Chapter 210 Dark Clouds
Wang Yi walked in front, and Chen Changqi came to the side of the adjutant Yan Yi, and said a few times, "Oh, I really didn't see that I still offer you a great Bodhisattva in this small dilapidated temple."
"Commander-in-chief, you are so polite." Yan Yi blushed and smiled.
Chen Changqi didn't know why, but he always felt a little breathless. He wanted to take his fists to hit the two big thick glasses in front of him a few times. But now he had to be patient, with a flattering look on his face, and smiled apologized: "Who is Principal Wu? Judging from the captain's meaning, you have a very close relationship?"
"No, it's just an ordinary friend. You can borrow some money at most, have a meal, and play mahjong together during festivals. It's not as you said."
Chen Changqi grinned, thinking that this relationship is not close yet? However, he was born in a navy. Although he respected Wu Xiao very much, he did not lose his composure. In the end, he couldn't help but slapped Yan Yi on the back of the head, knocking his glasses away, and the people around him laughed.
On the day when Wang entered the Da Nang base to rest, the Northeast Autonomous Region protested to the Spanish Philippine Governor and condemned the barbaric actions of Spanish warships in Da Nang. However, compared with the previous aggressiveness, the Northeast Autonomous Region's reaction this time was very restrained.
When the Philippine Governor Emilio Pirenette received the protest, he was frightened and thought that the Northeast was going to start a war directly. He scolded Raul in his heart and put it on good life, but what would he do to provoke the bandits in the Northeast?
Although he did not apologize directly, the Philippine Governor immediately sent a special envoy to the Northeast Autonomous Region and Da Nang to express his condolences, fearing that the conflict would intensify.
Just as the Northeast and Spain were busy dealing with the aftermath, there was a manor deep in the dense forest in the Jijing area near eastern Cambodia and Nanyue Province. The terrain is quite high and not far from the Mekong River. Although the nearby areas have experienced heavy rains recently, it has not had much impact on the here. However, the rest of the nearby areas have no such good luck. If you look down from the airship, the original dense forest has now become a country of land. Scattered disaster-stricken villages are scattered among them.
A very small number of lucky places, which look like an isolated island in the ocean, most villages and farmlands have suffered great disasters. Some survivors are still sitting on the roofs, looking helplessly at everything in front of them. However, there is not much time left for them. Houses in this era can easily collapse under the soaking and erosion of floods. Once it occurs, the only remaining survival place will be lost. Even if the roof is flooded, the danger caused by the cut off of food and clean water is not even under the flood.
A woman with black veil was sitting cross-legged on the straw mat in the manor. Although she couldn't see her appearance clearly, she should be young from her figure. At this time, an elderly man sat next to her, with a sleek face, gray beard, wearing a white robe, thin body, and powerful without anger. She looked very majestic. This was definitely not the momentum that ordinary elderly people could have.
Patrols carrying muskets passed by from time to time outside the wall of the manor, and it seemed that the defense nearby was very tight. However, these guards did not disturb the two people on the straw mat. The woman was turning a string of rosary in her hands, her eyes closed slightly, and the veil on the lower half of her face moved slightly, and it was obvious that she was reciting some scriptures or doctrines.
At this time, a young man in black walked in, with a short spear inserted between his waist and a long sword on his back. He came to the front of the two of them, stopped, bowed and bowed and said, "Wu Sanqing pays homage to the Dragon Girl, Bai Guardian."
The woman still closed her eyes, and the old man behind her said at this moment: "Is there any news?"
"Just yesterday, Wang Yi, chairman of Da Shang, had arrived in Da Nang. When he entered the port, he had a brief confrontation with Spanish warships. However, the two sides did not exchange fire. According to the latest news, Wang Yi had already left Da Nang on a warship this morning. It is estimated that it will take not much time to arrive in Saigon."
The old man nodded and didn't say much.
The woman opened her eyes at this time and said, "How is the government's disaster relief going?"
"With the cooperation of the Red Heart Association, it has begun to develop. However, many areas with no land and water routes can only rely on airships for air transportation, but the capacity is limited and the effect is not obvious."
"This is similar to our previous expectations. It is also good luck in the Northeast. This year, there are very few typhoons and the scale is limited. It is so difficult for us to use this shortcoming." Bai Guardian said at this time. "But God will not let these bandits go. It is already this time. Unexpectedly, it will rain down. Doing unrighteous things will kill you. God is giving us a chance."
"How are our church members?" Longnv's voice was not as excited as the White Guardian.
"I have already started to go to all the affected villages and towns. I believe that it will take not long before there will be feedback." Wu Sanqing replied with his head down.
The dragon girl nodded and closed her eyes again.
Originally, Wu Sanqing was about to retreat, but Bai Guardian said again: "Sanqing, wait."
"Bai Guardian."
"Is there any news from the Qing court? I can't trust them."
"A few days ago, our military advisor Hu met with the shopkeeper Fu sent by Prince Qing and the butler Fang of the Shen family in Fujian. The news that everything was going well at present, and the supplies we needed were also secretly sent to the sea a few days ago. It is estimated that they will be in place tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Where are the staff of these two families?"
"The Shen family has arrived in Saigon, and the subordinates of Prince Qing are currently coming to join us."
"Okay, you go down. Report any recent news as soon as possible."
"yes!"
The Northeast Intelligence Bureau in Hanoi is now busy. Director Mao Jinwen has already received the news at this time. It is said that a large number of unidentified people appeared in Saigon. Most of them were victims from villages and towns along the Mekong River disaster, but many of them did not seem to be as simple as they seemed.
"Director, this is the latest news. The chairman is on his way to Saigon, and the situation there is a bit urgent. According to the returns of our informants, a large number of unidentified people gathered in the disaster victims in Saigon were mixed with. After they arrived in Saigon, they lived in seclusion and did not talk to others easily. According to the current situation, it seems that they are not natives from South Vietnam, but should have come from the southeast coastal area of the Qing Dynasty."
Mao Jinwen sat on a leather chair, holding information in his hand. These information showed that these unidentified people appeared in Saigon had close connections, and the final direction was the same place, the Shen family in Fuzhou, Fujian!
Gastrodia Ma and Shu Xuening had been having sex for almost a week, but it was basically ineffective. Lao Yi's ear was still loud, sometimes like pressing a drill bit in his ear, constantly opening the drill. Fortunately, his dizziness began to ease, not as terrifying as before. I heard that the hyperbaric oxygen chamber was effective for my disease, so I plan to go to the Naval Hospital tomorrow.
