"Fire!"

Mao Chenglu shouted, and the six cannons on both sides of the big ship ignited at the same time, and there was a chaotic sound of "bang bang bang", these six cannons plus the ship can be regarded as the signal agreed with Kong Youde.

Together, there was movement in the opposite city.

A group of men and horses came out of the city in the afterglow of the setting sun, about two hundred people, all of them clearly draped, the leader of the group rode on a big horse, tall, dark-skinned, it was the leader of the rebels, Geng Zhongming.

"Why is Geng Zhongming alone?"

Mao Chenglu was a little suspicious, but it was not the time to retreat, so he could only bring the boat close to the harbor, and then dropped anchor and took everyone ashore.

Geng Zhongming got off the horse early, saw Mao Chenglu laughing, and said, "Uncle came here today, but I want to kill my little nephew." ”

Geng Zhongming is about forty years old, and he looks slightly older than Mao Chenglu, but it is not wrong to call Uncle Mao Chenglu.

For the hair?

Because of one person: Mao Wenlong.

When Mao Wenlong was in charge of the Dongjiang River, there were countless elite soldiers and fierce generals, in addition to Huanglong, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu, Li Jiucheng, Shang Kexi, Chen Guangfu and others.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Manchu Tartars slaughtered more than 100 people in the hometown of Anshan, the owner of Mao Island, and as a result, the owner of Mao Island became a lonely family.

Mao Chenglu Kenneng became Mao Wenlong's first godson because of his surname Mao, and his name at sea was "Mao Da", of course, there were many other godsons.

Mao Wenlong lacks family affection, so in addition to liking his godson, he also likes to recognize his grandson.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are both grandsons.

In this way, whether it is Geng Zhongming or Kong Youde, it is normal to call Mao Chenglu "uncle".

"Gimbal Ah!" Mao Chenglu held Geng Zhongming's hand, tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, the muscles on his cheeks twitched several times, and finally he couldn't help crying loudly: "Yuntai, you have to avenge me." ”

"Wow, wow, wow......" Mao Chenglu fell to the ground crying bitterly and knelt on the cold sand, this dignity did not have the slightest flaw even in Su Baiyi's eyes.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Geng Zhongming didn't have any suspicions, but now seeing Mao Chenglu crying so bitterly, he was a little stunned, and then looked at the forty or so ragged soldiers behind him and the half-beaten warship, and finally realized: "Uncle, what about the aunt, what about the family?" ”

"Woooooooooo......oo I'm afraid my life will be short! Mao Chenglu grabbed Geng Zhongming's hand: "It's all Huanglong, a dog thief, and I don't know where I got the news, so I preemptively plundered my family, woo woo woo ......" Mao Chenglu beat his chest and cried loudly: "If I hadn't run fast, I would have gone to see my father-in-law at this moment!" ”

"This ...... Why, aunts, they ......."

"All caught!" Mao Chenglu's tears are like sea water that doesn't want money, and they keep gurgling down.

Su Baiyi estimated that on the one hand, it may be that the acting skills of this product are really not covered, on the other hand, thinking that if this fraud is not successful, his family will inevitably die, and it is normal for people to be sad.

Under the intersection of the two, it is not surprising that tears are welling up.

"Yuntai, you must avenge me, go, you go and order troops, let's kill back now, if you don't cut Huanglong's bastard with a thousand knives, my surname Mao will be cut by a thousand knives!" Mao Chenglu stopped crying, and his tone revealed a strong hatred, which was as cold as the north wind on the sea.

"This ......" Geng Zhongming smiled a little embarrassed: "Uncle, this, think about it in the long run, think about it in the long run!" ”

"Nope! Gimbal! Mao Chenglu took his hand stiffly: "I have silver, cannons and firearms, and I secretly brought a few barrels of gunpowder, Yuntai, I will give them to you, you must help me avenge me." ”

"Uncle, go back to the city first, and when Ruitu (Kong Youde) comes back, let's discuss it in the long run."

"Ritu?" Mao Chenglu seemed to suddenly think of something: "That's right, what about Ritu, why didn't Ritu come?" One by one, they are generalissimos and governors, and when the officials become bigger, they look down on me as an old uncle? ”

"Uncle!" Geng Zhongming smiled bitterly on his face: "Isn't this a little messy, Ruitu and I were originally here to welcome you, who would have thought that you didn't come around noon, Marshal Li couldn't attack Laizhou for a long time, so he hurriedly transferred Ruitu over." ”

"Oh!" Mao Chenglu breathed a sigh of relief.

Geng Zhongming said: "Uncle, follow me into the city, you have been frightened all the way, the little nephew has prepared wine and food, and you will be shocked!" ”

"Not busy!" Mao Chenglu waved his hand: "Yuntai, although we are uncles and nephews in private, but the public is public and private, Yu Gong, this time I Mao Chenglu came to join you, since you are here, you can't break the rules." He waved his hand back: "Lift it up." ”

Forty brocade guards, including Su Baiyi, all acted as temporary coolies, carrying boxes of gold and silver off the big ship and placing them on the shore, lining up in a row and opening the boxes, the gold and white flowers were dazzling.

"This ......" so much gold and silver is enough to make Geng Zhongming's eyes dizzy: "Uncle, you are too polite." ”

"Alas......" Mao Chenglu shook his head, and glanced at Su Baiyi intentionally or unintentionally: "The whole family has fallen into the hands of the rats, and it is difficult to survive nine times out of ten, what is the use of me Mao Chenglu asking for these yellow and white things?" I said that I would bring 7,000 people and horses back, but now all the people and horses are lost, and only these belongings are left, so please don't be surprised. ”

"Where, where can the uncle come, Yuntai and Ritu are very happy, how can they blame, dare not blame, dare not blame." Geng Zhongming looked at the sky: "Let these brothers all go into the city together, and they won't get drunk tonight." ”

"Good!" Mao Chenglu said: "The cloud platform makes people look at the boat, and there are hundreds of firearms and gunpowder on the ship!" ”

……

Dengzhou City is built on the seashore and dominates one side. When Mao Wenlong sat in the Dongjiang River, Sun Chengzong strongly suggested that the Emperor of the Apocalypse set up the second mansion of Denglai, in order to deal with the important towns of Liaodong and Dongjiang, and later Yuan Keli served as the governor of Denglai, and built this place into a naval and army base, and now Yuan Keli is gone, but Dengzhou City is still the military center of the entire Shandong Peninsula.

The city is not high, but there are more than a dozen cannons on each wall, and Shandong is the production base of the entire Daming firearms, so the defense of Dengzhou City can be said to be impeccable, if it were not for Chen Guangfu and Geng Zhongming to raise fire in the city to secretly open the city gate, not to mention Kong Youde's 800 cavalry, even 8,000 could not be broken.

Su Baiyi walked into this young city, stepped on the stone slab step by step, and finally walked to the "Marshal's Mansion" in Dengzhou City in the endless politeness of Geng Zhongming and Mao Chenglu.

The current Marshal's Mansion is actually the location of Sun Yuanhua's office before, and it belongs to the Yamen of the Governor of Denglai.

"Uncle, please!"

Geng Zhongming did not have the slightest precaution, let forty people enter the marshal's mansion, and then set up five tables of wine and food in the hall, at this moment the sky was already dark, the candlelight in the hall was bright, and there were already several people waiting here.

"Uncle is here!" A man in his thirties ran out of the room, followed by four or five dark-skinned men, each of whom had a heavy murderous aura, and at a glance he knew that he was a person who rolled out of the sea of blood in the sword mountain.

"Ying Yuan, you kid hasn't seen you for a few years and is getting stronger and stronger!" Mao Chenglu patted Li Yingyuan on the shoulder, and suddenly pulled Su Baiyi over and said: "Yuntai, Yingyuan, I forgot to introduce just now, this is my new staff general Su Bu, if it weren't for him, my life surnamed Mao would have been left at sea, thanks to General Su's rescue." ”

"Oh!" Geng Zhongming's narrow eyes swept over Su Baiyi's body, and his gaze was like a knife: "What a heavy bookish atmosphere, is General Su a scholar?" ”

"Shame shame!" Su Baiyi arched his hand and said with some embarrassment: "Su is just a boy who has failed the four attempts, and the fortune teller said that the villain lives Kewen Quxing, so he can only put pen to paper, and wants to follow a few generals to do a career!" ”

"Throw a pen from Rong, well said!" Geng Zhongming stared at him with a smile: "I'm afraid I don't know, Little Brother Su, we led the troops to capture Dengzhou Mansion, and Shandong was in chaos, this is a business of rebellion and killing, aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid!" Su Baiyi replied very directly: "But wealth and nobility are all taken in danger, and Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Li Shanchang and others were not also engaged in the business of killing heads, if there was no courage at that time, where would they come from the generations of wealthy families who retired with the country?" ”

"Hahahaha!" Geng Zhongming said: "Well said, well said, if he creates a great cause in the future, Brother Su should also be the founding minister, come on, come, I will introduce you to you!" As he spoke, he pointed at Li Yingyuan: "See, this Li Gongzi is the eldest son of Generalissimo Li Gong, if we really break this day, and when Generalissimo Li sits in the Dragon Court, Li Gongzi will be the prince at that time." ”

Li Yingyuan laughed twice, and arched his hand: "Uncle, General Su, and all the brothers, please inside, the wine and food have been prepared, and the bricks will be used to wash the dust for the brothers." ”

The group walked into the hall, Su Baiyi accompanied Mao Chenglu and other Dengzhou generals to sit in the first place, and the rest of the brocade guards sat scattered at the four tables below.

There are not many dishes, and the main dishes are seafood.

Geng Zhongming looked at the seafood on the table with a smile and said, "Everyone, old Geng, I have a good mouthful, from a snack to a big one." ”

"This Bao'er is made of a gimbal again?" Mao Chenglu asked.

"yes!" Li Yingyuan said: "Brother Geng cooks by himself, and the taste is very fresh." ”

"Eat it, try it all!"

Someone specially filled the wine, Su Baiyi put a piece of abalone in his mouth and tasted it, and then nodded: "Yes, Geng Dadu has a unique skill." ”

"Hahahaha!" Geng Zhongming laughed again, looked at Su Baiyi and said: "The world is impermanent, I was born in Gaizhou, Liaodong, and I have been used to living a life of exile since I was a child. Who would have thought that at that time, I, Geng Zhongming, looked at my neighbors with clear eyes, and my biggest ambition in my life was to be a cook? ”
