[Xiye] Sword Bearer

At this time, the sea is calm and the sea is calm, and it is hard to see the stormy and huge waves two days ago. After the sky clears, the water and sky are all blue, and even the poorest eyesight can’t see the end. The sea water is softer than the royal blue soft satin. How many times, the sky is so many times clearer than the celadon of Ru Kiln after the rain, and the water is dotted with flocks of gulls, the scenery is very pleasant.

A light clipper sailed out of the harbor.This is not a cargo ship, nor a fishing boat, but a pleasure boat for pleasure.Although it is a cruise ship, it is also a sea ship, with simple and stable furnishings. After setting up the white sails, it sails against the wind very quickly, unlike the huge and carved boats in the river.

Except for the boatmen who performed their duties, there were several people standing on the deck, all surrounded by a young man in gorgeous clothes.

Ordinary people can't live near the coast, but this young man is able to play near the sea, probably because of some background.

The young man looked around the deck excitedly at first, but soon showed a bored expression.

"Although the scenery on the sea is open, there is no interesting change at all. After all, it is better to see the scenery on both sides of the river from a boat in the river. If I knew this, it would be more interesting to bring a set of diva banquets on the boat."

"There is no shortage of food and drink on this boat. If Your Highness feels bored, you can also find other fun."

It was a man in fine clothes who was speaking, and beside him was a man in similar clothes.The young man in Chinese clothes surrounded by the crowd is the son of the Southern Prince, who will be the son of the prince in the future, so he is quite popular in the Southern Land.The son has a reputation for being good at martial arts, and the disciples around him all have some skills.

"Another pleasure, watching you climb the mast?"

"This... If the prince wants to see it, the two of us will try our muscles with this mast?"

The prince didn't say yes or no, the two dressed up looked at each other, and suddenly jumped up the mast.They climbed as fast as the apes used to pick coconuts in the Southlands.

This kind of person should not be used by the rich and powerful for fun, but the southeast coast is narrow and densely populated, and it is impossible to make a living by relying on the land. If you go to sea to make a living, you will not be a good citizen. The young children are old in the world, and they cannot live in the world for a lifetime. A labor-saving way of living.

A person was about to climb to the highest point of the mast soon, when he stopped suddenly, he seemed to see something.His companion climbed up dully, but reached the top of the pole first.

The loser didn't care about winning or losing, and hurriedly climbed down before reaching the top.

"Your Highness, there is a person in the water." He pointed to the outside of the nail plate, and added, "I can't tell if he is dead or alive."

This was quite rude, but Wang Shizi didn't take it seriously, he got up and walked to the railing, and followed the man's finger to look at it.

There was indeed a humanoid being propelled towards their boat by gusts of surging water.When you get closer, you can see it more clearly. It is a white-clothed man clinging to a boat plank, but he doesn't make any movements. He just floats along the water with the buoyancy of the boat plank.

The doorman was not sure, and asked: "Your Highness, can you save me?"

Then he thought about how many days ago this person was floating in the sea, and probably drowned, so he changed his question and asked, "Will you fish it or not?"

The prince's attendant interrupted: "If it's a dead person who's inflated, wouldn't it be bad luck for His Highness?"

Shizi looked at it for a moment and said, "Fill it up."

He returned to the main seat, and said happily: "If you are alive, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If you are a dead person in a shipwreck, let him be buried in the ground after the ship docks. It is just a little effort for me, and it is also for myself. Fu."

The attendants here immediately changed their tunes and praised Wang Shizi's bodhisattva heart, while a few boatmen over there used tools to fish the floating man onto the boat.

Not only was the man alive, he wasn't bloated, he just looked exhausted after spending too much time at sea.

People who live by the sea are all tanned.Even Prince Nan's entourage, after two days of exposure to the seaside, they were all tanned, and only the son of a daughter who came to play by chance like Prince Nan, he was very fair.This man was a little fairer than Shizi, and when he was wet, he was shone by the sun, and then set off by the dark boatmen around him, he was so white that he glowed.

The doorman said: "This person doesn't seem to be from the sea."

The prince said: "Looking at his clothes and appearance, he is from a good background. Rescue him, ask him where he is from, and give him some travel expenses to go home. It is also a merit." He said again: "Go back to the voyage."

When the boat docked, the man who caught it also sat up consciously.

The prince was young and curious, and he usually did nothing under the King Nan's wing. Now he felt that he had done a great good deed, and he had to do it from beginning to end, so he had been waiting for news.

The rescued man's hair was not dry yet, and a dry hood was put on his wet clothes. Although his face was pale, his appearance and sitting posture were very decent.There was hot soup in front of him, but he didn't move.

The crown prince asked straightforwardly: "Who are you? Where is your home?"

The man ignored it.

The prince smiled and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then do you know who I am?"

The attendant said sternly: "This is Prince Nan's eldest son who saved your life. He is asking you something. You don't need to hide it." After seeing that there was no reply, he muttered: "Is this man panicked at sea? Back to soul?"

The son is not impatient, he doesn't have great ability, but he has a good temper, he said with a smile: "You don't want to say it, but it makes me curious, but in the south, I can always find out your origin."

The other party pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Ye Gucheng in the South China Sea."

His island is an island with his own name, and his city is not a city with an official name, so when talking about place names, he only mentions the South China Sea.

Prince Nan and his attendants were not very surprised, but the attendants who had walked around were all surprised by coincidence.

The prince was about to ask again, when he suddenly sensed that the atmosphere around him was different, he couldn't help but look up, and behind him, a person who looked like a calm aide immediately stepped forward, bowed his head in the prince's ear, and whispered.

The prince listened for a while, nodded slightly, and suddenly smiled: "The outer island is far away from here, you are soaked, why don't you go back with me first, and then make plans."

Under the lamp late at night, the flame of the oil lamp trembled slightly.

Nanwang Shizi said to his staff: "Of course, I have heard of Baiyun City Lord, but there are many people who are not worthy of their reputation. Since you all say that you are powerful, you also learn swordsmanship. Woolen cloth?"

There was an embarrassing expression on the staff's face.

The prince was a little funny: "Even if you are not as good as others, I will not be mean to your salary."

The staff said in embarrassment: "Pearls of rice grains should not compete with the stars and the moon. Your Highness is not in the Jianghu, so if you ask such a question, it will be heard by outsiders, and your subordinates will be laughed at."

The prince couldn't help but be surprised: "Is it so different?"

"So this kind of person is hard to come by. If His Highness has this opportunity, he should take the opportunity to find a way to keep him."

"How to stay? Since I said so, naturally I can't treat him as an ordinary guest, as a guest of honor?"

The staff thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "This subordinate is bold, please treat him as a disciple, Your Highness."

"Huh? Who saved who?"

For Ye Gucheng, this is not a chance, but his purpose.He didn't move around much in the Central Plains, so if he wanted to find an opportunity to get close to the center, he had to borrow strength.Being in the Southland and being connected to the heavens, the Nanwang Mansion can be said to be the best springboard.However, the dignitaries have been living in intrigue for a long time. If they take the initiative to make friends with people from the Nanwang Mansion, not only will their prices drop, but they will definitely not be trusted.People's hearts are often like this, but they have a grudge when they receive favors. If they have extended favors to others, they will be proud of themselves, and the initiative is their own, so they will not be suspicious.

Ye Gucheng practiced swordsmanship in the South China Sea since he was a child, and it is common for him to enter the water for a few days in a desperate situation. He only needed a chance to be rescued by the people of the Nanwang Mansion for such a design.He started to destroy the boat and drift away when the storm was raging two days ago. In this way, even if the Nanwang Mansion traced it afterwards, there would be no doubts.
