Chapter 237

Listening to Cheng Xiao chattering for half an hour, Qing Xia always smiled faintly.It feels really good to see old friends. During these years outside the customs, even the chances of meeting Han people are very small, let alone acquaintances.

After talking for a long time, Cheng Xiao finally stopped, and said embarrassingly: "Don't blame me for being long-winded, it's been a long time since I saw you, you are heartless, and you don't know how to send letters back often, which makes me worry."

Qing Xia smiled and said: "I often don't see a single person outside the pass for several months. Where can I send a letter?"

"Hey!" Cheng Xiao sighed, and said, "It's dangerous for you to travel so far for a lonely woman. Listen to me, don't go out again when you come back this time, just wait here with me. Mr. Qin, if he finishes his work, he will definitely come back. Look at you, you have wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, and you are not too young, do you still want to run around like this?"

Qing Xia shook her head and smiled, said: "Cheng Xiao, I came today to say goodbye to you."

"What? You still want to go?"

"En," Qing Xia nodded and said: "This time, I may not come back soon, if he comes back, you will give this to him."

A thick envelope was placed in Cheng Xiao's hand, and the round belly woman's eyes suddenly became wet, and she couldn't bear to say: "Where are you going to suffer this time? Can't you take a break? You are so careless Looking for the purpose, can you really find him?"

"Maybe it's difficult." Qing Xia suddenly smiled and raised her head. The sun shines on her face, which has a kind of magnificence that seems unreal, "But if you look around, there will always be a glimmer of life. More and more people know that I am looking for him, and he will hear the news sooner or later. Then, maybe he will come back to see me as soon as he can't bear it."

"Cheng Xiao, thank you, I'm leaving, take care."

After saying that, Qing Xia stood up, put on the hood, and wrapped her whole body in the wide cloak. She was dressed in a milky white linen robe, making her petite body thinner and thinner.Cheng Xiao couldn't help but asked, "At least tell me where you're going. Do you still have to go outside the customs? Haven't you already traveled all over?"

Qing Xia shook her head, the veil covered her face, only revealing a pair of bright eyes.

"I'm going to go to sea, maybe I will go a long way, but I will always come back, here, after all, is my home."

The woman smiled brightly, turned and left, walked through the noisy lobby, her white clothes looked so ordinary, and disappeared in the noisy crowd in a blink of an eye.

Qingxia rode for more than half a month before arriving at Cihai City, a commercial port in Dongqi.

Haishi is the capital of Dongqi, but here is the most prosperous place in Dongqi, and it is called the second Haishi by the people of Dongqi.Even now that the prince of the Eastern Qi Dynasty is rebelling and there are many regimes, the prosperity of this place is still intact.

Four years ago, Penglai Immortal Valley had opened a secret passage, and Zhu Yuanqing left the valley with a group of loyal and reliable Penglai disciples.Although Qingpeng's Seven Divisions have recognized Qingxia as the main force in name, but at present, only the Penglai Industry Division has the name of Qingxia.Most of the other ministries, after thousands of years of experience in the world, have already had two hearts and secretly surrendered to the dignitaries. For example, the Southern Xinjiang Wuxiandu Division was divided into two, belonging to Eastern Qi and Southern Chu.This is only on the surface, and the rest of the unknown is even more unknown.

Qingxia has no ambitions for the world, nor cares about it, Zhu Yuanqing is alert and far-sighted, so he naturally understands the reasons why, so he doesn't force it.It’s just that they are keeping their own ground and earnestly managing their own forces on the mainland. After all, Penglai has lived underground for many years. Even if it masters some high-tech, it is difficult to become a powerful party. Without hundreds of years of accumulation, it is difficult to have the ability to compete with the powerful and powerful long and short.

After arriving at the port, Penglai's disciples had been waiting for a long time. When Qingxia left three years ago, she asked Zhu Yuanqing to build her a large ship suitable for going to sea. Got a nautical chart.Seeing this picture, Qing Xia was even more sure that the so-called Liang Si came from modern people. Looking at this Zheng He's nautical chart that Daming used countless silver and life to shed, Qing Xia couldn't help but smile, The wonder of the world is beyond words. Who would have thought that one day she would take Zheng He's nautical charts and travel across the oceans before Zheng He?
Then there is the recruitment of sailors, which is more troublesome. It is very difficult for Qingxia to find professional sailors who are willing to go so far and cannot return home for many years.On the contrary, there are some idlers in the sea city, who heard that there is such a big ship going out to sea, and they all crazy want to take this Siyuan to go out and see the world.

Qingxia stayed in Haishi like this for more than half a month. In the past half month, the civil war in Eastern Qi became more and more fierce. I heard that King Qiyu of Jinan and King Taiping Qiyan joined forces and instigated spies in the capital to rebel, forcing the prince Qi'an who was staying in the capital to fight In great chaos, the army entered Haishi City, Qi'an was defeated all the way, and had already come towards Cihai City.

Qing Xia frowned slightly when she heard that, after experiencing the past between Chu Li and Qin Zhiyan, it was hard for her to believe what she saw with her eyes. Such a miserable defeat.Compared to other people in Haishi who were panicked, Qingxia, the younger sister whom Qi An openly admitted that day at the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Northern Qin Dynasty, did not have any major mood swings.Besides, even if he really has something, she can't stop it.Winners and losers have always been like this, and she can't help worrying about it.

Just when the flames of war reached Cihai City, God, who had been blind for many years, suddenly opened his eyes. When Qingxia was recruiting people on the horse's head in the morning, he suddenly met the four Westerners who met on the streets of Pengyang five years ago. missionary.

It turned out that the results of these guys’ missionary work in China were a mess. After traveling for several years, they didn’t develop a single believer, and their lives were extremely desolate, so they came up with the idea of ​​returning to God and wanting to go back to China by boat.

It's a pity that God's wish is not fulfilled. In the past few years in China, these guys have sold almost all their belongings in order to live and eat. If the clothes on their bodies were not too tattered, these guys might have exchanged their last pair of underwear for a long time. Noodles to eat.Just like that, the few people who didn't have a penny in their bodies wanted to sneak onto the cargo ship going out to sea, but the owner found out and drove them off.Just when a group of sailors with big arms and round waists were about to fight with each other, Qing Xia came out and took them away, so there were these few free laborers with the most experience, no wages, and a fanatical attitude.

In the early morning of the next day, a captain, four helmsmen, and more than 30 sailors, the big ship Siyuan was finally opened amidst the rumble of war at the city gate, and sailed to the vast sea.

Jinan Wang Qiyu was dressed in a golden robe, walking proudly on the streets of Cihai City, with a special kind of joy in his heart.He was suppressed by his elder brother all his life, and his father didn't take him seriously. Now that he finally got old, and defeated his elder brother by external force, how could he not let go of his heart.

Just when he was full of joy, a young man in a dark blue robe and a Nanchu hat suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "King Jinan, you must keep in mind what our great emperor ordered. .”

The deep words were like a basin of cold water pouring on Qi Yu's head, and he quickly said submissively: "That is, that is, I will definitely remember it, and I will never forget it."

"That's good," Xu Quan nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, I will not prevent the king of Jinan from becoming the master of Cihai City and becoming the new master of the Eastern Qi Dynasty."

Qi Yu smiled and said: "Master Xu, please go ahead, Haishi is as rich as the imperial capital of Haishi. Master Xu might as well go to our Haishifang and taste the charm of my Eastern Qi girl."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. Naturally, Xu can't let himself come here for nothing."

The two smiled knowingly, but there were so many unknown storms hidden in that smile.

As soon as he left the main street, Xu Quan's smiling face sank. He looked left and right, got into the sedan chair carried by his subordinates, changed into gorgeous clothes in a short while, and walked out swaggeringly. Following a group of subordinates, they headed towards Haishifang.

The surroundings gradually became quiet, and soon after, a bearded man who only looked a little like Xu Quan, with his head down, was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, walked out of the sedan chair, and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye. into the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

On the horse's head in the sea port, a long-bearded man walked into a small dock as if nothing had happened. After a while, the boat was floating and rowing. On the bow, there were still fishermen leisurely Casting a net, like a fisherman's common people.

The boat sailed for a while, and finally stopped at a slightly secluded bay.A few fishermen casting nets immediately looked around, how could they look like ordinary fishermen with their posture and skill?

A man in a black robe slowly walked out of the dock, his eyes seemed to be frozen in the mirror lake, and there was a faint sharpness that was hidden but not revealed, and his whole body was restrained, but he could still see the fierce and aloof attitude that he often occupies in the top position. Courageous, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, Fengshen Yulang, is the emperor of Southern Chu, Chu Li, who swallows all directions and eight barren lands and holds half of the world's swords in his hands!
Xu Quan, who put on makeup, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything is as you expected, Qi Yu was really fooled. Compared with his brother, he is really far behind."

After five years of hard work, Chu Li is no longer the resolute and arrogant king he once was.Now he is more like an emperor with power over the world, calm and calm under the applause, his voice is low, and he said slowly: "Qi An is also a character, but it's a pity that the benevolence of a woman has lost her luck again. After all, it will be difficult to support the beams of the Eastern Qi Dynasty."
