Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

Yin Qi carefully recalled what the fourth brother said, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.What does it mean that big brother has occupied the Strait of Malacca?Although this sounded like a rhetorical question, it was actually confirmed—the elder brother was far away in Fujian, why did the fourth brother seem to be able to directly see the situation of the elder brother?

Yin Qi's quick-witted little brain turned quickly.

If there is no system, Yinqi may feel that everything is just the imagination of the fourth brother or he has heard it wrong, but he who has a system has a big brain and immediately thinks of a possibility.

Does the fourth brother also have a system?

As soon as this idea arises, it immediately sprang up like weeds—not to mention other things, it is very doubtful that the fourth brother can dream of the Queen's Mother, and dream of Ukuma Mama.

and many more! ?

Yinqi's pupils trembled.

If the fourth brother has a system...

Could it be that the fourth brother's system is a system that can see ghosts? ? ?

Ah this...

Yin Qi shuddered, and silently wrapped his clothes tighter.

Yinzhen sneezed several times along the way.

Xu Shi was still in the cold of spring, feeling the fluctuating temperature, he rubbed his arms, quickened his pace and rushed all the way to Wuyizhai where Prince Yinreng lived.

Wuyizhai is located in the middle of the east and west gardens, the gate is heavily guarded, and the guards are vigilant.

On the side of the open space, Yinzhen's familiar head guard was reprimanding several young guards.Maybe it took a long time to reprimand him. When they saw the fourth elder brother trotting from a distance, the guards all set their eyes on him.

This movement also made the chief guard look back subconsciously.

Seeing that it was the fourth elder brother arriving, the chief guard squeezed out a smile on his rigid and serious face: "My servant greets the fourth elder brother."

"What did these little guards do wrong?"

"Reporting to the fourth elder brother, their talkative slaves are just being educated." The chief guard replied respectfully.

The chief guard didn't want to mention the matter of the young guards, and Yinzhen quickly put these matters behind him.He took advantage of the situation and asked, "Is the second brother of the prince here?"

"Master is in the study." The head guard replied without hesitation.This straightforward attitude caused the little guards to stare in shock—boss, that's not what you said just now!

That's not to mention.

The stern-faced head guard in front of them is now smiling like a flower, and he guides the fourth elder brother inside respectfully and carefully all the way.

After escorting the fourth elder brother to the outside of the study, the chief guard stopped and watched him enter the study before quietly retreating.As soon as he walked to the door, he was surrounded by the little guards who had previously restrained him, and there were endless protests.

The chief guard is a docile kitten to the fourth elder brother, but he is a furious lion and tiger to his subordinates.He stretched out his big palm-like hand and waved it up and down, and after blasting the little guards away, he said angrily: "You just have to remember, the elder brother next to you must report. As for the fourth elder brother, unless someone is inside, you can directly Please go in, do you understand? And keep your mouths shut. If you continue to speak nonsense gossip outside, don’t say that you will be punished for additional training, you can just get out of here!”

The little guard had the guts to make a noise.

Hearing that the chief guard was really angry, they felt guilty again.All of them bowed their heads and did not dare to say a word.

Get out from the prince?

I'm afraid that even if he can stay in the bodyguard, he will never have a chance to be promoted in the future.

On the other side, Prince Yinreng was reviewing the memorial.

After being in charge of the country before, Kangxi felt that the prince had been cultivated, and it was time to monopolize the overall situation.Although the prince cannot be allowed to supervise the country for a long time, even now Yinreng has to deal with several times more government and court affairs than before.

Seeing Yinzhen coming in, he closed the memorial in his hand and put it aside, took advantage of the situation and put the wolf hair on the pen holder, and finally waved away all the palace people.

Yinrong pressed the center of his eyebrows wearily.

He cheered up and looked at Yinzhen: "Why is the fourth brother here?"

The second elder brother of the prince could hardly conceal the blackness under his eyes.

Yinzhen looked distressed, he stepped forward without hesitation, stretched out his hand to massage and massage Prince Yinreng's shoulder and neck.

Yinzhen's technique is not very skilled, but the strength is very appropriate and comfortable. Pressing again and again gradually made Yinreng's eyebrows loosen, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and at the same time made a comfortable and comfortable nasal sound.

Moaning and chirping like a kitten.

Yinzhen said calmly: "It's not a big deal, but the big brother's fleet sailed out of Fuzhou Port and ran to the Straits of Malacca—"

"Brother ran to... the Straits of Malacca!?" Yinfeng's eyes widened instantly.Where did he still look sleepy just now, he turned his head in disbelief and wanted to ask Yinzhen.

It's just that he was pushing too hard.

Yinzhen only heard a click, and then saw the expression of the second brother of the prince froze.

"...Second Brother Prince?"

"...Gu, hiss, it's okay! Say it, say it." Yinreng's face was distorted like a ghost, and he stared at Yinzhen with a ferocious expression: "Why did the elder brother run to the Straits of Malacca?"

Yinqi didn't know where the Strait of Malacca was.

Yinfeng knows it!He had looked at the globe several times, not to mention mentioning this place frequently in the accounts of merchants in Guangdong and even Fujian.

Passing in and out of the Straits of Malacca also pays high taxes and fees, accounting for almost half of the profits!This is also the reason why the prices of foreign companies are getting higher and higher.

The problem is that the Strait of Malacca is very far away from the Qing Dynasty, which is more than three times the distance from Tianjin Port to Fuzhou Port.Even knowing that the Strait of Malacca is a strategic fortress and the throat of maritime trade between foreign countries and the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi can only regretfully put his thoughts on occupying the Strait of Malacca in his stomach.

The most important thing is that it is the territory of foreigners.

As long as Prince Yinreng thought about it, his heart speeded up, almost jumping out of his mouth.

In case of any accident.

Prince Yinreng didn't care about his sprained neck, he stared at Yinzhen seriously, insisting on getting a definite answer from him.

Yinzhen rubbed his nose, and he gave a wry smile: "Second brother, if I know how the elder brother went there... why is the younger brother looking for you? The younger brother wants to ask if the court has received any news from Fuzhou. ? Did you mention where the eldest brother went?"

Going to the Strait of Malacca is not just three or five days, it can be reached in half a month, at least it has been a few months.The most important thing is... Yinzhen continued with a wry smile, "According to the information I got from my younger brother, elder brother has taken the Strait of Malacca as his own."

Yinfeng: ………

For a while, I didn't know whether to say that the elder brother was mighty or that the elder brother was crazy.

Yinfeng couldn't sit still.

He stood up and turned around in the study several times, emotions such as anxiety, worry, and excitement intertwined.Yinfeng took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled: "There is no news from the elder brother in the court! Besides, what is Shi Lang, the admiral of the Fuzhou navy, doing to eat? Is he looking for death? How dare he dare to deal with such a big matter? Conceal and not report!!!?"

The more Yinfeng thought about it, the more incredible it became.

He stood up and walked around in the study, full of doubts.

Of course Shi Lang didn't want to die.

It was because he didn't want to die that he tried to hide it, and sent ships to sea to search for traces of Zhibaile.

Just no news yet.

Shi Lang stood in the middle of the study in the Admiral's Mansion of the Navy, surrounded by not only Shi Lang's sons, but also many generals of the Navy.They also looked worried, the entire study was silent, and the atmosphere became more and more stagnant.

After a long time, it was Shi Lang who spoke first.

He asked the lieutenant with a dark face: "Is there no news about the Baylor fleet so far?"

The lieutenant general was sweating profusely, and he nodded again and again: "My lord, there has been no news yet... Now, this, this, this, what should I do?"

Admiral Shi Lang of the Fuzhou Navy fell to his seat.

He pressed his hands to his face, his face was full of anxiety and despair.

Baylor's departure has been gone for more than three months.

He bit the bullet and did not report it. Seeing that Dafujin Ergen Jueluo had come to ask him many times, he did not say anything. Since the fleet had not returned for a long time, there was a lot of rumors in Fuzhou city.

Shi Lang was at his wit's end here.

He slumped down on the chair and said in a hoarse voice: "I will play it to the emperor..."

"Ama! The boy is willing to take the boat out to sea to search!"

Shi Shiji took a step forward and said in a respectful voice: "If you search further, in the direction of Luzon, Ryukyu and even Annan, you will definitely find the trace of Zhibei Le."

Shi Lang shook his head.

He said in a deep voice: "There are Qing merchant ships in these places, Zhibei Le's distress letter must have been sent back early, but now..."

Not a single returning merchant ship had seen Straight Baylor in three months, no!It should be said that the number of merchant ships returning within three months dropped sharply. Shi Lang was secretly worried that they might not know about any accidents at sea.

Natural disaster or man-made disaster?

Shi Lang has no intention to think too much now, he can only report this matter to the emperor.

As for the rest...you can only resign yourself to fate.

Shi Lang's back bent down sharply, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.His back was lonely, and he walked to the desk step by step with his hands behind his back, and raised his hands tremblingly to start writing the memorial.

"Sinner—"

"Master! Master! Master!" The voices from far to near gradually became louder.A servant with a flushed face pushed open the gate regardless of the obstruction. When he ran across the threshold, he stumbled, staggered forward, and fell heavily to the ground.

He fell into a coma.

The steward who caught up was sweating, he dragged and dragged the servants out.

"My lord, the little thing about my lord is the letter—"

The servant shouted: "It's the news from the merchant ship—Zhi Baylor, Zhi Baylor sent it back!"

A blush appeared on Shi Lang's pale and bloodless face.

He walked towards the servant in three steps at a time, Shi Lang snatched the letter.

He first glanced at the sealing wax.

There's nothing wrong with the wax seal on it, it's exactly what Straight Baylor has.

Shi Lang was both surprised and delighted. He tore off the wax with his hands trembling slightly, and read the above content at a glance. Then everyone noticed that Shi Lang's expression changed from seriousness to surprise, and from surprise to excitement, and finally From excitement to ecstasy!

Everyone immediately confirmed that Baylor was fine!

After confirming this matter, the original dignified atmosphere in the study dissipated in an instant, and everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they asked questions in a hurry.

"Ama, what did Zhibaile say?"

"Master Admiral, is Zhibaile safe now?"

"My lord, do you want to wait for someone to greet you?"

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Shi Lang eagerly.

Shi Lang carefully closed the letter and nodded heavily: "It's safe, but it's not safe either."

This remark once again caused quite a commotion.

Safe and not safe What's going on?It's just that Shi Lang wasn't in the mood to explain it to them this time, he hurriedly wrote a memorial to order the guards to hurry and send it to the capital!
