Prince's Revenge

Chapter 34

I don't know how long it took, but He Yaodu felt exhausted, and he barely swam to the lighthouse emitting soft lights, the simple stone lighthouse stood quietly by relying on one breath.Holding his last breath, He Yaodu went ashore, and he and Zong Qixiu glanced at each other, feeling grateful and fearful for the rest of his life, fortunately, at this time, there was another person by his side.

The two supported each other and walked towards the lighthouse. He Yaodu said, "Go up and enjoy the fire."

Zong Qixiu nodded, and the two went up to the second floor of the lighthouse. This is a lighthouse built spontaneously by nearby fishermen. After someone in the family goes to sea, they will come up every other day to refuel and point out the direction for the family members in the sea to go home.When He Yaodu and Zong Qixiu went up, there was still half a bowl of lamp oil in the wind lamp, it seemed that no one would come over tonight.

They were already soaked and covered with mud, He Yaodu said to Zong Qixiu, "I'll find something to light a fire nearby, you can rest for a while."

Zong Qixiu looked helplessly at the wind and rain outside, and said, "Let's go after the rain stops."

He Yaodu looked at his pale face and said, "After soaking in the water for such a long time, and then wearing wet clothes, be careful of the cold invading the body."

Zong Qixiu struggled to stand up and said, "Then let's go together."

He Yaodu nodded, and the two walked out of the lighthouse to a forest not far from the lighthouse.In summer, the trees were lush, and dead branches were not easy to find. The two walked deeper and deeper, but found a few small branches that were as thick as fingers.

There were a few faint fires in the distance, Zong Qixiu was overjoyed, and pulled He Yaodu to go there, but He Yaodu held him and said in a low voice, "Who will come out in this weather? Let's see the situation."

Zong Qixiu nodded, and the two found a dense bush. He Yaodu held Zong Qixiu in his arms, and pressed him tightly against his back.

Zong Qixiu shuddered as the temperature in He Yaodu's chest was hot. After several hours of soaking in the sea water, he was already icy cold all over. He couldn't help leaning back, greedy for the temperature.

He Yaodu hugged him with greater strength, folded his hands on his abdomen, and warmed his lower abdomen with the temperature of his palms.

The fire came quickly, and the sound also came through. There were about a dozen soldiers in coir raincoats with torches in their hands, and a leader said loudly, "Hurry up, you will reach the seaside after you have found this forest."

A big man asked, "What should I do if I can't find it here?"

The leader said: "If you can't find it, you can only go back and report."

The big man smiled, and asked, "The He tribe died as soon as they died, and let our brothers come out in the rain to find someone."

The leader scolded: "What nonsense! Something happened to the third prince on our territory, how can the prince explain to the court!"

The big man said: "When encountering such a ghostly weather, who can be blamed. It's not us who let God blow the typhoon!"

The leader kicked the big man and said, "Why are there so many nonsense, hurry up and work."

Zong Qixiu said in a low voice, "It's from King Zhennan." After he finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but He Yaodu immediately covered his mouth and held him down.

Zong Qixiu was puzzled, turned his head to look at He Yaodu, He Yaodu shook his head lightly, motioning him to keep quiet.

More than a dozen people ran past them without seeing them. He Yaodu let go of Zong Qixiu until they were far away and the fire could no longer be seen, and said, "The lighthouse can't go back, let's go quickly Fujian."

Zong Qixiu asked puzzledly: "Why? We can go to the Zhennan Palace first, please send a boat to rescue the dead soldiers, and then make plans to return to Beijing."

He Yaodu shook his head and said, "I suspect that the boat has been tampered with!"

"You mean Zhennan King!" Zong Qixiu's voice trembled, and he said in disbelief, "How is it possible! This is a natural disaster! How did he know that we would encounter a typhoon!"

He Yaodu hugged the excited Zong Qixiu, motioned him to calm down, and said, "Typhoons will not come without warning. We are inland people and have no experience, but he Zhennan Wang has been on the coast for many years, how could he not understand?" ? Think about it carefully, when we leave the shore, are there fishing boats on the sea? Where did our spare boat go? It was also our carelessness, and we didn’t check it ourselves before sailing.”

Zong Qixiu murmured, "I thought the fishing boat didn't go out to sea to avoid us."

He Yaodu sneered and said: "Hmph, we were too naive, almost lost our lives. It's a trick to kill us with a knife, and I want to kill us with God's hand, but my father has not been able to hold him accountable."

Zong Qixiu disagreed with his statement and said, "Why did he want our lives?"

He Yaodu shook his head and said, "I don't understand it for the time being, but it's better to be careful now. Can you still hold on?"

Zong Qixiu nodded firmly and said: "You're right, no matter whether he did it or not, we can no longer trust him. I'm fine, let's go now! It's not far from Zhejiang, and it will be safe when we arrive in Zhejiang. Dare to cross the line to kill."

He Yaodu broke off two branches as thick as a baby's arm and gave one to Zong Qixiu. He opened the way ahead and let Zong Qixiu follow him in the direction of Zhejiang.

They didn't dare to take the main road, and they chose some remote paths along the way. When they saw officers and soldiers, they hid far away behind the woods or rocks.

At noon the next day, they finally arrived at the border between Fujian and Zhejiang. They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing: they could no longer see their original appearance, and their silk and satin clothes were cut into strips by branches and stones. , The original color of the shoes can't be seen, and there are scratches of different shades on the arms, looking like a fleeing man in a mess.

He Yaodu's eyes were moist with a smile, he wiped his face, and looked at the sea that he could no longer see, Zong Qixiu stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "Don't worry, maybe someone will survive like us, King Zhennan will never embarrass them."

He Yaodu's eyes were gloomy, the weather at that time was too bad, and the soldiers were all northerners who didn't know how to swim, how could they survive the disaster?But he was still grateful for Zong Qixiu's comfort at this time, raised his head and combed his hair for a long time, but there were always a few strands of hair that couldn't be tied together, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let's go!"

The two finally arrived in Zhejiang, and their hearts fell to the ground, but He Yaodu didn't go to the government, instead he took a finger wrench with him, bought a change of clothes, found an inn, and after some rectification, Just bought two horses and went on the road.

The two raced on, and finally rushed back to the capital before the beginning of autumn.

He Yaodu didn't know that during the few months he had been away, a very influential event had happened in Dayong City, and his return made He Dichi in the palace finally heave a sigh of relief.
