Although Nangong Xianming sought a glimmer of life and escaped as he wished, he also paid a great price. While he was happy, he was deeply saddened by the loss of nearly 100 warships.

Without any suspense, the Dongjiang Army quickly quelled the war and lost the threat of Nangong Xianming. The remaining pirates also surrendered one after another, knowing that they could not be defeated.

After Chen Qiyu's inventory, more than 60 pirate warships were directly captured in this battle. More than 2,000 pirates, and almost all of the known pirate leaders were directly killed.

Being able to know these is also thanks to Fang Xiaohai's identification.

Mao Wenlong looked at Chen Qiyu indifferently They were busy, and behind him, Fang Xiaohai was full of excitement at the moment. Since Mao Wenlong arrived, he immediately summoned Fang Xiaohai to come.

Slowly retracting his farsighted gaze, Mao Wenlong looked at Fang Xiaohai and said, "More than sixty warships have been captured, plus the original thirty or so. This general army will give you a whole number, into a hundred warships, 10,000 soldiers. With this kind of strength, are you sure to dominate here? ”

Fang Xiaohai knelt down on the deck with a thud, looked up at Mao Wenlong, and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, if your subordinates have such strength and can't control this sea area, what face will they have to live in this world." ”

Mao Wenlong's face was full of serious expression: "Don't say it too satisfactorily, you must know that in the liquidation just now, no trace of Nangong Xianming was found." If nothing else, he must have escaped, and on such a battlefield, he can escape quietly, but it is conceivable that this person still has some real skills. ”

Mao Wenlong's meaning is obvious, that is, he is worried that Fang Xiaohai is not Nangong Xianming's opponent in the end. Putting a hundred warships and soldiers into his hands, Mao Wenlong was deeply afraid, and in the end, the bamboo basket was empty.

"Please don't worry, the chief soldier doesn't have to worry, a villain like Nangong Xianming, his subordinates already know him. I didn't expect him to plot against his subordinates like this, and now he says that his subordinates will no longer trust him. I implore the general soldier to give his subordinates ten days, and within ten days, his subordinates will send Nangong Xianming's head. ”

Fang Xiaohai was very firm, and even made such a heavy oath directly in front of Mao Wenlong.

"Ten Days ......"

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, then give you ten days, if you don't do it after ten days, then don't blame the general soldier for being ruthless." ”

"If your subordinates can't do it, you don't need to do it with the general soldiers, and your subordinates will plant themselves!" Without leaving himself any way out, Fang Xiaohai was full of confidence at the moment.

Seeing this, Mao Wenlong didn't say much, and then instructed Chen Qiyu to give Fang Xiaohai anything he needed. Fang Xiaohai thanked Mao Wenlong again for his generosity, and then took his leave and retired with Chen Qiyu.

Chen Jisheng's injury on his buttocks was not yet healed, so he was lying on the recliner on the side at the moment, looking up at Mao Wenlong and saying worriedly: "Chief soldier, Fang Xiaohai is just an outsider who has just defected. We don't know him yet, and if we give him so much power now, my subordinates are afraid that he will rebel in the future. ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Chen Jisheng, and chuckled: "You can rest assured of this, it is impossible for this general soldier to really let him hold power from the beginning." Secret guards are all around him, and if he finds anything out of the ordinary, he will be killed! ”

When Chen Jisheng heard this, he immediately felt relieved. As long as the secret guards are guarding, just one Fang Xiaohai really can't turn up the wind and waves.

solved Fang Xiaohai's problem, but Mao Wenlong had to start preparing to return to Qiongzhou Mansion. From Guangzhou to the storm, it was almost half a month since he lost contact with Daming. Mao Wenlong knew that this would happen, and Daming must be anxious about his own safety.

"Where's Xu Fuzhu?" Mao Wenlong turned to look, but he didn't see Xu Fujuan himself.

"The subordinates are here." With a loud roar, Xu Fu's tall figure rushed out of the cabin.

"Chief soldier, what do you command?" Xu Fuzuo rushed to Mao Wenlong and said with his hands.

"Immediately arrange for two hot air balloons to go to Ryukyu Island, so that they can send the news of our safety to the territory of Daming. After losing contact for so many days, they don't know what to do in a hurry? Mao Wenlong's face showed a hint of bitterness.

When Xu Fuzuo heard that this was the case, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately took the order to make arrangements.

In the imperial city of Nanjing, in the imperial study, Hong Chengchou frowned deeply and walked back and forth anxiously inside. Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan looked at him with blank eyes, and they also looked anxious.

"Dad, why don't we hurry up and inform the emperor and ask him to give an order to send all the navies to the place where the Xianggong had an accident?" Hong Ziyan couldn't hold it back, so she stood up and stopped in front of Hong Chengchou, who was walking back and forth.

"Now is not the time!"

Hong Chengchou refused on the spot, and after a pause, he explained: "A few days ago, I had already informed the guards of Xiangjiang Island and Ryukyu Island that they should send troops to find their traces. Count the days, and the news should be delivered soon, so you can wait for another two or three days. ”

That being said, Hong Chengchou's performance at the moment has always affected the hearts of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan. They clearly saw that Hong Chengchou had no confidence when he spoke, how could they feel at ease in such a situation?

Chen Lan also stood up at this time, and she hesitated and said, "Otherwise, we should inform the emperor first and let him get ready." Once the Ryukyus and Xiangjiang send inappropriate news, we can also try to find the husband as soon as possible. ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Chen Lan suddenly, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to refuse again, but after a short period of thought, he helplessly arched his hand and said, "Then arrange it like this." ”

"Ryukyu Island Urgent ......"

Outside the imperial study, there was a eunuch who roared loudly, and the shrill voice pierced everyone's ears.

Hong Chengchou and Chen Lan, Hong Ziyan didn't care, and the three of them immediately focused their eyes on the door of the study. I saw the door open, and a eunuch rushed in.

"Where's the urgency?" Hong Chengchou looked at the eunuch who fell in front of him and shouted coldly.

The eunuch hurriedly handed the urgent report in his hand to Hong Chengchou, who took a gun and opened it in three or two to look at it.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan then also came over, and the three of them huddled together to get Mao Wenlong's news as soon as possible.

A moment later, Hong Chengchou suddenly let out a burst of laughter. The laughter echoed throughout the imperial study, and Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan also blushed.

There is no doubt that the news sent this time will be good news. Hong Chengchou looked at the second daughter and said, "Now you can all rest assured!" ”
