Chapter 407: Leaving the island and starting again

When the sunset was about to disappear at sea level, Chu Zheng appeared at the dock in time with a dozen guards and a few horse-drawn carriages.

Xu Fangyuan led the navy generals waiting in front of the dock to greet him immediately and bowed to Chu Zheng in unison.

This is also one of Chu Zheng's reforms. When his subordinates saw that their superiors were not allowed to kneel down and bowed and clasped their hands. According to Chu Zheng, a man had gold under his knees. If he got used to kneeling and bowed, he would even lose his backbone. Even in the face of the strict rules of traditional Confucianism "kneeling to heaven, earth, king, and teacher", Chu Zheng also carried out reforms, changing from kneeling on both knees to kneeling on one knee, bowing his head and raising his hands to clasping his fists.

In other words, it is never allowed to kneel on your knees and kowtow to insult your personality.

Seeing Chu Zheng's arrival, and the respect and support of Chenxi Army for Chu Zheng was no less than that of the Young Marshal's Army for Chu Zhuang, Yang Qing, Tian Sanniang and other four guards were truly relieved and followed him to greet Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng was very kind to them and greeted them one by one.

Yang Qing and others were also very smart. They knew that Chu Zheng and Cheng Lingsu and other girls had to say a lot when they met again after a long separation, and they were not in a hurry to report on their work. They all stepped back and waited for their orders.

There were many people at the dock, but Chu Zheng could still see Cheng Lingsu standing among the girls at a glance.

Cheng Lingsu stood among several beautiful young girls, neither moving forward nor falling behind, nor avoiding the corner, but standing there quietly looking at him.

This made Chu Zheng feel a little relieved, at least it proved that Cheng Lingsu had some confidence and dared to stand with the beautiful girls. Moreover, her face had improved significantly compared to the pale and blood-free color that was half a month ago. It was obvious that her body recovered well. I believe she had been working hard to practice the Eternal Life Art.

With the Eternal Life Art and the magic pill obtained in the mission, Cheng Lingsu's lifespan should be extended a lot. Chu Zheng walked to Cheng Lingsu's body, his eyes full of smiles: "Senior Sister."

Cheng Lingsu stared at the young man he had been thinking about day and night, tried hard to hide the joy and excitement of the reunion flashing in his eyes, and smiled calmly: "Junior brother, I heard that you have done a lot of chivalrous things these days, and my senior sister was very happy to hear it."

Chu Zheng was funny and couldn't help but say, "Senior sister, why are you doing so formally? The elders' admonishment and advice? Should I add another sentence, 'No, don't be proud, take Li Li again, and carry forward our Medicine King Sect'?"

He said it funny, Cheng Lingsu burst out laughing, gave him a blank look, and joked: "Master Chu is famous all over the world now, and he is less and less at ease with my senior sister. He dares..." She wanted to say that she actually dared to joke with her senior sister in public.

Chu Zheng interrupted her and said softly: "I always take you to heart if there is nothing."

His voice was very little, the sea breeze was strong, and others could not hear it clearly, but Cheng Lingsu was right in front of him, and every word was clearly heard into his ears, and his heart trembled. He couldn't speak halfway through his words. She lowered her head, but her cheeks were flushed and her inch was in chaos.

Chu Zheng smiled slightly and thought to himself that you had made up your mind to stay with me as an elder? I don’t believe it anymore. If you have something to do, it depends on how long your stubbornness can last. This is called “boiling a frog in warm water”.

However, he was also afraid that he would backfire and cause Cheng Lingsu to avoid leaving his hometown, so he did not "chase". After looking at him, he saw Shui Sheng standing quietly behind Cheng Lingsu, staring at him.

"Brother Chu."

Shui Sheng screamed crisply, and a moving smile appeared on his pretty face.

The footsteps of spring have slightly entered the morning light island, but the sea breeze is still very cold, making Shui Sheng's pretty face a little stiff. But her eyes looked at Chu Zheng as gentle as water, as if even the ice and snow could melt, and like cotton wool, wrapping around him in circles.

This time it was Chu Zheng's turn to be confused. Shui Sheng adopted the same strategy of boiling frogs in warm water as him. He did not take the initiative to not get close to him, nor did he fight or rob, but he never left him. Anyway, he was following Cheng Lingsu. As long as he looked back at Cheng Lingsu, he would definitely see Shui Sheng.

Chu Zheng looked away again and said a little embarrassedly: "Miss Water looks good."

He was just talking about nothing. He was not at all panicked when facing the siege of several great masters, but he couldn't stand it when he was staring at Shui Sheng's soft gaze.

On the one hand, Song Tianer didn't bother to worry about the trouble and giggled: "Chu Shuai, you are so stupid! When Qu saw you, his complexion was good!"

She deliberately used the southern dialect that others could not understand, and only Chu Zheng could understand.

Seeing Shui Sheng blinking in confusion, Chu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was sleeping. He turned to Chu Liuxiang and said, "Xiangshuai, I want to ask you something."

Chu Liuxiang laughed and said, "What's the matter?"

"Miss Tian'er's mouth is worth thousands of troops. You lend her to me for a while. In the future, if anyone I don't like, I will send Miss Tian'er to the person, ensuring that the person will be disturbed."

Everyone understood as soon as they heard this. It must be that Song Tianer had deliberately made trouble just now, and she burst into laughter. Song Tianer was not angry. She blinked her eyes and smiled and said, "I guess Young Master Chu Liuxiang would not agree. Otherwise, according to Chu Shuai's words, if Young Master Chu Liuxiang lends me to you, wouldn't he be disliked?"

Chu Zheng: "..."

Seeing that Chu Zheng was rarely defeated, everyone laughed again, and Song Tianer even laughed so hard that she shrank into a ball.

Such a smile makes the joyful atmosphere of reunion even more intense.

Chu Zheng couldn't help laughing and said to Chu Liuxiang: "I dare not borrow Miss Tian'er. Miss Su Rongrong is good at medical skills and detoxification. If Xiang Shuai agrees, I want to borrow her for three months and live on this island for the time being."

Chu Liuxiang naturally knew his intention and smiled and said, "Rongrong is idle too. Even if you don't mention it after she understands the situation, she will take the initiative to ask for help from Liu."

Li Hongxiu said curiously: "What are you talking about?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Shi Shuai Chu will tell you in detail when he is here."

The wind was strong by the beach. After chatting for a few words, everyone got on the prepared carriage in batches under Chu Zheng's urging. Chu Zheng was afraid that these girls would be frozen, so he prepared the carriage early.

When getting on the carriage, Chu Zheng noticed that Li Qianshu was timidly huddled behind Shui Sheng, still like a child, but it was obvious that she was quite dependent and trusting Shui Sheng.

Chu Zheng's heart moved. When he thought of Niu Niu, he really needed a gentle and patient girl to take care of her after he left. Shui Sheng had a very good personality and temper. He was as straightforward as a female hero in the martial arts world, and the delicate and gentle as a daughter in the boudoir. It was the most suitable to hand Niu Niu to her, even more suitable than Cheng Lingsu.

But will the girl give up Niu Niu to Shui Sheng and cause some misunderstandings?

Chu Zheng was a little worried. After all, Shui Sheng never said the confession, and he was not good to refuse before the other person spoke. The most troublesome thing was that he could see that Shui Sheng was a girl who believed it, and it was hard to change her mind if she had decided.

What's more, Shui Sheng has no relatives. If she is hurt by herself, where can she go?

Chu Zheng made up his mind and forgot it, just like that. No one knows what will happen in the future. At least Shui Sheng can smile like this now, it is not a bad thing.

The group returned to Chenxi City by carriage and moved into the city lord's mansion. After dinner, Chu Zheng summoned everyone and briefly told the story of the separation in Shaozhou. Hu Tiehua next to him added jealousy to tell the thrilling stories of the storm, Bat Island, and the decisive battle against Li Qi Navy, which surprised and surprised the girls and Yang Qing and other guards.

Cheng Lingsu and Shui Sheng looked at Chu Zheng with worried eyes from time to time.

Although they knew that he was here safely, these stories were too thrilling. When they recalled Chu Zheng's situation at that time, they couldn't help but be frightened and worried about him.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng hurriedly interrupted Hu Tiehua's boast and instead introduced the island's human, geographical and specialty climate. Hearing that there are many medicinal materials here and there are many rare things about the treasures of heaven and earth, Cheng Lingsu really became interested, and even Su Rongrong was energetic.

Chu Zheng seized the opportunity and said to Cheng Lingsu and Su Rongrong: "There are too few doctors on the island with excellent medical skills, but there are many sick refugees, especially those with severe illness, who may need your help to get medical treatment."

Su Rongrong has good medical skills, and Cheng Lingsu is a great master. With their help, the mortality rate of refugees should be greatly reduced.

Cheng Lingsu and Su Rongrong were originally kind-hearted girls, so they naturally agreed without hesitation when they heard this.

He arranged for Cheng Lingsu to practice medicine. On the one hand, although he wanted to save more poor people, and on the other hand, he wanted Cheng Lingsu to interact more with outsiders. As long as she was constantly recognized and thanked by others in the field she was good at, she would gradually increase her self-confidence and become cheerful and sunny. This is undoubtedly of great benefit to Cheng Lingsu's physical and mental health.

Chu Zheng mentioned the sewn eyes of the girls rescued from Bat Island and the poison on Jin Lingzhi. Then he handed the medicine bottles searched from Bat Young Master to Cheng Lingsu and Su Rongrong. Cheng Lingsu reached out to take the hand and said, "I will do my best."

Chu Zheng knew that she was serious about her work and since she had agreed, she would do her best. She secretly asked Su Rongrong and Shui Sheng to pay more attention. Cheng Lingsu's body had just recovered most of her body and could not let her work too much.

Shui Sheng and Su Rongrong nodded to him seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ruyun hugged Niu Niu and floated in.

She was still wearing a short skirt with a sable fur and a gorgeous red cloak. As soon as she walked into the room, she was full of glory.

Shui Sheng, Su Rongrong, Song Tianer, and Li Hongxiu are all beautiful girls from all over the world, but at this time, they were all inferior to Miss Qin Er.

Qin Ruyun nodded slightly to everyone and sent Niu Niu to Chu Zheng's arms: "My little sister wakes up and wants to find you, so I'll bring it here."

Cheng Lingsu noticed that Qin Ruyun and Chu Zheng were standing very close and almost together, but the two of them didn't notice it. Obviously, their relationship had become extremely close.

The light in Cheng Ling's eyes couldn't help but dim a little.

"Brother." When Niu Niu saw a large number of strangers, she hugged Chu Zheng tightly with fear, but her other little hand was still holding Qin Ruyun.

She was able to eat a full meal every day in the past two or three days, and her complexion was obviously much better, but she was still so thin that it was sad. She had no flesh on her face and was not good-looking. Chu Zheng remembered that every time she ate, she even picked up a piece of rice that fell to the ground and ate it, and she felt particularly pity for her.

Chu Zheng put his face and her little face in love, making the little girl giggle, and then said softly: "Little sister, I will introduce you to some sisters, and they will play with you in the future."

"good."

The sensible Niu Niu immediately won the love of a group of girls. When Chu Zheng entrusted Niu Niu to Shui Sheng, Shui Sheng happily agreed.

Cheng Lingsu sensitively noticed something and asked, "Junior brother, are you going to leave here?"

Shui Sheng was originally holding Niu Niu and teasing her, but when he heard this, his whole body was shocked. The smile on his face froze and subconsciously turned around and looked over.

Chu Zheng thought about it and simply confessed: "Yes, I have a lot to deal with when I go back to Central Plains. Let's go to Xiangcheng to meet Guo Xiang first. I promised her to celebrate her 16th birthday. In addition, there are also important things to deal with in Chang'an..."

"So..." Cheng Lingsu smiled, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes: "It should be that Miss Guo Er is deeply in love with you, you have to treat her well."

Chu Zheng saw it, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

You will be jealous and sad, just because you are afraid that you will not be in trouble at all and position yourself completely in the role of an elder.

He was thinking about how to solve Cheng Lingsu, and Qin Ruyun blinked at him and gestured to him to hand it over, and then took Cheng Lingsu's hand: "Miss Cheng, long time no see. I just happened to want to talk to you."

Cheng Lingsu has always been incompatible with her. Seeing that she rarely talked to her, she could not get out of the market in public, so she had to follow her away.

"Brother is going to leave Niu Niu?" Niu Niu was quite reluctant to let Chu Zheng go, looking at Chu Zheng with a gaze. Chu Zheng's heart almost melted, and he hurriedly said, "Be good, my brother will come back to see you after finishing his work."

Tears rolled in Niu Niu's eyes, but they just didn't fall off. She just nodded sensibly: "Well, Niu Niu is waiting for her brother to come back at home."

Shui Sheng hugged Niu Niu in his arms, with his back facing Chu Zheng, not letting him see the tears of reluctance in his eyes, and said softly: "Be good, my brother is just leaving for a while, and there will be a sister with you."

Seeing that Niu Niu didn't push Shui Sheng away, Chu Zheng felt relieved.

It's really homey here.

After settling down Niu Niu, Cheng Lingsu and Qin Ruyun had returned one after another. No one knew what they were talking about, but Cheng Lingsu's expression had returned to calm, and the eyes of Chu Zheng looked at Chu Zheng with an indescribable emotion.

After arranging everyone to rest, Chu Zheng took the time to listen to the work report of Yang Qing and others, and then formally introduced Qin Ruyun's new identity, let them follow Qin Ruyun to do things, and asked Wei Zhibai to establish a connection with the Liangdu Young Marshal Army as soon as possible and exchange information in a timely manner. Li Qi suffered a great loss on Chenxi Island, and should make major changes to the strategy of attacking Suizhou, and the deployment of the Young Marshal Army must also be readjusted.

Yang Qing took the order with a stern heart. Yang Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Ship Chu, there is a strange thing I wanted to report to you, but because the matter was a little strange, I did not dare to report it easily before it was verified. However, what happened recently is more important. When you were not here, I had already sent a letter to the young marshal and Xu Military Advisor."

"oh?"

"Since last month, an unknown force has provided us with intelligence. When we were dealing with Xiaoyao Hou, someone had passed on Xiaoyao Hou's intelligence to me by passing letters by flying arrows, but I dare not believe it. Later, I found that the information was exactly the same as what we investigated. A few days ago, after I arrived in Shaozhou, someone still used flying arrows to me every once in a while, but the information provided this time was the mobilization of the Li family's troops and the generals were receiving intelligence, which was much more detailed than the information we obtained. This is the latest letter."

Yang Qing said as he presented a letter.

Chu Zheng took it and saw that the above words were filled with intelligence in the small characters of Juanxiu. It turned out that the Li family mobilized their troops to attack Suizhou. Of course, the information has now expired, but the information about the forces controlled by the Li family is still useful, and the intelligence here is more detailed than the power mobilization.

This intelligence has a great effect on the intelligence network that the Young Marshal Army has recently formed.

However, no signature was left on the letter paper, so it is difficult for people to guess who secretly helped.

Chu Zheng frowned. No wonder Yang Qing did not report this matter easily. It was difficult to judge the enemy of us just by looking at this information. If it was a trap, there was deadly false information hidden in the secret, and the young commander-in-chief believed it was true, it would be dangerous.

After handing the letter paper to Qin Ruyun, Qin Ruyun thought for a while and said, "Either it was Sun Xiaohong or Zhao Min."

Chu Zheng was stunned.

"Sun Xiaohong's family's intelligence network is extremely powerful, especially in the world's forces. She is unparalleled in the world. She is interested in you, and it is very likely to provide help in secret. It's okay for her. If it was Princess Shaomin's plan, this would be much more troublesome."

After discussing for a while, the two finally decided to wait and see. No matter whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, as long as they keep providing such information, they will always reveal flaws.

Everything was arranged, before leaving, Chu Zheng went to see the girls rescued from Bat Island. Seeing that they had slowly adapted to their new life and had died, he felt relieved.

The next morning, Chu Zheng did not say goodbye to anyone, and quietly used his light skills to leave Chenxi Island. Sitting on the sea snake Xiaohei, heading towards the Central Plains Continent.
