February 22, Huangyan County.

The drizzle was annoying. Even with the newly sent Mingqian Longjing from the Governor's Office, Qian Yuan kept sighing. When he came through time, he judged that his elder brother Qian Hong was an honest man. Everything that happened later proved that this judgment was correct, but what he didn't expect was that his elder brother was still a lover.

Last time, I was in the monk temple in West Lake, Hangzhou, but now I have changed it to a Taoist temple... I am not afraid that the Buddha Tathagata or the Taoist ancestor of the Three Pure Land will be thundered to death.

As a family member, Qian Yuan thinks that his elder brother is good, honest, and is also infatuated with his elder sister-in-law. He has never found a new woman at sea for years.

But Qian Yuan also saw Qian Hong's weakness. He was a soft-hearted person, and he could stand alone, but he was difficult to take charge of the overall situation.

In Qian Yuan’s future plan, Qian Hong needs to take charge of the overall situation.

You should know that Qian Hong is buried in Xu Hai's base camp, and Qian Yuan communicates with him all by relying on his confidant guards to send secret messages, and he dare not come out to meet him. After all, this is too dangerous. If one is bad, he will die. If a big thing is ruining, he will also implicate his father.

In order to see his wife and children, Qian Hong actually dared to go ashore rashly... Why did Qian Yuan decide to come to Huangyan County at this time and be sure to see Qian Hong?

That's because before leaving Linhai County, he heard Xiaoqi say that his sister-in-law Huang will go to Huangyan County in late February to burn incense in the Taoist temples in the suburbs.

Qian Yuan can understand Qian Hong’s difficulties, but he also finds it difficult to accept such a ridiculous thing... Do you think this is playing house?!

The wind outside gradually became stronger, and the windows kept pounding. Qian Yuan sat at one end of the table with a heavy face, holding a cup of tea in his hand. The cup of tea placed opposite him was still full, but it gradually became colder.

Although Qian Yuan became famous in the southeast for the Jiading victory as early as the 32nd year of Jiajing, and his reputation was spread throughout the world after many victory, in fact, he never faced the Japanese pirates head-on. Jiading and Chongde were all defending the city, and there were only more than a hundred Japanese pirates outside Huating City. He was drugged in Linpingshan to win.

But from the 34th year of Jiajing, killing dozens of Japanese pirates in Taiping Prefecture, and then to the two great victories in Jiaxing Prefecture last year, Qian Yuan was like a sword that had been covered with dust for a long time, and finally shedding the slightest light that was not daring to look directly at.

The drizzle had stopped, and the sound of dripping water came from under the eaves. Two cups of cooled tea, the face without expression, and the cold eyes doubled the pressure on Qian Hong to enter the house.

I was still immersed in the beautiful atmosphere of a brief reunion with my wife again, and recalled in my heart that my son stretched out his arms and called him daddy in a vague way, Qian Hong was politely invited by the guards here.

"Today... Today is Baliang's birthday. Second brother, didn't you say that your child's birthday have to be there?" Qian Hong was a little nervous and racked his brains to find some reasons from the time his sister celebrated her birthday a few years ago.

Qian Yuan didn't say anything, his lips deliberately pursed were as thin as a sharp blade, and his temples were wet with light rain. The cold light in his eyes all showed his sharpness.

"My father knows." Qian Hong felt inexplicably afraid, "it would not arouse others' suspicion."

After a long silence, Qian Yuan said, "Xu Hai died in this battle. I arranged for my elder brother, sister-in-law and nephew to settle down in Sichuan."

Qian Hong's eyes showed a hint of hope, but then it faded, "What should I do if I cut off my clan?... It's absolutely not possible, let alone my father."

"Your sister-in-law wants to follow me... but it won't work. Wandering on the sea, no one knows what will happen next, Japanese pirates, sea merchants, and those foreigners..."

"You know it's not possible?" Qian Yuan stood up suddenly, pressed his hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward with his upper body, and said with gritted teeth: "I am in a tiger's den, wolf's nest, but I'm rash in private affairs. If there is any mistake, do you think about the consequences?!"

"What should I do with my father? What should you do?"

"What should I do if my sister-in-law?"

"Have you ever thought about Baliang and his mother?"

"I haven't revealed to anyone about your existence and your father... Do you think I'm for my reputation?"

"I try to find a safe way to calm you down after the war, so that your mother, sister-in-law, and Baliang can see you and you who are alive!"

Qian Yuan, who had a gray face, gushed out a series of words, but he adopted the most acceptable way for the other party... It would be too ruthless to mention the other party's adventure at this time.

Qian Hong, who lowered his head, listened silently to his brother's complaints until the latter saw big tears falling.

"Brother, sister-in-law has been waiting for you for many years, and you have eight taels now." Qian Yuan lifted up the hem of his clothes and squatted down and said, "Don't rush to survive, live and see them alive..."

"As a Japanese pirate, when will we recognize each other... Will we recognize me as a father during the August 2018?"

"Yes." Qian Yuan said softly: "Zhezhi Governor Hu Ruzhen talked with me in Linhai in the first month, intending to recruit Wang Zhi and attack Xu Hai together. As long as you and your father don't appear on the battlefield in the next battle..."

After a pause, Qian Yuan continued: "Take a counterattack and join Wang Zhi's command. If it goes well, at least you can appear in Zhoushan and Ningbo as a maritime merchant. I will arrange for my sister-in-law to move to Ningbo area... If it really doesn't work, let my sister-in-law remarry. As long as I don't meet the old man in Huating, it should be fine."

"Join with Wang Zhi? Join Wang Zhi?" Qian Hong was very surprised, "Yes, my father and Wang Zhi have been in contact..."

"My father doesn't need to interfere in this matter. Hu Ruzhen and Wang Zhi are fellow villagers and have been in contact." Qian Yuan's legs were sore when he squatted. He straightened up and took the boiled kettle on the coal stove, added some hot water to Qian Hong's teacup, and asked in a low voice: "How about the second uncle?"

"My father didn't come forward, I've seen it several times." Qian Hong took a sip of hot water, "All more than 200 brothers were thrown down to repair the boat, missing three fingers. Now the people on the island call him Tan Qiqi."

"Is there any worry about your life?"

"Well, after my second uncle returned to the island, he sent out all the calligraphy, painting and calligraphy books he stolen from his hands. Wang Cuiqiao said for a while." Qian Hong thought for a while, "Wang Cuiqiao is very trusted by Xu Hai. Maybe this is the reason. My second uncle is still on the big island."

Xu Hai’s base camp on the sea will naturally not be on an island, but in fact it is on more than a dozen islands in nearby waters of all sizes.

"This time I go back, find an opportunity to meet my second uncle." Qian Yuan whispered the Que Mulan poem, "Only my second uncle and Wang Cuiqiao know about this Que, which is enough to prove his identity."

"That's good." Qian Hong grinned, "I said a few words more than ten days ago... My second uncle can't remember me at all."

Originally, Qian Yuan did not intend to let his father and brother contact Tan Wei, but was worried that their contact would attract attention.

But outside Tongxiang County, Tan Wei took the lead in fleeing... It has proved that he should have been trusted. If Wang Cuiqiao had not made it clear by chance, he would have been buried in the sea long ago.

The most important thing is that when Qian Hong acted like this, Qian Yuan had to regard Tan Wei as an important pawn for future plans.

There are three people on the island, their father is old and their elder brother is reckless, and Qian Yuan has to put his hope on Tan Wei.

"By the way, there is something else to do when I get ashore this time." Qian Hong suddenly said, "My father asked me to send many seeds of strange flowers and fruits in the garden. He was originally going to send them to that house and let the guards send messages."

"What's there?" Qian Yuan was excited.

"There are too many, the kind of squid you mentioned last time, my father named it the Golden Rod."

Corn, Qian Yuan only ate corn cobs in his previous life, but it is said that he could make porridge. By the way, in later generations, corn should be eaten as coarse grains, and he should be able to eat enough, and remember that the yield is quite high.

"There are also tomatoes, which don't look like eggplant. I brought a lot of seeds this time." Qian Hong said a few, but Qian Yuan had never heard of them. They should be spices or Southeast Asian fruits. He had never been to Southeast Asia in his previous life.

Qian Yuan was a little disappointed, at least no high yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes were found from the description.

"By the way, I heard that my younger brother and sister are now called Thousand-Handed Guanyin in Taizhou?" Qian Hong smiled and said, "I'm so lucky."

"She learned some medical skills. Last year, several guards were injured and sent back to Linhai. But she couldn't hold on. She wanted to summon a group of women..." Qian Yuan responded casually and asked again: "Does Xu Hai send troops?"

Qian Hong looked upright and shook his head and said, "Now Xu Hai has no less than six or seven thousand Japanese pirates, and a large number of young and strong men have been enlisted. Once the troops are sent at least six thousand, plus those scattered soldiers and wandering soldiers, the total number may exceed ten thousand."

"I'm sure I won't attack Jiaxing again?"

"It shouldn't be that Yu Dayou is stationed in Jiaxing Prefecture." Qian Hong explained: "This agent of Xu Hai is very jealous of himself. Among the Southeast military generals, the only one who is quite afraid of Yu Dayou."

Qian Yuan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that if it weren't for Jiaxing, then it would be unlikely to attack Songjiang Prefecture. After all, Jiaxing and Songjiang bordered, so the Ningshaotai area would become Xu Hai's target.
