Time passed quickly, and it was almost evening in a blink of an eye.
The sky is covered with dark clouds and a storm is coming.
Hangzhou, Governor's Office.
A large number of officers and soldiers rushed towards the camp gate from the official road. When the porter on duty saw that the leader was Qi Jiguang, he quickly sent someone to notify Hu Zongxian and went to lead Qi Jiguang's horse himself, calling him "general".
Qi Jiguang nodded and dismounted: "Is Hu Butang here?"
The concierge said respectfully: "We are signing the pledge room. In the afternoon, twenty-three criminal officials were beheaded. Zhejiang's officialdom is in chaos, and the ministers have to work hard."
Qi Jiguang looked back at the group of prisoners in the prison car behind him, and secretly thought that those who are capable should do more work. He then ordered Ren Jin to put the people in the car into prison, and went to the Governor's Office to see Hu Zongxian in person.
"Yuan Jing."
As soon as Qi Jiguang entered the room, Hu Zongxian stepped down from the table and asked seriously: "How is the battle going?"
"Don't worry about the department."
Qi Jiguang clasped his fists and saluted: "Peng Feng, the prefect of Ningbo, conspired to collude with the Japanese and lured 20,000 Japanese pirates into the city, burning, killing and looting, killing and injuring more than a thousand people! Fortunately, the Thirteenth Taibao Cao Jinxing led Lu Yi and Yang Xi arrived in time to turn the tide! Now two people
All Japanese pirates have been killed, the bandit leaders Matsuura Weiming, Mao Haifeng and others have been captured and imprisoned, and the siege of Ninghai has been lifted..."

Hu Zongxian breathed a long sigh of relief: "Ninghai is lucky, Zhejiang is lucky."
"yes."
Qi Jiguang had a trace of joy on his face, and then told the story about the Matsuura clan and Frankie being the backers of the Japanese pirates: "This matter still needs to be reported to the ministers, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
"I see."
Hu Zongxian quickly returned to the big eucalyptus and sat down. He picked up his pen and began to write: "I will write a formal statement and submit it to the Holy One. Where is Cao Qianhu? Invite him over and I want to express my gratitude in person!"
Qi Jiguang said: "Although the Japanese pirates in Ninghai have been wiped out, the situation in Taizhou is urgent. After they left the city, they went to the Taizhou camp to assist in the defense. When the officials handed over the prisoners, they had to rush back to Taizhou overnight. Lou Nan sent a message, and Wang Zhi and his four hundred Japanese ships joined forces.
If we haven't retreated to Zhoushan, I'm afraid some conspiracy is brewing and we need to fight it quickly..."
"That's fine."
The military situation was urgent, so Hu Zongxian stopped talking and spoke quickly: "When the war is over, I will invite Cao Qianhu to come to Hangzhou and allow me to express my gratitude."
"good."
Qi Jiguang smiled: "I will definitely invite him over!"
While he was talking, he handed over a document hastily written on the road, which contained the specific process of Peng Feng and others' collusion with the Japanese pirates: "Then, please resign first, please take care of yourself!"
Hu Zongxian waved his hand and was about to speak when suddenly a slightly shrill voice came from outside the door and said leisurely: "Take me with you."
Hearing this voice, Hu Zongxian was slightly surprised, and Qi Jiguang was also stunned.
The two of them looked outside the door and saw Shi Shiran, wearing a bright red official uniform, walking in.
Behind him were two tough-minded people from all walks of life, looking as if they were about to kick the team out.
——It turned out to be Yang Luoshi, the eunuch in charge of Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and Zhejiang Shipping Department.
"Eunuch Yang, what are you..."
Behind Yang Luoshi stood Lu Fu, the closest person to Jiajing. Anyone who was involved in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty had to give face.
Even Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, is no exception.
Qi Jiguang and Hu Zongxian were both a little surprised. What was the point of bringing him along?
"Didn't Cao Qianhu tell you?"
Yang Luoshi strode in, took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Jiguang: "This is his personal letter."
The two gangsters were guarding the door, neither humble nor arrogant. Judging from their stature and strength, they were obviously the leaders of a gang, and at worst they were at the level of elders.
Qi Jiguang was doubtful, so he took the letter and took a look - he didn't know Cao Jinxing's handwriting, but only a few of them knew the content of the letter, so there was no doubt that it was Cao Jinxing's own handwriting.
Qi Jiguang read it line by line and soon understood what Cao Jinxing was thinking. He actually asked Yang Luoshi to help him!
Even he couldn't help but admire Cao Jinxing's courage. This eunuch in charge was highly regarded by Lu Fu. He had learned the "Bingxuanjian", the true teaching method, and was likely to be the one to take over the position of the eunuch in the future. He actually dared to invite him!
What's even more interesting is that Yang Luoshi actually agreed to it, and he seemed quite happy with it.
During the Jiajing Dynasty, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were as close as one family.
Yang Luoshi was born in Da Nei and was considered half a Dongchang native, while Cao Jinxing was one of the thirteen Jinyi guards in the Zhenfu Division who were most trusted by the emperor.
In addition, Lu Fu taught Cao Jinxing's unique martial art "Yin Yuan Jue", and the relationship is even closer.
Qi Jiguang understood a little bit
"Our Cao Qianhu never fights an uncertain battle. Last time he lent me the title of deputy general manager, this time he even tried to take advantage of me..."
Yang Luoshi shook his head and laughed, and said: "He begged me, and he used the friendship of half a master from his ancestors to get close to me, and he also used the righteousness of the family and the country to persuade me. I really can't refuse. How about it? General Qi, I
Can I accompany you?"
"certainly!"
Qi Jiguang said happily: "I have heard about my father-in-law's magical skills for a long time. It is a blessing for the army and people of Taizhou to have my father-in-law take the trouble to do it."
Upon hearing what he said, Yang Luoshi also stopped joking and said: "Cao Qianhu's letter has explained the situation. Just in case, I have invited these two righteous men from the world to help. This is the Susha Gang.
The leader of the gang, Zhao Lingshan, and this is the elder of the Giant Whale Gang, Zhang Tianyan, are both top leaders in the gang and have unique skills that can help."
"I've met General Qi!"
The leading figures of the two groups saluted Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang returned the courtesy and said, "Thank you both for your help. Qi Jiguang is deeply grateful!"
"The general is serious."
Zhao Lingshan grinned and said: "We are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty. We assist the army to fight against foreign enemies. This is what we should do. No need to say thank you."
"That's what Lao Zhao said."
Zhang Tianyan also said: "If we let the Japanese pirates continue to disturb us like this, we won't have to do business anymore. Even if the general gives orders, the common people can only rely on their orders and will never have second thoughts!"
"good!"
The shout was made by Hu Zongxian. Seeing the harmony between the army and the people below, Hu Zongxian, who had been bothered for two days by the bad news about the two dozen corrupt officials who were colluding with Japanese pirates and making money, finally smiled: "The army and the people are of the same mind, why?"
I'm worried that the Japanese pirates won't be eliminated, but I'm here to help some strong people! Bring some wine!"
A clerk quickly walked into the deposit room carrying a large jar of wine.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hu Zongxian took out five wine bowls and filled them one by one. Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.
Qi Jiguang wiped his mouth and said boldly: "Let's go!"
Yang Luoshi said: "General Qi, there is no need to worry." He looked outside the door and saw a giant eagle soaring under the leaden sky!
It is clearly Cao Jinxing's mount.
The vulture is confused.
Yang Luoshi smiled and said: "He sent a mount to pick him up..."
Hangzhou is covered with dark clouds.
Under the same sky, it is already pouring rain in Taizhou.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Suddenly, a low shout came from the General Military Mansion and drifted into the torrential rain.
Deputy Commander Lou Nan looked at the spy in front of him in disbelief, shocked and angry.
"Report to the deputy commander!"
The spy was also extraordinary. Even in the face of the officer's fury, he remained coherent and repeated quickly: "I just received a message from the Japanese spy. I don't know what method Wang Zhi used to cure the sea beast. The spy heard it with his own ears."
It's roaring, just under Zhoushan Island! There are also Fukuda-ryu masters entering Zhoushan. The man is holding the Japanese demon sword Muramasa. It is said that he is Fukuda Tsubasa, the rising star of Fukuda-ryu. He has long been famous in Japan. It is rumored that he is the first swordsman in Japan.
Fukuda Masashichi succeeds!"
"How can this be?"
Lou Nan said in surprise: "The general just severely wounded that monster, how could it happen so quickly... Could it be that he fed it a mountain of medicine?"
"Deputy Commander, the reason is not important now."
Cao Jinxing looked out the window at the heavy rain: "This kind of weather is not suitable for artillery battles. We must prepare in advance!"
Ancient artillery was ignited with fuses. It might not be ignited even if it was wet, let alone heavy rain.
The artillery that is most capable of fighting against giant beasts is of no use tonight. This is God helping the Japanese pirates.
Cao Jinxing could control the eight qi, but it was impossible to change such a large-scale celestial phenomenon. It would be very disadvantageous for the Ming army to fight in the rain.
"yes."
Lu Yi also said: "This kind of weather makes 'General Red Lotus' useless, and the bull ghosts are bound to become more rampant. Knowing that General Qi is not around, they may take the opportunity to attack the city. The deputy commander needs to prepare early."
Lou Nan quickly came to his senses. Being Qi Jiguang's deputy was impossible.
He knew very well that he might not be able to wait until the general returned to Taizhou.
The Japanese pirates must have spent a lot of money to rehabilitate Niugui in such an urgent manner, so it would be impossible to cure him and just let him watch!
"Pass my military order! Quickly adjust——"
"Report!"
Before Lou Nan finished speaking, a soldier ran in quickly and said anxiously: "Deputy Commander, the Japanese pirate warship is approaching with sails! There are roars of giant beasts under the East China Sea, and they are about to land!"
In the General Military Mansion, it suddenly became quiet.
Lou Nan looked at the people below. In addition to Cao Jinxing, Lu Yi, and Yang Xi, there were also Taizhou military attachés, soldiers and soldiers, Qianhu, Baihu, etc., as well as Taizhou Haidao Commander-in-Chief Zhu Yichuan, who was in charge of naval battles.
The general is not here and the artillery cannot be used, but there are still thirteen Taibo, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Shadow Guard, and the Kaido General Soldier.
Lou Nan quickly calmed down and continued to order each battalion to prepare and defend the city!
He knew that Cao Jinxing had written a letter to Hangzhou and that he had sent a spiritual vulture to follow the invisible falcon to pick him up. He believed it would be effective.
Then, we must delay it until General Qi comes back with his masters!
No matter what plans the Japanese pirates have, as long as they persist, what can you do to me?!
Lou Nan led the crowd out of the General Military Mansion and rushed towards the city tower.
Cao Jinxing and Lu Yi walked last.
"Huh? Where is Miss Qin?"
Lu Yi looked around and didn't find Qin Xuanji, and was a little puzzled.
Cao Jinxing said calmly: "When it started to rain, I had a premonition that something was going to be bad, so I asked her to call helpers."
"helper?"
Lu Yi said strangely: "The distance between Wuliu Island and Wuliu Island is not very close. This time we come and go..."
Cao Jinxing smiled mysteriously: "When did I say that this helper is a human being?"
"Um?"
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask more questions, but Cao Jinxing had already rushed forward.
"Wait for me!"
Taizhou's southern coast, Xiling Island.
This island is only about five miles away from the mainland, and there is no danger within it. The islanders have long been scattered, leaving only an empty island. It is a place that even Japanese pirates look down upon.
But no one knows that there is a shocking treasure hidden under this lonely island!
Qin Xuanji wore a raincoat, sat on the back of the shark with ease, and landed on the island again.
When she landed, the shark was waiting at the edge very thoughtfully, ready to take her back.
Qin Xuanji waved her hands, smiled and said helplessly: "No, you can leave quickly. He doesn't like me walking too close to other small animals. If he gets angry, it will be bad if he hurts you."
The shark seemed to understand and reluctantly left.
Qin Xuanji used Qinggong to reach a rock in the easternmost part of the island. She took out a small black conch from her arms, put it to her mouth and blew it. The sound of the conch was desolate, far-reaching, and extremely penetrating.
Soon, there was a response from below the seabed.
It was an ethereal whale call that seemed to come from ancient times!
As if impatient, before Qin Xuanji blew the third whistle, a huge beast with a body length of fifteen feet rushed up from the bottom of the sea and jumped out of the sea!
The huge figure blocks out the sky and the sun, and the huge waves splashed by the whale are even more impactful!
The king of the sea, the strange beast, the sky-eating whale!
Qin Xuanji had been prepared for it. The moment its silhouette appeared on the sea, she had already jumped into the air. When the Sky-Swallowing Whale fell back and splashed several feet of waves, she landed gently on the back of the giant whale, squatted down and stroked its broad
's back.
Long time no see, I miss you very much.
The Sky-Swallowing Whale happily slapped its tail, circled in the sea, greeted its master, and then carried Qin Xuanji on its back to Wuliu Island.
"Wait! Xiaohei."
Qin Xuanji hurriedly said: "It's time to go home, let's go fight the bad guys first, okay?"
The master said whatever he said, and Xiao Hei stopped obediently.
Qin Xuanji pointed to the distance.
Xiao Hei let out a whale cry of joy, which carried for ten miles. All the creatures in the sea spontaneously moved out of the way, as if to greet their king!
Xiao Hei slapped his tail, splashing huge waves, and quickly rushed towards Taizhou City!
The girl stood quietly on the back of the giant beast. There was a huge difference between the two. Her figure was so petite, yet she looked so tall.
