Chapter 290 People should not be judged by their appearance
It is talking about the ten-day period. In fact, Lu Mei had already prepared the ships and people on the eighth day.
He went to the backyard room in person, and when he saw Xie Fengyue, he said: "Princess, everything is ready, and you can leave today."
Xie Fengyue opened the window and looked at the sky outside.
It was already past noon, and the sun outside was so bright that it was hard to keep your eyes open.
She frowned, with a hint of doubt in her voice: "Are you leaving now?"
Lu Mei bowed: "Exactly, the wind direction is southwest today, just right for heading to the sea channel."
Xie Fengyue thought about it for a few moments before agreeing. Going to sea is very demanding. First, it requires an experienced lookout to observe the recent wind direction. Second, it requires a bold and careful captain and helmsman. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
As a layman, she only knew a little bit about it, so it was really hard to talk too much about this kind of thing.
"Master Lu, wait a moment." After Xie Fengyue said that, she said to the broken branches outside the door: "Go and call Xiao Xuan and Li Xiaobao."
When Xiao Xuan was mentioned, Lu Mei's expression became complicated.
Xie Fengyue saw this in her eyes and kept it in her heart.
She had known that Xiao Xuan was from the Iron Clan since she first entered Shengjing and lived in Zhongcheng Xiaoyuan.
Although Xiao Xuan had a sharp mind and great strength, he was still young after all. He had the task of monitoring Xie Rong at that time, and Hua Rui was responsible for cleaning and tidying up the house where he lived.
When Huarui sorted out a few tattered books in his room, she thought they were left behind by Xie Fengyue. She was illiterate, so she could only hurriedly deliver them to Xie Fengyue.
Xie Fengyue glanced at it and thought it was the ancient books in her carriage. After flipping through a few pages, she was convinced that they were not.
None of her books talked about the Iron Smelting Clan, and this was even the first time she had heard of the Iron Smelting Clan.
She immediately understood that this was something Xiao Xuan brought from Qishan. Xie Fengyue was not an upright and good person, but she really couldn't do such a thing as spying on people behind their backs.
She immediately asked Huarui to put the books back intact.
After this incident, combined with the abnormality when he was in Qishan, the Yetie clan has gained a reputation in Xie Fengyue's heart.
In the days that followed, she tested Xiao Xuan several times with words, and found that the child knew too much, which was not what a wild child who had been living in Qishan all year round should have.
When she first arrived in Shengjing, she had so many things to do that she didn't bother to think about Xiao Xuan in detail, so she simply sent him away because of her father's travels.
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Xie Fengyue's thoughts.
When she raised her eyes, Li Xiaobao had already pushed the door open and entered with Xiao Xuan.
Xie Fengyue collected her thoughts and waved to Xiao Xuan: "Xiao Xuanzi, come here and talk."
When Xiao Xuan heard this, he walked towards Xie Fengyue without hesitation.
His hair was not completely combed into a neat bun today due to his young age. He wore it in a bun. This bun was supposed to give people an innocent and cute feeling, but his immature face was full of seriousness and innocence. The two words have nothing to do with each other.
"What's the matter, lady?" After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at Xie Fengyue.
"I want to go to sea to find mineral veins, and I need your help."
Xie Fengyue didn't bother to make any detours, and directly brought her thoughts to the table. Her eyes never left Xiao Xuan's face when she spoke.
Xiao Xuan's expression was still serious. After hearing Xie Fengyue's words, he subconsciously bit his lip, then immediately lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
Xie Fengyue half-leaned on the chair, quietly waiting for his answer.
Finally, he spoke with a slightly hoarse voice: "Start from the big fishing port in the southwest direction. After five hundred nautical miles, wait for the southeast wind to pick up. After three quarters, the general helm will turn to Mao position, and then go west for another 120 nautical miles. can be found.”
When this complicated geographical location was told by a child under ten years old, Li Xiaobao was the most shocked. His mouth opened wide in surprise: "Xiao Xuanzi, you"
After Xiao Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, he spoke again: "Girls can't go to sea."
Xie Fengyue raised her eyebrows: "Why can't I go?"
"The situation at sea is changing rapidly. Even the most experienced captain and helmsman may get lost. A girl with a rich body cannot take risks."
He paused and continued: "Since the girl has asked me about this, she probably already knows my identity in her heart, so I can just go and do the prospecting."
Xie Fengyue hesitated.
She is a life-loving person.
When asking Lu Mei for a boat, all she wanted to do was wander around the reef waters and try her luck. What if she just got lucky and met her?
But today Xiao Xuan has made the general location clear, and this is no longer something that can be tried in four or five days.
I don’t know how much time it will take just to sail the five hundred nautical miles, not to mention waiting there for the southeast wind to blow up. If there is no southeast wind for one day, won’t it take an extra day?
In that vast and boundless sea, there is a risk of staying one more day.
"You list the things you need one by one, and I will provide you with everything." Xie Fengyue hesitated but decided not to give in.
She has a specialization in the art industry, so it is really not a wise move for her, who is not even a qualified person, to go to explore the island rashly.
Xiao Xuan took a deep look at Xie Fengyue and asked, "When did the girl know about it?"
He changed the topic too quickly. Xie Fengyue was still immersed in going to sea. A trace of confusion appeared on her face and she replied: "What do you know?"
After receiving this answer, Xiao Xuan subconsciously thought that Xie Fengyue didn't want to mention it.
His eyes were filled with sadness: "Of course the girl has her own plans. I won't ask you any questions today. When I return safely, I hope that the girl can clarify her doubts."
After that, he turned and left.
The figure that was less than five feet tall was full of determination.
Xie Fengyue stretched out her hand, and finally let it go after sighing.
Forget it, this kid has a lot on his mind right now. Telling him clearly will only make him think wildly. It's better to wait until he comes back.
As soon as Xiao Xuan left, Xie Fengyue's eyes naturally fell on Lu Mei.
Seeing his eyes following the small figure, Xie Fengyue gently rubbed it with her fingers a few times.
"Master Lu, what I prepared before may not be enough. I will ask Zhe Zhi to send you money later. You must prepare all the food and drinks on the ship. I will have to trouble you about this, sir."
Xie Fengyue had finished speaking, but Lu Mei hadn't come back to her senses yet.
Xie Fengyue said again: "Master Lu?"
"Ah? Ah, okay, okay, as for the princess, Yongning is the fiefdom of the princess, and the lower official is the subordinate official of the princess. No matter how troublesome it is, this is what the lower official should do." Lu Mei finished her official duties. Li, the tone was respectful and there was no fault in it.
Xie Fengyue's eyebrows were curved: "It seems that Mr. Lu likes this kid Xiao Xuan very much."
Lu Mei smiled warmly, as if the previous gaffe was Xie Fengyue's hallucination.
He said: "This child looks like an old friend of mine."
