Ye Zhen was still thinking about who to find the treasure, but Ye Yiqing had already thought about it for her. He would help her find it and leave the business in Nanzhou to Man Qin.
"No!" Ye Zhen disagreed. "Dad, the sea is dangerous. I heard from sister Mengxi that there are pirates."
"So what? The world is full of danger, and we are taking risks at sea. "Ye Yiqing said with a smile." Don't worry about the sea, I have a sense of propriety. "
Ye Zhen was still worried. "Why don't you let Shui Yichen go with you?"
Ye Yiqing smiled. "Do you think he will agree?"
No! She only learned a few days ago that Shui Yichen used to be a great general of the State of Qi and came from the same tribal island as Shen Mengxi. He later became a general of the State of Qi because of Shen Mengxi. If not for the fact that Shui Miaomiao was almost killed by Qi Yu, he might still be a general in Northern Border City instead of going to Nanzhou to be a merchant.
It was said that after he resigned from his position as a general, he took people out to sea to do business. Thus, he became the leading merchant in the Southern Province. He was once a general, so there were no officials in the Southern Province that wanted to offend him. This also explained why he could cover the sky with one hand in the Southern Province.
How could such a person be willing to help them go to sea to find a treasure that may not exist?
Ye Zhen didn't know if Shui Yichen would agree, but she still planned to ask him.
Shui Yichen was unhappy with Shui Miaomiao's insistence on staying in Northern Border City. He hadn't seen her for several days. When he knew that Ye Zhen wanted to see him, he showed up with a sullen face.
Meeting his deep and gloomy eyes, Ye Zhen combined with his original identity and now felt that the aura this man showed was the feeling of killing on the battlefield. How could an ordinary businessman have such eyes?
"Are you looking for me? Is there something wrong with Miaomiao's illness? " Shui Yichen glanced down at Ye Zhen, thinking of his sister. If it wasn't related to Miaomiao, he felt that this woman would not take the initiative to see him.
"No, Miaomiao is fine. She is accompanying Mengxi in the palace." Ye Zhen whispered.
Shui Yichen didn't know Ye Zhen's true identity, nor did he know that Shen Mengxi had accepted her two children as her goddaughter and godson. When he heard Ye Zhen call Shen Mengxi's name, he raised his eyebrows slightly. "Then why are you looking for me?"
"I actually want to ask you for help." Ye Zhen said.
Ask him for help? That would be too strange. "How can I help you?"
"To the sea." Ye Zhen whispered, "I won't ask you to go to sea in person. I know you have people who often go to sea. Can you lend me some of them?"
Shui Yichen didn't speak but just looked at Ye Zhen. Although he had left the barracks, some things still reached his ears. He knew that this woman had borrowed soldiers from Qi Yu. He had to reacquaint himself with this woman named Ye Yao Yao. Who was she?
"Why are you going out to sea?" Shui Yichen asked.
Ye Zhen said, "Looking for something."
Shui Yichen laughed softly and said with some mockery, "This reason is too simple."
"It's that simple, but the journey is a bit complicated, so I need more experienced people." Ye Zhen said matter-of-factly.
"Who are you?" Shui Yichen raised his eyebrows and asked. Why did he feel that what she wanted to find was not so simple?
Ye Zhen didn't trust Shui Yichen so much, so she didn't want to say that she wanted to find the treasure. "Are you going to help me or not?"
"What do you want to do by borrowing soldiers and people?" Shui Yichen asked again.
"Is my identity that important?" Ye Zhen glanced at him faintly.
Shui Yichen snorted coldly. "At least I have to be sure that what you are doing is harmless to us. Your appearance is too coincidental. I don't believe you."
"Then why do you want me to treat Miao Miao?" Ye Zhen asked with a sneer. "If you have the ability, don't ask me to treat Miao Miao. Didn't you force me to go to your Shui family? If it weren't for you, we would have left Nanzhou long ago. Can there be so many coincidences? "
"How many people do you want?" Shui Yichen asked with a sullen face. His only weakness was his sister. Now that his sister's life was still in the hands of this woman, he couldn't do anything but listen to her.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Two hundred people."
"Are you a lion?" Shui Yichen asked with a livid face. Two hundred people! Moreover, they had to have experience in going to sea. This was directly borrowing half of his subordinates.
"I wanted to say four hundred people." Ye Zhen said lightly.
Shui Yichen wanted to spit blood at her. "No, two hundred people are too many!"
"Then one hundred!" Ye Zhen reluctantly reduced the number by half. "You can't refuse anymore, can you?"
"You …" Shui Yichen's chest was blocked. He felt that she should have only wanted to borrow a hundred people. Did she deliberately say two hundred?
Ye Zhen was in a much better mood now. "Big boss Shui, thank you for your help."
Shui Yichen felt that he had been set up. After leaving, he endured for a long time before deciding to go to the palace to find Qi Yu.
"You refused to come to Northern Border City for so many years, refused to enter the palace to see me, and now you come to me for a woman?" Qi Yu was very surprised when he heard that Shui Yichen had entered the palace. When he learned the reason for his visit, he couldn't help but mock him.
"I didn't enter the palace for her." Shui Yichen's eyes flashed with embarrassment. He just wanted to know the identity of the woman.
Qi Yu glanced at him with a faint smile. "Don't tell me what you asked has nothing to do with her?"
Shui Yichen stood there expressionlessly, his eyes slightly lowered. He looked as if he wouldn't ask again if Qi Yu didn't say anything.
"Her name is Lu Yaoyao, the empress of Jin Kingdom." Qi Yu knew Shui Yichen's temperament. He couldn't take a joke. If he continued to mock him, he might turn around and leave, never to come to Northern Border City again.
"The empress of Jin Kingdom?" Even Shui Yichen, who had always been calm, was stunned. He had guessed Ye Zhen's various identities, but never thought that she would be the empress. "Isn't she a widow?"
Qi Yu asked with a smile. "If she were a widow, would you be able to marry her?"
Shui Yichen's face darkened even more. He almost shouted through gritted teeth, "Your Majesty, I've never had any improper thoughts about her!"
"That's good. I heard that Mo Rongzhan isn't that easy to deal with." Qi Yu nodded with a smile.
"Is he still a man to let his empress go out to sea and risk her life?" Shui Yichen snorted coldly. He felt that the woman must have suffered great grievances to leave Jin Kingdom. Otherwise, why would she risk her life with a child?
"I don't know about that. As for borrowing troops, I've already agreed," said Qi Yu.
If that woman was the empress, then borrowing troops made sense. Shui Yichen nodded lightly. "I understand."
