Emperor Jin

Chapter 100 The Fisherman

Baojin looked at his back as he left in arrogance, reflecting the white waves in the sky, and couldn't help being dazed.

Her sleeves fluttered in the wind, and her slender figure seemed to rise up with the wind and dance straight for nine days.

This unparalleled demeanor attracted all the soldiers on the side of the warship to peek at——

This expedition, the emperor only brought her to accompany him, which really made many people speculate and discuss.

She ignored all kinds of gazes and walked into her own room in the cabin.

After half a moment, the agreed knock on the door sounded.

Ji Xin went to answer the door, but she didn't open it. She just looked at the door vigilantly and said, "Who is it?"

The little eunuch's sharp voice sounded in front of the door, "I'm from the dining room, I have something to ask the girl."

The door was opened, and amidst the sound of the waves, the little eunuch's shrill voice could almost penetrate the ship's wall, "I heard that the chrysanthemum fish cooked by the girl is a must. Now the meals on the ship are kept simple, so I would like to ask for advice on how to make it."

"What's so difficult about it, I'll just write it to you."

Baojin's voice was crisp and hearty, and she gestured to write, but asked in a low voice, "How is the situation in Nantang?"

The little eunuch's lips moved slightly, and he took out a secret document from his sleeve, "This is from our people in Chenlou."

Bao Jin nodded slightly, wrote a random recipe, asked Ji Xin to send him out, and then opened the letter. After reading it carefully, she raised her head and showed a smile of wisdom, "The long-disappeared Celestial Navy... It finally showed up."

She watched the secret letter being gradually engulfed by the flames, and then murmured: "These are the invincible sailors forged by me in the dynasty. The pillars of the country in the future cannot be destroyed together by the people of Nantang!"

She remembered the scene of the stalemate with the emperor just now, and then her smile deepened, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with throwing a whip to cut off the current - in today's Jiangnan, there is no such peerless figure as Xie An, so why is it difficult to destroy it?"

The emperor's anger did not subside until evening.

Baojin is on duty tonight, and now he is away on an expedition, everything is kept simple, and he is in the main cabin of the emperor's study, only to see the curtains hanging down, the emperor is reviewing the memorial, seeing her coming, he did not lift his head, just said: "If I'm Fu Jian and the like, do you want to compare yourself to Princess Qinghe? It's a pity that there is a Phoenix Emperor missing, and I'm not a man."

Bao Jin just approached, hearing this almost angry words, couldn't help but thud, and leaned against the door with a smile.

Although she smiled happily, boundless waves were already startled in her heart!
The so-called Princess Qinghe is the daughter of the Murong family of Xianbei who was conquered by Fu Jian. Together with her younger brother Fenghuang, she was accepted by Fu Jian as a personal favorite. There is a popular ridicule of "one female and one male, both fly into the purple palace". He endured hardships and tasted courage, and finally rebelled after the Battle of Feishui and established himself as emperor.

Listening to this seemingly inadvertent sentence, Bao Jin knew that the emperor was retaliating and teasing her, but she was so shocked that she was about to shed cold sweat. She suppressed the trembling all over her body, and smiled so brightly that her eyes were shining, and her beautiful complexion was amazing for a moment.

"Your majesty really killed me. The Murong family siblings are gentle and good at work. There are tens of thousands of healthy children in the family. They can be said to be centipedes. They die and then become stiff. How can I compare with them when I am a subjugated and weak girl?"

"I'm not as ambitious and talented as Fu Jian, so I'll give you a sneer, so I can't beat the Yangtze River."

The emperor was half annoyed, half angry.

Bao Jin approached slowly, flattened the rice paper for him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, forgive me for my reckless remarks today, in fact, I have a hidden worry..."

"Ok?"

The emperor was about to write again, when he heard her faint sentence, he raised his head in a strange way, and saw her face was full of color, so he said: "What do you have to say, just say it straight, why hesitate?"

"Yes... I'm worried. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty was relentless in martial arts, it was difficult to defeat our army's bravery, but it was not a weak force that would be defeated in one blow. Now that they are quietly guarding as usual, I am afraid there is some mystery in it."

"You were worried about this!"

Only then did the emperor understand what she had mentioned about "throwing the whip to stop the flow" during the day, and thought to himself that although her words were harsh, she really implied concern, so most of her anger subsided, and said with a gentle smile: "Don't worry, I'm not that arrogant People, have sent scouts to investigate, and will not underestimate the enemy."

"It's also my worry for nothing."

Bao Jin glanced at him, and sighed with a half-smile: "I'm really offended by my indiscriminate words today, I'm sorry!"

She prostrated herself gracefully, and without waiting for the emperor to help her, she got up and left.

Behind him, only one sentence was left, "You still have to be more careful."

The emperor listened to this hesitant sentence, appreciating the affection in it, and couldn't help showing a doting smile.

Without turning around, Baojin guessed that he must be extremely happy. She lightly lifted the hem of her skirt and walked across the deck with towering waves, all the way——

The battle is about to start, so let you and Nan Tang, brother and sister, kill you to the death!

She thought that she would make a fortune with this magic, but she was not at all happy, and the emperor's earnest and affectionate eyes appeared in front of her eyes.

what's wrong with me? !

Jinling was besieged on three sides, and it seemed that it was difficult to fly.

Just as the emperor's valiant generals came out one after another, swearing to smash the Tang Kingdom, at dawn the next day, there was a shocking thunderbolt!
"What? The three-way navy lost?!"

Following the exclamation of the attendants, the emperor stood up from the cabin with his clothes on, and his expression was quite solemn.

After he listened carefully to the report, he raised his sword eyebrows and said angrily in disbelief: "Aren't you joking?! A strange soldier was killed out of nowhere, criss-crossing the river like entering no one's land—there is nothing in the world. And such absurd things?"

He suddenly remembered Bao Jin's words, "I'm afraid there is something mysterious", and his heart sank, knowing that she had expected it by misfortune, so he became even more irritable.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Return the boat and return to the formation first, and then make a discussion after resting."

****
Outside the city of Jinling, there was a lot of terror, but in the palace thousands of miles away, it was also quiet and lonely, with no interest in life.

The emperor's departure took away the enthusiasm of all the women in the harem, even Fang Wanqing, who had always loved to dress up, was just lazy these few days and couldn't get excited.

The early spring was sweaty, rainy and snowy, and no one wanted to go out. The silence was finally broken by a murder!
