King Yong ran away, and he ran very decisively, without any sloppiness.
Qi Yu admired his courage and courage.
Why do you say that?
You see, the current sea is very windy and rough, and the sky is pouring with rain. To chop through the wind and waves in such a harsh environment, and to sail in the deep sea, is something that only those with extraordinary courage can do!
So, here comes the problem.
He ran away, should I chase him or not?
Qi Yu hesitated a little...
Chasing the enemy in this environment requires taking great risks. If you turn your back, you will end up being overturned by the wind and waves and sinking directly.
The gains and losses involved must be weighed.
The final result of the calculation is: you can’t chase!
This also makes sense.
You see, if he is really recovered, he can only be handed over to the provincial government and above for disposal. As for himself, apart from a verbal praise, he will not receive any practical benefits.
From another point of view, Prince Yong's escape can just help him take the blame. If one day the superiors ask where the property of Prince Yong's house has gone, he can evade it and say that he escaped.
Time was taken away. In this way, even if the money is lost, no one can hold the theoretical handle.
Well, only a fool would pursue it!
Qi Yu smiled, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to chase me. If you go sailing on the sea in this environment, you will definitely have a narrow escape. Maybe King Yong has capsized and died in the sea."
At this time, Harry made a sign of the cross on his chest very cooperatively and echoed: "King Yong has bad intentions and kills too much. God will definitely punish him... Ahem, in my opinion, let's not get entangled.
Now that’s all, go and take a look in his little vault!”
cut!
You golden thief, a typical money worshiper!
However, after giving him a sideways glance, Qi Dalang accepted the proposal in a good-natured manner.
However, before raiding King Yong's home, there is one more important thing to do, and that is to find out the whereabouts of Yin Tao.
The reason why I was so eager to attack Tuen Mun was for two reasons. One was that I wanted to borrow some money from King Yong, and the other was to rescue this little girl.
Of the two, saving people was the most urgent, so he rushed over anxiously.
Since there were still many things to do at the moment, it was best to divide the work, so Qi Yu made arrangements.
He ordered Fu Xian to lead his men to count the captured enemy assets, such as guns, food, supplies, etc. Then, they all were loaded onto his own ship, ready to be transported away at any time.
Peng Wenchang and Harry were responsible for finding King Yong's treasury. This was the top priority of the trip and must not be neglected. They must be carefully investigated.
As for the matter of inquiring about Yin Tao's whereabouts, I would personally supervise it. There was no other way, no one else knew her, so I had to do it myself.
"Dad, do you really care about this woman named Yin?" Xiaotong stepped out and asked her father.
"Xiao Nizi, where did you think you were?" Qi Yu straightened his face and said, "Didn't I tell you earlier? This girl is the sister of an old friend of mine, and I have inherited her brother's favor.
, so I had to come to the rescue. Don’t complicate the problem."
Xiaotong nodded and said with a smile: "What I want to say is, if dad wants to summon this girl, there is no need to go and find her personally."
Qi Yu asked curiously: "Oh? Then... what should we do?"
"It's not difficult. Dad just needs to arrange for people to sound gongs everywhere in Tuen Mun. She will definitely appear in front of you in a short time." Xiaotong said.
"Oh? Really? Why is this?"
"Dad, don't ask why. You will know if this trick works or not."
Oh well!
You little brat, you actually got into trouble with dad and me, but dad believes in you.
So Qi Yu followed his daughter's example and ordered his subordinates to beat gongs in the Tuen Mun area to announce his arrival.
After the arrangements are made, I have some free time, what should I do?
How about going to Prince Yong’s mansion?
good!
When Xiaotong heard this, she volunteered that she could lead the way for her father.
She had secretly spied on Tuen Mun before, and was quite familiar with the surrounding environment, so it was not difficult to lead the way.
"Daddy, this way!"
"Um……"
After several twists and turns, the father and daughter finally arrived at King Yong's residence.
Qi Yu looked up, but couldn't help but feel disappointed.
What can I say? Although this mansion is magnificent, it is definitely not luxurious, and it is somewhat different from the grandeur imagined.
However, anyone who is an official pays attention to not exposing their wealth, and the same is true for the prince, so it is reasonable to keep a low profile.
Moreover, the land of southern Guangdong is already barren and cannot compare with the wealth of Jiangnan. If it is too eye-catching, it will cause trouble.
Just as he walked into the gate of the palace, he saw Peng Wenchang walking over with his head hanging down.
"Master Qi, I searched the inside and outside of this mansion, and apart from some gold and silver utensils, I didn't find even a single silver ingot. Could it be that...all these wealth were taken away by King Yong when he escaped?
"
What? Can’t find it?
What a weird thing.
Qi Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I think it's impossible. You see, from the time we destroyed the shore-based artillery to the time we breached Tuen Mun, it took less than two hours. It's unlikely that King Yong would be able to defeat Tuen Mun in such a short time."
The baggage will be transferred within a short period of time."
After a pause, he continued: "He escaped in a very hurry. It was already very good if he could prepare food and fresh water. How could he have time to pack up his belongings? Therefore, I judge that most of his gold and silver baggage.
It is still within Tuen Mun."
Well, that makes sense.
King Yong's big ship has been completely destroyed. If he escapes, he can only take a small boat to sail across. Then imagine, even if he fills the small boat with silver, how much money can he have?
Haha, at best it's just the tip of the iceberg.
Therefore, the Dabaoshan in King Yong’s treasury is still there.
In this case, continue searching!
So Peng Wenchang cheered up again and continued his treasure hunting work.
Xiaotong, on the other hand, ran to Fu Xian to help take stock of the captured guns and artillery.
This is a rare rest time for the coach.
Then take a rest.
So Qi Yu found a seat, made a cup of tea, and leaned there with his eyes closed to relax.
Now that the stress is gone, my mentality is very relaxed, and the accumulated sleepiness is suddenly ready to stir up.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep leaning there.
Unexpectedly, during this brief moment of intoxication, he actually fell into a dream.
Daydreaming?
This time it's true.
In this reality and illusion, Qi Yu dreamed back to his imperial examination era. He held the books of Confucius and Mencius in his hands and read them tirelessly out of the cold window.
His wife Liu Quan, on the other hand, was wearing red sleeves. She said nothing and just looked at her husband silently. Her eyes were full of longing for him to succeed.
This long-lost aura of a humble family once again appeared in Qi Yu's heart. It felt so warm and comfortable.
Suddenly, he saw his wife's red lips slightly parted, and whispered to him: Mr. Master, it's getting late, you can rest...
Rest?
Haha, this sentence sounds so tempting~~
Qi Dalang's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he touched his wife's hot earlobe and said coquettishly: "Tonight, we will be hoeing at noon..."
The dream came to an abrupt end at this point.
Because, a sudden gentle voice brought him back to reality from his dream: "At night... we can still have noon. Isn't this a contradiction?"
Cough, spit!
Who is this person?
It disturbed my sweet dream!
But when he opened his eyes, Qi Yu was stunned.
Because he found that he was grabbing the earlobe of a female version of Yin Jun and murmuring something in a very intimate manner.
Look again.
Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her charming beauty is reserved but elegant, and her gaze is elegant but delicate. Just a glance at her makes her heart rate surge.
Is it...Yin Tao?
Huh? When did she come?
And why was he holding her ears?
This, this, this...
Made a mistake?
It must be that I, Qi Dalang, am so handsome and charming that all the beauties have lost their immunity!
Being handsome is also a sin!
But, how should I say this opening statement?
Let me think...
"Whoever wakes up from a big dream first, I will know in my life..." Qi Yu opened his sleepy eyes again and recited.
Yin Tao, however, was full of autumn water and asked like water: "Huh? Are you awake?"
"Eh? Is it you?"
"Well, it's me!"
Qi Yu first wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and then sat upright.
After looking around, I realized that there were only two of them in the hall, and the ambiguous feeling of men and women being alone in the same room couldn't help but become much stronger.
