South Tang Haizhou

Li Hongji went out to sea by boat, except for Venerable White Lotus, he only brought a dozen personal guards with him, and these people have been with Li Hongji all year round, and their loyalty is definitely high enough.

In addition to these people, the sailors on the ship are also people under Li Hongji, because this ship is loaded with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and the king has always recognized money and not people, as long as they can afford to pay a price, they will accept any job.

Li Hongji set off from Haizhou to Pingzhou, in fact, the road was not far, but it took a lot of time to prepare the ship and the things on the ship.

This time, Li Hongji can be said to have raised his eyebrows, and everyone in the entire government and opposition knows about it. Yang Ying, the king of Zhennan, was beheaded for public display, and the party members completely surrendered.

Never thought of this possibility, most people thought that Yang Ying, the king of Zhennan, would definitely rebel and then swallow part of the Southern Tang territory and establish himself as king. In the end, he formed an alliance with the Great Zhou to jointly attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Society was in danger at that time. But...... I really didn't expect that Li Hongji and Li Hongmao, two straw bales, would solve this most difficult problem.

Li Hongji not only solved this most difficult problem, but also took the initiative to propose to go to the king valve to find workers and build fortifications for Shouzhou, everyone knows that the king valve has good craftsmanship, but because the king valve is north of Cangzhou, if you want to go to the king valve, you must pass through the territory of the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou will be stupid enough to let the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty pass smoothly.

Although it is possible to disguise yourself, it is not safe to do so. Not to mention that the people of Da Zhou will not let it go easily, and the people of the king will not agree to go like this, this is simply making money with their heads, which is too dangerous.

But the plan proposed by Li Hongji is very good, take the sea route from the Khitan bypass, so that you don't have to go through the Great Zhou boundary. Such a plan is still dangerous, but at least feasible, and it can even be said that the success rate is more than half.

In fact, this plan is very good, but everyone in the Khitan territory respects martial arts, although there are more Han people in the sixteen states of Youyun, but there are also many Khitan people. The Khitans did a lot of things like murder, arson, home and robbery, mainly because it was someone else's territory, and if they attacked these Khitans, it would definitely cause a big war.

Of course, Li Hongji will not say the real reason, but he is confident about the whole thing. But most of the officials in the court still think that Li Hongji does not have this strength, and it is impossible for him to bring the king's people back to Shouzhou, and this time he must be looking for death.

Li Hongji knew very well in his heart that he only needed to wait in Pingzhou to meet with the Wuyazi Dao Chief, as long as the two sides converged, there would be no enemies in the entire Khitan. After all, as soon as the kung fu of Jiuyang Burning Heaven was shot, all the Khitan people would think that the Wuyazi Dao Master was the Khitan royal family, how could they dare to attack the people of the royal family?

Li Hongji finally raised his eyebrows and exhaled once, this time he hoped to prove himself with practical actions, so that all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would shut up, and no one would dare to say that he was a straw bag.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Li Hongji was full of thoughts, and he felt extremely ashamed when he thought of the past. There were such good conditions before, he didn't understand why he was so idle at that time, and he only knew that he was nostalgic for Flower Street and Willow Lane all day long, and he didn't do anything serious at all.

"Venerable White Lotus, was the previous king really a bastard?"

Venerable White Lotus said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ashamed and brave, this is enough. Everything starts from scratch and nothing can't be done. ”

"The Southern Tang Dynasty is so in crisis, all I think about is having fun. This time, fortunately, the Taoist of Wuyazi pointed out the maze, and this king can be regarded as an upright person. Li Hongji said: "I used to feel that there was too much time, and I didn't know what to do all day long. But now I don't have enough time, I wish there were twenty-four hours in a day, or I wouldn't even have time to sleep. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry, the Southern Tang Dynasty is stable, Shouzhou is indestructible, Chai Rong will know how stupid he is if he fights two or three times, and then it will be the opportunity for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rise and counterattack the Great Zhou. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will become an excellent monarch as long as he continues like this. ”

Li Hongji was a little ashamed, but he still nodded reluctantly. If I had learned it earlier, there would have been no need to worry so much now.

In fact, Li Hongji still regrets it a little, he was very happy in the past when he had no heart and lungs, but now he has to worry about everything, and he can't think about having fun at any time, and his head is full of national events. What's wrong with you? Can't you get back that kind of happiness you had before?

Deep down, Li Hongji still longs to go back to the old days, but now that he has opened his mind, he can't have fun like before. He thinks that he has played too much and delayed a lot of big things before, if it weren't for this, how could Chai Rong dare to attack Shouzhou?

"Actually, being a straw bale is very happy, although I have become smarter and more mature now, but I am not happy at all......," Li Hongji said: "I really miss the days of being a straw bale, there is nothing in this world that can affect my mood of drinking, unless my father and emperor appoint someone else as the crown prince." Of course, it doesn't seem possible now, but I was just scared of that at the time. ”

Venerable White Lotus nodded and said, "So at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed not enlightened, and now many things have become clear, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also become the mainstay of our country, this feeling must be very happy, right?" No matter how happy he is when he is a straw bale, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to go back. ”

Li Hongji nodded, he really couldn't go back. Even if he was given a multiple-choice question, he wouldn't choose to go back to the way before.

"There's no going back...... I really can't go back. Li Hongji said: "Daoist Wuyazi is really harmful, and he actually taught me this straw bag well." He is the greatest noble person in my life, and I must treat him well in the future, and I hope he will not leave. ”

Venerable White Lotus said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to leave a master like the Boundless Son Dao Master. ”

"Try to ...... it"

"It's just as much as possible. Venerable White Lotus said, "By the way, how much does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about the royal lord?"

"I don't know much, I just know that the king valve is a place to sell things for money, they sell all high-grade weapons and armor, and the king valve's craftsmanship is the best, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. The only problem is that it is expensive, and ordering a set of weapons and armor in the king is several times higher than in other places. For ordinary people, it is too wasteful for ordinary soldiers to use these weapons and armor, so most of them are bought by rich people to wear for themselves. There was only one exception, and that was the iron cavalry of Yandao, the three thousand men and horses were all the best armor and weapons of the royal lord, and although their number was only three thousand, they were comparable to the combat strength of ten thousand people. ”

Venerable White Lotus waved his hand and said, "I don't know much, but your estimation of the iron cavalry of Yandao is still wrong, it is an almost invincible army." As long as it is on the plains, let these three thousand iron horsemen charge...... That would be a disaster. Of course, these horses are only responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial city, and they will not be easily dispatched, not to mention that the real owner of this iron horse is still Zong Xin, and no one can let them fight hard except Zong Xin. ”

"Of course, you don't need to explain Master Zongxin's awesomeness to me again. Li Hongji said: "Since you mentioned the king, you must have something to say, right?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart now, and the old man does have something to say. ”

"Speak. ”

Venerable White Lotus said: "The King Valve has always been the most mysterious gate valve, I don't know what their purpose is, I don't know what they want to do, the only thing I know is the information you just said. For a family that manufactures weapons and armor, does the prince want peace in the world, or is there a lot of strife?"

When Li Hongji was asked by the White Lotus Venerable, he suddenly felt a little weird. Sure enough, they are not smart enough, the king may not be a good thing, of course, the purpose of their weapons and armor is to sell them, but if the world does not fight, what do they sell?

In other words, the kings did not want the world to be peaceful, they wanted to fight everywhere so that their business could continue.

"Venerable White Lotus reminds me, but what does this matter have to do with me? ”

Venerable White Lotus said: "This is the problem, the royal lord has always been in a state of secrecy, almost just selling things to others, and I have hardly heard of the royal lord's people going to other places to help others install the city's defense equipment. So what the old man wants to say is whether this trip will succeed or not, it is not yet known. ”

"Yes, too...... Now it is only necessary to see if this shipload of gold, silver and jewelry is enough. Li Hongji suddenly said: "This wind is really cold, I really don't like the weather in early spring, it is raining and thundering everywhere." ”

"The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the people of Li are not worried, hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planted the fields? Why did he forget it so quickly?"

"I didn't forget, I just didn't like it. ”

It's still early, but it's bad. Especially in the vast sea, Li Hongji could feel the bump of the ship's hull, and the whole person was uncomfortable. Because the sky is dark and oppressive, and there is light rain from time to time, this kind of weather is really insecure in the sea.

'Boom~~'

A bolt of lightning fell, and it looked like it was quite far away, but Li Hongji felt that it was not far away. Such weather on the surface of the sea made his heart very heavy. I thought about going back to sleep in the cabin, but how could I sleep in such a situation?

The wind is getting stronger and the waves are getting bigger, which makes everyone feel bad. Because it was Li Hongji, because his water quality was not good, he was really worried that the boat would capsize, and because there were so many things in the boat...... If the ship capsizes, he'll lose a lot.

"Venerable White Lotus, the wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, can this ship hold on? There won't be such a strong wind and rain in the early spring. ”

Venerable White Lotus said: "Yes, if it's just a small wind and small waves, now these winds and waves are indeed a little abnormal. ”

"Will the boat hold up?"

"I don't know, I don't go to sea very often. ”

"Daoist Commander Wuyazi bless, don't let the boat capsize. Li Hongji was a little worried at this time, because he was finally able to show off his might in front of the civil and military officials, and he must not have a problem at such a time, if he was not defeated by the enemy, but capsized at sea and the task was not completed...... It's a shame.

The clouds are getting closer, the wind and rain are getting stronger, and wave after wave is pushing the boat left and right. If it was a normal time, the ship would still be able to hold out. But this time Li Hongji brought too much gold, silver and jewelry on the ship, the hull was too heavy, and the goods in the hull began to shake when it shook.

After holding out for a few hours, the cabin had been smashed out of the hole by some cargo, and the sea poured in, and the sea kept pouring in. Li Hongji didn't know it at first, but just watched the sailors work, but as a result, the hull of the ship became lower and lower, and finally sank directly into the sea.

Li Hongji and Venerable White Lotus jumped off the boat first, although they were reluctant, but it was impossible for manpower to compete with the sky, and they had already left before the hull of the ship was completely immersed in the water. Venerable White Lotus escorted Li Hongji all the way to the shore, and almost died of exhaustion at sea.

Li Hongji cried so much that he didn't know what to do. I finally found an opportunity, but it sank to the bottom of the sea right in front of my eyes.
