"Adene?" Yang Ling looked her up and down a few times, she was very beautiful, especially the plump and graceful body of a Western girl was really exciting. She smiled humbly at Yang Ling, but there was still a noble and reserved temperament between her eyebrows. And her waist is straight, like a servant who is accustomed to groveling to people?

Yang Ling suddenly became suspicious, he turned around and walked to the table, lifted his robe and sat down, and said, "How did you come to Daming?" ”

"I'm from Agarve, my partner and I were kidnapped by pirates, they're dead, I came to the East with the pirate ship after more than a year's voyage, until I was sold to that Ming pirate as a slave girl not long ago, I thought I'd be."

Her beautiful big eyes overflowed with tears, she wiped her tears gently, and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I read a book called "The Travels of Marco Polo", which described a great country in the East, where there were huge commercial cities, excellent roads and bridges, and gorgeous palace buildings.

But even his relatives and friends did not believe that there was such a heavenly place in the world, and when he was dying, his relatives and friends asked him to confess to God, but he said that the beauty of the Orient that he described was less than half that of what he had seen with his own eyes, and now that he saw the beauty of this place with his own eyes, I believed his words. My lord, Adney has been betrayed by pirates and suffered, and I am willing to stay with you from now on, and serve you, please protect me," she said.

Yang Ling was unmoved, just smiled lightly and said, "Your Chinese words are good!" ”

"Huh?" Adney hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "The pirate ship that captured me hired many Ming people, and I have learned a lot in the past two years."

Yang Ling's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "So where are the pirates who kidnapped you now?" How many ships do they have? How many cannons? ”

Adney gave him a strange look and replied, "They have three merchant ships, which are also gunboats, each with twelve guns, and about two hundred sailors, who have been anchored in Luzon for some time."

"Luzon? Could it be that there is another group of pirates? Yes, during the Hongzhi period, there were Franc machine pirates who came to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and now they are entrenched in Manchu Jia may not be the only team that has come to the East now. ”

Yang Ling thought of this and looked at Adeni, who was kneeling there pitifully. It's been a long time since I've touched a woman, and Yang Ling can't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. Let's ask any man, in the face of such a beautiful woman with an extremely glamorous figure and an extremely angry figure, he can possess her without any responsibility or psychological burden, and with the encouragement of the worldly atmosphere, how many people can resist that temptation?

But I can't tell what psychology it is, because she is a woman sent by Cheng Qiyun, and Cheng Qiyun knows her existence, so Yang Ling just doesn't dare to touch her, and doesn't want Cheng Qiyun to imagine the scene of him and a strange woman upside down.

How difficult it is for a gentleman not to bully the dark room, Yang Ling dared to swear to Judge Cui that if it was someone else who sent her, such as the Bai Chongzan Bai who had a black face like Bao Gong all day long, but went to the kiln every other day, instead of Cheng Da Beauty, who was by his side every day, he would definitely really fall, sink, **, he shook his head, dispelled the thoughts in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold her and said: "Forget it, get up, from today."

When he said this, he was suddenly stunned, and his palm stroked Adney's palm a few times, and Adney blushed and withdrew her hand, but as if she was afraid of angering him, she looked at him worriedly.

Yang Ling's eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully: "You have been following the pirates for so long, and you have been given by them?" ”

Adney's face turned even redder, she had been in the South China Sea for two years, and she already knew that the Oriental man was extremely chaste, and she had finally reached a normal place, if this seemingly powerful adult disliked herself, that.

Thinking of this, she did not care about the shyness of the woman, and hurriedly said: "No, no, noble lord, Captain Pedro is a devout Christian, he does not approach women, he does not drink, and under his protection, no one touches me".

Yang Ling smiled deeply, took a step closer, and almost pasted it to her pretty face, so shocked that Adney took a step back nervously, and her hands clenched involuntarily, Yang Ling smiled and said, "Oh? So why did they leave your last name? ”

Adney swallowed nervously, and said sneeringly: "I will sew clothes and cook for them on the ship, and the sailors will take women and look for women when they are at anchor, but they will never touch me, I thought it was the protection of Captain Pedro, it turns out that he is just to sell for a good price"

Yang Ling straightened up, stared at her for a while, nodded and said, "Hmm! What a devout Christian, God loves gold."

He reached out and lifted Adney's smooth, graceful jaw, stared into her charming eyes and whispered, "Then do you know how you are going to serve me now that you belong to me?" ”

Adney's face became hot again, her eyes drifted shyly for a while, and finally bravely met Yang Ling's gaze, and plucked up the courage to say: "I know that my hometown is thousands of miles away, and I will never be able to go back, I don't want to wander on the deck all my life, and live with the pirates, I am willing to serve the adults."

Later, her voice was already a little trembling.

Yang Ling laughed, let go of her, twisted his fingers to feel the smoothness of her skin, and suddenly shouted: "Come in!" ”

The two little girls outside were startled, and they squeezed in smartly, Yang Ling looked at their pale little faces, and waved his hand funny: "Go, arrange a place for Adney, she is not familiar with the Ming people, so she takes care of her."

Adney looked at him with a pair of big eyes and confused, Yang Ling suddenly smiled a little evilly, and said, "What? Anxious to serve me? ”

Adney blushed, and hurriedly followed the two little girls out. Yang Ling squinted and watched her hurry, then turned around and looked at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, it was a pair of cursive script, a big "sword" character, dragon flying phoenix dance, iron painting silver hook, a straight ink blade like a sheath.

There was a long sword with red tassels hanging next to it, Yang Ling suddenly walked over and took off the sword, holding the sword scabbard in one hand and pinching the sword trick, and with the other hand, he danced a few swordsmanship with a "brush", and then returned the sword into the sheath with a "bang", and slowly spread out his palm.

These people practice swordsmanship diligently, and several parts of his palm have grown whitish calluses, Yang Ling touched his tiger's mouth again, and then said with a smile: "Musketeer, female swordsman, marksmanship does not need to be compared, I am curious and want to give it a try: see if Wudang swordsmanship is powerful, or Western fencing is excellent, hehe."

Cheng Qiyun was holding a book in her hand, but her eyes were staring at the flowers and plants in the courtyard outside the window railing, and she didn't know what to think in a trance: study well for three years and study badly for three days, even if Lord Yang has always been clean and self-conscious, but he has been cultivated in this officialdom for a long time, and he will not want a woman who does not need him to be responsible for sending it to the door, right?

In this world, it is said that princes and high-ranking officials are some famous scholars, who does not leave flowers and indulge in lust? As long as this elm pimple is opened, are you afraid that he won't fight his own idea? Since seducing Yang Ling and being teased by him, Dai Lou'er really didn't dare to take the initiative to try again.

But why is it that he is still sour in his heart when he is expecting that he will accept that woman? Cheng Qiyun sighed softly, she rubbed the tip of her nose, threw the book on the table, and lazily stretched her waist, at this moment the door opened with a "clang", Cheng Qiyun turned her head and saw Yang Ling, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, and said in a lost voice: "So fast?" ”

Yang Ling snorted, swaggered over and sat on the chair next to her, squinted at her and said, "What's so fast?" ”

"Huh? Oh! Oh, hehehe, do you have any instructions? Cheng Qiyun peeked at him, her eyes were very strange.

Yang Ling understood the meaning of her eyes, he snorted, and then said slowly: "That woman's name is Adney, she is a Franco, you want to find a way to probe her details."

Cheng Qiyun heard him mention the woman's name, and was about to make a joke, but when she heard this, her eyes immediately became sharp, and she said hurriedly: "The adult suspects that she is, it is impossible!" ”

She shook her head, frowned and said: "The sea dog wants to buy off the adult, in order to dominate the East China Sea, and giving you a rich woman is just to probe your attitude, if you laugh and accept, he will be a little more sure, as for the use, it is really impossible, not to mention that she is a foreign woman who can't find out any news, even if she gets the news, she doesn't want to send this governor's mansion."

Yang Ling said with a smile: "Sea Dog, naturally he wants to give me a heavy gift, he is afraid that I will not take ordinary things in my eyes, so he will have to collect rare things from foreign places, but I see that he stumbled by mistake, and the woman he sent is not just as simple as being abducted and trafficked."

This woman probably knows fencing, knows muskets, or at least her conversation and demeanor are by no means ordinary. But she was so beautiful as a captive slave, and she was so beautiful that she had been adrift for three years on a pirate ship where a group of men had gathered, and she had not been violated."

Cheng Qiyun's heart was sour when she heard this: "Alas! The adults still gave her after all, but he was too fast, right? According to what Li'er said, adults are not so useless, could it be that a Western woman has exotic charms? ”

Yang Ling said and spoke, seeing Cheng Qiyun's eyes rolling, he didn't know what to think, so he hurriedly knocked on the table and said, "Hey, did you hear what I said?" ”

"Huh? I heard you, what did you say? ”

Yang Ling said funny: "I said that this woman's identity is suspicious, how did she fall into the hands of the sea dog, it's hard to say." However, she probably knows quite a bit about Western pirates, and if we go to Guangdong, if we know the other side in advance, we will have a little more certainty of victory, and you will find a way to find out her bottom."

Only then did Cheng Qiyun understand, she glanced at Yang Ling with resentment, and muttered in a low voice: "Aren't you all aware of her bottom?"

"What?" Yang Ling didn't hear clearly, he was about to ask again, when a bell-like voice outside said: "Big handsome, big handsome, is it convenient to come in?" Why don't you come out for a while?"

As soon as Yang Ling heard the sound of Liu Dabang's mallet, he glanced at Cheng Qiyun, and when he saw that she turned her head away and didn't speak, he coughed embarrassedly, and shouted angrily: "What's inconvenient, get in!" ”

Liu Dabang responded simply, pushed the door in high, and saw Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun sitting in front of the window across a table, so he grinned: "Marshal, there is a Jinyi guard who said that there are 100,000 urgent military intelligence, you must personally face the adult, and take him into the backyard under the mark, I heard that you are here, I will."

As soon as Yang Ling heard the emergency military situation, he stood up and reprimanded: "Don't talk about it, where are the people?" ”

Liu Dabang was startled, and hurriedly said: "It's outside, belch, the adults called you in."

A young man in his early twenties flashed into the door, he was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, but the guards at the gate had checked his waist card and official documents, and it was indeed the dense line of Jinyi guards in Fujian.

This person entered the house, glanced at it and bowed to Yang Ling and said: "Humble Cheng Lu, the current Jinyi Wei Fujian Road 100 households, in accordance with the command of Mou, there is a major military situation reported to Governor Yang first, so I came to ask to see before!" ”

Yang Ling didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly asked, "What's the news?" ”

Cheng Lu untied his belt, took out a secret letter rolled inside, handed it to Yang Ling respectfully, and said: "This is a secret letter sealed by Lord Fujiang in Fujian Dao Town, Jinyi Wei, and I dare not open it."

Yang Ling saw that the letter was indeed sealed with fire paint, and there were actually three flying fish patterns on the cover, and he knew when he was doing a post at Jiming Post to transmit information to Jinyiwei that the three flying fish patterns were stamped, which was top-secret news, and the content inside must also be written in ciphers.

Yang Ling's heart tightened when he saw it, he had just heard a few good news about the battlefield situation today, but he was really afraid that something big would happen in Fujian, so he hurriedly said to Cheng Qiyun: "Quick, bring the secret letter that Master Mu handed over to me."

The so-called secret letter survey is equivalent to decoding the dictionary, Cheng Qiyun saw his expression and knew that the situation was serious, she hurriedly rushed back to the inner room, opened three locks from the secret cabinet made of pure copper, took out the secret letter and surveyed it, and rushed out and handed it to Yang Ling.

Yang Ling rushed to the table and spread out the survey, and compared it to the secret letter, Cheng Qiyun quietly observed Yang Ling's expression, and saw that he frowned at first after reading a few lines of words, and then his face had changed to pale, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Cheng Qiyun had never seen him so angry, and couldn't help but call out worriedly: "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Ling punched the "bang", shaking the teacup to the ground, and he scolded angrily: "Fujian political envoy, you should be killed!" Admiral of the Fujian Navy Division, it should be killed! Fujian patrol press the imperial envoy, should be killed! ”

Cheng Qiyun was shocked and said, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Ling slowly raised his head, there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows, and he shouted loudly: "Big stick mallet, immediately upload my order, summon Fujian political envoy Ruan Dawen, naval commander Zhou Hong, and patrol imperial envoy Zhai Qingshan to come to Suzhou to see me quickly!" ”

Liu Dabang mallet agreed, turned around and walked out, Yang Ling's eyes moved, and suddenly shouted: "Slow!" ”

Liu Dabang stopped and turned around, only to see Yang Ling pacing back and forth in the room for a few steps, and then said to him: "Take Lord Cheng down to rest, arrange food, keep your mouth tight, and don't say anything!" ”

Liu's mallet was also hairy, and he hurriedly agreed to pull Cheng Lu's sleeves, and the two hurriedly retreated.

At this time, only Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun were left in the room, Yang Ling sat silently on a chair, and said in a low voice: "Qiyun, take out a secret decree, I will take the sword of the Son of Heaven and immediately go to Fuzhou in the name of inspecting the affairs of Pingwei."

Cheng Qiyun was impatient, but Yang Ling, the method of Jinyiwei to decipher the secret letter, never told her, she paused and said: "If the adults want to go, I won't stop you, but you always have to let me understand, and I can arrange all the things in Suzhou."

Yang Ling waved his hand weakly, closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, and said softly for a while: "It is difficult for the Zhejiang Japanese Invaders to gain a foothold, and they have rushed into Fujian, plus the Japanese Invaders in Fujian, from Fuzhou and Ningzhou in the north, to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in the south, thousands of miles of coast, and they are constantly disturbed.

Fujian's political envoys were unfavorable to suppress the Japanese invaders, so they only knew how to retreat to Fuzhou and let the Japanese robbers rampant. The Japanese who went to Fujian by land joined forces with the Japanese in the Funing and Lianjiang areas to capture Shouning, Zhenghe, and Ningde, and the Japanese who went to Fujian by water joined forces with the Japanese in Fuqing and Changle to capture Xuanzhongwei, and Daejeon, Gutian, Kamata and other places are now in danger."

When he said this, he suddenly felt a movement on his shoulder, and he smelled a faint fragrance at the end of his nose, and his two small hands gently massaged his shoulders, and at the same time a delicate voice came from his ears: "My lord, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and now the morale of the officers and soldiers in the six provinces has been greatly boosted. Fujian is poor and poor, there are already many bandits, coupled with a large influx of Japanese robbers, they suffered some defeats for a while, and the adults redeployed troops and horses to encircle and suppress them.

Fujian's political envoys, admirals of the navy, and imperial envoys gather the highest officials in the military, government and finance of a province, even if the emperor wants to kill, he has to weigh it again and again.

As soon as Yang Ling grasped her silky palm, Cheng Qiyun's body shook, she hesitated, and also held Yang Ling's hand.

Yang Ling said: "Qiyun, the great Kou of the Japanese State Miyamoto Hao attacked Chaozhou first, and then set sail to the city of Fuzhou, the political envoy Ruan Dawen was at a loss, and discussed with Zhou Hong, the commander of the navy, and the imperial envoy Zhai Qingshan, and privately transferred 60,000 taels of silver, together with the six newly built warships of the Quanzhou shipyard to hand over to the Japanese Kou, 'buying' their own side to 'stabilize'.

The Japanese took advantage of our Ming warship, turned around and attacked Fuhai, bombarded the county government, killed the county commander Lin Enyuan, and wantonly plundered Taizhou, Hui'an, Changle, Zhangzhou and other places, slaughtering poison. And our Lord Nguyen is anxious to collect taxes from the people whose families are ruined to make up for the treasury. Six warships, under the pretext of being defeated and sinking into the sea, are presenting official documents to our governor's yamen."

He was silent for a moment, suddenly clenched Cheng Qiyun's hand, and said word by word: "Qiyun, I'm going to kill someone!" ”
