Chapter 104 It’s Nice to Be a Country Lord
Shen Ning, who could have gotten off the car halfway, was forcibly dragged to Xu's house and had to send the honorable Mr. Xu San back to his yard.
Just as he was about to leave, Third Master Xu spoke again: "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Be my guide and take me around Pingning City."
We need a guide for such a small area. We can walk through it with our eyes closed.
Of course Shen Ning couldn't say this, she smiled and said: "What a coincidence, Third Master, the new county magistrate's wife invited us to the backyard of the county government office to appreciate chrysanthemums tomorrow, and I have already accepted."
Xu Zhiyi looked up at her, and Shen Ning's face was full of helplessness and "regret": "How could it be so unfortunate that I missed the opportunity to enjoy the lanterns with the Third Master."
Xu Zhiyi snorted and laughed: "It's okay, I can push it for you. I'll give you this chance."
Shen Ning's expression froze, and he chuckled, "This is not good."
Of course, he could tell she didn't want to go. Xu Zhiyi sneered, "If you don't want to go in the future, just say so. Stop playing games with me."
Shen Ning asked him tentatively: "If I tell you directly, you won't be angry and make things difficult for me, right?"
Xu Zhiyi sneered: "That's not necessarily true."
He said slowly, "I'm quite frank, so you should be more frank in the future, otherwise I will lose my patience one day and will inevitably teach you a lesson."
Shen Ning forced a smile: "Yes."
After leaving Xu Zhiyi's yard, Shen Ning walked out cursing, but before she left the house, she met Xu Ying again.
Not bothering to pay attention to that crazy woman, Shen Ning pretended not to see anything and walked straight forward, but Xu Ying rushed over.
"You're here to show your affection to the Third Master again. Don't you know your own status? A lowly widow wants to fly..."
“Bang!”
Shen Ning slapped him directly and felt refreshed.
It feels so wonderful to be a village king. If you meet a crazy woman, you can just slap her in the face.
On the opposite side, Xu Ying was slapped and was stunned.
"You dare to hit me?"
As he said this, he was furious and swung his hand towards Shen Ning, but was then grabbed by Shen Ning's arm.
Pushing Xu Ying away with all her strength, Shen Ning smiled and said, "Those who dare not do it have been beaten. If Miss Xu doesn't believe it, I don't mind giving you another slap so that you can understand it better."
"Someone, someone! Take this fool who doesn't know how to live or die..."
"Miss Xu."
Xu Zhiyi's follower came out and said to Shen Ning in a low voice: "I have been ordered to escort Manager Shen out."
Xu Ying's words were stuck in her chest, and she couldn't breathe out. Her face turned pale and blue, and her eyes turned red with anger.
Mr. Xu San actually defended this bitch in public!
Xu Ying was filled with hatred, but she didn't dare to confront Xu Zhiyi openly. She gritted her teeth and looked at Chen Ning with resentment in her eyes: "Bitch, just wait for me."
Shen Ning dug her ears as she walked out: "What kind of dog is it that barks so loudly?"
She was really disappointed. If Xu Zhiyi's people didn't come out, she was ready to act like a local lady.
"How dare you! Who dares to disobey Hongxiang Jun?"
It seems that this is not powerful enough.
"How dare you! The Lord is here, why don't you kneel down immediately..."
It seems like I'm being a bit too pretentious again?
Shen Ning thought secretly, and climbed onto the carriage with a smile.
In the Xu family courtyard behind him, Xu Zhiyi pinched his brows, feeling both angry and amused: "The villain is successful..."
Shen Ning got on the carriage and slowly drove away from the Xu family mansion. Not long after, a figure flew over.
It is January.
"Master, I'm here to pick you up."
Eryue, who was driving, frowned: "What happened?"
Yuan Yue said in a deep voice, "There's chaos in Xinzhou. The Tianxin Sect is rioting. At the same time, Japanese pirates are suddenly gathering in large numbers at sea and approaching. The news will spread quickly."
Chen Ning's heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered what she heard those Japanese pirates say in Hai City.
Those Japanese pirates must have colluded with the Tianxin Sect. Xiao Nanchen was there at the time and should have been on guard.
After all, he is the God of War of Daxuan.
Besides, she had already given the Thunderbolt away.
All the finished thunder bombs were given to Xu Zhiyi, who then handed them over to the Xinzhou Army... They should be useful at this time.
Shen Ning felt that it shouldn't be a big problem, but she was still a little uneasy: "Go back first, close the store early, and make all preparations in case of any changes."
At the beginning, Shen Ning had not read much of the original novel, and did not know what the situation of this battle would be. Xinzhou is not far from Pingning. If there is chaos in Xinzhou, Pingning will definitely be affected.
It is better to be prepared.
Mi Ji had been closed for several days because there was no canned food to sell. Hua Ying Xue also closed soon. Shen Ning sent all the guys home, told them to be prepared to deal with the chaos, and then took everyone home.
Lian'er, her son, and Mu Yao were also taken to Chen Ning's yard. There were plenty of grains and vegetables in the granary, which were enough to last for several days.
After that, the gate was closed and guards were arranged.
Sure enough, not long after, the news spread and there was some chaos in Pingning City. Some hooligans wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, but the newly arrived County Magistrate Lu arranged for soldiers to patrol and suppress them.
Soon, the city began to become quiet, and the people all closed their doors and windows, anxiously waiting for news from Xinzhou.
Originally, tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival and the streets would have been filled with lanterns, but now they were deserted. Only the beautiful lanterns of various shapes were left swaying in the night wind, looking particularly desolate.
Just as Pingning fell into silence, Xinzhou was in complete chaos.
The Tianxin Sect instigated a riot, and martial law was imposed everywhere in Xinzhou City. Outside Xinzhou City, on the distant sea, a large number of Japanese pirates were approaching Xinzhou City, with a three-story ship as their flagship, and they were approaching with great momentum.
The Shinshu navy lined up and moved forward to fight, but when they got close, they were quickly defeated by the Japanese pirates' newly replaced strong ships and powerful guns.
These Japanese pirates obviously had the support of certain forces, and both their ships and artillery were several times more powerful than before.
However, the navy of Xinzhou obviously didn't know this, and they still met the enemy with the same formation and tactics as before. As a result, they were defeated in the first encounter and fled in chaos.
The Shinshu navy fled downstream in a panic, and the Japanese pirate fleet cheered and threatened them loudly and chased after them.
These Japanese pirates obviously knew that Xinzhou City was now in chaos and had no extra strength to support the navy.
The entire Xinzhou naval force is gathered in the Xinzhou naval camp. As long as the Xinzhou navy is annihilated in one fell swoop, the entire Xinzhou along the way will be in their pocket.
What's more, last month one of their ships was besieged by the Shinshu navy in Shinshu waters, and the entire army was wiped out and not a single person survived. How could they not avenge such a vengeance?
Therefore, they had to ruthlessly annihilate the Xinzhou navy and never give them a chance to escape or breathe.
The Shinshu navy in front fled faster and faster, while the Japanese pirate fleet behind them changed from a tentative pursuit at the beginning to a full-speed pursuit.
They've already fled without a trace, there's no way they had any scheme... Xinzhou, Daxuan Dynasty, tremble, they can't beat the kingdom at sea...
Hmm? What's that?
The Japanese pirate fleet passed a strait, but suddenly saw several sand ships docked in the strait, which they knew very well could not accommodate many ships.
Those sand ships looked as weak and pitiful as children in front of their fleet.
what are they doing?
Then the Japanese pirate ship in the front discovered that the Xinzhou navy fleet, which had been fleeing in a panic and in great disorder, had already assembled in the sea ahead. There was no trace of the previous chaos. The fleet was in a neat and solemn formation, with flags flying high and murderous intent...
