Five days ago, Xiao Duan Xiaowu, who had been "secluded" with his ventriloquist master for three days, suddenly found A Che after he came out of seclusion. He said mysteriously that he had learned a new and powerful secret skill in the past three days and wanted A Che to listen to him to see if he had learned it well.
Xiao Duan looked very proud, as if he had planned something big.
When ventriloquist performers go on stage, there is usually a curtain blocking the view. Now that the curtain cannot be pulled up, Xiao Wu asks A Che to turn his back.
Knowing that the two were learning complicated ventriloquism skills at the girl's instruction and not just children playing around, Che turned around cooperatively.
When A Che pricked up his ears and was about to listen carefully, he heard a fart sound behind him.
The fart was very loud and had a long tail. A Che was speechless for a moment. When he was about to urge the two of them, he heard the same sound again.
Ah Che couldn't help it anymore, covered his nose and turned back: [...What are you doing? ]
But Xiao Wu asked: [Brother Che, how is it? Does it look like him?]
Ah Che stared at Xiao Duan, who was still defecating with her mouth half covered, with his eyes wide open. Then he realized that the sound was actually coming from his mouth?!
——【Brother Che, that was a normal fart sound just now, listen to something else! 】
Ah Che was stunned. Is there anything abnormal about fart sounds? [Brother Ah Che, listen, this is what I tried to hold back when the girl was present, but I couldn’t completely hold it back——]
A-Che: [……! ]
Can you please not mention the girl? He even felt that the girl's reputation was about to be ruined... in a literal sense! Soon, he heard a small fart sound as loud as a mosquito. It was indeed very patient.
[Brother Che, listen to this again. This is what it means to go to the toilet when you have a stomachache! ]
[And this one, I had a stomachache and was on my way to the toilet... That's what we call the most untrustworthy fart! ]
[This is severe diarrhea, with foamy stool at the end! ]
Listening to the fart sounds that were gradually mixed with physical attacks, Ache's feelings gradually accumulated and he began to feel his eyes were stung.
He even felt that the air around him had changed color, and could only say in fear: [Okay, don't let go! That's enough!]
[Brother Che, who do you think is a better learner, Xiao Wu or me? ]
A-Che: [They all stink! No, I mean... they're all good! ]
He originally thought that the two of them had some big moves in mind, but he didn't expect... he didn't expect that they would just use a big one on him!
In the next few days, Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu would come to A Che every day to comment on the fart noises, to the point that A Che could hardly look them in the eye, and even dared not talk to them.
Noticing Che's retreat, Xiao Wu felt a little aggrieved: [Does Che dislike us? But Master said that if we can practice making a good sound, it will be very useful for controlling our voice... We also don't want to disappoint the girl. ]
At this point, Ache could only try to overcome his mentality and learn to accept and cooperate.
So, at this moment, Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu’s superb ventriloquism performances soon appeared on the beach.
A Che didn't expect that the first person who couldn't bear it was not him, but the return date.
Guiqi probably didn't understand why these two humans kept farting in front of him, so he got angry and used his hooves to dig up sand and throw it at the two of them.
A Che took the opportunity to find an excuse and leave.
"Brother Che, wait for us!"
Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu ran to catch up.
A Che also started running while holding Guiqi's hand.
Adian, who came here with Menglie, saw Ache and others chasing on the beach as soon as he got off his horse.
Adian dropped the reins and ran over to join them with bright eyes.
After Meng Lie dismounted, he handed his reins and Adian's to his servant.
On the way from the military camp to here, there were more than ten sentry posts along the way for strict security. Thanks to Adian's company and Chang Suining's prior instructions, Meng Lie was able to get here smoothly.
Even so, when he walked towards Chang Suining, there were still soldiers coming forward to check. Meng Lie was used to it and was willing to cooperate - this was how it should be in the army, especially for people who were close to His Highness. It was best to pick them up upside down and shake them to avoid the possibility of endangering His Highness.
Meng Lie cooperated by opening his arms. Chang Suining did not stop him because she knew Meng Lie and Meng Lie also knew her. This was the military and she did not need to break the rules she had set just to highlight her importance to Meng Lie and make the responsible soldiers stop doing the right thing in performing their duties.
When exceptions to a strict military order are easily made, its credibility will be greatly undermined and it will not be conducive to the development of soldiers' awareness of obeying military orders.
After the inspection, the soldiers let them go.
Meng Lie stepped forward and saluted Chang Suining properly: "Girl."
Adian "taught" him many titles last night, and finally asked him to pick one he liked. He finally chose this title, which sounded like he and Chu Xing and the others were all servants of the Chang family.
Tang Xing on the side raised his eyebrows in a slightly puzzled manner.
It was dark last night and he was unable to see Meng Lie's face clearly. Now that he saw him...
He was a playboy who liked to wander around, so he had naturally been to prosperous places like the capital. When he went to a prosperous place, he would naturally go to the most prosperous restaurant in the area...
The boss was different from the shopkeeper and seldom showed up in public. But when he went there that day, he happened to meet the boss of Dengtai Tower.
But there were many guests at that time, so the other party had not really seen him——
At this moment, Chang Suining jumped down from the stone with a smile, raised his hand and introduced: "This is Tang Xing, also known as Xiukun, a strange man from Mount Wutai."
Meng Lie looked at Tang Xing and bowed.
Chang Suining introduced Tang Xing, "This is an old friend from Beijing. His family runs a small business. His surname is Meng."
Tang Xing smiled and raised his hand: "Nice to meet you."
As the conversation continued, Tang Xing quickly confirmed that this man was the owner of Dengtai Tower in Beijing. Although he looked older, he had seen countless people and should not be wrong.
Tang Xing did not find anything strange about the "small business" mentioned by the governor. It was normal for a wealthy businessman of this wealth to keep a low profile and conceal something when traveling in troubled times.
What really surprised Tang Xing was that such a person would take the risk to come to Jiangdu in person, and that he was extremely respectful to Governor Chang. In Tang Xing's opinion, this respect was not a merchant's flattery of an official, but more like a kind of obedience from the heart.
That's strange.
The word "strange" comes first. The more this happens, the more Tang Xing, who loves to pursue new and unusual things by nature, feels that there are too many strange things about this Governor Chang that are worth exploring.
This time he followed the other party on a patrol at sea and saw with his own eyes this seventeen-year-old girl directing and coordinating everything.
A beautiful girl and a treacherous sea full of dangers, but it is the former who calmly controls everything. The shock brought about by this contrast is indescribable.
The more you interact with people in this world, the more familiar you become. But she is just the opposite. The more you understand her, the more you feel that you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
This was something Tang Xing had never seen in anyone else.
He originally wanted to leave when he got bored of staying in the army, but now he was held back by such an invisible attraction.
Chang Suining and Meng Lie were talking on the beach. When they got tired of standing, they sat down, facing the wide sea and looking in the direction of the Japanese island.
Adian took Ache and the others on a small boat, caught some fish and shrimps, and said they would make a fire and roast them.
When they were processing fish and shrimp, Meng Lie reminded Adian to be careful not to get his hands pricked.
Ah Dian turned to him and said, "Uncle Meng, no, fish bones can't prick my hands or my throat! Have you forgotten that I am very good at eating fish? I am very good at spitting out bones. When I eat fish, there are more than ten sword-wielding guards standing guard in my mouth!"
Xiao Duan exclaimed: "Wow, General Adian has such a big mouth that he can even train his troops in it!"
Xiao Wu: "We're still practicing naval warfare!"
A Che: “…” It seems that everyone’s mouth has many uses.
Listening to the chattering of the children, Chang Suining sat on the beach, resting his hands on his sides, breathing in the salty sea breeze. After a brief moment of relaxation, he felt a little regretful - if only Wu Jue were there too.
The next battle with the Japanese army will not be limited to small conflicts in the next few days. Several fierce large-scale conflicts are inevitable. Once the war enters a stalemate, she, as the commander-in-chief, must focus all her energy on the battle situation.
I don’t know if she can find Wu Jue and settle him down before that.
Where did this fake monk go?
…
As it got dark, the gate of the Jiangdu City Governor's Mansion was closed, and the doorman handed over all the letters received that day.
The letters were sent to the outer study. When Yao Ran and Luo Ze were separated, one of the letters caught Yao Ran's attention.
Like many private letters, the envelope also had the words "Personally written by Governor Chang" written on it, but at the bottom, there was a symbol representing Taoism.
Was it a letter from a Taoist monk? Since the Governor's Office began recruiting talents, some Feng Shui masters have come to the door, but after contacting them, I found that most of them are scammers.
Could this letter also be a self-recommendation letter from this type of person?
All official documents and letters sent to the army for Chang Suining's review were checked and sorted by Yao Ran herself, so she also had to avoid adding unnecessary burden to the governor, so she had to screen out some unnecessary things.
"Ms. Ran, should we send this letter or keep it?" Luo Ze, the assistant, had already sorted out a box of letters. Seeing Yao Ran looking at the letter in her hand hesitantly, he asked.
Yao Ran put it aside, then picked it up again after a moment and put it into the letter box to be sent to the army: "Take it with you."
Some Taoists with real skills know how to observe celestial phenomena and wind direction. If you want to fight a naval battle, you really need such talents. The few big words on the envelope have a sense of immortality. What if they really have some skills?
The next day, this letter and the official documents sorted out by Yao Ran were sent to the army.
However, in the next two days, Chang Suining, Chang Kuo and others were busy deploying war plans and had no time to review the letters. On the third day, Chang Suining had just picked out important official business and had not yet checked the letters when he suddenly heard an urgent report outside the tent.
The one who came was Yuanxiang.
The Japanese army launched another surprise attack at night, and according to reports from scouts at sea, this time the Japanese army's actions were drastic and different from usual.
There are defenses at sea, and they are currently resisting the sudden attack of the Japanese army, but the situation is not optimistic.
Chang Suining immediately stood up, took the sun, went out of the tent to check the troops, and went to support in person.
This was the first proper conflict with the Japanese army, and she had to be present, firstly to stabilize the morale of the army, and secondly because she needed to know the enemy.
Chang Kuo and Meng Lie watched the army leave the camp.
Rows of warships on standby at any time sailed one after another, cutting through the silent sea at night. The sound of horns echoed along the coast and reached the ears of fishermen in nearby fishing villages. Some of them lit up their lamps, stood up, and looked towards the sea, most of them looking terrified.
"Boss... do you think our soldiers can win against those Japanese troops?"
"Why not? We won a big victory more than ten years ago, and we beat the Japanese army so hard that they dared not show up for more than ten years!" The man said in a courageous tone, "It will definitely work this time!"
The young woman holding the child looked worried: "But I heard that Governor Chang is only seventeen..."
"What's wrong with seventeen? When our former prince fought the Japanese army, he was about the same age! Haven't you heard of young heroes?"
"But that was the late Crown Prince..." The woman's voice lowered and she sighed worriedly.
The man was actually unsure, but looking at the dark night ahead, he still said, "The spirit of the late prince in heaven will protect us!"
As he spoke, he held the lantern in one hand and gestured with the other: "Back then, when I was only this tall..."
"I know, I know. I've met the late crown prince." The woman patted the sleepy child and walked inside: "I've told you so many times..."
The man snorted and followed him inside: "I won't get tired of hearing you say it no matter how many times you say it. What do you know..."
The Japanese often plundered at sea. After the late prince defeated the Japanese army, fishermen in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea would even worship the portrait of the late prince at home before going out to sea.
He also has a portrait like this in his home.
But the man always felt that the painting did not resemble the former Crown Prince and did not capture his true heroic appearance - when he became rich one day, he would invite the best painter to paint the appearance of the former Crown Prince that he had seen in those days.
Although the portrait was vague, the man's kneeling was not vague. He bowed three times in a very upright manner: "I pray that Your Highness will bless the people of Dasheng and that Governor Chang will repel the Japanese pirates..."
The man knelt there with his hands clasped together and muttered for a long time. In his heart, he was still worried about the governor Chang. He felt that blessing alone was not enough, so he whispered: "Although it is a bit presumptuous... but if it really doesn't work, Your Highness, please... why don't you take some time to come and see me?"
He looked up at the portrait, but the portrait remained silent.
…
Within three days, the report of the Japanese army's surprise attack was sent back to the capital at full speed.
A month ago, Wu Chunbai, who had gone to visit his maternal grandparents with his mother, had just returned to the city. On his way home, he heard news about the Japanese army's repeated invasions.
After returning home, Wu Chunbai was still a little absent-minded because she was worried about the war situation in Chang Suininghe. She heard from the doorman that someone had sent her a large box not long ago, but she didn't know what was inside.
Wu Chunbai casually asked someone to bring it.
Soon, the box was carried to the front hall.
When Wu Zhaobai arrived, he saw his sister opening a box. Seeing that it was filled with books, he took a closer look. Then, he bowed to his mother who was sitting there drinking tea and asked, "Are these books all brought back from your maternal grandparents' home for your son?" (End of this chapter)
