In the 19th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, Duke Zhenguo Tang He cleaned up the pirates. In order to strengthen the defense and clear the wilderness, he requested a decree from the imperial court. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that, apart from the 547 households and 8,085 people on Zhoushan Island, the rest of the residents living on the 46 islands of Zhoushan be driven inland. From then on, the islands of Zhoushan were abandoned and became bases for pirates and Wokou pirates.
These islands were surrounded by dense reefs, making it difficult for large ships to travel. After more than a hundred years, the few waterways that could be used by large ships were no longer known to the public. From then on, these places became a haven for pirates.
Shuangyu Island was the main camp of the fur seals. The terrain of the island was steep, with two mountains facing each other on the east and west, and a waterway connecting the north and south. There were also small mountains that acted as a barrier, making it a good place for defense. The center of the island was about 20 kilometers wide, making it a good intermediary for trade between the Southeast and the mainland.
To the north was Japan, Korea, and to the south was Yizhou and Malacca. It was the main road between the north and south. When smuggling was at its peak, hundreds of ships passed through here every day, and the fur seals earned a lot of money by collecting taxes.
But since the gathering of Wokou pirates and the large-scale wiping out of the coast, coupled with the Strait of Malacca being occupied by the Western Continent, the number of ships was reduced to just over a hundred, greatly affecting the fur seals' income. When he heard that the imperial court intended to enlist them, he had no choice but to seriously consider it.
Inside the Exquisite Cave, the fur seal frowned and gently rubbed his bald head, deep in thought. A delicate and pretty Korean girl squatted in front of his legs and gently massaged his thighs. Behind him, two Japanese girls with small pillows on their backs massaged his shoulders.
"Second Brother, we're living the life of a free king here. If we really rely on the imperial court and are controlled by them, how can we have a good life? But if we don't agree, it'll be difficult for us now. Nowadays, there are less than a hundred merchant ships that pass by us obediently, right? There aren't many ships that can be robbed on the sea, and these tens of thousands of people can't just sit and eat. "
The old spirit tugged at his beard and muttered, "Master Dog, although the imperial court is forming a navy, first of all, we don't know if they can suppress the Wokou. Moreover, without eight to ten years of effort, their navy won't have the power to seal off the entire coast. If they want to pacify the sea and open the sea to trade, they can forget about it with us here. Is Shuangyu Island that easy to attack? What's more, Grandpa Cat is here to take care of us.
However … if the imperial court is willing to appoint Lord Dog as the Jing Hai Great Governor, I will be stationed here. The sky is high, and the emperor is far away. They can't do anything to us. The troops and horses are our private army. When the time comes, when the coastal defense is opened, we only need to privately lower the tariff compared to the imperial court's. Every day, there will be at least a thousand ships passing through here to avoid the imperial court's docks. Calculating in this way, the profit will be much greater than now. "
"Hahahaha …" The Fur Seal roared with laughter that reverberated throughout the cave. He placed his feet on the young girl's soft chest, and she immediately began to massage his toes meekly.
The Fur Seal smiled and stretched out his hand. A young girl hurriedly brought him a cup of wine. He beamed as he sipped the wine and said, "That's exactly what we're planning. Beauty Wang and Bai Xiaocao have been seeing each other frequently recently. Perhaps they want to join forces and increase the capital to negotiate with the imperial court.
Hehe … he can't compare to us. Beauty Wang's territory is too close to the mainland. As for Bai Xiaocao, as long as the imperial court's navy lands on Penghu or Yizhou, he'll be at a loss. He doesn't have any capital. At that time, they'll be under the imperial court's control, and we'll gradually swallow up their territory. At that time, the Jing Hai Great Governor will be the Jing Hai Great Prince. The imperial court will have to think twice before turning hostile, hahahaha … "
The old spirit muttered, "Lord Dog, then … should we tell Lord Cat that we're meeting with the imperial court's envoy today?"
"Oh …" The Fur Seal scratched his head and shook his head, "We haven't even taken a step yet. Let's not talk about it for now. We'll discuss it with him when we have confirmation."
"Yes, yes, yes." The old spirit agreed. He thought to himself, 'Once we have confirmation, then the credit of leading the way will belong to Lord Dog. That blind cat will then become Lord Dog's subordinate. Lord Dog even wants to swallow up his brother's territory. How sinister.'
Seeing his eyes darting around, the Fur Seal chuckled, "What are you thinking about? Are you envious of this fresh product? " He casually pulled a Japanese girl over and tugged at the silk sash tied around her waist. Beneath the kimono was a fresh, tender, and beautiful body. She wasn't wearing anything else.
The young girl cried out and fell into his arms, panting heavily, allowing him to fondle her full breasts. The Fur Seal laughed lewdly, "Miyazawa Hengzo asked me to borrow some food from him. This is the fresh product that was just delivered. The other one is yours."
The old spirit was also a lecher. He immediately tossed aside his worries when he heard his boss's words and rushed over excitedly to grab the young girl, pressing her down on the soft Persian carpet. He pushed the kimono up and pulled off his pants. Then, he clasped her round and alluring buttocks and gritted his teeth as he began to f * ck her. The cave was immediately filled with sweet moans and cries.
Buddha Crossing Island was the first checkpoint after entering the Twin Isles. He Sigai stood at the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the surrounding terrain. This place was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. His three-masted ship wasn't too big, but he had no choice but to switch to a small flat-bottomed boat when he was about four miles from the island. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pass through the dense reefs above and below the water.
The navy wouldn't be able to force their way through. Even if the navy carried the infantry, it would still be difficult to attack the island. He noticed that there were several cannons set up on the island. These pirates had painstakingly built this base camp for many years. It was obvious that they had invested a lot of capital.
There was Buddha Crossing Island in the northwest, Liuheng Island in the east, and Little Buddha Crossing Island in the south. With such a natural barrier and heavy artillery, how many men would the Ming army have to sacrifice to attack? The main island, Shuangyu, and the other two islands formed a horn. Moreover, it was unknown how strong their defense was. No wonder the Second Gear was opposed to a head-on attack.
He Sigai was originally a pirate of Taihu. In the past, the pirate Yang Qing bribed his subordinates and sank two of his main warships during the battle. Because of this, he suffered a crushing defeat and withdrew from the waters of Taihu. Cheng Qiyun recruited him through Peng Shang. Now he was a qianhu in charge of intelligence in the Liangjiang area.
The boat entered the waters of Shuangyu. The waters here were wide and the waves were less than two feet high. It was easy for the boat to sail. However, the east, south, and west sides of Shuangyu Island were protected by islands. Only the northern passage could be directly entered. However, the northern periphery was also covered with submerged reefs. It was difficult to attack without knowing the secret.
He Sigai secretly noted the situation he observed in his heart. However, his face pretended to be indifferent to the dangerous terrain of Shuangyu Island. The boat touched the ground lightly. Someone took the rope and tied it to the pole. There were two large merchant ships waiting for the pirates to inspect and pay.
"Please, Master He. Our Master Dog is waiting for you at the Linglong Cave." A large man with thick chest hair on his chest cupped his hands and said.
He Sigai smiled and shot ashore. The bow of the boat only sank slightly, but it didn't even shake.
"Oh, so it's an expert on the waterway. Little brother Chen Dong, I have eyes but failed to recognize you."
He Sigai smiled faintly and cupped his hands. "Brother Chen, please lead the way." As he said this, his eyes swept around. He saw that the flat sand road used for docking goods was several miles long. Usually, who knew how many cargo ships from the north and south would load and unload goods here.
At this time, the large ship nearby was carrying silk downwards. It was obvious that it was ready to be picked up by another ship and transported to the south. He Sigai had sold smuggled goods before and knew that this was a profitable business. The textiles of the western countries were far behind Ming Destiny.
The cost of producing the same textile was three times that of Ming Destiny. Moreover, the quality was incomparable. Therefore, even though the methods of raising silkworms, mulberry trees, and silk production had long been bought by the westerners with huge sums of money by the Han people, they still couldn't live without Eastern silk.
When He Sigai entered the natural hall of the Ling Long Cave, the fur seal and the old goblin were already sitting there neatly dressed. As soon as he saw He Sigai, the old goblin stood up and greeted him with a chuckle. "Master He, welcome, welcome. This is our Lord Dog."
Two rows of sixteen burly men with steel blades in their hands stood ramrod straight. The torches in their hands shone upon Fur Seal's bald head. He sat on a large chair covered in animal skin, one hand holding his foot as he arrogantly looked down at He Sigai from head to toe.
He Sigai chuckled and took two steps forward. He cupped his hands and said, "Lord Dog, it's an honor to meet you."
He Sigai spoke the dialect of Huaiyang. The fur seal was stunned and asked curiously, "You're from Huaiyang?"
He Sigai smiled modestly. "That's right. I'm from Yangzhou's Changfu Alley."
"Oh, hehehe, you're from there too. So you're from the same hometown. Hahaha, please take a seat." The fur seal had left home at a young age. Now that he heard the accent of his hometown, he immediately changed his demeanor.
He Sigai wasn't from Yangzhou, but he knew the dialect there. Cheng Qiyun had inquired about the fur seal's background and learned that he had some affection for his hometown. In the past, when his influence was weak and he couldn't stay at sea due to the other pirates, he never went to the Yangzhou area even when he went ashore to rob. Therefore, she instructed He Sigai to pretend to be from the same hometown as him in order to get closer.
He Sigai also put on a happy expression as if he was surprised to see a fellow from the same hometown. The two put aside their official business and began to chat about the customs of their hometown. Only when they got to the happy part did He Sigai gradually lead them to the purpose of his visit.
When the fur seal heard that the Ming navy had used three warships to defeat the Wokou pirates' eleven warships, his expression immediately became serious. He had never thought much of the Wokou pirates' battle prowess at sea, but he was even more clear about the Ming navy's battle prowess. Today, the Ming navy had used three warships to defeat eleven warships, and only two of the enemy's ships had escaped. This proved that the Ming navy's battle prowess had indeed increased by a shocking amount.
He exchanged a look with the old fox and took his feet off the chair. He probed, "Old He ah, then tell me, how much sincerity does the imperial court have towards us? I'm used to doing whatever I want, so if you want me to help cut off the Wokou people's retreat... that's easy to discuss. However, I'm not used to being an official on land. Will the imperial court allow me, the governor of the navy, to station troops at sea?
You have to know... I have over thirty thousand men under my command, and I don't even have five fingers. How can all of them trust the imperial court? Besides, my sworn brother, the snow cat, isn't that easy to talk to. That old fellow is even more paranoid than I am. "
"Hahaha, Lord Dog, don't worry. Lord Cat has already talked... uh... I'm also preparing to go talk."
"Hmm?" The fur seal abruptly sat up and glared fiercely at He Sigai.
He Sigai had a flustered expression on his face as he laughed dryly, "This... this Lord Dog, don't worry. As long as the imperial court's conditions are acceptable, Beauty Wang and Xiaocao will definitely agree. As long as Lord Dog agrees, do you think the snow cat can overturn the heavens with one hand? Hehehe, that's why I dare to pat my chest in front of you. "
"Heh heh heh heh …" Fur Seal waved his hand to stop the old fox from interrupting. He put on a harmless smile and said, "This … That's true. Hahaha, Snowy Kitty and I have always advanced and retreated together. Since I've agreed, how could he not agree? However, my conditions... what does Lord He think? "
As he asked, he stared closely at He Sigai's expression and secretly calculated, 'It's not surprising that Beauty Wang and Xiaocao accepted the offer of amnesty, but did that bastard the snow cat also contact the imperial court behind my back?
Dammit, husband and wife are birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately, let alone kowtowing brothers. If the south side of Shuangyu is blocked by Xiaocao, the east side is blocked by the snow cat, and the west side is blocked by Beauty Wang, it's still possible for the navy to only block the north side. Then wouldn't I, the fur seal, be trapped like a dead dog? "
The fur seal naturally didn't completely believe He Sigai's words. After so many years of scheming and deceiving, he still knew how to mislead the enemy. However, because he had experienced too many plots and schemes, he didn't dare to trust the snow cat too much. He Sigai's unintentional words still left a shadow in his heart.
He Sigai frowned and said, "Lord Dog, you have tens of thousands of troops. Logically speaking, it's not too much to ask for the title of governor. However, stationing troops overseas and ruling over the forty-six islands of the East Sea is something I don't dare to casually agree to.
The current governor of the six provinces and the imperial envoy to suppress the Japanese, Sir Yang, is the emperor's most favored and trusted aide. You know this, right? As long as he agrees, there's a seventy percent chance of success. Since Lord Dog has this intention, then there's still room for discussion. I'll have to report this to the lord first. "
He Sigai's refusal to casually agree actually made the fur seal believe him even more. He stood up with a smile and scratched his bald head with the hand that had just rubbed his feet. He laughed and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then I won't keep you any longer. I'll send someone to send you back. Uh … Old Fox, go get ten big yellow croakers for my fellow townsman. Also, there's a bag of gifts and a foreign beauty. I'll ask you to deliver them to Governor Yang. Ah? Hahaha … "
He Sigai pretended to decline and then agreed. Seeing that the envoy sent by the imperial court was also greedy, the fur seal immediately relaxed a bit. He sent He Sigai to the entrance of the cave with a face full of smiles and watched the old fox leave with him. Only then did the smile on his face disappear.
He stood at the entrance of the cave with his hands behind his back. The mountain breeze caused his purplish black silk clothes to flutter loudly. His eyes were cold as he gazed at his kingdom. After a long, long time, he finally squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Snowcat …"
"Fur Seal …" The fur seal's sworn brother, Snowcat, stood on top of a mountain peak and was also looking in the direction of Shuangyu Island. He gritted his teeth and snorted. The island was like a giant tortoise with its head poking out, its form vivid and lifelike. Snowcat was standing on a giant rock that the giant tortoise had protruded out of midair.
Snowcat's appearance was ordinary and his body was small and thin, but his movements were nimble and agile. His skin seemed to be suffering from some kind of disease. Apart from the occasional bright red flesh-colored patch, the rest of his body was snow-white.
After a while, he turned his head slightly and asked, "Are you sure? Did the people from the imperial court really meet Lord Dog? "
"Yes! Today, Chen Dong sent everyone else away, leaving only his confidant to guard the dock. This lowly one found it strange, so I crouched behind the cliff rock and watched carefully. There's a Huo Ah Si who owes me a huge debt from gambling. He's the one who's responsible for ferrying the imperial court official with the surname He over. I managed to trick him into talking, and before Lord Dog left, I even gifted him a western beauty that I bought with a lot of money. "
Snowcat's pale face turned a little sinister, "Motherf * cker, it's fine if they didn't tell me when they first met, but this precious gift has already been delivered for three days, and they still didn't send anyone to inform me. What kind of tricks is Lord Dog playing? Could it be that he's playing games with me? "
Snowcat rolled his eyes and said, "Go back immediately. Don't let the cat out of the bag. Keep an eye on his every move!"
Then he ordered another subordinate, "Tell our people not to go out to sea and stir up trouble. Don't Hu Laoqi and Cao Tianchong have a good personal relationship? Old Cao has just joined Beauty Wang, so he must know a little about the situation on both sides. Send Hu Laoqi over to find out what's going on. Damn it, father can't just stay here like an idiot and end up being sold and counting money for him. "
"Yes!"
* * *
The shade of the trees was deep and green. Yang Ling was wearing only light clothes and sat opposite Cheng Qiyun under the tree. Cheng Qiyun had a graceful figure and wore a lake green, narrow-sleeved top with a peacock blue pointed collar. The sleeves were short and covered her shoulders, and the hem only reached her breasts and waist. The two lapels of the top were buttoned with a small golden butterfly embroidered on her chest, wrapping around a pair of beautiful breasts that rose and fell delicately.
In this private backyard, she didn't care too much about her appearance, so she crossed her legs and rested her hands on her knees, gently swinging her toes as she looked at the chessboard. The purple sash around her waist revealed a very attractive and slender curve. Her waist was narrow and thin, but it didn't lose the sense of flesh. The tight skirt revealed the attractive curve of her buttocks.
She picked up a chess piece with two fingers and pushed it forward. She said with a smile, "Checkmate! Sir, you've lost again! "
The shadows of the trees swayed, and the light and shadows sprinkled on her graceful and delicate body. The more one looked at her, the more beautiful she became. Even the smallest parts of her fingers could be seen, and the whole thing was indescribably pleasing to the eye.
"Oh? Oh, Qiyun's chess skills are outstanding, and it's not enough to make me an army. Haha, concede, concede. "Yang Ling pushed the board to concede.
Cheng Qiyun smiled, a faint dimple at the corner of her mouth. While her smile was slightly teasing, it was still full of charm. "Sir's mind is elsewhere. Is it because you've been in Jiangnan for too long and are thinking about the matters of Guangdong and Sichuan, or is it because you are thinking about Young-niang and Lian 'er?"
"Hm? A bit of both, haha, it's already May, ah! How can you not think about it? "Yang Ling said with a slight furrow of his brow.
Cheng Qiyun picked up the chess pieces one by one and said, "Not necessarily? Sir has been forcing yourself to be happy these days, but actually … … I understand. You are not worried about Guangdong and Sichuan. Young-niang and Lian 'er have someone to take care of them. While you miss them, you are not worried.
What Sir is worried about is the soldiers you've sent out from other provinces and the one thousand troops you've personally trained. If they fail again, Sir will be forced into a passive state. All of your previous efforts will be wasted. Sir is worried about this, is that right? "
Yang Ling stared at her for a while and then suddenly closed his eyes. He tiredly said, "Only you know my heart … … Qiyun, if we lose again this time, even I don't know what to do? These days, I appear calm and composed in front of others, but my heart feels like it's been weighed down by a large rock.
My head has been hurting constantly. If these soldiers cannot be successfully released, and they can blossom everywhere and change the declining state of my army, I … … I've used up the funds of the court. Facing the mess of the six coastal provinces, I'm afraid I can only die … … "
"In this life, Qiyun has met Sir and followed Sir. I have no more worries. If Sir really wants to die for the country, Qiyun is willing to accompany Sir in dying, and I will have no regrets in this life."
Yang Ling suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Qiyun who was still picking up the chess pieces. Hearing her lightly recite the oath, his expression changed. "Qiyun … …"
"However … … it's better not to die if you can. Sir does not need to worry so much. If the war really goes badly, there will be people in the army who will impeach you, and there will be people in the court who will accuse you. There will naturally be a scapegoat who will take this knife for Sir. "
Her bright eyes looked at Yang Ling and she said deeply, "You can call me despicable or shameless. In short, I'm telling you now because I've already arranged everything. Even if you kill me now, they will still follow my orders to prepare. "
Her voice was soft and gentle, indescribably moving. However, the meaning she expressed was filled with ruthlessness and bloodthirstiness. "I originally should go to hell. Let me be the evil person. Sir, for the country and the people, your thoughts and concerns cannot be given up halfway! "
She picked up the "horse" that Yang Ling had tried his best to protect and that had caused the general to lose. She lightly knocked on it and said, "When it's time to give up, you have to give up! Including me! "
Yang Ling was stunned by her words. She had no regrets about going to death and her cold and bloody attitude towards officialdom. He was both moved and felt that this kind of behavior was too contradictory to his own conscience. He stared at her in a daze. Yang Ling's mind raced. He could not say anything to reprimand or dissuade her.
At this moment, someone shouted loudly, "Reporting ~ ~ Reporting to Governor Daren. There has been a great victory in the southeast. The Lu, Sichuan and Wolf armies have defeated four groups of pirates and are now sweeping towards Shanghai! News has come from Jiangsu and Shandong. The thousand-man battle teams have won more than they lost. The pirates have been defeated one after another. Our army's morale has greatly increased … "
Yang Ling stood up immediately. His voice trembled with excitement as he said in disbelief, "It's a success! As long as we win a few battles, the original soldiers will regain their courage. This lifeless army will be reborn and the offensive and defensive situation will change immediately … "
Cheng Qiyun glanced at him with hidden bitterness and curtsied gracefully, "Congratulations sir, congratulations. This way, Qiyun does not need to think of ways to harm others. Otherwise, sir will always look at me like I'm a snake or scorpion."
Yang Ling was in a good mood and did not pay attention to her angry and resentful tone. He said excitedly, "Wait for me to go ahead and understand the details." As he spoke, he turned and hurried away.
Yang Ling carefully understood the battle reports from all over the country. Under the leadership of the thousand-man guards that he had distributed to the various provinces, the Ming army had won many battles and forced the Wokou pirates to gather their troops to protect themselves. However, these Wokou pirates had their own leaders and were only temporarily gathered due to the circumstances. There was no way for them to form a unified command. Under the attacks of the Ming army whose morale was gradually recovering, the Ming army had gradually changed from being on the defensive to being on the offensive and defensive.
The Ming army had the advantage in military strength and also had the advantage in terms of geography and manpower. This kind of stalemate would, after a short period of balance, change from quantitative to qualitative and become a one-sided battlefield advantage for the Ming army.
Yang Ling listened excitedly to the report and hurriedly passed on the latest orders with the overjoyed Bai Zhongzan and the others. He then excitedly rushed back to Cheng Qiyun's room and said, "Qiyun, I will tell you the details. Write an eloquent memorial. The Emperor has probably been worried sick these days in the capital."
Cheng Qiyun waved her hand. A man in blue scholarly robes bowed respectfully to Yang Ling and quietly retreated.
Cheng Qiyun stood and said, "This lowly officer was thinking the same thing. Of the nine major towns in the north, Liaodong, Yansui, Xuanfu, and Datong have the most soldiers stationed there, and daren's troops are in these four towns. Right now, all of the guard posts in the six provinces in the southeast have daren's personal guards as the main army. After this battle, the promotions and titles of nobility in the six provinces will all be due to daren. One's glory, one's loss, all of them will inevitably stand on daren's side. When this memorial is sent back to the capital, it will win the Emperor's favor. At that time, we will be awe-inspiring. Who in court will dare to challenge our might? "
Yang Ling was startled and the excited expression on his face faded. After a moment of thought, he said, "Right now, the Wokou have suffered repeated setbacks and are using the mountainous and mountainous terrain in the south to move towards Fujian. Just say that I am gathering a large army to gradually pursue them south in order to annihilate the enemy and the southeast corner. Lower the tone a bit and don't mention the words of victory. "
Cheng Qiyun suppressed a smile and said, "Daren only wants to earn money and doesn't want to earn a shout? Hee hee, this lowly officer obeys! "
Yang Ling rolled his eyes and snorted in annoyance, "What scapegoat are you trying to find for me? I haven't even settled the debt with you. As an aide, admonishing your superior is clearly your duty. Yet, you insist on saying the opposite. How hateful!"
Cheng Qiyun didn't mind his reprimand and only smiled, "Daren understands, that's why I said that. If it were another fool, I wouldn't even be bothered to say it to him! Heh heh, daren, that fur seal seems to have the intention to negotiate. His appetite is just as I expected. On the surface, he's offering amnesty, but he's secretly harboring evil intentions. However, since he's greedy, it's hard to avoid being taken advantage of by me. I think it won't be long before this cat and dog are finished! "
She rolled her eyes and said, "This pirate who dreams of becoming the governor of the sea is very filial to daren. Not only did he send over a pile of gold, pearls, and jade, he also sent over a stunning beauty from a foreign country. I've already ordered someone to send her to daren's room …"
Yang Ling was shocked, "What? What the hell are you doing? How could I be … be … "
Cheng Qiyun said disapprovingly, "How could you be a lecher? There are many cases of people in the officialdom playing games to relieve boredom. Daren Bai is nearly fifty years old and has the appearance of an upright gentleman. The war situation is so tense, but doesn't he still make a trip to the Red Leaning Brothel every other night? "
As she spoke, she blushed and glanced at Yang Ling, saying, "Daren left the capital alone and has always kept himself clean. If it weren't for … if it weren't for the fact that you often come to this humble officer's place, you would've long been suspected of having an unmentionable disease."
She lowered her head and said in an aggrieved tone, "It's just that … I've wronged others for nothing. I really can't accept it …"
"If the two of you really did have an affair, would you not say 'wronged others for nothing'?"
Yang Ling's heart jumped at her warm tone and submissive expression. He clearly knew that she was intentionally teasing him, but he didn't dare to point it out. He stamped his feet and said, "You, you, if you let that woman stay in my room for a moment longer, even if I don't eat fish, I'll still be covered in fish. Cough!"
Cheng Qiyun obediently lowered her head. She waited until he opened the door and left before she raised her head and smiled craftily, like a proud little fox.
Yang Ling finished speaking and hurried to his room. His courtyard and Cheng Qiyun's were separated by a flower pond, and it was just through two moon gates. As soon as Yang Ling entered the room, the two serving maids hurriedly curtsied and retreated. It was obvious that they had received Cheng Qiyun's orders.
Yang Ling didn't have time to pay attention to them and hurriedly rushed back into the inner room. Jiangnan was originally luxurious, and his residence was made of silk curtains and mats. It was even more precious, luxurious, and yet not tacky at all.
A beautiful woman in fine clothes was examining the jade ornaments on the bed curtains in the room. She suddenly heard footsteps and hurriedly turned around. Yang Ling looked and saw that this beautiful Hu woman had a head of black hair, wheat colored smooth skin, and a pair of charming eyes.
She was wearing the clothes that women from the Central Plains wore in their inner chambers. She wore a gauze button-down, narrow-sleeved blouse and a long skirt that trailed the floor. Inside the gauze blouse that was as thin as a cicada's wings, a tight-fitting belt wrapped around her plump breasts. Her seductive cleavage was deeply sunken, outlining the soul-stirring and hot curves that made people blush.
Although this woman came from the hands of pirates, she was a national beauty. Her deep eyes, high nose, sexy and plump lips had a unique exotic charm. In the eyes of Yang Ling, who was familiar with the appearance of foreigners, there was no awkwardness in his eyes. Her sweet charm increased her attractiveness.
Eh? She looked a bit like that Spanish beauty Penelope, and what was even rarer was that her skin was better than hers. Yang Ling's anger somewhat subsided. He looked her up and down and said in surprise, "Do you understand Chinese? Are you from Frang Ji? "
The beautiful woman opened her eyes wide and said happily, "You … Sir, you know Frang Ji?"
I was kidnapped by pirates. It's been three years. Two days ago, I was just sold to a hairless and fierce Eastern man. Oh my god, I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect to come to this heaven-like place. I heard from that beautiful lady that you are a noble Sir. Adeni is very happy to be your servant! "
