Chapter 201: Infighting in the Phoenix Society (Part II)

Chen Zhiduo was placed under house arrest in a remote lonely house, he was ashamed of Zen Master Huineng thirty years ago, cut off his feet to apologize, and since then he has become disabled, but he is strong in martial arts, if he is twenty years younger, even if he has no legs, he can climb out of the high wall and deep courtyard, but now he is nearly seventy years old, his body is thin, and he has no ability to climb the wall, so he can only be locked in the high wall, sighing to the moon.

Chen Zhiduo was placed under house arrest by his son Chen Anbang because Wujin issued a Jin'an order, ordering all members of the Jin'an Society to gather, Chen Zhiduo was going to cross the sea, and clearly told Anbang and the two brothers that even if Wujin did not want to be the lord of the Ryukyus, he decided to hand over the 10,000 troops of the Phoenix Society to Wujin.

This decision was strongly influenced by the children of the Chen family, the second son Dingguo advocated a knife and two sections with the Jin'an Society, Tianfeng was dead, the Chen family had no obligations, and the eldest son Anbang preferred to send troops to help the Jin'an Society, but the army was still controlled by the Chen family.

And Chen Zhiduo decided to send the army without reservation, which made Chen Anbang, who was in a neutral position, not do it, and finally the brothers discussed, decided to let his father support the elderly, no longer ask about the Phoenix Society, house arrest of his father is only a temporary move, and after the end of the Jin'an Meeting, they will let their father retire for the elderly, but unexpectedly, the reincarnation of heaven, retribution is unhappy, Chen Anbang has not had time to release his father, but he himself was overthrown by his son and imprisoned.

Chen Zhiduo was secretly placed under house arrest by his two sons, only Chen Anbang's adopted daughter Yu Hailan knew the secret, she was responsible for taking care of the elderly, and later when Yu Hailan fled, she told Chen Ying the secret.

Chen Zhiduo has two deaf and dumb servants to serve him, and more importantly, he is disheartened with his two sons and does not want to ask about the Phoenix Society anymore.

At the beginning of the night, Chen Zhiduo also sat in his room as usual to read, reading books has become the only thing he can do, Chen Anbang also thought about his father, and sent all the books in the Ryukyu Palace, so that his room was filled with thousands of books.

There was a soft sound in the courtyard, Chen Zhiduo put down the book, looked up and looked out the window, "Who!" ”

"Grandfather, it's me!"

The door opened, and I saw my granddaughter Chen Ying walk in quickly, knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and cried, "Grandfather, Ying'er thought you had died....."

Chen Zhiduo only has this one granddaughter, Chen Ying has been his heart and soul baby since he was a child, Chen Ying's martial arts are also taught by him personally, he heard his granddaughter say that he thought he was dead, and he couldn't help but be angry and funny, "Ying'er, isn't my grandfather alive and well?" Grandfather is still waiting to see you and Wujin's great-grandson! ”

It was Chen Zhiduo's idea to give his granddaughter Chen Ying to Wujin at the earliest, and later got the support of his daughter, that is, Wujin's mother Chen Fenghuang, she was still pregnant, she said that if she was a son, she would marry Chen Ying as his wife, because Chen Anbang was a little disgusted with Wujin's stupidity, after Tianfeng's death, no one mentioned this matter, but Chen Ying has always taken this to heart, a few years ago, Wujin came to the island, although he was stupid, Chen Ying had a deep love for him, which really made Chen Zhiduo feel gratified.

When Chen Ying heard her grandfather mention Wujin, she felt sad in her heart, so she whispered: "Grandfather, the phoenix will be in danger, and the granddaughter also escaped and asked her grandfather for help." ”

Chen Zhiduo was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's my eldest brother, who, in order to ascend the throne, staged a coup d'Γ©tat and imprisoned his father and uncle....."

Chen Ying told her grandfather in detail about what happened, and finally cried: "When my granddaughter heard the news, my eldest brother wanted to send my father and uncle to a desert island and beg my grandfather to save my father!" ”

Chen Zhiduo was so angry that he trembled, "I must kill this evil grandson!" ”

Zhang Siyi, who was standing at the door, also came in and knelt down, "Old island master, the situation is urgent, I beg the old island master to go to save the lord immediately." ”

"Good! I'll go with you. ”

Zhang Siyi carried Chen Zhiduo on his back and quickly ran out of the house, the two servants wanted to stop them, but they were knocked unconscious by Chen Ying, and the three of them went to the Phoenix Society camp.

......... The port of Ryukyu is a natural strait and a bay, the western strait can accommodate thousands of warships, and the eastern bay is close to the capital, and the east wharf is built, mainly civilian ships, but there are also dozens of old warships.

And on the flat ground south of the strait, there are dozens of rows of houses, surrounded by huge wooden fences, and there is a passage in front and back, one road leads to the strait, and the other road leads to the capital, which is where the camp of the Phoenix Society is located, and there are nearly 10,000 sailors stationed in it, but in the eyes of the imperial court, it is tens of thousands of pirates.

In addition to these more than 9,000 sailors, the Phoenix Society also has 3,000 guards [***], who are stationed in the capital and mainly control the Ryukyu Kingdom.

At this time, the hall of the main camp was brightly lit, and nearly 100 generals of the Phoenix Society, such as army generals, generals, and commanders, all knelt on the ground, and on the wooden platform in front of him, Chen Zhiduo sat cross-legged, his face was full of anger, and he scolded everyone, "I have only been caring about the affairs of the Phoenix Society for a few days, and you are in such a mess, conniving at the crime under the obstacle, imprisoning my father and uncle, is this the Phoenix Society I brought out?" ”

Forty years ago, he led 30 fishermen across the sea to stand on their own, and in 40 years, he turned an inconspicuous small pirate gang into an army that crisscrossed the seas.

He pointed at the army general Zhao Fa, "You explain this matter to me!" ”

Zhao Fa is in his early forties this year, is the third person in the Phoenix Society, forty years ago, he was a three-year-old orphan, adopted by Chen Zhiduo, and taught him martial arts when he grew up, he regarded Chen Zhiduo as his father, he was very good at martial arts, especially good at water warfare, but he was very stubborn, and he was a hot and stubborn temper.

He was frightened, and hurriedly explained: "The major general came to me for half a month, saying that the main surrender of the Chuzhou naval army, I went to ask the master, and the master did not deny it, I heard that more than 1,000 warships of the Chuzhou naval army have sailed towards the Ryukyus, it is obvious that the Chuzhou naval army negotiation is fake, is to take the opportunity to exterminate the Phoenix Society, I persuaded the master, but the master did not listen, at this time the young general and I discussed, in order to avoid the fall of the Phoenix Society, you can temporarily put the master under house arrest, and wait until we defeat the Chuzhou navy, and then report to the master, I think it is also reasonable, He agreed to the Major General's plan. ”

"So you imprisoned the guild master, and now you're going to send him to a desert island to be killed, is that right?"

Chen Zhiduo scolded sharply, scaring everyone in the hall, he actually wanted to kill the master, Zhao Fa even kowtowed repeatedly, "Island master, give me 10,000 guts, I don't dare to hurt the master." ”

Chen Zhiduo, Zhao Fa's mind is not flexible enough, it seems that he was being used by that evil grandson, his anger calmed down a little, and he immediately ordered: "You immediately take someone to release the leader and deputy leader, and also, arrest the evil grandson who dares to ascend the throne without authorization, go quickly!" ”

Zhao Fa didn't dare to disobey Chen Zhiduo's order, he stood up and ran out, shouting: "Order three thousand, follow me into the city!" ”

Chen Ying suddenly knelt down in front of Chen Zhiduo and cried: "Ask grandfather to spare my eldest brother's life!" ”

Chen Zhiduo sighed, "Why don't I want to kill my grandson, but if I don't kill him, the Phoenix Club will be over, Ying'er, I should not have this grandson, you should not have this big brother!" ”

"But... But he's my brother after all! Chen Ying burst into tears.

Chen Zhiduo's eyes were also red, but he said ruthlessly: "If I am one step late, it will be that you have to cry for your father, he can't do anything for power, Ying'er, don't ask for it again, such a grandson, if I spare him, my Chen family will cut off the children and grandchildren." ”

Chen Ying knew that her eldest brother really couldn't survive, she suddenly cried and fell to the ground, Chen Zhiduo sighed, Ying'er is a woman in the end, her heart is too weak, she has to be married early.

After about half an hour, a commander suddenly stumbled into the lobby, only to see him covered in blood, kneeling on the ground and shouting sadly: "Island master, it's not good, Zhao Dajun was ambushed and killed by random arrows, the master of the meeting has been kidnapped, and the second master of the meeting.... also killed. ”

When Chen Zhiduo heard that his second son Dingguo had died, he was immediately furious, his eyes were dark, and he fainted on the wooden platform, so frightened that Chen Ying and other generals rushed forward and shouted: "Grandfather! Owner! ”

After a while, Chen Zhiduo slowly woke up, he gritted his teeth and sat up straight, stared at the commander and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"The city gate is closed, Zhao Dajun will ask Chen Qi to release the master of the meeting and the lord of the second meeting, Chen Qi said to release the lord of the second meeting first, the city gate is wide open, the lord of the second meeting runs out of the city, Zhao Dajun will be defenseless, he just stepped forward, the head of the city is full of arrows, and the army of Zhao and the lord of the second will be shot to death."

"Good! is a good Chen Qi, ruthless, and really my good grandson. ”

Chen Zhiduo trembled, he turned back to another general, Li Junxiong, and said: "I now appoint you to replace Zhao Fa as the general of the army, there are only three thousand guards in the city [***], Chen Qi does not dare to stay in the city for a long time, he will inevitably seize the ship at the east pier and flee, you immediately lead the naval army to intercept me, you must save the master, that evil grandson, life or death!" ”

Li Junxiong agreed, he immediately ordered the sailors to get on board, in the dark, countless sailors rushed to the warships in the strait, and the boatmen also got up one after another to start the boat, and in a moment, hundreds of warships of all sizes were activated, and sailed out of the strait in a mighty way, heading around the bay three miles away.

On the way, the fleet stopped dozens of old warships that had just sailed out of the bay, and the commander of the escort [***] was Chen Qi's henchman Jiang Ying, who was also the general of the Phoenix Society, that is, he shot Chen Dingguo with his own hands, he knew that he could not be spared, so he ordered the ships to break through, under the night, the waves were monstrous, the big ships collided in the dark, the arrows on the sea were like rain, and people kept screaming arrows and falling into the sea.

Protect [***] was originally part of the Phoenix Society, fifteen years ago, Chen Zhiduo disbanded the Ryukyu [***] team, and transferred 3,000 people from the Phoenix Society to form a new Ryukyu [***], renamed Hu [***], but this aroused the dissatisfaction of the locals, in order to calm the anger of the locals, Chen Anbang successively recruited soldiers from the natives to join the Hu [***], and now most of the Hu [***] are local natives, although they are still controlled by the Phoenix Society, but they have a bad relationship with the Phoenix Society composed of Han people, From time to time, small friction occurs.

As the warship holding Chen Anbang and other Chen's children was taken away by the Phoenix Society, the guards began to be chaotic, and the ships were constantly being knocked and sunk, and the sea was full of soldiers who fell into the water for help and countless corpses that were killed by arrows.

While the two armies were fighting among themselves, a 500-stone fishing boat quietly sailed into the dark sea from the other side of the pier a few miles away...... At dawn, the Phoenix Society began to count the ships, and successively fished more than 1,000 dead corpses onto the big boats, but there was no trace of Chen Qi, and no one knew his whereabouts.

Jiang Ying, the only leader who might know the inside story, was also killed in the chaos.
