Located between the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, the Shamen Islands are composed of 32 islands of different sizes, which just separate the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and there are countless large and small bays and straits. Zhao Min was driven by Jiang Qin www.biquge.info through it, but seeing that the mountains were dangerous and the reefs were dense, people who were not familiar with the sea conditions might not be able to get around this labyrinthine island group at all, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, no wonder the pirates kept suppressing them. Indeed, as long as pirates enter the archipelago, the large fleets of officers and men cannot enter, and the small fleets may not be able to take the pirates; Even if you have the ability to take down pirates, if you hide in the sea, where do you go to find him in the vast sea?

The island where Zhao Min and Zhu Pujia took refuge was probably a small island southwest of Turtle Island in the archipelago, and it was not as far away from the mainland as Zhao Min imagined. Jiang Qin tied the cable to help Zhao Min, Zhao Min waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, and slowly stood up and walked ashore. In fact, after a few hours of rest, Zhao Min felt that he had almost recovered, but there was still some vanity under his feet, but at least his actions were fine.

The dock is called Tian Hengshan Wharf, which is an important cargo distribution center along the coast of Donglai, located about 20 miles north of the county seat of Zhihuang County, Donglai County. It is not only a wharf, but also a lively market due to the concentration of goods and the development of freight. Zhao Min and the others bought three horses in the market to travel, and bought a few changes of clothes. Fortunately, Zhao Min's storage ring has some money, otherwise Jiang Qin, a poor bastard who came to join the army, plus Zhu Pujia, a young lady who never carries money with her, the three of them would really be stumped by thousands of dollars.

The three of them galloped all the way along the official road, Zhu Pujia can be said to be like an arrow, Zhao Min was also worried about the situation in Jimo, but he came to the gate of Huangxian County in half an hour. Coming to the city gate, Zhao Min suddenly stopped with his horse's head. Zhu Pujia overtook her in a trance, but then she also stopped and looked at Zhao Min in surprise.

Zhao Min looked at the girl with a smile, but his smile was a little bitter: "Miss Jiao'er, I am under your care all this way, Min dare not or forget." However, there is no feast in the world, you will go back to the house, Min is also concerned about the situation of the jurisdiction, and he really doesn't dare to stay for a long time, so why don't you leave it at that! ”

The girl's face obviously showed a huge loss, and she asked in a distracted manner, "You don't go home with me?" ”

Back home? Go to see Nagisa Ming Nagisa Taishou? Zhao Min suddenly felt a panic for no reason: "This ...... Min is expected by all the people under his jurisdiction, and he really doesn't dare to stay longer, besides...... Besides, as a prince, Min visits important ministers who are not fiefdoms for no reason, and I am afraid that it will cause criticism, so it is better not to go. ”

As soon as the words came out, I saw that Zhu Pujia was crying, and it seemed that tears were about to roll down in the next moment. Zhao Min's heart was sour, the little girl set off from the island and didn't say a word, and she only gently pulled her sleeves on the boat, and only occasionally looked at herself The tenderness in her eyes made him feel warm. He could feel the girl's dependence on him, and he didn't want to pity her? Zhao Min himself doesn't know what kind of relationship this is, is it a dependence after life and death? Or is it the heartfelt attachment after saving each other's lives? It's a pity that I'm still fledgling, and it's too early to say anything. But looking at the pitiful appearance of the little girl, she still couldn't harden her heart after all: "Miss Jiao'er, it's just a temporary farewell at this time." I promise you, when I have time, I will come to see you, okay? ”

Only then did Zhu Pujia burst into tears and laughed: "This is what you said!" Don't be laipi! ”

"I promise, I promise it's not bad." Zhao Min had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, he has been a human being in two lives, and he has more than forty people in his life, how can he still be like a child.

Zhao Min gritted his teeth and was about to turn around and leave, but Zhu Pujia suddenly turned back, stuffed something into Zhao Min's arms, snorted, and pretended to be vicious and said: "Stinky boy, take this close to you, it won't be so stinky in the future!" Then he turned his horse's head and went straight to the city.

Zhao Min looked at the back of the little girl for a while, looked down, and saw that he was holding a cyan sachet woven with embroidery thread in his hand, which also exuded the girl's body temperature, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Then he shook his head, turned to Jiang Qin and said, "Let's go on the road too!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Huangxian is not too far from Jimo, and it is even closer to Jimo than Juxian County; And all the way was an official road, and the horses galloped, and the two finally arrived at Jimo City at noon the next day.

This is the first time Zhao Min has ridden a horse to drive such a long way, along the way, he only feels that the bones all over his body seem to be scattered, the inner thighs of the two thighs are almost gone, and he almost stood unsteady when he got off the horse, but fortunately, Jiang Qin quickly helped him, so he didn't lie on the ground in public.

Along the way, Zhao Min was also thinking, if the pirate's action this time was really related to Lu Xu, according to the old boy's character, he would definitely not simply have this trick, and there must be a backhand. So if you go back to the city with great fanfare, will you startle the snake and scare the other party into not daring to act? Therefore, Zhao Min decided not to rush into the city first, and inquire about the situation outside the city. Of course, there is another reason why Zhao Min is so determined not to enter the city first: the main quest that has not changed for a long time in his mind has been refreshed:

Mission Name: Dismantle the conspiracy

Duration of the mission: three days

Brief description: Your excellence has aroused the vigilance and jealousy of many forces, and they are ready to attack you! You must dismantle the conspiracy against you within three days, or you will be doomed.

Reward: 50 points

…………

Zhao Min took Jiang Qin all the way into the camp in the east of the city. Because this is a strict military management area, Zhao Min is not worried about being discovered, so he swaggered into the barracks. A small colonel had already welcomed Zhao Min into the tent, and then Zhao Min learned that Zhao Yun was not there, and the current commander of the barracks was temporarily replaced by Wei Ying, so he asked Wei Ying to come over, and he waited in the tent.

Less leaning, Wei Ying strode into the camp. Seeing Zhao Min at a glance, Wei Ying showed a look of ecstasy and knelt down on one knee: "The last will participate in the King of the North Sea!" ”

Zhao Min smiled and stepped forward to help Wei Ying up: "They are all robes who live and die together, why is Zhijie here?" ”

Wei Ying glanced at Jiang Qin, who was standing behind Zhao Min, Zhao Min understood, and said with a smile: "Gong Yi is a warrior in my army, and he is also a benefactor who saved me from fire and water, Zhijie has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Hearing this, Wei Ying hurriedly saluted Jiang Qin and thanked him, but Jiang Qin didn't dare to do it, and then Wei Ying brought about the situation during this period of time.

It turned out that Zhao Min was nowhere to be found after the pirates attacked, and the dragons in the water camp were leaderless, so they hurriedly sent people to report to Jimo. When Zhao Min was not in Jimo, Meng Hou was in charge of the house, and he was shocked when he heard the news. Meng Hou immediately convened everyone to discuss, decided to temporarily block the news, and sent people to inquire everywhere while continuing to search in the waters of Jiaozhou Bay. Since Zhao Min's body was not found, it is not unlikely that Zhao Min is still in Jiaozhou Bay, Shao Qi, Zhao Yun, Zhang Han, Xu Ming and others couldn't hold it back, and they all asked for orders to go to Jiaozhou Bay, and Meng Hou couldn't dissuade him, so he had to decide to sit in Jimo by himself, and Wei Ying was temporarily in charge of the military camp, and the rest of the people went to the waters of Jiaozhou Bay. It has been seven days since Zhao Min's disappearance in a blink of an eye, in fact, everyone is gradually feeling hopeless, and there are some rumors below, when people are panicking, Zhao Min suddenly came back by himself, how can he not make Wei Ying ecstatic! You must know that if Zhao Min really has an accident, not to mention the future, he will be extremely lucky to be able to save his life.

Zhao Min fell into deep thought after listening to Xiaoying's report. Not to mention that Shao Qi and the others were his confidants, even Zhao Yun cared so much about him, which really moved Zhao Min deeply. Thinking about Meng Hou's approach, it is undoubtedly correct, the news of his disappearance really cannot spread, after all, he is the prince, although it is not inconspicuous, but it also affects the nerves of the big people in the DPRK and China from time to time, once it is confirmed that he has an accident, he does not know what will happen. Zhao Min looked at Wei Ying, who was still overjoyed, and asked, "Does Zhijie know if there is anything unusual in the city?" ”

Maybe the topic is too big, so Wei Yingleng paused for a moment before replying: "The last general rarely enters the city, and I really don't know what's wrong; However, Shao Cao Peng said when he was leaving, if there is something, he can find a person named Qu Jin in Si Wen Cao. ”

Zhao Min nodded and said, "Then please trouble Zhijie to send someone to inform the people of Jiaozhou Bay of the news of my return, and then invite Mr. Meng and this person named Qu Jin to the military camp, and say that there is something important to discuss." After a pause, he added: "The news of my return is not yet known, Zhijie needs to send a confidant to go, don't leak the secret!" ”

Wei Ying simply hugged his fist: "The last general understands, please rest assured that the King of the North Sea!" After saying that, he turned around and strode away from the tent.

Zhao Min said to Jiang Qin with a smile: "Gongyi is strong in martial arts, and he is familiar with military books, are you willing to succumb to the position of deputy lieutenant in this battalion?" Well, it's the lieutenant just now. "In fact, the structure of generals in the army is not very reasonable, and the key is that there is a shortage of talents. Zhao Yun commanded the whole army, Zhang Han led the personal guards, and Xu Ming led the water battalion, not to mention, only let Wei Ying lead the troops of thousands of people, with his current ability, it is still a little reluctant, Zhao Min's mind Wei Ying should only be in charge of one of the spear battalion or the sword and shield battalion, so to gradually divide the power in the hands of Wei Ying, Jiang Qin's arrival is just an opportunity.

Jiang Qin hesitated: "The order of the King of the North Sea, Qin does not dare to disobey." However, Qin Zhi's director is fighting on the water, and he is afraid that his ability to unify the army is insufficient. ”

Of course, Zhao Min knew that Jiang Qin's specialty was water warfare, didn't you see that even the characteristics in his attribute display were marked as 'water generals'? It's a pity that the water camp has other uses now, and it can't be handed over to Jiang Qin for the time being. So he shook his head with a smile and said, "Gongyi's words are bad!" As everyone knows, if a general does not know astronomy, geography, Qimen, yin and yang, does not look at the formation map, and does not control the troops, he is a mediocre talent! Gongyi I is a talent, how can there be a difference between a navy and an army? Besides, Gongyi has only joined the army, even if he is better at water stations, he should first familiarize himself with the environment in the Chinese army, get close to his colleagues and soldiers, and let him out to lead an army alone in the future. ”

Jiang Qin lowered his head and thought, but Zhao Min didn't urge, just looked at him with a smile. In fact, it is not difficult to understand this reason: officials who have been delegated from the central government to local areas can usually be like fish in water, while those who have been promoted from local governments to the central government are often like dragons trapped in the shallows. Why? It's nothing more than a network! Jiang Qin is a smart man, and it should not be difficult to understand this. Sure enough, Jiang Qin only thought about it for a moment, then nodded and agreed, Zhao Min comforted him with kind words, and then ordered someone to take him to rest first.

Zhao Min ordered someone to boil a pot of hot water in the camp, planning to take a good bath. I haven't taken a shower for seven days in a row, and the smell on my body makes me frown. And all kinds of escapes, soaked in the sea, crawling in the mountains, and the clothes on his body have long been tattered.

Zhao Min took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub, and the comfort of soaking his whole body in hot water made him breathe. He tilted his head to look at the cyan sachet on the changed clothes beside him, remembered the little girl frowning and said, "Why are you so stinky!" A warm smile unconsciously flowed from his lips.
