Qingyun Weiyang

The sea was calm, and a round of merchant ships set sail from Pingwang Wharf.The Red Sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and the wind on the sea contains the smell of sea water, which is suitable for saltiness and lightness.

Nalan Qing set off with six people, besides the helmsman, there were also boatmen who knew the sea routes, crew members who knew the weather changes, and fishermen who were good at fishing.For this trip, there was a fleet of ships following them from a long distance for safety. They used seabirds to send messages to ensure that they knew the situation of the merchant ships every day and ensured that Nalanqing was safe all the way.

It was calm for several days and everything went well.Nalan Qing stood in front of the boat and looked into the distance every day. The direction on the sea was always unclear, but he could see the mountains in the distance, looming.

"Is that Lingyun Peak?" Nalan Qing thought, as the distance got farther, it became a hill without a shadow.

The waters of the Red Sea are vast, with countless tributaries, one of which is connected to Linghai.And the Lingyun Peak she saw is now the Lingyun Pavilion under Ling Yu's management. There are strange mountains and rocks, and the majestic mountains are undulating, but they are far apart, and they are very small when viewed from the sea.

"I don't know how Ling'er is doing now?" Thinking of Nalan Ling, Na Lanqing just shook his head helplessly. Now Ling Yu is the only child in his heart, and he hasn't set foot in the house for three years.

The world said that Nalan Qing was cold and ruthless. Compared with Nalan Ling's recklessness, she was really inferior.At least she will fulfill Gu Han's last wish. This matter should be placed on Nalan Ling, and she will definitely not compromise. I am afraid that one day she will be too obsessed and hurt herself.

Nalan Qing held the jade behind his back, holding the jade in his palm.It was the Qingyun stone given by Yunjin. She wears it by her side every day and plays with it in the palm of her hand. The surface of the stone has been polished to a brilliance. Only the word Qingyun is clearly engraved on it.

This was also the only thought Yun Jin left for her. She was relieved to go to sea when she learned that the little emperor was fine. As long as she got rid of her doubts about her life experience, she could go to Jidu to find her.Thinking of seeing Yun Jin again, she was happy and always had a slight smile on her face.

"My lord, it is said that the Red Sea is dangerous. We haven't encountered any danger in the past few days. Even the sky has blessed the lord." The fisherman cast his net cheerfully, thinking of making a fish feast for everyone tonight and showing off his cooking skills.

"Old fish, be careful not to hit the horse's hooves, you flatterer." The boatman rolled up his sleeves and adjusted the sail to control the direction of the boat.

All the people in the boat are in a happy mood, and those who can be selected by Nalan Qing to go to sea together are capable people, not to mention that few people can see her gentle appearance, such a beautiful appearance, which is a temptation for any man in the world, Even if you can only peek carefully every day, it is still pleasing to the eye.

Nalan smiled lightly, looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, and his face darkened, "The sky has changed."

"Not good, maybe it's the sea ghost wind." Hu Yi, who was in charge of observing the weather conditions, felt bad. "This ghost wind is rare. The wind is like a knife blade, and the mast will fall quickly."

"My lord, hurry back to the cabin!" Hu Yi's nervous expression already showed the danger.

Nalan Qing was not in a hurry, and did not panic when in danger, "It's nothing, you should also pay attention to safety and take care of yourself."

Since there is no way to avoid it, we can only meet it head-on.

The ghost wind hovered over, originally far away, but soon approached.The rippling sea suddenly began to roll, the weather changed suddenly, and the rainstorm came without warning. The boat began to sway, making creaking noises.

After a while, the whole boat lost control, and the strong shaking of the hull made them unable to stand still. Several people held the pole to stabilize their bodies.The ships in the vast ocean are as fragile as a leaf, no matter how they are destroyed, there is no power to fight back.

Na Lanqing pressed the hatch, poured his internal energy into his lower body, calm and composed.But the boatman and fisherman had already been swept up by the hurricane, they were thrown out of the air, and they were about to fall into the sea, Nalanqing snapped the mast with a swipe of thunderbolt palm, and stretched out towards the two to stop them.

"My lord, leave us alone!" The two grabbed the mast, and their bodies fell sharply, with the ruthless sea under their feet.

"Hurry up!" Nalan Qing pulled the mast hard, the cold rain splashed on his face, blurring his eyes.The armor of the ship became slippery due to the water, the wind howled, and the huge waves slammed in, causing her to lose her center of gravity.

She tore off the sail from the mast, twisted it into a thick cloth stick with her wrist, and hit the boat pile, trying to keep the balance on both sides.However, in this vast and hopeless sea, even with peerless martial arts, it will not help.

The entire houseboat was blown up by the strong wind, and the wind cut through Nalan Qing's face like a blade, mixed with blood, she couldn't feel any pain, only felt that the strength in her hand was getting weaker and weaker.

The stormy sea capsized the whole boat, and the boat lost its balance. Nalan Qing fell forward, and the mast in his hand slipped.

"Ahhh!" The boatman and fisherman sank into the sea.

Nalan Qing was stunned, wiped the rain on his face, and rolled over to the side of the boat, nearly falling.The hurricane was so severe that half of the ship had sunk into the sea.Seeing that Hu Yi and the other two had long since disappeared, they hadn't even heard the wailing or saving lives.

The gust of wind whizzed past, and the last plank holding Nalan Qing broke, and the Red Sea opened its bloody mouth like a beast, engulfing the entire ship.Until the last moment, Nalanqing was still holding the Qingyun Stone in his hand.

After the dark clouds covered, the red clouds parted slightly, and the sea surface became calm again, as if nothing had happened, except that the merchant ship and those few cheerful figures were no longer seen.

Everything happened unexpectedly, and the following ships panicked without news for three consecutive days. When they arrived at the place where the accident happened, they found scattered ship debris floating on the sea surface, and immediately felt bad.

Everyone immediately searched around, but there was still no trace of Nalan Qing's first boat.

Naran

A figure ran in hastily, his expression was flustered, his eyes were full of horror, he didn't even see Nalan Changjun coming towards him.

"Wait!" Nalan Zhangjun recognized him as a member of the fleet at a glance, "Didn't you go to sea with the Lord?"

"Miss San." The man's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, his back was already soaked, and he hurried back all the way in a panic, not daring to delay at all.

"What's the matter?" Nalan Changjun saw that he was so flustered, and had a bad premonition.

"Miss San... my lord... my lord's boat sank, and no one in the boat was seen. There was nothing but the supplies floating on the sea and the wreckage of the boat." The man began to cry after speaking.

Nalan Zhangjun's heart sank and she almost lost her footing, but she forcibly suppressed her flustered emotions and said calmly: "Arrange all the ships to unload and search at sea. This matter must not be spread."

"Don't you want to report to the elders?"

"I'll talk to the elders! The Lord will be fine. This matter must not be known to anyone, and it must not be passed on to the Empress Dowager Jidu. Do you understand?" Nalan Changjun ordered decisively, and she will be here. Block the news, Nalanqing has an accident, Qingzhou is going to be in chaos, how can it be known.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."

Nalan Changjun handed over his warrant to him, which represented the power and identity of the Nalan family, "Go and transfer people, and then go to Qing Palace and tell the prince to send troops to search from the sea. Pass."

"Yes, Miss San, the little one will do it right away."

After he left, Nalan Changjun let out a deep breath, feeling a dull pain in his heart.The corners of her lips trembled slightly, with a half-smile, she used to always think that if Nalan Qingruo died, maybe the position of Patriarch would be hers, even though she once admired her, she actually hated her and was jealous of her.Now that it has come true, everything has come true, but she suddenly feels that the world is boring.

"Hehe, Nalan Qing, why did you go even though you knew the Red Sea was in danger?" Nalan Zhangjun clasped his palms tightly and gritted his teeth, not wanting to let the sadness spread, "You are so selfish, you have always been like this, and you never cared your people."

Where is the Red Sea?Do you really think you are a god?Nalan Changjun snorted lightly, but his eyes were reddened at some point, and crystal clear teardrops fell on the skirt of his clothes in the blink of an eye.

Even if she sent someone to search for it, she knew that the chances of surviving the sinking into the Red Sea were too small.

I have never wished Nalan Qingqing to be the reincarnation of a god more than at this moment, so that she can really defy the sky, even the ruthless sea cannot swallow her.

The wind and cloud change color, and the clear sky suddenly darkens.

A heavy rain fell without warning, pouring the entire imperial city.

Yun Jin was holding the tea in his hand, and when he was putting it back on the table, he accidentally touched the edge of the table and fell to the ground, making a crisp and shattering sound.She glanced at the shards, reached out to pick them up in a strange way, and accidentally cut her fingertips.

"Queen, don't move!" Yuan Xi hurried forward.

Blood oozes from Yun Jin's fingers and falls on the brocade bag around her waist, like a blooming peony, blending with the red color.

"Queen Mother, how can you pick up the pieces by yourself? This servant deserves death." Yuan Xi hurriedly took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped it lightly for her.

"It's okay, I don't know what happened just now, Aijia suddenly felt restless." Yun Jin was rarely distracted when reading the memorial, the sudden panic came suddenly, just like the weather at the moment.

"Boom!!" The lightning pierced the sky, and the deafening thunder burst out.

Huairou ran in from the door, covered her ears, and crouched in the corner fearfully.She was afraid of thunder, and Jidu had never encountered such thunder in many years, and every sound made her heart burst.

"You, go back to the house if you're afraid." Yuan Xi packed up the pieces and went to take care of the frightened Huai Rou.

"I can't hide anywhere, and I can feel more at ease by relying on the Queen Mother." Huairou pouted, secretly looking at Yunjin, as calm as ever, just staring at the heavy rain in a daze.

"Then don't squat on the ground, what a shame, come on, stand up." Yuan Xi thoughtfully pulled her up, another flash of white light fell, Huai Rou closed her eyes in horror, and slipped into Yuan Xi's arms.

"Yuanxi! I'm afraid!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just thunder." Yuan Xi comforted her repeatedly, but Huai Rou hugged her even tighter.

Looking at the two, Yun Jin smiled and shook her head. She put down her book and walked to the porch.Looking at the dense rain like a silk thread, the eyes are vast and foggy.

She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes lightly, her eyelids were sore, and she always had the urge to cry.Looking up again, I was finally able to see the red plums in the garden.

It's just that she didn't have the heart to appreciate the scenery, and today she was always restless and couldn't concentrate all day long.

"Empress Dowager." Li Ruo suddenly appeared and came with a smile, "Report to Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has recovered and has safely arrived at Chengyang Palace."

"Really?" Yun Jin showed joy, "Why are you waiting for the weather to come back here?"

"The thunderstorm came suddenly, and we met halfway. Fortunately, the emperor has already entered the palace safely."

"Aijia went to see him." Yun Jin's mood finally recovered a little. Recently, she has always been depressed. Qin Yu was suffering from illness, and Na Lanqing didn't know what was going on when she went to sea. She had too many things on her mind.

The torrential rain suddenly stopped, and the howling wind hit his face, making Yun Jin feel his body getting colder.The four people got out of the sedan chair and carried her to Chengyang Palace. The huge blooming veil shielded her from the rain, and the sky in the distance seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Even though it was afternoon, it seemed like night had fallen.

Yun Jin clutched the bag at her waist, her fingertips still felt a little sore, what would she do if Nalan Qing encountered such weather when going out to sea?

Just as he was thinking, he found a familiar figure passing by in a hurry.

"Stop!" Yun Jin had a strange feeling from nowhere, usually she wouldn't ask more questions even if she saw Shi Han.

Shi Han had a serious face, which could even be described as heavy, he didn't know how to fake his mood.Even if he saw Yun Jin, he just kowtowed to the ground in despair, even if the heavy rain soaked his clothes, he didn't care, he was completely stunned.

The sedan chair stopped at the same spot, Yun Jin sat up slightly, looked at him, and asked, "Is there any news from the Patriarch recently?"

"Back to the queen mother... no..." Shi Han lowered his head guiltily, and answered without thinking. When Nalan Qing's name was mentioned, Yun Jin clearly saw him clutching the corner of his clothes, with sadness in his eyes.

"What Aijia wants to hear is the truth, not perfunctory words." Yun Jin didn't believe in any ominous omens, and she didn't want to think about her intuition that was always accurate, but at this moment, she desperately wanted to hear Nalan Qing's words. news.

"My lord has gone to sea, it's nothing, it's really nothing, Queen Mother..." Shi Han raised his eyes to look at Yun Jin, the rain washed his face, those originally clear pupils were full of sadness, even despair.

Yun Jin raised her hand, and the phoenix sedan chair slowly fell.She got up from the sedan chair, and Yuan Xi held up the umbrella for her.

She no longer smiled, and her face was gloomy, "Aijia asked one last time, does the Patriarch have any news?"

Seeing Yun Jin's concern and slight anger, Shi Han finally couldn't help sobbing, whimpering like a child: "My lord, the boat going out to sea has capsized, and everyone in the boat has fallen into the Red Sea. We have searched for it." Seven days and still no news."

"Boom!!" The thunder exploded beside her ears, Yun Jin froze in place, she didn't know if she was frightened, or she didn't hear Shi Han's words clearly, but she was like petrified, she didn't move for a long time.
