As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

"Stupid words, the so-called if people don't know, unless you do nothing, if something happens, you and I will die, so this is the current plan..."

The speaker made a very vicious gesture.

"...is it necessary?"

"Wang Jin's lessons learned from the past, and he has already attacked the guard, so..."

"Well. If you don't want to be chaotic, you will be subject to it. It's just that the one on land is easy to deal with, but what about the one on the water?"

"In my opinion, it is easy to solve, but what is difficult to solve is the subsequent matter. How to get rid of me is the real thing."

"Clear? You mean..."

"That's what it means."

"Well...then things can be divided into three steps. First block the person on land, and then put the person on the sea in a difficult situation, and lay down a killer move by the way. If he passes this level, then why not Lead him to the shore, when the time comes..."

"How's the situation at the guard?"

"The news is blocked, but it can't be blocked for too long."

"Then why don't you quote it first?"

"I understand, you are also ready."

"How about Xuanwuwei?"

"Don't worry, they are all my people, and nothing will happen."

"Very good, let's leave today."

……

The eighth day of October.

Huamanlou received an urgent report from Xuanwuwei that a small group of Japanese pirates had landed in Ningbo Mansion and fled after making trouble in the Dinghai area.So on the tenth day of October, Huamanlou led the Tianjin Navy and set sail again.

"We were going to get married today, but now we are in the southeast..." When the sun was setting, Hua Manlou was standing on the poop of the flagship, holding Qi Wanrong's hand and sighing: "So you said this Do you blame the Japanese pirates, or do you blame Nie Wenbing?"

Qi Wanrong blushed, but then she smiled and said, "Good things take time, so what does it matter if it's earlier or later?"

Hua Manlou glanced at her with a strange expression: "No, the theme is who to blame, whether it's grinding or not..."

This girl's recent temper...

How should I put it, it seems that her name is getting closer and closer, which makes Huamanlou not used to it.

"Then it's all to blame." She said so, but Qi Wanrong didn't show any sullen expression.

In fact, compared to those two in the capital, Qi Wanrong felt that it was the most correct decision in her life that she stalked and followed Huamanlou out.After all, this trip not only occupied Huamanlou alone, fought a battle, but also played with him in Suzhou for two days. How can this kind of experience be enjoyed by the kind of housewives who don’t leave the door? of?

Being able to firmly overwhelm that one made Miss Qi present a sense of superiority, and she had already begun to plan how to describe these memories in front of Wen Liang to stimulate her when she returned to Beijing...

As far as Hua Manlou is concerned, although Qi Wanrong and Qi Wanrong still can't achieve the feeling of "glue like paint" spreading dog food everywhere, at least they had a two-day date with her in Suzhou before departure, which can be regarded as the completion of love. A milestone achievement for the [-]s—even though there's no such thing as dating these days.

Girls these days are really easy to coax... Or Qi Wanrong herself is more easy to coax, you don’t need to go shopping with her or buy her cosmetics and super expensive bags, just feed her some Suzhou snacks by yourself Enough for her to be happy for a long time, this...

So in the previous life, the man had to accurately remember ten or so festivals a year, and every time he had to change tricks to make his girlfriend happy. Is this the difficulty of hell, or is he living in hell?

In this comparison, Hua Manlou himself felt that he had treated his little daughter-in-law badly, so he hesitated, "Why don't we go to Hangzhou for a few days after we finish fighting the pirates?"

There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. I have already spent two days in Suzhou, so if I spend another two days in Hangzhou...

Qi Wanrong was so happy that she couldn't speak, she said after a long while: "You...don't you have any bad intentions?"

Seeing her shy expression, Hua Manlou was taken aback for a moment: "No, I'll take you to play, what could be wrong?"

Qi Wanrong became even more shy: "You...you said that you should get married today, and you...you still have to pretend..."

Hua Manlou was stunned, and suddenly realized: "Ah... I don't think it's good to be on a boat... No, I don't mean that! Anyway... In short, after we really get married..."

To be honest, although the progress with Qi Wanrong has been pretty good in recent days, Huamanlou really didn't want to come with her hastily for the first time, at least give her a romantic atmosphere like Miss Baimao Bar?

And anyway, now that her deadly enemy is not in front of her, if you give her more sweetness now, won't she be fooled in the future?

After hearing Hua Manlou's words, Qi Wanrong was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her face, and finally uttered a few words: "It's all...it's up to you..."

Looking at her state of letting the king choose her, and then listening to her slightly provocative voice...

Hua Manlou covered her nose and turned her face to look into the distance: "My niece, can you also hold back your supernatural power a little bit? Do you know that you are so dangerous?"

"……what?"

"It's nothing, I'll calm down."

387. Nothing to do

The voyage of this trip was not far, but the Tianjin navy took quite a long time.

Without him, it's just because there are quite a lot of islands near Ningbo Mansion. Go up to Chengzhoushan Islands and go down to Qiyushan Islands. In order to prevent a Japanese pirate from suddenly killing a Japanese pirate on a certain island, Huamanlou can be said to be careful. They kept searching, but there was no sign of the Japanese pirates until the fleet was about to arrive in Dinghai.

but……

For some reason, the calmer the sea was, the more Hua Manlou felt that something was wrong.

"It stands to reason that the Japanese pirates should have heard about our extermination of Qian Dapeng. No matter how careless they are, they should take a look at the situation and talk at this time, but suddenly a small group of Japanese pirates appeared in Dinghai...don't you Do you think it's a bit weird?" In the command cabin, Hua Manlou had a serious expression on his face.

After the three of Geng Tiancheng looked at each other, He Qing said uncertainly: "Maybe it's really a small group of Japanese pirates? Or maybe they came ashore specially to inquire about our news..."

Hua Manlou squinted and looked at the nearby charts, and said in a deep thought: "I always feel that something is not right. If I ask for information, I won't make such a big noise. It seems that... there is something that leads us to hurry up How does it feel to come? Unless this small group of Japanese pirates are really rogues, they randomly robbed a place and fled away."

Geng Tiancheng scratched his head: "Why don't you wait until you reach the ground and go down to ask the details?"

After thinking for a while, Hua Manlou sighed, "That's the only way. Instruct the people below to be vigilant. The first and second squadrons take turns to rest. The scout ships should not stop, and continue to search the nearby sea."

"Yes."

"The third squadron will send some people to inquire about the situation on the nearby shore, and the others will stand by on the spot and must not slack off."

"Yes."

After the assignment was over, the three of them went separately, but Hua Manlou went up to the pier alone.

Looking at the land that is getting closer and closer, Huamanlou always feels inexplicable worry and depression. Although there is no problem in Ningbo Mansion now, and there is no news from Xuanwuwei, but this uneasiness It felt like he didn't know where he came from.

"I hope... I think too much." Turning her head to look at Qi Wanrong, who was chatting with Su Jiuer on the other side and secretly glancing at herself from time to time, Hua Manlou sighed, "Maybe it's because of too much pressure. gone?"

For modern people who have seen too many green tea whores, an unconscious and natural girl like Qi Wanrong is simply a killer weapon, because she doesn't know that she is seductive at all, or she just unconsciously treats herself Huamanlou's goodwill is all shown on his face, this kind of charm...

How can it be compared with the thing of 'I only feel sorry for giegie'?

So Hua Manlou looked away: "Let's just say I was wrong, this girl's natural attributes are far greater than any other attributes, it's a crime..."

Amidst Hua Manlou's broken thoughts, the fleet slowly sailed into Dinghai.

……

"Uncle, this formation..." Geng Tiancheng followed Hua Manlou along the gangway to the shore, and clicked his tongue: "The prefect of Ningbo has come to greet you?"

Logically speaking, under the general environment of the country's dynasty using literature to control military affairs, the fourth-rank prefect can almost be regarded as the emperor of the land, and there is no reason to greet a general in person at all.Moreover, Huamanlou has a special status, and as a civil servant, he has to avoid suspicion...or to show his character of not flattering the powerful, so most of them would not come out to greet him in person—for example, Liu Qiran, if Huamanlou hadn't sent someone there, I'm afraid he won't show up in Jiading.

However, this magistrate not only came from Ningbo City, but also brought a large number of civil and military officials from Ningbo Prefecture and nearby gentry and elders to welcome Huamanlou. It can be described as...

A little shameless?

What's even more shameless is that the moment he saw Huamanlou, he picked up his robe and rushed over. Before he even got there, he yelled in that very exaggerated variety accent: "Uncle Xishan has worked hard, all generals!" Thank you for your hard work, Ningbo has suffered from Japanese pirates for a long time, everyone is here, Ningbo will be saved!"

Hua Manlou raised his eyebrows, and said softly, "Brother Geng, it's not kind."

Geng Tianding said with a dull face: "Uncle, you are the one who came."

"...All in all, there is nothing to be courteous about, rape or steal, be careful."

"I understand."

After the quick exchanges between the two, Hua Manlou stepped forward to support the prefect of Ningbo for a polite meal, and then greeted the civil and military officials of Ningbo under the recommendation of the prefect named Yin Bowen, and then was surrounded by them and headed towards Dinghai , Said that he would hold a grand reception banquet for him.

The so-called civil servants ride sedan chairs, and military officials ride horses. Hua Manlou declined Yin Bowen's request for him to sit in a sedan chair, and made an unclear gesture to Song Jie who was following him, and got into Qi Wanrong's carriage directly.

"You...why did you come here?" Miss Qi looked shy when she saw Hua Manlou.

Looking at her state, Hua Manlou couldn't laugh or cry, "You...you should calm down first, I have something to tell you."

Qi Wanrong was taken aback for a moment: "Say... say what?"

Hua Manlou said seriously: "You must not run around for a while, it is best not to stay too far away from me."

Qi Wanrong stared blankly at Huamanlou, and it took a while to get out of the love state: "Did you find something?"

Hua Manlou shook his head, and said worriedly: "I hope I'm thinking too much. You see, apart from the news that Japanese pirates harassed Ningbo Mansion a few days ago, there is generally nothing else going on, right?"

Qi Wanrong nodded: "So what?"

Huamanlou lifted the curtain of the car and pointed to the outside: "So don't you find it strange? Jiading has been harassed by Japanese pirates so many times, it can be said that it has suffered heavy losses, but even so, the county magistrate of Jiading did not show such behavior after returning to the voyage, but Why are the people in Ningbo Mansion so enthusiastic?"

Qi Wanrong frowned after thinking for a while: "You mean, there are some troubles in Ningbo Mansion?"

Hua Manlou nodded and said, "Just now Commander Caichang Guowei was also present, but logically speaking, he will never be too polite to me. After all, he doesn't have so much money after the reform of the guard, but this one is also very excited. It looks like it's wishing for me to change the system... This is too abnormal."

"But..." Qi Wanrong hesitated: "Didn't you say that there is not much news about Ningbo Mansion, or maybe you won't stay for too long..."

Hua Manlou took a deep breath and said, "This means that the Xuanwuwei Ningbo Qianhu Institute, which was supposed to provide us with information, is likely to be in collusion with the magistrate's yamen, and most of the information we have received is false."

Qi Wanrong suddenly became anxious: "Isn't it a little bad for us to go with them to the welcome banquet? What if it's a Hongmen banquet?"

"Keep your voice down!" Hua Manlou patted her hand: "The Hongmen Banquet is unlikely, as long as he has no determination to rebel, then he won't do anything at the reception banquet, but I'm afraid he will use other tricks .Speaking of which, I received news two days ago that Lao Nie is about to arrive in Ningbo. I don’t know where he is at this time? If there is such a thing to attract firepower, we must be much more relaxed..."

Speaking of this, Hua Manlou warned again: "In short, don't run around for a while, do you understand?"

"Oh."

388. Why don't you go and have a look?

Dinghai City is located on Zhoushan Island. It has beautiful scenery, a long history and many historical sites. In addition, it is also an important military fortress.

The reception banquet was held in a restaurant on the West Street in Dinghai City, accompanied by the overly polite Suzhou prefect. Most of the guests in the last seat were celebrities and wealthy gentry, and all the members were performing.

"Xishanbo is here, Ningbo Mansion will be saved!"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Xishan is young and promising, and he is the first one who has accumulated meritorious service in recent years. He can be called a young hero, unparalleled in the world!"

"Tianjin navy is worthy of being the master of tigers and wolves! Look at the mighty generals. The so-called effective from top to bottom, the navy is unrivaled in martial arts, much stronger than the Weisuo army!"

"How can I say that the Japanese pirates are frightened? After today, there will be no more Japanese pirates in Ningbo!"

"We can count on a good night's sleep!"

The overwhelming flattery came oncoming, and the nasty Geng Tiancheng, an old Jianghu, had goosebumps on his heels, but Hua Manlou's expression was as usual... It's better to say that he acted very well, while being polite, he pretended to be happy and cheerful He made a public statement: "I come to Ningbo for three things, Hiiragi, Hirawa, or the fucking Hirawa!"

"Japanese pirates are nothing more than chickens and dog ears. If they dare to commit crimes, I will throw them into the sea and feed them to the fish!"

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Although the words were murderous and exaggerated, a group of people cheered every time he said a few words, and the scene was almost...

Well, it seems that the Japanese pirates have been beaten.

Maybe it was because Yin Bowen didn't find the ladies in the brothel to cheer for him because he saw that there were female relatives, but the arrangement of playing, dancing, singing and opera was very well arranged, there were many and enough, and he gave Huamanlou with a look of helplessness. Explanation: "Small place, no famous actors, not popular..."

Hua Manlou said politely, but the doubts in his heart only increased: This guy has problems no matter how he looks at it, so it stands to reason that at this time, he is either trying to bribe people into the water or trying to make some threats, why? Haven't seen any movement for a long time?You don't necessarily have to act like a Ningbo bitter woman for a long time and then just lie down and let yourself be ridiculed, right?

After drinking for three rounds, I miss the old fox Liu Qiran a little bit. If he was here, I would be able to see some clues, and if he was unhappy, he could mock this old guy to vent his anger. No matter what, he laughed better than the slave next to him. Yin Bowen is good.

The same magistrate, why is there such a big difference?

Yin Bowen raised his glass frequently to persuade him to drink, and other officials and gentry also came to offer a toast to Huamanlou, Geng Tiancheng and others from time to time. Even though Huamanlou only touched his lips most of the time, it was a bit hot.

At this time, Yin Bowen told me to relieve himself, and Geng Tiancheng suddenly leaned over and said to Huamanlou: "Uncle, look at this posture...he doesn't think he wants to drink me to death here, does he?"

Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, but then he had a flash of inspiration: "Maybe...it's possible."

Geng Tiancheng was taken aback: "Isn't it? This wine..."

Hua Manlou squeezed his chin, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "Well, there is no problem with wine, and there is no problem with banquets, but think about it, are there still few generals who got drunk and made mistakes in history? The Japanese pirates have come to attack the navy."

Geng Tiancheng's eyes widened: "Uncle, what you mean is that Yin Bowen had an affair with Japanese pirates?"

Hua Manlou shook his head: "I'm not sure for now, but if there are Japanese pirates, then I can be sure. And it seems that he wants to keep us here. If there are no generals in the army, the result must not be very good, right?"

Geng Tiancheng raised his brows angrily, and when he was about to speak, Hua Manlou held him down: "Don't worry, Big Brother He and the others won't make any mistakes, we just watch the monkey show."
