Chapter 47 The Truth
"Hehe..." Sheng Wan laughed inexplicably, but he had some clues.

"What happened later? There should be many people coming to hunt for treasure, right?" She asked with a positive expression.

The boatman nodded, "Eight or nine generations of my ancestors have made a living by fishing in the Hanjiang River. For thousands of years, countless people have gone down the Hanjiang River to hunt for treasure. It has been passed down from my wife's ancestors that it is Hanjiang River. The treasure at the bottom of the river is the funeral object of the beloved concubine, whoever touches it will die! You see, I am not that greedy, I have not been good on the river these years!"

"Greedy is not enough to swallow an elephant." Sheng Wan nodded in agreement.

"I've heard people say that this cold river used to be full of waves and people, and then a woman calmed down after a cruise on the river. Is this true?" Sheng Hou asked the old woman selling lanterns to her story, asked.

The boatman nodded and smiled, "It's true. It should have happened hundreds of years ago, when my great-grandfather was. I heard that the girl was a disciple of Daoist Jiuxuan from the Heaven Realm, and she came down to earth. I came to persuade this concubine to be kind, and after listening to her persuasion, the concubine never hurt innocent people anymore, and later became the guardian empress of Hanjiang! The Lantern Festival held every year in Hanjiang City is for The prayer of the beloved concubine."

In fact, Sheng Hou didn't believe such legends, but the stunning red-clothed woman in the painting boat, the water drops, and the mirage-like town under the water all appeared in front of her in such a real way!

She couldn't help but not believe it!

Unknowingly, the boat has rowed to the shore.

Ji Qinghan gave the boatman a large silver coin, and took Sheng Wan to the inn.

As soon as he entered the inn, he saw Hong'er walking back and forth in the lobby with an anxious expression on his face.

"Hong'er?" Sheng Wan called her.

Hong'er raised her head and saw that it was her, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she ran up, "Ma'am, where have you been, Hong'er is so worried!"

"Hehe, I walked around the river with my master and fell asleep before I knew it." Sheng Wan lied with a laugh.

"Ma'am, as long as you're fine, hurry up and rest upstairs, I'll get you hot water to wash up!" Hong'er hurriedly ran to the back hall after speaking.

Sheng Wan looked back at Ji Qinghan, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, buddy!"

After speaking, he leisurely walked upstairs.

Ji Qinghan stretched out his hand to touch the place where Sheng Wan patted him just now, and murmured unpredictablely, "Little buddy?"

Because of tossing around most of the night, when Sheng Hou woke up, it was already high in the sun.

The morning sun hit her face, and her eyes were unfamiliar with the stimulation of the sun, so she stretched out her hand to block it.

At this time, the door of the room was opened slightly, and the sound of deliberately lowered footsteps reached her ears.

"Hong'er, what time is it?"

"Ma'am, you're awake, it's time to mark the time." Hong'er's crisp voice came.

Shen Shi, Zi Chou Yin... It's already nine o'clock!
Sheng Hou hurriedly opened his eyes and sat up on the bed, rubbing his eyes.

"boom--"

"Madam, your face..." After the sound of porcelain smashing, Hong'er's terrified voice sounded!

Sheng Wan quickly stood up and asked her, "What's wrong with my face?"

Because there is no bronze mirror in this room, Sheng Wan is even more anxious!

Hong'er hurriedly trotted towards the small table next to the window, took out a small mirror from the box and handed it to her.

The dim yellow bronze mirror couldn't take a clear picture of the person, but she vaguely saw that the black 'tattoo' on her cheek was gone, but the large piece of her neck that was exposed was covered with dark clouds, as if someone dyed her black with ink as a prank!

so dark...

She put down the mirror, waved her hand quickly, and said indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay, just wear a scarf when you go out later."

"Madam, do you want to invite the prince to come over and show you?" Hong'er was still terrified.The neck is so black that it looks like it has been poisoned, it's terrible!

"Oh, it's all right. The master said it will be fine. This must be a sign of improvement."

Sheng Hou went to wash his face on the counter.

Hong'er was still a little worried, but since Sheng Hou didn't care much, she turned to put breakfast on the table for her!
While Sheng Hou was eating breakfast, Ji Qinghan walked in from the door with a condensed expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Sheng Hou rarely saw him so preoccupied.

"Change your clothes, and go through the back door later." Ji Qinghan said to her.

"What's the matter? An enemy is chasing you?" Sheng Hou immediately narrowed his eyes, looking vigilant but curious.

"Sheng Rong is downstairs."

ha?Her father is here!

When mentioning her father, Sheng Wan really wanted to roll his eyes to express his dislike of seeing him.

"Hey! You are the prince, why are you avoiding him?" Sheng Yu asked in confusion.

Ji Qinghan glanced at her, and said coldly, "He's probably going to take risks this time, if he sees you here, do you think he won't pull you along?"

"Er..." This seems to make sense.

Sheng Hou quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said to Hong'er, "Hong'er, go find two men's clothes, I want to disguise myself."

"Yes, ma'am." Hong'er quickly cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and walked out the door quickly.

Seeing that Ji Qinghan didn't leave, Sheng Yu thought about asking him something, "Ji Qinghan, tell me quickly, I'm not Sheng Rong's person, am I?"

Ji Qinghan raised her eyes with a mentally ill expression, she didn't speak.

"Hey, hey! What's that expression on your face? Could it be that I was born to you?" Sheng Wan calculated, Ji Qinghan seems to be in her 30s, she is only sixteen, and in ancient times, a man could get married at the age of 14... so After all, she really might be his baby!

Omega's—

Ji Qinghan's sweat suddenly turned black, he stretched out his hand and tapped Shenghou's forehead, "Don't make random guesses."

"I didn't make random guesses. If a paternity test can be done here, I will definitely do it with you first." Sheng Wan laughed.

Just kidding, if Ji Qinghan is her father, she must have had an unfortunate childhood!Who wants to be a father and daughter with facial paralysis!

After a while, Hong'er came in with two sets of men's clothes.

After half an hour—

A young boy in a dark red brocade came down the stairs. She was wearing a veiled hat, petite but very heroic. Behind him stood a servant who was walking down with him. up the stairs.

It was dinner time, and the Tang was full of people, Sheng Hou glanced quickly from the faces of the crowd, and a group of people by the window on the left side of the door caught her attention.

She quickly withdrew her gaze and walked towards the back hall.

Outside the back door, the carriage was already waiting outside the door.

Sheng Wan hurriedly got into the carriage, and Ji Qinghan was already sitting cross-legged inside.

"Hi." She greeted him with a smile, and after sitting down, she smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a handsome boy now?"

Ji Qinghan glanced at her indifferently, and saw that her lips were red and her teeth were white. Although she used makeup to cover up her original appearance, she still lacked a bit of heroism.

Although the group of them left in a hurry, snacks and sweet dates were still prepared on the small table in the carriage.

While eating, Sheng Wan took out the 'magazine' he bought from the side of the road and read it.

The characters of the four countries are unified, and they are traditional characters that are difficult to write and recognize.However, before traveling through time, Sheng Wan followed his grandfather to learn how to appraise and study antique calligraphy and paintings. Traditional Chinese characters and ancient Chinese are must-learn knowledge!

Sheng Wan read the magazine for a while, and suddenly saw Hanjiang outside the small window.

During the day, the water of the Hanjiang River is azure, and it looks very calm. It feels very comfortable to paddle boats of all sizes on it.

She thought of the story she heard from the boatman last night, and couldn't help but glance at the man next to her, "Ji Qinghan, do you think there is any treasure in the cold river?"

"Have."

Ji Qinghan always liked to tell the truth.

"Eh...you don't have any ideas?" This man is a master of tomb robbers, and he looks like the kind of man who has experienced many battles.

It stands to reason that he should be more interested in that kind of treasure.

"The Han River is [-] meters deep, and it was a rift valley during the Xia Dynasty." Ji Qinghan said flatly.

"Huh?" Sheng Wan was surprised.

Then he questioned again, "No way, what the boatman said last night was all false?"

"Not all of them." Ji Qinghan said calmly.

Sheng Wan felt itchy when he teased her, she always liked this kind of older stories.

This person just looks like he can't make a loud fart with three sticks, what a nuisance!
"You weren't born in that era, how could you know, let me fool you! Humph~" Sheng Hou snorted coldly.

Ji Qinghan looked at her quietly, as if she was recalling, "At that time, there was a prairie cavalry attacking the imperial capital, but they were repulsed by General Chang Sheng at that time. The emperor's favorite concubine Mo Ji wanted to She wants to gallop on the sea, but the imperial capital is thousands of miles away from the sea. In order to satisfy her wish, the emperor ordered people to cut off a section of the rift at that time and block both ends, and then pour a lot of water into it. After that, he ordered skilled craftsmen to spend half a year A golden ship was built."

"That emperor sounds a lot like a faint king, and that favorite concubine doesn't sound too good either." Sheng Hou didn't expect that the facial paralyzed king would tell her stories, and listened with great interest.

"He just seems to do everything for her..." Ji Qinghan said with dark eyes when he heard Sheng Yu's comment.

"Okay, let's not worry about this. What happened next?" Sheng Wan asked eagerly, not paying much attention to Ji Qinghan's expression.

"Later... One day the emperor was taken to the Queen's Palace to sleep in the open because he was drunk at the official banquet. The concubine was so angry that she went out of the palace and boarded a golden boat to get drunk. But it rained heavily that night, and the flood broke through the middle of the rift. Because of the high terrain, the golden ship was directly washed out of the mud wall, and when the flood came to Hanjiang City, the ship sank because it couldn't bear the pressure of collisions." Ji Qinghan said lightly, but From his description, it can be felt that she seems to have experienced everything.

"Then... where's the treasure?" Sheng Hou's mind suddenly outlined a love-hate relationship between a man and two women.But she had other concerns.

"At that time, the bare hull of the golden ship was a work of art, but in order to please his beloved concubine, Emperor Xia put all the treasures he had collected for many years in the cabin." After Ji Qinghan finished speaking, she raised her eyes and stared closely at Sheng Yu. .

It seemed that he wanted to see something from Sheng Hou's face.

Sheng Wan just curled his lips, "It's a pity we have to leave, otherwise I really want to go down and have a look!"

Just as Ji Qinghan was about to say something, suddenly his whole face changed!

"Peng—rumble—"

Their carriage was suddenly hit by a strong impact and rolled over.

Accompanied by the exclamation of many people!
Sheng Yu only felt panicked in his heart, but the man who was already holding her tightly in his arms said calmly, "Don't be afraid."
