The most unlucky crossing in history

How could Zhong Qiyun be willing?

According to Xie Wenyuan's meaning, parting is the end point, Hangzhou Jingzhao Road is far away from people's hearts, and time will pass in the future, just waiting for him to fade away from this thought.

Zhong Qiyun thought, if this thought could really disappear, he would have disappeared long ago.It's because it can't be eliminated, it's because the brain, heart, and wherever the eyes go...everything is yearning for and looking for this dazzling person.

Zhong Qiyun has never been so eager to get a person, eager to take his smell, body, and feelings as his own, and not let anyone touch or covet him.

He had already fallen into Xie Wenyuan's abyss-like eyes, and he never had a chance to escape, even enjoying it.

But......

Looking at the mighty officials and soldiers waiting under the boat, even though they were here to welcome the second prince, Zhong Qiyun couldn't tell that those respectful people below were not waiting for Xie Wenyuan?

After the chaos in Hangzhou last year, the third prince lost power and also lost control of the southeast.Zhong Qiyun had heard that several forces in the DPRK took the opportunity to seize it, but it still fell into the hands of Xie Wenyuan. Although it was just hearsay, it seems to be true now.

Not only these officials, but also the second prince on the ship, Shendu was defeated by Xie Wenyuan in the first battle, and even the deadly handle of him colluding with Shendu's foreign enemies fell into Xie Wenyuan's hands...

Zhong Qiyun didn't know how Xie Wenyuan would report what happened to Shendu to Emperor Feng Zheng after he returned to the court, but there was no doubt that Tan Yuanjin's future was now completely controlled by Xie Wenyuan.

Since leaving Shendu, this person is no longer as proud as when he left Daqing years ago.Just like disembarking and leaving now, although he is walking ahead, those people below, no one knows who has the power now.

It can be said that the experience of going to sea in the past few months can be said to be full of dangers, but Zhong Qiyun is very clear that such traps can only be said to be insignificant compared to the current situation in the Daqing Dynasty.

The real danger began when Xie Wenyuan set foot on the land of Dazhu alive.

Zhong Qiyun understands all of these, that is, he understands the danger Xie Wenyuan is in now, and cannot tolerate any mistakes, and cannot tolerate delays due to his random actions.

One wrong step, it may be the distance between life and death.

He, Zhong Qiyun, is not yet strong enough to protect his sweetheart, nor is he capable of obtaining this person who is in the center of power and admired by thousands of people. There is still a huge gap between him and Xie Wenyuan waiting for him to cross.

Before that, those

A wanton desire at sea can't show an iota...  

Even he himself will never allow Xie Wenyuan, the person he cherishes and cherishes, to fail in his many years of planning because of him.

In Zhong Qiyun's eyes staring at Xie Wenyuan, there was love and tenderness that he didn't realize, "Now that you are still on this ship, you are still within the scope of my ability, and you can still talk nonsense. A few words."

Zhong Qiyun said slowly again: "But, I will not make things difficult for you or put you in a dangerous situation. After leaving this ship, I will never say or mention some things...I, too It won't be like this..." Staring at you.

"You say you are a best friend, then I will listen to you and be a 'best friend'."

"..."

Zhong Qiyun didn't say the whole thing, but Xie Wenyuan understood everything, his fingers trembled slightly, and the corners of Xie Wenyuan's lips curled up into an arc that could not be considered a smile. What Zhong Qiyun meant was to give up, just like he originally wanted As expected, just thinking of this, but my heart doesn't feel relaxed as expected, instead, a sense of boredom gradually fills me.

Xie Wenyuan lowered his eyes, his voice could not detect any emotion, "Brother Zhong is a man, I believe it, and what happened during this period must be kept secret."

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan, and said after a while: "That's not what I'm talking about...and that's not what I mean..."

"That's all." Zhong Qiyun shook his head with a smile, he knew that Xie Wenyuan had deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, "Xie Wenyuan, just remember the 'parting' you just said and the 'parting' in your heart I will never, never will."

He closed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, Zhong Qiyun had already suppressed all his emotions in his heart, "Wait for me to cross that'sorrow', it won't be too long... ..."

The sighing voice seemed to fall into my heart, and it collided with what Zhong Qiyun said on the boat that day, "The person I like, Zhong Lingyuxiu, is the best person in the world. I have to stand shoulder to shoulder with him at the same height", as if The lake of heart that weighs as much as a thousand pieces of gold and fell into it together created waves that could not be ignored, disturbing the peace in the eyes.

I don't want to embarrass you, and I don't want you to be in danger because of my incompetence, so I promise you to only be that 'best friend', but when I stand shoulder to shoulder with you...

Xie Wenyuan's pupils constricted suddenly, and he fully understood what Zhong Qiyun was thinking.

The four eyes met, and no one avoided the entanglement of their eyes at this moment.For a long time, neither of them spoke.Until the officials from the Ministry of Rites under the ship came to call Xie Wenyuan.

Xie Wenyuan had a few conversations with that person, and after they got off the boat, he turned around and said to Zhong Qiyun: "

If we leave today, we shouldn't be heading north with the boat. "Although Yu Zhong Qiyun said that it depends on Tan Yuanjin's decision whether to go with the ship to Beishan Hangzhou, but Xie Wenyuan also knows that it is impossible to return to the fleet.

In this way, today is really going to say goodbye.

"Then..." Zhong Qiyun breathed out lightly, "Let's just leave here?"

Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun and nodded: "Here, thank you Brother Zhong for taking care of you during these days." After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands at Zhong Qiyun, then turned around and wanted to leave.

There are so many complicated people below, Zhong Qiyun has decided to be friends temporarily, so naturally he won't show any other intimacy.He only watched Xie Wenyuan and his party leave in a mighty manner.

Spring in Quanzhou was already strong at the end of March, and when Xie Wenyuan was sent away, Zhong Qiyun suddenly felt empty and a little uncomfortable. Quanzhou will be repaired for three days, and then return to Hangzhou at full speed!"

After arranging the matters of the fleet, Zhang Zhenfeng stayed quietly in his room this time because he was "frightened" on the return journey. Zhang Zhenfeng, who hadn't wandered around anymore, walked over with a fan and a smile, followed by a group of Zhang's family members.

"Young master Zhang is planning to return directly to Luzhou from Quanzhou?" Zhong Qiyun glanced at the chariots and horses under the boat that had already loaded Zhang Zhenfeng's goods, and said, "Let's leave today?"

Zhang Zhenfeng bowed his phoenix eyes and nodded: "Yes, I came here to bid farewell to brother Qiyun." He sighed again: "This trip to the sea is really frightening, and it depends on the safety of the return." Brother Qiyun."

Of course Zhong Qiyun knew that Zhang Zhenfeng was just pretending to 'scare' and deceive Wei Hechao and Prince Tan Yuanyong.It's just that Zhang Zhenfeng couldn't tell him about this, so Zhong Qiyun also pretended not to know, just smiled and said: "Master Zhang was surprised, it was indeed the fleet's lack of thoughtfulness that allowed the pirates to take advantage of it, it should be my boss who asked you It's an apology."

"Hey, brother Qiyun is serious," Zhang Zhenfeng said with a smile, "You and I are so close, why would you say 'sorry', let alone it happened so suddenly, no one thought of it."

"Since Mr. Zhang has said so, I will no longer be polite. I only hope that the business between our two companies will last forever."

"Naturally." Zhang Zhenfeng said with a smile, "Now that we've docked, I've worked hard on the boat for so long, and I'm familiar with Quanzhou. Why don't you come and find a good place to have fun with me, brother Qiyun?" Take it easy?"

The good place in Zhangzhen's mouth is of course Fireworks and Willow Lane.Zhong Qiyun hooked his lips, and smiled with a bland smile: "Young Master Zhang kindly favored a certain person, and now it's late in the evening, I still have some things to do."

If you want to do it, I won't go to that good place with you. "

Zhang Zhenfeng was stunned when he heard the words: "Oh yes, I remember that Brother Qi Yun is from Quanzhou, so if he wants to come to his hometown, he naturally has a lot of things to do."

Zhong Qiyun didn't deny it, but only said to see off the guest: "Mr. Zhang, go slowly, I won't see you off here."

After the Zhang family left, Zhong Qiyun told Jiang Sicheng to guard the boat, and then he called Liu Wang and went to the city.

He has been away from Daqing for too long, and urgently needs to know the current situation of Daqing, the most important thing is the situation of Chengfengyi and Zhong's fleet, as well as the current situation of the rise of various ship merchants.

In ancient times, there were no media, news, and newspapers as in modern times. The only places where people can learn about world affairs are the notice boards of the government, the storyteller's place in teahouses, and the clubs where literati, inkmen, and merchants gather.

There is an unnamed teahouse in Quanzhou, where traders often come and go. Zhong Qiyun took Liu Wangcai to that place.

After casually ordering some refreshments, Liu Wang made some inquiries, looking for a merchant from Hangzhou City to buy some news.

After half an hour passed, Zhong Qiyun had a general idea of ​​the situation of the big ship merchant.

Before Zhong Qiyun left, he had given He Minqing the development plan of Chengfeng Station and the Zhong Family Fleet, and He Minqing had also done a good job. According to his requirements, the follow-up projects of Songjiang Port and Yuhuan Port were completed and doubled in size. Chengfengyi store added [-] ships to the fleet and seized most of the market early.

But indeed, as Zhong Qiyun estimated, in the past four months, there have been frequent occurrences of big sea merchants, and even a few good merchants have appeared.

However, it is not enough to pose a threat to the Zhong family fleet.

"Brother Zhong, what do you plan to do in the future? I heard that these fleets want to take the opportunity to cooperate with you to form a large caravan when you leave...Will they treat us..."

Zhong Qiyun took a sip of tea and smiled: "Don't worry, it's impossible. The temporary caravan is scattered, and it's easy to break it down."

Liu Wangcai was curious: "Brother Zhong, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Zhong Qiyun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course."

Liu Wangcai still wanted to ask more questions, but seeing the crowds in the teahouse gradually increasing, he kept his mouth shut.

"I know what I should know, where are we going later?" Liu Wangcai asked in a low voice, "Quanzhou is Lu Huang's territory, Brother Zhong, you and him have been at odds for a long time, and now our ship is causing such a commotion , he probably already knows that you are back, so he doesn't know if something will happen to him."

Zhong Qiyun smiled and shook his head: "If he had some brains, he wouldn't be looking for trouble now."

"That's right," Liu Wang said with a smile: "Now we ship

The property of the team is more than ten times higher than that of his Lu family..."

When Liu Wangcai said this, he heard that the other table happened to be talking about Lu's affairs, and he exchanged a glance with Zhong Qiyun. The two of them stopped talking, drinking tea and slowly listening to what the three peddlers had to say.

"What do you think Lu Huang is thinking? His precious daughter is now eighteen. Why hasn't he been engaged to her all this time? Didn't he say that his daughter's family should be engaged on the day of her sixteenth birthday party?"

"Who knows, if I can guess what the richest man in Quanzhou thinks, I won't be racing here now."

"Hey, I heard that Lu Huang has always wanted to marry his daughter to the new governor of Quanzhou, but he didn't know that the governor didn't want to marry her, hahahaha."

"Yes, yes, although his daughter is well-behaved, she has a pampered and indulgent temper. Who would want to marry such a rowdy person and serve her at home?"

"Hey, but I was lucky enough to deal with the housekeeper of the Lu family a few days ago. I heard that Master Lu's favorite son-in-law is the owner of the Zhong family's fleet."

"Puff—cough cough cough..." Liu Wang, who was listening to their conversation, spit out a mouthful of tea, causing several people over there to look over.

"Why, this little brother thinks what I said is wrong?" The Hangzhou man frowned, looked at Zhong Qiyun and Liu Wangcai, and said.

Zhong Qiyun glanced at Liu Wangcai, who was holding back his smile, and then smiled at those people and said, "No, brother, you misunderstood, it was my brother who choked on tea just now."

Seeing that person's expression softened, Zhong Qiyun apologized to those people again, then got up and said to Liu Wangcai: "Since we are full, let's go."

Liu Wangcai hastily responded.

After leaving the teahouse, Liu Wang couldn't help it, and laughed again: "Brother Zhong, I think there are no waves without wind, maybe Lu Huang really has that meaning..."

"If you are bored, why not follow Yang Xiangdong to memorize the nautical chart several times?"

"No, no, no, no, I was wrong. I shouldn't be talking nonsense. There is no need to memorize the chart. I don't have the ability of Miss Xiangdong to memorize the chart backwards."

"Then shut up."

"Yes!"

However, when the two returned to the harbor where the Black Whale was docked, they actually ushered in an unexpected visitor.

Seeing Zhong Qiyun come back, Lu Huang smiled all over his face, and greeted him affectionately: "Brother Zhong, brother Zhong, it's been a long time. Brother Lu really misses you so much!"

"..."

What the heck.
