Three hundred and eighty eighth chapter quality and clean
Ordinarily, Yan Shifan, as a mere Shaoqing of Taichang Temple at that time, had no right to order local officials to investigate the bandits. This is not justifiable.
But Yan Shifan's words represent Yan Song's words, and Yan Song's words represent the words of the Ming Dynasty government. Therefore, when Rouge Leopard left, he took with him the decree of the cabinet.
Lai Tiangong, who knew that he had made a mistake, was the most active among all the prefects and county magistrates. He led soldiers from the local garrison to defend all the important roads in Ningbo Prefecture extremely tightly.
If it were Zhan Yu alone, with this time difference, he would have left Ningbo Mansion long ago. Even if he hadn't left yet, he could have easily escaped.
But with the couple and their family of three, he couldn't move fast. In addition, Lai Tiangong moved very quickly. As soon as he found out that the person was missing, he had already started to set up checkpoints before Yan Shifan could reply, so he was trapped in
In a town outside Ningbo.
Ningbo Prefecture has been attacked by Japanese pirates many times in recent years, so there are many dilapidated houses without owners outside the city. Zhan Yu took the three of them to hide and seek with Lai Tiangong's search team.
Finally, the government order had not yet arrived, and Lai Tian's mobilized manpower was limited, so he was unable to find Zhan Yu for a while. However, the scope of Zhan Yu's activities was getting smaller and smaller, and he was in danger.
At this time, Yu Dayou and his personal guards suddenly came to camp outside Ningbo City, claiming to patrol the Japanese pirates. He was the commander of the Japanese capital. The reason was that Yan Song was here, so there was no mistake.
Therefore, although Lai Tiangong extremely suspected that Yu Dayou's sudden arrival was to protect Zhan Yu, he had no evidence and it was impossible for him to have any head-on conflict with Yu Dayou.
If Yu Dayou is really anxious and kills him in the name of being a bandit, even if the Yan Party supports him and kills Yu Dayou afterwards to avenge him, what's the use of not taking revenge for a dead ghost?
Lai Tiangong always risked the lives of others, never his own. Therefore, while he closely monitored Yu Dayou, he kept delivering information to Yan Shifan, hoping that Yan Shifan could show his power and take down Yu Dayou.
Yan Shifan was also very depressed after holding on to Lai Tiangong's information. Of course he knew that as Xiao Feng's chief disciple, it was very suspicious for Yu Dayou to appear in Ningbo at this time.
But just using the word "suspicious" to trigger a third-grade general and remove him from his post is obviously not enough.
Even though Yan Song had the power over the world, he still had to be reasonable in court, even if it was wrong reasoning, you had to reason and convince others. You don't have to convince others, at least you have to be able to convince Jiajing.
But the embarrassing thing is that Yan Shifan took Yu Dayou's golden tiger bone before and asked his father to let Yu Dayou go. Yan Song said good things about Yu Dayou in the court and let him become the commander of Beiwadu.
Now if Yan Song wants to talk to Jiajing about taking down Yu Dayou, on the one hand he has to find a reasonable fault for Yu Dayou, and on the other hand he has to admit to Jiajing that he is dim-sighted and has seen the wrong person.
The former can still be found, but the latter is very painful. Yan Song is not afraid of being slapped in the face. The key is not to hit him too fast. If it takes another half a year, he will kill Yu Dayou.
But now, it is too fast, so fast that it will make Jiajing suspicious, or at least weaken Jiajing's trust in him. You must know that although his blood bar in Jiajing's heart is thick, after being calculated by Xiao Feng twice, he can no longer easily
Squandered.
But Yan Shifan was very smart after all, and he knew that this matter was not unsolvable. No matter how good Yu Dayou was, he could not leave the coastal area. This was Xiao Feng's Achilles heel.
As the commander of the Japanese capital, you are destined to only operate in the coastal area, because wherever the Japanese pirates are, you have to be there. The Japanese pirates will not attack inland, so you cannot go inland.
Not to mention escorting Zhan Yu to the capital, even Hangzhou, Yu Dayou could not go. Because the scope of activities of the Japanese pirates cannot reach that deep! Therefore, as long as several coastal cities are keeping an eye on you, the family cannot leave the coast and cannot reach the capital!
Spend it, I, Yan Shifan, have plenty of time, but you, Xiao Feng, don't have much time. Although Jiajing has not limited you to a few days to solve the case, given his character, he will never tolerate it for too long.
After Rouge Leopard arrived, he took over Lai Tiangong's personal guard with a man with a dull look and a long sword in black clothes.
Those guard soldiers can only be used as a human wall in the encirclement, without much fighting power. The personal soldiers are different, they are all elite soldiers who are fed with money. Rouge Leopard takes these people and disperses around Yu Dayou's camp every day to prevent Zhan Yu
Take someone away secretly.
Yu Dayou came out of the camp alone, without any armor. He was wearing a green shirt and a long sword hung casually on his waist. It was half a foot longer and three inches wider than an ordinary sword. He went straight towards the Rouge Leopard wandering nearby.
There was only one man in black following Rouge Leopard. When he saw Yu Dayou approaching, the man in black unconsciously took a step back. Although Rouge Leopard greeted him with a smile, his body had quietly tensed up.
Yu Dayou cupped his hands and said, "We say farewell to the capital, and the girl's style is still the same. It's just that Yu has poor eyesight and can't tell whether you are an elder sister or a younger sister. It's hard to call you by your first name. No wonder."
That day at Yan's Mansion, Yan Shifan asked the Rouge Tiger sisters to whip the maids in order to show Shen Lian's power, so Yu Dayou met her. However, based on the scene at that time, it is difficult to say that her style is still the same, and it is difficult to say good or bad things.
Rouge Leopard smiled brightly and was full of charm, but she was a little shy. Her tall and beautiful figure was only half a head shorter than Yu Dayou, and she was taller than the man in black next to her.
"General Yu is joking. The general's eyes are as bright as lightning. Although my sisters are very similar, others can't tell them apart. The general will definitely not be able to tell them apart. Since the general asks, I should tell you that I am my sister."
Yu Dayou smiled boldly: "Girl is not enjoying the blessings in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She has traveled thousands of miles to this windy and rainy place. I think she has something important to do. Prime Minister Yan is kind to me. If there is anything that needs my help, girl, just ask."
Rouge Leopard actually hesitated for a moment and then showed his face.
"It's good that the general has this intention. The prime minister is really worried about the rampant Japanese pirates and is worried about it. The young master is filial and wants to share the worries of the prime minister, so he asked me to come over and take a look.
But the young master asked me to bring something to General Yu. Doesn’t the promise that General Yu made that day in the mansion count?"
Yu Dayou said sternly: "Yu is a man of his word. I promised that if I became the commander of the Japanese capital, if there is an emergency military situation about the Japanese pirates, I will inform Yan Shaoqing and I will never forget it. This inspection in Ningbo is just a routine deterrence.
There is no military emergency."
The implication is that you and I both know that what I am doing now has nothing to do with the Japanese pirates, and I have not broken my promise.
This is truly a non-answer to the question, but it is also the clearest answer.
Yan Shifan's question was actually asking him, who would you choose between Xiao Feng and Yan Shifan.
Yu Dayou’s answer is, is there any need to ask?
After receiving the answer, Rouge Leopard stopped talking and just looked at Yu Dayou with a hint of sadness. The man in black behind her suddenly spoke.
"I heard that General Yu has unparalleled martial arts skills. I have been practicing martial arts for many years. I am dedicated to competing with others. I am just a lowly person. I wonder if Master Yu would be willing to give me some advice?"
Before Yu Dayou could speak, Rouge Leopard had already scolded: "Bold, you dare to challenge Master Yu despite your status, stand down!"
Yu Dayou looked at the man's unwillingness and smiled faintly.
"Yu is half a martial artist, so it's okay to spar with you. It's just that the sword has no eyes. If I hurt you at this time, it won't look good on Yan Shaoqing's face.
Let's wait another day, when you don't work for the Yan Mansion, or when I, Yu, am no longer an official, it won't be too late to discuss our differences."
Yu Dayou gave Rouge Bao his hand, turned around and strode away. Rouge Bao looked at his stalwart back infatuatedly and suddenly shouted.
"General, have you really thought about it? Do you really have nothing to tell me? I know that the general has great ambitions to fight against Japan, but without the support of Prime Minister Yan, I am afraid that the general's ambition will not be fulfilled!"
This was a chance for Yu Dayou to make a new choice, and it pointed directly at what Yu Dayou cared about most. Yu Dayou paused slightly.
He didn't care about promotion, getting rich, or even fame, but he wanted to fight the Japanese pirates. Everything he did in his life, whether he practiced martial arts or led the army, was all for this purpose.
Xiao Feng helped him, and the Yan Mansion also helped him. Xiao Feng supported him in fighting the Japanese pirates, and the Yan Mansion could also support him in fighting the Japanese pirates.
But the strict party would prevent him from fighting Japanese pirates for the rest of his life, and Xiao Feng would not do it anyway. What's more, looking at it now, Xiao Feng has no ability to influence this matter.
After such a comparison, the answer is obvious... Yu Dayou took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Rouge Leopard's expectant eyes.
