Chapter 563: Flag Language
"Sakurako-san, can I go in?"
Li Hongyu stopped in front of the cabin where Sakurako lived under the mountain, took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and asked in a deep voice. 『
"Please come in." Soon a crisp voice came from the room.
Li Hongyu smiled bitterly, stabilized his mind and pushed open the door and walked in, to be honest, he didn't want to face Sakurako Yamashita, he had never dealt with such a small woman before.
"Husband." Yamashita Sakurako knew that Li Hongyu would come, so she was waiting for him, and when she saw Li Hongyu, she smiled and bowed to him, "I took the liberty to come this time and disturb my husband." ”
"Don't bother, don't bother."
Li Hongyu hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, and then asked with a smile, "I don't know why Miss Sakurako came this time?" ”
"Husband, I heard since I was a child that Daming has a vast territory and rich materials, so I have always wanted to go to Daming to see but unfortunately there is no opportunity, this time Fujun wants to go to Shanghai County, I want to take the opportunity to go to Daming, to see what Daming is like."
Yamashita Sakurako smiled, looked at Li Hongyu and said, "I know that my husband is going to Shanghai County this time to shoulder a heavy responsibility, so you don't need to worry about me, I'll just go around alone." ”
Li Hongyu couldn't hear anything hidden in Yamashita Sakurako's words, he knew that Yamashita Sakurako had been in the castle tower of Chicken Coop Port for a long time, so it was normal for him to be curious about the outside world.
"The visitor is a guest, since Miss Sakura is interested in Daming, then after I finish the things in hand, I will take Miss to Yangzhou to have a look, which is the most prosperous and wealthy place in Daming."
Therefore, Li Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Yamashita Sakurako with a smile, for him, Yamashita Sakurako's wish was just a gesture, and he naturally wanted to satisfy Yamashita Sakurako.
"Thank you, husband." Hearing this, Sakurako Yamashita suddenly showed a happy look on her face, and thanked Li Hongyu after bowing.
"By the way, there is one thing you don't know, my identity in Daming is a scholar from Huguang, named Li Sheng."
Seeing Yamashita Sakurako bow to him again, Li Hongyu felt strange in his heart, no wonder people often say that the women of the Wa Kingdom are tender and understanding, and they have been training various etiquettes since they were children, and then they remembered something and told Yamashita Sakurako.
"You are the first genius of the Ming Dynasty that the government has been looking for?"
Sakurako's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, "Then Sister Liu is the girl Youlan!" ”
Although Yamashita Sakurako has lived in the castle tower for a long time, she still knows a lot about the outside world, and naturally heard about the kidnapping of Li Sheng, a genius of the Ming Dynasty, and Youlan, the leader of the Jiangnan Oiran Conference, by gangsters.
Now that Li Hongyu admits that he is "Li Sheng", it is not difficult to guess the identity of Youlan who stays by his side, and there is no one else except for the Jiangnan Oiran Conference who disappeared with him.
"Haiye's second son didn't want the third lady to be given as a gift, so he went to Shanghai County to rescue her, and the mistake has become the current situation."
Li Hongyu was very interested in the reputation of "the first genius of the Ming Dynasty", and after smiling, he explained to Sakurako Yamashita that he didn't expect to go to Xiaoliuqiu in this way beforehand, it was purely an accident.
Sakurako Yamashita smiled when she heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu's eyes flashing with curiosity, the man in front of her was shrouded in a layer of fog that she couldn't see through, who would have thought that a teacher who taught in the private school of Jilonggang would be the first genius of the Ming Dynasty!
"The first genius of the Ming Dynasty" is not put forward by Sakurako Yamashita without authorization, but the rumors on the market, since Li Hongyu was kidnapped by gangsters in order to save Youlan, it can be said that he is famous, and his lyrics, songs, calligraphy and paintings are highly respected by readers and loved by people in high society, so he has the title of "the first genius of the Ming Dynasty", and Jiangnan scholars are all convinced.
Jiangnan scholars are the mainstay of the Ming scholars, since the Jiangnan scholars all think that Li Hongyu is the "first genius of the Ming Dynasty", then the scholars in other places naturally have nothing to say.
With the appearance of Yamashita Sakurako, the atmosphere on the boat became subtle, both Li Hongyu and Youlan became a little cramped, but Yamashita Sakurako looked unimpressed, took the initiative to approach Youlan, and called "sister" very affectionately.
Youlan originally liked a cute little girl like Yamashita Sakurako, but now that she knows her true identity and her relationship with Li Hongyu, she is naturally willing to be close to Yamashita Sakurako, after all, they are a family after all.
Therefore, within a few days, the relationship between Yamashita Sakurako and Youlan became intimate, and it can be said that they are inseparable, leaving Li Hongyu aside.
Looking at Youlan and Sakurako under the mountain, Li Hongyu could only shake his head and smile bitterly in his heart, he felt as if he had become an outsider.
On this morning, Li Hongyu and Youlan and Yamashita Sakurako drank tea together, and Youlan talked about some interesting things about Jiangnan to Yamashita Sakurako, which made Yamashita Sakurako listen to it with relish.
"Mr. Zhao, it's no good, there are ships of the official army in front!"
Just as Sakurako at the foot of the mountain was listening to Youlan's narration with great interest, a big man suddenly hurriedly entered the door, bowed his hand to Li Hongyu and reported urgently, "Those ships have already rushed over in a fighting posture after seeing us, sir, it seems that we are going to retreat first." ”
"Officers and soldiers' ships?" Li Hongyu couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand when he heard this, and then understood what was going on.
It's only two days away from Shanghai County, and it must be that Shanghai's sailors are going to sea for training, and when they see an unknown ship at sea, they think they are pirates or smugglers, so they can't wait to try their skills.
Calculating the time, the three naval divisions in Shanghai, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou have been established for nearly two years, and after such a long period of training, they have already formed combat effectiveness.
Yulan and Sakurako Yamashita stopped laughing, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, they didn't expect to meet the ships of the official army here, once those official ships started to fight indiscriminately, the consequences would be bad, after all, there is no way to communicate over long distances at sea.
Bang!
Just then, a dull sound came.
"They fired!" Immediately, an anxious voice sounded from the deck of the ship, "Quick, hurry up and evacuate!" ”
"Tell us to go down, stay put, and our ships will catch up!"
Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and commanded the big man who came to report in a deep voice.
He naturally knew what was going on, although the sailors were not equipped with three-masted warships yet, but each main warship had some artillery, although it was not as powerful as the three-masted warships, but it still had the ability to fight long-range at sea.
According to the operation process of the sailors, the cannon just now is a warning, signaling the ships trying to escape to give up this idea, if those ships do not listen, then the sailors will open fire when they are in pursuit.
"Mr. Zhao, it would be terrible if they opened fire on us." When the big man heard this, he was immediately anxious, and hurriedly said to Li Hongyu, "Let's cover, sir, you and the two young ladies can take the opportunity to escape here." ”
"They fired the cannon to warn us not to move and to be inspected by them."
When Li Hongyu heard this, he knew that the big man was for his good, so he explained quietly, "We are here to see Scholar Li this time, there is no need to escape." ”
"Yes...... What if they take us and ask for credit? The big man hesitated for a moment, and looked at Li Hongyu worriedly, after all, they were pirates.
"Go and prepare two red flags." Li Hongyu knew the big man's worries, so he said to him in a deep voice, "Their sailors can use flags to deliver news, I'll try to make them stop." ”
"Flags?" The big man was stunned when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard of the use of flags to communicate.
"Do as the gentleman wants." At this time, Youlan saw the big man standing in place, and couldn't help but say in a coquettish voice, she must believe that Li Hongyu had a way to stop the boats of those sailors, after all, the sailors were formed by him, and he knew the hidden secrets.
Hearing this, Sakurako Yamashita flashed her big watery eyes, and after glancing at Youlan, who had a calm expression, her eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, as if she understood something.
When the big man heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed to Li Hongyu, and hurriedly left to prepare the flag.
With Li Hongyu's order, the fleet that was about to escape stopped, and the boat that Li Hongyu was riding drove to the front of the fleet, facing the sailor ships coming from a distance.
The current fleet was not ready to flee, and the sailors did not fire any more guns, but slowly pressed towards the fleet in battle formation, and the sailors on board performed their duties and waited for the battle, this was the first time they had encountered pirates at sea, and they were both excited and nervous.
Li Hongyu came to the deck of the ship surrounded by Youlan and Sakurako Yamashita, and stood on the boat under the gaze of everyone, rhythmically waving two simple red flags made of red cloth in his hands.
Of course, Li Hongyu did not wave the red flag in his hand indiscriminately, and he sent flags to the approaching sailor ships to stop advancing.
It was the first time for Youlan and Yamashita Sakurako and others to see the flag, so they were curious and puzzled by Li Hongyu's behavior, could it be that Li Hongyu could use two red flags to make the sailor's boat stop?
However, the next scene shocked everyone, and as Li Hongyu waved the red flag in his hand, the approaching sailor ship actually stopped and confronted the fleet of Jilong Harbor from a distance.
Li Hongyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, he was really afraid that he would meet those stunned young people, and he would rush over to suppress the bandits regardless of the ground, in that case, a scuffle would be inevitable.
Immediately afterwards, a ship of the Sailor Division sailed out of the fleet of the Sailor and came to the front of the Sailor fleet.
From the flag hanging on the ship, Li Hongyu recognized at a glance that the warship was the flagship of the sailor fleet, but he didn't know which sailor general was on it, but since the sailor ship stopped, it was good news, and the rest of the matter became simple.
