Chapter 406

The old man's clothes are thin, Fengzhou is close to the sea, the winter is warm and the summer is cool, he wanted to go all the way to Beijing, but he didn't expect that the capital would be so cold, the jacket on his body was torn, and he only had a thin jacket, which was exposed during the day. No, now he is trembling all over, his lips are blue and purple, and he looks like he is about to freeze.

The old man shook his head quickly: "It's neither cold nor cold."

Looking at his trembling mouth, Tang Nineteen felt pity in his heart, and stretched out his hand to untie his cloak.

Before it was untied, it was held down by someone's hand.

"Dress."

After finishing speaking, he condescended, took off his black cloak, and put it on the old man's shoulders.

The old man was terrified, Qu Tiange turned around lightly: "Put it on, let's go."

The old man panicked, Tang Nineteen comforted him with a light smile: "My lord, his face is cold and his heart is hot, you can wear it at ease, go, follow me back to Prince Qin's mansion."

The hot meal was served, and the old man was hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks gratefully and gorged himself.

Bi Tao was dumbfounded while watching: "Miss, who is he? Dirty, the beggar you picked up?"

Hearing the word beggar, the old man paused.

Tang Nineteen took a look at Bi Tao: "Shut up. ——Old man, are you full?"

"I'm full, I'm full, thank you prince, thank you princess."

He knelt down again as he spoke.

Human feelings are cold and warm, two tears filled his eyes, he couldn't hold back, and fell down patter.

"Get up and talk."

"Yes, princess."

"Tell me what happened."

"The villain's home is in Haiping Village, Zhimao County, Fengzhou. The people in our whole village live by fishing. Last autumn, a group of officials suddenly came, and they went to the village to catch young men. We thought we were going to fight. Yes, I found out later that people are going to be arrested to enter Sea Emperor Island. It is impossible to go to that place, the place is thick and hazy, with whirlpools and hidden reefs everywhere, and no one who has been there has returned.”

When the old man said this, he broke down in tears: "But it was the government's order. My two sons, a grandson who had just grown up, were both taken away. On the ninth day of September, no matter how much we begged, the government forcibly took them out to sea. This time, I never came back again. Wuwu, wuwuwu..."

The old man cried sadly, Tang Nineteen looked at Qu Tiange: "Is there any treasure on Haihuang Island? Is this an order from the court?"

Qu Tiange got up and went into the study, took out a geography book after a while, and opened one of the pages: "This is Haihuang Island. Hundreds of years ago, Haihuang Island was a place where pirates gathered. A large amount of gold, silver and jewels are hoarded in Haihuang Island, and it is said that these jewels are comparable to the abundance of the national treasury.”

"It turned out that it was the money that made the mistake. It was just that I was able to get in back then, why can't I get in now?"

"For hundreds of years, there have been several undersea earthquakes near Neptune Island, which has formed the current terrain where there are many hidden reefs, and it is difficult to enter and exit. In addition, the vicinity of Neptune Island has been surrounded by dense fog all year round, and there are many whirlpools. It’s not easy to find the right way in.”

Li Zhuzi didn't expect Qu Tiange to know so much about Neptune Island, and he wiped away his tears and nodded frequently: "I heard from my ancestors that the reason why the pirates chose Neptune Island as their treasure trove was because of its special terrain and numerous whirlpools." , and the direction of the vortex is not fixed, it is the safest place to hide treasure and hide. But then a submarine earthquake made that place full of hidden reefs, making it completely impossible for the pirates trapped on the island to get out , the pirates outside can’t get in, these hundreds of years, how many people have been greedy for the wealth of Sea Emperor Island, but how many people have lost their lives because of it.”
