The son-in-law is a thief

Chapter 127

What is the concept of [-] warships, probably starting from Wu'an Port, with fifty ships in a row, and a full row of two hundred ships, the sails of these ships are raised, and even the sun will It is covered tightly. If you stand at the highest point of Wu'an Port and look at the last ship, you may not be able to see the mast of the ship clearly.These [-] warships are also hard-won. Although the Gu family has a lot of ships, they are also divided into warships, merchant ships, fishing boats, and cargo ships. Each type of ship is scattered all over the world. The recall did take a whole half a month.

But it is impossible to moor such a large number of ships in front of Wu'an Port. First of all, Qin Li'an is not stupid, and secondly, Chu Han is also a wily man. If these ships turn around on the spot, it will be extremely dangerous. Here, the entry and exit of other ships were also blocked, so Qin Li'an asked Gu Ruyang to bring only one hundred of the largest lucky boats to the scene, and other ships stayed on the coastline south of Wu'an Port, and were not allowed to enter the port without an order.

Although there are only a hundred ships in the port, it is enough to ignite the fire in Qin Li'an's heart. He also asked soldiers to build a high platform on the cliff by the sea three days ago. The high platform itself is several feet high. , decorated with dragon patterns, and standing on a cliff, it looks majestic.Standing on the high platform, Qin Li'an can see Wu'an Port from the north bank to the south bank clearly at a glance, and has a great view of the small mountains. Official and Nianguicheng's position as a gentry, he naturally wants everyone to see Nianguicheng's strength, let everyone know that Gu Ruyang will also be used by him, and finally the entire Taiping Island will surrender to him.

Qin Li'an named the ceremony of picking up the ship as the Sea Reading Ceremony.

At this time, there is heavy snowfall in the 24 solar terms. If the temperature in Hokuriku has already dropped, the people will also prepare carbon salaries and start preparing for the winter.But this place is Taiping Island, except that the southerly wind is stronger, the temperature is not much different from the past, at least the sun is still warming the sea, and fish occasionally fly up and down on the golden sea.At this time, Wu'an Port was already crowded with people, whether it was the royal nobles, court officials or flexible soldiers and civilians, they were all looking forward to this grand ceremony.

Since it is a grand ceremony, the most people are naturally people.Although Zheng Qi had mobilized all the soldiers available in the inland port, it seemed that they could not maintain the order of the day. Many people entered Wu'an Port, but they just stood far away and tried not to attract the attention of those soldiers.The main force of the Ministry of War was guarding the south bank of Wu'an Port to prevent the tens of thousands of warships from changing. Fortunately, Chu Han was known as a forerunner, and dispatched Habayashi Guards to protect Qin Li'an in advance. Generally speaking, the defense of the entire Wu'an Port The work is rigorous.

No matter how good the defense work is, it is not as good as using the means well. It is said that capturing the thief first captures the king. Gu Ruyang was also invited to the high platform, and he was on the same stage with Qin Li'an. Even Qin Li'an's confidantes Chu Han and Zheng Qi Everyone was only on the left and right platforms. Originally, Zhaoyang would also be here, but the Eldest Princess stayed in the Wanshi Chamber of Commerce on the grounds that she was unwell. Of course, Qin Li'an also sent people to station outside the Chamber of Commerce on the grounds that she was worried about the elder sister's health. .

But Qin Li'an has basically arranged everything that can control the actions of Gu Ruyang and Zhaoyang, leaving no room for the two of them. After all, the boat has not really arrived in his hands, so he should be careful.

First of all, the Ministry of Rites announced the form of the ceremony. The newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Rites first read a call to arms, roughly saying that the Northern Qi usurped power and disrupted the rituals of heaven and earth. The voice of appreciation, especially the officials of the Ministry of War and the Navy, who seemed to have honey on their mouths, made Qin Li'an very happy to hear it.

Qin Li'an's face was still calm, the majesty of the emperor is not angry, but he still quietly looked at Gu Ruyang beside him. second palm.

"Gu Ruyang," Qin Li'an said, "your warship... oh, no, it's my warship that is about to sail past Wu'an Port, and my navy, led by Admiral Zheng, is also on the way. They are all elite, this ship is naturally worthy of my navy."

Gu Ruyang felt unspeakably disgusted, but she still smiled.

"Brother-in-law, as long as you are happy."

"I'm also a man who keeps his word. When I get Beilu back, Taiping Island will be given to you." Qin Li'an said.

Gu Ruyang sneered, Taiping Island originally belonged to Wanshi Port, if Chen Qingchuan hadn’t thought of marrying Da Zhou before, how could he have let them go to the island so easily, and he and Qi Bing had cleaned up these people when they crossed the Qionger Strait Yes, but then I thought about it again, if it wasn't for Da Zhou and Chen Qingchuan's greed, how could there be a marriage between her and Zhaoyang.

"Brother-in-law, it means that whether you win or lose, my ship is still my ship, right?" Gu Ruyang saw that Qin Li'an was really arrogant, so he couldn't help reminding him of the bet.

"I will not lose." Qin Li'an said with a downcast face: "Gu Ruyang, you have to remember that I will definitely become an emperor through the ages, even if I die in battle, my name will go down in history, and you are just a mere pirate .”

Gu Ruyang didn't bother to pay attention to it. In her eyes, the children and grandchildren of the old Qin family were a little silly except for Zhaoyang. Gu Ruyang took a sip of the wine in front of him, but still found it boring.At this time, an official from the Ministry of Rites walked up to Qin Li'an. The Ministry of Rites also fell apart after Huang Yuan was imprisoned. In addition, Zhaoyang went to lobby for a long time, and the entire Ministry of Rites basically changed blood.

"Your Majesty, may the ship be allowed to enter the port?"

Qin Li'an saw that not only the ministers on the high platforms on the left and right had arrived, but even the hills near Wu'an Port were full of common people. They should all be eagerly waiting for the next scene. Qin Li'an nodded to the official from the Ministry of Rites: " Promise, tell Zheng Qi that you can start reading the sea."

"It's Your Majesty." The official saluted, and immediately walked to the high platform, he shouted loudly towards Wu'an Port:

"Reading-sea-open-start-!"

As soon as the official's words fell, under the three high platforms, the drums on the shore of Wu'an Port rang together, and hundreds of drummers beat the drums at the same time. They rose up.

Then the sound of the drum beats changed, the rapid beating suddenly slowed down, and only the taiko drum was ringing, the other drummers stopped their movements, and the sound of the taiko drum sounded along with the sea, which was in harmony with the drums on the shore. The sound of the stocks became a tune, and ten warships were seen advancing side by side, sailing from the south bank of Wu'an Port to the north bank.

Gu Ruyang frowned unhappily. After all, it was her own trick. She thought she could accept it readily, but Gu Ruyang was still very upset when she saw that her ship had been replaced with the military flag of the Great Zhou. , both sides of the deck were also full of sailors from the Northern Qi Dynasty. When the ship passed the high platform where Gu Ruyang and Qin Li'an were sitting, the soldiers shouted in unison: "My emperor is mighty, put down Beilu, long live! Long live! !Long live!"

Qin Li'an simply got up from his seat, he raised his hands to signal to his soldiers, and then the boats in the second row also sailed in, and the sound of long live continued, not only this, but perhaps the surrounding people were also infected, They also cheered and jumped, as if the war hadn't even started, and Beilu had already been captured by Qin Li'an.

Gu Ruyang had the urge to plug her ears with something, and in the end she sat here obediently. After all, Gu Ruyang, as the chess player in this game, wanted to see how Qin Li'an fell from the high platform tremblingly. Going down, of course, it would be even more enjoyable if he could kick him into the sea right now.

But sitting here and watching Qin Li'an lose is not what Gu Ruyang wants to do today. Qin Li'an is waiting to see his navy, and Gu Ruyang is the same. Ten thousand warships are really not for Qin Li'an to fight north Lu's.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...it's not good."

Suddenly, a little servant came up from the stage holding Qin Li'an's imperial token. Gu Ruyang still remembered that this little servant was the one who lorded over her in front of her half a month ago.

"What's wrong! Slap your mouth!" An old eunuch behind Qin Li'an first stepped forward and kicked the little servant to the ground: "Don't get out!"

"But...but..." The little servant still didn't give up, but hugged Gu Ruyang's leg, and of course was kicked out again.

"It's better to ask what is so urgent." Gu Ruyang suggested: "After all, the people who come out of the East Palace are very well-behaved, right?"

Qin Li'an gave the old servant a look, and the old servant took the young servant down, but after a while, the old servant also rushed up, obviously in less than a moment, the old servant Beads of sweat were all over his face.He walked up to Qin Li'an carefully and whispered something in his ear, only to see Qin Li'an also shouted fiercely: "What!"

"The old slave has confirmed again and again that he dare not deceive the king."

In fact, she didn't need to listen to Gu Ruyang to know what the two were talking about, but she just pretended not to care.Qin Li'an naturally also looked at Gu Ruyang.

"What's the matter, brother-in-law?" She suddenly made a surprised face: "Is it because my boat is turned upside down?"

"How dare you!" Qin Li'an shouted.

"Am I still here with you?" Gu Ruyang reminded that this was just a joke, and she continued, "Why don't my brother-in-law take care of your business first?"

Qin Li'an naturally didn't have time to pay attention to Gu Ruyang, he looked at the fleet that had already sailed halfway and said to the old servant: "Let Zheng Qi read the sea on my behalf, I will go back to the palace first."

"The old slave will arrange it immediately!" The servant sent someone to spread the word after saying that.

"Let Chu Han come with me," said Qin Li'an, and hurriedly walked down the stage. Before leaving, he still said to Gu Ruyang, "You just stay here and don't go anywhere!"

Gu Ruyang looked at the back of Chu Han walking down the high platform, and couldn't help showing a victorious smile on his face.
