To the east of Guangdong Province, near the Pearl River, there is a clearing among the barren weeds, and in the center stands a new grave, full of messy paper money, white flags waving in the wind, planted around the tomb, and the tombstone is engraved with Shi Mingzhi's tomb.

It has been three days since Shi Mingzhi was buried, and in the three days, as soon as the city gate was opened at dawn every day, Gao Yuxiu hurried past with the sacrifices and went straight to Shi Mingzhi's cemetery.

At this moment, Gao Yuxiu has been repeating the unified action of the three days, worshipping Shi Mingzhi, throwing the paper money into the brazier one by one, her face is pale, her lips tremble slightly, and she mutters to herself, not knowing what she is saying.

In just five days, Gao Yuxiu's whole person has lost weight, and her face is even more haggard, and Lin Daiyu in the Dream of Red Mansions is nothing more than that.

Zhao Min stood behind him, his little face did not have the slightest expression, his eyes showed worry, he was silent from beginning to end, and he was very sensible and waited quietly. There seemed to be a smell of empathy lingering on her petite body, so that she never persuaded and disturbed Gao Yuxiu, just accompanied and followed left and right.

The two subordinates stood far away, walking back and forth, guarding the surroundings, guarding against uninvited guests and protecting the safety of the two people.

However, what the four of them didn't notice was that about a hundred meters away from them, in the grass, two people were hiding inside, silently watching all this. There was not the slightest hostility on the expressions of the two, their expressions were different, their reactions were different, and they talked in whispers from time to time.

"Brother Shi, Miss Gao has been like this for three days. Moreover, the two days of your feigned death were also two days of vigil, and you did your filial piety with the etiquette of your children, and you rarely ate. ”

As soon as he heard this, the other person's expression was very moved, and he did not respond to the words of the speaker, as if he was recalling the past, his expression was a little dull, and he muttered to himself.

"Yuxiu lost her mother since she was a child, I watched her grow up, and treated her like her own daughter. Whenever her father went out on a mission, he was basically entrusted to my house. Therefore, the relationship between Yuxiu and my family is very good, not inferior to the love of parents and relatives. ”

The two people in the grass were Yang Lin and Shi Mingzhi, but they were both disguised, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find their true faces. A coarse cloth dress, and his face was deliberately dirty. Not only that, but the two also wore straw hats, shielding their faces from the sun while also covering their faces.

At this moment, when Shi Mingzhi was thinking back, when it came to emotion, he couldn't help but walk forward, wanting to walk towards Gao Yuxiu, with a look of pity and pampering, more worry and missing. However, as soon as he took one step, he was pulled by Yang Lin.

"Brother Shi, if you go to see Miss Gao now, all our efforts will be in vain, and all our plans will be abandoned halfway. Some of Miss Gao's performances, if she is not sad enough, are likely to arouse the suspicion of others. Subsequent plans will not be carried out, and the implementation process will be fraught with danger and uncertainty. ”

"Brother Shi, think about your family, don't affect their rescue because of impulsiveness and emotion. Moreover, there will be time in the future, and you and Yuxiu will have the opportunity to meet. ”

"Don't worry, I will take care of Yuxiu and won't let you down..."

Immediately, as Yang Lin's last sentence fell, Shi Mingzhi's worry really dissipated, and the footsteps he had just taken were instantly suspended in the air, and he took back after a long time, and took a deep look at Gao Yuxiu, then turned his head away, with a resolute face, and a trace of reluctance and pity.

Yang Lin also glanced at it, and after confirming that there was no danger, he followed, and followed closely behind, and the two walked in a certain direction.

On the Pearl River, three cargo ships were driving on the river, sailing in the direction of Macao, but following the change of wind direction, they also turned around, heading to a strange area, on a cargo ship in the middle, in the cabin, Yang Lin and Shi Mingzhi sat opposite each other, Shi Mingzhi drank wine in frustration, filled with loneliness.

Yang Lin was very indifferent, and after taking a sip of red wine, his tone was solemn and serious. said slowly: "Brother Shi, there is no need to be like this. We've only been friends for a short time, but I know a little bit about you. Over the years, for the Qing court, it can be said that you have done your best and done better than anyone else. ”

"Not to mention anything else, take the green battalion of the Guangdong Navy Division as an example, you, the general soldier, should have a clear conscience, very competent, and the combat effectiveness of the subordinate department is second to none, and the absolute main force in suppressing bandits has made too many meritorious contributions. But what do you and your men get? There is only death except death, and there is not even a single commendation. ”

These words seemed to poke Shi Mingzhi's sore spot, causing him to resonate, and he poured himself a glass of spirits, his voice trembled a little, and all the bitter water in his heart poured out, complaining to Yang Lin.

"I want Shi Mingzhi to be a general soldier of the Qing Dynasty and the commander of the Green Battalion. Whenever there is a battle at sea, when you fight with pirates, which time is not the first time to rush to the front with your brothers? Damn, every time he was about to win, Sun Chuanmou replaced the green camp and ordered his henchmen to seize the last battle merits! ”

"The Manchu family? Damn, the bullshit Manchu family, what they say is good. They are all deceitful and foolish to the people. It's really in fact, everything is close to the children of the Eight Banners, and the benefits are all full of people. What happened to the Han Chinese? Han people are also people, look at the place where the Qing Dynasty belongs, most of them are Han people. ”

Maybe it was because the strength of the wine came up, Shi Mingzhi's words were more unscrupulous, and some old things also poured out, filling his mind, making his dissatisfaction even stronger, his voice louder, and the frequency of drinking faster and more violent.

"Although my grandfather worked as an errand in the former Ming Dynasty, he later returned to him, and also helped Kangxi recover Taiwan, clear the relics of the former name, so that the southeast coast will no longer suffer from war, exempt these Tartars from worries, and make great achievements."

"It's really a cunning rabbit to death, the lackeys are cooking, as soon as Taiwan is subdued, the last remnant of the former Ming Dynasty is cleared, and I began to squeeze out my grandfather everywhere. In the end, he actually ascended and descended secretly, and was sent to this place, far away from the capital, and was never reused again. ”

Hearing this, Yang Lin was a little surprised, and thought of a person, a famous figure in the Kangxi period, a person who could fight well at sea, and one of the few generals in the Qing court who knew how to fight in naval warfare, and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Brother Shi, could it be that your grandfather is the famous Shi Lang, the general who is proficient in all kinds of battles on the sea?" ”

As soon as these words came out, if I realized something, I secretly speculated in my heart that the two people had the same surname, and the possibility of the same person was very high. Shi Mingzhi's next words verified what Yang Lin thought in his heart.

"Yes, Shi Lang is my grandfather. Although his background was a little disgraceful and he betrayed the Ming army in Taiwan, it was also forced and helpless. ”

When Shi Mingzhi was drinking, when he stopped talking for a short time, Yang Lin took over the conversation and echoed the feelings of the year, and his words were very sincere and unpretentious.

"Regarding the eldest brother's grandfather, the younger brother has also heard a little about it, and has heard of some of it. Thinking of the Zheng father and son who retreated to Taiwan, during the Kangxi period, they had long been corrupt, and there were constant internal strife, and they did not hesitate to poison the ministers of the humerus and murder the generals of the defenders, just for their own selfishness. ”

Shi Mingzhi was very surprised, a little stunned, he didn't expect Yang Lin to know his grandfather so clearly, he knew so much, almost no less than himself, and suddenly felt a sense of confidant, and hated each other. Yang Lin's next words were even more to the point, expressing his heart, and saying some things that he didn't dare to say and couldn't say for a long time in his heart.

"The so-called king regards his ministers as siblings, and his ministers regard him as his heart; The king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and his ministers regard him as thieves. So, there is nothing to say about betrayal and non-betrayal, not to mention that they also destroyed your grandfather's family, and they were unkind, nothing more. ”

The sound of speaking was so loud and sonorous, echoing in the cabin, which made Shi Mingzhi's spirit shocked, and he woke up in an instant in a slightly drunk state, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Lin directly, with an unbelievable look on his face. (To be continued.) )
