"I don't know what clever plan your lord has?" Shang Yunze asked.
"It's actually not complicated." Wen Liunian said, "When we first arrived in the Great Kun City, according to Chu Heng's words and deeds at that time, he should have wanted us to go to Sanchilang to have a look."
"Indeed." Ye Jin nodded, "I guess it's to prove that the war in the East China Sea is indeed serious, and also to explain that the ruin of the Great Kun City and the poverty of the people are all due to things, not his inaction."
"Since the three-foot waves haven't subsided yet, let's go out to sea together to have a look as he wished." Wen Liunian said, "By the way, wipe out the pirates in one fell swoop!"
"Can you explain in more detail?" The rest of the people were a little puzzled, even the Shadow Chaser Palace's hidden guards were rarely at a loss—even if it was telling a story, there must be a sequence of transitions, there is no way to tell it directly from the beginning to the end.
"Mr. Shen is very skilled in martial arts, but he is not familiar with naval battles. The same is true of Master Shang." Wen Liunian said, "The reason why Chu Heng dared to let us go to sea is because the East China Sea is his territory. The fog conceals the mystery of the ghost ship, so even if we go there, we may not be able to see the clues, but it will be more beneficial to him."
"So?" Shang Yunze asked.
"That's why we want to attack them by surprise." Wen Liunian said to Shen Qianfeng, "After we go out to sea together, the lord finds a time when the two armies are fighting and proposes to Chu Heng that he wants to fight the enemy himself, while the King of Southwest and Lord Shang will act secretly. , responsible for assisting the lord to destroy the enemy camp first. At that time, the inside and outside should cooperate, and if the operation goes well, Chu Heng can be sure of this boring loss without anyone noticing."
"Will it be dangerous?" Ye Jin frowned upon hearing this.
"This needs to be discussed carefully." Wen Liunian said, "It is necessary to find a perfect solution."
"This is a good way." Duan Baiyue rubbed his chin, "Master Shen is the first-class martial arts expert in the Central Plains today, and there are countless rumors that are hard to tell. Even if you go deep into the enemy's camp and fight against a hundred, it is reasonable. No one will question the matter, and no one will guess that someone is helping in the dark."
"Can you swim?" Mu Qingshan asked in a low voice.
"Naturally." Shang Yunze smiled, "Don't worry, since you have to do something, you have to make sure everything is safe and nothing will happen."
"En." Mu Qingshan nodded obediently, although his eyes were still worried, he didn't say anything more.
The candles in the study danced, and it was not until the next morning that the crowd dispersed. Wen Liunian had just returned to his room to wash his face, and before he had time to eat breakfast, the housekeeper came to report again, saying that it was Chu Mian who asked to see him.
"Why does it come earlier every day?" The dark guard frowned upon hearing this, "Do you want him to go back first?"
"No need." Wen Liunian shook his head, "I didn't intend to take a break in the first place, so it's okay to go out and have a look."
"My lord." Chu Mian was waiting in the front hall, holding a huge scroll in his hand. Seeing him, he stood up happily, and when he opened it, there was a huge portrait—of course it was Wen Liunian.
Dark Guard: "..."
"How?" Chu Mian's face was full of joy.
"This is..." Wen Liunian was also a little surprised.
"I went out to play half a year ago, and I also went to the Jiangnan Academy area." Chu Mian said, "It happened to be a market at that time, and everyone was rushing to buy portraits of adults, so I also ordered one."
"Why rush to buy my portrait?" Wen Liunian was confused.
"Your Excellency is the star of Wenqu. Buy a portrait and hang it in the living room, so that you can bless your family with a champion." Chu Mian said happily, "This painting is specially made by me. It was just mounted and sent over. I don't know if you want it." Mention a few words?"
Wen Liunian: "..."
In all fairness, not very willing.
Chu Mian's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Wen Liunian sighed inwardly, picked up his pen and said, "What word do you want, young master?"
"This..." For a while, Chu Mian was a little caught up in the question. After getting the portrait, his first reaction was to come to the door happily, wanting to ask Wen Liunian to write a few words and a sentence of poems in his own handwriting. As for what to write, he hadn't thought about it carefully.
"If the young master doesn't think about it, it's better to discuss this matter later." Wen Liunian put away his pen and ink, "After all, I still have to live in this big Kun City for a year or two, and I won't leave right away. I'm not in a hurry half a moment."
"Okay." Chu Mian nodded, and asked again, "Did your lord not have a good rest last night, why did you look listless?"
"I miss the head of the family too much." The dark guard hurriedly interjected to declare ownership, which was very witty.
"I heard that the master is also in the East China Sea. Are you worried that you will be implicated in the war?" Chu Mian asked.
"I don't know where it is in the East China Sea." Wen Liunian sighed when mentioning this matter, "Otherwise, I still have some confidence in my heart."
"If your lord wants to know, I can help you find out." Chu Mian said.
Wen Liunian was surprised when he heard the words: "The young master also has connections in the East China Sea?"
"It's not me, it's father and elder brother." Chu Mian rubbed his head, "A few years ago, a group of businessmen came to the palace, saying that they wanted to sell a batch of tea sets and tea leaves to the East, and they were afraid of being robbed by pirates, so they hoped that they could go to the palace with them. Da Chu set off with the sea patrol team, so it is good to have someone to take care of him."
"The lord agreed?" Wen Liunian asked.
"Not only agreed, but also the soldiers led by the elder brother himself." Chu Mian said, "The merchants have strong financial resources and have business dealings with various islands in the East China Sea. If the adults want to find the masters, they should be able to help a lot."
"It's still not necessary." Wen Liunian shook his head, "Martial arts practitioners pay attention to the word 'peace of mind', if it's not absolutely necessary, it's better not to bother."
"Alright, when will your lord want to investigate, just come to me." Chu Mian assured, patting his chest.
The dark guard was even more puzzled, seeing what he did before, he was regarded as a disciple who coveted the master, but now it seems that he is not very jealous of the master, and he is not even as good as Mr. Mu, and he doesn't know what he wants to do. something.
Later, when the group of people were eating, they suddenly heard the report from the housekeeper, saying that there was a guest, a young master of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"My lord." Wuying entered the door happily - he was originally left by Yun Duanhun to protect Wen Liunian, but he was sent to work on the way, so he arrived at Big Kun City later than the others.
"Thanks for your hard work, young master." Wen Liunian hurriedly helped him open the chair.
"It's just a matter of duty." Wuying took a sip of water, put down his teacup and said, "According to my lord's instructions, I visited all the fishing villages around here, and found that most of the people live barely, and even When it came to the tsunami storm, they could only tighten their belts to live, but even so, everyone respected the father and son of the Chu family very much, almost as worshiping the real Sea Dragon King. They also said that if it wasn't for him, the East China Sea would have already died. Occupied by the Wa Kingdom."
"I guess it was blown out on purpose again." Ye Jin shook his head, "Worried that the people would refuse to obey the jurisdiction, so he attributed the stability and peace of the East China Sea in recent years to himself. Now I am afraid that only the old people know who Yun Duanhun is. It's a pity that a generation of heroes stepped on the waves and cut the wind, using iron and blood in exchange for this great prosperity, but in the end they were taken credit for in vain by villains.
"What's your plan for the next step?" Wuying asked.
"Attack the enemy camp at night." Wen Liunian replied.
Wuying's eyes lit up instantly: "Can I participate?"
"Naturally." Wen Liunian pinched his chin.
When it comes to fighting, the more helpers you have, the better—if you can fight one out of ten, that would be fun.
As for the morality of the world... people in the officialdom naturally don't care about it.
The three-foot waves in the East China Sea still don't stop, and there will be wars almost every few days. After receiving another notification, Ye Jin finally said, "Why don't we go and have a look?"
Chu Heng and Chu Cheng were also present, and they were a little surprised when they heard it. Just as Wen Liunian expected, these wars were indeed deliberately planned behind the scenes, and the purpose was to cover up the whereabouts of a large number of silver coins over the years, so as to avoid suspicion in the court's mind.
"I can go alone." Shen Qianfeng shook his head, "The battlefield is too dangerous, and you don't know how to swim, so it's better to stay in the mansion with Mr. Wen."
But Ye Guzhu obviously would not agree to this proposal.
So the final result, of course, was Shen Qianfeng's unconditional compromise.
"League Leader Shen, don't worry, our Great Chu battleship is magnificent, and it is by no means comparable to the opponent's fleet." Chu Heng said, "Besides, based on the combat experience during this period, it is really nothing to be afraid of."
"It's so good." Ye Jin turned and went out, "I'll go back and get ready."
"Excuse me." Shen Qianfeng smiled apologetically and followed out.
"Every time we meet, I'm so arrogant, it's hard for my father to be patient again." After the two left, Chu Chengliang said coolly.
"Otherwise?" Chu Heng glanced at him, "Could it be that we still have to fight on the spot?" In terms of kung fu, I'm afraid that few people in the world can match Shen Qianfeng; Ye Jin was a relative with the same surname, but Ye Jin was a real little prince, who was almost doted on by Chu Yuan. Since everything is incomparable, what can I do except forbearance
"It won't be too long to be arrogant." Chu Chengdao, "I don't believe that Duan Baiyue can stay in Muyang City for three to five years. At that time, as long as the southwest garrison withdraws, the Black Dragon Army can advance, attack, retreat and defend, even if they can't Attacking the royal city can also take the territory south of the Shejiang River from the imperial court."
"It's not too late to talk about the future." Chu Heng said, "Go and tell Osprey that Shen Qianfeng wants to watch the battle first, let him prepare well, and don't show his feet."
"Yes." Chu Cheng took the order, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Chu Heng, "How is Ah Mian?"
"What else can I do? I am as obsessed with calligraphy and painting as before, and I can't wait to jump into the inkstone." Chu Chengdao, "However, I have gone out a lot more times, and I always go to see Mr. Wen, and according to the young man, we have a pretty good chat. Speculation."
"What are you talking about?" Chu Heng frowned.
"What else can it be, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry." Chu Chengdao, "but father can rest assured that the second brother knows nothing about family affairs, and his head has some problems. He looks quite sincere and credible. If Mr. Wen can't get the words out of his mouth, maybe he will trust his father more."
Chu Mian sighed: "Ah Mian doesn't live up to it, you as an older brother can only do more."
"Father, what are you talking about?" Chu Cheng smiled, "It's my son's dream to achieve hegemony together."
It was night, and Shen Qianfeng took Ye Jin onto the warship as expected, accompanied by Wen Liunian, who kept yawning, who was tightly wrapped up, only showing one face, and it was still very cold!
"If your lord is cold, why don't you go back first?" Chu Chengdao.
"You think I'm willing to come." Wen Liunian complained in a low voice, and gave him a blank look by the way.
Chu Cheng: "..."
Not to mention Wen Quxing descended to earth, how could he be so fierce and stare at him casually
Wen Liunian shrank his hands into his sleeves and asked, "When will the fight be over?"
"I'm afraid I can't say for sure." Chu Cheng shook his head, "If your lord is tired, go back to the cabin and rest."
Wen Liunian looked unhappy, as if he was owed a thousand and eight hundred taels of silver.
If it weren't for the fact that he was an official of the imperial court and there were two black-faced gods behind him, Chu Cheng almost wanted to leave on the spot.
The horn blew in the night sky, and countless ships sailed out of the huge reefs in the three-foot waves, and they came together with great momentum, breaking the waves towards the Chu State's vanguard fleet.
Wen Liunian finally regained his energy and stood on the watchtower to supervise the battle together.
On the surface of the sea, the flames blazed and the sound of killing continued, Wen Liunian looked at it for a while and said, "That's it?"
"Otherwise, how do you want to fight?" Chu Heng was stopped by him.
"Sea battles are no different than land battles. You can let go of fighting." Chu Cheng also said, "The premise of all attacks is to ensure the safety of the soldiers. The most important thing is not to fall into the sea, so it may seem a bit boring. .”
"It's a pity that all the Zhentian cannons are placed in important ports and cannot be moved here. If we can get two more, this battle will be much easier." Chu Heng regretted.
Wen Liunian was tsk tsk in his heart, no wonder he wanted to come to watch the battle by himself again and again, but he was still playing with the court's idea.
On the other side of the port, Duan Baiyue and Shang Yunze boarded the small boat together with Wuying, taking advantage of the night and the sound of gunfire to quietly sail towards the Sanchilang. The main force of the enemy army was fighting at the front, so the rear defense was very lax. The three of them easily knocked out the guards and boarded the rocks in the dark.
"After working for a long time, there are only a few ships in total." Shang Yunze shook his head, "It's also thanks to Chu Heng that he was able to fight for a month."
"The distance is long and there are reefs, so it's easy to appear majestic." Wuying asked, "When will we act?"
"We have to wait for leader Shen." Shang Yunze said.
Wuying nodded, took out a piece of candy from his pocket and ate it.
Anyway, nothing to do.
And cold.
Anyway, cushion the stomach.
About an hour later, both sides were injured, but neither of them took advantage. Seeing that the enemy was about to retreat again, Ye Jin finally turned to look at Shen Qianfeng: "Why don't you go and help? There is no way to go on like this. "
"Very good, very good." Wen Liunian made a smart move in his drowsiness, and when he woke up, he quickly echoed.
"Now?" Chu Heng was puzzled when he heard the words. The battle was coming to an end, and the warships were still some distance away. Could it be that one should be called back first to carry him and kill him again
"Wait for me to come back." Shen Qianfeng pulled up the cloak for Ye Jin, then stepped on the railing, and jumped towards the boundless sea. The silver-white figure was fleeting, and soon disappeared into the dark night.
"This..." Chu Heng was dumbfounded.
"Don't worry." Wen Liunian kindly explained on the side, "Leader Shen is excellent at lightness kung fu, this distance is nothing to him."
Chu Cheng frowned slightly, obviously never expecting that Shen Qianfeng would agree to join the battle so easily—and even without a boat.
Would it be too casual
