Chapter 777 [Under the Brocade 73]
As Shangguan Xi skillfully bandaged the wounds of the injured fellow apprentices, Yang Yue stood aside, his eyes revealing a trace of reluctance. Finally, he couldn't help but pull Shangguan Xi, taking her to a relatively quiet corner, and hesitated to speak.
Shangguan Xi stared at Yang Yue quietly, waiting for him to speak. However, Yang Yue seemed to have thousands of words in his mouth, hesitating for a long time and unable to utter a complete sentence. Seeing that Shangguan Xi seemed to have lost his patience and turned to leave, Yang Yue was anxious and quickly reached out to hug Shangguan Xi tightly.
"Don't go!" Yang Yue's voice was a little anxious and earnest, "I regret it..."
Shangguan Xi was slightly stunned and stopped, but did not break free from Yang Yue's arms.
Yang Yue took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said, "From now on, I will always stay with you, and we will never be separated." After saying that, he hugged her tighter as if he was afraid that Shangguan Xi would not believe him.
At this time, Lin Ling came over and said to Yang Yue with a smile: "Don't worry, the scars on your face will return to their original appearance after a few more sheddings." Hearing this good news, Yang Yue was immediately happy.
He turned to look at Yang Chengwan excitedly and immediately asked, "Dad, after this is over, can you propose to Miss Shangguan for me?"
Yang Chengwan looked at his son's expectant expression, smiled and nodded to show his agreement.
On the other side, Xie Xiao arranged for the brothers who were more seriously injured to stay and recuperate, while the rest continued on their way. Seeing this scene, Yang Chengwan couldn't help but sigh: "Xie Xiao is becoming more and more like a gang leader now."
Yang Yue held Shangguan Xi's hand, his eyes full of affection and reluctance, and whispered: "The journey is difficult, you must be careful. Wait for me to come back and marry you." Shangguan Xi blushed and nodded gently.
At this time, Lu Yi was concentrating on reading the topographic information about Cengang. He saw that the topographic map was full of markings and the terrain was complicated. It was obvious that this battle would be extremely difficult.
Lu Yi stayed up all night, studying the files carefully. Yu Dayong walked into the room and saw Lu Yi's focused look, and mistakenly thought that he came because of the disputes in the court.
So, Yu Dayong kindly reminded: "Lord Lu, we don't welcome you Jinyiwei in our army. Your arrival will only disturb the morale of the army."
Lu Yi said with a smile: "I came here just to do my best to help."
At this moment, Yu Dayong suddenly received an imperial edict, ordering him to capture Cengang within one month. Otherwise, he would be dismissed and severely investigated.
Seeing this, Lu Yi quickly explained to Dayong, "General, I came here to prove that there is a reason why Cengang has not been conquered for a long time, and it is definitely not the secret communication with the Japanese pirates as rumored by the outside world! Moreover, as far as I know, Lord Wu Shouxu seems to want to use you as a scapegoat."
After hearing this, Yu Dayong frowned slightly, and a trace of suspicion appeared on his face, obviously half believing and half doubting what Lu Yi said. Seeing this, Lu Yi felt a little helpless, but still firmly suggested to Yu Dayong: "If the general does not believe it, why not go with me to the military warehouse to check it out, and the truth will naturally be revealed to the world."
On the other side, the head of the Mao family anxiously urged Yan Shifan: "Master Yan, we must quickly find a way to get rid of that Lu Yi! Our business has been ruined by him!"
However, in the face of Mao's urgent request, Yan Shifan did not respond immediately, but remained silent. Mao became more and more anxious. In the face of Mao's urgent request, Yan Shifan remained silent and did not respond directly.
Seeing this, Mao Da became more and more anxious and pleaded again: "Master Yan, you must act quickly! As long as we can defeat Yu Dayong, we will have a chance of winning this battle!"
Yan Shifan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the head of the Mao family coldly, and said slowly: "I may do business, but I will never do anything that would betray my country. I don't want to be the first to do something."
Despite this, Yan Shifan finally made a promise to Mao Da Dangjia: "If you can defeat Yu Dayong, then when I return to the court, I will find ways to overthrow him. Not only that, but also get rid of Wu Shouxu." After receiving Yan Shifan's guarantee, Mao Da Dangjia felt relieved and began to plan how to defeat Yu Dayong on the battlefield...
Before leaving, Yan Shifan had a sly smile on his face, and when his eyes fell on Zhai Lanye, a trace of barely perceptible indifference flashed across his face. He waved his hand and sent Zhai Lanye to Wu Shouxu as if he was throwing away an object. Zhai Lanye trembled violently when she heard the order, and her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she was extremely sad. She knew very well that she was just a pawn in the hands of the powerful, and her fate was unpredictable, which made people sigh.
On the other side, Xiangzi respectfully led Lu Yi to the armory. The warehouse was filled with all kinds of weapons, all of which were treasures that Yu Dayong regarded as treasures. As Xiangzi walked, he whispered, "Look, sir, these are all our general's treasures. He is very generous to you and really treats you as a distinguished guest!" Lu Yi nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the gleaming weapons, thinking.
In the military camp, Lu Yi studied the map carefully. After careful consideration, he concluded that Mao Dadang must have a secret passage for transporting important materials. However, Yu Dayong had foresight and blocked all the land and sea routes in advance, laying a net to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity.
At this time, General Qi suggested using the strategy of playing hard to get to lure the snake out of its hole. Yu Dayong frowned slightly and looked worried, fearing that this move would bring him more trouble and even lead to impeachment again.
Seeing this, Lu Yi immediately comforted him, "General, don't worry. When I return to the capital, I will report everything to the emperor and explain everything clearly. Besides, there is no hatred between us. Now we are united against the enemy. How could I harm you?"
When Yu Dayong heard this, he felt relieved and a look of gratitude appeared on his face.
At the same time, Yang Yue carefully escorted the injured Yang Chengwan back to the post station where Yuan Jinxia was. When Yuan Jinxia saw her father returning, her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and her face was full of anxiety and concern.
After she hurriedly settled Yang Chengwan, she could no longer suppress her anger, so she pulled Yang Yue out of the room and started beating him up. Yang Yue knew he was in the wrong, so he had to take the punches obediently, not daring to resist at all.
After beating Yang Yue, Yuan Jinxia panted heavily. Then, she took out the prescription written by Lin Ling from her bosom, told Yang Yue to take a good rest for a while, and hurried out to get the medicine.
Yuan Jinxia was walking slowly on the road, when suddenly her eyes were attracted by a figure in front of her. She looked closely and found that it was Wang Mazi, the man with pockmarks all over his face! Yuan Jinxia was delighted and quickly slowed down her steps and followed quietly behind him.
Wang Mazi looked around and headed straight towards the direction of Qingbo River. Yuan Jinxia carefully kept her distance, fearing that she would be discovered. Her heart was beating fast along the way, wondering what Wang Mazi was going to do.
At the same time, Xie Xiao, Shangguan Xi, Uncle Gai, Youyou and Lin Ling arrived at the military camp. When Yu Dayong saw them coming, his face was full of gratitude and he hurried forward to greet them.
Yu Dayong said sincerely: "It is a great honor for our army that you can come to help us!"
Xie Xiao patted his chest and responded: "General Yu, you are too polite. We will definitely go all out this time!"
Then, he volunteered, "I am a very good sailor. The ghost ship that Lu Yi encountered before was built by me."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Then, Xie Xiao continued to explain his plan, wanting to rebuild the warship, and then try to lure the Japanese ship out of the port, and then take the opportunity to detonate the mines. However, Shangguan Xi and Yu Dayong both had reservations about this, thinking that this plan was too risky.
At this moment, Lu Yi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "I think this plan is feasible. As long as we seize the opportunity, it is entirely possible to win in one fell swoop."
Lu Yi's words made everyone fall into deep thought. After some discussion, it was finally decided that Lu Yi and You You would be responsible for making the mines, and General Qi also expressed his willingness to assist him; as for Xie Xiao, he would take on the responsibility of transforming the ship.
