Chapter 235: A Maritime Battle by Mistake

Xiao Yu'er slowly walked to Qin Fei's side and chuckled: "With your cultivation, don't say that I came over, even if someone turns it over. The wall entered the yamen of the prosecutor's hall, and it couldn't hide it from you. The ninth princess didn't expect it...... I really don't know if it's to say she's simple and good, or if she's ......."

Qin Fei lightly put his hands behind his back and leaned against a big tree behind him. Before calling Wen Po, he had asked Xiao Yu'er, as the successor of Mei Gong's mental method, no one had more say in matters between men and women than Xiao Yu'er. What's more, now that the pirates of the East China Sea have been attached, Ji Ru has swaggered into Cui Qixiao's house, and Xiao Yu'er is even more righteous in the yamen of the prosecutor's office.

Professionals naturally have professional knowledge, Xiao Yu'er carefully recalled all the records about male and female fertility in the classics, and finally came to a very simple conclusion - if this woman was not a practitioner of Mei Gong, it would be impossible to achieve a male advantage. In other words, in Xiao Yu'er's known world, only herself and Ji Ruxi have such a ability to ensure that they can conceive a boy.

Qin Fei always felt a little uneasy, so he asked the most famous old woman in Anzhou to ask, and sure enough, the old woman Wen's reply was only to improve the chance of having a son, but it could not guarantee that she would have a son.

The prince is a dead end that cannot be solved without giving birth to a son, maybe the prince himself is not sure, but will Princess Wuyang from Wu Guolai see it this way?

"Look at the ninth princess, when she was in the palace, the prince treated her very well. I was afraid that this girl would be worried, so I ran to talk to the prince. Qin Fei cautiously commanded.

Xiao Yu'er pursed her lips: "Since you are afraid that the Ninth Princess will talk nonsense, then you shouldn't let her know so many things at all." ”

Qin Fei smiled incomprehensibly and walked straight towards the front yard. Xiao Yu'er suddenly remembered, Qin Fei was not afraid of what the Ninth Princess would say to the prince at all, if he used the mouth of the Ninth Princess to remind the prince that Wuyang was no different from laying an egg if he didn't give birth to a boy, but it was more convincing than what others said. Of course, the ninth princess really said it, and the prince knew that Wuyang's matter had been exposed. If the ninth princess doesn't say it, it means that this girl has followed Qin Fei with all her heart, and she can't drive away. There is a gain and a loss, and each has its own benefits. Qin Fei's little abacus is only called a fine one!

"I'm afraid that I was a bookkeeper in my previous life, I'd rather die than suffer a loss, and try my best to take advantage!" Xiao Yu'er muttered and walked towards the front yard.

"Governor Qin Zhen......" Before the two of them walked out of the small courtyard, some people shouted everywhere to find Qin Fei.

The people in the Prosecutor's Office were very respectful to Qin Fei and didn't dare to slack off. The ones who can scream so indecently in the yamen are the pirates who have just surrendered. Ren Pingsheng and others are still cleaning up on Shunfeng Island and making arrangements. In order to show his sincerity, his son, Ren Dao, was the first to come to the prosecutor's office. This is a scene for the court of Chu State, ostensibly letting Ren Dao be a hostage to express his commitment to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei frowned: "Don't shout, come here." ”

Ren Dao ran over like a smoke, but saw Xiao Yu'er walking slowly in the distance, so he immediately closed his mouth.

Qin Fei knew that he didn't trust anyone in the prosecutor's hall now, so he let Xiao Yu'er go first, took Ren Dao into the study, and asked, "What's going on?" It's noisy in the yamen. ”

Ren Dao described it vividly. It turned out that after accepting Qin Fei's surrender, Ren Pingsheng had already begun to gather his family members and subordinates inside and outside Shunfeng Island to prepare to count the number of people and warships. On the way back to Shunfeng Island by a group of ships stationed on the periphery, a large ship was strangely found.

As people who have been begging for a living on the water for many years, they have good eyesight. On the surface, this is a merchant ship, but in fact, this ship is refitted, it is a large war ship. An old sailor estimated that if the battle began, the merchant ship would be able to strip off all its camouflage and turn into a warship in a cup of tea.

The pirates who discovered the strange situation did not act rashly, but cautiously searched the surrounding waters, and sure enough, after searching a large area of the sea, they found another disguised ship. The two ships are a certain distance from each other, but in the eyes of these experienced sailors, these two ships are like twin brothers, who believes that they are not born to one father?

The pirates immediately sent someone back to Shunfeng Island to report to Ren Pingsheng. And Ren Pingsheng is a very decisive person, and he never drags his feet when he comes up with ideas. Immediately give the order, personally lead the battleship, and go to capture the two ships. You must know that now Ren Pingsheng only verbally agreed to surrender to Qin Fei, and they were also worried that the Chu court would play any tricks, and suddenly saw two modified warships in the sea, so it was better to fight them down first. It doesn't matter if it is the warship of the Chu State Naval Division, strictly speaking, one day before the edict of the Chu Emperor arrives, they are still pirates. No matter what they have done in the past few days, as soon as the edict arrives in a few days, everyone will be innocent, and the people they killed before will be written off with a unified pen.

Qin Fei asked in surprise, "Is there anything strange about those two boats?" ”

"Governor Qin, you guessed right. You know, it was my dad himself, and we shared three, four, and seven boats to round up. And the two ships, having discovered our hostility, quickly approached each other and tried to escape. Joke, the naval battle commanded by my father himself, if they ran away, would he still be a general? ”

Qin Fei interrupted him: "Praise, boasting, these words will be said later, let's talk about the battle situation first." ”

Ren Dao sighed and said honestly: "As soon as the fight started, as we expected, the two warships appeared in their original form almost immediately. There were more than 500 officers and men on the two ships, equipped with small trebuchets, crossbows and other heavy weapons. Moreover, their ships are new and very sturdy. And most of ours are old ships, and many times, they can't see that they can't run away, so they simply drive the boat to collide...... Our old bone boat, colliding with them, that's really a loss. In this way, on the surface of the sea, I went round and round and fought with them for more than three hours. ”

Qin Fei exclaimed in surprise: "Three hours? No way? You don't have to work so hard to beat the water division of Chu State. ”

Ren Daoyi slapped his thigh: "I said the same thing, but after I returned to Shunfeng Island and inquired carefully, and listened to my father talk about the situation at that time, I knew that it was not so simple." ”

"Those two ships are the invincible general ships that Wu Guoshui just completed last year. In principle, it is used as a flagship for the commanders of the naval fleet. A total of five ships were built. If it weren't for my father's personal command that day, and his subordinates were all elite soldiers, they might not be able to eat them. Ren Dao is a teenager's temperament, and he doesn't forget to damage the people of Chu if he brags about it: "If you change the East China Sea division of Chu State...... Hmph, if a fleet goes, it may not be able to stop the two ships. ”

"And then?" Qin Fei suddenly became interested, the battleship of the Wu Kingdom, and it was also a flagship-level heavy battleship, actually came to Anton from all the way from the south and appeared near Shunfeng Island. Recently, it happened to be the critical moment of Ren Pingsheng's surrender, what kind of chaos did these Wu people add to at this juncture?

Ren Dao continued: "My father commanded the battleship, and while avoiding the enemy's powerful attack force, he approached in a roundabout way, and finally could board the ship to fight. As soon as our people got on the boat, they gasped, and there were many people on board. Those are all soldiers selected by the Wu State Sailor, although they are dressed as sailors, most of them have soft armor on their bodies, and they are well-armed and well-trained. On board there is almost a fight for every inch of land, from the deck to the cabin, from the bow to the stern. Even my father took action himself, and only then did he completely defeat those Wu people. ”

"After counting, there were more than 530 soldiers and sailors on the two ships, more than 270 were killed on the spot, and more than 100 were missing. I guess it was jumping into the sea, alas, that piece of the sea can't swim to the end, and nine times out of ten it becomes a snack for sharks. Almost all of the rest were wounded, and all of them were taken prisoner. It's been a tough fight, and I really regret not being able to make it to this big fight. Ren Dao sighed.

"Our people, what about the casualties?" Qin Fei asked solemnly.

The words "us" made Ren Dao feel very comfortable, and Qin Fei did not immediately ask about the origin of those Wu officers and soldiers, but was concerned about the casualties of the pirates, which made Ren Dao feel that Qin Fei and them seemed to be in the same group.

Ren Dao sighed: "More than 80 people died, more than 100 were injured, one boat was sunk, and another one was seriously damaged. ”

"Brothers who have died, report the list, and I will pay a bereavement pension according to the death of the battle, and if they have family members, they will pay the money to the prosecutor's office every month in the future." A trace of sadness appeared on Qin Fei's face.

Ren Dao nodded: "I wrote it down, by the way, before the serious matter was finished, after destroying the two boats, Wu Guoren sank a big iron box into the sea." My father thought it was strange, so he immediately sent someone into the sea to scoop up the box. The box can be locked from the inside. ”

Qin Fei said: "It seems that someone on the ship doesn't want to be found out, and he is not afraid of death, so he simply locked himself up and sank to the bottom of the sea." ”

"How can it be so easy, in our hands, if we want to sink into the sea, we have to pass the level of our sailors first. The box was halfway into the water, and dozens of people jumped here. ”

Ren Dao deliberately sold a pass: "There is indeed someone in the box, but my father didn't let others see it, he took a look at it himself, and sent someone to tell me, let me inform you, go to Shunfeng Island quickly." ”
