At this time, the large room on the third floor of the treasure ship was filled with rare objects collected from Prince Wu's Mansion, and the polished mirror screen was folded and erected against the wall.

The Queen Mother was dressed as a female official, looking at the scenery on the river with a telescope, and said quietly:

"It only takes a few days to go to Jiangzhou from here. When we get you to Ye Jingtang, you can go back with your mother. I have been in the palace for so many years, but I have no merit and hard work, and my seniority is here..."

Dongfang Liren was dressed in military uniform, holding a shining sword in his hand, concentrating on practicing his sword skills, hoping to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Hearing the words, Dongfang Liren responded:

"I have thousands of people with me, and the itinerary has been arranged. If I run around, I will definitely be impeached by the court officials. When I am free in the future, I, Master, and Ye Jingtang will protect the Queen Mother when she returns to her hometown to visit relatives...

…”

The Queen Mother knew that it was unrealistic to go south now, and all she wanted was hope, so she sighed softly:

"Then we agreed, if you dare to lie to me, I will learn from "The Secret History of Marie Claire"... eh?"

While the Queen Mother was talking, she noticed something was wrong on the river. She looked carefully through the telescope and saw a small tail hanging from the back of a large ship a few miles away.

Looking carefully, it can be seen that it is a small awning boat, with a man and a woman sitting on the bow. The man is dressed in black, chatting and laughing happily; the woman's white skirt is like snow, and she looks charming...

The Queen Mother was overjoyed at first, but then she frowned and squinted her eyes to take a closer look - the two of them were sitting side by side on the bow of the boat, talking about something, and Shuishui, who had never been serious, actually handed the gourd of wine he carried with him to the handsome man next to him.

, looking like a husband and wife accompanying each other...

??!

The Queen Mother felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The moment she saw this scene, she already thought of Shuishui's child, whether she should be called grandma or aunt.

Oh my God……

The Queen Mother's eyes were full of disbelief, and just as she was about to take a closer look, she spotted a ship on the opposite side, and Ye Jingtang quickly stood up...

Isn’t this a guilty conscience?

Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, Dongfang Liren put away his sword and came to the back:

"What's wrong?...Huh? Is that Ye Jingtang and Master?"

"..."

The Queen Mother put down the telescope, her eyes were very complicated, but she couldn't talk about such unconfirmed things, so she could only write it down silently...

——

After a while, the small awning boat docked under the treasure ship.

Xuanji Zhenren flew directly onto the ship building, while Ye Jingtang landed on the deck. Countless black yamen chiefs had been waiting for a long time, and all came forward to express their congratulations:

"Master Ye is amazing..."

"The heart of humble admiration is like a torrential river..."

…

The chief arresters of the black yamen are all masters. Although they are not in the Jianghu, their yearning for Wu Kui is not much lower than that of ordinary Jianghu people.

In addition, Ye Jingtang is usually very easy-going in the yamen and has good relationships. At this time, several acquaintances were ready to take out their knives and ask Ye Jingtang to carve two words on it.

Fortunately, Da Benben quickly walked down from the ship building, showing a calm and confident look:

"You just go on patrol when you have nothing to do. What are you doing here?"

There was an immediate silence on the deck, and a bunch of chief officers fled in all directions.

Ye Jingtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and came to him and bowed his hands:

"Your Highness."

Dongfang Liren stood with his hands behind his back, trying his best not to look excited, and looked up and down:

"How's the injury?"

"It's nothing serious, I just need some time to recuperate."

Dongfang Liren turned around and walked into the ship building. When there was no one around, he raised his hand and pressed Ye Jingtang's wrist to explore. When he saw that the injury was not serious, he was relieved and said in a slightly jealous tone:

"It's only been a few months, and he has become the master of swordsmanship..."

Ye Jingtang smiled and said: "If His Highness hadn't taught me the Dragon Slaying Order and given me the Jade Bone Diagram, I wouldn't have been able to defeat the Xuanyuan Dynasty. My victory was all due to His Highness's cultivation."

"Hmph~ How long have you been the deputy commander? You have learned to flatter yourself in an official manner..."

Dongfang Liren was in a very good mood, and his tone became a bit softer:

"This time you put down King Wu's rebellion. You took the lead and won the title of Sword Leader. I will definitely reward you heavily. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"reward……"

Ye Jingtang turned his head and glanced at the bright and attractive Da Benben, thought for a moment and said:

"I also want to compensate His Highness, as long as Your Highness doesn't mind the previous offense."

Dongfang Liren asked Ye Jingtang to pay off his debt in Canyangchi. He didn't expect that Ye Jingtang would work so hard. Even if he didn't mind, he felt ashamed and embarrassed in his heart.

Although Night Terror Hall did not take the initiative, the rules of clear rewards and punishments for superiors cannot be broken.

Dongfang Liren walked up the stairs slowly and glanced at the Night Terror Hall:

"How about I draw you a picture album?"

"Um?"

Ye Jingtang paused, remembering Benben's lifelike painting skills, his eyes lit up:

"The heroic lady sheds tears?"

Dongfang Liren took a breath, nodded and said:

"If you want it, I won't spoil your interest, even if you make a heroic lady cry. But... you can't draw shameless scenes, you can only draw handles and the like..."

Ye Jingtang quickly shook his head and seriously enlightened:

"It's just painting. This is art about the human body and cannot be viewed from a secular perspective. Of course, if His Highness feels uncomfortable, I won't force it..."

When Dongfang Liren saw Ye Jingtang's desire, even though he felt it was pornographic, he still couldn't bear to refuse and took a step back:

"Anyway, I can't draw that kind of abnormal plot. The most I can do is ride a horse... cough..."

"..."

Ye Jingtang felt that he had completely misled Benben and wanted to laugh. Before he could raise the corners of his mouth, he was pinched at the waist. He quickly raised his hand:

"Hiss - there are injuries, there are injuries..."

Dongfang Liren's calm expression changed, and he quickly let go and rubbed Ye Jingtang's waist:

"Okay, you go and lie down in the room and have a good rest. Ning'er and the others are in the backmost room on the second floor, with two pairs of doors. You...the Queen Mother is up there, don't be so arrogant!"

Ye Jingtang understood the meaning and said helplessly:

"I can't walk right now, so what can I do? I'm going to rest first. When will Your Highness be able to finish painting?"

"Do you think my handwriting is the same as that of those small workshops that paint New Year pictures? I can't finish a whole book in just a few months..."

"hehe……"

…

——

At the same time, on the top floor of the ship building.

Niaoniao, who had been wandering around outside for several days without doing anything, pretended that he had done a lot of hard work and lay half-dead on the terrace, letting Hongyu feed the little strips of meat.

Master Xuanji leaned on the couch, unfolded the scroll, and told the Queen Mother about the experience of Junshan Terrace.

But the Queen Mother obviously had no intention of paying attention to this. After chatting for a while, she suddenly asked:

"Shui'er, tell me honestly, did you do anything to the Night Terror Hall when you went out this time?"

Master Xuanji was puzzled and looked at the curious baby who was pretending to be serious:

"do what?"

"That's it...you must understand what I mean, don't act stupid!"

Master Xuanji really understood, shook her head and sighed: "Why don't you doubt whether Ye Jingtang did something to me?"

"How is it possible? You are so good at martial arts, what can he do to you if you don't give him a chance? Besides, how can a decent person like Ye Jingtang have any thoughts about you? On the contrary, you are so arrogant..."

?

When Master Xuanji heard this, she finally understood how Luo Ning felt when she questioned Luo Ning last time.

"Do you think that I will take the initiative to hook up with the Nightmare Hall?"

"Um."

The Queen Mother said seriously: "I just saw with my own eyes that you gave him the wine gourd and let him drink..."

"Inviting him to drink is just hooking up? Then if he sets off fireworks for you to make you happy, doesn't that mean he already has a deep love for you?"

The Queen Mother was stunned, blinked her big eyes, and moved closer:
To be continued...
