Chapter 735: Temptation

Panyu.

A carriage slowly stopped at the door of the post house, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Yinbo jumped down, stretched out his hand to support an old woman with gray hair and a dark face, and said, "Mother, be careful, it's hot, right?" Go inside and drink water and rest. The son was really careless, forgetting that his mother was not adapted to the climate here, and let his mother suffer. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The old woman held Yinfan's hand, got out of the car carefully, touched the brocade barrier on the carriage with her rough hand, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the big haode is a brocade, how much food does this have to be exchanged, what a sin, let the old woman sit under me." ”

"Mother, this is nothing, Brother is out, and all the clothes you wear in the future will be made of brocade." A little girl with a slightly dark face jumped out of the car holding a brocade, looked up at Yinbo with her little face up, and said, "Brother, did you say it?" ”

"Yes, yes." Yinbo scratched the little girl's nose, and just wanted to say something, when she looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing at the door, looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh: "Steward Chen, why bother you again, the general called, just send someone to call." ”

Steward Chen walked up and saluted Yinbo's mother and sister first. The two were a little at a loss, so Yinbo had to let them in first, and then invited Steward Chen inside. Steward Chen smiled: "I won't go in, the general has prepared a banquet and is waiting for Mr. to go and talk." However, he also knew that Mr. was filial and would definitely accompany Lingtang to play at this time, so he asked me to wait outside the door. ”

Yin Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Fan Yijie cloth, where can he afford such a heavy etiquette as a general." Please wait. I'll change my clothes and come. ”

"There's no hurry." The smile on Steward Chen's face has always been so gentle. "It's not a big deal for the general, so it's okay to wait a little longer."

Yin Fan confessed and went in to say to his mother and sister. I heard that the South China Sea was too guarded, and the general of Wu came to invite Yinbo to speak, and the mother and daughter were very proud, and they took care of Yinbo not to be too angry, and they must pay attention to etiquette. Yin Fan's ears were calloused when he heard these words, but he still listened respectfully until his mother finished taking care of them. That's when I went out. followed Steward Chen to the Taishou Mansion.

Nanhai Taishou Chen Biao stood under the porch, looking at Yinbo with a smile. Yin Fan stepped forward to salute, Chen Biao led him to the hall, and the guests and hosts sat down. Chen Biao asked a few words that were not salty or light. Suddenly, the conversation changed: "Yinjun." There is one thing. I'd like to check with you, but I don't know if it's possible? ”

Yin Fan was stunned, and raised his head in surprise: "What does the Ming Mansion have to say." It doesn't hurt to be straight to your face. ”

"That's right." Chen Biao rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Yinjun is talented, he is a rare young talent, I think that Nanhai is too small and may not be able to give full play to Yinjun's great talent, so I want to recommend Yinjun to His Royal Highness King Wu." But ......" Chen Biao looked at Yinbo with an embarrassed expression on his face, but his eyes were full of vigilance. "I heard that Yinjun used to be in Chengdu?"

Seeing that Chen Biao's expression was wrong today, Yinbo became vigilant, and when he heard this sentence at this moment, Yinbo put his heart upside down. He nodded calmly and said with a smile: "That's right, I used to be in Chengdu, if it weren't for General Wei's tolerance, I'm afraid I would have sunk into the river now." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Biao asked in surprise, "Can Yinjun explain in detail?" ”

"Haha, I didn't want to say such a shameful thing, but since Mingfu is curious, then I'll say it directly. Before exposing the ugliness to the Ming Mansion, it is better than letting the Ming Mansion feel that I am arrogant. ”

Yinbo briefly said that the room was recognized by Wei Ba and used by Wei Ba, Zuihou shook his head and said: "I used to be a room, and it was a failed room, I was ashamed of myself, and I didn't dare to use it for the Ming government." This is also the reason why although he has been treated favorably by the Ming Mansion, he has not dared to commit to the Ming Mansion. Please also ask the Ming government to forgive me for the crime of concealment. ”

Chen Biao waved his hand and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I didn't blame Yinjun." This is Yinjun's private matter, and there is no reason to tell it. It's rude for me, and I ask for Yinjun Haihan. ”

Yin Fan smiled: "It's all in the past, don't get in the way." ”

Chen Biao nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then what will Yin Jun do next?" ”

Yin Fan pondered for a moment: "After receiving my mother, I want to go back to Yulin." General Wei has the grace of not killing me, and I want to repay him a little favor. He opened a school in Yulin, I may be able to be a gentleman, teach a few naughty children to read, and by the way, I can also get some of Lu Gong's legacy and wash my mind. ”

Chen Biao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Are you talking about the Huaiyi Hall built by General Zhennan for Lu Gongji?" ”

Yin Fan laughed: "It seems that the general is still very clear about Yu Lin's affairs. ”

Chen Biaodaxiao: "With a tiger like General Zhennan on his side, I have to be cautious." ”

"Well, I think General Zhennan is also so jealous of the Ming Mansion, otherwise he would not restrain his subordinates and not allow him to enter the South China Sea without permission."

Chen Biao couldn't help but laugh out loud. He originally came to attack Cangwu with Zhou Yi and Zhou Yin, but Lu Xun was defeated in Linhe, and they lost the opportunity to attack. Later, after the Han and Wu negotiations, he stayed in the South China Sea and was ordered to guard Wu's base in Jiaozhou. It is naturally not an easy task to be a neighbor with someone like Wei Ba, and what he said to Yinbo is not entirely false. And being able to get Wei Ba's attention is, of course, a good recognition.

Yin Fan waited calmly, Chen Biao didn't want to ask anything more, the two talked about some knowledge and the way of governing the country, and they talked happily. However, Yin Bo was very self-conscious, and when he mentioned the military, he immediately deduced that he did not understand the military, neither asking about the deployment of the Wu army in the South China Sea, nor about the military operations of Wei Ba. Chen Biao tried it a few times, but had to give up.

After Yinbo said goodbye, Zhou Yi walked out from behind the screen and sat on the seat where Yinbo had just been. Chen Biao said: "How? ”

"The big fake is like the truth, the big truth is like the false, between the eagerness, who can tell the difference?" Zhou Yi said lightly: "However, listening to him just now, this person is a bit really talented." If Wei Ba can really use him, it may not be a good thing for us? ”

"You want to kill him?" Chen Biao picked up the cup on the case, took a shallow sip of wine, and glanced at Zhou Yi from the rim of the glass.

Zhou Yi looked at Chen Biao for a moment and smiled helplessly. Today, Chen Biao's temptation of Yinbo was his idea. As a person who is proficient in the use of rooms, he is very concerned about the identity of Yinbo, so he asked Chen Biao to cooperate. Of course, he also knew that although Chen Biao led the troops to fight and used the room, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't look down on people like him who attached great importance to the use of space. And Yinbo's frankness also made his previous speculation seem a little groundless, suspicious, and a little more ugly, it is to push himself to others and live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, and said unhurriedly: "General, you must know about Wei Ba's establishment of a shipyard in Hepu, right?" ”

Chen Biao nodded disapprerovingly. As he said to Yinbo just now, he was very concerned about Wei Ba and did not dare to be careless. Wei Ba had already known about the establishment of shipyards in Hepu and Jiaoluan. However, Wei Ba wanted to build a merchant ship, not a warship, and he knew this better. Of course, if you can build merchant ships, you can build warships at any time, and Wei Ba's construction of a shipyard is a big move, and it is natural for him to pay attention to it. It's just that he doesn't need Zhou Yi to remind him at all.

Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, and followed slowly: "Does the general know how much wind and waves the ship he built can withstand?" ”

Chen Biao was stunned for a moment, then sat down steadily, and his brows were twisted. "Wei Ba is building a ship that can withstand strong winds and waves?"

Zhou Yi nodded, and finally smiled. "Wei Ba is proficient in the art of machinery, which is well known to the world, and the general must be no stranger to it. The warship transformed by Wei Ba can block arrows and stones, which I know from all over Wu, and the general naturally knows it. However, I am afraid that few people know that the ship that Wei Ba is building now can withstand greater wind and waves. To be honest, I've only heard a little bit of wind and don't know exactly how far he's got. However, I believe that although the Han and Wu alliances are good now and the world is divided, there will be no two days in the sky, and there will be a war in the end. My Great Wu is known as a sailor, and in order to catch up with and surpass Shu Han on the warship, the king spent a lot of effort. If Wei Ba quietly built a more advanced warship in Jiaozhou, and we didn't know anything, we would inevitably encounter the dilemma of Sima Yi in Wancheng at that time. General, do you think that's the truth? ”

Beads of sweat appeared on Chen Biao's forehead, and he looked at Zhou Yi directly, and a wave of shame surged in his heart. Compared with Zhou Yi, his vision is indeed not long-term enough, and he does not see the potential crisis. If Wei Bazhi built a warship that could resist wind and waves, and when Wu and Han went to war, these new warships would definitely bring an unexpected and major blow to Wu, and his negligence would be an unforgivable mistake.

"Thank you Zhou Jun for reminding me." Chen Biao was dripping with cold sweat and bowed down.

"They are all loyal to the country, so why say thank you. The general is cautious, even if I don't warn, the general will think of it sooner or later. Zhou Yi picked up the cup for a long time, took a sip of wine, and frowned slightly: "This Yin Fan is cautious, and the general should be careful." Judging from what he just said, although he is cautious about military affairs, he is very concerned about the people's livelihood and customs in the South China Sea. Of course, it can't be wrong to say that he traveled to broaden his knowledge, but if he is a couple, I am afraid it may not necessarily slander him. With him as a scholar without an official position, where did he get so much money? Is Wei Ba really generous to this point? ”

"Whoa." Chen Biao said, "I'll keep an eye on him." ”

……

Yinfan left the Taishou Mansion, got into the carriage, and held the carriage with a calm face. The carriage drove through the streets and headed for the inn. When he passed a junction, he raised his hand, straightened the crown belt, and then lowered it again, and passed without squinting.

On the side of the road, Peng Heng and Chen Ming glanced at each other, turned around, and walked quietly to another road
