After getting on the boat in Danyang, Wu Chaoyue, who had almost no eyes closed for two days and one night, finally lay down and went to bed. After a night, she slept until noon the next day, and she rarely enjoyed a lazy life. At the same time, after waking up, the one who was serving Wu Chaoyue was no longer the stupid, big, black and thick soldiers, but the white, sweet and beautiful widow Fu Shanxiang.

Like before, Fu Shanxiang knelt down and served Wu Chaoyue. Wu Chaoyue, who was completely a modern person, couldn't stand it, so he took the initiative to say, "Miss Fu, you don't need to kneel down at any time. I don't have this rule here, get up."

"Master Wu, I am willing." Fu Shanxiang refused to stand up and said softly: "Master, you are my reborn benefactor. I am willing to serve you like this."

"But I'm not used to it." Wu Chaoyue said with a wry smile: "The maids in my family have never served me like this, and my grandfather has never set such rules, so you should get up, otherwise I'm not used to it."

Seeing Wu Chaoyue insisting repeatedly, Fu Shanxiang then obediently changed his kneeling to squat. While wearing shoes and socks for Wu Chaoyue, he asked carefully: "Dare you ask Mr. Wu, who else is in your family?"

"I have only one grandfather and seven grandmothers in my home in Shanghai. They are all my grandfather's concubines. The youngest grandmother is about the same age as you." Wu Chaoyue replied casually, "As for my parents and my biological grandmother, they are all in their hometown in Guangdong."

"Then Mr. Wu, do you have wives and concubines? What should I call me?"

Fu Shanxiang asked more carefully, and quietly looked up to peek at Wu Chaoyue. After learning that Wu Chaoyue is still a lonely virgin who has no wives or concubines, Fu Shanxiang couldn't help but show a little joy. After seeing Fu Shanxiang's happy expression, Wu Chaoyue finally woke up and asked with a smile: "Why? I care so much about whether I have wives and concubines, and I'm worried that they can't tolerate you?"

Fu Shanxiang's pretty face was a little red, and he didn't dare to answer Wu Chaoyue's question. Wu Chaoyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are lucky. Not only do I have no wife or concubine, I also have no marriage. I will take you back, no one dares to say anything."

Fu Shanxiang's face turned redder, and he plucked up the courage and asked again: "Master Wu, can your grandfather tolerate me? Master, you also know that I am a poor family and will kill my husband before I get married. Is it a taboo? Master, your grandfather is an official, will he..., do you think I am unlucky?"

Wu Chaoyue laughed loudly and comforted Fu Shanxiang with a smile and said, "You are more at ease. Let's not say that my grandfather doesn't care much about these things. Even if he cares, as long as he sees me safely back to Shanghai, he can care nothing and not mind. You don't know how much my grandfather loves me. If I want the stars, he will never give it to the moon. I said I want to marry a wife who is not covered, and he can send someone to propose marriage without saying a word! So don't worry, my grandfather will not say anything that is not allowed to let you in unless..."

Speaking of this, Wu Chaoyue paused, and his old illness relapsed, blurted out: "Unless I want to marry you, my grandfather will definitely object, and he will definitely raise a ruler and slap me in the butt."

Of course, such jokes cannot be opened in this era. Fu Shanxiang's face was relatively thin, and he suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and dared not say anything, and his heart was pounding. Seeing this, Wu Chaoyue, who had been salivating at Fu Shanxiang, was itchy. He couldn't help but stretch out his claws and raised Fu Shanxiang's chin frivolously, admired her charming and shameful attitude, and began to think about whether he should ask Fu Shanxiang if he would be a concubine for himself. Fu Shanxiang's pretty face was flushed, his beautiful eyes were closed, and he did not resist at all. He looked obedient and obedient to let Wu Chaoyue do evil.

Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Hui Zheng, who had ruined Wu Chaoyue's good deeds last time, came to make trouble again, and even pushed open the cabin door without saying hello, "Weiting, I heard you wake up..., haha, sorry, it seems that your good deeds have been ruined by brother."

Hui Zheng said this, of course, when he saw the ambiguous actions of Wu Chaoyue and Fu Shanxiang, Wu Chaoyue was so scared that he quickly took back his sword. Fu Shanxiang was so embarrassed that he covered his face and ran away. Hui Zheng himself laughed foolishly. In the end, Wu Chaoyue could only ask Hui Zheng to sit down in embarrassment. While making courtesy with Hui Zheng, he asked about his purpose. Hui Zheng said, "I'm here to tell you that we are almost in Wuxi. Should we rest on the dock?"

"No need." Wu Chaoyue said with a heart-warming look: "You can rest on the boat and go back to Shanghai directly. Although it is safe to take this road, it is too detourable. My grandfather will definitely receive the news that Jiangning City will break first. If I don't go back quickly, he might be very worried."

Hui Zheng nodded in agreement, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Weiting, this time you have followed the constitutional order of the Land Mansion to escort him out of the city to mobilize reinforcements. Although the Land Mansion was killed by Changmao stray bullets on the way to break through, you still protected his body and broke through Changmao's siege. It can be regarded as a result of merit and demerit. Then you also killed Wei Changhui, the pseudo-North King of the Bandit, and made great contributions to the court. I wonder when you plan to issue this memorial and merits?"

"Let's talk about it when you return to Shanghai." Wu Chaoyue replied yawningly: "If Changmao knocks down Jiangning, he will definitely peek at the throat of Zhenjiang waterways. The waterways of the canals may not be smooth. When you return to Shanghai, it is safer to go to the land station."

Hui Zheng nodded again, then suddenly hesitated and said, "Weiting..., brother, brother Yu has a ruthless request. I wonder if you can agree. Brother Yu, you know, in the Wuhu war, brother Yu, even the Daozhuan City was lost. The city lost its land, the army was lost, the country was lost, and the country was lost. Then, although Lu Jiantai gave Brother Yu the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Brother Yu had not made any contributions in Jiangning City, so..., so..., brother, can you..., can you...?"

Hui Zheng's thick-skinned and dark-hearted heart was far inferior to his eldest daughter. As soon as he said this, his face turned red and he was embarrassed to continue talking. But that was enough. Wu Chaoyue already understood what he meant, and immediately smiled and said, "Brother, who said you have not made any achievements? During the breakout war, in addition to killing eight long-haired men, you also came up with an idea to use a plan to trick me out the pseudo-North King Wei Changhui and kill Wei Changhui twice. If the emperor knew about these things, he would not care about your previous mistakes again."

Unexpectedly, Wu Chaoyue would give him the credit so readily. Hui Zheng was overjoyed, so of course he quickly thanked Wu Chaoyue. Wu Chaoyue smiled and helped Huizheng up, then patted Huizheng's hand and said, "Brother, I think you'd better write another letter to your eldest daughter. She is the most convenient way to speak in front of the emperor. As for the cost of sending a letter to the palace, I can also bear it for you."

"Thank you, brother." Hui Zheng also patted Wu Chaoyue's hand and said with a treacherous smile: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely write this Taoist book. Brother, brother, you are so amazing. I promise that no one can take away your great achievements."

Wu Chaoyue took the initiative to express his willingness to let Huizheng get the credit. In addition to his good relationship with Huizheng, the most important point is of course to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the lead in Cixi, insert the channels and sources of information directly to the pillow of Emperor Xianfeng. At the same time, without realizing it, Wu Chaoyue gradually lost his previous mentality of living by the way to Shanghai and began to actively plan his future. So when he was still on his way back to Shanghai, Wu Chaoyue had already decided to expand his army and prepare for war as soon as he returned to Shanghai, and also began to develop and research new weapons to make up for his weak firepower.

"Anyway, when you go abroad, you will be a citizen of the last grade. Instead of bullying foreigners, it is better to learn from Yuan Datou to fight for it. If you win, you will benefit the country and the people. You will help your compatriots get rid of the enslavement of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty decades ago, and you will also bring China into the industrial age earlier. If you lose, you will not be too late to run abroad."

After finally making up this decision, the rented civilian boat soon arrived at the city of Suzhou and turned directly into Wusong River. After getting off the boat along the river, it was naturally faster. It took only one night to enter Songjiang Prefecture, and it was only a few hours left to Shanghai. However, when passing Huangdu Town, Wu Chaoyue, who was eager to return home, remembered Zhou Xiuying, who almost rolled the sheets with him. He couldn't help but climbed the deck and looked south, hoping that a miracle would happen and allow him to meet Zhou Xiuying again.

Unfortunately, Huangdu Town, which was once a thief's nest, had been burned by the local government, and there was no one in the ruins, let alone being wanted by the government. As a result, when Wu Chaoyue was extremely regretful, Fu Shanxiang suddenly appeared next to him, took a piece of clothing and put it on Wu Chaoyue, and said softly: "Master, the wind is blowing on the river. It's better to go back to the cabin and catch a cold."

"It's okay, I'm not that spoiled."

Wu Chaoyue shook his head, but it was fine if he didn't shake his head. As he shook his head and swayed his eyes, Wu Chaoyue suddenly saw someone on a small fishing boat downstream, and he was still dressed as a fisherman. Wu Chaoyue didn't think much, so he quickly raised his telescope and looked carefully. What made Wu Chaoyue unbelievable was that the woman on the boat was tall and graceful, and she was actually a bit similar to Zhou Xiuying. Wu Chaoyue no longer hesitated and immediately shouted loudly: "The fishing boat over there, shake it, I want to buy fish."

The woman on the fishing boat obviously hesitated for a while before shaking the boat. As the distance narrowed, Wu Chaoyue's heart couldn't help but jump more and more. The woman on the boat looked more and more like Zhou Xiuying. She just wore a hat and couldn't see her specific appearance. Finally, the woman shaking the fishing boat and stopped at a place only ten meters away from Wu Chaoyue's boat, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What fish do you want to buy?"

"Four-gilled perch." Wu Chaoyue said: "There are a few friends from other places on the boat who want to buy some four-gilled perch that only Wu Songjiang has to treat them."

"No." The woman shook her head and said, "There are swordfish, crucian carp, but there are no four-gilled perch."

When he shook his head, it might be because he was distracted. The woman's voice did not deliberately pretend to be hoarse, revealing some of the original voices, which made Wu Chaoyue hear the clues at once. He was even more excited, but he did not dare to break her true identity. Wu Chaoyue didn't know what to say for a moment. But Fu Shanxiang next to him reminded: "Master, what should I do if there is no fish you want?"

From the edge of the hat, Fu Shanxiang appeared next to Wu Chaoyue. The woman's body was obviously shocked, and her hands couldn't help but hold the boat oar tightly. Wu Chaoyue didn't understand her thoughts, and just shook her head and said, "Since there is not, then you go. The wind is blowing, your boat is small, be careful."

Without saying a word, the woman shook the fishing boat away. After she walked away from Wu Chaoyue's fleet, the woman also lifted the hat on her head, revealing a pretty face full of tears, and choked at Wu Chaoyue's ship, "What's so arrogant? There is a beautiful woman around her, she deliberately called me to you for me to see, and she deliberately said something caring about me, why are you angry? Do you think I really like you? Fake foreign devil dog master, I have long forgotten you! Forgot!"

He was tough, but the woman's beautiful eyes were even more tears. Finally, she simply squatted down and covered her face with her hands and cried...

In the afternoon, the Shen hour was approaching. Wu Chaoyue's fleet arrived in Shanghai successfully and docked at the Beimen Wharf. Before the sailors put down the springboard, Wu Chaoyue, who was eager to return, had already jumped straight onto the wharf. However, his skills were too poor and he did not stand firm when he landed. He slipped his feet and sat directly on the wharf. The pain made Wu Chaoyue scream like a pig killer, which also made the people on the wharf burst into laughter. What Wu Chaoyue never expected was that such a shout sounded in the crowd...

"Ghost! Ghost is here! Dead ghost is back!"

The crowd was in an uproar, but when Wu Chaoyue looked up in surprise, he saw a yamen runner in Shanghai pointing at him and shouting, "That's a ghost! His grandfather was holding a funeral for him at his house, and he ran back again. He was a ghost! A ghost!"

As he shouted, the scared yamen run away, scaring the crowd around him to run away. Wu Chaoyue knew something was wrong, so he quickly ordered Huang Dasha and Deng Siyuan to take Lian Yong back to the camp to rest, and then hurriedly led Wu Dasai and Hui Zheng and his daughter back to the city. As a result, when passing the city gate, the officers guarding the city also rushed to escape with tears and shouts. Wu Chaoyue ignored them and rushed back to his home.

As expected, as soon as he arrived at the intersection, Wu Chaoyue saw that a soul-suming banner had been hung in front of his house. The courtyard wall was even white. Even the trees on the roadside were covered with white cloth, and the paper money on the ground was piled up several inches thick. Wu Chaoyue was both angry and funny, and rushed straight over. As a result, the servants of the Wu family who were filial and filthy appeared when they saw Wu Chaoyue appear. They were also scared to death, crying and running away. There was also a timid servant who was frightened and fainted.

Even more lively was still behind. When Wu Chaoyue rushed into his home's door, he saw that there had been a tall mourning hall at home. There were countless men and women crying in front of the hall. When they saw Wu Chaoyue coming in, the people were immediately in chaos. When they screamed and almost rushed over the mourning hall. The guests who were eating the big family even scattered. They rushed over and over the tables and chairs, and smashed wine glasses, bowls and plates. Then, Wu Chaoyue saw his spiritual card decades in advance. The seven words on the spiritual card were exactly the same as Sun Wu Chaoyue!

The worst thing is Wu Jianzhang's seven side rooms. Seeing Wu Chaoyue appear suddenly, three of the seven side rooms were shocked and fainted. The remaining four two people collapsed directly on the ground. One of them was tripped while escaping. Only Wu Chaoyue's youngest grandmother was a little bolder. She kowtowed to Wu Chaoyue and cried: "Chaoyue, you let me go, let me go, don't take me away! Your grandfather is already giving you a slight marriage. She is a 16-year-old yellow girl. Her transfer door and your birth date have been sent to the life hall. You will not be alone below! If you feel that it is not enough, you can send a dream to your grandfather and ask him to take a concubine in the underworld. You can take a few rooms!"

When he was amused and crying, Wu Jianzhang, whose eyes were swollen, was finally helped out by his servants. Seeing his baby grandson appear, Wu Jianzhang was not afraid, but just stumbled forward, hugged Wu Chaoyue, and cried, "Sun, it was grandpa that I killed you. I shouldn't force you to be an official, I shouldn't force you to be this official, I shouldn't force you to be a victim! Grandpa, I don't want to live anymore. Take me away, take me away."

While crying, Wu Jianzhang didn't notice what his baby grandson was saying. He just suddenly saw Hui Zheng brought back by Wu Chaoyue, and suddenly knelt down to Hui Zheng on both knees, hugged Hui Zheng's legs and cried loudly, "Master Wuchang, Master Wuchang, I know you are Master Wuchang. Take my grandson back to see me. I thank you! Please tell the King of Hell, let my grandson resurrect, I will follow you, and I will go to the underworld for my grandson! You can do as much money as you want, and you can do as much money as you want!"

"Do I look like black and white impermanence?"

When Hui Zheng was depressed, a group of foreign priests suddenly came in outside the door. Without seeing the situation in the yard clearly, they spoke in stiff Chinese and said to Wu Jianzhang sadly: "Wu, we have prayed for your grandson. Although he did not confess before he died, we must beg the merciful Lord to let him go to heaven!"

"You are just going to heaven!" Wu Chaoyue finally roared, "Who said I was dead? It was that bastard who said I was dead?!"

Martin and Maidus and other foreign priests were stunned, but the matter was not over yet. Two foreign consuls Aliguo and Qi Liyun walked into the yard in black suits. They couldn't wait to shout without seeing the situation clearly: "Wu, let me tell you a good news. We have jointly sent an envoy to negotiate with the Taiping Army people and strive to get your grandson's body back!"

Wu Chaoyue was completely speechless and could only ask in a wail: "What about my cemetery? Have you chosen my cemetery for me?"
