Chapter 43: The Abandoned Son
"You said that they used the Iron Ox embedded in the bottom of the ship to tear their cabin to pieces, so that the ship's hull was damaged and the gravity of the Iron Bull sank to the bottom of the sea?"
"It's an incredible tactic, so how did you talk about the iron ox being transported to the middle of the sea?"
"Could it be that the reason why your ship can dive into the sea is because of this iron bull?"
In the familiar Yangzhou City, in the familiar Tower, Mo Wushuang and Di Huaiying sat around the dining table together, excitedly asking Liu Renliang about the tactics of destroying the Persian fleet today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's no wonder that the peerless girl has always followed Di Gongzi's side as a guard, and today I really have a wisdom that ordinary women don't have."
It can be regarded as flattery, but today's Mo Wushuang has just survived the catastrophe, and it is more comfortable to listen to than in the past.
"Brother Liu doesn't have to praise the peerless girl anymore, it's better to rest earlier according to Huaiying's opinion today, after all, this time at sea is indeed a little tired and tight."
"Wait a few days to return from the direction of the Anxi Dadu Protectorate, how about Huaiying and the people of Dali Temple toast you."
Saying that, Di Huaiying stood up and saluted the officials of Yangzhou City present, and after a while, he helped the somewhat drunk Mo Wushuang back to the inn where he was temporarily resting, and at this moment, in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, Li Yuanfang was drinking alone, facing the cold moonlight with a little loneliness. (Uncle: Were you expecting something just now?) )
"Feel better now?"
"The herbs that Liu Renliang instructed to be prepared by someone are indeed of some use, and now most people can barely stand up."
Li Yuanfang took a sip of turbid tea, and when he saw Di Huaiying's figure coming over, he pushed the cup and handed it to the comer.
"I'm sorry, this time... Yuan Fang didn't come in handy again. ”
"Li Shenzhu doesn't need to blame himself, after all, everyone has lived in Chang'an for a long time, and it is inevitable that they are not familiar with such incidents as water."
"What's more, Huaiying was also a little ill-considered at the beginning, and didn't pay attention to this situation, so if you really want to blame, please let Huaiying replace the wine with tea to make amends."
After the words fell, he raised his head and drank it all, and when Di Huaiying lowered his head and looked at Li Yuanfang again, the latter filled the empty cup in his palm.
"Master Di doesn't have to be restrained when he speaks, since the reconciliation in Dali Temple, you and I are still drinking alone for the first time, how about relaxing and being brothers?"
"Don't dare, I'm afraid that the peerless girl will beat me up when she wakes up."
Di Huaiying's head shook like a rattle, and after looking left and right, he really saw Luo Xiaojiu's bright eyes in the living room next to Mo Wushuang, which felt like a small work that was enough to break the news.
"Hehe, it's not that you take a stand and ask some thoughts about this trip, what are you afraid of that Mo Wushuang doing?"
"The idea for this trip?"
"That's right, when I was hiding in the cabin today, I knew everything that was going on outside, but I still couldn't figure out some questions."
"For example, today's Persian veteran named Ulug accurately captured our sailing route and time, causing the ship of Dali Temple to be almost wiped out."
"Are these really just what those Persian officials in Chang'an City can predict, or maybe the remnants of Zoroastrianism in Chang'an City are manipulating, so why would they let us live in front of the dock?"
"In addition, in the translation of the little doll of Piruth in the cabin, the words of the veteran general named Ulug when he fought with Apo reveal that there are dark clouds surging in the Persian Empire at this moment, so is it the right thing for us to escort Piruth's master and servant?"
"Obviously, the two saints are now eager to consolidate the position of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in the Great Xia Realm, but why did they choose this most difficult path?"
Faced with Li Yuanfang's question, Di Huaiying's expression was obviously a little hidden, maybe it was not deliberate, so he had to cough lightly twice at this moment and explain to Li Yuanfang.
"These are not things we should know, Li Shenzhuo just needs to remember to send Ah Pu and the two to the Persian Governor's Mansion safely, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us."
"Isn't it irrelevant? I don't know why I always feel that there is a third-party force messing with this escort mission, and even the judgment of the two saints is using us intentionally or unintentionally to fish out that dark force. ”
"And the catch of our 100 Dali Temple is like bait......"
"Stop!" Di Huaiying raised his hand in time to stop Li Yuanfang's question, and after a little thought, he took out a warrant from his arms and put it in front of him.
"Do you think it's a coincidence that the two times we met someone escorted?"
"Do you think that so many troops and warships can really be borrowed from Liu Renliang with just one letter?"
"Li Shenzhuo here, I can tell you very clearly that Lord Siqing has never tried to abandon us, but the Zoroastrian team brought by Feng Lei was a complete accident, and our task is only to escort the Tang envoy back to the Great Xia Realm to accept the position of Persian governor."
"Then why didn't you send an army to escort it, but only send more than a hundred people to Dali Temple to catch it? Or it can be understood that at the beginning, the second saint bento was Pi Ruth's master and servant, and he was just an outcast! ”
Li Yuanfang's expression was obviously a little angry, and in his feeling, the more than 100 people who escorted the abandoned son were at the same height.
What's more, the innocent smile and the moment of comforting herself in the cabin of Pi Ruth have already made this iron man unable to give up.
"Then Li Yuanfang, do you say that me, you, and the Wushuang girl are also outcasts?"
"For the Dali Temple that is being rebuilt now, you know best what the temple thinks of the three of us."
"In addition, at this moment, far away on the battlefields of Baekje and Goguryeo, the energy and army of the two sages are invested there, if it weren't for Lord Siqing to intercede, I am afraid that the master and servant of Pi Rusi will stay in Chang'an City and will not be able to meet the queen of heaven for the rest of their lives."
"What's more, it is already a kind of tolerance for them to ask troops to go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to help the Persian Empire resist the invasion of the Saracen Empire."
"At the very least, it is much luckier to let them return to the land of their homeland with hope than to strangle them in that cage in Chang'an City."
After saying that, Di Huaiying got up and flicked the dust on his shoulder, and was just about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by Li Yuanfang behind him frowning.
"You've just come back, where are you going?"
"One is to calm you down, because mere personal feelings can't make the mission go ahead."
"Second, your words just now reminded me that there are some things that Huaiying still has to discuss with Liu Renliang."
"Borrowed soldiers?" Li Yuanfang estimated the number of people who could still fight in Dali Temple at this time, and raised his eyebrows and asked Di Huaiying's slender back.
"Hopefully, at least we'll have the opportunity to give it a try."
With a deep sigh, Di Huaiying's figure disappeared at the gate of the inn, and before Li Yuanfang could smile bitterly that he was reckless again, he didn't expect Di Huaiying to hurry back from outside the door again.
"That's... Can you send me to the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, I don't dare to go alone when it's dark outside......"
