Chen Kai was not ignorant of the whispers circulating among the Zheng clan members inside and outside the city, but he just ignored them for the time being.

The punishment of Ling Chi Ma De Gong and Huang Shu lasted for three days. The two executioners were like a competition, cutting off the flesh of the two culprits piece by piece, but in the end they were tied. However,

If Chen Kai were to make the assessment, he would still be more inclined to think that the executioner who chopped up Huang Shu was more skillful because Ma Degong was a military commander and was very skilled in martial arts. The muscles on his body were all real, except for his abdominal muscles.

, is a bright spot; and Huang Shu, a guy who doesn’t do anything practical except thinking about scheming people all day long, is not a very high level guy, but he is used to being pampered, so it should be more difficult to cut it.

.

After the punishment was over, the remains of these two guys were naturally thrown into the wilderness. The remains of the victims were buried after tasting the feast of revenge. For this reason, Chen Kai specially allocated a sum of money to provide coffins for those who could not afford them.

Or the body could not be claimed by the family and was buried in a coffin. It is said that some thoughtful people seemed to have found a new crime of using the Zheng family's money to buy people's hearts.

The heads of Ma Degong and Huang Shu were specially pickled with lime. One of them was the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Right Army, and the other was Xingquan Dao, the deputy envoy of the Fujian Prosecution Department. They were both officials certified by the Qing court.

The grade is to be sent to the court in exchange for a few words of verbal praise.

These two guys have returned to their hometowns, and Feng Junrui has also finished writing the book review. Chen Kai read it carefully. The text is vulgar and there are even a lot of typos, but the number of words is touching and the content is good, especially the description of Zhang Xuesheng and Xiao Xiao

It can be seen that Zhuang's text has great potential for writing pornographic novels. In time, maybe it can really compete with Li Yu who is writing "lesbian novels" in Hangzhou.

After passing the exam, Chen Kai released the guy who had delayed his future of writing pornographic novels because he was a dog for the Qing court as promised. He even picked out a few of Feng Junrui's soldiers and cronies from among the prisoners and took them away together. He would return later.

It would be nice to have a helper with the Qing army. As for what he would say to Zhang Xuesheng after he returned, Chen Kai had prepared it for him.

It was a story of narrow escape from death. When Ma Degong discovered the Ming fleet, he issued an order to resist. Ma Degong was the commander, and he also had Huang Shu, the military counselor. Even if it was an accident, he would be a counselor.

He didn't dare to disobey orders. So he fought bravely, but Ming Ming's warship was so big that he was knocked into the water and almost drowned. Finally, when he was dying, he recalled that Zhang Xuesheng's kindness of knowing and encountering him had not been repaid, so he encouraged him.

With his last bit of strength, he hugged a piece of wood. Thanks to the blessing of Zhang Xuesheng, he floated, floated, floated, and finally floated to the shore, and finally survived. However, the Qing army was almost wiped out.

They kept reining in the defeated troops until a few days later, when they could no longer find the bodies of Ma Degong and Huang Shu, they came back to report to Zhang Xuesheng.

Zhang Xuesheng may not really believe this statement, but Feng Junrui is also his confidant, so he still has a chance to speak. As for how to make Zhang Xuesheng determined to protect this confidant, Chen Kai gave him a certificate of Xiamen Island

I asked him to memorize the map clearly, and when he arrived at the governor's office in Fujian, he began to draw pictures for Zhang Xuesheng. In this way, although the army was defeated, he got a solid topographical map, and he could barely make up for it. As for the blame, Ma Degong and

It is most appropriate for Huang Shu to carry it on his back. Because only dead people will not refute!

"Jingcheng, the terrain of Xiamen Island has been known to the Lu division. I'm afraid it's not good."

"If the Japanese army cannot land on the island, it will be useless with or without a map; if the Japanese army can land on the island again, it only means that our army has been reduced to the point where we have no ability to defend this place. At that time, they will still be able to seize the island even without a map.

."

This is what Chen Kai told Chen Bao and Hong Xu. Feng Junrui's matter was limited to Chen Bao and Hong Xu. Even Lan Deng, Lu Ruoteng and Chen Kai did not disclose it. However, the treatment of this person was just

It is just a possibility within the Qing army in Fujian. Chen Kai is not sure whether it can really play a big role. It is better than nothing.

After solving Feng Junrui's problem, Chen Kai sent someone to warn Anping Town. Soon, people from the Zheng clan who lived there and from Shijing's hometown came by boat one after another, including Zheng Hongkui's mother, Mrs. Huang. Only Zheng Zhibao

, but still stayed in Anping Town. In his words, he stayed there to vent his anger to the Qing army. Otherwise, they would not be able to catch the Zheng family. The Qing army would most likely harm the Zheng family’s ancestral graves. That way

He is the real unworthy descendant.

Zheng Zhibao's "righteousness" caused a sigh of relief among the Zheng family of Ishii. At the same time, Chen Kai was too nosy and "forced" Chen Bao and Hong Xu, two old men of the Zheng family, to intercept and kill Ma De.

The fact that he was the culprit of such a huge disaster caused even greater dissatisfaction.

During this period, Chen Kai went to visit Mrs. Huang, but was rejected. Then he went to see Zheng Hongkui, but was rejected again. After that, Chen Kai went to visit Zheng Hongkui's eldest son, Zheng Xiyuan's brother, who had always been under the pretext of filial piety.

In the name of his grandmother, he stayed with Zheng Zhaoji, who lived in Anping Town, but ended up being rejected. The three generations of his family were connected to each other heart to heart. The Zheng family of Ishii was really well-established, powerful, and powerful. Chen Kai had nothing to say about it.

However, his marriage to Zheng Xiyuan was also delayed. But this war is inevitable. If you want to win a complete victory, some things must be delayed. This is something that can't be helped. As for the marriage, Chen Kai

When I went to visit, I didn't plan to explain it all at once, it was just a courtesy. In the end, to be honest, it still depends on Zheng Chenggong's energy. Only this man with the surname Guo is the key to all this.

However, on March 18th, it was originally a good day for Chen Kai to go to Kinmen Island to welcome his bride, and then return to Xiamen Island to get married. He was still at home behind closed doors to thank guests, but he received a shocking news at night.

We quickly left Zhongzuosuo City and headed south all the way to the beach of Xiamen Island.

A small pier on the seaside is so small that it can only be used by a few small fishing boats in the still-empty fishing village not far away. Here, at this moment, a figure that is incompatible with the place appears.

here.

In the sea breeze, her clothes were fluttering, and her skirt and silk ribbons were pulling hard to the west. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the girl just stood there silently, like a winter plum in the biting cold wind, as if she would fall in the next second.

It was torn into pieces, but it was still there, motionless.

What she wants to wait for is actually just a word. Even the old servant who brought her here not far away and the dowry maid who is always by her side know it clearly. However, what can other people know? She just wants to hear what is happening to her.

Even if what she hears in the end is not what she wants, she will not hesitate to say something from the person she loves.

Unlike Nie Niang and other fishermen who have endured hardships, Zheng Xiyuan has been a beloved child that Zheng Hongkui and his wife have held in their hands for fear of falling, and held in their mouths for fear of melting. She has been standing here for a long time.

Her pretty face has been blown pale by the sea breeze, and even the red lips have faded. Her thin body is still trembling slightly. Her old servants and maids who have watched her grow up have tried to persuade her several times, but she still hasn't had the slightest problem.

He was shaken until the sound of carriage bells came from the distance, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"he came."

Late at night, at the seaside, there are carriages and boats waiting in the distance, and the pair of beautiful people looking at each other on the pier. If there is still a slight drizzle in the sea breeze, an oil-paper umbrella may be able to replace a thousand words. But it is a pity.

The wind here is dry, just like the atmosphere between the two, there is no difference.

From Kinmen Island, under the strict protection of her mother, aunt, and sisters, she persuaded an old servant who had watched her grow up to come all the way across the sea with her dowry maid. What she wanted was just a word, but she

She was not able to ask, she just looked at the man in front of her silently, the man who was supposed to officially marry her today, the man who would stay with her for the rest of her life.

Chen Kai knew why Zheng Xiyuan came here and what she wanted to say. He wanted to explain to Zheng Xiyuan why he wanted to kill Zheng Zhiwan and why he intercepted and killed the Qing army despite her father's obstruction.

Originally, he had already thought about the rhetoric, such as those gold and silver jewelry worth tens of millions of taels of silver, such as the contribution those gold and silver treasures can make to the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, such as the innocent good people who were massacred by the Qing army,

Such as the children of the Zheng family who were brutally murdered by the Qing army, such as the bad consequences if the Qing army was allowed to escape, and many more such things, he had already thought about it clearly, and even said it on his lips. However, when he saw this woman, he

I can't say it anymore.

Chen Kai knew very well that what Zheng Xiyuan needed was just a word of comfort, or a hug, a shoulder on which she could cry, but he couldn't give it to her. Because he had already accomplished this, he could scheming with anyone.

But he never thought about using this girl as a springboard for promotion, and he never thought about deceiving this girl, even if it was just a so-called well-intentioned deception.

It wasn't until this moment that Chen Kai fully understood that he really liked this beautiful and kind-hearted girl. However, from the beginning, this girl was far less important than his ambition to expel the Tartars and rebuild Chinese civilization. Maybe it really was.

As he had thought earlier, he might not be worthy of a romantic love. It was not because it was too extravagant in the end of the world like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. It was just that he

The emotional investment is so unfair to this girl.

The two looked at each other silently, and it has been like this since the moment they met again. It has never changed. After looking at each other for a long time, Chen Kai finally broke the silence, but only said "I'm sorry" and turned away.

, then boarded the carriage and set foot on the road back to Zhongzuosuo City again.

Silently watching the direction of Chen Kai's retreat, Zheng Xiyuan covered her mouth until she was sure that Chen Kai had gone far. She could no longer hold on and collapsed on the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes and formed a line in an instant. Hometown
