Chapter 44: Borrowing a Boat
"I'm sorry, Ren Liang can't agree to Di Gongzi's request, because in the absence of soldiers, the soldiers in Yangzhou City are strictly forbidden to go to sea. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"After all, after the previous incident with Lord Xu Jingye, the pattern of the Yangzhou City Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is still in a tense state, if the troops are dispatched at this moment, it is easy to trigger the anger of the queen again."
"Therefore, Ren Rail can't gamble with the lives of 100,000 sailors in Yangzhou to accompany Di Gongzi to Persia to help, but if he provides grain and grass, Ren Rail will definitely meet all Di Gongzi's requirements in terms of friendship."
Under the bright stars in the middle of the night, at the cold pavilion of fallen leaves next to the river, Di Huaiying was sitting with Liu Renliang, the governor of Yangzhou, drinking and drinking, reflecting the celadon wine glass.
And listening to what Liu Renliang said and himself, Di Huaiying nodded secretly to express his understanding.
What's more, at noon today, this friend in front of me has helped him enough.
"But now you have seen the situation of Dali Temple, after the attack during the day, there are no more than sixty people in Dali Temple who can continue to fight, if you meet other people who stand in the way in the next voyage, I am afraid that this escort, Huaiying can only hate the sea."
"Then you mean that you want me to find some elite soldiers and gather the number of fast catches in Dali Temple?"
"In this way, those injured catchers can recuperate here with peace of mind, and when Huaiying and the others return, they can go to Chang'an to recover their lives through Yangzhou City."
Di Huaiying smiled and raised his glass towards Liu Renliang, and the crisp sound of celadon clattering lingered in his ears, but after seeing that Liu Renliang on one side had finished drinking, he hurriedly put down the glass, leaned sideways to Di Huaiying and asked again.
"There are not many people, and soldiers with less than 100 people can be lent to Brother Di as escorts, but with such a small number, can it really solve your urgent need to go to the Persian Empire?"
Looking at Di Huaiying's somewhat reserved expression, Liu Renliang knew the character of this best friend very well, so he was a little surprised to inquire about Di Huaiying's thoughts.
"Of course that won't work, unless you can lend Huaiying thirty warships as a foil in the name of aiding the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to send food."
"Of course, if you feel that thirty warships are too little, it is more comfortable to give more Huaiying."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Renliang was covered in a cold sweat, and he frowned and refused when he saw through the brocade clothes.
"What you said is even more terrifying, you are going to Yangzhou to deploy three out of ten warships in Yangzhou, if it is known by the Queen of Heaven, I am afraid that today next year will be the sacrifice day of Renrail!"
"Brother Liu's thoughts are a little extreme, this trip to Persia to escort the Tang envoy was originally approved by the Queen of Heaven, not to mention that there is the support of Dali Temple, if there is a problem, you can just push it on him."
"Besides, there is no need for you to stand on the thirty warships, and the name of going to the Persian Empire is also to deter those who stand in the way along the way, isn't it?"
"Don't have a soldier? Brother Di, this is a little drunk for moon viewing and wine tasting? Could it be that you really plan to get thirty grain ships over? ”
"I warn you, don't treat Yangzhou City as a big money!"
Seeing that Liu Renliang in front of him was a little furious, even Li Yuanfang beside Di Huaiying couldn't help but laugh softly at this moment, which caused Liu Renliang to look sideways when he saw this acquaintance again.
"Major General Li, when did you and Brother Di occupy a thief ship, after all, the grain of thirty warships is enough to cover half a year's harvest in Yangzhou City!"
"Brother Renliang's words are wrong, you and Master Di are friends who are irreversible, how can he open his mouth to you, Yuan Fang must have had other plans for Lord Di to find you to explain this matter."
"Then hurry up and give me a suitable reason, don't fool me as a stupid son of the landlord's family!"
"Hmm... Since Brother Liu needs to know its role before borrowing the boat, then let Huaiying come with you one by one......" (Liu Renliang: Don't start the topic!) I haven't said I'll lend you a boat yet! )

The early morning breeze scattered the green silk on his shoulders, and the crisp birdsong came from the window, waking up Mo Wushuang from a night's sleep.
What catches your eye is no longer a shaking and damp wooden plank, but a fragrant bamboo ceiling; Instead of the salty sea breeze blowing in from the window, the earthy aroma that accompanies the noise of the morning market is blowing.
"So Xiao Jiu, people have to learn to be content in this life, compared to the lonely and helpless life on the sea, the mortal dust that we usually abandon is so close."
Leaning on the head of the bed, Mo Wushuang couldn't help but sigh towards Luo Xiaojiu, who was curled up in a ball in the corner, and jumped off the edge of the bed to pick up the fresh fruit on the table.
It's good that this is the first time in a week that I've come across something that doesn't smell fishy......
"Sister, Xiao Jiu has something to report!"
Very surprised, Luo Xiaojiu, who had shrunk into a white velvet fur ball, showed his head at this moment, staring at Mo Wushuang with a look of enjoyment and said seriously.
"That Di Huaiying secretly ran out in the middle of the night with Li Yuanfang after escorting you back to the inn last night, and he must have stolen something good behind your back!"
Sneaking out in the middle of the night to eat something nice? At that time, it was already approaching, how could there be a market open?
Maybe it's just that Luo Xiaojiu couldn't go to the tower with him, so he held a grudge against Di Li and the others.
Mo Wushuang couldn't help but laugh when he heard Luo Xiaojiu's logic, after all, this little girl was still young, and if she knew the knowledge of adults, I am afraid it would take a long time.
It's just that the two of them went out in the middle of the night, which is really reverie......
Secretly thinking about Di Huaiying's appearance in a women's dress and wanting to refuse to return to the wilderness, Mo Wushuang snickered in his heart for no reason, and then felt goosebumps trembling to the ground.
Maybe... In the middle of the night, I went to the incense building on both sides of Qinhuai?
Well... After all, there has been a lot of pressure lately, and I really need to release it......
I don't know why, I always feel a little inexplicable in my heart......
"Knock knock!"
The sudden sound of the door interrupted Mo Wushuang's search for the truth, and at this moment, Di Huaiying's slightly lazy voice came from outside the door.
"Don't pretend that there is no one in the house, I have heard the sound of the conversation between Miss Wushuang and Luo Xiaojiu from the beginning, hurry up and pack up your clothes and go out with me to buy some things on the boat."
"Anyway, I slept so late yesterday, and after going out, I looked a little tired......" (Mo Wushuang: poof!) )
"Oh yes, it's tentatively scheduled that the ship of Dali Temple will set sail again in the future, so let's see what you need to prepare."
"Didn't I hear Luo Xiaojiu say that the injured catchers can temporarily stay in Yangzhou City to recuperate?"
"Are you hurt? Why didn't you say it last night in the building? ”
"There's no way, I didn't know if I drank too much last night, and I didn't find out until I got up that this month was really a lot of bleeding!"
“... Bah! Female hooligan! (Di Huaiying: What seems wrong?) )
