Qining stayed at the navy camp for four days. As the sun set, Xinci's fleet finally returned to the shore. Wu Dalin had been waiting for news about the fleet at the beach for the past few days. When the fleet entered the harbor, Wu Dalin immediately became the first Time to report to Qining.
Qi Ning personally went to the dock to greet him, and many of the twelve warships returned to the harbor. When Qi Ning arrived at the port, Xin Ci had already disembarked from the warship. Seeing Qi Ning from a distance, he quickened his pace to greet him and said, "Thank you." Long wait, Lord Marquis!"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Xin."
"According to the order of the Marquis, the fleet pursued south for three days, but no trace of the Jiang family's fleet was found. The general did not continue the pursuit and turned back."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "General Xin's mission is extremely critical and has attracted Jiang Mantian's attention. Now that Haifeng Island and Iron Island have been captured by us, if General Xin had not attracted Jiang Mantian's attention, we would not be like this. smoothly."
Xin Ci raised his eyebrows and laughed and said, "Or is it because the Marquis has a thorough plan and strategizing to catch Jiang Mantian?"
"Jiang Mantian has committed suicide by taking poison, but Jiang Changfeng has become a prisoner." Qi Ning said: "Chen Governor has also controlled several major families in the city, and now the city and the camp are relatively safe. "
Xin Ci sighed: "This time, I eliminated the rebellion of the East China Sea family first. The achievements of the Marquis are truly unparalleled." Pointing to the many ships in the distance, he said: "Master Marquis, I will see those boxes carrying boxes. Could it be... ?”
"Yes, the weapons and property stored on the two islands by the Jiang family have been transported back." Qining said: "My Da Chu's Northern Expedition is about to begin. With these supplies, it can be considered as a way to share the worries of the imperial court."
"Exactly." Xin Ci sighed with emotion. He had been out at sea for several days and obviously had not had a good rest. His face was full of exhaustion: "The biggest problem of the imperial court's Northern Expedition was the weakness of the national treasury. Although these supplies were far from enough for the Northern Expedition, But it can also relieve a lot of pressure on the court."
"General Xin looks very tired. I think General Xin and the soldiers will have a good meal first, and then have a good night's rest." Qi Ning said with a smile, "I will help General Xin later."
Xin Ci thanked him and asked: "Master Hou, those two islands...?"
"General Xin, don't worry, an ambush has been set up." Qi Ning said softly: "Jiang Yishui has no information at sea. It is impossible for him to know that the two islands are already in our hands, let alone to think that an ambush has been set there. No matter whether they get there or not Every island will fall into our trap."
Xin Ci felt relieved and said with a smile: "Master Hou has no plan left. As long as Jiang Yishui is captured, it will be a complete victory." He added: "Master Hou has been sitting in the military camp these days. I don't think he is used to the military. During the life in the city, the Marquis can also go back to the city to rest for a while, and then he will make some arrangements here, and then go to the city to see the Marquis."
Qining raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was setting in the west. He thought that since Xin Ci had returned to the camp, he didn't have to stay here anymore. If the ambushes on the two islands really got news, they would naturally spread it to him. There is nothing to do in the military camp.
Moreover, the navy camp is the territory of the Jindao Tantai family. Although I have joined forces with Xinci this time, if I interfere too much in the East China Sea Navy, it will inevitably make the Tantai family unhappy. Xinci is in the navy The large camp was enough to stabilize the navy.
"That's fine." Qi Ning nodded: "General Xin has a good rest. If we are free tomorrow, we will discuss the next thing. How to transport these supplies to the capital, and how to deal with the prisoners of the three major families in the East China Sea. In addition... there are also memorials to be submitted to the imperial court. Lord Chen came to the camp two days ago and asked about the memorials. What I meant was to wait for a while and wait for General Xin to come back before we can discuss it."
As soon as Xin Ci heard the word "memorial", his face became solemn.
"But with such a big event happening here, the old Marquis Jindao and the imperial court are naturally anxiously waiting for the news." Qi Ning said softly: "This trouble can't be delayed forever. If General Xin has a good rest tomorrow, let's go to the city and have a good time." Let’s discuss it!”
Xin Ci cupped his hands and said, "I will rush over there as soon as possible tomorrow."
"Don't worry, just go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss it at noon tomorrow."
Xin Ci handed over his hand and said yes, and Qi Ning then ordered Wu Dalin and others to prepare and set off back to Gulin City before dark.
Returning to Gulin City, the city gates were closed. Qining knew that the city was under martial law and made his identity known. After entering the city, he went back to the post house and found that additional guards had been deployed around the post house. He knew that this was probably arranged by Chen Ting. .
In the past few days at the camp, Qining had not taken a good bath, and he didn't feel much before he came back. But when he entered the courtyard with the fragrance of flowers and birds singing, he felt a little uncomfortable. He sighed inwardly, the environment can change a person. , used to living a life of fine clothing and fine food, and being in an environment of singing and dancing, it is really easy to kill people's fighting spirit.
When he returned to the yard where he lived, his mood suddenly felt a little better. He thought that the beautiful woman Tian Xuerong should still be waiting in his yard. He finally broke through the restraints last time and had a romantic night with that beautiful woman. The next day But they were separated and didn't even have time to be affectionate. When I came back today, I could once again enjoy the charm of that beautiful woman.
He walked briskly to the door. By this time, the sky had already darkened. There were lights in the house, but the door was closed. A smile appeared on Qining's lips, he coughed, and knocked on the door. It was not until Qining coughed twice that he heard the sound of footsteps. Then the door of the room opened with a creak, and Mrs. Tian's mature and beautiful face came face to face. When Mrs. Tian saw Qining, she was startled at first, but immediately revealed her charming face. With a beautiful smile, she said softly: "Master Hou, are you... back?" Opening the door, Qining went in. At this time, he felt relaxed all over his body, and asked with a smile: "You have been staying here these few days?"
Mrs. Tian turned around and closed the door, then walked over with her waist twisted, poured a cup of tea on the table, walked over and placed it in front of Qi Ning, and said softly: "Master Hou looks very tired, he must be very tired these days." If you are tired, drink a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue."
At this time, Mrs. Tian was gentle and considerate, but it made Qining feel even more comfortable. Because she was very close, Qining could clearly smell the faint fragrance of the woman. When he squinted, he inadvertently glanced at the lady's chest. , when she put down the tea cup, her body was slightly bent. Under the loose coat, her chest was bulging, which was really fascinating.
Of course Qining knew the softness and elasticity of his wife's breasts. He spent a lot of time on them that night. He picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "Are you feeling bored?"
The lady sat down on the chair next to her and said softly: "I originally wanted to go out for a walk, but the city is under martial law these days. They said it's very chaotic outside, so it's better not to go out, so I stayed in the house and didn't go out."
Qi Ning knew that the "them" mentioned by his wife were the several guards he had brought here. Mrs. Tian was temporarily staying here. Although not many people knew about it, when Qi Ning left, he specially arranged for several guards to guard his wife's property. Safety.
These guards watched Mrs. Tian follow Qi Ning from the capital to the East China Sea. Even a fool would guess that the young Marquis and Mrs. Tian had some ambiguous relationship, but who dared to say anything more? I just wonder in my heart, secretly thinking that most of the dignitaries in the city like young and beautiful girls. This young prince seems to have a unique taste? But everyone has also seen Mrs. Tian. This beautiful woman has charming curves, thin skin and tender flesh. In addition, she has an extremely beautiful face, and she has a mature style that a young girl cannot match. Such beauty A woman will be attracted to a man, so it’s no wonder that the young Marquis fell in love with her.
The guards knew that Mrs. Tian had an ambiguous relationship with the young Marquis, so they were naturally more careful and guarded her wholeheartedly.
"You heard it last time on the island. Shen Liangqiu murdered the Governor. After investigation, it was determined that he was responsible." Qi Ning did not hide it: "Shen Liangqiu has been punished."
The lady opened her eyes wide and said softly: "Did he really do it? Shen Liangqiu... is cruel and cruel, and evil will be rewarded. The black tiger shark's revenge can be regarded as revenge." The last time she heard Mo Yanbai He felt very sympathetic to Mo Yanbai and deeply hated Shen Liangqiu.
"Shen Liangqiu is not alone in causing trouble." Qi Ning said: "Several big families in the East China Sea are also involved. These people are working together and intending to rebel. Fortunately, Mo Yanbai discovered the clues. In the past few days, officers and soldiers have surrounded and suppressed them. The governor Chen Ting We also acted in the city, using a two-pronged approach to catch them all. The city is under martial law because we are worried that the three major families have too much power in the East China Sea, so we should be careful not to let the mermaids break the net and cause chaos in the city."
The lady's face changed color slightly, she raised her hand and pressed it on her bulging chest, and said in surprise: "Then... then the government has already taken action against the three major aristocratic families?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "This also solves the serious concern of the imperial court." He picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at his wife and said softly: "The East China Sea will not be very peaceful at the moment, and it will take a while to fully recover. After recovery, you will not face any resistance when running your business in the East China Sea. Yes, President Miao of the Medicine Store Chamber of Commerce is quite good. Now that Jiang Mantian has fallen, the position of the president of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce has become vacant. I think President Miao can take over the position, but after President Miao takes over, the position of president of the Medicine Store Merchant Association will be vacant. We need to find a suitable person to take over, are you interested?"
The lady was startled and immediately shook her head and said: "No, no, I haven't established a foothold in the medicine shop in Donghai yet. I don't have many connections here, how can I take this position?"
"Those are not important. As long as you are willing, the position of president is within your grasp."
The lady sighed quietly and said softly: "I know Mr. Hou's good intentions, but... Mr. Hou, please don't do too much for me. I... Hey, the more you do too much, the more uncomfortable I will be."
"Oh?" Qining knew Madam Tian's thoughts. If she was really allowed to become the president of the Medicine Company Merchant Association, although no one dared to say anything on the surface, everyone behind the scenes knew that this was because Madam Tian had a big backer. Madam Obviously he didn't want to be talked about behind his back, so he smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about this later. I have other things to discuss with you later."
"Something else?" Madam blinked her charming eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Never mind that for now." Qining stood up and took off his coat. His wife stood up to help, but Qining moved too quickly and threw away the coat before she came over: "I haven't taken a shower in the past few days, and I feel uncomfortable. Have someone prepare water, I want to take a bath.”
The lady hurriedly said: "Then I'll go out and let them bring water in. I'll come in after you've finished washing." She was about to go out, but she felt her wrists tighten, and the lady's delicate body trembled. When she turned around, Qining was already looking at him. She looked at her and said softly: "Wait until I finish washing you before you come in? Why is that? Don't you want to serve me?"
"I...!" Madam said in a low voice, a little embarrassed and uncomfortable: "That day... wasn't it agreed that day, and it was just... that one time?"
"Once?" Qining chuckled and said, "What are you thinking? I asked you to take a bath for me, and I didn't say you would do anything else. Are you thinking too much?"
Madam's face flushed with embarrassment for a moment, she glared at Qi Ning angrily, her face was burning, she knew clearly that Qi Ning was teasing her on purpose, but she still felt unbearable shame, lowered her head and was embarrassed to look at Qi Ning, under the light, Yan Ruo Peaches and plums, infinite charm.
