Chapter 38 Chapter 38 [VIP]

Thirty-eighth Palm

After three long blasts of the horn, a flag with a gold ingot logo was raised on the Qian family's cargo ship, waving wildly in the sea breeze...

It's too late.

The Qian family's tea has crossed the strait line, and even the court's official ships cannot cross it easily. Song Yunzhi withdrew his gaze from the ship in front and fell on the face of the girl under him.

She was looking up and heard the victory horn. Her eyes were gazing at the empty starry sky. She looked relaxed and he even saw that smile on the corner of her lips again.

It is a kind of pride after a plan succeeds.

Feeling the prince's attention, Qian Tong looked down at him and asked nonchalantly, "Have you ever been to the other side of the strait?"

She said, "I haven't been there, but I heard people say the fish and shrimp in the sea over there are easy to catch. Unlike the Yangzhou port, we've almost scooped up all the fish and shrimp there."

Song Yunzhi understood that this woman had no remorse at all.

From the moment he caught up with her to the moment he captured her and pinned her down tonight, she never gave up.

He had no business experience and didn't know how tempting money was to a merchant, and whether it was worth her giving up everything to pursue it.

His eyes were filled with resentment, and the girl's mentality became much more relaxed. "Sir, go and take a look too." Qian Tong said, "Don't worry, even if the people of the Pu family know you are the Song Prince, they won't make things difficult for you. I can't guarantee the people around the Pu family, but the eldest son of the Pu family is humble and polite, and treats others with generosity. He..."

"Shut up." Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her with a sullen roar.

Does she want to cooperate with the Park family for a long time? Is she going to follow the Choi family's path?

It's possible that she is so bold.

Today it's a shipload of tea, but what about tomorrow... Compared to the Cui family, this woman is much more cunning. If she joins forces with the Park family to smuggle, it will be even more difficult to deal with her in the future.

Although if he could enter the Park family this time, it would be helpful for him to test the strength of the Park family, but not today, not at this time, he must stop the two from meeting.

Even if I have to be buried with her.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Song Yunzhi decisively snatched the sharp knife from her hand. In the girl's astonished eyes, he raised the knife and cut off half of the rope connecting to the big ship.

What is he going to do?

Qian Tong stared in amazement and hurried to protect him.

Keren was pinned down by him, unable to move. In a panic, she hugged his waist and pulled him down desperately, "Prince, calm down! The wind and waves are strong here. If the rope breaks, you and I will die in the sea..."

So what.

He was ready to burn his boats. Song Yunzhi was probably mad at her and said something that was completely inconsistent with his lifelong cultivation: "Die, then die."

"You'd better give up this idea. As long as I'm here, you can't collude with the Park family."

Qian Tong didn't expect that he would fight so hard to capture her.

The Qian family's boat had arrived, and she could get on board immediately and change into dry clothes, but he cut the rope. Qian Tong was so angry that his teeth were itching. His hands were faster than his brain. He dug his ten fingers in and grabbed his waist.

She heard him groan, "Let go."

Qian Tong refused to relent and said coldly, "You are only allowed to pinch me, but I am not allowed to pinch you. What kind of logic is this? Anyway, I will die with you, so why can't I resist a little?"

The fabric on their bodies clung to their skin and pressed together, allowing both to feel the warmth of each other's bodies.

Even though she knew he was the Prince of Song, she still dared to push him into the sea, which meant she was not afraid at all. She hugged his waist, and apart from the tingling pain where she pinched him, his ribs seemed to be sunk into a soft cloud. Every time she moved, every inch of his body was burning.

He couldn't stand it any longer and warned, "I'm going to let you go."

She didn't let go.

The next moment, she was pinched in the same position by the young man on top of her. His fingers were long and slender, and his palms were broad. He gripped the edge of her ribs, covering a wide area. The overwhelming strength of his hands, with a masculine attack, left her powerless to defend herself.

She was distracted, and Song Yunzhi took the opportunity to pull her hands off her waist, and then held her wrists again with one hand, trapping her under him.

After the rope on the boat broke, the boat quickly stopped moving forward, and the boat began to shake due to the fight between the two people.

Wave after wave of waves slammed the two of them into the waves, completely losing their direction. A wave wall rushed over, and the sea water rushed down on their heads. Song Yunzhi subconsciously let go, and Qian Tong took the opportunity to pull out the piccolo from his sleeve.

She still doesn't give up!

Song Yunzhi felt pity and hatred for her hopelessness. He quickly grabbed her arm and knelt on the boat. He ignored the waves hitting his back and glared at the girl who was about to play the flute. He said hatefully, "Do you really have to go see the Park family?"

Go meet Mr. Park?

Qian's piccolo was thrown into the sea.

They just reunited. This is not a solution. Sooner or later, he will exhaust me here. Qian Tong said kindly, "I really have to go. Prince, please let me go this time. Next time, I will listen to you, okay?"

There will be no next time.

Song Yunzhi's patience had run out. He stopped looking at her and glanced at the brightly lit Park Jiahang fleet, and suddenly lowered his head.

Guessing what he was up to, Qian Tong changed his name, hoping to awaken the young man's former sympathy for women. She tilted her head to look at him and whispered, "Yun Zhen..."

Kneel down and jump.

He hadn't even come to settle the score with her yet, and she was already adding fuel to the fire! Song Yunzhi resisted the urge to strangle her, remaining silent. He tore off a piece of silk and tied it around her arm, then tied the other end around his own wrist.

Before Qian Tong could react, he saw him stand up and kick the boat. In an instant, the boat the two were riding on was broken into pieces. This time it was Prince Song who dragged the girl into the water.

Both fell into the water at the same time.

Is he crazy?

Qian Tong was caught off guard and fell into the icy sea without warning. In a panic, he grabbed a piece of driftwood.

The water splashed all over her face. She raised her hand to wipe her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw Prince Song clinging to the other end of the driftwood in her arms, staring at her quietly.

As the boat sailed away, the light reflected by it gradually dimmed. She could not see the expression on his face, but Qian Tong could see that Prince Song vowed to fight with her to the end tonight, until death.

She had to give up her original plan, the most important thing now was to save her life.

The waves were too big, Qian Tong clung to the driftwood tightly and stopped struggling. No matter whether it was her or Prince Song, if one of them died here tonight, no one would be in a good situation.

The boat became a piece of driftwood and the only hope for their survival.

It's finally quiet.

The road ahead was cut off, and there was no time to even pack up the money and copper. The man lay on the driftwood and drifted with the current.

Since he dared to sink the ship, he was sure to get ashore. However, she overestimated Prince Song and underestimated the extent of his madness. He had made no preparations. The two of them held onto a piece of driftwood and drifted in the wind and waves, staring at each other. They drifted for more than an hour until they landed on an island.

Qian Tong was exhausted at this time.

Since she was caught up by the prince tonight, she has not had a moment of relaxation. After struggling in the sea for so long, her arms were sore and her legs were heavy. After getting ashore, she fell headfirst onto the soft sand and gravel, sinking into darkness.

——

I don’t know how long I slept, but I vaguely heard the sound of firewood burning, and Qian Tong slowly opened his eyes.

Then a warm flame was reflected in his pupils.

Someone was indeed making a fire. She turned around, and the robe draped across her chest slipped down. Looking down, she found herself lying on a pile of hay, her hands unable to move, bound by something.

She raised her hands and saw a circle of vines tightly wrapped around her forearms, with a rope at the end. As she raised her hands, the rope became tighter and pulled to the young man who was sitting by the fire on the other side, looking at the firewood.

He was only wearing his shirt, and when he felt the tugging on his wrist, he glanced over.

Seeing the familiar face of the little god, Qian Tong suddenly woke up completely. The memories before he fell asleep came to his mind. He sighed helplessly and looked around.

I don't know where this crappy place is.

The sky had already turned a crab-shell blue, and it was almost dawn. The Qian family's boat had already been in the hands of the Park family. Even if she was not there, the mission was considered accomplished.

But the problem is how she can go back and how Prince Song can let her go.

While she was lost in thought, the rope on her hand was tugged by Prince Song. He really had no intention of letting her go. He said calmly, "Since you're awake, Miss Qi, please tell me."

When they came out of the sea, both of them were soaked and almost roasted.

Thanks to the firewood provided by Prince Song, Qian Tong's attitude was surprisingly upright. He stood up and sat next to him cooperatively. "Okay, whatever the prince asks, I will answer."

Midnight passed, and the furious prince calmed down. He didn't care whether she confessed voluntarily or not. He slowly sorted out the things with her one by one. He asked, "When did you recognize me?"

Then he added, "Look into my eyes."

After he said this, Qian Tong could no longer use his words from last night against him. He did as he said, looked sideways to meet his cold black eyes, and said very sincerely: "Zhizhoufu."

Song Yunzhi listened to her.

"Your voice has changed behind the screen. Others might not be able to hear it, but we spend every day together. How could I not recognize your voice?" She saw the young man's black eyes move and continued, "Besides, the questions you asked, how could someone who is always by my side know them?"

"Lan Mingquan doesn't even know I'm the head of the Qian family, so how can he rely on Wang Zhao? He's an official from outside the province, he doesn't know anything about Yangzhou, he's completely clueless. What can he possibly find out?"

Song Yunzhi remained silent.

"Also, what I said to Wang Zhaoti, you slept with me all night, and you immediately panicked..." She asked with concern: "Did you kick the corner of the table?"

If she hadn't seen the young man's twitching eyes, she would probably have asked, "Does it hurt?"

Song Yunzhi had seen her tricks before, and quickly calmed himself down, examining her eyes. The girl's gaze was clear, just like her face, pure and innocent.

However, it is this face that has caused so much harm to people.

How did the Cui family disappear? Song Yunzhi recalled carefully. It was she who suddenly came to his house that night and said she wanted to take him to a place.

Finally, we went to the dental clinic of the second son of the Cui family.

She still didn't tell the truth, and Song Yunzhi's eyes narrowed, his calm emotions fluctuating again, and he asked, "When did you recognize him?
