    ?

    Humen Town, Horn Bay,

    The sea breeze howls!  Dark clouds overwhelm!

    The sky is evil, and the shopkeeper and the waiter in the Xinghua Building not far from the entrance of the sea are busy.  Turned the dilapidated small restaurant into a new one from the inside out.

    Drived away a few porters at the door who were idle and tore their feet; knocked and tapped to make up for the lame Eight Immortals table; shook off the dust accumulated on the plaque, and the kitchen knife scraped off the thick layer of greasy food.  The chef spent a lot of time thinking and cooked a few delicate side dishes.  The dilapidated restaurant in the corner here also looks alike.

    The reason why the shopkeeper is so motivating.  It's because a big man wants to have a banquet in Xinghua building today.

    On the second floor of the restaurant, two rows of coated servants are lined up. The tables are filled with delicious dishes, but there are only three chairs.

    On the main seat are the admirals of the Humen Navy, Geliang Tubatulu, and Zhuo Huxing.  He looked to be in his thirties, with a dark face, square mouth and wide eyes, wearing a dark blue military uniform, calm and pretentious.

    "Mr. Zhang made a joke. It's not a coincidence that you came here! You just came back from suppressing the bandits yesterday. Look, you just took off your armor. This feast can only be done. When I go to Guangzhou to report on my work, I will  Please, Mr. Zhang, go to Longquan Restaurant, the best restaurant in Guangzhou, let's have a good meal, Chef Chen Angxing and Chen there are my good friends."

    On the guest seat was a young man in his twenties, with meticulous braids, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eye sockets. Looking from a distance, he had a look of determination that penetrated people's hearts.

    "Lord Zhuo is too polite. How can he afford a letter from Lord Zhuo when he wiped out the white blind man in Xijiang and frightened countless pirates from Guangdong and Guangxi?"

    When the young man greeted him, an old man with black hat and black clothes and gray braids beside him was buried in eating and drinking.  That's really shaking off the cheeks, pulling back the molars, like the wind blowing the clouds and the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, not interested in the conversation between the two people at all.

    There are only these three people at the big wine table.

    ?This young man's name is Zhang Dong, and he is genuine, but his background is not simple.

    Zhang Dong's father is the host of Lezheng Academy, and he himself is the newly appointed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lin Yuanfu's closest aide.

    It's great to mention this Lin Yuanfu. He is also known as Lisou. He is a former scholar of Wenhua Pavilion, a prince Taibao, and has served as the governor of Shanxi and Zhili successively.

    Half a month ago, Lin Yuanfu was ordered by the holy order to bestow Wang Ming's banner Shangfang sword.  Serving as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and controlling all military affairs and people's livelihood in Guangdong and Guangxi, became very popular for a while.

    This time the emperor sent the well-known "Lisou" in the capital for two purposes.

    First, clean up corruption in the military and government, and investigate dereliction of duty and corruption.  Second, wipe out giant Nanyang bandits and maintain Nanyang commercial roads.

    In other words, Lin Yuanfu came this time to destroy both corrupt officials and pirates.

    Zhuo Huxing is also a dignified military officer of the first rank, but a side general, compared with Lin Yuanfu, a first-rank Beijing official, is not known to be much worse.

    And Zhuo Huxing didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him who could get the favor of someone like Lin Yuanfu.

    Humen is known as the first mouth of the Xijiang River and the first gateway to Guangdong, guarded by heavy soldiers.  More layout Zhenyuan.  Fuyuan.  Weiyuan's three major forts, although they haven't fired a cannon in ten years, are huge in scale.  Not to be underestimated.

    After Lin Yuanfu entered Guangdong, he suddenly contracted a serious illness.  So he sent Zhang Dong to go ahead and come to Humen.  The purpose is to inspect the armaments on behalf of Lin Yuanfu.  Organize the defense situation here into a document, and wait for Lin Yuanfu to come, and then forward it to him.

    "Mr. Zhang, don't underestimate yourself. I've heard of your talent and name, haha~" Zhuo Huxing said casually, and then rolled his eyes: "Well, speaking of which, since Mr. Lin is suffering from endemic disease, you have to delay it for a few days.  to come. But I don¡¯t know where he is at this moment?¡±

    Zhang Dong put down the wine glass and hooked the corner of his mouth.

    "Master Lin came here by holy order, so naturally it won't take too long. Maybe Master Zhuo will see Master Lin after we finish this meal."

    Zhang Dong's face was ambiguous, and the poor old man in the black hat glanced indifferently at him, with soup stains on the corners of his lips.

    Zhang Dong noticed the old man's gaze, coughed twice, and changed the subject.  He pointed to the outside of the railing and said:

    "Three rivers converge, and eight mouths enter the sea. Humen is known as the first seaport of the Xijiang River. It is indeed extraordinary. Master Zhuo has a good command of the army, and Humen Haikou. There is really a man in charge of the gate, and there is no way to open it."

    Not far away, a fort was erected on the coast, and the overturned spear-tip flame flags were hunting and dancing, layers of waves washed away the blue stone bricks, and the high tide of the West River water foamed up and rushed onto the gate wall.  A group of dhows approached the shore, guarded by officers and soldiers in hats with the word Soldier on their chests, and they were extremely strict.

    Zhuo Huxing saw the black hatThe man swallowed more than half of the dishes on the table, and was a little unhappy at first, complaining in his heart that Zhang Dong, an old servant, was so rude, but Zhang Dong's words scratched Zhuo Xing's itch.

    He coughed first.

    "It's just the duty, I dare not take credit for it."

    Zhang Dong passed a sentence: "Master Zhuo's martial arts are outstanding, but I don't know if he can deal with those Nanyang bandits?"

    Zhuo Huxing's face was full of seriousness: "The sea area of ??Nanyang is vast, and the folk customs are tough. It is indeed difficult to deal with it, but well, you have to be a slave and guard the country for the Holy One. No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, you dare not make a mistake."

    He sighed and said again:

    "Mr. Zhang, don't blame me for complaining to you. In this capital, there are always people who say that our generals in Guangdong and Guangxi are corrupt and our military equipment is corrupt. As a result, there are bandits on the sea, and there are even more evil spirits.  Are your eyes talking nonsense?"

    "How many thieves can be found in the South Seas of Nuoda? Long voyages are risky, and if there is a shipwreck, is it because of monsters?"

    Zhang Dong took a sip of his wine and said lazily: "I heard that there is a demon thief Zhang He along the coast of Annan. People say that he is the reincarnation of the beast in the sea and has the ability to cross rivers and seas?"

    "Hey, how can Mr. Zhang take this fool's words seriously, but it's nothing to do with false rumors."

    "I also heard that there is a ten-year-old lady in the sea, nicknamed "Auntie", who is full of Gu skills and no grass can grow anywhere. Is this also fake?"

    "It's just a magic stick, a small skill."

    "Well, I also heard that there was a man named Tianbaozai, whose pirates crossed the border like a boiling pot, with tens of thousands of people, hundreds of ships, and hundreds of artillery pieces. Is this also fake?"

    "Tian Baozi?"

    Zhuo Huxing slapped the table and raised his voice an octave.

    "Mr. Zhang doesn't know, today's baby boy is the concubine who hates aunts, just a little boy who eats slippers. What tens of thousands of people, hundreds of cannons, good guy, how many people does my Guangdong Navy have? Hey!"

    Zhuo Huxing patted his chest loudly.

    "There are really so many pirates and so many cannons, why don't you come and bombard me!"

    The sound of the empty restaurant echoed.

    "Come and blast me at Humen~"

    "I am Humen~"

    "The door~"

    The cannons blared!

    Under the viscous night, a terrified long hiss pierced the sky, and the orange fire reflected the profile of everyone in the restaurant flushed.

    On the sea level, the Duk Ling showed a little red tip, and its bulging sails were full of wind. Six red sailboats more than 20 meters long were arranged in the shape of an arrow, galloping on the sea.

    The cannons fired continuously, and the continuous Zhenyuan, Fuyuan, and Weiyuan forts were completely submerged by the red artillery fire within a few shots.

    At the forefront of the duckling fleet, Xue Ba stepped on the bow with his bare feet, the strong wind howled, the corners of the boy's mouth were cracked, and the black tooth holes in the firelight were extremely terrifying.

    The entire Humen Haikou is half sea water and half flame.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
