Chapter 73: The subordinates are incompetent and dare not snatch the things from King Ji
Ye Yining knew that the three ships could not carry everyone, so she looked back specifically.
Only then did she discover that Jun Jiuji and her eldest brother had made four bamboo rafts at some point and followed closely behind the three awning boats.
In this way, Ye Yining and his crew only carried six people on board.
Not long after the boat sailed, Ye Yining saw the boat of the Crown Prince of Xiliang and the Third Prince of Nanyin Kingdom.
There were only eight people in Xiliang, so they used the boat sold to them by Su Yuer and others.
The third prince of Nanyin Kingdom used a boat that the shipbuilder from Xiliang had barely built in the past two days.
Several ships met, everyone chatted briefly and then went on their way quietly.
Yun Lai couldn't sit still, so he kept cooking food at the stern of the boat.
So everyone on Ye Yining's side had enough to eat before the sun went down.
After eating, I gained strength, and the rowers were all masters of martial arts. The boat sailed very fast. When it got dark, I actually caught up with the prince, the third prince and others who had set off a long time ago.
Su Yuer was originally secretly happy because Ye Yining was still stranded in that abandoned city, but she didn't expect that not long after, they were chasing her.
What's even more annoying is that Ye Yining's boat is better and bigger than hers.
Moreover, they had food on board, and she could smell the aroma from a distance.
She shouted almost without thinking, "Ning'er, can you sell me some food?"
She had been relying on her own pills for the past two days, and she ate two pears from Shen Yaozhi in the morning, and now she was extremely hungry.
Ye Yining actually heard Su Yuer's voice, but she had no intention of paying attention.
She had no intention of quarreling with others, and everyone on the ship naturally regarded Su Yuer as nothing.
However, Shen Yaozhi, who was not far away, couldn't help but say, "You were so proud in the morning. You said you had to kowtow and admit your mistake before you boarded the ship. It's strange that people can take care of you now."
After saying that, she shouted to Yun Lai who was sitting in the stern of the boat, "Yun Lai, tell your lady, I want to buy some food with her. When I get back, will she want medicine, silver, or something else?"
It will be all right."
Yun Lai did not disturb his young lady, but turned his head and glanced at Shen Yaozhi, "Miss Shen, my young lady has almost eaten the food she brought with her in the past two days. Today, His Royal Highness Prince Ji and the Young General are in the river.
After we catch the fish, we will eat grilled fish. Why don’t you just hurry up and catch some fish!"
Shen Yaozhi was stunned for a moment, catching fish?
She raised her head and looked at the third prince beside her, "Your Highness, can you catch fish in this river?"
The third prince coughed uncomfortably, "Even if we catch fish, we won't be able to eat it without fire!"
Shen Yaozhi stood up and looked at the stern of Ye Yining's boat.
I found that Yun Lai was lighting a fire in an iron box, and there was a copper kettle on it to boil water.
She thought for a while and asked again: "Do you still have a box like this that can make a fire? Can you sell me one?"
Yun Lai didn't expect that Shen Yao would still give up, so he had to ask his lady what she meant.
Ye Yining looked at Jun Jiuji who was drinking tea and said, "Give her an iron box! Give them two more fish."
Jun Jiuji nodded slightly, and then took out an iron box from the space spirit ring.
Yun Lai put more than half of the box of branches into the box, gave him a small bag of salt, put two fish in a small iron bucket, and asked Ye Ze to deliver it to the third prince.
Seeing Shen Yaozhi getting the iron box, Yun Lai said responsibly, "Miss Shen, we don't have much firewood, we can only give you so much. If it's not enough, you can stop the boat and pick up some by yourself." Come on! Sorry!"
Shen Yaozhi, who was not very good at saying thank you to others, now rarely thanked Yun Lai.
"Thank you, I understand."
Su Yu'er saw that Ye Yining ignored her but gave Shen Yao Zhihuo and the box, and immediately looked at the prince who was sleeping beside him.
She actually knew that the prince was dissatisfied with her these past two days, but she was so cruel that she still shook him awake.
"Your Highness!"
The prince was shaken awake and felt uncomfortable, so his tone was very bad.
"What happened again?"
Su Yuer said with tears in her eyes: "King Ji and the others are chasing after them... They had food, but they only gave it to the third prince, but they didn't think of His Highness at all..."
Her voice was very soft, almost whispering into the prince's ear.
After the prince composed himself, he immediately looked around.
At first, there was only Lao San's boat behind their boat, but now Xiaojiu's boat caught up with them.
Wait, how come Xiaojiu and the others have three ships?
Moreover, their boats are so good.
"Where did their ship come from?"
At this moment, the prince could only see the bamboo raft at the end of King Ji's team, so he asked the third prince who was closest.
The third prince replied lazily: "I don't know. But the iron box is covered with rust. I'm afraid the ship and the iron box were found somewhere near the ruins!"
Speaking of which, Xiaojiu is so smart. Why didn't he think of making a fire on the ship by getting an iron box and placing two stones on it?
When the prince saw that the people on the third prince's side had already started grilling fish, he gritted his teeth and immediately ordered a secret guard to use Qinggong to rush to King Ji's boat and ask him for something.
He is the prince, others can die, but he cannot starve to death in this hellish place.
Ye Yining never thought that the prince would be so shameless. The boat was so big that it was obvious at a glance.
Therefore, the moment Ye Yining opened the fish box, she quietly threw most of the fish into the kitchen, then kept three fish and gave the box and the box to the prince's secret guards.
The secret guard really felt that Princess Ji had done her best, so she went back with the box in her arms.
Unexpectedly, Su Yuer became angry when she saw the thing, "You want the fish, where is the box? Where is the fire?"
The secret guard pointed to the box containing the fish, "This is the only box on Prince Ji's ship, and there are only so many fish left."
"You're stupid, don't they have space rings? You won't ask them for more?" Su Yu'er naturally accused.
The secret guard concealed the darkness in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are incompetent and dare not steal King Ji's space ring."
Su Yu'er suddenly froze.
Is that what she meant?
The prince waved his hand irritably, "Take out the fish, pour out the water, and it will be an iron box that can make a fire. After a while, the boat will sail to the shore and pick up some branches and other things."
"yes."
When the prince slowed down, King Ji in front ordered the boat to speed up.
The night gradually deepens.
Ye Yining asked the embroidery shop to make several small bags with the most transparent yarn, affixed light-focusing charms to several luminous pearls, and hung them on the bow and stern of the boat.
Not to mention, it’s really pretty!
And this light-gathering talisman is really bright when paired with a luminous pearl!
Jun Jiuji curiously looked at the night pearl floating in the wind on the bow of the boat, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Ning'er who was admiring his masterpiece.
"What did Xiao Ning'er just post?"
As soon as the thing was attached, the night pearl was obviously several times brighter than before.
