The dog's journey to the West Lake was finally over, and when he set foot on the shore, he noticed that the guards waiting on the shore were nowhere to be seen, and he mistakenly thought that he had gone to the wrong shore. Just when he was puzzled, hundreds of soldiers from Jintang City quickly appeared, trapped Dog Crooked, Pengshi, and Dog Xuan, and captured them mercilessly. The dog cried out hoarsely, "What are you going to do! What are you going to do! You must know that this king was invited by your city lord! ”

Li Qing, the deputy general of Jintang City, came slowly and gave instructions to the soldiers: "Put the pirate leader Dog Crooked and his two comrades in prison!" ”

The dog shouted loudly at Liqing, "Who are you?" Dare to arrest this king, this king wants to see Yu Zhen, where is Yu Zhen? ”

Liqing turned a deaf ear to the crooked barking of the dog and was indifferent. The dog growled crookedly, and his righteous son, Inu, kept twisting his body, trying to shake off the restraints of the soldiers, but these soldiers were well-trained warriors, and Inugu couldn't get out at all. Peng Shi was silent and left the soldiers at his disposal.

As for the matter of catching crooked dogs, it is completely up to Liqing to make his own decisions. It is said that early this morning, after receiving a letter from Yuzhen, the city lord of Jintang City, Lotte learned that the dog was planning to go to the West Lake to play, so he sent Liqing to lead the soldiers to the West Lake to defend the dog to ensure the safety of the dog. Liqing, however, had a different idea. As a pirate leader, Dog Crook had caused the death of countless civilians of the Eastern Empire, and he dared to set foot in Jintang City, and Liqing decided to let him go and never return. Therefore, when Goucro boarded the West Lake cruise ship, Liqing immediately ordered the arrest of dozens of guards brought by Goucro, and waited for Goucro to arrest him as soon as he came ashore.

Subsequently, Liqing came to the City Lord's Mansion and reported the matter to the Lotte City Lord. Lotte was suddenly furious: "The city lord of Yuechuan City wanted to appease the dog crooked and let him go to the West Lake to play, but you took the initiative to arrest him, how can it be unreasonable!" ”

Li Qing said coldly: "This dog is a child of the Eastern Empire, but he has become a pirate, colluding with the Japanese and bullying the people of the coastal city, the crime deserves death, and the lower official thinks that he has done nothing wrong!" ”

Lotte said: "But Lord Yuzhen wants to recruit them, and arresting him now won't ruin Lord Shuzhen's plan." ”

Liqing retorted: "My lord, the lower officials don't think so. Let a pirate leader come to Jintang City to play, and the expenses are all the assets of the imperial court. Lord Yuzhen acted like this, undoubtedly colluding with the Japanese Kou, otherwise why would he be so hospitable to the dogs. ”

Lotte said lightly: "Forget it, even if you release him now, it's already too late." He must have thought that we were not sincere enough with him. To avoid further chaos, let's stay in prison. I need to write a letter immediately to inform Lord Jo-jin of this so that he can be prepared. ”

Lotte personally wrote a letter to Jo Zhen, informing him about the capture of the crooked dog. However, Liqing firmly believed that there was a suspicion of collusion between Yu Zhen and the Japanese Kou, so he wrote a secret letter and submitted it to the capital.

Before he could express his anger when he learned that Inuka had been arrested in Jintang Castle, a messenger came to report that the pirate Jishan had decided to surrender and planned to arrive at Koshikawa Castle with his wife and fleet in three days. Jo-jin was overjoyed, but Inu's ship was still at the mouth of Koshikawa Castle, and he needed to keep it a secret from Jishan about appeasing Inu. Therefore, in order to hide from Jishan, he ordered the messenger to convey to Jishan: "Change the location of Zhao'an to Wenchuan Castle, and let his fleet go directly to Wenchuan Castle." ”

Since it would take a day to march from Yuechuan City to Wenchuan City, after Yu Zhen gave the order, two days later, he led a Zhao'an team composed of a hundred soldiers to prepare to go to Wenchuan City to meet Cishan. He hoped that he would be able to achieve a phased victory against the Japanese invaders through the recruitment of the second mountain.

It should be said that the reason why Jishan decided to surrender to the Eastern Empire was mainly because of his wife Cui Qiao. As a weak woman, she longs for stability and happiness to live an ordinary and stable life. However, for many years, she has accompanied Jishan on the seas to live a life of fighting and plundering, which is not what she longed for. Therefore, when she received the jewelry and rouge gouache sent by Jozhen, she was immediately attracted to them. As a result, Cui Qiao would express to Cishan every day the benefits of returning to the imperial court, and at the same time, the generous conditions proposed by Yuzhen to Cishan also made him feel moved. Eventually, after careful consideration, Jiyama decided to accept the imperial court's offer.

When Jishan stood at the bow of the ship and led the fleet towards Wenchuan City, Cui Qiao walked to his side. Cishan looked at the woman he loved the most, and said emotionally: "Lady, you have suffered with me all these years, and we will never live the days of hiding in Tibet in the future." ”

Cui Qiao said: "Yes, Xianggong." I've long been tired of fighting and killing at sea. Now that we finally have a chance to live a settled life, I'm really looking forward to our future lives. ”

Cishan said: "The imperial court has very favorable conditions for our recruitment policy, and I will not go anywhere in the future, so I will accompany my wife at home." ”

Cui Qiao said: "Think about it, we can have our own house in the future and live a peaceful and happy life every day." I can be a virtuous wife, and you can pursue your dreams to your heart's content and become a hero of the Eastern Empire. ”

Cishan looked at Cui Qiao with emotion, held her hand tightly and said, "Lady, you are right. Together, we can build a great home for our future. I swear that I will protect you and our family and never let you be harmed in any way. ”

Cui Qiao smiled and nodded: "I believe in you, Xianggong." We will face the challenges of the future together and create a happy life together. ”

Their eyes were full of longing for the future, and they looked at each other affectionately. But what they don't know is that danger is approaching them.

According to the original plan, when Yuzhen led his troops to the dock of Wenchuan City, Cishan and his fleet would also arrive at the same time. However, Yu Zhen did not expect that Cishan's fleet would arrive a day earlier, and at this time, Yu Zhen had just set off from Yuechuan City.

The soldiers at the seaside outpost in Wenchuan City saw a huge group of Japanese warships roaring towards them from a distance, and their faces showed a deep panic. The soldiers hurried to the camp, found General Nanzhu, and reported the sudden situation to him. General Nanzhu looked solemn when he heard this, and he understood that this battle would be a severe test. Without the slightest hesitation, General Nanzhu immediately ordered to lead 20,000 wolf soldiers to the seashore to prepare to meet the Japanese invaders.

As soon as Jishan's fleet arrived, General Nanzhu did not hesitate to order his troops to fight a fierce battle against the Japanese invaders. Jishan tried to explain something, but the wolf soldiers did not listen to his arguments, they only saw the enemy in their eyes, and only thought about defending their homeland. In the midst of the scuffle, an accident happened, Cui Qiao was injured, her body lost her balance and fell to the shore. Jishan was just about to save her, but a soldier next to him was fighting with a Japanese robber, and the soldier raised his wolf sword and knocked out the Japanese knife in the hand of the Japanese robber, and the Japanese knife was inserted into Cui Qiao's throat impartially, killing Cui Qiao instantly. This scene made Cishan's heart twist like a knife, and anger burned in his heart.

Jishan looked at Cui Qiao's corpse, and he angrily ordered all the Japanese soldiers to fight bravely to avenge Cui Qiao. General Nanzhu did not flinch, he also ordered to fight bravely to kill the enemy and fight to defend Wenchuan City.

The big battle between the two armies lasted a whole day. On this day, the wolf soldiers fought with all their strength and blood. Their bravery and tenacity left the Wako helpless, and in the end they won a great victory.

After the battle, only Jishan was left alive by the enemy, and he walked to the deep sea with Cui Qiao's body in his arms. He looked at the rough waters, and his heart was full of remorse and self-blame. He muttered to himself: "Lady, I was wrong, I shouldn't accept Zhao'an!" This sentence seems to be his repentance and endless apology for Cui Qiao. He is deeply aware that for the sake of his so-called honor and interests, he has lost the woman he loves forever.

In the early morning of the next day, when Yu Zhen led the Zhao'an team to the beach, he was greatly surprised by the scene in front of him. The shore was in disarray, and the soldiers of Wenchuan City were carefully searching each and every broken ship. Seeing this scene, Yu Zhen realized that he was late. He anxiously searched for the second mountain in his heart, but he couldn't find it.

General Nanzhu had already returned to the camp, and only Vice General Shuangyu led some soldiers to stay on the shore to clean up the mess. Yu Zhen hurriedly found the deputy general Shuangyu and asked about the battle. Vice Admiral Shuangyu smirked proudly: "The Japanese have all been annihilated, and their leader has also jumped into the sea and died. ”

Hearing the news, Yu Zhen felt some remorse and self-blame. He blamed himself for not arriving in time to keep Jishan safe. However, he couldn't blame the soldiers of Wenchuan City completely, because they had no way of knowing that Jishan's true intention was to surrender.

The attempts of the two pirates, Zhao'an Dog Crook and Cishan, ended in failure, which made Yu Zhen start to doubt his strategy. He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't arranged for the dog to go to West Lake to play, maybe he wouldn't have been caught and ruined Zhao'an; If Jishan hadn't been allowed to go to Wenchuan City to accept Zhao'an, maybe he wouldn't have died in that war. However, it has happened, and it has had irreparable consequences. Frustrated and confused, he begins to reflect on whether his decision was the right one and whether there are other better options.

Yu Zhen did not stay in Wenchuan City for long, and he decisively led the army back to Yuechuan City.

Seven days later, the imperial historian Tu Yi led a forbidden army from the capital to Yuechuan City. In the Eastern Empire, the main duty of the Imperial Doctor was to supervise the hundred officials, at first, Yu Zhen thought it was a normal inspection, but when Tu Yi told him the real intention, he couldn't help but start to get nervous.

Tu Yi said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, the imperial court learned of a secret letter against Lord Yuzhen, which accused Lord Shuzhen of colluding with the Japanese Kou. The emperor was furious after reading it, and specially sent his official to investigate the matter, I wonder if Lord Yuzhen has any excuse for this? ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhen hurriedly knelt on the ground and eagerly defended himself: "This matter is definitely an injustice to the lower officials!" The sin of the unforgivable is an unforgivable sin, even if I, Yuzhen, have thousands of heads, I would not dare to commit such a crime! ”

Tu Yi smiled faintly and said: "This official is only ordered to come to investigate, and whether Lord Yuzhen has been wronged can only be concluded by waiting for the results of the investigation." However, pending the results of the investigation, this official has to temporarily remove you from all your positions and leave the official duties to Mu Peng, the general who defends the city of Koshikawa Castle. In addition, you are not allowed to leave Koshikawa Castle without permission while the investigation is ongoing. ”
