Chapter 428: The Rising Sun
Li Xiaoran looked at Xiao Mianhu's unconvinced face, and was relieved, he never found a suitable time to contact Pei Tingshan, the emperor changed generals, this opportunity cannot be missed.
"If you don't want the general to be infamous ......"
Xiao Mianhu snorted, and the words behind him did not come out.
"yes......"
Li Xiaoran sighed, wasn't this what he was worried about?
He actually knows very well that even if Pei Tingshan is stubborn and stubborn, no matter how proud he is, he will not be charged with a crime of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, which is a great crime condemned by the whole world, not to mention that he can't turn over in his own life, and the Pei family can't turn over forever, Pei Tingshan may want the emperor to die, but he doesn't want to get into trouble.
That's hard.
If Pei Tingshan's swords and soldiers do not move, how can they deal with the personal guards of the forbidden army brought by His Majesty?
Counting on the assassins under his hands, those assassins who have always been reluctant to use in order to kill the emperor, it is impossible to kill the forbidden army and take the emperor's head, he has been operating for many years, colluding with the old ministers of South Vietnam, and has a lot of wealth in his hands, of course, there are also a large number of dead soldiers, most of these people are from South Vietnam.
No matter which country there are die-hard people, now Yang Yu, the abolished emperor of Nanyue, is still living in the small courtyard of Babu Lane in Chang'an City and copying books every day. The reason why he endured it for a few years was precisely because Li Xiaoran found that this was an opportunity, so he sent people to contact those people and colluded to secretly support him.
Even if Li Xiaoran wanted to kill Shen Leng so much, he never used these people, he was not a reckless man or an idiot, he naturally knew the priorities of things, and knew what the overall situation was, and no matter how annoying Shen Leng was, he was just a small character.
When the emperor died, the world changed.
Shen Leng is dead, nothing will change.
However, Pei Tingshan was reluctant to directly use swords, Xiao Mianhu's seemingly casual sentence was actually Pei Tingshan's attitude.
What's not to be aware of.
"I heard that Your Majesty is going to Penglai Island Immortal Pavilion to pray for Daning."
Xiao Mianhu lowered his head and drank tea: "This eastward trip, Your Majesty also took Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain, the national teacher of Daning, Penglai Xiange is a holy land of Taoism, and it takes more than 30 miles to go to sea, Penglai Island is a group of hundreds and ten islands, only Xiange Island is the largest, some islands are connected to each other, and some are not connected, Xiange Island is an isolated island, but there is a chain bridge connected to Xianyu Island, if you want to go directly to Xiange Island, it will go around a long distance, and the reefs are crisscrossed, the big ship does not dare to approach, and the boat can not block the wind and waves, if you want to enter Xiange Island, you will first go to Xianyu Island, Cross the 120-meter chain bridge. ”
He spoke very carefully, as if talking to himself.
"Xianyu Island is very large, for the sake of Your Majesty's safety, in addition to my sword soldiers are responsible, the box soldiers in various counties and towns will also be used to guard against the roads along the way, and the box soldiers will always have some loose discipline."
He lowered his head and said to himself, "Do you say that prayers are really useful?" ”
Li Xiaoran said: "After all, it is Your Majesty's sincere love for the people, whether it is useful or not, the people of Daning will feel Your Majesty's heart, it is enough...... Xiange Island is precipitous, Your Majesty has to take the risk to go up, the people will naturally be grateful when they know it, and the people will be grateful to Your Majesty, so isn't the real effect of this prayer has been achieved? ”
Xiao Mianhu sighed: "I still have some important things, after all, I am on duty today, I dare not stay longer, thank you His Royal Highness the Prince for inviting me to drink tea, although I can't drink this tea, but I can see that this is a valuable lotus heart, the prince treats me kindly, I remember it." ”
After finishing speaking, he picked up his things and casually handed them over as a thank you and said goodbye.
He put on his hat and went downstairs, Li Xiaoran looked at Xun Zhi: "What does Mr. think?" ”
"There is nothing to do, what Xiao Mianhu said is naturally an opportunity, but such an obvious opportunity, can't Your Majesty see it himself? What kind of person is Your Majesty, do you really think that anyone can count him into it? ”
Li Xiaoran was a little depressed, of course he knew what kind of person His Majesty Li Chengtang was, the pattern in his chest was so big that the world could not be compared, his vision was accurate, and the world could not be compared, if he did not make mistakes in his life, and fought with the black warriors and then decided the world, that would be the most convincing emperor in the history of Daning, and even comparable to the founding ancestor.
"So Sir thinks it's not an opportunity at all."
"Of course not."
Xun Zhidao: "Your Majesty traveled this time, with eight thousand forbidden troops, although Yuan Shu did not accompany him but stayed in Chang'an, but Xiahou Zhi, the strongest general under Yuan Shu of Shantai, led the army, how strong is Xiahou Zhi's martial arts?" I only know that even Yutai said that when he was as old as Xiahouzhi, he might not be able to beat him, although it was a compliment, but Xiahouzhi's strength can be seen. ”
"In addition to the eight thousand forbidden army, there are hundreds of Ouchi guards, and no one has seen him make a move, and it is rumored that he can defeat Han Zhaozhi."
Xun glanced at Li Xiaoran and took a cup of tea.
"Xiange Island is so big, even if you add Xianyu Island, it is so big, eight thousand forbidden troops can seal the island tightly, unless tens of thousands of sword soldiers besiege it, those assassins want to get closer? A burst of feathered arrows can all be shot into hedgehogs, and you still want to kill Your Majesty? ”
Although Xun Zhi sought the emperor's life, he never disrespected the emperor, and when he mentioned the emperor, he was always addressed as His Majesty.
Li Xiaoran became even more depressed: "I have thought about what Mr. said, but I only think that there should be a glimmer of opportunity, and after listening to Mr., it seems that there is no glimmer of chance." ”
"Not necessarily."
Xun Zhi laughed and stroked his long beard: "Look at how to plan." ”
Li Xiaoran's eyes lit up.
There are still 300 miles away from Chaoyang City, the fleet from the south of Xinjiang continues to go east, the warships and cargo ships are endless, people look at the heart of fear, where they pass along the way, the people all know that this is the sailor fleet that has returned from the victory of the south Xinjiang, there are people on both sides of the river cheering and sending off, on the way, the sound of firecrackers does not stop, the fishermen's boats on the river venture to approach the big boat, throw some fresh fruit and ripe meat on the boat.
The soldiers shouted no, but the things that were thrown up could not be thrown back, because they would fall into the water and make the people feel cold, so the things that were thrown up were left.
Wang Kuohai was lucky, took a package, opened it and looked at a few pairs of well-embroidered insoles, as well as an enthusiastic love letter, although the girl who threw these things didn't know who her love letter would fall into, but she expressed admiration for a general, of course, she actually didn't know which general in the sailor, except for Shen Leng, Shen Leng can get the best, and it doesn't matter if others get it, it's just her fascination with soldiers.
Chen Ran was not convinced, and also went to the side of the boat to look down, hoping that he could also receive good luck.
With a snap, he caught a bag of things, but before he could turn around, another bag of things came up, and he couldn't dodge it, so he had to block it with his body.
"That uncle, pay attention, it's just a matter of sending eggs, you send raw eggs."
Chen Ran felt that half of his face was full of egg liquid.
A soldier with a half face of tomatoes next to him came over: "Match it for a while?" ”
Chen Ran glared at him: "I'm hungry for you." ”
The people support the army, which is the greatest sense of accomplishment for the soldiers.
A little farther away, there was a captain with a helpless face: "Eggs and tomatoes are enough, the lady over there sprinkled copper coins on the boat and smashed me in the face...... The eldest lady may think that our big boat is like a koi, and she still makes a wish. ”
Shen Leng, who happened to come over, sneered, and looked at the red mark on the captain's forehead, and even the words Daning Tongbao were about to be printed.
"Auntie's wish is sincere, and her hand strength is big enough."
He patted the lieutenant, "You can use your money to buy their tomato eggs." ”
The lieutenant thought for a while: "Forget it, I'm afraid that Team Chen will rub their faces against me." ”
It is not far from Chaoyang City, in fact, Shen Leng is still a little apprehensive in his heart, the situation in Eastern Xinjiang is complicated, and Pei Tingshan's attitude is unknown, he is not afraid of Pei Tingshan, but worried about Pei Tingshan's attitude towards Meng Changan.
Shen Leng didn't know that Meng Changan was coming, and if he knew, he would be even more worried.
Chen Ran handed Shen Leng an egg: "Come to one?" ”
Shen Leng: "You incubate it yourself." ”
Chen Ran gave him a blank look.
Wang Gendong, an honest man, stood aside and smirked, once a more upright person, now looking at this group of naughty mischievous people feel like brothers, halfway the brothers went to his house, it is not too smooth, anyway, everyone is going to go, and held a lively wedding that shocked the whole county, although nearly a month has passed, but Wang Gendong's eyes are wet every time he thinks about it.
After a lively day, Shen Leng left Wang Gendong's house with his brothers, and the team stopped by the river for three days, Shen Leng gave Wang Gendong a three-day special leave, if this matter was known by the adults of Yushitai, it would inevitably be a bunch of twists and turns, and it was not right to delay the army's itinerary because of one person, after all, His Majesty was still waiting in Dongjiang.
Chen Ran saw Wang Gendong smirking, and jumped on Wang Gendong's back: "Come, the general's back." ”
Wang Gendong: "Waist, waist ......"
Chen Ran rubbed half of his face of egg liquid on Wang Gendong's body: "You old cow, you have only been plowing for three days and resting for a month, is it still okay?" ”
Wang Gendong's face flushed: "What are you talking nonsense?" ”
Dewey said faintly beside him: "General Wang and I have been in the same room for a month, and he can always wake up with a smile this night." ”
Wang Kuohai looked worried: "Why do you keep watching General Wang sleep, and it's a night when you look at it?" ”
Dewey: "You stay away from Chen Ran in the future...... It turns out that he is a simple and honest person. ”
Wang Kuohai: "Why don't we have a room?" ”
Dewey: "The sound of your teeth grinding is too diuretic, so forget it." ”
Shen Leng: "I have to ask about this, your nightlife is so colorful?" ”
At this moment, a few ships came from the opposite side, hanging the battle flag of Daning, it seemed that it should be the river patrol warship of Eastern Xinjiang, and when the sailors were going east and they were going west, when they staggered, Shen Leng noticed that the soldiers on the several Xiongniu warships in Eastern Xinjiang were all standing on the deck, and everyone had their right fists crossed to their chests.
"Brothers of the Mariner!"
A Wupin general stood there and shouted: "The first battle in southern Xinjiang, hard work!" ”
"Military salute!"
A shout.
Bang!
All the soldiers of Eastern Xinjiang tapped their breastplates with their right fists.
In any case, everyone is a soldier, a soldier of Daning.
"Return the gift!"
Shen Leng walked to the side of the boat and stood solemnly, and the sailor's brothers all stood up straight, their right fists in their chests.
