"The villain He Xuan, I've seen Lin Ye."

"Hehe, don't dare to be, you are from the government, I am just a pirate, doing some unpopular business, but I can't afford to be Lord He.

Someone, take a seat for Lord Ho. ”

Lin Sangun was half-lying on the chair, stepping on the ground covered with Western carpets, and said with a smile.

"Lin Ye is polite."

He Xuan arched his hand, and after sitting down, his eyes looked directly at him.

"Haha, it's a little interesting, it seems that the government is not full of soft eggs.

It's been a long time since anyone has dared to look at me like that.

Because everyone who looks at me is begging. ”

Lin Sangun looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and it took a while to calm down, and said:

"Previously, the imperial court sent someone to say that I would be a governor at sea.

Let me ask you, can you let me take these tens of thousands of horses and horses and still camp them on this Hengsha Island?

After all, I'm used to being idle, and I can't stand the control compared to the people in your government.

But don't worry, Lord He, I will do whatever the court wants me to do, and I, Lin Sangun, am not an ambiguous person. ”

As he spoke, Lin Sangun changed his words again:

"What's more, I also have a brother Gou Yong, who is not a good speaker than me.

If the court is not sincere, I really can't open this mouth to him. ”

He Xuan smiled and said:

"This Lin Ye doesn't have to worry too much, we have already talked to Yong Ye...... I mean, I won't bother with this, the villain will go and negotiate with Yongye. ”

Lin Sangun's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He Xuan coughed a few times and said:

"Lin Ye think about it, you and Yong Ye are brothers, and Wang Liang and Wang Qiu are not like you who are people who have achieved great things, as soon as the court says it, they will definitely agree to Zhao'an.

There is only one brave man left, how can he refuse, as long as the villain says it, it will definitely be done. ”

Lin Sangun squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Not bad, yes, it's reasonable." It's just that what I just said, Lord He may agree. ”

"Lin Ye said with a smile, such a big matter, how can I decide it as a small person, I need to go back and report to Lord Qin and Jiang."

Lin Sangun's doubts dissipated a little, and he smiled:

"That's right, okay, then I'll wait for news.

By the way, I also prepared a small gift, when you go back, give it to Master Jiang for me, even if it is my heart. ”

"Lin Ye is polite."

Half an hour later.

The boat slowly departed from Hengsha Island.

And in the sea not far away, a sea ship also headed in the direction of Shuangyue Island.

That's where Gou Yong is entrenched.

The backyard of the Governor's Yamen.

Jiang Ning was playing chess with He Yuyao.

It's just that he's already lost three sets in a row.

He Yuyao dropped the white chess pieces in his hand, pursed his lips and said in displeasure:

"My lord, are you absent-minded?

It's rare for us to play a game of chess, and you still use this attitude towards the slave family. ”

Jiang Ning smiled bitterly: "I am indeed not good at chess, and I am willing to bow to the advantage." ”

"Where is it because of this.

In the past few days, the adults have obviously been preoccupied again, but they have forced a smile on their faces, so that the slave family is not uncomfortable. ”

He Yuyao said with distress on her face.

Jiang Ning sighed faintly and said:

"Those thousand-man teams have been sent out for days, but there has been no news.

I am afraid that if we lose again, the situation along the coast will be even more erosive, not to mention that it will be a huge blow to the morale of the entire army and the people.

I'm afraid I'll be down. ”

Jiang Ning had never said these words in front of outsiders.

Rao is face of Xu Zhiyuan and others, and he has always been full of confidence.

But only when he is alone with He Yuyao, he will be so heartfelt and show his true emotions.

In this regard, although He Yuyao was happy and sweet in her heart, she was more pity and distressed, and she hated to share her worries for Jiang Ning.

She said softly with relief:

"Adults need not be so sorrowful.

The slave family has also seen those soldiers, their morale is high and full, and they have carefully trained their tactics, and they are led by the personal soldiers under the command of adults, so they will not make mistakes. ”

"I hope so."

At this moment, Wu Chounu suddenly ran in excitedly and handed Jiang Ning a paperwork.

"Good news, my lord!

There is good news from all over the four provinces, all of which are the news of the defeat of the Japanese by the thousand-man team, and according to rough statistics, I am afraid that twenty or thirty small groups of Japanese have been eliminated.

The wolf soldiers, the Lianghu soldiers, and the Sichuan soldiers wiped out three groups of more than 1,000 people one after another, and the territory of Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Jiaxing was cleared. ”

"Good!"

Jiang Ning Huo Ran stood up, stroked his palms and laughed.

"Congratulations, sir, you can get a good night's sleep now."

He Yuyao also stood up and congratulated with a smile.

Jiang Ning smiled, waved Wu Chou slave away, and said with a serious expression:

"It's been a long time, and thanks to you by my side, I was able to finally wait for such a big victory.

If you want to come to purge the Japanese bandits, it's not far off. ”

When He Yuyao heard this, he felt as if he was flying up to the clouds.

His cheeks were slightly red, his apricot eyes were bent into a beautiful crescent moon, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay, Yuyao, we won't play chess anymore, such a good omen for attacking and defending, and writing the battle report into a song to the court, I want to commend Your Majesty for the merits of the army."

"Yes."

He Yuyao could clearly feel how happy Jiang Ning was at the moment, and her heart was also happy.

The two walked into the study, and after she sat down, she took out the banknotes and began to organize them according to the report of the war.

Jiang Ning was full of joy and paced in the room for a while.

Suddenly, he approached and said, "Wait." ”

"What's wrong, sir?"

He Yuyao stopped her movements and raised her head in confusion.

"I already held the Tianxiong Army in my hands before, and I have a deep connection with the border army of the three towns in the north.

Now that he has the military affairs of the four provinces, it can be said that he has incense with the large and small guards in various places.

When the Japanese are swept away, as soon as the generals are rewarded and the officials are added to the knighthood, the court will naturally regard them and even these hundreds of thousands of troops as my command.

Your Majesty naturally doesn't feel anything about this, but those civil and military officials are bound to be even more jealous of me.

Even Liu Jin will make some new small moves when he sees that I am in the limelight, which is not in line with the strategy we set at the beginning.

So I think it's better to keep a low profile and continue to keep quiet.

In this way, you will write smoothly and gradually reverse the decline, but the Japanese still have the strength to move to Fujian.

This is exactly what the battle report said, not a deception, but just a tactful description of the big victory. ”

He Yuyao bowed her head lightly, and said with a smile: "My lord is really well versed in the art of hiding clumsy, and the slave family admires it." ”

She hurriedly tore up and threw away the notes she had written before, and wrote on a new piece of paper.

Just as she finished writing and Jiang Ning was reading, Red Sleeves suddenly walked in.

"Miss."

She handed over a secret message.

He Yuyao took it, took it apart and looked at it, and her expression suddenly became a little inexplicable.

Looking at Jiang Ning, who was looking down at Song Shu, she whispered a few words in the ear of Red Sleeves.

"Why, Miss?"

"Go ahead."

Red Sleeves reluctantly said yes and hurriedly retreated.

Jiang Ning raised his head and said, "But what news is coming?" ”

He Yuyao nodded:

"Lin Sangun's side has the intention of having in-depth contact with the imperial court, but he has a big appetite, and he also asks to continue to lead tens of thousands of pirates to be stationed on Hengsha Island."

Jiang Ning sneered:

"Hengsha Island has an important geographical location, and it is a necessary place for the Japanese Kingdom, Ryukyu, North Korea and our Ming merchant ships to pass through.

He thought he wanted to learn from the customs, continue to set up cards to collect taxes, and he was not afraid of death. ”

He Yuyao echoed, and suddenly showed a touch of resentment, and said angrily:

"But this Lin Ye is very good to adults, and he sent a small gift."

"Oh, what gift?"

"Boxes of gold and silver goods are not to mention, and there is a delicate exotic beauty.

The slave family thought that the adults had been going south for a long time, and they were worried about the war all day long, so they asked Red Sleeves to arrange her in the adults' room.

Tonight, I think I can relieve my fatigue. ”

Jiang Ning was stunned.

No wonder he looked at He Yuyao and suddenly something was wrong.

Then why do you have to arrange it for him like this?

"You, I didn't mean that."

Jiang Ning said with a blank look.

He Yuyao covered her mouth and laughed a few times, and said:

"This beauty has been sent to the adult's room, and she didn't deliberately hide it, and many people have seen it.

If the adults are unwilling, not only will they waste a great beauty, but they will also get a fishy body in vain.

Those people don't believe that adults are so clean. ”

"You, you."

Jiang Ning pointed at He Yuyao weakly and left in a hurry.

He Yuyao snorted lightly and said to herself: "If I didn't feel sorry for you, I wouldn't be so cheap and that kind of fox." ”

Jiang Ning ran back to his room.

I saw a tall and beautiful girl with black hair standing in front of the screen, looking at the surrounding environment.

She was dressed in a Hanfu skirt, and her melon seed face was very exquisite.

Joan has a tall nose, a thin cherry mouth, and beautiful eyes with amber pupils.

The figure is not to mention.

Convex and backward, exquisite.

Sure enough, it's a rare beauty.

"Great, sir?"

Seeing Jiang Ning coming in, the woman made a Western salute.

"You know Chinese? What nationality are you from? ”

Jiang Ning stepped forward in surprise and asked.

"I, my name is Diana, and I'm a Franciscan.

Captured by pirates for more than two years, just the day before yesterday, he was sold to an Oriental pirate.

And then I was sent here. ”

Diana was a little timid, raised her head and looked at Jiang Ning, then quickly lowered her head, and muttered:

"It is a blessing for Diana to be able to serve your lordship."

Jiang Ning looked at it carefully.

He could see that although this woman was extremely humble, she was very arrogant in her bones, and even had some graceful and elegant nobility on her body.

Not at all like a person who has been captured by pirates for more than two years and lives in fear every day.
