"Because no one believes that I would give up all my glory and wealth to go to sea and become a pirate!" Yun Zheng pointed at the distance with his hands on his hips and cursed.
"Mr. Chen, do you think that after I become a pirate, if I want to go back to my mansion in Tokyo to stay for a few days, will those old friends be unwilling to pay attention to me?"
Chen Lin chuckled and said: "Don't say you become a pirate, even if you become a thief, everyone in Tokyo will be grateful to you."
"You mean they will send their daughters to my house?"
"Yes, as long as he does not hold military power, the general will be the first-class wealthy and idle man in the Song Dynasty. Those small families will definitely try their best to send their daughters to the general's mansion."
Yun Zheng patted his already full belly and said, "What a blessing. As soon as I land, people all over the world will be frightened. Maybe a few of them will be scared to death. I won't do any evil. I will be honest."
Just stay on my island.
But I went to the sea. The navy of the Song Dynasty will definitely develop greatly. It will not be a problem to develop continuously for at least thirty years. If your family has a nephew who is ready to be arranged, it is best to arrange to join the navy. In a few years, he will definitely
Very honorable.”
Chen Lin smiled and said: "I am just a lonely ghost. Where did my nephew come from? If it weren't for the appointment with His Majesty, I would have wanted to go to the sea with Marquis Yun to see him."
"Go if you want. In this era where vows are eaten as food, it is nothing for you, Chen Lin, to break your promise once. When you meet His Majesty a hundred years from now, you can still say that you are continuing to monitor me and still serve His Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely
I won’t blame you.”
Chen Lin shook her head and said: "It's enough to deceive living people, why should we also deceive ghosts?"
"Everything these days is about dedication, and the same applies to liars. Since you are already a professional liar, if you don't continue to cheat after you die, how can you still be called a professional liar?"
Chen Lin let out a long breath and said: "I am too tired from living, and I just want to sleep forever."
Yun Zheng looked back at Chen Lin, who was already lifeless, nodded and said, "That's fine, everyone must live a life that is satisfying to their heart's content."
Chen Lin looked at Lanlan who was training her maid and smiled and said: "She seems to be doing well. Once the canary in the palace flies out of the high wall, the heart can no longer be closed."
"She's trying to be happy.
Chen Lin, Yun Zheng is not a demon of lust, nor is he the kind of man who can't move when he sees a beautiful woman. If I really had any thoughts about her, she would not be able to enter the palace.
Your Majesty made this matter very embarrassing. I know what he meant. He wanted to cut off my foundation in the Song Dynasty. In order to satisfy him and to prevent this woman from committing suicide in shame and anger, I indulged myself, or
It is said that I think of the sea. The sea can accommodate all the rivers in the world. If I, Yun Zheng, want to travel across the four seas, the first thing I must learn is the mind of the sea.
As long as it's good for others or good for myself, I won't refuse. In fact, the only one who was hurt in the whole thing was Lu Qingqing."
Chen Lin said disapprovingly: "Ever since Ban Gu's sister Ban Zhao wrote a book called "Women's Precepts" advocating that women should pay attention to the "three obediences and four virtues", Marquis Yun must not have such thoughts."
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "So being a man in the Song Dynasty is a very beautiful thing!"
The two of them chatted and laughed while walking under the sunset. When the explosion of gunpowder bombs came out from the direction of Tongtou Pass, Yelu Yixin finally boosted their morale, and they began to have the courage to attack Wu Jie, who was not yet stable.
The goshawk in the sky folded its wings and fell from the sky, no longer circling. The birds that wanted to plunge into the forest behind Tongtou Pass were still circling in the air. The explosion of gunpowder bombs made them hesitate.
They dare not throw themselves into the forest.
The sky is covered with dark clouds, but there is no sunset. Heavy rain is coming. This scene is very unfavorable to the Song Army. Countless soldiers on the Yanghe Bridge are shuttled back and forth, constantly transporting supplies to Tongtou Pass. The heavy rain is
Unexpectedly, Wu Jie will most likely fight alone.
Most of the rivers on the grassland will swell with heavy rains, and the bridges on the Yanghe River may not be able to withstand the coming flood. This is a good opportunity for Yelu Yixin.
However, because Lang Tan had already breached the front of Tongtou Pass during the day, the Liao army was completely defeated. As a result, Zhao Min, who was in the upper reaches of Yanghe River, took advantage of the momentum and went straight down the river. In a short period of time, he and Wu Jie formed a situation in which they echoed each other.
Even the most ignorant soldier in the army clearly realized that once Li Dongchu's army went upstream and completely stabilized the Song Army's position into a triangle, the end of Tongtou Pass would come.
At that time, no matter how many walls Yelu Yixin built in Tongtouguan, it was of no avail. Tongtouguan had become an isolated city.
As soon as it got dark, raindrops began to fall, accompanied by dense lightning and thunder.
Yun Zheng held a book and sat reading under the candlelight. His eyes occasionally fell on the pale Lanlan. From the first thunderbolt, this woman looked very wrong.
The lightning lit up the sky and also illuminated her blue cheeks, making her look extremely pale.
"Don't worry, the lightning won't fall on our heads. There is an iron pole outside the Chinese army's tent to draw the thunder. It's very safe here.
We are just a couple of adulterers and adulterers. God has many things to do and has no time to pay attention to our trivial matters."
"Xu'er is most afraid of thunder. In the past, whenever thunder hit, Xu'er would get into my arms and cover his ears and remain motionless. I would sing children's songs to relieve his troubles."
"You didn't teach the boy like this. If I had known that he had this problem, I would have carried him standing in the rain watching lightning and listening to thunder. Unknown things are what scare people. Once you understand, you will know
Although I will be afraid, I will not be afraid!"
"I am a woman. When I was at Baiyun Temple, Master Wugou chanted sutras for me to relieve my troubles. It was also very effective."
"Hey, Zhao Xu got his quirk of liking Buddhism from you.
But don’t worry, if there’s thunder here, it won’t necessarily rain in Tokyo thousands of miles away, so just sleep peacefully.”
"Why aren't you afraid of thunder?"
"There are two types of people who are not afraid of anything. One is the ignorant, and the so-called ignorance means fearlessness. The other is the person who has seen through all the situations in the world, so he is fearless."
"What kind of person are you? A wise man?"
"No, I am stupid, bold, ignorant and fearless!"
Under Yun Zheng's gaze, Lanlan hugged the quilt and leaned against the bedside and slowly fell asleep. However, the lightning and thunder outside showed no intention of stopping and seemed to be heading towards a thunderstorm.
When he found out that it was going to rain, Yunzheng wrapped all the gunpowder in the army in oilcloth and placed it in a tunnel dug in advance. No matter how big the thunderstorm was, it could not touch him in the slightest.
Nights like this are most likely to cause terrible things like roaring, so Yun Zheng has not fallen asleep until now.
The army has camps arranged according to the five-flower formation, and important generals are stationed in each camp. Yunzheng just does not allow them to wear heavy armor tonight. At such a night, it is too dangerous to have a piece of iron bumps running around on the ground.
Yun Zheng put on his clothes and carried his sword and went out of the camp. Han Niu and Monkey were waiting for Yun Zheng outside. When they saw the commander coming out, they all followed him.
"Take off all your armor. Don't use long weapons. Just use short swords." After taking a look at the neatly dressed generals, Yun Zheng ordered in a low voice.
After a while, the families who had finished dressing up would gather together again. The monkey led the way with the angry wind lantern, and the group of people disappeared into the darkness.
There was no wind, just heavy rain falling crazily.
Yun Zheng first came to the Yanghe River. The river water had become turbid again. This was a precursor to a flood. The big flood peak was still accumulating in the upper reaches, and it would not take long for it to subside.
Wen Yanbo was standing by the river. When he saw Yun Zheng coming, he came over wearing a raincoat and shouted into Yun Zheng's ear: "It's okay so far, but I don't know how long the rain will last. I've asked the residents here.
, they said that heavy rain sometimes lasts for three days and three nights, and sometimes it only lasts for midnight. Whether these bridges can hold up depends on luck."
"Is Wu Jie still fighting now?"
Yun Zheng asked Wen Yanbo, pointing to the other side where several flames burst out from time to time.
"We are still fighting. The heavier the rain, the crazier the Liao people will attack. However, Wu Jie has already planned to use phosphorus fire bombs. These things will not be extinguished if they float on the water for a while," Wen Yanbo was a little worried. (To be completed.)
