Horse on the World

Chapter 754

A huge fleet formed several combat groups on the Blackwater Ocean far away from the coast. Apart from the fleet centered on the two giant ships Qiyuan and Kaitai, the one at the forefront of the fleet was a An outpost composed of five thousand warships, two three thousand warships and dozens of other small ships.
Today the sea is extremely stormy, and it can be seen that even five thousand warships are fluctuating with the waves, and those with only a thousand materials are the first to climb, Chimagang is even more unbearable, appearing on the crest of the wave for a while, and falling to the bottom of the valley for a while.
On the deck of the Qiyuan, there was a table full of various dishes. Deng Peng and King Zhou sat opposite each other. Although the wind and waves were strong, for a super giant like the Qiyuan, , but it still doesn't look good enough, it's just a little ups and downs.
Staring at the huge fleet under his feet, Deng Peng was filled with pride. A few years ago, he was just the commander of a dilapidated ship, and with a foolish master who only knew how to make money, the majestic navy fleet turned into a Being a smuggled ship, this made him feel ashamed and frustrated. But just when he thought that his life would be spent in mediocrity and unwillingness, Li Qing came.
The arrival of Li Qing gave him a dream. It gave him a hope to realize his lifelong wish.
Now, several years have passed, this dream has finally become a reality, with a huge fleet criss-crossing the black water ocean, the fear of the past has become a bright road for the Dingzhou navy.
At that time, I only dreamed that one day I could become the commander of a five-thousand-material warship, and I never even thought about the ten-thousand-material giant ship, but now, the five-thousand-material warship has become the main force of the Dingzhou Navy Combat strength, and the Qiyuan under his feet is the real giant on the Blackwater Ocean.
Although I don't know why the lord, an army general, has a special affection for the navy, and he resisted all opinions at the beginning of Dingzhou's development, set up a navy and spent a lot of money on equipment, but Deng Peng is really happy. He is glad that he met Fucked a good lord.
"His Royal Highness, King Zhou, I respect you!" Deng Peng raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Riding the wind and waves, watching the heroic appearance of battleships, admiring the strong wind and huge waves, and serving wine with it is a great blessing in life!"

King Zhou was born on the island and grew up on the island. He is no stranger to wind and waves, but his expression is still a little reserved. King Zhou is not a fool. From the bottom of his heart, he chose to surrender at the beginning, although it was to prevent the island from suffering greater disasters. , but the further step is for his own safety. Compared with the emperor who is about to become the restored Zhou Dynasty now, he actually wants to honestly do what the former Dingzhou Marshal Li Qing promised to do.
The contradictions and anxiety in his heart make him restless. On the one hand, he can let the flag of the Great Zhou fly on the mainland again, and even one day in the future, he will go to Luoyang to worship the ancestral mausoleum in the name of the emperor. The hope hidden in his heart, but on the other hand, he also understands that he is just a banner, a puppet, when Li Qing needs him, he can give himself up, once his role is lost, he will You can also pull yourself down at any time. Once you become the emperor, and get down from that position, there is actually only one way to go, and that is Huangquan Road.
But Deng Peng in front of him is Li Qing's confidant general and the commander of this huge fleet. In front of Deng Peng, King Zhou didn't have the slightest awareness of becoming the emperor. He raised his wine glass with a smile and said: "General So proud. Come on, let's do it!"

The two touched each other with a smile and drank it down in one gulp, but they were in different moods.
Deng Peng stood up and filled the wine glasses of the two of them with fine wine, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Zhou Wang will ascend the throne with the assistance of Marshal Li when he arrives in Dingzhou. At that time, he will have another drink with His Highness." Bowls of wine are difficult, today is a rare opportunity, and I will toast your Highness with a glass at the end!"

The King of Zhou laughed and said, "What are you talking about, General? As long as the General wants to, he can go to drink with me anytime!"

Deng Peng smiled slightly, "Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness King Zhou!" In fact, both of them knew that this was just a polite conversation between each other. Kemba went to him for a drink.
King Zhou sighed, and glanced to the other side of the ship, where her daughter, Princess Yanran, was standing. Although she was only 14 years old, Princess Yanran was a full-fledged beauty. With a light veil covering her face, she was staring at the direction of Taiwan Island.
"The princess is hard to leave her homeland!" Deng Peng said with a smile. "The princess is quiet and virtuous. Although Deng has little contact with him, he has a deep impression on her. The princess's talent and appearance are the perfect match for my family. What a great cooperation! Deng wants to congratulate His Royal Highness King Zhou first. Now that he arrives in Dingzhou, His Highness is enthroned, and the princess is getting married. We in Dingzhou have double happiness!"

Zhou Wang knew that Wei Gang insisted on marrying Li Qing before he surrendered. This was the last bit of weight he fought for to save his life. Maybe at some point in the future, Li Qing would look at his daughter's face and not be too difficult myself, but all of this must first be based on the fact that her daughter can truly become the mistress of Dingzhou. The king of Zhou will not be so stupid as to think of himself as the master of Dingzhou.
"General Deng, I want to ask you a question?" Thinking that his daughter's future is related to his own life, and even related to Zhou's life, although Zhou Wang was a little hesitant, he still made up his mind to inquire.
Deng Peng was a little surprised, but he still clasped his hands and said, "Excuse me, King Zhou, I know everything and can say everything."

"Master Yan once vaguely revealed to me that in Dingzhou, there was a very powerful woman. I heard that Marshal Li's former wife, Princess Qingcheng, died indirectly at the hands of this woman, and this woman has a very different relationship with Marshal Li. Generally speaking, the influence on Marshal Li is incomparable!" King Zhou summoned up his courage and asked.
Deng Peng had a mouthful of food in his mouth. Hearing this question, he immediately coughed and gargled violently. He barely calmed down until he spit out the food in his mouth and drank another glass of wine. Taking this opportunity, he also He took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts. He couldn't help scolding Yan Nanfei in his heart, fearing that the world would not be chaotic. After he went back, he must inform the commander in chief. The dispute between Shang and Qing used to be one of Dingzhou's internal worries. Don't worry about it in the future. Another battle between Yan and Qing came.
"Master Yan has not entered Dingzhou not long ago. Some things are not very clear. I'm afraid it's groundless." Deng Peng said indifferently: "Qingcheng is the princess of Dachu. Marrying into Dingzhou has a strong political purpose, especially after the commander-in-chief's expedition. At that time, he conspired to launch a rebellion and almost killed the commander in chief. After the commander escaped from danger, he committed suicide by taking poison, not because His Royal Highness King Zhou heard these inexplicable news."

Deng Peng, as Li Qing's confidant general, is very clear about Qingfeng's role in the Dingzhou Incident, but even with his current status, he will never gossip about this matter. The most sensible choice.
"Then this woman?" King Zhou asked.
Deng Peng felt that it was necessary to get a vaccination, "The woman His Royal Highness Zhou mentioned is probably Miss Qingfeng, the director of our Dingzhou Intelligence Agency Supervision Institute?"

Zhou Wang nodded again and again, "I heard that this girl is extremely intelligent, unparalleled in talent and beauty, and won the favor of the handsome man. So, marry Yan Ran?"

Deng Peng smiled, "Miss Qingfeng and the Marshal were friends in need. When the Marshal was still a local general, Miss Qingfeng was by his side and helped him form the world-renowned intelligence agency in Dingzhou. In the process of Dingzhou's rise, he has made great contributions. He is an indispensable core leadership of Dingzhou and has a huge influence on Dingzhou. Needless to say, Deng Peng deeply admires it. As for appearance, hahaha, His Royal Highness King Zhou and Princess Yanran are not bad at all compared to them. Orchids in the deep valley and peonies of riches and honours. mind."

King Zhou nodded and raised his wine glass to Deng Peng, "Thank you, General Deng!" Deng Peng's words revealed a lot of information. The layer of paper was pierced.
As if she knew she was talking about her, Princess Yanran, who was far away from them, turned her head and looked at them. Deng Peng toasted from a distance, and Princess Yanran bowed slightly to signal. She behaved generously and politely, which is indeed the style of everyone.
"General Deng, I was born on an island, and I am no stranger to sailing on the sea. For a while, we have been circling in circles on the sea. According to General Deng, we are not in a hurry to return to Dingzhou? And now the enemy has already chased us. Come on, General Deng, with all due respect, if the rebels of the Qin family knew the news of my existence, they would definitely want to get rid of it quickly, why is General Deng still so procrastinating at sea?" King Zhou changed the subject.
Deng Peng laughed, "Is His Royal Highness the King of Zhou willing to go fishing?"

King Zhou was stunned, "General Deng is trying to lure the opponent, do you want to fight the opponent at sea?" Nodding his head, "That's right, the fleet under General Deng's command is so powerful and the soldiers are so elite, as long as you choose a favorable battlefield, It's not hard to beat your opponent."

"No!" Deng Peng shook his head and said, "At this moment, I am looking for our main force everywhere. The opponent who intends to fight me is the most prestigious naval general on the mainland. I want to be stronger. As for the command ability of the two of us, I would like to challenge it."

The King of Zhou paled suddenly, "Stronger than your fleet?"

Deng Peng nodded, "That's right, General Zheng Zhiyuan took away part of the fleet of our Dingzhou Navy, and now the opponent is indeed stronger than me."

"Then why don't we leave quickly, wouldn't it be a big disaster if they catch up to us?"

Deng Peng twirled the wine glass and said, "His Royal Highness, we are fishing right now. The drunken man's interest is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers! I don't want to catch my opponent and circle around the black water ocean. How can we go fishing?" Calculate the opponent? The battlefield is not here, but the opponent's lair. Your Highness, when we are enjoying the scenery on the sea, their lair is probably in a mess at the moment. a little bit."

"You mean that there is still a fleet in Dingzhou?" Zhou Wang was surprised and delighted, "If this is the case, once the opponent gets the news, they will definitely withdraw to the rescue nest, and we will not be able to fight here!"

"No, I will definitely fight, at least one fight, not only I think so, but also the other party thinks so!" Deng Peng stood up and threw the wine glass in his hand into the sea.
"A big storm at sea is coming, within three days, there will be a fierce battle between our two sides!" Deng Peng turned his head and said firmly.
