278 Cloth nets to drive fish

"Tired of the past two days, haven't you? Now that everything has been arranged, let Zheng Lao urge the people of the Ordnance Bureau to step up production, you can take a break for the past two days, and don't run there every day. I have instructed Governor Liu to allocate four times the wages to the Ordnance Bureau, and the craftsmen are also working hard."

Yang Ling crossed Erlang's legs and took a sip of tea.

"Well, I like to stay by your side, but I'm so bored when you're dealing with official business, and I don't have anything to say to others, so I'm very comfortable going to the Ordnance Bureau, and the workers there are very good." Adney sat on the edge of the bed, took off her shoes, and said as she changed into soft boots.

"Hehe, it will definitely be stuffy if you stay in the boudoir all day long, where you are like a fish in water, not only those craftsmen, I am afraid that Zheng Lao admires you very much. I can't help you go in and out, you can go anywhere, but remember to bring the guards, the world is still not peaceful."

Adney smiled and said in a nickname, "Don't worry, my lord."

She patted her waist, took out two delicate short firecrackers and put them on the bed, and said proudly: "Look, I transformed, the original firearms produced by the Ordnance Bureau have poor range, lethality and accuracy, and with these two muskets in hand, no one can get close to me."

Yang Ling glared at her and said, "Don't be careless! Do you think that the thieves of the Ming Dynasty are the same as yours, ten or eight together, which is the grand thief who caused a sensation in the whole country? The Ming Dynasty has a large population, and there are at least hundreds of people in gangs for thieves, and if someone really wants to fight you, two muskets will not help at all."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the head of the bed and said, "By the way, change to that red one, your facial features are curved, and you are beautiful and vulgar with bright colors, which is very moving." And then show the way you were when you first saw me, cowering and at the mercy of others, and it would be perfect."

Adney glared at him alarmingly and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Yang Ling laughed and said, "Today the snow cat sent his eldest son to send me some prisoners and booty, he knows that the sea dog gave me a beautiful woman in the West, and he is very favored, and he is inseparable from each other. I'm going to meet him, you have to accompany me to act, stimulate him, and the snow cat's heart to invite merit must be stronger. ”

Adeni suddenly grimaced at him and smiled.

Yang Ling said again: "By the way, Xu Jing and Wu Qingyuan and other wealthy people are the most powerful people in the Jiangnan family who support this official. Due to the investment in shipyards, donations to suppress the Japanese and the tension of the war in the East China Sea, shipping has almost completely stopped. In fact, the Xu family has always secretly had a maritime business, and they have suffered huge losses for this.

Now that the war in Haijiang is a little calmer, several wealthy people have prepared several ships of goods and are eager to transport them to Luzon. It is my established policy to replace the private armament of these maritime smugglers with sailors, and to exchange them for their political and financial support, and this is a beginning. ”

"Yang, you decided to use a sailor to help him get on this trip?" Adney stood up as she spoke, hung her coat on the copper hook beside the bed, picked up the red lake silk beetle from the bed and changed it into, and took a horn comb and combed her hair.

Her right hand was raised high, slightly looser than her nails, revealing the crimson lake gauze bandeau inside the neckline, where the plump breasts squeezed out a graceful and firm mound shape, making Yang Ling's gaze linger.

"Well, the Xu family's silk, tea and porcelain made an astonishing profit as soon as they came off the boat, and they bought cypress, sandalwood, Luo Hu incense, and even priceless ambergris on the way back, as well as gemstones, glass, and 'Su Ma Liqing' used to color porcelain, etc., and you can eat it for a year on a boat trip.

Even if it is a peach to repay the plum, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the Jiangnan Shi clan, which is a big deal. What's more, it didn't go far, but it was only transported to Luzon, and then it was transported out by people. The sea route was mainly the area of Bai Xiaocao, and the Western pirates of Luzon disappeared after the First World War on Dulong Island, and they did not dare to move around anymore, so I don't think there was much risk. Besides, if there is no risk at all, what else is there to do with an armed convoy? ”。

Adney's eyes flashed, her hand combing her hair suddenly stopped in the air, and her face changed slightly: "Yang, do you want me to lead the sailor to help them transport the goods?" ”

Yang Ling was stunned and said with a smile: "How come? I know you're a connoisseur of ships and wars, captain of the Royal Navy, huh. I am now rectifying the naval division and the military force, these things are actually planned by you, and of course people must know about the transfer of troops. Sending you? I'm not willing to do it. Even if there is a slight risk, I am reluctant to let you go, if I am taken captive again, won't I go crazy in a hurry? ”

Adney said happily, "Yang, I've been there with those pirates for two years. I really have an inexplicable fear of Luzon, especially when you're not by my side. Actually, I'd love to do anything for you. If you decide to conquer Manthorn, Adney is more than willing to be your warrior! ”

Yang Ling got up and walked to her, helped her fasten the button of the armor, and said softly: "You must be very familiar with their tactics, I will take you with me then, but not as a warrior, but as a general." The King of Portugal is so stingy that he has given you a little captain of this genius girl."

He smiled and said, "I'm going to promote Captain Adney to general, a female general, Ya Li. General Adney. ”

Adney's eyes were hazy, like a pair of charming cat's eyes, shining with seduction.

She walked gently to Yang Ling's side, hugged him, rubbed her cheek lightly on his cheek, and said softly: "Oh, I'd rather be Yang earlier. Ya Li. Lady Adeney. Yang, dear Yang, I love you. ”。

Yang Ling smiled and said, "I love you too, Adney, Your Excellency General!" ”

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger. With Adney's background, appearance, intelligence and talent, in the Western upper class, she is a beautiful baroness who can call the wind and rain, but in Daming, except for Yang Ling, she really has no one to rely on and trust. At this moment, the true feelings are revealed, and that attachment and admiration are from the heart.

She doesn't know how to use her own capital to charm men, but her sincere words and affectionate eyes can also move people.

Yang Ling felt pity in his heart, and his two lips gently kissed together, and the tips of his tongues were entwined and sucked. His hands naturally slid down the curves of Adney's silky body.

The graceful curves of Adeney's sides tightened to her waist and then to her hips. The buttocks of a virgin are compact and swollen like the fruit of grouting. Yang Ling grasped the two rounds, and when his fingers touched it, there was an amazing elasticity in the soft and heavy.

Adney was panicked by his caresses, she enjoyed the kiss with Yang Ling very much, but the caress of the body, such an overly intimate action, it was difficult for a girl who had never been in a relationship to adapt immediately.

Adeni only felt that her heart was beating short, her feet were weak, her legs bent to the edge of the bed, and she sat on the bed, which escaped from Yang Ling's clutches. She glanced at Yang Ling shyly, and muttered a few words in a slightly hoarse and magnetic voice.

Yang Ling rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Don't talk to me about birds, what did you just say?" ”

Adney shook her head shyly, thought about it and suddenly smiled again, glanced at him playfully, there was love in her eyes, and said astringently: "Yang, are you going to promote Captain Adney, or are you going to overthrow Captain Adney?" ”

After saying this pun, she hunched down and escaped from his side, leaving only a string of cheerful laughter and Yang Ling with a wry smile on his face.

At the wharf of Fuzhou, Xu Jing, Wu Jiyuan and other wealthy merchant ships in the south of the Yangtze River were about to go to sea.

On the sea, the boat plows the blue waves, and the waves splash. Four six-masted galleons belonging to Snow Cats, laden with pirates and captive widows, were heading for the port of Fuzhou.

Eight warships with new guns on the upper and lower decks were moored in the harbor, and the officers and soldiers, sailors, and merchants were busy, and the wharf was full of prosperity.

Yang Ling arranged for the East China Sea thief Snow Cat to be captured and the Jiangnan giant merchant to transport goods to sea on the same day, and at the same time displayed a strong lineup of sailors, which naturally has a deep and important meaning.

The Ming Army's naval division was originally equipped with three new ships, and three more were equipped with the captured Franc cannons, plus the cannons built by the Nanjing Firearms Bureau and the Fuzhou Firearms Bureau at night, and they were fully armed with eight warships.

Yang Ling ordered the Zhejiang Navy to send new warships to escort Xu Jing and the others' four large merchant ships to Fuzhou, and then set sail from Fuzhou Port to the sea. Of course, the only warships that will actually send out escorts at that time are two warships with new naval guns and two ordinary warships.

At the same time, because the private ships of these maritime giants originally had combat functions, and the sailors on board were actually soldiers who were good at naval warfare, so they did extraordinary things in extraordinary times, and in order to be safe, Yang Ling allowed these merchant ships to be equipped with eight ordinary guns each.

Such a powerful firepower can only be matched by Western pirates with sharp firearms. Moreover, they also had to know in advance the exact route of the convoy and the detailed route of the route, and at the same time send more than half of the armed forces, in the case that the caravan is willing to fight a decisive battle with it, otherwise there is such a powerful force, the vast sea is full of roads, and there is basically no risk for the caravan to escape without fighting under the cover of the warship.

The waves in the harbor gently lap against the ship's side, and the porters are loading all kinds of goods into the ship, including water, meat, rice, fruits, and vegetables. Because of the importance of going to sea this time, Peng Shark specially sent his eldest son, Peng Dayong, a Zhejiang sailor, as the captain, and the leader of the merchant group was Xu Lun, the second master of the Xu family.

Xu Lun is in his early thirties, dressed in a straight silk shirt and wearing a square scarf, looking polite. Peng Dayong is in his forties, with a black and red face, short and strong, calm and shrewd and strong. The two accompanied Yang Ling, He Bingwen, Han Wu and others, followed by the leading officers and businessmen of each ship.

"It's not too far to run Luzon, but when sailing on the sea, you have to be prepared for natural disasters [***], and in case of a storm, you may not know how long you will drift at sea, so you can't be careless about what you should prepare."

Don't look at Xu Lun Siwen Ruxiushi, when the imperial court banned the sea, he was the owner of the Xu family's smuggling boat, he was a showman when he wore a robe, and he was a bandit when he was shirtless.

"My lord, please see, in addition to rice, grain, and water, we must also prepare more fruits, beans, etc., and these seafarers will get sick without them. Fruits should not be carried, so they are prepared into dried fruits and preserves, as well as dried vegetables, pickled vegetables and beans, and fresh fish can be caught at any time, but there is no need to prepare. ”

Yang Ling nodded and said with a smile: "Young Master Xu has been running boats all year round and has a wealth of knowledge." In this regard, it is not the director of our sailor, I have to ask Xu Gongzi for more guidance all the way, and in the future, my Daming sailor will sail all over the world, and if you don't pay attention to these things, you will suffer a big loss."

Xu Lun was flattered, and hurriedly smiled: "It should be, it should be, I don't dare to tell Master Lao." In fact, to travel back and forth to Luzon, even in the event of a storm, you don't have to prepare so much, hehe, mainly because of the escort of the labor sailor, my brother didn't want to go, so I prepared more of these things. Because I was worried that some sailors and brothers didn't like fish, they also prepared bacon and bacon on board."

Yang Ling laughed and said: "To be a soldier, you have to look like a soldier, Xu Gongzi don't get used to them too much." If these soldiers are all fat-headed and big-eared, how will they fight in the future? ”

He glanced at Peng Dayong with a smile and said: "Raising soldiers for a thousand years, using soldiers for a while, Xu Gongzi is kind and loving, and the safety of this road will be entrusted to you."

Peng Dayong hugged his fists and said: "I will follow the instructions of my lord, my father said, this trip, I want to be careful, people are in the boat, people are not in the boat, and they must not be embarrassed by the adults and our Ming sailors."

Yang Ling patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and at this moment, Governor Liu hurriedly came and saluted him: "My lord, the snow cat in the East China Sea has offered prisoners and property to your lordship, and four big ships have been moored outside the port, asking your lordship to allow me."

Yang Ling waved his hand and said lightly: "Let him wait first." Come on, Master Xu, please come here." As he spoke, he walked forward calmly, as if he didn't care.

Although they were wealthy and had weapons on board, in order to avoid trouble, in the past, they still had to donate money to the four major Kou Jin in accordance with the rules.

They had long heard that Wang Meiren and Bai Xiaocao had been attached to the imperial court, and now this sailor was led by the eldest son of Peng Shark, the old master of Putuo Mountain.

Now seeing the great thief Snow Cat offering prisoners of war and booty to Qincha, there is no doubt that this person has also surrendered, at least three of the four Kou families in the East China Sea have accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and it is rumored that the sea dog is also secretly discussing with the imperial court to recruit security, and it seems that the East China Sea will soon be pacified.

Today, I see that the ships of the Ming Naval Division are strong and sharp, and with the protection of such a powerful naval division, where can I not go to the ends of the earth? In the future, the number of running boats can be greatly increased, the goods carried can be transported more, and the profits are unimaginable.

Some tycoons who are usually too cautious turned out to be just Xu Jing, Wu Jiyuan and others who actively invested in shipping and participated in the imperial court sailors, so they followed the trend and invested some funds, and they were still nervous about this, for fear that the money would not be returned. Seeing this situation now, I can't help but secretly regret that I had invested too little in Longjiang Shipyard and Jiangnan Maritime Yamen in the past, and I lacked the capital to speak if I wanted to reap benefits from them in the future.

These people have a keen sense of smell, and they are the best at touching and looking for business opportunities from the wind and grass, and now seeing this situation, they have begun to secretly calculate their ideas one by one, and they are ready to invest more operating funds in Gu Dayong's yamen after returning to Suzhou and Hangzhou, so as to seek the greatest benefits.

Yang Ling stood on the dock with Xu Lun and the others casually, until the goods were loaded, the anchor was lifted, and then they were sent away, and the big ship slowly set off.

Yang Ling watched the fleet leave, and then whispered to Han Wu: "I will wait for him in the tea room of the arrival dock, and ask them to let them enter at the gate, without the slightest difficulty, and also, do not send troops to guard, do not go on the ship to check, as long as you do not carry weapons, allow sailors to disembark."

When more than ten warships escorted several huge merchant ships and set sail out to sea, the fleet of snow cats just happened to pass in, and the guns of the two layers of black holes on the side of the Ming Navy battleship were close at hand.

Snow Cat's surname is Wen, and his eldest son is named Zhiyuan. Although this young man has a good name, he is not as ambitious as his father hoped, but a guy with great ambitions and talents.

He is obviously a pirate, he prefers vassal elegance, plainly dressed in a light robe, holding a small fan, and always likes to pretend to be gentle and elegant, but the image of the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks looks like a well-dressed monkey.

He is the son of the snow cat, and the snow cat's subordinates dare not be disrespectful, but the other pirates of the islands gave him the nickname: cheap cat.

The cheap cat entered the wharf tea room accompanied by the sailor general, and when she saw that the governor was the same age as herself, she couldn't help but keep her eyes on it, so she held a small fan in her hand, stepped forward and gave a deep salute and said: "Xiaosheng Wen Zhiyuan, I have seen the governor."

Yang Ling sat on the chair sipping tea with a big sting, and a woman in a red shirt in front of him was squatting there gently beating his thigh, hearing him speak, Yang Ling raised his eyelids and glanced at him, waved his hand and said: "This is not a court, don't be formal, come, sit, sit."

Saying that, he handed the teacup to the woman in front of him, the woman stood up, her eyes drooped, and while others were not paying attention, she quickly glanced at him, and took advantage of the cup to pinch a handful in his palm, and then took the cup and retreated to the side.

The cheap cat thanked and sat on the side seat, and saw that this beauty looked different from the Central Plains woman, with black curly hair, a high nose and deep eyes, and a unique charm in the pretty, and her eyes couldn't help but be all the time.

He itched in his heart: "Presumably this is the Western beauty that the dog master gave to Yang Ling?" It's really beautiful. Yang Ling took her with him to the dock, it seems that the dog master really sent a wonderful person to him, and we are really behind."

Yang Ling glanced at him and said, "I heard that the owner of Snow Cat Island is fighting against the Japanese invaders everywhere on the sea, and the results are extraordinary, and the official has already sent someone to Jingli to ask for merit for him."

The cheap cat was busy collecting his thoughts, and said respectfully: "The father of the little generation thanked the adult, and the father of the family accepted the court's invitation to be very sincere. This time, Xiaosheng deliberately brought the captured Japanese people and their property to the adult, and with the effective suppression of the Japanese people, there will definitely be sacrifices in the future. As for the court, please ask your Excellency to say a lot of kind words."

"Haha, naturally, at this time, the official has just sent a caravan to sea, and you also saw it. The people of Guidao are sailing at sea all the year round, and when the sea is passed, the sailors are in urgent need of talents in this area. If the lord of Wendao behaves appropriately, the official will recommend him to the emperor as the admiral of the sea, what do you think? ”

The cheap cat listened enthusiastically, how great the real power of this maritime admiral is, and at that time, the people who deal with it all day long are rich businessmen and rich people, and there is plenty of oil and water. I brought some private goods with me, and said that I would go into the gold. Moreover, if the imperial court really let them supervise the shipping, they would inevitably have to be equipped with the kind of heavy artillery that could be equipped on both upper and lower decks.

At that time, more than 100 of their own ships are all equipped with this kind of sharp weapon, and they can be officials when they enter, and they can be bandits when they retreat, who can compete with such strength? If you take advantage of the convenience of shipping to the sea, you can not only use the financial and material resources of the imperial court, but also read a country at sea and do whatever you want, such a deal is too worthwhile.

Yang Ling opened his mouth, wrote a blank check that would never be cashed, opened the beautiful heart of the cheap cat, stood up and thanked him again and again. Yang Ling said with a smile: "It is rare that the Lord of Wen Island is fiercely loyal to the imperial court, so this official will accept the prisoner first, and then wash the dust for the prince Wen."

This is the first time to present a gift, and the snow cat does not dare to be too shabby, in addition to tying up a large number of Japanese people whose hands are stained with blood, they also send a large number of Japanese family members and belongings.

Yang Ling symbolically made a reception ceremony, and then ordered He Bingwen to escort all the personnel and property away for disposal, and then arranged a place for Wen Zhiyuan. It was an official's mansion that was confiscated a few days ago, and this mansion with a garden and a building was given to him, and the title deed was handed over on the spot, as for the four pirate ships, moored in the port, Yang Ling did not send heavy troops to guard them, and secretly ordered Han Wu to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, as long as no one made trouble, let them go ashore and return to the ship, go out to sea and enter the port, and never do the slightest obstruction.

Although Yang Ling did not accompany him personally, he asked the Fuzhou prefect and the officials of the Navy to accompany Wen Zhiyuan to the banquet, and sent him to Paima Pai, who was extremely enthusiastic about him, and also arranged for several Fuzhou celebrities with good colors and arts to accompany him.

When those servants and guards saw him as the eldest prince of Wen, they were even more sure to call him a son, and they would act like an adult, respectfully coaxing a cheap cat to dance with their eyebrows, and they had a sense of joy.

Wen Zhiyuan lived in Fuzhou for three days, and then he was reluctant to leave and return to the island. After listening to Wen Zhiyuan's reply, the snow cat was a little more convinced than Ma Kongwen's words brought back, after all, it was his own flesh and blood.

He inquired in detail about the movements in Fuzhou in the past few days, and heard that the military and political officials had a great respect for his son, and that the pirate ships anchored in the harbor were not guarded by guards even at night, and they were extremely lenient with them, and finally completely relieved themselves.

Yang Lingyun's position as the admiral of the maritime navy is like a handful of grass hanging in front of a donkey, attracting the snow cat to stare at this position and do his best to suppress the Japanese in order to please the imperial court.

Linglong Cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and because it is inhabited all year round, there is less humidity. On the stone bed, the sea dog is sleeping with a plump and white woman in his arms. His massive body pressed against the woman, revealing only a smooth, white thigh and a sleek pink arm from beneath him.

This woman was Hanako, the favorite concubine of the pirate Koizumi Fujio of Tsushima, who was originally a famous maiko and was bought by him with a lot of money. After repeated setbacks in the land of the Ming Dynasty, Fujio retained a relatively large strength, retreated to the sea in a panic, bribed the sea dog with a lot of money, and gave him this favorite concubine, in order to temporarily stay in his sphere of influence, and wanted to wait for the rumors of the suppression on the side of the book to subside before sneaking back to the book.

The fur dog muttered a few words, and the big hands grabbed the plump Roshan Fengqiu, and the body twisted a few times. The woman below her moved uncomfortably, waking him up, and the fur dog opened her eyes, smiled with a smile, and kissed her on the chest.

The energy and physical strength of the sea dog are really amazing, and his needs are so excessive that even such a weathered woman can't stand it. Hanako felt the vigorous beating below fill her body again, and she had to fight her spirit, and the two flesh worms twisted together. At this moment, the old spirit ran back from the outside, and it was common for the sea dog to even have fun with him during the day, and he had no taboos, so he didn't care that the sea dog was charging into battle, just stood there and roared urgently: "Boss, Zheng Erba's people couldn't bear it, and ran out to do business, they robbed a merchant ship that was transporting goods from the sea to Shandong."

The fur dog raised his head from the plump Roshan, and smiled nonchalantly while moving his body: "Hailu? Hehe, damn it, it must be stealing from the government to sell smuggled goods, and the robbery will be robbed, you are afraid of a fart! ”

"Ouch" was accompanied by a ruthless, and there was a groan under him.

Lao Jing paused and said: "The problem is that they are not clean, the sailor's boat patrols here, they retreated in a hurry, leaving a living mouth, and this group of bastards is still hanging the flag of our Shuangyu, and this matter is spreading."

"What?" The sea dog stopped for a moment, then jumped down from the stone bed naked, scratched his bald head and scolded: "This dog said, tell them to be closer to the peace, and they will cause trouble for me, well, second, what do you say?" ”

The old spirit frowned and said, "It's not a big deal to talk about this matter, and the surname Yang may not be able to do anything to us." But Master Mao has already set up a line with Lord Yang alone, and our chips are much smaller this time, and I don't think he will be willing to sell our accounts so much.

The boss gave him a generous gift, and he has not been able to refuse clearly, otherwise He Si would have run here every now and then, and he would not have been without a letter for the rest of the year, and he was obviously dragging us down. This time, Zheng Erba's people hijacked the ship and killed people, but they can tell the truth, and they are afraid that the surname Yang will be pressured because of this."

Hanako had already gotten up, pulled a sheet and rolled it up on her body, and stood timidly to the side. When the fur dog heard this, he saw her viciously, and scolded, "Get out! Get out! ”

Hanako stumbled and ran out in a panic. The sea dog sat cross-legged on the chair bare-chested, pinched his feet with one hand, rubbed the top of his head with the other, and frowned for a long time before saying, "Are you sure that the people of the sailor recognize us?" ”

Lao Jing nodded and said: "It's not wrong, it's a tight chase, if it weren't for Zheng Erba's small boat and fast slipping, he would have been chased by someone, and the flag wouldn't have been lowered, how could I not see it?" Besides, the people on the smuggler ship also recognized us, and they were left with orphans and widows, and it would be hell if they didn't tell the officers and soldiers."

The sea dog pondered for a while, his eyes gradually became cold, and his eyes flickered: "Now it is definitely not possible to resist the officers and soldiers, and the muddy boy of the snow cat and I are no longer of the same heart."

"If you want to take refuge in the government, if you don't get the position of governor to dominate one side, my people will be eaten by the court sooner or later. Won't it be mermaid meat by then? Damn Zheng Erba".

The muscles on his cheeks twitched, his eyes flashed with two clusters of ghost fire, and he slowly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Old elf, make him for me!" ”

The old elf said in surprise: "Boss, is this appropriate?" ”

The horizontal flesh on the sea dog's cheek trembled and said: "We have been preparing for so long, just to give it to the Western woman surnamed Yang, it cost me thirty little yellow croaker, and the big thing can't be bad in his hands!" ”

The old spirit hesitated for a while when he heard this, and when he saw that the sea dog was staring at him coldly, he finally nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

The old spirit turned around and walked a few steps, and the sea dog suddenly said again: "Slow! ”

The old spirit turned his head, only to see the sea dog roll his eyes for a while, let out a burst of oozing laughter, and then beckoned to him. The old spirit walked over suspiciously, and the sea dog put the big hand that had just finished rubbing his feet to his ear, and said coldly: "Brother, it's better to send someone alive than to give him a head, tie him up with a few bastards who committed the crime, and send him directly to Fuzhou to the surname Yang, and the face will be sold enough, I see if he has any excuse to lower the conditions."

Also, choose a few outstanding women from the women sent by him, and then bring some gold, silver and jewelry, and the officials who can speak in Fuzhou will be delivered. Damn, it's hurting me to break the bill again, who will die if he doesn't die? Whoever stands in the way of my glory and wealth is my enemy! ”。

The old elf arched his hand wordlessly, turned and walked away. A ray of warm sunlight shining through the entrance of the cave shone on his body, but a burst of sadness surged in his heart for no reason, and the chill penetrated the bone marrow.

(To be continued)
