Chapter 560562. Back
Gu Wenheng was confused, "In that case, then pick some more supplements, dried seafood and the like."
Jin Qianqian suppressed her laughter and said, "I saw my father-in-law always staring at the hairpins on my mother's head. I guess he likes to see my mother dress up. I will send him some more when the time comes so that my mother can wear them every day without repeating them. This will also let my father-in-law know how filial we are."
Gu Wenheng: "..." I guess he will have heartburn every day. One of the couple is bedridden, while the other dresses up beautifully every day. The psychological gap must be too big.
"…Then send more dried seafood back. It seems that the patient cannot eat too much of these. Remember to explain this in the letter." Gu Wenheng suddenly realized that he seemed a little unkind, but he couldn't help but do it.
Jin Qianqian suppressed her smile and nodded, "Don't worry! We don't know what to eat or use for my father-in-law's injuries. We can only give him more silver and let mother take care of the arrangements."
Gu Dashi, who was far away in Gaoling Village, sneezed several times in succession, "Are you all dead? The weather is cold now, why don't you heat up the kang for me."
Li Cuicui replied indifferently, "Don't complain all day long. I wanted to add an extra blanket for you before, but you complained about the heat. Now you're causing trouble for me.
It seems that you are too angry this time. I will have someone boil some radish water for you to cool you down. "
Gu Dashi, who had been eating radish water for several days in a row, only felt a sour feeling in his throat. This bitch really treated him like a rabbit.
…
There was even better news on this day when heavy snow fell.
That means Deputy General Wang and his men who went to Dongyi have returned.
Looking at all the soldiers getting ashore without missing a single one, Zhou Shixiong's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear.
Lieutenant General Wang had been holding back for a long time on the boat. As soon as he saw the general, he immediately began to chatter about their great achievements.
Li Ji listened for a long time and could hardly close his mouth.
“As soon as we got on board, we detained those people in separate cabins.
These people were trying to make a fuss before, saying that they were familiar with the route and were willing to come to the deck to lead the way for us, so as to avoid any deviation from the course, which would have been dangerous at sea.
We are not so easily fooled. Even if we are not familiar with the place, several gentlemen have already memorized the route map deeply in their minds, and have a compass to guide the direction.
In this way, we had some bumps and bruises, and it took us nearly a month to finally reach the island closest to Dongyi.
You don’t know, when we brought Teng Shang and the others to the deck, their faces turned black.
These guys want to order us to sail the ships to Dongyi, but how can we possibly do as they wish?
We tied them up on the deck and circled their island. If we hadn't been afraid of running out of food on the ship, we would have thought we could have gone a longer route.
It is just as Mr. Gu said, their place is really a tiny place.
Teng Shang acted arrogant before, and we ignored him. But later he even wanted to promise us high positions and generous salaries and asked us to send him to the port where he was.
Following the general's instructions, we threw them onto a small boat not far from their port and let them row back by themselves.
As for how they will fight after they return, we don’t know.”
Li Ji, "General Wang, you brought so many soldiers and generals with you, and you just went around the sea?
We are almost sending people to the island, why not do them a favor, so that our two countries can have better exchanges in the future."
Deputy General Wang rolled his eyes. "That's easy for you to say. We are in someone else's territory and we are unfamiliar with the place. Do you want our soldiers to die?"
"How is this possible? Prince Zuo is in need of help right now. If we lend a hand, it would be a huge favor. If you just give up, you might even offend him. It would be really stupid."
Zhou Shixiong snorted coldly, "Since you say it so lightly, I will send you a boat. You can go over and take a look. Maybe they are willing to accept your favor."
Li Ji, "...I am also thinking about our Rong Chao. It would be too much of a joke to spend so much manpower and resources just to go around the sea."
"Who told you that they were going to sail around the sea this time? This is a military exercise, you know. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense here."
Li Ji, "The imperial edict to establish the navy has not yet been issued, and you dare to train the troops first? Isn't this a crime of disrespect?"
Zhou Shixiong laughed, "This has nothing to do with the navy. I just got some spoils of war. What's wrong with letting the soldiers go outside to practice their water skills?
But Lieutenant General has reminded me that we have the basics of establishing a navy. We can submit an application. Maybe His Majesty will make a different decision this time?"
Li Ji: "..." No, I didn't remind you... If Minister Chen knew about this, he would definitely suspect that he had ulterior motives...
At this time, no one cared about his inner struggle. Everyone wanted to hear about his wonderful experiences at sea. They surrounded Lieutenant General Wang and several staff members and walked towards the General's Mansion. Along the way, everyone asked questions and answered them. It was very lively.
As the ship's owner, Jin Qianqian had arranged for some men to familiarize themselves with the ship. This time, as soon as they got off the ship, they did not dare to delay. They informed Lieutenant General Wang and came back to report.
"Do you think Teng Shang and the others are safe now?" Although Jin Qianqian didn't know what would happen next, it didn't stop her from being curious.
Gu Wenheng, "It's hard to say, but with their familiarity with the place, they should be able to land safely.
If you just want to get back your previous position of power, it will probably take some effort.
It depends on how many loyal subordinates he had there before. If my guess is correct, they must be in chaos now.
Anyway, the more intensely they fight, the better it is for us."
It would be best to wait until the navy here is established before they come here to cause trouble. I believe they will definitely learn a good lesson by then.
"What a pity! If we want to know the result, we will probably have to wait for a long time." The gloating in Jin Qianqian's tone was not too obvious.
"Just now, the guys came back to report that there aren't that many ships in the Dongyi port. It seems that we have overestimated them. Maybe the ones we intercepted before are already the majority of their strength."
Gu Wenheng had another plan in mind. "This is not the future. If we follow the gears of history, they are now just a barbarian land. These ships that we intercepted may not be built by them. They may even be robbed from passing sea merchants."
Jin Qianqian, "Now that you put it that way, it's possible. But we can't be careless. After all, they have this ship for a long time. We're afraid they will imitate and build it again."
