Chapter 384
"What kind of ship is that?"
Jiang Keyin's voice was lazy and soft. She just glanced through the porthole at the ceremonial lights on the ship in the distance and the crowd of people saluting, and then turned her eyes back to the small jade mortar in her hand without interest.
It was a rather delicate small bowl that was half a work of art. The pestle stick and the bowl body were made of extremely warm jade. From the candlelight on the side, you could see the delicate calligraphy engraved on it.
"His Royal Highness, the Master of the Palace of Congratulations to Tianchi, has been appointed as the royal concubine, and is a gift from Han Qing, a disciple of Qiushui Villa."
This is an extremely valuable tool in Qiushui Villa. It is the gentlest for grinding medicine and is the least likely to lose the medicinal power of the genius treasure.
When she was crowned as the royal concubine, this precious treasure was also given to her by Chi Hanqing in the name of Qiushui Villa as a congratulatory gift.
"Empress, that is the former Sizhou of Liangzhou, the headquarters of the National Law Department. It is being transferred to Haizhou under orders. The officers and soldiers of the National Law Department and the local sects in Liangzhou are responsible for escorting it and are saluting you."
A female soldier from the National Law Department guarding the door reported.
Jiang Keyin nodded lightly and didn't say anything else. He just held the pestle of the mortar in his hand and ground the materials in the bowl gently and carefully.
It's not really a medicinal material.
A very fresh and tender 100-petal peony was lying quietly on the table. Jiang Keyin had already picked half of the fine and lush petals on it. She gently picked it off, put it into the mortar, and crushed it into flower juice.
.
"Why?"
Jiang Keyin suddenly spoke in a low voice.
The female guard didn't hear clearly and asked carefully: "...Empress? Are you talking to me?"
Jiang Keyin put down the jade pestle in his hand, shook his head and stood up: "You go out to watch the night. After a while, when it's time to rest, you can go to change shifts and rest. There is no need to stay in the room."
The female soldier naturally agreed to leave, and only Jiang Keyin and her two personal maids were left in the cabin.
One person in total.
She slowly walked to the window and looked at the boat carrying Sizhou that was about to completely disappear from the field of vision, her eyes became complicated.
"Why...?" Jiang Keyin murmured in a low voice.
What does an official who is transferred to the left usually look like?
Faced with a barren prison like the Haeju National Justice Department, perhaps 99% of people's first reaction is to "give it up."
As the old saying goes, Ma Kai, who once faced great challenges and served as Sizhou of Leizhou and also served as Sizhou of Liangzhou, suffered such a huge blow and disparity. The common reaction was obviously to give up.
But a person who shows off will not show affection like this, unless he still has illusions.
When you reach Ma Kai's position as an official, you should no longer have any illusions.
Han Dongwen's voice that day seemed to ring in Jiang Keyin's ears again.
"The best people to use are not those who have the ability, but those who have no choice but to make all-or-nothing decisions."
How did Han Dongwen have such confidence?
What kind of arrangements does he have for Haizhou?
——————————
After one day.
Crow Bay.
Unit No. 1 woke up from standby, and the room where he stayed the night before was still in front of him.
Ever since Han Dongwen had the idea to win over the Dead Fleet, he didn't feel so anxious and stayed in this tavern that night. …
The taverns in Xue Gang are different from the restaurants in Simeng. Logically speaking, they do not provide accommodation services.
This Crown of the Dead Tavern naturally does not have any rooms for guests.
But this problem was solved effortlessly by the Dead Fleet last night - the group of players just swarmed into the tavern, said something to the surrounding drinkers, and the noisy drinkers left the tavern one after another.
.
The bartender at Crown of the Dead also enthusiastically cleaned the room that was not open to the public on weekdays.
This should also be because Crow Bay, where the Crown of the Dead is located, is within the sphere of influence of the Mianjiang Merchant Group.
"Presumably they are usually this arrogant and domineering in Blood Harbor..."
Han Dongwen was thinking while checking the log of Unit 1 last night. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he stood up and walked out of the room.
The spear was slung behind his back, and the dagger was stuck at his waist.
This is enough peace of mind for the time being.
There were indeed two players standing guard at the door. When they saw Han Dongwen coming out, they quickly smiled.
"Is that stranger here?" Han Dongwen said nothing nonsense.
"Sir, he - he will be there for a while, what else do you want to do today? We will accompany you!"
The two players replied with a smile.
As members of the strategy team, these players who are closely united around Qian Xiaoqian naturally have a deep understanding of the essence of playing in the Queyin game.
If you speak more words that suit your identity, you will often be able to have a more in-depth conversation with the NPC.
This view was not only put forward by Qian Xiaoqian, but also Sherlock Hook, a well-known forum dramatist, thinks so.
"Really? That's fine, show me this bloody port, and then tell me carefully why you have such an attitude towards me."
As Han Dongwen said this, he looked around and found Xu Garan.
Presumably she wasn't online at this time, so it was pretty good for her to act alone.
"I was just about to talk to you."
The two players laughed happily and raised their hands behind them: "Sir, why don't you have breakfast first?"
Han Dongwen looked around and found that the Crown of the Dead Arena, which had not opened until the afternoon yesterday, had already put a table of food on the table early in the morning.
This Qian Xiaoqian really knows how to play the game.
Whether it is Tang Xiaobei or Sherlock Hook, they participated in the incident not only because of their identities as strangers, but also as disciples of the sect. They did not transform their relationship and identity with the NPC like Qian Xiaoqian.
Convenient resources in the game.
Han Dongwen sat down at the table, and without any courtesy, he picked up a glass of light fruit wine and poured it down his throat.
A few slices of wheat bread, half a dozen oysters, a glass of fruit wine, fried turtle eggs and bacon sausage, this is a typical Blood Harbor breakfast.
"Sir, just feel free to eat, we definitely didn't do anything!"
The two players said something irritatingly.
Han Dongwen wanted to laugh a little in his heart, but felt that although their tone was sincere, it sounded like there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
But there was no need for him to be wary. Poisoning with alcohol, food, and poison might be useful to other people, but Unit 1 was really just a taste.
"Of course you didn't do anything. If you wanted me dead, you would have started a war with me last night. Now you clearly want me alive."
As Han Dongwen spoke, he picked up half of the lemon in front of him, squeezed it skillfully on the oyster in front of him, then brought it to his mouth, raised his head and sucked it into his mouth.
