The commander of the third division of the navy, Qin, was in charge of commanding the battle at the front, and when the storm came, he was already worried, so he began to order all warships to sail to avoid the wind, and the warships of the Xiao Gang gathered in the middle.

However, before they could get ready, the enemy's artillery fire suddenly attacked, and the soldiers at sea struggled to resist, and the Qin division commander hurriedly asked for support.

As soon as the two naval armies arrived, Division Commander Qin still thought it would be difficult to resist the enemy's offensive. Just as Commander Hua had also arrived, Division Commander Qin asked him for instructions to drive ten warships to the center of the enemy's artillery fire, and then connect the warships on the two wings with iron locks.

Under Commander Hua's consideration, the situation of our army was unfavorable, and there was no way out, so he agreed with Commander Qin's proposal.

Chen Zui had a flash of inspiration and asked if the warships on the sea were connected into a triangle, whether they would be more able to resist the storm and attack the enemy in a favorable way.

Master Qin agreed, so he ordered ten warships to venture forward, while the Xiao Gang's sailors sent ten soldiers to dive underwater and tie one end of the chain to the tail of each of the ten warships. The soldiers on the ship tied the other end to the bow of the ship, and the ships on both wings were all joined together.

In this way, the triangular chain method allowed the ships to stand firmly on the sea, except for the ten warships that were bombarded by the enemy, and the ships behind had begun to counterattack the enemy.

At seven o'clock in the evening, all ten warships in the vanguard were sunk by the enemy, but under the command of Commander Qin, the two sides were deadlocked, and the enemy never took another step forward.

After another three hours of fighting, the torrential rain stopped, the wind gradually weakened, and the enemy saw that he could not win, and he was worried that the extension of the battle line would be launched by the Qin division commander to launch a counterattack, so he had to order the withdrawal of the army.

In this battle, the Qin division commander once again saved Yuchi Bay at the cost of heavy casualties.

After dealing with the post-war matters, Commander Hua returned to the palace to celebrate the achievements of the generals, and officially announced to everyone that Chen Zui had come to inspect on behalf of the commander-in-chief.

Chen Zuizhi saluted everyone and said loudly: "Yuchi Bay has not been breached so far, it is all thanks to your advice and the bloody struggle of the officers and men of the three armies, I am only nominally replacing Commander Li to supervise the army, and in the future, I will still rely on your concerted efforts to drive out the enemy." ”

After drinking it all, Senior Commander Qin raised his glass again, "Gang Leader Chen is too modest, if you hadn't thought of connecting the warships triangle today, I'm afraid that before it gets dark, the ten warships will all be sunk, and our casualties will only be more serious, so I will give you a glass at the end." ”

Elder Qu always has to obey the arrangements and dispatches of Master Qin in the battle situation, even if he is respected, he always feels that he is inferior, and now as soon as the helper comes, he will help them win the battle, and he has a hearty heartiness to raise his eyebrows, and he also raised his glass, "Helper, my subordinates have heard that you have a good way of using soldiers, and when I see you today, it is really admirable, and my subordinates also toast you." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Zui said: "Although it is safe now, it is not a way to continue such a stalemate for a long time, I wonder if everyone here has thought of any plan to annihilate the enemy army?" ”

Everyone lowered their heads, and Commander Hua said: "The enemy army is coming from afar, and it can be attacked and retreated, so our army has always been in a passive defensive situation, and it is really difficult to win if you want to attack."

Chen Zui nodded helplessly.

After the banquet dispersed, the soldiers took Chen Zui to the west room of the commander's mansion, and Commander Hua arranged for him and Leng Chuxian to live in two adjacent rooms.

When Chen was drunk, he saw that the light in Leng Chuxian's room was still on.

The soldier retreated, Chen Zui knocked on the door, and Leng Chuxian really hadn't slept yet.

"Why don't you rest so late?"

"I had a little rest in the afternoon and I wasn't sleepy. I heard that the battle in the afternoon was very hard, didn't it? ”

"Hmm." Chen Zui didn't hide it from her, briefly talked about today's battle situation, and sighed: "If the battle situation continues like this, it will be very unfavorable to us. ”

Leng Chuxian couldn't give him any ideas, seeing that he had drunk a lot of wine tonight, he turned around and poured him a glass of hot water.

The next day, Commander Hua accompanied Chen Zui to inspect Yuchi Bay, and the sea surface was calm, but in order to prevent emergencies, the warships were still lined up in a triangular situation, so that they could fight together at any time.

In the past few days, Chen Zui has been constantly inspecting the front line, and learned about all the battles since the beginning of the war, and then held many meetings with the generals, each time he had to be busy until late at night.

However, no matter how late it was, Leng Chuxian would wait until he came back, and Chen Zui was a little sorry and even happier.

On the tenth day of Chen Zuilai, news came from the front: Heyang Pass was broken, and Song Bai's army was divided into two routes, all the way to attack Zhaoye, and all the way to attack Jiuwei, and the situation was extremely grim.

At this time, although the epidemic in South China has achieved initial results, the military and civilians are in a tense transition period, and it is difficult for morale to recover. Chen Zui knew that Li Chengjing's situation at the moment was as difficult as an iron lock across the river.

Leng Chu envy saw that Chen Zui was worried tonight, and asked, "What happened?" Is the enemy attacking again? ”

Chen Zui told her the news that He Yangguan had been broken, and said: "If you don't repel Andrean, Cheng Jing's situation will become more and more critical." ”

"Looks like you're really worried about Cheng Jing?"

Chen Zui was stunned for a moment, noticed that there was something in her words, held her hands, and said: "I'm worried that Cheng Jing is a friendship and the righteousness of an alliance, don't think about it." ”

Leng Chu sneered: "I saw that you were full of worries and teased you." He added: "You should be worried about Cheng Jing, if you are indifferent when you hear that Cheng Jing is defeated, it is too ruthless, and I am not happy." ”

Chen Zui suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Don't you really know how to eat Cheng Jing's vinegar?" ”

Leng Chuxian wanted to run away in shyness, but was firmly hugged by Chen Zui, glanced at him, and said: "Of course you will, you can worry about Cheng Jing in business, but in private, you just want her to keep it in your heart, don't let me know." ”

Chen Zui kissed her deeply on the forehead, grabbed her hand and put it on his chest, "You are the only one here so far, and my love for Cheng Jing has completely become a thing of the past." ”

Leng Chuxian gently snuggled in his arms, and for a long time, Chen Zui heard her sigh and sobbed softly.

"What's wrong? Not happy? ”

Leng Chuxian shook his head, "I just thought of my father." ”

"Don't be afraid, you will have me ...... in the future"

In the next few days, in addition to a routine meeting, Chen Zui spent the rest of his time with Leng Chuxian, and even went to inspect the various docks of the gang.

When the master of Qutang saw them coming, he was already a little curious, and then looked at their concubines. Chen Zui was very friendly to his subordinates, and he relied even more on several hall masters, and the hall master Qu directly shook out the doubts in his heart.

Chen Zui openly stated their relationship to the Xiao Gang brothers, and everyone was happy for them.

Chen Zui accompanied her to the streets, although there was a war with foreign countries at the moment, Li Chengjing ordered that the serious merchants who could not be embarrassed were always in trade on both sides. The foreigner's shop sold a lot of strange gadgets and all kinds of clothes, and Chen Zui accompanied her to slowly go down one by one.

After two days of shopping in the city, the two went outside the city to see the scenery, the blue sea, the comfortable beach, and the feeling of coming to the coast for a honeymoon.

Chen Zui was gentle and considerate to her, caring and thoughtful, she had seen this tenderness in Li Chengjing, Leng Chuxian finally firmly established that she had completely replaced Li Chengjing's position in Chen Zui's mind.

But after four or five days in a row, Leng Chuxian couldn't help but wonder why Chen Zui was so free to accompany him? She didn't want Chen Zui to delay his business in order to accompany her, and persuaded him to go back to work many times.

Chen Zui said every time that it was no big deal, and he had this measure. Not only is Chen drunk like this, but the whole army seems to be quite relaxed, unlike when he first came, the big and small meetings were held until late at night.

Leng Chuxian didn't know why, but he no longer had any worries.

In the afternoon of this day, they were tired of playing outside the city and came to a tea shop to drink tea and rest.

When they looked up, they saw a temple opposite, "Bodhi Temple." After sitting for a while, they found that the pilgrims came and went in pairs, without exception.

The proprietress came to serve tea and told them that Bodhi Temple is a marriage temple, which is very effective, so it has attracted countless lovers and believers.

Chen Zui didn't sound like anything, but Leng Chuxian was very yearning, so after drinking tea, Chen Zui accompanied her to the temple to ask for a signature.

As soon as you enter the gate, you can see a big banyan tree on the left and right, the banyan tree is full of pairs of red mandarin duck knots, and the tree is surrounded by wooden benches.

Entering the main hall, there is a merit box in the middle, and the opposite side is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. On the left side of the Bodhisattva statue there are two lattice-shaped wooden frames, the first one is tied with a mandarin duck knot, and the second one is a red rope tied to a scroll, which should be a signature.

On the right, there was a master who asked for a sign for the couple, and there was a disciple standing next to him. When the couple in front of them left, the two also came over to ask for a signature.

They walked to the statue of Guanyin according to the instructions of the master, knelt on the futon, each of them held one side of the lot, counted three times silently in their hearts, swayed the sticker three times together, and handed the fallen sticks to the master.

"Seven lines and fourteen signs."

The master handed the signature to the disciple and asked him to go and get it.

After a while, the disciple took the signature back, and the master opened the signature, but it was blank inside.

Leng Chuxian exclaimed: "How can it be a wordless signature, is this a bad omen?" ”

Chen Zui held her hand and said with relief: "Don't be nervous, listen to what the master has to say first." ”

The master also groaned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't worry, girl, let me speak slowly." Marriage in the world is predetermined, and the life of each couple is even more ever-changing, and manpower can be predicted, but it cannot be exhausted after all.

The blank sign shows that the marriage between the two can only be known by God, and the process may be arduous and tortuous, but as long as you uphold firm determination and kindness, you can achieve positive results. ”

Leng Chuxian was relieved, "Thank you, master." ”

The master took out a pair of mandarin duck knots from his arms, "I have a lot of fate with the two, and this pair of mandarin duck knots is given to the two, which can help the two of them go more smoothly." ”

The two thanked them, and before leaving, Leng Chuxian did not forget to add sesame oil money to the merit box.

When they left, the disciple on the side asked, "Master, the meaning of the blank signature is obviously that everything will be empty in the end, and it is an unlucky sign, why are you lying to them?" ”

The master sighed: "These two must have gone through a lot of hardships before they are together, and the appearance of a talented woman is rare in the world, I really can't bear it in my heart, I hope that the pair of mandarin duck knots that have opened the light can eliminate bad luck for them, maybe they can have a good result." ”

In the evening, before the temple closed, the little disciple checked the mandarin duck knot on the tree, and when he left, suddenly a strange wind blew, and one of the mandarin duck knots that had opened the light fell.

The little disciple took it back and told the master.

The master sighed, "It seems that everything is providential, you go and take down the other one." ”
