Shaoyu didn't hold back at all, and said bluntly: "You don't need to try again, your skills are far above mine, I am willing to bow down."

Shui Jing thought to himself, this person has a good temperament, he can see the difference, and he doesn't get frustrated and stalked because he is at a disadvantage, which is very good.

Shaoyu took a step forward, clasped her fists and said, "I have offended you a lot before, and now I apologize to you. After all, it is about the safety of His Royal Highness, so I have to worry too much, and hope Haihan."

After receiving this gift, Shui Jing was a little dumbfounded, and said: "You just tried a few tricks with me, tried my skills, but didn't try my way, so you dare to help me clear the suspicion gone?"

Shaoyu nodded confidently, and said: "With your skill, if you really want to harm His Highness, you don't need to pretend to me, you can just shoot, I don't think I can stop you."

Shui Jing smiled when he heard the words, there was a reason for this.

Shao Yu took a look at the fishermen, everyone didn't dare to watch the excitement any more, they all turned around and got busy with their own business.

Shaoyu withdrew her gaze, changed her previous serious and vigilant attitude, walked to Shui Jing, put his shoulders on his shoulders and carried him to the side of the boat, and asked as she walked, "Brother, how long have you been practicing martial arts?"

Shui Jing has never hooked his shoulders with anyone before, feeling very uncomfortable, he raised his shoulders and pushed Shao Yu's hand on his shoulders down, and replied casually: "It's been a long time."

Shaoyu was not annoyed either, she withdrew her hand with a smile, placed it on the hilt of her sword, and said, "I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and it has been 20 years now. Call me such a helpless person."

Shui Jingxin said, there are so many things you didn't expect. You have practiced for 20 years, and I have practiced for more than 1000 years. If I can't beat you, I will be a ghost.

Shaoyu looked around, leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Your Highness hid you on the boat disguised as a fisherman, so that you can help us get rid of sea monsters, right?"

Shui Jing squinted his eyes, not quite understanding the logic of his words, not to mention that he was not brought by Jie Wuyi, even if he was, the prince wanted to take someone out to sea to help, why should he hide it?

Shaoyu seemed to be convinced of this and did not need his response, and continued: "Let me just say, in the past, His Majesty wanted to assign personal guards to His Highness several times, but His Highness always said that it was not necessary. No wonder, with a master like you around , why does His Highness need a personal bodyguard? But you are also very good, as His Highness's personal bodyguard, you have not been discovered for so many years, come and go without a trace, you hide very deeply!"

Shui Jing smiled without saying a word, quietly listening to him talking to himself, listening to him transforming himself from a master pretending to be a fisherman to Xie Wuyi's personal bodyguard, and then to a shadowy bodyguard who follows everywhere.

Seeing that he was silent, Shaoyu thought he was steady and deep-spoken, patted his shoulder and said: "The future is boundless, the future is boundless."

Perhaps because there is no other entertainment at sea, Shaoyu seems to be very idle, except for occasional fishermen at the helm asking to confirm the sailing direction, the rest of the time is chattering beside Shui Jing.

He talked about his experience of practicing martial arts in his childhood very vigorously, and added all kinds of experiences after entering the palace, and he talked all afternoon.

Shui Jing didn't say much, but he didn't think he was too noisy. When he heard interesting rumors, he secretly wrote them down and planned to write them in his booklet.

In the evening, dinner was ready, Shui Jing said that the prince was too tired and might sleep until tomorrow morning, Shaoyu had already regarded him as the prince's confidant, so she didn't bother him when she heard what he said, and invited everyone to have dinner, each back to the room.

……

After nightfall, the sea gradually cooled, no one moved around on the deck, and there were no seabirds circling in the sky. Except for the sound of wind and waves, there was silence.

With a bright moon in the sky and a sky full of stars, Shui Jing sat on the floor on the deck, taking advantage of the moonlight to write and draw in his booklet, and recorded the interesting experiences he had heard from Shaoyu in the afternoon.

After finishing writing, he let the wet ink dry against the sea breeze for a while, then closed the booklet and put it in his arms.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly thought of the phrase "the moon is born on the sea, and the sky is at this time together", and he thought of "the moon is bright tonight, everyone can look forward to it, and I don't know whose house will fall in autumn", he couldn't help laughing and sighing in his heart, the world is passionate, clearly Feng Huaxueyue had no intention of it, but they insisted on asking them to borrow it to express their thoughts and freehand thoughts, and they were dyed with bitterness and sorrow for no reason.

Just as Shui Jing was thinking, he suddenly heard slight footsteps behind him. The sound seemed to be deliberately lowered. If it wasn't for his excellent hearing, he might not have heard it under the interference of the sound of the wind and waves.

Shui Jing didn't turn her head back, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness woke up?"

Xie Wuyi paused: "Did you hear that?"

Shui Jing smiled lightly and said, "As a gentleman on the beam, how do you deal with poor hearing? Wouldn't it be easy to be caught when stealing?"

Xie Wuyi listened to what he said, as if it was true, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, walked up to him and sat down beside him, saying: "Even if you hear footsteps, why can you guess it's me?" ?”

Shui Jing glanced at him and said: "Ordinary people walk, even if they want to walk lightly, they will be unable to control their bodies because of their bulkiness. Only those who practice martial arts can barely retract their steps. This boat can lighten their steps so much. For the sake of it, besides me, there are only you and Shaoyu. But if it is Shaoyu, I am afraid I will hear his voice before I hear the footsteps."

Xie Wuyi didn't know why he suddenly teased Shaoyu, thinking that Shaoyu had questioned him because of his unknown identity, and said, "Has Shaoyu made things difficult for you?"

Shui Jing exaggerated: "It's not just embarrassing, he even fought with me."

Xie Wuyi frowned: "And then?"

Shui Jing said: "Never hit me."

Xie Wuyi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Then according to his temperament, he should be convinced by you?"

"Isn't it?" Shui Jing said, "Talked with me all afternoon, insisting that I was your personal bodyguard that you hid and tucked into the boat."

Xie Wuyi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly.

Shui Jing tilted her head and said, "By the way, are you hungry? Shaoyu said that she left some food for you and warmed it on the stove."

"No," Xie Wuyi said, "I went to sleep after eating at noon. I haven't digested my food yet, so I came out for a walk."

Shui Jing joked: "Then you are still sitting? Can't you stand if you want to digest?"

Xie Wuyi was stunned, Shui Jing thought he was going to retort, but unexpectedly he nodded and said, "That makes sense."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, took a few steps forward, stood on the bow of the boat facing the sea breeze, and looked up at the night sky.

The moon is shining, and the night wind is blowing.

Shui Jing looked at his slender back with his hands behind his back and the black hair flying behind him, listened to the sound of the wind blowing his clothes, and watched the moonlight cast his shadow under his feet, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little lonely The coldness and solitude that stood so close to each other made one unable to bear to let him be alone.

Can't bear it?

Shui Jing smiled self-deprecatingly, this word is too hypocritical.

Although it was hypocritical, he still obeyed his will and stood up, and walked a few steps to Wuyi's side.

Xie Wuyi turned his head slightly: "Why, are you digesting too?"

Shui Jing smiled but said nothing, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Xie Wuyi didn't ask any more questions, and continued to look at the night sky.

After watching for a long time, he saw a thin cloud floating in front of the moon, covering the bright moon halfway. He was startled, moved his eyes from the night sky to the sea, and murmured: "The Milky Way leads the way and the moon is the hill. This is exactly what I said. Bar."

Shui Jing wrote the song "Return Period", so naturally he also remembered this sentence in the lyrics.

He looked at the sea, and saw the Milky Way reflected on the sea, like a bright long road leading forward, and the half-covered full moon reflected in the water, like a hill at the end of the long road.

This scene is quiet and beautiful, making people reluctant to take their eyes off.

Shui Jing couldn't help feeling emotional: "I thought the lyrics and the legend were all fabricated. I didn't expect that there would be such a Tianhe leading the way on the sea, and the half-moon is the scenery of the hills."

Xie Wuyi was silent for a moment, seemed to sigh slightly, and said softly: "Unfortunately, the Milky Way leading the way appeared, and the people who were supposed to follow the way back did not come back."

Shui Jing knew that he was thinking of the mother and son last night, and of those fishermen who disappeared at sea, so he was touched by the scene.

Every time he talked about political affairs and the common people, Xie Wuyi would suddenly become deep and dignified, without a trace of the willful and frivolous youth that should be, like a spring grass that is dedicated to the sun has been covered with frost.

Last time at the top of the Wangming Pagoda, Xie Wuyi once said that he put his love on the coast of the South China Sea, and loved his homeland and country.At that time, Shui Jing realized that he had a feeling for the land of Yu State and the people on this land that Shui Jing could not empathize with.

Maybe it's responsibility, maybe it's nostalgia, or maybe it's an emotion that other water mirrors can't understand.

If you can't empathize, you don't know how to comfort yourself.

Shui Jing looked at the sea quietly, and after a while he found a slightly less abrupt word, and asked, "What do you want to do when you go out to sea this time?"

Xie Wuyi seemed a little surprised, he tilted his head and said, "You don't know?"

Shui Jing glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It's not really for getting rid of some sea monsters, is it?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Exactly."

Shui Jing couldn't believe it, and said, "Do you really believe that there are demons in this world?"

For ordinary people, even princes like Yun and Yunrong believe that there are monsters and goblins in this world. However, there is Shijiu in Yugong who knows the world as well as Shuijing. Jie Wuyi depends on him. How can you believe in these nonsense under the guidance of the teacher?

Xie Wuyi pursed his lips, neither saying he believed it nor saying he didn't believe it.

Shui Jing frowned and said, "Didn't Shi Jiu tell you that the scene that appeared on the sea that day was just the battlefield where Daluan attacked Qiong, not some so-called omen of the mirage exhaling and destroying the country?"

Xie Wuyi nodded: "I said so."

Shui Jing said strangely: "Then what sea monsters are you killing? There are no monsters in this sea at all."

Xie Wuyi shook his head, put one hand on the railing, lightly tapped his fingertips, and said, "It's a rumor that the mirage breathed out, and the sea monster is also a rumor, but it's true that the fisherman disappeared. The 'sea monster' I want to get rid of ' does not refer to 'monsters', but the 'monsters' of 'everything goes wrong, there must be a monster'."

Only then did Shui Jing understand that Xie Wuyi really did not believe that there were monsters in the sea, and that what he wanted to "get rid of" was the cause of the fishermen's disappearance.

Shui Jing was silent for a moment. He didn't quite agree with Xie Wuyi's statement that "something went wrong", but he didn't directly deny it. There are many emergencies, such as hurricanes, heavy rains, sea overflows, hidden reefs, and whirlpools, which may sink fishing boats."

Xie Wuyi nodded indifferently, and said, "I understand what you mean. You want to say that the disappearance of the fishermen is probably due to a natural disaster. Even if I want to eliminate it, there is nothing I can do, right?"

Shui Jing didn't deny it. This was exactly what he wanted to express. There were countless natural disasters, and he didn't think Xie Wuyi's visit would change anything.

Just now, the reason why he didn't go straight to the point is precisely because he felt that Yijie Wuchang's understanding didn't require him to speak too bluntly, just pointing to the end.

But looking at Xie Wuyi's reaction, it seemed that he had heard similar advice before, but he didn't agree with it. Instead, he had his own opinion, which he knew well.

Shui Jing thought about it for a while, and he was right. What he said just now, let alone release wine, I am afraid that even the empress of the country would not have missed it. Naturally, some people have questioned it.

However, Xie Wuyi still went out to sea now, which means that he should have found some kind of convincing evidence to prove that the fishermen's disappearance was not caused by natural disasters.

Sure enough, Xie Wuyi looked at Shui Jing and said earnestly, "Among the natural disasters you mentioned just now, Hai Yi was caused by earthquakes. It only happens once every few years, so it shouldn't be so frequent."

Shui Jing thought for a while, and agreed: "That's right, Hai Yi doesn't consider it, so it can be ruled out for now."

Xie Wuyi nodded, and said in an orderly manner: "Since the appearance of the mirage, there are a total of 49 missing fishermen. I have read all the case files carefully. Among them, only two of them had thunderstorms at sea while the other 47 went to sea. The skies were clear during the reporting period."

Shui Jing nodded, and said: "In this case, we can rule out weather reasons such as hurricanes and rain."

He paused, and then said: "However, reefs and eddies have nothing to do with wind and rain, and are very common in the deep sea. How can you be sure that they didn't encounter these?"
