The time of gathering together is always short, and there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. Zhang Zhen, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, is finally leaving after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Today, on the side of the trestle bridge at Beiwan Wharf on Huangcheng Island, Zhong Hao, Jiang Yuhan, and Shen Qianqian reluctantly bid farewell to Zhang Zhen!

Zhang Zhen wore a moon-white robe today, holding a green shark skin scabbard in his hand, and a long sword with a Taoist talisman engraved on the hilt.

Jiang Yuhan said with red eyes: "Master remember to come back to see us in the future!" ”

Shen Qianqian grabbed Zhang Zhen's arm and said reluctantly: "Master, can you not leave?" ”

Zhang Zhen smiled and said: "Silly boy, the master is just going to travel for a while, and he will come back to see you sooner or later!" ”

After appeasing his two female apprentices, Zhang Zhen looked at Zhong Hao and said: "Wen Xuan, your kung fu is still a beginner, this Huangcheng Island is also a collection of heaven and earth aura, and it is also a good place to cultivate, you can stay here for a while, and practice this qi conduction technique and cloud wind sword technique!" Just here, you can also learn more from your two senior sisters by the way, which will be very beneficial to your martial arts improvement! For the sake of the teacher, you will definitely work hard in this life in the future, and it is also a life of running around and toiling, and you may not have such time to practice kung fu well. In addition, although there are a lot of apprentices for the teacher, but this martial arts, this is only the three apprentices who are officially included in the door wall, and your two senior sisters are also lonely and miserable, so you will take care of them more in the future. "In addition to being proficient in martial arts, Zhang Zhen is also extremely proficient in this technique and easy learning, and even the matter of this article is also proficient, otherwise how could he teach a person like Wang Zeng who is connected to the three elements. However, this martial art does only include Jiang Yuhan, Shen Qianqian and Zhong Hao.

Zhong Hao hurriedly agreed: "The apprentice must follow the master's teachings and practice diligently. As for taking care of the two senior sisters, the master can rest assured, but I, Zhong Hao, will not be bullied by people when I am alive for a day! ”

I called Zhang Zhen a master, and this Wang Zeng also called Zhang Zhen a master, although what they learned was different, but after all, they were the same master, and it seemed that he and he were brothers. At the thought of being able to call Wang Wenzheng a senior brother, Zhong Hao was still a little excited! His teacher Xu Shanchang in Songlin Academy, Fan Gong, who was promoted by Wang Wenzheng, and his father-in-law, Fu Xianggong, all respect Wang Wenzhenggong, and when it comes to Wang Wenzhenggong, they all regard themselves as the last juniors! Zhong Hao was exposed to them, and he also respected this Wang Wenzheng very much. Today, when I think that I can call Wang Wenzheng a senior brother, I am naturally very honored.

Jiang Yuhan and Shen Qianqian have always been teasing and playing with Zhong Hao, and they have never been in shape, but this time when they heard their master say solemnly, they couldn't help but look at Zhong Hao, and they didn't say anything witty this time.

After instructing those two things, Zhang Zhen raised the long sword in his hand, and then said to Zhong Hao: "This Lingfeng sword was used by Master Chen when he was young, it was extremely sharp, and when Master Chen was young, he held this sword to dominate the world, and no one could resist it. It's just that later Master Chen's kung fu has been practiced to hurt the enemy by picking flowers and leaves, and he can't use it. Moreover, in his later years, Master Chen cultivated his Taoism, was upright and peaceful, and did not have the heart to confront others. It is because later when I learned the Yunfeng swordsmanship as a teacher, Master Chen passed this Lingfeng sword to me, and now this sword has been with me for more than 40 years, but unfortunately this sword has not shown its true value in the hands of the teacher, and today the teacher will pass it on to you, you cherish it. As a teacher, you will definitely fight in this life and in the future, and with this sharp sword, it can be regarded as a little more reliance and protection. ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but have a sour nose, he had only been together with his master for more than a month, but he really cared for him, and he couldn't help but be very moved, and thanked the master a little choked.

Zhang Zhen handed the Ling Feng Sword in his hand to Zhong Hao, and Zhong Hao hurriedly stepped forward to take it with both hands. When Zhong Hao took the sword, Zhang Zhen suddenly leaned forward, attached his ear to Zhong Hao, and said a little jokingly: "The double cultivation method that the master said has already been taught to you, and there will be a chance in the future, don't let it go!" ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, but he secretly wondered in his heart: When did the master teach me the method of double cultivation?! How did I not know?!

Zhong Hao was about to ask, but Zhang Zhen didn't wait for him to ask, and laughed: "When the opportunity comes, you can use that exercise." The cultivation of this Yin and Yang method in this Qi Conduction Technique is different, and you will be able to understand it at that time. Go for the teacher, the three of you go back! ”

After that, Zhang Zhen turned around and left, and walked on the sea boat that was docked at the North Bay Wharf on Huangcheng Island to help him leave the island.

Zhong Hao and the three of them were reluctant, and their eyes kept looking at the sea ship until they could no longer see it......

It wasn't until the ship left for a long time that Zhong Hao and the three of them came back to their senses.

The curious Shen Qianqian couldn't stop the curiosity in her heart, and asked, "I heard what the master said just now, tell me what the master secretly told you in your ear just now?" ”

Zhong Hao listened to Shen Qianqian's question, and couldn't help but say very mysteriously: "Well, hehe, the Buddha said: I can't say, when the opportunity comes, I'll tell the two senior sisters!" ”

Shen Qianqian pouted and said: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, what kind of trick is it, hmph, I think it's definitely not a good thing for you to say!" ”

Zhong Hao listened to Shen Qianqian's words, and couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Is there an apprentice like you?" The master has just left, and you are talking bad about him behind your back! Be careful, I'll tell the master in the future! ”

When Shen Qianqian heard that Zhong Hao was going not to sue the master, she immediately held the knuckles of her fingers with a crisp sound of "Gaba Gaba", and said in an unkind tone to Zhong Hao: "If you are not afraid of being beaten, you can just say it!" ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but shut up very interestingly when he saw Shen Qianqian's threats, he has been beaten by Shen Qianqian these days, in the face of the threat of force from the second senior sister Shen Qianqian, in order to be less beaten, he can only choose to forget the "disrespect" that the second senior sister just had to the master just now!

…………………………

After the master Zhang Zhen left, Zhong Hao followed the master's instructions and continued to stay on the island to practice martial arts.

In fact, there is no need for the master's instructions, Zhong Hao also stayed a little happy on God's City Island. Although the hottest summer season has passed, today's "autumn tigers" are still raging hotly, and the weather on Huangcheng Island is cool and humid, which is much more comfortable than in the interior. Especially at night, Zhong Hao opened the window of the fine house where he lived, the sea breeze blew gently, and he slept very comfortably, without a trace of heat.

Of course, the main reason why Zhong Hao stayed on Huangcheng Island was that he didn't have anything to do when he returned to Dengzhou, and all he could do was wait. Because there is still no news from the Goryeo envoy, I don't know when it will come. Jiang Yuhan had already instructed the ships of the Haichao Gang to pay more attention to the news of the Goryeo envoy, if the Goryeo envoy arrived, the Haichao Gang should have been informed earlier by the Dengzhou Goryeo Pavilion, and it would not be too late for Zhong Hao to return to Dengzhou. Therefore, Zhong Hao is now at ease to stay on Huangcheng Island to practice this Qi Conduction Technique and Cloud Wind Sword Technique.

The fine houses where Zhong Hao lives now are the ones where his master used to live. These cottages are located under the hillock, the creek is around the front, and a few bamboo poles are repaired, which is very elegant, and Zhong Hao said that he likes it very much.

The master is gone, these two houses are naturally empty, and his master doesn't know when he will come back, or if he will never come again, Zhong Hao said to Jiang Yuhan and Shen Qianqian that the sea is wet, if this house does not live for a long time, I am afraid that it will decay faster, so he also took Jiang Yuhan and Shen Qianqian to express his position, so he moved over unceremoniously.

A flat open space next to the fine house, Zhong Hao practiced qi in the fine house in the morning, and practiced sword in the open space in the afternoon, and the days were very leisurely. Of course, if it's okay, he will also help the Haichao Gang make some soju, and with soju to talk to those Khitans and Jurchens in Liaodong, he can make the life of the Haichao Gang a little easier, and naturally he will help Jiang Yuhan, the big boss of the Haichao Gang!

With these soju, the livelihood of the Haichao Gang can be improved slightly, which can make the doubts within the Haichao Gang about whether Jiang Yuhan can lead the Haichao Gang to live a better life a little less.

…………………………

Zhong Hao was at ease on Huangcheng Island for a while, but it was very unquiet on the Dengzhou side.

According to the news found out by the Haichao Gang, the Goryeo pirates attacked the county seat of Wendeng in Dengzhou with the Japanese pirates they raised, and after burning and looting in Wendeng City, they left and took many women captive.

The crazy actions of the Goryeo pirates and the Japanese pirates who burned, killed and looted not only shook Dengzhou, but also the imperial court.

In the past, although these Goryeo pirates and Japanese pirates also often robbed the ships of the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants, the reason why they were called pirates was naturally robbed at sea most of the time, and they rarely went ashore to attack the places of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the brutal act of burning, killing and looting of the Goryeo pirates and the Japanese pirates was reported to the imperial court by Yuan Keren, the governor of Dengzhou, it also caused a great shock in the imperial court, so that the imperial court could not help but pay attention to the matter of the Goryeo pirates and Japanese pirates.

The attack of the Goryeo pirates and Japanese pirates on the coastal counties of the Great Song Dynasty was also a great blow to the face of the Great Song Dynasty. In addition to writing to Goryeo and asking Goryeo to crack down on Goryeo pirates, the Great Song Dynasty also ordered the Daoyu Village and the Salmon Island Navy on the coast of Dengzhou to strengthen coastal patrols, and at the same time ordered the Navy Inspection Department of Mizhou Port to send some ships to help Dengzhou strengthen protection against the cold.

In addition to strengthening coastal protection, it also ordered a curfew on the city of Dengju and the four prefectures under its jurisdiction to prevent the recurrence of Goryeo pirates and Japanese pirates.

In addition to these passive measures such as strengthening defenses and imposing curfews, the imperial court also requisitioned the southern navy to Dengju to prepare for a crackdown on the Goryeo pirates on Yeondondo Island and the Japanese pirates under their control.

If the Great Song Dynasty encountered such a big provocation from the Goryeo pirates but did not fight back, I am afraid that these Goryeo pirates would become more and more arrogant, and the attacks on the coastal areas of the Great Song Dynasty would become more and more severe.

Although Zhong Hao also felt sorry for the people along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty, he could do nothing but sympathize with this matter.

Zhong Hao is still practicing Qi Channeling Technique and Cloud Wind Sword Technique on Huangcheng Island with peace of mind.

………………………………

However, this time, the Great Song Dynasty court's response to the attack of the pirates on Wendeng County on Liangtong Island was very resolute and fast.

Twenty days later, Zhong Hao heard Shen Qianqian say that the Great Song Dynasty had sent a naval army to encircle and suppress the Goryeo pirates and Japanese pirates on Liangtong Island.

It is said that in this encirclement and suppression, although the pirates on the island suffered heavy casualties, the Great Song sailors were not much better, and they also suffered serious losses.

The forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was the most elite infantry and the strongest combat power, followed by cavalry, and the strength of the naval division was very weak. Because after the pacification of the southern countries, the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty was basically in the state of Ma Fang Nanshan. In this era, there was no awareness of coastal defense, and the navy naturally did not build any ships suitable for sea operations. At most, it is enough to build some small swordfish boats, etc., which can patrol the coastal sea, or go to the islands inhabited by the common people in the larger coastal areas to collect taxes, so the Great Song Dynasty naval army is naturally not strong.

Moreover, most of the combat ships of the Great Song Dynasty Navy Division were high-rise ships and yellow dragon ships that were only suitable for inland river operations, and they could not withstand the wind and waves at sea at all. Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty Navy Division only had smaller warships such as Pingcheng and Gongmeng, plus some warships converted from sea tax ships, which could go to sea to fight. Moreover, the Great Song Naval Division lacked experience in naval combat, so when the Great Song Naval Division encircled and suppressed pirates, it could not avoid heavy losses.

In Zhong Hao's opinion, this equivalent Great Song Naval Division is not as effective as the sea fleet of those large maritime merchants! However, after all, the Great Song Dynasty sailor has the backing of the imperial court, and it is better to have a large number of ships, and it is enough to deal with the pirates of Liangtong Island to attack!

This time, Wendeng County was attacked by a group of pirates into Dengzhou City, burned and looted, and was slapped in the face. Otherwise, not only is it a matter of the court's face, but if it is given to the Goryeo pirates to fight back, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the northern coast of the Great Song Dynasty to have a peaceful day!

In the past few days, Zhong Hao has met Jiang Yuhan once, and heard her talk about the situation of Goryeo pirates in the eastern waters of the Beihai Sea. According to the investigation sent by the Haichao Gang, those Japanese pirates and Goryeo bandits, under the blows of the Great Song Dynasty Sailors, have been forced to retreat to Cheyou Island, which is close to the Khitan in the north of Liangtong Island, and has been occupied by the Great Song Sailors.

Jiang Yuhan also said: A few days ago, the pirates of the Wa Kingdom also sent people to contact the Haichao Gang, saying that if the Great Song Dynasty sailors destroyed them on Liangtang Island, I am afraid that it will be difficult for this Huangcheng Island to have a stable day. They hoped that the Haichao Gang could help them cooperate against the Great Song Sailors, but they were sternly rejected by Jiang Yuhan, although the Haichao Gang was unwilling to serve the Great Song Dynasty, but they were also Han Chinese, and they would not join forces with the Goryeo and Japanese to deal with the Han Sailors. Besides, they have not provoked the Great Song Dynasty on Huangcheng Island, and the Great Song Dynasty Navy Division should not risk huge losses to attack them on Huangcheng Island, and it is nonsense to say that the lips are cold and the teeth are cold.

It's just that Jiang Yuhan said that the Goryeo people and the Japanese people are all cruel by nature and will be revenged, but he is afraid that when the Great Song Dynasty sailors withdraw, the people along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty will suffer even greater disasters. Although they are unwilling to be Great Song people, they are still quite sympathetic to the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
