After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 593

Early the next morning, the shopkeeper dragged his exhausted body to feed the horses in the backyard. As soon as he returned to the inn, he saw the guests upstairs coming down and told him:
"Shopkeeper, bring some hot water upstairs, and prepare a meal for me."

The one who came downstairs was the guard Xiao Ding. Last night he sneaked back to the inn with his wife, and he will leave today after eating and drinking.

"Guest officer, you have to wait a minute. There is only this little old man in the shop, so I can't keep busy. Why don't you go out and buy some food by yourself, and the shop assistants don't know where they are?"

The shopkeeper said to Xiao Ding with a bitter face that he couldn't make money even if he had money.

The guard Xiaoding didn't talk nonsense with him, he knew the whereabouts of the buddy best, he was dead.

He went out to buy something and came back early, the shopkeeper had just boiled the hot water and was struggling to carry it upstairs.

"Give it to me, you settle our bill, and we will leave in a while."

The guard Xiaoding took the kettle and ordered the shopkeeper to pay the bill.

"Ah? Are you leaving now?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were a little dissatisfied when he heard that they were leaving. Didn't they say they would stay for a few more days?Like the old man yesterday, they are all deceitful.

The guard Xiaoding ignored him and went upstairs with food. He knocked on the door of the upper room and shouted respectfully: "Master, I bought it earlier."

"Well, come in."

A woman's voice came from the room, Xiao Ding opened the door and entered the room, poured hot water into the wooden basin, left a copy early, and left respectfully.

Half an hour later, Zhang Jinglin and his men went downstairs to call out all the people who lived in the common shop, and went upstairs to lift down a woman and a man with chairs.

The shopkeeper sat listlessly at the counter with his sleeves folded, and raised his eyelids when he saw the person carrying it out. The woman was carried in when she came, and the man was carried in and carried away with help. sick?

"Guest officer, go slowly, come back next time."

The shopkeeper forced himself to stand up and say goodbye to them, and will point to them to patronize next time.

Knowing that there was only one person in the shopkeeper, Zhang Jinglin didn't expect him to harness the horses, and sent his men to the backyard to drive the carriages, while the others rode horses.

As soon as the carriage arrived, before the woman got into the carriage, the county magistrate of Haicheng came suddenly. He was still in casual clothes, followed by a servant carrying a burden. When he saw the woman, he walked over quickly and bowed respectfully. :

"The villain prepared some gifts for the prince to show his filial piety, and also prepared some food for you on the way. I wish you a smooth journey."

The woman was sitting on a chair with a blanket covering her waist. Her expression was arrogant and indifferent, she didn't look at him directly, but gave a cold order:
"Take it!"

Someone came by to collect the things, and the Haicheng county magistrate still wanted to talk to the woman, but she had already been helped into the carriage and lowered the curtain.

The county magistrate of Haicheng had no choice but to retreat to the side in desperation, and watched the carriage walk towards the pier. He followed two steps and was stopped by someone. He ordered severely:

"Don't reveal your identity."

The Haicheng county magistrate had no choice but to stop: "Yes, villain, remember."

The carriage left the city and headed west. Today's sea is as calm as a blue mirror, and the golden sun rising above the sea level is very beautiful.

The convoy stopped at the place where Japanese pirates often landed. In the distance, there was a large ship slowly and cautiously approaching the sea.

Zhang Jinglin got off his horse and stood by the sea, watching the big boat slowly approaching.

The boat stopped a few hundred meters from the shore, and someone stood on the bow and shouted, speaking the language of Dongying.

Zhang Jinglin responded calmly, matched the signal with the opponent, and two small boats came down from the big boat to pick them up.

Zhang Jinglin ordered someone to use a chair to lift the woman out of the carriage. This woman was none other than Su Qing who was pretending to be Princess Lanting. She watched the boats approaching calmly. These Japanese pirates were as cunning as she thought. And the envoys, they can't get close to the big ship, let alone go to Dongying country.

Two small boats came over, and Su Qing was carried aboard, she clutched her stomach in pain.

"What happened to the princess?"

"Poisoned by Empress Tang."

Zhang Jinglin replied with the excuse that Su Qing had told him in advance that Su Qing could make up a Lanting, but he couldn't hide his big belly, so he made such an excuse.

The people on the boat didn't doubt it, and the people on the shore boarded the boat one by one, and the carriage was thrown on the shore, and someone would deal with the aftermath.

After Su Qing and the others boarded the big boat, the big boat turned around and went back, and several small fishing boats quietly went out to sea shortly after they left.

Su Qing sat on a chair and watched the water marks drawn by the boat, and watched the big boat sail towards the direction of Dongying Kingdom.

Her original plan was to seize this boat, but now she changed her plan and wanted to go to Dongying to get more boats back.

The captain of the Japanese pirates on the ship came to talk to Su Qing, but she ignored her with an arrogant look.

Zhang Jinglin led people to stand by her side, he was the one who blocked the Japanese pirates when they came to speak, and did not arouse the suspicion of the Japanese pirates along the way.

Because Lan Ting was like this when he was in Japan, apart from being respectful to the royal family and dignitaries, he always treated them like this.

"There are a few fishing boats from the Tang Dynasty behind."

A crew member came to report to the captain.

"Crush them to pieces."

The captain leaned over the side of the ship, took a look, and gave the order to ram the ship.

"There are important people on the boat, they are just fishermen from Datang, don't make any troubles and hurry on your way."

Su Qing spoke suddenly, reprimanding the captain with an unquestionable command tone.

"Yes."

The captain hesitated, but in the end he followed Su Qing's order and ordered the crew to speed up.

Zhang Jinglin watched the captain and the others frightened for a while, but fortunately the empress gave the order, otherwise all the people on board would have died.

They all grew up on dry roads, and there are not many soldiers with good water skills. Even if they are good water skills, they cannot survive in this boundless sea.

Just now he impulsively wanted to order someone to control the pirates on the boat, seize the boat and go back, but that would ruin the empress' plan, so he had to endure it.

The fishing boat in the back was far behind and gradually disappeared. Zhang Jinglin frowned. He brought ten people with him. Although there were more than 30 Japanese pirates on board, they had no problem capturing the boat.

But it would be impossible to go to Dongying Kingdom. If there is no one to respond, only a dozen of them can't protect the empress. This plan is too risky.

Zhang Jinglin looked at Su Qing secretly, and admired her more and more in his heart. Obviously, the empress was younger than him, but her calmness and courage in the face of danger were beyond his reach.

Seeing such a calm and composed empress, Zhang Jinglin's heart stabilized, and with the empress, even mountains of swords and seas of fire could be calmed down.

I don't know if the captain did it on purpose. The ship arrived in the waters of Dongying Kingdom after dark in the morning. Although it was already dark, the pier was still shining like daylight.
