Chapter 361: Accidental Victims

Dong Liang and Gongsun Xi stopped discussing the matter, and when they got out of the house, they saw that there was a chaos on the street, he was a little surprised, and pulled an old man who was originally setting up a stall nearby and asked, "What's the matter?"

The old man was hurriedly cleaning up the stall, and when he heard the words, he pushed him impatiently, but he didn't want to push it, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a burly man in the prime of life with a fierce appearance, and he was a little afraid in his heart, so he had to answer: "Only then did the military master gallop by, reporting along the way, it was Ru Ru and the previous traitorous hussar general, jointly attacking the northern frontier, Jizhou City has fallen, the northern Xinjiang army has collapsed for thousands of miles, and the imperial court is about to think about it...... The imperial court is now making the real long live and the fake long live, and the 400,000 forbidden troops are divided into two halves: you fight me, I beat you...... Where is the time to do this?"

"We Li Shu don't care about life and death, so we can only quickly pack up our things and run for our lives!"

In a trance, he remembered that Dong Liang came out of the house next to him, so he persuaded again, "You are a relative and friend of this family, hurry up and go in to remind you, and leave quickly! The old man remembered that there seemed to be young female dependents in this house, and he also bought two maids to serve? Ruru came, and the female dependents were the most unlucky! If you don't leave now, it will be too late to regret it!"

When the town is in shambles, the sea is calm.

In the cabin with the most spacious view on the second floor of the sea ship, Sheng Weiqiao wore a cloak and looked into the distance against the blowing sea breeze, and the "giggle" laughter of Rong Ruibin being teased by the Feng family and Wu Da Dang came from outside the wide open cabin door, and behind him was Xu Lianshan's deliberate low voice: "...... It has been thoroughly investigated, and it is true that those few pirates may have fled from the south. However, it is impossible to confirm whether it is Han Pan's old department. Moreover, the bandits fought before, and most of the suspected people found so far have died, and those who are lucky to be alive are also unknown, and they have to be investigated slowly. ”

He pondered for a while, "In the past few days, my subordinates have been calling attention to it, but I have already found that someone is putting a pontoon at night, and my subordinates have asked people to catch up with it on a sampan. Someone at the bottom suggested not to alarm them for the time being, and to put a long line to catch big fish. But the subordinates feel that the most important thing now is to ensure that the princess of the county and the little prince arrive in Nanfeng County safely. Therefore, he had ordered them to be tied to the back of the ship after three swords and six holes. ”

"That's fine. Sheng Weiqiao nodded and said, "This kind of thing is nothing good to put a long line to catch big fish, what is going on, everyone knows in their hearts." Mi Zhen is a junior, in the end, he suffers a loss, and if he goes out, the person who stands and talks without backache will also persuade him to rest and endure it! It's better not to make it public, let's be happy ourselves!"

Xu Lianshan said with a smile: "My subordinates think the same way. ”

Sheng Weiqiao said: "By the way, has the news of our southward trip been conveyed to Nanfeng County? This time, I have been in the same hometown with my aunt for many years, and I want to come over there and think that we think about it very much." And after the news from the northern Xinjiang side spread, they didn't know that we had left, and they were worried about it. Why don't you tell them the good news sooner rather than later, so that they can be reassured and happy?"

"Because I was afraid that the news would leak out, my subordinates only asked people to explain to the master of the same family. Xu Lianshan said, "Count the days, you should already know over there." As for who the in-laws want to talk to, presumably the in-laws have their own proportions. ”

Sheng Weiqiao nodded and said, "My father is the safest to do things. ”

Speaking of this, the conversation came to an end, and Xu Lianshan was about to retire, when a long series of whistles came from the mast outside, hurried and tactful.

He frowned as he listened.

Sheng Weiqiao looked at his face and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

I remembered that when I returned to Nanfeng County from Chang'an before, the time when Rong Sleeping Crane caught up, it was also a similar signal, and it was the "bandits" who came to the door.

Xu Lianshan shook his head and said: "Someone is in distress, according to the rules of the sea, even if it is a wicked person who kills people without blinking, he will be rescued after all." ”

He gestured to his men on the lower deck looking at the porthole, and said, "We have many ships, and let the worst one be saved, and if they can live, they will live, and if they can't live, it will be their life." ”

The people who were killed should still be a little far away, only the sailor in charge of the lookout on the mast found that Sheng Weiqiao stretched his neck and looked at it a few times, and when he looked out at the sparkling calm sea, she was a little strange, and said: "In such a calm and good weather, there will actually be a ship shipwrecked? We are now in the deep sea, and eighty percent of those who can get here are big ships." Supposedly, if you open your eyes with your eyes closed, nothing will happen, right?"

"If you close your eyes in an unfamiliar sea, no matter how peaceful the sea is, something may really happen. Xu Lianshan knew that although Nanfeng County, where she was born, was close to the sea, she had been raised in the deep boudoir since she was a child, and she had no experience in going to sea...... Even if it is a big ship, if you are unlucky, it may not be able to be comprehensive. Otherwise, everyone can just pick a good day and drive casually, what other route do you need?"

He also said, "The prince of Gaomi came to recruit him before, and although most of the nearby bandits agreed to go ashore, those who did not agree were almost wiped out. However, didn't this give them a year and a half to pack up their things? Now that Chang'an is like that, eighty percent of them don't pay attention to them, and maybe some people think that the imperial court is going to regret it and come out to resume its old business. The people who died, I don't know if it had anything to do with it?"

While they were gossiping, there was already a ship in the fleet to save people.

After a while, the banner of successful rescue came.

When Xu Lianshan saw it, he leaned out of the porthole, called a confidant, and ordered him: "You get a sampan and ask, what's going on?"

The henchman agreed, Xu Lianshan happened to have something, so Tong Sheng Weiqiao retired and went down to get busy.

Sheng Weiqiao returned to the place next door where Rong Ruibin was placed, and saw that Xuan Yu Feng and Wu Da had left at some point, and the nurse and the two maids were guarding the child.

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao come in, the three of them hurriedly got up and saluted.

Sheng Weiqiao made a "silence" gesture, walked lightly to the cradle, and saw Rong Ruibin lying quietly on his back, with his hands on his head, as if surrendering, with long eyelashes like a feather fan, with even breathing on the pink face, lined with a small quilt of red silk entwined with a peony, it was festive and cute.

She stood beside her for a long time before leaving sweetly.

Fang returned to his room, and didn't want Xu Lianshan to send someone up to invite her, saying that the person who had just been rescued was a little unexpected, and he wanted to ask her to go down to the staff.

Sheng Weiqiao went down suspiciously, and saw Xu Lianshan with a few henchmen, including the people he had sent to check on the boat that he had sent over there to save people.

"What's wrong with the rescued people over there?" she waved her hand to stop Xu Lianshan's salute, and asked suspiciously, "It can't be related to me again, right?"

Xu Lianshan said with a strange face: "It's really related to Niangniang...... Do you remember the county lord Jingshu?"

"Huan Yehe?!" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, "Could it be her who was rescued?!No, hasn't the Yongyi Bofu family been in Chang'an! How could they appear at sea and happen to be met by us?"

"It was not the county lord of Jingshu who was rescued, but he brought news of the county lord of Jingshu's family. Xu Lianshan said, "It was the Huan family who gave birth to a child, and he ran out to ask for help." ”

Sheng Weiqiao was stunned: "Ask for help, run out, run out of where?"

"It's an island about a day's trip from our side. Xu Lianshan beckoned someone to bring out a pair of charts and showed them to Sheng Weiqiao, "This island, when someone from our side accompanied the prince of Gaomi to recruit An Qihai, he also went there." It is a relatively large and beautiful place nearby, and it used to be where the fixed sea market was. The sea lord here made a lot of money by opening a market, and because of this, when the prince came over, he didn't plan to accept Zhao'an, and launched an assassination in a vain attempt to deter the court. ”

Speaking of this, he thought about it and said, "Last year, didn't the prince of Gaomi interrupt Zhao'an because of the assassination, returned to Chang'an for diagnosis and treatment, and lay on the bed for several days, but at that time, because of the assassination, the daughter of the sea lord named Tonglian, sacrificed her life to save her, so she took it back to be a concubine?"

"That assassination was the work of the old owner of this island. Of course, he didn't fall well, and he was killed by our people when he turned around. ”

At this time, a person next to him added: "The ship we are taking now belongs to the sea lord." This ship is so much better than the flagship of our Tortoiseshell Island, and the first time the brethren saw it, they knew it had to be ours!

Sheng Weiqiao was not interested in these things, pinched the corners of his forehead, and continued to ask Huan Yehe about it: "When did their family leave Chang'an? What are they going to do on that island?"

"Now...... Why did they send someone out to ask for help, and they happened to be killed, and they happened to meet us?"

"The man said that it was because he went to Suiji Mountain to rob and return to our county king, and King Gaomi and the Meng family all suspected that Duke Huan was still alive, so they sent someone to Yongyi Bofu to inquire about the news. Xu Lianshan said, "Because the king of the county secretly sent the coffin of Duke Huan back to Bishui County for burial." Yongyibo's family was worried that if they knew the truth, the Huan family would have no support, and it would ruin the arrangement of the county king, so they decided to avoid it. ”

So taking advantage of the opportunity to live in Chang'an near Zhuangzi, the family disguised themselves as wealthy businessmen and secretly left Chang'an by boat, intending to go south by sea and find a place to settle. As a result, the hired sea ships were hijacked by the rebellious sea bandits, who originally planned to kill them, but later because they knew that they were the family members of the Duke of Huan, and they had a close relationship with the king of the county...... In fact, it is mainly the latter, because the prince of Gaomi came to Zhao'an before, and the assistant sent by the king of the county was to show the name of tortoiseshell island, and said that it was actually under the command of the king of the county, but it was a temporary help to the prince of Gaomi. ”

"At that time, the pirates here tried several times, but they didn't get the upper hand, and the sea lord who assassinated the prince was done by our brothers, and these things were not long in the past, so they left some reputation. Those bandits were worried that we would come over and ask for someone after we found out the news, so they kept leaving people over there with good food and drink. ”

"It's just that our county king doesn't know about this at all, where will he send someone over?"

"Well, after a long time, life will not be easy. The county lord Jingshu tried to get the family child to bypass the surveillance and came out with a wooden plank to ask for help. ”

Xu Lianshan added, "The waterway we are taking now is relatively hidden, and I don't know how the county lord of Jingshu knows, saying that in the past two months, people have been guarding around here, and I have seen other ships in the middle, but they are all ordinary businessmen, and they can't help if they ask for help, so they ignore it." Let's see how many of us are today, so I got on the boat to explain. ”

Sheng Weiqiao frowned and thought for a while before asking, "Lianshan, do you think this will be a trap?"

"The subordinates sent someone over to take a look. Xu Lianshan said indifferently, "If this is on the shore, we have to be careful." But this is a sea battle, a naval battle, and we have fought more with less every time before, let alone there are more people at this time?"

Just asked, "If it's really Jingshu County Lord's family trapped at sea, then let's?"

"That's definitely going to be saved. Sheng Weiqiao muttered, "But if they want to see me at that time, let the county lord Jingshu come over first! What's more, now that Ruibin is on the boat, it's better to be careful in everything. ”

As soon as Xu Lianshan agreed, he sent someone to investigate, and at the same time let the fleet lower its sails by half and slow down.

So the next evening, the ship in charge of the investigation caught up with the convoy and told the island of the situation in 1510.
