Mao Haifeng was stunned, stopped his sore and numb arms, and watched Xu Hai's flagship roll and sink in the huge waves, like a fool.

Wang Zhi yelled: "Xu Hai is not saved, get him back for me!" ”

A small boat rushed over, dragged Mao Haifeng onto the boat, and pulled the cable back to the flagship. Wang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let Xu Hai's fleet hurry up and lean in the direction of the treasure ship! Don't go over the big ships of the flagship level, in case of a collision, it's over! ”

A big ship also wanted to lean in the direction of the treasure ship, Wang Zhi was furious, ordered people to raise the flag, and roared hoarsely.

"Big ships are not allowed to come in the direction of the treasure ship! Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky! If anyone dares to disobey the order, I will shoot and sink it! ”

Under Wang Zhi's deterrence, the big ships all changed directions, and the small boats gathered more around the treasure ship. Even so, ships continue to collide, break, and capsize.

After some time, the fleet finally broke out of the storm and entered the relatively calm sea, and they were already far away from the direction of Japan.

In this battle, the two sides didn't even see each other's faces, but it was a tragic battle. Both sides were strewn with corpses and rivers of blood.

Japan sacrificed 30,000 old and weak, so that only 40% of the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty remained, and most importantly, a large number of ships were lost, and the treasure ships were also scarred, completely losing the ability to land operations.

The two scarred treasure ships, plus Wang Zhi's flagship, led the remaining dozen or so large ships, overloaded with more than 40,000 soldiers, and slowly sailed in the direction of Jilong Island.

They took a breath there, then requisitioned the defending ships stationed on Jilong Island and sadly returned to the coast of Daming.

At this time, the people who were far away in the capital did not know anything about all this. Xiao Feng led Qiaoqiao and Zhang Yunqing to go to the World Observatory again, and took out three new muskets.

Muskets, naturally, are forbidden weapons to be possessed by the people. According to the rules, Xiao Feng submitted a document to the Ministry of War and the Five Cities Terracotta Division in advance, stating that it was to test the improvement effect of the musket.

Although it was within Xiao Feng's capacity to personally test the improved musket, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Military Department were still very cautious.

They repeatedly asked whether Xiao Feng's gun would be brought into the capital. Because if that's the case, censorship will be cumbersome.

Xiao Feng said that I was hunting and testing muskets, what did I bring into the capital for? Definitely won't go into town.

Both departments breathed a sigh of relief and happily approved the formalities. It is required to be lent on the same day and returned on the same day, and cannot be overdue.

Xiao Feng really didn't enter the city, but it wasn't far from the city wall. Three men, three guns, and a birdcage with three pigeons in it.

The pigeons are very strange, usually Lao Tzu wants to fly and fall, the door is open, why do you still use the cage today?

And usually out of the task, usually Lao Tzu himself out, today to get three pigeons at a time, this is not trust Lao Tzu, do you want to do involution?

Xiao Feng took out his binoculars and looked at the sky for a while, then opened the cage, took out a pigeon, and threw it into the sky.

After the pigeon flew to the sky, I found that it was the capital in front of me, and I couldn't help but be stunned, I was the pigeon flying in the direction of the capital!

Is this time such a short journey? This is not a pigeon transmission, this is a flash delivery! No matter, fly!

The black shadow hovering in the sky was also stunned, probably not expecting a pigeon to suddenly flash in the air. Before they could react, the pigeons had already flown into the capital and got into the pigeon cage of the Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Feng didn't wait, and directly threw the second pigeon again, and the pigeon was also stunned, is the journey so short this time......

Then, before it could recover from its stunned state, a black shadow flashed in the sky, as fast as lightning, and swooped down!

Xiao Feng raised his gun in an instant, Zhang Yunqing and Qiaoqiao's reaction was a little slower, and three gunshots rang out one after another. The shadow was hit, as was the unlucky pigeon.

In fact, the shadow was too fast to aim. Zhang Yunqing and Qiaoqiao were both pigeons that were directly aimed at according to Xiao Feng's instructions......

Almost at the same time, a terrible whistle sounded within the city walls, mixed with three gunshots, and it looked particularly angry.

The shadow and the dove fell to the ground and rolled over, fluttering and unable to fly. Another dark shadow in the sky disappeared in an instant, and I don't know where it flew to.

Xiao Feng stepped forward and picked up the black shadow from the ground, about twice the size of a pigeon. Qiaoqiao's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"This bird is not an eagle, is it, the eagle is bigger than this, why is it so fierce?"

Xiao Feng's face was heavy: "This is Hai Dongqing, the most ferocious falcon, this thing is very valuable, worth a thousand gold." ”

Zhang Yunqing businessman blood attack: "Then how much is it worth now?" ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "It's worthless if it's dead." Hai Dongqing flew high and was extremely fast, if it wasn't for the pigeon to lure it down, we wouldn't have had a chance to hit it. ”

Zhang Yunqing looked into the sky and couldn't see anything: "Brother Xiao, are we still waiting to fight the other one?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "No need, let's return the musket." If this one dies, the other won't be released again.

The first pigeon that flew to the south of the Yangtze River was injured, and I think these two Hai Dongqing are specifically staring at the scope of the capital, otherwise the pigeon will not only be injured. ”

Zhang Yunqing was shocked: "Brother Xiao, if this Haidongqing is artificially released, then the pigeons that fly in and out of the capital will definitely die."

But the brocade guards also rely on pigeons to send messages, and the pigeons are frequently missing, so they haven't found out? ”

Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "You're right, with the ability of Jinyiwei, it's impossible not to find it, so there is only one possibility."

When Jinyiwei releases the pigeons, these two Haidongqing will disappear, and when Jinyiwei finishes releasing the pigeons, Haidongqing will reappear.

Or another possibility, the pigeons of the Jinyiwei carry a special marking, such as a certain color, and Hai Dongqing has been trained. ”

Zhang Yunqing bit his lip and said, "Brother Xiao is saying that this pigeon was released by Jinyiwei?" ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "There is only this one possibility." Otherwise, I don't need to hunt, I'm afraid that Jinyiwei will do it a long time ago. ”

Qiaoqiao secretly picked up the pigeons that had been injured by mistake and carried them with her hands. Xiao Feng frowned.

"Qiaoqiao, you don't want to bake it, do you? Carrier pigeons fly all year round, meat firewood, not delicious, not as good as chicken. ”

Qiaoqiao shook his head: "It died to help us do something, I want to take it back and bury it, I buried the pigeons at home before they died." ”

Xiao Feng's heart was hot, and he gently patted Qiaoqiao's head.

Qiaoqiao is right, he understands things better than many people. It died to help us, and we should treat it well. ”

Long after Xiao Feng left with the two of them, Lu Bing hurriedly stood on the city wall under the leadership of a brocade guard and looked at Hai Dongqing's corpse on the grass in the distance outside the city.

"Since you found out that Xiao Feng came to the edge of the city with a musket, why don't you recall Hai Dongqing immediately? What is your mission? What to eat! ”

The dark pile replied tremblingly: "Adult, the villain doesn't know that Xiao Feng came here to fight Hai Dongqing."

After the first pigeon flew away, the lowly job found out that something was wrong, but before the lowly whistle blew, Xiao Feng started, and the lowly job was too late. ”

Lu Bing sighed: "Leave the capital with Hai Dongqing, don't come back without an order!" Remember, don't let anyone know! ”

In the Xiyuan Elite House, after listening to Lu Bing's return, Jiajing sighed distressedly.

"Anyway, this Hai Dongqing was also set up in order to prevent the Xiao Mansion from communicating with the outside world after the appearance of the poem of Yan Allegiance and Grievance Appeal before.

It doesn't matter if there are any or not. You too, after Xiao Feng returns to Beijing, you should put Hai Dongqing away.

If Xiao Feng knew that it was released by Jinyiwei, he would inevitably think that it was aimed at him, but he was afraid that he would feel even more uncomfortable. ”

Lu Bing listened to Jiajing's complaint and was very helpless. At the beginning, it was ordered by Jiajing to release Hai Dongqing, and he naturally had to wait for the holy order to collect Hai Dongqing.

If he asks Jiajing whether he has taken back Hai Dongqing for no reason, he will inevitably be suspected of questioning Jiajing's methods.

"Long live, it shouldn't be, there are also dignitaries in the capital who like the way of field hunting.

What's more, taking a step back, even if Xiao Feng can think that it was put by Jinyiwei, it doesn't matter. ”

Jiajing raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by this?" Wouldn't Xiao Feng feel that he was targeting him? ”

Lu Bing shook his head and said: "Hai Dongqing can't tell whose pigeon it is, except for the pigeons of Jinyiwei, the pigeons in the entire capital are treated equally."

There are many wealthy families in the capital, and there are not many pigeons. Many foreign officials have private residences and eyeliner in the capital, and it is not inappropriate for the imperial court to deter them, not to mention who they are targeted. ”

Jiajing closed his eyes, obviously satisfied with Lu Bing's words, and in the green smoke, Jiajing suddenly thought of something.

"Yesterday you said that many people went to the WTO accession concept. The legend says that the old Taoist body has been sanctified, is this true? ”

Lu Bing nodded and said, "The minister has personally gone to see it." Lao Dao died in the edict prison, and when he died, he sat cross-legged.

Its body is as stiff as wood and stone, and its skin is tight and dark gold, which is indeed very consistent with the legendary sanctification of the flesh. ”

Jiajing was silent, and Lu Bing and Huang Jin also stopped talking. This matter is really a and embarrassing thing for Jiajing.

The criminals you have appointed to be Ling Chi have been sanctified in the flesh in the blink of an eye. So many people poured into the world, if you really believe that you are spitting on the old way, it is to insult Jiajing's IQ.

But Jiajing was helpless, because he had already spared the punishment of Lao Dao Ling Chi and handed over the body to Xiao Feng for disposal.

And this is what Xiao Feng exchanged for his own great merit and his title, and it is even more impossible for Jiajing to regret it.

So Jiajing can only remain silent, which probably means that as long as I am not embarrassed, I will not be embarrassed.

So Lu Bing also pretended not to be embarrassed and quit Xiyuan and returned to his house.

It was getting late, the lights were on everywhere, and in a room across the courtyard, a teenager was reading hard under the lamp.

Lu Yi greeted him, saw Lu Bing's eyes looking at the window across the courtyard, and whispered.

"He's very studious, but he's not very smart, it seems that his father's genius he can't inherit, but fortunately, his father's viciousness he hasn't inherited either."

Lu Bing sighed: "It doesn't matter if a genius can be inherited or not, as long as you don't inherit his viciousness."

It's just that it's easy to tell if a person is smart, but it's hard to tell if a person is vicious. Yan Xiaozhong died, did he have any reaction? ”

Lu Yi shook his head: "He has never seen Yan Xiaozhong since he was a child, and after hearing it, he was just saddened, and he didn't have any other reaction." ”

Little knowledge, the word heredity was in the "Historical Records", and it was the meaning of circulation at that time.

However, we have no evidence to say that the ancients would not have used this word verbally to represent "the dragon wins the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the mouse son will make holes", right?

In the dead of night, the lights in each room were extinguished one by one, and the lights in Yan Shaoting's room were finally extinguished.

After reading for a day, Yan Shaoting felt very tired, and these days when he heard about his brother's case of redress for his father, he was also in a bad mood, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Yan Shaoting woke up slowly, dizzy and swollen, and his nose was full of the smell of incense.

He was lying in a cellar with a dim oil lamp lit on the side, and several men in black were looking at him with delight.

These people were all masked, but their joy could be seen in their eyes. (If you don't explain, you'll definitely be questioned for a while, hahaha.) ）

Seeing that he woke up, several people fell to the ground at the same time: "Second son, the Lu Mansion is heavily guarded, without this method, there is really no way to rescue the second son, and please ask the second son Haihan." ”

Yan Shaoting shook his head in confusion: "Help? I'm not trapped in the Lu family, why do I want to save it? Who are you? ”

The leader arched his hand: "Second son, we are the dead soldiers left by your father." Your father left a fortune in Japan.

Although most of it was given to Xiao Qin, some of it was left for you. We have been keeping this wealth in good stead, waiting for the right time.

This year, Japan and the Ming Dynasty fought against each other, Xiao Qin sent people to look for allies everywhere, and our people went to a place called 'Silly Three'. ”

Yan Shaoting was very surprised: "How come there is still a place named after 'Silly Three'?" Don't the people of that place think they are angry? ”

The leader shook his head: "The people there are stupid, and they can't fight. Such a big place, similar to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but it has never been unified, and there are many small countries.

The largest country in the central government is called the Mughals, and the king is still a Mongol, and it was the defeated Mongols who fled and defeated the locals to establish it!

Because the lord had dealings with Altan Khan during his lifetime, the Mughal kings had also heard of some of them. He believes that the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is his friend.

So the Mughal king agreed to sell us a piece of land and let us establish our own state. Our men have already gone with their treasures. ”

Yan Shaoting was surprised: "Can you establish a country by having money?" Won't they rebel against us? ”

The leader shook his head and said, "The people in that place are stupid, as long as they have money, they can build an army and help you fight, and they are very loyal."

And they also worship people who are whiter than them. With your fair complexion, the second son, it is absolutely no problem to be the king directly when you get there. ”

Yan Shaoting was taken aback: "No, is there still a country that determines the height of skin color?" Does being white make you superior? ”

The leader was very sure: "It will never be wrong, the second son believes me." Now that the land and army there are almost ready, I will come to welcome the second son to ascend the throne. ”

Yan Shaoting was just ten years old at this time, and his mind was still immature, but the huge changes in his family made him not an innocent child.

These people's statements are both unbelievable and quite logical, but it makes it difficult for him to distinguish the truth from the false for a while. He asked hesitantly.

"My father was guilty of the Ming Dynasty when he was alive, and I was forgiven by the court and was not connected. Every person is grateful and fearful, and does not dare to try for unequal blessings. ”

The leader sighed: "The second son is young, his family has undergone great changes, and it is normal for people to be afraid.

But the lord said that the second son is definitely not a thing in the pool. Now that the second son is swimming in the shallows, it is right to be cautious.

Second son, rest assured, our brothers were all saved by the lord, and this life is the lord's.

This time I finally got a good opportunity and had a place to stay, even if I fought for my life, I couldn't let the second son continue to survive in a dangerous situation! ”

Yan Shaoting shook his head and said, "Uncle Lu is very good to me, and Lu Yi is also very good to me." I'm very free in Lu Mansion, and it's not that I can't go in and out.

They don't let me go out these days because of my eldest brother's business, and they don't want me to get involved, but also to protect me. ”

The leader sneered: "Lu Bingken protects you, it's not fake. He is not a ruthless person, but he is by no means a good man and a woman.

At the beginning, the lord threatened him with his secret, so that Lu Bing agreed to protect you, and Lu Bing also pushed the boat along the river, helping you and helping himself.

But now that the eldest prince and the thousand-armed Rulai have joined forces to make such a fuss, what a cautious person Lu Bing is, and whether he will continue to protect you, it is difficult to say.

Even if Lu Bing doesn't turn his face, there is still Xiao Feng. In case Xiao Feng suddenly remembers the lord one day and wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, as long as he blows the wind with Banzai, Lu Bing may not be able to protect you.

At the beginning, he was not connected to the second son, which was long live's affection for the old lady. Now that the old lady has long passed away, people are leaving tea and cooling, but Xiao Feng is at the time of power.

The second son stayed in the Lu Mansion, but he was just a lamb to the slaughter, just to see when others would start. In this case, why not get out of danger as soon as possible, and the flying dragon is in the sky? ”

Yan Shaoting understood that what they said was indeed very reasonable. But he was born in the Ming Dynasty and grew up in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he suddenly wants to leave his homeland forever, he inexplicably goes to a place called "Silly Three", which is really a little difficult for him to choose.

Just as Yan Shaoting hesitated, a man in black suddenly jumped into the cellar from the outside and said very nervously.

"Big brother, Lu Bing has come over with Jinyi Wei! We're not going to find out! ”

The leader pondered for a moment: "Although we can rescue the second son, it will be difficult to get out of the city after all." How many people did Lu Bing bring here? ”

The black-clothed man in the report said: "There are not many people, Lu Yi is among them, it seems that they are all Lu Bing's henchmen, and he did not dispatch a large number of people."

And according to my observation, the Lu Mansion is also very calm, it should be that Lu Bing did not announce the matter, but secretly searched for it. ”

The leader smiled smugly: "As expected." We and Lu Bing are afraid of fighting wolves with bamboo poles!

We need to act in secret, and he, Lu Bing, doesn't dare to make a big deal out of it. Anyway, the fish died and the net was broken in this move. I'm going to negotiate with Lu Bing! ”

Yan Shaoting hurriedly said: "Uncle Lu is so powerful, he won't let me go, and he will kill you, how do you negotiate with him." ”

The leader thought for a while: "Second son, one of the things that the lord could use to negotiate with Lu Bing should be the matter of Meilong Town that Lu Bing helped Long Live do."

But long live this matter is known, the lord can't really threaten Lu Bing with this, then there must be something else!

The lord must not have told the eldest prince, otherwise he would have pulled Lu Bing into the water if he cooperated with Lao Dao this time.

Second son, did the lord tell you anything that could guarantee that Lu Bing would not dare to do anything to you? ”

Yan Shaoting was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he fell into deep thought......

"Shout every morning, looking forward to voting and urging changes"
