Upon hearing this, Liu Jinsheng stood up and walked out without saying a word.

His action confused Zheng Zhilong again. At this time, Zheng Zhilong was extremely depressed. Could it be that he had thought wrong again?

When Liu Jinsheng first arrived, Zheng Zhilong had been able to accurately grasp Liu Jinsheng's thoughts and thus always took the initiative. Haha, even your boss is no match for me. You, a little guy, want to make a show of yourself. You really don’t know how much you weigh!

But ever since Liu Jinsheng fell into a daze, he couldn't figure out his thoughts at all. Zheng Zhilong always felt that he was good at grasping people's hearts, but this time, he couldn't understand it at all!

Liu Jinsheng walked a few steps and found that Zheng Zhilong had not followed. He could not help but frown and said dissatisfiedly: "You are whining like a girl, can you move faster?"

Zheng Zhilong came to his senses and had no choice but to follow outside, while thinking about it again in his mind. What is Liu Jinsheng's intention in doing this? How can a false imperial edict be conveyed so confidently and without fear?

Until he arrived at the Fujian Governor's Yamen, Zheng Zhilong didn't figure out Liu Jinsheng's true intentions. He had no choice but to see how Master Zhongcheng would respond, and when the time came to take him down, take him down!

When Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, heard that the two of them were visiting on urgent matters, he was slightly surprised. In fact, he is the Ming official who knows Zheng Zhilong and Li Kuiqi best. Now that he sees them visiting together and saying that there is something urgent, it seems that they are abandoning their previous grudges. Have both parties become so open-minded?

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't care much about it, so he ordered the two of them to be summoned.

Liu Jinsheng walked quickly ahead. After receiving the courtesy, he recounted the situation again, and finally added: "The decree is urgent. The emperor said that the north is in urgent need of food and there must be no delay. I will go to Guangdong to find Envoy Xu. Lord Zhongcheng, do you have anything to explain?"

There was no respect for Xiong Wencan in his tone. This point did not go beyond Zheng Zhilong's judgment. Because Xiong Wencan was bribed by him, the partnership almost killed his leader Li Kuiqi. As a pirate, it would be strange for him to be humble and forbearing. In that case, it would not be easy for him to defeat Li Kuiqi.

Xiong Wencan naturally felt it too, feeling faintly unhappy. But compared to Liu Jinsheng, he has much more power. Seeing that the content of his edict was of great importance, but the situation was like child's play, he frowned and then ordered: "Go down and prepare. Come back to see me in an hour."

"The matter is urgent and no one can delay. Farewell!" Liu Jinsheng responded with a threatening tone, relying on his will. He ignored the etiquette and casually clasped his fists in salute, then strode out and went by himself.

Xiong Wencan was furious when he saw this. Xiaoqi was so arrogant in front of him. Did he really think that he didn't dare to do anything to him?

"Lord Zhongcheng, stop being angry!" Zheng Zhilong on the side tried to persuade him, and then asked curiously, "Do you believe what he said?"

Xiong Wencan was just angry and did not order his arrest, which surprised Zheng Zhilong and asked him.

Xiong Wencan came back to his senses, turned to look at Zheng Zhilong, relaxed his mood and said: "If it is true or false, go to the messenger angel and ask. If it is false, let him see what I am doing!"

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he remembered that the angel who had delivered the message had not left yet. He was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and flattered him: "I will admire you for your wisdom, sir!"

The messenger angel was a civil servant of the General Administration Department and rested at the governor's office. When I heard that the governor was visiting, I didn't dare to neglect him and hurriedly went out to meet him.

After the governor explained his purpose, the civil servant nodded and said: "There are heaven-level spies in the Jinyi Guards. They can convey information instantly even though they are thousands of miles away. This edict is of great importance, and it is probably impossible to arrange it." . And it also involves Xu Shangshu, so it’s probably true!”

Xiong Wencan and Zheng Zhilong were both shocked when they heard this. Being able to convey information instantly even thousands of miles away, what kind of magical power is this?

While they were surprised, the civil servant added: "For this kind of instant edict, a formal edict will arrive from the capital afterwards, but it will take a few days to arrive from the capital. Generally, a heaven-level secret agent office To convey the imperial edict is to obey the authority when the matter is urgent, and to do so only for urgent matters."

Xiong Wencan and Zheng Zhilong glanced at each other, and it seemed that something was going on. According to the urgency of this matter, if we receive a formal imperial edict and then respond, we will have to wait for many days, which is indeed a waste of time. In other words, is what Liu Jinsheng said true?

Although they both found it unbelievable, the angel who delivered the message had already made it very clear that this matter was almost certainly true!

Xiong Wencan immediately thanked the angel who delivered the message, hurried back to the governor's hall, and immediately ordered Zheng Zhilong to make preparations. Going to Annan is of great importance, and it will scare the barbarians, so it should not be taken lightly.

But Zheng Zhilong was reluctant. As soon as this great situation was won, except for the Hongyi fleet on the Taiwan side, all the sea was his. Originally, he could free up his hands to integrate the people under his command, thereby controlling the entire southeastern sea area of ​​​​the Ming Dynasty.

But this happened suddenly, interrupting his plan. Originally, he was afraid of something happening and was a little hesitant about going north to the capital, thinking of pretending to be sick or something to avoid it. But now the imperial edict is a big deal. Unless you resist the edict, you must go. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Zhongcheng to pass the test.

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Zhilong finally decided to accept the imperial edict and put aside the matter of repairing Zhong Bin, who had rebelled from Li Kuiqi, and suppressing Hongyi. By the way, the navy leader who went to Annan this time must also take Zhong Bin with him to prevent him from doing any tricks while he was away.

As shrewd as he was, he had already seen that Zhong Bin's betrayal of Li Kuiqi was not due to the high price he offered, but because Zhong Bin had long had the idea of ​​becoming a king on his own. Such a person will rebel again sooner or later, so he must be dealt with.

Finally, under the coordination of Xiong Wencan, Liu Jinsheng rushed overland to Guangdong to find Xu Shangshu to convey the order. Zheng Zhilong immediately reorganized the navy, and then led the fleet to Guangzhou to wait for Xu Shangshu to meet up and head to Annan together.

The fleet must be large, and it must be a sufficient deterrent to the barbarians in Annan. In addition, it must transport food northward. According to the decree and speculation, it is to bring as much food northward from Annan as possible.

While they were busy with these things, the messenger angel who was stranded in Fujian wanted to pay a visit on the pretext of hearing about He Qiaoyuan's name.

He Qiaoyuan opened an academy in Fujian and became famous far and wide. Xiong Wencan thought it was reasonable, so he didn't care. He even stated that he was too busy, otherwise he would personally accompany the angel there.

At this time, He Qiaoyuan had been worried about the memorial he had submitted to impose a sea ban. He wondered whether the emperor would change his mind and agree to the sea ban. When I heard about the visit of the messenger angel, I immediately connected the two things.

There is one more chapter that I will write when I get back from get off work in the evening. I will update it around 21:00.
