Lu Shanghe saw Jiang Mantian's calm demeanor and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang said this, I am also relieved." The hidden lord takes the East China Sea very seriously, and he also has high hopes for Mr. Jiang, and only hopes that Mr. Jiang will not disappoint the hidden master. ”

"The merchant fleet went all the way south, drawing the attention of the sailors, and no matter how cunning Qi Ning was, he couldn't have imagined that we were under the noses of the sailors." Jiang Mantian calmed down: "We will wait here, as long as he thinks that someone in my Jiang is fleeing in a hurry, after stabilizing the East China Sea, he will never stay in the East China Sea forever." After the Northern Expedition of the Chu Army, no one will pay attention to the East China Sea anymore, and at that time, we can follow the second set of plans. ”

The ghost king smiled and said, "Now that I think about it, Mr. Jiang really has great wisdom, and he made two sets of plans just in case. If Shen Liangqiu's chess piece is safe, we can naturally implement the first set of plans smoothly, but now that the situation has changed, this second set of plans will come in handy after all. He looked at Jiang Mantian and said, "If Mr. Jiang had an alternative plan, we don't know what to do right now." ”

At this moment, but I heard footsteps behind him, the ghost king turned around, and there was a figure standing not far away, the ghost king walked over, whispered a few words, after the person retreated, the ghost king had already walked over, and said with a strange smile: "Mr. Jiang, everything is as you expected, the East China Sea division has gone to sea, they sent more than a dozen warships, prepared a large number of supplies on the ship, all the way south, that is really to chase the merchant fleet." ”

Lu Shanghe clapped his hands and smiled: "It seems that they really think that Mr. Jiang has fled to the South Seas, and this trick of the golden cicada is really clever and tight." ”

"I've already investigated the route of the East China Sea Division to the south." Jiang Mantian said: "The farthest they can reach the area of Chongma Reef, they know the situation north of Chongma Reef very well, but once they pass Chongma Reef, they are far less familiar with the situation at sea than my fleet." As long as Yi Shui passed the Chongma Reef, the sailor would never look for them again. ”

Lu Shanghe said with a smile: "Everything is under control, it's just ridiculous that Qi Ning's kid is still thinking that he has a plan." Thinking of something, he asked: "Mr. Jiang, Ling Lang is in the capital, something happened to Mr. here, and Ling Lang is ...... there!" ”

"I have already sent a letter to pass the book, and I will leave the capital immediately after getting the news with the cloud." Jiang Mantian said calmly.

Lu Shanghe nodded, and then sighed: "It's just that Mr. Jiang still has a lot of clansmen who can't withdraw in time, and Qi Ning and they may ...... them!" At this point, he didn't go on.

"If you want to achieve great things, you must always be prepared to sacrifice." Jiang Mantian's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Everything they committed to the East China Sea, he will repay ten times more in the future." ”

"Mr. Jiang is really a person who does great things." Lu Shanghe gave a thumbs up and said: "The strong man has a broken wrist and a big heart. Mr. Jiang can rest assured that the days of collecting blood debts from them will not be too long. ”

The sunset had already sunk into the horizon, Jiang Mantian looked in the direction of Gulin City from afar, and muttered: "Yes, it won't be too long!" ”

When Jiang Mantian looked at the horizon, Qi Ning was in the tent of the East China Sea Division's camp.

After he discussed the plan with Xin Ci, Xin Ci personally led twelve warships south to pursue the Jiang family's fleet, while Qi Ning stayed behind to sit in the naval camp.

The shuai camp is quite spacious, and there are often naval military meetings here, and there are not a few generals, so the shuai camp has always been very spacious, and because of this, Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

Among the handsome tents of Nuoda, except for Qi Ning, only the two of them stood in front of Qi Ning, and it would always be uncomfortable to be looked at by Qi Ning's sharp eyes.

Originally, the naval warship went to sea to chase the Jiang family's fleet, and Zhu Shuo and Tang Hui also had to sail with the fleet, but when they were about to board the ship, they were left behind by Xin Ci, and then Qi Ning's order came, asking the two to wait, and there was something to discuss.

After the two waited for the fleet to leave, they waited outside the camp and knew that the sun was setting, and they were passed into the big tent by Qi Ning.

An ominous premonition rose in both of their hearts, Shen Liangqiu plotted to kill Yutai Zhilin, this is already a recognized fact, the deputy general of the water division has been separated and has been condemned as a traitor.

For the two of them, Shen Liangqiu's killing is already a trivial matter, and the most important thing is that both of them were picked up by Shen Liangqiu.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, everyone understands this truth, after the death of Shentai Zhilin, both of them thought that Shen Liangqiu was likely to sit on the throne of the Metropolitan Governor, as long as Shen Liangqiu became the Metropolitan Governor, as Shen Liangqiu's confidants, the two of them naturally rose step by step, but this excitement has not passed, what happened today is like five thunderbolts, which makes the two of them tremble.

"Shen Liangqiu plotted to kill the Metropolitan Governor, and today he was ambushed, what do you two think about this matter?" Qi Ning asked straight to the point.

The two glanced at each other, cold sweat was already breaking out on their foreheads, and Zhu Shuo reluctantly arched his hand and said, "Go back to Hou Ye, Shen ..... Shen Liangqiu was ungrateful, murdered the governor, and his sin was unforgivable, so he ..... Kill him like that, and fall ..... It's kind of cheaper for him. ”

"Oh?" A smile appeared on Qi Ning's lips: "Tang Hui, do you think the same way?" ”

Tang Hui immediately said: "Master Hou, the majority of the governors are loyal to the imperial court, and they treat the officers and soldiers under him like brothers, especially.... Especially for Shen Liangqiu, the Metropolitan Governor has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and trusts him, but this person actually attacked the Metropolitan Governor, such a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted person, it is really ..... It's really a thousand cuts! ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "As far as I know, both of you are Shen Liangqiu with one hand, without Shen Liangqiu, there would be no you today, do you also have the suspicion of being ungrateful?" ”

Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo's hearts sank even more.

"Master Hou, although the two of us were promoted by Shen Liangqiu, without the consent and respect of the Grand Governor, we would not be able to have today." Tang Hui said boldly: "And the East China Sea Master is loyal to the imperial court, both of us are the emperor's people, only loyal to the emperor, Shen Liangqiu plotted to kill the governor of the capital, that is, a rebel thief, even if he is kind to us, we will never forget our identity because of this." ”

Qi Ning bowed his head and said, "Tang Hui, you can remember this, Ben Hou is very pleased." When the truth was revealed at sea, you did not follow Shen Liangqiu, which shows that you do know right and wrong, and Ben Hou is also very pleased with this. ”

When the two heard this, they were slightly relieved.

"But you also know that the East China Sea Master is the imperial court's reliance to guard the south, and there must be no mistakes." Qi Ning Zhengse said: "Shen Liangqiu is a rebel thief, and the two of you are indeed promoted by him, if you are still allowed to stay in the water master, I am afraid that many brothers in the water master will not be convinced, do you understand what Ben Hou means?" ”

Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo glanced at each other, and their originally relieved hearts were pinched here, Tang Hui thought for a while, and arched his hand: "If the Hou Ye thinks that we should not continue to stay in the Shui Shi, the humble general is willing to return to his hometown immediately." ”

"Master Hou, the humble general..... The generals are also willing to return home. ”

Qi Ning waved his hand and said, "You misunderstood what I meant. Let me ask you, the last time I caught a shark and a black tiger shark on that isolated island, do you know that it was just a trap directed and acted by Shen Liangqiu? You didn't kill the Black Tiger Shark. ”

Both of them were shocked and discolored, and Tang Hui had already said: "Master Hou, that.... How is that possible, Shen ..... Shen Liangqiu said that it was the Black Tiger Shark, and before the action, he also said to the two of us that whoever can kill the Black Tiger Shark will repay the ..... to the imperial court for whom! ”

Qi Ning looked at the expressions of the two and knew that these two people should not have known in advance.

Shen Liangqiu is ruthless, these tricks are naturally known to the fewer people the better, if these two people know Shen Liangqiu's secret plan, Shen Liangqiu will wait if he has a handle in the hands of these two people, with Shen Liangqiu's mental skills, naturally he will not tell these two people the truth.

"The two of you can be promoted, it's not that you don't have real talent." Qi Ning's tone was slight: "When the imperial court is employing people, the navy also needs talents like you, and it would be a pity if you return to your hometown." He sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you, when I was discussing with General Xin before, General Xin was still worried about some people in the navy.....!" ”

The two looked at each other, but neither dared to say a word.

"If Ben Hou gives you a chance to stay in the navy, I don't know if you two are willing?" Qi Ning asked, glancing at the two.

Both of them knew in their hearts that once they returned to their hometowns, they would wait for the future to be ruined, and from then on, there would be no chance to turn over, but in order to save their lives, they could only choose to return to their hometowns. ”

"General Xin and many others have opinions about you, and there is only one way to change this opinion." Qi Ning said: "What soldiers value is military merit, as long as you can make military merits, whether it is General Xin or others, their views on you two will change." Ben Hou Xicai, I know that you two are not incompetent, and if I can protect you, I will do my best. ”

The two of them didn't hesitate anymore, knelt down together, Tang Hui said solemnly: "Hou Ye, as long as you can stay, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the humble general will never give up, if the Hou Ye has any orders, the humble general will do it even if he fights for his life." ”

"That's what the lowly general means." Zhu Shuo immediately continued: "Master Hou has an order, never give up!" ”

Qi Ning got up and said with a smile: "Okay, it seems that the two of you really want to be loyal to the country, you think about the court in your heart, and the court will naturally not forget you." Ben Hou can give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, as long as you can successfully complete the task this time, not only can you stay in the water division, Ben Hou can promise you that he will definitely ask the court for merit for you, and let the court reward you two. ”

"Master Hou, what do you want us to do?" Tang Hui said solemnly.

Qi Ning raised his hand to signal the two to get up, and beckoned the two to get closer, and the two gathered to the side of the handsome case, Qi Ning had already taken out a map, spread it on the case, glanced at the two of them, and then said: "Your task is this map!" ”
