When Qi Ning saw Xin Ci for the first time, he knew that Xin Ci must have been a brave warrior back then.

Xin Ci's complexion is dark, his body is stout, only from the appearance, it is difficult to even guess how old he is, fortunately, Shen Liangqiu has introduced Xin Ci a little before entering the account, although this person looks powerful, but in two years, it will be half a hundred years old, perhaps because of the perennial exercise, this General Xin does not look old at all, his muscles are strong, his skin is tight, and there is no sign of sagging, which makes people feel a strong sense of strength at a glance.

Jin Dao Hou Taihuang has left the East China Sea Army for many years, and Xin Ci also returned to Beijing with him, but the influence of Jin Dao Hou on the East China Sea Division permeated every corner of the Water Division, and Xin Ci also became a legend in the mouth of the Water Division.

The old marquis of the golden knife led his troops to fight in the south and the north, and there were many generals under his command, Xin Ci was still young in the early years, but he had made a lot of contributions under the command of the old marquis, and what made Xin Ci really become a legend of the sailor was in the war to suppress the pirates in the East China Sea.

Although the king of the East China Sea committed suicide and surrendered, the surviving Han clan and many of his henchmen went to the sea to cause trouble, seriously threatening the safety of the East China Sea.

The army of the Taihuang is mainly the army, and there are few people who understand the navy, if you want to change the mind, but it is not an easy thing, the Taihuang specially organized a group of generals to learn water warfare, Xin Ci is to stand out from it, in the next war to pacify the East China Sea, repeatedly made meritorious contributions, became the best among the generals of the navy, and the rewards and punishments are clear, with Xin Ci outstanding contributions, and finally became the deputy general of the golden sword.

Qi Ning listened to Shen Liangqiu's brief introduction, and also had a general understanding of Xin Ci.

When the two of them entered the tent, Xin Ci was standing in front of the desk looking at the chart, heard the footsteps, looked up, recognized Qi Ning at a glance, immediately stepped forward, and said respectfully: "Xin Ci see the Hou Ye!" ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "General Xin is tired of saddle horses, and he has worked hard all the way. But in my heart, I suddenly thought that at this time, what was the intention of the imperial court to send Xin Ci to the East China Sea? Could it be that after fighting for Tai Huang, it turned out to be Xin Ci to take over the position of Lan Tai Zhilin?

Xin Ci is the confidant of the Taihuang Dynasty, and he is naturally loyal to the Emperor Taihuang, and this person has extraordinary talent in commanding the naval army, in terms of prestige, this person was also a legend of the East China Sea Division, and in the hearts of the East China Sea Division, his prestige may not be weaker than Shen Liangqiu.

"General Xin!" Although Shen Liangqiu is the current deputy general of the East China Sea Division, he is still respectful to this senior and bows his hand.

Xin Ci grinned and said, "Liangqiu, we haven't seen each other for a few years, it's always been good?" ”

Shen Liangqiu and Xin Ci are both members of the Golden Dao Tai family, and they have a close relationship with the Tai family, and they are both masters of the East China Sea, so it is natural that they are familiar with each other.

"All is well." Shen Liangqiu said: "I don't know ..... old marquis?" ”

Xin Ci frowned, his expression darkened, and said, "The Governor of Dadu has passed away, and the old marquis is naturally sad. Don't say much, and said directly: "I was ordered by the old marquis to deal with the aftermath of the Metropolitan Governor, I have been to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion before, and the Metropolitan Governor and the young lady have been buried, Liangqiu, how are you going to deal with the aftermath of the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

Shen Liangqiu's expression was solemn, and he said, "General Xin, when the young lady passed away, she left a suicide note, I don't know .....?" ”

"Manager Hou has already handed it over to me." Xin Ci sighed: "It is rare that the young lady has a deep affection for the Metropolitan Governor, and his husband and wife naturally want to be buried together." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor once said before his death, saying that if one day he really .....!" Shen Liangqiu paused for a moment before continuing: "He hopes to be able to stay in the East China Sea, and his bones will never be separated from the East China Sea. ”

Xin Ci bowed his head slightly, but did not speak.

Qi Ning asked at this time: "General Xin, I don't know what the old marquis means?" ”

Xin Ci smiled bitterly and said: "The old marquis has been in a sad mood these days, and he rarely even speaks, waiting for you to send news." After the investigation of the adults of the Criminal Department, it was proved that the Metropolitan Governor had indeed committed suicide, and the old marquis was even more sad when he learned about it, and he did not have the energy to deal with these aftermaths, so he ordered me to come to the East China Sea. He raised his hand and said, "Master Hou, please take a seat!" ”

After all, he came from the East China Sea Division, and although he hadn't been here for many years, as soon as he entered the barracks, it was like going home, and he seemed very calm and familiar.

After Qi Ning sat down, Xin Cicai said: "This time I came over, I was going to transport the coffins of the Metropolitan Governor and the young lady back to Jiangxia and bury them in my hometown, but the old marquis also instructed that the future affairs of the Metropolitan Governor should still be discussed with Liangqiu, after all, the East China Sea is also the second hometown of the Lantai family, you have a very good personal relationship with the Metropolitan Governor, and you can understand the thoughts of the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Shen Liangqiu nodded slightly, and said: "General Xin, if the old marquis means to transport the metropolitan governor back to Jiangxia, we naturally have to do it according to the old marquis's instructions, and return to the roots, when the old marquis was young, he followed the old marquis to leave his hometown to fight in the south and the north, and now he ..... Now that I have gone, it is naturally a good result to be able to return to my hometown. After a slight pause, he continued: "The Governor's own wish is to stay in the East China Sea, and after his death, he will be buried at sea, which is also the meaning of the young lady's suicide note. ”

Xin Ci sighed and said, "I can understand the mind of the Grand Duke. Those of us who have been with the sea all year round, the blood in our bones has been inseparable from the sea, and the blood flowing in our veins is actually seawater. With a sigh on his face, he said: "Don't say that the governor of the capital, it is my hard work, and I also thought about being buried in the sea after death." Finally, he said to Shen Liangqiu: "If the Metropolitan Governor really has this wish, let's follow the wishes of the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Shen Liangqiu opened his mouth, stopped talking, and Xin Ci said, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"General Xin, after the death of the Metropolitan Governor, the old marquis ..... The old marquis has never seen the governor of the capital, if he is ..... If it is buried at sea, is it .....! ”

Xin Ci shook his head and said: "If you have this concern, you can be regarded as dedicated." In fact, when I came, I also mentioned it to the old marquis, after all, the governor has not returned to Beijing for several years, and the old marquis has not seen him for many years, and now it is ..... goodbye! Shook his head: "Although the old marquis didn't say anything, I also understand his old man's intentions, since it is goodbye, if he sees each other, it will be even more sad." And the road is far away, and the old marquis is not in good health, and he can't travel long distances, so let's do our best to arrange the aftermath. ”

Shen Liangqiu's expression was solemn and he nodded slightly.

Xin Ci said again: "The emperor gave a will, in order to commend the meritorious deeds of the metropolitan governor, posthumously crowned the metropolitan governor as the marquis of Jinghai, but the news of the young lady's death did not have time to be reported to the imperial court, and the emperor should also be given a seal when he returns." After a pause, he finally asked, "Liangqiu, you said in your report that most of the reason why the Metropolitan Governor committed suicide was mostly because of the Black Tiger Shark?" ”

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said, "General Xin, you should have heard a little about what the Black Tiger Shark has done in the past two years. Dadu Governor has been a hero all his life, but he has been humiliated by the black tiger shark several times, he .....! "Didn't go on.

Xin Ci smiled bitterly: "The young man of the Metropolitan Governor is ambitious, he is a person with a lot of face, and he has been humiliated by pirates several times, which is really unbearable. He clenched his fists and said, "What kind of movement is the black tiger shark now?" ”

Shen Liangqiu arched his hand and said, "I have already brought back the head of the Black Tiger Shark. ”

"Head?" Xin Ci was stunned.

Shen Liangqiu's operation was extremely secretive, and there were only a handful of people in the army who knew about it, even those soldiers who participated in this operation, when they set off, they didn't know that they were going to capture the black tiger shark, Xin Ci had just arrived at the barracks, so naturally he didn't know anything about it.

"Thanks to Hou Ye this time, we found out the whereabouts of the black tiger shark, so we secretly carried out the capture operation." Shen Liangqiu said: "Thanks to the blessing of the Hou Ye, this time the operation was very smooth, getting rid of the black tiger shark, and also solving a major problem in Haijiang." ”

Xin Ci smiled at Qi Ning and said, "Master Hou made this trip to the East China Sea and commanded the removal of the black tiger shark, which is really gratifying." ”

Qi Ning waved his hand and smiled: "General Xin doesn't listen to General Shen's words, he is humble. I can explain that this operation was planned by General Shen from beginning to end, that is, when the Black Tiger Shark was captured, it was also General Shen himself who went into battle. ”

Xin Ci said with a little emotion: "Liangqiu was able to get rid of the black tiger shark with his own hands, which can be regarded as avenging the Dadu Governor, and the Dadu Governor Quanxia is also relieved." Then he asked, "Liangqiu, when are you going to bury the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

"I've been waiting for the old marquis's instructions." Shen Liangqiu said: "Since the old marquis asked General Xin to come, let's see a suitable day, let the governor be buried as soon as possible, and if the matter is handled here, General Xin can also return to Beijing as soon as possible to return to the old marquis." ”

"That's not a rush." Xin Ci shook his head and said: "This time, if the coffin of the Grand Governor is to be transported back to Jiangxia, I will naturally personally escort it over, even so, after dealing with the aftermath of the Grand Governor in Jiangxia, I will also return to the East China Sea." Since the Metropolitan Governor is going to be buried in the East China Sea, I don't have to go to Jiangxia, and after dealing with the aftermath of the Metropolitan Governor and the young lady, I can stay here. ”

Shen Liangqiu was stunned, and Xin Ci explained: "The old marquis is worried that after the death of the Metropolitan Governor, the East China Sea Division will be unstable. You also know that there have been changes in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the imperial court has begun to plan for the Northern Expedition. The old marquis has already recommended you to the imperial court to lead the East China Sea Division, so he sent me to assist you in handling the military affairs of the water division. ”

Shen Liangqiu hurriedly said: "General Xin, you are highly respected, how can I .....!" ”

"You don't have to say much, since the old marquis recommended you, he naturally has his old man's considerations, and the old marquis will not be wrong if he sees people." Xin Ci said solemnly: "You can concentrate on managing the East China Sea Master, I am here, if you are sent, you can order it down at any time, since the old marquis asked me to assist you in managing the water master, I should be exhausted, and there will be no slackness." ”
