As soon as the sky was bright the next day, Princess Zhaohua and her group changed into Quanzhou to the warship of the Inner River Navy and headed towards Beijing. The people who followed him, and at the same time, a merchant ship set sail at the port of Quanzhou and headed towards Baoqing, Hongkou, the Ming Dynasty. The ship was loaded with Ning Zefeng, the eldest son of Ning's family, and Xiang Lian, the deputy envoy of the Ghost of Qi, and was led by Luo Hong to escort them.

Ning Zefeng's family was able to make a move after Ning Zhiwen's plea.

The matter is obvious. Ning Zeyuan returned and would never be able to tolerate this brother who had to kill him. The brother Yan Yuyun made Ning Zhiwen, who was already aging, unable to accept it at all. However, Ning Zeyuan now has a supporter, and his waist is straight, and he can no longer submit to him. He wants to kill Ning Zefeng, and sometimes he uses excuses and opportunities. Ning Zhiwen believes that as long as Ning Zeyuan is willing, the killers from the Ming Dynasty will easily defeat Ning Zefeng's family.

Although Ning Zefeng was evil, he was his son in the end. Of course, he also had his grandchildren. Ning Zhiwen didn't want to see such a tragedy.

He made a deal with Min Ruoxi. When Ning Zeyuan returned, when he became the head of the Ning clan, he handed over all the power of the Ning clan to Ning Zeyuan without reservation. His condition was that Min Ruoxi sent Ning Zefeng's family to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and let him live the life of an ordinary wealthy man.

As long as Ning Zefeng went to Shangjing City, with Min Ruoxi's promise, even if Ning Zeyuan is so prosperous in the future, it is impossible and he dare not kill his brother's family.

Ning Zhiwen was in Quanzhou Port, looking at the merchant ships leaving, burst into tears. He knew very well that he would never have the chance to see his eldest son again in his life.

But for the sake of Ning clan, he had no choice. Not to mention that Ning Zeyuan already had this strength to control the power of Ning clan, the Ming Dynasty's Haice alone made Ning Zhiwen's heart beat. If he could be a pirate openly and upright, why bother to be a pirate secretly? If the Ming Dynasty's Haice is successful, the Ning clan, as a pioneer, will surely be famous in history.

The second son's pattern is ultimately more open than the eldest, and he has better luck.

After all, I am old, and this world is the world of young people after all.

"Master, go back!" Huang Hai, the chief manager beside him, said softly.

"I'm old and soft-hearted." Ning Zhiwen wiped the tears from his face, "Master, let's prepare immediately when you go back, prepare ships and weapons, and call brothers, and we'll go to Jinghu."

"Yes. Hum?" Huang Hai was stunned, "Master, aren't you going to me?"

Ning Zhiwen smiled and said, "The boss is useless, and the second brother is trying hard to make a living. He is now an official of the Ming Dynasty. The world is full of the world. The current situation in the world is manipulated by the Emperor of Ming. If he can always be so wise, then it will not be a dream to unify the world. Therefore, if I, Ning, want to gain a foothold in the territory of this emperor in the future, how can I rely on the second brother alone alone?"

"Master, do you want to get out in person?" Huang Hai said in a daze.

"Put this old bone, let's fight again!" Ning Zhiwen glanced around and said softly: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty must be the one who unified the world, but the so-called Maritime Trade Bureau of the second son is afraid that the role it plays is limited in this process. I am afraid that the only way to make money through maritime trade is to attack the Chu Haigang. How much contribution can it be achieved if the troops transport ships attack the Chu Haigang?"

"What do you mean?" Huang Hai asked.

"I am still a bit famous for my old bones. This time, I, Ning, brought half of the elites of the family to Jinghu to assist Mr. Cheng! The remaining half of them will be left for the second child." Ning Zhiwen said.

"But what does this have to do with the second young master of the gang?"

Ning Zhiwen laughed: "Great manager, great manager, you are a good thing. You were known as a cunning fox in the past. Now, of course I want to win fame and make contributions. When a pivotal official in Chu State comes out, when the Ming Dynasty is going to manage Chu State, I will respond to it. This is the Ning family's contribution. I am old, and these contributions will eventually be added to the second brother."

"The master is thinking about the long term, and this is indeed the reason." Huang Hai thought for a while, "Even if the Ming Dynasty fails in the future, the second young master still has a way out."

Ning Zhiwen sighed: "I originally wanted the boss to do this, but unfortunately, he no longer had the trust of Daming, and he was no longer incompatible with the second brother. It is my ultimate to be able to protect his life. Let's go, let's go! Even if it's hard to see him in the future, I know that they are still alive."

The two old men, slightly hunched and walked side by side. Those who did not understand their past could not imagine the majesty of these two people on the sea back then.

Ten days later, the Ning family formed a fleet, and the county magistrate of Quanzhou, rushed straight to Jinghu. On that day, the 30,000 elite troops from the eastern border led by Cheng Wuben retreated to Jinghu all the way. As the Ming Dynasty expected, Cheng Wuben did not make any stops in the eastern border county and retreated directly to Jinghu County.

As soon as Cheng Wuben arrived at Jinghu County, he saw the Ning fleet composed of hundreds of warships and the elite Ning family soldiers. He was immediately excited. He was the Minister of War of the Great Chu, the Minister of War of the State of Chu, and the current state, bowed to Ning Zhiwen, a plain-headed citizen, and immediately appointed the other party as the commander of the navy and in charge of all the navy affairs in the Jinghu area.

Just when Cheng Wuben began to build the second line of defense for Da Chu in Jinghu, a lonely army had already reached a desperate situation within Qi State.

In Shangqiu County, Jiang Tao stood on a gentle slope and looked around. There were less than two thousand cavalry left around him. Even they were covered with scars and their armor was broken. A few miles away from their surroundings, three directions were surrounded by the county corps of Qi, while the other direction was Zhou Jiyun, the general of Qi who had been chasing them.

Jiang Tao may be the only person in this team who was not injured. In fact, as a weak scholar, he was not only a good combat plan in advance, but also arguing that he was always at the core of the team during the battle, wrapped in it by the most elite cavalry, running wildly with the brigade.

It is February now, the ice and snow melt and everything is revived. This cavalry has been in full for a whole month since the army penetrated into Qi alone. In a month, they have crossed the four counties of Qi, making the four counties full of soldiers, and the wind is loud. The four counties have to recruit a large number of county soldiers to encircle and intercept them.

The consequence of recruiting a large number of county soldiers was that they no longer had enough strength to provide food and supplies to hundreds of thousands of Qi troops in Luzhou. Now, they no longer care about themselves.

Jiang Tao's purpose of fighting is very clear, which is to create chaos and kill and damage. Every time he passes, he will definitely destroy the place. Exorcism of the people, burning houses, and destroying crops, in the eyes of the people of Qi, they are evil grinding that will do all kinds of evil.

But Jiang Tao had to do this. He wanted to reduce the potential of Qi's war, and to make them not have enough strength to continue to attack Chu even if they destroyed the main force of Chu in Luzhou. War requires money, countless food, materials, and labor. The more he destroyed, the less powerful he would have to support Qi in the next place to launch a larger-scale war of destruction. And he now knew that there were two Chu teams who were also doing the same thing as him, namely the Western General An Ruhai and the Xinning County Governor Wu Teng.

With ten thousand cavalrymen, Jiang Tao was rampant among the four counties. His talented tactical command art was reflected to the maximum extent in the flexible and maneuverable cavalry battles. Looking ahead, looking behind, suddenly on the left, and sometimes on the right, making the soldiers of the four counties and counties chasing him completely confused. Zhou Jiyun, who had been chasing him, ate the gray for a whole month.

But there will always be an end. In a month, Zhou Jiyun slowly understood Jiang Tao's tactics, narrowed down Jiang Tao's tactics and moved space little by little, and finally surrounded Jiang Tao in Shangqiu.

Jiang Tao became thinner and almost became a skeleton. There seemed to be only a layer of skeleton wrapped in leather on his face, only those pairs of eyes, and they were still shining.

Looking at the soldiers of Qi County who were slowly approaching in the distance, he coughed gently and stretched out his hand like a ghost claw. He covered his mouth. When he put down his hand, there was red blood in his palm. The life of a horse who never left his saddle for a month had seriously damaged his health.

But what else does this matter? Today, everything is about to end.

He looked up and looked towards Chang'an. Shangqiu was five hundred miles away from Chang'an. After a while, he turned around and looked at his brothers like beggars. He laughed in a hoarse voice: "It's a pity that we didn't see the city walls of Chang'an in the end. But it's enough."

The remaining two thousand cavalrymen all burst into laughter, "It's enough, general!"

Jiang Tao pointed at the county soldiers who were forcing him and shouted: "These people are just pigs and dogs. Killing them cannot increase your glory." His body slightly sideways, pointing to the other direction of the cavalry under Zhou Jiyun, who stood still, "Where are the elites of Qi, you and me, the heroes of the Great Chu. If they die at the hands of the elite, how can they be lost at the hands of the pigs and dogs? Brothers, right?"

The answer to him was the swords and guns raised high and the thunderous roars of all the cavalrymen.

"kill!"

"Brothers, go! Go and do your last power for the Great Chu." Jiang Tao pointed at Zhou Jiyun's crescendo cavalry and shouted sharply. The next moment, two thousand cavalry shouted, drove the war horses, and rushed towards Zhou Jiyun's army.
