Chapter 397
"Yuexi, good luck~"

The cry of the parrot Liuli sounded in the carriage, waking Shen Yuexi who was dreaming.

She yawned, opened her eyes, and looked up at the swaying sheer curtain on the car window. The sunlight cut into the car through the gap of the sheer curtain, casting a striking bright mark on the varnished floor.

The wheels were still rattling as usual, and the crackling of horsewhips could be heard outside from time to time, and the smell of the sea could already be smelled in the air.

She took a deep breath to refresh herself, first put her hands on her belly, closed her eyes and felt carefully, until the baby touched her palm, then she lifted the silk quilt with peace of mind, supported her body with her hands and remembered.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you."

Su Mo was tidying up the quilt. Seeing that she was going to get up, she quickly sat behind her and supported her back with both hands.

Shen Yuexi smiled and said, "Don't be so careful, I won't even be able to get out of bed."

Su Mo said with a smile: "My stomach is not small anymore, I like to walk with my hands behind my back, and I am still trying to be brave."

Shen Yuexi moved her legs off the bed, sat on the edge of the bed with her messy hair, and said: "If my mother can rein in the precipice, I won't have to suffer this crime. I ran from outside the pass to the southernmost part of Jingzhou. This is the first time I have traveled so far in my life. .”

Riding in a carriage every day is too boring.But Xiao Zhuo was afraid that she would be in danger, so she was not allowed to leave the carriage during the whole process.Fortunately, with the company of Su Mo and Xia Lan, and the parrot Liuli, they finally managed it.

Su Mo comforted: "When we get to the island, Bei Heng and I will definitely persuade mother. After all, we are all her children, and we are not grass and trees. She will definitely change her mind."

Shen Yuexi said: "I hope so."

Pei Jingyun captured Mei Dai, Shen Lan, and Su Mo's father, and sent assassins to assassinate her and Xiao Zhuo. This trip to the south was exhausting, but it had to be done.

Earlier, the imperial court found out that Pan Jinlong, the governor of water transport, was Pei Jingyun's confidant, and had been concealing Pei Jingyun's ships entering and leaving the port for nearly 20 years. Now Dali Temple has put Pan Jinlong in prison to await his punishment.

States and counties need officials to govern, and the prime minister leads officials from various ministries back to the capital to handle government affairs.General Zhao Mu personally led [-] cavalry to escort them to the south.

After traveling for half a month, the car windows were hung with thick cotton curtains that were airtight, then linen curtains to block the wind, then silk and satin curtains that only shaded the sun, and finally breathable Cool sheer curtains.The same goes for clothes replacement.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we are about to reach the southernmost port of Jingzhou. Although it is January, it feels like summer.

"Beiheng, you're sorry for me." Parrot Liuli probably saw that Shen Yuexi only talked to Su Mo and ignored him, so he changed another sentence, "Beiheng, you're sorry for me."

Shen Yuexi and Su Mo looked at Liuli fluttering her wings on the crossbar at the same time, and both sighed.

Liuli's left and right wings have lost dozens of flying feathers, and her tail is also bald. If feathers are compared to clothes, then Liuli can be called a beggar among birds.The most speechless thing is that it pulled it out by itself.

Shen Yuexi once left it at home, and it became irritable and plucked all the hair on its neck.Shen Yuexi was afraid that it would continue to pluck her feathers, so she took it with her when she intercepted the enemy at Baixiu Mountain.After the battle came to a critical moment, he couldn't take care of it, so he had to let Xia Lan watch, Liuli started to pluck his wings again, and it ended up like this.

Fortunately, the fluttering fan can still fly a few times, otherwise it would really be a chicken.

Shen Yuexi raised the back of her hand and chirped twice, Liuli flew to her wrist and stopped, stretching out her mouth to comb the feathers on her back.

"Liuli really likes being with sister-in-law." Su Mo reached out and touched Liuli's head, "When we bought it before, we didn't know it was so sticky."

Shen Yuexi picked up a peanut from the plate and stuffed it into Liuli's mouth, saying, "This bird has a bad temper... Is my brother still following the team?"

Su Mo turned around and opened a gap in the gauze curtain to look out, and said: "Before dawn, he stuffed his bag and came over early. He didn't dare to show up. If the general sees him, he will be in trouble. Sister-in-law, do you want to eat together?" ?”

Shen Yuexi also felt quite helpless.Zhao Mu still hated Xiao Beiheng.Although his wife, children and children were all saved, the fact that Xiao Beiheng sent envoys to the capital to kill people was a fact after all.Neither Xiao Zhuo nor Shen Yuexi could say anything.

She put the glass back on the crossbar, and reached out to pick up the bag on the table. The pieces of jade pendant in the bag collided with each other, making a crisp rattling sound.

"Sister-in-law, you have been playing with it all the way," Su Mo said puzzledly as she got up to prepare for breakfast, "This jade pendant is broken, even if it can be put together, it can't be restored. What are you doing with it?"

Shen Yuexi said: "This is the only relic left by Empress Wen to her husband, and it is also a token of love from her father to her mother. It is so important that it must be taken well."

"But it's broken."

Shen Yuexi smiled without saying a word, tied the jade pendant around her waist, and stood up to wash.

Big Bear can use these fragments to create the Dragon Huan Yupei again.Although she could use other jade for this, she believes that only the fragments are of significance.If you change it to other jade, it will not be the original jade pendant.

She finished washing and was having breakfast with Su Mo when the carriage stopped.The car door opened, Xia Lan appeared and said, "Master, we have arrived at the port."

Shen Yuexi has never seen a port since she came to this world.Hearing this, he became excited, quickly swallowed the pastries in two bites, and got out of the car with Su Mo to watch.

As soon as I got out of the car, a gust of sea breeze hit my face, which was wet and had a strong fishy smell.

Shen Yuexi instinctively raised her hand and slapped her nose, then looked at Su Mo, who was frowning and covering her nose just like her.The two looked at each other and smiled, looking towards the pier.

On both sides of the piers stretching out into the sea like arms, there are dozens of large and small sea ships.White seagulls stood in rows on the mast and called, and workers lifted whole baskets of lively sea fish off the boat.Not far from the pier is the bustling fish market, with endless chatter between fishmongers and customers.

After passing the fish market, there were high and low houses. Xiao Zhuo and General Zhao Mu were talking with an official in front of a house.

"Sister and sister, you and Xia Lan stay in the car for dinner, I'll go and have a look."

After Shen Yuexi gave her instructions, she walked up to Xiao Zhuo.

Seeing her coming, Xiao Zhuo introduced the official to her and said: "Yuexi, this is the newly appointed Governor of Water Transport, and he has already prepared a ship for us."

When the two parties met, Governor Ren said to Xiao Zhuo: "King An, we originally had nearly a hundred official ships, but the previous Governor funded the traitor Pei Jingyun and allocated [-] ships to deliver supplies to her. Now these ships None of the ships are in port and there are only ten available at the moment."

Zhao Mu said: "How many people can be accommodated in ten ships? We are going to crusade against rebels. Based on the calculation of 500 people in one ship, we can only accommodate 5000 people. Zhao has [-] cavalry here. Isn't the shipyard building?"

Governor Ren glanced at the cavalry in the distance, and said with a bitter face: "What the general said is that the shipyard has been working overtime to build. But it has only been half a month since I received the news, and it is too late."

Xiao Zhuo said: "General, we can go to see the progress of the shipyard first."

Shen Yuexi took Xiao Zhuo's arm and said, "I'll go too, it's my first time in the port, is there any delicious sea fish?"

"Yes, yes, what kind of fish does Princess An want to eat?" Governor Ren led the way, "There are cuttlefish, sea crab, conch, shark's fin...you can eat sashimi, grilled, fried, steamed...you can eat as much as Princess An wants enough."

A group of people said, walking towards the busy shipyard in the distance.

Xiao Beiheng stood on the roof of a house not far from the pier and watched, when a chuckle sounded behind him.

"Young master, you are really elegant."

Xiao Beiheng turned around, he had already recognized the voice of Yu, and he didn't intend to fight her.Firstly, Lailong's martial arts are also very high, and secondly, Lailong is also wary of him.

Sitting on the corner of the roof, looking at Shen Yuexi, Xiao Zhuo and others in the distance, said: "Young master, you have protected them all the way, we really can't do anything."

Xiao Beiheng said coldly: "Are you following all the way?"

"The master has an order, let us assassinate... But your arrangement is really special, let the young lady and Shen Yuexi ride in a carriage. Let's consider poisoning, lest the young lady eat it. Let's shoot it with a musket, or we may accidentally hurt you young lady."

"Xiao Zhuo is my elder brother, and Shen Yuexi is my sister-in-law. If you want to kill them, you are against me."

"If you don't kill them, you're going against the master. You know, young master, that we really obey the master. But it's all at the port, and we have nothing to do but let them board the ship."

Speaking of this, his dim eyes lit up, and he said: "Young master, if Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi get on board, we can scuttle their boat at sea and drown them..."

"Momo and I will take the same boat with brother and sister-in-law to see mother," Xiao Beiheng said, "you should give up."

He raised his head and was speechless, and said for a while: "Young master, why can't you stand with the master. Xiao Zhuo robbed you of the throne, and Shen Yuexi robbed the young lady's queen. You really don't care?"

"I have already been an emperor, and Momo has also been a queen," Xiao Beiheng said, "But I don't think those things will bring happiness at all, so I'd better let the eldest brother do it."

After he killed his father and proclaimed himself emperor, Su Mo completely lost her smile.Later, he almost forced Su Mo to death in order to survive, and he realized that the power he was striving for could not bring him happiness.

Now he already knows what he really wants, that is to live a good life with Su Mo, and nothing else is important.

"Young master, I really have nothing to do with you." Obscure took out a small bamboo tube from his bosom and threw it over, "Next, this is the master's message to her son."

Xiao Beiheng was afraid that she would cheat, so he didn't go directly to pick it up, and let the bamboo tube fall on the roof, holding it down with the scabbard.

"Young Master, you just need to open it and have a look." Hazy spread his hands helplessly, "We won't hurt the Young Master, but we can't help it when we get to the sea. Young Master, please make a decision quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Xiao Beiheng picked up the bamboo tube with his scabbard, unplugged it, took out the paper roll inside, glanced at the words on the note, and said to himself: "It is indeed mother's handwriting."

After reading, his pupils gradually constricted, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

When he looked up again, he found that he had disappeared at some point.
