The blue sea and blue sky, the white clouds are long, the "Princess" three-masted sailing ship raises its sails to ride the wind and waves, and the flag of the "Daishan Inspection Division" at the top of the main mast flutters in the wind.
At this time, it was February of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and Ren Siqi launched the strategy of exterminating all the pirates in the Zhoushan Islands, because he deeply felt the urgency of time. Exterminating pirates and increasing strength is the most urgent thing at present.
This time, the "Princess" went to sea to go to Zhoushan Island, and Ren Siqi planned to visit Zhoushan General Huang Binqing, and by the way, explore the reality of Zhoushan Island.
At present, in the eastern waters of Zhejiang, the biggest force is Huang Binqing, a general in Zhoushan, and Wang Zhiren, the general of the anti-Japanese army in Zhenhai. Daishan Island historically belonged to Changguo County (the county was governed by Zhoushan Island), so theoretically Ren Siqi was also Huang Binqing's subordinate, but Changguo County was removed as early as the Hongwu period, and there was no civil official system on the entire Zhoushan Island, so the Daishan Inspection Department and the Zhoushan General Office had no real subordinate relationship.
However, since Ren Siqi wants to exterminate the pirates, he can't cross the Zhoushan General's Mansion, and he must inform him. As for Huang Binqing's willingness to send troops to suppress the bandits, Ren Siqi didn't care at all.
Daishan is more than 40 miles away from Zhoushan Island, and the "Princess" arrived in Zhoushan in more than two hours, and as soon as it entered the waterway to Zhoushan City, two lucky boats greeted it, blocking the way of the "Princess" as if facing a great enemy. The appearance of the "Princess" Western plywood ship made the officers and soldiers in Zhoushan think that they had encountered Western pirates, and after finding out that it was the ship of the Daishan Inspection Department, Fang Yiyi took the "Princess" in front and behind and sailed towards the port outside Zhoushan City.
"With just these two small boats, we can sink them with just one round of shelling." Li Xingjiu looked disdainfully at the two-masted sailing road of the Zhoushan General's Mansion in front of him.
"What nonsense, they are not our enemies." Ren Siqi scolded.
Li Xingjiu pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Anthony, Song Liben and others now have their own responsibilities, and the only long-term entourage by Ren Siqi's side is Li Xingjiu and Xiong Er. Of course, the little stone Ren Jun cried and shouted to follow Ren Siqi, but Ren Siqi ruthlessly refused, but asked him to study in the Xinli Lecture Hall while following Lao Shafu's experience.
"Sakurako didn't do anything to you, did she?" Ren Siqi suddenly asked. During the Chinese New Year, Li Xingjiu was lured by Anthony and Jin Yufei to gamble, lost all the money on his body, and it is said that he owed a lot of debt.
"She dares!" Li Xingjiu glared, but the expression on his face betrayed him.
"I don't know who crawled outside the door at night and begged, but couldn't get in." Xiong Erurn said angrily.
"Hahaha!" Ren Siqi laughed, and Li Xingjiu's handsome face turned red.
While speaking, the "Princess" sailed into the dock, Ren Siqi took Xiong Er to the dock in a small boat, and Li Xingjiu was left on the boat by him to take care of the sailboat.
"Your Excellency, please!" One of the leaders of the Zhoushan Water Army led Ren Siqi towards Zhoushan City.
Ren Siqi walked while looking at the scenery around him. Because of its overseas location and the perennial sea ban, Zhoushan Island is not very prosperous, and according to intelligence, the population of the entire Zhoushan Island is now about 20,000.
There is a naval camp near the wharf, and when I was on the boat just now, I saw more than a dozen two-masted and three-masted ships in the water camp, and the others were mostly small boats.
Zhoushan City is more than three miles away from the wharf, surrounded by mountains, Guanshan takes pictures, the south is the confluence of rivers and seas, and the archipelago arches. Zhoushan city seat north to south, it originates from the north of the hammerhead tip of the Longfeng Mountain along the mountain and to the west, the prominent part of the town Ao Mountain are all encircled into the city, and the east of the city has Xia Mountain (now Ao Mountain Mound), thus forming the pattern that there is a mountain in the city, and there is a city in the mountain.
Ren Siqi came from the wharf, although he couldn't see the whole picture of the whole Zhoushan City, but he was still amazed by the mountains in the mountains, compared with Zhoushan City, Daishan's Gaoting Castle that took several months to build was completely inadequate, and both the scale and the solidity of the city defense were far from being comparable with Zhoushan City.
Near the city gate, Fang was much more lively, and soldiers and civilians began to enter and exit from the city gate. Through the city gate, you can see that there are many pedestrians on the streets of the city, and there are many shops on both sides of the street.
Ren Siqi took Xiong Er and looked around as he walked, looking at the situation in the city.
"Lord Inspector, after passing this city gate, walk along this street, and it is the General's Mansion." The leader of the Zhoushan Water Army introduced Ren Siqi.
Ren Siqi nodded, and was just about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion in the city.
"The horse is shocked! Spread out! A coquettish shout came from afar, Ren Siqi turned his head to look, and saw that on the street in the city, a fiery red horse galloped along the street, rampage all the way, pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, and the whole street was in chaos.
From a distance, I saw that the female knight on the horse was pulling the reins hard, and the fiery red horse was pulled to the head sideways, but I didn't know what the stimulus was still galloping fast.
A man carrying a burden looked at the galloping horses in a panic, and wanted to run away, but he was reluctant to drop the burden on his shoulders, and hesitated to startle the horse was almost in front of him.
"Get out of the way!" Immediately, the female knight dressed in red shouted with a crying voice. The man hurried out of the street, avoiding the trampling of the galloping horse, but his burden was kicked by the horse's hooves, and the fruit in the basket rolled all over the street.
At this time, Ren Siqi had just passed the city gate, and when he saw the galloping horse coming from afar and was about to dodge, Ren Siqi looked into the city gate hole, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he saw a woman with a child in his arms just walked into the city gate hole. At the speed of the startled horse, and in such a small space as the city gate, the woman couldn't escape the trampling of the startled horse!
"The eldest lady's horse is frightened, the inspector is out of the way!" The leader of the sailors who led the way screamed in surprise and hid to the side of the street.
Ren Siqi didn't have time to think about it or dodge, he pulled out the flintlock musket on his waist, raised his hands, and pulled the trigger on the rushing startled horse.
"Bang!" The fire flashed, a loud bang sounded on the street, and then looked at the huge body of the startled horse that was almost in front of him, and a small hole appeared in his chest, but the startled horse did not stop all of a sudden, but ran more than a dozen steps under inertia, and fell in front of Ren Siqi.
The horsewoman screamed, jumped out of her stirrup, and jumped off the horse, so that she was not crushed by the startled horse. However, maybe she didn't prevent the war horse from falling at all, she jumped a little panicked and a little hurriedly, stumbling in her steps, and almost fell in front of Ren Siqi.
Ren Siqi saw it clearly, threw away the musket in his hand, and hugged the female knight, but was staggered back by her momentum, and fell to the ground at once, and the female knight was held by his hands and fell on top of him.
Ren Siqi felt a convex and concave body pressing on him, although he could still feel the amazing elasticity of her body through the clothes, his nose smelled a faint fragrance, his eyes looked like a white and delicate face, and the soft green silk crossed Ren Siqi's face, and he felt that the itch in the nostrils was itching to the bottom of his heart.
was held by Ren Siqi with both hands and fell to the ground, Huang Fengwu was stunned, her stunned little face looked at Ren Siqi's face who was close at hand, and felt a pair of powerful arms around her waist, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she felt that her whole body was so soft that she couldn't lift up a little strength.
Suddenly, she thought of something, broke away from Ren Siqi's embrace, stood up and ran quickly to her horse's side, and saw a small hole in her horse's chest, and red blood was pouring out of the hole, and it had flowed all over the ground. Seeing that the horse's breath was weak, and she was lying on the ground twitching incessantly, the tears of the female knight poured out at once.
This female knight is Huang Fengwu, the daughter of Zhoushan General Huang Binqing (mentioned in Chapter 106), she rode out of the General's Mansion on horseback this day, and wanted to go to the beach to take a turn, and soon after she got on the street, a naughty boy set off a firecracker, and the horse was frightened, galloped, and couldn't pull it.
Huang Fengwu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is a very experienced knight, and he knows that it is difficult to control a startling horse, but as long as he goes out of the city gate and gallops a few laps in the wild, he will naturally stop when he runs out of strength. So she shouted loudly, reminding pedestrians on the street to dodge, while doing her best to control the startled horse.
Who knew that he was almost at the gate of the city, but someone shot his horse, looking at the wound, it was estimated that the projectile hit the horse's heart.
"You give me back the fire!" Huang Fengwu picked up the musket that Ren Siqi threw on the ground, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against the chest of Ren Siqi, who had just stood up. This red horse named "Huo'er" has been following her for many years, treating her like a relative, but now she has died under the other party's gun, which makes Huang Fengwu angry, she tried hard to control herself, so she didn't pull the trigger and killed the bastard in front of her!
"Huo'er, do you mean this amazing horse?" Ren Siqi looked at Huang Fengwu's angry little face and asked.
"I, I'm going to kill you and avenge Huo'er!" Huang Fengwu didn't answer, but gritted his teeth.
"This, the musket has just been activated, and now there are no projectiles in it." Ren Siqi said with a smile, he found that the girl in front of him was so good-looking when he was angry, so he couldn't help but laugh.
"......" A black line appeared on Huang Fengwu's forehead, and he threw away the musket in his hand, pulled out the short sword at his waist, and clamped it on Ren Siqi's neck.
"Xiucai, are you stupid, why did you remind her that there were no bullets in the musket." Xiong Er on the side couldn't stand it anymore and muttered in his mouth.
"This girl, this woman, there must be a reason to kill, right? Besides, I just saved you, but I am your savior. Ren Siqi smiled and flicked the blade of the sword around his neck with his fingers.
"Let that go..."Huang Fengwu was almost about to burst out foul language, "What a life-saving benefactor, he is clearly a disciple!" Thinking about being held in the arms of the other party just now, Huang Fengwu felt that her body was hot, which made the anger in her heart even worse, the scene just now was seen by many people on the street, which made her see people in the future!
"Huo'er has grown up with me since she was a child, and has been with me for many years, and in my heart she is like my sister, you killed Huo'er, I killed you to avenge Huo'er, is this reason sufficient?" Huang Fengwuyuan's eyes widened, his words exuded a chill, and the short sword in his hand pressed against Ren Siqi's neck, and the blade of the sword had already cut through the oily skin of the skin.
"Heroine spare her life, listen to me." Feeling the chill of the sword blade, Ren Siqi was shocked in his heart, this woman didn't really slaughter herself to avenge her horse, it was very wronged.
"Woman, it's not false that I said that I am your savior, you see," Ren Siqi said, pointing to the city gate. Huang Fengwu looked intently and saw a woman with a child in her arms standing there in the cave of the city gate.
"The gate was so narrow that the woman and the child would not have been spared. Heroine, if you kill them by a horse, then you are guilty of murder. Although I shot your beloved horse, I also prevented a tragedy from happening, you say, did I save you? Ren Siqi said with a heartfelt voice.
"You, you!" Huang Fengwu's face changed, and he finally took the short sword off Ren Siqi's neck in a gloomy manner. She is not a person who messes around, so she naturally knows that what Ren Siqi said is reasonable, but when she saw the corpse of her beloved war horse, she felt a great pain in her heart.
"Huo'er..."Huang Fengwu caressed the body of his beloved horse, and crystal tears finally flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Looking at Huang Fengwu's sad appearance, Ren Siqi suddenly felt a little unbearable, and felt that he had made a big mistake.
"This, I will compensate you, and I will compensate you for a better war horse!" Ren Siqi comforted softly.
"Who is rare! yours. Huang Fengwu scolded angrily without twisting her face, she didn't want to see this "enemy" who killed her beloved horse for a moment.
When Huang Fengwu was furious, the leader of the navy who led the way stood aside in shock, not daring to say a word. At this time, Fang came over and whispered to Ren Siqi to continue walking.
"Xiucai, were you stupid just now, why did you tell her that the musket had no bullets?" Xiong Er muttered.
Ren Siqi glared at Xiong Er, and was very dissatisfied with Xiong Er's practice of not opening which pot to mention. He saw that the girl was beautiful just now, and he had the heart to laugh, but he almost died under the other party's sword, and he felt shocked when he thought about it.
"Who is this girl? Why is it so spicy? Ren Siqi asked the leader of the navy who led the way, and looked back at Huang Fengwu while asking.
"Be careful!" The leader of the navy looked at Ren Siqi dissatisfied, "That's our Huang Shen's beloved daughter." ā
So that's the case, no wonder she can ride a horse on the street, no wonder she is so high-flying.
"Our eldest lady is actually a very good person," as if he knew what Ren Siqi was thinking, the leader of the navy explained: "Although she is the daughter of General Huang Shen, she never bullies people casually, but helps the needy and often helps others." In this Zhoushan, the prestige of the eldest lady is even higher than that of Huang Shenjiang. ā
It can be seen that the leader of the navy admires the spicy woman very much, which makes Ren Siqi's interest suddenly increase.
"What's her name?" Ren Siqi asked.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to hit our eldest lady's idea? The leader of the navy looked at Ren Siqi with a vigilant expression. (To be continued.) )
