In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Jing and Li Tianpet boarded the passenger ship home, and they did not cherish this paradise on earth for a moment. There is no scenery of hugging and sending off hundreds of officials, except for a few old family members brought out from their hometowns, only Shen Mo, Tang Kekuan, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou came to the dock to see each other.

In the north wind, the old governor stood by the river, watching just a few people send each other, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: 'Before this man leaves, the tea is cold.' ’

Seeing the gloomy meaning on the old governor's face, several people exchanged glances, and Tang Kekuan presented a Japanese knife with both hands, and said softly: "This is the Japanese knife captured by Mrs. Wa from the bandit leader Chen Dong in the first battle of Wang Jiangjing, and your lord will accept it as a souvenir." ”

Zhang Jing nodded, took the sword with special significance, and arched his hand to everyone: "I wanted to fight with you to clear the troubles, but I had no choice but to do it, and the old man could only retire first." However, the situation is still severe, please read it to the people of the southeast, do not care about too personal gains and losses, we must eliminate all the Japanese people, and return our people to peace. ”

The four of them arched their hands together and said, "The adults tell me, don't forget it." ”

"When you are completely victorious, don't forget to write a letter to the old man, or I won't be blind to death." Zhang Jing turned around and got on the boat, waved his hand at them, and said, "Okay, let's all go back." ”

Under the gaze of the four people, the pedals were slowly retracted, the boat boss held up the penny hard, and the passenger boat slowly sailed out of the dock and gradually moved away on the canal, but the river wind sent Zhang Jing's desolate and sad singing voice over:

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

A generation of giants has suddenly fallen, and those who remain will continue to persevere.

When Zhang Jing's boat was completely out of sight, the four of them walked out of the dock. Shen Mo asked softly, "What are the plans of the three generals?" Everyone was an acquaintance, and there was nothing to hide, so I heard Tong Kekuan say: "I have applied like above, and I want to go to the north." "He is the number one general under Governor Zhang, with great military achievements and good tolerance, and a group of people have long looked at him unpleasantly. At this moment, as soon as the big tree that shelters from the wind and rain falls, the future will definitely be more difficult, so Shen Mo and Qi Jiguang both expressed their understanding and did not say anything.

Yu Dayou persuaded him: "The national policy of the imperial court to suppress the south and defend the north has been decided, and it is in vain for Brother Wuhe to go to the north now, so it is better to hold on a little longer...... No matter who is in power, we warriors are always needed to fight. ”

Tang Kekuan shook his head and smiled: "I have never taken Zhao Wenhua in my eyes, and I am a little offended in my words, if I don't take the initiative to go north, I will definitely be personally vendetted by this fang." Saying that, he smiled and said: "I come every year, and there is no shortage of wars in the north, maybe in a few years, my brother and I will make a fortune." At this time, when he arrived at the place where the guards were waiting, his own soldiers led his horse over, and Tang Kekuan saluted the three of them with a fist, and went first.

Shen Mo looked at Yu Dayou again, Yu Dayou lowered his voice and said: "Don't hide it from my brother, Zhang Butang has agreed to train my navy a few months ago, and mobilized more than 100 military ships from various provinces for me, which have been assembled in Yangzhou, and I will train as soon as I arrive." As he spoke, he clenched his fists and said: "I want to train a navy that can go to sea to fight, and I can't be like Brother Wuhe's navy, which only dares to do so in rivers and lakes." ”

Shen Mo said softly when he heard this: "Brother Yu's can finally get what he wants." Yu Dayou smiled: "There must be a lot of trouble." He shook his fist at them, and then got on his horse and left.

In the end, only he and Qi Jiguang were left, and Shen Mo took out a thick booklet from his arms and said: "This is the 'training plan' you gave me, I have read it carefully, and a few thoughts are written in the blank space." ”

Qi Jiguang took the booklet and said in a low voice: "So I can finalize it when I go back and see......" After a pause, he smiled embarrassedly: "I just don't know, when will it be put into practice?" ”

Shen Mo said softly: "I already got the strip, but Zhang Butang left, and I don't know if it's useless, so I simply didn't take it out...... Anyway, now that the year is down, even if you get the approval document, you have to do it after the New Year, so it's better to wait for Governor Zhou to take office, and I will immediately go to him to implement it! ”

"That's all there is to it." Qi Jiguang sighed and said, "What about Brother Humble Yan?" What do you do next? ”

smiled silently: "Go home for the New Year and accompany my father...... Brother Yuan Jing, do you want to go together? ”

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "I really want to go, but your sister-in-law is from her hometown in Shandong, and I have to go back to accompany me for the New Year." ”

Returning to Lu Yuan from the dock, Shen Mo was somewhat surprised to find that the large number of patrols was still guarding the outdated governor.

By this time it was already dark, and the red lantern in front of the porter had been lit, but the words 'Doge's Palace' were missing.

"That's fast." Shen An sighed and said, "There will be it when I go out at noon." ”

The guards swarmed and silently passed, but they were stopped - there is a way to not meet the enemy, this time the one who stood in the way is still the Qianhu who stopped him last time, only to hear him say happily: "Qin is on a mission, idlers should not approach!" ”

Looking at the hateful horse face, Tie Zhu said angrily: "Bold, my family lives in it, don't you recognize it?" ”

The thousand households looked at each other silently, and then they didn't smile and said, "Isn't this Zhang Dashuai's guest?" Disrespectful and disrespectful. Saying that, he said with a straight face: "But now this is Zhao Shilang's official residence, and it is dark now, please forgive the villain for not letting him go." "These thousand households have been patrolling the mansion all day long, and they know a little about the struggle between Governor Zhang and Zhao Shilang, and now Zhang has defeated Zhao Sheng, so he feels that Shen Mo, a guy who lives in Zhang Jing's house all day long, will definitely be unlucky.

"You ......" the iron pillar was about to be beaten, and the thousand households did not show weakness, and as soon as he beckoned, his subordinates surrounded him and repeated the drama again.

The thousand households also felt that this scene was familiar, so they smiled and said: "If the villain remembers correctly, at that time, my lord, you took out a famous thorn, handed it in, and the two doors opened together, and the governor personally greeted him." Saying that, he sneered and said, "You might as well take out the famous thorn and try it again, and see if you can open the door this time...... If you can't do that, please come and go. ”

He looked at him silently for a while, and suddenly smiled: "What's your name?" ”

"What about telling you?" The thousand households said, "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Dading." ”

Shen Mo asked Shen An to give him a famous thorn, and said with a smile: "Trouble this Mr. Zhou Qian, help me to pass it and see if Lord Zhao lets me in." ”

"Willing to serve," said the thousand households, who took the thorn, walked to the door, and slipped it through the crack in the door.

A quarter of an hour later, the gate, the second gate, and the Yi gate of Lu Yuan were all opened, and Hu Zongxian, who was full of spring breeze, appeared at the door and smiled affectionately: "Brother Humble Yan, why did you come back, the Duke of Meicun will be waiting for you to eat." And he went hand in hand with him into the courtyard.

Looking at the slowly closing door, the Qianhu Lord sat on the ground with his legs weak, and moaned weakly: "It's over, it's complete." The next day he packed up his things and fled, never to be seen again.

followed Hu Zongxian to the dining room, and saw Zhao Wenhua drinking with a handsome young man, as soon as he saw Shen Mo come in, Zhao Shilang laughed and said: "Humble words, you are late, you will be fined three glasses of wine first." The young man brought an empty wine glass over and filled it with him, saying, "Lord Shen, please." ”

Although an uninvited guest came, everyone knows how to play tricks on the spot, and Shen Mo is no exception, he happily did three cups, and then sat down on Zhao Wenhua's right hand, Hu Zongxian was opposite him, and the young man sat down instead.

After sitting silently, I realized that the table was full of Fuzhou dishes, and looking at those familiar dishes, it was no different from the last time...... It seems that as soon as Zhao Shilang drove away his rival, he couldn't wait to live in someone's house, eat what he had eaten at Zhang Butang's dining place. In addition to the laughter, there is more of a shudder...... It can only be said that his vindictiveness is too perverted. Shen Mo couldn't help but be secretly vigilant, and said in his heart that he must not provoke this kind of person.

Fortunately, so far, Zhao Shilang is still satisfied with him, and said to Shen Mo with a smile: "Brother Merlin doesn't need to be introduced," pointing to the young man and said: "This surname is Luo, his name is Longwen, and his words contain chapters, and he is a fellow villager of Brother Merlin." This time to bring down Zhang Jing's thief, Hanzhang made a great effort. ”

As soon as he heard the words 'Luo Longwen', Shen Mo's heart moved, and he said secretly: "It turned out to be this guy." I understood why he wanted to grab the 'Hundred Flowers Fairy Wine', it turned out to please this Zhao Shilang.

Quietly greeted Luo Longwen, and then heard Zhao Wenhua raise his glass and smiled: "I can bring down the old thief Zhang Jing, and the clumsy words of the recital also worked, come, this prince respects you three heroes with a cup." Yan Jing had already sent a letter, telling him that it was Lu Bing's self-defeating failure to put Zhang Jing to death this time, so Zhao Wenhua didn't know that Shen Mo's recital was secretly mysterious.

Hearing him say this, Shen Mo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up his spirits, and entertained Zhao Wenhua and others, but the same dishes and drinks as that said, why is the food tasteless and the drink bitter?

In the middle of the banquet, the cook served a plate of 'chicken soup and sea mussels', Zhao Wenhua asked with interest what it was, and the cook explained the ins and outs of this dish with a smile, which also said the allusion of Xi Shi tongue.
