Chapter 64(1/2)

The Longze is approaching, getting closer and closer.

Jin Shiqi stared at the big ship, feeling nervous. He didn't know the progress of "winning silver" on the island. He had been beaten by Yuan Chonghuan just now, and now his head was full of confusion.

Yuan Chonghuan shouted towards the boat: "Where are you going?"

Finally I saw the person clearly. It was Yao Mengyang and several other young men standing on the deck of the Longze, waving to this side. They were still shouting something, but the wind was so strong that they couldn't hear anything. Two big boats were passing by.

They passed each other shoulder to shoulder and separated. At that moment, Jin Shiqi knew something in his heart——

The deck of the Longze is clearly two feet lower than the Wuteng here, and it is sailing away with a full load!

Jin Shiqi was about to laugh out loud and covered his mouth. He said sweetly in his heart: Mr. Yuan, you must feel good about yourself and think that everything in Liaodong is under your control. You still don't know the profits of that "fly camp and dog dog".

It slipped away before your eyes.

But then another problem arose: the Wuteng was about to dock again, but thousands of soldiers and horses were gathered on the shore, and they looked tense.



When the Wu Teng arrived at the harbor, all the generals on board rushed to the deck and watched in shock the confrontation between the two armies on the shore——

Longwu's elite soldiers were trapped in front of the "Neiku" gate at the foot of the mountain, forming a defensive formation. The smoke was slowly rising in the team, and the matchsticks were burning, ready to light blunderbuss and grenades at any time. Jin Shijun stood in the middle with his horse and spear drawn.

The soldiers and horses of Xiuwu Camp were arranged in four conical formations, aiming at the two wings of Longwu Camp. Wu Sangui rode forward and ordered the Longwu soldiers to retreat.

The chief eunuch Liu Yingkun also felt the tense atmosphere and asked in surprise: "What are they doing?"

Yuan Chonghuan said indifferently: "Practice troops."

Liu Yingkun breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, let's start!"

Before the Wu Teng could dock safely, Man Gui had already jumped onto the pier. He rushed between the two armies and said with thunderous kindness: "What are you going to do!"

Jin Shijun: "I was ordered to protect the inner treasury!"

Wu Sangui: "I was ordered to take over the inner treasury!"

Mangui shouted: "You bastards, come here!"

The civil servants and military officers on board the Wu Teng disembarked one after another and joined the generals on the shore. For a moment, the stars gathered like a woven ribbon. Jin Shiqi exclaimed, "Ah, what a scene of a happy reunion! But it seems like someone is missing.

?...Where is Qiao Huan’s smiling tiger?”

The new Longwu general Qiao Huan was not present. However, he saw his old enemy Wu Xiang. After not seeing each other for a month, Wu Xiang had gained weight again and his face was still wrapped in a bandage.

Wu Xiangzheng quickly dismounted and ran straight to Liu Yingkun and Yuan Chonghuan. He first signed up for his number, then knelt down and kowtowed three times. When he stood up, his forehead was covered with snow and cement, and there were still a few small particles on it.

The stones show his sincerity.

Liu Yingkun smiled and said: "Wu Dusi, I received the gift box."

Wu Xiang yelled "Ah", fell down and kowtowed three more times. Even the bandage was covered with ice and snow. "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Liu Yingkun said hurriedly: "Du Si, hurry up. I heard that you were at Shanhaiguan before the war. When the smoke started, you rushed out to welcome the enemy. What a role model! What's wrong with your face, Du Si?"

"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing to worry about." Wu Xiang was about to brag when he suddenly saw Jin Shiqi walking out. Wu Xiang immediately gritted his teeth secretly and was filled with hatred.

Jin Shiqi was surprised and said: "Ah! Uncle Wu Shi, you are alive!" He looked very happy.

Everyone was astonished and heard Jin Shiqi say: "That day I rushed out of seclusion and lost my way and was almost killed by slave soldiers. Fortunately, Uncle Wu saved me." After saying this, he bowed deeply and said, "In order to save me, Uncle Shi's face

He was also stabbed by a slave soldier."

Wu Xiang was shocked and thought, wasn't it you who chopped it down? But he couldn't argue now, so he just said vaguely: "Yes, it was really dangerous at that time."

Jin Shiqi added: "You have another injury, on your buttocks."

Now everyone was shocked, and Liu Yingkun hurriedly asked: "You also know this?"...

Jin Shiqi smiled and said: "When Wu Dusi was injured, he fought with me." This was very correct. At that time, the two of them were fighting each other and gesturing at their necks with a knife. "Wu Dusi is brave, but it's a pity that no one knows his achievements.

I will report my merits to you later when I get back."

Wu Xiang's face was pale, dripping with sweat, and he knelt down with a cry of "Ouch". Others asked him where he felt uncomfortable, and he vaguely said: "The wound hurts again." Yuan Chonghuan made a timely rescue and asked Liu Yingkun to inspect the army. All the civil and military generals slowly

After moving forward, Wu Xiang escaped this section.

Jin Shiqi did not let him go, squatting beside him and whispering: "Du Si, strangle me to death."

Wu Xiang's face turned three times, and finally said sadly: "My dear nephew, Brother Jin is gone. I'm so sad. My dear nephew, you also need to express your condolences. We must live a good life, right?"

"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your concern." Jin Shiqi bowed gently, "Don't you want to take over the inner treasury? My nephew will open the door for you right now."

"Don't open it, if it's revealed, we'll all die together!" Wu Xiang said angrily, "You're evil, how about we share it equally?"

"How about you open the door and see me? I think Eunuch Liu is quite enthusiastic."

"You are six and I am four!"

Jin Shiqi laughed, but loudly ordered the Longwu soldiers: "Open the door!"

Under Jin Shiqi's military order, the Longwu soldiers immediately changed their formation and stepped aside. Immediately afterwards, the inner door of the inner treasury opened, revealing a dark cave. All the officials present could not help but look over.

"No!" Wu Xiang shouted and rushed forward to stop them.

As soon as the door opened, a foul smell blew in.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the roar of "Lililiwala" inside, and it was the slave soldiers howling and cursing. It turned out that this inner warehouse was the cell of Longwu Camp, and it was the 80 prisoners who were imprisoned.

Wu Xiang suddenly stopped and stood blankly in front of the door. Jin Shiqi smiled and said, "If you want it, I'll give it to you!"



In the evening of that day, all the troops on Juehua Island broke out.

Cha Yingcai and Jin Shijun led the Longwu camp and sent the coffins of the navy army to the west to enter the pass.

Wu Xiang was also assigned an errand: to escort 80 slave captives to Beijing. Those slave captives learned that their departure would be delayed, which made the journey very difficult.

There were also dozens of Jinyi guards and Longxiang guards surrounding the imperial eunuch Liu Yingkun. Together with the people from the Jin mansion and the Longwu masters, they took two large ships, Wuteng and Longze, to go to Tianjin. They also towed two ships behind them.

"The general's leather boat".

At this moment, Jin Shiqi held Mo'er in his arms, standing at the stern of the Wu Teng and looking back.

The cold wind blew slowly, and Juehua Island was gradually submerged in the waves at the stern of the ship, followed by Zhangshan Island. Jin Shiqi knew that after this separation, it would probably be difficult to set foot on that beach again.

Turning around, there was the Longze dozens of feet away on the port side. Two large ships were approaching side by side. The fat man Yao Mengyang was standing on the opposite deck. His expression could not be seen clearly, but he must be laughing. The guy was still young.

Gently patting the railing of the Longze ship, it felt... like a pregnant woman proudly caressing her belly.

The 256 pockets were all stuffed with silver, an estimated 380,000 taels in total, all in the Longze's belly.

General Qiao Huan was also on the boat.

Jin Shiqi later learned that Qiao Huan and his men rushed to the dock just after the silver was loaded onto the ship. It can be said that "people die for money", and he even fainted and wanted to board the ship for inspection. As soon as he got on the deck, the sails on the ship were broken.

It was "accidentally" lifted up, and the Longze "accidentally" sailed out of the harbor. Poor general, he left all the private soldiers on the shore. He had to face alone in the cabin, holding money and screaming and carousing.

A group of thugs.

Later, Zha Yingcai reported to Yuan Chonghuan: Longwu Commander Qiao Huan also escorted the eunuch into the pass, and we couldn't stop him. Probably the general also wanted to take the opportunity to get attached to him.

At this moment, Ji Rui walked up to Jin Shiqi and asked him: Where did General Qiao end up?….

Jin Shiqi sighed in his heart. He remembered that the day he first arrived on the island, Qiao Huan was the only one among the four generals of Longwu who was kind to him. That guy also proposed the plan of "Floating City on the Sea". Although he was mocking himself, it was still considered a good idea.

...A lovely guy. Maybe in some time and space, he will become my good friend.

Jin Shiqi sighed: "He knows too much."

The north wind on the sea was fierce, which was the best side wind for the Longwu fleet. The two large ships pushed away the waves and traveled hundreds of miles a day. On the third day, they arrived at Tianjin Wei. The waters of Tianjin were also covered with ice floes, and only

Long and narrow waterways are accessible.

The two large boats were dragged into the inland river by the trackers and came together smoothly on the river bank. But then an accident happened - General Qiao Huan slipped and fell when he was getting off the boat. He was wearing three layers of armor and sank quickly.

He fell into the biting river water and became the last General Longwu to die in the line of duty in the sixth year of Apocalypse.

All the Longwu masters stood in a row facing the river and observed silence.

The moment of silence is over.

Eunuch Liu Yingkun said to the princes: "My condolences, princes, I will report it to Your Majesty and give him a reward. Now it's dinner time again, and I'll treat you this time."

"OK."

Liu Yingkun said mysteriously: "I know the best place in Tianjin, with good food and wine, and even better girls!"

All the young gentlemen were surprised. "I wonder where my father-in-law is going?"

"You bastards from the military town must have never heard of Aiwanlou!" Liu Yingkun sneered, "I heard that there is a sister named Chen Zhuzhu who has become popular recently. I'm going to ask for advice."



Jin Shiqi didn’t want to go to Aiwanlou, really.

It's not that this hero doesn't love beauties. With his current status and family fortune, he no longer has to worry about his wife and concubines. He can keep anyone he likes by his side in the future. He doesn't want to get involved in the "public resources" of Aiwanlou.

Jin Shiqi said to the young masters: "Don't go, we are still in the period of filial piety."

"It's been seven days, it's okay."

Jin Shiqi said: "I want to guard the big ship."
