Chapter 475: Cao Bin's Shock
Cao Bin wandered aimlessly around the camp and found that the people here should be very rich, the clothes they wore were clean, and most of them were red and had no food.
And these people, regardless of gender, old and young, are full of energy, most of them have smiles on their faces, and they greet each other very warmly. is not like the low-level people of the Great Song Dynasty, who are either full of sorrow or insensitivity.
These people didn't know Cao Bin, but seeing that Cao Bin was dressed very neatly, like a teacher, many people nodded to Cao Bin, and Cao Bin had to return the salute one by one.
Cao Bin is wearing the clothes sent by Zhao Zizhong today, which were sewn by Jiang Wuniang herself. Although the fabric is just ordinary linen, after Jiang Wuniang's careful production, the clothes fit very decently.
Cao Bin followed the passage to the door of a small red brick building. He saw more than a dozen women in the open space in front of the door making strange movements slowly.
Cao Bin stopped and looked at the women curiously.
He saw several middle-aged women in their forties, a few young women in their twenties, and seven or eight other women were young girls in their teens.
He looked at it for a while and felt that these movements seemed to be practicing a kind of boxing technique, but these women's movements were all slow, how could there be such a boxing technique in the world?
He saw a young woman in her twenties in the middle of the crowd, giving people a feeling of amazement. She was dressed in green clothes and wore a simple bun on her head. But she has a slender figure, a good face, and a very outstanding temperament, which looks very graceful and luxurious.
Cao Bin was surprised, there was such an outstanding woman on this island where the bandits were entrenched, it was really incredible.
She felt that this woman was full of noble demeanor whenever she raised her hand and foot, and she was definitely a noble lady cultivated by a wealthy family. But how did she come here? Was it also captured? Cao Bin was puzzled.
After a while, the women seemed to have finished practicing, and after talking for a while, they dispersed.
Cao Bin watched the woman in green clothes greet others and walked to the east alone.
Cao Bin couldn't help but follow her, wanting to see where she was going.
The woman's steps were very light, and after walking about a hundred meters, she entered a wooden house.
Cao Bin walked to a place more than twenty meters away from the wooden house, then stopped, and looked at the wooden house thoughtfully.
After a while, someone spoke behind him: "Uncle, have you eaten?" What are you looking at here? ”
Cao Bin turned around and saw Li Jilong, who was sweating profusely and drenched.
"You're going to practice martial arts?"
"Yes, uncle, I get up early every day and go to practice martial arts with An Dalang."
"Who is An Dalang?"
"He's the head instructor of the Seven Seas Corporation's escort team, which means the head of the guard. His martial arts are the strongest here, have you ever seen him? He has a tall nose and deep eyes, and his figure is very burly, and his ancestors are from the Shatuo Turkic tribe, so he is very similar to the Hu people. ”
Cao Bin remembered that when he was captured on the ship, there was a tall man who looked like a Hu man, and he pinched his neck so hard that he almost strangled himself to death.
This bastard should be An Dalang that Li Jilong said, Cao Bin was a little annoyed, so he reprimanded Li Jilong: "You said that you are not good at learning martial arts from whom, not from that arrogant and rude Hu Ren?" Didn't your father hire a famous teacher for you? I really don't know what to say. ”
Li Jilong saw that Cao Bin was angry for no reason, and he was a little confused, could it be that his uncle suffered a loss at the hands of An Dalang? Well, it must be so, maybe my uncle was caught by An Dalang on the battlefield.
The more Li Jilong thought about it, the more likely it became, so he was stupidly happy.
Cao Bin was a little puzzled, isn't this kid stupid? Can you laugh when you are trained by yourself?
Cao Bin coughed a few times and stared at Li Jilong with an unkind face.
Li Jilong came to his senses and changed the topic: "Uncle, have you eaten?" ”
"I haven't eaten, and I can't find a place to eat."
"Then you won't ask anyone, will you?"
"I don't know anyone, who am I going to ask?"
Li Jilong patted his head, "Hehe, I was negligent, I'm sorry, uncle, I'll take you to the cafeteria to eat now." ”
Cao Bin grabbed Li Jilong, pointed to the wooden house and asked:
"Li boy, let me ask you, do you know who the woman in that room is?"
"That room, I think about it, it should be Emperor Zhou E."
"Emperor Zhou E? What is she? ”
"He is Li Yu's mother-in-law, and he is the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
"Huh?" Cao Bin was shocked, "You say she is Li Yu's queen?" This is impossible, isn't Li Yu's queen already dead? You're not lying to me, are you? ”
"Uncle, I'm idle, what's the benefit of lying to you? She is Emperor Zhou E, I really didn't lie to you. ”
Cao Bin shook his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible." Emperor Zhou E must be dead, this woman cannot be Li Yu's queen. ”
"It's really Emperor Zhou E, why don't you believe me, uncle?"
Cao Bin asked: "You say that she is Emperor Zhou E, but why did Li Yu tell the world that her queen is dead?" How do you explain this? ”
"Hehe, uncle, Emperor Zhou E was secretly stolen from the palace in Jinling City. Then we found a corpse that was about the same size as Emperor Zhou E, put it in her house, and then burned down Emperor Zhou'e's house, so Li Yu thought that Emperor Zhou E was dead. Who would have known that we had stolen Emperor Zhou E? ”
Cao Bin obviously didn't believe it, "What you said is not credible, if you really got Emperor Zhou E out of the palace and sent it here, then these bandits will definitely spend a lot of effort, as well as a lot of money and materials, and the risk is extremely high."
Is it possible to risk offending a lord of a country just for the sake of this woman? So what you're saying is definitely a lie. ”
Li Jilong was a little anxious, "Uncle, I definitely didn't tell a lie, she is Emperor Zhou E." If you don't believe me, I'll take you to her and let her tell you personally. ”
Cao Bin was a little displeased: "You kid is talking nonsense again, what do I have nothing to do with a woman?" When we meet, I ask the identity of the person, so am I not a disciple? What a ridiculous idea. ”
Li Jilong was a little helpless: "Uncle, you don't believe what I said, and you don't go to confront Emperor Zhou E, so what should I do?" I'm really not lying, can you just believe me? ”
Cao Bin saw Li Jilong's aggrieved appearance, and felt that he was a little embarrassed for this child. After all, he was only sixteen years old.
Cao Bin patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's go eat." ”
Li Jilong had no choice but to take Cao Bin to the cafeteria, and after breakfast, the two returned to Li Jilong's wooden house.
"Uncle, what are you going to do during the day? I'm going to study at the academy in the morning, so I can't accompany you. ”
"Academy? There is also a academy here? Cao Bin was surprised.
"Of course, there is an academy, which was built by a few big businessmen in Jinling City to train talents for us."
Cao Bin thought to himself, it seems that the ambition of this group of pirates is not small! They actually set up a college? Do they also want to dominate the world? Just by virtue of this projectile land? Is it possible?
"Then I'll go to the academy with you." Cao Bin said calmly.
Li Jilong changed into clean clothes, "Okay, anyway, the academy doesn't stop outsiders from attending classes, so I'll take you there." ”
Li Jilong took Cao Bin out of the camp and walked deeper into the valley.
Cao Bin walked with Li Jilong all the way, looking at the scenery in the mountains all the way.
The eyes are full of verdant mountain forests, all kinds of wildflowers are blooming in the forest, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.
Cao Bin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hey, it's a pity that such a beautiful place is occupied by a group of pirates.
"Hey. Small plums. Slow down, wait for my brother! ”
There was a shout behind him, and Cao Bin turned around to watch, and a young man in his twenties ran over from the mountain road behind.
"Yanai, what are you running? Is there a tigress chasing you from behind? Ha ha! Li Jilong joked with a smile.
The young man caught up with Li Jilong and Cao Bin out of breath, "Little Lizi, what are you doing so fast?" Who is this gentleman? You don't introduce me either. ”
Li Jilong said with a smile: "Yanei, I'll introduce you, this is my uncle, the official worships the Great Song Dynasty Zuo Shenwu General, the privy envoy, and his name is Shangcao Xiabin." ”
The young man arched his hand casually: "I've seen General Cao, I don't know if you're still used to living here?" ”
Cao Bin saw that this young man was thin, his face was delicate and fair, and the smile on his face was a little intriguing.
Cao Bin returned the salute, "I don't know who this is?" ”
Li Jilong replied: "Uncle, this is Gao Yanei, his father is an official who worships the Tang State Household Minister, he is a good friend of the younger nephew, and he is also studying in the academy. ”
Cao Bin suddenly felt in his heart, it seems that Nantang has a deep connection with this group of bandits, and even the son of the household servant was sent, probably as a hostage. It is very likely that Nantang and the pirates have some secret deals.
Cao Bin exchanged a few polite words with Gao Yanei expressionlessly, and then walked towards the academy with the two of them.
Turning a corner, into a wide valley. It is a large-scale complex of buildings, with white walls and tiles hidden among the trees, which is very spectacular.
"Uncle, this is the academy, how is it good?" Li Jilong said proudly.
Cao Bin was shocked, what a big deal! How much manpower and material resources are needed to build such a large-scale complex? Could it be that these pirates really have the ambition to win the world, so they built such a magnificent academy.
Li Jilong looked at Cao Bin's stunned appearance and felt very proud. Uncle is completely a dirt bun who has never seen the world, is he dumbfounded?
Li Jilong smiled and said, "Uncle, let's go in." Classes will start in a moment. It is said that today Chief of Staff Boris wants to tell you the story of Western countries, he has told some before, and everyone loves to listen to it, so we went in early and occupied a few good positions. ”
