It is said that Gong Peiyin was tied up and taken to a nearby ruined temple.There was no Buddha statue in the temple, only a dilapidated altar remained. Zhu Xiu took out a package from behind the altar, and reported to Shu Hui, "Your Highness, there is a border between Huan and Jizhou here, and you need to cross it when you go back to Yue Kingdom." Luo River, not far ahead is Heng Mansion’s trade wharf, we can take a merchant ship back to China, just to avoid trouble, we have to bother His Highness, Young Master, and two ladies to change their clothes." He said and put the clothes in his bag take out.

Shu Hui and the others were all dressed up as businessmen, only Gong Peiyin was forcibly changed into the clothes of servants by Zhu and Yang.Shu Yin couldn't see it, so he asked Shu Hui, "Father, what is wrong with Mr. Gong, and you want to treat him like this?" Shu Hui sneered, "Go and ask him yourself." Shu Yin looked at Gong Peiyin , Gong Peiyin sat on the ground with his hands tied, and said at this moment, "Peiyin really doesn't know where he is wrong." Then he looked at Shuhui and said, "I hope His Highness will make it clear." Shuhui put his hands behind his back and said, "It's a shame that I still respect you as a character. Now that you're pretending to be stupid, let me ask you, when Luo An brought you back to the Dong Mansion, did you sing the folk songs of Qi State along the way?" Pei Yin was taken aback for a moment. He said, "I grew up in Jizhou, so what's so special about knowing a few folk songs of Qi? Could it be that His Highness suspects that I am a spy of Qi country just based on a few songs?" Shu Hui snorted silently.Shu Yin persuaded, "Father, Mr. contributed a lot to us being able to escape from the Mang Kingdom this time, and based on this, he must not be a spy of the Qi Kingdom." Shu Hui scolded, "What do you know!" Pei Yin said, "Do you know who his father is? His father is the Minister of Rituals of Qi State. The son of a Minister of Rituals does not stay at home. He pretends to be a member of the Jizhou tribe and sneaks into the mansion to advise a prince of an enemy country. Said he is loyal, huh, how can I believe it?" Shu Yin was taken aback by the words, and hurriedly asked Gong Peiyin, "Sir, is what my father said true?" Gong Peiyin was exposed, At this time, he did not make any sophistry, and said, "Your Highness, there is something wrong. My father used to be the Minister of Rites of the Qi State, but he was killed by the Prime Minister Bian Wusi. The manager is really a coincidence, if I still remember that I am a citizen of the country of Qi, how can I leave Zhu Wenran behind." After finishing speaking, he knelt down in front of Shu Hui, "If your highness thinks that I have selfish intentions in making suggestions, then the lord does have selfish intentions I just look forward to helping His Highness get an official position in Yue after returning home." Shu Hui squinted at him and said, "In my hands, your selfishness will never come true." As soon as he said that, he waved his hand and shouted Let the people go out of the temple.

After traveling along the Luo River for more than ten miles, I saw a big boat parked on the bank of the river ahead.At that time, the sky was getting dark, and there were two big lanterns hung on the bow of the boat, one was written with Hengfu, and the other with "Commercial".There were several merchants carrying goods on the boat by the river bank, so Zhu Xiu went up to ask one of the merchants to buy a load of silk and satin cloth, and carried it by herself.When Shu Hui and others boarded the ship, the boatman stopped him to inspect the goods, Zhu Xiu gave him another ingot of silver, and ordered, "My master is afraid of noise, so you choose a quiet cabin." The boatman repeatedly said yes, and led Shu Hui Several people went.Yang Shi pulled Zhu Xiu behind him, and said in a low voice, "These villains, there's no need to give them too much money." Zhu Xiu just smiled.

Entering a cabin, there are four tables inside, only one of which is for two people.One has a thin beard, about 30 years old, and the other has white hair and a beard, holding a feather fan in his hand. Both of them are wearing business hats.Yang Shi wanted to go forward to chase him away, but Shu Hui stopped him and said, "Don't make trouble." After speaking, he sat down at a table by the window, and Zhu Xiu, Yang Shi and others sat at another table.Not long after, the boatman came in and brought tea and snacks.I only heard the young businessman ask, "Boatman, when can this boat leave?" The boatman hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and arched, "Master, we are going to set off tonight." The young man said again, "It was like this the day before yesterday and yesterday. Said, boatman, didn’t you deliberately procrastinate and try to plant a few more people.” The boatman hurriedly said, “You don’t know something, but the middle of the Luo River and the shore have two different climates. The river has experienced strong winds and heavy rain for the past two days. , the boats sailing in the rain are halfway back. What's more, this is a merchant ship from Chaozhong, and we all eat official meals. It doesn't make any difference to take one more person or one less." The young man sneered, "Eat There is no difference in the meals, so the rewards can be a few more." He said and glanced at Shu Hui and others, "I told you not to lead people into this cabin, why didn't you listen, or did you think we gave too much rewards? Less?" Yang Shi saw that Shu Hui was still drinking tea by himself, so he held back and didn't have an attack.The boatman is obedient and just apologizes.Instead, the old man at the side came forward to stop him, and he waved his fan and said slowly, "Forget it, since you're here, it's fine, it's fate to be able to walk together for half a month." Said Bi Chaoshuhui and others arched their hands, Shuhui pretended not to see, But Shu caused him to return the gift.

The boatman was about to go, Zhu Xiu shouted, "Boatman, take this man to the tent and lock him up, don't teach him to run away." Saying that, he pushed Gong Peiyin.Shu Yin wanted to stop him, but when he saw Shu Hui staring at him, he dared not speak.The boatman smiled obsequiously and came to lead Peiyin, and said, "Master, the bottom of this canopy will get flooded in case of heavy rain. I'm afraid I'll lock people inside..." Zhu Xiudao, "If you are told to go, go, this man stole my master. We caught the silver, how dare such a thief put it in the cabin, take it down quickly." The boatman nodded hurriedly.

Two red candles were lit in the cabin, and the boatman passed on the dinner. After the meal was over, Shu Hinoki waited until he had finished eating. Because there were others around, he didn't talk too much, so he called the boatman to boil water to wash his face, and then he blew out the candles and went to sleep one after another.But Shu Yin was still thinking about Gong Peiyin, and while the rest of the people were asleep in the middle of the night, he pretended to have a urination, sneaked out of the cabin, and woke up the boatman to deliver meals to Gong Peiyin.The boatman was very unhappy because his dream was disturbed, so he just made a bowl of cold rice with tea and sent it to Pengdi.At this time, the boat had set sail, and it was raining rustlingly in the air, and the rain was hitting the canopy very lively.Pei Yin counted the sound of the rain and didn't expect anyone to come. Seeing the boatman coming with a candle, he hurriedly got up.The boatman put the food on the ground and left, Pei Yin called out, "Boatman, please untie the rope for me kindly, or I won't be able to eat even if there is food." Seeing the boatman hesitated, he said, "The door is closed. Lock it, and you don’t have to worry about me escaping, not to mention where can I escape in this big river and flood.” The boatman then untied the rope for him, and locked two more locks on the door when he left.Pei Yin took a few mouthfuls of the bowl and ate it up. Hearing the sound of the rain outside the canopy getting louder, he remembered what the boatman said that the place would get flooded in case of heavy rain, so he put a disused springboard on both ends of the canopy, and he sat on it and played. The bomb does not break.Pei Yin slept on the diving board all night and did not dare to turn over. In the morning, he was woken up by the rain that leaked in. He stepped on the ground and stepped on the water. It turned out that there was a lot of rain when he was asleep, and the shaggy bottom was already covered. It was half submerged.

At noon, the rain stopped slightly, but the wind was still strong, the sails on the ship had been furled, and several sailors were swaying the oars against the wind.After Shu Hui finished his meal, he went to the deck to enjoy the air because of the sweltering heat in the cabin, followed by Zhu Xiu and Yang Shi.Shu couldn't get out, so he stayed with Dong and Wushuang in the cabin. Dong and Shao had nothing to do, so they asked the boatman to borrow a set of needles and threads, and began to embroider on the load of fabric they bought.Shu Yin looked really boring, and wanted to visit Pei Yin in Pengdi, but was afraid that Shu Hui would find out and scold him, so he had no choice but to go to Hu Zhanlai instead.

Hu Zhan was born as a martial artist and worked under Zhen Sibo's sect. The relationship between master and servant was very clear. He would never dare to sit when his master was standing, and he would never initiate a conversation without asking questions.Now Shu Yin is chatting with him, he also asks a question and answers, after talking a few times, Shu Yin yawns.Shu Yin ordered, "I'll sleep for a while, you go with my father." Hu Zhan said, "I need to wait on the young master and wife here." Shu Yin said, "You can stay here if you want, as long as you don't stand by me. Come forward, and cover the light above my head." Hu Zhan answered yes, and stood behind Dong and the others with his hands behind his back.

Shu Yin rolled twice on the bamboo bed, then fell asleep in a daze.The boat swayed on the water, shaking his mind so that his mind was confused, he only felt his body going to the front for a while, and then to the right again. He was awakened, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the sky was already dark, but the cabin was not lit, and there was no one in the dim cabin.The cabin door was rattled by the strong wind outside, and Shu was amazed, so he was going to look outside the cabin, but when he opened the door, the strong wind poured into the cabin as if he was about to be blown up, overturning the inside. tables and chairs.Shu led against the wind and went to the deck, only to see a mess on the deck, the goods of those merchants had been blown into a mess, and the boatman, sailors and merchants were all missing, and when he looked up, he saw a black mass on the top of his head. The dark clouds were so low that they almost covered the boat, Shu Yin felt anxious, so he shouted a few times, but he could only use his voice but couldn't make a sound.He thought, this is weird, maybe he's dumb, and on second thought, he didn't even know how he got on the boat, and he was still playing chess in Wen Ran's room... But what about Wen Ran?Shu Yin searched around and couldn't find Zhu Wenran, so he panicked even more, sweating anxiously, and said that after finishing, Wenran must have been blown away by the strong wind.Thinking of this, I couldn't help crying bitterly, and the throat that couldn't make a sound just now also let out a mournful sob.

Shu Yin was crying so sadly, but he didn't know who was behind him and patted him on the shoulder.He raised his head suddenly and woke up, it was actually a dream.Seeing Wushuang and Dong Shi all leaning in front of him, without waiting for them to ask, Shu Yin wiped his face and got ready, but when he touched it, it was full of tears, Shu Yin was startled, it turned out that he had fallen asleep, Actually took the dream as reality.He smiled at the two of them, and said, "It's strange, I actually broke out in a sweat." After speaking, he got up, avoided everyone and went to the deck.There were merchants, sailors, and boatmen on the deck, and they were bustling with each other.It's just that Shu Yin couldn't get away from the emotion in the dream for a while, and missed Wen Ran facing the water, and shed tears again unconsciously.

In the middle of the Luohe River, as the boatman said, there are no sunny days, two or three cloudy days, and the rest are mostly rainy days.Gong Peiyin was imprisoned in Pengdi for half a month, and his legs were white and swollen from the rain. When he landed, the boatman came to pick him up. Peiyin could barely walk and had to be supported to get on the deck.When Shu introduced him to describe him as thin and messy hair, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and stepped forward to help Pei Yin.

Shu Yin supported Pei Yin to fall behind the crowd.When Shu Hui and the others went ashore, they saw Zhen Sibo waiting on the shore with two teams of men and horses.Zhu and Yang went forward and led people to block off the merchants who disembarked, leaving a way.Zhen Sibo and the crowd knelt down and shouted, "Welcome His Highness the Crown Prince to return home!" The guards behind him held up the yellow dragon pennant, and the musicians and drummers blared loudly.Shu Hui was stunned, and his heart was very excited. He thought that he had endured humiliation in the country for nearly 20 years, and now he has finally returned to his homeland. From then on, he no longer needs to be controlled by others, and he no longer needs to accept a traitor as a king. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly surrender Wipe away tears.

Shu Hui went to Zhen Sibo to help him up, and said, "Prime Minister, quickly excuse yourself." The two looked at each other with their hands raised, and they hadn't seen each other for nearly 20 years, and their faces were already old. Zhen Sibo wiped his tears and said, " Your Highness has been suffering for more than ten years, so let me wait here." These words were on Shu Hui's heart, and he couldn't help but turn red when he heard it, and asked, "How are Mrs. Cuizhen and Rong'er?" Zhen Sibo seemed Just remembered, wiped his face, and said, "Hey, I forgot." Then he shouted behind him, "Rong'er, why haven't you come to see your father?" At this time, Shu Yin just helped Gong Peiyin to catch up, I saw a man with a round body emerge from the person, the man knelt down in front of Shu Hui, and shouted, "Father, my child kowtowed to you." bye.Shu Hui hurriedly helped him up, took his hand to look left and right, kept nodding his head, and said, "I don't think Rong'er has grown up so much." Shu Rong wept, and said, "Father is not by my side. Both the child and the mother were concerned about their father day and night. When the child was young, whenever he saw a child from another family led by his father, he would ask his mother where his father had gone. Whenever this happened, his mother would cry. Later, the child understood that it turned out that his father He suffered for the country and the people." Shu Hui wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said, "It's been hard for you all these years without me. I remember that when I led the army, you were still drinking milk in the nurse's arms. I hugged you and said that I would teach you how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow when I come back, but I just thought that it will last more than ten years, and I don’t need me to teach you after all.” As they spoke, the two hugged their heads and cried.Shu Rong cried passionately, and spoke intermittently, "In the past few years... thanks to the prime minister's care." Zhen Sibo immediately said, "Master, Mrs. Cuixi is the daughter of Sibo, and the son is Sibo's grandson. , and Si Bo is His Royal Highness's courtier, and it is his duty to take care of Mrs. Cuiqian and the young master." He said, "Your Highness has a deep relationship with the young master and his son, and the true teaching viewers shed tears." After finishing speaking, he raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes.

Shu Hui cried for a while, thinking of Shu Yin and the others, because he had not yet asked the King of Yue for the identities of Dong Shi and Wu Shuang, so he only called Shu Yin at this moment.Shu Rong had already heard about the fact that Shu Hui had another son in Manguo, and just now when he and Shu Hui were embracing and crying, they also saw Shu Yin and several people, and counting Shu Yin's age in his heart, he knew who it was.Shu Hui said, "Yin'er, this is your elder brother Shu Rong, come and pay your respects soon." Then Shu Yin came forward reluctantly, put his hands on his chest, bowed respectfully and said, "Shu Yin has seen the elder brother Brother." Although Shu Rong is two years older than Shu Yin, he is half a head shorter than him, and his long, broad face and thick eyebrows are far less delicate than Shu Yin's.At this moment, seeing that Shu Yin looked haggard and dressed in rough clothes, but his demeanor and appearance were several times better than his own, he felt unhappy, and Shu Yin bowed to him, but he only squinted at him, and agreed, in his words and gestures There is no brotherly kindness at all.Shu Hui didn't take it seriously, took the hands of the two of them, and said, "Although you two are brothers, you have never met before. There will inevitably be gaps in getting along in the future, but I still hope that you can see each other for the sake of blood and friendship." Treat each other with sincerity, love and help each other. Yin'er grew up beside me, I know his temperament well, if there are any irregularities in the future, Rong'er, you, as an elder brother, will teach him for me." When it came to this point Shu Rong couldn't refuse, so he had to say, "It will definitely be good to my brother." After hearing this, Shu Yin couldn't help but sneak a glance at Shu Rong.

A few people got into the sedan chair, and a group of people set off again.After traveling for more than ten days, I arrived at the capital of Yue State.Shu Hui thought that he had absconded and returned to the country this time, and it was not appropriate to make it public, so he stopped the drums outside the city, lowered the flag, and entered the city without disturbing the officials, and the four-person sedan chair was replaced by a red woolen sedan chair carried by two people. , leaving Zhu, Yang, and Hu by their side, Zhen Sibo and Shu Rong went back to the Prince's Mansion to prepare.

Shu Yintou entered Qifang for the second time, although he also grew up in the capital city, the prosperity of this place is different from Yu Huan.Most of Yuhuan is built from a high-rise building, and once you enter Yuhuan, you will know its extraordinary momentum, while its squares are elegant and restrained everywhere. There are moats around the city, and there are mostly small paint houses in the city, and there are many stone bridges. There are small shops on both sides of the street. There are few carts, but many push carts. In June, the weather is hot and dry, and the cart vendors put handkerchiefs on their shoulders or around their waists, and wiped their sweat while selling.Shu Yin looked amused, and put his head out of the sedan chair.But I didn't want the bearer who carried the sedan chair to leave in a hurry, and knocked over the stall selling sesame seed cakes, and the vendor refused to let him go.It was very interesting for Shu Yin to sit in the sedan chair and listen to the two quarreling, so he didn't rush to leave.Zhu Xiu stepped forward and paid the money before getting up again.
