"Sir." Cao Mian stood on a deserted beach not far outside Yingzhou City and looked at the sea. The sea was calm in the early morning, and the sea and sky in the distance formed a line.

Cao Mian turned back to look at the visitor and asked, "How is the situation?"

The young man stood behind Cao Mian and said in a deep voice: "Yingzhou City has fallen into Fang Yan's hands, and the port has also fallen into their hands. All large ships that can travel long distances are unable to leave the port."

Hearing this, Cao Mian frowned slightly and asked, "What did they do?"

The young man said: "They dragged many ships to block the waterway out of the port. They set up roadblocks under the waterway and sank several ships, and all the big ships had their sails removed and their oars removed."

Cao Mian was silent for a while, and then he laughed softly.

"Sir?" The young man looked at Cao Mian worriedly. Could it be that your Lord is angry?

Cao Mian raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, then sighed and said, "It seems that he has made up his mind not to let us take anyone away."

The young man nodded silently.

Cao Mian raised his head with cold eyes, "If that's the case, then I don't have to be polite."

"Please give me your instructions."

Cao Mian said coldly: "Send the order and attack Yingzhou City at all costs!"

"Yes, sir." The young man accepted, turned around and left quickly.

Cao Mian raised his hand to block the sunlight above his head, looked at the blue sky and murmured: "Yingzhou is not going well, I hope it won't be like this elsewhere. I don't believe in God. I don't believe that God only loves Mr. Xie."

When tens of thousands of troops suddenly emerged to besiege Yingzhou City, Cao Mian had already boarded a ship and quietly left Yingzhou Island.

Cao Mian stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the vast scene of sea and sky in front of him, silent.

The young man stood behind him silently. He knew that the adult was not in a good mood at this time.

The importance of Yingzhou and the 60,000 soldiers and horses on the island to them is self-evident, otherwise your Excellency would not have made this trip in person.

Now time was wasted, but no soldiers or horses were brought out, but they themselves lost many people.

How can you feel good?

Cao Mian supported the side of the ship and whispered: "Perhaps it was wrong to choose Yingzhou as the training location?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "Sir, why should you belittle yourself? There are spies from the imperial court and the national army everywhere in the Central Plains. If it were not for Yingzhou, we would not have many usable soldiers and horses."

Cao Mian said: "Having said that, we have invested a lot of money in Yingzhou over the years. Now that we are forced to give up, it is really..."

The young man consoled him: "Sir, you don't have to think too much. After all, Yingzhou is isolated overseas, and the imperial court may not really be able to spend much effort to take care of it. This time we are in a hurry and were caught off guard. It is still unclear who will belong to us in the future."

"You're right." Cao Mian's depression was obviously only for a moment, but he recovered within a few words.

Cao Mian said in a deep voice: "The people of Southern Xinjiang and Gaoyu should have received our news, right?"

The young man nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's good." Cao Mian said: "Since Xie Yan sent Luo Jinyan to Huaizhou, let me see if the Luo family's Qilin'er can support the entire southern Xinjiang on his own."

"Sir, you didn't sleep last night. Why don't you go back to the cabin and rest for a while?" the young man said.

Cao Mian nodded, turned around and walked back to the cabin.

At this moment, two ships were heading in their direction in the distance. Those two ships were obviously much faster than them in terms of size and speed.

Other people on the boat also discovered the two boats and hurriedly came to report, "Sir, someone is chasing us."

Cao Mian said: "I know, speed up."

"yes!"

"That is the warship of Dongzhou Navy." The young man reminded, "I'm afraid it will catch up with us soon. Sir, what should we do?"

Cao Mian said calmly: "Be patient and don't be impatient."

Half an hour later, the two ships caught up with them.

The three ships were separated by a distance of seven to eight feet. Luo Junyao stood on the bow and looked at Cao Mian not far away. He smiled and said: "Master Cao, you run so fast. We haven't had a serious conversation yet."

Cao Mian looked at the girl with a bright smile on the boat opposite, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't asked you yet, how can this girl be so sacred? It seems that she is someone from the imperial court who can mobilize the Dongzhou Navy."

Luo Junyao cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Marquis Wen Ding is welcome, I am Luo Junyao."

"Luo Junyao?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Well, Luo Yun's Luo, Luo Junyao's Junyao."

"It turns out she is the regent princess, disrespectful." Cao Mian said coldly.

The young man standing next to Cao Mian was shocked. It was obvious that Luo Junyao's identity shocked him.

Luo Jun shook his head and smiled: "Marquis Wen Ding is indeed much smarter than your master."

Cao Mian said: "The dog made the princess laugh."

Luo Junyao said: "If you don't smile, Master Ling is quite interesting."

Cao Mian was not angry, he just smiled and said: "Princess, do you want to kill me?"

Luo Junyao said: "You can also ask me not to kill you."

Cao Mian shook his head and said, "It's useless."

"What's useless?" Luo Junyao was startled and asked in confusion.

Cao Mian said: "No matter whether the princess kills me or not, whether I can go back or not, what should happen will definitely happen."

Luo Junyao looked at him, and after a while he asked with some confusion: "Do you have a grudge against the Xie family?"

"No." Cao Mian said.

Luo Junyao nodded, "I've also heard that both Gaozu and the late Emperor treated you well, and there shouldn't be any deep hatred. So, why do you have to cause trouble? If you want to be a leader, you should find a way to persuade

I don't want to kill you. After all, when a person dies, there is nothing."

Cao Mian smiled and said, "Princess, you might as well take a guess."

Luo Junyao said: "Like Xue Ya, are you a member of some organization that wants to resist the court?"

Cao Mian smiled and said nothing, obviously her guess was wrong.

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know Bai Jingrong?"

Qu Fang, who was standing next to Luo Junyao, glanced at her coldly. Cao Mian was also startled, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I did see the grace of Dongling Shuangshu back then, but we didn't have any friendship."

Luo Junyao sighed: "Then I don't know why you are here."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cao Mian's eyes were distant and he said lightly: "Maybe there is no reason at all, it's just that I want to do this."

"..." So, they met a psycho?

Cao Mian met her straightforward gaze and said calmly without hesitation: "Back then, your father and I followed Gaozu at about the same time."

"You want to tell a story?" Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Can I come over and listen?"

Cao Mian smiled and said, "If you dare to come over, you might as well give it a try."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Junyao jumped up from the boat.

The girl's figure was light, her toes touched the sea, and she landed on the boat on her side in a moment.

The next moment, Qu Fang also fell behind Luo Junyao.

He was obviously much better at Qinggong than Luo Junyao. He didn't need to rely on strength at all for such a long distance. He arrived almost at the same time even though he was obviously later than Luo Junyao.

Cao Mian's eyes lingered on Qu Fang for a moment, and after thinking for a moment he said: "This should be Mobei Divine Sword Qu Fang, Mr. Qu?"

Luo Jun said: "Master Cao is really powerful."

Cao Mian sighed and said, "If I were really powerful, I wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the princess."

Luo Jun waved his hands and said modestly: "Master Cao has spoken harshly. The main reason is that your son is relatively simple. Surprise is not a big skill."

"..." The people following Cao Mian looked at Luo Junyao with a strange expression. This was the first time they heard someone say that the eldest son was honest.

"So, there is no such thing as a young master from the East." Cao Mian said with some regret: "Compared with the princess, Jie'er is indeed a bit dull. It's a pity that the children under my knees are not even half as good as the princess. General Luo is so lucky."

Luo Junyao smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you Marquis Wen Ding for the compliment."

"Then Fang Shuo was not killed by Master Dongfang." Cao Mian said.

Luo Jun said: "Master Cao is wise."

The atmosphere on the deck was a bit solemn, and everyone on Cao Mian's side stared at Luo Junyao with unkind expressions, as if they would swarm and capture Luo Junyao as soon as Cao Mian gave the order.

Luo Junyao seemed to have no feeling at all, and said with a smile: "My lord, you can continue the story just now."

Cao Mian looked at her coldly and said, "Princess, do you think I am telling you a story?"

Luo Junyao said: "Since you don't love power, you are not lustful, and you have no grudge against the Xie family. After more than ten years of painstaking and lonely planning, I can only think that you are too idle. Usually this kind of person speaks out.

Most of the reasons are made up by myself to deceive others and myself. It doesn’t matter if you listen to it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t.”

Cao Mian snorted and said, "What can a little girl like you know?"

"Please enlighten me." Luo Junyao said.

Cao Mian said: "Everyone says that Luo Yun was the first to achieve the founding of Emperor Gaozu, followed by Marquis Shang, Duke Cheng again, and then Su Qin. What does the princess think?"
