Chapter 222 Ningzhou Watching the Tide and Seeking the Moon
"I don't know why, but I always feel that the atmosphere lately is weird."
After getting up and freshening up, Zhao Xun ate breakfast while complaining to the little fat man Wangcai.
"Although the Luzhou army has now entered Ningzhou City, my eyelids are always twitching and I don't know what is going on."
Zhao Xun's judgment is never wrong. He once laughed at himself as the most accurate practitioner of the sixth sense.
Wangcai stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth and chewed it with great enjoyment.
“Uh, uh, it smells so good”
Seeing that all his thoughts were on cooking, Zhao Xun rolled his eyes at him angrily and said, "You kid, don't think only about eating. Help me think about what went wrong."
"What went wrong?"
Wangcai swallowed the bun, burped, then scratched his head and said, "How can I think of something that even Brother Mingyun can't figure out."
"That's all..."
Zhao Xun shook his head and did not force Wangcai any more.
There is a specialization in the art industry, but it is really not easy to make money in this area.
"By the way, Brother Mingyun, I heard that tomorrow is the day of the big tide. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Watching the ocean tide has always been a very important activity in Ningzhou.
Many people from other counties will rush to Ningzhou City before the tide just to see this grand scene.
But for Zhao Xun, he was actually not very interested.
Because he had watched the tide a lot in his previous life, he no longer found it strange.
In addition, he now lives in a world of practitioners.
In the world of practitioners, it is not difficult to move mountains and seas, and there is nothing surprising about big tides.
"What, do you want to go see it?"
Zhao Xun saw through Wangcai's thoughts at a glance and directly pointed out the truth.
"Ahem, cough, cough, how does Brother Mingyun know?"
Wangcai scratched his head in embarrassment.
"You, I still can't understand your thoughts?"
Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said calmly: "Actually, it's not that I can't go. It's just that I am an imperial envoy now. Will going to watch the tide at this time cause any criticism?"
With the change of identity, Zhao Xun now has more things to consider.
He not only has to consider his own decision, but also the possible consequences of making this decision.
What would the common people think? What would the officials think? What would the gentry think? What would the practitioners think?
All these combined may even affect the decision Zhao Xun makes.
"Why are you afraid of these?"
Wangcai said indifferently: "You are the imperial envoy, and they should listen to you. Besides, you just went to watch the tide, and you didn't do anything bad. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
He really just went to watch the trend. Even if the imperial censor wanted to impeach him, he probably wouldn't be able to do so.
And after getting along with each other for such a long time, Zhao Xun actually had a clear and thorough understanding of these censors.
Although these guys appear to be unafraid of the powerful and unyielding, in fact they are just looking at what is being done.
With the strength Zhao Xun has shown so far, unless they have huge information, it is impossible to offend Zhao Xun and impeach him.
"In that case, I will accompany you to watch the tide."
Zhao Xun smiled lightly and said, "You can arrange this matter."
"Very good."
Wangcai excitedly waved his fists
Early the next morning, Zhao Xun and others went to the outside of Ningzhou City with Wangcai to watch the tide.
Ningzhou is close to the sea, so of course there are tidal flats, beaches, rocks and other landforms.
Every year during the spring tide in Ningzhou, the sea area near the reef is filled with people who come to watch the tide.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that there were more people than I thought. It's so crowded that I don't even have a place to stay."
Wangcai was very excited when he saw such a prosperous scene.
Seeing Wangcai like this, Zhao Xun was like a child, dumbfounded.
Of course, Zhao Xun was an imperial envoy, so they had to have someone clear the way when they traveled to watch the tide.
Even though Zhao Xun stated in advance that he would not disturb the people, the government officials still cleared the way in advance and reserved a passage for Zhao Xun and other officials to come.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, are you still obedient these days?"
Governor Wan seized the opportunity and took the initiative to inquire about Zhao Xun.
"Well, your son is very obedient and very smart."
Zhao Xun understood very well why Governor Wan arranged for his second son to be by his side.
He wanted to use this opportunity to help his son get gold.
Poor parents in the world, even Wan Jishi couldn't find any fault in doing this.
"That's good, that's good. The dog is still young, so please bear with me if he is not sensible. You don't have to worry about me. Just discipline me where I need to. It's up to you whether to beat or scold me."
Good guy.
Zhao Xun thought to himself that Wan Cishi was really hardworking.
In order to train my son, this is simply a managed education.
But the question is whether Zhao Xun should charge him a certain training fee.
"Don't worry, your son is very smart. I will train him well."
I have to say that Wan Yan is indeed very clever.
It is not easy for a child of this age to do this.
Zhao Xun also really needs a book boy, so this can be regarded as everyone getting what he needs.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy. Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy please."
Wan Cishi bowed slightly and extended his invitation with one arm.
Zhao Xun stepped forward and headed towards Tingchao Pavilion.
Tingchao Pavilion was built high on the sea cliff and has been around for nearly a hundred years.
The terrain here is the highest and has always been the best place for dignitaries to watch the tide.
After Zhao Xun and others arrived, dozens of people packed the already small tide-watching pavilion to the brim.
"Your Majesty, please ask them to leave."
Wan Cishi asked tentatively.
"No need, since we are here to watch the tide, we can all watch the excitement together."
Zhao Xun actually didn't have so many bureaucratic thoughts. If he hadn't taken into account his status as an imperial envoy, he could even eat and live with the soldiers.
"Brother Mingyun, look at the tide!"
At this moment Wangcai suddenly shouted loudly.
"oh?"
Zhao Xun turned around to look, and sure enough he saw a white dot appearing at the junction of sea and sky in the distance.
The white dot got bigger and bigger, and finally connected into a line.
This was not his first time watching the tide, so he seemed very calm.
But it was obvious that Wangcai couldn't contain his excitement when he saw this big scene for the first time.
All the muscles in his body began to tremble, and a smile filled his cheeks.
"The tide is coming, the tide is really coming."
Wangcai's mood is understandable. Ordinary people will feel the magic of nature when they see the tide. Wangcai is not a practitioner and has not realized the power of practitioners. He still has enough respect for nature.
But some top practitioners can move mountains and seas by their own strength, which is another matter.
At this scene, Zhao Xun couldn't help but become interested and wanted to compose a poem.
