Yongye's eyes fell on the letter from Master Zhang on the table. He had already read it secretly. There were only a few words on it. No wonder the young master was angry. He usually talked non-stop, but when it came to serious matters, he was so perfunctory.
The young master waited for several days and only got two sentences. How could he not be angry?
If Master Zhang neglects the young master like this, he should be locked up and starved to death for several days and nights.
Forever night thinking wildly, Song Chengxuan looked at the map and never turned around.
The Japanese fleet can go directly to Changzhou. Although they are far away in Quanzhou, they have already felt the tense situation. Taking this opportunity, the pirates are waiting for an opportunity to land on Ryukyu. The King of Ryukyu has sent several letters to Zhou for help.
The military advisor had already asked him to make good friends with the King of Ryukyu, and this was a good opportunity. If he went to Ryukyu in person, the King of Ryukyu would definitely be grateful.
In this way, he can not only defend the Quanzhou area, but also further obtain what he wants.
"Sir," Yongye said, "we have to recruit troops tomorrow... If you don't want to go to Ryukyu... why don't I go and ask for the military advisor."
Song Chengxuan finally turned around and said calmly, "I'm talking more and more. If I keep talking, I'll go find Mr. Zhang."
Yongye covered his mouth.
Song Chengxuan walked to the desk again and opened Zhang Zhenren's letter again. The content of the letter was very simple. It only said that Miss Xu and the Jiang family went to Changzhou to investigate Xie Yun's case. The facts of the case are not clear yet, but don't worry, Mr.
With the help of the Jiang family, Miss Xu will definitely be able to find out the truth.
What Zhang Zhenren said is right. She came to Changzhou because she was worried that something would happen to Marquis An Yi.
For the White Dragon King, the Changzhou Navy was not something to be afraid of. His real opponent was the battle-hardened An Yihou, so this time the White Dragon King's strategy was also aimed at An Yihou.
Since she had been prepared, she must have known how to deal with it. The White Dragon King had pirates, and she also had maritime merchants to help. It seemed that he was not needed, otherwise she would have asked Master Zhang to send him a word.
Song Chengxuan ordered Yongye to "make food at the third watch and set sail at the fifth watch."
…
Early in the morning, the door to Xie Yun's home was already open.
Then the Xie family members walked in.
Today is the day when Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie are moving. Xie Yun is imprisoned in the capital, and there are no juniors in the yard to show their respect. In order to take care of them, members of the Xie family came to pick them up and take them to their old home.
Old Mrs. Xie was carried out the door on a shoulder cart and placed on the carriage. When the curtain of the carriage was lowered, Old Mrs. Xie's expression became extremely gloomy.
This is Jiangyin. From Jiangyin, you can take a boat to Songjiang Prefecture and go directly to the port. There, you can change to a larger ship and leave Dazhou smoothly. But now we have to move her away from Jiangyin... It will be much more troublesome to leave again.
She didn't know why the clan suddenly made such a decision. She was very anxious after hearing the news and wanted to refuse immediately, but she couldn't do it too obviously, as it would make people suspicious.
"Old lady," Cui's mother whispered, "you have to be patient for a few days. My servant went out to inquire. The ship is getting closer and closer."
Mrs. Xie has already heard about this incident. Those merchants have relatives in the hands of the White Dragon King. They are all so frightened that they guard the gate of the government office every day. Many of those merchants are familiar to her, and they usually rely on some money.
, looked majestic in front of her, she wanted to do some business with them, and even gave them heavy gifts. When the Xie family moved out of Changzhou, they were left behind, and it was so much worse that they were looked down upon and ridiculed.
Now the White Dragon King can be considered as breathing a sigh of relief for her.
She really hoped that those people would hold the funeral together and see with their own eyes how their loved ones died tragically.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this. She had lived to this age and it was worth seeing all this. "We are leaving. Have you burned a stick of incense in front of my father's grave to ask for his blessing?"
"Yes," Cui's mother said, "I have been there early in the morning."
"It's not easy," Old Mrs.
It's such a big deal, if he were still alive... I'm afraid he would be frightened to death."
Mother Cui lowered her voice, "You also need to be prepared. If you take advantage of the chaos, it will probably be in the next few days."
Old lady Xie nodded. She couldn't wait for a long time. "In the final analysis, he is doing it all for me, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered so much. After this battle, he will definitely be able to dominate. If anyone wants to embarrass him, he will definitely do it."
Struck by thunder from the sky."
After Mrs. Xie said this, most of the worries in her heart were finally gone.
…
The Xie family's carriage went farther and farther.
After leaving the city and taking the official road, we walked for a while to catch the carriage. The servants following the carriage began to feel tired. The woman following the carriage began to yawn. In the blink of an eye, the man under the carriage let go of his hand.
His whole body fell to the ground. After the carriage left, he rolled over and rolled into the grass next to him.
Meng Lingyun raised his head cautiously and watched the Xie family walking further and further away. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to rub his shoulders, and walked quickly into the city. The eldest lady was still waiting for news about him.
What Mrs. Xie said was confusing, but it was enough for people to know that what Mrs. Xie was talking about was the White Dragon King.
The seventh lady couldn't help but said, "You really guessed it, but I don't understand how she can establish friendship with the White Dragon King."
Xu Qinghuan thought carefully, "That probably has something to do with Mrs. Xie's father."
The seventh lady said, "The White Dragon King has been on the sea for a long time. Judging from this, he may have met Old Mrs. Xie's father."
"It's not an acquaintance," Xu Qinghuan shook his head, "It should be a closer relationship. Old Mrs. Xie can trust the White Dragon King so much. She speaks with a certain degree of honor, and she despises merchants in her words, even even
Da Zhou doesn't take it seriously, either Old Mrs. Xie is crazy, or she has an unbreakable relationship with the White Dragon King, and after all calculations, only blood relatives would do this."
The Seventh Lady thought about it carefully, "The White Dragon King claimed to be a survivor of the previous dynasty, but in fact he was once a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He used the previous dynasty as a cover because he did not want to be known as a traitor."
It seems that the identity of the White Dragon King is about to be revealed.
Xu Qinghuan said, "I have asked someone to check. Someone from Mrs. Xie's natal family once served as an official in the court, but he died after he reached the sixth rank. Mrs. Xie's father, Zhou Wei, was the only heir of the Zhou family, so we had to
They had two wives and married two wives. One year there was a famine in Changzhou, and their family moved to Suzhou to escape the disaster. The Zhou family was scattered by the disaster victims. There has been no news about Zhou Wei's wife and children in the other house since then.
"
The seventh lady asked, "Is it possible that the one who got lost is the current White Dragon King?"
Xu Qinghuan thought for a moment, "According to his age, Zhou Wei's other son is already in his twenties and in his prime. At that time, he drifted overseas and may indeed be in charge of the fleet. Mrs. Xie went to join her brother at this time.
, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.”
It is very possible that this inference is true, and the seventh lady was happy in her heart, "The White Dragon King is using the people of the Zhou Dynasty to threaten us, we can also use his own methods to treat others. Let Mrs. Xie see what she thinks about the White Dragon King."
