The shouting hovered over the coast for a long time, until the fishing boat sailed several miles facing the rising sun and became a few star points in the sea, the shouting gradually stopped.

……

Far away from the coast, the fishing boat raised its sails, and Xie Wuyi stood on the deck with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance.

Seabirds hovered in the sky, the sea breeze raised his hair, and the hem of his clothes fluttered. The waves slapped the hull, splashing water from time to time, and the little drops of water splashed on his cheeks. It makes people feel a little cool.

A person walked behind him, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness."

Xie Wuyi turned his head and saw that the person who came was Wei Shaoyu, his father's relative, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shaoyu said: "It's not too far from the shore here, so there shouldn't be much to see. Your Highness stayed up all night yesterday. There are fishermen's bedrooms in the cabin. They were packed last night. Your Highness might as well go take a nap first."

Xie Wuyi thought about it, if he really encountered danger later, and it would be inconvenient to deal with it in a tired state, he might as well recharge his energy first, and agreed: "Okay."

Xie Wu moved to the middle of the deck, Shaoyu said again: "After going down, the first room on the right is."

Xie Wuyi nodded and went down the wooden ladder.

After going down to the cabin, he closed his eyes first. There was no sunlight in the cabin, and it was very dark. Although there were oil lamps hanging on the two walls, it was not enough. He closed his eyes for a while to get used to it, and then opened them again.

The cabin is not big, except for the water tanks where fishermen used to store the fish and shrimp they caught when fishing in the past, the remaining rooms are all small rooms for resting or storing fresh water, food, and sundries.

There are portholes in the small rooms on both sides of the ship's side, which can be ventilated and relatively bright, and are generally used as bedrooms.

Xie Wuzhi walked to the room on the right, pushed open the wooden door, and the narrow room was unobstructed.

Because of the portholes, it was daytime again at this time, the sun slanted in from the portholes, and the fine dust floated in the light beams.

The ground near the porthole is covered with a thick animal skin, on which there is a small table with all the cups and cups, and on the inner side is an exquisite bamboo couch. The bedding is laid out and it looks like it was brought out of the palace.

Without thinking too much, Xie Wuyi knew that this must be the meaning of the queen mother. He went to sea to "get rid of the sea monsters", but his mother decorated the small room as if he was going to go out to sea for fun. Let's not say for now In addition, just look at the gold thread pillow on the bedside, on the pillow there are...

Ok?

What is that... on the pillow?

As the ship swayed, the ball of cotton-like thing on the pillow rolled back and forth, and kept making "chee-chee-chee-chi-chi" sounds.

Xie Wuyi squinted his eyes, turned around and shouted, "Shaoyu!"

The sound of hasty footsteps came from the deck, and Shaoyu quickly went down the stairs and walked behind him, saying, "Your Highness?"

Xie Wuyi raised his chin towards the room.

Shaoyu was confused, took two steps forward to the door, stretched his head to look into the room, saw the chick on the bed, he was also stunned: "This..."

Xie Wuyi turned his head to look at him, and waited for him to explain, Shaoyu looked at the chick, blinked and murmured: "No, those cages should all be in the back cabin, why are they here..."

Xie Wuyi frowned in confusion: "What cages?"

Shaoyu looked back at Xie Wuyi, scratched her cheeks and said with a sneer, "Last night, the Empress told Her Majesty that she wanted to bring some cattle and sheep to His Highness. His Majesty said that the cattle and sheep were too heavy and took up space. His Highness definitely disagreed, but Your Majesty We were worried about the meals at sea, so we asked us to bring a few cages of black-bone chickens to the boat, saying it was for His Royal Highness to make soup..."

Xie Wuyi closed his eyes and pinched the center of his brows. After a long silence, he sighed helplessly and said, "Even if you want to make soup, you don't even need to bring the chickens and grandchildren with you. Is this planning to take root in the sea?"

"No!" Shaoyu immediately denied, "My mother asked me to bring old chickens, the kind that are most suitable for stewing soup!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the chick, feeling a little guilty, and hesitantly said, "It's possible... which hen has... just an egg in its belly?"

"And then?" Xie Wuyi said indifferently, "The hen ran out of the cage and entered the room, laid an egg on the bed, and it hatched, right?"

Shaoyu licked her lips, blinked her eyes and smiled awkwardly, but still stared at him without changing her opinion, immediately suppressed her smile, and said solemnly: "It's okay, Your Highness, old chickens eat like old chickens, and young chickens eat like small chickens." As for the way to eat chicken, when I was young, I was very good at roasting tits, so I will go and roast this chicken for His Royal Highness to try."

After saying that, he walked towards the chick.

Just as Xie Wuyi was about to make a sound to stop it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of cloth floating outside the porthole.

He fixed his eyes on the porthole, was stunned for a moment, and called out, "Shaoyu."

Shaoyu turned her head: "Huh?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Don't worry about it, go get busy."

Shaoyu was taken aback, pointing to the chick: "What about it?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Leave it alone."

Shaoyu didn't understand what he meant, but she still answered "Oh" honestly, and after leaving, she went back to the deck along the wooden ladder.

Xie Wuyi waited for the footsteps to go away, walked into the room, closed the wooden door, looked at the porthole and said, "Come out."

There was no movement outside the window.

Xie Wuzhi went to the bamboo couch, grabbed the chick, sat on the animal skin by the porthole, stretched his hand out of the window, and said, "Three, two..."

As soon as "Yi" came out, the fist stretched out of the window was firmly held by one hand, and a voice chuckled softly: "Hey, don't be so impulsive."

Shui Jing leaped into the window, landed beside Xie Wuyi, and said with a smile, "Look at you, every time we meet, you either draw your sword or threaten you. How can you be a prince?"

Shui Jing was wearing a coarse linen garment bought from a fisherman at this time. Although the clothes were simple, his handsome appearance did not diminish in the slightest.

He was carrying another piece of clothes in his hand, which was the style he was used to wearing just changed this morning. It was just this piece of clothing that was blown by the wind and fluttered by the porthole, and Xie Wuyi realized that there was something different outside the window.

The clothes Shui Jing wore during the first two appearances were very special. The color of the clothes changed from white to blue, from blue to blue, like a waterfall hanging from the clouds and pouring into the deep sea. Xie Wuyi was deeply impressed by this, so just now Seeing the cloth material, I already had a guess in my heart.

Xie Wuyi sat by the desk and looked up at him, but didn't speak, and suddenly said after a while, "Do you know who you look like?"

Shui Jing was stunned, and suddenly remembered that last time at the top of Wangming Pagoda, he heard him say to Shi Jiu, "I met a person who looks very similar to you", he knew it in his heart, but he still asked knowingly, "Who is it?"

Xie Wuyi said: "The gentleman on the beam."

"..."

Shui Jing choked for a moment, and then he really compared himself with Liang Shangjun in his heart.

Liang Shangjun's whereabouts are secretive, and so is he.

The gentleman on Liang Shang is elusive, and so is he.

The gentleman on the beam flies over the eaves and walks on the wall, and so does he.

The gentleman on the beam climbed the tree and turned the window, so did he.

The gentleman on the beam went to the house to uncover the tiles, and he... did the same.

After comparing for a long time, Shui Jing had to admit that most of the time his behavior was indeed almost the same as that of Liang Shangjun.

However, he didn't care, raised his eyebrows, sat down opposite Xie Wuyi as if nothing had happened, lowered his head and poured himself a cup of tea, then raised his head and said: "It is indeed similar, but it is still slightly different."

Xie Wuyi looked at him, waiting to hear him defend himself.

Shui Jing picked up the teacup, smiled and said, "I'm better than them."

Xie Wuyi was speechless. As a person who had not gained the upper hand in the two fights, he thought he could not refute these words.

He decided not to continue this topic, lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup and took a sip, put the chick on the case, and said, "What do you mean?"

Shui Jing said disapprovingly, "What else could it mean? I'll give it to you."

Xie Wuyi said: "Why?"

Shui Jing said indifferently: "What's the reason? If you want to give it away, you can give it away. If you don't want it, I will give it to someone else."

"Oh," Xie Wuyi looked down at the chick, then raised his eyes after a while and said, "Then I don't want it."

Shui Jing never expected that he would reject him outright, and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xie Wuyi retorted: "What's the reason? If you don't want it, then don't want it. Anyway, it's not for me, you just give it to someone else."

"Hey?" Shui Jing was annoyed and funny, "You are really a person who always pays for every penny?"

Xie Wuyi looked at him noncommittally.

Shui Jing poked the chick's head and said, "Do you know what you rejected?"

Xie Wuyi lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea in his spare time, put down the teacup and raised his eyes and said, "Haitongqing?"

Caught off guard when the answer was revealed, Shui Jing blinked, looked at the chick, and dared not answer: "How did you see it?"

Xie Wuyi seemed to want to laugh a little. Although he suppressed the corners of his mouth, he couldn't hold back the smile overflowing from his eyes, and asked instead, "Do you know the national teacher?"

Shui Jing suddenly felt betrayed, and squinted his eyes: "He told you?"

Xie Wuyi shook his head: "That's not true."

Shui Jing frowned and said, "Then why do you know?"

Xie Wuyi took a deep breath and said, "After returning to the palace last night, the national teacher asked me three questions."

Shui Jing raised her eyebrows and waited for the next article.

Xie Wuyi said: "He first asked me, has anyone been looking for me recently, I said a lot, then he asked again, did someone give me something, I said no."

Shui Jing had a premonition that the focus must be on the third question, and hurriedly asked: "And then?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Finally, he asked me if I knew the difference between Haidongqing and Wuji."

"..." Shui Jing was speechless, thinking that Shi Jiu seemed to be too busy to panic.

However, before Xie Wuyi finished speaking, he chuckled lightly and said with a bit of self-mockery: "I thought that the national teacher suddenly asked me these three questions must have a deep meaning. After returning to the bedroom, I thought about it all night. .”

"I think the first question is asking me if someone has asked me to do things for me recently, reminding me not to pervert the law for personal gain. The second question is asking me if someone gives gifts, which is to remind me not to be greedy for money. , accepting bribes. The third question is the simplest and the most difficult. Haidongqing and Wuji are so far apart, why do you need to look for the difference between the two? So, after thinking for a long time, I barely figured out a possibility. Tell me cryptically—poultry knows the aspirations of the eagle.”

Shui Jing was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and laughed wildly, her whole body trembling from the laughter, she clapped her hands while laughing and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Xie Wuyi also lowered his head and laughed, shaking his head helplessly while laughing and said: "I really thought it was a black-bone chicken, but you asked me if I knew what I rejected. Then I suddenly remembered the question of the national teacher and boldly guessed. I asked Hai Dongqing, and after you confirmed it, I just woke up like a dream, and it turned out that the three questions of the national teacher were really just casually asked."

The first two times when Shui Jing saw Jie Wuyi, he had just been reprimanded by his father, one time for the reform, and the other time for the Sang Kingdom to ask for help.

At that time, Xie Wuyi's whole body was full of solemnity, and his brows were full of worry, which made people feel inviolable and difficult to approach.

But at this time, he lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, showing a bit of shame on his face because he had misinterpreted the meaning of the national teacher. He was no longer as tight as the previous two times, but a little more youthful The youthfulness and naivety made the whole person bright and lively.

Shui Jing finally had enough of laughing, took a breath and said: "After I go back, I will definitely help you warn him, don't ask random questions in the future."

Xie Wuyi shook his head and said: "No wonder the national teacher, I have too much heart."

Shui Jing thought to herself: She is really careless.But then I thought about it again, which country's prince is not like this?Even Yun and Yunrong, the two seven or eight-year-old children, are not uncommon, let alone Xie Wuyi's age.

He didn't want to continue to delve into this question, looked at the chick, raised his head and asked, "Do you want to know where it came from?"

Xie Wuyi thought for a while and guessed, "Baihe?"
