Bang, bang, bang.

The main ship had a few more rounds of guns, forcing back a ship that wanted to get closer.

Looking at the enemy ship that was far away again, King Dingnan frowned. He sensed that the other party was not trying to get close to the main ship, but was tempting.

The perennial military king of Dingnan has a strong war instinct. If it weren't for the sea, he would definitely have found a way to fight back now. But in the field that he is not good at, even if it is possible to have an advantage, he does not dare to attack rashly.

"These people are tempting, this ship is to attract the attention of our main ship. With their size, it is impossible to eat all our ships. So disconnecting our ship is their purpose. ”

"Norma put up the flag, let all the ships have a round of cannons, and then let half of the people eat and repair first. And let them not worry, our advantage, don't break away from the fleet because of a few shots, or because the ship is close to the collision. ”

"It's the prince."

Looking at the sea that was gradually setting, King Dingnan was worried. He knew that if his expectations were true, then the other party would launch a real offensive in the evening.

King Dingnan spread out his hand. He looked at his trembling palms, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Scared? Great, so many years . Finally this familiar feeling. "King Dingnan's eagle-like eyes stared at the enemy ship deadly.

Sima Liang walked out of the barracks. Looking at the sunset, he sighed.

"It looks like it's going to be hard to go back tomorrow. It's going to worry Bao'er and them again. ”

The delay on the road was relatively long, which caused Sima Liang's schedule to be unable to be completed as usual today. In addition, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow, and he will not be able to return to Yancheng at the scheduled time.

"It's okay lord, if it doesn't work, you can go back first. I can help you with the rest. Yang Yu comforted.

Sima Liang shook his head. Although he can let people do many things for him, the premise is that he has some understanding before he can do it with confidence. Pingnan in particular is very important to him, and it is a must to know some of the situation with his own eyes.

"No need, just go back and let someone report it. I think Lai Baoer can understand. And Pingnan's side is still peaceful after all, and nothing can happen. ”

"Okay. Then let's go back to the post station first, it will be dark soon. Yang Yu said.

"Okay." Sima Liang nodded. Then he looked at the group of officials who followed.

"Disperse. You won't have to come with me tomorrow. My brother-in-law and I can just check it out for ourselves. If anything happens, I will call you again. Sima Liang's gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Jun Cheng's face.

"By the way, you remember to put the booklet out."

Hearing that he was not allowed to follow, the county guard's face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. "Then the prince, donkey, see you later."

"Lord, donkey, see you back."

……

A group of officials saluted and said goodbye to Sima Liang and Yang Yu.

After the carriage left, Sima Liang and Yang Yu got into the carriage.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of these officials?" Sima Liang asked with a smile.

Yang Yu shook his head again and again and laughed. "These people, all old fritters. There is not enough success, but there are many skills to avoid disaster. I looked into it before I came down. ”

"After the official salt case, the only people who were removed from their posts and investigated in Pingnan were clearly handled. In other words, these people have avoided such troublesome things. Even if His Majesty has the idea of turning big things into small things, there are also these people operating in it. ”

Sima Liang felt that what Yang Yu said was very right. He thinks so too.

"If that's the case, it's not going to be a good change. After all, there has to be a reason. Sima Liang said half-jokingly.

Yang Yu smiled but said nothing. An expression of understanding.

can only say that Sima Liang's jokes are as bad as ever. As the prince's territory, it is easy to find a reason to remove an official. As long as he has ideas, no one can continue to stay in his seat.

"Why doesn't the carriage move, is there anything going on outside?" Sima Liang noticed that the carriage had not moved for a long time, and poked his head out to check.

By the side of the carriage, the coachman pulled the reins of the horse and chatted with a man dressed in black.

"What's wrong? Is this the one who came for me? Sima Liang asked.

"Yes, my lord. He wants to see you. In the next, ask what is the matter, and he will not say. I wanted him to come back tomorrow, but he just didn't leave, and insisted on seeing him. The coachman replied.

For the disposal of the coachman, Sima Liang can understand. He stepped out of the carriage and came to the man in black.

"What's the matter? I'm coming, let's talk about it. ”

As he spoke, Sima Liang looked at the other party.

The man in black was very small, only as small as Sima Liang's chin. The cape obscured most of his face, making it impossible to see the whole picture.

Is it cold? Or is it weak? Sick?

Looking at the trembling man in black, Sima Liang was a little puzzled. Although the other party is not wearing a lot, it is not so cold that he shiveres.

"Lord Wang, the untouchables are here to thank you. It is your relief that has allowed the villagers to survive until now. The woman's voice came.

Woman? Thanks?

Sima Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He also thought that those officials who did not act had made something happen again.

"It's okay, it should be. Is there anything else, or a need? Sima Liang smiled gently.

"It's okay, just thank Wang ......" Before she finished speaking, the woman in black fainted and fell to the ground.

Sima Liang's eyes were quick and he hugged the other party. He reached out and touched the woman's forehead.

"It's so hot, I'm really sick." Sima Liang looked at the coachman, "Find a medical center." Turn back and go back to the station. ”

"It's the prince."

Sima Liang hugged the fluttering woman in black and entered the carriage.

"Lord Wang, what is this?" Yang Yu looked at the person in Sima Liang's hand and was very puzzled.

Sima Liang smiled helplessly, "He said he was thanking me, but he fainted as he spoke." The person has a fever and is estimated to have a cold. ”

"Thank you, cold?" Yang Yu checked the clothes of the woman in black.

"This is indeed the cotton clothes that were used to help the people. Although it is not completely frost-resistant, as long as it is covered by roof tiles, it will not catch a cold. And when he was given the order to go down, he asked the doctor to prepare. If you are sick and need to take care of yourself. There has never been such a problem in Yancheng. ”

Yang Yu's answer made Sima Liang frown. "Looks like there's something greasy in this. Perhaps, those guys are doing something about disaster relief. ”

"It's true that we came this time with advance notice. They may have done some preparation and covered up something. Yang Yu replied.

Looking at the woman in his arms, Sima Liang's face became ugly. He doesn't like others to disobey him. Especially some very important things.

The carriage moved slowly. A man hidden in the shadows hurriedly left for a restaurant.

"My lord, a man ran to the king. Our business may have been exposed. ”

"What? How do you think it's so strict? ”

"It's over, what should I do?"

"Admit it."

……

The officials who had gathered around Sima Liang before looked embarrassed and at a loss. Only the county guard sat in his seat, not knowing what he was thinking.
