1209. Chapter 1209 Fifth Brother

Ye Zhen sat in the room for more than ten days, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. With Ye Yiqing's consent, she finally had a chance to go out for a walk. Although she was not allowed to stay outside for too long, at least she didn't have to stay outside anymore. Stay in the room.

As soon as she came out of the room, Ye Zhen saw a young man walking towards her. His face looked a bit familiar. She didn't remember who he was for a moment. She just thought she had seen him somewhere before.

"Yao Yao?" Ye Chundong looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. He had heard that Lu Yaoyao and Ye Zhen looked similar, but he didn't expect them to be so... similar. Although he had not seen Ye Zhen many times before, But he was very familiar with her expression. Not to mention her facial features, Lu Yaoyao even looked very much like Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen looked at him doubtfully. She really felt that this man was so familiar. It seemed...impossible. Wasn't that man already dead? "Who are you?"

"My name is Ye Chundong, and I am your cousin..." Ye Chundong smiled, "You may have never heard of me. I haven't lived in the Ye family since I was a child. I stayed with my second uncle more often. I used to... With your brother and sister.”

Ye Chundong! Ye Chundong, the uncle's illegitimate son who was later killed by someone sent by his aunt?

No, she remembered that Ye Chundong was dead. Wasn't his body buried in the Ye family's ancestral grave? Why is he here?

Ye Zhen was simply dumbfounded, staring at Ye Chundong, "You are... the son of my eldest uncle, is that Ye Chunming's younger brother?"

"Have you met eldest brother?" Ye Chundong smiled. It was obvious that he was a little uncomfortable when he mentioned Ye Chunming. He was severely bullied by Ye Chunming in the Ye family.

"It's really..." Ye Zhen almost said it was really you, but luckily she remembered that she was not Ye Zhen now, but Lu Yaoyao, "Then should I call you second cousin?"

"I don't have the highest rank in the Ye family, but your sister always calls me Fifth Brother." Ye Chundong said with a smile.

Ye Zhen laughed, "Then I will also call you Fifth Brother."

In fact, Ye Yisong had three sons. In addition to Ye Chunming, the second son was also beheaded. The other one was Ye Chundong. However, Ye Chundong was born from an outsider and was always hated by his aunt. When he first took him back to the Ye family, he was bullied by Ye Chunming. Dare to hide in the corner and cry secretly. If she and Ye Chunnan hadn't protected her, she would have been bullied long ago. Thinking of the younger generation of the Ye family in the past, Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. Ye Chunming has been under house arrest, so now There was only one cousin who didn't show up.

However, Ye Wei probably won't come back again. She heard that this cousin eloped with someone else. Ye Yisong had said a long time ago that no one would mention this daughter at home. Ye Zhen actually didn't remember Ye Wei very much. What does it look like?

Ye Chundong smiled and said, "Hey, if you need anything on the ship from now on, just come to me."

"You..." Ye Zhen still didn't understand, "How come you are with my father? Weren't you in Kyoto when the Ye family was in trouble?"

"It makes no difference whether I am in Kyoto or not. In everyone's eyes, I am already dead." Ye Chundong said, "You don't know about this yet. I am actually a child born by my father outside. I was not taken back until I was ten years old. The eldest lady couldn't tolerate me. When someone took me out to play, she found a kidnapper to take me away. If my second uncle hadn't saved me, I would have been beaten to death by the kidnapper. I have been in Jinkou City since then. My second uncle asked People ask me to write and practice martial arts.”

It turns out that dad saved Ye Chundong! She didn't know anything about it. Her father had hidden it so deeply!

"Don't uncle know that dad saved you?" Ye Zhen asked strangely.

Ye Chunnan smiled and shook his head, "No one knows."

"Okay." Ye Chun also convinced his father in his heart. He seemed to have many surprising things, whether it was becoming the prime minister of Dongqing Kingdom, or conjuring such a big ship to go to sea. Now I know that he also saved Ye Chundong , no matter what happens next, she won’t find it magical.

"You haven't seen this ship yet, let me take you for a walk." Ye Chundong said. Maybe it was because he looked so similar, but he always felt that the Lu Yaoyao in front of him was the sister who had protected him when he was a child.

Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After being on the ship for so long, Ye Zhen didn't even know what the ship looked like. She could only roughly feel that it was very big. She followed Ye Chundong out of the cabin and finally saw the appearance of the ship. She was dumbfounded.

"This... boat..." Ye Zhen was dumbfounded. She knew the boat was big, but she never thought it would be so big.

Ye Chundong explained to her with a smile, "The ship paper was designed by my second uncle himself. Over the years, I completed the manufacturing of this boat for my second uncle in Jinkou City. I was afraid of being discovered, so I made it in three shipyards. It is called the Dafu Ship. It is somewhat different from the Dafu Ships of the previous dynasties. It has three towers and is wide at the bottom. It can accommodate a hundred people. The previous Dafu Ship had too deep draft and was slow to start and end, so my second uncle made changes to the hull. Even the maneuverability is different.”

Ye Zhen had seen in the book the ship Qi Yanling used when she went to sea. It was the great fortune ship she had people build at that time, but it was different from the current ship. She was secretly surprised, what else could Daddy not do?

"There are four floors here. The bottom floor is equipped with ballast stones. The second floor is where the crew lives. The third floor is the wing room. The top floor is the terrace. I will take you to the terrace someday." Ye Chundong said with a smile.

"What is this?" Ye Zhen asked, pointing to something at the front of the ship that she had never seen before.

Ye Chundong said, "Oh, that's the red cannon. You can use it if you encounter pirates."

"Daddy secretly asked you to do these things in Jinkou City? How many years have you been preparing for?" Ye Zhen thought of the travel notes in the villa. How many years ago did dad want to go to sea? Otherwise he wouldn't have prepared these things.

"It's been more than ten years. When I took over, my second uncle had already started making preparations." Ye Chundong said with a smile.

Ye Zhen walked to the board of the ship and looked at the blue sky and sea. Even the air was filled with the salty smell of sea water. She smiled and said, "No wonder people say that even though the Fortune Ship is as tall as a city, it is still a light boat in the sea."

"Have you ever been to the sea before?" Ye Chundong asked.

"No." She just always yearned for it.

Ye Chundong smiled and said, "Then you are very adaptable. Many people who have never been on a boat will get seasick when going to sea."

"How long until we can reach the shore?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. They had been at sea for a long time and should have left Jin Kingdom's territory by now.

"Ahead is Baoxiang Country. Let's go and exchange some food. If you want to get off the ship, you can go and have a look." Ye Chundong said.

Ye Zhen's eyes lit up, "Are you arriving at Baoxiang Country so soon?"
