Gongsun Wen narrowed his eyes and stared at Zheng Yan and Du Changfeng.

Gongsun Wen understood lip reading, and he only heard Du Changfeng "say": "Your Highness, we have been searching for so many days, but still haven't found Ah Man. If there is still no trace of them on this ship, I believe they have escaped from Dayu Kingdom."

Zheng Yan pondered and said nothing.

Du Changfeng continued, "But it seems unlikely that he could have fled to another country in such a short time. Could it be that he hid in some deep mountain forest?"

Zheng Yan shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Father said that as long as Ah Man left Dayu, he would take away the luck that protected him from disaster. Now that father is bedridden, it means Ah Man has left Dayu."

Du Changfeng's face darkened and he said, "If they really escaped from Dayu Country, where do you think they would hide?"

Zheng Yan said: "Teacher and Sister Wushuang have a good relationship. I think they will go to Southern Qin to seek Sister Wushuang's protection."

"Then should our ship continue to head south?" Du Changfeng asked hurriedly.

Zheng Yan shook his head and said, "No need. Brother A'man is still in Dayu. He will not abandon his brother and leave. If this ship does not gain anything, we will return and then announce it to the world. In three days, Zhao Jinping will be executed."

Du Changfeng couldn't help but stare at Zheng Yan's face for a few seconds, then he bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, Your Highness is wise."

Gongsun Wen whispered, "How sinister and despicable."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was startled by me who quietly crawled up to his side.

He rolled his eyes at me and asked, "How did you get up here?"

I leaned over to take a look, but Gongsun Wen immediately held my head down and said, "The Crown Prince and Du Changfeng are here, don't be careless! Du Changfeng has deep internal strength, and he will be able to find us at the slightest sign of trouble."

"Ah, Zheng Yan actually came to arrest me in person." I felt that they were overdoing it.

Gongsun Wen sneered and said, "I heard some explosive news about you. Do you want to hear it?"

When I saw him smile so cunningly, I knew it was no good.

I rolled my eyes and said, "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now."

"How vulgar!" Gongsun Wen could not help but curse again, and then said: "Your Majesty is really sick this time."

I glanced at Gongsun Wen and said, "What does your Majesty's illness have to do with me? Besides, he often feigns illness. I don't believe he is really sick until the day he dies."

Wasn't it enough that I was cheated by Zheng Xian once? I was cheated so much that I almost lost my life!

Gongsun Wen shook his head and said, "If I say it's about you, it must be about you. Now I finally understand why His Majesty is so good to you, and tolerates all your bad tempers. In order to cure you, he did not hesitate to use the national medicine storehouse, and those precious medicinal materials were sent to Chang'an Palace where you lived as if they were free. And those rewards, box after box, any box can make you worry-free for a lifetime."

I looked at Gongsun Wen and asked, "Why is this?"

Gongsun Wen said: "Because you are your majesty's luck."

I have heard such words from Zheng Xian, but I don't believe them.

I turned my head and looked at Zheng Yan. Zheng Yan's every move, every word and every smile were very king-like. I believe that in the near future he will be able to take over the baton from Zheng Xian and become an emperor.

I said, "His Majesty once told me that I was his destiny."

Gongsun Wen smiled coldly and said, "Then do you know that you are his luck to ward off misfortune?"

"What do you mean?" I quickly turned my head and looked at him.

"Get down!" Gongsun Wen suddenly pressed my head down. I was caught off guard and he pressed me directly against the stone. With a "bang", a big bump immediately appeared on my forehead!

I was about to explode with anger when Gongsun Wen whispered, "Stop making noise. The search officers and soldiers are coming out of the boat."

Gongsun Wen released the hand that was pressing on my head, and I quickly looked up. Sure enough, I saw a group of soldiers walking up to Zheng Yan and Du Changfeng and reporting the results of the search.

The distance was too far, and I couldn't hear what they were saying. I could only see their mouths opening and closing. Finally, Zheng Yan walked into the cabin with a gloomy face. Then the government ship pulled back the planks, floated forward for a distance, and then actually moved backwards, which meant that they were preparing to go home.

I looked at the official ship sailing backward and said, "I didn't expect they would leave so easily."

Gongsun Wen said: "They have a trump card to hold you down, so they are not afraid of you running away."

"Ace? What ace?" I asked puzzled.

"Your brother Zhao Jinping is still in the capital. Do you think they will let your brother go?" Gongsun Wen said coldly.

I slapped my head and said, "How could I forget my brother? Is it too late for me to go back and save him now?"

Gongsun Wen said: "The prince said that he will be executed in three days."

"What?" I jumped up in shock and almost fell into the water. Fortunately, Gongsun Wen pulled me up.

"I saved this villain, but he wanted to kill my brother three days later?" I was furious.

Gongsun Wen watched the boat go far away, then he slowly got up and jumped into the boat.

I also got up like him, and Ankang had already stretched out his hand to greet me.

When we got back to the boat, I grabbed Gongsun Wen's robe and said, "Let's go back and rescue my brother right away."

"This is a trap set by the prince for you. Once you go back, you will never be able to escape." Gongsun Wen looked at me and said.

At this time, Yiping seemed to understand something, and quickly took my hand and asked, "Did something happen to my brother?"

I nodded and said, "They arrested my brother to force me to go back."

Yiping looked at me, then at Gongsun Wen, and seemed very embarrassed.

I certainly understood Yiping's dilemma, so I said, "Don't worry, my brother was arrested because of me, so why wouldn't I save him?"

Ankang sat quietly at this time, not daring to row the boat, as if waiting for us to make a decision.

Gongsun Wen glanced at us and said, "You may not have realized what I just said about you being His Majesty's luck in warding off misfortune."

I looked at Gongsun Wen in confusion.

Gongsun Wen continued, "The so-called blocking of bad luck means that you blocked the bad luck for your majesty. You can only bear what you cannot block, so you have to bear it yourself, which is why you have such bad luck."

I finally understand what it means to ward off bad luck!

Zheng Xian just said that I was his luck, and I thought I would bring him good luck, but it turns out I was there to ward off bad luck for him!

No wonder I haven’t had a good day since I came here. Last time, I even lost my soul and almost lost my life.

I gritted my teeth and said, "I was deceived by Zheng Xian again."

Gongsun Wen sneered and said, "Your Majesty will never be kind to someone for no reason, unless he has other intentions."

"I'm so pissed off!" I let go of Gongsun Wen's robe and punched the edge of the boat. The boat shook a few times and Yiping was so scared that he hugged me.
