Haidonghang

Chapter 4
"Ying'er... no..." At this moment, Zhu Yunwen suddenly woke up from his dream.

Ten days have passed since Zhu Yunwen escaped from the palace.At this time, Zhu Yunwen was on a merchant ship heading for North Korea.

In fact, since Li Chenggui established the Lee Dynasty, in addition to official exchanges between the two countries, non-governmental exchanges have also become more frequent.

There are often merchants who transship and sell goods from the two countries.Of course, this kind of non-governmental commercial activities was carried out in private, because Zhu Yuanzhang had strictly prohibited the people of Ming Dynasty from going to sea privately out of political interests.

Once someone goes to sea privately and is discovered by the government, he will inevitably be imprisoned.However, in the face of huge interests, many people still choose to take risks.

Zhu Yunqi is different from his grandfather, he believes that going to sea for trade is beneficial to the livelihood of poor people.Therefore, since he took the throne, he has relaxed the control over private maritime trade.Therefore, at this time, Zhu Yunqi had the opportunity to escape to a foreign land.

"You're awake." At this moment, standing in front of Zhu Yunwen was a young man about his age. He was wearing a dark green satin brocade robe and had exquisite features.It's just that it's not difficult to hear from his accent that he is not a Han Chinese, but a wealthy businessman from North Korea.

The man in front of him lives in the "private room" with Zhu Yunqi.In order to make a profit, the owner of the merchant ship set up several separate rooms in the ship. If you don't want to live in a big house with a bed, and you can afford it, then you can choose to live in such a "private room".

The biggest difference between the "private room" here and the outhouse is that it provides daily necessities, such as tables, chairs, benches, beds and bedding.There are no beds in the outhouse, so if you don't bring your own bedding, you can only sleep directly on the boat deck.

Each "private room" can accommodate two people.Zhu Yunqi originally wanted to reserve this "private room".But at this time, Zhu Yunqi's money was only enough to pay half of the price, so the boatman later arranged the young man into Zhu Yunqi's room.

The man in the green robe once took the initiative to say hello to Zhu Yunqi.It's just that Zhu Yunqi didn't pay attention to him. After experiencing the great changes in the palace a few days ago, his tears have dried up and his blood has become cold.He doesn't need anyone's attention anymore, and he doesn't trust anyone anymore.At this moment, only two words filled his heart: revenge.Seeing that Zhu Yunqi ignored him, the green-robed man stopped making fun of himself.

Unexpectedly, this time he would take the initiative to talk to him again, but Zhu Yunqi still ignored him.

"Why are you like this? My master is kind enough to talk to you, but you don't even care about it." At this time, the servant behind the man couldn't stand it any longer, and even scolded Zhu Yunqi.

This entourage slept in the outer room, and the green-robed man originally planned to book a private room, but when he boarded the boat, there was only Zhu Yunqi in the room with an empty bed.

In desperation, he had to arrange for his servants to sleep in an outhouse.But apart from sleeping, the two of them, master and servant, spend the rest of their time together.

"Jin An, don't be rude." At this moment, the man reprimanded the servants behind him.

Zhu Yunqi still didn't say a word, just turned over on the bed and turned his back to the master and servant.

"Guest officer, your food is here." At this moment, a man came into the room with several bowls of food, put them on the dining table, and said to the man in green robe with a smile.

"Thank you little brother, Jin An, why don't you thank my second brother?" At this moment, the man in green robe turned his head to his servant.

Jin An immediately understood what the master meant, and immediately took out a silver ingot from the bag and handed it to the boatman.

"Thank you, sir." Looking at the shiny silver ingot, Chuan Xiaoer smiled even more happily.

Chuan Xiaoer especially likes to deliver meals to this green-robed man, because every time he can get a tip from him.When Chuan Xiaoer left the room, he squinted at Zhu Yunqi, whose back was turned to him, with a trace of contempt in his eyes.Maybe it's because Zhu Yunqi never gave him a tip, let alone a tip, he hasn't even asked for a meal since he got on the boat.If you don't have money, you still want to sleep in a private room like others with a swollen face?
No matter whether it is the big house outside or the private room inside, meals are not included.If you need the boatman to provide meals, you need to purchase them separately.From big delicacies to small household meals, as long as you can afford it, the boatman can make it for you.Then the boatman will send it to the guests.

As long as there are customers ordering food, the boat owner will pay Chuan Xiaoer an errand fee.If you are lucky, Chuan Xiaoer can also get a tip from the guests.Chuan Xiaoer originally thought that Zhu Yunwen slept in a private room, even if he didn't give him a tip, at least he wouldn't bring his own rations like those business travelers in the big house.

Therefore, he can at least earn a few errand fees from Zhu Yunqi.But what he didn't expect was that after Zhu Yunwen boarded the boat, he didn't even order a single meal.This made him despise this man from the bottom of his heart.

Who can think of it?In this vast sea, you can also enjoy the treatment on land, which really corresponds to the old saying: money can turn ghosts.Of course, this is if you can afford the money.If you have no money, the boatman will not even give you a steamed bun.

In addition to the occasional family visits on this merchant ship, it is generally a business trip between the two countries.Of course, most of them just do some small business.People as rich and powerful as the man in the green robe are only a minority.Therefore, when most people go to sea, they usually bring their own rations and choose big houses to live in.

Of course, Zhu Yunqi, who was going out to sea for the first time, didn't know this. At that time, he just got on the boat with two steamed buns bought from the street.He thought that Yajian was in charge of meals, but he didn't know the rules of this merchant ship until the owner of the ship asked him for money.

However, Zhu Yunqi doesn't have any money now, all the silver on his body has been used to pay for this private room, and these silver taels were exchanged by himself as a personal jade pendant.He wanted to exchange the medicine he was carrying with the ship owner for some meals, but he was rejected unexpectedly.

No way, Zhu Yunqi had to divide the two steamed buns into several meals.However, no matter how frugal he is, two steamed buns won't last long.

Just like that, Zhu Yunqi finished eating two steamed buns three days ago.In the past three days, Zhu Yunwen hadn't eaten an inch of rice, and when he was really hungry, he drank some water to satisfy his hunger, and then went straight to sleep.

Only in sleep, he will not feel hungry.So, although it was Chen Shi and it was time for everyone to have dinner, Zhu Yunwen had already slept in bed for a long time.It's just that he dreamed about the scenes he encountered in the palace that day, and he woke up with a start.

However, the man in green robe didn't know all this, because he didn't always stay in the house, he sometimes went to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze and look at the sea view.

He had seen Zhu Yunqi eating steamed buns in the room before, so he thought Zhu Yunqi should belong to the type of person who prepared his own rations.Although I haven't seen him eating steamed buns in the past few days, it is estimated that he ate during the time when he left the room.

Just as the green-robed man and his servants sat down to eat, Zhu Yunwen's stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound.

"What's that sound?" The green-robed man didn't listen carefully for a while, so he asked Jin An.Jin An pointed to Zhu Yunqi and said, "It's from him."

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen's stomach was rumbling again.This time, the man in the green robe finally heard clearly.I also probably guessed why Zhu Yunqi was like this.

So, he picked up his rice bowl, put a lot of food in it, and brought it to Zhu Yunqi's bed with chopsticks. "Master, that kind of person..." Jin An was about to say something, but was immediately stopped by the man in green robe.

"Brother, I haven't touched these meals yet, if you don't mind, let's eat some first."

After hearing what he said, Zhu Yunqi turned his seat and stood up, staring straight at the man in green robe, and said coldly, "I have no money."

"No money. I rely on my parents at home and my friends when I go out. Everyone has difficulties!" At this time, the man in the green robe handed the bowl in Zhu Yunqi's hand again.

After hearing his words, Zhu Yunqi didn't refuse anymore, and took the bowl from the man in green robe.Maybe it's because he's been hungry for too long, at this time, Zhu Yunqi didn't care about eating, so he sat on the bed and ate voraciously.

"There are still some meals on the table over there, brother, you can sit over and eat with us." The man in green robe pointed to the table and said to Zhu Yunqi with a smile.

Seeing that Zhu Yunqi didn't reply, the man in green robe sat back on the dining table, picked up another bowl, and filled it with rice. "This man really doesn't know good from bad." Jin An couldn't help muttering again.The man in the green robe didn't say much, but just glared at the servant, Jin An stopped talking, lowered his head and started eating.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Yunqi got up and put the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, then walked out of the house.The moment he opened the door, he stopped in his tracks, and without turning his head, he said softly, "Thank you." His tone was still cold.After speaking, he walked out of the room.

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the green-robed man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly, and continued to eat.

Zhu Yunqi walked to the deck with heavy steps. At this time, several people on the deck were blowing the sea breeze.This is the first time Zhu Yunwen has come here since boarding the ship.These days, he is either lying in bed in a daze or sleeping. If it is not for going to the toilet, he will not even leave his room.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the night is as cool as water.The fine waves came wave after wave from the junction of water and sky, carrying bits of broken silver.

Looking at all this in front of him, Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help reciting on the railing: "I've been imprisoned in the rivers and lakes forty autumns, and Xiao Xiaohua's hair is full of hair."Where is the home of hatred in the universe?Jianghan is ruthless and the water flows by itself.The clouds in Changle Palace dispersed, and there were two sorrowful voices in the Chaoyuan Pavilion.The new cattail willows are green every year, and the old wild ones keep crying.

Quill, Guill, are you all right?At this time, Zhu Yunqi couldn't help but think of his two sons.

After Zhu Yunwen married Empress Ma, Empress Ma gave birth to him two sons, Zhu Wenkui and Zhu Wengui.On the day Zhu Yunqi set himself on fire, Empress Ma planned to take her two children and leave with Zhu Yunqi.But he still couldn't bear it, so he planned to ask the maid to take the two children away and wait for an opportunity to escape from the palace, but he didn't expect Zhu Wenkui to be unwilling to separate from her.

In desperation, Empress Ma had to let the maid take away Zhu Wengui, who was only two years old, alone.

After escaping from the palace, Zhu Yunwen and the others didn't know where to go.Due to living in the deep palace for a long time, Zhu Yunqi didn't know the situation outside the palace, nor did he know where Zhu Di's power had infiltrated.

If he ran into Zhu Di's sphere of influence, wouldn't it be like a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth and throwing himself into the trap, and then he would have failed Empress Ma's painstaking efforts.

After some deliberation, Zhu Yunqi made a decision: go to sea.

Because only overseas is not Zhu Di's sphere of influence.The most important thing right now is to protect your own life.Where there is life, there is hope.

He firmly believed that as long as he could survive this time, he would definitely return to Zhu Di the pain that Zhu Di injected on him thousands of times.

Just in case, he didn't take Zhu Wenkui away, he believed that it would be safer if Zhu Wenkui was not by his side.So he entrusted Zhu Wenkui to Cheng Ji, took out a bank note and some medicines from the wooden box, and hurried on the road alone.

Recalling what happened in the past few days after separating from Cheng Ji, Zhu Yunqi couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

I thought that since I could escape from the palace, my life might take a turn for the better, but I didn't expect that the leak in the house happened to rain all night.

Not long after he and Cheng Ji separated, the only bank note on his body was stolen by a thief. In desperation, he had no choice but to pawn his personal jade pendant at a pawnshop to survive.Later, he was publicly humiliated by a few hooligans in the market.After finally getting on the boat, I didn't expect that even three meals a day would become a problem.

What is the scene on the east side of the sea?Where will your future go?Looking at the vast sea, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
