Qi Ning put the pearl of the night into the brocade box, put it in the original place, covered the lid, and said with a smile: "The emperor has prepared for the Northern Expedition, but the most worrying thing at the moment is that the treasury is empty. ”

Wu Dalin also smiled: "Hou Ye is wise. Hou Ye not only found out the real culprit who murdered the governor of Tangtai this time, but also exposed the plot of the Donghai family to rebel, and now he can hand over such a huge amount of money to the court, Hou Ye's credit this time, I don't know how the court will reward him. He lowered his voice and said, "Presumably, it is not a problem to reward a duke." ”

"Reward?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "Do you think the imperial court will reward me as a duke?" ”

Wu Dalin said: "How much credit the Hou Ye has made this time, the court knows it, if even the duke can't reward it, then .....!" I feel that some words are still inconvenient to speak, but the meaning is already very clear.

Qi Ning lowered his voice and said, "Even if the imperial court gives me the title of duke, what can I do?" ”

"..... this?" Wu Dalin was stunned.

"It's just a little more Yulu, and it sounds better to say it." Qi Ning sighed lightly: "I still have to do what I should do, and no one will let me interfere with things that I can't control." There are not many benefits, but there are many disadvantages, and now naming me a duke will do more harm than good to me. ”

"Why did Master Hou say that?"

Qi Ning said in a low voice: "You said that if the imperial court named me a duke, will anyone be dissatisfied?" ”

"This .....!" Wu Dalin hesitated, he was cautious in his words and deeds, even if he was transferred to the Black Scale Camp and became Qi Ning's subordinate, he still had reservations when he spoke in front of Qi Ning, but today Qi Ning saved his life, he was extremely grateful in his heart, and he didn't hide it at this time, and said in a low voice: "The Duke of Zhenguo will definitely be dissatisfied, and even make a hindrance from it, stopping the emperor from rewarding the marquis." ”

"If I am made a duke, just like the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of Zhenguo will naturally be dissatisfied." Qi Ning said with a smile: "It's just that Zhen Guogong's dissatisfaction with me is not a day or two, I really don't care if he is dissatisfied with me." ”

"Then Master Hou is....?"

"Team Leader Wu, the old marquis of the Golden Knife is a hero of the country." Qi Ning said softly: "His old man has made outstanding achievements, fought in the south and the north, and made countless contributions to Da Chu, whether it is qualifications or prestige, it is far away from me, and now he is only a marquis, and if nothing else, he can only be a hereditary marquis in this life, what do you think if I am made a duke before his old man, what will he think?" ”

Wu Dalin suddenly realized, nodded and said: "What Hou Ye said is extremely true, even if the old Hou Ye of the Golden Knife has no ideas, the people around him will definitely be dissatisfied. And.....! After hesitating, he still said: "And once the marquis is made a duke, the people of the world are only afraid that they will laugh at the old marquis of the golden knife in their hearts." ”

Qi Ning patted Wu Dalin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's good if you understand, maybe in order to sow discord, the Duke of Zhenguo will take the initiative to ask the emperor to confer the title of Duke of me, and when the will comes, will I accept it or not?" ”

"But..... Hou Ye's contribution, will the court forget it? Wu Dalin said softly: "The Hou Ye has relieved the danger of the East China Sea, and found the real culprit who murdered the Grand Governor, if the court does not have a reward, I am afraid that it will be criticized even more." ”

Qi Ning smiled and said, "I have my own opinions. Glancing at the dense boxes in the warehouse, he frowned and said, "Team Leader Wu, did you say that Jiang Mantian's purpose in storing weapons here was to prepare for rebellion?" ”

Wu Dalin was stunned, he didn't understand why Qi Ning had this question, and nodded: "Master Hou, the last general thinks that it is naturally used to rebel, otherwise why would he secretly cast so many weapons?" ”

Qi Ning thought for a moment before he smiled: "What you said is true." He instructed: "Everything is according to the prior arrangement, all the things in the warehouse are loaded onto the ship, and the people on the island are also transported back. ”

"Master Hou, Jiang Yishui is short of supplies and can't go directly to Nanyang, so he will definitely return." Wu Dalin said in a low voice: "It's just that whether they will come to Iron Island or Haifeng Island, that is not yet known." And..... Will Jiang Yishui find out that the situation is wrong and not land on the island? ”

"Jiang Yishui's fleet is now only thinking about avoiding the fleet pursued by General Xin, and he thinks that everything is in Jiang Mantian's calculations." Qi Ning smiled faintly: "And at sea, the fleet is always moving, there is no fixed position, even if the Jiang family has carrier pigeons to contact, but this is a moving target, carrier pigeons are also unable to transmit information, so Jiang Yishui will never know that the two islands have fallen, as long as we cover it up well, he will naturally not see the flaws, and when the time comes, he will just wait for him to throw himself into the net." ”

The two came out of the warehouse, Wu Dalin ordered to bring all the people caught on the island to the warship, and then ordered the goods in the warehouse to be moved onto the ship, although hundreds of officers and soldiers were dispatched on this trip, but there were really a lot of goods in the warehouse, and at dusk, the materials in the warehouse were all moved.

Wu Dalin arranged for the ambush troops to stay on the island in accordance with the prior deployment, and waited until the sun set before the fleet set off from Tiedao and headed for Haifeng Island.

In the middle of the night, I finally arrived at Haifeng Island, at this time Haifeng Island has also been completely controlled by the officers and soldiers, and the group of people who were controlled by the ghost king to guard the supplies on the island when the officers and soldiers attacked the island, most of them had already surrendered obediently, and everyone was also driven to the beach to guard it.

The warehouses on Haifeng Island were also found by the officers and soldiers according to the map, in addition to the warehouse that Qi Ning had seen when he and Qin Yuege landed on the island before, there were two other warehouses on Haifeng Island, just like the iron island, not only storing a large number of weapons, but also a huge number of gold and silver treasures stored on the island.

This time, Mo Yanbai's bandits and officers and soldiers joined forces to act together, the bandits' side was led by Gu Haiqing, the second leader, and the officers and soldiers were led by Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo.

Gu Haiqing is not only the second leader of the black tiger shark Mo Yanbai, but also Mo Yanbai's confidant brother, Mo Yanbai has long had the heart to surrender, Gu Haiqing naturally knew about this matter for a long time, and this time he also led his bandits to perform their best, and Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo knew that this battle was about the future, and they did their best, these two people were not wine bags and rice bags, according to Qi Ning's deployment action, they also took Haifeng Island in one fell swoop.

After Qi Ning returned from Iron Island in the middle of the night, Zhu Shuo and several people were waiting, and when they saw Qi Ning, they hurriedly greeted them, and explained the situation on the island, Qi Ning saw that hundreds of people on the beach were guarded by officers and soldiers, and went around, but there was no trace of Lu Shanghe, let alone Qi Yu's figure, and he frowned and asked: "Have you searched carefully on the island?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, all the passages have been carefully searched, and there is nothing missing." Tang Hui arched his hand and said: "All the people hiding in it have been searched, and in a stone room, an old blind man who was imprisoned was also found, and asked who he was, but he did not explain, I don't know if he was dumb, he had injuries on his body, and the humble general asked people to treat his wounds, and he is currently guarded alone." ”

Qi Ning knew that the old blind man he was talking about must be the King of the Dusk.

The King of Dusk was originally a first-class master, but now he has fallen to this, which is also embarrassing.

There were no Lu Shanghe and Qi Yu among the captives, and Qi Ning knew that these two people had probably escaped, and Qi Ning had already planned for the worst when he attacked Haifeng Island.

Although he has a map in his hand, the terrain of Haifeng Island is complicated, and Lu Shanghe is very familiar with the underground passage, when attacking, it is impossible to be silent, Lu Shanghe is a cunning person, once he finds that the situation is wrong, it is natural to escape from the chaos.

As for the ghost king, Qi Ning never saw it, although he didn't know the true face of the ghost king, but the ghost king's body was short and the dwarf was general, and it was easy to identify, but among the captives, there was no dwarf, and the ghost king was naturally not among them.

In addition to the captives, there were many corpses neatly placed not far away.

Taking Haifeng Island is different from Iron Island, Iron Island can be said to be bloodless, but Haifeng Island still went through a fight, although the battle was not fierce, but there were still many people killed.

Qi Ning went over to check the corpse, but did not find Lu Shanghe and others, he didn't have much hope, Lu Shanghe and others were good at martial arts, naturally it was impossible to die easily in the hands of a group of officers and soldiers and bandits, he raised his head and looked at the sea under the night, the sea was vast, if Lu Shanghe and the others fled from Haifeng Island, it was really difficult to find their whereabouts.

It's just that Lu Shanghe is like a lost dog, and it is not easy to accommodate himself in the East China Sea, and now that this nest has also fallen, it is not easy to make waves.

Qi Ning instructed Tang Hui to take people to carry all the materials onto the ship first, ask where the King of Dusk Ye was, and go straight over.

The King of Twilight was behind a rock at this time, two soldiers guarded, saw Qi Ning coming, the two soldiers hurriedly saluted, Qi Ning waved his hand to signal the two to retreat first, and then walked in front of the King of Twilight, King Twilight sat on the ground, his back against the rock, looked extremely sloppy, unkempt, although he lost all his internal strength, but the reaction was not slow, he felt the movement, and suddenly his body moved, Qi Ning squatted down in front of King Dusk, looked at King Dusk's eyes, saw that his eyes were cloudy, knew that he was indeed blind, and sighed lightly.

The King of Twilight immediately faced Qi Ning, and Qi Ning said softly, "Do you remember me?" ”

King Dusk's body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "Yes.... It's you? Little brother, you .....! Realizing something, his voice became cold: "You..... Who are you? ”

He had already heard Qi Ning's voice was the person who was imprisoned in the underground prison that day, and today's officers and soldiers attacked Haifeng Island, although he couldn't see it, he could hear it, and he already understood what was going on in his heart, and he was a little surprised when he heard Qi Ning's voice at first glance, but he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"I promised Senior Twilight that I would help you get out if I had the chance, and now it seems that I haven't missed the appointment." Qi Ning said: "It's just that the jade prince has disappeared without a trace, presumably when the officers and soldiers came up, he saw that the situation was not right, and he escaped in a hurry, and even the senior of Twilight couldn't care about it." ”

"That brute .....!" The Dusk King's tone was full of hatred, and he clenched his fists and said, "Who are you?" You..... How are you going to deal with the old man? ”
