The Bandit’s Strategy

Chapter 157: [It’s New Year’s Eve] Naturally, it’s good to have a family reunion

"Action." Duan Baiyue said in a deep voice.

Wuying stuffed the peanut candy in his hand into his mouth, drew out two short knives and rushed out.

Fighting this kind of thing, you must rush to the forefront to enjoy the fun!

The surface of the sea was pitch black, and it was impossible for the enemy leader to see Shen Qianfeng immediately. When he realized it, his neck felt a chill. The blood splashed towards the sky, and the deputy commander standing on one side felt some water dripping down his face. When he looked again, his head had been smashed heavily on the deck in an instant, and the person beside him had already become a headless corpse.

"It's a murder!" A soldier exclaimed, and ran back scrambling. Chaos broke out on the boat, the people behind didn't know what happened, they only heard that the leader had lost his head, and saw that everyone was running, so they pulled up the sails and retreated to the rocks. Wuying saw the timing, jumped onto the deck, and kicked the person who was running at the front back with a kick in the chest. Hulala smashed into a large area, and the ship wobbled, almost capsizing into the sea.

Duan Baiyue and Shang Yunze are both masters, so they naturally have no problem dealing with these mobs. The three-foot sword's edge is as cold as snow under the moonlight. In less than a stick of incense, the entire fleet was in a mess. The Chu army in the distance was still killing, and the ghostly black shadows beside them were killing endlessly. Fear swept over the sky and covered the sky. Knowing exactly what happened, only knowing that maybe the next moment will die.

With a dagger in his mouth, Wuying climbed onto the mast silently like a civet, cut off the rope above, then turned around and jumped to the back of the cabin, firmly connecting the two adjacent warships. Shang Yunze followed suit, and the two cooperated with each other, and it didn't take long for all the ships to be tied together. The people below are still fighting hard, there is no commander and no watchtower, so no one is aware of what happened.

After finishing the last knot, Shang Yunze and Wuying exchanged a look, whistled, and jumped into the vast sea. Shen Qianfeng and Duan Baiyue got the order, swiped their swords and chopped off the enemy army in front of them, then kicked off the mast and disappeared in front of everyone.

Huge explosions came one after another, and the flames almost lit up for half a day. Even though they were several miles away, Ye Jin still felt his ears buzzing.

"This..." Chu Cheng turned pale with shock.

"It'll be fine." Ye Jin said. It's just that although the voice is calm, the heart is still unconsciously picked up, only thinking that people can come back safely.

"I've said it a long time ago, Leader Shen's miraculous skills are world-class." Wen Liunian also said on the side, "You only need to move your fingers to deal with these little fish and shrimp."

"I have admired the leader's name for a long time, and today I can meet him. It really is a well-deserved reputation." Chu Heng followed the polite manner, but there was a flash of worry between his brows. Now that things have happened, I know in my heart that this army may not be able to keep, and I can only hope that there will be no survivors. It is best that they all be buried in the fire and sea, so that I can be safe and sound.

"Leader Shen is back!" Chu Jun, who was in the lead, saw it first, and exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing that familiar figure, Ye Jin's heart that had been suspended at last finally eased back.

Shen Qianfeng jumped onto the watchtower and threw the enemy's head away.

Wen Liunian is too busy to dodge, don't splash me.

Seeing a head flying towards him, Chu Cheng had no choice but to hug it, feeling unlucky in his heart.

"Are you okay?" Seeing some blood on his body, Ye Jin hurriedly checked him.

"I'm fine, it's someone else's." Shen Qianfeng said, "I happened to see the gunpowder store, so I clicked it once to save trouble."

Ye Jin looked back, and saw that the vast fire on the other side of the Sanchilang had gradually weakened, leaving only the lingering ferocious smoke and the smell of kerosene.

"I'm really sorry for the League Leader." Chu Heng stepped forward and said, "You really are a young hero, and you can return home with such a big victory so easily. Taking the enemy's head is like picking something out of a bag. It really opened our eyes."

"The prince's reputation is just a mob." Shen Qianfeng wiped his hands, "It doesn't take much effort, it doesn't matter if there are ten or eight more."

Chu Heng followed with an apologetic smile, feeling a little uneasy. He fought for more than a month but failed to take it down, but Shen Qianfeng shattered the sky as soon as he made a move. If the news was sent back to Wangcheng, not to mention that the previous drama was performed in vain, I'm afraid he would be punished for his inaction.

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose money, such a loss-making business, but I never thought about doing it.

"My lord, don't worry." Ye Jin said as if seeing what was on his mind, "When the Chu army attacked the Mobei people, they were also trapped by the maze for a long time. In the end, Shaoyu broke the formation alone. Second lord He has not returned home for more than ten years, and has been stationed in the vast East China Sea, the emperor knows it well."

"Thank you, Master Gu." Chu Heng lowered his head slightly - after calling his nephew a few times and getting his eyes rolled, he has already changed his name very wisely.

"Let's go back first." Shen Qianfeng said, "Wait until dawn, and then send someone to clean up the mess."

Chu Heng nodded, ordering Chu Cheng to lead a team to Sanchilang—at least make sure that there are no people to talk about.

In the house on the other side, the dark guard was carefully flipping through the sweet potatoes, blowing one to cool, breaking it open and handing it to Mu Qingshan: "Master."

"No." Mu Qingshan shook his head.

"Lord Shang will be fine." The dark guard sat beside him.

"I know." Mu Qingshan said sullenly, but he was still worried.

The dark guard didn't try to persuade him any more, and just ate sweet potatoes by himself.

The sweet scent wafted over, finally Mu Qingshan couldn't bear it, stretched out his hand and squeezed a piece to eat.

So when everyone came back, they saw Mu Qingshan squatting by the stove, fiddled with the ashes with a small stick, with a serious expression on his face.

Shang Yunze laughed out loud.

"You're back!" Mu Qingshan heard the movement, dropped the stick and ran over.

"I don't want to eat well during the day, but I have an appetite in the middle of the night." Shang Yunze helped him wipe the black ash on the tip of his nose.

"Aren't you injured?" Mu Qingshan asked anxiously.

"It's okay." Shang Yunze patted him on the back, "Everything is as planned before, the enemy fleet was completely blown up, and a few people were captured at King Duan's side, and they will be kept awake for another trial."

"This time, there really is Lord Laobao." Wen Liunian said gratefully, "Hurry up and go back and rest."

Shang Yunze nodded, and went back to the bedroom with Mu Qingshan.

"Ah Choo!" Wuying sneezed, his eyes couldn't stop drifting into the stove.

Wen Liunian set aside a sweet potato for him.

"It's not as sweet as the one grown on the island." Wuying took a bite, "It's not dried."

"Give it back to me." Wen Liunian stretched out his hand.

"No!" Wuying was very protective.

Wen Liunian curled his lips, sat by the stove and hugged his knees and asked, "Is Luoying Island far from here?"

"Well." Wuying said, "Even if you take the fastest boat, it will take more than a month to arrive. If you encounter bad weather, it will be even more uncertain."

Wen Liunian sighed.

"The young master went to the island this time to practice in seclusion. Even if you go, you won't be able to see him." Wu Ying sat cross-legged across from him.

"I know." Wen Liunian drew circles on the ground, "It will take two years."

"Then why didn't you wait in Wangcheng?" Wuying always wanted to ask.

"In the East China Sea, it's always closer than in Wangcheng." Although I can't see anything. Wen Liunian thought for a while, and then said: "At least we can see the same sea."

Wuying shook his head: "I don't understand." So what if you can see the same sea? Still a long way to go.

"Actually, I don't know much about it, but I always feel that being here is more at ease than being in Wangcheng." Wen Liunian smiled, "Young master has worked hard too, so go back and rest soon."

Wuying finished eating the sweet potatoes, stretched and walked back. Wen Liunian turned off the stove, turned around and went back to the bedroom—after being busy for so many days, now that he finally felt relieved, he felt really tired.

Still have to get a good night's sleep.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the whole town was full of noise in the early morning. Those selling breakfast and catching up with the morning market were full of people's voices everywhere. There was a notice board posted brightly in the downtown area, and the literate scholars put their arms in their sleeves and read the words on it loudly. Read it to everyone.

"The pirates of Three Foot Waves were really repelled?"

"It is said that leader Shen went deep into the enemy army alone last night, and took dozens of people's heads with just one sword."

"Yeah, even the fleet was blown up in the end. A few brave young men sailed out to sea this morning. They said that there were people from Prince Chu on the other side of the three-foot wave. The enemy army was nowhere to be seen. They are all tattered and tattered sampan sails, so it can be seen that they have gone through a fierce battle."

"Now I'm going to go fishing in the east, but I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Wanting a stable life in the future, the people couldn't help but feel grateful to Shen Qianfeng in their hearts, so they picked the best fresh fish and snacks from home and sent them to Wen's mansion with a burden. The dark guard refused at first, but later saw that there were more and more people, so he simply took all of them, converted them into silver and sent them to every household, and then hired dozens of cooks to make all the ingredients into delicacies. , There was a lively water feast in the city. People from all over the world rushed over after hearing the news, and the laughter almost shook the sky. A raging bonfire was lit in the middle of the night, girls and boys were singing and dancing around, and no one was willing to sleep.

"This is the life that the people of Great Chu should live." Wen Liunian sat on the high platform, smiling and looking into the distance, "It was so lifeless before, what does it look like?"

"Father and son of the Chu family don't think so." Shang Yunze said, "The more ignorant the people are, the better it will be for him."

"That was before." Wen Liunian said firmly, "From now on, the people in the Great Kun City will only get better day by day."

Shang Yunze nodded, and passed the wine jar over: "I toast your lord."

Wen Liunian didn't refuse, he raised his head and took a sip.

There is quite a bit of pride in it.

Just a little choking.

Shang Yunze laughed and reached out to pat him on the back.

The wine is fragrant in the distance, and the fisherman's songs are melodious.

After this battle, Chu Mian and Chu Cheng finally restrained their small actions in private—after all, they only knew that Shen Qianfeng was good at kung fu, but they didn't expect it to be so unpredictable. It's easy to deal with, after thinking about it, I think it's better not to take the initiative. After all, I have been waiting for more than ten years, and I don't care how many years.

Duan Baiyue also returned to Muyang City, and continued... to worship the ancestors.

"Ye Guzhu." One afternoon, Wen Liunian found an opportunity to come forward, "May I ask a question?"

"Ask what?" Ye Jin lined up the five red-armored wolves to bask in the sun.

"I think the King of the Southwest is not bad." Wen Liunian said, "Why does the owner of the valley seem to have a prejudice against him?"

"Do I have it?" Ye Jin wondered.

Everyone at the scene nodded in unison.

There is more than that.

Yes very much.

Ye Jin: "..."

Wen Liunian was still looking at him waiting for an answer.

Ye Jin calmly said: "Because he looks too wretched."

The dark guard's eyes were very worried, and he said that the taste of the valley owner is not normal. He used to like to have a ferocious face and hair all over his body, and he wanted to raise a monkey and a white bear in the extreme north. Now he said that the king of the Southwest is wretched. Handsome and tall, I don't know how many girls are waiting to marry.

"Anyway, don't mention him in the future." Ye Jin angrily crushed a worm cake.

Wen Liunian hurriedly dodged: "Okay, okay, just don't mention it."

Ye Jin carried a small basket and entered the house arrogantly, leaving Mrs. Wen in the courtyard puzzled.

Could it be that I really owe money.

The chaos of the three-foot wave has calmed down, and the city of Da Kun is peaceful like never before. According to the usual practice, the imperial court has to transfer money over every year, and this time it was finally not used as a military camp, but distributed to the people in full.

"I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will hate your lord because of this." Mu Qingshan worried.

"So what about bearing grudges?" Wen Liunian looked at the distance and said indifferently, "Chu Heng's habitual problems, I will correct them one by one."

Mu Qingshan blinked his eyes, and felt that the tone of the adult's words just now...was so majestic.

Chu Mian still ran to Wen Mansion whenever he was free, and was a little anxious when he came to Chu Heng, so he simply asked the housekeeper to send him back to his hometown in the countryside to keep him under strict supervision, so as not to run out again to cause trouble. The night before his departure, Chu Mian was almost blind from crying, but in the end Wen Liunian gave him some of his books to coax him back.

"Your Excellency, you have to wait for me." Chu Mian was still reluctantly waving his hands until he got into the carriage, "I want to go to Wangcheng Academy together."

Wen Liunian nodded and watched him all the way out of the city.

"I can't see that my second brother is actually able to please adults." Chu Cheng said calmly on the side.

"Young master has a simple character, anyone would like it." Wen Liunian glanced at him, "What does your son mean by that?"

"My lord, don't worry too much." Chu Cheng smiled, "My second younger brother has always been a coward, but now that he is able to reach the Wenqu star, I, as an older brother, can't even be happy for him."

Wen Liunian nodded: "When it comes to literary talents, the young master is indeed better than the eldest son."

Chu Cheng's smile was a little stiff.

Wen Liunian didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he turned and went home.

Day by day, the atmosphere of the New Year in the city is getting stronger and stronger. On New Year's Eve, everyone started to work early in the morning. Ye Jin went out with Shen Qianfeng and gave a circle of red envelopes to the little dolls in the city. It was laughing and making noise with the dark guards, which made the backyard jump around.

"Go out and fight!" Mrs. Wen rushed out of the kitchen with a rice spoon, quite murderous.

"My lord, save me!" Wu Ying quickly hid behind him.

The dark guard rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, carrying Wen Liunian on his shoulders and flying, Master Wen wanted to cry without tears and shouted in despair: "There is still soup in the pot!"

"Go and help." Ye Jin covered her stomach, and pushed Shen Qianfeng away when she had laughed enough, "My lord is a scholar, don't make a fuss and lose your waist."

"Where is it my turn to make a move." Shen Qianfeng fed him a piece of snack, "Here, someone is here."

"Huh?" Ye Jin followed his gaze and was pleasantly surprised: "The boss is back?"

Zhao Yuefei jumped over the wall and pulled the man back into his arms.

The incident was so sudden that Wen Liunian opened his mouth wide open.

"Stupid?" Zhao Yue looked at him and smiled, reaching out to pinch his nose.

Only then did Wen Liunian come to his senses, and hugged him, so happy that he was about to cry: "Why are you back?"

"I want to come back to spend the New Year with you." Zhao Yue whispered in his ear.

The rest of the people walked out without saying anything. After all, it was a reunion after a long absence, and the following scene is not suitable for others to see...
