Chapter 141: Kneeling and begging for mercy
Unlike autumn in the interior, Sanssouci Island is drizzling with a drizzle at the moment, and the damp and cold air in the air is getting heavier and heavier, penetrating into everyone's body everywhere.
Wen Xuan, Mu Chong, Sheng Wenyu, and Li Tieniu were wearing robes on the shallows of Sanssouci Island.
"What the hell!" Iron Bull muttered dissatisfiedly, he grew up in the mountains, and such a cold and humid climate made him feel uncomfortable all the time, and a lot of manic depression was born in his heart.
Wen Xuan smiled and reassured: "Brother Li, bear with it for a few more days, and when Su Sheng finishes the last thing, we will set off for the mountain." ”
"Back to the mountain?" The other three were a little surprised.
"Why so suddenly? Hasn't Wenzhou Wang Fuzhi been caught yet? We haven't seen the situation in Fuzhou yet. Iron Bull asked without thinking.
Wen Xuan explained: "I have sent someone to investigate in Fuzhou, and the branch altar of the Ming Sect there has long been a void, and even the altar owner has disappeared. ”
Tie Niu raised his eyebrows, "Then shouldn't we go over and rebuild the branch altar there?" ”
Wen Xuan said bitterly: "Even if you spend manpower and material resources to rebuild it, how will it help the situation in eastern Zhejiang? ”
Tie Niu said in a sullen voice: "The location of each altar is personally planned and designed by several sect masters, maybe there is any unusual effect, since we have been ordered to go down the mountain to rectify the Qinglong Hall, then we should do our best!" ”
Wen Xuan didn't know how to explain for a while, although Tie Niu's loyalty to the Ming Sect was commendable, it carried a hint of foolish loyalty.
If he told him that there was a problem with the design and planning of the various altars in the Blue Dragon Hall, then he would definitely think that he was disrespectful to the sect leader, and everyone would break up unhappily.
Not to mention telling him the real plan in his heart, at that time, he is afraid that he will directly treat himself as an apostate, draw a line with himself, and even take action against himself according to Xu Nong's instructions.
Wen Xuan thought for a while, so he had to take out the Holy Flame Order and said in a deep voice: "I have my own plan for the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you can just listen to the order." ”
Tie Niu only shut his mouth stupidly when he saw the Holy Flame Order, and stopped arguing with Wen Xuan.
"What about Wang Fuzhi? He can't guarantee that he won't be right and wrong again. Sheng Wenyu asked.
Wen Xuan replied lightly: "Wait for Su Sheng's news, and then make a decision." After that, he pretended to be weak and coughed a few times.
Seeing this, Sheng Wenyu wanted to speak and stopped, swallowed all the doubts in his stomach, and looked at the sea again.
Whether Fang Guozhen really thinks that Wen Xuan said that he has the ability to lead troops on the island is what he is more interested in now.
Mu Chong knew all the hidden secrets, glanced at Wen Xuan worriedly, and persuaded: "Your injury is just not long, why don't you go back and wait, it's okay to have us here." ”
"No problem." Wen Xuan shook his head and insisted on waiting here, although he showed great trust in Fang Guozhen to the outside world, but in fact, he was also a little worried in his heart.
The island was already running out of food, and the Yuan court had already issued an order to prepare to send people to attack, so it was unrealistic to expect Shen Fu to send people to deliver food at such a time.
If Fang Guozhen failed to rob the grain escorted by the official ship back today, I am afraid that there will be a big chaos on the island, how can he rest assured at such a moment?
The people stood in the light rain for another half hour, until the sound of the rain had ceased, the sky had cleared, and ships had finally appeared on the sea as far as the eye could see.
"It's back!" Sheng Wenyu pointed to the sea and exclaimed.
Wen Xuan and the others looked intently, only to see brisk small boats clustering around more than ten large boats slowly coming to the shore.
"It's an official ship!" Sheng Wenyu has always paid attention to Fang Guozhen's preparations for entering the sea to rob grain this time, and knew that he did not leave the island with a big ship, so he immediately saw that those big ships were the official ships of the Yuan Court.
In a short time, the ships docked one by one.
Fang Guozhen, who had a smile on his face, jumped off the board, walked quickly to Wen Xuan and bowed, and said excitedly: "Fang Mou lived up to his high expectations and brought back these official ships and the soldiers on board!" ”
Sheng Wenyu said incredulously: "What did you say? The soldiers have all been brought back? What about the thousands of households in the sea and the virtues of the real world? ”
Fang Guozhen smiled slightly, waved his hand behind him, and Fang Guomin, the old five of the Fang family, immediately brought Deliu Yushi, who was tied into a zongzi, over.
Fang Guozhen grabbed him by the neck and kicked him behind his knee, forcing Deliu Yushi to kneel down before taking out the dirty cloth that was stuffed in his mouth.
Deliu Yushi retched after spitting out the cloth, spitting out again and again, and the filthy cloth along the way was almost smoking, not to mention the bitter taste on his tongue.
Sheng Wenyu walked quickly to the shore and looked around, then walked back and patted Fang Guozhen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you Fang Guozhen, this is to tie up all these thieves back?" ”
Fang Guozhen smiled, "These guys are very stupid, I have already surrounded them, and they are still bargaining with me, wanting to spend money to buy a road." ”
"In any case, Sheng admires you for such a method, I will personally toast you two glasses at the celebration banquet tonight, and make amends to you!"
Sheng Wenyu knew how troublesome it was to dispatch ships uniformly at sea, and Fang Guozhen was able to rob the Yuan Court without bloodshed, and he did have some ability.
Fang Guozhen also said politely: "The way to lead the troops, I still need to ask Brother Sheng for advice." ”
"The ship is full of food?" Wen Xuan asked the question he was most concerned about.
Fang Guozhen pointed to Deliu Yushi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "There are still a lot of goods that he has transported privately. ”
Wen Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Deliu Yushi and said, "How long have you been an official of Haidao Qianhu?" ”
Deliu Yushi looked at the ill-intentioned people, for fear of being tortured and tortured, and immediately replied truthfully: "It's been five years. ”
"What a soft bone!" Tie Niu scolded, he despised those who succumbed to force the most.
Fang Guozhen said with a smile: "Although this guy has soft bones, he has the ability to make money by sitting on the ground, and he may be able to do something great in the next life when he is reincarnated in a businessman's family." ”
"Don't ...... Don't kill me! When Deliu Yushi heard this, he was so frightened that he kowtowed to everyone and bowed down to everyone, begging for mercy.
"Oh? And what's going on? Wen Xuan became interested because of this, and asked Fang Guozhen in detail about the process of capturing him.
Fang Guozhen then told him about the fact that he was virtuous and truthful, bargaining with him, and calculating the gains and losses of profits.
Wen Xuan's face was full of joy after hearing this, he squatted in front of Deliu Yushi, stared at him and said, "Do you want to live?" ”
"Yes! As long as you let me go, even if it's a cow or a horse, I'll be fine! After Grabbing the life-saving straw, Deliu Yushi begged for mercy regardless of his face.
