Too arrogant!

The pirates actually attacked the inn in front of all the senior officers of the Guangxi Army! They chose the moment when Jin Shiqi and his elite soldiers greeted the supervisor; what they burned was the food that the supervisor had worked hard to transport. (That is,

How arrogant!

Looking at the black smoke rising from the goods yard, Zhang Guowei swayed and almost fell. In the past two months, he has been running around Guangdong, scraping houses, sweeping tiles, and digging three feet into the ground.

His sweat is all over the place. Food is so valuable now. How many people will go hungry this winter, and how much infamy will Zhang Guowei bear?

"General Jin!" Zhang Guowei held Jin Shiqi tightly, but was speechless. Thousands of words are contained in these three words.

"Don't worry, sir. It's not that easy to burn my food." Jin Shiqi's words were resounding. When these words came out of his mouth, who could have any doubts? Zhang Guowei suddenly felt at ease.

Jin Shiqi nodded to Cha Yingcai, who then gave repeated orders to the officers: all units were dispatched, some to attack, some to outflank, some to put out fires, some to pursue, and other places also strengthened their defenses. In just one minute,

The arrangements were made properly. In front of the inn, horses neighed and soldiers rushed forward, like torrents of indigo rushing towards the goods yard!

The scene was handed over to Cha Yingcai to command, and Jin Shiqi asked Zhang Guowei to mount his horse and return to the camp first. Maybe the pirates had bigger moves, and they had to take charge of the overall situation. Zhang Guowei looked at his food reluctantly, and Jin Shiqi advised him: "

A few mice ran into the cat's nest to steal food. They are really looking for death! Mr. Zhang, please mount your horse. Let's go back to camp and wait for good news."

…[

Half an hour later, Jin Shiqi and Zhang Guowei just arrived in front of the main camp at Jinghai Pier. Zhang Guowei looked back and saw red firelight lingering in the mid-air to the west.

"General, look!"

"It's normal, this is the light of a volley of fire cannons. It seems that our firepower is very strong!"

…

Half an hour later, Zhang Guowei was counting money with Jin Shiqi when he suddenly saw a thick and long black smoke rising from the west, twisting and spreading like a wild python into a large black cloud in the blue sky! There was still smoke in the air.

The aroma of burning popcorn fills the air.

"General!"

"It's normal. According to my experience, this is putting out a fire. Incomplete combustion of food after it encounters water is the black smoke."

…

Another half hour passed,

In front of the gate of the camp, Jin Shiqi was desperately holding Zhang Guowei, preventing him from mounting his horse to check the battle situation. However, several cavalrymen rushed to report the news, all of them with extremely serious expressions. Zhang Guowei suddenly broke away from Jin Shiqi and rushed to the cavalrymen and roared: "

Speak! I am the supervisor, you tell the truth!"

"They all ran away," a cavalryman said sadly. "More than a hundred thieves came, but none of them were caught. They all ran away."

"Where's the food?"

"It's all burned. Even the inn, it's all burned to ashes..."

"Jin Shiqi!" Zhang Guowei wailed, a thousand words were contained in these three words. Then he fell to the ground.

…[

Jin Shiqi and others carried the supervisor into the room, kept fanning him, slapping him in the face, and pinching him, and finally revived him. As soon as Zhang Guowei opened his eyes, he murmured: "Food, my food..."

"

Jin Shiqi personally brought a cup of tea and consoled him: "Sir, don't worry, it's only more than a thousand stones of grain, so just treat it as charity for the people."

Zhang Guowei raised his hand and overturned the teacup, staring at Jin Shiqi fiercely, wishing he could swallow him!

Jin Shiqi still smiled and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Sir, please relax."

Zhang Guowei sat up suddenly, "You... I was praising you just now! What a hero, what a helper in the same boat, it's really... embarrassing!" After saying that, two old tears rolled down.

Jin Shiqi also suddenly felt guilty. The guilt was not about the food, but the worry that if things continued like this, he would drive Zhang Guowei crazy. Our Guangxi army finally met a supervisor who liked him, so we must cherish him!

Jin Shiqi backed away, dragged a stool and sat in front of Zhang Guowei. "Brother Zhang." His voice was very low, but his eyes were sincere. "I said that I lost the battle just now. Do you believe it?

?”

Zhang Guowei stared at Jin Shiqi, and after a while he said coldly, "On purpose? Why did you do this?"

"Give Zheng Zhilong confidence!" Jin Shiqi's eyes sparkled, "Let him know that our officers and soldiers also have omissions. As long as he works hard, there is hope of victory. The food was burned so magnificently today... I mean tragically, and this was our plan.

"In the past few days, we have set up a comprehensive plan based on Zheng Zhilong's psychology. It's too late to tell you, brother." He lowered his voice, "Generally speaking, you can understand it as a bait. Let's let him know today."

Zheng thief takes one bite, and tomorrow he bites again, and the day after tomorrow he bites on the hook."

"One bite today cost me more than a thousand stones of grain!" Zhang Guowei still couldn't let go, "Do you know how many people will starve to death this winter because of this grain... That grain is the blood, sweat and lives of the people, not given to

You’re the bait!”

"Master Zhang, that's right. On the battlefield, everything can be used as bait. Whether it's food, grass, weapons, cities, territories, or even the lives of generals, they can also be used."

Zhang Guowei stared at him blankly, "Jin Shenjiang, you didn't tell me the truth for more than an hour after the incident. If I hadn't forced you to ask, how long would you have kept it secret from me?"

"I want you to understand it more deeply." Jin Shiqi smiled kindly, "In the future, there will be more of this kind of thing."

Zhang Guowei suddenly sneered, "Ha, I understand. My Zhang Guowei's performance today is like a waste. He hid in the camp when the enemy attacked, and fainted from fear when the food was burned! If I guessed correctly, what I did today

This embarrassing situation will definitely spread. After Zheng Zhilong hears about it... his confidence will definitely increase! Jin Shiqi, you even took advantage of me!"

"Oh, I really didn't expect this!" Jin Shiqi's eyes lit up, "Sir, you are right, I will make arrangements right now to spread the news about today's events..."

"Jin Shiqi, you are so... you are so unscrupulous!" Zhang Guowei was trembling with anger, but after a while he finally sighed, "Okay, I'll put my face aside and let you do it!"

"Brother Zhang, you are so kind."

"Brother Jin, if you can't capture Zheng Zhilong, don't blame me for settling the score with you with all the profits."

…

Of course, in the evening, Jin Shiqi went to the city to visit Xiaoyao as usual. It was really windy and rainy.

He rode a horse and walked along the street in the center of the town, escorted by his own soldiers. Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and a columnar object fell from the height of a roadside restaurant, hitting Jin Shiqi on the head.

He fell off the horse without saying a word.

"There are assassins!" "Meet the enemy!" The soldiers suddenly jumped up - catching Jin Shiqi with all their hands, and then pulled out five or six steel knives. In an instant, three or four shields blocked Jin Shiqi's body.

Before the dangerous object even hit the ground, it was kicked away by a soldier. It was spinning in mid-air. It was vaguely a small bamboo stick for support.

"Ah...I'm sorry!" A delicate female voice came timidly.

Jin Shiqi opened his eyes and saw a woman in red standing behind the third floor of the restaurant, with a cute smile. When he looked carefully, it was Yan Ning, Sister Yao's personal maid. "It's a misunderstanding!" He hurriedly got rid of the kiss.

The soldiers supported me and said, "Put down your bows and arrows and take away your shields. Don't block my sight."

Yan Ning saw Jin Shiqi clearly, and immediately held her chest and let out a breath, "I was scared to death. Fortunately...fortunately..."

"Fortunately it was me who was hit?" Jin Shiqi looked at her with a smile, "Sister Yan, you must have done it on purpose."

"How dare you!" Yan Ning chuckled, "The lady has calculated that the general will come this way. She is waiting upstairs. She ordered the slaves to open their doors and see where the general's horse has gone. Is there anyone in the slave family?

I paid attention and dropped the stick... I didn't expect that the blow was really accurate."

She glanced at him faintly, "Actually, it's all the general's fault. Why did you come so early today?"

These words were spoken softly by the woman, which was really touching and charming. Many young and ignorant private soldiers downstairs suddenly blushed with embarrassment. Even Jin Shiqi, a guy with some experience, was so excited that his whole body ached.

Damn, I don’t know how to respond.

Yan Ning looked at him and smiled charmingly, "Why don't you come up quickly?"

…

This is the only restaurant in the small town of Jinghai. The facade is old and dilapidated, the dark latticework and wooden walls are stained with white water marks, and the semi-open hall exudes an air of staleness. A wooden carving hangs on the low lintel.

The name of the store is the word "Jinghai". Jin Shiqi saw it and felt a little in his heart.

Opening the door on the third floor, there were only two people in the small cubicle, Ding Yao and Yan Ning, sitting and standing at the small round table.

Seeing Jin Shiqi come in, Yan Ning helped Xiao Yao and slowly stood up to greet her. Her fever had subsided, but her body was still very weak. She didn't even have the strength to speak in the past few days. Unexpectedly, she took it upon herself to run away today.

Went out on a date.

"You're not obedient, you have such a small body!" Jin Shiqi went over to help her and made an angry expression.

Xiaoyao pursed her lips and smiled, then turned her face to avoid his sight. She was originally a generous and decisive young aunt, but since she made the shameful act of "crying for marriage" a few days ago, she was in Jin Shiqi's eyes.

There was a bit of shyness in front of her. She lowered her eyes and asked softly: "Isn't there a war today? Brother, I thought you weren't coming."

"That's nothing!" Jin Shiqi smiled indifferently, "It's just burning an inn and burning some military rations. Did you see that big smoke column? It's spectacular!"

Xiaoyao glared at him angrily, "Why don't you feel bad?"

"How can I not feel distressed?" Jin Shiqi's expression was solemn for a second, "But what happened has already happened, there is no point in feeling distressed, let's focus on the future!" He patted his chest, "Don't worry, my brother has sent troops to remedy the situation.

Come here."

Xiaoyao suddenly smiled, "The soldiers and horses my brother mentioned are the ones who just entered the town... Grandpa?"

"That's right, it's them." Jin Shiqi laughed. "Don't underestimate those grandpas."

After the post station was burned down, Jin Shiqi sent 400 soldiers to rebuild the post station. He also threatened that more grain and grass supplies would arrive in the near future. Zheng Zhilong, if you have the ability, come and burn it again. Let's see if you burn faster or my brother and I can build it faster.
