Chapter 2024 A Difficult Choice

The gates of Beiping City were quietly opened in the middle of the night. Countless shadows left the capital, mounted their horses, snorted at each other, and then galloped.

The gates were closed again, and Beiping City returned to peace.

A team of soldiers set out from the gates, and they would patrol the city all night.

…

The gates of Xinghe City were opened, and a team of rangers shivered, looking at the night sky outside with some boredom.

The soldier who opened the gate yawned and said, "Brothers, let's go. If you find the enemy, you will be meritorious."

The captain waved his hand, and the rangers behind him mounted their horses. Then he cursed, "Where are the enemies? Even if there are, they are spies, damn! Last month, one of my subordinates was knocked down by a spy with a poison arrow. If I meet them again, I will skin them alive!"

The flag bearer who opened the gate bowed and said, "My lord, you have arrived successfully!"

The captain nodded and said, "You have to keep an eye on it. The news just came. I'm afraid that Ha Lie will have another character. By then, we This is the battlefield. "

The little flag smiled in the dark night and said confidently: "Don't worry, sir, no matter how many he comes, the Ming Dynasty will not be afraid!"

The centurion rubbed his eyes and said: "Yes, we are not afraid, kill them!"

Turning back, he pointed to the endless darkness in front and shouted: "Let's go!"

The sound of horse hooves faded away. They will cruise around Xinghe City with other cavalry, every day, every month, every year...

...

Three months ago...

The fleet slowly slowed down in the sea. Hong Bao stood at the bow and stared blankly ahead.

The people on the six ships were in a daze!

The sky was dark, and swirling dark clouds flew towards the fleet at a very fast speed.

The fleet was almost uncontrollable due to the strong wind.

Hong Bao slowly turned his head, and the clear sky was still there.

"Eunuch!"

The captain of the fleet, Zhang Wang, staggered over,

The strong wind blew his clothes tightly around him.

"Eunuch, shall we continue to move forward?"

Hong Bao turned around again and looked at the land that seemed like a demonic domain.

Zhang Wang had changed into a thin coat, which was prepared to fight the wind and waves.

At this moment, Hong Bao thought a lot, but in the end he nodded.

"Transfer as much food as possible from the grain ship to the warship."

Hong Bao made a choice subconsciously.

The grain ship has poor wave resistance. Once it capsizes, the fleet will have almost no choice but to return home.

Zhang Wang turned around and shouted: "Eunuch has ordered that the warship be filled with food!"

There was silence!

Everyone knew that this meant being ready to abandon the grain ship at any time.

The two grain ships slowly approached the warship, and the people on the grain ships began to carry food and grass in silence.

Someone was sobbing...

The waves as high as a person hit the hull, and it was a bit difficult to supply.

The people on the warship took the initiative to help, but were rejected.

They watched these sailors and boatmen with pale faces slowly carrying food.

No one urged them, because...

These people may never see the sun tomorrow again.

"Eunuch."

Zhang Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Eunuch, turn everyone around."

Hong Bao had been looking at the supplies with a cold look.

He took off his hat and carefully put it in his arms.

The strong wind made his hair messy.

"If I lose my clothes and hat, I will not be able to see my ancestors when I die."

Hong Bao walked slowly over and walked to the side of the ship.

The warship was shaken by the waves, but Hong Bao stood firmly.

No one on the grain ship looked at him.

They hate our family, right?

Hong Bao shook his head slightly, and then said, "There are still things to trade on the grain ship, silk, porcelain, tea... Without these things, even if we find a new place, it's just exploring the way, but our family doesn't want to just explore the way."

Hong Bao's face was still pale, and he saw that those people were still silent and lifeless.

He turned around slowly and saw that the people on the warship also looked gloomy.

The rabbit dies and the fox mourns!

If the grain ship is abandoned, even if the dangerous area ahead is safely rushed through, the morale will be almost gone.

"We want to use the goods to test those people to see if they are greedy or kind. Greedy, the Ming Dynasty will have a long knife. Kind, the Ming Dynasty will be a friend."

He wanted to express that he did not give up the idea of ​​​​the grain ship, but the supply itself is a signal.

"What do you want to do? The eunuch is talking, all..."

Someone scolded the numb boatmen, Hong Bao waved his hand, he looked sideways at the devilish place in front, and muttered: "When the army is fighting, even Emperor Wen has to charge into the battle personally, a snake without a head cannot do!"

Zhang Wang felt that this was wrong, so he said: "Eunuch, otherwise... just abandon the ship."

Hong Bao shook his head, his eyes turned sharp, and said: "Zhang Wang."

"Eunuch!"

This small fleet is under Hong Bao's command!

He decides the life and death of everyone!

Hong Bao said: "After we go over, you will be in charge here! Remember, turn around and keep going..."

"Eunuch!"

Zhang Wang heard the ominous meaning and was a little panicked. He felt that he was not competent...

Hong Bao suddenly laughed, patted Zhang Wang on the shoulder and said: "Remember, when half of the food is left, if there is no chance to resupply, you must return."

"These are all good guys!"

Hong Bao pointed at the busy people and said, "Who knows what's beyond here? We can't just leave all these good men in the sea. They miss their homes, their wives and children..."

Zhang Wang said with a bitter face, "Eunuch, I'm afraid I can't do it..."

Hong Bao smiled and said, "You can do it. If you find the place where those Westerners are, be alert. Kill them if something is wrong, and then return. Of course, the first thing is to find out their location and national strength. This is the first priority. As for trade... it's just a bonus and not worth mentioning."

"Set up the board!"

Hong Bao turned around and ordered.

Zhang Wang followed him and said earnestly, "Eunuch, abandon the ship. I'm sure I can't do it. If I miss something important, I won't die. But..."

"Remember, don't let those people spy on the strength of the Ming Dynasty. No matter it's firearms or ships, don't let them get close. We represent the Ming Dynasty. We must not lose the face of the Ming Dynasty. We must not!"

The wooden board was set up, with side boards on both sides.

Someone tied a rope around Hong Bao, and then he sat on the board, and the people on the boat slowly let go of the rope.

The supply was stopped!

Everyone was watching, watching Hong Bao slide onto the grain ship.

What was he going to do?

Everyone on the grain ship stood there in panic, and the guess made them a little unbelievable.

Hong Bao stood up, untied the rope, and then asked someone to collect the board, saying, "Keep working!"

The boatmen nodded subconsciously, and when Hong Bao picked up a bag of grain, they woke up from their dreams.

"Eunuch..."

The captain of the grain ship, Bao Wei, said in a stammering voice, "Eunuch, what are you doing..."

Hong Bao didn't say anything, but just tried to carry the grain bag.

More and more people began to gather, and the speed of supply was getting faster and faster.

When the people on the warship shouted that it was full, Hong Bao couldn't stand up straight.

He wiped the sweat off his face and said to Zhang Wang on the warship: "Remember what I said, and... don't worry about the grain ship!"

Zhang Wang choked up and said: "Eunuch, come back, let me go."

The people on the warship looked at Hong Bao hunched over, and felt a surge of heat in their chests.

Hong Bao clasped his hands and said: "I'm over 50, okay, let's go!"

The grain ship gradually left the warship, and the people on the warship kept watching with a solemn look.

Zhang Wang turned around and shouted: "Eunuch, go to the grain ship in person, what should we do?"

"Go through!"

"Go through!"

Hong Bao's decisiveness made the people in the fleet throw away their fear. The six ships quickly formed a team and then sailed towards the dark front.
