Yu Ren suddenly stood up from his chair. He felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly told the informer, "Be careful that the enemy is fake, and don't let them enter the harbor first." If they want to break in, they will shoot me. ”

The pawn gave the order and immediately went to give the order. At this time, Xiao Qi also came over, and he also heard that there were three warships flying the Li family flag in the port.

"Could it be the eldest lady's ship?" Xiao Qidao.

Yu Ren shook his head. "It's unlikely. How could you eldest lady send three boats back for no reason! If you want to come back, it should be a brigade! If I want to help you, these three warships are probably a drop in the bucket! ”

"But what if it's really our own ship?" Xiao Qi said uneasily.

"I'll go right over. Whether it's true or not, I'll send someone to find out. In these extraordinary times, we have to be extra careful! Otherwise, if they were pretended to be officers and soldiers, then you and I would have no place to die. Yu Ren said.

Xiao Qi didn't speak.

The two hurried to the port. Sure enough, I saw three big boats parked in the distance ahead, probably because of the threat of artillery from the soldiers guarding the island, these three boats did not enter again. But there was a young man standing on the deck of a large ship and cursing angrily at the soldiers on the fort.

"You bunch of unsightly things. Lao Tzu was personally sent by the great master to take over you. How dare you not let me go to the island? Okay, you wait, wait until I get on the island, you have a good look. ”

Yu Ren didn't know this person, so he asked Xiao Qi. "Does Uncle Seven know this person?"

"It seems to be a little familiar. I haven't been to Hirado for four or five years, and I really don't know them as juniors. ”

Yu Ren heard him say that he was sent by Hirado Li Dan, but he didn't dare to be careless. Previously, he had a misunderstanding with Li Dan because of Xue Zongtao's death, and he didn't want to make this misunderstanding deeper and deeper, so he said to Xiao Qi: "Seventh uncle, then please take the trouble for you to board the ship to find out the truth in person!" ”

Xiao Qi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly boarded a small boat to board the big ship, and soon shouted to Yu Ren, saying that they were really sent by Li Dan, and brought news from the eldest lady and asked him not to open fire.

When Yu Ren heard that there was still news of Li Ying, he hurriedly asked people to raise the muzzle of the cannon and let three boats enter the port.

As soon as the three big ships docked in the harbor, the young man who was standing on the deck and scolding walked down first. Xiao Qi followed.

"This is Jiang Xuanzhao. He is also the nephew of the general manager of Jiang University. This time, I was indeed entrusted by the lord and the eldest lady to preside over the affairs of the island. Xiao Qidao.

Yu Ren secretly wondered why Li Ying would suddenly send such a person to take over Chen Qian Island. He knew that this Jiang Da Guan was also Jiang Fuxiang. At this time, Yu Ren already knew that it was this person who framed himself in front of Li Dan many times, which made Li Dan's misunderstanding of himself deeper and deeper. How could Li Ying send such a person by coincidence.

In the midst of confusion, two more people walked down from the big boat. One is Qu Jing and the other is Liu Qiang. It's just that at this time, both of them have lost their former demeanor. Qu Jing was obviously surprised when he saw Yu Ren, but he immediately returned to normal, as if he didn't know Yu Ren at all, which made Yu Ren very puzzled.

Liu Qiang was different, as soon as he saw Yu Ren, his originally drooping head immediately stood up again, and he caught up in three steps and two steps, "Yu ......"

As soon as Liu Qiang said a word, he was kicked heavily by Qu Jing in the back, and he finally cooperated with Qu Jing for many years. After taking this kick, Liu Qiang also immediately came to his senses, "Fish, we finally don't have to eat tonight" After speaking, he put down Yu Ren's hand and said to Xiao Qi on the side, "Uncle Seven, is there anything delicious on the island?" ”

Xiao Qi didn't seem to notice the abnormality of the two, and still said with a smile, "You know how to eat." Unbeknownst to them, we are facing a major crisis.

The imperial court has sent 5,000 elite soldiers to Ningbo Mansion to prepare to exterminate us. The day before yesterday, Prime Minister Yu sent people to burn the warships of the officers and soldiers, but he has not returned. I don't know what the situation is.

How are you guys? Can you kill all the Westerners and avenge our blood revenge back then? ”

Qu Jing and Liu Qiangdao heard that Xiao Qidao had broken Yu Ren's identity, and they couldn't help but look at Jiang Xuanzhao on the side nervously. But Jiang Xuanzhao didn't react, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

"How's the eldest lady?" Xiao Qi saw that Qu Jing and Liu Qiang were looking at Jiang Xuanzhao, but they didn't speak, so he asked again.

"This matter is a long story, let's talk about it in the first house!" Jiang Xuanzhao, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Yes, yes, come into the house and say, come into the house and say. Look at me, I just can't hold my breath. When people are old, they just can't do it. Xiao Qi was polite while leading everyone into the house.

Qu Jing knew that Yu Ren was also very concerned about Li Ying's news, so he didn't sell it, so he told Yu Ren about their experience in detail.

It turned out that a month ago, Li Ying suddenly received a letter from his father Li Dan. In addition to talking about some family routines, the key point in the letter was to let her return to Pinghu immediately, and Li Ying didn't think much about it at first. Seeing that although the imperial court had increased its troops in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, they were only assigned to various guard posts, and there was no movement for so long, Li Ying thought that they might not have come for her. Naturally, there was no such nervousness.

So, Li Ying agreed, and when she took care of the affairs at hand, she would go back with them. However, during the small talk, when Li Ying asked what had happened to Hirado recently, the person who sent the letter was silent. aroused Li Ying's suspicions.

That night, Li Ying sent Ying'er to get drunk with one of her father's messenger's attendants, and then finally got the words out.

Only then did Li Ying know that Yu Ren had been to Hirado, and was inadvertently involved in the death of her brother-in-law Xue Zongtao. Li Ying decided that this matter must not be done by Yu Ren. But she also knows his father's temper very well. Once he has decided on something, it is difficult to be convinced.

Ying'er also set out that Li Dan asked her to go back this time, but she actually intended to choose a home for her as soon as possible. It seems that Li Dan has a candidate for the match.

When Li Ying learned of this, she was even more anxious. She wanted to discuss with Yu Ren, but Yu Ren was not around. In the end, Li Ying decided not to go back yet. Because she judged that once she left, it would be difficult for her to be free again. That's all. The most important thing is that he has painstakingly managed caravan warships for many years, so that one day he can go south to Luzon and avenge his mother. However, if I go to Hirado this time, I am afraid that I will never have such a chance again.

Therefore, Li Ying finally decided that except for a very small fleet to defend the island, all the other ships followed her to the south to Luzon, vowing to avenge the revenge of Luzon that year.

Later, regardless of victory or defeat, she went north to find Yu Ren and drifted with him for the rest of her life.

Li Ying is a decisive person who does what she says. That night, she summoned all the leaders on Daqu Island, leaving only Xiao Qi to guard the island, and asked him to move his family to Chen Qianshan, just in case the government encircled and suppressed them. Then, Li Ying took all the belongings she had run in the past five or six years and went south to Luzon.

"At first, shortly after our fleet sailed past Jonlong Island, we encountered five Western merchant ships. The eldest lady was overjoyed when she saw the hunt, and immediately ordered us to surround and annihilate. But the Westerners' ships were too solid, and they were bigger than ours, and the guns were also at stake. At that time, the wind and waves at sea were not small, and our ships could hardly be lined up.

As a result, we have more than two hundred gunboats, though. But in the end, they were able to escape from the two ironclads.

After this battle, the eldest lady ordered us to rush to Luzon as soon as possible to prevent the Westerners from escaping. ”

Our fleet arrived in Manila three days later. and blocked the port. However, the Westerners were prepared. There were not many ships in the harbor, but the artillery of the harbor batteries was extremely advantageous. After half a day of artillery fighting, we lost a dozen boats, while the other side lost only a couple of small boats parked in the harbor.

Therefore, the eldest lady decided to send fifty ships with a thousand men to land on the island from elsewhere. Capture the harbor batteries from the land, and then attack the city from both land and sea.

At that time, it was Liu Qiang who was responsible for leading the landing and attacking from behind enemy lines. However, the wind and waves were too strong that day, and in order not to be discovered by the enemy, they chose to land at night.

As a result, although the landing was successful, the ship lost most of its half due to excessive wind and waves.
