Chapter 1030: Capture the King First
All the eyeliners were shocked.
They tried to defend themselves, but to no avail.
General Zheng deliberately let Chu Jian pretend to be a subordinate of the national teacher, hoping to lure out the spy hidden in the dark. As a result, his plan proved to be successful.
Now that he has caught all these spies in one fell swoop, he has fewer concerns.
General Zheng ordered all these spies to be thrown into the dungeon and tortured severely to see if they could find any evidence of collusion between them and the imperial teacher.
In addition, General Zheng also ordered all ships to retreat and keep as much distance as possible from the port of Wanhai City to reduce friction between the two.
General Zheng stood on the deck and looked far away in the direction of the Thousand Islands.
"I have done what I can do. Now it is up to you."
All he could do was delay time. Whether the war could really be stopped depended on the third princess.
After Yi Mei and Chu Jian fell into the sea, they immediately went around to the other side of the boat.
There is a wupeng boat docked here, with supplies and food prepared on board.
Chu Jian held the side of the boat with one hand and lifted Yi Mei up with the other.
Yi Mei climbed onto the boat with the help of his force, then turned around and lay on the side of the boat, reaching out to pull Chu Jian.
After both of them got on the boat, Chu Jian didn't even bother to change his wet clothes. He grabbed the oars and started rowing hard.
The boat headed towards the direction of the Thousand Islands.
At this time, everyone on the boat's attention was attracted by General Zheng, and no one noticed the small boat that quietly left.
Chu Jian rowed non-stop for most of the day until he could no longer see the warships of the Thousand Islands. Only then did he slow down and feel a little relieved.
The first level was passed without any major problems.
As soon as he relaxed, Chu Jian felt that his clothes were cold and heavy. Even though he was a martial artist, his face turned pale due to the cold.
Yimei had already hidden in the awning and changed into clean clothes.
She said to Chu Jian, "I'll row the boat, you go change your clothes."
Chu Jian saw that she had thin arms and legs and looked like a person with no strength, so he said.
"No, just stop here for a while."
He bent down and reached into the awning, taking out a set of clean clothes from his bag.
Yimei tried to row the boat, but she had never done such work before. It was difficult for her to even pick up the oars, let alone row the boat.
She rowed with all her might, but still couldn't move the boat forward even a bit.
She was so angry that she threw the oar back into the boat, then strode back to the awning with her sleeves flying.
At this time, Chu Jian had just put on his pants, and his upper body was still naked. Yi Mei came in and happened to see this scene.
Chu Jian is not very old and still has the youthfulness that only belongs to a teenager, but because he has practiced martial arts for many years, his figure is taller and more slender than his peers.
He turned his back to Yimei and bent down to get his clothes. When he bent down, the muscles on his back were tense. His waist looked thin, but it was full of strength.
The sun shone on his back, casting a faint glow of warm gold.
Amazingly beautiful!
Yi Mei was simply stunned.
When she was a child, she had seen her brothers fighting each other with their bare chests, but the feeling was completely different from this time.
When facing her brothers, she would only envy them for being taller than herself, but when she looked at Chu Jian, she had an urge to reach out and touch him...
When she came to her senses, the fingertips of her right hand had already touched Chu Jian's back.
Chu Jian froze at first, then turned to look at her.
His face flushed, and he seemed to want to dodge, but didn't, and his speech was stuttering.
"W-What are you doing?"
Yi Mei realized what she had done and was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into!
As the third princess of the Thousand Islands, she actually touched a man.
If this gets out, will she still have dignity?!
How can she face people in the future? !
Yi Mei was too concerned about her reputation to show weakness at this moment.
She forced herself to suppress the panic and shame in her heart, pretending that nothing had happened. She poked his back with her fingers and snorted disdainfully.
"I just want to see if you have a lot of flesh on your body. What? Can't I see it?"
Chu Jian wanted to say, of course I can’t watch that.
After all, men and women should not touch each other.
But when Chu Jian saw Yi Mei's face flushed with shame and anger but she was trying to pretend to be calm, he couldn't bear to expose her and could only say what she said dryly.
"You can look."
Yi Mei withdrew her hand, raised her chin, and snorted: "That's more like it."
After saying that, she turned and walked out.
She kept her chin high throughout the whole process and looked very proud and calm.
As she walked to the door while maintaining this word, she suddenly tripped over the steps and fell straight to the ground, falling flat on her face.
The fall was so severe that the entire ship shook.
Chu Jian put on his clothes hastily, walked over quickly, helped Yi Mei up, and asked with concern.
"Are you okay?"
Yimei tried her best to maintain the last bit of her pride as a princess and responded calmly.
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
She secretly glared at the step that caused her to fall in disgrace, gritting her teeth in hatred.
She secretly swore that when she arrived in the Thousand Islands, the first thing she would do was to have the damn stairs demolished!
Chu Jian was relieved when he saw that she was not injured.
Although the ship is not big, it has sufficient supplies.
After Chu Jian changed his clothes, he hung the wet clothes on the mast and let the sea breeze dry them.
He held a magic bag in his hand.
The silver bills in the brocade bag were already wet. He spread out the bills one by one and pressed them down with a cup to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.
The last thing he took out was a piece of paper.
The handwriting on the note was blurred, and one had to read it carefully to barely make out a sentence:
Catch the leader first.
At this time Luo Qinghan asked someone to give Chu Jian a treasure bag.
Chu Jian originally thought that Luo Qinghan wanted him to take action against the emperor of the Thousand Islands. Due to the relationship between Yi and the United States, Chu Jian was struggling and hesitant. It was not until now that he understood that Luo Qinghan wanted him to find a way to get rid of the emperor of the Thousand Islands.
That imperial teacher was the culprit who instigated this war.
Chu Jian tore up the notes and let them fall into the sea.
Yi Mei had forgotten her previous embarrassment by this time and came over to ask.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Jian: "Nothing, just throwing some useless things away, are you hungry?"
In fact, Yimei was already very hungry, but she maintained the airs of a princess and nodded modestly.
"good."
Chu Jian walked into the boat tent and said, "Let's eat."
Yimei cheered in her heart, she could finally eat!
Chu Jian took out some fresh water and dry food and had a simple lunch with Yi Mei.
After a short rest, Chu Jian continued rowing.
…
Good morning everyone!
I humbly ask for monthly tickets, hoping that Xianyu can enter the top ten of the monthly ticket list, please please~
