sea

Chapter 223
The southeast wind blows, and the boat travels very fast. After traveling for more than a month, it rounded a cape and entered a vast ocean. Although there were winds and waves along the way, it was not a serious problem.Yao Qing's body is getting better day by day, her skin is getting plump, and she has regained her former radiance. Lu Jian sees it in her eyes and is happy in her heart. She only feels that this life is enough, even if she dies now, she will have no regrets.

After Xian and Yu left, Zuo Feiqing never said a word, just sat in the stern of the boat all day long, staring at the east in a daze.Everyone knew what was on his mind, so it was inconvenient to talk to him. Only Ning Ning occasionally sat with him for a while, but she was relatively silent.Gu Zhen, on the other hand, had nothing to do. He taught Lan You and Qing'e the foreign languages ​​of various countries, and at the same time, he directed the sailors on the ship to follow the wind and sail with the "Chart of the Seas of All Nations".Sometimes I have a drink with everyone, tell some jokes, drink to the point of joy, become arrogant, and compare my memory with Mo Yi, discuss food with Qin Zhiwei, discuss incense with Su Wenxiang, talk about music with Xue Er, and even talk with Yan Wei. It's back to the footwork of the game.Except for foot strength, Gu Zhen mostly loses, but he has a very good temper. He is happy when he wins, but he is not angry when he loses.

A few months later, when he arrived in Japan, Gu Zhen was proud of himself, and smiled to everyone: "See, I said that the earth is a sphere, and it turned around, and it really arrived in Japan." Lu Jian admired him and praised him two times. Suddenly, I remembered something again, and asked puzzledly, "If it's a round ball, why don't the people on the other side fall?" Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Hey, Mr. Mo Da, you read a lot, but Do you know why?" Mo Yi scratched his head straight, and said with a bitter face: "It's not in the book, and I don't know." Gu Zhen clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, Mr. Mo Da, there is something you don't know about daring." Mo Yi She blushed in embarrassment and lowered her head sullenly.

In order to replenish supplies and trade goods, the sea ship came to a small Japanese island. Yao Qing looked at the cargo and said with a smile: "Lu Jian, you once told me that you knew a princess from the Japanese country. Miss her?" Lu Jian said, "I kind of miss..." Suddenly seeing Yao Qing pouted unhappy, he smiled, "Ah Qing, if I really meant that, I would have stayed in Dongying long ago, so why bother to return home Earth looking for you?"

Yao Qing's expression softened, she stared at him and said, "You really came back to Middle Earth to find me?" Lu Jian pointed to her heart and said, "It's absolutely true, this heart is the clearest!" Yao Qing broke her face and said Smiling, he touched Lu Jian's heart lightly, and said, "Fool, if you lie to me, I'll dig it out." Lu Jian laughed again, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Ah Qing, 'Jie Hai' What's the difference here?" Yao Qing said: "There is no big difference, but the nails grow faster." Lu Jian nodded and said, "In this way, 'Jie Hai' can really be controlled by manpower!" Yao Qing gave him a white look and said "If this slave refining fails and I become a big monster, do you still want me?" Lu Jian caressed her face and said with a smile, "No matter what you become, you will be my good Ah Qing." Yao Qing was drunk when she heard that, she hugged Lu Jian's waist tightly and rested her head on his chest.

Lu Jian and Ashi were in trouble, and after listening to Yao Qing's words, he became curious and wanted to know about her. Seeing a businessman from Japan boarding a ship to trade, he dragged Yao Qing forward and asked about Ashi's whereabouts.The businessman had a lot of knowledge and heard that it was Princess Ashi of the Oda family, so he told Lu Jian that the Oda family married the Asai family of Beijinjiang last year, and Ashi married the lord Asai Nagamasa.When Lu Jian heard that Ah Shi was married, he was very happy for her, but his thoughts changed, and he thought again: "I don't know if this Qianjing is good or bad, but will he treat her kindly?"

Seeing his worried expression, Yao Qing asked the reason. Lu Jian said, Yao Qing smiled and said, "Is your heart hurt? If you regret it, there is still time." Lu Jian said, "You made fun of me again. As the saying goes: 'Once you enter The Hou family is as deep as the sea', Ah Shi is not very scheming, marrying these lords is really worrying." Yao Qing let out a half smile, "You say that, do you think I am scheming?" Lu Jian smiled wryly Said: "Ah Qing, do you really want me to give you my heart?" Yao Qing was taken aback, then sighed: "Lu Jian, I'm just joking, you are naturally considerate of others, I know that, I won't blame you." Lu Jian nodded and said, "I hope everyone is safe and healthy, that's the best." Yao Qing smiled, thinking: "Everyone is safe and healthy, I'm afraid it's impossible in this world Yes." Even though she thought so, she didn't want to spoil Lu Jianzhi's happiness.

The sea boat left Dongying, but within half a month, the East Island was already in sight, and everyone abandoned the big boat and docked in small boats.It was early in the morning, and there was no one on the beach. After going through the storm, Gu Zhen returned to his homeland and looked up at the Tai Chi Round Pagoda, with mixed feelings in his heart.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Island King, Island King." Gu Zhen looked around and saw a red-clothed girl running towards her with excitement, but it was Shi Miaomiao's servant girl named Tao Hong.

Before Gu Zhen could speak, Tao Hong grabbed her clothes and laughed and cried. Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Little Taoer, what are you doing so happy? Where is Miao Miao?" Tao Hong wiped her tears and said, "Miss is in the west of the island, Ye Wang, Ye Ye Wang, if I don’t see you for a few days, I will become a husband-wife stone!”

Gu Zhen said with a smile: "She must not have expected me to come back from the east, look at me scaring her." While talking, he rushed to the west of the island, and saw a woman in silver makeup, standing on the reef in a daze Looking at it, Gu Zhen felt joy in his heart, jumped over and hugged Shi Miaomiao from behind.

At this moment, he had achieved great feats, but he was caught by surprise, Shi Miaomiao couldn't dodge, first he was frightened and angry, and then he heard Gu Zhen's hearty laughter, he suddenly felt that his soul was floating away, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

Seeing her fainting, Gu Zhen was startled, and rushed into his true energy, Shi Miaomiao woke up, without saying a word, he punched and kicked her to death.Gu Zhen blocked him from left to right, pleaded for forgiveness, and said all good things before Shi Miaomiao calmed down, threw himself into his arms and wailed bitterly, complaining over and over again why he didn't come back sooner.

As the news got out, before the evening of the next day, disciples from the nearby East Island rushed over one after another. It was Yeling Ao Island who held a big banquet to celebrate the death of the enemy and the success of the Island King.Everyone in Xicheng also attended the meeting, and they drank until late at night, but they still refused to disperse.

At this time, a Dongdao disciple was drunk, took a large bowl of wine, staggered up to Gu Zhen, and said loudly: "...ha, King Gudao, fuck, I lived for more than 30 years. , I have only served two people, one is the supernatural power island king, and the other is you, come, have a bowl..." As he said, he put the bowl in front of Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen stood up with a smile, and the two of them drank a bowl. The disciple suddenly burst into tears, crying, "My grandfather died in Xicheng's hands, my father, my mother, and my brother all died in Xicheng's hands. The East Island has been suppressed by the West City for more than 200 years, and today he finally let out a sigh of relief. Wan Guizang is dead, he is the first offender, and there are many accomplices. Now that Feng Shui is turning, what is the old thief Wan relying on, but "Zhou Liu Liu" Is it false work? Now that this skill is in my hands, Dong Dao, everyone is saying, shouldn’t those bastards in Xicheng also have a taste of it?” At this point, he raised his eyebrows and glared at Zuo Feiqing who was singing.Zuo Feiqing's face was flushed with blood, his eyes were bright, and the hall was completely silent.Gu Zhen got up slowly, and said with a smile, "Brother Zuo calm down, this brother must be drunk."

"I'm not drunk!" The disciple faced the crowd and yelled loudly, "What I'm talking about is everyone's heartfelt thoughts, don't you think so?"

There was another silence in the hall, and suddenly there were shouts: "That's right... Blood debts are paid... Although the chief culprit is dead, the hostages are still there..." Suddenly someone shouted: "Tape down the West City!" Suddenly, hundreds of people They all echoed: "Step down to the West City, step down to the West City..." The voice became louder and more consistent, and finally, it sounded like thunder, and the shaking roof tiles rustled.

Zuo Feiqing stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and said loudly: "King of Gudao, Zuo is not inferior, so I will leave here." Gu Zhen frowned and said nothing, Zuo Feiqing looked at Lu Jiandao again, "You are the master of the Tianbu in Xicheng, and the East Island must be flattened." Xicheng, what do you say?"

Lu Jian was extremely embarrassed, and said falteringly: "I...I..." Yao Qing turned pale, got up and said, "I am a disciple of Xicheng Dibu, the king of Gudao, and the little girl is not inferior, so I will leave." Ning Ning also got up slowly , walked to Zuo Feiqing's side.Lu Jian had no choice but to get up and said, "Gu Zhen, it looks like we won't be able to stay."

Gu Zhen frowned and didn't say a word. The hearts of the people in the West City sank and they turned and walked out of the hall. Everyone in the East Island knew that Lu Jian was powerful. Seeing him go out, no one dared to be the front, and they all gave way.

Lu Jian and his entourage came to the beach and were worrying about the lack of a boat. Suddenly they saw Shi Miaomiao rushing over and said, "Brother, I'll take you on a boat." Yao Qing snorted and said with a somber face, "Miaomiao, today's matter, Gu Zhen What exactly do you think?" Shi Miaomiao smiled wryly, "He didn't say anything, he just asked me to take you off the island."

Zuo Feiqing sneered and said, "It seems that Gu is also moved. Hey, it's easy to say. Zuo is going back to the west city right now, waiting to learn the "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong"." Lu Jianyi frowned and said in a deep voice "Brother Zuo, Gu Zhen is not that kind of person." Zuo Feiqing snorted and remained silent.

Shi Miaomiao led the people onto the boat, and when the boat left Dongdao, everyone was unhappy. They thought that after Wan Guizang's death, all grievances and grievances would be wiped out, but now it seems that it was just wishful thinking.How could the years of blood feud between East Island and West City disappear without a trace because of the death of one person?
The boat sailed for several days and arrived at the other shore. Zuo Feiqing drifted away without saying a word.Lu Jian knew that he was deeply prejudiced and must go to Xicheng to report the news, and he really couldn't tell what it was like.After staying for a while, she turned around and invited Ning Ning to go to Deyi Mountain Villa. Ning Ning shook her head and said, "I'm not going. In fact, there is one thing I didn't tell you. That day in Xicheng, my father set himself on fire in order to save me and persecute Wan Guizang. and die..."

When Lu Jian heard this, he was shocked. Ning Bukong was once Lu Jian's robber and Ning Ning's father. He had no other influence on Lu Jian's life than Lu Haihai.Before that, Lu Jian mostly hated and despised him, but now when he heard the bad news, he felt a different kind of sadness in his heart, and stood there in a daze, unable to say a word.

Ning Ning sighed again, and said, "Daddy died in a rainbow and left nothing behind. I want to go back to West City and build a fake grave at the place where he burned himself to show filial piety. Oh, what filial piety, I , is really the most unfilial person in the world."

Lu Jian regained his composure and said worriedly, "It's thousands of miles away to the west city. How can you get there alone?" Ning Ning said, "I have an appointment with the leader of the left, and we will go together." , Zuo Feiqing fluttered in white, as if waiting for something.Seeing this, Lu Jian felt at ease, cupped his hands and said, "Take care, both of you!"

Ning Ning nodded slightly, took a deep look at Yao Qing, and suddenly mustered up her courage, and said, "Miss Yao, Lu Jian is a rare good person, you...you have to treat him kindly..." Yao Qing was slightly startled, and blurted out Said: "I treat him well?" Ning Ning said quietly: "What I said is good, not for a day, but for a lifetime." Yao Qing nodded and said coldly: "Okay, I promise you."

Ning Ning smiled slightly, but her eyes slowly turned red, she turned around and ran westward, met Zuo Feiqing, and disappeared into the distance.

After bidding farewell to Zuo and Ning, Lu Jian, Yao Qing, and the five slaves returned to Deyi Mountain Villa. They saw their mother, grandfather, and Wen Dai and his wife. It goes without saying that they were very happy.When Wen Dai heard that her daughter and Yu Zhao were staying in their homeland, she felt sad and happy for a moment, and she shed tears. Xian Tainu comforted her in every possible way, and she felt better.Yao Qing spoke quickly, held back for a long while, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and told Wen Dai and his wife what she had heard and seen on East Island.When the two heard this, they were taken aback and deeply felt that this matter was of great importance. Fearing a surprise attack from the East Island, they stayed for a day, and they both bid farewell and returned to the West City.

More than a month later, Shang Qingying and Lu Dahai observed from the sidelines, and seeing that Lu Jian and Yao Qing were getting closer, they tentatively mentioned marriage one after another. accepted.The second elder was overjoyed, and immediately set out to send out invitations and arrange the marriage.Shang Qingying also suggested that Xue Er and Su Wenxiang get married on the same day as Lu Jian. Su and Xue were very ashamed, but Qing'e and Lan You were overjoyed.

After Shen Zhouxu's death, Hu Zongxian was transferred to the capital, and soon he was implicated by Yan Song and his son, and died tragically in prison.The world is so cold, the Shen family has no backer, no one has paid attention to it for a long time, and the invitations sent by Shang Qingying are like nothing.She originally thought that the wedding would be deserted, and she felt apologetic towards Lu Jian, but unexpectedly, on the second day of the wedding, not only the masters from the Heaven Department gathered, but also the Earth Department, Lei Department, Feng Department, Sawa Department, and Shan Department all came.Moreover, the two divisions of water and fire have been rebuilt, and a new master has been elected. Ning Ning has become the master of the fire division. She was a little embarrassed, so she only asked the disciples of the fire division to send congratulatory gifts, and did not come in person.

For the first time in 20 years, the eight parts of Xicheng gathered together, and Deyi Villa was very lively.Lu Jian felt sorry, and said to Wen Dai: "It's thousands of miles away from the west city, how can Lu Jian be able to make the mother of the earth and everyone in the same family exhausted."

Wen Dai smiled and said, "You Lu Jian, don't you know? You are now the lord of the West City, and the city lord is getting married. Who would dare not come?" Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Lu Jian couldn't figure it out. Mind, puzzled: "Mother of the Earth, how can I be the Lord of the city, are you making fun of me?"

Wen Dai smiled slightly, and said, "Is this a joke? You, the city lord, are elected by the eight departments, and the name is justified." Lu Jian was even more surprised, shaking his head and said: "No, I am the lord of the Tianbu, if there is a matter of electing the city lord , why don’t I know?” Wen Dai smiled, and Xian Tainu said: “Eight departments recommend you, the one who wins the most wins, and now seven departments agree with you as the city lord, the opinions of the Tianbu are naturally dispensable. "

This matter was too abrupt, and it was not Lu Jian's original intention to be the city lord. For a while, Lu Jian choked on the spot like an egg stuck in his throat, speechless.

Wen Dai said again: "Qing'er's parents are both dead, and all relatives are bereaved. As a master, I can't ignore it. I have already found a house. As my mother's family, I will take Qing'er over first, and send her here after we get married tomorrow."
