Chapter 2049: Night at Sea

I have been the emperor for a lifetime, and I have been calculating others for a lifetime. It was because of bad luck that King Ning lost to himself. If you talk about other abilities, this guy is really not bad compared to the current emperor. What, but this is enough luck for you, sometimes luck is the most important factor that can affect a person, especially in the royal family, sometimes luck may determine your whole life and your children and grandchildren's ten lives, You can talk about everything when you become an emperor, but when you become a prince, if you don’t have ambitions and are willing to live a lifetime without power or power, that’s pretty good. If you don’t want to do that, then there’s nothing you can do about it. Yes, the emperor will deal with you sooner or later, like King Ning, who is so powerful that he thinks the emperor dare not do anything, but in fact such a person is the most stupid, it's not that he dare not do anything to you, but the time has not come.

When the old emperor issued the imperial decree, he wanted to leave a way for King Ning to survive, but was this really the result? If there is no imperial decree, this guy may still be able to survive, not necessarily a good life, but his own life is also possible. With that imperial decree, it will be different. From the beginning, the emperor thought that King Ning was his greatest. If you don't deal with this guy, you will be really sorry for yourself. At the beginning, King Ning thought it was a good thing to have the imperial decree. Anyway, as long as you don't rebel, you really have the ability to rebel. When you have more strength, your mind is no longer yours, and the desire for power will appear everywhere. Once upon a time, King Ning also hoped that he could be a Prince of Taiping. When I was a child, what I thought in my mind was to realize my dream in the sea, but there was something in the middle that changed his mind.

What King Ning likes most is some pearls. When he was working hard at sea, it was this thing that attracted him the most. Once he got a pearl that could be said to be perfect. It was the size of a fist and was worthless. It is absolutely impossible to form it in a year. At that time, he planned to collect this as a family heirloom, but somehow this matter was spread to His Majesty the Emperor, and this matter has changed from the original time. Yes, although His Majesty the Emperor didn't ask for that thing explicitly. But inside and outside the words, I feel that the thing is very good. At that time, he knew that the pearl could not be kept, so he could only take an opportunity to dedicate it to the empress. Although it was not directly given to the emperor, it could be regarded as going to someone else's house. He knew it from that moment on. No matter what you do. In the end, all of these belonged to others, to the emperor, and had nothing to do with me. When he gets more things in the future, he can take them away with just one sentence.

From that time on, King Ning had his own thoughts. He began to change his previous way of life. All things were done according to the way he would be the emperor in the future. Many people also felt it. Even the emperor felt it, but the emperor had no other way to do these things. Everything King Ning did was carried out within the framework. However, the emperor's control over King Ning is becoming more and more stringent, but King Ning can always think of ways to deal with it. In the past fifty years, King Ning has not been in the capital. Anyway, according to the laws of the empire, as long as he stays My own fief is now, just let my prince stay in the capital. People like King Ning have a very long life span, so naturally they can’t be treated like ordinary people, so it’s enough to visit the capital once every 100 years.

In addition, it has been so many years, and King Ning has no intention of rebelling against him. Instead, he put in a lot of effort when something happened to the empire.

Just like when the Linghu family rebelled last time, King Ning was paid by people and money. Originally, the emperor asked King Ning's people to die, thinking that King Ning would not agree. All the 16,000-level fighters were sent to die. Those who died could not die any more. This kind of thing happened to the emperor a few times, but it couldn’t happen too often. If you treat King Ning like this, you will eventually lose your support. Doesn't King Ning feel distressed? That is also impossible. It is very expensive to train a sixth-level fighter, and they are not as capable as Li Cong, so they must spend more. It is mainly a matter of time. It takes time to come up with one, and one sentence will make a hundred of them die. If it is someone else, I will always be unhappy.

Originally, King Ning thought that with his patience, the emperor would definitely endure it even if he wanted to do something to him. I really didn't expect the emperor to start it now. I still can't hide everything from this old guy. When I was young, I was just a little bit short of being the emperor of the entire empire. Unfortunately, that is the point. Now I can only be the most powerful prince. This is too far from the emperor, although my development over the years is very good. Quickly, but compared with the emperor who owns the entire empire, he is really far behind. In the entire empire, besides his own fiefdom, he still has a few provinces that are his territory, and the others are not much different from him. It doesn't matter, but the emperor is different. The whole empire belongs to that guy. He can do whatever he wants. Even if the rebellion and other problems have weakened the emperor's rights, his recovery is still better than his own. It's much faster, it's not so easy to accumulate these family assets by yourself, but the emperor can do it in an instant, which made King Ning understand that he can't continue to procrastinate, if he continues to procrastinate, no matter how he develops, he will not be able to catch up with that guy. The speeds of the two sides are different, just like a cyclist and a car driver. Even if the cyclist does not eat or sleep, it is impossible to surpass the car driver, let alone the car driver. Yes, he moved forward for eight hours every day, and the cyclist couldn't catch up. It was because he saw this clearly that King Ning started his own actions.

King Ning also has his own strength in the capital, so if he wants to do something, it's more or less no problem. Of course, it is impossible to succeed, and it is impossible to fail. Everything is unknown. It is already quite powerful to know that a prince can do this. If there are so many such people in an empire My lord, it is estimated that all the emperors will have gray hair, and maybe after a while, their own hair will not know where to go.

King Ning's calculation of this matter was very good. Anyway, King Ning knew that the emperor would not be able to go back if he was on the front line for half a year. I have been running this capital for so many years. Among the hundred officials, there are also quite a few of their own people. In addition to those people, I also have a tool in my hands, which is some of their handles. In order to collect these things, I have worked hard. It's either the one who is corrupt and broke the law, or the one who may have some style problems. Anyway, as long as they take out one casually, they can ruin their reputation. In the past, King Ning would not take out these things, so he told these officials. As long as you do things well, these things will definitely be no different from waste paper, but now that King Ning is about to start a riot, naturally these things have to be used. These things are very confidential, and many things Even His Majesty the Emperor didn't know about it, so this is the last trump card in King Ning's hands. It can be said that with the files of all the officials, he can control 20% of the court power, no matter whether it is the people in the court or not. , or local officials, or even some generals in the army, as long as they are human, they will definitely have their own flaws. One day they will find out by themselves, and they will be in their own files, and they will be their own people in the future.

If Li Cong knew that half of the important files were in his hands at this moment, I don't know how happy he would be. Those things are in the hands of Yang Decai, and they are priceless treasures, even if you have how much money you have. It is simply impossible to get those things. It took King Ning thousands of years to collect these things, and it took another hundred years to negotiate with these officials one by one. It’s time to use the rest, why are there none? It's all cheaper for Li Cong to go bankrupt. Although many people know the news of the disappearance of Thunder Gate, they have already adapted to the current life and transferred to Mingli one by one quietly, but Li Cong I still accepted the considerable strength of Thunder Gate.

It's already night on the sea side now, Yang Decai knows that these things in his space ring are very important to his master, although the ring is in his hand, he didn't look at the things inside, just told him , these things must be taken back, if they cannot be taken back, they must be hidden somewhere, as long as the news is taken back, it is also very good, if it is on land, it can be hidden in any place, in the future Just dig it out when you go back, but this is the sea, if you really throw it down, who can find it out, who knows how big the sea is, it would be good to have an island in the middle, but now they don't There is no intention of relying on the past, Yang Decai has already made an agreement with these people on the boat, as long as the night comes, they are ready to break out, and there are more than a dozen boats around, and they all feel that they can run at night Those who went out, these people have been in the sea for a long time, and they are all loyal to King Ning. They must have something to do at this time, otherwise things will be bad for the prince, and they will He risked his life to serve the prince.

"It's going to be dark soon, we're all just dawdling on the sea, so I won't say much about it, we'll have our own destiny in a while, we all need to be kind, The prince treats us well. Although the prince did not say it clearly, you should understand a lot of things. You probably have already guessed a little bit about the big event that the prince is going to do in the capital this time. If the prince wins, In the future, it will be no problem for us to be promoted one by one. It’s okay if the prince fails. If we follow the prince, we will have a lifetime of glory and wealth. We haven’t seen anything before. When the prince treats us well What we said, we have to do it right now. Let’s not go out tonight when it’s dark. We’ve been at sea all our lives. There’s an uninhabited island in front of us, so we’ll run over there. , When we get there, find a harbor to hide. I don't believe they can find us. There is only one day left from here to the mainland. By then, we will go forward at night and find a place to hide during the day. They want to It's impossible to find us, what do you think?" Yang Decai said in a bully voice, thinking that the boats of the Cao's House around him had already been thrown away by him, and these people were all like him. Just a thought, people like King Ning have done a lot for many people, it is normal that so many people are willing to follow King Ning now.

"Guard Yang is right. Those people from the Cao's House of Merchant said it would not hurt us. In fact, it's not that we have too many people. They just have no choice. Their ships run very fast, but That is to say, it works during the day, but it’s useless at night. Let’s go out while we’re in a mess. Those bastards are all newcomers. We don’t blame them, if they don’t work hard for the prince, we will Desperately, otherwise how can we be worthy of the prince's love for us. You and I don't know that I, Lao He, have been with the prince's fleet thirty years ago when I was a child, and now, two hundred taels of silver a year Take it, how can there be such a salary in other fleets? If it weren't for this, the few children of Laozi still don't know how to live. These are all given to us by the prince. Whenever we come back, the prince will follow Let's have a good drink. I won't say more about what the prince did to you. Since we got on this ship, even if we lost our lives, we have to bring these things back to the prince. We can't delay the important event of the prince. , we have to let the prince see that we are not cowards." Naturally, there must be a few praises here, otherwise it would be meaningless for Yang Decai to say it himself, in fact, most people come here just thinking about being good Just run out, as for the great achievements of the prince, they really didn't think about it, but at this moment, Yang Decai and this old He's singing and singing together have mobilized their minds a lot.

"Old He is right. We are all fed by the prince. Without the prince, we would not have a good life today. The people in the Cao's firm look good, but they are actually a group of evil spirits. Give us a good face if we can’t do it, if we can control us, we don’t know what to do with us, maybe it’s possible to be sold into slaves, brothers, that’s not our own business, our future The descendants are all slaves, that's a terrible thing." All of them immediately thought of the future, they are all free citizens now, so they naturally know the misery of those slaves.

"Yes, for the sake of our future and the great affairs of the prince, we can't back down. Manager Yang, you just need to greet us when the time comes. Although the guys in our hands are not as powerful as those of the Cao's House of Firms, each of us can do it. They are all strong men, I don't believe they are really that powerful, when the time comes, I will be the first to go up, but they want to back off, don't blame the steel knife in my hand for not knowing you." Soon The people in this room uttered these words in a hurry. Many people were excited. It's just that there is no shortage of loyal and brave men in this world, but there will also be no shortage of traitors. No, The nephew of steward Yang at the door had other ideas. This steward Yang doesn't worry about his own life or death, but he can't do it himself. There are hundreds of people in his family. Although most of them are clan members, he His parents, wife and children are all real. If something happens to them, he really doesn't know what to say for the rest of his life. If something like this happens, he has to make his own choice. Although my uncle is good to me, if I lose my head because of this, I won't be worth it.

The most important point is that he doesn't believe that the people of Cao's House have no preparations for this kind of evening event. Besides, many of Yang Decai's words are not very accurate. If something happens in the middle, there is no one at all. Emergency measures, if this is not good, the whole army may be wiped out, and as long as it is dawn, they can release the kind of thing that flies in the sky, that thing is also very powerful, I want to find them It is also very easy.

Thinking of this, this guy shuddered, no, I can't go out with these bastards, you don't want your heads, we have to, we are also loyal to King Ning, but King Ning knows who we are , I must have forgotten to go to the door a long time ago, and the days to come are still long. Losing my head for others, I feel a little bit unbearable. Even my uncle can't do it, this uncle usually doesn't look at me directly, this time it will make you suffer a lot.

This guy knows that it is definitely not possible to come here clearly. The most important thing at night is light. The most important thing at night on land is light. It is the same at this time. There is no contact, how can people believe in themselves? If they find the light at that time, they will definitely shoot over directly. At that time, I have to follow this guy to the end. Just at this moment when he didn't know what to do, Manager Yang called him.

"Boy, I'll tell you where you went. I have big things to do tonight. Be careful. No matter what happens, I will calm down. It's really not good for something that won't be on the table for a lifetime." I know how your old man handed over you in the past. Your task at night is to sail the boat for me, and the men on those ships have come over, and the other ships don’t care about them, and you don’t have to mess with them. It's time to just drive the boat to the back, let's go to the deep sea." Yang Decai is not in vain, he knows that if he continues to go forward, he will simply court death, and the words he said just now are for others The captains said, if there were no more than a dozen ships to cover him, how could he run out? This is his real thought at this moment. His own things are the most important. People also want to be loyal to King Ning, so no matter what happens, they will lose their heads at most. Since this is the case, you should do something useful. The things I have here must be what King Ning wants the most. Of course Yes, we can run out by the way.

What Yang Decai didn't know was that he thought he was very smart, but what the nephew in front of him hated the most was that Yang Decai called his father, his father was incompetent and not as good as you, but he was still your brother-in-law anyway, It can be regarded as your relative, and also Lao Tzu's father. For so many years, I have told my Lao Tzu that I have nothing to do, and said that this one is not worthy of that one. I have worked for you for so many years, it is you My son may not be like this, and I don’t talk about so many things now. Just relying on this, I can’t make it easier for you tonight. Yang Decai took some people with him, but this ship has been in the past ten years. This kid is still in charge. There are more of his people here. He has already thought about it. If he really can’t do it, he can just catch these guys and go there. Maybe he can exchange this guy’s head for a big rich man. Well, this guy usually talks about taking care of himself, but he got it today with his own head. Most of the money he earns goes to this guy. Everything he accomplished is his, but what can he do?

"Uncle, aren't we going to go to that uninhabited island with those men? Why are we going backwards? The warships of the Cao's House are behind us. If we don't make a good one, we'll be doomed. "Although I knew what this guy meant, but in order to cooperate with this guy's smarter brain, this kid still asked such an idiot question. Sure enough, Yang Decai laughed cheerfully when he heard this guy's question, you Boy, you really have spent your whole life working hard, if I hadn't lifted your shoes, you wouldn't know where to drink the northwest wind right now, and you don't understand such a simple thing.

"Stupid, how did those people get out with so many people? How fast can the warships of the Cao's House run? How much can our ships run? This **** is operating in the middle of the night, and it will start to dawn in four hours. This* **How ​​to act? That's impossible. Let's run back. Even you think it's impossible. The people in Cao's House are so smart. How could they think of it? We'll be slow at that time. Just follow them. Anyway, these things on our boat are enough. Even if we hang around for a few more days, it will be no problem. By then, these guys will feed the fish one by one, and we will Now that they have reached the mainland, their things are actually precious, and they are far worse than the ones in my uncle's hands." The boss of the boat only knew that Yang Decai had something important in his hands, but he didn't know what it was , In the past, when I asked myself, I would be scolded by this old guy vigorously, but now this guy said it himself, this is not my problem, and I am not going to ask now, if it is said too much. Maybe this guy will have something to do, it's better to be honest and prepare.

"Useless stuff, if it weren't for seeing you bastard who can sail the boat, I wouldn't bother to take you with me. How could I be stupid enough to marry your aunt as my wife? It's really bad luck." Seeing the boss of the boat go to work, Yang Decai cursed, just as the boat boss thought, this Yang Decai had never looked at this kid seriously, and even if he had something to do, he would let him do it. As for other things, don't even think about it. In his heart, this kid is a man who does things. The dirty work is his job, but the rewards from the prince are his own. It has nothing to do with this kid half a dime. As long as I can bring these things back smoothly this time. The prince's reward is definitely indispensable. At that time, it will be enough to give this kid a few dozen taels of silver, and he has settled down in poverty. What do you want so much money for? You don’t have to worry about yourself, and you don’t know if you will spend it.

As the sky darkened completely over there, the soldiers of Cao's House also became vigilant, and loudly asked all the ships to light the torches they had just agreed on their bows. It’s okay to talk about it, but here is the sea, where there are so many wooden torches, and finally let a lamp hang on the deck, in fact, this thing is just a self-consolation, if there is anything If you want to move, just turn off the lights immediately, which is not an easy task.

"Listen, everyone. The people from Cao's House will never hurt you. As long as you are well, you can return to your home safely. But if something happens to you, this matter will be over. It's not that simple anymore, and our Cao's firm will never tolerate such things, you have to see clearly, there are hundreds of cannons on our warships, they won't rest all night, every cannon is aimed at you As long as your lights go out, then I'm sorry, we will definitely fire immediately, no matter what the reason is, you just keep an eye on your lights, and if it really messes up, light it Your lights have broken down in place. If anyone wants to take advantage of the chaos and escape, we will catch you at dawn tomorrow. At that time, everyone will feed the fish. How fast is your speed? How fast is our speed? It's clear, even if you run out at night, it's just an extra day of work, don't mess up your position, and be seduced by some people casually, in fact, they are using you as cannon fodder, think about things more How do you say, as long as you come to me to report, you will get 500 taels of gold per person, and you will never be in arrears, the credit guarantee of our Cao's house." There are constant voices coming from the boats of Cao's house, this is This is the third time someone said this tonight. Many people who said that they were going to make trouble were a little scared. Yes, what they said was reasonable. Besides, in the past, these people from Cao’s House really wanted to They are not so powerful. As long as you are not healthy, they will not kill people casually. Some people are not captured for the first time. Naturally, they have their own little ones. It is better to follow Cao's House.

It's just that these words can affect ordinary people, but for diehards like Yang Decai, it doesn't have any effect at all. Mr. Gu absolutely doesn't care about the things here, just ask people to light up the lights properly. Well, I wanted to say something more when I saw Yang Decai's ship, but when the words came to my lips, forget it, everyone has their own destiny, maybe this is Yang Decai's turning point, if it is all right, I will naturally go out and bring Handing things over to the prince is a great meritorious service. If it is broken, it will be unsuccessful, and it will be destroyed by the warships of Cao's House. However, another thought in Mr. Gu's heart is that although they have a lot of cannons, But it seems impossible to say that every ship in this fleet can be watched. The fleet is too scattered, and there are other ships in the middle, even if you want to see it. It's not that easy, besides, this night, the eyesight of Lao Tzu, a ninth-level fighter, is affected, let alone you ordinary people.

Here, Yang Decai is ready. Who knows that just when this guy was getting ready, the voice just now came from the sky. Aren’t those people all behind, why did they suddenly come to the sky? Well, in fact, this is a kind of hot air balloon transformed by Li Cong according to the people of this era. Such a thing can only take off with one person at a time, and there is not much hydrogen. It just allows people to float in the sky. Their bodies are all wired, and they can be pulled back if something happens. In this way, there is no problem for a few hundred meters nearby. Are these people going to the sky? This is what Yang Decai feels.

The last move by the people from Cao's House is actually very dangerous, because it is very difficult for those who ride the hydrogen balloon to go up and go back. Although there is a rope to pull it, no one knows how long this rope can last. Time, if it is cut off, it will be dangerous to them. But for the benefit of the business, it still has to be done. As long as they operate properly, they should return to the ship within the stipulated time, and their actions have immediately received very good results. Originally, many people felt that the people of Cao's House had nothing to do at night. Now people have a solution. It also puts a lot of people off their minds.

This **** these people could be up to something bad. Yang Decai glanced at the surrounding boats. Although the sky had already darkened, he really wanted to feel what the people around him were thinking. Those people are definitely unwilling to continue taking risks. Now they seem to have their own ideas. They may stay here. If this is the case, they will be exposed, and a ship will want to If they run away, they will definitely be sunk. These damn people from Cao's House, how can they have such flexible brains, why don't they know how to give Lao Tzu a way out.

But Yang Decai knows that he has no way out now, and he must take this step, otherwise, if he really goes out, the people here will tell King Ning all this. By then, this guy will betray his master, you It was already said that he was going to kill himself, why didn't he go now? Isn't this still afraid of death? Why would King Ning want a subordinate who refuses to sacrifice for himself? Are you free? Naturally, it is impossible, and King Ning is not a fool.

It's late at night, and it's already midnight. Yang Decai naturally didn't rest all night, and neither did the people on the boat around. They all looked at Yang Decai's boat to see what he would do at night, one by one. Then he looked at the light on the boat of Cao's House of Merchant in the distance. The light was very bright, and it could be seen clearly from a distance, but even so, it was not of much use. Part of the place is still pitch-black, but there will be that kind of voice coming from the sky from time to time, that is also the people of Cao's House, they are all patrolling, especially at night, they will not rest all night, It will be fine until dawn. If there is anything wrong, they will naturally have a solution.

"Are you all ready? Now is the time to show us. As long as we can go out tonight, we will be popular and hot in the future. You all know how King Ning treats his subordinates, but if anyone falls Don’t blame Lao Tzu for being rude to you if you talk about the chain, even with your family members, the monks can’t escape the temple if you run away. If something happens, your family members will not have a good life. If you do well, The life of the family members will be better in the future." Yang Decai is still sitting on the final mobilization, in fact, others will believe these words, but he himself does not believe that if something happens to him, this thing will also Then there is no whereabouts. At that time, King Ning will take care of his family. It is very good not to look for them.

"Master Yang, don't worry. We all live our lives with our heads up. Naturally, we are aware of this matter. You just give the order." A guy with a scarred face said, this guy is naturally a desperado, he came here Naturally, it was for King Ning, he was for the 300 taels of silver that Yang Decai promised them in the afternoon, which is a lot of money, he is just an ordinary person, that is, a bully, the other ways of getting money are No, usually relying on my own salary to barely get by. Anyway, I don’t have a penny in savings. If I can get the 300 taels this time, if I’m lucky, I can live a good life when I go back. Well, if I just pass by like that, it can be regarded as my bad luck. Anyway, he will be a good man again eighteen years later. Naturally, there are many people who think like him among these hundreds of people. Now Yang Decai can also Find these people to die.

"Okay, turn off the lights, and rush out immediately." Yang Decai glanced at the people around and said, as soon as he finished speaking, someone turned off the lights. They thought that there were no people on the hundreds of boats on their side. Look at them, but as soon as their lights went out, the artillery over there fired, and it was just like what the people over there said, one gun was staring at a ship, of course, not all All boats have this kind of treatment, but Yang Decai's luck is rather stinky. A shell hit the stern of the ship immediately, and the first shot hit. Such a thing can be said to have been lucky. It can only be said that Yang Decai's luck is not very good. alright.

Some other people on the boat still wanted to go with Yang Decai, but after seeing Yang Decai's boat was concentrated, their whole bodies stopped, damn it, is this just a joke, and immediately the warning voice from the sky became louder and louder. The bigger it gets, the more afraid these people are to move. Just kidding, people are really watching this. Fortunately, we didn't follow that idiot Yang Decai to do it. If we do this, we will really die, cannonball After the explosion, they could see clearly by the light of the fire that the whole ship was injured, not to mention running away, it is hard to say how fast they can keep up with the fleet. It seems that the old guy Yang Decai is definitely going to die now .

"All the ships have seen it. As long as they dare to turn off the headlights, the warships of our Cao's firm will immediately fire and attack. We will also record your coordinates. When the time comes, you will enter the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. It's your own business, now all the ships continue to move forward, I know there are people like this ship among you, but I warn you, as long as your lights are not extinguished, you are still good people in our eyes, but If you don’t take the right path, don’t blame us for being cruel.” The people in the sky kept saying similar things to those around them, and at night, they couldn’t see anything in the sky, as if they were listening to ghosts Similarly, everyone promised loudly that they would not be the same as Yang Decai.

This Yang Decai is miserable at the moment, he doesn't know what to do, he was dumbfounded, the boat started to sink, seeing the boats around him all gone, he originally wanted to call someone to pick him up, but now Well, no one cares about it. (To be continued..)
