Born short-lived

Sea

After ten days of sailing, we will arrive in Daling soon.As the suzerain of the Four-Party Federation, Da Ling has the privilege to convene all countries at any time, and since the establishment of the Four-Party Federation, all meetings, large and small, have been held on the land of Da Ling.

At night, Zhou Zirong visited the deck before going to bed as usual.I drank some wine with Li Chongwen at dinner, and now I feel a little sleepy, and my mind gradually becomes confused.

He blinked his sore eyes, stood by the railing and looked around—it was a sunny day with a bright moon and few stars, the moon was bright in the sky, the wind was calm, and the silvery white moonlight seemed to illuminate the entire sea level.The sea seems to be sprinkled with broken silver, and accompanied by the sound of the tide of Salasala, it is constantly flashing and jumping-it is the so-called floating light and leaping gold.

The sea breeze at night was bitingly chilly, Zhou Zirong tightened the outer robe that was tightly wrapped around his body, breathed a sigh of relief, his brain was sore and swollen, but his scalp was almost numb from the cold wind.

"How's the situation over there?" Seeing Luo Chi bring a group of patrolling soldiers over to hand over to the next squad, Zhou Zirong asked.

"Everything is normal." Luo Chi responded, "It's windy outside, just leave it to us, you can go back and rest."

"It's okay," Zhou Zirong smiled, "I'll wait for your next shift to finish."

Luo Chi was about to turn around and leave, but he hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't let go of his heart and turned around to add another sentence; "...My lord, you will get sick if you blow the wind after drinking."

"Okay, am I that weak? What should I do?" Zhou Zirong grinned at him, and Luo Chi stopped making fun of himself, scratched his head, and walked away pouted.

In fact, he was just waiting. Before Zhou Zirong left, he told his subordinates that if someone sent a letter to Donghai, they would forward it to him.The ship is equipped with a special spiritual sensor, which can attract specific messenger spirit birds.

The imperial court attaches great importance to the matter of the East China Sea, and Huajing City has already begun to investigate it. As the guard of the East China Sea, he naturally has a basket of official duties waiting for him to deal with.Before he left, he only checked half of the matter, and he still couldn't feel completely at ease in the end, so he asked people to notify him at any time.

Zhou Zirong would wait here every night until midnight. Although he felt unwell after drinking this day, he still felt uneasy.

In fact, in the past fifteen days, very few letters have been sent to him. Only a few days ago, there was a letter written by Luo Geng, which briefly explained the progress of the Southeast China Sea and Nanyang, and there was no further letter after that.

Zhou Zirong looked at the huge moon in the distance, and unconsciously went into a trance, thinking for no reason that it would be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a few days, and the moon was almost full.

At this time in previous years, he would first chat with Pan Shuning at home and eat the glutinous rice balls she made by herself.After he said good night, he said he was going back to his room to sleep, but he would always sneak to Zeng's mansion to see if Dong Sheng was asleep.If you haven't slept yet, the two of you will go to watch the Lantern Festival together, and have fun all night without telling your family.

I don't know what that person is doing right now...

Zhou Zirong couldn't help thinking, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously evoked a faint smile.

Zhou Zirong thought: It's time to ask the cook to prepare some glutinous rice balls.

He had considered that the Lantern Festival might be celebrated at sea before, so he specially asked someone to prepare glutinous rice noodles and sesame candies.

When it was almost midnight, his whole body was going to be numb from the cold.Zhou Zirong rubbed his hands vigorously from time to time, and then pressed his warm palms to his cold face.

At this time, a small black spot suddenly appeared in the silvery white moonlight in the distance, and it moved quickly to this side.

Zhou Zirong frowned, silently recited a series of mantras, and then blew a long whistle. The messenger bird found the connector and flew towards him at high speed.

Zhou Zirong took one hand out of his outer robe and looked up at the spirit bird, and the bird stopped on it with great dignity.There were a few murmurs in the throat, and then it turned into a cloud of white smoke with a "bang", and then another letter fell out of the white smoke, and landed firmly in Zhou Zirong's palm.

Zhou Zirong took the letter back and looked at it, his whole body froze for a moment, his heart seemed to have overturned sugar water, a ball of joy exploded silently like acacia bubbles, and the fine foam filled the whole heart in an instant.

I saw that there were four large and ugly characters written on the envelope, "Zi Rong Qin Qi".

That character is so ugly that it has its own characteristics, and it can be seen that it is the handwriting of the current prince.

Zhou Zirong tore open the seal eagerly, and carefully took out the two pieces of soft letter paper, his dark eyes were reluctant to blink, his eyes seemed to be stuck on the letter paper, the more he looked at the smile on his mouth The thicker it gets.

After reading it once, it seemed as if he suddenly remembered something, and read it several times, and finally put the letter away with a little loss - the letter actually concealed all the things that happened with Dong Sheng indiscriminately. There is no information about the place, not even a word related to this.

He knew that Dong Sheng wanted to hide himself. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, at least he knew that he was safe and sound, so he felt a little relieved.

Moreover, he still misses himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zirong laughed unconsciously again.

On the deck, Luo Chi finally saw that the last shift of the day was over, and was about to go to Zhou Zirong to return to his life, when he saw the man staring at an envelope from a distance, expressionless for a while, and inexplicably for a while. giggle...

What's going on here?

Unconsciously, Luo Chi's goosebumps shook all over the floor.

He struggled in his heart for a moment, and felt that the task was more important, so let's spoil the scenery.

Luo Chi walked over bravely, and was afraid of scaring him, so he said softly, "My lord."

Only after this call did Zhou Zirong, who was wandering in the air, be pulled back: "...Oh, you, what's the matter? What can I do for you?"

"...Uh, I've finished my shift." Luo Chi was a little confused by Zhou Zirong's amnesia-like seriousness, "It's time...I mean, I thought I would follow your orders and guard them as usual After handing in the last class..."

"Oh... yes, um, it's hard work, you can go back and rest." Zhou Zirong waved his hands calmly, "Is there any problem?"

"No."

"That's good, luckily."

Zhou Zirong sent Luo Chi away from the howling wind with a smile, then quietly pinched the letter in his arms through his clothes, and turned his head in a daze to look in the direction where the spirit bird came After a few glances, he waited until the person who came to replace Luo Chi arrived at the post, then he gathered up his robe and turned back to the ship building.
