Chapter 37: Conspiracy (3)
When the loyal housekeeper and eunuch heard this, he pondered in his heart and immediately said resolutely: "There are strong men, but when today's son is indeed Taizu, it is not from unknown origin. Shi Xiangye is also a highly respected person, not a villain. Do not listen to these slanderous rumors, lest you invite death. Please go back. ”
Pan Bing was still unwilling and was about to speak, but the housekeeper and eunuch interrupted solemnly: "Strong men, if you don't give up, then don't blame my prince for being ruthless." It's better to do it yourself! ”
Pan Bing saw that the eunuch had already said no words, and reluctantly turned around and went back to his life. The housekeeper and eunuch returned to the team and called on the soldiers to be on guard and form an attack state to protect Zhao Hong's safety.
That miscellaneous army, wait for Pan Bing to go back, and then look at Zhao Hong, although there are few people, they are all elite soldiers, and it is not easy to use it now. I had no choice but to retreat.
The housekeeper and eunuch reported to Zhao Hong what he had just experienced, and Zhao Hong asked when he heard it: "Why don't you leave these strong men behind in case I make a comeback?" ”
The housekeeper and eunuch replied helplessly: "Lord Wang, it's not like the old slave left these strong men behind, but we are still not on a firm foothold." Leaving these strong men behind will definitely lead to death. Besides, who dares to guarantee that these people are not sent by Shi Miyuan and Banzai today to force rebellion against the prince? These can only be ascertained after the prince has a firm foothold here. Please take a clear look. ”
Zhao Hong reflected: "Sure enough, Mr. Lin is worthy of being a loyal person in my family, and Zhao Hong is here to thank you." ”
The housekeeper and eunuch hurriedly replied: "The prince has killed the old slave, as long as the prince is safe." The old prince is in the spirit of the sky, and he can also be gratified. ”
Without saying anything all the way, Zhao Hong and the others came to their destination Jizhou City.
Jia Yiren, the head of Jizhou City, did not come to receive the lost prince at all, and was holding Aunt Jiu at home and drinking flower wine too happily.
At this time, a man dressed in tatters came to the Zhizhou Mansion and took out the golden waist plate on his body. The guards of the prefectural government hurriedly released him and reported it.
As soon as Jia Zhizhou saw someone coming, he hurriedly pushed away Aunt Jiu and ordered his subordinates: "Come quickly!" Replace the banquet. ”
The visitor nodded and sat down on the stool, and Jia Zhizhou immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Junior minister Jia Yiren greets the envoy." ”
The person waved his hand and said arrogantly, "Excuse me." ”
Jia Zhizhou got up and said with a flattering smile: "I don't know if the envoy is coming, what are you doing?" ”
"The Prime Minister ordered me to come to Jia Zhizhou, and there is a great merit. I wonder if Jia Zhizhou can do it? The man picked up the flask on the table and poured himself a glass of wine. Said the self-pouring.
When Jia Zhizhou heard that there was merit, he was very excited. Or cautiously asked: "I don't know what the credit is, can the envoy speak directly?" ”
The visitor looked left and right with a smile, put the wine glass down, and stopped talking. I just picked up my chopsticks and ate two bites of the wine and food on the table.
Jia Zhizhou immediately understood, and instructed his ninth aunt too softly: "Baby, you go down first, I have something to discuss with the envoy." "Aunt Nine was too coquettish and reluctantly went down. Jia Zhizhou said respectfully to the person who came: "Your Excellency, there is no one on the left and right now, can you say it?" ”
The person who came nodded and said in a low voice: "Lord Jia, this time the Prime Minister ordered me to wait here for Zhao Hong, the king of Luling, to come." The person who came paused and drank another glass of wine, Jia Zhizhou interjected: "Is it going to ~" and then Jia Zhizhou made a move.
The man shook his head: "If you kill him, will you have to wait until now?" This time, the main thing is to force him to rebel, and by the way, report that his nephew was killed* and kill all the officials who avenged Zhao Hong. At this point, the man smiled sinisterly.
After Jia Zhizhou heard it, he felt that his whole body was cold and swishing. Gang hurriedly said: "I don't know what the envoy is going to do, and the lower official is obliged to repay the prime minister's kindness." ”
The person who came stood up and said, "I will send someone later, as long as Lord Zhizhou can send troops." Don't worry about anything else. I have to say goodbye in advance. ”
Jia Zhizhou hurriedly sent someone over, returned to the house and quietly felt that the yin wind was blowing, and he shrank his neck and ran to find his ninth aunt.
The man in the treasure pawnshop was dozing all day long, and saw a man dressed in tatters come to the pawnshop. Just as he was about to drive away, he saw this man take out a golden Buddha pendant and ask, "Man, go to your boss and ask him if he is a golden Buddha?" ”
The guy was about to open this pawn ticket by himself, and when he heard the word Golden Buddha, he immediately turned around and ran to the back hall to find the boss Pu Shiren and said: "Boss, you have instructed me to pay attention to the person who is the Golden Buddha, and there is another one." ”
Pu Shiren immediately asked the invitees to meet in the inner hall.
On the desert island, Rational was admiring the first three-masted battleship that had just been launched, only to see the three towering black masts of the battleship, the canvas neatly rolled up on it, and the specially trained sailors climbed up and down on it. The two rows of black hanging windows of the battleship are open, and the newly cast special copper cannon muzzles are black and pressed out of the window, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Instead of a bells and whistles fence was built in the stern, it became six gun ports up and down, and the bow did not have the flat head of a typical Chinese fortune ship, but a cone that was easier to split the wind and waves. The long jib under the mast, sticking out of the bow of the ship and heading straight ahead, like a knight holding a war spear to meet the unknown challenge.
The whole battleship was black and red because of the earthy paint, and everyone on the simple dock was shocked to see the huge monster in the sea that they had never seen before.
Chen Lin and Zhang Yue saw the formed battleship and were very happy that they had wisely defected to the island owner. Li Hai and his sister Li Yuan watched the mighty warship with a natural expression. The disciples of Rational Heart were full of admiration for the fact that Master was able to build such a battleship. The younger brothers who stayed on the island thought, 'The eldest brother is so powerful, so isn't our boss even more powerful?' ’
After seeing the battleship, the aborigines of the desert island and the craftsmen who moved from it combined with the magic of the two brothers. In his heart, he no longer regarded the two brothers as the apprentices of the immortals, but directly raised the two brothers to two immortals.
Li Xin just admired it for a long time, and after looking at everyone's surprised and exaggerated expressions and laughing, he shouted loudly with a paper megaphone: "Today, this is our first battleship launched. In the future, we will have a second, a third, and a bigger ship that may be launched. So don't be surprised, we need to work harder to build our homes. ”
Only then did everyone wake up and return to their jobs.
