Since you are going to someone's house as a guest, you naturally can't enter the door empty-handed, this is the rule.

Jiang Yu prepared a piece of meat, a jar of wine, two snacks and a piece of cloth. These things are nothing in her opinion, but for ordinary farmers, they are already a heavy gift.

The owner's surname is Li, and it is a big family of more than ten people. The old couple lives with four sons, three daughters-in-law, and ten grandchildren.

This is similar to Jiang Yuqing's family in the past.

The youngest son in his family is a showman, and now he is studying in the county school, but he has not been able to see him.

The Li family was very enthusiastic. I don't know what the boy said when he came back.

They actually killed a chicken, a whole fish, and a plate of scrambled eggs, plus a few vegetarian dishes, which can definitely be eaten during the New Year's holidays in the villager's house.

Everyone was seated, and they were having dinner, when a young man with a bookcase walked in.

When the Li family saw it, they immediately beckoned him to put down his things to eat, and it turned out that this was the Xiucai son of the master's family.

Xiao Xiucai greeted Jing Yan and them generously, and served a bowl to eat. It's just that between the eyebrows, there seems to be a sad face.

His father asked him: "Fourth, I remember that today was not Xiu Mu, why did you come back?" ”

The young man glanced at Jing Yan and them, and said a little uncomfortably: "Dad, let's talk about it later." The old man understood that now was not the time to speak.

After eating, everyone sat under the tree in the yard to rest and chat. The old man called his youngest son into the back room. However, after a while, there was a fierce quarrel between father and son in the room.

Immortal cultivators have excellent ear power, and the couple can hear the content of their quarrel clearly.

It turned out that this young man's articles were too simple, and the gentlemen of the county school liked the rhetorical articles, and they were quite powerful.

Today, this young man only put forward a different opinion from Mr. and was kicked out of the school by Mr. on the grounds of contradiction and disrespect to Mr.

That's why the old man was so angry and wanted to reason with them. The old man pulled his youngest son and was angry, so he was going to the city to go to the county school to find Mr.

Jing Yan stopped them and said to the young man: "I have also read books for a few years, if you can trust me, just go and bring your article over, and I will show it to you." ”

Xiao Xiucai was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, put down the bookcase on her back, took out the article she had done in the morning and handed it to Jing Yan with both hands.

After Jing Yan read it carefully, he nodded, and said to Xiao Xiucai with a smile: "The article is simple and unpretentious, but it has something to say and a sharp point of view. It's just that you're limited by your knowledge, and it's a little shallow. ”

So I asked carefully, he had a conversation with Mr. in the county school, and read the articles he copied back, Mr. and other classmates, and the rhetoric was really gorgeous, but it was full of "fake big emptiness".

Jing Yan said: "The gentleman who studied in this county is not worthy of teaching you, so don't go." ”

The old man was anxious and said, "If you don't go to the county school, where else can you go?" ”

"Have you ever heard of L.A. Academy?"

Xiao Xiucai nodded: "Naturally, I know." It is a holy place in the hearts of our students in Yuzhou and its nearby state capitals. ”

"Let's go to L.A. Academy."

Xiao Xiucai smiled bitterly: "Brother Tai don't make fun of it, the conditions for students to be recruited in Los Angeles Academy are extremely high, in addition to being excellent enough, they also need officials with positions above the level of academic and political officials in various counties, or Confucian celebrities to recommend them to enter."

Even if he boasted that he could be admitted, no one recommended him, how could he get into Los Angeles Academy. ”

"It's okay, I'll write you a letter of recommendation."

When Xiao Xiucai heard this, she was shocked and stammered: "Brother Tai, you, are you serious?" ”

"A gentleman promises a thousand gold." Jing Yan made a rare joke: "Eating people has a short mouth, since I have eaten your family's meal, I should write you a letter of recommendation." In this way, your chickens and fish are not killed in vain. ”

So let Xiaoxiu take pen and ink, write a letter of recommendation on the spot, and stamp his own seal.

After folding it, it was handed to Xiao Xiu and told him: "You can take it apart when we leave." ”

Only then did the Li family believe that the person in front of them was really capable, so they thanked them again and again.

After sitting for a while, Jiang Yuqing and the others were about to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, the Li family filled a big bag full of flowers for Jiang Yuqing and asked them to take them back and cook them.

After sending off the guests, Xiao Xiucai opened the letter of recommendation that Jing Yan wrote to him.

The pen force penetrates the back of the paper, and the pen travels to the dragon, and the momentum is magnificent. The check-in area is stamped with a bright red stamp.

Xiao Xiucai carefully identified it, and suddenly trembled, and fell to the ground as soon as her knees became weak, and in the direction where Jing Yan and the others left, she kowtowed three times, and her forehead was red.

The Li family was puzzled and asked Xiao Xiucai: "What's your situation?" Why are you still on your knees? ”

Xiao Xiucai clutched the letter of recommendation to her chest and said in a trembling voice: "Father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, do you know who you just ate at our house?" ”

Everyone was confused and asked curiously: "Who, could it be really a great nobleman?" ”

"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor, and the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Prince. His Majesty also wrote me a letter of recommendation and asked me to go to Los Angeles Academy. ”

Xiao Xiucai muttered to himself: "No wonder, he asked me to wait until he left to read the letter." I see, I see!"

The Li family was shocked by this sudden news.

The old man stammered for a long time before he stammered, "His Majesty the Emperor has actually come to our house for dinner." He also praised our family's food for being delicious. ”

The old woman immediately retorted proudly: "I did it with a few daughters-in-law, and it has nothing to do with you."

My heavenly grandfather, even His Majesty praised my cooking for being delicious, and I will see who would dare to dislike my wife's cooking in the future. The old woman smacked him with the bottom of the cauldron. ”

Several sons and daughters-in-law of the Li family were also very excited: "Our family just went to the field to collect a peanut, why did we still invite His Majesty's family?" Isn't there smoke coming out of our peanut field? ”

No matter how excited the Li family was, Jiang Yuqing and they had already gone away. At night they slept in an open field in the wilderness, and the next morning, as soon as the window was opened, a carrier pigeon stopped on the windowsill.

Jing Yan took off the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet, and his face was very solemn after looking at it.

Jiang Yuqing stretched his waist and walked over and hugged his waist: "What's wrong?" With such a heavy face? ”

Jing Yan put away the note and whispered, "A shipload of gold and gems brought back from the Poison Capital Protectorate was robbed by pirates. ”

Jiang Yuqing immediately sobered up when he heard this, his beautiful big eyes narrowed dangerously, like a female leopard who was provoked.

"These pirates have eaten the courage of the leopard of ambition, and even our ships dare to rob them. What are you going to do? ”

Jing Yan's voice was as cold as ice slag: "Those who offend me in Daxia will be punished even if they are far away." Go to Yuezhou and lead the troops to the sea! ”

Suddenly, everyone had breakfast quickly and packed up their things quickly.

Jing Yan Yujian took Jiang Yuqing and his son, and Bai Xiaoshi carried Youwei and Nameless and Qiu Shenyi, a group of six people, all the way to the south coast, but arrived at the camp in Yuezhou in the middle of the afternoon.

A few years ago, the Wa Kingdom in the east was returned to Bactria and renamed Toyofu. The threat from the east was completely removed, and the Fuzhou Navy Division was split into three.

The Shijing Department of the original Jianshan Battalion formed the Oriental Naval Division, and after crossing to the east, it guarded the Oriental Mansion. The first part of the Zhongshan battalion stayed in Fuzhou. The Asan Sealing War Department in the south was transferred to Yuezhou to guard the defense of the South Sea.

When Feng Zhan heard that the guards guarding the door had come to report that His Majesty and Niangniang had arrived, he was so shocked that he almost broke the pen in his hand.

Knowing that they would come, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

So he hurriedly led people out to greet them, and after seeing them, the two sides entered the main tent and talked.

Jing Yan said straight to the point: "What happened to the robbed treasure ship?" ”

Feng Zhan said: "There are two treasure ships in total, one full of gold and precious stones, and the other as a frigate.

It has been 25 days since the two ships, with a total of 408 people, departed from Shenzhi Harbor on 23 August.

Unbeknownst to them, they were caught in a great storm, and the treasure ship was blown off course and strayed into a strange archipelago. One of the escort ships unfortunately crashed into a reef and was seriously damaged.

Just as they were trying to repair the treasure ship, a dozen pirate ships suddenly surrounded them.

After they ran out of thunderbolts on the ship, they were wounded and captured. The letter was sent by them at the last moment, when they released the Xuanniao that had been specially trained by the mother.

Based on the sketches and general information drawn on the letter, the general consulted the big merchants and old sailors who had been to the South Seas many times.

They judged that the place where the treasure ship was hijacked was most likely the Banico Islands. Here is the largest group of pirates in the South Seas, with 7,000 people and nearly 100 warships.

They were skilled in water warfare and were well-armed, and they profited from robbing merchant ships that came and went.

Their leader's name was (Yoshiju), and in order to put gold on their faces, they called themselves "Baniko Country".

It is said that a big businessman who was once robbed by him and luckily picked up his life said that the accent of this righteous speaker is very similar to that of people in Fengcheng, Yuezhou. ”

The righteous lords have dominated the South Seas for many years, especially in the area of the Strait of Malacca. Black and white are both eaten, and some small countries along the coast, under his pressure, have called him tribute, which is a miracle. ”

"The state of Banico? Fortunately, where have you heard of it? Jiang Yuqing felt that this name was very familiar.

Jing Yan took over and said, "I came here two years ago during the Emperor's Thousand Autumn Festival.

It is in the name of the state of Banico. Because there were so many foreign envoys at that time, I didn't pay much attention to them.

I only feel that the king of this country, the Great Xia dialect is too slippery, and the other envoys of Nanyang are a little afraid of them.

But it turns out that there is such a reason inside. Come to think of it, the tributes they gave when they paid tribute were also looted. ”

With these basic information, Jing Yan roughly had a spectrum in his heart.

Now that there are 50,000 sailors and more than 300 treasure ships in the camp in Yuezhou, Jing Yan decided to mobilize armaments, grain and grass as quickly as possible, and will personally lead 30,000 elite soldiers and 300 treasure ships to the south to exterminate these pirates and promote their prestige overseas.

The camp was in full swing to prepare, and he ordered Fengcheng, Yuezhou, to investigate a person named "Yizhu".

However, two days later, news came from Fengcheng. Due to the long period of time, no information about this name "Yizhu" has been found. However, I found a name that was the opposite of this, "Zhuyi".

This Zhuyi is a door-to-door son-in-law, 20 years ago, because of trivial matters at home, after killing his parents-in-law's family, he disappeared and has been wanted by the government until now.

Although I am not sure that this righteousness is all righteousness, if it is really him, it is not impossible to escape to the South Seas and become a pirate after killing people.

Jing Yan was very busy here, and Jiang Yuqing was also in He'an Hall and major medical centers in Yuezhou City, urgently coordinating various medicinal materials, purchasing all kinds of food and vegetable seeds, etc.

That afternoon, after she finished shopping, she rode Bai Xiaoshi, and was about to return to the camp when she suddenly saw a rather familiar figure.

At first she thought she had misunderstood, but when she walked over, she felt unwilling, so she turned around and came back.

The old guy who held a stall on the side of the street to tell people hexagrams, was talking like a river, and said that he was spitting like a river, who was not Huayangzi?

Behind him is also carrying a big cloth sail, with the book "The First God in the World".
