Chronicles of Ancient Life

Qin Jiaze didn't expect to part so soon, and returned to the inn to rest for the night.Early in the morning Yingyu came to say goodbye.

"Is something wrong? Why are you leaving suddenly?" The coolness of the summer morning makes people feel comfortable, and it is a good time to hurry.Although Qin Jiaze felt reluctance in his heart, he would not pretentiously come to see each other off at eighteen miles.The two have their own careers, and it is best to leave enough space between each other.Therefore, Qin Jiaze only asked this question.

Qin Jiaze never made any intimate gestures in front of Yingyu's subordinates. At this time, he just stood a little closer and painted the man's eyebrows and eyes greedily, keeping in mind, "If you leave early, there must be you The reason is that you can walk a little longer when it is cool in the morning, and remember to take a rest at noon to avoid the heat. Take care of yourself! I will draw the sea chart as soon as possible and send it to you.”

Ying Yu listened to the man's nagging, "Well, good."

The clacking of horseshoes gradually disappeared, and Qin Jiaze turned back to the inn, where he would start a busy day.Parting is the beginning of reunion.

Bai Zifang reluctantly stuffed the last fried whitebait into his mouth, squinting his eyes and savoring the delicious taste.Bai Zifang wiped her hands with a cotton towel, turned her head and said to Qin Jiaze next to her, "Oh, I finished eating so soon. I don't know when I can eat such delicious whitebait again? Ze, when you go back, will you What plan?"

Qin Jiaze carefully put away the drawings, put them into a special bamboo tube, tapped the bamboo tube with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I won't go to the academy anymore, and I'll leave for Haicheng immediately after I get back. What are your plans?"

"Tsk tsk, I knew you were busy meeting your lover, but I'm sorry I'm still a lonely family. I had to continue studying alone." Bai Zifang shook her head, lamenting her tragic fate.

After hearing this, Qin Jiaze thought that although he had many plans, at the moment they were all just fantasies.It won't be too late to bring Xiaobai together when the plan has taken shape.He swallowed the words that came to his lips.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, only the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground.

The carriage swayed gently with the rhythm, carrying the two young people on the carriage to the unknown road ahead.

"Hula!" Qin Jiaze lifted the curtain of the car, leaned over and jumped off the carriage, and the unique breath of Haicheng rushed towards him.It was October and the autumn wind was refreshing, and the wind with the slight fishy smell of the sea didn't make Qin Jiaze feel uncomfortable.Qin Jiaze got off the car at this small grass pavilion, not far in front was the naval station, the house of the two uncles and younger brothers was near the camp, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it.There are soldiers setting up checkpoints at the intersection, and pedestrians cannot go any further.

"Brother, brother." Before Qin Jiaze entered the pavilion, he turned around and heard his younger brother chirping.

The people who came were naturally the two younger brothers of the Qin family.Qin Jiaran was at the age of twelve or thirteen and couldn't sit still. He came to pick up his brother today, but before the person picked him up, he lost his temper and went into the woods to catch a few rabbits and pheasants to give his brother a taste of the wind.

Qin Jiaran immediately hung two pheasants, and when he saw his brother's carriage from a distance, he got off the horse and rushed over excitedly.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay. Let go, the brat is so strong, he's already so tall." Qin Jiaze was out of breath from being hugged by the bear.

"Brother, I miss you so much! Look, I even gave you a rabbit and a pheasant. Look at it! There is also seafood specially prepared for you by my younger brother. Hehe, I will make sure you can eat enough. By the way, yes Oh... hey, don't touch my head!" Qin Jiaran angrily shook off her brother's hand and muttered, "I'm already this old..."

Just as he was talking, Qin Jiaxin also drove the horse to the front, and it was rare for a person who had always been quiet to show a happy expression on his face. He couldn't hide his excitement and shouted, "Brother, congratulations, big brother..."

After the three brothers talked briefly, they got on their horses and went to the house together.There is never a shortage of food and wine for family reunions.Although the two uncles were very busy, they took time out to reunite with their nephews and grandchildren.

"Haha, good boy. I didn't expect you to read well, and your ability to please your sweetheart is also good! The Duke of Dingyang Wang's family, no matter if it is Kyoto or Haicheng, so many people are looking forward to it! Hahaha! "Qin Jingye is over forty years old, and still has a fiery demeanor, and the passage of time has added a bit of charm to him.At this time, he laughed heartily and drank a glass of wine, Fu frowned and said, "It's the Zhou family's place in the capital..."

If it is said that Qin Jingye's handsome and mature attracts attention, then Shen Yanran's demeanor is even more restrained and intoxicating.Shen Yanyan squinted her eyes slightly, sipped Qin Jiaze's filial piety of nine-year wine in a white jade cup, smiled sideways, and whispered softly, "The Zhou family is nothing, once the queen mother is gone, it will be overthrown. Ah Ze is still young, you only need to wait a few years, and there will be results naturally. Of course, Xiao Ze has to watch him closely!"

Faced with the banter of the two elders, Qin Jiaze didn't blush or pant, but offered a full glass of wine, "Uncle, I want to go for a walk in a few days. Haicheng has an open folk style, and there are many overseas things and books. I want to continue learning Fanbang foreign language. By the way..."

After saying this, the two elders understood what Qin Jiaze had said, and they stopped making fun of it immediately.Shen Yanran was careful and cautious, "I'll let someone introduce you to a veteran who is proficient in foreign things, and I will accompany you to look around. As for the interpreter? Go find your little lover by yourself! He has a lot of capable people... Ha ha! "

The vicinity of the military camp is not considered remote, and there are villages nearby, but after all, it is next to the sea, so it is not as prosperous as the city.After reuniting with his brothers for a few days, Qin Jiaze packed up his things and prepared to continue to Haicheng.

1700

The name of Haicheng is Haiping City, which means that the sea is calm and disaster-free and free from bandits.In the last years of the former dynasty, maritime disasters occurred frequently, and bandits and bandits were rampant, so people withdrew the word Ping and called it Haicheng.The irony in this can be imagined.

Qin Jiaze rode a horse all the way from the city gate to the inn. There were many foreign people among the pedestrians, and the goods gathered from all directions. It looked like a bustling scene, and he felt proud in his heart. His wife must have contributed to this!

Qin Jiaze didn't go directly to see his sweetheart, it's not that he didn't want to go.It's just that it's already evening, why don't you go to the Qin family's house in the city to settle down, clean it up, and go to see your sweetheart tomorrow in good spirits.It's just that he didn't expect that before he finished his meal in the restaurant, his sweetheart would miraculously appear in front of his eyes.

Qin Jiaze sat in the corner separated by a screen, eating the food on the table intently.When Ying Yu saw him, Qin Jiaze still had a fish ball on his chopsticks.Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, you might as well shake your hands. The fish balls rolled down the table to the ground. Following the fish balls, a pair of boots embroidered with gold thread rang out in the narrow cubicle with a chuckle. .

Qin Jiaze stood up in surprise, and said in surprise, "Ayu, why are you here?" As he said that, he went forward to hold the hand of his sweetheart, and the lover was brought to him by himself. How could Qin Jiaze not take the initiative?

There was also a smile on Ying Yu's face, and there was faint fatigue between his brows and eyes, but this did not affect the joy in his heart at this time.After being pleasantly surprised, the two sat down next to each other. "I received news from people from the military camp yesterday. Knowing that you are leaving for Haicheng today, people will naturally pay attention. This will make me catch a slippery fish."

Qin Jiaze couldn't help laughing out loud, not only because of his lover's concern for him, but also because of his relaxed joke at the moment.You must know how strict Yingyu is, and it is rare for him to joke around.Qin Jiaze couldn't help but leaned over to Ying Yu's ear and rubbed it lightly.With joy and sincerity, the voice whispered in his ear, "I miss you so much, so I'm here, to be with you."

Before Ying Yu had time to be surprised by Qin Jiaze's intimate behavior, her ears were stained red by these simple love words.

"Hehe!" Qin Jiaze smiled, not daring to continue, for fear that his lover would become angry from embarrassment. "This food tastes good, have you tried it? I'll ask the guy to make some of your favorite food again."

"Well, that's fine. You can have some." Yingyu's face showed the joy of reuniting with his lover, and his spirit was uplifted, but his physical exhaustion could not be concealed, and he felt even more tired when he relaxed.

Qin Jiaze also saw Ying Yu's tired face, so he ordered some warm and light dishes.After the joyful mood stabilized, he asked, "Is something wrong? You don't look good? If you don't mind, you can talk to me."

There is nothing to hide, nothing to say.I'm just afraid that you're worried, Ying Yu thought in his heart, hesitated for a moment and said, "Yesterday we wiped out a group of pirates, and there will be some troubles in the future."

"What? Suppressing the bandits, what's going on? You went there yourself? Are you injured?" Qin Jiaze jumped up before he could finish his sentence, took Ying Yu's hand, and looked him up and down to see if he was injured.The anxious look made Yingyu both sweet and helpless.

Ying Yu stretched out his hand and dragged him to sit down, motioning Qin Jiaze to calm down, and then continued in a low voice, "Listen to me. I didn't go to suppress the bandits in person, I just temporarily changed my plan to patrol the sea, and I just happened to meet. And it was only a small group. Those pirates originally came to the shore to find human traffickers to buy children. They had slipped through the net and colluded with some people on the shore.

Unexpectedly, they were greedy for money and boldly wanted to rob the two overseas merchant ships they met. I happened to meet them, so I couldn't let them go, maybe I would send them a ride.By the way, dig out who else is colluding with them. "

Speaking of this, Ying Yu showed a happy and angry expression. He was happy that the person who colluded with the pirates might be dug out, and he could steal the pirates' lair again by the way.

What is angry is that this group of people is lawless, and their methods are vicious and despicable.In recent years, the imperial court has suppressed pirates and appeased the people along the coast, especially Qin Jingye's successful suppression of bandits, and most of the bandits have been wiped out.

The pirates have no successors, and they don't want their own population to be exhausted, so they collude with the human traffickers on the shore, buying and selling young children and half-grown children as pirates as backup, which is simply outrageous.

Ying Yu can deal ruthless pirates and kill them all.But he couldn't do anything to the rescued children who were educated as pirates since childhood.It is both heartbreaking and helpless. Many children's concept of right and wrong has long been distorted, and some even have blood on their hands.Can't kill, but don't know how to keep it?A group of officials really had a headache, and reported the matter to Ying Yu, Ying Yu was also unable to make a decision and was very depressed.

After hearing this, Qin Jiaze was angry at the viciousness and shamelessness of the thieves and traffickers, but also regretted the fate of these children.While thinking, a thought crossed my mind, but I still need to think carefully.Before making a decision, Qin Jiaze has some suggestions for Yingyu...

Those blood-stained children must not be allowed to leave freely, otherwise they may become factors of social instability and human bombs from time to time.Those who are young and ignorant with parents will naturally try to find it, and those without parents will try their best to find a place for their children.Not too big or too small, there is another way to solve the problem of not being able to find parents...
