From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 891

On the fourth day of September, when the fire on Dongfan Island was raging and the battle was in full swing, the Chaozhou merchant fleet far away in Nanyang finally hoisted the sails.

They finally handed over all the goods to the local dumpers and got a huge amount of gold and silver, which they loaded on the ship and prepared to set sail for home.

Huang Zuoyu knew very well that these gold and silver were not only the profits of the Chaozhou merchants for two years, but also the wealth foundation of the coastal areas of Dajin, which were related to the lives and property of countless people and the future development foundation of the coastal areas.

He knew what he was responsible for, so he was very cautious.

At the moment of sailing, he brought several Chaozhou merchant giants and several generals of the Fujian and Guangdong Navy to gather in the cabin.

In the exquisite niche, there was a statue of Mazu.

They knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, worshiping Mazu with the most pious attitude, praying for a safe return home.

"Mazu bless you, a smooth journey!"

Huang Zuoyu respectfully inserted incense and walked out of the cabin slowly.

On the deck, there were at least sixty or seventy people standing, crowded together, with turbans wrapped around their heads and serious expressions.

Huang Zuoyu and the others looked at each other, then knelt down slowly.

Many Chaozhou merchants and naval generals also knelt down with him.

Huang Zuoyu shouted: "Warriors! I kowtow to you on behalf of the fourteen Chaozhou merchants, the thirty thousand poor laborers under the Chaozhou merchants, and the people along the coast!"

"I hope you can all go home safely! Witness the rise of my Great Jin!"

He stood up with everyone, picked up the prepared strong liquor, and shouted: "Go home safely!"

"Go home safely!"

Dozens of people on the deck shouted in unison. They all wanted to go home, but they also knew that the journey home might not be easy.

A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.

...

On the morning of the sixth day of September, Zhou Yuan slowly woke up and subconsciously touched the empty space around him.

He looked up and saw the Virgin Sister sitting in front of the dressing mirror, quietly arranging her hair.

As if she had noticed something, she turned around, smiled and said, "Just right, wash up and have breakfast, we have to get ready to go."

On the small table, hot water has been prepared, and white smoke is still emitting.

Zhou Yuan put on his clothes, Li Yu'an had wrung out the towel, held his head with his right hand, and gently wiped his face with the towel with his left hand.

Zhou Yuan held her slender hand and whispered, "I'll do it myself."

"Do you treat me as an outsider?"

Li Yu'an rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "The conditions here are poor, and there is no maid. It's my duty to take care of you."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I'm not a child anymore. Is it true that a wife is half a mother?"

Li Yu'an was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the past a long time ago.

She whispered, "Remember when you returned to Shenjing from Miyun Lake at the beginning of the tenth year of Zhaojing, we saw a group of dying refugees outside the city, and you called me mom at that time."

Zhou Yuan also remembered it and subconsciously looked at her chest.

Li Yu'an blushed and whispered, "No, I just packed it up, you didn't eat enough last night."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "It's never enough."

He took the towel and washed himself, but saw that the Virgin Sister had already folded the quilt.

Zhou Yuan quickly pulled her back and said, "You are not a maid, don't put yourself down so much."

"What's the point of talking about high and low?"

Li Yu'an said casually, "I don't care about these things, I just want to take good care of you."

"People only see your glory and power, but not how much you have paid for it. Fighting is exhausting. I can't let you worry about basic life."

Zhou Yuan pinched her little hand and said, "Don't worry about these, let's go eat."

When they came to the main room, they found that the table was full of empty bowls and plates, and it was a mess.

Li Yu'an raised her eyebrows, and immediately looked at Chu Feifan who was sitting on the doorstep, and shouted: "Where's the breakfast!"

Chu Feifan turned around and said: "Breakfast? They are still making it."

Li Yu'an said: "I'm asking about the breakfast on the table!"

"Ah? Have you eaten that?"

Chu Feifan wiped his mouth and said: "Isn't it prepared by the Virgin Mary for me?"

Li Yu'an took a deep breath, gathered the Taoism in his palm, squinted and said: "You have been a little arrogant recently, is it because I don't care about you much, you think of yourself as a master?"

Chu Feifan's legs softened, and he looked at Zhou Yuan quickly.

Help, Brother Zhou Yuan! He almost shouted.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Zhou Yuan understood, and smiled: "It's just a breakfast, whoever eats it will eat it, we can eat it later."

Li Yu'an said: "I cooked it for you personally, and it took more than half an hour..."

Zhou YuanThe smile froze immediately.

He looked at Chu Feifan and said lightly: "King of Fa, I want to ask you for help with something."

This sentence immediately caused Chu Feifan to have stress disorder. He was tense and gritted his teeth and said: "If you dare to let me swim..."

Zhou Yuan said: "That's right. The current situation of the naval war is not clear. Nie Zairong wants to break through the Dutch blockade and conduct landing operations, which will inevitably cause huge casualties."

"They don't know the situation on the island and can't make a correct judgment. I need you to bring the information on the island."

"They should be near the Penghu Islands. It won't be far for you to swim over."

Chu Feifan clenched his fists and said word by word: "Fuck you, I'm going with you today..."

Li Yu'an said softly: "It's okay if you don't go. I will find a way to make you vomit out everything you just ate!"

"I'm going with you today... to sign a military order..."

Chu Feifan swallowed Swallowing his saliva, he continued: "Well... I promise to complete the mission."

"Holy Mother, Xiao Chu has long wanted to make new contributions, and now it's my area of ​​expertise."

"I am very professional in crossing the sea in my physical body!"

Li Yu'an snorted and nodded: "It's not that we don't believe you, but we want to broaden our horizons, so you should swim again."

Zhou Yuan said: "Explain the situation here to Guan Lu, and then tell him that on September 14, we will attack Fort Zeelandia by sea and land."

"You ride a fast horse to Beigang River, and then cross the sea in your physical body to Penghu. If you can't find the Fujian-Guangdong Navy, light the fire to give a signal."

"You must arrive before September 13."

Chu Feifan laughed and said: "Of course no problem, it's all a piece of cake."

He cursed Zhou Yuan's 18 generations of ancestors in his heart, and made up his mind never to come back again. This beast is not a good person.

Zhou Yuan said, "Go ahead, set off now, hurry up."

"Okay!"

Chu Feifan strode out of the door, his face suddenly fell, damn, these bowls of porridge are too expensive, too expensive.

Li Yu'an looked at Zhou Yuan and smiled, "Chu Feifan has been tortured like this by you, you are so petty, it's just a few bowls of porridge."

Zhou Yuan said, "You are the one who is dissatisfied with him, and you are the one who said I am petty, you said everything."

"But this action is necessary, I am worried that Guan Lu and others will act in advance, and the loss will be too great."

Li Yu'an said, "Even if Chu Feifan is faster, it will take at least seven or eight days. Will the navy really wait? They may act in advance."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "So... the key depends on another person."

"Another person?"

Li Yu'an said, "Who?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it is my smart second sister."
