Sun Jinman was shocked when he discovered that he had accidentally arrived at the Han Navy's stronghold, and quickly ordered to turn around and escape. However, before he had gone far, two large stern ships slowly came up to him and forced him back.
Only then did Sun Jinman realize that he had been followed in the middle of the night.
He couldn't understand why in such a dark night, how could the men of the Han Navy stare at him so accurately! The night above the sea was magnified infinitely, and he couldn't see clearly even more than ten meters in front of him. Moreover, the wind and waves were so loud that he couldn't even see clearly.
He didn't even hear the movement of the Han army's ships paddling behind him, and it was absolutely impossible for the Han army to chase him just by sound.
But no one explained anything to him, and he was escorted into the Han Navy's stronghold by two sterns. Sun Jinman was frightened and taken to the outside of Liu Ling's tent by several black-clothed supervisors. He was very nervous, but Sun Jinman didn't need anyone to teach him.
He knelt down outside the big tent. His legs were numb from kneeling for an hour, and he had to endure hunger while rubbing his legs. Only now did Sun Jinman realize that he was really an idiot for actually diving into someone else's house.
Come to the base camp.
Finally, a supervisor came out of the big tent and told him that the King of Han had let him in.
The King of Han was eating, and Sun Jinman didn't even dare to look at what he was eating. He didn't even dare to look at Liu Ling's face. He knelt on the ground with his butt sticking out of Lao Gao, as if he was in danger.
Ostrich in the sand. I don't know if the phrase "concerned about the head but not the determination" is used to describe ostriches, but it is quite appropriate to describe Sun Jinman.
Liu Ling walked up to Sun Jinman and kicked him in the butt and said: "Gu's two big ships have been following you for half the night. Why... Master Sun is so unfamiliar with the nearby waters? It seems that Gu has to reconsider."
Let me ask you to be our guide... For such a useless person, I might as well throw him into the sea and drown him."
Sun Jinman was so frightened that he trembled and said quickly: "Your Majesty... Actually, the common people want to go to Liuqiu Island overnight to explore the way for Your Majesty."
Liu Ling lowered his head and asked, "Guess, Gu Xin?"
Without waiting for Sun Jinman to answer, Liu Ling asked again: "Do you believe it yourself?"
Sun Jinman hesitated for a while, then raised his butt even higher: "The grassroots themselves... don't believe it either!"
Liu Ling walked back slowly and sat down, squinting his eyes and asked: "Sun Jinman, but Gu is mean to you?"
"No! No! Your Majesty is magnanimous, and he treats the common people with all his heart. It's just that the common people are blinded by lard, and they do such shameless things."
Liu Ling sneered and said: "You are wrong. You are not blinded by the lard. You just feel that you have wronged yourself by helping the orphan."
Liu Ling said word for word: "You still want to find an uninhabited desert island and continue to sit on your Yum King. You still want to kill people and set fires. You still want to call a hundred responses and come and go like the wind!"
Sun Jinman was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat. Although he had not seen Liu Ling's anger, he still couldn't resist the hint of murderous intent in Liu Ling's plain words. This was
A real power of superiority, this kind of pressure is difficult for him to resist. He originally thought that he had killed a lot of people, and he had more or less evil spirits in his body. But these few words were like a knife.
Stab it into his chest and press it against his heart to kill him at any time.
"Do you really think that if you run away, I won't be able to find you?"
Liu Ling sneered: "If Nian hadn't still had kind thoughts in what he said to those pirates last night, you and your three boats would have been blown to pieces and sunk to the bottom of the sea last night!"
Sun Jinman trembled again and said hoarsely: "Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
Liu Ling snorted and said: "Get up and talk, don't you always think that you are an upright man? Why don't you even dare to raise your head in front of me?"
Sun Jin Manonuo said: "The common people... don't dare."
Liu Ling said: "It seems that you still know how to be afraid. I will give you one last chance."
Liu Ling paused and said, "Let's go down and take a nap today to replenish our energy. Tomorrow morning, I will send a boat to Liuqiu to explore the way, with you as the guide. If this is successfully done, the mistakes you have made will be forgotten."
Moreover, I will not regret even a single thing I agreed to do with you before. If you come up with any evil ideas again, don’t blame me for skinning you alive!"
Sun Jinman said quickly: "The common people obey the orders, the common people obey the orders!"
Liu Ling waved his hand and said calmly: "Gu has sent a big ship to pick up the people on Lantau Island. Gu ordered the Quanzhou County Sheriff to allocate 10,000 acres of fertile land to the people of Lantau Island. From today on, you will be on Lantau Island."
The pirates and their families are my subjects of the Han Dynasty. All the people of the Han Dynasty are treated equally. The seeds are sent out from the Quanzhou County Yamen. Within three years, only 10% of the harvest will be collected in taxes each year. The government will give you one year to pay back.
The seeds will be paid after three years according to the laws of the Han Dynasty!"
"Think about your children!"
The coldness in Liu Ling's voice gradually dissipated: "I know that a Liuqiu woman is pregnant with your flesh and blood. Is it possible that you want the child to be born without a father?"
"get out!"
Liu Ling said helplessly.
Sun Jinman got up and exited the big tent in embarrassment. When he was blown by the sea breeze, goosebumps suddenly appeared on his body soaked with sweat. Sun Jinman shivered and suddenly found that his crotch was also a little wet. He laughed to himself,
It turns out that I was afraid of death even if I was afraid of it. I always thought that I was not afraid of death and had no worries. But... only two of the pirates knew that the Liuqiu woman had destroyed his own flesh and blood.
The King of Han arrived at Lantau Island yesterday. How did he know about it?
Sun Jinman knew that he had committed many murders and arson, and he was afraid of retribution, so he just told his two confidants and asked them to stay and take care of the Liuqiu woman. Who would have thought that the King of Han would find out so quickly.
Returning to the camp arranged for him, Sun Jinman thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why the King of Han knew his affairs so well, and those two confidants would definitely not tell them. They both had families in Quanzhou, and those two
Everyone knows that if they tell anyone, their family members will not end well.
After thinking about it, Sun Jinman leaned on the chair and fell asleep.
In fact, it was easy to find answers to things he couldn't figure out. The reason why Liu Ling knew Sun Jinman's secret was because Sun Jinman's Liuqiu woman said it herself. Now that he knew that this woman was Sun Jinman's woman, what else could the Supervisory Yuan have?
Can't ask?
Sun Jinman slept very restlessly, knowing that he had no choice.
After sleeping until night, Sun Jin got up, ate some cold food and went to Liu Ling's tent.
"Your Majesty, the common people have something to ask of you!"
Sun Jinman knelt down and said.
Liu Ling put down the book in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The ordinary people are willing to serve the prince, even if they are broken into pieces. I just ask... I just ask the prince, for the sake of my old age and having a son, find a place where no one knows me to settle my woman. As long as I, Sun Jinman, have an issue,
Even if I die, I have no regrets."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "How do you know that you will definitely die?"
Sun Jinman shook his head and said: "I have done too many murders and arson in my life. In fact, all I want is to find an island to live in without being beheaded by my enemies. Although I do not harm the people of Quanzhou,
But I have offended too many people over the years. I wanted to never return to Quanzhou or go to land for the rest of my life. I would let the women and children go back after I die, so that they can be safe for the rest of their lives."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you achieve great success this time, I will buy you a house in Taiyuan, thousands of miles away, and no one will know you there."
Sun Jinman kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Ling snorted and said: "What you are going to do is actually not very dangerous. As long as you ensure that the Gushui Division's army lands in Liuqiu, you don't need to do other things. Didn't you say that the wind is blowing just right these days? As long as you explore
Back on the road, it won't take long for Gu to conquer Liuqiu and the Three Kingdoms. Then you can go to Taiyuan to live a stable life."
Sun Jinman wiped away his tears and said: "Your Majesty is magnanimous!"
Early on the next morning, Sun Jinman led 500 elite soldiers of the Han Navy on a 艨艉 battleship and three four-wheeled Flying Tiger battleships sailed out of the Navy Dazhai towards the direction of Liuqiu. Sun Jinman led
There are masters of drawing among the people who will draw this route. Their mission is to secretly explore the best landing place, and as time allows, as clearly as possible to find out the situation of the Liuqiu Three Kingdoms. Especially the Shanbei Kingdom.
, If you choose to land here this time, you can’t be ignorant of the situation in Shanbei Country.
Liu Ling waited for ten days to go to sea this time.
Ten days later, a tired-looking Sun Jinman returned with the fleet and reported an important news to Liu Ling!
Just three days ago, the Shanbei Kingdom was destroyed by the Zhongshan Kingdom that was still in the sky!
Five thousand soldiers of the Zhongshan Kingdom besieged Dadaocheng without attacking. Shang Zhenyuan went out of the city and surrendered. The national flag on the Dadaocheng Palace was immediately replaced by the flag of the Zhongshan Kingdom. After careful inspection by Sun Jinman and the spies of the Supervisory Council,
After some investigation, it turned out that the lack of a city wall in Dadaocheng was indeed related to the bet. It turned out that the three brothers of the Shang family had made an agreement that as long as they besieged the capital, they would be victorious. The losing party would abdicate unconditionally, live in seclusion, and never participate in the battle again!
After hearing the news, Liu Ling became more interested in the three brothers of the Shang family.
Using Liuqiu Island as a chessboard and Liuqiu's hundreds of thousands of people as chess pieces, the chess game played by the three Shang brothers is really quite big!
Shang Dingtian!
Liu Ling smiled slightly.
I don’t know, are you really that person’s descendant?
Although the news from the Supervisory Yuan has not yet been sent, Liu Ling is increasingly convinced that these three brothers are from Tengzhou. (To be continued)
