Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

The fire in Jirong City burned all night, and the next day, Qi You, who stayed up all night, basically brought the situation in the city under control.

At this time, in a rare intact building in the inner city, he listened to Qi San and Geer reporting the corresponding situation.

Seeing that everything was within his expectations, Qi You nodded, looking at the map on the desk and thinking.

“…Now that the city of Jirong is basically stable, the subordinates will send people back to Changling later to announce the good news to General Lei Li and General Chen He.” Qi San said.

Qi You nodded: “Well, you can arrange this. In addition…”

He raised his head and glanced at Geer: “Gerr, find a way to find some people to go to Kangrong and Fengrong to check the situation in these two cities.

“Although we did our best to prevent the news from getting out, but at most half a month, the fall of Rejong City will definitely spread there.”

Geer saluted, “Don’t worry, Your Highness, my subordinates will send someone to do it later.”

Qi San suddenly said worriedly: “My lord, now that the city of Jurong has been captured, if we are going to continue to go north, we can’t do without General Lei and General Chen.

“The memorial should have been sent to the capital at the beginning… I don’t know about the deployment of troops, whether it will go well…”

Qi You smiled and said, “There is no problem with the content of the memorial. Now the court should start arguing about it.”

“The timing doesn’t wait for anyone.” Qi San frowned lightly, “I’m afraid that things will drag on for too long and the fighter plane will be delayed.”

“There should be a conclusion in the next few days.” Qi You was not worried, but said, “You should believe in the abilities of Qi Yi and Qi Qi.”

When he mentioned his two companions who had been staying in Beijing, Qi San’s eyebrows really widened.

He nodded and said, “Well, I was overthinking it.

“I can only fight. When it comes to the court, the two of them are more handy.”

Seeing that Qi San didn’t seem to be worried anymore, Geer suddenly said abruptly beside him: “I’m afraid that group of villains are playing ass.”

As soon as he said this, Qi You and Qi San both looked at him.

Geer was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: “Your Highness forgives your sins, it’s… subordinates have no choice what to say.”

Qi You didn’t care, just waved his hand: “Well, there’s nothing to do here. You’ve been tired all day and night, you go down and rest first.”

When Qi San and Geer heard the words, they handed over and said “yes”, and quickly left.

——

Compared with the temporary cessation of the fighting in Jurong City, a battle has just begun near Luo Village in Lizhou.

Long Sun Ling, who had been squatting for a long time, has roughly figured out the terrain of this reef group. He led people to lurking nearby, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

One night, he captured a vanguard of only five men.

These Japanese pirates never thought that something happened to their lair, and when they were caught, they screamed in a panic.

Zhang Sun Ling didn’t understand what they were saying. Just when he was impatient and wanted to order people to **** them all down, he clearly heard a shout of “hero, spare your life” from among the five.

Changsun Ling was interested.

He picked out the man who had shouted out the words of Sheng Chao and asked, “Are you a Japanese pirate…or a native of Sheng Chao?”

The man was short in stature, so thin that his cheeks were sunken, and he had a pair of striking ears.

He defended himself: “Sir, if you look at me like this, you should know that I am from the Sheng Dynasty!”

“Oh?” Zhangsun Ling raised his eyebrows.

The man continued to introduce: “Xiaomin’s name is Li Daer, and he is from Poyu, Lizhou. Poyu is also a small county near the sea, and suffered from Japanese pirates. Xiaomin was caught by these people when he went to sea in his early years. Persecuted by these thieves!”

“Heh.” Changsun Ling sneered.

He said, “Don’t you think of me as a fool?

“Just now you looked like you were talking and laughing with those people after you went ashore, but it didn’t look like you were being persecuted.”

Li Da’er was so choked that he couldn’t speak. He was stunned for a while, but he didn’t give up: “In order to survive, the villain did compromise among the Japanese pirates for a while, but the villain…”

“You don’t need to say any more.” Zhangsun Ling impatiently listened to him saying something useless, “I just ask you…you, can you speak Japanese?”

Li Daer nodded frantically.

He was able to survive among the Japanese pirates because of his Japanese pirates.

Although he was in crisis at this time, but after hearing the question from the eldest Sun Ling, Li Daer knew that he still had value and would not be killed easily. Naturally, he did not dare to hide it: “Yes! The villain will be better!”

In the early years, he was assigned to guard a Japanese pirate who was captured by the villagers due to some luck. Because of his outstanding language talent, he actually learned the language of Japanese pirates in just a few months of getting along.

Later, when the Japanese pirates were rescued, Li Da’er suffered and fell into the group of Japanese pirates. But because he is a rare person who can speak both Sheng Dynasty dialect and Japanese pirate dialect, he surprisingly survived among the Japanese pirates, and even got along better than before.

This time, Li Daer simply stayed in peace among the Japanese pirates. Every summer and autumn, he guided the Japanese pirates to loot along the coast of Lizhou.

Of course, he didn’t dare to say this kind of thing in front of Zhang Sun Ling.

But if he didn’t say it, Chang Sun Ling couldn’t guess.

He looked at Li Da’er coldly, grinned and threatened: “Now that you have fallen into my hands, it’s best to be honest. Tell me, how many people are still in this group of Japanese pirates, and when will they be ready to go ashore?”

Li Da’er knelt down and begged for mercy: “I said, I said it! Also, please don’t kill me!”

It’s not that they haven’t encountered danger before, but most of them are sturdy villagers who fought back. Where have they seen a tall and muscular man like Chang Sun Ling?

Soon, Li Da’er revealed the whole thing.

“… There are about 80 Japanese pirates behind. If everything goes well, they will arrive here on twelve wooden boats in half a month.”

Zhang Sunling grasped the key point in his words and asked, “How can it be considered ‘smooth’?”

Li Da’er smiled ingratiatingly: “You can’t hide it from your lord!

“The five of us are actually scouts. After half a month, the Japanese pirates will only go ashore if they see us all on the shore from a distance and send them a message that they are safe.”

Changsun Ling nodded.

Li Da’er has been observing his expression, and swallowed when he saw this: “Dad, sir, the villain is willing to atone for his sins and help you deceive those Japanese pirates. Please, please don’t kill me!”

Seeing him so aware of current affairs, the eldest Sun Ling nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, with the cooperation of Li Da’er, half a month later, on a moonless night, Changsun Ling successfully subdued this group of Japanese pirates.

The number of elite soldiers he brought this time was 120, which was originally more than the follow-up troops of the Japanese pirates. In addition, he brought a group of peasants with hoes and scythes from the North Temple to join him. Capturing these Japanese pirates is not easy. It’s difficult.

The Japanese pirates at the back found that the situation was not good, and when they were about to get on the boat to escape, they found that their boat had either been smashed, or had been dragged into the sea far away from the shore by the people of Luocun who were hiding in the water.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, most of the Japanese pirates didn’t even have the thought of resisting, so they were caught without a fight.

A battle was over in just a few hours.

After the incident, Changsun Ling and Beisi stood together to discuss how to deal with these Japanese pirates.

“The government doesn’t care, it’s useless to send officials.” The eldest Sun Ling said: “Anyway, there are not enough slaves bought before, so just keep them and act as slaves in the village.”

Beiji nodded.

But then he was a little worried: “These people are all pirates who murdered and set fire… Will there be any hidden dangers by leaving them in the village?”

Zhangsun Ling smiled: “You just need to give them the most tiring and hard work, oh, yes, that is, hand over the fattening things to them, and I will send someone to watch them.”

He turned his head, coldly swept over the bound Japanese pirates, and said, “If these people dare to escape, heh, I’ll let them know how powerful it is.”

When Beisi heard the words, he no longer worried, he just nodded and said “Okay”.

They were halfway through when a young man from Luo Village walked towards them with an old man.

This young man was the same person from Luocun who could speak the Mandarin of the Sheng Dynasty when Beisi brought people to Luocun to help.

He brought the village chief of Luo Village to the two of them, and thanked them with hands: “Two strong men, this time, thanks to you, these Japanese pirates can be wiped out.

“The village chief and I are here to thank you!”

Saying that, he bowed and made a big salute.

Beisi smiled kindly at him and helped them up, but the eldest Sun Ling didn’t take it seriously.

He waved his hand, and had no good feelings for these local villagers who had always been shunning them: “Don’t thank us, we didn’t come here to catch the Japanese pirates because of you.

“But this time, I would like to thank you people who are good at swimming for helping us cut off the escape route for the Japanese pirates.”

He paused, glanced at Beisi, and said again, “How many of those Japanese pirates are good tonight? Take them all.”

Those boats are very ordinary, and they are really of no use to their villas.

Hearing this, Beisi had no opinion, and nodded to agree with Changsun Ling’s statement.

The young people of Luo Village translated their words to their village chief, discussed with the village chief for a while, and then gratefully said to them: “The village chief said that you have eliminated this group of people, and you are a great benefactor of several fishing villages nearby.

“He wants to hold a banquet for your Zhuangzi people. On the first day of next month, please come to Luo Village for a banquet!”

Changsun Ling and Beisi looked at each other.

Both of them are human beings, and just from the sentence of youth, they know that they are accepted by these people.

To be recognized by the nearby villages is very beneficial for their future development here.

So even though he felt a little aggrieved, but the arrogant grandson Ling, for the sake of power, directly followed the North Temple and bowed back, saying that he would definitely go there when the time comes.

At this point, they were completely settled in the vicinity of Luo Village.

After another period of time, the eldest grandson Ling wandered idle to the fattening area, watching these Japanese pirates slaves work diligently, and he felt extremely sad.

He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to summon the only person from the Sheng Dynasty in this group, that is, Li Da’er, who was extremely gifted in language, and asked, “Da’er, you say, there should be more than this number of Japanese pirates?”

Li Da’er only felt a chill behind him.

He paused and couldn’t think of any reason, so he said: “Yes. The Japanese pirates are not one body, they have their own teams. Where I am… Well, what I mean is, the size of the team you caught, sir. It can only be regarded as medium, so it can only occupy the place of the Luocun reef group.

“There are many other Japanese pirate fleets in different places.”

Changsun Ling nodded while listening.

It was clearly about Japanese pirates, but Li Da’er picked up the meaning of “greedy” from the expression of the eldest Sun Ling.

What he didn’t know was that Changsun Ling was indeed playing with his own calculus.

This time they came to Lizhou and bought some slaves following Cao Mi’s instructions.

But Cao Mi has a strong sense of human rights. She and Beisi formulated a set of rules for slaves, stipulating that these slaves bought through normal channels will be freed as long as they work diligently for three years.

During this period, they can also receive corresponding silver for their efforts, but the number is lower than that of the recruited long-term workers.

And after waiting for three years, they can also get the opportunity to divide land just like those refugees in Rongguang Villa.

These people are now working in the village, not to mention their energy.

And Zhuangzi is now waiting for everything to be done, and it is when he can only get in and can’t get in. Beisi and Zhangsun Ling looked at the account book and were worried.

The North Temple is okay. After all, after experiencing the huge loss in the first year of Rongguang Villa, it can still be stable, but the eldest grandson Ling is different.

In his dreams these days and nights, he dreamed of Qi You because of the loss of the princess, blaming him for his ineffectiveness, and dragging him to the martial arts field to toss.

So he turned his attention to the Japanese pirates.

Japanese pirates slaves are good!

Because they are villains, they are not included in Cao Mi’s set of slave rules, not only do they not need to give money, but they can continue to use it! Feed him whatever he wants every day, and these people can work for him for free.

In such a comparison, Changsun Ling looked at them with much gentler eyes.

He thought for a while, and asked Li Da’er, “Tell me, is there any way for me to directly arrest them all and work for me?”

Li Daer shrank his neck.

He didn’t dare to fool the eldest Sun Ling. He thought about it and said, “Sir, these Japanese pirates are all at sea… If you want to catch them, you must have a good boat that can withstand the wind and waves!”

During this period of time in Zhuangzi, Li Daer understood that most of the people like Changsun Ling were not very good at water.

Hearing this, Changsun Ling nodded.

He is also busy with shipbuilding, after all, this is what Cao Mi ordered.

But not to mention that the shipyard hasn’t talked about it yet, even Liu Ge’s side, I don’t know when Cao Mi is willing to send it to them.

Seeing the shipbuilding matter, he didn’t seem to have any eyebrows. He looked at Li Da’er, and suddenly smiled: “Da’er, you are a talent! I’ve put you here to deal with shit, urine, and fertilizer these days, I’m really wronged you.”

Li Da’er’s body froze, and he smiled awkwardly: “Hey, uh… not wronged, not wronged.”

“This way!” Zhang Sun Ling discussed with him: “I’ll find you a new job.

“I don’t have a good boat, but I can go to Heluocun to buy one or two ordinary boats.

“Then you will take people and help me patrol the nearby waters. When you see Japanese pirates, help me coax them over here, saying that there is a wealthy village here, and it is full of gold, and you can make a fortune if you grab it.”

Hearing this, Li Daer opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Changsun Ling used a cough to cover up his embarrassment: “Cough, it’s too exaggerated, right? Also, how can there be a fishing village that hides gold…

“But that’s what I mean! You can make up a plausible reason for yourself later, as long as you can deceive people to me.”

“This…this…” Li Da’er was stunned.

He probably understood what Zhang Sun Ling meant, but in the decades he has lived, he has only seen Japanese pirates robbing coastal fishing villages, but never seen Zhuangzi on the coast preparing to rob Japanese pirates.

However, Zhang Sun Ling ignored his shock and continued: “You pick two more obedient among these Japanese pirates, and then I will give you two more to make up five people, is that enough?

“As long as you can bring me back a useful Japanese pirate, I’ll give you a tael of silver, how about that?”

Li D’Er heard the words, his eyes lit up.

A tael of silver is not enough to buy a healthy adult man in the slave market, but for Li Da’er, this is actually a business without capital. He only needs to deceive people, and he does not need to do it himself.

He was willing to stay in the Japanese pirates just for money! Now that there is a better “prospect”, Li Da’er has no reason to be unsure.

So he nodded dog-legged and said faithfully: “Thank you for your appreciation, the villain will definitely live up to his trust!”

Seeing this, Changsun Ling stretched out in satisfaction.

The author has something to say: there is one more chapter at 9 p.m.

Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 30 bottles of Xianxian Jingxiao; 20 bottles of mming and Bai Yiwei (20 bottles of non-Xianxuan panic; 373,715 bottles; 10 bottles of dew; 5 bottles of Hanqi, Shiyi, LEE; 1 bottle of Zhanzhan;
