Luo Wenlong was entertained by Hu Zongxian, and after eating and drinking, he went to the Qinglou, all of whom were top red-card young ladies.

Luo Wenlong has been among pirates for so long, so naturally there is no shortage of women. But Wang Cuiqiao is tightly controlled, so they are all sneaky.

Although I will also go to the Qinglou to spend money when I go ashore, I also don't dare to find a girl who is too red. Because the red card girl will definitely compete with others, and the competition is easy to show up.

His previous identity, that is definitely the more low-key the better, sneaking into the village, don't shoot, so the woman who sleeps is at most second-line.

Today, he is the guest of honor of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangnan, so his identity is naturally very different. The mother of the drunken Red Mansion simply treated him as a fairy, and all the red card girls were brought out.

Of course, because Hu Zongxian was present, he definitely couldn't come up and go straight to the point, which would be too unelegant and too disrespectful.

Therefore, this kind of high-end bureau often appears in the name of a song and dance troupe. It must be the first to sing and dance, and the red-card girls are singing and dancing one by one, beautiful as flying flowers, soft as smoke willows.

Xu Wei and Hu Zongxian called Brother Luo affectionately again, and asked the girls to take turns to come up to toast, Rao is Luo Wenlong drank a lot of wine, and he also drank smoky.

After singing and dancing, Hu Zongxian said that he was not strong enough to drink, so he went home first, and told Xu Wei that he must arrange Brother Luo well.

After Hu Zongxian left, Xu Wei waved his hand: "Brother Luo, which one you like, even if you open your mouth, you will definitely be happy today." ”

Luo Wenlong had long fallen in love with a girl named Ziyun, and he had been salivating with straight eyes, but at this time, Xu Wei opened his mouth, where could he wait, and immediately pointed his finger at Ziyun with drooling.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wei showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, stepped forward to stop his mother, and whispered a few words. Mom was stunned for a moment, ran over and pulled Ziyun aside and whispered.

After a while, my mother came back helplessly and angrily, first punished herself with a glass, and then poured wine for Xu Wei and Luo Wenlong to make amends.

"Two uncles, I'm really embarrassed today. This Ziyun girl is an official eunuch woman, knowledgeable, and has always been very picky about guests.

I talked to her for a long time, and she said that Uncle Luo has a good character and appearance, but his conversation is a little worse, obviously he has no literary talent, and she doesn't want to serve. Why don't you change it? ”

Luo Wenlong was furious, but he also knew that since Xiao Feng carried out some Qinglou reform in the capital, the Department of Education and Workshop issued an order, and the entertainment industry in various places began to pay attention to the rights of practitioners.

Before that, the red card girls in each building had the right to pick people, but now with the umbrella, they are even more arrogant. However, this Ziyun girl is also surprising, and she doesn't even give face to the guests of the governor of Jiangnan.

If you want to say that there is no need to compete in this matter, there are red card girls, and Luo Wenlong can choose another one. Even if you choose two or three at a time, with Hu Zongxian's identity, you won't turn your face and refuse to settle the bill.

But men are this virtue, and what they can't get is always the best. Originally, Miss Ziyun was the best among all the girls, but now that she looks so individual, how can Luo Wenlong look down on other women in his eyes?

If you want to talk about literary talent, Luo Wenlong really doesn't have it. He mainly occupies a clear eyebrow, but after all these years, he is not a little fresh meat.

And in the group of pirates and pirates, there must be many illiterate and vulgar, and he has not had much opportunity to learn literature over the years, and he can curse.

The pirate group is complex, Luo Wenlong can scold from the Jurchen dialect in the northeast to the Tibetan language in the west, and he can also use Japanese to say a few words in the middle.

Seeing Luo Wenlong's calm face, Xu Wei smiled slightly: "This is a!" Brother Luo, don't worry, Brother Luo will definitely help you take down this Ziyun girl! ”

Luo Wenlong was overjoyed: "Is it serious? How did the gentleman teach me? ”

Xu Wei smiled: "I'll recite a poem, you write it on paper, and let your mother hand it to Ziyun." She naturally thinks it's you, but dare to say that you are not literate? ”

Luo Wenlong suddenly realized, immediately picked up the pen and paper, and waited for Xu Wei to recite the poem. Xu Wei took the wine glass and sipped it gently.

The poem has to be in line with your identity and experience, otherwise she may suspect that someone else wrote it, even though it is in your handwriting. But if you bring your identity, there is no doubt about it. ”

Luo Wenlong's heart was itching, he nodded again and again, and his hand holding the pen trembled excitedly, and a certain part had already begun to warm up in advance.

"I am a drifter in the four seas, and I don't love the gods and the red dust. The pearl ring is surrounded by floating dreams, and the lonely peak breaks through the purple clouds. ”

Luo Wenlong recited it again, and he didn't know whether the poem was good or not, but his mother saw it all over her face, and punched Xu Wei with laughter.

"Mr. Xu, you are really, you will make fun of our girl. This poem is naturally good, but the last sentence is inevitably too glamorous. ”

Xu Wei laughed: "Miss Ziyun's eyes are above the top, but my brother Luo is also a hero from all over the world. If I let Brother Luo be the guest of the curtain, of course, I will have to be alone and break through the clouds and the moon! ”

Luo Wenlong woke up and laughed along. Mom went with the poem, and after a while, she came back happily and told Luo Wenlong that Miss Ziyun had agreed.

Luo Wenlong was overjoyed, toasted Xu Wei, shook his spirits, he was already alone, and he couldn't wait to break the purple cloud.

Luo Wenlong is deeply trapped in Gentle Township, and Xu Hai is also actively preparing for surrender. Wang Zhi had already received an order from Hu Zongxian to open a gap in the encirclement and let Xu Hai's fleet sail from the island to Ningbo.

Of course, the direction of this opening is only on this side, if Xu Hai wants to take the opportunity to run in other directions, Wang Zhi will naturally be able to encircle and pursue.

Wang Zhi didn't have any opinions, he should have reminded Xiao Feng tactfully. Xiao Feng didn't care, and there was nothing he could do.

Hu Zongxian is now the governor of Jiangnan, although he, the general of Zhenhai, is not completely under the control of the governor of Jiangnan, but he cannot stand up to it, and can only act according to orders.

Xu Hai watched Wang Zhi's fleet rise and fall on the sea in the distance from afar, and he couldn't help but feel very emotional.

The two have known each other for more than ten years, cooperated, been brothers, split, and enemies. Compete with each other for hegemony and not give in to each other.

As a result, after going around for many years, they were finally recruited by the imperial court. Wang Zhi has been promoted to General Zhenhai, what can he be? According to Hu Zongxian's promise, it should not be lower than Wang Zhi.

After Xu Haihai came ashore, he was warmly welcomed by Hu Zongxian. Hu Zongxian demanded that all the people in his fleet lay down their weapons so that they could enter the city, which was the rule of the Ming army.

Xu Hai didn't know if there was such a rule, so he hesitated, but Wang Cuiqiao persuaded him: "Brother Hai, we have already gone ashore and surrendered."

Now even if Hu Zongxian really turns his face, he has a heavy army, and our brothers are bound to die. What's more, we have already left the island, and Wang Zhi must have occupied the main island.

Even if we can get on the ship, we are not Wang Zhi's opponents. Whether at sea or on land, we have absolutely no hope, we can only believe that Hu Zongxian will keep his word. ”

Xu Hai was right to think about it, and Luo Wenlong was also waving at him at the head of the city. He turned his head and ordered his men to lay down their weapons and enter the city empty-handed.

When Xu Hai entered the city, Yan Shifan's certification materials also entered the capital.

The courier brother of the imperial court accepted the big red envelope given by Yan Song in private, and ran the horse until he foamed, and he was so tired that he almost collapsed, and finally delivered the document to Yan Song's hand with the speed of flash delivery.

After Yan Song gave a five-star praise, he immediately sent the document to Jiajing's hands. So at the small court meeting the next day, Jiajing showed everyone these supporting materials, mainly for his junior brother to see, so as not to have resentment.

The proof materials are very solid, and it can be seen that Yan Shifan has been preparing for a long time for this day.

I contacted Luo Wenlong very frequently, and most of them encouraged Luo Wenlong to endure loneliness, endure humiliation, and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

The ministers looked at each other, and although the evidence was ironclad, they still felt that this thing was magical. In fact, not to mention Xiao Feng, even most of the Yan Party officials don't believe that Yan Shifan has this fierce loyalty.

But Yan Song was very moved, he didn't know that his son was actually so loyal to Daming, he looked at Jiajing with tears in his eyes, and thought to himself, long live, this time you should believe that our father and son are loyal to you, right?

Jiajing was also surprised, of course he didn't know the origin of these letters. Every time Yan Shifan wrote a letter to Luo Wenlong with his left hand, he would write a letter to him with his right hand at the same time.

The difference is that the letter in the left hand will be sent, the content is unspeakable, and it will be burned immediately after reading; The letter from the right hand will not be sent out, and the content is magnificent, just to be kept for today's use.

Seeing that Yan Song was moved like this, Xiao Feng calmed down and raised his own questions.

"Lord Yan, shouldn't Yan Shifan's letters be sent to Luo Wenlong? Why is it still in the hands of Yan Shifan at this time? Could it be that Luo Wenlong has to give Yan Shifan back after reading the letter? ”

Yan Song had already asked Yan Shifan this question, so he was confident at this time.

"Naturally not, children have a habit, that is, every time they write a letter, they have to write two copies together, send one out, and leave one.

The advantage of this is that if you forget what you wrote in your letter after a long time, you can take it out and check it. ”

This is called Liudi, and all departments of the government also do this. It's a bit weird to write a letter personally, but it can't be said that people can't have this habit.

Xiao Feng nodded: "What about Luo Wenlong's reply to Yan Shifan?" Why can't you see a single one? ”

Yan Song said solemnly: "Luo Wenlong is in the bandit's den, so naturally he has to be extremely cautious, it is all a message brought back by the person who sent the letter, otherwise if it is exposed, wouldn't it be bad?" ”

This is reasonable, even Xiao Feng can't say that it is wrong, so he can only find another way to question it.

"Even if these letters can prove that Yan Shifan and Luo Wenlong have dealings, but Luo Wenlong has been in the bandits' den for a long time, can he still obey Yan Shifan's words?"

Yan Song nodded affirmatively: "My son's fold for Long Live has already written that Luo Wenlong is brave and loyal, and he obeys all my son's orders."

Judging from the surrender of Xu Hai this time, this statement is naturally true! Lord Xiao blindly questioned it, but he was jealous of his ability, and he was worried that he would reward my son! ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "I'm not such a person, as long as I am a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, long live whoever rewards me, I am happy, hahaha, so happy!" ”

He said he was happy, but anyone who wasn't blind could tell that he wasn't happy at all.

Jiajing was secretly amused, and decided to give his junior brother some face, and he couldn't embarrass his junior brother on the spot, so he spoke slowly.

"Luo Wenlong and Yan Shifan have been in close contact, and this matter has been recognized by both parties. In this way, when Xu Hai surrendered, it would not be too late for Luo Wenlong and Yan Shifan to be rewarded together.

Yan Aiqing can inform Yan Shifan that he can return to the capital on the same day and wait for the court's decree. You're getting older, and you really need someone around you to take care of you. ”

Although Yan Song regretted that Jiajing could not be rewarded immediately, since he had this, the reward was certain. Eun is allowed to return to Beijing, and returning to the court is just around the corner. The so-called good meal is not afraid of being late, Yan Song immediately thanked him.

At this moment, Lu Bing hurriedly arrived and reported to Jiajing: "Long live, Xu Hai has led his troops to land, and Hu Zongxian has been appeased in the city.

However, Luo Wenlong secretly told Hu Zongxian that Xu Hai had been deceived by surrender, and he was afraid that he would cooperate with the Japanese to seize Ningbo and Hangzhou, and Hu Zongxian had detained Xu Hai and put him in prison and interrogated him strictly. ”

One stone shattered the sky in the water, Jiajing and the ministers were stunned, Xiao Feng reacted the fastest, and immediately asked.

"What about Xu Hai's fleet? What's going on today? ”

Lu Bing glanced at Xiao Feng approvingly: "Xu Hai's fleet has been controlled by Hu Zongxian, and the sailors trained in advance from the land south of the Yangtze River have already boarded the ship, and Wang Zhi has sent someone over to guide how to fight." ”

Jiajing also glanced at Xiao Feng with satisfaction, or the junior brother reacted quickly, as long as Xu Hai's fleet was in hand, it didn't matter whether Xu Hai was dead or alive.

Xiao Feng arched his hand and said: "Senior brother, although Xu Hai's value is not very big at this time, but after all, he is the person who surrendered by the imperial court, if he kills Xu Hai on trumped-up charges, no one will dare to believe it if he surrenders again in the future."

It is still necessary to let Hu Zongxian do a good trial, get tangible evidence, and do not indulge in vain, so as to convince the public and let the people of the world know that my Ming Dynasty is mainly faithful. ”

Jiajing nodded again and again, and asked the cabinet to draw up the purpose according to Xiao Feng's intentions. Yan Song frowned, I don't know why Luo Wenlong suddenly did this, is it his son's plan?

Xu Hai, who was imprisoned at this time, was also very confused, and he couldn't figure out why Luo Wenlong suddenly backstabbed him, so he didn't believe it, and kept shouting injustice, but no one paid attention to him.

Wang Cuiqiao was treated slightly better than Xu Hai, and instead of being imprisoned, she was placed under house arrest in a tightly guarded room. She was so anxious that she kept asking to see Hu Zongxian, but no one paid attention to her.

Luo Wenlong was getting dressed at this time under the service of Miss Ziyun, and when he heard that Xu Hai had been imprisoned, he was also startled, and ran out while lifting his pants, and happened to bump into Xu Wei who came to him.

"Mr. Xu, what's going on? Why were Xu Hai and his wife arrested and imprisoned by Governor Hu? Even if you don't give it to the official, it shouldn't be like this. ”

Xu Wei sighed: "That's what I'm looking for to tell you about." Xu Hai is likely to have surrendered by fraud, and after he entered the city, we caught a Japanese servant outside the city.

This person confessed that Xu Hai had colluded with them a long time ago, and after entering the city, he found an opportunity to steal the city gate, set fire to it, and attacked Ningbo City with the Japanese Kou, and then plotted against Hangzhou City! ”

Luo Wenlong was shocked, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If this is true, not only will all his credit this time be in vain, but he will also be used as an accomplice.

"Sir, this can't be, can it? When he cooperated with the Francois at the beginning, Xu Hai was still hesitant, would he secretly contact the Japanese and do such a big thing? ”

Xu Wei shook his head and sighed: "Brother Luo, you are too honest. If my prediction is correct, it is very likely that Governor Hu arranged this matter. ”

Luo Wenlong was really taken aback one after another: "This ...... Why? Xu Hai surrendered, Governor Hu has already made a great contribution, why do you still act like this? ”

Xu Wei sneered: "Brother Luo, although you have seen some of the world, you are still too tender for the things that deceive me in the court.

Think about it, Hu Zongxian wants to set up his own door, how can he just surrender? He must also thoroughly master Xu Hai's fleet before he can compete with Xiao Dang and Yan Dang.

Although Xu Hai surrendered, once he was appointed by the imperial court, he was no longer under the control of the governor of Jiangnan, but under the control of the imperial court.

Hu Zongxian's door is just established, and his strength is weak, who can guarantee that Xu Hai will not turn into the arms of others?

Not to mention anything else, brother, you have a close relationship with Yan Shifan, is it easy for Xu Hai to switch to the Yan Party?

So instead of keeping him, it is better to get rid of him. Brother Luo, actually, this is also a good thing for you! ”

Luo Wenlong was stunned again: "Why is it a good thing for me?" ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Hu Zongxian wants to keep the great merit of recruiting and surrendering, and also wants to eradicate Xu Hai to prevent future troubles, his only choice is to praise you."

The higher he praises you, the greater the credit for his surrender this time. Originally, the official title he promised to Xu Hai was naturally yours! ”

Luo Wenlong thought about it carefully, it was indeed the truth, he held back the joy and laughter in his stomach, and made a helpless posture.

"It's just that Xu Hai is my father-in-law after all, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes who know about it, and it will inevitably make people poke their backbones when it spreads!"

Xu Wei glanced at him: "Those who achieve great things are not informal." You are a meticulous work for the court, and recognizing Xu Hai as your father-in-law is also a burden of humiliation!

Besides, you will be a general in the future, with heavy troops in your hands, what do you care about? Which Jianghu person has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to go against you? ”

When the Ziyun girl heard the benefits, she hugged Luo Wenlong tenderly, and rubbed a pair of soft bamboos on him, for fear that the future general would not look down on her.

Luo Wenlong's face was red, his ears were red, his whole body was stiff, and he asked Xu Wei with a pant.

"What shall I do, sir?"

Xu Wei nodded with satisfaction: "This is the big husband!" You immediately wrote a letter of denunciation, saying that Xu Hai colluded with the Japanese and tried to seize the city.

In this way, not only will you stand on the same front with Governor Hu, but you will also have a share of the merit of killing Xu Hai in the future! ”
