Chapter 728: Fortune Favors the Bold, Misfortune Befalls Tho

ell ~ the schemes in the palace... 。The people from Duke Su's Residence came to ask for someone, but they actually wanted the child in Ye Hongzhuang's belly. 。Evidently, the Empress Dowager also anti...The boatman was very happy because he had received too much silver, and he generously announced that all the melon seeds would be free during the voyage. 。It's fortunate that the rooms assigned to Ye Wenyan and his companions are all upper-floor rooms, spacious enough. Each room has a tea table, but it's a pity there aren't many snacks. 。The boatman said: "Everything except melon seeds costs extra. Just tell us what you need." 。"

Feng Zhaolian was so angry she almost hit the sailor, but fortunately he ran fast enough, only getting kicked on his butt. " 。When dividing the rooms, Feng Zhaolian played tricks and insisted on sharing a room with Quan Qinghua. She was dragged away by Ji Ronglian. 。She was unwilling to accept this, and asked: "Then why can A-Yan share a room with his husband Why can't I share a room with Quan Qinghua"

Ji Rong said: “Ancestor, please speak softly. This is on a ship, not our own home. You just call out the Fourth Prince’s name like that. What if someone overhears us We would be in danger! Besides, the Master and the Emperor are betrothed, they have a name and a bond. You and the Fourth Prince at most are simply fond of each other. Moreover, the Fourth Prince hasn't explicitly stated that he favors you, how can you so proactively offer yourself up A girl’s innocence is very important!”

Feng Zhaolian said: “I don't intend to offer myself! Sharing a room is nothing, what does it have to do with my innocence Does sleeping in his room for one night mean I lose my innocence Quan Qinghua wouldn’t be so heartless as to go that far, would he This is on a ship after all!”

Ji Rong wanted to cover her mouth. "Anyway, no matter what, you must stay with me tonight" >>> 。Finally, the two returned home. Quan Qinghua rubbed his nose, feeling he had to find a chance to thank Ji Rong. 。This girl, Feng Zhaolian, is utterly crazy. If she really insisted on sharing a room with him, he might not be able to refuse her. 。The rooms were allocated reasonably. Quan Qinghua and Tianya shared a room, while Jiedu and Yunxiao shared another. Ji Rong took Feng Zhaolian with her, while Shi Lifen took Ye Wenyan. 。Only that Yun Xiao had to choose a room next to Feng Zhaolian when choosing a room, saying it was convenient for protection. 。Jié Dù just said, “With my younger sister following the princess, nothing will happen.” 。Yet Yun Xiao was still not at ease. 。At the stroke of one o'clock, the ship finally set sail. 。Outside, the sky was darker than midday. It already felt like nighttime at this hour. 。 It hadn't been long before a boatman came over to ask if we wanted to order dinner. Ordering dinner costs two silver taels per person. 。Many people think it's too expensive, the food on board is just simple things, they saw it when they boarded the ship, the ship owner brought up the ingredients which are not uncommon, and even brought a lot of steamed buns 。"Two or three silver coins! The boatman is too heartless!"

People opened the door and expressed their dissatisfaction, loudly criticizing the boatman. 。Feng Zhaolian also opened the door and shouted outside, “Now you know the boatman is dishonest When you boarded the ship, why didn't you think about this being a dishonest boatman Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to charge you double and take so many people." 。"He also said the boat wasn't theirs. Who ever heard of someone paying 3,000 taels of silver to ride a boat and still allowing the boatman to take other passengers Alright, if you want to eat, hurry up and pay! If not, go back to your rooms. It's all your own fault!"He then tossed a handful of silver towards them, "This is for our four rooms!"The boatman chuckled as he took the silver, walking away while saying, "Grab what you want to eat quickly, because there's a lot of it! If you don't order it soon, it'll all be gone." 。We won't be able to resupply until the next dock, which is three days away. 。Though people were unwilling, there was no other way but to pay. 。Those with a little less money can share one dish between two people and only pay a couple of. 。But besides those who could afford a room, there were some people who didn't have that much money to stay in a room. They just sat on the floor by the ship's hold. 。A couple of silver coins for a meal was too extravagant for them, so they haggled with the boatman about lowering the price. 。Unfortunately, the boatman wouldn't give them a discount, so they had to pool their money together in groups of three or five to make sure they could at least afford enough food to survive. 。Yè Wēn yán entered the house and began to unravel his hair. After a long time, he still didn't understand how it worked, and he got frustrated: "This place is really troublesome! It takes so much effort just to comb your hair! Back home, we only needed to tie it up casually, even wearing it loose would look good." 。Now it's great, wasting half an hour every day just combing my hair. 。"

Shi Li Yuan quickly came over to help his wife smooth her hair, “Don’t move, let me take it out for you.” 。He personally took his daughter-in-law's hair down, his long fingers weaving through her long hair, and in no time, he smoothed out the tangled strands. 。The daughter-in-law was very pleased: “Since the Emperor is so skilled at this, why don’t you take over this task for these few days” 。“There's no need for these days, from now on I can comb your hair for you.” 。He tried casting a spell while talking, attempting to dry her rain-soaked hair. But after several tries, he was unsuccessful and had to give up in frustration. 。"Still no use" Ye Wenyan was also a bit worried, "Have you ever encountered this situation before" Shi Linyuan shook his head, "Still...no, and it's never happened before." 。Even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared, it wouldn't make much difference to me. 。I once wondered why cultivators would choose suicide. Now I understand. Having your spiritual energy suddenly disappear, being unable to draw upon it anymore, when you could once breathe in the energy of heaven and earth, is worse than death itself. 。"

I wonder when this rain will stop!" Ye Wenyan got up and sat by the window. Outside, it was very dark, the wind was particularly strong, and even though the window was only opened a small crack, the wind rushed in. Shi Lifen quickly closed the window. 。"Stop looking, or you'll catch a cold." 。Right now, we have no spiritual energy to protect us. We're not much different from ordinary people. At most, we're just very skilled martial artists. So we need to be careful in everything we do. 。"Why is it suddenly so cold" Ye Wen couldn't understand. "We're heading south, shouldn't it get warmer the further we go It's like deep autumn outside now." 。In a few more days, wouldn't it be winter already People can understand rainy days, but for summer to turn into winter is a big deal for the common people. 。The situation at court had finally stabilized somewhat, and the Regent King had finally made a solemn vow to protect the Emperor until he came of age. 。If the people's hearts are not at ease, then all the efforts of the court will be in vain. 。"If it truly is wasted, then that's his fate. " 。"Shi Liyuan said, 'No one wants to face a natural disaster, but if they must, I hope he can show the bearing of an emperor.'" 。Natural disasters are not to be feared, but losing courage in the face of them is what truly terrifying. 。If he really is as pathetic as you think, then this master has wasted his time taking him on as a disciple. 。" Ye Wenyansmiled, "The saying 'A harsh teacher produces a brilliant student' is truly right. As your disciple, you must have a strong heart inside, otherwise, your master will be disappointed." 。"Master Li Yi, isn't your former master like this So you are learning from him to teach the Qingcheng" "No" 。"Shi Li Yuan shook his head, "My master was much stricter with me. Even after the celestial qi disappeared, he didn't care if I lived or died. Instead, he went to the edge of heaven and shattered a cultivator's heart meridian with one palm." 。When I found his body, he still had a smile on his face. I don't know why he was smiling. 。But I think he ran to the edge of the sky for a reason. Given his personality, he probably ran all the way there, pointed at the heavens and cursed God out before dying. 。He's the kind of person who, even in death, wouldn't go down without taking someone else with him. 。Even if Heaven wouldn't take the blame for him, he would still go to the place closest to Heaven and curse his lungs out. 。After being scolded, this life will be over. Otherwise, even if he dies, he will fight God to the end. 。"That was quite an interesting person" 。Ye Wen thought about what Guan Bao had said, then thought about what Shi Liyuan had said. He felt more and more that the senior called Yan Budu was a very interesting person. 。"It's a pity he left too early and I arrived too late, we didn't have the chance to meet. Otherwise, I would definitely have met him, and maybe life would be more exciting." 。She had a moment of longing, which dispelled her worries about Quan Qingcheng. 。On second thought, I also agree with Shi Liyuan. She can't keep supporting Quan Qingcheng all the time. The boy will eventually grow into a great emperor, and if she keeps supporting him, she would be holding him back. 。“What do you think the Wanhanshan Sea looks like now” she asked Shi Lifen, while making her own guess, “Could it have another tsunami This time, neither of us could get there in time. If a tsunami really happens, wouldn’t the people of Chiyun City be in trouble”Shi Lifen thought for a moment and said, “It shouldn't be a tsunami. Compared to this guess, I lean more towards Wanhanshan Sea being frozen…” 。"Frozen That's impossible!" she immediately shook her head, "It's not possible, the sea is so vast, how could it possibly freeze" 。"

"Guessing only" 。“He said, 'We don't know what's going on over there now. With our spiritual energy unavailable, we can only rely on human methods and rush south day by day.'” 。To catch up, it's luck. 。If you can't keep up, it's fate. 。He paused here, then continued, "Actually, even if we catch up, it depends on whether our spiritual power can recover" 。If the weather there is like this, it's likely that mana won't work. 。Then what's the difference between catching up and not catching up A-Yan, perhaps on this trip south, the only thing you can hope for is to see your friend. 。"You mean... we're facing a boundless sea, helpless" She smiled wryly. "If this is where helplessness begins, how can we face the cosmic catastrophe in the future Shi Liyuan, do you think the heavens are intentionally toying with us There's a great tribulation in heaven and earth, but he takes away our abilities during such a tribulation. Then aren't we going to face the disaster just like ordinary people We have no way to fight back, wouldn't ordinary people only be able to wait for death What about all the things we thought about before, how to counter the catastrophe, extend our lifespans Wouldn't it all become empty talk"She became agitated as she spoke, and while speaking, she stood up. 。Shi Liyuan wanted to say not to worry, There's a way for cars to reach the mountains, everything now is just speculation. 。Before he could even speak, there was a knock at the door: "Gentlemen, I'm just a boatman, here to bring you some melon seeds..."wife, just a common wife, not a divorced one. What are you Xiao family crying, fussing, and threatening suicide for What qualifications do you have to come to my Ye family and interfere What face do y...
