Chapter 39: A New Chapter on Lantau Island
"In any case, I'll handle the matter of Chaoyi."
Li Yan drank a pot of wine empty, and his face was flushed. It suddenly occurred to him in his heart that from Judy to the Ten Lady, it seemed that he had slipped into some abyss and never returned.
When the tenth lady heard this, she was noncommittal: "Whatever you want, by the way, I really want to see the messenger of the Heavenly Mother that you met at sea." ”
"Well, this woman has a strange background, and she doesn't speak well, so don't see it."
"Oh? She talked about me, and she said something about me. ”
"Crazy babble, do you really want to listen?"
"Be sure to listen."
“……”
"He said you, with a vicious heart." Li Yan threw the towel into the basin: "And it's a jealous woman." ”
After hearing this, the tenth lady buried her head in her face and was uncertain, and only snorted for a while.
"For hundreds of years, the waters of the South Seas have been up and down, whether it is the Heavenly Virgin, the Emperor Baosheng, or the Ancient Buddha of the Ice Piercing. The coastal miracles are long gone, this woman's origin is unknown, you have to be careful of her. ”
Li Yan saw it clearly, when she first mentioned Danniang, her face was pleasant and her tone was stable, but there was a cold murderous aura, but when she finished speaking, the cool aura in Mrs. Ten's tone disappeared without a trace.
"Don't worry, I will."
Li Yan nodded, and the tenth lady's face suddenly turned pale, and she coughed up slimy blood with her sleeves covering her chin.
Li Yan hurriedly stood up and poured a pot of hot water and wiped her neckline with a towel.
"Tianbao, I'm ......" The tenth lady laughed miserably: "I'm afraid I'll die an ugly death." ”
Li Yan couldn't help but be silent, his feelings for the tenth lady were very complicated, on the one hand, unlike Judy, Li Yan had no emotional foundation for her, and the tenth lady's attachment to herself was only from Tianbaozai, plus this woman's means were cold, Li Yan was on guard.
But on the other hand, this woman is indeed thinking about herself wholeheartedly, and Li Yan can't help but be moved.
"You, whatever you look like, you look good."
Li Yan paused.
Shi Niang laughed happily, but the fingers of her left hand sank into Li Yan's flesh.
"In the future, if you look for a woman, I can't stop you, at your age, there will be no fewer children in the future, but you must treat Xiu'er well."
"I promise you." Li Yan said.
"That's fine, that's fine."
Perhaps because of her weakness, Li Yan saw a little bit of the fragility of a little daughter from the face of the tenth lady.
"Tianbao, stay with me for the night."
"Okay, okay."
Li Yan was relieved.
……
In the past half a month, the already strange and chaotic situation in Nanyang has become more and more tense like a bursting whirlpool.
On May 4, the 14th year of Jiaqing, in order to cope with the new governor and make a strong military posture, the Guangzhou Navy attacked Lantau Island.
Under the command of Zhuo Huxing, the commander of the Humen Naval Division, Xiangshan, Shunde, Xinhui, Dapeng, Chixi, Qingyuan, Guanghai, Yongjing, Nanao Town, etc., the official and military fleet of nearly 10,000 people took the Red Flag Gang by surprise, and although it did not make any gains, it destroyed many ships of the Red Flag Gang.
In addition, the leader of the Red Flag Gang, Mrs. Ten, was shot in the lower abdomen.
In the early morning of 6 May, the tenth lady's son and lover, the second leader of the Red Flag Gang, Tianbaozai, attacked Liangguang in a frenzy, opened the sluice gate with tricks, avoided a large number of sailors, broke through the tiger gate with a small number of elites, killed Zhuo Huxing, the commander of the navy, and brought back his head to hang on the sentry tower on Lantau Island. The government and the opposition shook.
On May 7, the Mother of Heaven crossed the sea. On the same day, over A-Ma Island (Macau), which was leased by the Portuguese, a woman's face covered the island for 24 hours, accompanied by bursts of sheng springs and colorful glow.
On 8 May, 12 gunboats of the East India Company pressed into the coast of Annam, the St. George cross flag was flying, and a great battle between Annam and Britain was imminent.
On 9 May, General Fu Lin of Guangzhou announced that Lin Yuanfu, the new governor of Liangguang, was seriously ill and had no outsiders in sight. On the same day, the leader of the Red Flag Gang, Mrs. Ten, died of illness, and the news that the leader of the Three Banners Gang was condoling and being seized on the spot by Tianbaozai spread.
In addition to the silence of the Yellow Flag Gang Xu Longsi, the Three Banners formed a temporary alliance, claiming to crusade against Lantau Island, and the day after the word of mouth spread, the second leader of the Blue Flag Gang was assassinated, and the three banners accused each other, and the temporary alliance broke itself.
May 10, the day of the funeral of the tenth lady.
Although she died two days later than the outside world thought, the Tenth Lady did die, she died in Li Yan's arms, and the death was extremely miserable.
The white flags hung on Lantau Island for nine days. When the spirit arose, the Red Flag Gang was full of sorrow, and Chaoyi led all the Gaoli ghosts to kowtow a hundred in front of the tomb of the tenth lady. Li Yan took Xiao Xiu'er, who was crying hoarsely, and stood aside.
Before her death, the Tenth Lady said that if she took out the blood from her corpse's spine and drank it, she could take half of her disgust. Li Yan didn't know it, and buried the coffin of the tenth lady's body in the west of Lantau Mountain, between the mahogany trees.
After being disgusted, the leader of the Five Flags Alliance, the largest pirate force in the South Seas, is also the only woman.
Whether it is the adventure of the young man who got Taiping Wenshu, the current capital protector of Annan, the demon thief Zhang He, or the big boss Cai Lian, who manipulates the thirteen tooth lines in Guangdong behind his back, the silver becomes a mountain, and the rich rival the country, as well as Lin Ajin, Guo Po, these Nanyang heroes, have all been steadily suppressed by the Ten Lady.
But today, the news of the death of the tenth lady spread all over the South Seas.
……
"In addition to this, now it's time to open the sea, and at the end of last month, the cousin brothers shouted that it was time to do the game, and they have been delayed. In the past, this matter was a tide of righteousness, but now. ”
Zhong Cripple, who was in charge of money and food in the hall, told Li Yan about the events of Lantau in the past few months.
Chaoyi shouted outside, stepped in, and Zhong lame immediately shut up.
"Old Zhong, I have something important to tell Brother Tianbao. Or you should avoid it. ”
Zhong lame didn't pay attention to it, but looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan raised his head: "In the past, it was Chaoyi who was in charge, and in the future, I will also take care of him, it just so happens that he is here, and you will show him things in a while." Let's avoid it for a moment. ”
Zhong lame hesitated for a moment, nodded and walked out.
"Brother Tianbao. I don't know if Madame told you before she died, but she left me a letter for me to pass on to you. ”
Chaoyi handed the intact fire paint envelope to Li Yan.
Li Yan took it and threw the letter into the brazier casually. Whew, and the envelope burst into flames.
"Brother Tianbao, you~"
Chaoyi had a look of surprise on his face.
"You also know my relationship with Shi Niang, there are some private love words above, which are useless." Li Yan's face was fiery red: "Brother Chaoyi is older than me, and I have said before, you can just call me Tianbao." ”
Chaoyi's mind was a little messy, and he subconsciously didn't want to show too much emotion: "Then, Tianbao, nothing else, I'll go out first." ”
"Brother Chaoyi,"
Li Yan said while studying the charts: "Shi Niang owed you before, so I told you to live happily in the future." ”
Chaoyi lowered his head and bit his tongue, and it took a long time to grin: "These words are not like Madame's style, but like Tianbao you made up to comfort me." ”
"Like? Haha~"
Li Yan raised his head, and Chaoyi was also smiling. The eyes of the two people touched each other, and the smiles on their faces were hearty.
