has been ambitious all his life, but when he is old, he can't compare to a half-old son, although this son is his own flesh and blood, Liu Yan can only smile bitterly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If nothing else, he will only be able to raise horses for a living in the rest of his life.

However, Liu Yan's state of mind at this time is extremely calm, compared with this wave, it is more like a lake as smooth as a mirror. He knew that it was all over, and that he would embark on a journey into the unknown and start a completely different life.

Nanzhou ...... It's a place where people look forward to it, so let's die there.

A gentle smile flashed across Liu Yan's face, when a person puts down his ambition and puts down the ** of his life, he may not feel pain and resentment, and sometimes it makes people feel relaxed all of a sudden.

At this time, his thoughts had even flown to the continent thousands of miles away, ready to start a new life.

But...... Although he thinks so, although he is in a relaxed mood, Liu Yan still has some expectations, his son, his own flesh and blood, the guy who he hasn't met for a long time, but still regards him as his life, I don't know what to do, what is he doing now? Have you ever cared about your father, or ...... Or do you blame yourself? In any case, he was a stumbling block to him, he was a rebel, and he was a confidant of the court and a hardcore vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Yan frowned slightly, not because he hated the fishy smell of the sea, nor because of the unhappiness brought by the sea breeze blowing on his skin, he suddenly became a little worried again.

Will Riding the Wind forgive yourself?

He cheated to death seven or eight years ago, leaving him alone to face the sinister heart. He even planned to remove his fame, although Liu Yan had his own reasons, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that everything he has, or his own kindness, was imposed on Liu Chengfeng. And how did he know that this kid has his own unique ideas, has a more intelligent skill, and even has ambitions that ordinary people can't understand.

The world is unpredictable...... Liu Yan stared at the dock motionlessly, at this time the sails had been opened, and the hull of the ship began to shake slightly, so that Liu Yan had to hold on to the side of the ship, he stood here reluctantly, and saw that there were many people on the dock, some people boarded the ship, and some people came to say goodbye...... No, will His Royal Highness the King of Chu come? Would he come and see his father one last time? Although he has countless debts, Liu Yan still has expectations, but reason still tells him that this man who is far more than himself now will not appear, he has become a nobleman, his status is unattainable, and even Liu Yan has to look up.

So Liu Yan's mind had countless subtle changes, and he quietly comforted himself, that person was just a good idea, but there were many major things waiting for him to decide, and he really couldn't pull away, or he wanted to avoid suspicion.

No matter what the reason is, although Liu Yan knows that this reason is untenable, but at this moment he is reluctantly standing on the deck, and he is constantly forcing himself to believe this reason.

The iron anchor had been pulled up, and the hull of the ship trembled even more violently, so that the sailor before came and persuaded him: "Sir, let's go to the cabin, and then we will go out of the bay along the waterway, and the ship will cruise slowly, and it will inevitably be a little bumpy......"

Liu Yan smiled slightly, glanced sideways at the sailor, and smiled gently, when he laughed, it was actually strikingly similar to Liu Chengfeng's smile, that kind of subtle smile, neither ostentatious, nor deliberately restrained, Liu Yan patted the side of the ship with his hand, and said: "It's okay, the old man just wants to see this land again, take a look more, this is the country, I'm afraid that the old man will never come back in the future." ”

The sailor seemed to understand Liu Yan's words, nodded silently, and stopped admonishing.

In fact, for Liu Yan, there is nothing to be nostalgic for in this so-called countryside, in this countryside, he has a funny life, and all his thoughts are devoted to a career that he feels ridiculous in retrospect, his friends, his old brothers, I am afraid that they have been separated from him, in this so-called countryside, the only thing that is still worthy of his concern is the master of this Chu country.

When the hull gradually left the dock, Liu Yan's eyes became more and more gray, knowing that it was impossible, he just gave birth to expectations, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, obviously, he was already destined to be disappointed.

There was only unwillingness left in his lonely eyes, so that his hand grabbed the green tendons of the ship's side and burst out.

He sighed heavily, the whole person seemed to be ten years old, this is a father's mood, and the father in the world is afraid that he is in such a mood. Whether this person is a prince or a pawn of a peddler, he can't escape the four words of licking calves.

He couldn't help but have a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and then he gave birth to a mocking color, this is not mocking others, he is just mocking himself, he has not done a good job as a father, why should he insist on pursuing the father-son love that cannot match it?

For the first time, Liu Yan deeply felt that he had made a big mistake, this mistake he would use the rest of his life to make up for it, and he could never remedy it, the prodigal son could turn back, but a father did something wrong, but he could never go back.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Everything is still the same in the various wharves of the port, the merchants in fresh clothes and angry horses, the porters in ragged clothes, the drunken whistling sailors, and the crowd of people who bid farewell to relatives and friends, the mixed environment of dragons and snakes has not changed at all, and no one would have thought that a ship has quietly sailed away from the dock and raised its sails.

But at this time, the sound of sudden clattering horses' hooves came out, and at this time there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, which was very easy to cause disgust, there were many people congested here, even if it was a carriage for transporting goods, it was a step by step, and I don't know which nobles came here to bid farewell to relatives and friends, so they put up this battle.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted and said: "His Royal Highness has arrived, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived, the King of Chu has an order, and today he will go out of the palace to inspect the port, and the idle people will retreat." ”

At this moment, the entire port suddenly exploded, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu ...... This is the same unattainable existence as the emperor Lao Tzu in the Jingshi, maybe for the emperor Lao Tzu, those unruly sailors still dare to go around a few words, but for this King of Chu, everyone respects from the heart.

Everyone knows that it is precisely because of the King of Chu that everyone will have a bite to eat, a few years ago, everyone was just a tenant in the countryside, but now, although there are many people living a hard life here, but the environment is much better than the countryside.

What the king of Chu maintained, not to mention the interests of those merchants, benefited from more than one or two merchants, not to mention, over the years, almost every storyteller in a tea shop in Lianzhou will make up all kinds of jokes about Liu Chengfeng, in these paragraphs, Liu Chengfeng kills demons, Liu Chengfeng heroes save the beauty, Liu Chengfeng saves the suffering, although this kind of messy story cannot stand scrutiny, but whether others believe it or not, Lianzhou people are convinced.

So all of a sudden, the people of the port were boiling, some people stood on their toes to look at it, some people fell to the ground one after another, some people were so frightened that they retreated to the side of the road, and the coachmen who drove the cars were at a loss, and hurriedly drove the carriages and horses to the side of the road, and the drunken sailors stopped making a lot of noise, and they were like docile kittens. The nearby businessmen hurriedly knelt down, kneeling up and wanted to get closer to His Royal Highness's Wang Jia, so as to touch the immortal spirit of the God of Wealth, the officials and officers and soldiers of the port were also startled, and an official hurriedly stepped forward with a few scribes, and bowed to the ground in front of the Wang's car, saying: "Zhao Cheng of the Xiaguan Customs Bureau has seen His Royal Highness, and the Xiaguan cannot welcome him from afar, and I ask His Highness for forgiveness." ”

Liu Chengfeng was only wearing a regular clothes, and he turned over and dismounted with a smile, and as soon as he got off the horse, a large group of guards around him fell to the ground, hugging Liu Chengfeng, and looking cautiously left and right one by one, in case of accidents.

Liu Chengfeng said in a relaxed tone: "Get up, don't be polite, the lonely king just heard that the port is lively, so come and take a look, don't be nervous." ”

Inspector Zhao Cheng got up cautiously, and when he saw Liu Chengfeng's relaxed tone, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, there are many dragons and snakes here, do you want to go to the Yamen of the Customs Bureau to sit?" ”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, but he looked at the direction of the sea, as if he was searching for something, and said: "No need, the lonely king is just walking around at will, by the way, to observe the people's feelings, what can be found in the yamen?" Yes, how many ships go to sea? ”

Zhao Cheng hurriedly said: "In the first half of the year, there were many ships going to sea, and in the second half of the year, there were many returning ships, and more than 60 merchant ships have passed the customs defense and went to sea. ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "King Gu heard that there is a place called Nanzhou overseas, and that place is not much better than my Ming territory?" Frightened, when the lonely king heard it, he really felt incredible. ”

When Zhao Cheng heard this, he suddenly became excited, and said: "Yes, Nanzhou is near the waters of Java, because it is located in the extreme south, so everyone calls it Nanzhou, and now there are not many ships going there, only two or three hundred a year, but it does increase a lot compared to the previous year. ”

"Really?" Liu Chengfeng looked careless, and encouraged Zhao Chengdao: "So this ship must have left, to get to Nanzhou, it will take at least four or five months, how big does it take to sail so far?" ”

Zhao Cheng glanced at the harbor, and then said: "I haven't left yet, the sail that has just started, look there, Your Highness, on the side of the No. 1 pier C trestle, the ship is there, this is the most fashionable Dafu ship, the name of the ship is broken, there are more than 3,000 sailors in it, and it also carries several merchants and brings a large number of goods." ”

Zhao Chengyao pointed into the distance, Liu Chengfeng followed his guidance and looked over, and sure enough, he saw a big ship slowly sailing out along the waterway of the trestle.
