Chapter 320: The Wind and Rain Beat the Drums at Night
PS: The second shift is at 18 o'clock, ask for a monthly pass, dear friends
"Can't sleep?" Ye Yingwu's eyes widened, looked at the roof, and asked softly.
The sound of tossing back and forth on the bed next to him had been ringing for a while.
Hearing Ye Yingwu not know whether he was talking to himself or to himself, Zhao Yunshu sat up with Jin Shu in his arms, and while gently holding the hair that had been scattered, he hummed as if he was nothing, and then leaned to the edge of the bed: "Can't sleep, are you still thinking about Huainan?" ”
Ye Yingwu shook his head and solemnly met Zhao Yunshu's gaze: "Your Royal Highness Princess, just like you, with such a toss, such a loud noise, you can sleep while listening here." ”
"Don't make excuses." Zhao Yunshu's face was cold, this guy really blamed himself, he pulled the futon at the moment, wrapped himself tightly, and said sullenly, "It's obvious that I have something in my heart." ”
Ye Yingwu smiled and pillowed his arm: "So you also have something on your mind?" Forget it, since you can't sleep, it's better to tell each other stories, and when you're tired, you'll naturally fall asleep. ”
"What kind of story to tell," Zhao Yunshu poked his head out of the futon and couldn't help but say angrily, "If you are your daughter's family, and there is a guy who always has bad intentions lying next to the bed, it is difficult for you to sleep, I am really embarrassed to say." ”
Touching his nose, Ye Yingwu replied without hesitation: "Don't make excuses." ”
At that moment, Ye Yingwu didn't bother to talk to Zhao Yunshu, and was about to speak, but the window that had been half-hidden was suddenly pushed open, and a black figure rushed in. Ye Yingwu was stunned, and then secretly screamed in his heart, got up quickly, and directly pushed all the bedding on the ground under the bed, and then the whole person lifted the quilt and got in, and did not forget to roar:
"What people!"
Zhao Yunshu stared at his eyes and just wanted to scream, Ye Yingwu grabbed the futon with both hands, and couldn't free his hand for a while, so he simply lowered his head and kissed it.
"Meow." The black shadow screamed, and it was extremely abrupt after Ye Yingwu's shout.
The door was slammed open, and Jiang Tie walked in quickly: "Yanei!" ”
Ye Yingwu glanced at Zhao Yunshu, she was not stupid, she knew that this must not be just a simple cat, so she nodded hurriedly, Ye Yingwu quickly raised his head and shouted loudly: "Chen Tie, look, where did the wild cat come from!" ”
"Sir! Master! A maid walked in quickly, and when she saw Jiang Tie holding a cat in one hand and a knife in the other, her expression under the candlelight was terrified, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground, "This is our cat, my lord's men are merciful!" Just now, the slave didn't look good. ”
Zhao Yunshu, who was pressed under him, gasped softly, and originally wanted to push Ye Yingwu away, but when he heard the maid's explanation, he was suddenly stunned. Ye Yingwu sneered: "I didn't see that I was doing business, master, what if I was frightened, don't get out of here!" You are not optimistic about this cat, just pack up the bed tomorrow and get out, and Chen Tie, the cat will be killed! ”
Jiang Tie looked at the two people who were obviously together on the bed with some surprise, and was wondering when his own boss took down the princess, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly answered, carried the cat out, and didn't forget to look at the maid kneeling there: "Don't hurry up and get out!" ”
The maid bowed her head in response, trembling and slowly withdrew.
When the door and window were closed, Ye Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief, and flipped off Zhao Yunshu's body, and the whole person was paralyzed. Neither of them spoke in the dark, just gasping for breath, which was really scary just now.
After a long time, Zhao Yunshu slowly spoke: "How do you know?" ”
Ye Yingwu pointed his finger: "Intuition, I always feel that these maids will find a way to figure things out, after all, although this brother of Chen Xianggong is indeed a person, but appearing in Pingjiang Mansion at this time, it will cause some suspicion." ”
"I couldn't sleep just now, and I can't sleep even more now." Zhao Yunshu sighed softly.
"Come on, come on, I'll tell you a story," Ye Yingwu patted his chest, thought for a while, and said slowly, "Anyway, when this Nuwa mended the sky, she used to refine 36,500 stones, and used 36,500 pieces, but there is such a piece that has never been used・・・・・・"
――――――――――――――――――――
Several logs continued to hit Zhang Shun's flagship, and the whole warship shook violently in the angry waves and torrential rain, and the waves crashed heavily against the ship's side, and then shattered into countless pearls. A row of oars lifted high and slammed down on the water, driving the ship to barely resist the onslaught of logs.
"Mongol Tartar warships!" A sharp-eyed conductor roared, pointing ahead.
Zhang Shun casually left the oars tightly controlled by himself and several guards, and walked quickly to the bow of the boat, the rain flowed down the armor, but Zhang Shun couldn't care about this, and stared wide-eyed, one by one a small warship appeared in sight, moving forward along the tumbling river.
"Bang!" The hull of the boat shook violently, Zhang Shun grabbed the side of the ship, and the soldiers behind him hulala fell a large piece, but immediately jumped up and roared to grab the oars again. One of them came running with three steps and two steps:
"Dutong, I was hit hard by one of our ships just now, but fortunately, there is no big problem, please rest assured."
"Tell the brothers that the main master is here, cheer up Lao Tzu, the trebuchet will greet you first, and the bed crossbow is ready!" Zhang Shun shouted loudly, picked up his sword in one hand and looked at the Mongolian warships that were getting closer and closer along the river, his face was already full of hideous looks.
The warships of the Zhenjiang Prefecture Navy Division broke the waves with great difficulty and faced those large and small Mongolian clippers. There was a shout from behind him, and all the Song army's naval division warships faced the enemy at the same time, and the dense stone projectiles jumped up from the boats, shrouding the entire Huai Shui in the wind and rain in the splashing mist.
The waves are rushing in the face, and they can even jump on the warship and slap the sergeants on the boat, and none of the people who are fighting on the Huai Water are already soaked, but there is no stagnation in the slightest. At this time, whoever is moving half a beat slower under his hand is no different from looking for death.
Stone bullets pierced the Mongol warships one after another, but more Mongol warships were getting closer and closer along the water, and shouts continued in the distance, and these small warships lifted the tightly covered oilcloth on the ships at the same time, and the flames that rushed into the sky were filled with smoke.
"Fireship!" Zhang Shun's pupils shrank suddenly.
It's not so much a fireship as a powder ship. Although there are no gunpowder weapons such as the Song army's thistle terrestris or even the flying thunder cannon, it does not mean that Mongolia will not use gunpowder. Once it is brought up by such a near-suicidal fireship, it is not only a matter of starting a fire, but also the hull of the ship is likely to burst.
"The left and right wings are rushing, go up!" Zhang Shun roared almost subconsciously.
"Dutong, the wind and rain are too strong, these two teams of Meng Chong have disappeared, I don't know if they were knocked downstream just now, or they have sunk!" A Marquis Yu pointed to the empty river not far away with a bitter face and said, "Now we can only rely on our larger building boats." ”
Zhang Shun took a breath of cool air lightly: "Bed crossbow, be sure to shoot it, put it on Lao Tzu!" ”
The sound of the rain drowned out the sound of the crossbow strings of the bed, but it was still possible to see the Mongolian fireships that were billowing with smoke being hit by one black shadow after another, and they began to fall silent, but there were still four or five fish that slipped through the net and crashed into the side of the warship under the panicked gaze of the Song sergeant.
"Boom, boom!" There was a muffled sound on the river, and the already loose fleet array began to gap.
At this time, more Mongolian boats came quickly along the water, all equipped with grappling hooks and spears, apparently trying to seize the ship.
"It's a good calculation," Zhang Shun said coldly, "Pass on a certain order, and the damaged building ship will immediately rush to the beach, and choose to cover the shore or water nearby." The rest of the ships must hold their positions at all costs, and those who lose their ships will come to see them! ”
The Mongolian boat was like an arrow from the string, and it had already appeared in front of it after a while, but with Zhang Shun's order, and the flagship had been in front to lead by example, the warships of the Zhenjiang Prefecture Navy Division did not retreat in fear, but moved forward step by step against the current.
Along both sides of the ship, the explosions rose and fell, and the ship's sergeants threw the thistles at the Mongol warships like stones, and Zhang Shun ignored the crossbow and pulled the trigger on the faintly visible black shadow.
"Everything, look, look at the left!" One of the marquis on the boat suddenly said excitedly, pointing to the left.
Zhang Shun looked at it in surprise, and more than a dozen building ships slowly came up, forming a thin defense line that was not so easy to break through.
"Two Huai Water Divisions?" Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief, "Xia Song is a man!" ”
There was a soft sound of "dang" around him, and several guards rushed over in surprise, and a Mongolian soldier had already turned over half of his body. Zhang Shun's face changed, and he immediately sneered, and the saber in his hand slammed forward, piercing the soldier's chest directly. Raising a kick to kick the still warm corpse off the boat, Zhang Shun waved his hand calmly, and one of the guards raised his axe and slashed down, cutting the rope.
"The Mongol Tartars are rushing up!" One of the heads roared, and four or five Mongolian soldiers behind the side had already raised their blades, and the soldiers controlling the oars on this side hurriedly picked up the blades next to them, but they could no longer care about paddling.
The entire warship suddenly lost its balance left and right, and slowly crossed in the current.
Zhang Shun gritted his teeth, separated the spear with a sword, and several guards rushed up to resist the Mongolian soldiers, while the crossbowmen had come to their senses and pulled the trigger on the Mongolian Tartars who rushed onto the boat. Zhang Shun hurriedly threw away the sword and grabbed the oar next to him:
"Go back to so-and-so, hold the oars!"
The panicked soldiers of Zhenjiang Mansion saw that their own capital pounced on them in person, and they didn't care about the Mongolian Tartars that might appear on one side at any time, so they gritted their teeth and rushed forward in the rain. In the wind and rain, one figure after another came one after another.
"Beat the drums, the sailors fight to the death!" Zhang Shun hissed.
The drums of war clanged in the wind and rain, as if the heavens and the earth were the roar of battle.
――――――――――――――――――
"You said that Chen Yiliang and his wife look a little abnormal?" A low voice came from the darkness, and the maid who stood there could not help but shiver.
But thinking about what she had seen, and then thinking about the heavy reward that had been said, the maid gritted her teeth and nodded solemnly: "That Chen Yiliang is clearly aware of something, and he is on guard against slaves and maids everywhere, as long as slaves and maids appear, they will always interrupt the conversation and then talk about some inconsequential things." ”
"It's not impossible," the faint figure in the darkness gradually appeared, a spring thunder exploded violently, accompanied by a dazzling electric light, the face revealed in the light flame was Jia Yidao's confidant Liu Mengyan, and standing in front of him was the maid who was kicked out of the house by Ye Yingwu because she didn't take a good look at the cat.
The maid looked at Liu Mengyan with some surprise, and Liu Mengyan's voice was still cold: "According to what Chen Yizhong said, this Chen Yiliang is his brother, and he is actually the role responsible for collecting wealth for the Chen family in Wenzhou, and all he knows is the big shopkeeper of the Chen family, and it stands to reason that he will deliberately cover it up in front of you, after all, the secrets of the Chen family's business should not be heard by outsiders." ”
The drum kept beating in her heart, and the maid still insisted: "But stay in the prime minister, this Chen Yiliang is definitely not a simple businessman, and the temperament he gives people can't be covered up even if he can't hide it, especially when the slave and maid hit the window with a cat and broke in, then Chen Yiliang's eyes are clearly killing intent, unless he has killed many people, it is impossible to have such a chilling feeling." ”
Liu Mengyan took two steps forward, reached out and gently lifted the maid's chin, and looked straight into her eyes: "Do you know that you have to be responsible for saying this." No matter what Chen Yiliang says, he is also Chen Yizhong's younger brother on the surface, if he rashly starts without any basis, once he catches the wrong person, you know what the consequences will be. That Chen Yizhong is not an easy character to deal with, when the time comes, if you say a bad word or two in front of Jia Xianggong, you and I will have to walk around without eating. ”
The maid was silent for a moment, but nodded reluctantly: "Liuxianggong, your worries are not unreasonable, but the slave also vaguely knows that now is the most important time for Jia Xianggong, and you must not relax, so even if you offend Chen Yizhong and Chen Xianggong, we must also figure out the origin of this Chen Yiliang, otherwise if it is a person from the Six Doors or some other force of unknown origin who wants to make trouble, it is difficult to guarantee that Jia Xianggong's plan will fall short." ”
Stunned, Liu Mengyan didn't know what to say, and the maid slowly took a step back and said in a cold voice: "Liuxianggong, our Imperial City Division has always preferred to kill by mistake and never let go, Liuxianggong has to think clearly." At least there are still a few of our people in Han Yuan now, don't wait for Chen Yiliang to find a way to drive out all these people, he can't regret it. ”
"It's not a small thing!" Liu Mengyan slapped the table, "This is not only about Pingjiang Mansion, about you and me, but also about Chen Xianggong in the court, once the wrong person is caught, it is not a matter of 'never let go', now this Chen Yizhong has been against this official, and this official can't clean him up for a while, and he does have some skills, since the last time Lu Shimeng died in the imperial city, there are fewer and fewer people around Jia Xianggong who can think that his left arm and right arm, this Chen Yizhong has been favored by Jia Xianggong, and it is very likely that he will replace Weng Yinglong with a certain one in the future, and he doesn't want to offend him now." ”
"But Liuxianggong, have you ever thought about what this Chen Yiliang will mean if there is a problem," another figure turned out in the dark, and his voice was a little hoarse.
The maid hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to say a word, apparently the successive characters made her realize the complexity of the matter, but also did not dare to allow herself to be completely involved.
"Little Jia Xianggong, you mean?" Liumengyan suddenly looked back and looked at Jia Yuqing who came out.
Jia Yuqing smiled in the dark: "If Chen Yizhong really has something, then this is the best opportunity to bring him down, Chen Yizhong is down, and you won't be the prime minister in the future?" Even if this Chen Yiliang is really just Chen Yizhong's clan brother, he is really just an ordinary businessman, so what's the matter, with the means of the Imperial City Division, he doesn't have to worry about him biting Chen Yizhong? ”
"Just one bite is enough, fornicating with Ye Yingwu, I'm afraid there is no more suitable charge than this." Liu Mengyan also understood, and looked at Jia Yuqing at the moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If it is really a businessman, it is not just a piece of cake to let him speak, not to mention that this lady of Chen Yizhong is really a good person, and ・・・・・・ when the time comes."
Jia Yuqing and Liu Mengyan looked at each other with a strange smile.
And the maid sighed secretly in her heart, bowed down and hid her whole person in the dark, at least her task had been completed, and it had nothing to do with her whether Liu Mengyan and Jia Yuqing were dead or alive.
A thunderbolt exploded in the sky, and the electric light set off the faces of Jia Yuqing and Liu Mengyan, which was extremely hideous and terrifying. (To be continued.) )
