Chapter 502: Bandits block the road
Miss Wang not only hid Xia Zisu, but also designed countless scripts, and when she was preparing to search the embroidery building, how should she answer correctly, so that she could outwit her grandfather and reprimand Qin Cha. But the question is, no matter whether they are caught quickly or ridden, who will die and search her embroidery building? Yan Hong couldn't have imagined that Xia Zisu would dare to touch Wang Fu's granddaughter's embroidery building, the so-called dark under the lamp, so all the searches were useless. When he heard that a small boat was leaving the port, he concluded that Xia Zisu had left by boat, so he hurried to Hangzhou.
Hearing the little maid say that Qin Cha had left, Miss Wang smiled as if she had won a big battle: "Aunt Xia, my niece has a little plan, and let Aunt Yan take the middle plan." Hmph, with such a beautiful lady as my aunt, why do you still want to take a concubine? If the people's hearts are really insufficient, aunt, you will stay here and ignore him. I heard that there are tens of thousands of Japanese robbers in Hangzhou, and he deserves to be hit head-on and cut off his head with a knife! ”
Xia Zisu had fled overnight, distraught, and didn't know if she had taken the right step or the wrong one. Listening to Miss Wang talk about the Japanese Kou again, I remembered that the Daming Sailor I saw here was so pustuated, what if it was not appropriate to recruit An, and the Hangzhou Navy was also incompetent, what should Yan Hong do when the time comes?
A terrible situation instantly came to her mind: a group of would-be robbers went on a rampage, killing people and setting fires, just in time to bump into Yan Hong. Yan Hong's subordinates ran out of ammunition and fled in embarrassment, and Yan Hong himself was also mixed with his head and scurrying. A widow rushed over, jumped more than a moment, waved the sword in his hand, and Yan Hong's head fell to the ground.
Thinking of this shot, Xia Zisu let out a fierce "ah", which startled Miss Wang. She was still boasting. Boasting about his resourcefulness, I don't want this aunt to be surprised. Looking at this aunt with strong martial arts, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" But you're not feeling well? ”
Xia Zisu only felt that her heart was beating wildly, her chest was churning, and she wanted to vomit, and only after a while did she say, "It's okay." Miss Wang, thank you for being contained last night. I have come to repay the court. Take care, I'm leaving. "At this time, the search has been completed, and it is the time when the garrison of the Governor's Palace is the most lax, and she wants to get out with her art industry. It's not that hard. Before leaving, Xia Zisu said again: "I won't say goodbye this time." I also asked Miss Wang to stand for me in front of the old man. Accuse a lot. ”
After Xia Zisu left the governor's palace, he wanted to go to Hangzhou. Even if you don't see this enemy, you only protect him secretly. lest he give his life. She was planning by herself, when she suddenly felt a burst of blood churning, and she hurriedly held on to the wall beside her, retching for a while. In the past few days, she has committed this symptom several times, but she thought that the original illness had not been cured, and she did not dare to give birth to Zhang, and she kept it from Yan Hong. Now she is bent on rushing to Zhejiang to help in the war, and if she makes a mistake at this time, she will miss a big thing.
Therefore, after relieving for a while, waiting for her qi and blood to calm down, she walked out of the alley, walked not far, only saw a medical clinic on the side of the road, and thought of going to Lang Zhong to open a prescription, always rushing to Zhejiang, to adjust her body.
Besides, Yan Hong led his subordinates to take the sealed boat and the Galen ship, and went out of the Pearl River estuary again, and went east and north along the coast. The ship passed the coast of Fujian and was about to enter the Zhejiang Sea, when Deng Zilong came in and said: "Master Qincha, there are dozens of warships blocking the way ahead, and Xu is a bold Japanese robber." Please allow the subordinate to open fire and wipe them out! ”
Yan Hong was thinking about recruiting An Wang Zhi in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't be reckless." I'll go and see, if it's really a Japanese attack, it's not too late to fight. ”
So Deng Zilong accompanied Yan Hong to the watchtower of the Galen ship, and saw that Deng Zilong had ordered his officers and soldiers to prepare for battle, and all the cannon armor was removed. Ye Zhengfei was pointing fingers, and a few Buddha Yi commanded the correction of the muzzle. The sealing boat that followed behind had also driven up, forming a corner trend. However, in the northwest direction, there were about seventy or eighty large and small ships, with wild goose wings lined up and sails raised, which was very majestic. Yan Hong frowned, and said in his heart, since the old ship owner Wang Zhi has already gone to Hangzhou, why are there Japanese ships blocking the way here? But looking at this formation, if you want to surround your own ships, then it will not work without fighting. Seeing that although there are many ships on the other side, none of them can catch up with their two giant ships, and if they really fight, they don't know if they can break through.
He was hesitating, but he saw another group of ships in the east, about thirty of them, sailing forward, and inserting their ends between their own Galen ships and the fleet of ships coming from the north. Following a small boat in the fleet, he turned the rudder and sped towards the Galen ship. After a while, the boat arrived at the side of the boat, but the first person was Zhang Wu, shouting: "Master Qincha, the fleet in front is the old owner's righteous son Mao Haifeng's department, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to Qincha, so my eldest brother Xu Hai specially led the brothers from the headquarters to escort him!" Please stay here for the time being, and my eldest brother will come to see you later! ”
Yan Hong said: "It's not an enemy, Deng Shibo, Brother Ye, don't fire first." Deng Zilong thought, although Xu Hai was recruited, he was only afraid that his heart would not change, how could he be trusted? Then he said: "Master Qincha, the Japanese boat in front of you has bad intentions, so it is better to take advantage of Xu Hai's escort and leave this place urgently." ”
Yan Hong thought to himself, Mao Haifeng is here, there must be a change in Hangzhou. Since Xu Hai came to escort him, it is always good to stay and listen to his ideas for the time being. immediately smiled and said: "Deng Shibo, with you and your brothers here, I am not afraid." Just stay here and see what happens. Deng Zilong was unwilling. However, Qin Cha has something to say, and he should obey his fate. But he was always afraid of deception, so he ordered his subordinates to be brave and secretly prepare for sailing and firing cannons. said hello to Wang Ting again, and asked the Jinyi guards to prepare their bird guns, just in case.
At the moment, in the team of Zhang Wu, Yan Hongling ordered the Galen ship and the sealed boat to anchor and wait for the changes. The two boats in front also stopped and sampaned each other. Not long after, a large ship in Xu Hai's fleet sailed and approached about half an arrow from the Galen ship. The sampan was lowered and several people were brought over. Galen lowered the rope ladder on the ship and picked them up. The first one was Xu Hai, followed by Wang Cuiqiao and others.
Yan Hong was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Deng Zilong to stop the big ship for a while, called a banquet in the cabin, invited Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao to sit on the top, sat down on himself, and Yun Chuqi and Ye Zhengfei played sideways to accompany him. How dare Xu Hai hold up in front of Qin Cha, he didn't even dare to shout, but Yan Hong said: "You are my sister-in-law, close the hatch door and only talk about relatives, regardless of officials, if you talk about the younger brother more, you will turn your face." Xu Hai had to sit down, grateful in his heart.
After drinking a cup of two, Yan Hong said: "Sister-in-law, why did this Mao Haifeng lead a large group of warships to block Ben Qin's way?" Could it be that something happened to Wang Zhi in Hangzhou? ”
Xu Haidao: "Brother, you are young and have very good knowledge. Sure enough, something happened to the old shipowner in Hangzhou. He explained to Yan Hong. It turned out that Hu Zongxian sent the commander Xia Zheng as a liaison and hostage, and went to Cen Gang in exchange for Wang Zhi to come ashore to discuss the surrender of Zhao'an. The private businessmen of the two oceans are all looking forward to it. However, there are also some ill-intentioned people who fan the yin wind on the side and light ghost fires. At the time of this hesitation, someone suddenly came with news that Wang Zhi had been arrested by Wang Bengu, the governor of Zhejiang. And two days later, news came that Wang Zhi had been beheaded!
Wang Zhiyi's son Wang Wei (i.e. Mao Haifeng) heard about this and cried bitterly and fainted several times. After being rescued, he passed down the order of Wufeng, ordering all pirates on the sea to gather in Cen Port in Zhoushan, preparing to wash the coastal counties and cities of Daming with blood, and was bound to avenge his father-in-law with the blood of 100,000 people.
He made another bloody investment and invited the powerful clan of the Matsuura Party of the Wa Kingdom and the lord of Osumi Island to send troops. It is said that this time, thousands of people are ready to be dispatched just by Shinwa. You must know that in the past, there were hundreds of true widows in the past, and they stirred up the turmoil in the southeast, and now they really want to dispatch thousands of true widows, which is unprecedented.
Seeing that the war clouds were thick, new news came, saying that Wang Zhi had only been taken and had not been killed. At this moment, Wang Yi was a little hesitant. Is the stepfather alive or dead? Wang Zhi's group of veterans who were inclined to recruit An also dissuaded Mao Haifeng one after another, if your father-in-law is not dead, if you attack like this, doesn't that mean directly sending Wang Zhi's life away?
Mao Haifeng was originally a righteous son, and in terms of action, there are indeed a lot of inconveniences, if he doesn't save people, he will inevitably be talked about by his subordinates about watching his godfather die, so that he can take over. If you go to save it now, if this news is true, it will inevitably be discussed, this is to kill people with a knife for the sake of your own position.
Therefore, Mao Haifeng didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and even Xia Zheng, the envoy of the imperial court, didn't dare to kill. He also wanted to order the troops not to rush in, but to assemble in Cen Gang first, and listen to the news. It's just that his prestige is no different from that of his stepfather? These pirates are different from the bandits, the sea is vast, boundless, and the captains of each ship are like the kings of a small country, and their natural discipline is weaker than that of the bandits and ringing horses on land. Wang Wei doesn't have the prestige of his godfather, so it's easy to get these people together, but if you don't let them move, it will be difficult. Therefore, these people clamored every day, only saying that they would send troops to attack, and some people had already begun to disobey Wang Xuan's command and move freely.
Besides, even if Wang Zhi was really just taken and not killed, after all, the court has turned its face, and Wang Zhi's head may move at any time. The court used tricks to deceive the old shipowner, could it be that we still have to stand still, waiting for them to kill step by step?
In fact, this thing is normal, if Wang Juan's prestige is not lost to Wang Zhi, and everyone is willing to obey orders, scaring Wang Zhi to death, he will not dare to let this godson take charge of the overall situation after he leaves.
Wang Wei can only desperately restrain his subordinates not to move, not to attack casually, and for Chen Dong, Ye Ma, Osumi Island Shingoro and other departments, there is a lack of sufficient restraint. He was bent on figuring out, whether Wang Zhi was dead or not? If he hadn't died, how could he have found a way to save his father-in-law?
happened to hear that Yan Hong's ship, which was inspecting the military affairs in the southeast, was heading north, and Wang Wei was moved. When Xu Hai was taken, it was this Yan Hong who rode alone to make trouble in Shaoxing Mansion, Jiangnan and Li Wenzao's eighty-year-old mother was upset with a baby, and suffered a loss, and Xu Hai was successfully saved. If you can take Yan Hong today and take him as a hostage in exchange for your father-in-law Wang Zhi, it will be reliable. If Wang Zhi is really killed, then Yan Hong will be dismantled into eight pieces and sacrificed to his father-in-law for the dead, and the weight of this funeral is much thicker than that of Xia Zheng, a mere commander. Therefore, he led the elite men of his headquarters to intercept Yan Hong here. (To be continued......)
