Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

The next morning after seeing Weixi River, Yin Chengyu took people to Dagukou to inspect Haiphong.

Wan Youliang and Guan Haishan accompanied him.

After traveling for half a day to reach Dagukou, Yin Chengyu went through the motions and looked around, and then proposed to go to the seaside to have a look.

This remark caught the hearts of Wan Youliang and the others, after they pretended to persuade them, they accompanied Yin Chengyu out of the city gate and headed towards the coastal defense line.

Dayan has always had a sea ban policy, and now that the Grand Canal is unblocked, pirates are rampant on the sea, and more cargo ships are transported by inland rivers, and the sea is gradually sluggish.The area around the coastal defense line is even more barren, with jagged and strange rocks everywhere.

Yin Chengyu pretended to stroll around for a while, but was actually waiting for Wan Youliang's next move.

After about two quarters of an hour of sea breeze, the sound of drums sounded from the direction of the Drum Tower, and the soldiers who reported the news hurried out of the city on horseback, shouting from a long distance: "Report! There are pirates coming! "

Guan Haishan looked solemn: "What's going on?!"

"There are pirates landing in the southwestern waters, and there are, there are two warships of [-] materials!"

The soldier who reported the letter was out of breath, and the panic on his face did not seem to be fake.

"Order to prepare to meet the enemy! I will return immediately!" Guan Haishan asked the soldiers to go back to report the letter first, and then turned to Yin Chengyu and said: "The pirates suddenly attacked, and I will escort His Royal Highness back to the city first."

Yin Chengyu shook his head and said: "The pirates landed from the southwestern sea area, which is very far away from here. The battle is urgent, and General Guan will go to defend the enemy first."

Guan Haishan hesitated for a moment, then stopped to refuse, and immediately rode back to the city.

"Let's go back and have a look." Because of the pirates' attack, Yin Chengyu lost interest in wandering around again, and brought people back to the city.

When they returned to the city, they saw chaos everywhere.The people all buried their heads and rushed to the house, which shows the ferocity of the pirates.

"Those pirates often enter the city to plunder?" Yin Chengyu's face darkened. No matter whether Guan Haishan arranged this trip today is true or not, the reactions of these people are all true.

If he hadn't suffered a lot, he wouldn't have fled in such a panic when he heard the drumbeat.

Wan Youliang sighed and said: "The pirates are fierce and cunning. Although General Guan has strengthened the guards with all his strength, it is inevitable that he will be defeated... and those pirates are extremely cunning, and they often pretend to be ordinary people and sneak into the city to burn, kill and loot. It’s really hard to guard against.”

Yin Chengyu frowned when he heard this, and said worriedly: "General Guan is going to defend against the enemy in the southwestern sea area, and the defense in the city is bound to be empty. Isn't there an opportunity for pirates to take advantage of it?" He turned his head and told Xue Shu, "Hurry up and go to the guard station to call four The guards are coming, the city needs to strengthen its defenses."

Xue Shu responded, and immediately rode his horse to the guard station to dispatch troops.

Wan Youliang didn't expect Yin Chengyu to be so cooperative, and he sent the guards away before he could think of a way to distract them.

He glanced at the guards around Yin Chengyu, there were only a dozen or so of them at the moment.

Looking around vaguely, Wan Youliang made a gesture with his hands behind his back when he saw the blue cloth belt tied on the window of a certain house on the right.

Yin Chengyu seemed unaware of this, and said to Wan Youliang: "Let's go back to the official office and wait for the news."

Wan Youliang should have waited for him to get into the carriage before he got into the sedan chair.It's just that he winked at the bearer, and the bearer deliberately slowed down, and the sedan chair and the carriage gradually opened up.

Inside the carriage, Yin Chengyu leaned against the window, raised a corner of the curtain, and observed the situation outside.

Zheng Duobao, who was waiting by his side, didn't know the plan, so he was a little anxious: "The pirates are vicious, and His Highness cannot be compromised. Why don't you let Supervisor Xue escort His Highness back first?"

As he said that, he remembered that Zhao Lin was nowhere to be seen: "Why isn't Commander Zhao here today?"

Yin Chengyu made a silent gesture to him, and said with a smile: "They will be here soon, don't worry."

Zheng Duobao has been serving him for so many years, and he is very familiar with him. Seeing such a winning smile on him, he immediately understands that there may be some plan that he doesn't know about.So he persuaded himself to calm down and pour tea for him calmly.

The carriage was walking on the empty street, and the wheels rolled over the ground, making a screeching sound.

The inner city of Dagukou is not too big, and after turning two streets, you can reach the government office.

But just as the carriage turned the corner, a small wave of pirates with shaved Yuedai heads rushed forward with their knives in hand.

"There are pirates! Watch out!" The accompanying guards immediately surrounded the carriage and protected the carriage behind them.

The pirates who collided head-on saw the luxurious carriage, screamed and rushed up excitedly with their knives in hand.

There were about 80 to [-] pirates in this wave, but Yin Chengyu's guards were only a dozen or so.

In the beginning, he was barely able to support him, but after two rounds of battle, he gradually began to lose the wind.

A particularly brave pirate crossed the guard line during the chaotic battle, and threw the knife straight at the carriage——

The swirling long knife was stuck on the wall of the carriage, and the blade was mostly sunk.

Yin Chengyu looked at the trembling blade in front of him, and was about to lift the curtain of the car to signal his move, when he heard more intense shouts of killing from outside.

He opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw that Xue Shu had led the soldiers from the Four Guards Battalion to kill him without waiting for his order.

During this trip to Tianjin Guard, Yin Chengyu brought a total of 50 soldiers. Apart from the 450 people who stayed in the residence, there were [-] soldiers who were placed in the guard.

After knowing Wan Youliang's plot, Yin Chengyu ordered Zhao Lin to secretly go to the guard station to deploy troops and set up an ambush when he went to Dagukou today. At that time, Wan Youliang and Guan Haishan were accompanying him, and the news from the guard station could not be released in time. to their ears.

More than [-] soldiers faced off with [-] or [-] pirates, and the outcome was decided.

Yin Chengyu ordered Zheng Duobao to raise the curtain of the carriage and sit inside to watch the battle.

Xue Shu and Zhao Lin divided into two ways to outflank the pirates who realized something was wrong and wanted to escape.Zhao Lin led the soldiers to kill the enemy, but Xue Shu snatched the long knife of the pirate on the opposite side, holding a knife in each hand, and fought all the way from the periphery to the center.

He stood in front of the carriage panting, looking up at Yin Chengyu in the carriage.

After scanning the person carefully with his eyes, after confirming that he was fine, he said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness was frightened when the rescue came late."

At such a time, Yin Chengyu didn't reprimand him for disobeying orders and acting privately, just nodded and said: "Leave a few alive." Then he glanced back and told: "Don't tell Wan Youliang to run away."

"Yes."

Xue Shu threw away the curly knife in his hand, and pulled out the heavy knife stuck on the wall of the carriage.

He searched the crowd with his eyes, and after locking on to the pirate who threw the knife, he waved the knife and approached step by step——

Before the pirate realized the danger, Xue Shu had already taken his head.

Holding the knife, Xue Shu bent down to lift up the head that had been rolled aside, and looked behind Wan Youliang with dark eyes.

Wan Youliang was in shock at this moment, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The wave of pirates they arranged was naturally not what Xue Shu said, but just to scare the prince.They also wanted the prince to suffer a little, so they had to leave Tianjin Wei.

According to the agreement, it was indeed time for Xue Shu to come to rescue him at this moment, but he always felt that something was wrong when he heard the fierce shouts ahead.

Xue Shu should just kill a few people for a show, and then let go and let people run away.Why does it sound like it's moving for real now?

Wan Youliang wanted to go down to have a look, but he was afraid that those pirates would accidentally hurt him. Just as he was hesitating, there were a few cries of pain outside. Wan Youliang was startled, and suddenly opened the sedan chair curtain, and saw Xue Forgive me.

The four bearers had already fallen to the ground, Xue Shu picked up the pirate's head with the tip of his knife and smiled at him: "Lord Wan."

Wan Youliang tried to look at him calmly, but his face turned pale: "Officer Xue, you, you are..."

Xue Shu didn't explain. After stabbing his leg with a knife and howling like a pig, he raised his hand and dragged him out of the sedan chair, and threw him to the subordinate beside him: "Take him back."

This battle of many vs. few quickly subsided, the pirates left a dozen or so alive, and the rest were killed on the spot.

Zhao Lin led people to clean up the corpses and the streets, while Yin Chengyu listened to Xue Shu's report on the battle situation.

"I have already sent people to investigate. The pirate attack is fake. Two [-]-material warships circled the sea and left again." Xue Shu said.

"It seems that Guan Haishan is deeply involved with the pirates." Yin Chengyu frowned, and when he glanced unintentionally across the alley, he accidentally found a small figure.

He stopped talking and hesitated, "Is that a child?"

The alley was diagonally opposite Yin Chengyu, only one step away from the street where the fight was just now. If you were a child, you might have been frightened by the bloody scene of the fight.

Thinking of the fleeing people, Yin Chengyu felt a little pity, got up and went to check, and found that it was really a thin boy: "I don't know whose family it is." He sighed, turned to Xue Shu and said, "Fate!" Let's take him back to the government office for a while, and if he can't find his family, send him to Shan—"

Before he finished speaking, Xue Shu suddenly yelled "be careful", then suddenly pushed him away, and kicked the child out.

Yin Chengyu held his scratched arm and looked at the child in astonishment. He saw the child lying on the ground with the dagger dropped aside, turning his head and staring at him fiercely. How could there be any childish innocence on his face?

Xue Shu stepped forward, grabbed the child by the neck and picked him up.

The child was only in his early ten years old, struggling in his hands like a chick, and soon rolled his eyes because of difficulty breathing.

"Xue Shu!"

Yin Chengyu frowned, but finally stopped him aloud: "Forget it, such an older child is probably instigated by someone, so lock him up temporarily."

Xue Shu looked back at him, his eyes were dark, but finally obediently let go, and threw him to the guards who came.

He strode towards Yin Chengyu, lowered his head to check his wound, and saw that the wound was not too deep, his knotted brows relaxed a little, but his voice was hoarse: "I will bandage your Highness first, and I have to go back to the official office to ask for a doctor."

After finishing speaking, he took out the veil from his arms and carefully bandaged his wound.

Seeing the annoyance written on his face, Yin Chengyu finally opened his mouth and said: "It's just a small injury, it's okay. I have long heard that some pirates will specially adopt orphans and use these children to infiltrate the city to find out information, but I didn't expect to meet them today. "

These pirates are not only rampant in the sea, they have gradually infiltrated the coastal state capital.

If things go on like this, I am afraid it will be more difficult to remove.

Yin Chengyu was worried, but he could only press it down temporarily.

Because Yin Chengyu was accidentally attacked, the group immediately rushed back to the government office.

Zhao Lin stayed behind to appease the people, while Xue Shu sent the prisoners to the prison for interrogation separately.

Only Yin Chengyu was urged by Zheng Duobao to rest in the temporary wing set up by the government office, and a doctor was invited to see the wound.

"Just a little injury."

Xue Shu found out in time that the kid was not a professional killer, and the dagger only scratched his little arm.

"With so much blood, how could it be a minor injury?" Zheng Duobao was worried, and carefully removed the blood-stained veil for him, urging the doctor to take a quick look.

Yin Chengyu really didn't want to listen to his nagging, so he could only let the doctor treat the wound with his arms propped up.His eyes fell aside boredly.

"Pick up the handkerchief and show it to Gu." Yin Chengyu suddenly noticed the handkerchief thrown in the basin, and his eyes moved slightly.

Zheng Duobao didn't know why, so he picked up the blood-stained kerchief, and thoughtfully unfolded it for him to see clearly.

Yin Chengyu looked carefully at the corners of the handkerchief, and found the familiar dark lines.He also asked Zheng Duobao to take the handkerchiefs he usually used for comparison. When the two handkerchiefs were put together, even the dark patterns were exactly the same.

——This is a veil specially provided by the Weaving Bureau according to his preferences.

How could there be Xue Shu?

The author has something to say:

Your Highness: Where did the handkerchief come from?

Your Highness: What are you doing with my handkerchief?

Dog hook: ...
