Chapter 358 Comeback
Lu Fuhai came in a hurry, cursing secretly while driving.

More than half a month ago, the East China Sea Barrier had just berthed at the Jinlongtan Wharf. He met this handsome prince who could mount a horse and fight for the first time.

If it weren't for the violent storm, Lu Fuhai's heart was attached to the fleet, and the two of them could not wait to talk by candlelight at night.

Such a big typhoon also caused heavy losses to the East China Sea barrier.

After all the weather was calm, he hurriedly led his subordinates out to take stock of the situation.

As a result, not long after he came out to wander around, he received the news that Prince Qi was missing.

Missing?

At that time, Lu Fuhai almost fell into the water from the Hugonguo.

These days, many of his generals are missing, there are 220 five of them.

Most of them were swept away by strong wind or heavy rain when they came out to stabilize the ship.

Since then, his whereabouts have been unknown, and he has not seen anyone alive or dead.

If Prince Qi is also washed away by the flood...

Lu Fuhai shuddered, not daring to think about it anymore.

The two parties met in Xiao Zheng's main tent, and hurriedly tried to find someone, regardless of the noise.

cough!
Shen Zhengchu over there reminded, "Two generals, this matter must not be publicized. Let's try to find the prince quietly."

Chen Xiuzhu has always been a gentleman among the princes.

Being able to fight on horseback, and writing on horseback, is talked about by the world.

just,

Outside, there was a strong wind and heavy rain that was rarely seen in a century. Here in Jinlongtan, the generals and the soldiers are all working hard to protect the camp and positions.

If the other soldiers knew that the famous iron-blooded prince not only left the barracks without authorization and hid in Wenrou Township.He even lost himself, what should he think in the bottom of his heart?
If the news spread back to Yun Chui and entered Xingji City, what would other people think?
I heard that Yun Chui is now popular with something called a newspaper.

The content inside covers all kinds of astronomy, geography and human life.

The headlines on the front page are even more magically written about the major events that have just happened in Yunchui and surrounding countries.

It is said that almost all the people in Yunchui who can read and write will come to have a look.

If this story gets out, it will probably be on the headlines at the end of July.

The main title, "King Qi is missing."

Subtitle, "It's called fighting abroad, but it's actually fighting outside."

Thinking of such a headline being circulated by Quan Yunchui's wealthy families and ordinary people, several staff members couldn't help but shudder.

"What do you care about your reputation at this time?" Xiao Zheng was very dissatisfied, "The first thing to do is to get the prince back safely."

If something goes wrong, they will lose their heads at worst, and they will definitely be severely punished at worst.

"General Xiao, stay safe and don't get bored." Shen Zhengchu calmed down instead.

A few years ago, the princes had experienced in the frontier, and the eighth prince was unfortunately besieged and killed by the rioters in Yingling and Tianshui County.

Now, in addition to the guards in the mansion, the princes are also equipped with personal guards with high martial arts skills for personal protection.

Because Chen Xiuzhu was in the war zone, Emperor Changxing even sent four people over.

They didn't find anything unusual, so Chen Xiuzhu probably wasn't kidnapped, but probably was accidentally washed away by the flood when he and the girl were making love to each other at the window.

Fortunately, the place where Chen Xiuzhu disappeared was in the back house of Gaomen in the capital city of Baekje.

In addition to the walls of the house, there is also the wall of Gaosong, the capital of Baekje, blocking it. It is estimated that people are still in the city.

"That's good." After hearing this, Xiao Zheng heaved a long sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but look around.

If Chen Xiuzhu was washed away by the flood here in Jinlongtan, Xiao Zheng felt that he could stop looking for him and report the funeral directly to Xingji City.

Several people quickly discussed how to find it and where to start.

It's just that the various parts of Jinlongtan were severely damaged, and there were messengers coming in and out to report the situation from time to time, and a series of "reporting and reporting" sounds were annoying.

"Well," Xiao Zheng still remembered why he brought troops to Baekje.

"You guys discuss the result first, and I will cooperate with all my strength. When the time comes, I will work hard to get the prince back."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out and continue to inspect various positions.

"General Xiao, Uncle Xiao," the staff members turned pale with shock, "you must not leave at this time."

On the surface, the two generals in front seem to have parallel military ranks.But Lu Fuhai is the main general of the East China Sea barrier, in fact, he is Xiao Zheng's top striker.

It's just that Xiao Zheng has been in Baekje much longer than Lu Fuhai, and he has defended the important area of ​​Jinlongtan, keeping the pirates at the southern sea, and his reputation has spread throughout Baekje.

It would be almost impossible to quietly go into the city and find the King of Qi without Xiao Zheng going the needle.

Xiao Zheng was noncommittal.

At that time, the war was urgent, and the anti-landing fortifications had not been completed, and the Japanese pirates might break through Jinlongtan at any time.

He repeatedly persuaded Chen Xiuzhu to enter the city to protect his own safety, but Chen Xiuzhu flatly refused and insisted on staying in the barracks to live and die with other soldiers.

Xiao Zheng had no choice but to put Chen Xiuzhu's camp under the heavy protection or siege of the Pingwa army.

Now that he thinks about it carefully, he has no idea how Chen Xiuzhu avoided flirting with the noble families in the city, and even quietly left the barracks to enter the city to have a tryst with the girl.

cough.

Shen Zhengchu's staff couldn't help but look at Lu Fuhai, their expressions were a little strange.

It turned out to be the case.

Xiao Zheng wasn't stupid either, he suddenly understood.

Thinking about how other soldiers under his command would come to ask him when he would return to the navy fleet from time to time, he could only let out a long sigh.

at this time,

clang clang clang clang clang...

The urgent and fast gong sounded, and the sound was breathtaking and deafening.

what's the situation?
Several people in the tent suddenly changed color.

Personal guard Xiao Yong rushed into the tent.

He hastily bowed his hands and saluted, "General, a Japanese pirate fleet has come to the sea from the south. There are 180 warlord-class ships, and at least [-] battle-battalion-class ships. There are countless warband-class ships."

what?
Xiao Zhengna didn't care about Chen Xiuzhu, grabbed his sword and binoculars and rushed out.

"Who is the commanding flagship?"

There is a long distance from the Japanese pirates' berthing point to Jinlong Beach.Unless they didn't check the boat at all and just waited for the wind to die and set off immediately, they couldn't make it here.

"It says Ishikawa."

Ishikawa Taki!
Xiao Zheng nodded.

Sure enough, it was this old opponent, as ruthless and determined as ever.

The last time he led troops to attack Jinlong Beach, there were still thousands of living Japanese pirate sailors floating on the sea, but Ishikawa Taki ignored them, watching them being killed one by one by the Japanese army in a daze, and remained indifferent.

Such a leading general is undoubtedly very terrifying.

"How many broken crossbows and heavy crossbows have been repaired?"

"The broken crossbows are repaired first under the general's order, and there are still five that have not been repaired. The heavy crossbows have temporarily repaired fifty. It's just..."

Xiao Zheng's heart sank, and he couldn't help raising his voice, "Just what?"

"It's just that the winding machines sent by the Ministry of War are almost destroyed or gone, and the broken crossbow and heavy crossbow arrows have also been washed away by the water."

Xiao Zheng's scalp tingled for a while.

The anti-landing fortifications in the front were destroyed in sevens and eights, and the deterrent weapons in the rear were useless again. Fortunately, there were not many Japanese pirates coming...

Not long after, Xiao Zheng climbed up the newly built watchtower, and the sea ahead appeared in front of him.

He raised his binoculars to look, and soon became dumb.

The Japanese pirate ships did not intend to attack their position, but collectively drove to the left.

There is the berthing position of the East China Sea barrier fleet.
