There was no sacrifice, no publicity, no send-off, and the next morning, when all the supplies were ready, Xiao Yao led the three warships of the infantry battalion to leave the dock in a low-key manner and set off for the East China Sea.

It's May again, and it's on the Yangtze River again, Xiao Yao is standing on the bow of the boat again, facing the rising sun, overlooking the sea line and skyline, and his heart is still infinitely emotional.

It's been another year, and I came to Chen in May last year, and now I'm already a captain leading an infantry battalion, what about next year? Will he become a general, and will things go as planned?

"Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky!" Xiao Yao casually recited the poem again.

"Commander, it's wrong, it's the morning glow, not the sunset! And it's only May, so it's not autumn yet! Huang Wenyuan on the side said in a big way.

"Don't I think of the evening last fall? What is the matter, dare to leave your post without permission! Believe it or not, I will punish you for going down to the river to catch fish! Xiao Yao said a little annoyed.

In the past three months, as he got to know Xiao Yao more and more, Huang Wenyuan found that this boss, who was two years younger than himself, although he was strict, trained perverted, and even spoke unkindly, his personality was very easy-going.

Moreover, Huang Wenyuan also insisted that he was good friends with Xu Miao, who had only met twice, and often chatted with Xiao Yao in his spare time, telling him about the various rights and wrongs of the disciples of the Jinling family, which made Xiao Yao also begin to have a good impression of this second generation of officials.

"Hehe, I'm not monitoring the situation around me at my post, and I suddenly remembered the commander's artifact called a telescope, if this thing helps, my work will be done better! They all have this artifact, Company Commander He and Company Commander Li, but they are the kind of people who don't smile, and they definitely won't borrow it, so I came to the commander, hehe! Huang Wenyuan laughed lewdly.

"Hmph, I'm pretty smart, and I'm pretty good at reading people! Take it, I don't need it right now, anyway! Xiao Yao handed him the binoculars, made him full of thanks and cheers, and immediately ran to show off with his brothers from the infantry battalion.

This made Zhang Dabao on the side look both contemptuous and envious, despising his shameless sycophant, envious that Xiao Yao really played with this kind of artifact called a telescope for him, he had also seen Li Nong use a telescope, but he had not touched it with his own hands.

The battleship of the infantry battalion was full of joy, and there was no pre-war tension at all, because the people on the battleship, except for Xiao Yao, thought that they were just going to the East China Sea for exercises.

And Zu Yuan also rushed to Wuxing County the day after Xiao Yao and their departure, came to the Taishou Mansion, and looked at Xu Jingcheng with an embarrassed face.

"Boss Zu, what kind of wind blew you over, haha, come in and have a good cup of tea!" Xu Jingcheng knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to snub Zu Yuan.

"Lord Xu knows why I came to Wuxing, didn't you say that the smashing of the General Commercial Bank was a commercial dispute, and it was best to mediate privately, so I came here in person!" Zu Yuan said coldly.

"How can this kind of trivial matter be bothered to be handled by Boss Zu personally, just send someone to come, as long as Boss Zu is willing to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things, this official will definitely mediate and handle it fairly!" Xu Jingcheng also spoke official words.

"This is no small matter! Because of this, His Royal Highness King Xing also scolded me, saying that I was not doing things well! And it just so happens that Shiro is going to the East China Sea to train recently, I think that your Wuxing County has not been very peaceful recently, and I am afraid that there will be any accidents, so I will come and see it in person! By the way, this matter was solved! Zu Yuan still said coldly.

Xu Jingcheng heard that he was really coming for Xiao Yao, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, he had received Wu Mingche's letter, knowing that Xiao Yao was going to come to the East China Sea to train troops, he was startled on the spot, in this sensitive time, he led the troops over, saying that he came to the East China Sea to train troops, and only Wu Mingche, who was only focused on preparing for the Northern Expedition and did not care about the politics of the court, would believe it!

Moreover, as Wu Xing's Taishou, he also knew that Yinhai Commercial Bank had recently sent a lot of guards to Haiyan County, and even received a secret letter warning from the prince, saying that no matter what happened in Haiyan County, he could not interfere, so as not to stir up this troubled water.

"This, I don't know when Captain Xiao will set off, where is he going to train in the East China Sea? When the time comes, let the official fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Xu Jingcheng asked a little nervously.

"I heard from the workers on the dock that they had already set off yesterday, and as for where to practice, these are military secrets, how can I, a businessman, know! However, Shiro once said that this training is a secret weapon for drills, and it can't be seen by outsiders, and those who leak it will all be sunk. Zu Yuan revealed the news intentionally or unintentionally.

"Already set off yesterday? This, isn't it possible to go to Haiyan County tomorrow? Xu Jingcheng was a little panicked.

"How did Lord Xu know that Shiro was going to Haiyan County? That's a coincidence, I know that the group of people who had a conflict with our general trading bank this time are in Haiyan County, and I am here to go there to settle this matter with them! Lord Xu, as the parent official of Wuxing County, of course you have to accompany me to Haiyan County to solve this matter! Haha, if we can really meet Shiro at that time, then we must have a drink! Ha ha! Zu Yuan laughed.

Xu Jingcheng, who was full of worry, immediately dispatched troops and prepared to go to Haiyan County with Zu Yuan: neither the prince nor King Xing can be offended, if they fight, no matter who wins or loses, he will definitely not be able to get out of it as Wu Xing's Taishou! I hope I can get to Haiyan County in time! Hopefully they haven't fought yet!

。。。。。。

"Steward Feng doesn't have to be so nervous! Even if they dare to come! Our Salt Gang also has a thousand gangs, plus the 800 guards you brought over this time, as well as the county soldiers of Haiyan County, there are more than 2,000 people, and you are still afraid of his 1,000 infantry? Ha ha! Li Chujiu, the leader of the Salt Gang, laughed.

"Gang Leader Li can't be taken lightly, it is said that this Xiao Shilang is like a god with soldiers, the Julong Gang entrenched in Poyang Lake last year was easily defeated by the three of their masters and apprentices, and this time they are menacing, let's be careful!" Steward Feng is Zhang Dai's confidant, and he personally brought people to support, which shows that Zhang Dai attaches great importance to the Salt Gang!

"The rabble of the Julong Gang can only rob houses on those small puddles, how can they be compared to us Salt Gang who have seen strong winds and waves on the sea!" Li Chujiu despised these water thieves in the inner rivers and lakes.

"Gang Leader Li still has to pay attention to it, and this is Boss Zhang's order! We have already heard that Xiao Shilang has set off yesterday and will be able to come to Haiyan County tomorrow! "Steward Feng can only move out of Zhang Dai to live in this boss.

"A yellow-haired boy, I'm afraid he has lost his way in the vast sea! Okay, okay, I can't listen to you Feng in charge? I will arrange manpower to strengthen the vigilance, arrange a few more large ships to defend the estuary on the other side of the coast, and then mobilize all the salt households in Haiyan County to enclose the county seat into an impregnable fortress! Whether he came from sea or land, he never came back! Li Chujiu said disapprehantly.
