The water system network of Luoshui and the Yellow River Basin in this world has always been very developed. Both the depth and width are so amazing that even a large-scale ship like the Dongming, which has a draft of more than ten feet, can travel unimpeded and travel along the ocean.

The canal runs all the way from Yuhang to Luoyang.

Therefore, when Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling and Huan Huan made the decision and were preparing and waiting intensively, they took advantage of the opportunity after dark to leave the Villa and prepared to sneak into the 'Yanggong Treasure' to retrieve the Evil Emperor's relics and the contents inside.

All the gold, silver, treasures, weapons and armor were swept away and escaped from Luoyang. When they returned to Yuhang, in the flowing Luoshui River dozens of miles away from Luoyang outside the city, a certain little girl disappeared on the Dongming.

But the Grand Master was here, enjoying the dinner that Shan Wanjing had carefully prepared for her without any ceremony.

"..."

(??~??) Chew!

Tuk! Tuk!

At this time, before Annie had finished eating, there were two hesitant knocks on the door.

"??"

(°～°〃)

Then when Annie turned her head and looked up, she realized that the person standing outside the hatch was not Shan Wanjing, the handsome and heroic guy, but for some reason he had a sad look on his face.

who is it?

"..."

Σ(°△°|||)︴

"Come in, what are you doing standing there?"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

Looking at Shan Wanjing who was standing there at the hatch, hesitant to speak, helpless and anxious, Annie's eyes first flashed with a trace of surprise, and then without thinking much, she signaled the other person to come in quickly and then continued.

He chewed and ate it.

"Remember to close the door, the wind on the river is very strong in the middle of the night!"

(￣～￣)Chew!

Anne was not stupid. She could see that the other party must have something to tell her. However, no matter what it was, she, Queen Anne, had the most important meal in the world!

Therefore, unless the other party takes the initiative to explain, she will definitely not ask before she has eaten and drank enough.

"..."

Shan Wanjing didn't say a word, and quickly entered the cabin with lowered eyebrows, closed the cabin door, and sat cross-legged and kneeling opposite Annie.

Then, when she sat down, she actually clenched her hands slightly into fists and put them on her knees. Her eyes were wandering, looking nervous and entangled. She didn't dare to look at Annie, but she didn't speak, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

.

"..."

(￣～￣)Chew!

And Annie didn't ask, just continued to eat her food, letting the other person sit opposite her and raise her head from time to time, as if he was hesitant to speak.

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

"!

"

"Master..."

"Did I really do something wrong?"

Finally, Shan Wanjing, who had been struggling for a long time and raised her head to look at Anne at least ten times, wanted to say something every time, but in the end backed away, finally made up her mind and suddenly sat up straight and asked.

"??"

(*ˉ?ˉ*;)

"What did you do wrong?"

(???.???)????

Hearing this, Annie frowned slightly and was a little confused. She subconsciously looked at the food in her hands and on the small table in front of her. Whether it was eating or drinking, it was all good. Anyway, she didn't feel anything.

It's not right, and I don't think the other party did anything wrong.

"I……"

"I really shouldn't have helped outsiders that day, and I shouldn't have persuaded Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong to give up He's Bi..."

"They must hate me now, right?"

First, she raised her head and glanced at Annie, who was just eating and drinking, and pursed her lips. Shan Wanjing gritted her teeth before finally speaking in a low voice.

"oh!"

(⊙o⊙*)

"Is that what happened?"

(*?^?*)

"..."

(,,?????,,)

After responding and looking at the other party, Annie lowered her head and continued to eat.

As for what Shan Wanjing said just now, although she listened to it, she didn't take it to heart. After all, it was already in the past, so she wouldn't waste her brain thinking about things like this.

The guy who disturbed her sleep in the morning and late at night!

"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."

(????)

However, I remembered that night that bad woman named Concubine Shi Xuan was pinned to the table by her and Huan Huan, who took off her skirt and spanked her with a scabbard for a hundred times until her buttocks were red and swollen and tied up all night,

She thought it was quite interesting after she remembered it and let it go early the next morning.

After their small punishments and severe punishments, I think that bad woman will not dare to trouble them again for a long time in the future, right?

"??"

"Teacher, master..."

"Don't you want to ask a few more questions?"

After waiting for a while with a dejected expression, Shan Wanjing became a little anxious when she found that she didn't get any expected reply. She had to sit up straight again and continue to ask questions anxiously and hopefully.

"I don't want to!"

(*^-^)ρ

Anne said: Of course she didn't want to care about things that she knew the outcome from the beginning and were super boring, and she never wanted to ask more questions about things she didn't care about.

"..."

Shan Wanjing was dumbfounded, and then she became so anxious that her face suddenly turned red.

"??"

(^～^;)

Seeing the other person's face turning red from the root of his neck to the top of his head, even his eyes turning slightly red, and looking like he was about to burst into tears, I thought that it had been a long time since we met each other again, and our relationship was relatively good. I thought of each other.

He is already such a grown-up person, and for fear of being seen by others on the ship and misunderstood as a child bullying an adult, Anne thought for a moment, then had to reluctantly follow the other person's intention and ask:

"All right!"

ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas

"Then why did you do that?"

(???.???)????

Of course, when asked, Anne just asked casually, but she never really thought about finding out why the other party did what she did, and she really didn't care at all.

If the other party likes to talk, she won't mind if he doesn't push her down.

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

"I……"

"I thought they weren't going to win..."

"and……"

"And I have known Brother Shimin for a few years, and he has always been very good to me..."

"I……"

Having said this, Shan Wanjing paused, pursed her lips, and held back the tears that almost burst out of her eyes for a long time.

"I may have really done something wrong."

"When I go back, my mother will definitely punish me!"

"Woo..."

As she spoke, Shan Wanjing began to sob.

To be honest, she didn't know why she stood in the position of an outsider and persuaded Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong to return the He's Bi. Anyway, at that time, she analyzed the situation and felt that it was impossible to keep the thing.

When she was worried about the two of them, by coincidence, the eldest brother Li Shimin came to look for her again, and after casually saying some very reasonable words, she responded impulsively and unexpectedly.

Then, she naturally went to the other garden to persuade Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to go.

But now, the situation that night actually developed in a direction that no one had thought of, and now she finally woke up and realized for the first time how serious what she did at that time was from a personal standpoint.

bad!

Therefore, she was worried that she would have a reputation of being unchaste and unjust from now on, worried that she would be punished by her mother when she returned to the Dongming Sect, and worried that her image in the minds of brothers Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling would deteriorate.

Then I can't help but start worrying about gains and losses.

And this was the reason why she came here and urgently wanted to talk to Annie, who was the master of Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong and was also her half-master.

"Indeed!"

(′?~?`)

"It seems like you really shouldn't be facing outsiders!"

?(⊙?⊙)?

Regarding this point, Anne said that what the other party did was indeed not good enough, but she herself was completely different.

because……

Her Lady Queen Anne has always only helped her own people, and ah, she has always only cared about people who have a good relationship with her. As for what outsiders who don't know her, are not familiar with her, or have a cold reputation, think of them, or what are their benefits.

She never cares about any bad or bad thoughts!

"..."

Hearing that Annie thought so, the fear and anxiety in Shan Wanjing's eyes instantly became more obvious.

"I know!"

"But!"

"I……"

"I don't even know what to do right now."

"I regret it so much!"

"real!"

"I……"

As she talked, Shan Wanjing gradually became a little at a loss, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"That's it!"

??(??￣?￣)????

"I just made a mistake. It's not a big deal. I often made mistakes at home before!"

(゜▽＾*)

Anne winked playfully and reluctantly comforted her.

You know, when she was in the land of voodoo, especially when Annie was only three or four years old, she often made mistakes. She was often caught by the wizard grandfather and Amorin's mother and asked her to do self-examination. But after the self-examination, she was

If you don’t change it, you’ll do it again next time!

Therefore, making mistakes or something like that is really no big deal in Annie's mind.

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

"But……"

"I think Xu Ziling and the others must hate me to death..."

"What should I do?"

Shan Wanjing was still worried. After all, not everyone is so big-minded or has shortcomings.

Thinking about it now, she always felt that what she did that day was really stupid, and she even scolded the two of them bloody. But the facts proved that they did not do anything wrong, and it was her who was wrong, and

Or is it something very, very outrageous?

Of course, what makes Shan Wanjing the most uneasy is that she has heard about the witch from the Yinkui sect, the woman who, like herself, was inexplicably betrothed to Kou Zhong, who knew that both parties were

When there was a great disparity in power and it was very likely that his life would be in danger, did he still resolutely choose to support Kou Zhong and stay in that villa?

In contrast to these two situations, when Shan Wanjing came to her senses afterwards, she was so ashamed that she really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in, and then never come out again.

Just from this point alone, she could already imagine what would be waiting for her when she returned to the Dongming Sect.

"..."

(?~?)

Seeing the other party's appearance, Anne wanted to help, but she didn't know what to do?

You know, she herself is only an eight-year-old girl...

Furthermore, making mistakes is a common occurrence for her. If she makes a mistake, she can just ignore it. As long as she firmly believes that she is right, then the person who is wrong must be someone else, so it is not a big deal!

She was very good at that kind of thing, and she never cared about mistakes or guilt.

How do you say that?

It seems like ‘as long as you don’t have a heart, you will never get hurt’?

Anne was convinced of this and took her "heartless" expression to the extreme!

Not to mention anything else, just in the last world, when she was on the broken ship called the Orville, the various bad things and pranks she did would be endless. If she had made a mistake every time,

If Shan Wanjing is as regretful and guilty as the one in front of her, she is afraid that forty-eight hours a day will not be enough!

so!

Everyone makes mistakes, and guilt is absolutely impossible for Queen Anne. With that kind of free time, she might as well think about how to eat, drink, have fun and continue to do whatever she wants to cause trouble to others, or to herself.

Looking for fun or something?

(…)

(￢?￢.)

"..."

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

However, seeing that Shan Wanjing still had the same expression in front of her, Annie had no choice but to think about it again and reluctantly gave a solution that was not a solution and tried to suggest:

"All right!"

(O ^~^ O)

"Maybe you could consider apologizing to those idiots Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong?"

???(＿＿*)??

Anne didn't know whether that method was good or not. Anyway, she just said it casually and didn't care whether it worked or not.

"!

"

"Will they forgive me?"

Hearing this, Shan Wanjing suddenly raised her head and asked Annie with a hopeful look on her face.

"have no idea."

(*???*)

Annie said that she was not the two idiots Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, so how could she know whether those two people would choose to forgive?

"But you can at least make yourself feel better?"

(?^▽^?)

"Then you can forgive yourself?"

?(￣??)???

That’s right!

Anne knew that an apology never necessarily meant truly repenting or asking for forgiveness from others. It was just an excuse and step for the wrongdoer to find for themselves to forgive themselves.

because……

As long as you apologize, you can continue to make mistakes with peace of mind and confidence next time!

Anyway, this is what Queen Anne did when she was a child. Apologizing is just a reason for herself to forgive herself, and then she still dares to apologize, then continues to apologize, and continues to make mistakes, and this cycle continues endlessly?

"..."

Shan Wanjing opened her mouth and stared at Annie with dull eyes. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't come up with a retort for a long time.

"Oh! You're welcome. After all, we are all so familiar."

(′???`)

"correct!"

Annie wiped her mouth, then looked at the many untouched foods on her table before suddenly smiling and asking:

o(*?^?*)o

"Do you have any other questions?"

(???.???)????

And her meaning is very obvious, that is: if there is no problem, the other party should leave, or simply shut up and not disturb her here to continue eating?

"I……"

"You're right, I really should apologize to them..."

"only……"

"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to apologize to them in person."

As she spoke, Shan Wanjing slowly lowered her head as she thought of something.

"..."

"When I return to Ryukyu this time, after my mother finds out, I'm afraid she won't allow me to easily set foot in the Central Plains again, right?"

"The situation in Luoyang and the world has changed drastically. I don't know what will happen to them in the future..."

"Maybe my mother is right. She has said it before, saying that my vision, skills and decision-making skills in handling things are somewhat lacking. I am afraid that I can't even handle a Dongming sect?"

"The funny thing is……"

"A few days ago, I tried to interfere in the general trend of the world..."

"I'm so stupid..."

"and……"

"I've been having some doubts in the past two days. I don't know if the relationship between me and Xu Ziling can continue..."

Then, as she spoke, Shan Wanjing's voice slowly deepened, so much so that Anne couldn't hear clearly what she said in the end.

"..."

(￣～￣)Chew!

Although, she probably wasn't listening at all?

"Anyway!"

"Master, you will definitely be disembarking from the ship in a few days, right?"

"Then this letter..."

"Please be sure to hand it over to Xu Ziling personally, please!"

Finally, after Shan Wanjing murmured for a long time, she made up her mind and took out a copy of the letter with her body temperature and the scent of powder from her arms and handed it to Annie with both hands, blushing slightly.

He pleaded.

"letter?"

!(;?o?)o

"Oh! No problem, I will definitely give it to him next time he meets me!"

(?￣?￣?) Okay

What if she still remembers it by then?

With that said, amid Shan Wanjing's anxiety, Annie stretched out her greasy little hands to grab the letter, and then stuffed it directly into her pocket without looking at it.

"Thank you, Master!"

"That……"

"Wan Jing won't disturb your meal?"

Finally, after she said what was on her mind, she felt much better, and sighed with relief. After her whole body seemed to have completely relieved her burden, Shan Wanjing slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

"Uh-huh!"

(o゜▽゜)o

"Go, go! People will definitely remember it!"

(*′▽｀)◇

Although it was very likely that he would be completely forgotten in the next second, Anne still gave the other party an unreliable guarantee.

Of course!

She only promised that she would definitely remember it, but when she would remember it and be reminded of it by her... that kind of thing is a matter worthy of discussion and consideration.

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

…

And almost at the same time, when Shan Wanjing was upset because of her personal feelings and position issues and chose the wrong person to confide in, she was about to leave the cabin of the Dongming and close the door. She was dozens of miles away.

In Luoyang City, Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling and Huanwan finally successfully found the entrance to a secret passage in a mansion and opened it.

And that's when!

"Evil King" Shi Zhixuan suddenly appeared, and the three of them were so frightened that they almost ran away on the spot!

Fortunately, the Yinkui Party was well prepared for this. At the moment when Shi Zhixuan appeared, the "Yin Queen" Zhu Yuyan brought the veteran of the Yinkui Party "Yunyu Shuangxiu" to guard Xuan, Wen Caiting, "Silver-haired Charming" Dan Mei and Luoyang gang leader Shangguan Long and others appeared.

After the other party made a bold move to hold back Shi Zhixuan, Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling and Huan Huan were able to successfully enter the secret passage.

However……

"!

"

"Why are you here?"

"Where's the treasure?!"

About a quarter of an hour later, when Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling and Huanwen emerged from the Luoshui River again and came ashore, they appeared in the dense forest near the river where they met Annie that night and shot down "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao. When they came up, Huanwan instantly became a little overwhelmed and immediately questioned the two of them.

Because, the Yinkui Sect has already searched this place countless times, and there is no treasure at all!

"Hahaha!"

"Huanhan, have you been fooled too?"

"Who told you that Yang Gong's treasure is in Luoyang?"

"that is!"

"It seems that you were also confused by the news we deliberately spread, right?"

"Hey, let's put it this way..."

"Zi Ling, we brothers should be pretending to be the same thing these days?"

"okay!"

"Stop talking about it now, let's disguise ourselves, go get the treasure, and then run back to our own territory!"

"I don't want to be chased by that Shi Zhixuan!"

The two of them first taunted the astonished Huanwan and sneered. Then, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling hurriedly took out the clothes and several human skin masks that they had prepared, and signaled to Huanhua to change quickly. superior.

That was given to them by their Master Anne, saying it came from a bad old man named 'Lu Miaozi'?

Then, their Master Anne didn't like those things, so she threw them all to the two of them together with the books.

"That……"

"Where is the treasure?"

She never expected that she would be fooled by these two people. Thinking of Master Zhu and others who were still entangled with Shi Zhixuan in Luoyang City, Huanwan couldn't help but feel a little angry, and she obediently accepted the set of men. Wearing a large coat and a human skin mask, he frowned and asked.

"Chang'an!"

"Prancing Horse Bridge!"

"

This time, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling no longer had any intention of concealing anything, so they spoke openly and openly.

Of course!

They don't know where the specific entrance is yet. They will have to go to the Yuanma Bridge in Chang'an first to find out.

"Walk!"

"We have already prepared the boat, it should be right in front!"

"Let's go!

"

Soon, when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finished disguising themselves, and when Huanwen went to the woods to put on men's clothes and a mask and turned into an old woman, Kou Zhong waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to set off quickly along the Luo River. The water left Luoyang overnight and entered the Yellow River, then went upstream to Chang'an.
