There was a voice behind the three of them, and when they looked back, it was Zhang Wenrui who had quietly touched them.
"What's going on?"
Princess Xiyun asked.
Zhang Wenrui shook his head: "The port is blocked and no ships are allowed in or out."
Princess Xiyun panicked: "What should we do?"
Zhang Wenrui thought for a while, clenched his fists and stamped his feet, as if he had made a lot of determination: "Let's go!"
"Where to go?"
Princess Xiyun followed Zhang Wenrui and asked.
Zhang Wenrui didn't answer, and led the three of them to an open space in the bushes, which was a grave.
"Who...is this?"
Princess Xiyun was confused.
Zhang Wenrui shook his head: "It's not who it was, it was the boat I took when I came back from Hell's Corner. I decided not to go to sea again, so I buried the boat."
Zhang Wenrui spread his hands, smiled bitterly, and said: "Start digging!"
Lin Xiaodong and the others used their swords to dig graves.
Suddenly, the lights were brightly lit in the forest. Lin Xiaodong looked up and saw twenty or thirty people holding torches and rushing toward the four of them, shouting: "Foreigners should not leave!"
Zhang Wenrui panicked: "Hurry and dig!"
Several people sped up their movements, and Gao Zhengping's people surrounded them with torches. Gao Zhengping walked slowly over, pointed at Zhang Wenrui and smiled grimly: "You are Shi Chong's friend. You are driving a small boat at the port in the middle of the night. What do you want to do? Do you think I am?"
Don’t you know?”
Zhang Wenrui suddenly realized: "Have you suspected me for a long time?"
Gao Zhengping laughed so hard that his whole body trembled: "You fooled me once, and you want to fool me twice?
Zhang Wenrui, you are harboring foreigners, this is a capital crime of beheading!"
Zhang Wenrui panicked, grabbed Lin Xiaodong's sword and started digging.
Gao Zhengping took his time and mocked Zhang Wenrui: "Just dig it!"
Lin Xiaodong curled his lips and smiled: "You take care of it."
With a stamp of his feet and a roar, the sand exploded, and a group of vines emerged from the soil holding a small boat.
Lin Xiaodong looked at the small canoe, tilted his head and asked Zhang Wenrui: "Is this the only boat you want to go to Hell's Corner?"
Zhang Wenrui shrugged and nodded: "I was young then..." Gao Zhengping suddenly panicked: "Catch them! Don't let them run away!"
Lin Xiaodong stamped his foot, and with a bang, a vine wall rose up in front of everyone.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Lin Xiaodong and four others carried the boat into the water.
"Hahahaha! The fish has entered the sea!"
Zhang Wenrui flipped onto the boat and raised his head to show his fingers.
Gao Zhengping and others cut down the vines and came to the beach. The boat had already gone far.
"Catch me!" Gao Zhengping held his stomach and stretched his neck, speaking in a hoarse voice.
Zhang Wenrui laughed heartily: "Are they just those crappy boats trying to catch up with me?"
Lin Xiaodong and the others finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Wenrui asked Lin Xiaodong: "Have you found the Deep Sea Dragon Palace?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Found it."
"What kind?"
Lin Xiaodong looked at Princess Xiyun and said, "It's the princess's palace. It's in a cave under the sea. It's very big and gorgeous."
"Are there any gold or silver treasures?"
Zhang Wenrui's eyes lit up.
Lin Xiaodong smiled, reached into his pocket, grabbed a handful of gems, and handed it to Zhang Wenrui: "This is your reward!"
"Oh my god..." Zhang Wenrui held the gem in both hands and opened his mouth, saliva dripping out.
"I will never smoke fish again! Oh oh oh oh!"
Lin Xiaodong and the other two laughed loudly.
The boat sailed for midnight, and the time came to the darkest stage before dawn. Zhang Wenrui stayed up late to sail the boat, Princess Xiyun and Bai Yuquan were asleep, and Lin Xiaodong was practicing.
Suddenly, there was a thud and something fell into the water.
Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes and tilted his head to look: "What is it?"
Zhang Wenrui didn't take it seriously: "Fish."
Lin Xiaodong shook his head and tightened his grip on the sword hilt.
"Danger!"
Lin Xiaodong's ears twitched, and he suddenly drew his sword and cut off an arrow with a clang.
"ah?
arrow?
Oh no! It’s the eldest son’s warship!”
Zhang Wenrui was so frightened that his face turned pale at that moment. He took out his telescope and looked at it. The sea was so foggy that he could barely see a few dark figures.
"It's over, it's over! Our little boat can't outrun a warship!"
Zhang Wenrui was so frightened that he put his hands in his hair.
Princess Xiyun and Bai Yuquan were also awakened. Princess Xiyun asked: "Didn't you say that even the warships can't catch up with you?"
"That must be my big boat! How can this small boat run away!"
Zhang Wenrui held his head and rolled his eyes back and forth, then suddenly looked at Lin Xiaodong and asked: "Do you still have the Haining beads I gave you?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled: "Yes, and we also brought some good things from the sea."
Lin Xiaodong gave both Haining Pearl and Ye Mingzhu to Zhang Wenrui.
Zhang Wenrui straightened his eyes, then suddenly jumped up, grabbed Lin Xiaodong's arm and said excitedly: "Do you know what this is?
This is the Breathing Water Pearl! The treasure of the Dragon Clan! We are saved!"
"Watch it carefully!"
Zhang Wenrui held the Breathing Water Drops in his hands and began to close his eyes and recite the mantra.
Suddenly, their boat was lifted a little.
The boat didn't have a deep draft, so after being lifted up, it floated directly in the air.
Crash, clatter! The warship was getting closer and closer, and the boat gradually fell into the attack range of the bow and arrow. When Zhang Wenrui saw this, he stretched out his hand: "Let's go!"
The boat suddenly accelerated, leaving the warship far behind.
The eldest son was also on the boat, watching the boat disappear into the mist: "Damn it! -" Shortly after dawn, Zhang Wenrui finally brought Lin Xiaodong and the others to the shore, which was also a small fishing village with only a few families.
The feeling of stepping on land again was incredible. Lin Xiaodong closed his eyes, feeling the sea breeze and the rising sun.
"I'm going to find Shi Chong and the others. Let's just say goodbye."
Zhang Wenrui bowed his hands and said goodbye.
Lin Xiaodong nodded and smiled: "Tell Shi Chong and the others that I will go visit them later."
"Oh, by the way, this is for you. With a treasure like this, you can go to sea again in the future."
Lin Xiaodong gave the breath water beads to Zhang Wenrui.
Zhang Wenrui took it, nodded, and suddenly spread his hands and laughed: "Why do you want to go to sea if you are rich?
Give it to Shi Chong and the others, hahahaha!"
Zhang Wenrui laughed and left.
Lin Xiaodong looked at Princess Xiyun and Bai Yuquan. Bai Yuquan stood aside and said, "My daughter is waiting for me to go back. Let's just say goodbye."
"Senior Bai..." Princess Xiyun walked up, her eyes red and somewhat reluctant to leave.
Lin Xiaodong nodded vigorously: "Senior Bai, take care!"
Bai Yuquan reached out and pinched Lin Xiaodong's arm: "Take care!"
Bai Yuquan also left, leaving only Lin Xiaodong and Princess Xiyun.
Princess Xiyun lowered her head as she faced Lin Xiaodong and asked, "Are you leaving too?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "I won't leave. I want to go with you. I want to go with you to see the king."
Princess Xiyun raised her head and eyebrows happily: "Really?"
Lin Xiaodong was not happy: "Before Cai Cai died, she asked me to see the king and said he would tell me everything."
Princess Xiyun stopped smiling: "Okay, let's go then. Let's go to Yanning City first, and let the Lord of Yanning City prepare the carriage and take us back to the capital."
The two went to Yanning City, and then set off from Yanning to the Imperial City.
A few days later, at the south gate of the imperial city, the emperor's guard of honor, civil and military ministers, respectfully welcomed the princess.
