Chapter 272: The drama is to the extreme
Yizhu asked people to call all his generals to discuss countermeasures.
A lame mute handyman with a scar covering half of his face pushed the door in with a local cup of tea, poured cups for the pirates on the table, and then silently withdrew.
Silently, as if there had never been such a person in the world.
The next morning, as usual, he carried a wooden barrel to the dungeon to deliver food to the wounded soldiers of Great Xia who were imprisoned here.
When the pirate in charge of the guard saw that it was him, he didn't raise his eyelids, and let him in.
Rice is the leftover gluttonous scraps that the pirates ate yesterday. Even so, I only have one meal and one bowl of water every day.
Although it was difficult to swallow, the soldiers of Great Xia still endured the regurgitation and forcibly swallowed it in their stomachs.
As long as you live, you have the hope of returning to Great Xia, and only by staying alive can you have a chance to take revenge in the future.
Suddenly, one of the team leaders felt an unusual foreign object in his mouth, and his heart moved, so he quietly spit in the palm of his hand and found that it was a small wax pill.
He glanced warily outside the cell, and saw that the pirates guarding it had not noticed. So he pinched open the wax pill, and there was a small note inside.
With the faint light, he quickly glanced at it, and wrote a line of small words: "Emperor Xia has led the army to Johor, wait!" ”
The team leader suddenly clenched his fists excitedly and shed tears.
It turned out that Great Xia did not give up on them, and His Majesty personally led troops to save them.
When the squad leader quietly passed on the news, the soldiers were overjoyed. Fortunately, I still remember the current situation, so I had to press the excitement in my heart and wait patiently.
During the day, a fleet of pirate ships went out to rob and succeeded again. The pirate chieftains were eating and drinking in the halls of the "royal palace", and they were having fun with their women in their arms.
Before long, the people in the hall were all drunk, and one by one they staggered, and after a while, they slept like pigs.
The dumb man silently exited the hall, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and his hanging thumb and index hand twisted gently.
I hope the efficacy of this medicine will last a long time.
Outside, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the mute people who knew the way to avoid the guards, with crutches made of tree branches, hurried along the inaccessible path, and finally came to a steep cliff.
On the steep cliff was a big tree that could only be embraced by two people, and the dumb man skillfully pulled out a thick hemp rope from the rotten grass at the base of the big tree.
One end was neatly tied to the tree, the other end was tied to himself, and he slid down the cliff smoothly as before.
At the bottom of the cliff is a small cave carved out by the sea, and a small boat is parked in the cave.
The mute stepped on the water, dragged the boat out of the hole, and after facing the right direction again, he rowed out of the sea firmly, and soon disappeared into the night......
Three days later in Johor Port.
Jing Yan was discussing with the generals about surrendering. Youwei came to report that the liaison officer from Johor had brought a very important person, and this person knew the details of Yizhu.
When Jing Yan heard this, he immediately suspended the meeting and summoned them in.
The man brought by the Johor liaison officer was a middle-aged man with a leg problem, and one side of his face was burned by the fire, and he looked very hideous.
Due to the erosion of the sun and sea breeze all year round, his skin is dark, and the remaining half of his face is also extraordinarily vicissitudes.
This is the "dumb man" who escaped from the pirate's lair. After he came in, he gave Jing Yan a big gift, the standard Daxia etiquette: "Grass people Chen Yanfeng, long live your majesty in Great Xia, long live." ”
The people in the room were suddenly shocked: "Are you from Daxia?" ”。
The man said excitedly: "Yes, the grass people are originally from Qingquan County, Fuzhou." ”
Because he pretended to be dumb, he hadn't spoken for a long time, and the man's voice was as hoarse as a broken gong, and every time he said a word, his throat was like a knife scraping, which was very painful.
Even so, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Jing Yan asked someone to bring him tea, gave him a seat, and asked him to sit down and talk slowly.
Next, Chen Yanfeng talked about his own experience.
"More than 20 years ago, our Fuzhou was severely plagued by pirates, and many fishermen along our coast were unable to survive by the scourge of pirates, so they had no choice but to find another way out.
Many years ago in our family, there was an uncle who went out and was a man of great ability.
After working hard in this area of Nanyang for several years, he established his own country on the Banico Islands, called Nanxia.
This uncle once asked someone to bring us a letter back, so that we could go to Nanyang to live together.
It happened that the Japanese invaders were making a lot of trouble, and my father thought that instead of waiting for his family to starve to death, or be killed by the scourge of the Japanese invaders, it would be better to go out and go to the South Seas to join this uncle.
My father was also a man of courage, sold all his possessions and boarded a merchant ship bound for the South Seas.
We successfully arrived in Nanyang, and after several journeys, we successfully found the place where my uncle was.
My uncle gave us a house and land, and even servants. Our family settled down in Southern Xia.
However, within two years, a man named (Yizhu) came to Nanxia, and he accidentally saved my uncle's life.
My uncle thought he was a very capable person, so he kept him by his side as a personal guard, and later made him a general.
Who knew that this man had wolf ambitions and secretly controlled the army of the Southern Xia Kingdom. After my uncle's death, he rebelled, killed all my uncle's children and grandchildren, and established the so-called state of Banico.
Our family did not escape his murder. A few days before the accident, I happened to break my leg and was recuperating at home.
When the rebels came to smash my door, it was my father who reacted quickly and pushed me into the family wine cellar, which saved my life. ”
When Chen Yanfeng said this, his hands instantly clenched into fists, the green tendons on the back of his hands were exposed, and his eyes became blood-red, full of hatred.
Gritting his teeth, he continued: "After those brutes killed my father and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, they set a fire and burned my house to ashes.
When they left, I crawled out of the cellar to find all my relatives burnt to the ground. ”
He paused for a moment, restrained his emotions angrily, and then continued: "In order to take revenge, I picked up a piece of charcoal that had not been extinguished and pressed it on the left side of my face......
So my face was the way it is now, when I was just sixteen years old.
After I recovered from my wounds, I pretended to be dumb and took the initiative to find them, and successfully infiltrated them and became a lowly rough handyman.
Because I (can't speak), I won't divulge their secrets. After a long time, I gradually gained their trust.
Slowly, I was able to get my hands on some of the logistical things, and I was able to go to sea with the ship occasionally.
Later, when they had a meeting, I was the only one who could enter the conference hall except for Yoshizu's henchmen.
Two days ago, when I went to the conference hall to bring them tea, I heard them say that His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia had come and wanted to recruit them. I knew my chance had finally come.
The other day, they had succeeded in robbing a few more merchant ships, and while they were having fun in the hall, I put sweat medicine in their wine and escaped by night.
Your Majesty, they intend to plan and surrender! ”
"How to deceive the law, in detail?"
Chen Yanfeng drank his saliva and moistened his aching throat. Jiang Yuqing saw that he was really uncomfortable, so he gave him a throat lozenge.
Chen Yanfeng took it and put it in his mouth, and his throat was really much more comfortable.
After thanking him, he continued, "They plan to find a stand-in to disguise themselves as Yoshiju and pretend to surrender.
When you let your guard down, the real righteous will lead a large army to kill you again, and kill you by surprise.
In addition, there were thirty-two surviving crew members in the palace dungeons in Great Xia, almost all of them wounded, and they were in a very bad condition.
On the morning of my escape, I secretly sent them a message telling them that Your Majesty had arrived, and that they should wait patiently. ”
Jing Yan praised him: "Well done, thank you for your hard work." ”
Chen Yanfeng said: "As long as I can avenge my family and my uncle's family, I am willing to die." ”
His encounter was really embarrassing, Jing Yan asked about some of the internal situation of the "Baniko State", and Chen Yanfeng also knew everything and said everything.
After asking about the situation clearly, Jing Yan asked people to take him down and arrange for him to eat and rest.
Sure enough, the next day, Yizhu sent someone to Jing Yan to send a message, saying that he was willing to accept the surrender of Great Xia, and the time and place were determined by Great Xia.
The intention was conveyed to Great Xia an illusion that they were very sincere. If you didn't know about their conspiracy, you might really be fooled by Great Xia.
Therefore, Jing Yan simply gave them a "plan in a plan".
After deliberation, he set the time for October 12, three days later, and in order to "facilitate" the docking of their ships, he also chose the largest island in Johor near the edge of the continental shelf, the largest of the small archipelago.
As it happens, there is also a small port on this island.
At the appointed time, "Yizhu" really came, with more than 20 younger brothers, carrying several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
They surrendered their weapons and offered jewelry. Daxia was also "very satisfied", saying that since he was back, it was his own family, and he was not to blame for the past, and the scene was quite nice.
"Yizhu" is also "grateful again and again, grateful and grateful", and both sides have played the trick to the extreme.
In order to "celebrate" their "surrender", Jing Yan even held a grand "return dinner" for them, during which the guests (life) and the host (death) were all happy (more).
In the middle of the night, everyone was "drunk" and fell down one after another.
Not long after, "Yizhu" woke up and saw a piece inside and out, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Hurriedly woke up a few minions around him, quietly exited the tent, and ran to the beach.
At this time, the small harbor of the island was full of large and small treasure ships, and there was no edge in sight.
On the sand stall, the people lying on the ground were lying crookedly, all of them drunk. Even if a few of them fell asleep, they held on to the jar of wine and did not let go.
This group of minions was suddenly happy, and "Yizhu" took out a round cylinder from his arms, pulled out the lid and lit it, only to hear a "boom", and a little red light rushed up to the sky and exploded with a "bang".
