[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

The atmosphere of the competition in Jianning Mansion this time is not the same as before.

Those who won are ecstatic, but when the streets and alleys are talking about the pirate rebellion in Funing Prefecture next door, even if it is a big happy event, they can only hide in the room and secretly rejoice.

Especially those students from Funing Prefecture or even Shouning County, it can be said that they are panicked.

There are many scholars nowadays who don't work hard, and those like Nie Huan who hear chickens dancing every day are already out of the ordinary.Perhaps it was because of the idol effect, after hearing from him that their prefect Lin had gotten up early to practice martial arts for decades and had never slacked off for a single day, the scholars in this courtyard also followed Nie Huan to start exercising.

Not to mention, it was really hard at the beginning, but after a while, I dare not say that I am light and healthy, at least those slender scholars have some healthy rosy faces.

In Nie Huan's words, even if Japanese pirates attack, at least he can outrun other scholars.

"Brother Nie, stop joking." The one with the best physique took a hot towel and wiped his sweaty head, face and neck, and said, "How could mere pirates come into Jianning Mansion."

The scholars around nodded their heads in agreement, but they really didn't have the energy to refute Nie Huan's ridicule just after it was over.

If they were really mere Japanese pirates, they didn't have the guts to hide in Shouning County and not come out. Shouldn't they just run away after robbing enough?Nie Huan laughed, but didn't scare them with his guess.Besides, he also agrees with the latter sentence, "This is very true. The governor has already led the army to Shouning, and I'm afraid it will be conquered in a few days."

Speaking of this, the people from Xinghua Mansion, who had just experienced a bloodbath, obviously had something to say, and said, "General Wang's attack on the city before, it is said that it only took one night?"

"It's not rumored, it's just for one night." They all experienced such a disaster first-hand, even though they stayed at home and didn't go out, they still knew some news.Especially the soldier who was standing at the door of the house who spoke, "The city gate was closed before, and when I woke up, General Wang and Lin Zhifu came in."

"However, I heard from relatives in the countryside that General Wang had surrounded the city of Xinghua Prefecture long ago, but for some reason he never attacked the city." The speaker lowered his voice and said, "It seems that it was only after the arrival of the prefect Lin that this happened." Persuaded the siege."

The people who heard this thought of the great epidemic in Xinghua Mansion before, and the despair when the magistrate did nothing to let them live and die, and he died of illness.At that time, how could they have imagined that now they can still stand in Jianning mansion to participate in the competition.Regardless of whether he was hit or not, at least he survived well.

Those present here are all lucky ones, they survived, and no direct elders in the family died, and they were not filial, so they were able to come to the exam.Several people looked at each other with deep gratitude in their eyes.

Nie Huan frowned. It was not the first time he had heard this. After all, no one was a fool. When Wang Ziteng's army was stationed outside, some passers-by saw it.There is no impenetrable wall in the world, even if no one knows how long Wang Ziteng has been stationed outside the Fucheng, rumors still spread.

"Shut up." In the silence of the courtyard, he said calmly, "No matter what happened at the beginning, the matter is over, and if we continue to talk about it, it will only bring trouble to Zhifu Lin."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and responded in unison.

Nie Huan nodded. He is calmer and believes in his own judgment.At the beginning, after the city gate of Xinghua Prefecture was opened and people were allowed to move around inside and outside, he went out of the city to inquire about the time when Wang Ziteng's army came to Xinghua.When I was working in the government office, I also found the official documents of Lin Yu who was appointed to take over as the magistrate of Xinghua Prefecture when he was in danger, and came to two conclusions, one good and one bad.

Lin Yu is indeed a good official as his elder brother said, and the time for him to rush here from the capital has been shortened to the limit.It can be said that along the way, he is obviously a son of everyone, and his life is definitely not good.

And Wang Ziteng did delay the time.I just don't know if it was his own decision or an order from above.

From the heart, he wants to believe that it is Wang Ziteng who cherishes the lives of soldiers, after all, it is a land of great epidemics.However, he also knew that these soldiers were all able to survive smallpox, and even if there was a difference between good and bad, they would not be worried about getting the disease.

Then, why Wang Ziteng did not attack the besieged city, the answer is not difficult to come up with.

He looked in the direction of Shouning County and sighed in his heart. It's a pity that there is only one Lin Yulin Huaijin in the world.

Obviously, not all of the Zheng family's spies in Xinghua were involved in the two successive disasters. After the ugly cow stared at them, the informant quickly revealed his identity without knowing it.This man is a well-known and well-to-do family in Xinghua Prefecture. He usually wants to build bridges and roads, and distribute food and porridge.Xu Shi often does good deeds, and the family has not lost anything.When Lin Yu asked to raise the business tax in the name of donation, this family also raised the money without saying a word.

It sounds like a low-key family that pays attention to retribution from the underworld, but they are Dong Fan's informants.

But Lin Yu didn't plan to do anything to them, just stare at them.Compared with this, he wanted to know the current situation of Diaoyutai and what happened to the young master of the Zheng family.

The current situation in Shouning County is unknown. Lin Yu can play more or less cards at hand.According to what Zheng Yi and Master Tian said, someone has already gone to Funing Prefecture to pick up the young master, and when the time comes, they will come to Xinghua Huihe and go back to Dongfan directly.

However, Master Tian was so frightened by Lin Yu this time, it's hard to say whether he will choose Xinghuahui again.

He stayed in the rain pavilion as usual, Xinghua Mansion was alone in the south, the season of wearing jackets had already begun in the capital, and it was still scorching hot here.The huge waterwheel is still working tirelessly, bringing coolness to the people in the pavilion.

Edward ran to Quanzhou a few days ago, it is said that he went to visit an old friend.Lin Yu shook his head, and said that he wanted to save money. The trend of foreigners drinking now and now getting drunk really didn't start in modern times.

Of course, it was also because of Lin Yu's relatively generous salary.

When Chang Zilan was called to come, she saw Lin Yu wearing a cloak, holding a book in his hand, looking at him, and heard his footsteps, without raising his head, he said, "Sit."

Chang Zilan sat down anxiously. Last night, he wanted to go with the prefect Lin to meet those people, but Lin Yu refused.He didn't sleep well all night, for fear that something might happen.If this is really someone from Dongfan, he remembers the old master's warning before, it's best not to have anything to do with people from Dongfan.

But I don't know what Lin Yu went to talk to those people by himself.

Seeing that Lin Yu took a bookmark and put it on the page he was looking at, he wrote lightly: "That is indeed from Dongfan, but the business can still be done." After speaking, he reported a number, and then said, "You can negotiate based on this price as the bottom line, there is only one, the ships that come and go don't use theirs."

Hearing that they didn't talk about business matters last night, Chang Zilan thought in his heart, and when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but asked in surprise, "We don't have sea ships?"

Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it." Inland rivers and sailing are two different things, but it is not necessary for every boat to be full of experienced sailors.He just needs to hire some people and train the people transferred from Chenlong.

In the future, as long as he wins the Diaoyutai, he will be able to train an elite Marine Corps with the convenience of the location.There is no way, the conditions are limited, the quantity is not enough, so we can only work hard on the quality.

Chang Zilan thought for a while, and persuaded tactfully: "The magistrate Lin knows that the university scholars in the capital once explained that it is not good to deal with people from Dongfan." Now the new sugar business is led by their Chang family, and there is another Chang Kemin's warning before.To be honest, he was also a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, they will naturally find someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with Dongfan to make a contract with you. You just sell things, and no one can beat you." Lin Yu would warn Chang Kemin and not Not surprised, and said calmly, "I'm afraid someone will come to talk to you in a while, just talk about yours. I will take care of the old man."

Hearing this, Chang Zilan withdrew without any objection.He was just persuading, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't want to take a bite out of the prospect over there.Anyway, even if he doesn't agree, there will be other merchants who will smuggle the new sugar, why doesn't he take the business by himself?

Since there was a tall man like Lin Yu supporting him, he had nothing to worry about.

Just like what Lin Yu said, after a while, someone came to talk to him about Xin Tang.The prices offered were the same as before, but he didn't know this businessman, and he wasn't among the people he met yesterday.Chang Zilan just didn't know, and made a contract to ship the goods after the other party brought over the first money.

Seeing Chang Zilan's calm look, Master Tian, ​​who was secretly hiding behind, began to struggle in his heart.

Of course, he also thought about simply changing the pick-up location, but it was agreed in advance in Xinghua Mansion.If you change it again, the price you need to pay will be very high.

Furthermore, compared to the bustling Quanzhou, although there are their eyeliners there, the court has more eyes and ears.Especially those imperial merchants, almost all of them were eyes cast by the emperor.

These merchants also have shopkeepers, small merchants, etc., who may not have the logo of the imperial merchants on their bodies, but at the same time they are doing sentry work.Of course, such a person cannot be compared with Lin Yu's almost omnipotent Earthly Branch.However, I can't stand the large amount!They don't need to do anything special, just pay attention to unusual movements.

It is not unreasonable that many espionage activities are accompanied by commercial activities, and even Lin Yu is not exempt from this.

However, there is a place that is convenient for Lin Yu in this dynasty.Jing inherited the Ming system, but did not inherit the spy agencies like the East and West Factory.Although there is a secret system, it also relies on imperial merchants from all over the country to provide feedback.However, businessmen are profit-seeking and have limited horizons, so the information they collect is also limited.

And those high-ranking officials can even write secret books.However, Lin Yu believed that they used this system more to blackmail other officials. It was also true that few officials were clean at this time.

But Master Tian's worries are not unreasonable.Even if there is no spy agency in this dynasty, because of Dongfan, a fierce tiger sleeping soundly on the side of the couch, the coastal courts close to that side will pay special attention to conclusions that can almost be drawn without thinking.

At this time, Xinghua Mansion, which had just passed through the disaster and had a relatively simple environment, came into their eyes.

At this time, it is time to gamble.Master Tian sat on the futon with a calm expression.A magistrate with unknown purpose and enemy, or another state capital.

With almost no choice, he sighed, rubbed the letter in his hands for other responders, and threw it away.Just like what the master said, he would rather lose this eldest son than be caught by the court and drag the whole Dongfan into the water.

Let's see the destiny!Master Tian thought.

The reckless young master he said was running around in the back office of the county government in Shouning County. It's not that he didn't know that his abilities were limited, but he had never been frustrated like this before.

The young master's surname is Zheng, and his name is Ren, which shows Zheng Shao's expectations for him at the beginning.

Simply, at the beginning, he still remembered that under the guise of the Japanese, even the hired ones were ronin among the Japanese. At least if they failed, the court would not be able to involve the Zheng family.Zheng Ren clenched the dagger in his hand, thinking, as for himself, he would definitely not walk out of this Shouning County alive, nor would he leave such a face behind.

Seeing Jiang Dong's elders without a face, Zheng Ren, who had always been arrogant, was full of bitterness.

Although he was reckless, he would not push all the reasons for his defeat to the Japanese.Indeed, compared with his father's elite soldiers and generals, these Japanese were nothing more than dirt on the ground, but what he was facing were not well-equipped sergeants, but a few government servants.

Taking down a small county is far from the state he imagined at the beginning.

Once someone from the imperial court led the soldiers from the guard station, those Japanese people had already started to fight among themselves before they reached the city, and he couldn't suppress it at all.No wonder my father always said that he has no successors, which shows that there are really no one.

Zheng Ren lowered his head, his face full of shame.

"Young Master." A soft voice sounded from the corner, and Zheng Ren looked in surprise, only to see a young man with a baby face that he had never seen before.He slipped past doubt for a moment, and heard the other party say, "Master knew you were trapped in Shouning County, so he arranged for the younger ones to help you." He said a few more words, but they were Dongfan's usual words of response, and Zheng Ren heaved a sigh of relief nodded.

"It's not filial to ask father to worry about his son." Zheng Ren almost shed tears, but thinking that he was still in front of his subordinates, he held back forcefully and asked, "How did father arrange it?"

"I only know that the Xinghua Mansion has arranged for someone to meet you, and it will be safe to just send you there." The young man whispered respectfully.

Zheng Ren was finally completely relieved, and said, "Shall we leave now?"

"Forgive me for asking too much, who else knows your identity?"

Zheng Ren thought for a while and said, "I've only been in contact with their leader, and even if I know, he can only guess it." The young man smiled at him and said, "Then please wait a moment, Eldest Young Master." For a moment, the little one will deal with some messes first."

Zheng Ren knew exactly what he was going to do, so he didn't stop him, pointing the way: "They're in the courtyard next to them, where the mistress usually lives." The places where the mistress lives usually have more gorgeous and colorful decorations than the front , Those Japanese people who haven't seen any good things just hang around there.

Zheng Ren watched the young man groping out in a fluttering manner, and waited restlessly at the same spot for quite a while, before he saw the young man return with relief.It was still a smiling face, and somehow he felt a little permeable.

But the desire for survival made him ignore this point, he hurried forward and said, "It's solved?" It was pretty quick.He urged again, "Let's go quickly, I'm afraid we will be discovered soon."

The young man, that is, Zishu, didn't say that when he went, the leader of the Japanese people was calling all his confidantes, discussing how to escape, but he happened to catch all of them, and it took some time.

Seeing that the young master was urging, he responded: "That's true, please come with the young one." He led the people towards the prepared place.

After he rested that night, his uncle sent him the task of intercepting the young master of the Zheng family in advance.This was probably the most exciting mission he had ever undertaken since he became an Earthly Branch, but the process was more boring than he had imagined.

The news of encountering Japanese pirates in Funing Prefecture had not been widely spread, so he chartered a sea boat and asked someone to send him to Funing Prefecture.It can be known from the letter that Dongfan also sent someone to rescue their young master, and they set off earlier than him.

Even if the distance from Xinghua Mansion to Funing Prefecture is closer than that between Dongfan and Funing Prefecture, there is still a possibility that Zishu may run once in vain.After all, Lin Yu's order was to pretend to be someone from there and get Zheng Ren out if he could rescue him first.If the time does not catch up, forget it, there is no need to snatch someone from the other party.

Zishu felt that if Lin Yu's task was completed, he would feel ashamed and would make other boys laugh at him for the rest of his life.

Simply, this journey is very smooth.People from Dongfan had indeed arrived in Shouning County a day earlier than him, but they couldn't sneak into the city like him for a while.

The cooked duck was snatched away by the rat.

Zheng Ren also had a big heart. After the quilt mouse successfully led him out of the mansion, he only thought that this person was his father's confidant, and because of his great ability, he followed him away without any doubt.

Even if Zishu smeared his face and changed clothes like a different person, he was not suspected.Zishu secretly despised this kind of mindless behavior, while trying to figure out how to get out of the city.

It was easy for him to get in by himself, he climbed in from the city wall.But if you want to take a person out, you can't go out by repeating the same tricks.However, he had it all planned out.The leader of the Japanese pirates almost told him to kill them all. There will be chaos in a while, and he can just take people out while taking advantage of the chaos.

In other words, even if Zheng Ren didn't tell him to kill those Japanese, he would do it.Fortunately, this Zheng Ren didn't like the Japanese people he hired either, so he just gave up.Otherwise, he would have to spend some more effort.

After waiting patiently for an hour, when the sky was getting dark, he saw that the county government was in chaos, and Zishu led the gray-dressed Zheng Ren towards the east gate.

Zheng Ren looked in amazement like a local, and pulled him to avoid everyone's eyes, and went all the way to Zishu on the edge of the city gate, and whispered: "Wait, I'll go back." I will ask my father for a reward for you." He really wanted to recruit such a talented person into his army, of course, he also knew that now he was just a young master with little real power.Such a person must have been carefully cultivated by his father, and he would definitely not be willing to follow him.However, this did not prevent Zheng Ren from being kind to such people first.

Anyway, it's just a sentence, why not say it?

Zishu pretended to be flattered, and said: "Thank you, young master." He pointed to the city gate and said, "It's not dark yet, please rest for a while, young master, and I'll call you when I'm about to leave." He gave him some dry food and told him to eat a little first.

The so-called dry food is big white steamed buns that are swishing cold, but freedom is in front of us, Zheng Ren is probably in a good mood, so he is willing to eat it with cold water.

Sure enough, when night fell, Zishu woke up Zheng Ren, who was drowsy, and led him to the foot of the city gate.Just as he expected, the already loose Japanese had no intention of guarding the county anymore after they found out that their leaders were all dead, and they planned to run away with the looted treasures.

In contrast, the guards of the city gate are more loose.They didn't know what happened, but this didn't prevent them from sniffing out some familiar auras from those team leaders.

Did you say earlier, run away after the robbery, and really wait for the imperial court to bring troops to encircle and suppress?

Zishu asked Zheng Ren to wait for him where he was, and quietly wiped the necks of the two Japanese men guarding the city gate.For a while, in the silent night, only the chirping sound of blood spurting out from the arteries could be heard.

The gate of the county seat is not tall, and there is almost no sound made by opening a gap that can allow a person to pass sideways.When Zheng Ren followed Zishu except for the county town, he was still a little foggy. For a moment, he thought he was dreaming.

It wasn't until Zishu brought out the two prepared horses that he touched the backs of the horses and came back to his senses.Here on the coast, horses are also a rare item.It's not that you can't afford it, but that you can't use it.Especially like their Zheng family's navy, who come and go in the water, what do you want the horses to do.

However, their family still has a small horse farm, and there are several horses, and his riding skills are also very passable.

Walk quickly to the pier, and sure enough, there are already ready ships.The fisherman only thought that they were ordinary customers of forced goods, and the money was generous, so he drove them towards the Fuzhou government next door.When we arrived at the wharf of Fuzhou Prefecture, we changed another fishing boat, all of which were arranged by Zishu.

When heading to Xinghua Mansion, Zheng Ren's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.Thinking about it, he asked Zishu, "What's your name?"

Zishu replied without batting an eye: "I dare not insult the ears of the young master with your humble name."

Zheng Ren patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said boldly: "You saved my life, you are my savior, don't talk about this." He asked again, "The Xinghua Mansion is ready, right? ?”

Zishu nodded and said, "Of course everything is ready."

Hearing this, Zheng Ren went on the deck with confidence. These days, he had gotten used to trusting this young man who was doing everything right. It seemed that as long as he took action, nothing would be impossible.

If he hadn't made a big mistake this time, he must have found a way to talk to his father and allocate this person to himself.However, it cannot be said now, after a period of time, when the limelight passes, we can still think of a way.It's a pity that he didn't ask his name, and it seems that he is not admitting himself.

He's not a fool, it's obvious.Along the way, he was respectful to himself, but he never said anything about himself, even guarding his name tightly.This is not what a willingness to pledge allegiance to oneself would look like.

No wonder, though.

Zheng Ren lay on his back, looked at the sky, and said, "I'm really useless as a young master, right?" He could have messed up such a simple matter, and his father had to personally arrange someone to come catch.

Zishu looked down at Zheng Ren, who had wide ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very blessed, and thought, isn't it very useless?Compared with the life of his father Zheng Shao that he heard from his uncle, this is really a tiger father and dog son.Of course, the Second Young Master who is still in Xinghua Mansion is not much better.If you say that the one in front of you still has a bit of blood, but the one over there is just a canary in a cage, without even a bit of ferocity.

He thought so, but kept silent on his face. He knew that Zheng Ren didn't need his answer at this time.

"No wonder my father always said that he has no successors!" He seemed to really trust Zishu, or it might be that he had been hit so hard this time, that as soon as he relaxed his mind and smelled the familiar sea breeze, his thoughts burst out. Come out, "If I can't even take down a small state capital, what face do I have to go to see my father?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zishu, and said, "Do you think so?"

Zishu didn't want to answer him, but seeing Zheng Ren staring at him with burning eyes, as if he would not give up until he got an answer, he had no choice but to say: "Young master is still young, and he will be fine with more experience in the future."

Hearing him say something so nonchalantly, Zheng Ren knew that he wouldn't say anything intimate, so he sighed: "Don't comfort me, I've learned a lesson after this incident." Young What, this guy in front of him looks younger than himself, but he has already dared to break into the county government alone, rescued himself safely, and sighed, "I'm not as good as you!"

Zishu had no choice but to comfort him and said: "The younger ones have learned all the tricks that can't be seen on the stage. The eldest master is the enemy of ten thousand people. How can he compare with the younger ones? He underestimated himself too much." He was still the first Once I talked so much with outsiders when I was on a mission. Compared with my grandpa who has such a grand plan and the ability to achieve his goals, the one in front of me, let him say, is really not as good as the one in their local branch. New kid.

It's a pity that he is now pretending to be from Dongfan, and the young master has questions, so he has to answer them patiently, so as to comfort him.If it's another boy under him, and he has this time to worry about the spring and autumn, it's better to practice a few times in a down-to-earth manner, to do a few more tasks, and to cure all problems in custody.

Speaking of which, according to the uncle's plan, as long as the Diaoyutai side is successfully defeated, all the important affairs on the Gusu side can be moved over.Then nearly half of the other earthly branches don't need to be tied to Zhuangzi anymore. According to my uncle, if they keep tied like this, the blood will almost be worn out.

He still misses those boys, Zishu thought in his heart, he doesn't know what's going on with Boss Zhang, hope everything goes well!

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Zhang Zhong waited quietly on Zhuangzi with the newly trained Tiangan, and he knew that this was his only chance.If you still want to make contributions in this life, you have to find a way to take down that Diaoyutai beautifully.

He has been reflecting on these years, and he has studied hard according to Lin Yu's original words.Now, he is no longer a big bastard.Even if you can't say that you have any literary talents, you still understand some military things.

Especially at that time, he also learned a lot by teaching Su Mu.He knew that Lin Yu had been instructing Su Mu on the art of war.It also acquiesced that Su Mu discussed this aspect with him, and even specially made a sand table for them to practice.

So, in fact, he was not as depressed as the little boy Huang Shi imagined.I have been waiting for an opportunity like today.

"There is a wave of pirates on Diaoyutai." Ugly Bull pointed to a small dot on the map representing Diaoyutai, then pointed to Ryukyu in the northeast again, and said, "This wave of pirates is going back and forth between Diaoyutai and Ryukyu. They rob ships passing by. However, they are stationed in Ryukyu all year round, and Diaoyutai is just a temporary foothold."

Lin Yu looked at the map, looked at Zhang Zhong, and asked, "What do you say?"

Zhang Zhong thought about it for a while, and then said: "This new Tiangan has never killed anyone. Compared with water warfare, it is better to have a safer land battle." He pointed to another topographic map of Diaoyutai, and said , "This is the only place on this island that can be used as a pier. As long as you defend this place, you can catch a turtle in your urn."

Lin Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry about supplies. Ugly Niu has sent people to Dongfan to prepare fresh water. As long as you stop for a few hours and replenish supplies, you can continue sailing."

There are no more inland rivers on the sea than ships, as long as you pay attention, you don't have to worry too much about sailing at night.What's more, few ships pass by the route from the northeast corner of Dongfan to Diaoyutai.

And the distance between these two points is only more than 200 kilometers. Now this season can just catch up with the tail of a wave of southwest wind. It can be said that the right time and place are not lacking.The man was trained by Zhang Zhong himself according to the method given by Lin Yu, and he was equipped with the most advanced flintlock at this time. If he can't do this wave of pirates, Lin Yu doesn't have to think about anything great. , Be an official honestly!

The only thing to worry about is how this ship has been hidden from other people, especially Dongfan.

After all, Xinghua Mansion, Dongfan, and Diaoyutai are almost on a three-point line from the chart. Lin Yu's ship can't get around Dongfan if it wants to go to Diaoyutai.

As for the food, it's okay. These days, the kitchen on Zhuangzi has been preparing compressed food, dried meat and other things that can replenish people's physical strength.Danshui couldn't get around it, even if Ugly Cow had already sent people there to prepare.In the middle of the night, a boat quietly docked at someone else's pier. Is it okay to pretend that everyone is blind?

"It would be convenient if we could find a natural port here." Zhang Zhong pointed to the northeast corner of Dongfan, frowning and said, "If supplies are supplied from here, it will be much smoother to hide Dongfan's people."

As soon as Lin Yu looked at it, he knew what he was talking about.In his impression, this place has not been officially developed in the original world at this time, but he doesn't know how the world is developed.Therefore, when he was thinking about it, he skipped this seemingly convenient place.

Chou Niu shook his head and said the truth: "If it's too late, it's better to pretend to be a merchant ship and go there openly." He added, "When Diaoyutai stabilizes, we can build a stronghold there."

Lin Yu praised: "The ugly cow is right. It is precisely because there are no people here, so even if it can avoid people's eyes and ears, it is not safe. Who knows what is going on in the sea area over there, and it will not be safe if something goes wrong. beautiful."

Zhang Zhong sighed and said, "I am in a hurry."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, this is a good idea. When the Earthly Branches in Gusu make their move, they will be able to sneak into Dongfan, and it will be much easier to develop a stronghold at that time." However, this is all based on the stability of Diaoyutai After coming down, after all the Zhuangzi on the Gusu side are moved there, the remaining earthly branches can be turned around.

He asked Chou Niu again: "How is the merchant ship getting ready?"

"It's all done, and sailors have been recruited." Ugly Niu has always been calm in his work. After all, he is an old man like Zishu, and he has been in the Xinghua Mansion for so long. It is not difficult for people who eat this bowl of decapitated rice.

What's more, they thought it was Lin Yu who wanted to wipe out the pirates on the Diaoyutai, because of his reputation in Xinghua Mansion, many people were willing to stand up.

"Don't treat them badly." Lin Yu simply confessed, "If there is a good one, you can figure it out. You are familiar with this." Seeing that the manpower is getting scarcer, Xinghua Mansion has been ruled by him It is time to recruit more people.

Chou Niu nodded and said, "I know."

"Then let's move!" Lin Yu tapped on the table lightly and said with a smile, "May you win the first battle."

The two clasped their fists together and said in unison: "No!"
