In the early morning, Yang Fan opened his eyes. He drank too much last night.
My mind went blank.
My shoulders feel so sore and my arms are numb.
Immediately, he saw a lot of clothes thrown haphazardly on the ground in front of the bed. Many of them are women's private clothes, such as bellybands and curtains, which are really eye-catching.
Only then did he notice that Zhen's heads on both shoulders were sleeping soundly.
Yang Fan carefully took his arms out from the willow waist on both sides, carefully climbed out of the bed, and shook his arms.
They were all numb and somewhat inoperable.
Hearing the movement in the inner bedroom, the maids opened the sliding door and filed in to help Yang Fan get dressed.
"Don't disturb them, let them have a good sleep." Yang Fan instructed.
Yang Fan got dressed and washed up.
Because I was hungover, I felt uncomfortable and had no interest in breakfast, so I simply drank a bowl of lotus seed porridge in the middle hall. He quickly put down the bowl, walked to the outside living room, and put on his coat.
He opened the hatch and walked to the bow to get some air.
"Yang Jun" Several people dressed as warriors bowed respectfully.
They are Sakurai Momo's bodyguards, and they have been waiting outside last night.
The lady didn't come out, so she obviously spent the night at Yang Jun's place.
They couldn't leave either, after all, they were responsible for the safety of the wife.
"Thank you." Yang Fan nodded.
Standing in the night wind all night is not something to enjoy.
"Go in, sit down, and have something to eat, Tao Zi hasn't gotten up yet." Yang Fan said.
After all, the living room inside is much better than outside, and there is also breakfast.
"Hi, thank you Yang Jun for your understanding." Several people bowed at ninety degrees.
Seeing the maid leading them into the living room for breakfast, Yang Fan took out a Huazi, lit a fire, and smoked while looking at the scenery on both sides of the Haihe River.
"Master," Zhang Geda heard that Yang Fan was up and hurried over to wait on him.
"How long does it take to get to Zhangjiawan? This night of driving rotation will take a lot of physical strength," Yang Fan asked.
"Sir, we'll be there in half an hour. Each of the soldiers has taken a rotation, but the time is not long, only half an hour, and their physical strength is not a problem. After landing, we can attack directly.
It's just dawn now, and it's the time to sleep the deepest. Lijiabao must be unprepared. It's a good time to attack suddenly.

"Are you all set up? When we get ashore, we must make a quick decision without delay. I can only give you half a day because the news has been leaked. The capital has heard the news. But they don't know that we can sail against the current. , leaving so fast, two days ahead of schedule.”
Yang Fan said with a solemn expression.
"Are you worried about the three thousand people in Yanqing in Xuanfu Town?" Zhang Geda was a veteran on the battlefield, and he reacted immediately. The master is worried that the emperor will mobilize the three thousand soldiers from Yanqing to Tongzhou to strengthen the defense of the canal.
In this way, we might bump into each other head on.
Because, once captured, the religious group and the pirate group would carry their property down the river, pick up the brothers left behind in Tianjin, and go directly to the sea.
These things are too hot to be left in Ming Dynasty. Yang Fan will put these belongings in Jeju Island. In the future, the proceeds from pirates and sea robberies will also be placed on Jeju Island.
If you want the pirate group and the religious group to retreat safely, someone needs to cut off the rear. Considering that these two regiments are temporarily organized, I am afraid that their combat effectiveness is not good.
Blocking is a technical job, and they may not be able to do it. Yang Fan decided to take a thousand servants to cut off the rear in person. Cover their retreat.
Zhangjiawan Town is a very prosperous town. This is the northern end of the Daming Grand Canal.
The government supplies were disembarked in Tongzhou. Private supplies were disembarked in Zhangjiawan. Separate public and private management.
It was just dawn. At such an early hour, the residents of Zhangjiawan Town had not yet gotten up, and the shops on the street were not open. There was only an old watchman, yawning and patrolling the streets with red eyes after staying up all night. See if there are any thieves who travel at night and return early.
It has to be said that in this small Zhangjiawan town, the conscientiousness and responsibility of the watchmen far exceed those in the capital. Because he gets two taels of silver a month.
The watchman in the capital only had five silver coins a month. Even for the sake of money, you have to work hard, otherwise you will lose your job, and there will be no place to get such a good job.
Zhangjiawan Town is famous for its wealth, and wages here are generally 30% higher than those in the capital.
Although everyone envies working here, everyone knows what their recruitment standards are. Every time we recruit people, many people from all over the world apply for the job, and in the end those who are hired away are all foreigners.
"The weather is dry and things are dry, be careful with the candles," the old watchman kept shouting.
state! state! state!
In the distance, a group of people wearing strange clothes came from the end of the street. The leader was a short man with gray hair and a shaved head.
This man had a sinister face and looked very fierce.
"Hey, stop, tell me, what do you do, where are you coming from, and where are you going. Are there any roads? Take out the household sticker and show it to me."
Zhangjiawan is not half the place where even the watchmen are so good.
If I say I will investigate you, I will investigate you. Don’t refuse to accept it. If you dare to look for trouble, I will soon let you know how to write the word regret. This old watchman was once a gangster. When he got old, he took refuge in Donglin and was arranged to work here.
Before the old watchman finished speaking, he stopped abruptly.
Inukai Hao drew his sword like lightning and wiped his neck.
The old watchman had committed murder and swindling all his life, and he had many lawsuits involving human lives. But when he came face to face with him, he pulled out the short knife from his clapper before it was too late, and his throat was cut. He pointed at Inukai Hiroshi with a look of horror, and said twitchingly. Speechless.
"You all, hurry up, don't let the pirates get the first step."
"Hi!"
On another street, a large group of pirates ran quickly towards the east end of Zhangjiawan Town, the Wubao of the Li family.
The outer wall of Li's Mansion is as thick as the wall of the Imperial City, fully two meters thick and five meters high. They are all built with large city bricks and glutinous rice juice. Very strong. There are also watchtowers at the four corners.
Yang Fan took the servants along the middle road and went straight to the gate of Li Mansion.
The Li family's gate is magnificent, with five rooms on the front, three of which are main doors, and a total of six doors. In front of the door are a pair of white marble stone lions, two meters high.
The twenty servants were all burly men, with their hands holding Yanling knives and looking at the people on the street warily.
When Yang Fan and his group arrived, two other people also gathered in front of the gate.
"Mr. Yang, what is the origin of this Li Mansion? This gate is even more majestic than the Tokugawa General's residence." Sakurai Momo, wearing women's armor and a cloak, followed closely beside Yang Fan.
"Hmph! He Li San is nothing. He is not even a pavilion elder. He has exceeded the limit by repairing this gate. If the adoptive father is still on stage and asks him about the crime of transgression, hmph, his head will be gone." Lin Yueru said contemptuously. said.
At this time, the servant at the door suddenly saw a black crowd of people coming in, all wearing strange-style armor, and was a little shocked.
Chang Sheng, the captain of Jia Ding, fought against Japanese pirates in North Korea when he was a boy. If you look closely, you will see that these people look more and more like Japanese pirates. They have big pie faces, squinty eyes, and short legs. Wearing a weird helmet.
"No, these are Japanese pirates. How did they get here?"
