The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Xu Qilang told Ji Heng about some of the sea forces he knew, and Ji Heng compared some of the information he knew, and found that they were roughly the same, but Xu Qilang knew more specifically, and he also knew about some small forces. .

Ji Heng lamented that he knew too little, and Xu Qilang said, "In addition to the Suzhou and Hangzhou area under your control, and Taizhou where Jiang Shize is located, in other places, pirates and the government have colluded. The rampant pirates are so rampant that the common people can't bear it at all, and there is a big battle like attacking the county capital, how many of them are finally reported to the capital."

Ji Heng became thoughtful because of his words.

He sat cross-legged across from Xu Qilang, and Xu Qilang stretched out his sleeves for him, wanting to grab Ji Heng's hand, but finally took it back.

Ji Heng recovered from his contemplation for a while, and said to Xu Qilang, "It's really a great fortune to have your help this time."

Xu Qilang was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "I'm not helping you."

"Ah?" Ji Heng was surprised.

Xu Qilang continued, "I was just forced to do nothing by you."

Ji Heng was speechless.

Ji Heng probably knew that Wang Qi's other base camp was near Wenzhou, but he still didn't know the specific situation. As Wang Qi went south, Ji Heng was also worried that he would join forces with Xu Tiehu.

At the beginning, Wang Qi drove Xu Tiehu from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Fujian, but Xu Tiehu was much more upright than Wang Qi, an old fox, and he cared a lot about his status as a general of King Wu. The third son, even though this third son is only a bastard, Xu Tiehu will still follow Wang Qi's example, and will not refuse to listen to the call of this bastard.

If Xu Tiehu and Wang Qi were together, the court would have to spend a lot of effort to wipe them out.

In addition, the navy in Fujian will not work at all, unless the army is transferred from Guangdong at that time.

Ji Heng murmured, and in Xu Qilang's eyes, he was in a daze again, so Xu Qilang reached out to touch Ji Heng's face, Ji Heng instantly raised his hand and opened Xu Qilang's hand.

Ji Heng began to formulate a plan with Xu Qilang for the future, and Xu Qilang corrected his attitude and began to discuss with him.

It was really hot in the cabin, and when night fell, Ji Heng went to sleep on the deck, and Xu Qilang was afraid that he would be cold, so he quickly took a quilt to cover him.

Xu Qilang and Ji Heng made a new plan, so he had to convene his subordinates to discuss what to do next.

The people on board were all those who participated in the Zhushan Island incident before, and they were all the absolute descendants of Xu Qilang. Xu Qilang said that he wanted to help the court get rid of Wang Qi's lair. , no one has any objection, they are all eager to try, anyway, they can do whatever Xu Qilang says.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Xu Qilang and his boat met the boat that came to make contact. In fact, this was already the patrol area where Xu Qilang's water village was located, so the ship that made contact was more like a patrol boat.

It can be seen from this that Xu Qilang's statement to the short-legged Yang that he was afraid that the boat that came to approach him would pass him by and headed for Zhoushan was not solid at all, it was just an excuse.

Ji Heng also understood this point, so he felt more and more that Xu Qilang was a complete adult in other things besides being a child's paranoid emotionally.

These islands didn't have names, and they used codes to refer to them, so Ji Heng didn't know where they were, but only secretly judged the approximate location by the speed and time of the boat.

As for Wang Qi's other stronghold, Ji Heng only knew the name they called in jargon, but it was very different from the imperial court's coastal defense map, so Ji Heng, who didn't know the situation, was very confused about many places.

Ji Heng followed Xu Qilang and the others to the island. The island looks like a stockade. There are more than a dozen seagoing ships in the port, all of which are well-equipped. There is a village with neat houses, smoke from the kitchen, and a fortress made of stone, which is obviously a fortress.

That night, he stayed in a house on the island. Ji Heng had water to take a shower and change his clothes. After everything was packed, he had dinner. As Xu Qilang said, when he arrived on the island, his diet would be much better.

There are meat, vegetables, fruits, and rice.

Ji Heng observed that only a few species are planted on this island, but the diet is so rich, which shows that this place is often connected with other places.

After the meal, Ji Heng didn't dare to waste time, so he asked Xu Qilang to prepare a pen and paper, and wrote two letters.

The letter was written in cipher, which is impossible for non-professionals to decipher.It was stamped with his small seal of pure gold.

After finishing writing, he asked someone to call Xu Qilang, who was busy outside, and asked, "Where is the closest to here?"

Xu Qilang thought for a while and said, "If you want to send this letter, you can only send it to Taizhou."

Ji Heng asked, "How long does it take to get to Taizhou?"

Seeing that Xu Qilang didn't answer for a while, Ji Heng became angry again, "Haven't we settled the talk, what are you going to do? Besides, this letter is to report to the imperial court that I am fine, lest the emperor will deal with uncle."

Xu Qilang's answer naturally exposed his stronghold, but he still said, "Let's go by sea first, and then go ashore and hurry up for a day and a half."

In fact, Ji Heng already guessed that this place is not far from Taizhou.

He wrote the sealed letter into an envelope, stamped his own seal on the envelope, and then stamped his finger prints. In addition, he wrote another letter, this one addressed to the prefect of Taizhou.After writing the three letters, I handed them to Xu Qilang and said, "These three letters have all been sent to the Taizhou government office. After reading this letter to Gao Zhiyuan, the magistrate, he knew that the other two letters should be credited for [-] yuan." Riga sent them out urgently, one was to the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian Wang Bingzhi and the Chief of the Zhejiang Navy Jiang Size, and the other was to Fu Yang, the commander of Fengyu Guards."

Ji Heng's eyes were calm, and he had nothing to hide from Xu Qilang.

He added, "Wang Bingzhi and Jiang Shize will quickly send troops to Wenzhou after receiving this letter. I know that Wang Qi's other stronghold is near Wenzhou. When you said you would support Wang Qi, he readily agreed, which means that he is indeed right now." It is due to lack of strength. I am worried that he will use Yang Qinzhi, the third son of King Wu, to coerce Xu Tiehu to send troops to help him. Xu Tiehu is the most affectionate, and I am afraid he will send people to help him. At that time, Wang Qi will occupy the island fortress, and the soldiers of the imperial court will attack it. It will not be easy for him. Therefore, we must get rid of him before Wang Qi borrows troops from Xu Tiehu. This letter to Fu Yang is to say that I am very safe and I am planning Wang Qi's affairs, so that he does not have to worry about panic. If he has already He sent a letter to Beijing to tell me about my being taken away, so he asked him to send another letter to Beijing to tell me that I was fine, so as to relieve the panic in Beijing that I was arrested. You can also feel at ease."

In fact, Ji Heng felt that Fu Yang definitely hadn't reported his kidnapping to Beijing, and even now those who knew about it were hiding it.One is to appease the morale of the army, and the other is that everyone knows that the emperor is confused about his affairs. If the emperor knows about this, everyone will be dealt with, so everyone might as well try to find a way to rescue him.

Ji Heng's bluntness made it seem that Xu Qilang had been vague and meaningless, Xu Qilang nodded after hearing this, and became blunt, "Okay, because it is dark now, and the boat is moving slowly even if it starts, so tomorrow Send it out early in the morning. About the day after tomorrow, it will be delivered to Gao Zhiyuan, the prefect of Taizhou."

After finishing speaking, he said again, "Is Gao Zhiyuan credible?"

Ji Heng said, "Gao Zhiyuan is a trustworthy person." Gao Zhiyuan was promoted by Ji Heng, and he was an official in Anhui before. The collusion is naturally credible.

That night Xu Qilang slept in the room outside Ji Heng's bedroom. It was just a simple bamboo couch. When he slept on it, he would make noises when he moved. Ji Heng slept in the room. The creaking sound of the bamboo couch made it impossible to fall asleep anyway, so I had to get up.

It was very windy at night on the island, and the room was very cool.

Looking from the window, the night sky is clear and clear, and the last quarter moon has risen, hanging on the treetops, and the moonlight casts a layer of hazy brilliance everywhere.

Ji Heng walked out of the room, Xu Qilang's bamboo couch was right under the window, the window was not closed, the moonlight was shining on him, he opened his eyes, staring straight at the moon outside the window.

The sound of Ji Heng leaving the room brought him back to his senses, and he moved his body again, looking at Ji Heng.

Ji Heng stood at the door without moving, his figure was covered in darkness, and asked, "Why can't I sleep all this time, what are you thinking?"

The coolness of the night on the island greatly eased the restlessness in Xu Qilang's heart. When he was on the boat, he was always in a state of anxiety. He wanted to get Ji Heng, but he knew he couldn't get it.

Even if Xu Qilang is the proud son of heaven, he has long understood the truth that many things may not be obtained after asking for them.

But he can give up everything else, only Ji Heng, he can't let go.

Therefore, he cannot get what he wants in this relationship, which has always caused him pain.

This pain made him unable to open his heart to Ji Heng in many things.

The clarity of the night sky, the distance and brightness of the moon, and the coolness of the sea breeze all made him feel peaceful at this time, but he gradually felt a little sad.

Xu Qilang didn't answer Ji Heng's words, but just read softly, "Shangxie, I want to know you, and my life will never end. There are no hills in the mountains, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunders are shaking, the summer rains and snows, the heaven and the earth are united, so I dare to be with you. Absolutely."

Ji Heng looked at him and stopped talking.

Xu Qilang turned over and sat up at this time, still looking out of the window, he said to Ji Heng, "I can recite this Yuefu song when I was eight years old. At that time, I didn't understand its meaning at all. When I understood it, I always felt uncomfortable .”

Ji Heng still didn't speak.

Xu Qilang turned his gaze to Ji Heng who was in the shadow of the moonlight, and said, "Brother Heng, seeing such a beautiful moon, no matter where I see it, I can still remember when we were young, we sat in the yard to enjoy the shade, and we lay down On a bamboo bed, I have been watching the moon rising. At that time, I never thought that we would be separated one day. Although the moon has its ups and downs, it has never changed, but in this world, But it got too fast."

Ji Heng sighed softly.

Xu Qilang added, "Maybe I shouldn't have gone to Beijing with you and my aunt. In that case, my life would be completely different. I would rather I was born in an ordinary family who didn't even have food, even like Qin The fourth child, like them, has lived at sea since childhood, but I must be simple-minded, and I will definitely not have so many worries."

Ji Heng didn't know what to say, he wanted to go and hold Xu Qilang in his arms quietly, but he knew he couldn't.

Xu Qilang looked at him, and then said, "If people are mortal, Heng'er, then I will die for you. Anyway, since I followed you to Beijing, everything is preordained."

Ji Heng felt very uncomfortable when he heard him always say dejected words. At this time, he said, "My husband holds the Wu hook with only one hand, and his spirit is higher than Baichilou; who wrote the history in 1 years? Look for a prince from eight thousand miles away. Back then Don't you also have this wish? Why are you limited by the love of children now."

Xu Qilang turned his gaze out of the window again, his figure looked very thin, "I have traveled tens of thousands of miles in a year, and I have seen too many things in the world. In the history books, dynasties have changed, and the winner is the king and the loser is Kou. In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. I don’t care about being kings and marquises, and being extravagant. People in the world are busy, so boring.”

Ji Heng looked at him silently, sighed in his heart, and said, "It's just that you have gained too much, so you think that everyone in the world is stupid and lives like a dog. But you never thought that the more powerful you are, the more you should deal with this Do you pay more in the world? In addition to the love of children, there are too many things we need to do."
