Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 217: Fighting the sword to the end of the world, this is a happy journey

The next thing is to wait for time and follow the procedures, smoothly and without any disturbance.

When all the formalities were completed, Chen Jin sat in a carriage and left the capital quietly.

After getting out of the city, I felt a sense of relief and couldn't help but chant: "The sea is wide enough for fish to jump, and the sky is wide enough for birds to fly."

The recent atmosphere in the capital has made him feel more and more depressed and strange. In short, the situation is changing and the undercurrent is turbulent.

Gu Leyou had the same feeling and joked: "Scholar, is this bird serious?"

Chen Jin laughed and scolded: "As long as it passes through your mouth, it will become inappropriate."

The two laughed.

Ma Shengshen has a trademark serious face. His beard has not been trimmed and has grown more lush, making him a veritable "bearded".

He whipped his horse and headed back to Zhongzhou from the capital.

Along the way, since there were no troops accompanying them, it was inevitable that some thieves would be provoked. The person in charge was Gu Leyou, who stole the show.

Since we traveled lightly, we returned much faster than when we came.We traveled day and night, crossing rivers, rain or shine.

On this day, I returned to my home in Zhongzhou Mansion.

Su Jin came out after hearing the news, with a look of joy on her face.

When the names on the gold list are released, copies will be distributed to various state capitals at the same time, so the Su family all knows that this uncle has won the first place in the list of "National Scholars".

Now that Chen Jin returned home with great honor, he was naturally warmly received.

Chen Jin also conveyed Su Xiaocheng's message of safety.

The boss, Su Xiaoming, was a little dissatisfied with this: He couldn't even write a handwritten letter, and only sent back one sentence, which was outrageous...

Then he asked again: "Shou Heng, when you were released as an official, what kind of official position did you take?"

Chen Jin replied: "Go to Raksha Haizhou to be the magistrate."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoming was surprised: "Why were you sent to Rakshasa Haizhou? Did you offend someone? What does the second brother, the Minister of Rites, do for a living?"

Chen Jin explained: "My second uncle originally wanted me to go back to Zhongzhou, but I chose to go to Rakshasa Haizhou."

"why?"

Su Xiaoming was very puzzled. According to normal understanding, going to Rakshasa Sea Continent was tantamount to being exiled and resettled.

It was difficult for Chen Jin to tell the real reason, and he said vaguely: "I just like to go overseas and see different scenery."

Su Xiaoming: "..."

He simply didn't know what to say.

The official career is one step at a time. Every step and every choice is very important. Once you make the wrong mistake, you will waste half your life... But Chen Jin is good, he looks like he is here to play.

But even if you want to play, you shouldn’t play in such a barbaric place where birds don’t shit.

Chen Jin knew that he couldn't say much about this kind of thing, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

Seeing his back, Su Xiaoming stamped his feet fiercely and said, "You are so confused!"

It's night, in the room.

Chen Jin and Su Jin's farewell was better than their wedding. They were about to have a good time together when Su Jin said, "Husband, I have you. It's been three months."

After hearing the news, Chen Jin was overjoyed. In a daze, he thought he was going to be a father.

It's just the first three months of pregnancy, so you can't do anything wrong, Su

But after Su Jin became pregnant, new problems arose.

In this special period, she could no longer follow him to Rakshasa Sea Continent. The journey was long and the journey was tiring, which was hard to bear.

Although Su Jin practiced martial arts and had a strong physical foundation, traveling far away was an adventure in itself.

If there is no other way, the only option is to let her stay in Zhongzhou to raise her baby with peace of mind.

"Husband, it's okay. I don't have to worry about eating and drinking at home, and there are people waiting on me. This is the safest way."

Su Jin is considerate and considerate.

Chen Jin said: "Then I will go over first and open up the situation. After settling down, I will find a way to take over."

The next day, he came to Gu Leyou and said, "Taoist priest, I want you to stay in Zhongzhou."

Gu Leyou asked: "Why?"

Chen Jin told Su Jin about her pregnancy: "I need a reliable person to stay in the city to help. It's most suitable for you to stay. You can also hang up the Izumo Temple sign in Zhongzhou. In addition, the affairs in Jiangzhou We can also catch them together and make more money.”

Gu Leyou scratched his face: "I'm just worried that I may not be able to control the situation by myself."

"The big beard stays, too."

"Ah, then aren't you going to Rakshasa Haizhou alone to take up your post?"

Chen Jin smiled: "Back then, didn't I walk out of Lingnan alone?"

Gu Leyou has no doubt about his strength. If Chen Jin can't handle something, then one or two more people to help may not be useful.

Chen Jin added: "What I am most concerned about now is Su Jin. Moreover, the situation in the Central Plains is not optimistic and may change, so I have to ask you two to stay in Zhongzhou. Even if something happens, there will always be someone Take care of.”

Gu Leyou asked Ma Shengshen: "Big Beard, what do you think?"

"I have no opinion."

Ma Shengshen's answer was simple and to the point.

Gu Leyou said: "Okay, the two of us will stay."

None of them are mother-in-law's people.

In the next two or three days, Chen Jin arranged various matters and was almost ready to set off.

The schedule for the appointment is very demanding and cannot be delayed.

Su Jin said: "Husband, there are many long-term followers in the house, all of them are reliable servants. You can pick a few and bring them with you."

"No need, I can go alone and have a horse."

"How can that be done? You are a new official taking office, not a knight wandering around the world."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Just think of me as a ranger wandering around the world this time."

Given his situation, bringing people along would be a burden and cause all kinds of trouble.In this case, it's better not to bring it.

Su Jin still couldn't figure it out: Which official in the world took office like this?

Chen Jin explained: "I chose to go to Luosha Haizhou because I wanted to find a place where I could fully express my ambitions without interference or control."

“But the world is so big, it’s not the land of the king.”

"Haha, you have to try some things before you can see the results."

Hearing this, Su Jin, who was ice-snowy and smart, felt a chill in her heart and thought of a lot.

But no matter what, as long as Chen Jin wants to do it, she will support it unconditionally.

……

A strong horse, a green shirt, and a long sword.

Chen Jin's attire looked no different from that of the knight-errant, and he looked very bachelor.He has a handsome face and looks like a young man who has run away from home.

Seeing him like this, the well-informed Gu Leyou couldn't help but sigh: "The scholar is going to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger again."

Ma Shengshen simply said two words: "Take care."

Su Jin stayed in the carriage as they were seeing each other off, playing the piano and singing. It was the song "Farewell" that she sang. Her female voice was a bit more graceful and touching than Chen Jin's version:

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, there are green grass and green sky..."

The current season is just right for the occasion.

"I'm leaving!"

After saying these three words, Chen Jin got on his horse, whipped his horse, and drove away.

In his heart, he has always had a dream of "walking to the end of the world with a sword" and taking a good look at this world.

It's just that with the troubles of the world, it's hard to be so cool.

Nowadays, I am alone, not without worries, but looking at the world, I have a sense of "walking my own way alone".

Happy this way!

...The Qian Dynasty had a vast territory and numerous state capitals. Among them, Rakshasa Sea Continent was the most special place.

First of all, it is an island, a big island. In terms of actual area, it is much larger than the state capitals of Jiangzhou and Zhongzhou;
Secondly, Rakshasa Haizhou is located in the southwest. It has been included in the Qian Dynasty block for a long time. However, due to various factors, it has not been developed for a long time. It is an out-and-out barbaric land.

The criminals and prisoners were exiled, half to the north, to Liangzhou, and the other half to the south, to Rakshasa Haizhou.

You can imagine what kind of place that is.

Rakshasa Sea Continent is not only desolate, but also the people are uneducated and filled with all kinds of ghosts and gods, and there are so many secular gods.

In this regard, it is even worse than Lingnan Border Wilderness.

In contrast, two major cities, Gaozhou and Huazhou, were established in Lingnan and were gradually developed.

But what about Raksha Haizhou?

There is a proverb that goes well: "I would rather be a Jiangnan official than a Rakshasa official."

To put it bluntly, being an official there is only slightly better than being exiled.

So when Su Xiaocheng and Su Xiaoming heard that Chen Jin actually chose to go to Raksha Haizhou to be the prefect, they both thought he was crazy.

The prefect is a senior official of the fourth rank, and his starting point is certainly high, but what does the rank mean when it goes overseas?
A term of office lasts at least five years.

How much could have happened in five years?
No one is sure.

How many five years are there in life?

Even though Chen Jin is in his prime, if he doesn't take the opportunity to start his career, he will grow old five years after five years.

The deal is done, Su Xiaocheng can no longer help Chen Jin, not only to avoid suspicion, but also to vent his anger.

You are responsible for the path you choose until the end, and you cannot blame others.

On the way to Raksha Haizhou, you have to pass through Yunzhou.

The ancestral home of Grandpa Qiu’s family.

I remember that my uncle Qiu Bugui led everyone back to Yunzhou from Lingnan.

But the specific address is unknown.

Three or four years passed, and there was no contact between the two parties.

On his uncle's side, Chen Jin didn't know where he was going; on his side, Chen Jin also had no fixed place to live.

How can I contact you in this situation?

The origins of the Qiu family are mysterious. Although the uncle told Chen Jin the whole story, it is difficult to tell clearly what the situation will be like when they return to Yunzhou.

Therefore, it may not be easy for Chen Jin to find his grandfather's uncle.

He hoped that after he was named on the gold list, his uncle and the others would take the initiative to find him after seeing the news.

The probability is higher.

But now Chen Jin has gone to Raksha Haizhou to serve as an official.

This appointment information is unknown to outsiders.

The fate of communication is another stagger.

Therefore, when passing through Yunzhou, Chen Jin decided to stay here for two or three days, asking around to see if he could get any information about the Qiu family.

As for the travel date, it is quite sufficient.He was traveling alone and very quickly.

Yunzhou Prefecture is an offshore city with developed transportation, dense population, strong commercial atmosphere and very lively atmosphere.

It is not easy for someone who is unfamiliar with the place to get information in such a capital city.

Moreover, when the uncle and the others come back, they may remain anonymous. They may not necessarily live in the city, but may also be in a county or town under its jurisdiction, or in the suburbs, etc., which makes it even harder to find them.

Therefore, after two days of searching, Chen Jin gave up the idea and concentrated on observing the city.

This is also a habit he has developed.

There are two major methods of visualization. To observe life is to see, recognize, and understand people; to observe the world is to see mountains, water, and cities and rural areas...

His knowledge is remarkable and he has extensive knowledge of others.

No matter how much you can see and how much you can think, it is all about understanding.

On the third day, Chen Jin left Yunzhou City and continued walking forward.

During this journey, he encountered many troubles: not because he caused trouble, but because others saw him alone and caused trouble.

Among them are robbers, bandits, shady shopkeepers, and evil spirits.

Chen Jin will not reject anyone who comes, he will beat those who deserve to be beaten, kill those who deserve to be killed, and destroy those who deserve to be destroyed...

I really experienced the thrill of being a hero.

After driving for more than ten days, we arrived at a small town called "Feiyu Port".

Here, we are already at the seaside. In the distance, we can even see the blue horizon, and the smell of the sea is floating in the air.

Chen Jin was riding on the horse and couldn't help but sniff it vigorously. He actually felt nostalgic.He dismounted and led the horse into the city.

To go to Rakshasa Island, you have to take a boat across the strait to get to the island.

For relevant information, just inquire after entering the city and you will get the result.

Although Rakshasa Island is isolated overseas, it is not isolated from the world. The island is actually quite rich in products, including fisheries.

Therefore, on weekdays, there will be merchant ships coming and going, doing business.

As Chen Jin, he could have reported to the government office in Feiyu Lane to recruit an official ship to go to sea, but he did not want to land on the island in an official way, so he chose to take a merchant ship.

"Runfeng Trading Company is here."

Chen Jin found the place, looked at the faded sign on the lintel, tied the horse, and stepped in.

"My son, what's the matter?"

A waiter came over to greet me. He was very discerning. Instead of calling him "guest officer", he called him "gongzi", which was obviously more pleasant to listen to.

Chen Jin said: "I want to go to the sea and take a boat to Rakshasa Island."

The boy looked him over and said, "Do you know the rules of the boat?"

"What's the rule? Can't you just buy a ticket and get on the ship?"

The boy smiled and explained: "Young Master is not a local, right?"

"No."

"Then why did you go to the island? From what I see, the young master doesn't look like he's doing business, or anything like that."

Chen Jin said: "I just heard that the scenery on the island is good, so I want to go there."

Guy: "...Actually, I understand everything. If you don't have a road quotation document, the fare will be doubled if you take my boat. That's the amount."

From what he said, he seemed to regard Chen Jin as a fugitive, and he seemed to be doing a lot of related business.

Chen Jin did not explain: "I also have a horse, and I want to get on the boat together."

"If you bring a horse, the price is different. This amount... If you think it's okay, you can pay immediately. There happens to be a ship going out to sea today. If you miss today, you will have to wait until the end of the month."

"Row."

Chen Jin didn't talk nonsense and just paid the money and got the ticket.

Half an hour later, he got on the boat.

The huge merchant ship lifted anchor and set sail, heading towards Rakshasa Sea Continent.

A normal voyage, if nothing unexpected happens, would take about a day and a night, which is not a short time.

Although the routes have been developed and fixed, accidents often occur in the sea areas along the way, so merchant ships are equipped with a certain amount of force.

After boarding the ship and placing the horses, Chen Jin moved into his small cabin and began to close his eyes and rest.

After messing around with dinner, he originally thought he could get some sleep and land on the island the next day.

Unexpectedly, after nightfall, there was a sudden strong wind on the sea, lightning and thunder, and the weather suddenly became extremely bad.

"The Dragon King is angry. Everyone, come out quickly and worship on the deck to show your sincerity."

The crew members of the trading company came over to inform everyone to leave the cabin and go out to participate in the ritual activities.

This festival is also called the "Poseidon Festival"!
