Jiaochu

After arriving at the door of the tent, Xiao Anzi stood outside and shouted. Zhao Ce's impatient voice came from inside, and he sounded like he was getting out of bed. "Who is it?!" Xiao Anzi replied, "The princess asked the servant to come over and see the prince. Are you up?" He added, "The princess is already up and having breakfast." Immediately, Zhao Ce's high-pitched voice came from inside, "I'm up too." Xiao Anzi said that he had cooked the noodles and would wait for a while. He sent it over, Zhao Ce responded, and Xiao Anzi left first.

When Zhao Ce hurriedly opened the curtain and came out, two Long Shadow Guards came over to tear down the tent. Zhao Ce said that he hadn't eaten yet, but the two Long Shadow Guards ignored him. Then Yan Fei came over and said, "It's already dawn, Prince, don't wait to leave." He raised his hand to signal, and a dragon shadow guard led Zhao Ce's horse over. This dragon shadow guard left He made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Ce in the past, and felt a sense of oppression. Zhao Ce took two steps back, looking defensive, and quickly looked back to prevent someone from attacking him from behind and knocking him out.

Then Xiao Anzi came over with a bowl of noodles. Zhao Ce said he was hungry, picked up the noodles and started eating. He was no longer picky about food like yesterday.

"Your Majesty, let's go on our way after eating." Yan Fei said.

Zhao Ce: "..., do you know how to speak? If you can't speak, don't say anything. You are the only one who wants to go on the road."

At this time, Su Shi came over and tried to persuade Zhao Ce, but Zhao Ce refused to let go and insisted not to go back. Yan Fei said, "Would you like to ride a horse by yourself or put it in a sack? Choose one. It's getting late. I'll give it a try." The number is ten," Zhao Ce said sternly, "It's useless for you to count a hundred. I won't go back if I don't go back." After hearing Yan Fei count to seven, Zhao Ce was still holding on, but his heart was already broken. He was a little nervous, "Five, four, three," when there were still two counts left, the muscles on Zhao Ce's face tensed up, "Two," Yan Fei's eyes glanced over, and Zhao Ce's heart skipped a beat and he shouted. ,"Princess!"

Then Lingdang opened the curtain and came out, saying, "Your Majesty, please go back. If you don't go back, the princess will be really angry."

Zhao Ce grumbled and got on the horse, feeling that Yan Fei had stabbed him countless times. He turned around and walked away, escorted by a dragon shadow guard behind him.

Ye Lingxi got into the carriage with He He and Bell, Su Shi was on the back carriage, Yan Fei rode in front, Xiao Anzi also followed on horseback beside the carriage, and the Long Shadow Guards accompanied the carriage at the front, back and left.

At almost noon, the Long Shadow Guard who escorted Zhao Ce back came back.

Ye Lingxi asked if it had been delivered, and Long Shadow Guard replied that it had been delivered.

After walking on the road for three or four days, the group turned to the waterway from the dock. The waterway could lead directly to the border of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was much faster than carriages and horses.

The big ship set sail and sailed smoothly. It took only one morning to leave Yuzhou. The water was vast and shimmering in the sun. The ship's side quickly cut through the water, splashing up strings of white water foam, like pearls. , extending all the way to the back of the stern, and soon disappeared again.

Ye Lingxi stood on the deck, with a gauze belt tied around her eyes, feeling the cool sea breeze blowing on her face, with the unique salty smell of sea water. It was strange to say that she had never been to the sea before, but The smell of the sea breeze and the sound of the waves felt very familiar. This familiarity also carried an indescribable sadness. She didn't know why this senseless sadness came from. The sound of the waves coming from far to near was like an eternal song. Mysterious songs tell the secrets hidden deep under the sea...

"Axue, it's time to wake up." The voice rang in her mind again. She covered her ears, and something came into her mind again. This time she saw a face, flashing by, and she had a headache. She didn't know that she was walking towards the edge of the deck. A hand pulled her back. Someone was calling her, but she couldn't hear it clearly. The voice gradually became clearer. She heard it was Yanfei's voice. Yanfei asked her where she was. It was comfortable. Was it seasick? She said she had a headache. Yanfei picked her up and went back to the cabin to rest. Hehe and Lingdang hurriedly followed.

Hearing that Ye Lingxi was unwell, Su Shi also came over, and then Xiao Anzi brought Bai Hu over.

In addition to Aunt Qiu and Xiao Anzi, Bai Hu is also traveling this time. After all, the journey is far away and it is still at sea. There is no doctor around, so if you are sick, you can't find anyone to treat you.

After Baihu checked Ye Lingxi's pulse, he said that there was nothing serious. It was just that he was a little nervous due to the fatigue of traveling these past few days. He had to rest for two days and everything would be fine. Baihu also told Hehe, Lingdang and Xiao Anzi about some dietary issues. precautions.

Yanfei helped Ye Lingxi sit up, poured her a glass of water, and told her to have a good rest and not to go to the deck to blow the cold wind for the next two days.

For lunch, Xiao Anzi prepared three dishes, one soup, and light and appetizing side dishes. Ye Lingxi asked Hehe, Lingdang, and Xiao Anzi to eat them together to avoid waste.

Here, Su Shi and Yan Fei were eating together. The two talked about the upcoming voyage. The food on the ship was sufficient and could last for more than ten days, enough to reach the next port. After that, there would be no ports to dock to replenish supplies. According to With the current ship speed, the arrival time at the next port should be in the evening. Yanfei planned to rest there for one night, purchase supplies the next morning, and set off in the afternoon. Su Shi had no objection.

After finishing the meal, Yan Fei visited various places, visited Ye Lingxi for a while, and then went back to his room to study the navigation route map.

At night, the moonlight shines into the window. Ye Lingxi turns her head to look out the window. She raises her hand to pull away the gauze tied around her eyes, and slowly opens her eyes. The moonlight shines on the sea, rising and falling slowly with the waves... She lies on the window While looking at the deep blue sea under the moonlight, something seemed to be attracting and calling her in the deep blue depths. The sound of the slowly rising waves also turned into a magical and mysterious song, which attracted her. She falls asleep...

While half asleep, she heard someone calling her. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt extremely heavy and she couldn't open them. It seemed like something was dragging her consciousness into a bottomless whirlpool. She struggled. She was about to open her eyes and used all her strength to bring her consciousness back. When she suddenly opened her eyes, Hehe and Lingdang were startled. They asked her what was wrong and whether she had a nightmare. He shook his head slowly and said it was okay. It might be the first time he took a boat so he was a little unaccustomed to it. He then asked the two of them if they were okay and if they felt uncomfortable in any way. Both of them shook their heads.

Hehe said that Lingdang also ran outside to take a look. Lingdang said that she saw Yanfei and Su Shi playing chess on the deck and said that the moon was so bright that they didn't even need to light a lamp.

Ye Lingxi said to go take a look, Hehe brought a cloak to put on her, and Lingdang brought food, ready to watch chess and eat at the same time.
