February 22, Huangyan County.

The drizzling rain annoyed people, even if there was a new Ming Qian Longjing sent by the Governor's Palace, Qian Yuan still kept sighing, when he crossed over, he judged that the eldest brother Qian Hong was an honest man, and everything that happened later proved that this judgment was correct, but what he didn't expect was that the eldest brother was still an infatuated lover.

The last time it was in the monk's temple in Hangzhou's West Lake, now it has been changed to a Taoist temple...... I am not afraid that the Buddha or the Three Qingdao Dao Ancestors will send a thunderbolt to kill your little two.

As a family member, Qian Yuan thinks that his eldest brother is good, honest and honest, and he is infatuated with his sister-in-law, and he has not found a new woman at sea all these years.

But Qian Yuan also saw Qian Hong's weakness, this is a soft-hearted person, or can take charge of himself, but it is difficult to preside over the overall situation.

In Qian Yuan's future plan, Qian Hong needs to preside over the overall situation.

You must know that now Qian Hong is buried in Xu Hai's base camp, and Qian Yuan's communication with him is all based on his henchmen to send secret letters, and he doesn't dare to come out to meet him, after all, this is too dangerous, one bad is death, and if it is bad, it will affect his father.

And Qian Hong dared to go ashore rashly in order to see his wife and children...... Why did Qian Yuan decide to come to Huangyan County at this time, and he was sure that he could meet Qian Hong.

That's because before leaving Linhai County, he heard Xiao Qi say that his sister-in-law Huang would go to Huangyan County in late February to make incense at Taoist temples in the suburbs.

Qian Yuan can understand Qian Hong's difficulties, but it is also difficult to accept such absurdity...... Do you think this is a play house?!

The wind outside gradually became stronger, the blowing window kept banging, Qian Yuan sat at one end of the table with a sinking face, holding a cup of residual tea in his hand, the tea on the opposite side was still full, but it had gradually cooled down.

Although Qian Yuan was famous in the southeast as early as the 32nd year of Jiajing because of the great victory in Jiading, and then repeatedly won his name all over the world, but in fact he never had a head-on duel with the Japanese Invaders, Jiading and Chongde were defending the city, and there were only more than 100 Japanese Invaders outside the Huating City.

But from the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, when he personally killed dozens of Japanese in Taiping Mansion, to the two great victories in Jiaxing Mansion last year, Qian Yuan was like a sword that had been covered in dust for a long time, and finally faded away from those dumb and began to bloom with a sharp edge that people dare not look at directly.

The light rain has stopped, and there is a sound of dripping water under the eaves, two cups of tea that have been cooled, a face without a trace of expression, and a cold look in his eyes, which doubled the pressure on Qian Hong who entered the house.

Still immersed in the beautiful atmosphere of another brief reunion with his wife, and still remembering in his heart that his son stretched out his arms and called his father vaguely, Qian Hong was politely invited here by the guards.

"Today...... Today is the birthday of Baliang, second brother, didn't you say that the child's birthday must be there for the parents? Qian Hong was a little nervous, racking his brains to find some reasons from his sister's birthday a few years ago.

Qian Yuan didn't speak, his deliberately pursed lips were as thin as sharp blades, as well as his sideburns wet by the light rain, and the cold glint in his eyes, all of which revealed a sharp edge.

"Father knows." Qian Hong had an inexplicable fear in his heart, "It won't arouse the suspicion of others." ”

After a long silence, Qian Yuan spoke: "Xu Hai died in this battle, and the younger brother arranged for the eldest brother, sister-in-law and nephew to settle in Sichuan. ”

There was a hint of hope in Qian Hong's eyes, but then it dimmed, "Self-extinguishing the clan, what should I do with eight taels...... By no means, let alone a father. ”

"Your sister-in-law wants to follow me...... But no, wandering on the sea, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, the Japanese bandits, the maritime merchants, and those foreign devils......"

"You know you can't?" Qian Yuan stood up suddenly, pressed his hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward, gritted his teeth and said: "Being in the tiger's den and wolf's den, but coming for private affairs, once you lose, have you thought about the consequences?!" ”

"What about my father? What do you do? ”

"What about my sister-in-law?"

"Have you ever thought about Baliang and Mother?"

"I haven't revealed your existence and my father to anyone until now...... You think I'm in it for my own fame? ”

"I'm trying to find a safe way for you to settle down after the war, so that your mother, sister-in-law, and Baliang can see you and see you who are alive!"

Qian Yuan, whose face was pale, gushed out a series of words, but he adopted the most acceptable way for the other party...... At this time, it is too ruthless to mention the other party's adventures that may lead to the loss of the big war.

Qian Hong, who lowered his head, silently listened to his brother's complaints, until the latter saw big tears slipping down.

"Big brother, sister-in-law has been waiting for you for many years, and now you have eight taels." Qian Yuan lifted the hem of his shirt, squatted down and said, "Don't be in a hurry, survive, live to see them......"

"As a widow, when will we be able to recognize each other...... Do you recognize me as a father? ”

"Yes." Qian Yuan said softly: "Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, had a secret conversation with me in Linhai in the first month, intending to appease Wang Zhi and attack Xu Hai together, as long as you and your father do not appear on the battlefield in the next big battle......"

After a pause, Qian Yuancai continued: "Fight back, put yourself under Wang Zhi's command, if it goes well, at least you can appear in Zhoushan and Ningbo as a maritime businessman, and then I will arrange for my sister-in-law to move to Ningbo...... If it really doesn't work, let the sister-in-law remarry, as long as she doesn't touch the old man of Huating, it should be fine. ”

"Join forces with Wang Zhi? Join Wang Zhi's command? Qian Hong was surprised, "Yes, my father and Wang Zhi have always been in contact......

"My father doesn't need to intervene in this matter, Hu Ruzhen and Wang Zhi are fellow villagers and have always been in contact." Qian Yuan's squatting legs were sore, he straightened up and took the boiling kettle on the coal stove, added some hot water to Qian Hong's teacup, and asked in a low voice, "How is the second uncle?" ”

"My father didn't show up, I went to see it a few times." Qian Hong took a sip of hot water, "More than 200 brothers were all thrown down to repair the ship, missing three fingers, and now the islanders call him Tan Qizhi." ”

"No worries about your life, right?"

"Well, after the second uncle returned to the island, he first sent out all the calligraphy and painting books he snatched in his hand, and Wang Cuiqiao spoke for him." Qian Hong thought for a while, "Wang Cuiqiao is very trusted by Xu Hai, maybe that's why, the second uncle is still on the big island." ”

Xu Hai's base camp on the sea is naturally not on an island, in fact, it is more than a dozen islands in the nearby seas.

"Go back this time and find a chance to meet my second uncle." Qian Yuan whispered the Que Mulan word, "This Que word is only known to the second uncle and Wang Cuiqiao, which is enough to prove the identity." ”

"That's good." Qian Hong grinned, "I said a few words more than ten days ago...... The second uncle can't remember me at all. ”

Originally, Qian Yuan didn't plan to let his father and brother contact Tan Wei, firstly, because he was not at ease, and secondly, he was worried that their contact would attract attention.

But outside Tongxiang County, Tan Wei took the lead in escaping...... has proved that he deserves to be trusted, if it weren't for the misguided Wang Cuiqiao, I am afraid that he would have been buried in the sea by now.

The most important thing is that Qian Hong acted like this, and Qian Yuan had to regard Tan Wei as an important pawn in his future plans.

There are three people on the island, the father is old, and the eldest brother is reckless, Qian Yuan has to pin his hopes on Tan Wei.

"By the way, there is one more thing to go ashore this time." Qian Hong suddenly spoke: "My father sent me a lot of seeds of exotic flowers and fruits in the garden, and I was going to send them to that house, and then let the guards pass on the message." ”

"What's there?" Qian Yuan's spirits perked up.

"That's more, the kind of wheat you mentioned last time, my father named it Golden Stick."

Corn, Qian Yuan only ate corn on the cob in his previous life, but it is said that he can make porridge, by the way, corn is counted as coarse grain in later generations, and he should be able to eat a full stomach, and remember that the yield is quite high.

"And tomatoes, they don't look like eggplants, and I brought a lot of seeds this time." Qian Hong said a few things, but Qian Yuan had never heard of it, it should be spices or fruits from Southeast Asia, he had never been to Southeast Asia in his previous life.

Qian Yuan was a little disappointed, at least from the description, he didn't find such high-yield crops as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"By the way, I heard that my younger brother and sister are now called Thousand-Armed Guanyin in Taizhou?" Qian Hong smiled: "Little brother is so blessed." ”

"She learned some medical skills, and in the big war last year, several guards were injured and sent back to Linhai, but she didn't hold on, so she decided to gather a group of women......" Qian Yuan replied casually, and asked: "Do you know when Xu Hai will send troops?" ”

Qian Hong's expression was straight, and he shook his head and said: "Now Xu Hai has no less than six or seven thousand Japanese under his command, and a large number of young and strong people who have been coerced have been recruited, once at least six thousand troops are dispatched, plus those stragglers, the total number may exceed 10,000." ”

"Are you sure you won't attack Jiaxing again?"

"Probably not, Yu Dayou is stationed in Jiaxing Mansion." Qian Hong explained: "Xu Hai thinks very highly of himself, and among the generals in the southeast, he is the only one who is quite afraid of Yu Dayou. ”

Qian Yuan squinted his eyes and thought in his heart, if it wasn't Jiaxing, then it would be unlikely to attack Songjiang Mansion, after all, Jiaxing and Songjiang bordered, so the Ningshaotai area would become Xu Hai's target.
