Chapter 85, Scene [-], Breaking the Prison Part [-]
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yan woke up from his drowsiness, only to find that what lingered around him was no longer the bitingly cold sea water, but a warm and soft mattress.A man singing a cappella faintly sounded in his ears. He had never heard that song before, but it was incomparably heroic and unrestrained, which made his tired body feel a little more strength.

He tried his best to open his eyes wide, but his eyes were stung by a ray of bright sunlight that penetrated through the window. At some point, he was rescued by someone, and he was lying in the cabin of a large ship.And this ship was obviously sailing forward with full sail, and the young man's body also bumped up and down as the waves broke through the ship.

The black-eyed boy struggled to sit up on the couch, only to realize that his burned hands and arms were already covered with thick gauze.Under the gauze, an unknown light yellow ointment oozes out slightly, and it feels cool on the skin, so that he can no longer feel the burning pain.Jiang Yan guessed in his heart that he might have been rescued by a passing caravan or fishermen, and soon remembered his companions who fell into the water together, and turned his head to look around.

"Don't look for it, the other two friends are resting in their respective cabins, don't worry."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, which seemed familiar.The young man turned his head with difficulty, but saw that sitting on a low stool was Fan Zhen who was fighting side by side on Hailing Islet.

"You saved us? How is Yue'er doing? Where did you get this boat?"

The boy immediately asked questions like a cannonball.Fan Zhen pressed the palm of his hand, signaling for him to be calm:

"Don't look at the red-haired girl who almost scared people to death on the island, but her wounds healed surprisingly fast, and her condition is now more than ten times better than yours. I assure you that both of them are fine. As for this A ship—”

Seeing his hesitant appearance, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that the reason behind his being able to be rescued this time might not be that simple.And Fan Zhen's next answer also confirmed his guess:
"...I never dared to think that Boss would personally bring a boat to rescue people. But it's no wonder that you little devils have such special identities. According to his temperament, he may have already made all the preparations so that he can save people in time. Come."

"Brother Fan, who is this boss you are talking about? How would he know that we are in danger on Hailing Island?"

Facing the boy's question, Fan Zhen didn't answer any more, but just stretched out his hand to help him off the collapsed floor:
"Our boss and the three of you are old acquaintances. He is on the deck at the moment, and it will be clear when you meet. Let him explain to you in person."

Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Yan became more and more uneasy.From the first moment he saw Fan Zhen, he felt that this person was not an ordinary fisherman.At this time, the more the man kept his secrets, the more the young man wanted to figure it out as soon as possible, so he immediately staggered towards the upper floor of the cabin regardless of the pain in his body.

When he first stepped out of the hatch, he encountered a big wave. The bumps made Jiang Yan feel dizzy for a while, so he hurriedly used one hand to firmly hold on to the railing beside him, and then he stood firmly.The sunlight reflected by the vast expanse of waves was so white that it was difficult to open his eyes. He had to put one hand on his eyebrows. After his eyes gradually adapted to the sunlight outside the cabin, he realized that what he was riding was actually a A gigantic warship of Ye Kingdom.

Following the direction of Fan Zhen's finger, the young man vaguely saw a tall man standing on the towering berth.The opponent skillfully manipulated the various steering wheels and connecting rods around him.Mechanisms, large and small, are connected to the cables on the ship and pull the sails.And that man was wearing a green robe and a green robe, with loose hair fluttering in the sea breeze, it was Xiang Baili who had been away for many days!

"Why is General Baili here? Is he the boss you mentioned? Could it be that Big Brother Fan is also a member of Ye Kingdom's boat master?" The black-eyed boy asked in surprise.

"How is it possible, Master Ye almost drove my family to extinction, how can I go with them?" Fan Zhen waved his hand, as if what the other party said was a big joke.

"But isn't General Baili the commander of the boat division?"

A strong sense of distrust suddenly surged in Jiang Yan's heart.Just at this time, a flag hanging on the stern of the ship also broke into his sight from the corner of his eye—but it was not the sea falcon flag with black background and white stripes of Ye Guozhou Master, but a blue and wide corner flag .A white giant whale leaping out of the sea is painted on the flag, which clearly shows the identity of the ship under his feet and the identities of everyone on board!

"This is a ship of pirates! You, and General Baili—who are you?! This is not real, I must be dreaming!"

A sudden burst of dizziness surged in Jiang Yan's head, causing him to stand unsteadily on the deck. He staggered back a few steps, but stopped Fan Zhen loudly, who wanted to reach out to help him, as if standing in front of him. A man is his own enemy.

With the recovery of his memory, he always believed that the main culprits who attacked the fishing village and ruined his family were those pirates in the Chanying Sea.However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the most powerful general in the world who had been teaching him carefully for more than three years, the dignified military guard in front of the Ye Kingdom Hall, had actually mixed up with these pirates!
General Tsing Yi, who was manipulating the rudder, was attracted by the noise on the deck.Seeing that the young man was able to get off the ground, he handed over the steering wheel to the assistant beside him, and he got off the slipway slowly, tied his clothes around his waist indiscriminately, and said with a smile, still with an unrestrained appearance:
"Although they are called pirates, they are not necessarily criminals. In fact, the vast majority of us are just ordinary people who want to live a peaceful life."

The black-eyed boy gritted his teeth.He turned his face away, refusing to greet the other party.Not only because the hatred for the pirates in his heart is still hard to get rid of at this moment, but also because he doesn't know how to respond at all.Seeing that the atmosphere between the master and the apprentice became a little awkward, Fan Zhen took the first step and cupped his hands and said:

"Boss, this brat treats us—"

"You don't need to ask, I know everything about him. I can't blame him for the hatred in my heart now. After all, if we can still talk and laugh casually in the face of what we believe to be the killing of relatives and enemies, then there is no need for us to save him on board. Right?"

Although Jiang Yan was still angry, he felt that what the other party said seemed reasonable, so he turned his head, stared at General Tsing Yi without blinking and asked:

"If the pirates were not evil, why would they massacre my village, kill my parents, and cause me to be separated from my sister? If you are really good people, why would you be called murderous bandits by the world?"

"What if I told you that the map hidden in the Baibi originally belonged to us and belonged to Qingwan? The so-called pirates are just lies fabricated by people with ulterior motives for their own benefit and malicious slander. That's all. I remember you once said that when the fishing village was attacked, I heard some strange noises, like thunder, or firecrackers set off during the New Year's festival. Until now, this sound is very important to you , should it not be so strange?"

General Tsing Yi just smiled, still looking like a persuasive teacher.

"Could it be that it was Qi Shouyu, Marquis of Jinghai who killed my whole family back then?!"

The black-eyed boy suddenly came to his senses, and raised his clenched white fists in front of his eyes, but curled up his body, trying to suppress the anger that was about to burst out of his heart.

"It is not yet possible to be sure that what happened back then was done by him, but it must be inevitable. After all, those powerful firebolts are exactly the same. However, there is a debt to blame, and since things happen, there will always be truth. one day."

Hearing what Xiang Baili said, the black-eyed boy gradually let go of his guard: "Then dare to ask the general, who are you?"

Faced with such a direct question, the other party did not shy away from it. He nodded slightly and continued: "I am an orphan, and my surname is no longer important. Although Xiang Baili is a borrowed name, he has accompanied me for twenty years. Yu Zai, he is me, and I am him."

"Borrowed name?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes, wondering if he heard it wrong.

"That's right. I borrowed this name from the real Xiang Baili. It's not so much a borrowing as it is a divine will. After all, I did it for the first time to save the all-powerful brother Fufeng. kill."

"Fufeng?! Are you talking about Ye Fufeng, the leader of the pirates known as Fufeng in naval battles, who frightened all the princes and states?!" In this way, the black-eyed boy was even more surprised and surprised, and hurriedly asked.

"It's him. Apart from him, there is no other person in the world who dares to call this name!"

The man in Tsing Yi finally opened up the conversation box, telling what happened to him 20 years ago: "23 years ago, I was just a homeless orphan living in Yeli City, Yizhou. My ancestors I was originally a descendant of the Nanhua General, but his family was in trouble, so he could only depend on his mother. Just when the imperial court sent troops to Dongli, he was forced to be involved in this hateful war, and my mother died because of it. You are a little older."

"Isn't Dongli the hometown of Sister Jia? Could it be that you have known each other for a long time?"

"That's right. Xiaojia and I also met in Yeli City. But—that's all for later."

Xiang Baili nodded slightly, and did not elaborate on his relationship with Leng Jiayun:
"Back then, the Dongyi rebellion was suppressed by the imperial court. There were seriously injured and dead soldiers everywhere in the city. The poor people were also starving, and Yizi ate each other. The king's division went all the way south and attacked Yeli City, but could no longer advance half a point. You know, most of Dongli are loose fortresses, hidden deep in the warm and humid rainforest full of poisonous insects and beasts. If you do not occupy Ye Licheng and go back to Tongjiang to go deep into the hinterland, even if Emperor Baijiang is alive It’s hard to win.”

"Well, the general taught Ziyin and me about the pros and cons of the Dongli battle."

"So, in Yeli City back then, people outside wanted to go in, and people inside wanted to come out, but they couldn't do what they wanted. And I, like other people in the city who suffered from the war, was trapped there, panicking. Not all day long. Until one day, I was so hungry that I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I went out from a dog hole under the city wall, trying to find some supplies that fell from the corpses on the battlefield. But I never thought that instead of finding Instead, they rescued a seriously injured man from the pile of corpses."

"Is it Ye Fufeng?"

"Yes, it is Brother Fufeng! Seeing that I was pitiful, he gave me the last half of cornbread on his body, and told me not to stay outside the city too much. After learning that I practiced martial arts since childhood, he even Give me your saber for self-defense."

"So, the leader of the pirates, who is so distasteful to talk about, seems like a good man."

"Of course he is a good man! At that time, I wanted to carry Big Brother Fufeng back to the city to seek medical treatment, but unexpectedly, I ran into the same team of soldiers sent by the imperial court to put down the rebellion. The red coral necklace is quite exquisite, so I drew my knife and rushed forward to grab it, but unexpectedly, I, a thin and dirty little beggar, actually hid a knife behind my back, and my first strike was a killer move."

Speaking of this, Xiang Baili still clenched his fists tightly, as if the hot blood from that year was still hot, surging up from the veins again:
"All over the world, there are many sanctimonious beasts in clothes and clothes. Seeing that the people are in trouble, they don't help them. Instead, they try every means to grab the last bit of property, money and food left in the hands of the people!"

"That's right, killing a killer just for a string of necklaces. What kind of master is this? It's just a man-eating ghost! If it were me, I would kill them without hesitation!" Jiang Yan also nodded immediately. Agreed, and then asked, "But why did Ye Fufeng travel thousands of miles south to Yizhou?"

"Brother Fufeng went to Yizhou back then. In fact, he brought a ship full of goods. He wanted to exchange some food and cloth for his people with the mainland. It happened that he caught up with the war. When he was trapped in Yeli City, he Shocked to hear that Qingwan, which is far away in the depths of the Chanying Sea, was attacked, and the women, children, old and weak on the island were brutally slaughtered, he immediately led several cronies to break through, but was seriously injured by the rebellious army and fell on the battlefield outside the city .”

"The general is saying that someone took the opportunity to attack that Qingwan?"

General Tsing Yi nodded his head: "Exactly. Although we don't know who did it, we can be sure that the people who attacked Qingwan back then were trying to snatch the ancient map left by the ancestors!"

"It's that picture again! Could it be that the sneak attack back then was also related to Qi Shouyu? It's really abominable!" Jiang Yan finally understood all the causes and consequences of what he had encountered in these years, and he hated that pious, short and fat prince even more.

Xiang Baili was noncommittal about this: "I haven't been able to investigate this matter clearly. But judging from what happened on Hailing Island, it should be almost the same."

The black-eyed boy turned to ask again: "But how can you, a mere child, easily replace a court general?"

The general on the opposite side continued to explain: "At that time, Master Wang suffered a lot of casualties. Nine out of ten people could not survive a month. Brother Fufeng saw that I was similar in size to the dead general, so he asked me to disguise himself and snatch him away. His seal of command proved his identity. In addition, Xiang Baili had no prestige in the army, and no one broke it. In this way, I sat on the position of general in a grand manner. In addition Brother Fufeng persuaded the people in the city to open their doors and surrender by exchanging a ship full of supplies. You all know what happened afterwards."

Jiang Yan nodded.He has long been familiar with the battle of his teacher's fame: "Later, the general led [-] volunteered elite soldiers to fight the last decisive battle with the rebels in the city, and won the first battle. The people in Licheng did not commit any crimes, and even announced tax relief for three years. Therefore, more than [-] cities in Dongli, large and small, all laid down their weapons, and the years-long rebellion ended."

"It's a pity that not long after that, Brother Fufeng was seriously injured and died. Before he died, he passed on the position of the leader of Qingwan to me, and asked me to find out the culprit who attacked Qingwan. Later, I sealed it as commander-in-chief. When I came to Ye country, I was appreciated by the lord and became the military guard in front of the temple. I gradually found the old brothers of Fufeng who were scattered all over the place. Together with the five thousand elite soldiers who were willing to follow me through life and death, I was able to restore Qingwan. "

After talking about the past, Xiang Baili also looked back from the sea, and looked at the child in front of him with sincerity:
"In the words I said to you today, there is no falsehood. But whether you believe it or not, it is still up to you."

Although the story of Baili's rebellion against Xiang Baili has long been familiar, Jiang Yan still couldn't help sighing when he learned about the unknown stories behind the year for the first time, and was deeply affected by the other party's deeds without hesitation nodded:

"I don't doubt the general!"

"It's really like me when I was young, with clear love and hate, and not sloppy! Good, good!"

Xiang Baili looked at this stubborn and stubborn child lovingly, but his face gradually became serious:
"However, if you believe me, then you have to hurry up and recuperate while you are still on the boat. Fan Zhen has already told me about the encounter between you guys and Qi Shouyu in Hailingyu. He has been planning to usurp the throne for many years. Now I might be the first to murder the king! Over the years, Qi Heyin has protected the country and loved the people, and he has been more kind to me. He is a rare virtuous monarch in the world. After we landed, we must hurry back to Mulu City! I just hope it's not too late now!"
