Chapter 51: A Moonlit Night
On the dark sea, a fishing boat quietly sailed north, and today finally had a good weather, the strong wind and waves of the previous day made the whole boat suffer. After the failure of the ambush in Boxing, Qingzhou, Ning and my party hurriedly embarked on the journey back to the north.
The forces of the eight families on the right side of the mountain in Shandong were completely damaged after this big gamble, and I was shocked and angry after Ning Wan, and soon after getting on the boat, I launched a high fever, and three fingers were cut off by Cao Wuxian, and the wound also began to suppurate. Nagu and the others were helpless for a while.
Fortunately, Huo Wu brought some medicinal materials with him, and he also knew the medical theory, and after some treatment, he finally saved Ning Wan's life. But my wounds were stained with seawater, but they were always in severe pain, and I was tormented all day and night.
It was the same tonight, the fishing boat was not big, and even a boatload of people could not sleep peacefully after my painful moans. Huo Wu helped me to bandage the wound again, and poured him some spirits, trying to help him relieve the pain, but the effect was nothing.
Huo Wu walked out of the narrow cabin, gently kicked Nagu who was resting at the hatch with his foot, and whispered, "Then give him some of your things!" Absolute pain relief! β
Nagu suddenly fell asleep when he heard this, and subconsciously hugged the wooden box on his chest, and hurriedly shook his head.
Huo Wu couldn't help but sneer, "Don't protect your thing like a baby, don't forget, when you get to the gate, if you don't have me, you don't want to get another penny!" β
Nagu's eyes suddenly showed a hint of fear, and he hesitated for a moment before slowly standing up and walking into the cabin.
There was a fishy smell in the cabin. It was hot and humid, and I lay down on a pile of dried seaweed, and the moaning in my mouth never stopped.
Nagu stepped closer. Carefully took out the small wooden box that exuded his body temperature in his arms, opened it slowly, picked it up a little with his fingers, hesitated again and again, and sent it to Ning Wan's mouth, and suddenly a faint fragrance wafted out, and Nagu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. Put that Fushou paste into Ning Wan's half-open mouth.
Ning Wan, whose consciousness was not very clear, was like an extremely thirsty person who suddenly found a water source, and greedily swallowed this bit of Fushou ointment. I can't help but smack my mouth. In less than a cup of tea, a relaxed and happy look gradually appeared on his face, and the moaning gradually stopped. Nagu had a pained expression on his face, and hurriedly stuffed the small wooden box into his arms again. Only then did he return to the hatch and sit down next to Huo Wu.
Huo Wu let out a sigh of relief, he could finally sleep peacefully tonight.

Zhu Yihai didn't expect that his trip to Dengzhou would have such a fruitful harvest. As a vassal king of a place, he was confined in a fiefdom, and the lofty ideals of the throne and government were completely lost from then on, only the pursuit of a luxurious life was the royal road, and the original in Dengzhou was just to use the local heroes to occupy a lot of land, but now there is a drought year after year, the military families have fled, and the people have scattered and rebelled. The field is worth a few bucks. Following Liu Zeqing's back, he used the four guards of Dengzhou as a springboard to mix in some maritime trade. Liu Zeqing made a fortune, but he, Zhu Yihai, could only drink soup behind him.
I thought that there was a Zhu Ping'an, and even Dengzhou's financial road was cut off, so I put down the vassal king's shelf and came to Dengzhou for a while Zhu Ping'an, hoping that he could raise his noble hand. Leave yourself some money, but I didn't expect it. Zhu Ping'an threw a small mountain of gold into his arms. At that moment, Zhu Yihai was so excited that he really wanted to hug Zhu Ping'an and kiss the two of them.
Four shops at a price lower than the market price of 30%, two special warehouses, and Zhu Ping'an's plan to open the first branch in Yanzhou, after that, the merchants in Yanzhou Mansion can exchange with Dengzhou Mansion, that is to say, Yanzhou merchants can rely on the deposit of Yanzhou silver, directly to Dengzhou Mansion for trading, and do not have to send a huge amount of silver to the trade area, think about it, how convenient it is, I'm afraid the entire Yanzhou business community is going crazy about this. Zhu Ping'an has already agreed, and the semicolon of Yanzhou Qianzhuang will leave Zhu Yihai with a two-percent share.
These good news made Zhu Yihai not sleep well since he arrived in Dengzhou, and he would wake up from his dream in the middle of the night every day.
In return for the favor, Zhu Yihai canceled all the congratulatory gifts that had been prepared, and ordered his confidants to bring a heavy gift from the palace as a gift to congratulate Zhu Ping'an on his new marriage. On the wedding day, he couldn't stay in Dengzhou, and heard that Lu Zhenfei, Zhou Kui, Zhu Chunchen, Huang Gongfu, Chen Zizhuang and others were going to rush to Dengzhou to celebrate.
Therefore, when the congratulatory gift was delivered to Zhu Ping'an's house, Zhu Yihai specially set up a table of banquets in the restaurant and feasted Zhu Ping'an alone, mainly to thank Zhu Ping'an.
There is no one else at the wine table, Zhu Yihai speaks a lot more casually, the age difference between the two is not much, Zhu Yihai is not a nerd who doesn't listen to things outside the window, talking about the past and the present, and the guests and hosts can be regarded as having a good time.
It's just that when the banquet was about to end, Zhu Yihai couldn't help but say something. "Brother Xian, the foolish brother won't say anything, everything is in the word, your favor and foolish brother are all recorded here!"
Zhu Yihai was a little drunk, his tongue was also a lot bigger, and he patted his chest, "Brother Rong will repay him in the future!" β
Zhu Ping'an smiled and toasted him with another glass of wine, Zhu Yihai drank it all, and then said: "It's not enough, there is a little foolish brother who doesn't vomit and is unhappy." Since you arrived in Dengzhou, there is naturally nothing wrong with rectifying military affairs, but there is still one person in Shandong today, and you have to guard against it? β
"What did the prince say?" Zhu Ping'an pretended to be confused.
"Who else could there be, isn't it Liu Zeqing, the chief military officer of Shandong?" Zhu Yihai put the wine glass on the table, "This person is so brave and ruthless, he runs faster than anyone else when he goes into battle, but he is extremely narrow-minded." You and I know the mutiny of the four guards this time, if he didn't instigate it behind his back, who else could there be? β
"This person is a complete martial artist, with no faith at all, and he is rampant and domineering in Shandong, even the foolish brother sometimes has to endure a little!"
Zhu Ping'an Yan suddenly flashed a trace of coldness. Now Yang Sichang supervises Huguang. There were mutual victories and defeats with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, and the battle reports were transmitted to Dengzhou in a row. Among them, there is some news about Liu Zeqing, Liu Zeqing and Zuo Liangyu are both generals raised by Yang Sichang. However, as the situation in the Ming Dynasty became more and more chaotic, the center gradually lost its ability to control the local military attachΓ©s.
Let's just say that in the battle of Baokang not long ago, the encirclement carefully designed by Yang Sichang and Xiong Wencan was opened in Liu Zeqing's body. Supporting the army and fearing the enemy, the battle situation was fleeting, and was finally bitten back by Zhang Xianzhong and others. But Yang Sichang couldn't make up his mind to punish Liu Zeqing, once Liu Zeqing was impeached. is tantamount to slapping himself in the mouth, and Shoufu Zhou Yanru may make a big fuss about it. Yang Sichang had no choice but to punish him slightly. But it is a pity that more than 1,000 soldiers of the Ming Army died because of this.
One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and since Shandong has my Zhu Ping'an, there is no place for Liu Zeqing to stand. Without Zhu Yihai's reminder in time, Zhu Ping'an would not let a shameless and treacherous villain like Liu Zeqing stay in Shandong any longer.
β¦β¦
to the end. Zhu Yihai was drunk, Zhu Ping'an ordered someone to send him back to his residence, and tomorrow Zhu Yihai will return to Yanzhou.
Walking into the backyard of the Dusi Yamen, it is Zhu Ping'an's resting place, which is a small and elegant courtyard. The secret whistles were densely packed all around, all arranged by Shen Ke. As soon as he walked to the door of the study, Zhu Ping'an felt that his mouth was unbearably thirsty, so he ordered. "Blonde, let the kitchen make a bowl of decanting soup and send it over!"
Unexpectedly, no one answered behind him, Zhu Ping'an was stunned, and when he turned around, Wang Jinfa and his personal guards were gone. Unconsciously startled, his hand couldn't help but hold down the saber on his waist.
At this time. The door of the study creaked open, and a delicate figure wearing a pale green armor appeared in front of Zhu Ping'an, followed by a familiar smell mixed with sour and spicy smells pouring into his nose.
"Yuling!" Zhu Ping'an suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Mu Yuling smiled, and covered Sakura's lips with her jade hand, "Don't scream, Wang Jinfa and them, they must have received a letter from the house early in the morning, and they knew that I was coming, so they didn't dare to enter this courtyard one by one!" β
Zhu Ping'an laughed softly, these guys still have some eyesight.
"The decanting soup has just been prepared, just waiting for you to return home?" Mu Yuling said with a smile.
Zhu Ping'an took a deep breath and strode to the door, but he couldn't help but hold Mu Yuling in his arms, Mu Yuling was caught off guard, and was held in his arms by a pair of big hands, and a familiar man's breath rushed into his nose, and he was a little confused for a while, and tried his best to break free, but he was hugged tightly by Zhu Ping'an and couldn't move.
The two hugged each other tightly like this, and neither of them spoke for a while.
"Okay, the soup is about to be cold, besides, I'll be your person next month, so why rush it?" Mu Yuling's face flushed, and he said in a slurred voice.
Zhu Ping'an smiled, and suddenly had an idea, "Do you remember that in the Tang Palace, when there was delicious food, where did we and Wuxian hide to enjoy it?" β
Mu Yuling raised his head, looked at the sky, and laughed, Zhu Ping'an was a little stupid for a while.
The two of them looked at the top of their heads at the same time, held out a finger upward, and laughed at the same time.
In less than a moment, the two of them brought a ladder and laughed and climbed onto the roof, and tonight the sky was clear, and a bright moon with a little stars shone down, casting a hazy veil over the earth. The sea breeze is blowing, and it is cool and pleasant.
Zhu Ping'an gulped a bowl of decanting soup cleanly, and Mu Yuling took out his handkerchief and lovingly wiped the sweat drops on Zhu Ping'an's head.
Zhu Ping'an casually threw the bowl aside, took Mu Yuling into his arms again, and the two leaned on the roof and silently looked at the stars and the bright moon overhead.
Mu Yuling took out a crystal clear green jade plaque from his neck and handed it to Zhu Ping'an, "I'll give it back to you first!" β
Zhu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, "This is a relic of Yao Shaoqin and Yao Gong's bus to my mother, which explains that I want to hand it over to my future wife, I gave it to you as early as when Nanyang was separated, and you give it back to me now, don't you want to regret the marriage!" β
Mu Yuling slapped him in disgust, and solemnly put the jade card in his hand. "If it is my aunt's relic, you will give it to me when the candle is burning in the cave room, and when the time comes, you will worship your ancestors, and you will enter my name into the family tree." In this way, I think, it is more appropriate! β
Zhu Ping'an nodded, rubbing the jade plate that still retains Mu Yuling's body temperature, the crystal jade card is brilliant, and under the illumination of the moonlight, it shows the word "Shen" with a dragon flying and phoenix dancing. (To be continued) R655
