Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Si Yulou also felt that something was wrong, but he still said: "Of course we must gather other pirates and prepare to fight against Da Rong's navy!"

"Fight! Haha, you want to welcome the Great Wing Navy to take over Xingyue Island!" Yue Hongyi sneered.

"Master, what do you mean?" Si Yulou stood up in a hurry.

Yue Hongyi took out two letters from his sleeves, "I received two letters in the past two days, one was delivered to my residence, and the other was discovered by accident!"

"Look at this letter!"

With that said, he threw a letter to Si Yulou, who opened the letter in surprise and read it.

When he finished reading it, he was completely stunned.

"Impossible, this is a lie. The sect master and his subordinates definitely did not communicate with Da Rong secretly!"

A letter can't prove anything, but the letter written by Yang Zhengshan is very insidious. There is a lot in the letter. It not only thanks Si Yulou for providing the information, but also adds more details to Si Yulou's surrender. It is as if the two parties communicated too much. This time, not only did they discuss the terms of recruitment, but they also asked Si Yulou to reveal a lot of information about the Xingyue Sect.

The origin of this letter is also very clever. Luo Jinsong specially found a corpse and had it killed by the guards of Yue Hongyi's mansion. The corpse not only had this letter, but also the token of the Secret Martial Guard.

And there is also the coincidence of the destruction of the Crescent Army and the Shangxian Army.

This coincidence is connected with this letter, that is, Si Yulou secretly sent a letter to Da Rong, and then asked Da Rong to destroy the Crescent Army and the Shangxian Army.

Everyone in the hall looked at Si Yulou and Yue Hongyi inexplicably. Deng Yuehe hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Master, I also have a letter here!"

"Yeah!" Yue Hongyi looked at her in surprise.

Deng Yuehe said: "I originally planned to give it to the sect master later, but now that the sect master has also received the letter, I should give the letter to the sect master first!"

Then he handed a letter to Yue Hongyi. Yue Hongyi opened it and glanced at it, then sneered and said: "It's really interesting!"

Deng Yuehe's letter was no different from his, and the content was almost exactly the same.

"What about you?"

His eyes fell on the others.

The others looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Some of them also received the letter, and some did not. This was normal. After all, Luo Jinsong's way of delivering the letter was too casual, and it was normal even if it was lost.

"I have one here too!"

"I have it here too!"

Qu Fusheng and Nan Haiyan said one after another.

As soon as Yue Hong looked at these two letters, his expression became colder and colder, and he asked again: "What about you?"

The remaining four people are Sun Chunhe, Yan Wushang, Han Changshun and Cheng Wuji.

Sun Chunhe and Yan Wushang did not receive the letter, but Han Changshun and Cheng Wuji did, but they did not bring it over because they did have some thoughts in their hearts.

The four of them shook their heads. Yue Hong did not delve into it once he arrived, but his eyes fell on Si Yulou again.

Because Si Yulou's letter is different from other letters.

"Master, there really are no subordinates!" Si Yulou felt that he was wronged, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Nanhaiyan said in a deep voice: "Master, this may be Da Rong's plan to divorce!"

"That's right, that's right, it's a divorce plan!" Si Yulou responded quickly.

Nan Haiyan glanced at him, "But this matter is suspicious, I suggest it is better to lock Yulou in the dungeon first!"

"Nanhaiyan, you, you~~" Si Yulou was furious and looked at Nanhaiyan angrily.

Yue Hong stared at Si Yulou and nodded slightly, "Don't blame us for doubting you. The facts are before you. You should feel aggrieved first and stay in the dungeon during this period!"

He didn't say anything for sure, after all, he also suspected that this was Da Rong's plan to divorce.

Si Yulou took a deep breath and said feebly: "I obey my orders!"

He was a little frustrated, a little aggrieved and dissatisfied. There was no help here, which made him feel both indignant and resentful.

A meeting broke up unhappily, and Deng Yuehe walked out of the main hall with a heavy heart.

She was the first one to hand over the letter just now, not because of how loyal she was to the Xingyue Sect, but because she knew that she was an outsider in the Xingyue Sect. Once any problem arose, she would be the one most likely to be suspected. .

If she were in Si Yulou's situation today, she would not only be locked up in a dungeon, but would also be shackled and then locked up.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

The maid who was following her saw something wrong in her expression and asked softly.

Deng Yuehe shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, go back first!"

After that, she returned to her mansion. As soon as she returned home, her son Lu Xinghe came to greet her.

"mother!"

Lu Xinghe is in his thirties this year. He is the son of the owner of Lanting Island. Thirty years ago, when Lanting Island was destroyed, he was brought to Xingyue Island by Deng Yuehe. He has been living on Xingyue Island these years.

Although Deng Yuehe is the master of the Xingyue Sect's auditorium, Lu Xinghe does not have any position in the Xingyue Sect and is just an idler who is looked down upon by others.

Lu Xinghe has always complained about this. No matter in terms of cultivation or ability, he is no worse than the children of other families. However, the children of other families all have official positions in Xingyue Sect, but he can only do How could he be content with being an idle man?

What's more, he still remembers his father's hatred in his heart and wants to avenge his father.

However, he also understood Deng Yuehe's situation at Xingyue Gate, so he did not resent his mother.

"Hmm!" Deng Yuehe glanced at him and felt that his expression was a little wrong today, so she asked, "What happened?"

Lv Xinghe looked around and whispered, "Mom, come with me!"

As he said that, he took Deng Yuehe to the ancestral hall in the backyard.

Deng Yuehe frowned slightly, and had a bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't say much, just followed Lu Xinghe into the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was filled with the rankings of the ancestors of the Lu family, and there were three incense sticks that had not yet burned out in the incense burner.

"What's wrong?" Deng Yuehe asked at this time.

But just as she finished speaking, a figure walked out from behind the curtain in the ancestral hall.

"Mrs. Deng, long time no see!" Luo Jinsong bowed slightly and said softly.

"It's you! Why are you here?"

Deng Yuehe saw Luo Jinsong's face clearly, her expression turned cold, and she said.

She naturally knew Luo Jinsong. After all, Luo Jinsong was the head of Yuheng Xingtang before. Although the head of Qixingtang did not have a high status in Xingyuemen, he was in charge of a Xingtang after all, and he was also a well-known figure.

"I am here to persuade them to surrender!" Luo Jinsong said.

"You are so brave!" Deng Yuehe said coldly.

Luo Jinsong smiled and said, "It's not that I am brave, but I know that Madam Deng will definitely be willing to surrender to Darong!"

Deng Yuehe said, "You think too much. I will not surrender to Darong!"

"No, you will, because you must find a way out for Brother Lu! Not only Brother Lu, but also your good grandchildren!"

Luo Jinsong acted very relaxed, but his heart was not as relaxed as he appeared.

Although he was sure to persuade Deng Yuehe, this matter was not absolute.

Deng Yuehe lowered her eyes slightly. She was not alone. She had a son, grandson and granddaughter. For more than 30 years, her Xingyue Sect had always lived cautiously. Wasn't it all about giving her children and grandchildren a stable home?

But now Xingyue Sect and Darong were enemies. It was unknown whether Xingyue Sect could survive this disaster, let alone her and her children and grandchildren.

Deng Yuehe stared at Luo Jinsong closely, and Luo Jinsong looked at her calmly.

Lu Xinghe stood by and couldn't help but say, "Mom, Xingyue Sect is definitely not Darong's opponent!"

"Shut up!" Deng Yuehe scolded.

Luo Jinsong said: "Mrs. Deng, this is a rare opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you may have to flee again! You should know that fleeing is not pleasant!"

Deng Yuehe said: "That's not necessarily true. Who said that Darong will definitely win?"

Luo Jinsong chuckled and said: "Haha, don't say more about this self-deception. How can Xingyuemen defeat Darong? Just rely on those tens of thousands of pirates, or Yue Hongyi and others?"

"My master is the Marquis of Darong Jing'an. I don't need to say more about other things. You should understand that as long as my master is willing to help you, you will definitely get a place to stay in Darong!"

Deng Yuehe fell into silence.

Declare for Darong?

Or follow the Xingyuemen all the way to the end!

"Mom, you know how the Xingyuemen treats us. Instead of staying in the Xingyuemen and suffering these birds, it is better to surrender to Darong!" Lu Xinghe couldn't help but persuade again.

He had been on Xingyue Island long enough. The Xingyuemen didn't treat them as their own people, so why should they follow the Xingyuemen to die together!

Deng Yuehe looked at her son, then at Luo Jinsong, "What can you give us?"

"What does Madam Deng want?" Luo Jinsong said.

"That letter!" Deng Yuehe said softly.

Luo Jinsong grinned, "That letter is fake, and any conditions on it are not counted!"

Yang Zhengshan was just making up those letters, and even promised the title of Marquis and Earl, but he was not the Emperor of Yanping, and he could not decide on the matter of conferring titles.

Deng Yuehe frowned, "Then what can you give us?"

"High official salary, I dare not guarantee anything else, but it is still easy to find an official position for Brother Lu!" Luo Jinsong said.

"How can I trust you?" Deng Yuehe said.

She didn't really care about the conditions. She needed a place to stay so that her children and grandchildren could live a stable life.

As for wealth and glory, it was not very important in her heart.

Luo Jinsong said, "I can take Brother Lu to see my Lord!"

Deng Yuehe thought for a moment and looked at Lu Xinghe.

Lv Xinghe nodded slightly, "Mom, let me go!"

Deng Yuehe took a deep breath, "Okay!"

Seeing that she agreed, Luo Jinsong was relieved.

...

Time soon came to October 18th, and the Jiujiang Navy finally arrived at Zhaowuwei.

When Yang Zhengshan stood at the temporary port of Zhaowuwei and looked at the Jiujiang Navy coming in a mighty force, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The previous five-guard navy, plus the Jiujiang Navy that had just arrived, a total of ten guards, including more than a thousand large and small warships, and more than 50,000 soldiers.

If you only count the troops, this is not a lot, but putting a thousand warships together is still very shocking.

The temporary port has not been completed yet, and the Jiujiang Navy cannot dock yet, so it can only float in the near sea temporarily, but the main officials of the Jiujiang Navy first took a medium-sized Haicang ship to dock.

A dozen military officers in official robes filed down from the Haicang ship, led by a man in his forties, eight feet tall, with a mighty figure and a square face that was stern.

"Jiujiang Central Guard Commander Bai Yuanxi greets the Marquis!"

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

Everyone bowed in unison.

"Everyone is polite, haha, Uncle Bai, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Yang Zhengshan looked at Bai Yuanxi and smiled.

Bai Yuanxi was not only the commander of the Jiujiang Central Guards, but he was also the Changning Bo of Da Rong.

The Jiujiang Five Guards are five independent health centers and five interrelated health centers.

They are different from other guards in that they are directly under the control of the Central Military Governor's Palace. Just like the current Tenglong Four Guards, they are not under the jurisdiction of the provincial governor's office, but directly under the control of the Central Military Governor's Palace.

Five guard stations are located in the rivers south of Darong, responsible for patrolling the waters and detecting theft.

The strongest among the five Jiujiang guards is the Jiujiang Zhongwei, which can be seen from the Jiujiang Zhongwei's warship.

"It's a long journey and I've been delayed for a while. Please forgive me, Lord Marquis!" Bai Yuanxi said.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said: "You are here just in time, let's go, let's go to the Yamen to talk first!"

Immediately, he led everyone back to Zhaowuwei's temporary government office.

The arrival of the Jiujiang Five Guards also means that the Sihai Navy has completed the gathering of troops. After the training is completed, they can go to sea to fight.

Yang Zhengshan first learned about the situation of the Jiujiang Five Guards, and then made arrangements for the training of the Jiujiang Five Guards.

The situation of Jiujiang Five Guards is not very good. Among them, the situation of Jiujiang Zhongwei is better. There is no shortage of soldiers. Although the warships lack Dafu Ship, other small and medium-sized warships are fully manned.

The situation of the other four guards is similar to that of Quanhaiwei, Haizhouwei and Leizhouwei.

Logically speaking, the ten guards should have more than 56,000 soldiers, but in fact, the Sihai Navy plus the Zhaowu Guards only had more than 43,000 soldiers.

Fortunately, Yang Zhengshan was mentally prepared. This time he didn't feel angry because he knew it was useless to be angry.

After arranging the training of the Jiujiang Five Guards, Yang Zhengshan waited for another two days, and An Yuxing brought the five innate warriors from the Enshrining Academy to Zhaowu Guard.

This is the first time that the Consecration Academy recruits innate warriors. Yang Zhengshan doesn't know what reward Emperor Yanping has offered, but he can be sure that the reward this time is not low, because the five innate warriors in the Consecration Academy are all well-known innate warriors.

An Yuxing is the team leader, and Taoist Xuanzhen is the one with the highest cultivation level. The other four are Mingshan old man Lu Jin, Yanggu mother-in-law Zhou Qing, Changping Marquis Liang Chu's grandfather Liang Shengze, and Haining Marquis Li Chao.

Except for Haining Hou Li Chao, the other three are An Yuxing's peers, and their cultivation and strength are not much different from An Yuxing's.

Six innate warriors arrived, plus Yang Zhengshan, there were seven innate warriors in total.

In this battle, I don’t know if Xingyue Sect will feel honored.
