Chapter 543 [After suffering comes happiness! ]

The sound of broken dishes immediately attracted the restaurant waiter.

“Bang!”

He raised his hand and slapped Emperor Qingning in the face.

The waiter cursed and spitted all over Emperor Qingning's face: "How do you do things? You're so clumsy! As a punishment, you won't be allowed to eat today!"

"Eunuchs are just stupid."

This slap stunned Emperor Qingning. He was the emperor, worth millions of gold, but he was beaten by an unknown servant at the bottom of society!

The humiliation in his heart was far greater than the pain on his face. Emperor Qingning was furious and wanted to kill the restaurant waiter immediately.

Zheng Qin quickly grabbed Emperor Qingning and said to the waiter with a smile, "Excuse me, young man. My eldest brother was a scholar before and has never done such rough work. I apologize."

The guy finally calmed down and left cursing.

"Your Majesty, a little impatience can ruin a great plan. I'll excuse you for now. I hear this fellow is from Yicheng."

Zheng Qin advised gently, "Let's take advantage of the darkness and strong wind to kill the guards and escape. I have brothers in Yicheng too."

Zheng Qin also stored a dagger in the backpack space.

Emperor Qingning clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and he washed the dishes without saying a word.

However, unexpectedly, when the two were about to escape at night, they were caught by the guard. Zheng Qin discovered that the guard's martial arts skills were terrifyingly strong and he was no longer an ordinary rough thug. The two were beaten up and thrown back to the woodshed.

Zheng Qin was completely baffled and could only say, "I have quite a few followers in Yicheng. I'll seize the opportunity to show my face in this restaurant's hall. If by chance I run into one of my followers here for a drink and a meal, we'll be in big trouble."

Unexpectedly, before Zheng Qin could even get the chance to run errands in the restaurant lobby, the two of them were sold again.

Emperor Qingning could not work, and neither could Zheng Qin. All the housework in his modern home was done by his seventy-year-old mother. Although his mother was old and frail, she took good care of her youngest son.

The restaurant manager thought the two men were too inefficient at work, so he sold them to a brothel as errand boys.

Later, he was sold to a merchant's family as a servant.

The two were resold like goods and suffered a lot. They had to move bricks and even clean toilets.

Zheng Qin swore that when he returned to his old nest, he would put all his money into his backpack so that he would not have to suffer humiliation for a bite to eat.

Relying on his young and handsome appearance, Zheng Qin got in touch with the merchant's concubine and finally found an opportunity.

"Your Majesty! This is a God-given opportunity!"

Zheng Qin said excitedly, "I heard that this merchant sells cloth, and he has a batch of goods to be shipped to Zhuwan, which is the base of the Haining Navy."

"This batch of goods will be shipped out from the mansion the day after tomorrow morning. We can hide in the freight carriage at night and reach Zhuwan without any effort!"

Emperor Qingning showed a look of relief on his face and put down the toilet in his hand: "Finally, I can finally escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

This journey is so difficult, it is even more painful than exile.

He was now a eunuch, looked down upon everywhere, and had to do the dirtiest and lowest jobs. Of course, whenever Zheng Qin was free, he would give the job to Zheng Qin.

However, Zheng Qin had recently hooked up with a merchant's concubine, and for the sake of the overall situation, Emperor Qingning had to take care of it himself.

The second day and night.

The night was dark. Emperor Qingning and Zheng Qin huddled in a carriage carrying cloth. The wheels rolled over the bumpy road, making it almost impossible for them to sit still. Zheng Qin lowered his voice, his tone tinged with excitement, "Your Majesty, bear with it a little longer. We'll reach Zhuwan before dawn."

Emperor Qingning closed his eyes to rest, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a sneer: "After suffering comes happiness, there is always hope in despair. This is the test given to me by God. God has not given up on me yet."

He had already begun to imagine that after meeting with the navy, he would regain his strength and be able to call the wind and rain.

The carriage bumped along the way and finally arrived at the Haining Navy’s base in Zhuwan at dawn.

As soon as the car came to a stop, a noisy sound of footsteps was heard outside. Then, the curtain of the car was roughly opened. Several naval soldiers, holding spears, shouted sternly: "Who are you! How dare you trespass into the naval base!"

Zheng Qin quickly stuck his head out, a smile on his face: "My dear soldiers, it's a misunderstanding, we are..."

Before he could finish his words, a soldier had already pressed a spear against his chest and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! He's sneaking around in the car. He must be an enemy spy! Capture him!"

Emperor Qingning frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he did not speak.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Qin quickly pulled out a glittering golden waist badge from his bosom and held it high above his head: "My lords, please look! This is the waist badge bestowed upon the Yu family by the Empress Dowager. We are her servants!"

The soldiers were stunned and took the badge to examine it carefully.

The waist badge inlaid with gold and jade is engraved with the word "Yu" and auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. It is exactly the same as the waist badge of their governor!

They are not ordinary people and know the value of this badge.

The leader's face suddenly changed. He quickly put away his spear and said respectfully, "So you are a distinguished guest of the Yu family. Please forgive me for not recognizing you! We will inform the Governor immediately!"

Soon, the two were taken to the tent of the Navy Governor Yu Xianyi.

When Yu Xianyi heard from the soldiers that two thin, pale-faced men in tattered clothes were carrying Yu's badge, he initially wondered which of Yu's poor relatives had come seeking refuge. But when he saw Emperor Qingning, he was horrified and hurried forward to pay his respects. "Your Majesty! Why have you come in person? I failed to greet you from afar, and I deserve death!"

When Emperor Qingning saw Yu Xianyi's respectful look, he finally felt a little satisfied in his heart, and he returned to this high and mighty position.

Emperor Qingning waved his hand and asked Zheng Qin to get straight to the point and explain the situation in the capital and their plan to sail and conquer the New World.

Yu Xianyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was already extremely frightened by the change of power of the country, and he didn't know how the Xin family would deal with him as an old party member. He was ready to run away at any time, but he didn't know where to run to. Now he had a direction!

Emperor Qingning asked, "How is the Haining Navy doing now? What about the situation in the East China Sea? Is it really as calm as you said, with the enemy being frightened away by the Haining Navy?"

Yu Xianyi's face was filled with smiles, and his tone was full of pride. "Your Majesty, the East China Sea has been peaceful as never before. The Japanese pirates have completely disappeared. This is all thanks to your Majesty's great blessing, and the training we have done day and night. Only then have we been able to deter the scoundrels, and the enemy dares not even show up."

In fact, he didn't know why, but recently even the scattered pirate gangs had disappeared.

They originally cooperated with pirates in the East China Sea, allowing the pirates to enter the fishing village and bully the villagers. Then their Haining Navy came down like gods and defeated the pirates.

This is how the Haining Navy gained a good reputation.

But in the past month or so, their "partner" has lost contact and there is no trace of him.

It's really strange.
