The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air on the shore gradually faded, and there were people who had been killed and wounded in the fierce battle just now lying on the ground, one by one like fish blown onto the shore by a huge wave, including the doormen on the island, as well as Zheng He's officers and soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The smell of blood is blown by the sea breeze and occupies people's nostrils.

At this time, Ye Cheng hugged Zhong Qing who was snuggled in his arms tightly, looking at the scene in front of him, without the slightest joy of victory.

If you have experienced the war, you will not see the results of the war as a kind of enjoyment.

"Qing'er, does your injury matter, I'll go find some medicine from this village and put it on for you. Ye Cheng asked with concern.

Zhong Qing experienced such a tragic battle for the first time in her life, and the little girl's heart still had palpitations, and at this moment she raised her head and smiled at Ye Cheng, without saying anything.

"Young man don't have to worry, please come aboard with my lieutenant, and there will be a doctor to heal him. ”

Ye Cheng heard the voice and looked back, and saw that the person who spoke was Zheng He, who was slowly walking towards him.

"Thank you very much, Lord Zheng. Ye Cheng said with a smile.

Zheng He still had blood stains on his face at this time, so he immediately nodded at Ye Cheng, and then called two soldiers and ordered them to take Zhong Qing to the boat to heal his wounds.

"Brother Ye......" Zhong Qing didn't want to leave Ye Cheng at this moment, although the wound was still faintly painful.

"Qing'er, but it's okay to go, I'll come to you later. Ye Cheng comforted.

After Zhong Qing left, Zheng He arched his hand and said to Ye Cheng: "This young man, if you weren't here tonight, I'm afraid Zheng would have died on Chongming Island." ”

Ye Cheng also bowed his hand and said: "Why should Lord Zheng be too humble, Ye Cheng also came back for another matter at the beginning, and happened to hear that they were going to harm people again, so he came to help, it was just a coincidence." ”

"Your name is Ye Cheng?" Zheng He asked.

Ye Cheng nodded, and Zheng He didn't ask any further.

At this time, Ji Tianming, the adjutant who was in charge of the command on the ship just now, arrived close and bowed when he saw Zheng He turn around: "Lord Qiqi Chief Soldier, I have assigned soldiers to count and clean up the battlefield, and arranged two small teams of men and horses to search the island to see if there are any remaining sins." Fit ......."

Zheng He nodded and said to Ji Tianming: "General Ji has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, when did it become so sloppy?"

That Ji Tianming couldn't help but be terrified and said: "I heard the shouting and killing on the boat, but because I didn't know why, I didn't get the order, so I didn't dare to move lightly, and I almost caused an accident to the adult, and the lowly duty is really hard to blame, and the crime deserves death!"

Ye Cheng looked at Zheng He after hearing this, he wanted to see how this Lord Zheng would react.

At that moment, I saw Zheng He smiling slightly: "Lord Ji Tianming is too worried, when this is the case, I will reward you for meritorious deeds, not only will you not be punished, but I will reward you heavily." Because if it were me, without the commander's order, I would never leave my post without permission, and you did nothing wrong, how could I punish you?"

"It is worthy of being the chief soldier, and the imperial history of the imperial court Qin faction is really extraordinary. This deputy general was rewarded for not being the Savior's general, I'm afraid that Zheng He is the only one here today. Ye Cheng secretly praised in his heart.

After hearing this, Ji Tianming stood up as if he had been pardoned, gave another salute to Zheng He, and then nodded to Ye Cheng, turned around and retreated.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Zheng He is really a good soldier, even this deputy general is resolute and resolute, and he does not drag his feet." ”

At this time, the sky was like a pair of sleepy eyes that were slightly opened, and gradually became brighter. Ye Cheng looked at the busy figures of the officers and soldiers on the shore, and saw that Huo Ran, Hu Sanxiao and Hua Niang were all fine, and his mood was much more relaxed at the moment, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, yelled badly, and hurriedly ran to a place.

Zheng He was confused by Ye Cheng's shout, and followed Ye Cheng. But seeing Ye Cheng lifting up a person on the ground not far away, it was a woman.

"Miss Wei, how are you, can you hear me talking?" Ye Cheng asked with concern.

The woman lying in his arms was Wei Rou, the only daughter of the island owner "Xiao Mengwei" Wei Chong. She was accidentally injured by Wei Chong in the fierce battle just now, but fortunately her right shoulder was injured, although it was extremely painful, but it was not life-threatening. Rao is like this, how can she, a woman who is usually weak, withstand such pain, she is still very depressed at this time.

"Daddy...... Dad, where are you?" Wei Rou opened her eyes with difficulty in Ye Cheng's arms, and the first thing she said was to ask about Wei Chong's whereabouts.

Ye Cheng was reminded by Wei Rou at this time, so he remembered it, and hurriedly looked around, but he couldn't find Wei Chong's figure at all.

"Miss Wei, your father may have escaped..... Ye Cheng said softly.

Wei Rou only saw clearly that the blurred face in front of him was Ye Cheng at this time, and when he heard him say that his father had escaped and had not been caught by the officers and soldiers or died in the chaotic army, he couldn't help but nod his head and breathe a long sigh of relief, but suddenly he was involved in the wound, and he couldn't help coughing continuously.

At this time, Ye Cheng saw Zheng He standing beside him, so he slowly put down Wei Rou, got up and said to Zheng He: "Lord Zheng, some things have not been explained to you, that Wei Chong, as the owner of the island, colluded with some scum in the rivers and lakes to kidnap children and sell an island owner named Chen Zuyi. I turned back to look for the children, but unfortunately I heard that they had been transported off the island. ”

Zheng He was also very surprised when he heard this: "If it weren't for Ye Shaoxia to talk about it, Zheng really had no way of knowing, I didn't expect that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone would do such a despicable thing, I think that Wei Chong should not have fled far, I will send more officers and soldiers to search this island, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will capture him." ”

Before Ye Cheng could speak, he saw a person walking beside him, and Ye Cheng saw that it was General Huo Ran, the life-saving benefactor of his mother and son back then.

When Zheng He saw Huo Ran's appearance, he couldn't help but be very surprised, because he had never seen someone so ugly and seriously injured in his life.

"Ye Gongzi, Huo Ran heard your conversation with this Master Zheng, and I have a reluctant request, and I hope that Gongzi will understand. Huo Ran said.

Ye Cheng hurriedly saluted: "What did General Huo say, if it weren't for General Huo's rescue back then, my mother and son would have died a long time ago, so why talk about today." General Huo has been taught, and he should do his best when he is decided. ”

Huo Ran nodded and said slowly: "I said on the boat that when I escaped from the palace, no one was willing to take me in with my appearance. It wasn't until I came to Chongming Island that Wei Chong gave me a place to live, although he was just reluctant to do so for his 'Xiao Meng Taste' reputation, but I don't want to forget my roots. ”

"General Huo wants me to let Wei Chong go?" Ye Cheng asked.

Huo Ran nodded, his eyes looking directly at Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng looked at Huo Ran, and then at Wei Rou, who was lying on the ground at the moment, and couldn't help but sigh, and said to Zheng He: "Lord Zheng, for my sake, let's let this Wei Chong go first." If he commits it again, not only I, Ye Cheng, but also the people in the rivers and lakes will never spare him. In fact, if it weren't for his daughter Miss Wei's help this time, it would be difficult for me to know that there is such a shocking secret hidden on this island, please ask Lord Zheng to heal this girl first, and let's think about the follow-up in the long run, okay?"

Zheng He didn't want to let Wei Chong go, but firstly, Ye Cheng was indeed kind to himself, and secondly, Wei Chong had been on the run for a long time, and even if he looked for it, he might not be able to find it, and Chongming Island was basically under his control, so there was no need to look for a fugitive person, so fortunately he agreed to Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng was very happy and looked at Huo Ran, Huo Ran nodded and stopped talking.

"Ye Shaoxia, and this strong man, I see that after this battle, you are also injured, why don't you go to the ship and let the imperial doctor take a look?"

Ye Cheng had something else on his mind and said: "Lord Zheng, this matter of Chongming Island is over, but those captive children have still not been rescued, as far as I know, this Chen Zuyi was born as a pirate, sitting on the ground as the king of Sanfo Island, and often invading the coastal people of the Central Plains, this thief is not removed, it is a disaster after all." ”

Zheng He smiled when he heard this: "Zheng Mou led the fleet south this time, it is to inspect the Western Islands, in order to declare my Ming Emperor's prestige, eradicate the barbarian banditry, these three Buddha Islands are the place that must be passed, if the young man does not dislike it, why not go with me, let's ride the wind and waves, go freely, wouldn't it be very good?"

This is exactly what Ye Cheng wants, he is very worried about the safety of those children, if he can go to Sanfo Island with Zheng He's fleet, it will be the best. Ye Cheng immediately thanked him, no problem.

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly reached the ears of the three people: "Ye Cheng, do you kid want to talk and go to some Sanfo Island to hide Qingjing?"

When Ye Cheng heard this voice, he didn't need to look at it to know that it was Hu Sanxiao.

But seeing Hu Sanxiao with Hua Niang, he was standing there glaring at himself, and he obviously heard what he said just now.

"What Brother Hu said, what I Ye Cheng promised, how can I easily regret it, and when Qing'er and Miss Wei Rou are well injured, I will take you to find the Holy Hand Divine Doctor Dai Sigong. Ye Cheng replied.

Hu San snorted with a smile: "Anyway, you kid is very slippery, from now on I will watch you, don't think about slipping away." ”

Ye Cheng smiled helplessly and nodded, thinking about Zhong Qing in his heart, said goodbye to Zheng He and Huo Ran, turned around and got on the boat.

When Shi Cai came to the ship to send the tiger talisman in a fierce battle, because he was in a hurry and nervous, he never saw it really, but now he had time to take a closer look at the warship connected by iron cables, towering like a hill and floating on the waves, Ye Cheng was secretly surprised, thinking that such a huge ship was really ingenious and magnificent, if it was not for his own eyes, it was really unbelievable.

Ye Cheng immediately asked the soldier about Ming Zhongqing's ship, and then boarded the deck. But seeing that the cabin in front of him was also extremely elegant, he immediately picked up the bead curtain and entered, only to see a person lying on the bed and clothes in the veil of the inner room, it was Zhong Qing.
