Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth: no wind, no waves

Chapter 756: No wind can rise

On the vast ocean of blue waves, the sea boats were floating like duckweed under the scorching sun.

Zhang Qi's sail was blowing up with the wind, and a navy captain rushed to the cabin to the right. This place was Chen Ao's 's study'. The captain called out softly outside, and Chen Ao's voice came from inside: "Come in."

The captain pushed the door and said, "Your Highness, you have arrived in the waters of Xinghua Army and will arrive in Quanzhou early tomorrow morning."

Chen Ao smiled faintly, sat behind the desk in the cabin, holding a quick report in his hand, and said, "I understand."

The captain stepped out carefully.

The oil lamp was lit in the cabin, trembling slightly, and even the glass lampshade could not help but flash, making people dizzy. However, this was on the boat, and there was no need to pay so much attention. Chen Ao read the express in his hand again, and his knuckles unconsciously tapped the desk gently like Zhao Ji.

In Quanzhou, the merchants of the Great Food have been dealt with, but Wu Wencai has arbitrarily advocated and identified the Great Food people. He drove away what should be driven away, and kept what he was willing to stay. Chen Ao did not blame Wu Wencai. He was really secret and wanted to cut the mess quickly. He actually forgot this. It was thanks to Wu Wencai's own decision, otherwise he would have regretted his actions. Meng Lang.

Chen Ao couldn't help but smile, and he was eager to fly to Quanzhou immediately.

What is Quanzhou now?

By the early morning of the next day, when Chen Ao landed on the shore, the dawn had not yet appeared, and the gray sky was full of haze. Chen Ao went up the pier, and he could not break through the heavy mist within his eyes. Although April in Quanzhou was hot, it was very cold in the morning, so when Zhao Ziheng got off the boat, he couldn't help but curl up his hands and spit out white mist.

Chen Ao was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he didn't care about greetings from those who came to greet him, so he got on the carriage and headed to the Haizheng Yamen.

"Your Highness, the envoys of the vassal states of various countries have arrived. There is still half a month left for the exhibition of the 10,000 countries. Should you go to meet the envoys of the vassal states one by one?"

Those who can sit in this hall are the core figures in Quanzhou, including Wu Wencai, the Navy Commander Yang Guo, and Quanzhou Prefect Ma Yinglong. When these people saw Chen Aolai, they were as if they had a backbone.

The person who spoke was Wu Wencai. Chen Ao looked at him, took a sip of Wuyi tea, and said with a smile: "No need for this. I have no time to see them. This exhibition of the world is to show virtue and let them know the richness of the Song Dynasty, and the other is to show their power. The countries in Southeast Asia will inevitably have snakes and rats at both ends. On the one hand, they please our Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, they are afraid of offending the food. Now we want the governors of various countries to ban trade with the cannibals. Will the countries be willing? Since this is the case, let them know the power of the Song Dynasty and tell them that obedient children have milk to eat, and those who are disobedient will give them some color."

Chen Ao's words still meant, which made Yang Guo's mood stir. The Nanyang Navy practiced day and night, but never touched his muscles. Occasionally, he would report that the size of a fly was the size of a piece of meat. Now, when he heard the King Pingxi's intention that he was going to make a big move, he said excitedly: "After your order, the Nanyang Navy will be happy to obey the order."

The word "Xinran" made Chen Ao drink the tea and almost spit out a sip. He had to smile bitterly: "It's just a saying. As long as you are willing to be obedient, why do you have to make a big fight? Yang Guo, sit down and don't go to see people as if everyone in the world deserves a beating. It's not good to develop this habit."

Yang Guo sat down embarrassedly and said, "But there are some rumors in Quanzhou recently. I wonder if Your Highness has heard of it?"

Chen Ao nodded, raised his legs and said, "Don't keep it a secret."

Yang Jiao said: "It is said that many remnants of the Tianyi Sect lurk in Quanzhou are recruiting people in large numbers, saying that they are going to assassinate the vassal kings and envoys of various countries. This news has been recently reported and is being checked. However, for caution, should we mobilize several battalions of troops from the navy to protect the vassal kings and envoys at any time?"

Ma Yinglong said: "The officials have also heard of this matter. They can only believe that they have it, not that they have it. In fact, last night, a servant did arrest a few suspicious people. After careful interrogation, they realized that they were indeed from the Tianyi Sect. They just heard that they were asked to prepare weapons and take their lives at any time. As for who was planning behind the scenes, it is unknown how many people there are in the Tianyi Sect."

Chen Ao couldn't help but frown. It was indeed a matter of concern to appear in the Tianyi Sect at this time. After all, the Tianyi Sect was once a rebel, and now they have found their traces. And they are still in Quanzhou, where the upcoming storm is coming, and they must not be underestimated. Once a vassal envoy died in Quanzhou, it would be a very serious matter. The exhibition of the Wanguo immediately made the Song Dynasty a laughing stock for all countries in Southeast Asia.

Chen Ao's tone was cold and said, "A few battalions are not enough, and the navy from a few battalions will be transferred into the city. Whether it is the new city or the old city, I will dig three feet of land for me. Follow the map to find the horses. The safety of the vassal kings and envoys must be guaranteed. This is the top priority."

Yang Guo responded.

Seeing the heavy atmosphere in the hall, Chen Ao smiled: "There is no need to be stern. It's just a small mosquito, it won't be a big deal. Flies are only staring at seamless eggs. As long as we are not airtight, we naturally don't have to be afraid." He shook his legs and continued: "I want to see the scenery of Quanzhou, but unfortunately the fog was too heavy when I got ashore. If I had the chance, Magistrate Ma would take me to take a walk around."

Ma Yinglong immediately said, "When will the prince want to leave? Just tell the emperor with a word."

Ma Yinglong has now become Chen Ao's gangster in a confused manner. It's strange that Ma Yinglong is not a versatile person, but at this time he was devoted to Chen Ao.

Chen Ao smiled and stood up, saying, "But it is really suspicious that the Tianyi Sect appeared at this time. What are they doing to assassinate the vassal kings? It's just a joke for all the people in the world to see this king?"

Wu Wencai said: "Can the drunkard not drink, but the real purpose is Your Highness?"

Chen Ao walked slowly in the hall, flexing his muscles and said, "It shouldn't be true. I have many guards around me. With these clowns, they dare to attack me? Don't think about it, go back to act in official business. I am tired and want to take a break, but... Lord Wu, go and say hello to the envoys of the vassal kings and ask them to submit a memorial immediately and ask me to come to Quanzhou..." Chen Ao gave orders, while telling Zhao Ji's idea in detail, and finally said, "Your Majesty wants to come out for a walk, it's not a fatal matter, it's good if you come."

When the three of them were sent away, a captain immediately appeared quietly in front of Shen Ao and whispered: "Someone in the Jinyiwei wants to see Your Highness."

Chen Ao sat on the chair, was silent for a moment, and said, "Call him in."

After a moment, a man who looked like a merchant quickly stepped into the hall, yelled deeply at Chen Ao, and said, "Your Highness."

Chen Ao looked at the man. He looked very ordinary. He looked like a businessman. He always had a sign-like smile on his face. Every move was full of philosophical aura. Chen Ao nodded to him and said slowly: "When did you come?"

The person who came said, "He arrived half a month ago. According to Mr. Chen's instructions, he had already planted all people in all walks of life. I heard that Your Highness has arrived in Quanzhou, so I came to say hello first. If your Highness has something useful, you can contact the villain."

Chen Ao thought to himself, why did this make it look like a spy joint, and couldn't help but smile: "I happened to ask you something about it. There was a remnant of the Tianyi Sect in Quanzhou. Have you found out the news?"

After the Jinyiwei trained from Guojiazhuang arrived in Quanzhou, they immediately placed them everywhere, with many eyes and ears. It was much easier to ask them to inquire about the news than the official. The man immediately said: "I have heard of it for a long time. The villain has been focusing on investigating this matter, but..."

Chen Ao said: "But it's okay to say it."

After hearing Chen Ao's encouragement, the Jinyiwei said endlessly: "But always feel that things are a bit strange. The number of people in Yi Cult these days should not be large. Judging from the summary of news from all aspects, there are only 300 people at most. Moreover, these people seem to be not strict, and they even deliberately want to release the news of assassination. In order to find out more news, the villain specially arranged a few people to follow a leader. This person usually does nothing, but just wanders around the streets, which is more like a rogue."

Chen Ao grinned his eyebrows. After all, he felt something was wrong. After all, he was an ancestor who was playing conspiracy and tricks. He thought to himself: "Are these people not the real Tianyi Sect? They just acted under the sign of the Tianyi Sect? This is strange. Since it is not a rebellion, why did the news of the assassination of the vassal kings suddenly be released?" He continued: "If the news is released, then the whole city of Quanzhou will inevitably be nervous. The power in the city is naturally mainly matched with the protection. Is it because someone wants to attack the east and west?"

Chen Ao said: "There is only this news?"

"There are only so many, but your highness wants to know more, so the villain will step up his inquiries."

Chen Aohe nodded and said, "Let all other things besides for the time being, concentrate on inquiring about this news, see who is contacting this group of thieves, and pay attention to some suspicious people and things in Quanzhou City."

Jinyiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "There is one thing that is very strange. In Quanzhou, there is a very mysterious business called Xingyue Business Company. This business is not small in scale, but it is very strange. It seems that it never deals with people. Moreover, the people hired Yue people. The storefront of the business is in Yonglefang. The villain originally thought that such a large business company could be placed in, but who knew that they would not recruit any personnel at all."

Chen Ao said: "Is there such a strange thing? I should also keep an eye on this matter. We should carefully check whether Tianyi Sect has contact with the Xingyue Trading Company. We should inform you immediately if there is any news."
