Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 445 Reward Banquet

"Oh? Where is it?" Lao Liu's expression lifted.

"The Fangbu pirates' lair is on Daishan Island, not far from here." Luo Guanzhong replied: "The Chen Bu pirates' lair is in Penghu."

"Sure enough." Zhu Zhen nodded. Based on the intelligence and various signs collected before, they had judged that the two pirates should be in Zhoushan Islands and Penghu Islands respectively.

"What did Yu Tongyuan and the others plan?"

"Their idea is that, without waiting for follow-up reinforcements, they will enter Daishan Island now and destroy the Fangbu pirates' lair." Luo Guanzhong replied, "Let me ask for instructions."

"Is there anything to ask for instructions? Isn't it good that I won't get involved in command matters?" Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Besides, it's right to say that speed is the most important thing. If there is a delay, the thieves and wives will run away when they hear the news."

"It's not for the thieves..." Luo Guanzhong said speechlessly: "There are still a lot of fish that slipped through the net and need to be eliminated."

"Scholars just know how to talk." Lao Liu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's so elegant to talk about robbing houses."

"It's bandit suppression, Your Highness." Luo Guanzhong insisted.

"Okay, it's bandit suppression." The sixth child didn't argue with him, and asked again: "Did you report to my fourth brother?"

"Your Highness just remembered?" Luo Guanzhong said speechlessly: "As soon as the battle was over, my subordinates sent a fast boat to report the news. It just happened to be smooth sailing, and it will almost arrive by now."

"Really? Haha." The sixth child laughed and said, "I know Teacher Luo is the most reliable, so I don't worry about that."

"However, Your Highness, just received a report. Some soldiers reported that at the end of the battle, several pigeons were released from Fang Datong's boat. Some flew to the southwest, and some flew to the northwest." Luo Guanzhong reported again.

"Really?" Hearing that Haikou still has carrier pigeons, Zhu Zhen finally became serious.The carrier pigeons flying to the southwest are naturally reporting to the old nest, and the pigeons flying to the northwest... [-]% of the destinations are also Chongming Island!
"So, the Marquis of Jinghai and the others will know about the battle situation here earlier than my fourth brother?" His Royal Highness King Chu frowned.

"It should be like this, and I don't know if His Royal Highness King Yan can handle it." Luo Guanzhong said softly, "How about we return to the army?"

"..." Lao Liu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No need, my fourth brother is invincible in the world, and this small situation can be dealt with. Besides, my third brother leads an army to meet fourth brother in Taicang, so it's useless for us to go back."

"Okay..." Luo Guanzhong didn't say any more.

Chongming Island, the Yamen of the Japanese General Army.

The reward banquet held by His Royal Highness King Yan has also come to halftime.

On the huge martial arts arena, hundreds of round tables, Eight Immortals tables, and long tables were densely arranged... It seemed that all the tables that could be used on the island had been moved.

The table was filled with large plates and bowls of chicken, duck and fish, and the servants kept carrying the trays and hugging the wine jars, bringing up the good wine and dishes like flowing water.

However, the atmosphere of the banquet was always a little lackluster, because the officers of the Beiwa Navy, who were addicted to alcohol, ate only vegetables and did not drink alcohol. Even if His Royal Highness Yan personally toasted, they just picked up the wine bowl and slightly touched their lips before putting it down...

This made His Royal Highness Yan a little embarrassed, and said to Jinghaihou who was sitting beside him: "I never thought that the army of Lord Hou would not like to drink alcohol."

"Your Highness misunderstood," Wu Zhen quickly explained, "It's really because I just received a police report saying that Japanese pirates are coming. We must stay awake at all times in preparation for Japanese sailors. If something goes wrong during His Highness's inspection, it will be too embarrassing."

"Really? It seems that this king is making trouble for you?" Yan Wang's black face was half a smile.

"No, no, absolutely not. The lord came to inspect with the care of the prince. I am deeply impressed by the Japanese sailors. They all vowed to guard the sea for Daming and not let a Japanese pirate go ashore!" Jinghai Hou hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and smiled: "Come, I don't have to go to the battlefield, I will accompany your highness so that I won't get drunk or return."

Zhu Di looked at Wu Zhen's handsome face for a while, then Fang nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's drink."

The two chatted and laughed at each other and drank, one bowl after another, like a cow's drink, which was in stark contrast to the officers who had just tasted it.

The Marquis of Jinghai relied on his strength, and deliberately poured down the fourth child.But he didn't expect that the fourth child had played Wu Erlang before. After drinking so many bowls of wine, Hou Jinghai's eyes were staring and his tongue was knotted.But he still didn't change his face, and he didn't even go to the toilet.

At this moment, several officers ran in from the outside, accepted the search by King Yan's guards, and entered the martial arts arena.One came to Jinghaihou to report, while the other two went to the next table to report...

When Marquis Jinghai heard the news, he couldn't hide the shock on his face, but he quickly returned to normal, and smiled at Zhu Di: "Your Highness, excuse me for a while, the old minister has something to deal with."

Zhu Di sat firmly like a mountain, holding the wine bowl in one hand, looked at Jing Haihou who got up to leave the table with a smile, and took another look at the commotion that had already begun.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Jinghaihou's wrist, and said with a smile, "I'm drinking to my heart's content, Lord Hou, don't disappoint."

"There are indeed important tasks. The military situation is like fire, Your Highness." Jinghaihou secretly worked hard, trying to break free from King Yan's clutches.Who would have thought that his wrist would not move at all, as if he wanted to be bound by the steel ring.

Seeing that some of his officers had already started to leave the table, he said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, let go, or we won't be able to eat and walk around."

Following his gaze, Zhu Di looked at more and more officers leaving the table, and said teasingly, "Master Hou is just worried about them running away?"

"Oh, Your Highness, you, you don't know how bad the mutiny is." Jing Haihou said, already sweating profusely, "I really let them go back to the camp, even the Heavenly King and I can't stop them!"

"Don't worry, none of them can leave!" Zhu Di laughed loudly.

"Oh, Your Highness, this is Chongming, not the capital city." Wu Zhen was still talking perfunctorily, but his eyes began to flicker, obviously wondering whether to turn against the fourth child on the spot.

"Is it the king's land in the whole world, there is no difference anywhere!" Zhu Di said, and ordered domineeringly: "Come on, stop them!"

"Here!" Amid thunderous echoes, a group of heavily armed Yan King Army guards appeared at the gate of the Martial Arts Field, blocking the officers' way.

When the military officers came to the banquet of King Yan, they were all bare-handed. Seeing this, they all cursed, some scolded King Yan, and some turned around and scolded Wu Zhen... accusing him of colluding with the court and betraying them.

Wu Zhen's old face, which was flushed from drinking, was already pale by now.He knew what it meant for this team of King Yan's guards to appear here—the guards he had deployed outside had either been killed or transferred away.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for them to let King Yan's guards in without reporting.

Jinghaihou suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked at his nephew standing behind King Yan, only to see that their eyes were wandering, and they did not dare to look at him.
