After sending Yun Jianyue out of the state capital, in front of the door, this young leader of the Taoist sect who came here just to inform Chen Chao of some overseas news remained silent for a moment, but he still said what was in his heart, "Chen Chao, if
Okay, it’s better not to go to sea alone, and even if you go to sea, don’t cause too much trouble.”
He looked at his friend with some worry. Things overseas were too complicated, and he was very afraid that the other person would die overseas.
This worry has nothing to do with anything else, it just stems from the fact that the two of them are friends.
Chen Chao glanced at Yun Jianyue and said honestly, "I can't see anything about this matter now, but maybe it will be a very troublesome matter in a few years. If it can be solved, it can be solved in these two years."
Good, otherwise if it is delayed, it may be a situation that is difficult to recover from."
"It took the imperial court more than two hundred years and the efforts of countless people to completely eliminate the threat from the north. But if there is another threat that is greater and exists, and it can be solved now, why not solve it?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "I have worked hard for so long and done so many things to make this world like this. If someone wants to destroy it, I will be very angry."
Listening to what Chen Chao said, Yun Jianyue didn't know what to say for a moment and just sighed.
Chen Chao smiled and said: "Ah Yue, if I really die outside, the affairs of this land will depend on you."
Yun Jianyue is the master of Chixin Temple, so he can naturally represent the entire Fangwai. As long as he lives, Fangwai will not return to the random people he was before.
Yun Jianyue sighed and suddenly said: "Don't blame me for not going with you?"
Chen Chao clicked his tongue and said, "I know you can't let go of your daughter, so I won't say anything. Besides, even if you want to go, I really can't take you there. If it's Yu Xiyi, that's fine."
Yun Jianyue nodded, but then she remembered something and said seriously: "There is something I have always wanted to ask you."
Chen Chao glanced at him and said nothing. In fact, he guessed something he wanted to ask.
"Is Xilu really dead?"
Yun Jianyue looked into Chen Chao's eyes, but there was nothing aggressive about it, instead it was more searching.
Chen Chao asked: "Why do you ask that?"
"Can you really be cruel enough to kill a girl who likes you? Besides, Xilu doesn't seem to be as scary as her father."
Yun Jianyue was a little curious.
Chen Chao said calmly: "If Xilu is alive, it will always be a hidden danger."
Yun Jianyue kept looking into Chen Chao's eyes, but she could never tell whether his eyes were lying. However, Chen Chao's words were never a direct answer.
"You think you can't hold her down?"
Yun Jianyue waved her hand and stopped asking. Instead, she said, "I wish you good luck."
Chen Chao smiled and nodded.
…
…
After sending Yun Jianyue away, Chen Chao returned to the Yamen of the state capital, where the governor Li Huaixian and others had been waiting for him.
Chen Chao glanced at the high-ranking official of the imperial court and said, "There are some things in the archives, and I took them away. If the imperial court inquires about them later, Governor Li can tell the truth."
Li Huaixian smiled and said: "Your Majesty's words are too polite. These state annals are all backed up. Taking away some of them by your Majesty the Guardian is nothing more than adding to the problem."
Chen Chao nodded. The reason why he said this was naturally because he did not want his parents in Yingzhou to be in trouble.
"In this case, I am about to leave. Before leaving, I still want to say something. Many people in Yingzhou joined the army and many died in the war. After the imperial pension is paid, I hope that Governor Li will not do anything.
Thoughts, otherwise..."
Chen Chao turned around and apologized: "What I said is a bit unpleasant."
Li Huaixian just shook his head seriously and said: "It's only right that the guardian envoy should do this. However, the guardian envoy can say this, but the lower official dare not do it. I just want to say that the pension handled by the lower official will definitely be distributed to everyone.
It belongs to the person who deserves it."
Chen Chao then nodded with satisfaction.
Just when he was about to leave, Governor Li suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Lord Guardian, can you... leave a... calligraphy treasure?"
Chen Chao was a little helpless, "Are you scholars so dirty when you curse others?"
Although he said this, in fact, Chen Chao still left a few words for Governor Li in the end.
When he left the Yamen of the state capital and rushed to the seaside, Chen Chao was even thinking about what Li Huaixian would think when he looked at this calligraphy treasure one day after he completely lost his place in the Liang Dynasty.
It will also be a hot potato at that time.
After thinking wildly along the way, Chen Chao soon arrived at the seaside in the northeast of Yingzhou.
Among the rocks, the young man stood among them, listening to the sound of the waves. It was here last time that he and the girl in white met again. She told him some secrets, but this time, he
I waited here all night but failed to wait until the girl in white appeared again.
When the sky turned white again, Chen Chao stood up and left the reef. In a fishing village on the coast, he found an ordinary fisherman family and bought an old boat.
The dark-skinned middle-aged man looked at the money bag in his hand and couldn't help but ask: "Guest, do you really want to go to sea alone?"
Chen Chao said with a smile: "Maybe we can't go very far. We can just take a walk on the beach and come back."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried: "If you really want to go out to sea farther, you must have a big ship. Otherwise, it will be lifeless if you encounter wind and waves. Such a small boat can only be carried on the sea."
Offshore.”
Chen Chao nodded and originally planned to board the ship and go to sea, but after thinking about it, he still asked with a smile: "Brother, are you having an easy time these days?"
The man who had been exposed to the wind and sun on the sea all year round grinned, showing his big white teeth, "The past few years have been good. The past two years have been a bit difficult, but it is understandable. There is a war in the north, but the government is a good government. After this fight
, this year’s tax will be reduced by half, and next year it will be half as well. Starting from the year after next, we won’t have to pay taxes for three years.”
The man sighed with emotion: "The North has won the battle, and we good young people don't have to fight so hard, and life will get better in the future. It's great."
Chen Chao smiled and said nothing.
The man glanced at him and suddenly asked: "My guest, you can see that he is from a big place. Have you ever been to the gods?"
Chen Chao nodded.
"Speaking of Shendu, when I was young, I wanted to visit it. But at that time, I didn't dare to walk around casually. There were all monsters eating people outside. But now the world is better. I'll wait and see.
In a few years, we can also go and see the city of Gods, but what exactly are the cities of Gods like?"
The man looked longingly.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Well... you can't actually tell me. Once you tell me, you already have an idea in your mind. It's best not to ask anyone and just go and see for yourself."
The man was a little confused when he heard it, but he didn't know why, but he still thought about it and nodded.
The man said: "It would be great if I could meet the legendary guardian envoy when I go to the capital of the gods."
Chen Chao thought for a while and finally choked out a sentence, "Then take a good look at me."
