Jicanghai

Two pieces of suet jade carved into the shape of a flying phoenix are placed on the dark purple cloud-patterned satin, intertwined with each other.It is about three inches square, the color is like frost and snow, crystal clear and moist, and the carving is extremely delicate and exquisite, it can be called the best in jade.

Yu Jinfeng stretched out his hand to touch it, only feeling the warmth from the tentacles. He thought it was his compensation for his refusal to resign, so he couldn't help but sighed inwardly, and he could only say: "It's really beautiful jade, but I rarely wear these things. Son, you spoiled something good for me. I think you like suet jade, so keep it for yourself."

Mingran smiled and said, "You really don't want it? But don't regret it." Picking up the jade and splitting it into two, the joint was as uneven as a seal. He dipped it in a box of Eight Treasures Inkpad and covered it on the paper Above, see one Yinwen and one Yangwen, which are the eight characters of "seeing thousands of miles clearly, flying Luan and Zhufeng".

Ming Ran said: "This piece of jade was obtained by General Wang Chong of the Northwest Coalition Army a while ago, and I asked someone to give it to my eldest cousin. My eldest cousin knew that I like sheep fat jade, so he made this pair of soldier charms for me. Come out. I am about to announce to the whole army. In the future, the Mingxiang Army will use it as the commanding envoy of the capital. Now I will give you a piece, which can mobilize half of the Mingxiang Army's soldiers, horses and warships. As for the former king's cousin who gave me I have already packed up those soldier talismans and put them away in the cabinet."

Zhu Luan's military system, the Sixth Army and the Mingxiang Army both command the Tiger Talisman. They have always been half of the lord's side and half of the envoys here. Mingran's move is obviously to completely get rid of the lord in the military system.Yu Jinfeng hesitated, and asked tentatively, "Are you planning to start your own business?"

Mingran said: "Then why? It is impossible for Yunjing to ignore it, but I hate the country's active control and threats. In the future, I will not use his things. I will raise my own people and make my own decisions. I don't believe that these thousands of miles of land are left alone , can’t support a Ming Xiang army. Do you want it or not?”

Yu Jinfeng hurriedly snatched the Xiangluanzhu Fengbing Talisman from his hand, and held it tightly in his palm.Mingran laughed and said, "I thought you really didn't want it. Is it still making trouble like this?"

Yu Jinfeng replied obediently: "So let's not make trouble for now." He pondered for a moment, and couldn't help approaching Mingran and provocatively: "Xiaoran, why do you trust me so much? But because you also like me in your heart? I actually Sometimes when I think about being so hopeless, I might as well just leave, but after thinking about it, I still can't bear to part with you."

Ming Ran said: "Yu Tongjun was born so enchanting and colorful, how can people not like it, but you are always suspicious and refuse to believe me. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, as the saying goes, if you don't go to the old one, you won't come to the new one, I will find someone else It’s a partner.”

Yu Jinfeng took a closer look at his face, but he didn't see how much he liked him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "That's why I can't leave, lest you get out of the wall. You are such a heartless bastard, whoever meets him will be unlucky In order to benefit the world, it is better for me to sacrifice my life and watch you closely!"

Hundreds of miles away from the northern foot of Chaos Mountain, Yu Jinfeng rode his horse and caught up with the Tianmi tribe who were staggering northward.When they first heard the sound of cavalry rushing in, the Tianmi people thought it was the enemy soldiers who were chasing and killing them, but this was just a plain, and there was no place to hide, so they could only shiver and huddle together, reluctantly Surround women and children in the middle.

Yu Jinfeng looked at the group of people with disheveled heads and filthy coats like flying quails, dismounted and shouted, "Little tree!"

When Xiaoshu and Miss Jing saw him, they rushed out to meet him.Yu Jinfeng asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiaoshu said: "The village head said where we came from, so we can go back. So we went north, crossed the wide Beidou Strait, and went to Xuli Island." The three islands of Xuli, Lema, and Tianshuang in the north, Although the territory is vast, the climate is extremely cold. It is said that the snow does not melt for most of the time every year, so there are few people, but it is the origin of the Tianmi people.

Yu Jinfeng handed over two flags, drawing the logos of Mingxiang Army and Mingfeng Camp respectively: "Then go quickly, cross the strait and leave as soon as you find the boat, and don't come back in the future. I can only help you get here It's gone." Hearing this, the head of Jiutao Village brought a few old men over to salute and thank them solemnly, and took over the two flags.

Xiaoshu tugged at his sleeve reluctantly: "Brother, will you come to see me?"

This matter was too vague, so Yu Jinfeng smiled and didn't answer.Miss Jing lingered on Yu Jinfeng for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Brother Che, why is your arm injured?"

Yi Tan next to him interjected: "We were not beaten just to let you go, we also have military rules and discipline. How do you know my boss's embarrassment. Don't be obsessed anymore, just leave now."

After sending away Xiaoshu and Miss Jing who were inseparable from him, Yu Jinfeng didn't dare to delay and turned back immediately.It was late spring and early summer, and the warm wind along the road was smooth and gentle, and the vegetation was luxuriant and lush.Yi Tan rode his horse by Yu Jinfeng's side, and suddenly said: "Boss, the wedding date for Miss Susu and I has been fixed, and the young Lord Ming said that after this autumn, he will prepare a dowry for Miss Susu during this time." .”

Yu Jinfeng glanced at him, saw the sweet and shy smile on his face, and said coldly: "Then marry."

Yi Tan's heart was filled with joy, but seeing that Yu Jinfeng's expression was not good for some reason, he could only linger: "But...but according to the rules, I have to get some decent dowry gifts to be worthy of the status of Miss Rusu , I don’t want to wrong her. It’s just that I’ve been with you for so many years, a villain, and I’ve only saved a few hundred taels of silver, and I’ve invested all of it on a merchant ship going to the South China Sea. That... can you lend me some first?”

Yu Jinfeng became more and more angry: "I won't borrow it. If not, I won't give it to him!"

Yi Tan felt that the current boss was abnormal, had become ruthless, and no longer cared for his brothers, so he squatted on the side silently for several days.He didn't know that the boss of his family was just jealous, deeply jealous.

But not long after that, Yi Tan suddenly noticed that something was different, which caused him to feel guilty towards his boss.This time, Yu Jinfeng led them to quickly clean up Haicheng and the surrounding towns, and found a large amount of food and treasure.This matter was expected, after hundreds of years of shipping by sea, the Tianmi clan must have accumulated a huge amount of wealth, but the amount still makes everyone who knows the inside story dumbfounded.

As the main manipulator of this matter, Yu Jinfeng, in the process of looting and looting (you read that right, looting and looting), quietly withheld some of the things suitable for dowry gifts, and put together a dowry gift for Yi Tan. Because Mingran had promised that the betrothal gift would also be returned to Yi Tan, Yu Jinfeng had also prepared very generously for the betrothal gift.

Yi Tan was very moved. Over the past few days, he also had an insight into the boss's mind.As the number one bachelor in the Mingfeng Camp, the boss still endures envy and jealousy to try to marry a wife for his brother, so no one in this world can compare to Bo Yuntian who is so high-spirited and righteous!Since then, he has become more and more devoted to the boss.

Mingran turned a blind eye to Yu Jinfeng's sneaky tricks, and was not very interested in the large amount of gold, pearls and treasures. Perhaps it was the fact that he was almost out of food a while ago that made him feel lingering. Now he is only interested in food, and he asked them to protect and store the stored food. Get up, and if necessary, go somewhere to change some and come back better.As for the almost innumerable jewels, gold and silver, he just looked at them casually, and let them go directly into the warehouse and seal them up.

According to the usual practice, at this time, Mingran should report the success to the Lord Zhu Luan, and then ask the Lord to send a group of civilian officials to carry out the handover of the management of Jihai City.But he thought of the court officials over and over again, but he couldn't think of a few suitable candidates. He only remembered that many of them seemed to have patronized Yanhua Academy on the Emerald River.His second uncle, Mingyun, has good character and knowledge, but under the circumstances, the king will definitely not allow Mingyun to come to sea, and Mingran doesn't want to suddenly have an upright and serious elder restraining him, so he keeps procrastinating. For this matter, I just sent a letter to Zuo Wenhui first, asking him about the situation of various civil officials.

After he got Zuo Wenhui's reply, Wen Jiaxiu's letter followed, and the two of them sent a news at the same time, whether it was joy or sorrow. In the upper reaches of Jingzhou and Yunjing, the three armies marched together on the water and dry roads, and they went straight to the capital of Zhuluan Kingdom.

With Wen Jiaxiu and Wen Renyu guarding him, Yunjing was safe for a while, but Mingran was not too worried.Moreover, since Wen Jiaxiu returned to Yunjing, Mingran has given the lord a long memorial, explaining the reason why he asked Wen Jiaxiu and Feng Chengzhu to switch positions. Maybe the lord believed it, or couldn't wait. Mingran simply gave up on him, but these days he rarely sent harassing letters.

While he was concentrating on thinking, Qi Yu Jinfeng came back from some awkward situation, and asked him with a dark face: "Yi Tan has a wife, what about other people's wives? It will always be resolved in the future."

Mingran held her chin and thought deeply: "I'm thinking, and I'm also worried."

He frowned, as if he was really sad, Yu Jinfeng sighed: "What can I think of in a while. It's all your fault, even if those Tianmi women are left behind, they won't be worried So powerful."

Mingran was quite surprised when he heard the words: "It's so ugly, do you think someone will want it?"

Yu Jinfeng sneered: "You are really... You don't want others to ask for it. You can eat chaffy vegetables if you don't have white steamed buns. When the time comes, you won't be able to see your face when the lamp blows on the quilt. It's better than starving Bar."

Mingran sighed: "Yu Tongjun is considerate of his subordinates. He even thinks about everything about his subordinate's bed. I am astonished. However," he paused and said, "We may not be able to stay at sea for long. Time and time. Yunjing and Cang Peiguo are about to fight, maybe we need to bring some troops back to support, and we can just keep people here to garrison."

Yu Jinfeng was startled when he heard the words, his face suddenly became even uglier, and he didn't speak for a long time.Ming Ran glanced at him, smiled and said, "You don't want to go back? Then you stay at sea."

But Yu Jinfeng suddenly turned around and walked a few steps under the south window, turned his back to Mingran and became silent.Outside the window, the greenery is flowing in the thick shade, and the sunlight is dim and faint, making his tall and thin back look a bit lonely. After a long time, Fang said in a shy voice: "I'm not... What are you going back for? Yi Tan You and Susu are going to get married, so it's not good for you to leave now."

Mingran said: "It depends on how the battle is going with General Wen. If he can hold on, of course there is no need to rush back. If he can't hold on, then he has to go back." He stared at Yu Jinfeng's back for a while, then weighed his hand Zhi Zihao came over, but only rubbed back and forth between his palms, and after a moment of consideration, he said: "But I know that General Wen will not be defeated, if there is no accident, there should be news of victory after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so this matter may not be urgent. Come here, what are you doing standing there, why are you so angry at me again?"

Yu Jinfeng said: "The subordinate dare not be angry with you, I am waiting for General Wen's good news."

When I took over Twin Islands for the first time, there were many and complicated things to be sorted out, and several months passed without knowing it.

About ten days after the Double Ninth Festival, Wen Jiaxiu's good news arrived in Jiehai City.Two months ago, the Mingxiang Army stationed in Yunjing and the Cangpei National Navy met in the Ningjiang area. For some reason, many warships of the Cangpei Kingdom ran aground, and the Mingxiang Army took the opportunity to besiege them and burn dozens of warships. , Captured hundreds of them, most of the Cangpei soldiers were killed or injured, only the top general of the water army on this road dug a remote small waterway, led dozens of soldiers and fled away in embarrassment.Wen Jiaxiu took advantage of the victory and pursued. With the cooperation of the Sixth Army, he successfully captured Fucheng and Shoucheng. At the beginning of the battle, he dealt a head-on blow to Cang Peiguo, which greatly boosted the morale of Zhu Luanguo's soldiers.

Upon first hearing the good news, Mingran immediately ordered someone to go to Yunjing to send Wen Jiaxiu and Wen Renyu two rewards, and was also afraid that Wen Jiaxiu's temper was straightforward, and if he was a little careless in his words, the king would inevitably embarrass him , Then I wrote another long letter, explaining many things additionally.

Yu Jinfeng was shocked, but doubted in his heart, he only pestered Mingran and asked him why he was so sure about the outcome of the battle in Yunjing, Mingran said: "I can't tell you that."

Yu Jinfeng refused to give up and asked repeatedly, Mingran just smiled and said nothing, and changed the subject after a while: "The sixth day of October is the day when Yi Tan and Susu got married, and it is only a few days away. Since the double happiness is coming this time, we will Celebrate well. What do you think is the most appropriate arrangement."

Yu Jinfeng flicked his sleeves: "It's not that I marry a wife, I take care of her!"

Mingran snorted: "Stingy, you don't care about me."

Since he wants to take care of it, Ming Xiang's army will naturally get busy, until the day of Yi Tan's marriage on the sixth day of October, when the house is full of drunken flowers and silk strings, Zhong Xu, as the only elder, accepts the newlyweds on behalf of Gao Tang. gift.After the two of them worshiped the heaven and the earth, they came back to bow down to Mingran and Yu Jinfeng.

Mingran hurriedly stood up and said, "I dare not take this seriously."

Yi Tan has been thinking about it for several years, and today he has finally achieved a positive result. He has already been teased a little confused by everyone, so he just repeated: "It should be, it should be. If there is no help and love from Ming Xiaohou and the boss, how can there be subordinates?" today!"

It was hard to turn down such kindness, Mingran and Yu Jinfeng returned the half-respect.Yu Jinfeng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and saw that his cheeks were smudged with a light red, and there was a smile on the corners of his brows and eyes.His heart became more and more mixed, and when Yi Tan came to toast, he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and then when the congratulatory guests were all drinking, Yu Jinfeng disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.

It's a pity that everyone was intoxicated in the fine wine, and no one noticed his sad departure.

In the middle of the night, outside the Chengfu Hall, someone's jade flute was flying secretly, hoarse and mocking the autumn wind, like a wolf watching the moon and an unjust ghost crying at night, with no tune and no tune.

Mingran was in deep sleep, but was abruptly woken up, sat up and said with a serious face: "A Yan, who is playing the flute outside? Why is it so ugly?"

Ah Yan rushed in quickly, spread his hands towards Mingran Tantan, with a face full of difficulty, and pointed to the direction of Guantao Palace on the side of the guide.Mingran saw that no one was sleeping peacefully around her, so she immediately understood, so she put on her robes and came out of Chengfu Hall, and saw that there was indeed a person sitting on the top of Guantao Hall, under the cold and faint moonlight, covered with endless words. Alone and lonely.

He couldn't help cursing inwardly, and had no choice but to fly up to the top of Guantao Hall, and land beside Yu Jinfeng, annoyed as soon as he uttered: "What are you making a fuss about? It's a day of great joy, but everyone in Tianlan's five main halls may Woke up by you."

Yu Jinfeng said: "It's just touching the scene to make people feel emotional." He raised his eyes to look at Mingran, and sighed deeply: "It's no wonder you don't want to see me, I am indeed a person who can't wait to see."
