The most unlucky crossing in history

That should be something that neither of them has ever experienced before. It makes people anxious and irritable, makes people itchy, and makes people want to stop their love...

The oil lamps and candles outside did not know when they were extinguished, and the night suddenly became too short. After helping Xie Wenyuan clean up, Zhong Qiyun had to leave quietly before the dawn when he was still thinking about it.

Back in his room, Zhong Qiyun sighed several times as he recalled the scenes not long ago.

It's obvious that the two sides agree with each other, and they are the people who love each other the most. They should be fair and honest, but now it's really like a private meeting.

No, no, this is not the way, they are aboveboard, if they are still like this in the next few decades, how can they do it?Gotta figure out a way...

It's just that those who will think about it later, the most important thing right now is to rush to Qingzhou.

Zhong Qiyun, who hadn't slept yet, got up and strode to the bow of the boat, and took over Liu Guan's task of leading the boat with a smile.

It was another sunny day, Xie Wenyuan slept a little longer this day, and not long after he woke up, some breakfasts he liked were delivered from the ship's galley, and as in the past, people quietly took a lot of ice cubes sent to his house.

In the past few days on the boat, except last night, no one could enter the house to change the ice, and his house was much cooler than the other ones during the rest of the time.

In fact, for Xie Wenyuan, he just likes heat and dryness, but it is not intolerable.In the past years, especially when he went to the Northwest Desert Gobi with Xie Cheng when he was a teenager, he was still comfortable with the scorching heat, let alone this climate.

It's not that he hasn't told Zhong Qiyun about it, he told him about this matter in his Hangzhou house a few days ago, but Zhong Qiyun nodded and smiled that day, but he still didn't change it afterwards.

I'm afraid that no ice cellar in the country is as big as Zhong's.

Xie Wenyuan shook his head, didn't think about it any more, just walked to the table and ate breakfast slowly.

On this day, the big ship sailed to the waters east of Weizhou at a speed that had never been seen since it was launched. Not only the boatmen on the ship had an eye-opening discussion for a day, but even several Beijing officials saw Zhong Qiyun. He stayed for a long time while leading the boat like that.

When the night fell and the officials gathered together for dinner, they also started talking.

"It's only half a day, he's going from Panyun City to Weizhou."

"If you go by land car

Ma, I'm afraid it will take three or four days to go. "

"Will we be able to reach Qingzhou at noon tomorrow? This boss of the Zhong family is indeed quite capable."

Even Feng Ping, who was about to fight with Zhong Qiyun yesterday for his air qualification, couldn't help sighing: "I just heard it and didn't take it seriously, but I saw it with my own eyes, and I, Feng Yidao, understood why Zhong Qiyun dared to be so arrogant. .”

Xie Wenyuan, who had been listening to the other people talking, said slowly: "There is madness, but there is no arrogance. The real ability is the capital of Zhong Qiyun's madness in this sea that everyone fears. He is not arrogant. He can Let the Zhong family spread all over the country."

Feng Ping nodded in agreement.It is not easy to start from scratch, but in just a few years, this person has allowed the Zhong family's monthly income to catch up with the sum of Zhang and Zhou's families. It is said that literati and poets are the most admired, but right now a literati like me can't help but admire him."

"Which one is higher and which one is lower? Which one is more expensive and which one is lower? If the Four Books and Five Classics are not limited, and if sailing for business becomes learning for exams, so what about literati," Xie Wenyuan shook his head and smiled, "We literati are no match for him. "

Unprecedented, it was the first time that Xie Wenyuan said this kind of evaluation of literati in front of people, which made Chu Huaize and others stunned for a while. In their view, Xie Wenyuan has always been a person who respects literature, and it is because of this that he is At this point in the stalemate with Xie Cheng, although Xie Wenyuan's words are not contemptuous of literati, it does not match his usual appearance of being full of literati arrogance, standing on a high place and looking down on others indifferently.

People from the same group as Xie Wenyuan should agree again and again, but Chu Huaize and others looked at Xie Wenyuan cautiously and remained silent for a long time.

What Chu Huaize and the others were thinking, Xie Wenyuan could guess without thinking about it, but he didn't care, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and slowly tasted the roast lamb in front of him.

At night, Zhong Qiyun repeated his old tricks and ran to Xie Wenyuan's room to rest for the night. Although he was not as affectionate as last night, Zhong Qiyun was still satisfied to be able to sleep with his beloved in his arms.

But perhaps it was because he hadn't slept the night before, and he had been busy for a whole day during the day. When Zhong Qiyun woke up, it was already dawn, and Xie Wenyuan had already got up.In fact, in the past, if sailing encountered fatal troubles, he might not close his eyes for several nights, but he would definitely get up on time the next morning. Ask Yuan, peace of mind

Ning let himself forget about these.

Listening to the noisy sounds on the deck, and occasionally hearing Feng Ping arguing with Chu Huaize, Zhong Qiyun turned sideways and looked at Xie Wenyuan who was slowly drinking tea and looking at the book at the desk in the inner room.

After being stared at by him for a long time, Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun and said, "If Brother Zhong doesn't remember, just sleep well."

"Get up now!" Zhong Qiyun laughed, and then turned over and got up to wash.

After washing up, he walked to Xie Wenyuan's desk, pouted his lips out of the closed window, smiled and whispered: "Master Xie, how should I go out like this?"

Xie Wenyuan raised his eyes to Zhong Qiyun when he heard the sound, "I'm afraid I have to wait for the boat to arrive in Qingzhou, and I can't go down until Brother Yuanren gets off the boat."

Xie Wenyuan's expression did not change, but there was a slight smile in his eyes looking at Zhong Qiyun.This appearance makes Zhong Qiyun like it even more in his heart.

He propped his hands on the table, and leaned forward again, and when he breathed, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, "Then I have to trouble Mr. Xie to stay with me in this small hut for two hours?"

Xie Wenyuan curled his lips: "If you don't bother me, then it will work."

When the lips touched, Zhong Qiyun said: "Master Xie, this is embarrassing Zhong..."

It is a seaport that can lead from the sea to important places such as Youzhou and Yanzhou in the northern part of Daqing. Not long after Zhong Qiyun built a ship docking port at Songjiangkou, he went north and bought an excellent docking bay.

Of course, all the people who came to Qingzhou this time did not just want to lead Chu Huaize and others to check the bay, but mainly because they wanted to bring Xie Wenyuan to see the sea.

Qingzhou is not like Xingyang and Chuzhou, which are the main points of business that extend in all directions. The city is not big and lives in a corner, but there are many people in Qingzhou City. Although it is not as good as Hangzhou, it is still considered rich.It's just because Qingzhou came out of the Taizu Emperor of the Dazhang Dynasty.

It is also because of this that many literati and merchants will come here for a walk, and they will also discover the rare beauty of Qingzhou Sea.

Zhong Qiyun naturally knew that in midsummer, Qingzhou is not too hot to the north, but it is not too cold. It is best to come here to relax and watch the sea at this time.

He bought a golden beach and a house here before, the sky is clear and blue, the waves are fine and white, it is really beautiful.

When he came to the land, Zhong Qiyun was busy dealing with Feng Ping and others during the day before. After noon, the sun gradually turned, so he asked the steward of Chengfeng Station to entertain a few people, and he directly led Xie Wenyuan to appreciate it. It's a great summer.

The sea breeze is slightly salty, and the seagulls are flying. Xie Wenyuan looked at the sea and the world, even though Zhong Qiyun beside him chattered endlessly, he still felt very comfortable in his heart.

At sunset, looking at the half-red face of the setting sun on the sea and the red clouds in the sky, Xie Wenyuan slowly said: "Perhaps I understand why the ancestors of the Zhang family left the officialdom back then and became the most famous person in the world. the last of the merchants."

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan.

"In the past, I couldn't figure out why this was so. The ancestors of the Zhang family could have made great achievements, but they gave up on the way, and even made it impossible for generations of descendants to obtain fame. If it was for that yellow and white thing, the price would be really high. A bit. But now that I think about it, there are many restrictions on being an official, and being a good official is even more burdensome, intriguing, breathless, and uncomfortable. Maybe what he wants is an unrestrained world of freedom."

Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun and said: "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see these scenery in my life. You let me see the beautiful scenery of the world and appreciate the customs and customs of various places. That's why I understand a little bit."

Zhong Qiyun thought about it for a while, and said: "The ancestors of the Zhang family were not suitable for being in the officialdom. Instead of struggling there, it would be better to leave, but..." Zhong Qiyun asked Xie Wenyuan The back hugged him, and said: "Wen Yuan is different from him. What he wants is the unfettered freedom of one person, but what Wen Yuan wants is the stability of the world and the well-being of the people. There are different desires and different choices. Zhang The ancestors of the family are for themselves, but Wen Yuan is for others, I don't know how to be better, but I admire and love you like this."

Xie Wenyuan laughed: "What if one day I don't want to serve the people?"

Zhong Qiyun laughed happily: "Wouldn't that be better? In this way, Wenyuan belongs to me completely."

Xie Wenyuan took a look at Zhong Qiyun, and said slowly: "If I had followed the ancestors of the Zhang family and left the court early, if you met me, then we would be enemies of the merchants?"

Zhong Qiyun thought for a while, and said: "Thanks to your lord's ability, if you are in business, you must be a wonderful person. But we will not be enemies."

"Oh? Why?"

"One, I knew when I saw you that I couldn't go against you. Second, I couldn't thank you for your insight, so you invited me to join you."

"Boss Zhong is willing to be left behind like this?" Xie Wenyuan naturally knew Zhong Qiyun, and Lu Huang couldn't pull him back.

Zhong Qiyun, even if Hu Yanzhang had such a heart, Zhong Qiyun would not waver at all, and even fought with him. With ability and virtue, he could make the Zhong family skyrocket. How could such a person take orders from others?

"Lu Huang and others are naturally not allowed, and everyone in this world is not allowed, but..." Zhong Qiyun said with a chuckle: "If it's you, then it's not necessarily true."

"..."

Xie Wenyuan shook his head, he thought for a while, and said, "But it's true as you said, I can't leave Jingzhao... at least not in these three or forty years... "

Zhong Qiyun knew the guilt of Xie Wenyuan's heart, he smiled and said: "I know, Wenyuan just do what you think should be done, and I, in your spare time, will watch the beautiful scenery of the world with you, and it will last forever ,Not in a hurry."

After Xie Wenyuan listened, he slowly leaned into Zhong Qiyun's arms, "Okay..."

After staying in Qingzhou for three days, Zhong Qiyun led Xie Wenyuan to look around and play all over, and prepared to go northward with the wind and then go to Jinghai. That night, Xie Wenyuan's spy knocked on the door and sent a letter letter.

Staying with Xie Wenyuan, Zhong Qiyun saw that Xie Wenyuan frowned slightly after reading the letter, and asked, "What's the matter? But something happened in Jingzhao City?"

Xie Wenyuan handed the letter to Zhong Qiyun. Zhong Qiyun paused, then took the letter and read it. There were only a few words in the letter, which read: "The general resigned from the position of general. The new emperor called the second son back to Beijing."

Zhong Qiyun frowned when he saw it: "Why did the general suddenly..."

"During that period of time, the general made people deliberately conceal it. Everyone thought that he had hurt his lungs, but they didn't know that his spine was injured more seriously. After a while, his injuries healed, but he couldn't stand up anymore."

If you can't stand up, you can't go to the battlefield. For a general, it is a fatal injury. Of course, Xie Cheng knows it better than anyone else.

Retiring as a general is inevitable, but...

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan, but, according to the rules, the position of general should be inherited by the heir of the Xie family, but now Tan Yuanyong has recalled Xie Wenzhuo, who is guarding the northwest, to Beijing... Isn't this Tell everyone, does he want Xie Wenzhuo to inherit the position of General?Isn't this just turning the two brothers against each other?

Thinking of this, Zhong Qiyun was a little worried, but he didn't know how to say, "This, Tan Yuanyong is like this..."

Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun and said, "It's okay, these are not big things."

"Ah?" Zhong Qiyun was stunned.

"The Uyghurs, especially the Uyghurs today, have the deepest grudges. The matter of Wei Hechao,

He was swayed by Da Qing, do you think he can let it go? "

When Xie Wenyuan said Zhong Qiyun, he understood, "The Xie family guarding the northwest has returned to Jingzhao... Ye Hezhe is ready to take the opportunity to attack?"

"I'm not sure about this time, but I think it won't be long. Ye Hezhe is afraid of the general, but he is not afraid of Xie Wenzhuo. It is probably because of this that the general made Ye Hezhe hide his illness. Be afraid."

But now I can't hide it...

"There is one more troublesome thing."

Zhong Qiyun's heart tightened, and he said, "What's the matter?"

"Before coming to Hangzhou, my subordinates got the news that King Shendu took a detour outside the Tianshan Mountains and met Ye Hezhe." Xie Wenyuan lowered his eyes and said, "I'm afraid Jingzhao will call me back to Beijing soon. "

The author has something to say: There is always sweetness.

Thanks for the support.
