"Kong Ming, please sit in the hall first." Huang Chengyan said to the housekeeper.
Huang Chengyan knew in his heart that what was supposed to come would not be avoided after all, in this case, it would be better to make it clear early, and make a decision early.
The old butler invited Zhuge Liang to the hall and poured tea for him.After all, Zhuge Liang almost became the son-in-law of Huang's mansion, so there is still a need for etiquette.
Not long after, Huang Chengyan came out from the inner courtyard.He said to Zhuge Liang enthusiastically, "Nephew Kong Ming, you are here."
Seeing Huang Chengyan coming, Zhuge Liang quickly got up and saluted, "Uncle Huang."
Huang's family and Zhuge's family are family friends, but now Huang Yueying is working for King Qin, while Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin is an official in Soochow.Therefore, Huang Chengyan was seldom cautious in his speech, and did not mention the matter of the shipyard, but only talked about his family's shortcomings.
After chatting for a while, Huang Chengyan never mentioned the marriage, so Zhuge Liang couldn't help but asked: "Uncle Huang, I don't know how my marriage with Yueying should be?"
Is Huang Yueying ugly?If this is seen by ordinary people, it is naturally ugly.But this ugliness is just different from the public, it is an aesthetic ugliness.However, for a knowledgeable person like Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying is not ugly.
Of course, Zhuge Liang wanted to marry Huang Yueying, firstly because Huang Yueying was not ugly, and secondly because Huang Yueying was also a capable woman.
Zhuge Liang took the initiative to bring up the marriage, and it seemed that he wanted to continue the marriage.Naturally, Huang Chengyan couldn't talk about him anymore, so he could only continue this topic.
"Nephew Kong Ming, do you know that Yueying is working under King Qin now?" Huang Chengyan asked.
"Nephew knows." Zhuge Liang replied.
Zhuge Liang naturally knew about it. Since he was able to find this place, he must have heard about Huang Yueying.
"The king of Qin attaches great importance to Yueying. If the king of Qin ascends the throne in the future, Yueying's current position will be a master craftsman." Huang Chengyan said to Zhuge Liang.
Master craftsman is a great official. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no official positions in the three provinces and six ministries that were widely spread later.Let's put it this way, if it is calculated according to the official positions of the three provinces and six ministries, this one will be a master craftsman, and this is the position of the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Zhuge Liang only knew that Huang Yueying was an official under King Qin, but he never thought that he was such a big official.You know, Huang Yueying is a woman, and it is such a big position for a woman to be an official. This king of Qin is really courageous.
"Yueying is really lucky." Zhuge Liang said.
At this time, Huang Chengyan was no longer covering up, but said straight to the point: "Nephew Kong Ming, your marriage with Yueying is not impossible, but I have a condition, old man, and you still have to fulfill it before this marriage can happen. "
Zhuge Liang is an extremely smart person, as soon as Huang Chengyan opened his mouth, he knew what Huang Chengyan wanted to ask.Therefore, before Huang Chengyan could finish speaking, Zhuge Liang spoke first, "King Qin, you are not the master of Zhuge Kongming."
It's just an excuse why Li Chen is not Zhuge Liang's enlightened master.Zhuge Liang is a person who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.Let's put it this way, if he, Zhuge Liang, wants to be a counselor, he must be the chief counselor, and he must be the kind who cannot have a substitute.
Now that the king of Qin has a lot of talents, the famous Liu Bowen is no longer under Kong Ming, so he can't be the chief counselor, how can Zhuge Liang be willing to vote for Li Chen.
Huang Chengyan understood Zhuge Liang's temperament, and also understood his daughter's temperament, so Huang Chengyan knew that this villain could only do it by himself.
"Nephew Kong Ming, since this is the case, this marriage can only be done at this point."
"For this matter, my Huang family is sorry for you." Huang Chengyan said.
Retiring the engagement is also a helpless move, not to mention that my daughter will definitely not give up the career that I have finally gained recognition because of Zhuge Liang.
Let's just say that now, Huang Yueying has mastered too many things from King Qin's camp, but those ship maps are priceless treasures.It is impossible for the current Huang Yueying to break away from King Qin's camp.
2 Chapter Ninety
In 197 AD, Xia.
Weishan port, the whole port of Weishan Lake can be said to be crowded with people, flags are flying.Today is the day of the navy parade.
The Qin Army Navy has a total of eight fleets, five of which are chasing boats as flagships, and are composed of dozens of small boats of various types.In addition, there are three three-rail gunboats as the flagship, which are also composed of dozens of small boats.
The Qin Army Navy has a total of 20 soldiers and horses, with Zheng Chenggong as the commander of the navy and Qi Jiguang as the deputy governor of the navy.It can be said that the navy of the Qin army is the most powerful navy in the world today.
On the reviewing platform of the entire Weishan port, there are naval generals, mainly Zheng Chenggong and Qi Jiguang.On the ships on the water surface, there are countless elite sailors.
It has to be said that Zheng Chenggong and Qi Jiguang still have a way of training soldiers. In less than a year, they will train this elite navy.Of course, a truly elite army is not trained, but fought.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With the sound of cannons being fired at the sky, Li Chen, wearing a black python robe and surrounded by a group of generals, walked towards the reviewing platform on the port side.
"King Qin please review." Zheng Chenggong shouted.
"King Qin please review."
"King Qin please review."
"King Qin please review."
As soon as Zheng Chenggong's words fell, all the sailors shouted together, which immediately pushed the atmosphere of the entire military parade to a climax.
"Commander, let's start. Let me see how powerful our navy is." Li Chen stepped onto the parade platform and said to Zheng Chenggong, the commander of the navy.
"No, King Qin, please take a look."
After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, he turned around and boarded a chasing boat, while Qi Jiguang boarded a three-rail gun boat.Since it is a martial arts exercise, it is naturally not necessary for all the ships to understand it, only two formations are used.One is a formation with a boat as the flagship, and the other is a formation with a three-rail gunboat as the flagship.
"Departures!"
With the sound of a shrill horn, Zheng Chenggong sang loudly on the deck.The Lingzi flag in his hand also fluttered up and down, and the whole ship left the port, and then began to change queues on Weishan Lake.
As soon as the boat moved, Qi Jiguang's formation commanding the three-rail gunboat followed.The two fleets cross-drilled and began to change and change formations.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With the sound of cannons, more than a dozen boats with straw figures floating on the surface of Weishan Lake were smashed to pieces in an instant.
After rehearsing the surface combat, Qi Jiguang performed the landing battle again.This is also the difference between the Qin army's navy and other naval forces. In this era, the water used ships to carry the army to land when it landed.And there is no such professional landing force as Qi Jiguang, so to speak, Qi Jiguang's force is China's first marine corps.
The military parade of the Qin Army Navy lasted until the evening. After the end, Li Chen left the port of Weishan Lake surrounded by a group of generals.
This is the military parade hall of the Navy, and everyone in Weishan County knows it.Unfortunately, this port and shipyard are forbidden to ordinary people.Therefore, these people are not qualified to visit. Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, they knew how strong this water army was just by listening to the rumbling "thunder" that sounded all day.
The common people don't know what artillery is, nor what the sound of artillery is.Therefore, once the navy drills and fires artillery, the common people in the city will say that the navy has invited the Dragon Lord, and the club is practicing thunder.
Li Chen left the port of Weishan, and went to the mansion in Weishan County under the guard of soldiers.The people loved Li Chen very much, so they still spontaneously stood on both sides of the borrowed path, wanting to take a look at Li Chen.
Although the people of this era are ignorant, they are very simple.Their wish is simple, they don't want a good house, a good carriage, and a bride price of 10,000+ for a wife.They just want to have a home that can shelter from wind and rain, and their wives and children can eat two full meals a day.
The wishes of the people in this era are so simple, as long as you can satisfy their wishes, then they will love and support you.
Now, Li Chen fulfills their wish, so the common people love and support King Qin.Let's put it this way, now if you rush to say something wrong about the King of Qin in front of the people of Weishan County, you will immediately throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves over.
Li Chen was surrounded by soldiers, and all he could hear were the praises of the people around him, let alone, these words were really comfortable to hear.
However, at this moment.At the end of the crowd, seven or eight tall, very strong men were quietly looking at Li Chen among the crowd.
"Is it King Qin?" Among the crowd, a tall man with sharp eyes asked Li Chen who was riding a horse.
"My lord, it's Li Chen, I've got his portrait in my mind." Another person said softly.
Here, Li Chen turned sideways, approached Liu Bowen and asked, "Military Master, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, my lord, everything has been arranged. If we move forward, our people will start." Liu Bowen said to Li Chen.
What Li Chen said was an arrangement, it was an arrangement for someone to attack and kill him.Why did you say that Li Chen wanted to arrange someone to attack and kill him?Could it be that he is crazy, of course not, Li Chen wants to learn from him and become famous.
In this era, if you want to fight a war, you have to find a reason, otherwise these scholars will give you the title of a tyrannical master.To put it bluntly, before becoming a whore, you have to build a chastity archway.
Today is the day of the military parade of the Navy. Qin Wang Li Chen was assassinated on the way back to his residence after participating in the military parade.And the person who assassinated King Qin was under the command of Sun Jian of Eastern Wu.
This is the script arranged by Liu Bowen, although it can be said that the script is full of loopholes.However, it can be predicted that King Qin, whom the common people love, was assassinated in full view, and the assassin yelled the words that King Qin was killed by Sun Bofu.
In this way, it is enough to arouse the anger of the people in Qin. As long as the people are angry, the war will be famous.
"Brother Chengdu, Brother Yuanqing. Although the arrows that will be shot later are all made of wax, let's try our best to fly them so as not to hurt King Qin." Zhao Yun said to Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing who were on the side.
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I know." Pei Yuanqing responded.
"Where's my old Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin asked in a low voice.
"Shut up, you're afraid that others won't hear you?" Yu Wencheng said, glaring at Cheng Yaojin.
Zhao Yun and the others spoke in a low voice, but when Cheng Yaojin spoke, he had a rough voice.Cheng Yaojin and Yuwen Chengdu are two boys who can't deal with each other. As long as they are together, there is nothing else but bickering.
Chapter 291 The Fake Show Was Really Assassinated
It is true that Liu Bowen arranged for a group of people to assassinate Li Chen, this group of people faked the assassination and really blamed him.However, what Liu Bowen didn't know was that another person wanted to assassinate Li Chen today.
The leader of this other group is Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian, King of Wu, and Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong.Sun Ce heard that the Qin Army Navy was established, and wanted to sneak in to find out some news.However, due to the tight defense of the shipyard and the port, they came to Weishan County for more than ten days without finding any useful information.
I just heard that Li Chen participated in the navy parade today, and Sun Ce's retainer was named Xu Gong, who gave Sun Ce the idea to assassinate Li Chen.
Xu Gong told Sun Ce that Li Chen, king of Qin, was young and had no heirs yet.Once we assassinate Li Chen, there will be no one to inherit his vast territory, and it will be torn apart by then.Now that the Central Plains is fighting, once there is civil strife in Qin, our opportunity in Jiangdong will come.At that time, Li Chen's navy will be considered powerful, isn't it made for us?
Although Sun Ce Wuyong is brave, he is indeed very reckless.When Xu Gong said this, Sun Ce's heart was immediately moved by what he said.Therefore, Sun Ce did not ask his father for instructions, but started his plan to assassinate Li Chen on his own initiative.
Not long after, Li Chen came to the position where Sun Ce and others were located under the escort of a group of black armored cavalry.Li Chen and Liu Bowen are at the innermost, and Liu Bowen is half a horse's head behind Li Chen.On the left of the two are guards Zhao Yun and Cheng Yaojin, and on the right are guards Pei Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu.
"Let's shoot the arrow after ten steps forward." Sun Ce whispered to the disciples around him.
"ten"
"Nine"
"Eight"
"Let go." Following Sun Ce's loud shout, more than a dozen people on the left and right sides of Li Chen exploded and clasped their hand crossbows, and countless arrows shot towards Li Chen.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Sun Ce shot arrows first on this side, and then the disciples hiding in the crowd on the other side shot arrows after seeing Sun Ce shooting arrows.Therefore, the arrows on Sun Ce's side arrived first, and then the arrows on the other side arrived.
Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing happened to be on the side facing Sun Ce, and the arrows on this side arrived first.Yu Wencheng picked up the arrow with gilded phoenix wings in his hand, and immediately realized something was wrong.
"Tink, tink, tink."
Yu Wencheng picked up an arrow, and the arrow collided with his boring blade, making the sound of gold and iron.Yu Wencheng suddenly felt bad. It stands to reason that the arranged arrow is made of wax, so it is impossible to make such a sound.
"Be careful, the arrow is real." Yu Wencheng didn't care about so much anymore, and immediately yelled to remind Zhao Yun and others.
Upon hearing the words, Zhao Yun, Pei Yuanqing and the others broke out in a cold sweat.This is someone who wants to do a fake show for real, and really wants to assassinate King Qin.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
This group of people is determined to kill Li Chen. This round of arrows has just passed, and the second round is coming again.This second round is more intensive than the first round.
Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing are okay here, both of them are people with high martial arts skills, and they can block with ease.But Zhao Yun and Cheng Yaojin couldn't do it here. Zhao Yun's martial arts were not much different from Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing, but Cheng Yaojin was much worse.
Let's put it this way, Pei Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu are two people defending Li Chen, while Zhao Yun and Cheng Yaojin are one and a half people.
"King Qin, be careful."
The arrows were shot fast and densely, Cheng Yaojin couldn't stop it, he dropped the ax in his hand, and flew towards Li Chen.
With a "plop", Li Chen was thrown off the horse by Cheng Yaojin, and fell heavily to the ground.Cheng Yaojin's body size is much bigger than Li Chen's, and his pounce completely crushed Li Chen under him.
"Whoops, whoops."
Cheng Yaojin let out a cry of pain, obviously Cheng Yaojin was hit by an arrow, as for how many arrows he hit, it's hard to say.
The fake assassination turned into a real assassination, if Cheng Yaojin hadn't rushed over to sacrifice his life for the Savior, I'm afraid that Li Chen would have been shot by several arrows by now.This sudden scene really blinded everyone.
The two rounds of arrow rain are complicated to say, but they actually happened in two or three breaths. At this time, the soldiers in charge of the guards also reacted.Immediately shouted: "Protect King Qin, catch the murderer."
Some of the soldiers in charge of guarding stood in front of Li Chen with flesh and blood to protect him, and the other part surrounded the murderers on both sides.
Here, Sun Ce saw that Li Chen was thrown off his horse by Cheng Yaojinfei. After he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he immediately dropped the bow and crossbow in his hand, turned around and ran towards the periphery.
"Bite the gold, bite the gold." Li Chen shouted while supporting Cheng Yaojin who had been hit by several arrows.
"Ah! Ah! King Qin, my old Cheng is fine." Cheng Yaojin said in a weak tone, sweating profusely in pain.
Cheng Yaojin was hit by three arrows in the back and one arrow in the buttocks. Fortunately, he was wearing armor. After these arrows pierced through the armor, they didn't go deep into the flesh.Moreover, Old Cheng was rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Although he was injured, luckily it couldn't kill him.
I have to say that Cheng Yaojin Fei became the savior, which moved Li Chen very much.If Cheng Yaojin hadn't thrown himself off the horse, then these arrows would not have hit Cheng Yao's back, but his own front.
Cheng Yaojin was wearing armor, but he wasn't wearing any.If these arrows hit him, I'm afraid he should have reached Naihe Bridge by now.
Now the streets are full of civilians, and the assassin threw away the weapon in his hand and mixed with the crowd. This time is not easy to interrogate.Fortunately, the Qin army acted quickly, and immediately sent people to close the city gate after the assassination.Although the person who assassinated has not been found yet, he has become a turtle in the urn.
