Chapter 818: Across the Ocean to Rescue You

Gillian's disappearance caused a commotion in the Xu family. They went out all over the city to search, but there was no trace. No one knew where the girl had gone. At this time, Xu Zizhen had already run away.

.

Xu Zizhen didn't care whether the news brought by Wu Shu was true or false, because no matter it was true or false, as long as it was Rong Xi's whereabouts, he would definitely investigate to the end, not to mention that Wu Shu didn't need to use this excuse to trick him into leaving.

Shangjing is the capital of the Jin people. Killing it alone is no different than seeking death. But even if he dies, he has to turn the place upside down first. There is one thing he can't figure out. Wu Shu must also know this. Why is it like this?

Telling him this news kindly, isn't he afraid that his emperor will get into trouble?

Xu Zizhen has an advantage, that is, he can leave things he can't figure out and think about them first. The most important thing at the moment is to get to Beijing as soon as possible. The founding of the Jin Dynasty did not take long, but it is not easy to enter the palace. You must first

It took a while to plan, February 12th, there was still less than a month and a half left, and what he was afraid of was that he would not be able to make it in time.

He was riding Xu Shiqi's horse now. He was going to Beijing to escape death. He was reluctant to let Xiao Baicai accompany him on the adventure. He changed horses with Xu Shiqi outside the city and left without any delay. However, after running for only half a day, he

I regretted it. Xu Zizhen's horse's teeth were too big. It couldn't run even before it got dark. White foam was spraying from its nostrils and its feet were wilted. Xu Zizhen estimated that if he kept running like this, the horse would be dead within ten miles.

hang.

The more urgent it is, the more likely things will go wrong. Xu Zizhen had no choice but to stop and take off the bridle to let the horse rest for a while. There is no village or shop here. It is impossible to buy a replacement horse now. He can only wait for the animal to rest enough.

Go again.

He rested like this for half an hour before setting off on the road, walking for a while and resting, until daybreak, when he finally saw the outline of a city. Xu Zizhen let out a long sigh, not because he could buy a horse, but because he had arrived in Xuzhou.

Xu Zizhen had already planned his route when he decided to go to Beijing. Taking the land route was not possible. The land to the north of Yingtian Mansion was almost the territory of the Jin people. Even if he could pass countless levels carefully, it would still be too time-consuming.

So he decided to go to Xuzhou first, and then take the canal from the waterway to the border of Shandong. When he arrived in Qingzhou, he crossed the Bohai Sea and headed north. As long as he landed on the shore, he would be the hometown of the Jin people, and he would be in Beijing in minutes.

He was lucky. As soon as he arrived at the canal, he saw a ship loading goods. Seeing that the draft was very deep and almost full, Xu Zizhen went over to strike up a conversation. When he asked, he was going to Yanjin, that is, at that time.

In Tianjin, Xu Zizhen immediately offered the shipowner twenty taels of silver to take a section of the ship and disembark in Yanzhou. The shipowner was surprised. These days, only people from the north fled to the south, but this man was in a hurry to go north.

, how strange.

But when the two silver ingots were actually stuffed into his hands, the shipowner didn't think about anything. He was a businessman, and twenty taels of silver was almost enough to buy a small sampan. He took this man downwind for a while.

It doesn't matter, but the boat won't leave yet because today is New Year's Eve.

Xu Zizhen spent his second year in this era, and it was said to be much better than last year. He was also on the road during the last New Year, but he was actually running for his life, and this time he finally had someone to have a reunion dinner with him.

, although he didn’t know any of this group of people.

Xu Zizhen didn't dare to drink when he was alone outside. Although he was very skilled and had a great capacity for drinking, he was cautious about sailing a boat that lasted ten thousand years, so he hurriedly finished the New Year's Eve dinner and got into the cabin.

In the next few days, he stayed in the cabin. The Jin soldiers also had bayonet points for the waterway, but they were obviously not as rigorous as the land route. Moreover, the ship owner had been doing this business all year round, and the Jin soldiers at each bayonet actually

They were all familiar with each other, and with plenty of "tolls" stuffed into them, Xu Zizhen managed to get through without any danger.

A few days later, when they arrived at the boundary of Yanzhou, the ship docked to replenish water and food. Xu Zizhen also thanked the owner and got off the ship.

At this time, Xu Zizhen was completely different from a few days ago. When he was on the boat, he exchanged his satin jacket for the clothes of a waiter.

It was broken, but it was white after washing, and it was still patched in many places. Xu Zizhen picked up a pole from nowhere and turned into a poor porter that can be seen everywhere in Shandong.

After another two days of traveling, we finally arrived in Qingzhou. Xu Zizhen was in good physical condition, but even after two days of walking, his legs were sore and he had big blisters under his feet. Fortunately, he was close to reaching his destination.

The land is not far away, at least Xu Zizhen thinks so, because the calm Bohai Bay is right in front of him.

Night had come, Xu Zizhen took a deep breath of air, and the moist and salty feeling filled his nasal cavity. A beautiful face seemed to vaguely appear in the distant sky, and those aura eyes were the most beautiful in the night sky.

The two bright stars.

Rong Xi, wait for me! I will come across the ocean to rescue you!

Xu Zizhen silently recited the name that made him think about it day and night, then walked around and touched it.

The New Year has passed, but there are no fishing boats out yet. The bay is deserted, and the moonlight shines on the rows of boats docked on the shore. They are all dark and no one is around.

Xu Zizhen's heart suddenly cooled down. He realized that he had missed the most critical thing. No fishermen would go to sea this season. This meant that his hope of going to Beijing by sea was in vain. Did he have to turn back again?

Isn’t it possible to take a detour overland to get to Beijing?

He stayed at the beach for a long time, feeling furious. He really couldn't steal a boat and go there by himself. Even if the boat capsizes, he would still have to swim there. I just don't know if there are any sharks here. By the way, I don't know if sharks hibernate.

After making a decision in his mind, Xu Zizhen walked to the shore in the dark and looked around for an easy boat. Such a boat was actually difficult to find, and it couldn't be too small. If it was small, it would turn over quickly, but it couldn't be too big, which would make him

It is impossible for one person to control it. I looked left and right for a long time and still couldn't find a boat that I liked.

While he was anxious, suddenly a human voice seemed to be heard in the distance. Xu Zizhen was startled and quickly found a dark place to hide.

Not long after, a few people came from a distance, arm-in-arm, and humming a ditty that Xu Zizhen had never heard before. They were babbling and they didn't know what they were singing. They were holding lanterns in their hands, and their steps were a little staggering.

, it looked like he had drunk a lot, and Xu Zizhen felt unhappy. He just hoped that these drunkards would die away quickly so that he could continue to look for the boat. However, it backfired, and those people just came to where he was hiding.

Damn it, come here again and I will pretend to be a water ghost and scare you bastards to death!

Xu Zizhen's thoughts just came to his mind when he heard one of them saying drunkenly: "Those little girls in Xinghua Tower are so... so cool. How about we go there tomorrow?"

Another person sneered: "I'm going back to Jinzhou tomorrow. What the hell, I'm not afraid that the young master will skin you alive."

The man from before burped and said in a daze: "Are you going back tomorrow? I thought it was the day after tomorrow, then... then go to sleep quickly."

A few people talked and came to a large ship and stumbled onto the ship. After a while, the lights on the ship lit up, and a flag on the bow of the ship was vaguely illuminated. There were several Jurchen characters written on it, and they didn't know what it was.

What.

Xu Zizhen's cold heart suddenly became hot again, because he heard two words - Jinzhou.
