Chapter 493 New Discovery in Pirates

"Since you have already made up your mind, I have only one sentence for you - whenever you want, save your own life. I don't care if you take revenge or not. Your survival is the most important thing to me." Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice. .

"Don't worry, I still know which is more important. It's just that I'm also the governor now. I have military power at hand, and I have a great opportunity here. If I don't do that thing again, I'm still a man." Is it?" Cui Pu also hugged her tightly, gnashing his teeth in a low voice.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded and stopped talking.

It is bound to be extremely cumbersome to spread the wisdom of the people and open schools everywhere.Fortunately, now he doesn't have to do anything, he just remotely controls the prefect of Guangzhou to run around here and there, but he only needs to move his fingers to pay some money, and then point his feet.Seeing other people following in his footsteps and being as busy as a dog as he was back then, Cui Pu was in a great mood.

Just as schools were blooming everywhere in Guangzhou, Cui Pu quietly sent Hu San to the coast to recruit [-] fishermen to enlist in the army, and then began training by the sea.

At this time, the Xingtang Dynasty did not have a navy, and even the navy was pitifully small, which is why pirates are so rampant now.Every time a pirate commits a crime, it takes a long time for the news to reach the land.When the government got the news, and then organized officers and soldiers to suppress it, the gang of thieves had already taken a boat and hid behind some sea reef.The government can only go around in a boat, even if it is to explain to the people.In the event of bad weather, even officers and soldiers are reluctant to go to sea to investigate.

Therefore, these pirates have nothing to fear, and they have done countless murders and robbery.

Cui Pu's personal grievances towards the pirates have been brewing and fermenting in his heart, and now coupled with his sympathy for the common people, this thought in his heart can't be hidden naturally.

Arriving in Dongyue, a small group of intensively trained marines was dispatched, and Cui Pu gave it to Master Jianzhen as a gift.Master Jianzhen thanked Cui Pu gratefully.

This time, they made careful preparations, and through Cui Pu, they bought a disused military ship from Liu Julin, an interview envoy of Lingnan Road. A total of 85 craftsmen including embroiderers, repairing texts and engraving steles, and more than 100 people set off again.As a result, before going to sea, the ship sank in a storm at Langgoupu at the mouth of the Yangtze River.Fortunately, the fifty navy were there, and they acted in time to rescue all the people on board.

Faced with this incident, Master Jianzhen was still not discouraged.After ordering the ship to be repaired, they sailed to Lantau Island to wait for a favorable wind.When the weather was favorable, the boat set off from Lantau Island again. Unexpectedly, it encountered a big wave again.

"It's all right now. We've encountered two big storms in succession. Let's see if he's scared to the point of crying!" Cui Pu gritted his teeth and said after hearing the news.

But even though he said so, he immediately dispatched his immature naval officer ship to the rescue.

Fortunately, these people have been trained for half a year, and they already have certain countermeasures for the stormy weather at sea.Coupled with the military physique, he is very able to endure hardships and stand hard work.However, after three days of search and rescue at sea, they found Master Jianzhen and his party huddled on a deserted island, and rescued them to Mingzhou along the wind, and sent them to Ashoka Temple in Shanshan for a temporary stay.

"Master Jianzhen asked his subordinates to convey his gratitude to the governor on his behalf. He said that the navy you cultivated is very useful. If they hadn't escorted them all the way, they would have been swallowed alive by the wind and waves at sea. So, now he will return these people to you first, and I hope you will continue to help him train. He will come to pick up the people when he sets off to the East next time. Of course, you don’t have to worry about the cost, he will send people to come to give it to you."

Hearing these words from the returning navy leader, Cui Pu was so angry that he almost jumped up.

"It's all like this, and he still hasn't given up? He asked me to help him train the navy again! He has a good idea! This old monk is really not afraid of death!"

He changed his name from great monk to old monk, which shows that he is really angry.

Mu Jiaojiao raised his eyebrows, and secretly said in his heart: Are you angry now?This is the second time!If you continue to be so angry, how much more angry will you have to be in the future, especially the fifth trip to the east, it will be miserable.I'm afraid you're going to go crazy when the time comes!

Cui Pu jumped up and down in frustration for a long time, and finally calmed down, then asked again: "Now, what is he going to do? Don't tell me that he is going to prepare for the next trip to the east again!"

"Not really. After arriving at the Ashoka Temple, temples in Yuezhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Xuanzhou came to invite him to give lectures on the precepts. He has already agreed, and he plans to go on tour after the beginning of spring."

Well, after the last trip to the east failed, he also started to preach scriptures everywhere.While preaching the scriptures, he continued to prepare for the eastward journey.If he failed again this time, he continued to lecture and prepare.

"Why does this old monk have such a big heart?" Cui Pu felt that he was almost dying of anxiety for him.

He still thinks that he is big enough!As a result, in front of this great monk, he was willing to bow down.

Seeing this, the navy leader asked in a low voice: "Then those fifty people, shall we still accept them?"

"Accept it, why not? If I don't accept it, what if he goes into the sea boldly next year, and no one will escort him?" Cui Pu said angrily.

The navy leader quickly bowed his head and went out.

Only then did Mu Jiaojiao slowly walk to his side. "Okay, don't be angry. Master Jianzhen has such a temperament, and you didn't just know it today."

"I know, I know, but now he is clearly gambling with his own life, which is too risky!" Cui Pu lowly exclaimed.

When he learned that Jianzhen was going eastward, he just said it casually and didn't take it seriously.However, what happened this time was really scary, how could he not worry about that great monk?As a result, he was anxious to death here, but he didn't care at all.If you fail once, plan for the next one. Anyway, it is repeated failures and perseverance.This perseverance almost moved him!

"Just admit it!" Mu Jiaojiao had nothing to comfort him now.

Cui Pu pursed his lips: "Now, I can only step up the training of this group of people and let them grow up as soon as possible!"

look!What he said was powerful, but in his heart he was still thinking about others!
Mu Jiaojiao shook his head, he could only pull the corners of his mouth into a smile.

In a blink of an eye, Tianbao's two years have passed.

In the three years since he arrived at Tianbao, Master Jianzhen began to prepare for the third trip to the east.

It's a pity that before the operation started this time, some monks from Yuezhou went to the government to sue the Japanese monk Rong Rui for luring Jianzhen to the east.The local government believed it was true, so they arrested Rong Rui and planned to send him to Chang'an for questioning.Master Jianzhen and his party hurried to Cui Pu for help.

After Cui Pu heard the news, he immediately wrote a letter to the government along the way, and at least rescued Rong Rui in Hangzhou.

Then, Jianzhen began to arrange for people to go to Fuzhou to buy ships and supplies for the Dongdu.

He still didn't intend to give up.

"I don't care anymore, I really don't care!"

After hearing the news, Cui Pu went completely insane.

"This old monk insists on seeking death, no matter what other people obstruct, what else can I say? I don't care about anything, he can do whatever he likes!"

A few days after the words were spoken, Hu Sanyi came back from the outside, and after saying a word to him, the two immediately closed the door and muttered for a long time.

At night, Cui Pu pestered Mu Jiaojiao all the time to make out.

Mu Jiaojiao was so tormented by him that his whole body became weak, and at the end he was in a daze, not knowing whether it was a dream or waking up.

In a daze, she vaguely heard him say in her ear: "I'm not at the house for the past two days, and the children will be left to you to look after. If they are disobedient, you can write things down and come back to me Teach them a lesson!"

"Oh." Mu Jiaojiao was so sleepy that he just wanted to sleep, so he just responded perfunctorily and turned over and fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, the pillow was already empty.

After getting up and grooming, the eldest lady came over to say hello.As soon as the little lady entered the door, she turned her head around, not knowing what she was looking for.

Mu Jiaojiao touched her little face: "What are you looking for, little lady?"

"Father..." the little lady said in a childish voice.

Oh, by the way, because the clumsy little lady is the most painful, Cui Pu loves her very much every time he sees her.Every day when the children came to say hello, he would definitely hug her to be affectionate.After a long time, the little lady got used to being hugged by Cui Pu as soon as she entered the door.Even when she was just learning to speak, the first person she called out was Father!This is so gratifying to Cui Pu, how can he not take this daughter into his heart?

As soon as Cui Pu disappeared after entering the door today, the little lady naturally became anxious.

Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile: "It's okay, Dad has something to go out, and he will be back in two days."

"Oh." The little lady nodded, but there was obviously a bit of frustration on her little face.

But who would have thought that there would be no news of Cui Pu's visit for five or six days.Now, not to mention the little lady, even the eldest lady Da Langjun can't sit still.

"Miss, it's not good. Eldest lady and Mr. Da Lang ran to the stable and pulled the horse out, saying they were going to find Mr. Hong!" Hong Dou ran in panting and shouted.

Mu Jiaojiao was startled, and hurriedly ran towards the stable.

At this time, the sister and brother of the eldest lady had already mounted the horseback.But since the reins were still held in their hands, it was useless for them to shout.The eldest lady was so angry that she flicked the whip: "Don't think that I dare not do it! Get out of here quickly, or I will really hit you!"

"Who are you going to hit?" Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.

The eldest lady was taken aback when she heard the words, and quickly put down the whip in her hand. "Mother, why did you come here?"

"If you don't come again, wait for you to make a mess in the house?" Mu Jiaojiao snorted coldly.

"I just want to find Father. He hasn't heard from him for several days! I'm worried!" the eldest lady yelled.

"You're worried, but do you know where he is now? How do you plan to find it? Ride around the streets, grab a man and ask him if he's seen your father?" Mu Jiaojiao asked coldly.

When the eldest lady froze, her face dropped. "I'm really worried about Dad!"

"I'm worried that he didn't do that. Come down!" Mu Jiaojiao said, and stepped forward to bring her daughter down.

But the eldest lady still held on tightly to the rein and refused to let go.

The mother and daughter were entangled, when a servant outside suddenly ran in and said, "My lady, my lady, your husband, your husband is back!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The eldest lady also jumped off the horse in a hurry, and ran towards the door happily.

But, before they greeted him, Cui Pu had already entered.

He smelled of wet sea water, with a disheveled bun and a messy beard.But these are not the main thing, the main thing is - along the way, he exuded a cold and intimidating aura, which shocked even the eldest lady.

"Father..." She couldn't help standing still, and called out in a low voice.

Cui Pu acted as if he had never heard of it.He walked up to Mu Jiaojiao, grabbed her hand, and dragged her back.
