Thirty-four, the green flag flutters

Prince Xuezhu woke up and saw that there was no one around him. He thought Zhou Xuan and the others left him and quietly left the island. He was so scared that he was out of his mind and screamed in sadness.

Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing, who were dragging their bodies into the sea, were stiff and shocked. This was clearly the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could His Royal Highness be here?

Zhou Xuan and the other two took advantage of Chen Yanshou's stupidity and quietly stepped back, tiptoed out more than ten feet before speeding up. The cry of Prince Xuezhu became more and more shrill, and they were running towards this side.

When Prince Xuezhu saw Zhou Xuan, he cried with joy and shouted, "I knew that Zhou Keguan was reluctant to leave the shopkeeper!" He was about to snot and tears.

Seeing Prince Xuezhu's posture, Zhou Xuan quickly stood with one hand and said repeatedly: "Don't come over, don't come over-"

Prince Snow Pig shook his body and said, "Where are you going? Are you scaring me to death?"

Zhou Xuan said: "The three of us just woke up, wanting to see if there are any small beasts in the forest. We will catch one to satisfy our hunger, but we didn't see anything."

When it comes to eating, Prince Xuezhu immediately felt hungry. He had eaten up all the snacks in his arms and said, "This island is too small, there is no one else. We have to continue rowing northwards. If we can't find food, our shopkeeper will die."

Zhou Xuan returned to the edge of the small stone pond. It was already dawn, but he saw a shallow stream north of the small pond. The source of the stream was a clear spring. Over time, it gathered into such a bottomless stone pond.

Zhou Xuan drank two scoops of spring water before he heard footsteps coming here. I guess Chen Yanshou and the others had dismantled the corpses.

Prince Snow Pig heard the footsteps and said in surprise: "Who is there? There are still people on this island!"

Chen Yanshou shouted, "Your Highness, the old slave Chen Yanshou." He rushed over, Fei Qing followed closely behind, knelt on the ground by the small stone pond, kowtowed repeatedly, saying that the guards were late, and the death penalty was committed.

Prince Xuezhu met an old friend in a foreign land and said happily: "Haha, where are there living people? Who else is not dead?"

Chen Yanshou kowtowed and said, "Only Lao Nu and Fei Qing escaped by chance. After he was separated from His Highness, he cried and cried and searched everywhere. Lao Nu firmly believed that His Highness was the grandson of the Jade Emperor and would never die. Therefore, he searched hard and had already found three small islands. Lao Nu vowed to search the entire sea and meet His Highness here for good luck."

Prince Xuezhu nodded and said, "Well, Chen Yanshou is loyal and will be rewarded when he returns to the country."

Seeing that Chen Yanshou was making great contributions, Fei Qing did not mention him at all, and was displeased and looked ugly.

"Master, look, there's smoke coming up over there!" Sichi suddenly shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at it and saw a black smoke rising from the northeast of the island. It lasted less than half a cup of tea and the smoke column disappeared.

Zhou Xuan said: "The smoke pillar I saw last night was in the north, why is the smoke pillar in the northeast today? Did you miss it with the ship looking for us at night?"

Prince Xuezhu asked Chen Yanshou and the other two: "Who do you have the fire skeleton?"

Fei Qing quickly took out the fire from his arms and presented it to Zhou Xuan, and he looked pleased.

The six people came to the east of the island. Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing were worried, fearing that Zhou Xuan and Sichi saw signs of their murder, and there were still blood on the ground. Fortunately, Zhou Xuan and the others didn't care at all. They cut down the branches and ignite the fire. After a while, thick smoke rolled up.

After a while of smoke, Zhou Xuan ordered Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing to withdraw water to extinguish the fire. The smoke could not last long, and he was worried that the Wu Yue navy would be discovered.

Fei Qing ignored Zhou Xuan's orders and even stubbornly stubbornly, indicating disdain.

Prince Xuezhu was angry and slapped him in the face. Fei Qing didn't dare to hide. Prince Xuezhu's palm was thick and it hurt to hit someone. He shouted: "What Zhou Keguan said is equivalent to what the shopkeeper said. If you hear it, go and get water."

Chen Yanshou and Fei Qing quickly went to the boat to get a wooden basin to get water to put out the fire. Both of them were extremely puzzled: "Why did Your Highness the Crown Prince trust this Zhou Xuan so much? Is it because of the shared hardships?"

After the fire was extinguished, six people sat on the rocks on the shore waiting for the arrival of the reinforcement ship. After about an hour, they saw the top of the mast sail on the northern sea surface from afar.

Zhou Xuanxi said: "The ship that saved us is here, I hope it is Lingfei."

Chen Yanshou looked at it for a while and said in surprise: "No, this is not Lingfei. The sails of Lingfei are not like this. Lingfei has five masts and seven sails. This ship has only three masts and three sails, which is much smaller than Lingfei."

Zhou Xuan was secretly surprised and asked Lin Ji: "General Lin, the two ships in my Tang Kingdom are three masts and five sails, right? This ship is not the two ships in my Tang Kingdom!"

Chen Yanshou said: "It is definitely not the ship of our fleet - His Royal Highness, please go to the forest to avoid it. I am afraid that this ship will come in a bad intention."

Zhou Xuan and his sixth one entered the woods and watched the sea boat sail closer and closer, it seemed that they were really coming to the island.

Zhou Xuan said to Prince Xuezhu: "Shopkeeper Liu, this ship is likely to be the Wuyue navy. Qian Weizhi of Wuyue is determined to destroy the Tang and Han marriages. We are ready to face the enemy."

Chen Yanshou said: "This ship is not big, except for sailors, can only carry a hundred people at most-" turned his head and looked at Sichi and Lin Ji, and then said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Zhou Marriage can't sit still. It's enough for us and the four of us to deal with these hundred people."

The ship was getting closer and closer, but it did not come towards the island. It seemed that it was preparing to pass by the southern end of the island.

Zhou Xuan said: "It is impossible for them not to see the thick smoke just now. If the Wu Yue navy must come to inspect it. Could it be that this is a passing merchant ship?"

Prince Xuezhu hurriedly said, "Then ask for help quickly, this shopkeeper is almost starving to death."

Fei Qing quickly jumped out, cut off a piece of tree trunk, and danced in his hand, hoping that the sea boat would see it. However, the sails were blowing, and the sea boat sailed past the southern end of the island without stopping. He could see someone on the deck looking towards this side. He must have seen someone on the island, but he passed by indifferently.

Fei Qing cursed loudly, and Chen Yanshou screamed again: "Ah, another ship is coming." He leaped onto a tree branch, and he jumped up to look into the distance.

After a while, Chen Yanshou on the tree branch said in surprise: "This ship looks like the Lingfei. Wait for a while and you can see clearly if you drive closer."

Zhou Xuan was secretly excited, it would be great that the "Lingfei Treasure Ship" was fine. After the storm on the night before, he was drifting on the sea, and his life was hard to save. He had no time to think about Princess Qingle, Xiaowei and General Qi on the "Lingfei Treasure Ship", and only comforted himself in his heart: "Princess, Xiaowei and the others will definitely not be able to do anything, definitely not!"

Chen Yanshou stared at him for a moment and said sure: "That's right, it's Lingfei, Fei Qing, go and light up the fire again."

The Sichi said happily: "Master, it's really Lingfei, it's great!"

Zhou Xuan, Sizi, Lin Ji and the other two were all smiling happily. The "Lingfei" was all from their Tang Kingdom. As long as the "Lingfei" was fine, there would be no other control.

On the deck of the "Lingfei", General Qi, who was injured by caltrops on his body, was anxious and the county princess was not found. Princess Qingle was captured by people from Zhongtian Eight Kingdoms. Although the princess would not be in danger for the time being, it would not be possible not to recover it. The princess was going to marry Liu Shousu, the princess of the Southern Han Dynasty. How could Zhang Sheng rob the bride halfway? It is a custom of the Qingyuan barbarians. I have never heard of any princesses from any country who were robbed of the bride. It was really shameful for the whole country!

Suddenly, I saw the island in front of the right soaring into the sky. They sent someone to explore this island yesterday. It was uninhabited, but there was a pool of good water. Unfortunately, things were in a hurry at that time and there was no time to get water. Unexpectedly, there was smoke on the island now!

General Qi was caught in the smoking trick and threw Princess Qingle away. He was furious and cursed: "The thieves from the eight kingdoms of the Zhongtian, the princesses have been kidnapped by you, and they are still smoking? You are smoking!"

The Jinwu Guards next to General Qi said, "Mr. Qi, have you sent someone to the island to capture the spies from the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian for interrogation?"

General Qi waved his hand anxiously and said, "There is nothing to be tried. The princess is on the boat in front. We must chase it quickly. The spy on the island is smoking to waste our time."

The "Lingfei" has three masts and five sails, and it is full of strength, and it has no intention of being close to the island at all.

Zhou Xuan on the island became anxious and patted Prince Xuezhu on the shoulder: "Shopkeeper Liu, you have to do it."

Prince Xuezhu said: "I can't swim!"

Zhou Xuan said: "It's not that you want to swim, just take off your green robe, leave your upper body naked, and then stand on this big rock and wave your green robe to the treasure ship."

Prince Snow Pig did as he said, naked with a snow-white fat, standing on the towering rock, waving his green robe, the sunlight shone on his dazzling white fat, which was so eye-catching.

The whistleman with great eyes on the "Lingfei" lookout platform saw the snow-white fat man a hundred feet away and shouted: "Sir Qi, that person on the island seems to be the Prince of the Han Dynasty!"

When General Qi heard this, he quickly held his crutch to the side of the boat and looked carefully. Sure enough, he saw a fat white man with several people around him. He immediately ordered the big ship to approach the island.

The "Lingfei" stopped slowly when it was fifty feet away from the island. General Qi and the others saw clearly. The ones who waved to the island were indeed Duke Zhou and Prince Nanhan. They were all ecstatic and rushed to send a boat to pick up Duke and the others.

Zhou Xuan got on the boat and saw General Qi and two Jinwu Guards kneeling in front of him to apologize. He was shocked and asked in shock: "What happened to the princess?"

General Qi told him about the storm that he had encountered the night before. When Zhou Xuan heard that Princess Qingle and the other two were just being captured, he felt relieved and said, "Get up, drive the boat quickly, and you must rob the princess back."

Zhou Xuan ordered the Jinwu Guard to call the ship supervisor and ask him about the fire in the kitchen on the ship. He also asked if the chef and servants in the kitchen had been on the ship for many years?

The ship supervisor replied respectfully: "Report to the Duke of the County, there are five chefs and ten servants in the Lingfei Bao Ship Kitchen. Except for one servant who was newly boarded the ship at the beginning of the year, the rest have been on the ship for more than two years."

Zhou Xuan said: "Catch the newly-boarded guy. There are eight out of 10 people, nine out of 10 are spies from Zhongtian Eight Kingdoms. After a beat, they will be called. But it won't help. The princess has been kidnapped."

Feng Ajian came over and said, "Mr. Duke, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that Feng Ajian was worried, Zhou Xuan comforted him: "Feng Ajian, don't be too anxious, I will definitely save His Highness the Princess."

Feng Ajian nodded and whispered to Zhou Xuan about the conspiracy between Yun Ajian and Huangxu Jinwu Guard that he heard the afternoon of the previous day, and said, "I have found out that the Jinwu Guard is named Hu Qing."

Zhou Xuan frowned and thought to himself: "It's really complicated. Zhang Sheng, the Eight King of Zhongtian, sent someone to abduct Princess Qingle, and there are Li Kun's people here to deal with me." He immediately called Lin Ji and asked about Hu Qing's affairs.

Lin Ji had known that Hu Qing and King Jing had a close relationship. When he heard Zhou Xuan’s question, he immediately understood that Lin Ji originally planned not to participate in the dispute between King Jing and the Eastern Palace, but now it is different. Zhou Jungong saved his life and spent two days at sea to live in a life-long friendship. He immediately said: "Mr. Duke, I will go and arrest Hu Qing, and I will know it after the first trial."

Zhou Xuan said: "General Lin is responsible for this matter. Report the results of the interrogation to me. I will also interrogate the Yun Ajian. I will try not to use torture as much as possible."

Zhou Xuan climbed up the forecastle again and went forward to look out. Because he had been delayed by the island for half an hour, the distance between the "Lingfei" and Monk Jingquan's sea boat had been widened, and the other party's sail could no longer be seen.

At this moment, two fast ships suddenly appeared on the starboard side, approaching the "Lingfei". The bow of the ship was flying, but it was the flag of the Wu Yue Kingdom. Smoke was continuously coming out of the sea center area, and the Wu Yue navy was unable to say that there was no movement at all.

General Qi urgently ordered the soldiers on the ship to meet the enemy, but Lin Ji stopped investigating the case and led nearly two hundred Jinwu Guards to serve with their hard bows and sharp arrows.

The two ships of Wu Yue Kingdom saw that the Lingfei was several times larger than them, so they did not dare to get close to them, and followed closely on the side of the Lingfei as if they were escorted.

The ship supervisor said: "It's a pity that two masts were broken by the wind on the night before, otherwise this Wuyue boat would not be able to catch up with the treasure ship of our Han Dynasty!"

A corner of the mast was exposed on the sea level. Siqi stood beside Zhou Xuan and said, "Master, that seems to be Monk Jingquan's ship."
