When the Louvre meets the Forbidden City

The government of the Qing Dynasty was very strict in supervision. If you want to go to Taiwan, you can’t cross the sea from the nearest Fujian. Instead, you have to go north, or continue to go south, and find another seaport to find a sea boat to go around the island of Taiwan.

On this day, when everyone arrived at Longwan, Tiandihui's subordinates who had been stationed here long ago greeted them, led them to the boat that had been prepared, and immediately set sail for the sea.

On the second day of the voyage, the sound of gunfire was heard on the sea. Only the navy of the Qing Dynasty and the subordinates of the Zheng family in Taiwan could fight in this area of ​​the sea. Chen Jinnan was worried, not only did not hide, but ordered a boat to meet him to see if he could Can help others.

Wei Xiaobao felt that it was inappropriate to go up like this, so he went to the bow and found Chen Jinnan who was watching the battle between the two ships in the distance, "Master, the other party has guns, and our ordinary sea ship can't help if it hits it. One shot will sink the ship." danger."

Chen Jinnan frowned, "I know, but I heard that the second son will go out of the island by boat in the near future. I'm worried that he ran into a Qing soldier, so no matter how dangerous he is, he must rescue him." Oops!" With a cry, he said anxiously, "The flag of Yanping County Prince's Mansion is flying on the chased boat, it is really the second son of Zheng!"

Turn around and send a loud order, ordering the boat to speed up to meet him.

"Second son of Zheng, Zheng Keshuang, is on that boat?!" Wei Xiaobao murmured inwardly, it's really unlucky to encounter such trouble when going out to sea!Knowing Chen Jinnan's loyalty to the Yanping Palace, this situation cannot be persuaded, so he had to turn around and go to the rear, ordering people to hoist the escape boat, and be ready to release the water at any time, so as to save people.

As soon as the boat was hoisted, someone shouted loudly at the front of the boat, "Oops! Oops! The second son's boat has been hit by a gun and will sink soon... Hurry up and let the boat go to rescue him."

As soon as Wei Xiaobao heard this, he simply ordered people to put the boat into the water, and then asked two brothers from the Tiandihui with strong arms to quickly row over to rescue people along with the two boatmen.

Xu Tianchuan flew over from the front boat to deliver the chief helmsman's order to let the boat go, but seeing that Wei Xiaobao commanded the boat in a timely and appropriate manner, the boat had already launched into the sea, so he couldn't help giving a thumbs up, "Wei Xiangzhu is really quick to see an opportunity, and he acts swiftly and decisively! "

The two boatmen on the small boat, two brothers from the Tiandihui, were very strong young men. They rowed the small boat as fast as they could fly, and rushed to the Yanping Prince's Mansion, which was emitting black smoke. The small boat that accompanied the boat, the two boats worked together to pick up more than [-] people from that boat.

Standing by the side of the boat, Chen Jinnan first pulled a young man in his 20s onto the boat, and said to him, "Second Young Master, the rescue is late, are you okay?"

The second son, Zheng Keshuang, was fine, but he was terribly frightened, his face was pale, and his voice was trembling, "I, I'm fine, Military Master Chen, you have done a great job in this rescue, and I will report to my father for a reward when I go back."

Chen Jinnan let out a 'hey', "It's the subordinate's job to rescue the second young master."

Zheng Keshuang was followed by more than a dozen guards of Prince Zheng's residence, Feng Xifan, the master of the second son of Zheng, and a young girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, snow-skinned and beautiful face.

Wei Xiaobao stared at him with good eyes. Seeing that everyone on the boat had already boarded, he immediately left. When he passed by the beautiful girl, he glanced at it and knew that this girl was called A Ke, and she seemed to have some relationship with him. .

Before he could think about it, he walked quickly and said loudly, "Turn the rudder, turn the rudder! Hoist the sails immediately! Hoist the sails full!"

A Ke was extremely surprised to see Wei Xiaobao on the boat, but he turned around and left just looking at him, this was unprecedented, his eyes widened, not knowing why.

Zheng Keshuang felt that he was safe for the time being, so he calmed down a bit, and came to pull Ake, "Ake, let's go into the cabin and hide, it's still not safe outside."

As I spoke, I heard a loud "bang", a shell fell into the sea beside the ship, the water column rushed up, and the ship shook violently. It was the Qing soldiers turning around and chasing this side, and they were still firing cannons while chasing. .

The boat had already hoisted its full sails, and was sailing forward through the wind and waves. It was sailing very fast, but the speed of the chasing boat was not slow, and it was impossible to get rid of it for a while.The ship on one's own side has no firearms and cannot fight back. It is a matter of time before the ship is sunk by the bombardment of the left and right shots.

Wei Xiaobao was anxious, rushed to Zheng Keshuang, grabbed him and asked, "Who is chasing you?"

Zheng Keshuang was startled, and blurted out, "It's Shi Lang, Admiral of the Fujian Navy!"

A shining long sword suddenly crossed between the two. It was Zheng Keshuang's master Feng Xifan, who said coldly, "Don't be rude to the second son!"

Chen Jinnan parried Feng Xifan's long sword away, "Brother Feng, the most important thing now is for everyone to work together to defend against the enemy. Don't let your own people clash over some small misunderstandings. Xiaobao must be in a hurry and didn't mean to be rude to the second son." .”

Feng Xifan knew this, snorted and retracted his long sword, and said to Wei Xiaobao, "If you have something to say, don't touch the Second Young Master!"

Chen Jinnan didn't want to make trouble, and said to Wei Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, why don't you apologize to Second Young Master."

Wei Xiaobao frowned and said nothing, thinking in his heart, this second son of Yanping County King is very cowardly and incompetent, and Feng Xifan, the most powerful under his command, also doesn't know what to do. He dared to use swords and swords on the boat as soon as we rescued him, typical measure Narrow-minded and ungrateful, these two people can't achieve great things together.

An idea popped up: If we secretly help the second son Zheng to take over the throne of Yanping County King, it will definitely be of great benefit to attacking Taiwan in the future.I'm just a little sorry for Master Chen Jinnan.

Just thinking about it, two more shells fell into the sea beside the ship, stirring up a water column several feet high, and the big ship was shaken violently. Chen Jinnan ignored them, rushed to the bow to check the situation, and shouted, "Hold on!" ! Hold on!"

Wei Xiaobao also stopped talking to Zheng Keshuang and Feng Xifan, and caught up with Chen Jinnan, "Master, our ship will be sunk sooner or later, we should find a way to board a nearby small island."

Chen Jinnan pondered, "It's not difficult to go to the island. There are two small deserted islands nearby, but after going to the island, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome. As long as the Qing army drags away our boat and sends people to seal off the surrounding area of ​​the island, we will be killed." Trapped, there is no water or food on the island, we can't hold on for a few days."

Wei Xiaobao said, "I don't want to escape to the island, but I want to find a place to talk face-to-face with the Qing soldiers. The admiral of the Fujian Navy who leads them knows me and has served as my general before. When I got the news that I was dismissed and wanted by His Majesty, I tried to trick him into letting us go."

Chen Jinnan hesitated, "Then what if he already got the news that you are wanted?"

"Then there's nothing we can do. It's better for us to lure him to the island to fight to the death than to be beaten in the sea and have no way to fight back."

"Row!"

Chen Jinnan weighed the pros and cons, made a decisive decision, and ordered the boat to sail to a small island in the east.

Wei Xiaobao looked at the small island from afar, feeling very familiar, wondering if I've been here before?

"The last time Master Wei Xiang led his troops to attack Shenlong Island, he stayed on this small island. You even named it Tongchi Island." Shuang'er has been following Wei Xiaobao ever since he met the Qing army's warship. Protecting behind him, seeing him staring hard at the island at this time, he spoke to remind him.

"Oh, yes, Tongchi Island, I remembered!" Wei Xiaobao suddenly realized, and turned his head to smile at Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, thank you for reminding me."

In a blink of an eye, A Ke, who was standing beside Zheng Keshuang, was looking at him with big bright eyes. When Wei Xiaobao met her eyes, A Ke immediately turned away.

Wei Xiaobao turned around and wondered secretly, remembering that the little girl had always dismissed him, why did she keep staring at him after this meeting?

Just as they were about to reach Tongchi Island, another cannonball fired from behind. This time, the aim was very accurate. The mast of the ship was broken by one cannonball, and the canvas caught fire.

Chen Jinnan secretly thought it was a good luck, fortunately he listened to Wei Xiaobao's suggestion and sailed to the shore, otherwise if he was still far away from the shore, his group would have to be buried in the sea together.

The commander lowered the boat again, and after everyone abandoned the boat and boarded the boat, they rowed to the shore together.

After going ashore to observe the terrain, Chen Jinnan pointed to the cliff in front of him, "There is a cliff over there that can be guarded, everyone go there."

The crowd ran up the cliff along the hillside, and found a place covered by rocks to hide. The Qing soldiers behind them also boarded the beach in a few small boats. The first one was holding a long knife and was a burly figure. It was Shi Lang.

Shi Lang led seven or eighty men to cover them, and when he got to the bottom of the cliff, he issued an order, commanding the Qing soldiers to form a team and stand still at a distance. Aimed at the cliff.

Wei Xiaobao nodded to Chen Jinnan, and then asked Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao behind him and several court military officers brought out by him to shout in unison, "General Shi! Master Wei is here, please wait where you are, don't let people shoot arrows, wait a moment!" Lord Wei, go down and talk to you."

Shi Lang obviously paused, raised his head and looked up for a long time, and then shouted loudly, "Okay, Lord Wei, please come down and talk!" With a wave of his hand, all the Qing soldiers put down the bows and arrows in their hands again.

Wei Xiaobao stood up from his hiding place, "Brother Zhao, you guys go down with me, you were all military officers of the imperial court, so it is easy to win Shi Lang's trust." Then he said to Chen Jinnan, "Master, wait here for a while."

Zheng Keshuang suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, Master Chen, we can't trust him so much, what if he goes down to betray me to the Qing soldiers?"

Chen Jinnan said, "Please rest assured, Second Young Master, this Shi Lang used to be Xiao Bao's subordinate. Now Xiao Bao just wants to go down and trick Shi Lang into letting us go. This subordinate can guarantee with his life that Xiao Bao will not betray you."

Zheng Keshuang said, "If he betrayed me and let me be captured by Qing soldiers, what's the use of your life as a guarantee?"

Chen Jinnan endured his anger and said, "The situation is urgent now, and there is no other way to do it. I also ask the second son to trust my subordinates."

Zheng Keshuang snorted and didn't answer, obviously not believing it.

Wei Xiaobao took back the foot he had stepped on, and pulled Zhao Liangdong beside him, smiling, "Since this is the case, let's stop doing things that are beyond our power, and ask Mr. Zheng to think of another strategy to defeat the enemy. Let's follow Right behind Young Master Zheng."

Zheng Keshuang's face darkened, and he said angrily, "You...you just go down, but let Master Feng go with you." Speaking of this, he consciously thought of a coup, "Yes, let Master Feng go down with you, and listen to you and that surname. What did Shi say?"

He said to Feng Xifan, "Master Feng, I'm sorry for your trouble."

Feng Xifan stepped forward and put one hand on Wei Xiaobao's back acupoint, "Let's go."

Chen Jinnan said angrily, "Brother Feng, what are you doing? Let go of my apprentice!"

"In this way, we can ensure that this kid won't do evil in secret. Master Chen, it's not that I must not trust you, it's just that you, a disciple, are too cunning. This kid has secretly plotted against the second son too many times before, so he can't be reassured."

Zhao Liangdong, Wang Jinbao and the others took a step forward with their weapons in their hands, and glared at Feng Xifan, knowing that his martial arts skills were extremely high, so they didn't dare to act rashly for a while, they all thought in their hearts, what the second son of Zheng and Feng is so shameless, just now Use this hand if you are saved by us.

Wei Xiaobao stared sideways at Feng Xifan, he was really angry now, no one can threaten him like this, his dignity cannot be violated by these villains!

For some reason, Feng Xifan was stunned by Wei Xiaobao's stare, he wondered what was going on, being stared at by this cunning teenage boy, it was as if he had received a serious threat.

Just about to stare back, Wei Xiaobao yelled, "Shuang'er, musket!"

In response, Shuang'er took out the musket donated by Wu Liuqi from his side and pointed it at Feng Xifan, and said in a trembling voice, "Master Feng, the Chief Steward and Master Wei Xiang saved you, it's too... Too..." She couldn't speak harsh words, but she was extremely angry in her heart, and she turned her hand and fired at the rock beside her. After the loud noise, the stone chips flew, and everyone was shocked.

Shuang'er pointed a musket at Feng Xifan again, "If you dare to hurt Wei Xiangzhu, I will shoot you."

Wei Xiaobao said, "We can see if Mr. Feng is harder than a rock then."

Feng Xifan was startled, his flesh and blood couldn't possibly be harder than a rock, he let go of Wei Xiaobao in a flash of thought, and clapped his hands, "Mr. For the safety of the body of a thousand gold, we have to act cautiously."

Chen Jinnan held back his anger, stopped Shuang'er, and said to Wei Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, now is not the time to get angry and care about, the overall situation is more important, you go down, be careful."

If Wei Xiaobao hadn't had the idea of ​​hoping that Zheng Keshuang could take over the throne of Yanping County King, he would never have meddled in this kind of nosy business again, and a very ugly and very vivid word came to his mind: Take advantage of him!

Of course, this is not a word that can make people feel happy. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go." He brought Zhao Liangdong, Wang Jinbao and Sun Sike down the cliff without looking back.

When he got down to the half-mountain cliff, Wang Jinbao couldn't help but said, "Master Wei, why do you bother with such nosy business, and Zheng Keshuang and Feng Xifan are so rude to you, why is it worth saving? Let's hide behind and let Shi The admiral killed Zheng Ni's second son."

Wei Xiaobao has a profound meaning, "You are still young and not experienced enough, don't underestimate these seemingly unworthy small things, you must know that these small things can often become an important foundation for future success."

Wang Jinbao, Zhao Liangdong, Sun Sike and the others looked at me and I looked at you. Sure enough, no one figured out what use it would be for Mr. Wei to save these two despicable guys.

In addition, why has Mr. Wei watched the young man grow up a lot recently?He didn't even look at whether his fifteen or sixteen-year-old bad boy face matched such old-fashioned words, how good he was still joking like before!

Quotations from Napoleon: Don't take small things lightly, and then you can make big things

The author has something to say: Let me tell you in advance, this article may not be able to follow some ideas of the original work very much, at least Wei Xiaobao's seven wives will all be separated for him.

It is said that "The Deer and Ding Tale" is one of my favorite works of the Golden Hero, but I am very pessimistic about the relationship between men and women in it.It’s not that Jin Daxia’s writing is not good, but a matter of perspective. From the perspective of a male stallion, Wei Xiaobao is really happy here. He has seven beauties, a coquettish princess, loyal dogs, the most beautiful A Ke, and a gentle Zeng girl. , the naive little princess, the mature Mrs. Hong, and the scheming Fang Yi, almost covering all types of beauties.

But the love in it is really not beautiful!

This article is based on the background of martial arts, not an old saying. These women are not ladies of the family. They are deeply bound by feudal etiquette and cannot remarry, so they are going to be dismissed! !
