After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, got on the boat and set off, and Wang Zhiren took ten personal soldiers and Wang Shang on a gunboat. Although Wang Zhiren was the nominal commander of the fleet, the soldiers on the two warships did not listen to him at all.

After entering the shipyard, Wang Zhiren asked Wang Shang, "Now that we are on the ship, what should we do?" ”

"Uncle, that's all there is to it. This afternoon, you will ask King Lu about his food, clothing, and shelter, take his own soldiers to the passenger ship, and then exchange his own soldiers with King Lu, and let King Lu return to this ship in the clothes of his own soldiers. ”

Wang Zhiren nodded, and hurriedly called in his ten personal soldiers to start arranging. These ten personal soldiers are all outlaws fed by Wang Zhiren with silver, plus their families are in the hands of Wang Zhiren of Dinghai, so there is no way to be obedient if they don't want to.

Wang Zhiren came to see King Lu in a small boat on the afternoon of the first day.

King Lu's car is very spacious, this ship is a passenger ship between Guangdong and Nanzhili, there are ten high-class guest rooms on board, and King Lu's family of more than 10 people lives here. King Lu's family is very simple, Zhu Yihai originally had two younger brothers, but because he fled in a hurry, the two younger brothers were lost in Shaoxing, Zhu Yihai only brought his two concubines Zhang and Chen, plus the sister of the concubine Zhang escaped, and the rest were servants.

In history, the main concubine Zhang died in childbirth on the way to escape, and Zhang's sister later became Zhu Yihai's step-concubine, and the second concubine Chen was also the mother of the next generation of Lu King Zhu Honghuan. Now the concubine Zhang is five months pregnant, and Zhu Yihai has had several children before, but as he is displaced, he either dies of illness or dies in the chaos, so Zhu Yihai is very concerned about Zhang, for fear that something will happen.

At this time, someone outside reported that Wang Zhiren, the escort of Dinghai, came to offer condolences and wanted to ask to see King Lu.

Zhu Yihai had a headache when he heard it, he knew that the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty system could not see the minister casually, let alone the officer who led the troops, so Zhu Yihai let the servant go out and said that he was not feeling well and was not ready to see Wang Zhiren.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhiren had to see Zhu Yihai with a dead face, and in the end, Zhu Yihai had no choice but to meet him in the guest room.

After Wang Zhiren came in, he asked a few innocuous words, saw that there was no one in the cabin, and whispered: "Lord Wang, don't make a sound, listen to me carefully!" ”

Zhu Yihai saw that Wang Zhiren was so mysterious, and he also had a bad premonition in his heart, so he hurriedly listened carefully to what Wang Zhiren said.

"Lord Wang, I received news that someone wants to be unfavorable to you!"

"What? Is Zhu Hongsan trying to harm me? Zhu Yihai was shocked after hearing this, he didn't expect that the broken lieutenant Fengguo still refused to let him go, could it be that what they said in Dinghai was a fart?

"This subordinate doesn't know, the subordinate came to inform King Lu, also for myself, if King Lu is in trouble, the subordinate will definitely become a scapegoat, so please King Lu to believe the lower official!"

Lu Wang Zhu Yihai is not a waste, otherwise he would not have been able to resolutely come out to be a prisoner in Zhejiang. Zhu Yihai knew that Wang Zhiren was right, if he was going to die, he would have to come out as a scapegoat, and the escort general was naturally a suitable candidate. So Zhu Yihai and Wang Zhiren are now two grasshoppers on a rope, they want to die together, they want to live together, what should they do when they get to Guangdong? Let's talk about it when we get there!

"Okay, Lord Wang, this king will believe you, when do you think that bastard Zhu Hongsan will do it!"

"According to the analysis of this official, you should be able to do it in the outer sea of Fujian, King Lu, you and Emperor Longwu have always been on good terms, and if something happens in Fujian, you can completely push it to Emperor Longwu!"

Zhu Yihai gritted his teeth and said: "This Zhu Hongsan, I didn't expect to be so ruthless!" General Wang, what do you want to do? ”

"Xiaguan brought ten personal soldiers, Xiaguan dared to ask King Lu and his personal soldiers to exchange clothes, there are personal soldiers pretending to be you, King Lu and I returned to the gunboat together."

"But what about the king's concubine?"

"Chitose, when is this, when is it not a woman, can I live to Guangdong!"

Zhu Yihai thought about it, but when he thought of the pregnant concubine Chen, the second concubine Chen, and the beautiful sister-in-law, he was really reluctant.

"General Wang, no, you must find a way to get the king's two concubines and his wife and sister away, otherwise the king won't leave!"

Seeing Zhu Yihai's determination, Wang Zhiren had no choice, so he had to answer that he should use three personal soldiers instead of three princesses, anyway, at sea, plus women in this era can't go out of the door, as long as they don't go out, it should be no problem.

After the agreement, Zhu Yihai asked his two wives and sister-in-law to be called, and then changed into the clothes of his own soldiers. Fortunately, the three women were very tall, and they filled their clothes with some cotton, and they couldn't be seen from a distance when they put on their felt hats.

In this way, Wang Zhiren unknowingly got Zhu Yihai's family on the gunboat, and then got them a cabin, saying to the public that his four personal soldiers were seasick, so that King Lu's family stayed in the house and did not come out.

Once things are ready, the next step is waiting to see. Zhoushan is very close to Fujian, and it will take three days to reach Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and after replenishing fresh water and vegetables in Wenzhou, the fleet began to enter Fujian. Because the Guangdong Navy Division and the Zheng clan in Fujian did not deal with each other, they did not dock to replenish supplies when they passed through Fujian, and tried to pass through Fujian quickly.

On the second day of entering Fujian, just as the fleet passed through the sea off Fuzhou, King Lu's car began to enter the water at night. Because it was at night, everyone on board found it late, and the Jinyi Wei agent on board deliberately did it, and the passenger ship quickly sank into the deep sea.

Wang Zhiren, who received the news, held back his heartbeat and hurriedly ordered people to start salvaging the body of the fake King Lu.

But that era was not a later generation, there was a search on the vast ocean, the search and rescue ships were busy for two days, and the body of King Lu was not found, Wang Zhiren had no choice but to continue to Guangdong with the fleet.

Hiding in the cabin, King Lu's family heard that the ship really sank, and scolded Zhu Hongsan while not being afraid, it seems that Zhu Hongsan really wants his own life, he escaped this time, and I don't know if he can escape next time.

After a few days, Wang Zhiren saw that the rumor had passed, and found an opportunity to meet Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu.

Zhu Yihai's first sentence asked what to do in Guangdong!

Wang Zhiren and Wang Shang also discussed this matter for a long time, and finally Wang Shang came up with a way to make things bigger.

Wang Zhiren said: "Lord, if you want to survive, you have to make things bigger, when you arrive in Guangzhou, you and the princess will have to put on a full set of honor guards, and then everyone in Guangzhou will know that King Lu is coming, forcing the King of Chu not to dare to start, so as to ensure that King Lu's life is worry-free!" ”

Zhu Yihai thought about it, this is also a way.

"King Lu, and you must grasp the opportunity, you can only come out when you get to the dock, there must be Jinyiwei's secret agents on the ship, if the matter is exposed outside the dock, I am afraid that they will take risks!"

Zhu Yihai's face turned pale with fright, and he nodded again and again, saying that he would definitely come out after arriving at the dock.

In fact, Wang Zhiren guessed correctly, there were really Jinyi Wei spies on the ship, and they received an order to do it if things didn't go well. However, Wang Zhiren did a very good job of secrecy, and Jin Yiwei watched King Lu's ship sink to the bottom of the sea, and they thought that King Lu was dead, so the surveillance of Wang Zhiren on the ship was also relaxed a lot.

King Lu came to Guangzhou without danger.

Twelve days after leaving Dinghai, the two remaining gunboats in the fleet finally arrived at their destination, Guangzhou.

The Lu family in the cabin had already prepared, and when the ship docked, they immediately put on a full set of princely clothes and walked out.

The sailors on the ship were stunned when they saw such a guy coming out of their ship, and the first to react was the secret agent of Jinyiwei, they were shocked, but they didn't expect King Lu to be dead.

A Jinyi guard spy shouted: "They are fake, we obviously saw King Lu sink to the bottom of the sea, this is fake, everyone quickly arrest him and go to the official!" After saying that, he brought people to prepare to come forward to arrest King Lu, and these spies were ready to take advantage of the chaos to kill King Lu directly on the boat for a while, and then report that a person who pretended to be a vassal king was killed.

But they didn't expect the governor on their side to turn against the water, Wang Zhiren saw that things were not good, and immediately stood up and said: "Don't do it, everyone, I guarantee that this King Lu is true!" He was brought on the ship by me, and I received news that someone was going to assassinate King Lu, so I secretly protected King Lu on the order of King Chu, this is absolutely true! ”

Hearing what his commander said, the crowd on the boat who did not know the truth quieted down one after another, and the Jinyi Wei secret agent mixed in the sailors had no choice but to send someone to hurry into the city to report to Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu, that he knew. At this time, the people on the dock saw that there was a mess on the ship, and they came over to see what was going on. You must know that Guangzhou Wharf is now the busiest wharf in South China, with tens of thousands of people every day, and it doesn't take much effort to gather a large number of people.

Zhu Yihai stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the crowd on the dock, and knew that he was temporarily safe, and the next step was to let Zhu Hongsan know that he was not a threat at all, so that he could live.

Zhu Hongsan is now busy in the palace of the king of Chu, and now the Qing army has occupied the whole of Zhejiang, and it is about to enter Fujian, and now Zhu Hongsan wants to transfer a large number of materials and troops to Nanxiong Mansion to hand over to Zhang Jiayu, and he must defend the north gate of Guangdong.

At this time, Cao Fang came to see Zhu Hongsan. After entering the house, Cao Fang saw that there were people in the military aircraft department in the house, and said: "Master, there is a secret report from the Jinyi guard in front of me, and I want to present the master alone!" ”

Zhu Hongsan was stunned in his heart, alone? In the past, Jinyiwei had everything to be transferred by the Military Aircraft Department, how did he find Cao Fang this time? Could it be that Qian Lide and Cao Fang colluded?

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "You lead them to the back, and I'll see them in the back!" ”

Cao Fang went out and led the secret agent of the brocade guard to a separate room in the backyard, Zhu Hongsan was sitting in the room, and Zhu Hongyi was standing behind him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"
