A Clash of Gods - Chapter 986

[Chapter 976 Airborne]

When Qi Ning saw Xin Ci for the first time, he knew that Xin Ci must have been a brave warrior back then.

(fastest update)

Xin Ci has a dark complexion and a sturdy body. From his appearance, it is difficult to even guess how old he is. Fortunately, Shen Liangqiu had already introduced Xin Ci a little before he entered the tent. Although this man looks strong and powerful, it will be two years later. Years, it is already half a hundred years old, perhaps because of the long-term exercise, this General Xin is not old at all, his muscles are strong, his skin is tight, and there is no sign of slack, which makes people feel a kind of strong at first glance. sense of power.

Tantai Huang, the Marquis of the Golden Sword, has been away from the East China Sea Navy for many years, and Xin Ci also returned to Beijing with him. the legend.

The old marquis of the golden knife led his troops to fight in the south and the north, and he had many generals under his command. In the early years, Xin Ci was still young, but he had already made a lot of contributions under the old marquis. In the war against pirates in the East China Sea.

The main purpose of Tantai Huang’s initial construction of the navy was to clear out the remaining members of the Han clan in the East China Sea. Although the king of the East China Sea surrendered himself, the surviving Han clan members and many of their henchmen went to sea to cause disaster, seriously threatening the East China Sea. security.

Tantai Huang’s army is dominated by the army, and there are not many people who understand the water army. It is not easy to change his mind. Tantai Huang specially organized a group of generals to learn water warfare, and Xin Ci stood out from them. In the next battle to pacify the East China Sea, he repeatedly made military exploits and became the leader of the naval generals, while Tantai Huang was rewarded and punished clearly.

Qi Ning heard Shen Liangqiu’s brief introduction and had a general understanding of Xin Ci.

When the two entered the tent, Xin Ci was standing in front of the case watching the chart, and when he heard footsteps, he looked up and recognized Qi Ning at a glance.

Qi Ning said with a smile: “General Xin is tired of saddling the horse, it’s been hard work all the way. ()” In his heart, he suddenly thought, at this time, the court sent Xin Ci to the East China Sea, what was the intention?

Could it be that after Tantai Huang fought for it, Xin Ci came to take over Tantai Zhilin’s position?

Xin Ci is Tantai Huang’s confidant and he is naturally loyal to Tantai Huang, and this person has extraordinary ability in commanding the navy. In terms of prestige, this person was also a legendary figure in the East China Sea Navy. In the hearts of the East Sea soldiers and soldiers, their prestige may not be weaker than that of Shen Liangqiu.

“General Xin!” Although Shen Liangqiu was the current deputy general of the East China Sea Division, he still respected this senior and bowed his hands in salute.

Xin Ci grinned and said, “Liang Qiu, we haven’t seen each other for a few years, how have you been?”

Both Shen Liangqiu and Xin Ci belonged to the Tantai family of the Golden Sabre, and they had a close relationship with the Tantai family. It was a matter of course that they were both from the East Sea Master and knew each other well.

“Everything is fine.” Shen Liangqiu said, “I don’t know the old marquis?”

Xin Ci frowned, his expression darkened, and said, “The old marquis is naturally sad when the governor passes away.” He didn’t say much, and said directly: “I have been ordered by the old marquis to come to deal with the grand governor’s back. The matter, I have been to the Governor’s Mansion before, the Governor and the young lady have already been buried, Liang Qiu, what are you going to do with the Governor’s funeral?”

Shen Liangqiu looked solemn and said, “General Xin, when the young lady passed away, there was a suicide note, I don’t know?”

“General Manager Hou has already given it to me to see.” Xin Ci sighed, “It’s rare that the young lady has a deep love for the governor, so naturally his husband and wife will be buried together.”

“The Governor had something to say before his death, saying that it would be true one day!” Shen Liangqiu paused for a while before continuing, “He hopes to stay in the East China Sea, and the remains will never be left behind.”

Xin Ci nodded slightly and said nothing.

It was only at this time that Qi Ning asked, “General Xin, what do you mean by Old Hou Ye?”

Xinci smiled bitterly and said, “The old marquis has been in a sad mood these past few days, and he doesn’t even say much, and he is wholeheartedly waiting for the news from you.

The investigation results were reported to the past. After investigation by the lords of the Ministry of Punishment, it was proved that the Governor did indeed die by suicide. After the old man learned about it, he was even more saddened. .

“Raising his hand, he said,” Lord Hou, please take a seat!

”

After all, he came from the East Sea Division. Although he had not been here for many years, once he entered the barracks, it was like returning home, and he seemed very calm and familiar.

After Qi Ning was seated, Xin Cicai said, “I came here this time to bring the coffins of the governor and the young lady back to Jiangxia and bury them in their hometown, but the old marquis also instructed that the governor’s funeral is still to be done. Discuss with Liang Qiu. After all, Donghai is also the second hometown of the Tantai family. You have a very good personal relationship with Dadudu, and you can understand Dadudu’s mind. Dadudu committed suicide and passed away. Maybe there are some instructions for you in advance, people. Since we are gone, if the Governor has a last order, we will follow the meaning of the Governor.”

Shen Liangqiu nodded slightly and said, “General Xin, if the old marquis intends to transport the governor back to Jiangxia, we will naturally follow the instructions of the old marquis, the fallen leaves will return to their roots, and the governor will follow the old marquis when he is young. Grandpa left his hometown to fight in the South and the North, and now that he is gone, being able to return to his hometown is naturally a good result.” After a short pause, he continued: “The Governor’s own wish is to stay in the East China Sea and pass away. Afterwards, the sea burial is also the meaning of the young lady’s suicide note.”

Xin Ci sighed and said, “I can understand the intentions of the Governor. We people, who are in the company of the sea all the year round, the blood in our bones is inseparable from the sea, and what flows in our veins is actually sea water.” : “Not to mention the Governor, it is my blessing, and I also thought of being buried in the sea after death.” Finally, he said to Shen Liangqiu: “If the Governor really has this desire, let’s do it according to the meaning of the Governor. .”

Shen Liangqiu opened his mouth and hesitated, Xin Ci said, “If you have something to say, it’s okay to say it.”

“General Xin, after the death of the governor, the old marquis has never seen the governor. If it is to be buried here at sea, will it be!”

Xin Ci nodded and said, “If you have this concern, it is considered that you have done your best. In fact, when I came, I also mentioned it to the old marquis. After all, the governor has not returned to Beijing for several years, and the old marquis has not been seen for many years. He, it’s a goodbye now!” He shook his head: “Although the old man didn’t say anything, I also understand his old man’s heart. Since it’s a goodbye, if we meet again, it will be even more sad. Lord Hou is also not in good health and cannot travel long distances, so we should do our best to arrange the funeral.”

Shen Liangqiu had a solemn expression and nodded slightly.

Xin Ci said again: “The emperor has given a decree, in order to commend the great governor’s exploits, to posthumously seal the great governor as the Marquis of Jinghai, but the news of the young lady’s death has not been reported to the court, and the emperor should have given him the seal.” He paused for a while. , finally asked: “Liang Qiu, you said in the report that most of the reasons for the suicide of the governor were because of the black tiger shark?”

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said, “General Xin, you should have heard a little about what the Black Tiger Shark has done in the past two years. The great commander-in-chief has been humiliated by the Black Tiger Shark several times in his life, he!” He did not continue.

Xin Ci said with a wry smile: “The young commander of the Great Governor is a proud man. He is a man of great face. He has been humiliated by the mere pirates several times. It is really unbearable.”

Shen Liangqiu cupped his hands and said, “I have brought back the head of the black tiger shark.”

“First class?” Xin Ci was startled.

Shen Liangqiu’s operation was very secretive, and there were only a handful of people in the army who knew about it, even the soldiers who participated in this operation. Don’t know anything about it.

“Thanks to Lord Marquis this time, we found out the whereabouts of the black tiger shark, so we secretly carried out the capture operation.” Shen Liangqiu said: “Thanks to the Lord Marquis, this operation was very smooth, and the black tiger shark was eliminated. It also solved a major problem in the sea and frontier.”

Xin Ci smiled at Qi Ning: “Master Hou is on his trip to the East China Sea and commanded to get rid of the black tiger shark. It’s really gratifying to congratulate him.”

Qi Ning waved his hand and said with a smile: “General Xin, don’t listen to General Shen’s words, he is a humble word. I can make it clear that this operation was planned by General Shen from beginning to end. Even when the black tiger shark was captured, General Shen himself went into battle.”

Xin Ci said with a little emotion: “Liang Qiu was able to get rid of the black tiger shark with his own hands, which can be regarded as avenging the Dadu, and the Dadu is relieved to know it.” He asked again: “Liang Qiu, when are you going to let it go? The Governor is buried?”

“I’ve been waiting for the instructions of the old marquis.” Shen Liangqiu said: “Since the old marquis asked General Xin to come, let’s see a suitable day, let the great governor be buried as soon as possible, and things will be settled here. General Xin can also return to Beijing as soon as possible to return to the old marquis.”

“That’s not in a hurry.” Xin Ci shook his head and said, “If the coffin of the Great Governor is to be transported back to Jiangxia, I will escort it in person. From the East China Sea. Since the Great Governor is to be buried in the East China Sea, I don’t have to go to Jiangxia. After the funeral of the Great Governor and the young lady has been dealt with, I can stay here.”

Shen Liangqiu was startled, Xin Ci explained: “Old Marquis is worried that after the death of the Governor, the East China Sea division will be unstable. You also know that the Northern Han Dynasty has changed, and the imperial court has already started planning for the Northern Expedition. At this moment, the East China Sea side 100,000 can’t make any mistakes. The old marquis has already recommended you to the imperial court to lead the Donghai Navy, so he sent me here to help you with the military affairs of the navy. The old marquis’s painstaking efforts, you must be well-educated.”

Shen Liangqiu hurriedly said: “General Xin, you are highly respected, how can I!”

“You don’t need to say more, since the old marquis recommended you, he naturally has his own consideration, and the old marquis can’t be wrong when he sees people.” Xin Ci said solemnly: “If you focus on managing the Donghai Master, you will be able to do it well. Alright, I’m here, if you are sent, I can give orders at any time, since the old marquis asked me to assist you in managing the navy, I will do my best and not slack in the slightest.”
