Under Lao Ke's order, the "Seahorse" sailed out to the open sea at full speed, and soon the blazing shore became shadowy, like the red glow of the setting sun.

Seeing that there was no boat chasing after him, Lao Ke let out a long breath.

At this time, the pirates did not know that their fate had changed forever with the scene just now.

It's dawn.

The fire had long since been extinguished, the sea breeze had blown away the smoke, but there was still a thick smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the ruins of the walls reminded those who had not slept all night of what was going on there.

Lin Yiqing and Pei Jinquan stood side by side in front of a huge courtyard that had been completely destroyed, watching the heavily armed ship master and sailors search through the rubble.

Although the shelling of the warships of the Great Dry Water Division stationed in the harbor was very accurate, and not a single house was damaged except for the location of the main rudder of the Togarku Gang and the two rudder sites of the Togarku Gang, this sudden battle was still too terrifying for the Ryukyuan people, who had always been peaceful and difficult to fight.

"The people you have trained are really powerful, and they can really be ten with one." Pei Jinquan watched several shipmaster sailors fighting fiercely with the Changle gang gangsters hiding inside at the entrance of a hidden underground tunnel, although the surviving killers of the Changle Gang were fierce, but under the tacit attack of the sailors, they were either killed by thunder bullets or killed by guns, and very few people rushed to the sailors at the risk of death, and injured several sailors with that weird forked sword, but they were immediately knocked to the ground.

"Their marksmanship is good, and their fighting skills have improved a lot, but it's still not enough, and they can't meet the standard of one to ten." Lin Yiqing shook his head. Keep your eyes on the place where the battle is taking place. "Still. In such a short period of time, it is very rare to be able to improve to the current level. ”

"Also, I heard that it took you more than two years to build an elite army for the Sa people. This month's ability to train my subordinates like this really makes me admire them so much. Pei Jinquan smiled, "After Panhanpeng returns to China." It also builds an elite division for our big cadres. ”

"This is natural, this time I have returned to China, and I am going to repay it well." Lin Yiqing smiled and said meaningfully, "I just don't know, it's good that the imperial court doesn't treat me as Xin You'an." ”

After listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Pei Jinquan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the obstacles that Lin Yiqing might face after returning to China

In a short time, all the fighting stopped, and all the remnants of the enemy hiding in the shadows were annihilated. The sailors dragged the corpses to the center of the clearing, lined up neatly, and on the other side. Wounded sailors were waiting for the military physician to see them.

Seeing the white cloth-covered corpses of several sailors lying flat on the floor there, Pei Jinquan regretted in his heart, and his face began to turn blue.

Although this operation was very successful, and his own casualties were very small, he still felt inexplicably uncomfortable, who had always loved soldiers like children.

"Your Excellency, it's all cleaned up." A naval leader ran to report to Pei Jinquan.

"Did you catch the thief chief?" Pei Jinquan asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Hui, I found a secret room underground, with a lot of gold treasures, among which there was a man and a woman, who hugged each other and died, looking at their clothes, they seemed to be thieves." The leader of the sailors replied.

Hearing the answer of the leader of the navy, Pei Jinquan's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Let's go, Hanpeng, come with me to have a look." Pei Jinquan turned his head and said to Lin Yiqing.

At that moment, the leader of the navy led the way, and several guards escorted Pei Jinquan and Lin Yiqing to the entrance of an underground secret passage.

At this time, there were also shipmaster and navy soldiers on duty in the underground tunnel, Lin Yiqing and Pei Jinquan followed the leader of the navy for a while, and the more they went inside, the darker it became, but fortunately, every time they walked, the sailors set up torches, and it was not dark, and after a while, Lin Yiqing and Pei Jinquan came to a stone room.

"This is it." The leader of the navy pointed to the side, "It seems that this is their warehouse for storing gold and silver treasures, please look at the shelves over there, they are all placed there." ”

Lin Yiqing looked in the direction he was pointing and saw rows of wooden shelves with many wooden boxes, and the leader of the navy stepped forward to open a box, in which rows of silver ingots were neatly stacked.

The leader opened the chests one by one, most of them were boxes containing silver ingots, and a few of them contained small square gold ingots, except for a smaller and more delicate chest, which was filled with various jewels and jade.

"This Changle gang leader's ill-gotten wealth is really a lot." Pei Jinquan looked at the jewelry box in front of him and sneered.

"I can't imagine that the bandits who were rampant in Shandong back then would be so prosperous overseas." Lin Yiqing remembered what Pei Jinquan told about the Changle Gang, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

As a gang organization, the Toraku Gang is very famous in the Ryukyus. However, compared with other gang organizations at that time, such as the Tiandihui, its organization was relatively loose, but because they were born in the Shandong Army, their members were proficient in mounted archery and fighting was a distinctive feature of them.

After the failure of the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Sui Army, which originally respected the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom, insisted on fighting with the remnants of the Heavenly Kingdom for a period of time, but under the continuous blows of the cadres and the army, they finally failed, and many people were killed and captured, and some of them were "driven" to Shaanxi by Zuo Jigao, and merged with the Hui bandits there, and then fled into Xinjiang, while the other part of the people went to the sea by boat and wandered to the outer oceans, some became pirates, and some sneaked into various parts of the South Seas, went underground, and established all kinds of gang organizations, Changle Gang is one of the larger ones.

The power of the Changle Gang is all over the South Seas, but its rudder is secretly located in the Ryukyus, and has a great influence among the cadres of the Ryukyus, and even many wealthy families and Ryukyu officials are members of the gang, which can influence the local business and trade, after Pei Jinquan came to the Ryukyus, he has been looking for an opportunity to eradicate the cancer that parasitizes the Ryukyu country, but after many efforts, it has had little effect, so that his own safety has been threatened, and after Lin Yiqing led the Satsuma army and civilians to Ryukyu, Pei Jinquan had already heard of Lin Yiqing's ability, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to eliminate the Changle Gang. It was when he asked Lin Yiqing to help him train the shipmaster and navy. secretly told Lin Yiqing the truth. Lin Yiqing understood his heart, and on the one hand, he helped him train the special operations unit of the navy, and on the other hand, he inquired about the news from many sides, formulated a battle plan, and asked the warships of the Ship Master and Navy Division to cooperate, and finally succeeded in one fell swoop.

In his original time and space, Lin Yiqing has participated in the action of "fighting the underworld and eliminating evil" many times, and has repeatedly made military exploits. This time, Pei Jinquan asked him to deal with the Changle Gang, and he was naturally familiar with the road.

"The leader of the Changle gang has always been mysterious, and the outside world doesn't even know his name, and they don't know if this person is." Bei Jinquan came to the two corpses, a man and a woman, and said with a frown.

Lin Yiqing came to the corpse and looked at it carefully, unlike the fierce gods he imagined, the two people in front of him were very young, and the man was about the same age as himself, but his appearance was very elegant, and the woman was very beautiful. Both of them wore Middle-earth-style long, wide-sleeved robes and hugged each other. Each stabbed each other into the heart with the short sword in his hand, hugged each other and died, the facial expressions of the two were very calm, obviously suicide.

Lin Yiqing stepped forward and stretched out her hand and gently touched the woman's armpit, there was still residual warmth, proving that she had not died for a long time.

Probably because of Lin Yiqing's touch, the bodies of the two slowly softened, and at this time, Lin Yiqing found that something fell out of the woman's open clothes.

It was a round piece of green jade, crystal clear, radiating a faint green light under the light of the fire, the jade was plain and plain, but when Lin Yiqing picked it up, his fingers brushed its surface, but he felt that there were fine lines.

Lin Yiqing was shocked, he looked at the dead man and woman again, noticed the posture of the two of them stabbing each other, and his heart suddenly brightened.

These two people are here, but they are by no means simply stabbing each other to death!

"This jade is good, if Han Peng likes it, he will keep it." Pei Jinquan saw Lin Yiqing holding the piece of jade, thinking that he liked it, so he said with a smile.

"Then you're welcome." Lin Yiqing's heart moved, nodded with a smile, and put the jade bi into his pocket.

"There is no shortage of high-quality jewelry here, and Hanpeng will also pick a few and take them back to his wife, which should be a thank you gift for asking Hanpeng to help this time." Pei Jinquan said, pointing to the box containing jewelry.

"Then I'll thank Brother Allergy on behalf of my son." Lin Yiqing smiled, and was not polite, and stepped forward to pick out a string of jade necklaces, a pair of jasper bracelets, a few gold hairpins inlaid with red sapphires and a few small jade carvings and put them away.

The reason why Lin Yiqing is like this is just to cover up that he took the piece of jade, and he doesn't want to arouse Pei Jinquan's suspicion.

From the moment his finger touched the jade just now, he already knew that this piece of jade was extraordinary.

He's going to unlock its secrets himself!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the evening, the snow was misty, and there was no sound.

Under the cloister of the courtyard, the young imperial concubine sat on the purple bamboo chair in a daze, watching the falling snowflakes. Although the weather was very cold, her wrists were exposed outside her sleeves, and she was covered with a white jade skull, which made her wrists more and more delicate, which was pitiful.

Frowning double dai moths, what can the night be long?

"Master, it's too cold, go back to your room and rest." The palace maid next to her leaned down and whispered in the woman's ear.

However, the woman did not answer, her eyes still fixed on somewhere in the snow, and did not speak. Her expression was indifferent, and at first glance it would seem that she was indifferent because of her nobility and reserve, but if you look closely into her eyes, you will find that her eyes are hollow, without a trace of light or change in expression.

As if accustomed to such a response, the palace maid looked at the sky that was about to darken, leaned down and gently shook off the sable fur cloak that was held in the crook of her arm, and draped it over her body.

Erut? Lingyin didn't move, let the palace maid serve, there was still no change in the expression on her face, and she looked at the snow stupidly.

This is a garden belonging to "Yongqing Changchun", although the square inch is not large, but the layout is ingenious.

Flowers and trees are sparse, and a small rockery is hidden. The mountains and rocks are transported from Huzhou, and they have won the charm of "thinness, transparency and leakage", and the mountain stacking technique is also known at a glance from everyone's hands. On the rockery, the sagebrush vine rose, Du Ruo Angelica, is well decorated. There was a faint fragrance in the snow - however, the young woman's empty eyes were momentary as she stared at a flower tree behind the rockery.

It was a very delicate flowering tree, although it was also a foot tall, but the branches and leaves were slender and soft, and the most strange thing was that the branches and leaves were closed. The branches are also tightly entangled in the snow - just like a beauty who encounters a wind and snow, subconsciously hugging her fragrant shoulders.

It was an acacia tree. It's not flowering season, though. But the trees are full of red and white flowers, but the branches and leaves are a little yellowish.

"Master, shall we go back to the room? If the queen mother comes over and sees her master sitting on the tuyere like this, the slave and maid will be scolded again. Seeing that the imperial concubine was docile and allowed herself to add her clothes, the personal palace maid Qian'er further persuaded her to put her hand under the imperial concubine's ribs, wanting to help her up.

However. The imperial concubine didn't move, she didn't seem to hear anything said by the people who were close at hand, and her eyes just looked blankly at the acacia tree in the courtyard.

The snow grew heavier, and the tree sat quietly, but with every gust of wind it fell large yellow leaves and withered flowers—strange flowers, like a puff of red and white needles.

One by one, they fell silently to the ground in the raging snowstorm.

Strangely, it's the harsh winter season. The tree has already begun to shed its leaves...... It seems that this acacia flower. I can't live long.

The wind was fierce, and the thick black clouds gathered and covered the sky, and the evening sky suddenly darkened, and it was as dark as the night. Seeing that the imperial concubine refused to move, Qian'er sighed helplessly and continued to persuade: "Master, the snow is too big." Let's go back and rest, shall we? ”

Erut's eyes were empty, as if he hadn't heard at all, and didn't react.

"Master...... Let's go back. Stay a while, Concubine Hui is about to come to visit you-alas, the sky is getting fast, I don't know if Concubine Hui is still coming......" Qian'er persuaded in a low voice, and the hand under the imperial concubine's side was slightly strengthened, and the thin imperial concubine was involuntarily helped up by her, as light as a leaf.

Qian'er helped her get up and said softly: "Let's go back to the room to rest, the snow is falling so hard, I'm afraid it's going to be windy." ”

However, before he finished speaking, he heard a loud sound and a gust of wind, which sounded like a ghost crying wolf......

Qian'er couldn't help but be startled, and wanted to help the imperial concubine back to the room immediately. However, when she just wanted to stretch out her hand, she suddenly found that the demented imperial concubine was no longer by her side, and she walked under the eaves alone, staring at the snowdrops on the bluestone slabs outside the corridor in a daze, and then seemed to be conscious, slowly raised her head and looked at the acacia tree in the courtyard.

Suddenly, the snow fell very loudly, and the sound of the rattle drowned out everything, and the sky and the earth were just white, and the heavy snow curtain blocked all vision.

However, at this moment, the palace maid was horrified to see that the imperial concubine's face suddenly had an expression.

As if there was no wind automatically, the sable mantle slipped off the Orut's body. Seeing the expressionless face of the imperial concubine, at that moment, somehow, unspeakable fear captured Qian'er's heart, and she couldn't help but want to blurt out exclaim.

The snow was falling heavily, the wind was howling, and in the dark night, there was only a white patch. On the bluestone slab, in the thick snow, there are some withered acacia flowers scattered scattered.

Qian'er took a step, but when she saw the imperial concubine's eyes, she shivered smartly and took three steps back in a row.

"Duo, Duo." In the snowy night, there was a clear knock on the door.

"Who...... Who is it? Qian'er felt cold in her heart and asked in a trembling voice.

The knock came from the main entrance of the courtyard - who had come back from the wind and snow so late? The Queen Mother probably won't come at this time, and even if she did, she wouldn't call the door like this - who is calling the door?

"Duo, Duo." The knock sounded again, unslow. A voice cleared Lingling: "Concubine Hui has arrived, Qian'er, open the door quickly!" Concubine Hui's personal maid Jing'er said.

"Master Hui......" Qian'er breathed a sigh of relief, remembered, rushed to the side door as if she had seen a savior, and opened the latch, "Master Hui, the master of the imperial concubine, she ...... today"

The frightened look of the little palace maid obviously attracted the attention of Concubine Hui who was visiting outside the door. Lan Xuan and the palace maids and eunuchs entered the corridor and collected the umbrella of the bamboo skeleton of Concubine Xiang, and the thick snow shook off the umbrella and fell on the blue brick floor, like a ball of white cotton.

"What's wrong with my sister?" As soon as she entered the door, she felt a different atmosphere, Concubine Hui blurted out the palace maid who came to open the door, and walked over quickly.

"The emperor has gone—" The imperial concubine didn't know that someone was coming, she just cried to herself, crying like a breakdown.

"Sister, calm down! Calm down! Concubine Hui quickly hugged her, grabbed the imperial concubine's shoulders hard, shook her body, and said loudly.

It seemed that Concubine Hui's words had an effect, and the imperial concubine stayed for a while, and the terrifying exclamation finally stopped.

The imperial concubine's face flushed, under the snowy night, her eyes were blank, there was no longer such a fierce and terrifying action, and she looked out a little stupidly.

"Master......" Qian'er's sweat was already wet with her long hair, and she asked in a crying voice, "Master...... What's going on? She, she's been quiet all these years - what's going on today?! ”

"Shut up! Do you want to induce her to have another seizure? Before the palace maid lost control, Concubine Hui shouted to stop. Qian'er was stunned, but after a long time, she came trembling, took out a handkerchief, wiped the white foam from the mouth of the imperial concubine, and asked in a low voice: "Master Hui, master, what's wrong?" ”

"Consciousness collapse...... Concubine Hui took the handkerchief, carefully let go of the imperial concubine's shoulders, and saw that she was quiet and no longer moving, so she let go of her hand and began to wipe her, and said in a low voice, "If a person who is overly grieved is strongly stimulated, his mind will be like this when he breaks down - what did she see just now?" (To be continued......)

PS: I would like to recommend to you another masterpiece at the bottom of the box: In 1980, there was a movie "405 Murder", which started as an ordinary criminal investigation reasoning drama, an old criminal police officer in Donghai City investigated the murder case, and then the plot went violent, and the old criminal police found that the deceased inadvertently filmed the high-level assembly of militia and hoarding arms in Donghai City with the intention of rebellion, and was killed. The public security of the whole city launched a frenzied pursuit of the old criminal policeman, and the old criminal policeman escaped from the city and went to Beijing after all the hardships and dangers......
