Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 568
"I originally thought that the master was worried that the rainy season would come early and the sea route would be difficult. But by chance, I heard the boatman talking to the island guards, and I realized that there seemed to be some kind of red-bearded pirates coming to attack Taoyuan Island. It is said that those red-bearded pirates The master is very afraid of having something more powerful than a thunderbolt in his hand. That's why he moved to the new city early, relying on the favorable location of the new city to resist and counterattack foreign enemies..."

"Red bearded pirates?" Lian Qiao stomped her feet anxiously, "Is it still the same kind of pirates as before? These ruthless creatures, with so many dead bodies hanging on the White Bone Island, can't they be scared?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case. It's probably because some powerful people came from outside and colluded with the remnants of those pirates."

Cheng Dayou kowtowed, feeling very guilty, "The slave is guilty, the master is in a hurry to return to the voyage, and there is no time to ask a few more questions."

"She didn't want you to send a message. That's why it has nothing to do with you. Get up."

Gong Zhiming's hands behind his back were already firmly clenched into fists. It is said that a man is the heaven of his wife and children, and it is a matter of course to protect his wife and children from being harmed.

But it seems that the woman has been frightened and suffering with him since she entered the door, and has never enjoyed a day of peace.

Now he has to face the invasion of a powerful foreign enemy alone, and he is not even willing to send him a letter.

He knew that she didn't want him to be distracted, and she didn't want him to give up the foundation he had laid so hard and rush away thousands of miles away.

But she never knew that it was this considerate heart that made him feel more guilty, and anxiously wished he could step closer to his wife and children.

If he doesn't have his wife and children by his side, what's the use of gaining the whole world?
"Prepare your horse, I'm going to Quanzhou"

"General?" Everyone was a little surprised, and Yu Chihui was about to stop him, "I'm afraid the rainy season has already started at this time, even if you go to Quanzhou, you can't go to sea."

That's what he said, but he still didn't dare to say some words.Now the Donghao envoys have just arrived, and the negotiation has not yet started.The world is unified and the empire’s hegemony is at the critical moment. If the negotiations fall apart because the protagonist leaves, then...

"Do you want to resist?"

The blood in Gong Zhiming's eyes welled up, and Yu Chihui's whole body turned cold when he saw it.It was as if the general's eyes were so red when he first saw the village that was slaughtered by Tiele when he was fighting against Tiele.

"Yes, General."

Yuchi regretted not daring to hesitate any longer, turned his head and ran out.There are too many things to prepare for such an urgent trip, horses, reliable and loyal manpower, and dry food...

Lianqiao also hurriedly cleaned up, she must go back with the general.The master and the sisters are in danger, how can she stay alone to enjoy the blessings?

Doctor Xiao Zhou doesn't know martial arts, so he definitely won't succeed, and he can't help but stamp his feet on the spot in a hurry.

But when Fang Xin flashed through his mind, the old father and the entrustment of all the civil and military people secretly sighed in his heart, and replied, "Let's go, I will go with you. At this time, even if you can't make it to the island, Always go and see."

Gong Zhiming nodded, strode into the study room, and wrote down a few imperial decrees. It happened that old general Chu and his son arrived after hearing the news, took the decree directly, and became the left-behind ministers.

A group of fast horses stepped on the moonlight, left the capital in everyone's sweet dreams, and galloped all the way east.

It was not until the next morning that the ministers of Dayue came to the court to know that the general had already left the capital for a hundred miles...

This is not bad, originally I wanted to keep the enemy out, but I didn't expect to be pulled from the bottom of the pot.

In fact, they are all elites who have wandered in the officialdom for many years. Everyone knows the current situation, and the unification of the world is almost inevitable.But Dai Viet now takes the initiative, and if it is stretched out for one more day, the future Dai Viet will gain even more weight in the empire.

Therefore, Dong Hao's envoy was made things difficult all the way, and received a cold reception after entering Beijing, and everyone did it on purpose.Before, I was somewhat worried that the general would stop him, but the general didn't do anything other than bring his friends into the palace.Everyone was relieved, and even arranged a lot of "good shows".

Unexpectedly, Dong Hao was so treacherous that he "lied" back to the general.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty yelled at each other, almost into a rage.I can't wait to tear out the culprit and nail it to the pillar of shame.

But after the definite news came out, everyone shut up honestly.

They didn't even dare to complain about the empress who had never met but was respected by everyone.Not to mention how much the emperor loves him, even if the common people know about it, they can drown them alive with their saliva.

When I had no relationship with Dayue before, I was suspected of being involved in the disaster and countless people were affected by the disaster. Now the people in the disaster-stricken prefectures survived the cold winter relying on the grain brought by the empress, and brought back the seeds that the empress bought every year. Rural farming.

Such a grace of survival is like reborn parents, whoever does not think of kindness is simply inferior to a pig and a dog...

The more officials in Dayue thought about it, the more discouraged they became, but Donghao's envoys burst into cheers. Everyone said that Mr. Fang did a good job. Regardless of whether the news is true or not, the credit should definitely be attributed to Fang Xin.

So, everyone cheered up and prepared to negotiate with Dai Viet to compete for the most favorable terms...

While Gong Zhiming and the others were on their way frantically, Fang Gui, the chief steward in Fang's dock in Quanzhou, was so embarrassed that he wanted to jump into the sea.

"Mr. Qin, the rainy season has come. The rain is still light now, but it will be strong anytime. If you really can't go to sea, you will stay in Quanzhou for two months. When the rainy season is over, the servant will definitely send you to the island immediately."

Qin Rui, who was dressed in a loose samurai uniform, raised his eyebrows indifferently, and insisted, "Even if your young master is here, you can't stop me from going to the island. I will pay ten times the wages for the manning of the boat."

As he spoke, Qin Quan, with a bitter face, slowly put a bag of money on the table.

Fang Gui wished he could kneel down and beg for mercy, his mind was like a galloping horse.He didn't understand, why did this good emperor come here to embarrass him if he didn't do it?

The rainy season has come, as long as those who want to survive, no one dares to go to sea in the heavy rain, it is not a matter of how much wages are paid.

But Qin Rui has made up his mind, not to mention that there might be danger on the island, even if there is no danger, he is not willing to stay in Quanzhou for two months.

Seeing that persuasion was unsuccessful, Fang Gui had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to find someone to sail.

It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. An old boatman had an accident at home and was in urgent need of money. Hearing that the master's family offered 1000 taels of wages, he found a few nephews to take over the job.

So, under the drizzle of the sky, the biggest and strongest ship in the dock set sail under the worried eyes of everyone.

"Send a letter to the master!"

Fang Gui grabbed his hair in frustration, if something happened to the boat, he would really be unable to bear it and walk away.

Not to mention how tossed here in Quanzhou, but because the rainy season has finally started on Taoyuan Island, everyone is very happy.

God is fair, the rainy season is coming, even if everyone can't go to sea, they can only live at home and do some small jobs.The quilt will smell musty if it is not baked for a few days, and the firewood becomes precious.But the pirates who are hundreds of miles away are also unable to go to the island to plunder because of the rainy season.

In the past two months, enough people have formulated detailed contingency strategies and made enough preparations to face the enemy.

Although Chu Lao San was wearing a coir raincoat, he was still covered in clothes when he led people to patrol outside for half a day.

When he rushed to the city lord's mansion to report, Danggui blushed and handed him a set of dry clothes, which made everyone laugh. Needless to say, Danggui hid in the kitchen again and refused to come out.

Ding Wei couldn't help laughing and blaming everyone, "If you continue to behave like this, Angelica will have her revenge. When you get engaged, she won't let you go. Don't complain to me."

Both Baizhu and Jugen blushed, "Oh, master, you're partial to sister Danggui again. We'll just joke around, and you'll fall in love with me."

Everyone laughed, and for a while invited Chu Laosan to sit down and have dinner, and Mr. Wei took Shan Yi to ponder the herbs that he picked back earlier.

Taoyuan Island is located in the southeast, the seasons are like spring, the climate is humid, and the resources of medicinal materials are much more than those on land.There are even some medicinal herbs passed down from generation to generation by the natives, which have never been seen in the mainland.

Previously, Mr. Wei took advantage of the good weather to run into the mountains a lot.Now that the rainy season is here, I can't go out, so I just start tidying up and experimenting with medicines. Of course, the hens or the wild rabbits in the house will be unlucky.

Ding Lao Er has also been obsessed with the design of various mirrors recently. After eating, he went back to his home and plunged into the carpentry room.

This is the only branch of Ding's family left now, and Dabao also lives with Ding's second family.

Ding Wei was reluctant to leave her natal family too far away. When the city was built, two large courtyards were purposely built on the left and right sides of the City Lord's Mansion, and there were corner gates on the walls to make it easier to move around.

The one on the east side is naturally given to the second brother, and the one on the west side is reserved for the Fang family to stay when they go to the island in the future.The courtyard further to the west of the Fang family belongs to the Chu family, and there are more than a dozen of them in a row.

Although it didn't say clearly how noble this street of the City Lord's Mansion is, everyone knew in their hearts that as long as they could live here, they would be extremely wealthy.At least on Taoyuan Island, no one dares to bully her!

Besides, Chu Lao San was thinking about going to see Angelica, and said a few words of kindness. General Chu had already written back and agreed to their marriage. He felt very sorry for his daughter-in-law, who was a sure thing.

So I hurriedly reported a few words, nothing more than that there were no traces of pirates and red beards, and nothing happened.

Ding Wei was funny, and didn't delay people's love, so she sent him out after a few words.It provoked Bai Zhu and Ji Jiao, who couldn't stop laughing.

Chu Laosan relied on his thick skin and ran straight to the kitchen.

Seeing that the master was sitting at the desk, Kikyo hurried forward to light an extra candle, and added a mirror beside the candle.

This is a method I just learned recently. When the masters and masters use the lamps, they are arranged in this way, and it really is so bright that I don't know how many times.

Ding Wei spread out the paper, took a pencil with a screw cap embedded, and began to write and calculate.

Bai Shu was young, so he couldn't keep things in his mind, so he asked, "Master, didn't the three generals say they didn't see the shadow of the red beard, so you should rest for a few days and think about how to deal with it!"

Ding Wei patted her on the shoulder and said with a helpless smile, "Silly girl, it is always right to plan ahead. Besides, you have never seen those red-bearded cannons, which can blow up most of the city wall with almost one shot. If you can refuse Naturally, it is best to keep the enemy outside the door."
