    At dusk, under the escort of two rows of navy, the sails slowly entered the port and appeared in everyone's sight.

    The shore was already crowded with people who came to welcome the boat. When they saw the silhouette of the boat, there was a commotion in the crowd at first. When they gradually saw it clearly, cheers broke out. Those with family members on the boat were even more nervous and excited. They struggled to squeeze to the front and waited anxiously.  .

    Jiafu and Meng had already come here. They were now standing in front of the pier, looking ahead with wide eyes. The ship was gradually approaching. Jiafu finally saw the figure of her brother Zhen Yaoting, and a bunch of people crowded on the bow. Some people were excited.  Weeping, some people waved and jumped to the shore desperately.

    You should know that if a merchant ship falls into the hands of ordinary pirates and the family pays the ransom, the person may be able to come back. However, if you encounter Japanese pirates, there is usually only one possibility, and that is the shipwreck and death.  Therefore, although the tall man also sent the navy to rescue, almost everyone could not believe that the person could really be rescued. The hope was too slim.

    But the most unlikely thing actually happened.

    When Mrs. Meng saw her son, she couldn't help but cry with joy. Jia Fu supported her, her eyes were also red.

    Zhen Yaoting had long since seen Meng and Jiafu next to her. She was ecstatic. As soon as the boat stopped, she put it on the walking plank and quickly got on the shore. She called Meng "Mother" and then turned to Jiafu.  He called her "sister" and asked her why she returned to Quanzhou at this time.  After listening to Jiafu's story, she quickly opened her hands, turned around, and said, "I'm fine! I made you worry!"

    Mrs. Meng grabbed her son's arm and looked up and down. She saw that except for the fact that he was a little darker and thinner and had a few scars on his neck and forehead, he looked really good.  Wiping away his tears, he asked Zhang Da and the rest of the people, and learned that the ship and cargo were gone in this distress, and one person died. Fortunately, Zhang Da and the rest of the people on the ship were not seriously injured.  Those who were injured were not serious. After a few days of recovery after landing ashore, they would recover. Then they relaxed a little and bowed a few times in the direction of Mazu Temple.

    Zhen Yaoting said: "Mother, if you want to worship, don't forget to also worship the Golden-faced Dragon King. If it weren't for the Golden-faced Dragon King this time, my son might not be able to come back!"

    Meng hurriedly asked why. Someone who had disembarked from the boat was already telling his family what happened.

    It turns out that a few days ago, they were sailing on the sea and encountered Japanese pirates on their way back, and were overtaken by the Japanese pirate ship.  The ships of Japanese pirates were built differently from ordinary merchant ships. They were suitable for sea pursuits and were flexible and fast. The Japanese pirates were extremely vicious. How could these ordinary merchant ships resist? If the personnel resisted even the slightest, they were killed on the spot and their bodies were thrown into the sea.  This time, these Japanese pirates seemed to want to capture people to build fortifications in their lair, so they were lucky enough to survive. A total of more than a dozen ships were robbed and their valuable goods were robbed. The remaining ships were destroyed and sunk in the sea, and hundreds of people were captured in total.  They were all locked up in the cargo hold. When they were about to escape, they encountered the warship of the Golden-faced Dragon King. After a fierce battle, the Japanese pirates were defeated. Those who died were killed and those who were killed were killed. The remaining ones jumped into the sea and escaped. The Golden-faced Dragon King rescued people including Zhen Yaoting.  The many people included escorted them back, and met the navy again on the way. The two sides had a face-to-face meeting. Due to the special circumstances, the commander-in-chief did not fight the Golden-faced Dragon King, but took all the people back, and the two sides sailed away on their own boats.

    During this catastrophe, the shipowners suffered a lot of losses, and naturally some of them died unfortunately. At this moment, cries could be heard nearby, but the person who told the story was very eloquent, like a storyteller, describing the thrilling events at that time.  , the golden-faced Dragon King was even more majestic and majestic by what he said. Everyone listened in rapt attention and kept cheering.

    Zhen Yaoting said a few words and then looked around: "Sister, is Mr. Pei here too?"

    Although he is the brother-in-law in name only, he is younger than Pei You'an and lacks confidence, so he calls him Mr. Pei and does not dare to call him brother-in-law.

    Jia Fu turned around and saw a crowd of people on the shore. She saw his figure standing on the bow of a naval warship. Nearby were the tall man and other local officials. A middle-aged man who looked like a military general must be Commander Li.  , led a group of guerrillas and generals behind him, who were meeting him with a respectful look. Pei You'an seemed to have been paying attention to this place, turned his head and glanced, and said something to the general, seeming to tell him to wait a moment, and then he went up  Arrived at the shore and came to Jiafu's side.

    Zhen Yaoting has always been a little reserved when it comes to Pei You'an. When he asked her how she was, she was busy saying yes. In order to show that she was really good, she even waved her arms.

    Pei You'an smiled, nodded, and turned to Meng and Jia Fu: "Mother-in-law, Fu'er, I still have some things to do here. It's best that Yaoting is fine. I'm relieved. I'll ask someone to take you home first. I'll tell you later.  I¡¯ll be back later.¡±

    Although Pei Youan was dressed in casual clothes today, his natural temperament and bright jade mountain made him stand out among the crowd. People nearby had noticed him for a long time, and seeing that he was not very old, even the governor Gao treated him with respect.  There have long been rumors in Quanzhou that Zhen, that night, Meng packed up the house for her daughter and son-in-law, and the two of them stayed. The next day, Pei Youan went out. Accompanied by Master Gao and General Li, he inspected the coastal defense, increased or decreased defense troops, and urged various places to jointly mobilize troops.  , encircling and suppressing the bandit leaders in Guangdong, busy, leaving early and returning late. Finally, on this day, news came that the bandit leader who had been causing trouble in Guangdong and Fujian for many years was captured and beheaded as a warning. After hearing the news, the people of Quanzhou rushed to tell each other.  On the day Pei You'an returned to the city, the city was full of celebrations. People rushed out of the streets to see the rumored elegance of Prime Minister Pei. Officials and local gentlemen also lined up to celebrate the banquet.  The box of family notes is full.

    That night, Pei You'an accompanied Jiafu and came out from his grandmother Hu's room to visit her. When they returned to their room, he changed his clothes and said that he had something else to do and that he might not be able to come back tonight, so that she didn't have to wait any longer.  Myself, I took a rest earlier.

    Jia Fu hugged his arm tightly and pouted: "Why are you so reluctant to let go? You have to go out all night and stay all night? Could it be that those people arranged a flower banquet again and invited some Tongyun Shiyan to call you Deng?"  Do you want to appreciate beauty, appraise and criticize?¡±

    Pei You'an rejected all those banquets on the grounds of mourning. Jiafu naturally knew that after seeing him coming, it was easy to get some free time today and she would go out again in the evening.  Having been with him day and night for so long, she felt that he seemed to have something on his mind tonight. It was different from the things he was busy with before. From the sound of it, he wanted to go out for a night, which made her feel distressed and a little unhappy. She knew that he always pampered her.  , no matter how much trouble he made, he would never really get angry, so he simply lost his temper with him.

    Pei You'an smiled, pinched her little mouth that was pouted like a morning glory, and then hugged the person, whispering comfort. After coaxing for a moment, Jiafu finally let go of his arm, but hugged her waist instead,  Looking up at him, he solemnly said: "Elder cousin, I know you have something to do, and I also know that I am useless and can't help you. But I want you to know that your matter is my matter, even if I can't help  I¡¯m busy, and I hope you won¡¯t hide anything from me. I¡¯m really not a child, I¡¯m your wife.¡±

    Pei Youan looked down at her, and the two looked at each other for a moment. He said softly, "I'll be back tomorrow. You can go to bed early."

    Jiafu suppressed the disappointment in her heart, slowly let go of her arms, and said with a smile: "I understand, then be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."

    Pei Youan raised his hand to support her head, lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, then turned around and left.

    How much weight does he still have on his shoulders?  And in his heart, how many secrets does he still have to bear alone?

    Jiafu watched his back go out, and a trace of frustration slowly emerged in her heart. She also guessed what happened to him tonight, but she couldn't tell herself. When she was sitting there in a daze, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching. She raised her eyes and saw Pei You'an.  It came back again.

    "Let's go, I'll take you with me."

    Pei Youan smiled at her and said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
