Huge waves emerged from the sea, and huge barbed nets were scattered into the sea. The group of sea monkeys wanted to use brute force to break through the barriers, but instead were pierced into their bodies by sharp barbs that had been tempered with poison, struggling and screaming Among them, the blood quickly spread, dyeing the sea black and red.
The Chu army continued to retreat, giving up the battlefield completely. Standing on the watchtower, Chu Yuan watched the huge ship swelled with sails and came crushed by the thunderbolt. Occasionally, a sea monkey that broke through the iron net rushed forward with boundless anger, trying to climb onto the ship. However, it was ruthlessly pierced by the iron plow attached to the hull, and finally screamed and fell into the sea, swallowed and submerged by the waves.
The rain of arrows was densely woven into a net, tearing the wind apart, and countless dead sea monkeys floated on the sea surface, emitting a foul smell.
The giant ship cast iron nets to catch the last batch of sea monkeys, and then drove away with it. The medium-sized warships quickly outflanked them, and hundreds of iron spears shot out at once, beheading them all.
The warships of the Chu army blew their horns, and Shen Qianfan personally led his troops to attack again. Without the cover of sea monkeys, Baiwu Island was almost like an isolated island. The morale of the generals of the Chu army was high. A knelt down and begged for mercy. Looking at the distance, the huge fleet has long since disappeared, and the vast white mist is still pervasive, as if nothing happened. Only the remains of sea monkey corpses on the sea reminded of the fierce battle that just happened.
"Brother." Ye Jin climbed onto the observation deck and stood beside Chu Yuan.
"Huh?" Chu Yuan still looked into the distance.
"King Daming is gone." Ye Jin said.
Chu Yuan withdrew his gaze: "After the chaos in the royal city, he will no longer care about the word 'King of Ming Dynasty'."
"But he still saved us." Ye Jin said, "It's the same as saving the first emperor back then." The only difference is that this time he didn't stay after saving people, but chose to leave.
"Tell me, if there is no help, what will be the outcome of this battle?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Perhaps they won't lose." Ye Jin said, "It's just that there must be countless casualties."
"Father is alive in the sky, and I don't know what mood it will be." Chu Yuan laughed at himself. A wrong decision back then made the people of the East China Sea suffer from stupid officials and pirates for more than twenty years. If they are stationed in the East China Sea now It could be the Yun family army back then, I'm afraid everything will be different.
"You don't need to bear the consequences for the wrong things done by the late emperor. You are a good emperor." Ye Jin patted him, "As for Senior Yun, since he is wearing a mask and doesn't want to show his face, let's just say goodbye." If there is a fate in the future , maybe it would be nice to have a glass of wine together.
"Report to the Emperor!" The lieutenant hurriedly boarded the ship, "The army has captured Baiwu Island, and everyone except Qingqiu and Chu Cheng has been captured."
"Where are the two of them?" Chu Yuan frowned slightly.
"General Shen has already led people to search in person. All the exits of the waterways are guarded by the Chu army. The other party should not be able to escape." The deputy general said.
"Allow more people." Chu Yuan turned and disembarked, "We must capture these two people!"
Among the seaweeds as tall as a person, Wen Liunian was lying on Zhao Yue's back, pushing aside the obstacles in front of him from time to time - he was walking by himself at first, but it was too wet and slippery, so he would stagger from time to time. In the end, Zhao Yue really I couldn't stand it anymore, so I forcibly picked him up.
Master Wen was depressed, and finally realized the tragic fact that he was a nerd. At some point, it was indeed a bit... useless.
"Don't think about it." Zhao Yue seemed to guess what was on his mind, "You are very powerful."
"That's natural." Wen Liunian was very immodest.
Zhao Yue laughed out loud, bowed his head and kissed the hand that was holding him.
Mrs. Wen was embarrassed, and looked around secretly.
The secret guards looked around with the soldiers of the Chu army, and they had a tacit understanding.
We see nothing.
"Which way are we going now?" Wen Liunian frowned as the stars and the moon faded away from the horizon.
Zhao Yue put him down and roughly identified the direction, but he caught a glimpse of something strange from the corner of his eye.
"I don't know what the situation on the battlefield is like." Wen Liunian was worried.
Zhao Yue winked at the hidden guard, and stood in front of Wen Liunian quietly.
The dark guard enthusiastically hooked up with the vanguard beside him: "Let's go, let's go pee together."
"Should we be together for this kind of thing?" The Chu army's vanguard disliked it.
"Naturally, you need more people to urinate, so that you can urinate farther than anyone else." The dark guard made sense, hooked up and walked forward, then suddenly jumped up into the air, pulled out his iron whip and whipped it towards a bush, The vanguard was taken aback.
A gigantic mouse squeaked and ran away, plopping into the sea.
"So it's just a mouse." The dark guard was slightly disappointed, "I thought it was a sneak attack."
Zhao Yue also heaved a sigh of relief, and put the knife back into its sheath, but Wen Liunian gently tugged at his sleeve.
The torches in the distance flickered on and off, and everyone quickly hid in the grass, paying attention to the movement outside.
Qingqiu escaped with a few confidants along the path, using the grass and rocks to identify the direction, and was about to go out to sea by boat, but unexpectedly bumped into Zhao Yue and the others.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the silver full moon dyed everything in the world with a silvery white luster.
Zhao Yue held the knife in one hand and looked at him coldly.
"Surrender." Wen Liunian said, "You can't escape."
"When you were in the tunnel back then, you should have been killed." Qingqiu's face was grim.
The two red-armored wolves lay on Wen Liunian's shoulders, touching each other's whiskers. A moment later, the golden-armored wolf crawled along his clothes to the ground, swishing into the seaweed.
The little red-armored wolf continued to lie down and bite!
If you surrender at this point, there is only one dead end. Qingqiu let out a strange cry, almost fighting Zhao Yue with a desperate attitude. The dark guards guarded Wen Liunian in the middle, and the Chu army's vanguard chased them all the way, capturing all those confidantes.
When the swords collided, countless flames splashed. Although Qingqiu said that his martial arts were insidious, he was obviously not Zhao Yue's opponent today, and after a few hundred moves, he gradually fell into a disadvantage. The flames flickered on the road in the distance, and the dark guard was pleasantly surprised after seeing it clearly: "It's General Shen!"
Seeing Qingqiu fleeing in a hurry before, they had already guessed that the outcome of the battle had been decided, and now that it was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that there were more and more people on the other side, Qingqiu was even more flustered, so the offensive became more aggressive, but he didn't expect that a flaw happened to be revealed, and Zhao Yue stabbed him in the ribs.
The sound of bones breaking came, and Qingqiu spit out blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground from mid-air.
The Chu army quickly stepped forward and surrounded it in the very center.
"Are you okay?" Wen Liunian ran forward.
"Of course it's fine." Zhao Yue patted him on the head and walked over with him.
Shen Qianfan also led the army and rushed over. Hearing the noise here, he came to see what happened, but he didn't expect to see Qingqiu being captured as soon as he came, so he was overjoyed.
"Chu Cheng has also been beheaded." The vanguard said, "We were ambushed by sea monkeys. Fortunately, there is a master."
"Thank you so much this time." Shen Qianfan clasped his fists, "I will definitely report this to the emperor and ask for credit for the master."
"It's not necessary to ask for credit, it's what I should do." Zhao Yue smiled, and put his arms around Wen Liunian's shoulders.
Qingqiu knelt on the ground, looked around dejectedly, her eyes became more and more red, and finally looked at Zhao Yue ferociously: "Do you know that my biological father is not Yunduanhun?"
Wen Liunian's heart went blank for an instant, there were hundreds of soldiers of the Chu army here, if he dragged out the former emperor, there would be trouble again.
Seeing that Wen Liunian's eyes were wrong, the dark guard quickly dropped three darts in his hands to attack, but Qingqiu had already sneered and said, "Do you know who was the real Bai back then..." Before the word Bai He could finish, the words "Bai He" spread across his neck. Come for a burst of crispy coolness.
The venom quickly flowed to the limbs and bones along the blood, the whole person was stiff and his mouth was open, except for the eyeballs, he couldn't even move a finger. Even with all his strength, his voice could only produce a hoarse tone.
The dark guard held the dart in surprise, he hadn't had time to act yet, what's going on, could it be that there is an expert to help
Wen Liunian was also a little confused.
The golden armored wolf climbed down from Qingqiu, swished back to Wen Liunian, rubbed the little red dot beside him, and avenged you!
The little red-armoured wolf shook his whiskers, good!
Wen Liunian: "..."
The dark guard was straightforward and knocked Qingqiu out with a palm, so as not to cause more trouble.
Chu Cheng's head was found on the ship, and the rebels on the island were escorted onto the big ship in batches, ready to be sent to Dakun City to wait for their execution.
The Chu army had won a complete victory. When the fishermen in the East China Sea heard the news, they were overjoyed and drove their boats to deliver the fish. The once desolate sea area was now full of laughter and laughter, and even merchant ships came around to join in the fun.
"This time it's really time for Lao Da to be in charge." Chu Yuan said, "Otherwise, if the two of them are allowed to escape, I'm afraid there will be headaches in the future."
"It's just a coincidence." Zhao Yue said, "Besides, it's a matter of his own duty, so the emperor doesn't need to take it to heart."
"If you have military exploits, you will naturally be rewarded." Chu Yuan said, "I don't know what the master wants?"
"Ahem." Wen Liunian coughed beside him.
"I want to take Xiaoliuzi to Yunnan to have a look." Zhao Yue said, "Then I will go to Jiangnan, Shuzhong and Cangmang City, and I ask the emperor to promise."
Wen Liunian's eyes flickered.
Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I only promise to give you one year."
Mr. Wen nodded desperately, okay, okay.
"Then come back to Wangcheng." Chu Yuan said, "If it's a day later, I will order all grilled fish shops in the whole country to close."
Wen Liunian: "..."
Chu Yuan smiled and patted him: "Go, I've been exhausted for the past few years, go and have a good rest, and when I go to Sichuan in the future, I will say hello to Palace Master Qin on my behalf."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Yue and Wen Liunian looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
A few days later, Qingqiu died strangely and violently in the prison. Ye Jin inspected and said: "I committed suicide, probably because I had hidden poison in my body. I know that death is inevitable, so I want to have fun."
Chu Yuan nodded, and didn't ask any more questions about the matter, but ordered him to be brought back to Dakun City to whip his corpse and show it to the public as a punishment.
That afternoon, Ye Jin was grinding pearls in the courtyard, when Wen Liunian pushed the door and walked in: "Master Gu."
"Why are you here, my lord?" Ye Jin washed his hands, "Qian Feng went to learn martial arts with the master, and he will go there together as an adult."
"The sun is too hot." Wen Liunian sat at the table and sorted the pearls for him according to their size and color. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Thank you."
"There is nothing to thank." Ye Jin shook his head, "Good and evil are rewarded, not to mention the crime of treason, just say that Qingqiu has collaborated with pirates to kill innocent fishermen these years, bullied men and women to snatch children, even if he dies ten times Not too much."
"Master Gu doesn't want to know the reason?" Wen Liunian asked tentatively.
After Qingqiu was captured, he was imprisoned in a prison for serious offenders, and no one could approach him except Chu Yuan. Forced to do nothing, Wen Liunian had no choice but to go to Ye Jin.
"Okay." Ye Jin said without asking a word.
Wen Liunian was a little surprised.
"But it's cheap for him." Ye Jin put a small bottle of poison on the table, "The emperor originally planned to cut him into pieces next month as a sacrifice to the innocent people in Donghai who died tragically."
Three days later, Qingqiu died in prison, and some things became secrets forever.
"I heard from Qian Fan what happened when Qingqiu was arrested that day, so I'm not surprised." Ye Jin smiled. Outsiders may not understand the meaning of that sentence, they just think it is Qingqiu talking nonsense, but insiders understand it immediately. Coupled with Wen Liunian's nervousness about this matter, he could guess the inside story.
"No one will tell the emperor about such a small incident, and he won't understand it either." Ye Jin said, "My lord, don't take it to heart."
"Thank you, Valley Master." Wen Liunian's eyes lit up. Up to now, whether Qingqiu was talking nonsense that day or really knew the inside story is no longer important. The rebel army has stopped fighting, and the current East China Sea is no longer the previous East China Sea.
The people are all waiting to have a happy life.
On the open space of the island, Zhao Yue accepted the move and landed, Shen Qianfeng smiled and said: "Accept."
"It's me who wants to thank the lord for his mercy." Zhao Yue said, "Sun Moon Villa is unique in lightness kung fu, and it really lives up to its reputation."
"No matter how fast the Qinggong is, it is not as fast as the master's knife." Shen Qianfeng said, "Except for the master, there is no one in this world who can practice the red willow knife to tenth percentile."
"That day, I just wanted to protect Xiao Liuzi from being hurt by sea monkeys." Zhao Yue said, "I didn't expect to be able to practice the saber technique completely by mistake."
"So in the dark, everything probably has a definite number." After a short rest, Shen Qianfeng handed him a seashell, "Xiao Jin gave it to you."
"Gu Master Ye?" Zhao Yue was surprised.
"He doesn't like to be called brother." Shen Qianfeng patted him on the shoulder, stood up and walked back, "It's only a small gift, the master should not dislike it."
The pattern of seashells on the palm of his hand was exquisite. After a long time, Zhao Yue shook his head with a smile, lying on the beach with his arms pillowed, watching the clouds in the sky change with the wind.
What the adoptive father said at the beginning was true. In this world, no one is a fool.
Two months later, the army of Chu returned to court. Before leaving, Chu Yuan personally decreed that the Yun Mansion, which was destroyed more than 20 years ago, was rebuilt as it was, and turned into a charitable hall. The people in the East China Sea were exempted from taxes for the next three years, and the warships of the Chu army patrolled the sea every day, making the enemy and sea bandits fearful, and they disappeared without a trace.
The story of King Daming spread again, but this time Zhao Yue's name was added. Killing Qingqiu and Chu Cheng one by one, holding Mr. Wen in his arms, but he is really a master of masters... After all, Mr. Wen eats a lot, even though he looks thin, he should be quite heavy.
Duan Baiyue also brought people back to Yunnan, and the people were muttering in their hearts, this time it can be regarded as a battle achievement, why did they not ask for any rewards, it is different from the previous style.
"Let's go." Ye Jin pulled his brother and told him solemnly, "Don't see each other again."
"I know." Chu Huang's head hurts.
Shang Yunze declined the imperial court's reward, and only asked for a small stone carving for his little wood, and rode back to Cangwu City together, agreeing to wait for Wen Liunian and Zhao Yue there, and then go to the mountains to drink and enjoy the flowers together.
The dark guard bundled up a small bundle, and bid farewell to everyone beaming, and couldn't wait to go back to Shuzhong—I haven't seen the young master and the young palace master for two years, and I really miss him very much. I don't know if the Palace Master has been overthrown, we don't expect it at all.
Ye Jin was brought back to Sun Moon Villa by Shen Qianfeng. Before parting, he did not forget to remind his brother again that baldness cannot be cured, especially middle baldness.
Chu Yuan: "..."
Shen Qianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stuffed the person into the carriage.
The vast East China Sea stretches as far as the eye can see, Wen Liunian sits in the cabin, holding a teacup to enjoy the scenery and listen to the waves, flickering around, feeling extremely relaxed.
The two first visited their master on Luoying Island, then went to visit Aunt Zihua and Haihuaniang, and then set off for the southwest.
The winter snow is falling in the sky, and it is almost the end of the year.
"Is it cold?" Zhao Yue held his hand.
"It's not cold." Wen Liunian pulled off his collar to show him, "I brought three pieces of warm jade."
The coachman opened the curtain and came in. Originally, he wanted to ask the two of them if they wanted to rest, but was frightened out.
Don't tell me he is the number one talented person in Da Chu, why is he so bold and unrestrained, he started to take off his clothes in the car, and even tried his best to get in front of the big head.
Mr. Wen has innocent eyes: "I haven't done anything yet."
Zhao Yue smiled and reached out to pinch his chin: "Save it for the night."
Wen Liunian scratched his face in embarrassment: "Oh."
Zhao Yue took him into his arms and hugged him very tightly.
Two red-armored wolves lay on the small porcelain plate, gnawing around a piece of minced meat.
I'm going back to Miaojiang...
