After ten days of sailing, the mighty Chuzhou fleet finally arrived at the lair of the Phoenix Society, the outer sea of Ryukyu Island, about 80 miles away from the main island of Ryukyu on the sea, this area is an island chain group, there are hundreds of large and small islands, most of them are uninhabited desert islands, decades ago, the pirates and pirates were based on these desert islands, and the population and property of the Daning Dynasty were captured on the island for spoils.

Since the appearance of the phoenix thirty years ago, the pirates and pirates on these islands have gradually disappeared, and these islands have become temporary resting places for many merchant ships, and some islands have fresh water to replenish merchant ships.

The dark seas were very windy and rough, and the rough waves posed a great threat to the fleet, so it became imperative to find a sheltered island as soon as possible.

Wu Jin stood in his cockpit, looking at the vast sea outside through the small window, his ship could withstand the attack of hurricanes and waves, and walked very smoothly in the wind and waves in front of him, but the ships around him were up and down, and the danger was constant, and Wu Jin's heart was also a little anxious.

He left the cabin and went onto the deck, where the wind and rain almost blew him into the air, and two fishermen's guides were nervously watching the sea in search of the island.

"Dudu, this kind of wind and waves are really rare in this season, and it usually happens in summer." Lin Yuanyang, who had just been promoted to lieutenant, pulled his throat and said loudly in the wind and rain.

Wu Jin was more concerned about whether he could find the island, he pointed to the two fishermen, and also shouted: "Is there an island eyebrow?" ”

"They said there should be a big island nearby, and there should be a lake and a small fishing village called Gushan Island."

Wu Jin just looked at the map, Gushan Island is in the north of Ryukyu Island, about 80 miles apart, is it near here?

"See!"

The two fishermen suddenly cheered together, and everyone rushed up, looking in the direction of their fingers, only to see a deeper shadow appear on the dark and heavy sea, it was the shadow of the mountain, and a cheer suddenly broke out on the deck, and Wu Jin was also very excited in his heart, and turned around and ordered: "Give the light order, let all the ships anchor close to the island." ”

The lamp order is issued with a glass lamp, the lampshade is made of Luo Hanguo's transparent glass, which is very transparent, and the candle is made of the grease of a kind of Jiaoyu in the western sea, the light is particularly strong, and it can be seen on the dark sea surface for more than ten miles.

The dazzling light flickered on the mast, it was the light order, the order to anchor at the island, and at the order of the mother ship, the same light flashed on the surrounding sea, slowly spreading to the last ship.

The big ship began to slowly approach the island, and Wu Jin found that the island was very large, with a radius of several miles, and there was a mountain on the island, so it was called Gushan Island.

Close to the island, the wind and waves are obviously smaller, and there are no reefs around this island, which is very conducive to stopping the boat, the giant mother ship finally landed on the island, and the moment the giant anchor fell into the sea, Wu Jin's heart also fell.

Seeing that the warships were approaching the island one after another, Wu Jin returned to the cabin, and happened to meet Huineng Zen Master at the hatch, Huineng Zen Master first went to Laoshan to worship the dead wine Taoist Yu Xuan, and then boarded the boat on the north bank of the river halfway.

He clasped his palms together and smiled: "The young master has time, I want to talk to the young master." ”

In fact, you can talk about it on the way to Ryukyu Island, but Hui Neng's meaning is not understandable to Jin, and he wants to talk to him alone.

"Please come in!"

Found the island, Wu Jin was in a good mood, he invited Zen Master Huineng into his cabin, and the two sat on the ground.

"What does the master want to talk to me about?"

"I want to talk to the young master about the Chen family."

The smile on Wu Jin's face disappeared and became serious, and he nodded silently, "Master, please speak!" ”

Zen Master Huineng smiled bitterly and said: "I can't hide it, I am not completely here to worship the wine Taoist priest in Laoshan Mountain, there is another very important thing, I met Chen Anbang." ”

Chen Anbang is also Chen Zhiduo's eldest son, this news made Wujin stunned, Chen Anbang actually appeared in Laoshan, a place farther than Jiangning Mansion, but he refused to come to Jiangning Mansion to see him, why?

Wu Jin didn't get angry, but asked calmly, "Why did he go to Laoshan and refuse to come to Jiangning Mansion to see me?" Or, why can't he hold a meeting in Gangning on behalf of my father, but let us go to Ryukyu Island? ”

"This is also something I want to talk to the young master."

Zen Master Huineng sighed softly, "Because before that, the entire Jin'an Association was in charge of me, and all the actions were deployed by me, every two years, the members of the Jin'an Association would gather in Tianji Temple for a meeting to discuss some important things, such as letting you go to Laoshan Mountain to learn art, that is, we unanimously decided, in the past forty years, we have held a total of twenty meetings, and the Chen family has only attended ten times, everyone can understand, after all, they are coming across the sea, it is too far, but in fact, only I know the reason, because of an incident that happened thirty years ago." , so that the Chen family and I planted the seeds of hatred. ”

"Hate?"

Wu Jin was a little stunned, "Master, is it so serious?" ”

Zen Master Huineng nodded slowly, "At least back then, it was very serious. ”

Huineng Zen Master recalled the past, and said slowly: "To be precise, it should be twenty-eight years ago, Prince Tianfeng is already twenty years old, after the year of the weak crown, he should marry a wife and have children, everyone has a special meeting for this matter, I wanted to marry my daughter Zhang Rujing to Tianfeng, and I also got the support of everyone, including Chen Zhiduo, he is also very supportive, not long after, Chen Zhiduo found me, said that he also wants to marry his daughter to Tianfeng, that is, your mother Chen Fenghuang, we discussed it, that is, the two daughters married together, Ru Jing is the wife, Phoenix is the second wife, everyone agreed, soon the three of them got married in Weiyang County, according to the rules to go back to the door, first went to Ryukyu Island, because Weiyang County to Ryukyu Island is more convenient, more importantly, after Tianfeng got married, is to live in the capital, become the eldest son of Huangfu Jiang, this is agreed upon, but it happened on their way to Ryukyu Island, their boat sank inexplicably, the people on the boat rescued Tianfeng and your mother, and Ru Jing died tragically in the sea, so far there are no bones. ”

Huineng Zen Master sighed, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes sadly, and continued: "For this reason, Tianfeng had a serious illness, lived on Ryukyu Island for three years, and finally returned to Weiyang County with Weiming, and Tianfeng's plan to come to Chang'an was also canceled, I only have a son and a daughter, I heard the news of my beloved daughter's misfortune, I couldn't stand the blow, so I became a monk, in the year when Tianfeng returned to Weiyang County, I went to the East China Sea to worship my daughter, and Tianfeng talked all night, I knew that the reason why Tianfeng refused to come to the capital was that he thought that he would become the king of Heiliang, It is unrealistic to regain the throne as King Liang, it is impossible to do it, and the Chen family gave him another plan, let him go overseas as the king, establish the Ryukyu Kingdom as the king, he accepted this plan, so he refused to enter Beijing again, at this time, I began to suspect the cause of my daughter's death, because there is obviously a big conspiracy hidden in it, Chen Zhiduo never told us that he intended to make Tianfeng king in the Ryukyus, so at the meeting the next autumn, I questioned Chen Zhiduo face to face and asked him the cause of Ru Jing's death, Chen Zhiduo knelt down with me and begged for forgiveness and cut off his legs......"

Zen Master Huineng sighed deeply, "Since then, Chen Zhiduo has never been to the mainland again. ”

Only then did Wu Jin know that there was such a deep grudge between the older generation, in the final analysis, it was to fight for control of his father, and the Chen family took away the power to control his father by killing Zhang Rujing, lived on Ryukyu Island for three years, and successfully brainwashed his father.

"And then? Why didn't my father become the king of the Ryukyus? ”

"Because at that time, the Phoenix Society was not strong enough to destroy the Ryukyu Kingdom, at that time Tianfeng was very active, and he had to go to the Phoenix Society every six months, but then there was a big event, that is, your mother died of puerperal fever shortly after giving birth to you, Tianfeng fell into great grief since then, when the Chen family came to hang filial piety for your mother, and proposed to let Tianfeng remarry your mother's little sister as a wife, Tianfeng refused, and then the Chen family proposed to take you to Ryukyu Island to raise, Tianfeng still refused, for which your uncle Chen Anbang and Tianfeng had a big quarrel, Because the Chen family has always insisted that your mother go to the island to give birth to you, but Tianfeng refused, and finally your mother died, which made Chen Anbang very dissatisfied with Tianfeng, he thought that it was Tianfeng's responsibility, it was your mother's death that caused the relationship between Tianfeng and the Chen family to begin to crack, and Tianfeng became the king of the Ryukyus. ”

Wu Jin nodded silently, he still clearly remembered that his father yelled at the sky like a nervous madness for countless nights, and hugged their brothers and cried loudly, he always thought that his father missed his mother, and now he understood his father's desperate mood, so his father had been depressed and died when he was seven years old.

Wu Jin pondered for a long time and said: "The fundamental reason is that when the Chen family grew strong enough to replace the king of the Ryukyus, their mentality changed, they no longer wanted to give up this throne to their father, but wanted to leave it to the Chen family, but they felt ashamed in their hearts, so they proposed to take me to Ryukyu Island to raise, and finally my surname is Chen, let me inherit the throne, right!" ”

"That's right, this is what Chen Anbang told me personally ten years ago, he said to give us Weiming, let us continue to walk the road of King Liang, and take you to Ryukyu and make you the king of Ryukyu, on the condition that you marry Chen Ying, we are all unanimously opposed, and we are afraid that the Chen family will snatch you away, so we decided to send you to Laoshan and let the wine Taoist take care of you."

Wujin couldn't help but sneer, the Chen family played a good wishful thinking, the former emperor Fu Wujin was a fool, let him be a puppet king, but in fact, the Chen family controlled Ryukyu.

"Then what does Chen Anbang mean when he went to Laoshan to find you this time?"

"He made two requests, one is that this time the Jin'an will be raised on Ryukyu Island, and secondly, the Phoenix Society is willing to lend us 10,000 troops, no Jin, do you know what he means?"
