She wiped away the fresh blood from the corner of her lips, smiled and turned her head, leaning on the rockery, pointing at Ning Ji, towards Ning Yi.
"It turns out that His Highness still has someone he really cares about, so..."
She laughed and turned around, the laughter accompanied by the blood on her lips, submerged in the night.
"Please, take care of your precious brother."
On March 16th in the 20th year of Changxi, Anlanyu in the South China Sea.
A fast boat sailed silently in that calm sea, its sharp bow was like a sharp blade, cutting through the darkness of the night and the undercurrents of the waves.
In the dead of night, someone on the bow was still awake.
The man was holding the bow of the boat, staring at the end of the world, and his robe was slightly damp from the waves stirred up by the sea wind.
The direction he was looking at was Tianshengzhinan, which was stirred up by a woman, and that woman was his wife.
The moonlight shines on his cheeks, illuminating Yan Huaishi's delicate eyebrows. This head of the South China Sea Shipping Department and the head of the first family, who spends the night alone, listening to the wind and dew at night, has a faint haze and bitterness between his brows that cannot be resolved.
Bitter his wife, never out of the ordinary, doing unexpected things.
He knew that Hua Qiong was "missing", but he thought that Hua Qiong was really defeated, and he didn't want to face the strife in the Southern Fujian Army, avoid disasters and go to the mountains, and in his heart he was very much in favor of Hua Qiong's decision to retreat bravely and not cause trouble, how could he know? ... Who knew that what she wanted to do was to kill her head!
As early as a month ago, he suddenly received a message from Hua Qiong, a simple document—a document from Heli.
He was like a thunderbolt, and before he had time to write to ask why, he received a second secret letter from her.
In the letter, she told him everything, and she also said that when the first letter was sent, she also sent a copy to the South China Sea chief envoy's office. In the reconciliation document, she expressed her dissatisfaction with the Yan family and him Resolutely ask for reconciliation.
She said that the reason why he left first was to give him an excuse to go to sea frequently, transfer the Yan family's property and contacts, and then leave immediately, so that he can no longer stay in Tiansheng.
Only now did he understand why since the 16th year of Changxi, she tried her best to persuade her, saying that the South China Sea is full of merchants, there are many large and small merchants, and the Yan family has already dominated here, and there is no room for development. With the convenience of taking charge of the Yan family and the Ship Affairs Department, he expanded outwards and established a good overseas world, and chose for him the Voro Kingdom across the sea from Tiansheng, where the climate is suitable and the products are rich, but the people are still uncivilized and A strong military regime is just an opportunity for a good man to expand his territory. Thinking about him, the Yan family is also the descendant of the royal family, a legacy of a generation of emperors, why is he willing to be subordinated to others, and has been tortured by the government from generation to generation
He was also moved when he heard it. The Yan family has been suppressed by the government for many years, and he has been bullied by the Yan family for many years. It was not until he was lucky enough to meet Wei Zhi that he became what he is today. He found a way out, and he also found a way out for the Yan family, so from the 16th year of Changxi, the Yan family went to sea more frequently, slowly transferred their property and connections, and developed into the largest force in Woluo. Not long ago, he sent his mother Also sent it over.
Then there was Heli, but he didn't want to leave yet. He always wanted to go to Fujian and leave as soon as he saw Hua Qiong, or he could take her with him. He kept procrastinating until two days ago, when he arrived at the Ueno Ship Affairs Division During the inspection, a group of men in black appeared in the Department of Shipping Affairs like ghosts, indeed they came out of the tunnel, and then took him away in broad daylight. I got on the boat, took many detours, and took many inexplicable routes. Until now, I set sail to the sea and headed in the direction of Woluo.
He didn't know any of these people, and the other party ignored him, and just protected him all the way as he fled. He probably either sent by Hua Qiong or belonged to Wei Zhi. Needless to say, there must be Wei Zhi's handwriting in this.
Up to now, he has nothing to say. Whether it is Hua Qiong or Wei Zhi, he and the Yan family have already taken precautions to protect him and the Yan family. He has been kept in the dark for a long time, Wei Zhi is fine, Xiang Chencheng's mansion, don't say it easily, but Hua Qiong is his pillow person, and he has kept it a secret. Since getting married, he has gathered less and separated more, and now he has to do this. Beheading on an errand, but where did he put his husband
It was late at night, Yan Huaishi thought about it but couldn't sleep, he patted the railing, heaved a long sigh, worried about Hua Qiong's safety for a while, wondered why this woman was so brave, wished to run to southern Fujian and drag her away Come back and talk about it.
When he was thinking this way, he suddenly saw a light in front of him.
He was startled—this is not a regular route to sea, why would a big ship suddenly appear
The light appeared suddenly, like a will-o'-the-wisp falling on the vast sea in an instant. It was obvious that the ship had turned off all lights and waited in front of it, and only turned on the lights when its own ship approached.
There was a sound of orderly footsteps behind them, and the group of men in black who had been hiding everywhere appeared like ghosts in time, with their hands turned over, each holding a bow, staring vigilantly at the big ship ahead.
There is nowhere to hide in the vast sea, Yan Huaishi stared at the big ship without any flags, his palms gradually sweated.
The two ships approached, but the bow of the other ship was empty, Yan Huaishi was surprised, when the door of the other ship's cabin opened, a figure appeared, who seemed to be holding something in his hand, and pointed at the side of the ship without saying a word. spread.
"boom."
A few streams of light, a loud noise, and thick smoke rose from the sea, and Yan Huaishi's big ship immediately tilted.
The ship was blown out of the bilge!
"Madman!" Yan Huaishi scolded angrily, how can there be such a person who blows up the boat as soon as they meet each other without saying a word
A few men in black rushed over, held him up without saying a word, and then left. It seems that these people are also well-trained and are prepared for any emergencies. The ship was bombed, and there was no one to check. People carried Yan Changtian, and a group of people carried Yan Huaishi away, quickly put down the boat and sent him up.
However, there was a strange and familiar laugh from the bow of the opposite ship, and the smoke caused by the fireballs dissipated. At some point, dozens of small boats appeared in all directions, and there were countless soldiers on each boat, half-kneeling and holding arrows, staring at this Beside, there was a faint light on the bowstring, which turned out to be a rocket.
On the sea, a lone boat floats, there is a big ship in front, there is no retreat behind, and there are rockets surrounded by iron barrels, Yan Huaishi closed his eyes and sighed, Xin Dao actually died here today, he only wished not to see Hua Qiong before he died .
