Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

He casually threw it on a chair not far away and closed his eyes to rest.

The next day, a ray of sunlight penetrated the window and shone into the house.

Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes, got up to change his clothes, pushed open the door, and walked to the lobby. He found that everyone, including Chang An, had dressed neatly and sat at the table.

When Jiang Chuyue saw Ren Pingsheng, her eyes lit up, and her delicate face showed joy. She said, "The prince is awake..."

Ren Pingsheng wanted to ask, "Why did you get up so early today?" Seeing her eyes, he immediately reacted.

This is waiting for him to take them to the beach...

So.

He didn't waste words and directly pointed out the topic: "Eat something first, and then go to Chanzhou Port together."

As soon as the voice fell.

Jiang Chuyue picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth, her cheeks humming, like a hamster, and said in an unclear voice: "I'm full."

On the side. Mu Rou and Qiu Er also picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and stopped as if they were full.

For them who have lived inland since childhood, the blue sea and blue sky are indeed very attractive.

Before this, due to various reasons, they were unable to come and see it.

Now that they finally have such an opportunity, they are naturally looking forward to it.

Seeing them like this, Ren Pingsheng said no more, picked up two buns and said, "Since you have eaten, let's go!"

…………

Early morning.

In Chanzhou Port, the morning mist floated gently on the sea, making the entire port shrouded in a layer of soft white.

As time passed, the sun gradually rose, the morning mist dissipated, and the outline of Chanzhou Port gradually became clear.

There are many small boats on both sides of the port, quietly docked there, swaying slightly with the breeze.

On the sea in the center, some ships can be vaguely seen coming in and out, some of which are full of cargo, and some are carrying passengers. Driven by the waves, they slowly sailed to the distance.

Some fishermen can be seen busy sorting fishing nets, repairing boats, and sorting fishing gear around.

Their figures appear particularly tough in the sun, and their dark skin adds a simple charm to the prosperous Chanzhou Port.

In addition, you can see white flocks of birds soaring in the sky, making melodious chirping sounds.

For the fishermen living by the sea in the past, all this is just a common scene in ordinary life.

But for inland people who have never set foot on the seaside, it is like a beautiful painting.

Mu Rou got off the carriage, her beautiful eyes stared at everything in front of her, and a trance appeared between her eyebrows.

By her side, Qiu'er couldn't help but sigh: "So this is the sea, just like what the book said, there is no end in sight..."

On the side.

Jiang Chuyue seemed a little disappointed.

In her eyes, this so-called boundless sea seemed to be no different from all the lakes she had seen before.

But soon, she adjusted her mood, looked at Ren Pingsheng, and asked curiously: "Prince, are we going to the sea today?"

Ren Pingsheng glanced at her and asked: "Do you mean going to the sea or going out to sea?"

Jiang Chuyue was slightly startled and asked: "What's the difference?"

Ren Pingsheng opened his mouth and was about to explain.

Qiu'er on the side took the lead and said: "I think one is going to the sea, and the other is taking a boat to the sea."

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a second and nodded slightly: "That's about it."

Jiang Chuyue said "Oh" and asked again: "Then Prince, are we going out to sea today?"

Ren Pingsheng replied: "It depends on the situation."

After speaking, he looked at the busy port not far away.

There are several larger cargo ships docked there, which can be seen from a long distance. There are many guards wearing light armor protecting the cargo ships. Each of them looks strong and powerful.

Including the guards on the deck of the cargo ship, it is roughly estimated that there are at least five or six hundred people.

At this moment.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly understood.

Before his death, the prefect of Chanzhou wrote to Emperor Zhaowu, asking for more soldiers to be stationed in Chanzhou.

If such a large number of elite guards cause trouble, the existing military force of Chanzhou City may not be able to withstand it.

However.

For these cargo ships, it is human nature to raise more elite guards.

After all, in this day and age, bandits can be seen everywhere, not to mention the unattended sea.

It is obvious that pirates must be rampant. Without these guards, what business can be done and what goods can be delivered?

Ren Pingsheng thought so, retracted his gaze, and looked to the other side.

The location of the port is deep, and the water level is deep, which can accommodate some large cargo ships.

On both sides of the port, there are some small boats docked.

Most of them are fishing boats of local fishermen in Chanzhou, which look no different from those fishing boats on rivers and lakes.

"Merchants' cargo ships and fishermen's fishing boats are in their respective positions, and are in good order... Although there are not many government detectives in the entire Chanzhou Port, there is no trouble, and it looks normal.

From this point of view, the death of the Chanzhou prefect should have nothing to do with the inspection of Chanzhou Port. The problem still lies in Chanzhou City.

We still have to focus on the officials of the Chanzhou government. I don't know if they will reveal some clues after learning that I came to Chanzhou Port.

I hope to hear good news from Bai Ping and Murong after I go back..."

Ren Pingsheng stood on a slope, carefully observing the scenes in various places of Chanzhou Port, and this thought came to his mind.

At this time.

Jiang Chuyue's soft voice came from the side again:

"Prince, can we go over there and take a look?"

Ren Pingsheng turned his head and saw her pointing to a certain place.

It was the edge of the entire Chanzhou Port. There were not many fishing boats and few people.

"Yeah."

Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly and casually reminded: "Be careful."

"Remember!"

Jiang Chuyue raised her eyebrows, smiled at the corners of her mouth, grabbed Chang'an's arm, and said excitedly: "Senior sister, let's pick up crabs!"

Qiu'er looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, looked at her own lady, and whispered: "Miss..."

Just opened her mouth and stopped again, hesitating.

She also wanted to go to the beach with Jiang Chuyue to see if she could pick up some fun things, and if possible, touch the sea water again.

But, think about it.

The wind was strong at the seaside, and my young lady couldn't stand the cold.

If I went out to play, who would take care of my young lady?

So, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Mu Rou seemed to see what she was thinking, and smiled, and said softly: "Sister Qiu'er, go with me, I can take care of myself."

Qiu'er's eyelashes trembled, and she said: "The wind at the seaside is too strong, I don't want to go..."

She said so, but her eyes subconsciously glanced at the backs of Jiang Chuyue and Chang'an, obviously speaking one thing and thinking another.

Seeing this scene, Mu Rou thought for a second, and lowered her voice and said: "Sister Qiu'er stays here, how can I stay with Mr. Ren..."

At this point, she stopped abruptly.

Everything is self-evident.

Qiu'er was stunned for a moment, and then after reacting to what her young lady meant, she opened her eyes wide, a little unbelievable.

Mu Rou saw her looking at her with strange eyes, and a faint blush appeared on her fair face, and she didn't say anything.

At this time

Qiu'er came up to her and whispered, "Miss, don't worry. I will definitely hold His Highness Chang'an...Miss, you must seize this opportunity, maybe..."

Speaking of this, she felt a little embarrassed and stopped.

After all.

No matter how she listened to it, it sounded like she was trying to sow discord between the prince and His Highness Chang'an.

Although she was thinking about the young lady and wanted the young lady to occupy a certain position in the prince's heart, it was still not very appropriate.

So.

She said no more, just said, "Miss, take care."

After that, she resolutely turned around and left, shouting at Jiang Chuyue's back, "Miss Chuyue, wait for me!"

In just half an incense stick of time.

Only Ren Pingsheng and Mu Rou were left on the slope.

Although there was some distance between them, they still looked like a couple playing at the beach.

Ren Pingsheng originally planned to go to the port for a stroll, and was slightly stunned when he saw Qiu'er leaving with Chang'an and Jiang Chuyue.

Qiu'er left.

Who will take care of the little Taoist priest?

As soon as this question popped up in his mind, he heard Mu Rou's voice:

"It's good for me to sit here and watch the sea. Official business is more important. The prince doesn't have to worry about me."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Official business?"

Mu Rou looked at him, blinked, and asked: "Didn't the prince come here to investigate the case of the prefect's murder?"

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a few seconds and asked: "Why does Miss Mu think so?"

Mu Rou said: "Because the prince is never the kind of playboy who gives up easily. There must be a reason for saying so in the inn yesterday."

Ren Pingsheng did not comment and fell into silence.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Mu Rou continue: "I think His Highness Chang'an also saw it, otherwise, with His Highness Chang'an's temperament, he would not accompany Miss Chuyue to play on the beach..."

The implication.

Chang'an left to make room for him to investigate the case, and did not want his presence to disturb him.

Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng subconsciously looked at the beach not far away.

Chang An, wearing a moon-white dress, walked slowly. She was tall and slender. Her back alone was eye-catching.

After a few breaths.

Ren Pingsheng retracted his gaze, sat down, and said, "I came here today just to understand the situation at the port. It's enough to take a general look. There's nothing to check."

Mu Rou asked softly, "Mr. Ren, don't you plan to find a few boatmen and ask if there are any abnormalities at the port these days?"

Ren Pingsheng was slightly startled.

He had never thought about this question.

After all.

The prefect died in the city. What could these boatmen at the port know?

But, think about it.

The key to investigating such an unsolved case is not to miss any details.

It is no exaggeration to say that every insignificant detail may eventually become the key to solving the case.

This is the thought.

He no longer hesitated, looked at Mu Rou, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Miss Mu."

After a pause, he asked, "Miss Mu, do you want to come with me?"

Although Mu Rou's strength after the outbreak is comparable to that of a supernatural powerhouse.

But she is a weak physique with serious illness on weekdays, and he is still a little worried about leaving her here alone.

Mu Rou looked at Chang An on the beach, hesitated for a moment, and chose to refuse: "The seaside is windy, so forget it."

Ren Pingsheng said no more, took off the fox fur on his shoulders, spread it on the ground, and said, "Miss Mu, sit down and rest for a while, I'll be back soon."

After that, he walked towards the port.

Mu Rou stood there for a while and then sat on the soft fox fur.

The melodious calls of seabirds came from a distance.

A gust of sea breeze blows gently, bringing the unique fresh smell of sea water.

She sat there, looking at Ren Pingsheng's back, her heart felt unprecedentedly calm, and her brows were filled with soft colors.

the other side.

When Ren Pingsheng came to the port, he stopped a tracker who was working hard and asked: "I want to know if there is a place to rent a boat here? How much money does it cost to rent a boat?"

The tracker stopped and looked Ren Pingsheng up and down.

Seeing his luxurious clothes and handsome appearance, he immediately realized that he was a young man from an aristocratic family who came to the beach to play.

"This young master wants to go out to sea for fun?"

Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly: "Exactly."

The tracker asked again: "How many people are there in the young master's party?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "Five or six."

The tracker asked again: "How many days will you go to sea?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "It will only take a day or two to keep it fresh."

The tracker said: "Then just rent a small boat. It will cost hundreds of taels of silver for a day or two."

At this point, silence fell.

Ren Pingsheng repeated the previous question: "Where can I rent a boat?"

As he spoke, he took out a one-tael silver note from his arms and handed it over.

The tracker's eyes lit up when he saw the banknote. After reaching out to take it, his brows were full of smiles and he said respectfully: "You can rent a boat at Liu Laosan's place. I will take the young master there."

Then, he stuffed the banknote into his arms and led Ren Pingsheng to a certain place.

Ren Pingsheng followed behind, chatting casually: "I heard someone say that the weather on the sea can change at any time. After going to sea, if you encounter a heavy rain, no matter how good the water quality is, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it will be the same if you fall into the water. There is no escape from death.”

The tracker responded: "Back to you, Master, you are right. But after living here for a long time, you can still tell more or less what the climate is like. If you really catch up with the weather, no matter how much you give, You’ve got money to rent a boat, but no one will take you out.”

"I see."

Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly and asked, "What's the weather like these days?"

The tracker said: "With the blessing of the Sea Dragon King, everything is going smoothly."

The real dragon can ascend to the sky and descend the sea, and control the wind and rain. It has been worshiped by the people of this land since ancient times.

In human myths and legends, wherever there is water, no matter rivers, lakes or seas, there are dragon kings stationed there.

Nowadays, the True Dragon clan is close to extinction, but the custom of worshiping the Dragon King is still passed down.

The words "Blessed by the Sea Dragon King" are often spoken by the people at the seaside.

I heard the words "Sea Dragon King".

Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but think of the only true dragon left in the world, Mo Qian.

I don’t know how she plans to retaliate against herself after suffering a loss last time...

anyway.

Emperor Zhaowu has already signed an agreement with the demon clan.

Why is the Demon Clan mission still in the capital?

Is it possible that they plan to live in the capital permanently?

I thought about it for a while.

Ren Pingsheng abandoned his distracting thoughts, looked at the group of barbarians passing by, and casually asked the tracker: "There are usually many barbarians here?"
