Qining was shocked by Beigong Liancheng's childhood experiences, and he also understood why Beigong Liancheng and the Qi family were far apart.
Beigong Liancheng has no sense of belonging to the Jinyi Qi family. Now the Jinyi Qi family recognizes Beigong Liancheng as the second old master of the Qi family. This means that the Jinyi Qi family has recognized Beigong Liancheng later. As long as Beigong Liancheng is willing, he can Access the Qi family’s family tree at any time.
One person is connected to one country. Although not everyone is aware of Beigong Liancheng's ability, the old marquis of Jinyi and even the emperor of Chu certainly know that when one reaches the level of a great master, not to mention returning to the ancestral family, even if one has to submit to the emperor Whatever conditions were proposed, the emperor would definitely agree to them.
But now the Sword God still takes Beigong as his surname. This is of course not because the Qi family does not allow him to change his surname, but because Beigong Liancheng has never thought about having anything to do with the Qi family.
He thought that when he was in Dong Qi, Beigong Liancheng suddenly appeared and facilitated his marriage with Chi Danmei. At that time, he only thought that Beigong Liancheng was helping him out of the siege because of family ties. After all, except for Beigong Liancheng, there were no other people in the world at that time. Not many people can deal with Mo Lancang, the master of Baiyun Island.
But if Beigong Liancheng had no feelings for the Jinyi Qi family, why would he help him out
After all, everything he encountered in his childhood made Beigong Liancheng feel the ruthlessness and indifference of the Jinyi Qi family, and his mother suffered endless pain in the Jinyi Qi family before passing away. Logically speaking, Beigong Liancheng not only has no regard for the Jinyi Qi family, There is a good impression, and even resentment. Naturally, it is impossible to be the eldest grandson of the gang leader Jinyi Qi's family.
"It seems that you really don't know these things." Seeing Qining's unresponsiveness, King Mu Ye said with a smile on his lips: "That's right, naturally, the less people know about such embarrassing things, the better. And the so-called sword God is just a bastard with a humble background, and his mother is not only a prostitute, but also a lunatic. If word spreads, it will always bring shame to Beigong City, hahaha...!"
Qi Ning saw the excitement on King Muye's face and sighed in his heart. King Muye was unable to take revenge on Beigong Liancheng because of his martial arts skills. Now that he revealed Beigong Liancheng's humble origins, he seemed to get great pleasure.
"Senior Mu, please take care of yourself." Qining originally had a hint of sympathy for King Mu Ye, but this old guy was stubborn and still full of hostility. The sympathy in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Zhu Shuo sent someone to register the names of everyone on the island, and then ordered these people to carry supplies onto the ship. There were too many supplies stored on the island, and everyone moved them all night, but only a small part was moved. Until dark the next day, this The supplies on the island were just moved onto the ship. Fortunately, although the warships dispatched this time were not the main warships of the Donghai Navy, they were numerous and the space on the ship was large enough. By the time everything was ready, it was already midnight.
Qi Ning knew that everyone was also tired, so he ordered everyone to take a rest. Before dawn, he arranged for the people on the island to board the boat. Zhu Shuo led the officers and soldiers to ambush on the island according to the original plan. Gu Haiqing led the pirates to assist Zhu Shuo. Shuo lurked on the island and waited for Jiang Yishui to fall into his trap. There was already enough food and water on the island, so those who stayed behind did not have to worry about supplies.
When Qi Ning and Xin Ci made the plan, the navy fleet pursued the Jiang family's caravan south for three days. After three days, they returned. Both of them had made estimates. If nothing unexpected happened, the first-class navy's fleet would After the pursuit fleet retreats, Jiang Yishui will probably turn around and return to join Jiang Mantian after a little exploration. According to time calculation, as long as the people ambushing on the island persist for five or six days, they should be able to wait for Jiang Yishui's fleet to appear.
When the first ray of dawn appeared from the horizon, the fleet had already left Haifeng Island.
This operation can be said to be a complete victory. Not only did the Jiang family's influence at sea be wiped out, but the casualties of the officers and soldiers were very few. Naturally, a separate roster was created for the officers and soldiers who died in the battle, and they would be compensated afterwards.
They set off early in the morning and returned to the naval dock at midnight. The officers and soldiers first detained the people brought back from Tiedao and Haifeng Island, and the entire naval camp was strictly patrolled. Qining gave the order, No one was allowed to leave the camp without orders, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed without mercy. Moreover, the drills had been suspended for the past few days, and the officers and soldiers of each battalion stayed in their own camps to rest.
The Donghai Navy naturally knew that in just a few days, the Navy had undergone great changes, which could even be said to be in turmoil. Moreover, all the soldiers knew that Jin Yihou was personally involved in it. Jin Yihou represented The imperial court, then the changes that happened in the East China Sea this time are naturally under the control of the imperial court. No one knows how the imperial court will deal with the Donghai navy next. It is better to say less than to say more at this time. No one wants to get involved in the whirlpool. In the midst of this, Qi Ning gave an order, and the entire Donghai Navy Camp fell silent.
The amount of supplies shipped back from the two islands was so huge that the Navy camp did not have a place to store it for a while. Qining was not in a hurry. He knew that these supplies would soon be transported to the capital to replenish the national treasury. Therefore, there was no order to be moved from the ship, and it was left on the ship for the time being. Just wait for everything to be completed, and then be moved directly to the capital.
All ships carrying supplies were sealed. No one was allowed to board the ship without Qining's warrant. Those who violated the order would naturally be severely punished.
After everything was arranged, Qi Ning felt a little tired. Seeing Qi Ning's fatigue, Wu Dalin advised: "Master Marquis, you haven't had a good rest in the past few days, and there won't be anything major for the time being. You take the time to have a good rest.”
Qi Ning thought of Mo Yanbai and asked, "Where is Mo Yanbai? How is his injury?"
Wu Dalin said hurriedly: "General, I really don't know. Let's go and ask now."
Qi Ning waved his hand and said, "I'll go and see for myself. If it hadn't been for Mo Yanbai, everything wouldn't have gone so smoothly this time." After Wu Dalin asked where Mo Yanbai was, he rode over.
The navy camp has a place specially used to treat injuries and illnesses. This time, a few officers and soldiers were injured when they went to sea. After returning, they came directly to heal their injuries. Qining went over to express a few words of condolences, and then arrived in front of a small wooden house. It was almost dawn, and Qi Ning was worried that Mo Yanbai hadn't woken up yet, so he went to the window and took a look inside. There was an oil lamp burning in the room, but Mo Yanbai was sitting on the couch, holding a hand. A small wood carving.
Qi Ning went over and knocked on the door, and Mo Yanbai's voice came from inside the house: "Who is it?"
"I'm Qining!" Qining responded.
"Master Hou...!" Hearing the noise coming from the house, Qi Ning had already opened the door. Seeing that Mo Yanbai was struggling to sit up, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your injury is not healed, so there is no need to get up. I just came back. See It depends on how injured you are."
Mo Yanbai said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your concern. The grassroots have rough hands and feet, and the injury recovered quickly. I will be able to go to the ground in two days."
Qi Ning pulled up the chair next to him, sat down, and said with a smile: "This operation was a success. Jiang Mantian is dead, and all the supplies on the two islands have been transported back. Next, we will report to the court." Yes. Your second-in-command has made great achievements with his brothers this time, and you are also the one who is the first to expose Shen Liangqiu's conspiracy. I won't give it to you if the court will reward you. Guarantee, but when it comes to recruitment, I can assure you that there will be no problem."
Mo Yanbai let out a long breath and said: "The common people know that the Marquis led the troops to sea and have always wanted to know the result. It is really gratifying and congratulatory for the Marquis to return in triumph."
"You have endured hardship for more than ten years, and your great revenge has been avenged. Now the court must accept your surrender. What are your plans next?" Qi Ning asked gently.
Mo Yanbai was startled, silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Master Hou, to tell you the truth, the common people have been able to survive in the past ten years because they hope that their great revenge will be repaid." He smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, the common people have always been I know that it is not easy to get rid of Shen Liangqiu and avenge his family, and even revenge will not be possible in this life. Originally, it was intended that the Governor of Tantai would administer justice, but the Governor was murdered. At that time, the common people thought that there would be no chance. , but... the appearance of the Marquis gave hope to the common people, and the Marquis also helped the common people avenge themselves...!"
"A great revenge has been avenged. How do you feel now?"
Mo Yanbai shook his head and said: "I thought I would be very happy, but... after cutting off Shen Liangqiu's head, the common people felt an inexplicable emptiness. After the only thing that supported my survival was done, I seemed... to have become a useless person. "
"I can understand how you feel." Qining nodded slightly.
Mo Yanbai forced a smile: "I am alone now. As long as the brothers under me can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and they can live a good life in the future, I will have nothing to worry about."
"No more worries?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Mo Yanbai, you are older than me, I will call you Big Brother Mo...!"
"Don't dare." Mo Yanbai's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Grass people...!" When he was about to struggle, Qining stretched out his hand to hold him down, shook his head and said: "You have also been at sea for many years, so don't put those clichéd things on the table. In order to repay your family, you endure humiliation and bear the burden, and you are also able to think of finding a way for your subordinates. These two points alone make me admire you very much."
Mo Yanbai's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
"You said you have no worries anymore, but that's not necessarily true, right?" Qining sighed and said, "You seem to have forgotten someone."
"Forgot someone?" Mo Yanbai was startled, but suddenly thought of something, and said with a wry smile: "The Marquis is talking about... listening to incense!"
Qi Ning said with a smile: "You used the fortune teller to let me find Miss Tingxiang, and also let me know from Miss Tingxiang that you secretly appeared in Gulin City. You just wanted her to prove that you were there in those days. There is indeed a chance of contacting the Governor of Tantai."
"She is also a miserable person." Mo Yanbai sighed.
"But for her, your presence gave her miserable life a glimmer of hope." Qining said: "That night you went to see the Governor and said goodbye to her. To this day, she is still worried about you. Safety, I believe she has been waiting for you to return."
Mo Yanbai shook his head and said: "The common people know what the Marquis means. But the common people live a life of escape and may lose their lives one day. I really don't want to implicate her."
"Before you accepted the recruitment, you really lived a life of licking blood from the knife's edge. I can understand that you don't want to involve her." Qining said: "But in the future, if you want to change your life, you don't have to worry about living between life and death. , I can naturally take good care of her." After a pause, he smiled lightly and said: "Actually, for her, even if you live a precarious life, if she can be with you, maybe it will be better than her current life, right? "
Mo Yanbai lowered his head and thought deeply, Qi Ning frowned and said, "Is it possible that you don't like her?"
"This...!" Mo Yanbai raised his head and said, "Master Hou misunderstood. In fact... I have already died once, so why should I look down on you?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "In that case, leave this matter to me. I will have her redeemed later, but you have to promise me that if she follows you, I will take good care of her regardless of whether you are willing to marry her or not." She lives for one day and takes care of her for one day!"
