After eating, Li Shan patted his round stomach and followed Lin Xin away contentedly, sweeping away the food on the table, Lin Xin was worried that he wouldn't be used to eating those things.

After Li Shan and Lin Xin left, two Japanese women entered the inner room to clean up the plates and dishes on the table, and when a Japanese woman picked up a plate, a piece of paper stacked together appeared in front of her eyes.

Out of curiosity, the Japanese woman opened the note, and the Japanese women who could work here had undergone special training, were proficient in Ningbo dialect and Japanese language, and naturally could read and write.

When she saw the words on the note, the Japanese woman was stunned, then greeted the other woman, hurriedly left with small steps, and went to the backyard to hand the note to the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was a middle-aged man who was practicing in the courtyard with a Japanese sword, and was taken aback when he took the note and looked at it, which read the two big characters "Anguo" in Chinese characters.

Most importantly, there is a family crest painted underneath Yamaguchi Yasukuni, and it was this family crest that surprised the middle-aged Japanese man.

After the initial shock, the shopkeeper came to his senses, quickly changed his clothes, and hurried away with the note.

Lin Xin didn't know anything about what was happening in this Japanese restaurant, and she would never have thought that such a little child as Li Shan would carry her on her back and leave that strange note under the plate, and outsiders didn't know what the note meant.

Li Shan and Lin Xin wandered the streets until late in the evening before returning to the base of the water division, and the two did not see Li Yuntian, who was summoning the civil and military officials of Ningbo Prefecture at this time.

"Aunt Lin, what kind of person is the uncle, it seems that those who are officials are afraid of him." On the wharf of the military port, Li Shan looked at the huge ships moored in the port with great interest, and asked Lin Xin who was following him curiously.

Although Li Yuntian concealed his identity, Li Shan could still feel that his power was very great from the awe of Li Yuntian from the people around him.

"In front of you, he's just your uncle." Lin Xin smiled slightly when she heard this, she didn't answer Li Shan's question, because Li Yuntian didn't want Li Shan to become cramped after he knew, so that he could be a year-old friend.

"Auntie, are these boats far away?" Li Shan is a smart child, he also smiled when he heard this, then stopped, looked at a Zheng He treasure ship like a hill in front of him and asked, he had heard about the sailor's voyage to sea.

"Well, they will work with the people on the ship to create a new future for Daming!" Lin Xin nodded, and looked at the Zheng He treasure ship in front of him with high spirits, with these ships taking the lead to explore the way, the Ming fleet would be across the ocean at that time.

"Auntie, can I go to the boat and have a look?" Li Shan didn't understand Lin Xin's words, after all, he was still young and had limited comprehension, but he didn't care about the meaning of Lin Xin's words, and asked expectantly.

Lin Xin nodded with a smile when she heard this, and pulled Li Shan to the side of the boat ladder, and the soldiers guarding the boat ladder bowed to Lin Xin when they saw this, although they didn't know Lin Xin's identity, they knew a naval attache who was following Lin Xin and Li Shan, and the military attache waved his hand to them, and they naturally had to salute and give way.

At the same time, the city of Ningbo.

"Is the lord there?" A fast horse stopped in front of a house, and the person riding the horse was the shopkeeper of the Ningbo Port Waguo Restaurant, and after knocking on the courtyard door, he whispered to the person who opened the door.

"In the backyard." The person who opened the door nodded to the restaurant shopkeeper, and the restaurant shopkeeper rushed into the courtyard.

In the hall in the backyard, a handsome boy in a white robe was looking at the sunset on the horizon with a gloomy expression and eyes full of sadness.

"My lord, Watanabe is here." A middle-aged man came to the white-robed man, bowed down and said, "I said that there is something important to report." ”

"Oh?" The white-robed boy was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Watanabe to come, and then nodded, "Let him in." ”

When the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw the white-robed boy, he held the piece of paper left by Li Shan in both hands, bowed down and said, "Lord, this is what a group of guests found under the plate after they left, and there is the lord's family crest on it." ”

"Who stayed?" The white-robed boy's brows furrowed, and he quietly took the stacked paper and opened it, and when he saw the word "Anguo" on it, he couldn't help but change his face, and asked the restaurant shopkeeper urgently.

"I don't know who it is, but as far as I know, there were two people in the room at the time, one was a woman dressed as a man, and the other was a six or seven-year-old child." The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that the white-robed boy was touched by the contents of this piece of paper, and knew that this matter was very important, so he did not dare to slack off, and answered one by one.

"Children?" The white-robed boy's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked repeatedly, "How is that child, is he threatened?" ”

"The child was not coerced, and he was talking and laughing with the woman who was traveling with him." The restaurant shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head, which soothed the nervous face of the white-robed boy.

"The stakes are high, don't mention it to anyone." After a deep groan, the white-robed boy who had stabilized his mind told the restaurant shopkeeper in a deep voice.

"The little one understands." The shopkeeper of the restaurant nodded hurriedly, bowed to the white-robed man, and stepped back.

"Lord, what's going on?" After the restaurant shopkeeper left, the middle-aged man who had reported the news before came over and asked in a deep voice, he had just witnessed what was happening from a distance, and although he couldn't hear the conversation clearly, he noticed that the white-robed boy's face had changed significantly.

The white-robed boy did not answer, but handed the paper in his hand to the middle-aged man, his eyebrows locked.

"This ...... This is the font of His Highness! The middle-aged man couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it, and looked at the white-robed boy with a surprised expression.

"I'm going to the port tomorrow." The white-robed boy nodded and said with a serious expression.

"My lord, is this going to be a trap?" After learning the ins and outs of the matter from the white-robed boy, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little worried, thinking that things were too weird.

"I'll know if it's a trap, and if it's a country, I'll definitely go to Watanabe's restaurant." The white-robed boy groaned for a moment and said categorically.

"But what about the matter here, they want the lord to meet tomorrow." The middle-aged man suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and reminded.

"Send someone to tell them that the clan is ill and will meet again in two days." The white-robed man's brows furrowed slightly, and he instructed the middle-aged man in a deep voice.

"If His Highness is in their hands, will it be bad for His Highness?" The middle-aged man thought about it and felt that it was a bit risky for the white-robed boy to do this.

"This clan is still wondering, they have not heard from Guo'er since they kidnapped, and today they suddenly asked to meet, and now it seems that Guo'er has escaped from them." Hearing this, the white-robed prince suddenly sneered, and said with a frosty face, "Guo'er is the killer weapon they use to deal with this domain, so they will definitely not touch him easily." ”

"As long as you can be sure that the country is safe, then you can catch them all!" As he spoke, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the white-robed boy, and his tone was extremely cold.

"Lord, this matter will be handed over to his subordinates." The middle-aged man could understand the mood of the white-robed boy, so he bowed and replied in a deep voice, the other party must have bad intentions to let the white-robed boy go, so it is better to wait and see what happens.

"Guo'er, my mother will definitely rescue you!" Hearing this, the white-robed boy looked up at the last ray of morning glow in the sky, and said secretly with a concerned face.

It turned out that this handsome white-robed boy turned out to be a woman, a woman with an elegant and beautiful temperament.

"Lord Wang, I think Xiaoshan's identity is not simple, he actually likes to eat sashimi, and our children here will not like such raw things if they eat it for the first time."

In the evening, after Li Yuntian's banquet for Ningbo officials, Lin Xin went to find him, and said with a smile while massaging Li Yuntian's shoulders, "This little guy deliberately led me to the Waguo restaurant in the port, and thought I didn't know." ”

The hill in Lin Xin's mouth naturally refers to Li Shan, Li Shan thought that the Japanese restaurant that led Lin Xin to the port was seamless, but he had already seen through Lin Xin, Lin Xin could naturally become Li Yuntian's adjutant, how could he hide Lin Xin's tricks as a child?

"No wonder his accent sounds strange." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, closed his eyes and took a nap, so that everything would make sense.

Since Li Shan's sentence "I started" before eating in the restaurant that day, it made him suspect that Xiaoshan was a Japanese national, otherwise the people of the Ming Dynasty would not have this habit at all.

Therefore, Li Yuntian admired Li Shan very much, this kid only said "I'll start" once, and never said it again, obviously feeling that it was inappropriate to do that, and it was really rare for a child to have such a high level of vigilance.

"Lord Wang, what kind of person do you say Xiaoshan will be, he will be kidnapped." Lin Xin saw that Li Yuntian was not surprised at all by what he said, and knew that he had long suspected Li Shan's identity, so he said with a smile.

It can be seen from what happened to Li Shan that the kidnapper must be the enemy of his parents, and there are only two kinds of Japanese people who can come to the Ming Dynasty, one is a person from the government, and the other is a businessman.

"Since this kid went to the Japanese restaurant in the port, then we should know his identity soon." Li Yuntian yawned and said disapprovingly, if it were him, he would definitely pass on the news through the Japanese restaurant, which meant that Li Shan's family would definitely come over.

"Lord Wang, there was a sudden explosion in a private house in Nanjing City last night, and it seems that it was caused by explosives from the scene of the scene." At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked in and put an official document on the table next to Li Yuntian, "This is an official document from the Nanjing Branch of the Martial Arts Hall. ”

"What?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard this, and hurriedly opened the official document.

According to the Ming Dynasty's customization, Nanjing City also has a set of central yamen, so Li Yuntian also set up a lecture hall in Nanjing City, which is regarded as a branch of the lecture hall.

According to the report of the Jiangwutang Branch, the house where the explosion occurred was not only blown into ruins but also affected the surrounding neighbors, causing serious damage to the neighbors' houses, and the Ming Dynasty only had explosives to achieve this effect, and the power of gunpowder was far less great.

Because all the family members of the house were buried in the explosion, the origin of the explosives became a mystery, because it involved explosives that were strictly controlled by the Ming Dynasty, so the Nanjing branch of the Wutang immediately sent people to Ningbo Port to report to Li Yuntian.

"Gu Chen!" After reading the official document, a name immediately appeared in Li Yuntian's mind, and his brows furrowed tightly, it is impossible for the explosives of the Shenji Battalion and the Xiaowu Army Firearms Battalion to be lost, then the source must be the batch captured by the Northern Yuan in Blackwater City in the Western Regions.

According to the confession of the people around him, the explosives that he brought to the Hetao area were taken away by Gu Chen, Li Yuntian has been looking for the whereabouts of the explosives, after all, the power of that batch of explosives is too huge, and it is a huge scourge if it falls to the people, God knows what crazy things Gu Chen will do.

Judging from the extent of the destruction of the house, the explosives hidden there were only a part of Gu Chen's hands, and it seemed that Gu Chen was also afraid that the explosives would be found out, so he hid them separately, which made things complicated.
