The Bandit’s Strategy - Chapter 178

【Chapter 178-A Big Black Ship】Since there is going to be a war, that faculty member can’t leave first

After the fifteenth of the first lunar month, the Wen parents returned to the south of the Yangtze River, while Zhou Mubai followed the caravan and sailed out to sea, saying that he would meet a few friends. The house was quiet again, and the dark guards were feeling emotional, and they didn’t know where Lord Shangbo and the others had gone, but they hadn’t come back for so long.

In the vast East China Sea, a huge merchant ship is breaking through the waves. Shang Yunze shook his cloak to wrap up the person: “Go back to sleep for a while?”

“Not sleepy.” Mu Qingshan shook his head and refused.

“It’s nothing more than going out to the sea, how can I be so excited.” Shang Yunze couldn’t laugh or cry. “Wake up before dawn. You have to go to sleep until midnight, and you are not sleepy during the day.”

“I haven’t taken a boat before.” Mu Qingshan’s eyes sparkled, “I never thought about going out to sea.”

“Then sit for more than ten days, it should be enough.” Shang Yunze put his arms around his shoulders, “Hey, come back to the cabin with me, there will be wind later.”

“Don’t go back!” Mu Qingshan protested.

“I will kiss you if I don’t go back.” Shang Yunze threatened.

Mu Qingshan kicked him without being frightened at all.

Shang Yunze took a deep breath, just about to forcefully hold the person back, but there was a melodious singing in his ear.

“Huh?” Mu Qingshan felt a little strange, “Did you hear anything?”

“Yeah.” Shang Yunze nodded.

“That’s not what I heard wrong.” Mu Qingshan looked around, “But it’s all the sea, how can there be singing?”

“Maybe… the people in the sea are singing?” Shang Yunze raised his eyebrows.

“Anyone?” Mu Qingshan was surprised.

“I guessed it.” Shang Yunze gently covered his mouth, and listened for a while, “It’s gone now.”

“But we all heard it just now.” Mu Qingshan looked down the boat, “I don’t know if it will swim over.”

“Two guests.” The owner followed the voice to find, “Go back to the cabin, it’s not too peaceful in front, it’s better not to show up.”

“Why is it not peaceful?” Mu Qingshan frowned.

“This prince doesn’t know, right? The front is Bel-Air, the East China Sea is famous for its military formation.” The shipowner said, “There is evil in it.”

“What kind of evildoer?” Mu Qingshan asked again.

“I don’t know, if I see you, where can I live.” The owner waved his hand again and again, “The guests will get in the cabin quickly, and it will be fine if you bypass this area.”

“Thanks for reminding.” Shang Yunze pulled Mu Qingshan, and the two of them pulled back to their residence together.

“Why don’t you watch it for a while?” Mu Qingshan was puzzled, “maybe you can really see the shark.”

“The mackerel is not a flying fish, you can see it casually, besides, there is a lot of fog near Bel-Air, I can’t make you dangerous.” Shang Yunze helped him pour a glass of water, “I will be on Haicai Island tomorrow night. After seeing Aunt Zihua, it’s not too late to ask her any questions.”

“Yeah.” Mu Qingshan thought for a while, then asked, “Will Aunt Zihua be fierce?”

“A little bit.” Shang Yunze sat on the side of the bed holding him, “but that’s an outsider, you are your own family.”

“But she wanted to marry your niece before.” Mu Qingshan reminded.

Shang Yunze was funny: “I just mentioned something accidentally, you remember it clearly.”

Mu Qingshan kicked him, just remember!

“It’s just thinking. I don’t want to. The girl from someone else’s family can’t get married. I’m not the one.” Shang Yunze hit his forehead, “How about doing something bad?”

“Don’t do it.” Mu Qingshan squeezed his mouth fiercely.

“Duplicity.” Shang Yunze rolled over and pressed the person on the bed, bowed his head and kissed him.

Xiao Mu turned his face to one side.

Well, then only do it once.

The night was extremely calm, and the fleet smoothly bypassed the Bel-Air Bay and sent people to Haicai Island in the evening of the next day.

“Master Shangbo?” A familiar voice came from his ear.

“How come Brother Zhou is here?” After seeing Zhou Mubai, Shang Yunze and Mu Qingshan were also a little surprised.

“This is a coincidence.” Zhou Mubai smiled, “I just heard Aunt Zihua say that Lord Shangbao will come yesterday. I didn’t expect to see someone today. I want to come and be here for the same thing.”

“Beisha Bay?” Mu Qingshan guessed.

Zhou Mubai nodded: “Go and see Aunt Zihua first. She cleaned up a quiet courtyard with her own hands early in the morning. Why can’t it be more than a dozen times after talking about it.”

Compared with Rakura Island, Sea Vegetable Island is much larger and can almost catch up with a large town inland. The owner of the island is the Zihua mother-in-law. It is rumored that she originally came from a martial arts family in the Central Plains. Later, she escaped from the sea because she did not want to be accused by her father and brother of marriage. Later, he helped the people develop fishery, which is quite legendary.

“This is the most prosperous island in the East China Sea.” Shang Yunze said to Mu Qingshan as he walked, “I will take you around after you settle down. It’s not worse than inland.”

“It smells so good.” There were people selling grilled fish on the side of the road, and there were baskets of sweet and sour wild fruits. Mu Qingshan was almost dizzy. “The adults will definitely like it very much.”

“It’s not only adults who like it, but pirates also like it. Previously, he led his troops to rob, burned, looted and looted the people and suffered greatly, but the court has been reluctant to send soldiers to rescue him.” Shang Yunze said, “It was still Zihua in the end. Auntie couldn’t bear it. She led the fishermen to capture the enemy leader and hung the corpse on a pole for three days before finally gaining peace on one side.”

Mu Qingshan was surprised: “It’s so amazing.”

“That’s natural. How can a group of pirates who are accustomed to bullying and fearing hard work can be compared to the young ladies of the Central Plains Martial Arts Family.” Shang Yunze whispered, “still a stubborn eldest lady.” Even when she is older now, she was a girl. The temperament has not changed. When I saw myself in the martial arts conference, I said I would take home to my niece for a blind date. I was not happy when I was rejected.

Mu Qingshan hadn’t seen a few Central Plains martial arts eldest ladies, so he headed for Huatang who was wearing purple clothes, and his hair was grayer, thinking that it should be almost the same. Unexpectedly, after the meeting, she turned out to be a kind-eyed aunt, smiling, and talking nicely, there was no way to be savage.

“You’re a little wood, you look really white.” Aunt Zihua pulled him back and forth, obviously like it very much.

“Auntie.” Mu Qingshan said hello with a smile.

“I was still telling Mingchuan the other day that I would go out and relax after the Chinese New Year.” Aunt Zihua ordered her servant to make tea, “I didn’t expect you to come to my place one or two. Nothing goes to the Three Treasures Hall.”

“Cough.” Zhou Mubai touched his nose, “Who said that, I just want to visit my aunt, and I have no other intentions.”

“You just have this mouth.” Aunt Zihua shook her head, “I’m swaying outside all day long, and I don’t know what it’s like to get married and start a business soon.”

Zhou Mubai calmly drank tea.

“I can’t believe these two people.” Aunt Zihua patted Mu Qingshan’s hand.

“Yeah.” Mu Qingshan nodded obediently.

Shang Yunze’s eyes widened, so he agreed?

“Let’s go, what is it for?” Aunt Zihua peeled walnuts for Mu Qingshan.

“Beishawan.” Shang Yunze and Zhou Mubai said in unison.

“Beishawan?” Aunt Zihua frowned, “Why do you ask about this.”

“I heard that there is a military formation?” Shang Yunze said.

“Yes, but it’s not a recent thing. The big guy has long been used to it, and the boat will go around.” Aunt Zihua said, “I haven’t heard anything wrong, why both of you suddenly came to ask. ?”

“It is said that there are shark people there.” Zhou Mubai said.

“Nonsense, there are no sharks in this world.” Aunt Zihua didn’t believe it. “Mingchuan also said that he had met sharks when he was a child. Later, when several uncles worked together to fish, it was just a weird big fish.”

“But when we were passing by on a boat, we heard singing.” Mu Qingshan emphasized.

“That’s a big yellow croaker.” Aunt Zihua said, “It’s not a mackerel sea monster.”

“Has Auntie been in Bel-Air?” Shang Yunze asked again.

“No, I have nothing to do, so why take risks.” Aunt Zihua said, “It’s covered with mist, it’s too late to walk around, do you want to go in?”

Shang Yunze nodded: “I want to go in and take a look.”

“That won’t work, it’s dangerous.” Aunt Zihua shook her head, “The sea is no better than the land, so don’t move rashly.”

“For so many years, my aunt really hasn’t heard the rumors about the Beishawan sharks?” Zhou Mubai asked again, “not at all?”

“I’m not too confused, I can’t remember this.” Aunt Zihua complained.

Really nothing… Zhou Mubai sighed.

“Why, I became impatient when I couldn’t ask anything?” Aunt Zihua was dissatisfied.

“How come.” Zhou Mubai quickly smiled with a spring breeze, “Even if you didn’t ask anything, it’s fine to visit my aunt, right, brother Shang.”

“Nature.” Shang Yunze nodded.

“The scenery on the island is very good.” Mu Qingshan also said, “The grilled fish is also delicious.”

“What are those small vendors on the street? Auntie will bake it for you in time.” Aunt Zihua took his hand, “Go, I’ll take you around this island first.”

“Good.” Mu Qingshan was very happy.

Seeing them go out, Zhou Mubai sighed: “Sure enough, mother-in-law and aunt like gentle scholars.”

“It’s just right, you and I go out for a drink.” Shang Yunze said, “I heard that the flowers on this island are good.”

“So greedy, is it possible that Brother Shang has been taken care of all the way?” Zhou Mubai quipped.

Shang Yunze patted him on the shoulder, everything is said without saying.

It coincided with the market on Haicai Island, and there was noisy people everywhere. Although it was the first month, it was not cold. Mu Qingshan saw nothing but fish cakes. Finally, I bought a fish cake and dipped it with salt and ate it slowly. My mouth was covered with white powder.

“This little body is skinny.” Aunt Zihua squeezed his arm, “Can’t you eat like a cat? Are you not used to this stuff from the East China Sea?”

“No, it’s delicious.” Mu Qingshan put the rest of the fish cakes into his mouth, “I eat less.”

“Eat more to please people.” Aunt Zihua taught.

Mu Qingshan squinted and smiled, “Well, my lord is.”

“Is that Master Wen? I have also heard a lot of rumors, and it is much better than Chu Heng.” Aunt Zihua said, “Like a good official.”

“The grown-ups are honest officials, smart, they can speak well, and they eat a lot.” Mu Qingshan was serious, “the people like him.”

Aunt Zihua was amused and laughed: “It turns out that Yunze likes you like this, no wonder he refused to marry Yinger.”

Mu Qingshan was a little embarrassed.

After eating a lot of small snacks, remembering that there was a campfire on the beach, Aunt Zihua took him over to watch the fun. It was already dark when he arrived. The young man was setting up a pyre, the fisherman’s song was melodious, and everyone was laughing.

“Can you dance?” Aunt Zihua asked him.

“Huh?” Mu Qingshan shook his head quickly, “No way.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of fishermen pulled him over, sang around the bonfire hand in hand, and toasted a bowl of wine before putting the man back.

“Dizzy.” Mu Qingshan didn’t have much alcohol.

Aunt Zihua smiled and shook her head, but she was really a little scholar.

After staying at the bonfire for a while, Zhou Mubai and Shang Yunze also found him. After seeing their drowsy little log, Shang Yunze had a headache and helplessly: “Auntie.”

“A bowl of brewed rice wine will be good if you sleep overnight.” Aunt Zihua returned the person back, “I’ll go to Dongtou and have a look. You can go back and rest earlier.”

“Hmm.” Mu Qingshan lay in Shang Yunze’s arms.

Zhou Mubai disappeared, and the master of Shangbao patted the little nerd in his arms: “Will you go home?”

“Back.” Mu Qingshan asked.

Shang Yunze smiled and shook his head. Just about to pick him up, a wave hit the beach, as if something was rolling up.

“Where are you going?” Mu Qingshan was puzzled.

“Go and see what it is.” Shang Yunze led him by.

Mu Qingshan obediently followed, and before he could get closer, Shang Yunze suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.

“Huh?” Mu Qingshan was puzzled.

Shang Yunze sighed: “Be good, don’t look.”

Aunt Zihua also brought people over when she heard the news. The black shadow was the corpse of a young man, who seemed to be about twelve or thirteen years old.

“Poor…” Aunt Zihua shook her head and ordered people to get a white cloth, ready to find a place to bury. In order to make a living, there are many boys in Donghai who went to sea with their uncle when they were young.

“Wait!” Zhou Mubai seemed to feel that something was wrong. After taking the torch and taking a closer look, he saw that the boy’s ankles were firmly tied together with a rope. It was obvious that someone was deliberately injuring him.

“Asshole thing!” Aunt Zihua was extremely angry.

“Auntie!” someone exclaimed in the distance, “There is another one here!”

Mu Qingshan frowned and glanced at Shang Yunze.

This……

Young and middle-aged people by the sea lit up a torch to search overnight. At dawn, there were already four corpses on the seashore, all boys in their early tens, with their ankles **** by ropes without exception. It should be where it fell into the sea, and then was rolled onto the beach with the waves.

“Who can be so vicious?” Mu Qingshan asked, not even letting go of such a small child.

“I can’t see anything.” Zhou Mubai said after checking, “There are a lot of scars on his body, but there are no other marks.”

“The method is so vicious. If you let it go, I don’t know how many people will suffer.” Aunt Zihua shook her head.

Haicai Island is the only way for trade by sea, so many merchant ships berth every day. Aunt Zihua is also straightforward and has a good relationship with many ship owners. It is not difficult to inquire about the news.

“Sure it’s a **** ship?”

“Yes.” The owner of the Blessed Fleet said, “The other day we robbed the channel and almost fought. At that time, we saw seven or eight boys on the deck, and they were children from poor families going south to ask for a living.”

“Where did you go?” Aunt Zihua asked.

“That’s not a question, but looking at the posture, I have to go to the south.” The ship owner said, “Isn’t there some food on this Haihua Island?”

“No.” Aunt Zihua shook her head, “Mingchuan went to check the registration book. There has never been such a ship.”

“That’s weird.” The owner was also a little confused. “After passing Haihua Island, it will take a while to get to the next big island. What do you want to eat if you don’t get some dry food?”

Then there is only one possibility. Zhou Mubai and Shang Yunze looked at each other, and the next voyage was very short, so short that no supplies were needed to reach the destination.

Bel-Air.

“Why is this ghost place again.” Granny Zihua shook her head.

“Just said it’s not peaceful inside.” Shang Yunze opened the map.

“Then what should I do now, take someone into it?” asked Granny Zihua.

“I am afraid that the government should do this.” Shang Yunze said, “For ordinary fishermen, it is too dangerous to break into the fog.”

“Chu Heng?” Granny Zihua disdain, “but no one pointed out that he could send troops to Beishawan.”

“It’s not Chu Heng.” Mu Qingshan said, “It’s Master Wen.”

The sun was warm and warm, and Wen Liunian stretched his waist in Da Kun City, sluggish in spring.

“My lord!” The dark guard ran in, “Leader and the others are back.”

Wen Liunian suddenly came to his spirits, but he was back.

The dark guard added: “I also brought a lot of Jiangnan to eat.”

“Very good, very good.” Master Wen greeted him warmly.

Get a snack and eat it.

“During our absence, did the surnames bully the adults?” Ye Jin asked as soon as they met.

“Naturally not.” Wen Liunian puzzled, “Why does the Gu Master ask?”

“It’s fine if you don’t have it.” Ye Jin finally felt relieved, “I gave his birthdate to my mother during the New Year, and I found three masters and said that this person is a wicked|devil, so stay away.”

Shen Qianfeng helped his forehead, you follow the side with a pretentious posture of cannibalism, who would dare to say good things.

“Master can count this?” Wen Liunian was frightened.

“Naturally.” Ye Jin nodded.

“But why did the Valley Lord run to count Duan Wang’s birthday eight characters?” Wen Liunian still couldn’t understand.

Ye Jin bitterly said: “Because he is too nasty|little!” He looks very, very nice, and looks like the one who takes off his pants when he walks on the street!

Wen Liunian was stunned.

“Okay, okay, go back and rest.” Shen Qianfeng couldn’t laugh or cry, and forcibly took the person back to the room.

“Why do you have to go to the royal driver? Can’t you just let Qianfan come? Otherwise, General Wang will do!” Ye Jin still didn’t understand, and finally stood up to pack his baggage, “Otherwise, I’ll go to Wangcheng to persuade.”

“Be obedient.” Shen Qianfeng was helpless and funny, holding the person in his arms, “The emperor will come as soon as he wants. With so many of us, I am afraid that he will be injured.”

“What do you know!” Ye Jin akimbo.

“If you don’t tell me, I naturally don’t understand.” Shen Qianfeng said, “You seem to really want to let the emperor meet the southwest king?”

Ye Jin nodded vigorously.

“Why?” Shen Qianfeng said, “When the emperor met Qijue King, you didn’t say anything.”

“How can Qijue King compare with Southwest King!” Ye Jin protested.

“They are all border kings, why can’t they be compared?” Shen Qianfeng continued to ask patiently.

Ye Jin and him looked at each other, feeling too complicated to describe. What should I say.

“Xiaojin?” Shen Qianfeng shook his hand in front of him, “Why don’t you speak.”

“I’ll tell you something.” Ye Jin said slowly.

“Yeah.” Shen Qianfeng nodded.

“Don’t tell anyone.”

“good.”

“Otherwise I will give you up!” Ye Jin was fierce.

Shen Qianfeng is very cooperative: “Yeah.”

“I want to castrate Duan Baiyue!” Ye Jin clenched a fist.

Shen Qianfeng helplessly: “That’s it?”

Ye Jin leaned in his ear and said a word in a low voice.

Shen Qianfeng frowned suddenly: “Are you sure?”

“Of course!” Ye Jin bit her lower lip angrily.

“This…” Shen Qianfeng was also a little frightened, “The emperor and the king of Southwest?”

Ye Jin continued to nod.

Shen Qianfeng: “…”

Ye Jin banged against his chest.

I’d rather die.

Shen Qianfeng soothed and patted him on the back, but he couldn’t hide his worry between his brows.

At the beginning, because of the identity of a son of Shen’s parents, he had to spend a lot of hard work to stay with him, not to mention being the son of the emperor.

No wonder the Southwestern King is willing to devote all his efforts to the nation, and in the name of rebelliousness, he will also occupy the East China Sea and guard Chu Heng. Previously, he thought it was a secret agreement with the emperor, but he did not expect that it would be because of this reason.

I’m afraid the road ahead is not easy…

On the official road, the emissary sent by Chu Yuan was galloping on horseback, sending the letter with private seal lacquer to Duan Baiyue as scheduled.

Ten days later, a huge thunderbolt exploded in the East China Sea, and the King of the Southwest came up!

“There’s a war.” Wen Liunian’s face paled.

“If I remember correctly, the emperor sent him to negotiate peace with Duan Baiyue!” Chu Cheng gritted his teeth.

“But it’s not the official’s fault that I didn’t talk about it.” Wen Liunian’s tone was full of grief and anger, “I really did my best!”

“How do you think the little prince?” Chu Heng asked.

“Me?” Ye Jin said, “Now that the war has started abruptly, it is natural to face the battle, can it be avoided.”

“I don’t know the leader Shen—”

“Qian Feng is the leader of the martial arts, not the general of the East China Sea.” Ye Jin coldly interrupted him, “The prince will hide away.”

This sentence obviously has a heavy weight. If you change to someone else, I’m afraid Chu Heng can’t bear it, but the opponent is Ye Jin, so he has to knock off his teeth and swallow in his belly.

“Is this officer going back to Wangcheng?” Wen Liunian asked cautiously next to him.

Chu Cheng: “…”

“It won’t help to stay.” Wen Liunian was extremely sincere. “At the most, I wrote a poem for my Da Chu soldiers.”

Chu Cheng: “…”

“Qian Feng will protect adults.” Ye Jin said.

“That’s good.” Wen Liunian was obviously relieved.

Chu Cheng: “…”

Seeing everyone looking at him, Wen Liunian thought for a while, and then said: “Great Chu will win.”

Chu Cheng almost vomited blood, and in such a half-dead tone, it’s better to shut up quickly.
