Chapter 18

Just when the young man was about to throw the jade seal in his hand towards the tide, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "After three years, are you okay, little emperor? Wang Jin kowtowed to the little emperor."

The boy's hand stopped and he turned back slowly.

A figure appeared from the darkness of the night, with a hooked nose and a long face, a small blue hat, and an unusual dress. He said kowtow, but he bowed vainly, his expression was like a smile but not a smile, and his eyes were shining under the moon. It is bright, with a cold light like a poisonous snake, and under the night, it is even more daunting.

The boy's expression changed slightly, his shoulders moved, and the man said again: "Little emperor, if you dare to jump into the sea or smash something in your hand, the little girl from the Zhen family will end up worse than the Jin family does not know. How much. You should know about my methods."

His tone was sullen and terrifying.

The boy's figure froze.

Wang Jin has always been gloomy and unobtrusive, but at this moment, looking at the frozen back of the young man in front of him, he still couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and his eyes became more and more sparkling.

"If the little emperor is honest, then come back with me. I promise not to embarrass you, and I can swear to God that I will not move half of the Zhen family's fingers. If you violate it, the sky will be punished! Speaking of which, the Zhen family is also standing this time. If you have done great work, you should report it to the emperor to reward you. If it wasn't for the little girl from the Zhen family, you would probably be gone now, little emperor."

If this young man, the former young emperor Xiao Yu, was thrown into the sea by the Jin family and buried in the belly of a fish, he would certainly have lost a confidant today, but how could the imperial jade seal that Tianxi Emperor coveted so much could be seen again?

Who would have thought that it was hidden in such a place by Xiao Yu?

Xiao Yu slowly turned around and faced Wang Jin.

"Little emperor, you wouldn't think that all this is a game set up by my Wang Jin, right?"

This time, he was really satisfied with his strategy, and he couldn't help but show a slight lust in his eyes.

"Little emperor, you are very smart. After you escaped by luck, you actually hid in a place like Quanzhou. Lingnan is already far from the sky and the emperor is far away, and Quanzhou is even more mixed. It is really like finding someone who deliberately hides himself. Looking for a needle in a haystack. But you still underestimate me. In the past few years, in order to find you, I sent countless people out. They pretended to be sailors, coolies, and searched all the places in the south where you might hide. Finally last month, I was told that someone had seen a young mute who looked like you in the Jinjia dock in Quanzhou, so I rushed over in person, and without much effort, I learned that you were on the verge of death. The news of being taken in by the Zhen family. I could have taken you away long ago, but at that time, I was not sure that you were the little emperor. After all, in the past few years, your appearance has changed, and you pretended to be stupid. It's very similar, and I was almost deceived. I know even more, if you were the little emperor, if you were taken away like this, you would have people, but this treasure seal..."

He glanced at the object in the boy's hand and couldn't help swallowing his saliva - as if he saw prosperity and wealth and waved to him in front of him.

"...It's hard to tell from your mouth. So I set up a bureau, deliberately released the news of finding the undocumented teenager, and then used the Jin family to make a knife. Sure enough, you were alerted and left quietly. Before leaving, you Naturally, I will never forget your precious seal."

"Little emperor, you are very smart, but after all, you are a little tender. It's not your fault..."

He stared at the thing that was shining under the moonlight, walked towards the boy step by step, stretched out his hand and coaxed: "Little emperor, give it to me! The emperor is your relative after all. Uncle, you went back with me, but you just can't be the emperor. You have been hiding under the dirt for the past few years, and you must have suffered a lot. You should also know that there are more unlucky people in this world than you. Go back Now, what's wrong with being a Prince of Peace and living the rest of your life in peace and stability?"

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, then sneered: "It's hard for my second uncle. Even though he became an emperor, every time he held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven in recent years, he must have felt that he was not strong enough? A few months ago, it was taken away by God. Even the throne was taken away by him, why do you still hold this thing? He wants it, just give it to him!"

He threw the jade seal towards Wang Jin, and the treasure seal drew an arc in the air. Wang Jin was overjoyed, grabbed it, put it in his rucksack, and said, "Little emperor, you can go with me too. I promise. , as long as you don't escape, I will never embarrass you."

Xiao Yu smiled coldly, and with a twist of his wrist, there was already a dagger in his hand.

Wang Jin was startled. Xiao Yu's expression instantly changed to arrogant: "Kill me with someone, but kill myself! After I die, if you cut off my head and take it with you, the second emperor must be relieved. Quanzhou's Zhen family has nothing to do with me. Yue Zhaozhao, the god of heaven and earth. After I die, if you violate the oath you just made, you will not end well!"

He used to be the son of the emperor, sitting on the four seas, but now he has fallen into the dust and mud, and has been in the company of the humble all day long, but at this moment, his eyes are so bright that Wang Jin also cringes, and he doesn't dare to look directly, and slowly lowers his head.

Xiao Yu turned around and faced the infinite dark sky that was out of reach in the extreme north.

The boy's face under the moonlight, Jun Yi and solitary, his eyes are determined.

He closed his eyes, looked up at the starry sky above his head, accompanied by a cold light, swung the dagger towards his throat, and saw that blood was about to splash three feet. People. Wang Jin, now you are the fourth-rank Zhenfu, a famous person in Jinyiweili, but if I remember correctly, you were the thirty-sixth place in the Dinghai Kewu Jue in the tenth year of Tianxi, and only thirty-five people were selected back then. Your real name is Luosun Mountain. When the late emperor heard that you had a reputation for filial piety, he could not bear to leave his mother alone in his hometown, so he took his mother to Beijing to take the exam. Run back to the old mother first. The first emperor was moved by your filial piety, and he was admitted exceptionally, adding your name to the end of the article list, and this was the beginning of your official career. The first emperor was in you, first there was the kindness of the king, and then there was the kindness of the teacher. The world has changed, and now King Shun'an is the emperor, you can be forgiven if you don't recite the grace of the late emperor, but you are persecuting the blood of the late emperor for your own glory!"

"Wang Jin, are you not afraid of the sky? Are you worthy of the people?"

There was darkness all around, the tide was roaring, and the night wind was blowing vigorously. The sound, word by word, entered the ear with the wind, Xiao Yu and Wang Jin heard it together, and both of them were shaken.

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and turned around following the sound, and saw that he didn't know when, a man stood by the seawall a few feet away. The man was dressed in night clothes. If he didn't look closely, his figure almost merged with the night. one.

"Who are you?"

Wang Jin drew his sword and shouted sharply.

The man turned a deaf ear, only strode towards Xiao Yu, and finally stopped in front of him, blocking him behind him.

He turned his face and said to Xiao Yu who was staring at him with wide eyes: "After many years of separation, does the emperor still remember me? When I left the capital, you were still the crown prince, remember that you are only six or seven years old, I will teach you to read The last article of Zuo Chuan Wang Sunman to Chu Zi, I remember that at that time, you hadn't had time to hand in your reading notes."

His voice was gentle, his tone was slow and slow, and the moonlight showed a young man's elegant face.

Xiao Yu suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Young Master! You are Master Pei!"

The man smiled slightly and nodded: "Exactly. Pei You'an came late and made the emperor suffer."

At this moment, the boy's eyes burst out with boundless excitement and light.

He was established as a prince at the age of three, and entered school at the age of four. After enlightenment, his father, Emperor Tianxi, selected several teachers for him. Among them, his favorite was Pei You'an, who was only fourteen years old.

"Young Master, where have you been all these years... I wrote that note at the time, waiting for you to come, but you never came to read it for me... Later, when I was enthroned, I searched for you everywhere, but always No news from you. I thought you had..."

He ran towards Pei You'an, his voice choked up slightly.

Pei You'an patted him lightly to appease him.

"Pei Youan? Pei Youan! Is it really you? Why are you here?"

Wang Jin finally recognized him, stared at him, screamed in a strange voice, his face full of shock: "You are so courageous! It has been three years since you have been on the throne, Haiyan Heqing, all the dynasties are raising it, don't you think? Do you want to openly disobey? The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie. As long as you serve the emperor, with your talent, the emperor will definitely use it for you. If you are obsessed, you are not afraid that I will go back to the emperor and implicate your Pei family? "

Pei You'an said, "Do you think I will let you go away alive tonight?"

His voice was still calm, but the coldness in his tone was ready to come out.

Wang Jin was taken aback, looked at him, and then sneered: "Pei You'an, you are a little too arrogant. I know you used to keep fit when you were young. You, want to kill me, I'm afraid it's still a dream."

Pei You'an smiled slightly and stared at him: "Who said that murder must be done by yourself?"

Wang Jin's face changed slightly, and he looked around and whistled sharply.

The whistle passed, but there was no movement around, and only the sound of the sea and the wind was still heard.

"Don't look at it. Your subordinates are all dead." Pei You'an said.

Wang Jin gritted his teeth, drew his knife and hurried towards Pei You'an, his body was as fast as an eagle, and he came to the front in a blink of an eye. When the distance was only a few steps away, another figure suddenly rushed towards here, and he heard him laugh in the wind: "Da Your son is right! Wang Jin, all the minions you brought have been killed by my brother!"

This man has a majestic figure and a thick voice. He sounds like a middle-aged man. He wears a mask on his face. In the moonlight, there is a slight copper color. Only two eyes are exposed. He looks a little weird. near.

Wang Jin was taken aback again: "Golden Masked Dragon King?"

The Golden-faced Dragon King is a famous pirate leader who has risen rapidly in the Southeast Asian region in recent years. But unlike those pirates who robbery and kill at every turn, causing people at sea to grit their teeth and change their color when they hear the wind, the Golden-Masked Dragon King only collects protection fees from the merchant ships that pass through the waterway. Once the protection is included, the safety of the merchant ships will be guaranteed. Rather than risk being robbed and killed by other pirates by taking a detour, the owner of the ship was willing to pay the Golden Mask Dragon King a protection fee for smooth communication. The government has nothing to do with him. Because he never showed his true face and wore a brass mask, the people at sea called him the Golden-faced Dragon King.

The man smiled and said, "You know me too? Why do you need the eldest son to kill someone like you? I'll just come."

Wang Jin gritted his teeth, drew the knife and went up, fighting for a while, only to hear a scream, the hand holding the knife was chopped off, and the broken hand flew out with the body of the knife.

Wang Jin fell to the ground in pain, holding his severed hand gushing blood, eyes wide open, staring at Pei You'an, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.

Pei Youan squatted in front of him, took out the jade seal that he had put into his rucksack, wiped off the blood stains on it, held it in his palm, looked at the moon for a moment, then got up, and said to the golden-faced Dragon King: "Uncle Dong , give him a treat."
