Zhou Yi didn't come to Taizhou Mansion without any preparation, but something happened unexpectedly.

He had already got in touch with the "bandit leader" Zhang Changshan he met on the way back to Beijing last time. This time he went to Taizhou to rehabilitate Liu Changdao and rescue him from prison.

But this time he had selfish intentions, and wanted to exempt Xia Jing from some crimes.

The accident happened during the Japanese pirates attacking Taizhou. Zhang Changshan had actually received some rumors beforehand, but he had only a few dozen deserters at the time, which was not enough to resist the Japanese pirates. Only Wang Bin had enough manpower. Resist Japanese pirates.

But after trying every means to convey this news to Wang Bin, he didn't take it seriously at all, and continued to eat, drink, and lie drunk in the flowers. In fact, since he became the commander of the Southeast Navy, he has no immediate boss, and the people who can control him are sky-high The emperor is far away, so you can play however you want.

It is conceivable that when the Japanese pirates attacked Taizhou and wreaked havoc in the city, the navy without a command was like a loose sand. Even if it had more people than the Japanese pirates, it was still vulnerable.

At that time, Wang Bin got up from the woman in a panic. Facing the extremely brave Japanese pirates, a little resistance was ineffective, and he retreated like a bereaved dog.

At this time, no matter how much you are in panic all day long, it has already been of no help. Moreover, if you are in command like this, how can the soldiers who can be mixed under his hands be any better? .

At that time, Zhou Yi and Ah Yao were separated in the rebellion. Ah Yao was rushed out of Taizhou City in the chaos. Later, he sneaked back to look for him for a long time, but there was no news of him. No one was alive or dead. At that time, I met Zhang Changshan and a group of people, and they took advantage of the chaos to rob Liu Changdao from the prison.

It was too chaotic at that time, and swords and swords didn't have eyes. Zhang Changshan recognized Zhou Yi who was alone at a glance. hiding place.

The original dozens of people were also "expanded" into more than 100 people in this chaos.

Judging from the fact that they have already found a hiding place, Zhou Yi has reason to believe that if Liu Changdao's redress fails, the group of them has already made up their minds to rob the prison.

However, there was an accident during the evasion process, and the Japanese pirates who followed immediately destroyed the only entrance and exit passage, so that everyone was trapped in such a "isolated" place. Fortunately, there are enough wild game and wild vegetables in the mountains and forests. , there is no major problem in life.

So even if Zhou Yi wanted to go out to deliver the news, there was no other way.

This place seems to be a lowland in the mountains, but its location is unique, surrounded by continuous mountains, which only surrounds a small plain in the middle.

The village houses here used to look very old and uninhabited. It was an abandoned village. The people in the village had moved out decades ago, because there happened to be a villager in Zhang Changshan's subordinates. The descendants of the village can only find it along the passage, and the village houses where they live today have only been refurbished after they came.

It turns out that the passage is also hidden in the mountain. It should be the passage connecting the village to the outside world. After it was bombed and collapsed by the Japanese pirates, it collapsed with the landslide along with the mountain. It's hard to guarantee that there will be no Japanese pirates guarding the opening. If so, wouldn't all of them go out without one.

They also thought that since the original passage was impassable, they would dig out from the top of the mountain, but after trying it out, they found that the surrounding mountains were densely forested, and there was still a poisonous miasma in the forest, which had been damaged to find the way. Several people, in desperation, used the stupid method of opening a new passage.

Digging through the mountains is not an easy task. It is necessary to observe the structure of the mountain and understand the softness, hardness, dryness and wetness of the soil. It is best to choose the place with the shortest straight line distance. All of them are good at identifying positions at sea. In this kind of mountains and forests, there is no way out.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi had edited the "Dasheng Geological Book Collection" two years ago, and he knew the topography of the Dasheng area very well, so he had a relatively in-depth study of the geology. He has an almost photographic memory, so in the end it was up to him to choose the location of the passage according to the direction of the mountain.

Coincidentally, just after the new passage was opened, Xia Jing, who happened to be resting in that valley, bumped into him.

Zhou Yi has never been with Liu Changdao before, and all he knows about him is from the information he has collected. After getting along with Liu Changdao this month, he can really feel that this man, as the commander of the navy, He is a good leader of the army. He is also very idealistic and not pedantic. He is not afraid to use some abnormal means to achieve his goals. For example, he has a close personal relationship with the Second Prince and exchanged enough food and military equipment for the sailors. It is a big deal. people.

Compared with him now, the commander-in-chief is hard to hold a candle to in terms of character or means.

It's just that he became a part of Xia Jing's plan because of his personal relationship with the second prince, and he ended up being dismissed from his job and sent to prison. Not only that, his family members also suffered crimes, and his old mother, who had been widowed for many years, died on the way to exile. , the eldest daughter was in the prime of life, and was sentenced to be an official prostitute. It must be very difficult and helpless.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that between Liu Changdao and Xia Jing, there is a deep hatred across a sea of ​​blood.

the next morning.

After listening to Zhou Yi's narration, the blood on Xia Jing's face faded, and he said in a daze: "So, in order to prevent Liu Changdao from guessing my real identity, you have to lie that I am your wife?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "After all, Zhang Changshan recognizes you. If outsiders come here in the future, you'd better cover your face with white gauze and comb your hair like a woman. In addition, your current figure is no different from that of a pregnant woman. No one will associate you with Xia Jing, your body shape can be disguised, but your voice can't," he said while pondering for a moment, "Well, you can pretend to be shy and don't speak in front of people."

Xia Jing was silent for a long time, his white teeth were grinding to and fro, almost biting his lower lip, and he lowered his eyes and said softly, "This time, I'm going my own way and hurting you." It is conceivable that even though Zhou Yi and Liu Changdao are on good terms now However, once Xia Jing's identity is found out, Zhou Yi will definitely find it difficult to behave in a place surrounded by sailors and soldiers.

After speaking for a while, Xia Jing raised his eyes and stared at Zhou Yi closely, with desperate determination in his eyes: "But if you ask me if I will regret what I did back then, I can only tell you, I don't regret it! For the first half of my life, I only lived for this one thing, for this, at any cost!"

Now Zhou Yi is silent. Even now, he still can't agree with Xia Jing's stubborn character, who can sacrifice everything and even implicate innocent people as long as he decides on one thing.

However, since the moment he decided to accept Xia Jing, he has already had this kind of awareness. To accept a person is to accept his past. Whether it is good or bad, the past has become an established fact and cannot be changed, but the future is in his hands. inner!

Seeing his solemn expression, Xia Jing thought that he was upset because of what he said just now, and felt bitter for a moment, turned around and remained silent, even if he knew that what he did before was wrong, so what, he You can't regret it, and you can't look back!It seems that those people regarded him as a scourge of the court and a moth that harmed the country, and they were right, he is such a person, even his bones are rotten!

Unexpectedly, he was gently embraced by a pair of familiar arms, and the voice of the man came from his ear: "I will help him to rehabilitate, help him to make meritorious deeds, return his due status and honor, and let his wife and children return By his side, the dead have no time to catch them, and the living, let's find a way to repay them!"

Xia Jing was emotionally ups and downs, and was speechless for a while, but he nodded lightly, and he was willing to work with this person to find a way to repay.

At this time, a rough and laughing voice came from outside and said loudly: "Brother Zhou, brother, I personally brought you breakfast. I heard that your wife came here? Is it convenient for me to come in, brother?"

The two hurriedly separated and looked at each other.

Zhou Yi raised his voice and said, "Brother Liu, wait a moment." After speaking, he took a piece of cloth and tied Xia Jing's drooping black hair at the nape of his neck, and Xia Jing quickly tore off the bamboo hat in his bag The curtain was closed, half of the face was covered, and a knot was tied behind the head, and then the two got up and straightened their clothes.

After quick preparations, Zhou Yi gave Xia Jing a reassuring look, and turned to open the door.

Liu Changdao entered the door with a hearty smile, and he was very familiar with his actions. He directly put the basket in his hand on the table, and there was no trace of those tragic events on his body.

From Xia Jing's point of view, Liu Changdao is very tall and strong, with a thick beard on his chin and short and curly hair. At first glance, he is a brave general who is good at fighting.

Xia Jing was looking at him, in fact he was also looking at Xia Jing, looking at this tall woman in front of him, with a big belly like a drum, covered in white gauze, with one hand on her waist and the other on her belly, she seemed to be very inconvenient to move, he received a report Most of the last suspicion has disappeared.
