Chapter 0122 Dragon Palace

In November, during the winter season, the water condenses into ice and snow, causing a significant decrease in the runoff of hundreds of rivers. The long river enters the dry season, although there is still a mile wide water surface with sparkling waves, it is no longer the mighty flood flow of spring and summer.

Along the waterway, the number of ships did not decrease, and there were no giant boats sailing upstream in the open sea during the summer flood season. However, the water surface, which had narrowed by nearly half, became even more congested. Various sails were tightly connected, making people dizzy

Ye Qing's passenger ship became even more bumpy as a result, making him grateful that he didn't bring Qianqian and the others over.

At noon, black clouds poured in from the southeast, bringing heavy rain. This rare rainstorm in winter delayed the journey, and it was not until dusk that the passenger ship arrived in Taiping County.

Ye Qing came down holding an oil umbrella and saw that Taiping Lake was shrouded in wind and rain, with waves crashing against the shore. Amidst the blue grey rain curtain, the dock and boats of different sizes were faintly visible, and the streets and alleys were brightly lit, with pedestrians running around to take shelter from the rain.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, "Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh. With such heavy wind and rain, it would have been delayed. It seems that behind the advance of the lunar eclipse, the spiritual power tide has been triggered, and in just a few days, it has affected the upstream movement. Taiping Lake Dragon Lord can no longer fully control the situation.

Fortunately, the autumn harvest has passed, otherwise it would have been even worse

Shaking his head and shaking off these, he touched something in his arms and walked towards the side of the dock facing the cold wind and rain. He asked some local boatmen, but if no one dared to get out of the boat at this time, the 800 mile lake would sometimes be almost the same as the sea.

In previous years, there were adjustments made by the Dragon Lord, but there were always times when the waves were raging. No matter how skilled the boatman is, if he just tries to show off his strength, as the saying goes, 'If you're always by the river, how can you not wet your shoes?' In the end, you will always get stuck in the water, and this becomes a rule unconsciously when it rains.

Many boatmen kindly advised, "Young master, it only takes a day or two, why rush at this time

This is good intentions, "Ye Qing smiled and listened, but even raised the price. These boatmen saw their determination and shook their heads with a smile, saying," No matter how much money you spend, how important is your life

Ten taels, fifteen taels... This scene gradually gathered many boatmen. Although it was raining heavily, there was still lively discussion and watching like watching a play. However, as the price continued to rise, the crowd gradually calmed down.

At fifty taels, everyone was already looking at each other in confusion... For those struggling to make a living on the water, it was almost enough to buy their lives.

Ye Qing stood under an old boat canopy and knew that the fire had arrived. He didn't want to delay any longer and shouted, "Seventy taels of silver, do you have a brave man

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and in the eyes that looked over, there were doubts, hesitations, and struggles... Ye Qing no longer hesitated, held up her umbrella and was about to leave, and immediately said, "I'll go

Looking back, it turned out to be this old ship with a golden carp painted on the bow, which is actually a mark only allowed by old fishermen for generations. Looking at the old hull, there is a hidden luster, which is the protective color formed by decades of immersion of good wood.

Ye Qing actually intended to choose this. At this moment, she glanced around at the boatmen and saw regret or resentment. She knew there was no hope and turned around to leave. In fact, she saw that this ship was different and got on it.

The boat owner is a family of three, a middle-aged couple with a sick looking little girl. At this point, the husband took the initiative and gritted his teeth to agree, saying, "Young master, wait a moment. I'll send my daughter to the shore before sailing

With that, he went ashore and gave instructions before carrying Ye Qing into the lake. Accompanied by dim sunlight, he disappeared into a sea of rain and waves.

The cabin was dimly lit, with only a fixed oil lamp on the table emitting a faint light. Ye Qing paced slowly inside, unable to see her expression clearly.

This time I came to Taiping County, I didn't come casually. First of all, Dragon Maiden has a letter every month. She may not have been worthy before, but now she is Jie Yuangong, which can be said to be basically qualified.

Secondly, regarding the lunar eclipse, others may choose not to mention it, but they still need to inform Dragon Lord to show some kindness and establish a good relationship in the future.

Just as I was thinking, there were footsteps in the cabin and a woman came down.

The oil lamp illuminated the woman, appearing to be in her thirties, but in reality, she could be in her twenties or fifties. Despite being exposed to the sun and rain, she still had some beauty and charm, and her figure was even slimmer

Ye Qing, a fisherman, has seen many of them in this way. In order to make a living, she often takes on the role of a prostitute after getting married and having children, in order to provide more subsidies and support the family's livelihood. Even her husband's family tacitly agrees or supports this.

Does the young master still need to serve... "The fisherman's wife looked at the handsome young man in front of her, her eyes filled with hidden authority, and suddenly realized that she couldn't say anything more.

Ye Qing glanced at her reserved and nervous expression, thinking that she had never received a guest like herself before. As a weak woman, she didn't want to make things difficult for her. After taking another sip of tea, she smiled and politely declined, "Thank you, the tea you cooked is very good, there's no need to change it again

She blinked at her and then stuffed a piece of silver, two or three taels, into her slightly rough hand to give her an explanation.

The fisherman held the silver in her hand and was stunned, afraid to look too much. She felt both embarrassed and grateful in her heart. Even though she was muddy and humble, who wouldn't like to be respected?

He stepped back, briefly served some rice, and a bowl of fish came over. He bowed and stepped back again.

Ye Qing was also hungry at this moment, so she didn't hesitate and started using it.

Entering the night for fifteen miles, the water and sky were all blue and black, making it impossible to distinguish between east, south, and northwest. However, in the eyes of a seasoned sailor who had been floating on this lake for half of his life, he could tell his direction by the level of the waves. Only then did he let the fisherman's wife enter the cabin and ask, "We have arrived at the place where your esteemed guest said

The lake was empty, with only the boat under my feet and a fishing light floating and sinking on the surface. The night sky in all directions seemed to have become darker and deeper due to the rain. At this time, Taiping Lake was not peaceful.

However, in Ye Qing's past life, he had witnessed numerous storms and storms, and now he looked on as if he were idle.

I will see a vision later, don't panic, "I casually instructed the fisherman. I had taken out something from my arms, but it was a golden snail shell with cleverly arranged holes, appearing exquisite and mysterious.

Ye Qing blew the golden snail, and all he could hear was a pleasant whimpering sound, with a calm tone and little fluctuation in rhythm, resembling the ebb and flow of tides in Taiping Lake

I really have the heart, I believe I will pay attention. It's not worth my special visit, "Ye Qing thought lightly in his heart. He didn't believe that there was no tampering in this golden snail gift. He had seen a true ruler in his past life, which was unfathomable and could not be measured by the concept of a mortal.

In this dim rainy night, as the long and pleasant sound of snails spreads, countless water-based spiritual energy gradually rotates and gathers, and raindrops sweep around into whirlpools.

The more the golden snail blew, the more golden light shone in this vortex. Although it had already been reminded, the fisherman and the fisherman's wife were still stunned and said, "This is

Ye Qing was in a daze for a moment, unable to hear any sound. Her body floated up and she seemed to have returned to the golden attic. After closing the curtains tightly, two expectant glances appeared. Unlike before... The curtains were pulled open, revealing two pairs of bright eyes, both calm and gentle.

Wu ", resonance came from deep underwater, and the sturdy hull shook. Ye Qing instantly woke up and understood that she had been locked in place.

At this moment, there were various visions that even the husband couldn't avoid suspicion and ran over to take a look. He saw a faint and mysterious radiance shining deep in the water, which was indescribable and rapidly expanding, presenting a slender, graceful, and majestic figure. Two golden blue dots appeared.

This husband has always been arrogant and brave. With just one glance, he couldn't help but kneel down, leaning his head against the boat board and trembling as he said, "Dragon, dragon... Lord Dragon King

The wind brought a sudden rain, the fishing boat swayed, and the fisherman's pale face was about to kneel down. Ye Qing helped her and held her hand and umbrella handle together, making the oil umbrella stand firm in the wind and rain.

Be cautious? Not necessarily. When a dragon travels, it will inevitably bring wind and rain. Even if you are a carp, you can affect the mist in rainy and snowy weather, let alone a dragon

The thought flashed through my heart, fearlessly and without anger. I looked down at this unfamiliar figure underwater and met the majestic golden eyes. The golden eyes went out, and the radiance disappeared.

With a loud sound of water, ten meters away, the rain and waves parted. A young girl dressed in light yellow palace attire, draped in a delicate veil of cicada wings, stepped out with a clear and bone penetrating beauty. Under the night sky, she stepped closer to the water in a graceful manner.

At this point, the surrounding wind, rain, water, and waves returned to normal, and the dragon body was indeed different from the human body.

Ye Qing put away the golden snail and had already guessed about the person who came.

But the aftermath of being played with a different role by the twins still made Ye Qing stare at the golden pearl hanging on her forehead. As she approached, she could see the petite dragon shadow lying quietly inside, with her head slightly raised and a golden majesty in her eyes... It was undoubtedly her sister.

As she was lost in thought, the Dragon Maiden stopped at the side of the ship and casually asked, "Ye Jun, what are you looking at

Look at the debtor, "Ye Qing raised her finger and shook it in front of her.

Jingyu saw his serious expression and frowned for a moment, feeling somewhat puzzled: "You said it was me

There is a kind princess who gave me a golden snail. Hmm, there is also a princess. What about the promised gift? "Ye Qing smiled and looked at the girl in front of her. She felt that the quality of the silk dress was extraordinary, not stained by water, and it shone brightly in the dark, revealing a slim waist, swollen chest, beautiful face, and calm temperament. She couldn't help but be surprised and loved, and was stunned.

What do you want? "Jingyu understood and asked naturally, seemingly not caring about the teasing gaze, extending a jade hand to him just across the board.

I want you... "Ye Qing held the soft little hand and said with a smile. Just as she spoke, a huge force came from her, and before she could react, she was carried into the water with a" whoosh ".

There were two screams from the boat, and the boatwoman and boatman looked at each other, quickly bowing to the lake. Everyone knew that there was a Dragon Palace in Taiping Lake, but few people actually saw it, so they couldn't help but feel awe.

As the head of the household, what should we do

It's the Dragon Palace recruiting a son-in-law, we can't be here! "He said, wanting to shake the boat back, but the boat didn't move at all. After trying a few times, the boatman finally gave up and smiled bitterly," It seems we have to wait for the young master to come back

The boatwoman hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "As the head of the household, aren't we earning this life-saving money at night just for Hui'er

I heard that there are countless treasures in the Dragon Palace. We are not greedy, we just want to cure Hui'er's illness

A cool breeze swept over, and the boatman shuddered. He watched as the wind and rain approached, approaching a few feet but weakening. He became even more convinced and gritted his teeth, saying, "Okay, when the young master comes back, let's kowtow together
