Wu Jie's evacuation, Wu Qixian's special combat battalion, which had just escaped from the pursuit of the Ming army, did not know the situation, while tightly attracting the attention of the other party, while constantly sending team members to try to contact Wu Jie and them.

Ancient communication was so backward, placed in a fixed place Hongmen also has a relatively complete and expensive carrier pigeon system support, but in this kind of battlefield that often needs to change, it is a little difficult for Wu Jie and Wu Qixian to get in touch with each other.

Wu Qixian and the others were still worried about the loss of the goods of the Northern Merchants, but Wu Jie and the others had already thrown off Wu Qixian and them, and quickly returned to the direction of Dayuan Island with these five two thousand ships.

By the time Wu Jie sent scouts and worked hard to find Wu Qixian, the special operations battalion led by Wu Qixian had already lost more than 200 soldiers at this time.

There is no way, not only to ensure the overall safety of one's own side, but also to attract thousands of pursuers behind him to chase and kill, and it is already commendable that the special operations battalion has been able to hold on to this point.

Moreover, this kind of mobile combat is the special operations battalion's forte, and unconsciously, the other party was chased and killed all the way, and was attacked by the special operations battalion, traps and other endless means, eliminating almost a thousand people, making the later pursuers suspicious and suspicious every step they took, and the pace of march became slow, which also reduced the pressure on Wu Qixian and them a lot.

"Division, commander, have they already succeeded?"

When Wu Qixian got the news from the scout, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, when he knew that Wu Jie and they had evacuated, he was not annoyed and angry because he was abandoned by him, but he was more surprised, he didn't expect Wu Jie to be so lucky, he just happened to meet the northern merchant ship that was about to be transported ashore.

"The division commander told you to evacuate quickly, and they also sent a sea boat to meet you at the next contact point!"

"Understood, let's go take a rest after working hard!"

After Wu Qixian had no scruples, he was finally able to retreat at this time, and it was very heartbreaking to think about the comrades-in-arms who had unfortunately died for various reasons along the way.

The training of a qualified special combat team member requires not only strong and personal physical fitness, but also skills such as lurking, assassination, tracking, trap making, etc., although this kind of frontal combat is also considered the strength of the opponent, but in many cases it is more than worth the loss, and the sacrificed soldiers are more than they perform various more difficult tasks.

With Wu Qixian's order, the special combat battalion that had been playing hide and seek with the Anhui army of the Ming Dynasty in circles before rose sharply at this time and quickly disappeared into the hilly area of Ningde County.

The news of this attack on the Ming Dynasty army in Ningde County soon spread to the Yamen of the Fujian Governor of Quanzhou, which was only a hundred miles away from Ningde.

The officials below Xiao Yifu, the governor of Fujian, were furious at these bold and reckless people who suddenly appeared in Fujian, and issued strict orders to the military attachés of the garrison posts under their jurisdiction, asking them to quickly find out what kind of person the other party was and whether they were related to the northern bandits.

And behind the huge investigation on the bright side, Li Tianyang, who took the initiative to go to the governor's yamen some time ago, was summoned by the governor Xiao Yifu again this time.

Li Tianyang walked into the location of the governor's yamen, and found that the movement here today was a little strange from usual, and the officials who used to laugh and laugh with him were all wandering in their eyes after seeing Li Tianyang at this time, and they didn't dare to look at him.

Li Tianyang's expression was as usual, ignoring this, and still with the same expression as usual, he politely greeted every official of Yujian.

When he came to the governor's official residence, Futai Xiao Yifu was already waiting for him in the hall.

At this time, Xiao Yifu lost the grace and leisure of the previous literati, and looked at Li Tianyang who slowly entered the door with a blue face and unkind eyes.

"Lord Futai!"

Li Tianyang made a military salute, but Xiao Yifu didn't feel that Li Tianyang had been neglected for a long time, and at the same time, his eyes never left Li Tianyang.

After being silent for a long time, Li Tianyang was stared at by this Futai lord, although he knew that the other party was likely to be suspicious of his affairs in Ningde, but Li Tianyang was not worried or afraid at all.

"Tell me the truth, does Ningde's matter have anything to do with you?"

Xiao Yifu finally reacted, and after a long sigh, he began to ask questions faintly.

"Lord Futai Mingjian, since the humble duty has been attached to my Ming Dynasty, I dare not say that I have merit, but the hard work of guarding my Chinese sea frontier and not making the Japanese invade the territory must be able to see Lord Futai!"

When Li Tianyang heard this, he hurriedly put on an expression of loyalty and courage, and immediately made a statement to Xiao Yifu.

At the same time, Li Tianyang's words revealed a faint sadness, as if he felt aggrieved by Xiao Yifu's doubts about himself.

"Although Ningde is guilty of not being strict in guarding the land, he will never dare to do such a rebellious thing."

Xiao Yifu's eyes were unpredictable, and his heart was also full of contradictions.

He always had a feeling that the bandits who attacked the Ming army in Anhui this time had a deep relationship with the middle-aged military attache standing in the hall at this time, but he really didn't want to believe it.

The Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, and the situation in the north was already crumbling, if the largest sea gang group in Nanyang really had two hearts at this moment, and knew it and the soldiers under its command, although they seemed to be much weaker than the peasant army in the north, the destructive power they could cause was greater.

There were no people from the Wa Kingdom and Western Yi who came to buy silk, tea, porcelain and other goods from the Ming Dynasty, and only relied on the digestion of the Ming Dynasty itself, what could it do!

There are so many scruples, so that even if Xiao Yifu wants to knock Li Tianyang, he must master a little bit of proportion, at most he will only intimidate him like now, and he will not even dare to call the other party for the rest.

If Li Tianyang really didn't want to mess around with him, the governor of Fujian, and said with a backface that he did it, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

Originally, he was not very authentic, and after Li Tianyang asked him to embarrass the northern firm's delivery of goods team, he did nothing out of selfishness or public intentions.

Now, if the northerners really forced their Hongmen dogs to jump over the wall in a hurry and use such violent and risky methods, Li Tianyang must have already prepared for the worst in his heart.

"That's it, no matter whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, now the matter has to be explained in the end, you, as my Fujian Navy Admiral, have the responsibility and obligation to share the worries and solve problems for this official!"

"You are limited to ten days, catch this group of daring people, life or death!"

In the end, it was Governor Xiao Yifu who gave in and gave Li Tianyang this arduous task, which actually meant that he had already made the intention of calming things down.

"No!"

The corners of Li Tianyang's mouth curled, and he replied with a clear expression.
