Hearing that the Japanese were still rampant in the waters north of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong immediately felt dissatisfied with the three brothers of the Li family. Immediately let Haoda arrange a small boat, and then go directly to the distant lucky boat.

Looking at the Fukubune in the distance from the pier, the visual difference makes people feel nothing. But once you get closer, you realize the enormity of the lucky boat. Although the fortune ship in front of him is only less than half of the huge freighters in modern times, it still shocks Mao Wenlong.

Looking at the whole world at present, only this lucky ship is a well-deserved giant. According to Mao Wenlong's understanding, it seems that this lucky boat is the first in the world.

Climbing up the Fu boat from the rope ladder, on the deck, Mao Wenlong immediately saw that the three brothers of the Lijia family were already waiting. Mao Wenlong was not polite, and said bluntly as soon as he came up: "Lihui, is your fleet eating dry rice?" I heard that the northern pirates are still reckless at sea, do you have anything to say about this? ”

The three brothers of the Lijia family, who were originally full of smiles, were asked about the sore spot by Mao Wenlong as he came up. Lihui laughed dryly, and then took the initiative to compensate: "The chief soldier is right, this wolf has indeed not been completely eliminated from the northern seas. I Lihui has an unshirkable responsibility, but I also ask the general army to give us a little more time, after all, because of the war in Shandong a few days ago, our defense on the sea has become a blank, which gives the Japanese a chance to move. ”

Mao Wenlong listened to Lihui's explanation, and he obviously accepted it, the chaos in Shandong not long ago did cause a lot of trouble. He had forgiven Lihui in his heart, but Mao Wenlong was not spared: "Although your reasons are very good, this is not a condition for you to shirk your responsibility." But forget it this time, you are not allowed to have a next time, if a month later, there are still pirates on the northern sea, then don't blame me for the heavy punishment. ”

Although the three brothers of the Lijia family were scolded by Mao Wenlong, fortunately they were not punished. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Lihui hurriedly clenched his fists and promised: "The subordinates are determined to clear all the Japanese in the northern sea within a month, and live up to the expectations of the general army." ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at him, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's useless to say more, you have to take action." I'll leave it here for you, and you'll do it yourself. ”

The three brothers of the Lijia family suddenly felt a little embarrassed on their faces, and they were already a little impatient when they saw Mao Wenlong's expression, and the three of them didn't dare to talk any more.

Mao Wenlong was not interested in paying attention to the three brothers, and he began to impatiently take a look at the lucky boat under his feet.

Lihui didn't dare to slack off, and personally followed Mao Wenlong to explain everything on the Fu ship, including the equipment of the artillery, and the number of personnel. Lihui was like a few treasures, talking endlessly, and Mao Wenlong also watched and listened while walking.

For everything Lihui said, Mao Wenlong is still quite satisfied at the moment, although the lucky ship in front of him can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, but according to Mao Wenlong's previous idea, it has changed a lot.

"Very well, now this ship is short of suitable wood, and once you have wood suitable for keel, you can start to build a real lucky ship. At that time, a strong army on the sea will be invincible, and we will not be able to go anywhere in the vast sea. Mao Wenlong has a big heart.

Lihui didn't dare to express his opinion, but after hearing Mao Wenlong's lofty ideals, he was also excited in his heart. After all, crisscrossing the sea, this is the life goal of their three brothers.

After walking around the boat, before I knew it, it was already afternoon, Mao Wenlong left the fortune boat, returned to the shore, and walked back to the mansion slowly.

According to his agreement with Wu Sangui, he can go to sea early tomorrow morning, and Mao Wenlong intends to bring Wu Sangui over. It's a pity that he knows that this matter is difficult, after all, Wu Sangui is also an ambitious person.

But no matter how hard it is? Mao Wenlong had to try, and there was nothing to lose if he failed. If it succeeds, it will be an unexpected surprise.

Dengzhou Mansion has not become lively because of Mao Wenlong's arrival, and it is still the usual appearance. Mao Wenlong's low profile made the people here not know that Mao Wenlong had arrived.

When night fell, in order to meet Wu Sangui tomorrow, Mao Wenlong fell asleep early that night. However, in the middle of the night, Mao Wenlong suddenly heard the faint sound of fighting in the palace.

As soon as he woke up, he saw a huge figure rushing in, and after lighting the oil lamp, Mao Wenlong said: "Chief soldier, I don't know what happened in the front yard, there is a fight." ”

Mao Wenlong frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Have you sent someone to check?" ”

Haoda nodded and said, "I have already asked people to investigate, and there should be news soon." ”

As soon as the loud voice fell, a man in black suddenly flashed outside the door. Haoda was suddenly shocked that this person was able to sneak in quietly. It must be a person with extremely high skills, Hao Da didn't dare to slack off, he immediately drew a knife in his hand, stared at the man in black, and opened his mouth to call out to the guards outside.

However, the man in black suddenly ripped off the black scarf on his face, and by the faint moonlight, it could be seen that the man in black was actually Adou.

"Don't alarm anyone!" Adou quickly stepped into the house, turned around and closed the door.

Mao Wenlong had already gotten up and put on his clothes, no need to ask, the situation in front of him had already reminded him that the movement in the front yard just now should have been made by Adou.

"How? Did you make any new discoveries? Mao Wenlong sat at the table, looked at Adou and said softly.

"Chief soldier, that Ye Governor's Mansion is not simple." Adou took off the black clothes on his body and said to Mao Wenlong.

"Where is the simplicity?" Mao Wenlong suddenly became interested.

At first, he was just suspicious, and there was no evidence, but he didn't expect this investigation to really find out something.

Adou poured two mouthfuls of cold water before he said: "This Ye Zhifu actually has a secret passage in his bedroom, and this secret passage leads directly to the cliff by the sea outside the city. When the subordinates followed the prefect to the beach, they were unfortunately discovered, and two masters shot ruthlessly, and the subordinates were defeated, so they had to flee all the way back. ”

"Master, are you from the palace?" Mao Wenlong was also quite surprised, he was very familiar with Adou's skills, and he was even invincible to Adou, which shows how high these two masters are.

Adou shook his head and said, "At that time, the situation was urgent, and my subordinates didn't see the appearance of those two people clearly. However, judging from the weapons and knife techniques he used, his subordinates have a sense of déjà vu, just like the previous Ren Ming's tricks. If the subordinates are not mistaken, then these people that Ye Zhifu secretly contacted should be Japanese coles. ”

"Wako?" Mao Wenlong was even more surprised.

"Yes, and it should be the remnants of Ren Ming's subordinates from the past." Adou said affirmatively.
