Chapter 1618 Xiao Li Is Completely Confused
That day, the rain was getting heavier and the wind was getting stronger. After five days on the sea, the weather became unstable. Rong Leng consulted the hired boatman, who said that it was normal to have wind and waves in late summer. Their boat was big, and as long as they sailed steadily and did not go against the wind, there would be no danger.
The boatman had been sailing all year round and was a native of Liangjiang, so Rong Leng naturally trusted him. However, the rain continued for two days afterwards. Although the boatman guaranteed that there was no major problem, Rong Leng still wanted to retreat. There were old and young people on the boat, and he could not afford the risk, so he decided to return.
But at this time, they met the ship of the Bian Navy.
There were two ships of the Bian Navy, and there were two merchant ships in the middle. Rong Leng initially thought that the navy was escorting the merchant ships to pass through. After all, there were Shanhaizhai in the depths of Liangjiang. Large merchant ships wanted to travel safely, and most of them had to rely on the care of the Bian Navy.
But when he looked closely, he saw Prince Lin on the deck of the merchant ship.
Ever since the matter of the wolf tribe ruins was outsourced, Rong Leng has been monitoring the princes of the capital. He knows what this Prince Lin looks like very well.
Prince Lin dressed like a commoner and traveled with the Bian Navy on an ordinary merchant ship.
Rong Leng immediately thought of the white bone bowl that he had turned into powder.
Two Bian Navy ships followed Prince Lin like cows and horses, and Rong Leng had to wonder if the Bian Navy had become one with Prince Lin?
Prince Lin had someone steal the white bone bowl of Zhenyang Kingdom, and turned around to lure Princess Mula to the northwest border, hoping to get something for nothing, so that the Northwest Border Army and Zhenyang Kingdom would have a conflict. He would stay at the mouth of the two rivers, waiting for the conflict to break out. When the Northwest Border Army reported to the emperor, he would be able to take advantage of the situation and be the first to attack Zhenyang Kingdom.
Prince Lin is a concubine prince. No matter how prominent his mother's family is or how rich he is, he has no military power. If he wants to occupy Zhenyang Kingdom as soon as possible, he must cooperate with the Bian Navy, which has military power.
And now the Bian Navy treats Prince Lin very well. Even when Prince Lin goes on a tour incognito, the Bian Navy can send two ships to accompany him for protection.
With such a big move, it is clear at a glance what the relationship is.
Rong Ling does not know whether Zhenyang Kingdom is the destination of the ruins. Prince Lin has spent so much effort and played such a big game. Whether his actions can be fruitful is also unknown.
But the opportunity is right in front of him. After weighing the pros and cons again and again, Rong Ling gritted his teeth and decided to delay his return and contact the ship of Prince Lin of the Bian Navy.
He brought out the title of Rujiang Palace, and the other party had to accept him.
And the excuse Rong Ling brought out was quite unreflective. He said that his ship was originally going to Baozhou, but the ship got lost halfway.
As soon as this reason came out, the eyes of Bian Navy and Prince Lin changed.
The attitude of the Bian Navy was vague. They probably thought that this Governor Rong was out of his mind. Baozhou is in the south. This ship is going east. If you can reach Baozhou, I will eat this ship for you.
Prince Lin had a subtle look in his eyes. Judging from his meaning, he probably thought that King Rujiang had also found out that the ruins were in Zhenyang Country, so he sent people to Zhenyang Country.
The three parties had their own thoughts, but none of them pointed it out. After two days of traveling together in a seemingly harmonious way, they encountered waves.
Now, all five ships were trapped in the sea, surrounded by water, and the rain was still falling. The nearest island was the barren Menshi Island. Not only was there no garrison on the island, but there were also very few islanders. It was estimated that there were not enough houses for the people on their five ships to stay on the island.
But there was no way. In such weather, the ship would inevitably capsize if it continued to go, so their only choice was Menshi Island.
However, when approaching Menshi Island, Rong Leng saw from the map and coordinates that it was very close to the old site of Dajiang County.
…
The couple chattered non-stop for nearly half an hour before they barely finished.
Liu Wei didn't know that Rong Leng went to Laicheng County after she left, and took his whole family with him. She was a little scared: "Chouchou is so young, and his grandfather is so old. It's really too difficult for them to travel such a long distance."
Rong Leng held Liu Wei's hand tightly and said, "I know my limits."
Liu Wei still trusted Rong Leng privately. She knew that since Rong Leng did this, he would definitely think carefully and make proper arrangements on the way, but with both old and young people, it was inevitable that people would be distracted.
Seeing that Liu Wei just sighed and was not angry, Rong Leng couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Do you want to scold me?"
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You have your own ideas, and you have taken good care of everyone, why should I scold you? Don't make me look like an ignorant shrew."
Rong Leng looked into her eyes steadily: "Really not scolding?"
Liu Wei shook her head: "No, I miss you, I just want to hug you, lean on you, just like now..."
As she said, she raised her hand and hugged Rong Leng's waist again, her body pressed tightly against his.
Rong Leng looked at his wife's smiling face expressionlessly, and after a while, he said faintly: "Then don't regret it."
Liu Wei thought she had heard it wrong, and said "ah".
Rong Leng suddenly said: "Chouchou has a snake."
Liu Wei was puzzled: "What?"
"It's called A-Bi."
"..."
"Venomous snake."
"!!!"
"She can talk to snakes."
"???"
"She can talk to other animals."
"………………………………"
After a long silence, Liu Wei's face became more and more ugly.
Rong Leng felt that Liu Wei's hands were holding him tighter and tighter, and the fingers on his back were digging deeper and deeper.
The faint feeling of suffocation began to become obvious.
Rong Leng swallowed his saliva, carefully pushed his wife out a little, and said: "Calm down first."
Liu Wei slowly raised her head, with a storm in her eyes, she looked at Rong Leng.
Rong Leng quickly distanced himself from the matter: "You have to understand that this is inherited from you, and it has nothing to do with me."
Liu Wei: "…………"
……
Rong Leng and Liu Wei quarreled.
Zhong Ziyu was drinking porridge. He was not fully recovered from his illness, and he was very picky about eating. He took a spoon to drink half a bowl of porridge for most of the day and didn't finish it.
When Liu Wei suddenly yelled at Rong Leng, the sound was too loud, which scared him. The bowl in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.
Xiao Li, who was helping the grandmother and grandson to boil water in the kitchen, heard it and ran out in a hurry. He saw his parents pushing each other under the window.
Mom wanted to leave, Dad pulled her, Mom pushed Dad, and Dad still pulled her.
I don't know what happened, Xiao Li was confused.
After Zhong Ziyu came to his senses, he slowly squatted down to clean up the porridge bowls. Xiao Li didn't dare to rush into the battle circle, so he went to help Zhong Ziyu clean up and asked him: "What happened to my parents?"
Zhong Ziyu shook his head: "I don't know."
Xiao Li frowned: "Weren't you here the whole time? Didn't you see it?"
"No."
