Chapter 315: Farewell

The first day of the ninth month of the first year of Qiande (963 AD)

In the morning, the pier in the east of Qishan Island.

The pier was crowded with guards who were about to depart, and everyone lined up and boarded the warship in an orderly manner, ready to go to sea to take revenge.

Zhao Zizhong looked at all this seriously, and his heart was full of pride.

On this voyage, he took with him eight hundred soldiers, ten warships, and a dozen merchant ships, which were loaded with various supplies to supply the fleet.

Du Dalei stood proudly behind Zhao Zizhong, and kept boasting to Taiqin: "I said monk, don't you know, the heavy infantry team I lead is like a humanoid tank." On the battlefield, we can go on a rampage, tear apart all the tight formations, and make them scattered, and you have also seen our plate armor, which cannot be cut by swords, arrows, and guns.

The last time the pirates attacked, it was I who led the heavy infantry to charge the battle, and soon cut through the pirates' line and beat them all away, hahaha! Do you say it's awesome? ”

Tai Qin asked puzzledly, "Lord Dushi, what is a humanoid tank?" Sounds amazing. ”

Du Dalei continued to boast: "The tank is a kind of chariot, it is wrapped in a thick iron plate on the outside, and there are several fighters in it who are manipulating, constantly shooting arrows and throwing *. Kill all the enemies, hahaha! ”

"How come I haven't seen such a chariot?"

Boris came over and said, "Monk, he's bragging, there are no tanks at all, he's talking nonsense." ”

Du Dalei was unhappy: "Hey, I said Lao Bao, as the saying goes, 'expose people without revealing shortcomings, and hitting people without slapping their faces'." How do you find faults? I have not sinned against you. ”

Boris didn't care about this second cargo at all, he said to Taiqin: "Monk, Lao Zhao said, let you get on my boat, don't take care of this guy." ”

Du Dalei pulled Taiqin and said with a smile: "Monk, you better come with me, Boris is as boring as fast wood, you will definitely die of boredom if you get on his thief ship." ”

Taiqin was a little in a dilemma, Zhao Zizhong turned around and said: "Master, you should follow Boris, he is steady, unlike Xiao Du, who is always frizzy and frizzy, and often takes risks for no reason." ”

Du Dalei said loudly: "Boss, what's wrong with me? Although you are the eldest brother, you can't always bury me, right? Beware of me suing you for slander. ”

Zhao Zizhong glared at him: "This is a military order, and you are not allowed to bargain." If you don't comply, stay on Qishan Island and don't go out. ”

Du Dalei immediately deflated, and said flatteringly: "Boss, don't do it!" Little brother, I know it's wrong, if you want to beat or scold, take me there! ”

Zhao Zi was angry: "Hurry up, get on the boat immediately, don't let me see you again." ”

At this time, a group of people came to the dock, all of them women, and a few children.

"Uncle, wait for me!"

Zhao Zizhong heard the immature child's voice, looked back, and saw the puppy stumbling towards the dock, followed by Xing'er.

And Jiang Wuniang, Fu Hongyu, Wanqiu and a group of girls walked over here.

Zhao Zizhong hurriedly jumped off the trestle, ran over to the puppy, and picked up the dog.

"Boy, why don't you study in the academy, what are you doing here?"

"My mother said that you are going to take someone to fight pirates, so my mother and sister are here to see you off!"

Zhao Zizhong touched Xing'er's head and smiled at Jiang Wuniang who came over:

"It's okay, you don't have to worry. I'll bring everyone back safely. ”

Wanqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, we believe in you, but you have to keep an eye on my man." As long as he encounters an enemy, he will definitely be the first to rush forward. ”

Wanqiu held her slightly bulging abdomen with her hand and whispered, "Mr. Zhao, in a few months, the child in my belly will be born, please look at Zhai Xiaoshan and don't let him take risks." ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically and said solemnly: "Don't worry, this time I will let him be the commander of a detachment, and I will definitely not let him engage the enemy in close combat." ”

Fu Hongyu looked at Zhao Zizhong blankly beside her and didn't speak.

Du Dalei smirked behind Zhao Zizhong, Zhao Zizhong had the heart to tease them, so he said to Fu Hongyu: "Fu Niangzi, I can see it, don't you want Da Lei to go?" ”

Fu Hongyu lowered her head and didn't speak, Du Dalei hurriedly said, "Boss, don't bring this!" Am I sure it's not enough to be obedient? ”

Zhao Zizhong ignored Du Dalei, and still said to Fu Hongyu: "Fu Niangzi, as long as you don't let him go, I will leave him behind." ”

Fu Hongyu raised his head and said firmly: "Mr. Zhao, my Fu Hongyu's man must be a man who stands up to the sky, he will definitely not be a bad seed, and I will not stop him." ”

Qi Jiuniang applauded in the back: "Hongyu is so right, there is no man on Qishan Island who is a bad seed!" But Fan Jinchun is excepted. ”

Everyone laughed and looked at Fan Jinchun, who came to see him off.

Fan Jinchun was very helpless, Qi Jiuniang, this woman is really too disagreeable, since the last pirate hostage-taking incident, she has been preaching everywhere that she is a bad seed.

Most of the people on the island knew about it, and everyone laughed at Fan Jinchun. But what can I do? I can't look for the bad luck of a woman with a big mouth. Besides, she is still the concubine favored by the head of the family, and she can't afford to mess with others!

Cui Daoshu followed Cao Deshun to Jinling a few days ago, no one suppressed Qi Jiuniang, she was a little self-aggrandized, and she became more and more unscrupulous.

Zhao Zizhong also had a headache and didn't know how to treat Qi Jiuniang. Seeing this, Jiang Wuniang hurriedly pulled Qi Jiuniang aside, and then whispered, "Jiuniang, don't say it again." With so many people here today, let's save a little face. ”

Qi Jiuniang had a lot of respect for Jiang Wuniang, so she obediently shut up.

Du Dalei walked up to Fu Hongyu and nodded lightly: "Hongyu, I promise you that you will not do anything dangerous, you wait for me to come back." ”

Fu Hongyu's eyes were red, and she said with a smile: "I will definitely wait for you, you will be blessed and have a great life, and you will definitely come back safely." ”

Zhao Zizhong said to Fu Hongyu: "Fu Niangzi, I promise you that I will keep an eye on Du Dalei and not let him be in the slightest danger." When we get back, we'll do your wedding. ”

The dog in Zhao Zizhong's arms was gone, and he protested loudly: "Uncle, you can't do this!" Aunt Fu still has to wait for me! ”

Zhao Zizhong was very strange: "What are you waiting for?" ”

"She's going to wait for me to grow up so she can marry me."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

Du Dalei was so angry that he was like thunder: "Good boy, I bought you candy a few days ago, and I want to dig into the corner of Lao Tzu today?" Sister-in-law, you don't care about your son, you will play hooligan and tease his aunt at such a young age. ”

Tai Qin listened in confusion, not knowing what the relationship between these people was.

Jiang Wuniang took a sip of Du Dalei: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, what are you competing with children?" He doesn't look like an uncle at all. ”

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Du Dalei looked around and asked puzzledly: "Why didn't An Dalang come to see us off?" ”

"He was not happy, we all went out and left him, the militant, at home," Boris said. In the past few days, he has nowhere to vent his evil fire, and he has abused the newly recruited rookies, and he has been tossed to death every day. ”

Du Dalei smiled: "Lao Bao, Da Lang is full of evil fire, do you think you will toss Xia Rongniang?" He's going to take it easy, don't hurt the kid, hahaha! ”

Boris shook his head and immediately walked away from the second goods.

Zhao Zizhong looked up at the sky and whispered softly to Jiang Wuniang: "Wuniang, you take them back, we are leaving." ”

Jiang Wuniang nodded, and took the dog from Zhao Zizhong's hand: "You also have to be careful, you have to eat on time, and don't drink cold water." ”

Zhao Zizhong smiled, pinched Xing'er's face, turned around and walked towards the dock.

Du Dalei hurriedly whispered a few words to Fu Hongyu, and then ran away in a hurry.

Boris boarded his ship with the monk Taichen and ordered the guards to prepare for departure.

The sailors began to get busy, methodically untying the cables, pulling up the iron anchors, and slowly raising the sails.

"Toot, toot."

A sharp brass whistle sounded, and the first ship slowly left the dock and headed southeast.

Then the five warships docked on the pier left the dock in turn, followed the first warship, and headed for the deep sea.

Zhao Zizhong stood on the deck of the third warship and looked towards the dock. He saw that the people who saw him off had not yet left, and many of them were desperately waving to the warship.

Soon, the people on the pier turned into small black dots one by one, and then disappeared.

Zhao Zizhong collected his mood, turned around and said to Guo Jintao: "Old Guo, you can implement the predetermined plan." ”

Guo Jintao nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, we will soon meet up with the warship that departed from the northern dock." ”

Zhao Zizhong asked, "Where is the supply fleet?" ”

"The merchant ship is slow, and it has already set off first. Once we have joined up with the other ships, we will soon catch up with the supply fleet. ”

Zhao Zizhong asked again: "Have the routes been confirmed?" ”

"Mr. Zhao, I have been to Fujian several times before. In addition, the Cui family also found a few old sailors who were familiar with the route, and they should be no problem with them as guides. ”

"How's the situation with the captives?"

"They all said that in order to get the opportunity to join the escort team, they will fully cooperate with us to find the pirate's lair as soon as possible and wipe out Lin Xiwang's gang."

It turned out that before leaving, Zhang Hong proposed to select a few people from the pirate captives who had no great evil and had performed well in the labor reform, let them make meritorious contributions to their crimes, and help the escort team find Lin Xiwang's lair, and then break away from the identity of the captives and become members of the escort team.
