Chapter 17: Out to Sea
Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin handwashing conference ended like this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cao Xu remembered that Liu Zhengfeng wanted to fly away and retire overseas in the original book, so he immediately found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, drew a sea chart, dried the ink, and walked to Liu Zhengfeng's study with the sea chart.
"Is Liu Sanye here?" Cao Xu asked all the way to Liu Zhengfeng's study.
"Lin Gongzi, please come in. Liu Zhengfeng opened the door and invited Cao Xu in.
When I entered the study, I saw a dry, thin old man in a gray shirt carrying a huqin.
"I've seen Mr. Moda. Cao Xu said.
Mo Da nodded and did not speak.
Cao Xu put the chart in his hand on the table and spread it out, only to see that Fuzhou, Penghu, Ryukyu and other place names were marked on it, and said: "This is my gift to the third master, after today, the third master may not be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains." Since you want to withdraw from the rivers and lakes, let's retreat farther. ”
Liu Zhengfeng said: "No, I have this intention, thank you Gongzi Lin." ”
"My father was also a little disheartened because of what happened before, and he intended to retire, maybe in the future, the two of us can sail overseas together. Cao Xu said with a smile.
"If that's the case, that's great. Liu Zhengfeng said.
"Senior Brother Liu, you have really decided. Mr. Mo Da on the side asked.
"Senior Brother Mo, I have made up my mind. Don't persuade me anymore, if I stay in the Central Plains for a day, the Hengshan faction will not be at peace for a day. Liu Zhengfeng said.
"Alas. Mo Da sighed lightly and staggered away.
"I'm from the Hengshan faction, and I have no successor. Liu Zhengfeng sighed with emotion.
This time, Liu Zhengfeng violated the unspoken rule of "the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes" and directly flipped the table, which made countless people tremble. The fame accumulated over the years instantly avalancheed, and it also had a bad impact on the reputation of the Hengshan faction. What if you don't go overseas?
But then again, since he has washed his hands and withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, what do the rules of the rivers and lakes have to do with Liu Zhengfeng.
Originally, Cao Xu planned to let Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Wang go to the Luoyang royal family, and after obtaining the support of the Luoyang royal family, they would clean up the mess of the Fuwei Dart Bureau and revive the ancestral industry.
But when he thought that Liu Zhengfeng was about to sail overseas, he suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity, and entrusting his parents to a true gentleman like Liu Zhengfeng was far more reassuring than sending the two of them to the wolf's den in Luoyang's royal family.
Life overseas is definitely not much better, but it is better to live a good life, if you can add Ding Ding to the Lao Lin family, it will be great.
Yang Fan's going to sea is not a matter of saying go. Liu Zhengfeng wanted to pick up the family business, and Lin Zhennan also began to deal with the mess of the Fuwei Dart Bureau.
The Qingcheng faction picked all the ten provincial branches of the Fuwei Dart Bureau in one go, killed countless people, and set fire to the Nanchang Branch. People died for the Lao Lin family, and the parents, wives and children left by the dart masters and executioners, the Fuwei Dart Bureau always had to take responsibility.
First clean up the Changsha branch of Hunan Province, and then clean up the Wuchang branch of Hubei Province. The right-hand men under his hands were all killed by the Qingcheng faction, Lin Zhennan could only go into battle shirtless, if it wasn't for Liu Zhengfeng sending Liu Fu disciples to help, I am afraid he would have to be busy until the Year of the Monkey.
Thinking of his unfilial son, Lin Zhennan was angry, when did the family become "the son moved his mouth, and Lao Tzu broke his leg." "Now, this father and son are often gone.
The little nun Yilin and the eldest disciple of the Huashan faction, Ling Hu Chong, returned to the Liu Mansion one after another, and the people from the Hengshan faction and the Huashan faction left the Liu Mansion and returned to the sect.
Most of the people from the rivers and lakes who gathered left the city, and the residents of Hengshan City were relieved while being reluctant. is reluctant because these people in the rivers and lakes are generous and can make money from them.
The ease is because these people in the rivers and lakes have hot tempers, disagree, and fight and make trouble, which is commonplace, which really makes people feel frightened every day. This day is not to seek to be rich and rich, it is better to live in peace.
These days, Cao Xu accompanies his mother every day, nourishing the body with the true qi of yin fire, and assisting his mother in her cultivation. Then go down the river to deal with the mess of the Nanchang branch in Jiangxi Province.
The Nanchang branch was burned by the Qingcheng faction, and when Cao Xu passed by, he was slightly appeased. In addition to dealing with the family problems of the dart master and the executioner, it is also necessary to take responsibility for the neighbors who were burned down by the fire.
In addition, the losses of each customer of Fuwei Dart Board, as well as the negative impact caused by it, need to be compensated as much as possible.
It's a mess. Fortunately, Lin Zhennan has outstanding ability, the disciples of the Liu Mansion are shrewd and capable, the Fuwei Dart Bureau has a strong enough background, and most of the lost property is from the Qingcheng faction, so he can barely cope with it.
went all the way south and returned to Fuzhou again, it had been more than three months since Lin Zhennan and his wife were kidnapped by the Qingcheng faction.
After returning to the Fuwei Dart Bureau, Lin Zhennan, who had been suppressing his feelings, cried loudly, tears like rain.
Lin Zhennan personally sat in the General Bureau of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, recalled many retired old people to help, and Mrs. Wang wrote to ask her mother's family to help deal with the affairs of the northern provinces, plus the Hengshan faction helped with all their might, but even so, if you want to settle all the things of the ten provincial branches, it is impossible to do it in one hand.
Half a month later, after Liu Zhengfeng arrived with his family and the disciples of Liu Sect who were willing to follow him to the sea, Cao Xu was finally freed from his post as a security guard.
Setting sail is not an easy task. The ocean is different from the land. If something goes wrong, you can call it a failure every day, and a sea and a sea should not work.
Because of the "sea ban" policy of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to buy a ship suitable for going to sea. After having a ship, you have to have sailors, and after you have sailors, where do you go to find a qualified captain, and how to find out the route to the Ryukyus?
Lin Zhennan dredged up and down the relationship, bought a big ship suitable for going to sea, recruited sailors, looked for a captain, etc., even the birthday of his brother-in-law in early June was left behind. If it weren't for Mrs. Wang's reminder, it would have been a big faux pas.
Of course, Cao Xu didn't need to worry about these things, in addition to going out to practice swords every day, he was thinking about when to leave for Kunlun Mountain to find "Jiuyang Divine Skill".
But now he is the top force of the Fuwei dart game, if anything happens to the dart game after leaving, it will be beyond the reach of the whip for a while, then it will be more than worth the loss.
Under the moonlight, in the back garden, Cao Xu walked. Although it is already July, the "Autumn Tiger" is in full swing, and the weather is even hotter than in summer.
The full moon in the sky was like a silver plate, slowly turning, shining with clear light, but it never brought half of the coolness. The Yin Fire True Qi jumped in the dantian, bringing a wave of restlessness, but it couldn't get rid of it.
Cao Xu suddenly turned around and looked at the entrance of the garden.
Liu Jing, dressed in pink, was standing there. Cao Xu and Liu Jing have not met many times, but they still have some impressions of this girl.
"Miss Liu, haven't slept yet?" was slightly stunned, Cao Xu said.
"Well, Lin Gongzi didn't sleep either?" Liu Jingzhen lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were flushed, like rouge, and her voice trembled slightly, and she didn't know what she was saying.
Cao Xu looked at her, under the hazy moonlight, he felt more and more that she was delicate and moving, her lips were tender and red, exuding an attractive luster, as if she had been freshly washed cherries, and he almost couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Fortunately, his spirit is strong and his concentration is super strong, so he tries to restrain himself, but he doesn't dare to watch it unscrupulously.
Turning his head, Cao Xu thought about it, looked at the sky, and said, "It's not early, Miss Liu should go to bed early." ”
When eating the next morning, Mrs. Wang kept looking at Cao Xu with a smile, and Cao Xu looked at the bottom of her heart, and couldn't help but say: "Mother, if there is anything, you can say it directly, and if you can do it, your son will never refuse." ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she didn't speak, but that smile made Cao Xu feel very uneasy.
Lin Zhennan coughed lightly and said, "Ping'er, you secretly met with Miss Liu in the back garden last night. ”
What does it mean to meet secretly, you just say that the two of us have a tryst. Cao Xu rolled his eyes when he heard this.
finally understood that after Yue Lingshan, her mother shifted the target to Liu Zhengfeng's eldest daughter Liu Jing. Otherwise, if you go for a walk in the garden at night, you will run into Liu Jing so coincidentally. It's all clearly arranged.
"Mother....... Cao Xu shouted helplessly.
