"one two three four five six seven eight!"
"Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."
In the back house of Feng Mansion.
A little maid is helping to count the beats.
A group of girls are doing strange actions.
"Sister, I really can't do it anymore!"
After a while, Daiyu was out of breath.
Tired and flushed.
Baochai was leisurely and contented, with a slight sweat on his forehead.
She turned around and saw Daiyu's appearance, smiled and encouraged:
"Half of the incense will burn out immediately, sister, just hold on!"
Qingwen also followed suit and advised while doing so:
"Girl, Uncle Feng said that exercising every day is good for your health!"
Xue Yan was younger and slightly out of breath, but still echoed:
"you do not say!"
"These days, the girl has been following the uncle's instructions on her diet and daily life, and her health is much better!"
Other maids also spoke out their encouragement.
"If Miss Lin persists, she will take a rest soon!"
Everyone knows it, for this girl.
Nothing is more important than your body.
Daiyu naturally understood, but she still complained endlessly.
She kicked and slapped her palms while lamenting:
"Oooh! But this shuttlecock exercise is so ugly!"
Daiyu knew that Feng Yibo was kind-hearted, so naturally she would not criticize him.
This shuttlecock exercise can only be blamed.
But these words immediately attracted the attention of Xiang Ling, the special maid from Feng Mansion who was leading the charge.
While doing standard movements, she retorted:
"What Miss Lin said is a bit off. My uncle made up this set of aerobics just because he saw us playing shuttlecock that day!"
"Although he asked us all to practice, who doesn't know that the uncle is doing it for the girl?"
Lin Daiyu immediately scoffed when she heard this.
There is no way, who made her weak.
Baochai also practices every time he comes over.
But a quarter of an hour was just a warm-up for her.
Doesn't it look like he wants to live or die?
Of course, luckily Feng Yibo didn't see it, otherwise Baochai would have been asked to practice more.
This shuttlecock exercise, which became popular in later generations, is only the most basic.
When Daiyu can keep up, there will be "Cowboys Are Busy", "Dragon Fist" and so on.
If Feng Yibo knew that Baochai was also involved, he would naturally not mind taking it out in advance.
Let you enjoy the treatment of additional training alone.
Here Daiyu works out and is so ecstatic.
The Zhen family on the other side was furious with the news.
Not long after the Zhen family's fleet and the fleet bearing the Zhen family's name disappeared.
The Quanzhou Guard sent a military message to the Nanjing Military Department.
"Recently, due to the closure of various ports, a large number of merchant ships have been congested at the ports of Ningbo and Quanzhou."
"During daily patrols of the Quanzhou Navy Division, a large number of Japanese pirates were discovered."
"Shortly afterwards, we received military information that nearly a hundred merchant ships were missing."
"This was suspected to be abducted by Japanese pirates, so the Quanzhou Navy Division strengthened the intensity of sea patrols to deter Japanese pirates."
At the signature, "Quanzhou Guard Commander Liu Zhao."
Zhen Yingjia looked at the news she had just received and said to herself with a puzzled expression:
"Is it really the Japanese pirates?"
"The Japanese pirates here in the south of the Yangtze River are all trash, but the Japanese pirates in the southeast have become a climate?"
At this moment, Zhen Youcai was called over.
"Master! Are you looking for me?"
Zhen Yingjia handed over the military report and asked still with doubts:
"Do you think this is true?"
Zhen Youcai frowned and read all the military reports, also looking puzzled.
"Master, this is indeed true."
He pondered for a moment and then said:
"This Liu Zhao must not dare to lie about such military information, but..."
"well!"
Zhen Yingjia heard that he hesitated to speak, sighed and said:
"You noticed that too, didn't you?"
"Um!"
Zhen Youcai nodded and said:
"Even if it was really Japanese pirates, why did they only target our Zhen family?"
Zhen Yingjia also meant this and frowned in thought after hearing this.
At this time, Zhen Youcai said again:
"Master, do you think this Liu Zhao did it?"
These words made Zhen Yingjia stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head.
"The Japanese pirates don't have this ability, but the Quanzhou Navy does?"
Zhen Yingjia couldn't sit still when she was irritable.
He stood up and paced back and forth, murmuring:
"Even if Liu Zhao is somewhat capable, he has only been in Quanzhou for half a year. What can he accomplish?"
These words opened Zhen Youcai's mind, his eyes lit up, and he said:
"Master, you said that Liu Zhao has always been in close contact with Feng Yuan. Could it be that..."
"You mean..."
When Zhen Yingjia heard Feng Yuan's words, she immediately narrowed her eyes.
After a long while, he said: "Has he learned Feng Yuan's method of training soldiers?"
"yes!"
Zhen Youcai nodded vigorously and said confidently:
"The elite soldiers that Feng Yuan trained in three months can defeat Japanese pirates with fewer soldiers."
"Liu Zhao has been here for half a year, and he might be able to train an elite soldier."
The more he talked, the more it made sense, and the more he talked, the more it made sense.
Finally, he concluded: "Then it is not impossible for him to quietly destroy our fleet!"
Zhen Yingjia thought about it and still felt something was wrong.
"Even if he has this ability, why does Liu Zhao want to deal with us?"
"Ah..." Zhen Youcai couldn't answer immediately.
The two discussed it for a long time, but in the end they were still hesitant to no avail.
Not long after Zhen Youcai left, Defu was called over again.
Zhen Yingjia asked directly: "How is Lin Ruhai doing? Is there any action?"
"No, I haven't been out since I went to Fengjiazhuang."
Defu shook his head, thought of something again, and said:
"It's just that our people wanted to sneak in, but they were caught by the villagers of Fengjiazhuang."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Zhen Yingjia remembered what she had just said with Zhen Youcai, nodded and said:
"It's normal that Feng Yuan is good at training troops."
After saying that, he asked: "Did they find anything?"
"No!"
Defu shook his head and said:
"The person I sent is a habitual thief, and he was sent to the government by Zhuang Ding."
"He was familiar with the business, spent a little money, and came out not long after."
Zhen Yingjia knew that he had done everything properly, nodded, and asked again:
"Did they send anyone to Duzhong?"
"No, they only sent people to Jinling twice."
Defu shook his head again and added:
"During this period, I had close contact with the Xue family and the Jia family, but no one from the two families has returned to the capital recently."
"You survived the catastrophe and learned how to cherish your blessings?"
Zhen Yingjia still didn't believe it, so she shook her head and denied herself:
"Maybe he is really a smart man? Tsk tsk!"
He smacked his lips and said regretfully:
"If I had known, I would have waited and not rushed to attack him."
"We had no choice at the beginning. Who asked him to collect all the salt information of the Salt Institute in the past 20 years!"
Telford heard this but disagreed, and recalled:
"If he hadn't taken any follow-up actions, I might have had to deal with him at that time."
After a pause, he said sinisterly: "Besides, even if he is a smart man, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better."
"Everyone who has passed through Yingtian Mansion and has a little bit of interest in Jinling knows about his poisoning."
Zhen Yingjia knew that Defu wanted to force himself, so he refused:
“Let’s wait until the storm has passed and then we’ll see what happens!”
