From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 806

"I've gained weight."

Zhou Yuan looked at Chu Feifan who was standing in front of him obediently, and chuckled: "Your Majesty, you've had a good time in the past year. You've been free and easy in Guangzhou Prefecture, eating meat and fish every day, and you've become plump."

Chu Feifan shrank his head and laughed dryly, not daring to say anything.

Zhou Yuan said: "When you saw Zhuang Xuanpu in Yangzhou Prefecture, you ran away, but I was bullied by her over and over again!"

Chu Feifan was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned pale.

Can Zhou Yuan really stand up to that behemoth? If so, he is really a man.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "King of Dharma, I still remember our agreement. If you help me, I will give you a county."

"Look, now I need your help again."

Chu Feifan's anger suddenly rose. Damn it, back in the Central Plains, you threatened me with the Virgin Mary and lured me with a county, saying that you had a small business in the south and needed a master to take charge.

Damn it, are these things of yours small businesses!

There were naval battles and salt inspections, and I was almost chopped off by Zhuang Xuanpu. I finally took a year off, and you come again?

At the beginning, you said you would help you for a year, but year after year, year after year, how many years has it been? Is it over yet?

I want to kill you with one palm now!

"Go through fire and water, my lord!"

Chu Feifan nodded and said honestly: "Just one word from you, I, Chu, will risk my life!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Before we carry out the mission, how about we fight? I have made great progress in the past year, and my martial arts have reached perfection."

"Do you know the Bayan Luohan on the snowy mountain in the Western Regions? When I was in Sichuan before, he came to assassinate me, haha, and he died in front of me."

You are just bragging!

Chu Feifan sneered in his heart, died in front of you? It's so euphemistic, it must not be you who killed him, maybe you killed him with a cannon.

"Your lord has unparalleled skills! I admire you very much!"

Chu Feifan said seriously: "My little kung fu is all thanks to the guidance of the Holy Mother, so I have today's fortune, I dare not compare with your lord."

After speaking, he looked at Li Yu'an in a flattering way.

Li Yu'an nodded with satisfaction and said, "Seeing that you speak so nicely, I won't blame you for having a carefree year in Guangzhou Prefecture."

"Help Zhou Yuan well this time. If you succeed, I will ask you for a county. I guarantee that he won't dare to break his promise."

Hearing this, Chu Feifan was really overjoyed.

Zhou Yuan is now of high status, a prince, and a county can be easily given, but if he doesn't give it, Chu Feifan knows that he can't do anything to him.

But now the Virgin Mary actually promised it in person, my God, it's great.

Chu Feifan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Virgin Mary, you are still good to me after so many years!"

"What is the mission this time! Please give me instructions!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Swim to Haojing tonight and see what's going on there."

The smile on Chu Feifan's face disappeared immediately.

Swim to Haojing? Damn... Do you think the current Haojing is still the Haojing of two years ago?

Two years ago, they just won a great victory and looked down on us. They didn't take any precautions at all.

Now we have guns and warships here, and they are always on guard. Why should I swim over there? To block the guns or the guns?

He swallowed and said, "Over there... the battleship is parked, I'll swim over like this..."

Zhou Yuan said, "You don't dare to go, do you?"

Li Yu'an narrowed her eyes and slowly put down the teacup in her hand.

"Of course I will go!"

Chu Feifan took a deep breath and said seriously, "I will set off at three o'clock tonight and guarantee that I will be back before dawn. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yuan said, "You won't stay in the water halfway through the swim, come back and pretend to be there, and make up a few random words, right?"

"So, when you go to Haojing to investigate, you can also grab a flintlock gun."

Chu Feifan smiled, greeted Zhou Yuan's ancestors warmly in his heart, and then said it was okay.

After he left, Zhou Yuan and Li Yu'an looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Li Yu'an narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I feel that if I wasn't here, he would have definitely attacked you."

Zhou Yuan said: "That won't happen. Our Dharma King Da Ri is a person who knows how to enjoy life. People who know how to enjoy life are often afraid of death."

"He won't attack me. He just wants to escape."

Li Yu'an chuckled: "So after this mission, you should still fulfill your promise to the other party. Have you thought about the land of one county?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Of course, I plan to give him Sandao County next to Fu Yu."

Li Yu'an asked in confusion: "Where is that?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Outside the pass, the Inner Khalkha area,There are also gradually Far Eastern expedition teams appearing over there. The King of France is good at martial arts, so he is definitely not afraid of those big guys. "

Li Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then he kept laughing and rubbing him: "Then this Saint Mary will thank you on behalf of the King of France!"

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "That is indeed a good place. If he really has the ability to defend it, I will really give it to him."

Li Yu'an said: "Is it too far to think about the north now? I am not optimistic about the naval battle."

"The Chaozhou merchant fleet should meet McPherson's ship, right? Can the Hengyong and Hengpan stop McPherson's two battleships and a cruiser?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "There is no pressure. It is not easy to tell the result of a broadside bombardment. What's more, the Dajin side is so powerful that the other side does not have a crushing advantage."

"But now I am still worried about Haojing."

"I think McPherson is shrewd and will not be defeated by me one by one. ”

“I don’t know how he will respond to this. We can only take it one step at a time.”

…

On the upper deck of the battleship Drutt, the other three captains have come here through the boarding. The reason is very simple. They blame Lucas Benson for being too nervous and falling into the opponent’s trap, which led to the failure of the mission to pursue the Chaozhou merchant fleet.

They have various reasons.

“Just two cruisers and just flag signals scared us back to defend the island. Captain Benson, don’t you think this is a pity?”

“We are like rats on the street, scared out of our wits by the Dajin people, or are you too old to withstand the wind and waves?”

“We could have caught up with the Chaozhou merchant fleet and forced them to hand over at least ten ships of supplies by force.”

“Ten ships, that’s a lot of money! "

Lucas is indeed old. He is already fifty years old, and the wrinkles on his face are already very deep.

But his eyes are still sharp, and his voice is still powerful: "Everyone, complaining and regretting are things that only weak people do. You are all captains, please don't be like a woman who has fallen out of favor."

"We can indeed catch up with Chaoshang and we can indeed gain huge benefits, but as I said, Dongfan Island is our foundation."

"If the Dajin Navy forcibly attacks the island while we are away, can the remaining four cruisers really stop it?"

"If we lose the island, how can we get it back? The other side can just transport tens of thousands of mature warriors to prevent us from landing on the island."

"By then, Dongfan Island will become a long tug-of-war, and the cost will be unimaginable."

He looked at the other three people and said, "You are all younger than me and more ambitious than me, but you should understand that without a foundation, there is no trade, and without trade, there is no money. "

Here, he stood up, looked forward, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is what you said, have you fallen into the trap?"

Everyone followed his gaze and saw the Fuzhou dock vaguely visible, where dozens of large ships had gathered, hanging flags, and were ready to set sail.

Seeing this scene, everyone was immediately furious.

"How dare they!"

"Damn! Shameless! How dare they take advantage of us when we are out! To steal our home!"

"Fire at them! Blast all their ships!"
