Chapter 288 Out of Control

evening.

Yongming Water City, seaside market.

After all, the cold winter has just ended, and the sea breeze is blowing on my face, but it is still extremely cold.

There is moisture in the air, accompanied by a salty smell.

In ancient times, many people had never seen the sea in their lives, such as Huo Anu and Ani. They were particularly excited and happy today.

At this moment, Xu Zun, Zhao Yu, Huo Anu, Ani and Ku Niang were wandering around in the seaside market.

I said I was just hanging out, just to avoid the noise and talk about things about going to sea.

"First," Xu Zun told Zhao Yu as he left, "find a studio and paint a portrait of the prince based on the description of the people in the prince's mansion.

"There are only a few people in the Prince's Mansion, and when we go to the Ten Kingdoms of the East China Sea, we can't just let a few of them find him, so everyone on the ship needs to know what the Prince looks like."

"Understood." Zhao Yu wrote down.

"Also," Xu Zun asked again, "can the expert you are looking for arrive tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, sir," Zhao Yu said, "I've given you the money, and I'll arrive tomorrow. It's said that the two of them are husband and wife. They made their fortune by doing business in the East China Sea. They are not only familiar with it, but also know many unknown black stones.

Dark workshop.”

"Okay," Xu Zun said again, "Old Zhao, I just saw that there are many Donghai people living in Yongming County, right?

"Just in case, tomorrow you will take the guards to see if you can bring a few more Donghai aborigines to at least protect the language problem."

"Yes," Zhao Yu nodded, "We thought about this together and were just about to tell you!

"This time the imperial court did not send us a professional ceremonial officer. If we don't understand the local etiquette and customs, there may be misunderstandings."

"Sir," Ani said excitedly, holding up a string of shell necklaces, "do you think this necklace is good-looking? You can buy one for only two hundred coins. It's so cheap!"

"..." Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were speechless for a moment.

"Look!" Huo Anu also pointed at the necklace around his neck and said happily, "How beautiful it is. I bought two necklaces. Come on!"

With that said, Huo Anu gave the string in his hand to Ku Niang, and helped Ku Niang take off the curtain hat and put it on for Ku Niang.

All right……

Xu Zun wanted to remind them that the purchase was expensive, but when he saw the girls were so happy, he had to give up.

"There are corals and conchs over there, they are very beautiful!" Ani was eager to try.

At this time, Huo Anu saw that Xu Zun and Zhao Yu looked wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, are you still worried about this trip to sea?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Yu said, "Even the survivors have been silenced. How can we not be worried?"

"I don't think it's necessary," Huo Anu analyzed, "You see, according to what Mr. Xu taught us before, the most important point of our trip is to see the essence through the phenomenon.

"So... what is the essence of going to sea? Is it to retrieve the prince?"

"Huh?" This was the first time Ani heard this kind of analysis. She immediately put down her jewelry and asked, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Huo Anu said, "First of all, since the prince was attacked and the survivors were killed, it means that some people do not want the prince to return to Daxuan.

"Then...the prince can't return to Daxuan, who will benefit from it?"

When Huo Anu said this, Ani was even more confused and asked quickly: "Who?"

Huo Anu looked around and whispered: "Of course it's the Queen Mother's side!"

"What are you talking about, Sister Anu?" Ani was surprised. "Didn't the Queen Mother ask me to find the Prince?"

"Yes," Huo Anu said confidently, "so this matter is just a formality. Our so-called going out to sea to find the prince is just for others to see.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether we can find the prince..."

Gu Mei

"Well..."

After hearing Huo Anu's analysis, Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were speechless again.

"We only need to take a boat out to sea, stroll around the East China Sea and come back to complete the mission." Huo Anu looked at Xu Zun and said, "Is that so, sir?"

"Ah... that would be great!" Ani was excited again, "Wouldn't we be able to buy a lot of good things?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Zhao Yu couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly shouted at the two beauties to stop them.

"What?" Huo Anu saw Xu Zun's serious expression and asked quickly, "Am I right?"

"It's not that it's wrong," Zhao Yu muttered in a low voice, "it's that it's completely wrong!"

"What?" Huo Anu stared, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not," Zhao Yu shook his head, "If we were just going on a trip, would Mr. Xu need to be so anxious?

"Have you all forgotten that iron law? Wherever we go, trouble will happen. Alas..."

"Anuqie!" Huo Anu scolded, "That's nonsense. We only came here after the prince's incident happened in the East China Sea. Don't always be like a pigeon, okay?"

"Sister," Ani corrected, "it's a crow's beak, not a dove's beak!"

"Alas!" Xu Zun finally sighed and said facing the sea, "Huo Anu has obtained my true inheritance, but the heat is still far behind.

"Let me list a few points for you!" He stretched out a finger and said to Huo Anu, "First, you don't understand the Queen Mother. She really doesn't care about the life or death of the Prince, but she doesn't like that kind of loss of control.

Feeling!"

"Out of control?" Huo Anu was puzzled, "Where did it go out of control?"

"Even if the matter is as big as the Xuanmen Heavenly Disaster," Xu Zun said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, and everything is under her control.

"But...she didn't know about the attack on the prince, so..." Xu Zun shook his head slightly, "We have to find out a result when we go to the East China Sea!"

Gulu...

Huo Anu swallowed and realized that his guess was wrong.

"Second," Xu Zun held out a second finger, "There are various signs that the prince may have an affair with Xuanmen, which is something the Queen Mother is more concerned about.

"No matter whether the prince is dead or alive, we'd better find something, otherwise... we won't be able to communicate!"

"Ah? This..." Huo Anu pushed Zhao Yu and complained, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"

"You didn't ask me either?" Zhao Yu was very innocent.

"Third," Xu Zun stretched out a third finger, "Can't you see? If the survivors were not silenced, this matter would be much easier to handle.

"It's a pity..."

oh?

This time, Zhao Yu and the three of them all looked confused, obviously they couldn't understand what Xu Zun meant.

"Sir," Zhao Yu was the first to guess, "is it because there are no survivors that we don't know what happened to the prince? Where should we go to find the prince?"

"I think..." Huo Anu guessed, "Are you worried that there is a mole among us? Once we find out something, someone will be harmful to us?"

"Tsk tsk..." Xu Zun turned his head, looked at these comrades who were like family members, smacked his lips bitterly, and said, "You only guessed half of it right, but you have never thought about why the survivors were silenced?"

"Why?" the three asked together.

"Because..." Xu Zun answered word by word, "The prince must still be alive!!!"
