I want to be a good minister

Chapter 12
"Your Highness—" At this moment, Su Chi's voice came from above his head, "The elder has something important to report."

When Cen Xi saw the moon-white figure turn away immediately and disappeared in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, picked up the thermometer, and threw it into the system. It seems that he will have to be more concealed in the future.

As for why the elder Ge was looking for His Highness the Crown Prince, Cen Xi guessed well, it was the single-body storm cloud that he discovered, Cen Xifu returned to the hall, and reviewed his "homework" with the students in the courtyard, and did not publish too much Opinion.

After a while, the speed of the boat increased a lot. At this speed, the official boat could reach the mouth of Jingqi Bay in less than two days.Cen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but another worry came to his mind.

As soon as the Jingqi Bay entrance arrived, she would have no reason to stay on the boat, but Cen Xi thought, since there is no system mission now, the persuasion mission has already been completed, so it shouldn't be considered a mission failure for her to secretly stay on the boat at this time.

Now that she has just met the king for the first time, how can she give up so easily? As a commoner, she has such opportunities several times.

Ding Dong——System: Found a ship of unknown origin, do you want to check it?
Cen Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then found that there was a dark exclamation mark in the task box, he was taken aback, and clicked.

Ding Dong——System: Congratulations on the task of taking the initiative to get close to matching the king, and get extra rewards: experience +200, weapon: nine-foot cold needle.

With a heartbeat, Cen Xi opened the nine-foot cold needle.

Nine-foot Cold Needle: An ancient secret weapon of the Tianji system. There are three 330 cold iron long needles in the box. Once opened, there will be no survivors in the six feet around. It can be used to escape in critical moments, with a 100% success rate.Number of uses: 1 time.

Cen Xi was stunned, almost stunned by the sudden surprise, that is to say, at a critical moment, she had another chance to escape danger.

System, does this count as a forced life increase?
Cen Xi carefully put the treasure into the package, and then went to check the suspicious ship.

The speed of the main ship was already very fast at this time, and the dozen or so auxiliary ships that followed fell a long distance at this time, and the suspicious-looking ship was right behind the dozen or so ships, and there was a red mark on the map, Although lagging behind at the moment, the speed is much faster than those ships.

Since it was a ship of unknown origin, Cen Xi didn't feel lucky. Although he didn't know the extent of the hatred and entanglement between the second and third princes and His Royal Highness, but according to the general court drama, the death of the prince was definitely caused by the two of them. What people most want to see.

Especially at this moment, it is really close to the border of Dajing, without anyone noticing.

Cen Xi turned around, and observed through Yun Xiang that Master Shu had been invited.

"Miss Cen, is there something else?" Others call her Cen's wife, which is a slang term in Beichang country. It's not a girl from a serious and wealthy family, and she is usually called a lady.

But Mr. Shu is different. This Mr. Shu, who has the reputation of "Uncut Jade", first respectfully called Miss Cen, and then looked at the opposite woman suspiciously.

The direction of the clouds in the sky has been carefully studied, but Cen Xi took her to the stern of the boat, the cabin blocked half of the sky, it was by no means a good place to observe the direction of the clouds.

"Lord Shu, don't pay attention to what people's daughters have seen since they were young. I have been on this ship for a few days. What kind of official ship, for fear of being late, I bothered Mr. Shu to come." Cen Xi said, pointing at a black shadow that had been left far behind.

The man was stunned, and followed the woman's gaze. Unlike Cen Xi, he was very familiar with the accompanying boat.

"How can you tell that that ship is following us?" Master Shu wanted to ask, there were many merchant ships and fishing boats encountered along the way.

"My lord, please see that the wind is heading northwest at this moment. Ordinary fishing boats and merchant ships will avoid the retrograde direction. Even if they sail south, they will choose the southwest direction. There is also a wharf there, but this merchant ship is in the same direction as us. We went to the wharf of the official ship."

There must be something wrong with a merchant ship going to the official ship dock.

Mr. Shu fell into deep thought, and after careful observation, the merchant ship was indeed sailing against the wind.

"Miss Cen is really careful." Instead of going to Mr. Ge and the others, she went directly to Mr. Cheng's place. Sure enough, she saw the suspicious ship and was about to report it, but Mr. Cheng hesitated. His Highness the Crown Prince is a gentleman, so they went together Turning around, he called Mr. Yuan Zhenyuan again. Seeing this, Mr. Yuan thought about it for a while, but the one who called was the personal guard of His Royal Highness Yuan Xu.

"Don't make any big moves, let those ships block the merchant ship, delay on purpose, and then see the situation—" So a fast boat rushed towards the auxiliary ship, and after a while, the auxiliary ships lined up to block the merchant ship behind them the way to go.

The direction of the wind began to change sharply, and the merchant ship, which was originally traveling at a high speed, had no choice but to slow down.

"My lord, the boat in front suddenly slowed down. We have no chance to overtake them—" Hearing the guard's report, the man in a dark blue brocade robe turned around immediately. Sure enough, he saw that the young man in the cabin could no longer sit still, and walked out of the cabin. Door.

"Fuling, the guards you keep are all free-living, if you can't get past them, then just crash into them—" The young man's face turned cold, seeing that the main ship was getting farther and farther away, his whole body gradually gathered hostility.

The man named Fu Ling immediately turned his head and ordered.

"Speed ​​up, go around from one side—" The guard immediately rushed to the bottom cabin.

But the young man suddenly sneered, standing under the sun, the black dress looked pale and feeble, and his thin shoulders made the young man's face very pale and thin, and even though he was cold and stern, but because of that piece that was paler than snow, transparent and thin Skin like cicada's wings, eyes as black as lacquer, give birth to a feeling of actress.

"My son——" Fu Ling sighed slightly inwardly. After following him for three years, he led them out of the forest of crying ghosts step by step. escape.

"Why bother chasing after him, just bump into it—" the young man said in a cold voice, Fu Ling and all the guards beside him were stunned, and immediately understood the brain circuit of their son.

"My son..." Before Fuling finished speaking, the young man turned around and headed towards the bilge.

Fu Ling's face turned pale, Shizi's words were just random words, since he said it, he must do it.

"My lord, my lord, listen to my subordinates—" Fu Ling hurriedly followed, the young man pushed away the guard at the helm, and took over by himself.

Fuling immediately took a step forward, blocking the steering wheel.

"Fuling, you're getting impatient—" the young man's tone was cold, his eyes froze, making all the guards tremble.

"My son, listen to Fu Ling first, then listen to Fu Ling—"

"Quickly say—" The boy's eyes were exhausted.

"What if, what if Miss Cen is on the boat ahead? We're fine, Miss Cen is a woman, what if she gets hurt after being hit like this?"

"At the pier, didn't the fishermen see her board the main boat with their own eyes." The young man was taken aback for a moment, but looked up at Fu Ling, and continued.

"Your Majesty, Miss Cen was captured by Beichang's official ship. She is naturally not an important person. It is more likely that she is on these second-in-command ships. Think again, isn't it true?" Fuling said hastily. Thinking about the possibility, he put down his hand.

Everyone then heaved a sigh of relief.

"You think it's possible that my sister is on the boat in front?" the young man said in a daze, the previous cold and stern expression disappeared in an instant, and his words trembled slightly, like a child who lost his parents.

"It's possible, son, we are not in a hurry. Getting into a fight with the people in Beichang will not help us find someone. Now that we know Miss Cen's clues, as long as we wait patiently for the ship ahead to dock, we will definitely find Miss Cen. Fuling suddenly felt distressed, and nodded heavily on purpose.
