The time they agreed on was in the evening, Qi Jing came early, and Shaoxuan also came back early.

Seeing the opponent's figure, Qi Jing was so excited that he almost jumped into the water, but fortunately, his personal guards stopped him, and Shaoxuan went ashore soon.

After embracing him, Qi Jing could still feel the chill emanating from Shaoxuan's body even through the thick fur coat.

A certain person was so distressed that he wanted to hide him in his arms, but it was a pity that Shaoxuan was not Xiao Shiyi, so he couldn't knead into a ball, and Qi Jing had no choice but to dress him himself.

While putting it on for him, Qi Jing felt around carefully, trying to see if there were any signs of injury on his body.

After a quick inspection, no obvious scars were found, and Qi Jing's heart fell to the ground.

Back on the carriage, Qi Jing breathed a sigh of relief and asked the other party: "How is it? Is everything going well?"

In fact, when Qi Jing asked Shaoxuan this question, he was already mentally prepared. He knew what he was going to get, and it might be bad news.

If Shaoxuan's trip goes well, even if he can't bring Shaoyao ashore, at least he should let his brother show up when he was in the sea just now.

But Shaoxuan was the only one who came back... In other words, he probably didn't find Shaoyao.

Qi Jing thought: The sea of ​​whales is so big, and Shaoxuan and Shaoyao have been separated for several years. It is really difficult to find each other's traces, not to mention that Shaoxuan is still looking for it alone. This is the real needle in a haystack.

Sure enough, Shaoxuan said, "Shaoyao was not found."

Being able to come to Chunhe this time was already an unexpected joy. Although he knew that he might not be able to find anything, Qi Jing was inevitably disappointed when he heard the bad news came true... He was disappointed because of Shaoxuan.

——Maybe the search time is too short, maybe Shaoyao and his people have already left Jinghai, maybe the fate of their reunion has not arrived yet...

Seeing that Qi Jing couldn't hide his emotions in front of him, and felt very disappointed at first glance, Shaoxuan took out some things from his arms and showed them to Qi Jing.

When Qi Jing saw some colorful scales, he immediately realized what they were-these should be the scales of the Merman, and the scales of the Shaoxuan people.

Some of those scales are still very shiny, while others are dull. Based on what Master Hong Chou said about the Merman Emperor, and Shaoxuan's description of the Merman to himself, Qi Jing knows that this means The owners of some scales are still alive, while others have sunk into the sea.

The mermen refer to death as sinking into the sea, implying that the ocean has nurtured the merman, and eventually the merman will all return to the bottom of the sea and become a part of the sea.

Those mermaids with dark scales have now merged with the sea that gave birth to them.

Before she had time to feel sad for them, Qi Jing realized that there might be good news mixed in.

He raised his head to look at Shaoxuan, and the other party nodded as expected: "Shaoyao should still be alive."

At this time, he showed Qi Jing one of the dark blue scales. The color of the scale was deep, but the color was translucent. Even if Shaoxuan didn't deliberately point it out, Qi Jing was attracted by its brilliance at a glance.

Its luster indicates the health of the owner... This is indeed good news to be rejoiced at.

"I found these on the shallows of the Whale Sea Island. It must have been some time ago. Probably Shao Yao and the others hid near the island when they passed by."

At that time, Zhan Yi rebelled and caught Lao Yuren Huang's tribe by surprise, causing Shao Yao and the others to suffer heavy losses.

Zhanyi's power is in full swing, and he wants to subvert the hegemony in Haizhong at all costs, and pursues the old tribe fiercely.

He could fight recklessly, but Shaoyao couldn't easily let a few clansmen die, so he chose to avoid Jinghai.

There were frequent maritime incidents in the past two years, and the life of the new mermaid tribe in Shaohai was difficult, and the life of Shaoyao and the old tribe must also be difficult.

However, as long as the merman is still alive, there is still hope for everything.

Qi Jing thought for a while, and said to Shaoxuan: "I will find a way to write to Emperor Father, and we will stay in Chunhe for a while."

After so many years, I finally found Shaoyao's trace here. I think Shaoxuan wanted to see each other very much. If they stayed in Chunhe for a longer time, Shaoxuan would have more time to search in the sea of ​​whales, maybe More clues about Shaoyao can be found, and even his relatives and tribe may be found.

However, Shaoxuan shook his head: "Shaoyao and the others are no longer here, let's go back."

Although it's only been three days, Shaoyao has already searched all the nearby sea areas, except for some early traces, there is no trace of the familiar mermaid living here.

Whale Sea itself also has a shark tribe. It may not be so easy for Shaoyao and the others to snatch territory and food from the original owner of this sea area.

With Shaoyao's prudence, he would probably lead his clansmen to roam among various sea areas, looking for a relatively safe area, so that the clan could thrive.

The situation in the sea is complicated, not to mention the unfamiliar sea area. To find out the laws in it, it cannot be done in a day or two.

Unless Shaoxuan no longer goes ashore and stays in the sea to search, then there may be a possibility of finding Shaoyao, otherwise it would be meaningless for Qi Jing to stay in Chunhe.

If Qi Jing is an ordinary person, then it is not a big problem to settle here temporarily, but he is Prince Jing of Qingzhou after all, he also has his own responsibilities that must be fulfilled, and there are family members waiting in Tianjing, so he cannot give up everything easily Stay here with him.

It's not that Qi Jing refuses, but Shaoxuan can't bear it.

Just because he knew that searching like this was hopeless, and also expected that Qi Jing would definitely wait for him at the coast ahead of time, Shaoyao didn't stop and wander, but returned directly to the coast of Chunhe.

He has a firm belief in his heart: "If Shaoyao is still alive, one day he will return to Shaohai. When that day comes, it will be time for us to take revenge on Zhanyi."

Although Shaoyao is now leading his tribe to hide his whereabouts in order to protect his tribe to the greatest extent.But the strength and persistence in the mermaid's blood will not dissipate with the ups and downs. He must always remember his wish to return to Shaohai.

If they want to take back their homeland from the enemy and avenge the sacrificed clansmen, they will always return to one place.

Zhan Yi broke his promise, not only destroyed the ships of Jizhou by sea, but also seduced and killed the prince of Qingzhou, which has completely offended both Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Originally, the sharks lived in the deep sea and had no contact with the Kyushu people, but after all, Shaohai is an inland sea surrounded on three sides, not to mention that Zhanyi's tribe is also inevitably affected by maritime incidents.

From this point of view, the decline of the new Shaohai clan is a matter of time, and it is just around the corner that Shaoyao will bring his clansmen back to Shaohai.

Qi Jing saw the persistent light shining in Shaoxuan's deep eyes, just like the scale in his hand, full of vitality.

To avenge himself who almost died and his clansmen who have sunk in the sea, this does not conflict with living with Qi Jing.

Shaoxuan once supported him to live a good life and find the meaning of rebirth, and he will accompany Shaoxuan all the way to do whatever he wants.

Although he knew that the road ahead was confusing and that there might be danger at any time, he still supported the other party, just like how Shaoxuan supported him countless times.

……

Although this trip to Chunhe was a bit regrettable, I got some good news after all.

After letting Shaoxuan rest for the night, they started their return journey, heading towards Qingzhou along the east coast of Jizhou.

Shaoxuan was not injured, and seemed to be in good spirits, but that night and the following few nights, he slept extremely deeply, making it easy for Qi Jing to see how difficult it was for him to live in Jinghai a few days ago.

Mermaids who are alone usually cannot survive in the sea because there are various dangers in the sea, not to mention that Shaoxuan went alone to find the trace of his brother, and he might not sleep for three days.

Now that he returned to Qi Jing's side, he relaxed, which is why he slept very deeply.

Qi Jing felt distressed, but he didn't ask Shaoxuan anything, he just acted as Shaoxuan's peaceful haven.

Little Eleven was naturally very happy to see Brother Shaoxuan who had "going out for something" come back safely, especially when he heard his brother said that they could go home, the little guy was even more excited.

It’s certainly fun to come out to play, but my brother is afraid that he is young and has a bad stomach and will be easily acclimatized, so he is very concerned about his diet.

The direct result is that you can't eat this, and you can't eat that, and the little leopard cub is worried to death.

Back in the palace, although the location is a bit small, the advantage is that there are many kinds of food for you to choose from, and my brother doesn't have so many scruples.

Of course, he misses his little nephew, and his father and grandmother, so he has the idea of ​​going home.

Qi Jing took Xiao Shiyi and the others back to Qingzhou, which was delayed a bit later than originally expected.

The emperor and the empress dowager had experienced several incidents, and they were somewhat apprehensive about the prince going out, so they were very worried for a few days.

When Lao Qi came back safely, the emperor thought that he was reluctant to leave because he was nostalgic for the fun place. He felt a sense of loss that he would fly away sooner or later when the child grew up.

Qi Jing invited Ann, and also apologized, and was left by the emperor to speak in the Zichen Palace.

"It's almost New Year's Eve again. During this time, you should stay in Tianjing and do things well, and don't run anywhere, lest your imperial grandmother worry."

Qi Jing quickly responded, saying that he must be honest and squatting in the official office this time, and finish the things that were to be done a year ago.

The father and son chatted about the affairs of Jizhou for a while. Qi Jing was entrusted by King Jinyang and did not tell the story of their encounter in the market, but he still mentioned that he saw the emperor of Jizhou and King Jinyang, and felt that the friendship between them was not good. Deeper than outsiders imagine.

Qi Xuan, who had already returned to Beijing, had already reported this to the emperor—anyone who saw the Emperor Jizhou and King Jinyang getting along with their own eyes could easily draw this conclusion.

The statements of the nephew and the son were confirmed by each other, and while the emperor believed their words, he was also a little surprised.

He is also an emperor himself, so he naturally knows that even if he is the king of a country, he may not be able to do whatever he wants, or in other words, he cannot always do whatever he wants.

If the young emperor of Jizhou can do this, he seems to be much luckier than the old emperor who has been in power for 25 years.

No matter how interesting the affairs of the neighboring country were, they could not compare with the affairs of one's own palace.

It is serious to solve the affairs in the palace first.

The emperor thought about it, and said to Qi Jing: "Lao Qi, after this year, you should go to Laiyiwei to have a look first."

When Qi Jing heard this, she was a little surprised at first, and then she became a little bit clear.

——This will happen sooner or later, so it is not sudden.
