In order to distinguish it from Shibata Katsuie's army, I made a private agreement with Yushiba Hideyoshi that all the people of the Daming Army and the Yushiba Army would tie a red scarf on their right arm.

I had already tied it, but on the way, my heart was filled with indescribable feelings.

In this battle, my heart is full of contradictions and helplessness, no matter which aspect it is.

For Hideyoshi Hashiba, I have a very complicated guilt in my heart.

I took too much away from him, and he has always been patient and polite to me. For such a struggler, what right do I have to cheat and take away the victory and glory that should belong to him?

And Shibata Katsuya must be wrong? I helped him, he gave me something in return, and we were mutually beneficial. And in the final analysis, he is just trying to make a way out, is it wrong?

As for the Ming Dynasty, I don't owe it, not at all!

Since I came to this world, I have nothing to ask for in the Ming Dynasty, and the only thing I want to do is to help the second uncle and help Qi Dudu fulfill their long-cherished ambition.

As for myself, I prefer the kind of ease and freedom that is on the sea.

In the thirty years of my previous life, I was tired of hiding myself in front of and behind others; The past ten years of this life have made me even more tired of these intrigues between people.

Why should I live like this? I mean, now, I don't have a lot of power in the court, I don't want those fancy official positions, I just want my own life.

As for my return this time, it was entirely out of morality and the obsession in my heart, and I did not want to see the last dynasty of the Han people die out in the hands of the Manchu Tartars.

But from the eyes of Li Rusong and people from top to bottom, I have seen my future destiny.

Last night, I received a letter from Hua Mei. The letter said three layers of meaning, each of which was like a knife, slashing at my heart.

The first meaning, Hua Mei misses me very much, the kite misses me too, the family is very good, don't miss it. In addition, he also told me to take care of my body and pay attention to safety.

My hand holding the letter trembled, for the same thoughts filled my heart.

The second meaning, father-in-law Li Zaixing is seriously ill, and it is estimated that he will not be able to survive this summer, the doctor said. Let me go back and give him a ride if I have time. At the same time, I heard that Qi Dudu's state is not very good, and several sons except Qi Xingguo have already gone to Penglai from Beijing, and the situation is also very bad.

I couldn't help but tug at the letter hard. These two people are both people who are kind to me, Qi Dudu is my Bole and guide who came to this world, and my father-in-law has fulfilled my life event of finding a partner in this lonely world. Why can't I go and send them to the end of these two people, but I have to suffer this splint here?

The third meaning, Hua Mei's words are written in a hurry, and it can be seen that her heart is anxious.

To the effect that my father-in-law asked him to tell me that there was a lot of gossip in the court, saying that I was alone on the sea, and I had repeatedly made great achievements, and I had repeatedly slandered the court with wild words, and I still had a heart of disobedience after drinking!

As for who said that, he didn't know. Why, naturally, it was jealousy of my strength that was far beyond their control, and gradually evolved into fear and hatred.

My father-in-law told me that if I am done or not, if there is no major event that I must return to Beijing, it is best to ...... Bad to come back!

Because the little emperor's attitude is very ambiguous - he neither agrees with these views that slander me, nor does he refute them.

What does this mean? It shows that he is waiting, waiting for the day when we defeat the Japanese and return to the court!

As for how to get to that time, how to exhaust the birds and beasts, hide the good bow, exhaust the foxes and rabbits, and cook the lackeys - just as Li Rusong said, it is not that he said that the square is the square, and he said that the circle is the circle!

And I, as everyone thinks, has become a fish on the chopping board, just a stupid person who seems to be smart, but is actually stupid, who doesn't understand reality at all, and only has a bloody heart!

Victim, is there anything more suitable for me besides this word?

Can't find it.

Standing at the bow of the boat, I clutched the letter tightly in my hand, feeling the oncoming sea breeze, which was cold.

Ye Sizhong saw that my face was pale, so he asked me, "Qilan, what happened?" Is your home okay? ”

I nodded, was silent for a moment, and handed the letter in my hand to Ye Sizhong.

He looked at the content in front of him, quickly browsed it, and turned to the second page, but his hand shook heavily!

He stared at me hard, trying to find the anxiety and pain he felt on my face, but all he could see was calm.

After all, these two people, especially Qi Dudu, were equally important to him.

Seeing that my face was indifferent, he continued to look down, his face became more and more solemn, and he couldn't help but cry out "ah"!

"How so! Why is this really happening! This shouldn't be, doesn't the emperor really have the heart to worry about the country and cherish his talents for the country? Ye Sizhong couldn't help but scold.

He was depressed and angry, because he knew how much effort and effort I had put into this country, but what had I gained? What else do I have but a false name?

The world is big, why can't there be such a person who has nothing to ask for and is dedicated to the country?

In the great Ming Dynasty, how many people can be so pure for the country and not seek fame and fortune? If you have to deal with one person, even if you deal with me Ye Sizhong, in exchange for Sun Qilan's peace, okay?

Compared with my calmness, Ye Sizhong's reaction was more intense and angry. Because he understands what it will be like to turn the river and sea in my heart under my peaceful face.

"Dude, it seems that things are coming faster than we thought, so I have some things that I have to explain in advance." I looked at the approaching land, the bursts of gunsmoke, and said lightly.

"You say." Ye Sizhong couldn't say a word.

"First, after this battle, I will take a small number of people to go deep into the Great Khing'an Mountains, you know what I am going to do." My face was very calm: "I will not regret the naval army, Gerhardt will continue to lead, I will not let people know that I have left, and I hope you will cover more, brother." ”

Ye Sizhong gritted his teeth: "Okay!" ”

"Second, I am ready to let Lan lead a fleet back to Daming, and try my best to persuade my father-in-law, Li Zaixing, and Qi Dudu to follow her to sea, so as to relieve my worries. Customs clearance documents, buddy help figure it out. ”

Ye Sizhong gritted his teeth again: "Okay!" ”

"Third, I plan to go to the south after returning from the Great Khing'an Mountains. Specifically, Gangneung," I sighed.

"What are you going to do?" Ye Sizhong was puzzled, he didn't know what I was doing in Jiangling, and suddenly woke up and said, "Are you going to worship Zhang Taiyue?" ”

I nodded: "Once I leave this time, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to come back here, and my second uncle and ancestor can be regarded as saying goodbye." If I don't go to see his old man, I'm upset! ”

Ye Sizhong didn't make a sound, suddenly shed tears, and stood silently.

I smiled and groaned: "The city is supplemented by Sanqin, and the wind and smoke look at Wujin." Parting with the king, the same is a eunuch. There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor. Inaction is on the road, and the children are stained with scarves. I know that it is impossible to persuade you to go with me, so I just hope that you will not be sad, even if we are thousands of miles apart, we are still brothers! ”

"The sea breeze is strong, and I am blinded." Ye Sizhong wiped his eyes, changed his smile and said: "Qilan, you are a genius, no matter where you are, you must be a genius who has passed through the heavens and latitudes. This is a good thing! How can I be sad when I still expect to hear that you have done great things? ”

I turned around, shook hands with Ye Sizhong, suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly: "Brother, there are two things you should keep in mind, don't treat them as child's play." ”

Seeing that I was so serious, Ye Sizhong couldn't help but be a little nervous: "Qilan, but it's okay to say, remember for my brother!" ”

I nodded at him, stared into his eyes, and said, "This first one is about you - remember, in twenty years, there may be a big battle in Shanhaiguan." You don't want to stay in Jizhou no matter what, even if you resign and don't do it, don't go to that battle! ”

What I'm talking about is the season when the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens began a full-scale confrontation, and what I'm afraid of is that even if there is no possibility that the Nurhachi Jurchens will still rise, and Ye Sizhong's death in battle is inseparable from this war.

"At that time, if you have no other choice, just find my informant who stayed in the Ming Dynasty - I will let them contact you - wherever you want to go, my brother can arrange it for you at any time!" I tell you again and again.

Ye Sizhong understood, he knew that my master had known for 500 years and 500 years, since I warned him like this, it must be a matter of life and death for him, and it was by no means an easy trivial matter.

But despite Ye Sizhong's talent, when he heard or might be his most anticipated information, he couldn't help but lose the courage to ask, so he just nodded resignedly and said, "I've written it down for my brother!" ”

I added: "As for the second thing, in seven or eight years, the Tatars will enter the northern frontier again, and whoever goes to be the general, you don't want to go!" If Li Rusong or someone else goes...... Remind as you see fit. ”

Ye Sizhong was stunned again, he couldn't imagine that I didn't even say two things about that ominous day, and he was silent for a while. I gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "My master calculates that in seven or eight years, this battle will be Li Rusong's last period, and I say this in case there are any variables, brother, you must not get involved." This is the most important piece of advice a brother can give you! ”

Ye Sizhong frowned and said, "Qilan, although I am not a person of magic, I also understand very clearly the truth that the heavenly machine cannot be revealed. If you tell me the limit like this, will it affect you? ”

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, what kind of genius is this, it's obviously just a history textbook, but I can't say it explicitly, so I can only say vaguely: "Once or twice will be fine...... Dude, you must remember carefully! ”

Ye Sizhong was about to agree, but the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao suddenly walked up to him quickly and said, "Sir, there is Jinye City in front!" Katsuie Shibata and Hideyoshi Hashiba are fighting with all their might, are we intervening in the battlefield? ”

I asked, "Li Rusong, where are they now?" ”

The Nine Ghosts replied: "The signal returns, Li Rusong is still lurking thirty miles away, waiting for our attack opportunity, he is so full of strength!" ”

I nodded: "That's the case, shell the Shibata army with all your might!" Do everything possible to break up their ranks and create an advantage for the follow-up troops! ”

"Yes!" The Nine Ghosts have turned around and gone, and a big war is coming!
