The most unlucky crossing in history

"I know that the second prince ordered the hidden guards to follow me."

"You know?" Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan, took a sip of tea.

Xie Wenyuan nodded and said: "When Jingzhao came out, someone followed secretly all the time."

Followed since Jingzhao?Zhong Qiyun was startled, so Tan Yuanjin must know everything?

Glancing at Zhong Qiyun, who was a little dazed, Xie Wenyuan had a smile in his eyes, and said slowly: "Even now, maybe the hidden guard is on the roof."

"Cough, cough, cough—" Before he could swallow the tea in his mouth, Zhong Qiyun choked on Xie Wenyuan's words in shock.

Xie Wenyuan laughed: "Brother Zhong, it's better to drink slowly."

"Cough, cough, no matter how slow I am, I can't stand Master Xie's astonishing words," Zhong Qiyun saw a smile in Xie Wenyuan's eyes, he couldn't laugh or cry, and cleared his throat: "You look calm and calm? My Lord Xie Lah, it's been almost a month with you, don't you worry? I can't guarantee that every word and every action of yours will fall into the ears of the second prince."

Saying that, Zhong Qiyun pointed to the roof, "Everyone is on top of us, so should we continue with this? Are you afraid he will hear it?"

Having said that, after a moment of astonishment, Zhong Qiyun slowly came to his senses.

If Xie Wenyuan had already known that Tan Yuanjin had secretly sent spies... Zhong Qiyun looked at the indifferent Minister of Shangshuxing in front of him, and his heart smirked. When he had some troubles, he came directly to find someone. Now that Xie Wenyuan is more familiar with and understands the fighting strategies in the officialdom, he may have already planned them and formulated a perfect strategy, so he doesn’t need it He came to remind.

Xie Wenyuan smiled, tapped the table twice with his fingers, showing a hint of arrogance and indifference on his face: "It depends on what I want him to hear."

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan like this, and his back and mind felt slightly numb. He had hardly seen Xie Wenyuan look so arrogant. Normally, this person had either a slight smile on his face or a calm demeanor, with a The mask that had been drawn long ago in the officialdom made it impossible for people to see clearly what was in their hearts, not to mention the obvious contempt for Tan Yuanjin at this moment.

Zhong Qiyun suddenly remembered what He Minqing and He Xiucai said when he mentioned Xie Wenyuan, "I'm afraid you don't know, but in just one year, the southwestern area has been infiltrated by that Xie Shilang from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside. power. Can’t imagine it? Such a seemingly modest and polite young man

Wei Hechao tore off a large piece... no, it should be said, he directly broke Wei Hechao's hand.How could Wei Hechao not hate him? "

Zhong Qiyun remembered that He Minqing was half-drunk at that time, shaking his head and analyzing the future changes in the court, "...everyone said that the powerful Wei Hechao was a wolf, and who knew that Xie Wenyuan was more terrifying than that rich wolf? Where are the tigers and leopards..."

However, Zhong Qiyun didn't think so...

Staring at the person in front of him, Zhong Qiyun said in his heart, "You don't seem to think highly of Tan Yuanjin?"

After saying this, the room fell silent.

Zhong Qiyun waited for a long time but did not see Xie Wenyuan's answer. After thinking for a while, he said again: "I heard that the reason why the Northwest Army was defeated by the Uighurs is that the second prince strongly recommended a relative in his mother's concubine's family."

Xie Wenyuan suddenly looked at Zhong Qiyun who said this, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Having said that, Zhong Qiyun suddenly didn't want to continue talking. He thought of Xie Wenyuan's unpopular mansion in Hangzhou, the rumor that Xie Wenyuan and General Xie Cheng were at odds, and the tiger and leopard He Minqing talked about. think......

Looking into Xie Wenyuan's eyes, Zhong Qiyun laughed.

"Xie Wenyuan, I suddenly want to understand you."

The words that seemed to be joking slowly drifted away, scattered in every corner and every crevice of the gradually darkened room.

It took Xie Wenyuan a long time to laugh. He looked at Zhong Qiyun and said, "You are the first person who dares to say that."

"That's really an honor." Zhong Qiyun blinked.

Putting aside the staring eyes, Xie Wenyuan stood up and walked towards the candlestick, "You didn't come to me just to remind me of this, did you?"

"of course not,"

Xie Wenyuan didn't want to continue the topic just now, and Zhong Qiyun didn't get to the bottom of it. He really wanted to discuss something with Xie Wenyuan, "I wanted to tell you last night, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhong Qiyun recalled the incident of getting drunk last night, and paused, "I accidentally drank too much at Nu Guyun's house, so I forgot to tell you."

After lighting a candlestick, Xie Wenyuan asked, "Nu Guyun? The Sangha merchant mentioned by Zhang Zhenfeng?"

"Yes, when we left later, he was also the one who secretly helped the fleet escape from the Sangha. He was originally a Sangha nobleman. Most nobles in Sangha City have certain official positions. Even if they don't have official positions, they are very familiar with the official family, so yesterday Visit his home and ask about the whereabouts of the Sangha pirates."

As he said that, Zhong Qiyun also looked for a fire book, went to another place and lit the candlesticks, and only after all the candles were lit up did he go back to the table and sit down, and the

I gave Xie Wenyuan a brief account of the news I received today and today. Regarding the big black ship that Jiang Sicheng mentioned recently, Zhong Qiyun described it in detail and asked: "Brother Xie, do you know that the neighboring country Is there anyone in China who has the ability to build such a ship?"

"Darling merchants have hardly been able to go to sea in these years. Except for the occasional pirates in the southeast, I know a little about the pirates, but I am not very clear about the situation in the country to the south of Qionghai in recent years. If you say ten Years ago, I know a little bit more, at that time, the shipbuilding capabilities of neighboring countries, as far as I know, the only one that can compare with Zhan Chengguo... is Shendu."

Speaking of this, not only Zhong Qiyun, but even Xie Wenyuan frowned.

Shendu's pirate ship?

"What is Shendu's boat doing here?" Zhong Qiyun said, "Zhancheng is not careful about being rich."

Xie Wenyuan shook his head, "I'm not sure it's Shendu, after all, after so many years, the shipbuilding technology of neighboring countries will definitely improve."

It's just that after saying this, Xie Wenyuan's brows did not relax.

Seeing Xie Wenyuan like this, Zhong Qiyun asked, "Are you afraid that Shendu will make trouble?"

Now I was going to send Dazhu's second prince as an envoy to Shendu, if the black ship was not Shendu's, it would be fine, if it was really a ship deliberately sent by King Shendu...

Zhong Qiyun could imagine that if something went wrong, the peace between the two countries would come to an end.

"That's not true," Xie Wenyuan shook his head, "Although Wei Hechao's decision to travel to the sea at that time was proposed by Wei Hechao, it was indeed a decision made at that time. It was impossible for the other side to know that we would abandon Lu Xun two months ago. Even now, it is impossible for them to know about the diversion to the sea."

Zhong Qiyun forgot about this, "It's true, if someone sends them a message, they have to run faster than us. Then according to you, the possibility of being pirates is higher?"

Xie Wenyuan nodded.

Zhong Qiyun suddenly felt a headache.

"Hey, forget it, check it out carefully during this period of time, if you can't find it, you can only resign yourself to fate, and it might be a pirate, and even if it is a pirate, the vast sea may not be so coincidental. , the sea is no more than the land, you can go as you want, even if you encounter something that you can't say, you can avoid it earlier."

Xie Wenyuan said, "You're not really worried."

"Why don't you worry." Zhong Qiyun smiled wryly, "If you can't find out, there's nothing you can do, right?"

"What about the pirates who escaped from you last time? Have you tracked down their whereabouts?"

Zhong Qiyun still shook his head: "No

, I am now seventy-eight percent sure that those pirates deliberately hid and waited for an opportunity to act.The last time I played with them, I'm afraid I hated me to the extreme.I have to sail the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful this time. "

Speaking of this, Zhong Qiyun teased and said: "Master Xie, if I am so unlucky and encounter an accident... The family fortune I have accumulated over the past year is not too much, but it is not too much." There are actually quite a few, and I will trouble you to take care of them at that time, and don’t treat me, the boatmen, badly.”

"Things haven't happened yet, and you haven't tried your best to plan, but you should arrange your funeral first."

"Hey, planning is to plan well, but you have to consider another outcome, right? You have to be prepared with both hands."

Xie Wenyuan thought for a moment, "Forget it, I will order Zhang Hong to take a few subordinates and Jiang Sicheng to investigate later."

Zhong Qiyun paused for a moment, then grinned the next moment and said, "Hey! It's terrible, it's terrible, Brother Xie, are you worried about me?!"

"Brother Zhong is thinking too much," Xie Wenyuan replied with a smile, "If you really encounter pirates, I'm afraid it's not just you, then the entire fleet will not be spared."

"Hey, I was just pretending to be affectionate," Zhong Qiyun shook his head and sighed, "I still thought that we have some friendship now, and you would worry about me to some extent. It would be a waste of me thinking of you, my lord, wherever I go."

Xie Wenyuan glanced at Zhong Qiyun, "Brother Zhong probably has nothing else to tell me, right? If not, then please go back, I want to rest earlier."

After Xie Wenyuan said this, Zhong Qiyun noticed the tiredness in this man's expression, presumably he didn't have a good rest last night.

"Last night...you accidentally talked nonsense when you were drunk, and disturbed your rest. Brother Xie, don't take offense."

"...no problem."

Zhong Qiyun stood up, glanced across Xie Wenyuan's neck, paused, and then said: "Since this is the case, I won't bother you anymore, you should rest earlier."

After finishing speaking, seeing Xie Wenyuan nodded, he turned and left the room.

It's just that Zhong Qiyun had only left for half an hour, and the store hadn't even brought water for washing, so he knocked on Xie Wenyuan's door again with his things in his hands.

"I made you some yogurt with jam, you can sleep better after eating it."
