"Marquis? Is it very powerful? Wasn't it the King of Jinjiang before?" Liang Yingzhu had been away from Quanzhou for a long time, but she didn't know that Quanzhou had changed a lot.

"After King Jinjiang died last year, there was a chaos in Quanzhou. Later, the Marquis came and defeated Zhang Hansi and Chen Hongjin. Now the Marquis is in the three states and has tens of thousands of armor under his command. It is much stronger than the previous King Jinjiang. What's more important is that the Marquis is only twenty-one this year and has a bright future." Song Wumian was very glad that if he hadn't bet on Sun Yu at that time, he would not have the power of today.

"Where is Chen He?" Liang Yingzhu was shocked. Chen Hongjin was Chen He's father. If Chen Hongjin was defeated, he would probably have a good ending. When Liang Yingzhu had an accident, the four major families were still in the same mood and no later happened. At that time, Liang Yingzhu, Chen He and Song Wumian were both good playmates.

"Later, Chen Hongjin surrendered. The marquis was generous and asked him to be my deputy. He was also present when he fought against Li Yuanlong before. Now he should be on the way to Khmer. We should be able to catch up with him." Song Wumian also remembered the events of his early years. Although he turned against the Chen family later, he was not really close to the war.

"That's good. As long as everyone is alive, these are not important." Liang Yingzhu didn't know the dirty things that the major families had in the past, and just thought that Chen Hongjin was defeated by Sun Yu. She had no idea that the three major families made great efforts.

......

Dozens of large ships were connected on the sea. Except for the leading ships, sails fluttered in the wind, the rear were tied to the back with ropes, and wandered slowly with the ship in front, so the speed was naturally very slow.

Chen He concentrated all the elites on the last merchant ship on his side, and the ships behind were all captives. If they wanted to make any move, they had to take down the ship where Chen He was. If they cut off the ropes tied to the ship, they would be seeking death. The ships had been plundered long ago, leaving only three days of food.

"In two days, it's time to go to the Khmer." Chen He opened the chart and estimated it, but he didn't know where Song Wumian was now. Although most of the Wu Dynasty's navy were annihilated, the warships led by Song Wumian were the most powerful existence in the South China Sea, but if no one came for a day, he couldn't let it go.

"Deputy Commander Chen, it seems like a mast appears behind him." The flag bearer standing at a high place looked at him, saw a white shadow from the distance, and shouted at Chen He on the deck.

Chen He hurriedly took out his telescope from his arms and looked into the distance, but he found nothing.

"Deputy Commander Chen, have you taken the blame?" Just when Chen He felt something was wrong, the soldier next to him kindly reminded him.

"Well, I have eyesight." Chen He nodded in praise and adjusted the telescope.

Sure enough, a white sail appeared in the telescope. Just a glance, Chen He was sure that it was Song Wumian and his rank, because it was a soft sail, which was the only one in Nanyang now.

"Deputy Commander Chen, should you be slower and wait?" asked the flag bearer above.

"No, at their speed, you can catch up before sunset." Chen He was relieved and shook his head. They not only had to complete the trade task during this trip to Southeast Asia, but also had to go back early. Now the rule of the Marquis is not rich. If they bring back supplies and wealth as soon as possible, it would be a great achievement.

Sure enough, before sunset, Song Wumian led the fleet to chase and re-divided the entire team. Except for the seven warships sailing alone and maintaining high-speed maneuvers, the other ships were reorganized into three teams, as usual, with merchant ships in front and captured enemy warships in back.

Song Wumian's flagship leaned over gently, and Chen He climbed over directly and came to the flagship. Looking at Liang Yingzhu who was nestled beside Song Wumian, Chen He felt bitter in his heart.

"Brother Chen, long time no see." Liang Yingzhu stood up and gave a gift.

"Sister Yingzhu, you're fine." Chen He sighed in his heart. If Song Wumian hadn't insisted, she wouldn't have regained freedom so early.

"Let's go, the three of us reunited today, we have to make some wine and food, and talk about the past." Song Wumian was happy today. Not only did he annihilate the Wu Dynasty naval commander, but he also rescued Yingzhu. His long-cherished wishes were rewarded for their own sake, and the joy was not worthy of being told by outsiders.

"Secretary of Song, we have so many prisoners, but we are not equipped with enough people." After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Chen He showed a hint of embarrassment. When they went out to sea, they only had five or six thousand people, and now they had more than 15,000 prisoners. If they were not careful, they would turn things around.

"Let's be detained in a centralized manner. Everyone gathers on some boats. Those boats do not change sails or dock. In addition, when arranging, if all the family members are arranged together, this person, who will take care of his family, will inevitably have less of the thought of hard work. Tell them clearly that they will stay honestly, eat and drink without worrying about food and drink, and can open up wastelands and live a peaceful life in the future. If they have no idea, the whole ship will sink to the sea." Song Wumian thought for a while and said slowly.

As long as they have hope for the future, the motivation for resistance will be three points weaker. In addition, they have to be held in a row and guard against each other, and it will be difficult to achieve great things.

"No, this method is very good." Chen He nodded. As long as they don't dock, they stayed on a boat without motivation, and no matter how hard you want to break your head, you can do nothing unless you jump into the sea and swim onto the shore.

"Can they really have a way out?" Liang Yingzhu felt a little reluctant. These were all living lives, and she knew many of them. Especially some women on the island, who occasionally come and go on weekdays. If they really had a good way out, that would be great.

"The Marquis never kills indiscriminately. As long as she is not seeking death, there is always a way out." Song Wumian comforted her. Yingzhu has been kind since she was a child. She was silent for a while when she heard about Li Yuanlong's death. Although she was forced, Li Yuanlong was still good to her.

"That's right, don't you think I'm living well." Chen He laughed at himself. He wanted to fight Sun Yu at the beginning. Now, looking at it, his father was really wise at the beginning.

In Jiangning City, in the Taifu Mansion, Zhou Zong paced back and forth, looking at the boxes of all sizes in the hall, frowned without stretching his eyebrows.

"Master Taifu, our family is here to congratulate you. These are all betrothal gifts prepared in the palace, many of which were specially explained by the king. Are you still satisfied?" Xiao Yi and others moved all the things to the hall and walked to Zhou Zong to congratulate him.

An Jinhai suffered from a cold last time and was injured in his knees. He is still recuperating now. He is the only eunuch in the palace. I don’t know why His Majesty suddenly wanted to marry the little daughter of the Zhou family. If Xie Concubine goes a step further, even if An Jinhai takes good care of her health, she can still maintain her pressure.

He was on the one end.

"Satisfied, I am satisfied. The emperor's kindness is so great that I can't repay you." Zhou Zong felt a little frightened. The family gave birth to two queens in a row, which was a great favor. But he was not a fool. His own Weier is obviously resistant to entering the palace and his eldest daughter has just passed away. If Weier had another good or bad luck, how could he survive?

"Well, the birth date, Master Taifu, please see?" Xiao Yi reminded that if he came today, in addition to giving gifts, he would also have to bring Zhou Wei's birth date back. In fact, Zhou Wei's birth date, the palace had known it for a long time, and it was considered that it was a match made by God with Your Majesty, but this situation still needs to be passed.

When you get the birth date and horoscope, please ask the Imperial Heaven Supervision to choose an auspicious day, and the wedding date will be decided.

"Eunuch Xiao is here to take it." Zhou Zong thought about it and had no choice but to do so.

After a stick of incense, Xiao Yi packed up his birthday and also put away a silver note. The mansion of the Grand Tutor would naturally not let him go for nothing. There must be such rules.

Zhou Wei was in the lotus pond pavilion at this time, and her paintings had already burned out in the charcoal basin. She already knew about the king's appointment.

Zhou Wei, who was full of worries, walked slowly along the wooden bridge, with the autumn breeze blowing and the fallen leaves all over the ground. Perhaps her fate is just like these fallen leaves, and she can't survive this winter.

"Xiaoyao, you go to Jianzhou Commercial Bank and find Manager Yang, and ask him to pick some good materials in person, and say I want to embroider the phoenix crown and red robe." Zhou Wei didn't dare to go to Jianzhou Commercial Bank himself. Now her every move must have fallen into the eyes of those who are interested. With Yang Qifeng's ability, he naturally knew what she meant and would definitely spread the news to the south.

Zhou Wei often wonders, even if the news is passed on, what can I do? After all, the king is the king and he is the minister. This way of the king and the minister is not easily violated even in this world.

"Viere, Weire, someone is coming from the palace." As soon as Xiaoyao walked out, Zhou Zong walked over quickly.

"Dad, I know everything." Looking at Zhou Zong with a worried look on his face, Zhou Wei couldn't bear it. After entering the palace, they would rarely meet again.

"Viere, my father figured it out before. There is nothing good about entering the palace. My Zhou family doesn't need nepotism to maintain anything, but now, my father has no choice." Zhou Zong felt ashamed. What can it be? It's okay if you don't need favor, but you can't refuse. It angered the king, and the Zhou family was overthrown for only a moment.

Zhou Zong suddenly remembered Sun Yu who had just returned to Jiangning. He was unwilling to serve in the court no matter how he was, and would rather be a team of righteous people. Facts have proved that they could see through it thoroughly and without military power, they would be wealth on paper.

"Dad, you said, if I was really taken away by the robbers that day, would I lose my troubles today?" Zhou Wei's only chance in her life had a chance to get rid of Jiang Ning's shackles was that kidnapping. She felt at a loss at the time and was full of fear in front of her. Unexpectedly, when she recalled, she felt different.
