Chapter 237 The eunuch in charge, the whole army bowed down Black Bear Island is the only way for trade between Qingzhou City and dozens of small countries on the South China Sea. Almost all ships coming and going will choose the route of Black Bear Island. This is not because this route can reach Qingzhou City and enter the Great Yuan realm faster. Or it may be more convenient to communicate with small countries on the sea. It's because the waters outside Black Bear Island are often haunted by powerful sea monsters, and even pirates don't dare to set foot there easily. Therefore, Black Bear Island is guarded by two thousand soldiers and horses all year round. The imperial court also attaches great importance to the development and security of this sea area. If you can defend this sea area, you will be promoted within a few years. Liu Ziyun's ability to transform from a lieutenant to the head of the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion within a dozen years was also related to his original guarding of Black Bear Island. Here danger and opportunity coexist. If you defend it well, it will be a great achievement. If you fail to defend it, your future will be ruined, and you may even lose your life. During the battle with pirates, the last captain, together with the pirates and the ship, was dragged to the bottom of the sea by a sea monster. From then on, there is no news. Nothing, completely buried in this sea area. The captain's name was Huang Dafa.
At this moment, Huang Dafa's flag is still hanging on Black Bear Island. You must know that the appointment and dismissal documents have been issued, and Liu Ziyun has already sent people to the island to ask Zhang Baofu and others to do the reception work and cooperate with Chu Linguang to protect this sea area. Ordinarily, before the ship arrived, the flag should have been changed to Chu Linguang's. At least Chu Linguang should not have seen Huang Dafa's flag hanging on the island. Chu Linguang expressed sympathy for the passing of Huang Dafa. The soldiers on the island remembered Huang Dafa and even built an ancestral hall for Huang Dafa. Chu Linguang understood and agreed and could pay homage to Huang Dafa. If there were descendants of Huang Dafa on the island, Chu Linguang would still do it. Treat each other favorably. But the flag represents military power and is a status symbol of Chu Linguang. On the first day he took office, he saw that his predecessor's flag was still hanging on his own territory. This was obviously a provocation and he was not taken seriously. So at Eunuch Liu's reminder, Chu Linguang shot the first arrow at Huang Dafa's flag in front of everyone. "Whoosh!" The arrow broke the rope on the flag. The flag fell from the flagpole and landed on the head of a soldier. Zhang Baofu, who came out of the city to greet him, stopped in his tracks. "Whoosh!" Chu Linguang shot the second arrow. His flag was tied to the arrow. "when!" The arrow hit the flagpole, and the flag of Black Bear Island finally changed into the Chu flag. "What does he mean?" "Is this guy going to go against us?" "What should Master Zhang do now?"
Several captains behind Zhang Baofu were whispering. "Don't act rashly, wait until he comes down." Zhang Baofu comforted him. Then he stood at the gate of the city, facing Chu Linguang on the boat from a distance, and saluted with his hands raised: "Your Majesty, Zhang Baofu, led the brothers to welcome Master Chu to take office." Hearing this, Chu Linguang was about to speak and take Xuanyuan Jinkang and others off the boat, but Eunuch Liu shook his head and whispered: "Let him come up." Chu Linguang thinks it makes sense. This Zhang Baofu only went out of the city to greet the ship after it docked at the shore, instead of leading his men to wait on the shore early. Moreover, Huang Dafa's flag had just been hung, which clearly showed that he was deliberately neglecting him. Chu Linguang admitted that this was a bit bureaucratic, but if he wanted to take over Black Bear Island and make everyone on the island obey his orders, Zhang Baofu and his group must be subdued. So Chu Linguang said to the centurion surnamed Li: "I didn't hear what they said, let them get on the boat to talk." "Yes!" Li Santong immediately came to the bow of the ship and shouted to Zhang Baofu and others: "Master Zhang, Master Chu wants you to come on board and serve." The word "serve" made Chu Linguang and Eunuch Liu couldn't help but look at Li Santong. This guy was playing tricks. Zhang Baofu's expression froze. "Sir, you must not go up there. Are the brothers looking at you?" Zhang Long whispered. "Master Chu, the lower official's legs and feet are cold and it is inconvenient to board the ship. The brothers have prepared everything for Master Chu and are waiting to help Master Chu. Come down quickly, Master Chu!" Zhang Baofu cupped his hands and smiled. There was a hint of anger in Chu Linguang's eyebrows. Zhang Baofu made it clear that he wanted to compete with him. He was just about to release his aura fluctuations and replied to shock Zhang Baofu. However, Eunuch Liu took a few steps forward, came to the bow of the ship, and said calmly: "Master Chu has an order for you to come up and serve. There is so much nonsense!" "boom!" Invisibly, a wave of air swept out of Eunuch Liu's body. The air wave was turbulent, just like the sea level rising, and the seawater surged up to Black Bear Island, drowning Zhang Baofu and others. As a master of the third level of life and death in the True Martial Realm, Eunuch Liu was not a monk in the Qi Sea Realm who could provoke him even if his skills had not yet recovered. What's more, his soft skills are also top-notch. In addition, he has lived in the palace for a long time, and he is not angry and powerful. He has been seen by various princes, ministers, princes and grandsons. He has a cold and evil aura. Normally, his aura is as gentle as a little old man. Once his aura is revealed, he has a mysterious majesty. , even Liu Ziyun didn't dare to neglect. What's more, what he released at this time was the cultivation of a strong man in the True Martial Realm. With his cold aura, dark temperament, scheming, and the ability to eat people without spitting out their bones, he looked like someone who came out of the palace. For a moment, Zhang Baofu and others were stunned into confusion. He said in a panic: "Senior, wait a moment, I'll be here right away." Under the watchful eyes of all the soldiers, Zhang Baofu led three captains and a group of centurions, and ran onto the ship.
After boarding the ship. Chu Linguang sat on the chair. Eunuch Liu stood in front of him, looking at Zhang Baofu and others with a smile. Xuanyuan Jinkang pressed his waist knife, released aura waves, and glared at Zhang Baofu and others. After Zhang Baofu came up, he was still a little hesitant and couldn't help but look at Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu stood at the lower left of Chu Linguang, looking like a little old man, with a harmless look on his face. He had an identity token hanging around his waist. It says the eunuch in charge, Liu Xun. "boom!" "For your humble position, please see Mr. Chu!" At that moment, Zhang Baofu's hair stood up and he couldn't help but kneel down towards Chu Linguang. You must know that he is from the sixth rank, and Chu Linguang is from the sixth rank. Both of them are captains. Even if they have no fame, they only need to bow their hands to Chu Linguang. He was so frightened that he knelt down to Chu Linguang. Chu Linguang didn't expect this. After Zhang Baofu knelt down, he felt regretful. When he was about to get up, the three captains and a group of centurions behind him felt even more like they were facing a formidable enemy. Master Chu!” The sound of a person being frightened may not spread much, but the sound of a group of people being frightened can be described as deafening. Not only the sixty soldiers on the ship heard it, but also the soldiers on the entire Black Bear Island heard those words, "Please see Mr. Chu for your humble position!" For a while. It became extremely quiet up and down Black Bear Island. Chu Linguang also stood up from his chair. At this time, Zhang Baofu slowly stood up and said flatteringly: "Master Chu, are the brothers waiting for you on the island?" "Then please ask Mr. Zhang to lead the way. I want to see what the brothers have prepared?" Chu Linguang said lightly. "Yes, Master Chu please." Zhang Baofu didn't dare to walk in front of Chu Linguang, so he could only lead the way. When Eunuch Liu passed by him, he bent even lower. Although Eunuch Liu had put away the token around his waist, the words "chief eunuch" were like a reminder, making him panic. Not all day long. Although the sky is high here and the emperor is far away, no matter what status Eunuch Liu is, his strength alone is enough to easily crush him. Not to mention someone who came out of the palace. He cursed in his heart and cursed the person responsible for investigating Chu Linguang's identity dozens of times. How could a person who was personally accompanied by the general manager after taking office be a civilian Jinshi. The other party’s surname is Chu. Who were the capable people named Chu throughout the past dynasties?
"King Churen!" He thought of a murderous king with a different surname. It was said that he was a brother-in-law to Emperor Taizu. He could rush into the palace on horseback and carry a sword, and even manage the emperor's children and grandchildren. According to legend, he also held a magic whip, which was a gift from Emperor Taizu. . Go up and kill Hun Jun. Get rid of traitors and traitors. The princes and ministers were frightened when they heard the news, and the princes and grandsons were in panic all day long. Chu Linguang must be a descendant of King Chu Ren. It occurred to him that this was the only possibility. Otherwise, even if Wu Zhuangyuan takes office, there will be no chief eunuch accompanying him. "Clang!" The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Zhang Baofu broke out in cold sweat. When he went down the stairs, he stumbled and rolled down the stairs, as if someone had kicked him off a boat. He just rolled from the boat to the bottom, destroying the fantasy of a group of people. All gone. His helmet came off and his sword fell to the ground. After getting up, he looked at Chu Linguang and the others who were slowly coming down from upstairs. As a strong person in the Qi Sea Perfection Realm, Zhang Baofu could quickly stabilize his body and prevent him from rolling down the stairs even if he missed his foot. But he was so frightened that he became more and more frightened as he thought about it. He seemed to have lost his soul and had no time to show off his skills. When he rolled off the boat and his embarrassed figure was seen by a group of brothers, he was still immersed in In shock, he looked at Chu Linguang cautiously, not daring to breathe. "Welcome Master Chu!" At this moment, when the soldiers on the island who were still hesitating saw Chu Linguang getting off the boat, whether they were standing at the city gate or on the city tower, they all knelt down towards Chu Linguang and paid homage in unison. "Brothers, I, Chu Linguang, came all the way here not to hang out, but to make contributions to the imperial court and ensure the safety of this sea area. As long as the brothers can work together with me, I promise not to treat anyone badly!" Chu Linguang said loudly. "Li Santong!" After saying that, he called Li Santong forward. "The humble position is here!" Li Santong ran up from behind and knelt down. "From now on, you will be my adjutant. Please compile a list of information about the people on the island and give it to me." Chu Linguang ordered. "Thank you for the promotion, sir. I will never give up even if I die!" Li Santong was ecstatic and quickly kowtowed to Chu Linguang. The group of centurions who were following Zhang Baofu all looked at each other in confusion at this moment. Chu Linguang made Li Santong their boss with just one word. Originally, they thought that Zhang Baofu still had the final say on Black Bear Island, Chu Linguang's power would be emptied out, and they could fish in troubled waters and enjoy the hot food as before. Unexpectedly, Zhang Baofu was treated obediently as soon as he met him. If Chu Linguang really used the experience of Black Bear Island as a springboard, he would definitely improve military discipline in the future.
Not only are they missing all kinds of oil and water, but they also have to fight pirates at sea. Life will only get harder and harder. So from the very beginning, they learned that the person sent by the superiors was a Jinshi. They all thought that Chu Linguang was here to get gold, so they tried to find ways to embarrass Chu Linguang and wanted him to hang out with them.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Baofu was just called to the boat, and things changed drastically. The scene of him rolling off the boat caused everyone to lose resistance to Chu Linguang. Finally, with the help of Eunuch Liu. Chu Linguang took over Black Bear Island with great ease. "Thank you, father-in-law, for your help. Lin Guang will never forget it." In the captain's mansion. Chu Linguang knelt down and said to Eunuch Liu. He knew that Eunuch Liu's involvement in Black Bear Island's affairs could be big or small. If someone took advantage of it, even if Eunuch Liu could handle it, he would be in trouble. In addition, as soon as the other party took action, the people on Black Bear Island were obedient, saving him a lot of trouble later. This was a great favor, and Chu Lin had to remember it. "When we help you, we are also helping my disciple. Only if you control Black Bear Island can you leave here as soon as possible." Eunuch Liu explained. He did this selfishly, mainly for Xuanyuan Jinkang. Of course, he also liked Chu Lin's character of repaying kindness. "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely not forget Brother Xuanyuan for his contribution to clearing pirates and maintaining maritime security in the future." Chu Linguang also knew Eunuch Liu's intentions. "Well, our family just took a closer look at everyone. The people here are free and loose and have no morale at all. It seems that they are the pirates in this sea area. You must correct it as soon as possible and don't let them all become old fritters, otherwise you will be counted as No matter how strong a person is, without their help, you cannot maintain the security of this sea area." Eunuch Liu reminded. "Lin Guang understands." Chu Linguang already had a plan in his heart. That night. He summoned Zhang Baofu and others at the Duwei Mansion. Originally, Zhang Baofu wanted to take him to Fengyue Tower for a few days of fun. Black Bear Island is neither big nor small. In addition to the two thousand officers and soldiers stationed on it, there are also tens of thousands of civilians living on it. Ships enter and leave the island every day. The fishery is developed and the trade of goods is particularly abundant. It is a supply station and haven for passing ships. It's a pity that it doesn't have a good reputation. Many ships would rather go around than dock at Black Bear Island. They would only come to Black Bear Island to seek help unless they encounter pirates or escape from a storm. "Tomorrow I am going to test the strength of my brothers. Let everyone be prepared. All ships, whether good or bad, as long as they are equipped by the imperial court, must be inspected by me one by one. There must be no omissions." Chu Linguang ordered. "Yes!"
Zhang Baofu and others left with deep thoughts. They were afraid that Chu Linguang would become more serious after taking office and really want to go to sea to wipe out pirates. Now it seems that Chu Linguang is indeed ambitious and wants to make achievements in this sea area, which will be a hard time for them. (End of this chapter)
