Chapter 202: Heading South
Mutenyi's subordinates struggled for a long time before they used the dagger to cut the ropes that bound their bodies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 By the time they rowed back to shore, the large ships full of Liaodong Army had already entered the vast sea, and only the tall masts remained at the edge of the skyline.
Mutteni squinted at the distant ships and cursed hatefully. When the people around him saw that the master had suffered such a big loss, they were all silent and did not dare to speak out.
When calm returned to the sea, Muteni turned around without saying a word. Seeing this, the subordinate hurriedly ran over to lead his horse.
Mu Tengyi was about to get on his horse when he suddenly asked, "From here to Jinzhouwei, is it fast to ride a horse or take a boat?" ”
A subordinate cautiously replied: "It's a southerly wind blowing this season, so you should ride a horse faster." It's just ......"
Mu Tengyi frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!" What is it to hide and tuck? ”
The subordinate didn't dare to look at his face, and only whispered: "As soon as their ship is full, they will immediately leave for Jinzhouwei, and those who have been on the boat since the beginning are afraid that they have already arrived......"
Mu Tengyi said angrily: "Could it be that I watched Pei Minzhong leave with such people? Even if I can't stop it at that time, I can't ask him to replenish water and food smoothly in Jinzhou Weishun! ”
After that, he turned over and got on the horse, and he was going to whip the horse to go to Jinzhouwei.
The subordinates looked at each other, but they still ran out and persuaded them with more courage: "Jinzhouwei's food stock is not much, and I am afraid that it will be moved long ago." Even if they didn't take it at all, the ones that were already on the ship would be enough for them to last three or four days. By that time, I am afraid that they have already arrived in Huai'an, and they will naturally have as much grain as they want on King An's own territory......"
When Mu Tengyi heard this, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Can you get to Huai'an in three or four days?" ”
The subordinate replied: "Although the wind is blowing from the south now, this kind of lucky boat can go on eight winds, even if it can't go 60 miles, there are always 30 or 40 miles." In this way, it is not a problem to walk three or four hundred miles in a day. For the sake of today's plan, instead of thinking about how to stop Pei Shizi, it is better to think about how to explain the countermeasures to the king of Khan......"
Thinking of his father and his wolf-like brothers, Muteni sat down on his horse a little dejectedly. This expedition to Liaodong was arranged by his father against public opinion. I thought it was a light errand, but the credit was not small, but who knew that there was such a mistake.
"Let's go!" Mu Tengyi sighed, turned his horse's head, and rode towards Liaoyang City.

In the second half of the night, Pei Minzhong's boat also arrived at Jinzhouwei. He was glad to see that the ships that had arrived first had been replenished with fresh water and loaded with food.
He gave Lin Yingchun and the other officers a long look, and they hurriedly dodged away.
Pei Minzhong straightened up and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't panic, you deserve Pei's worship." If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to retreat in Liaodong, let alone help Prince An invite such elite soldiers! ”
Lin Yingchun said with a smile: "What we value is your means and prestige, and in the years you were in the Liaodong Army, we have also formed a love affair." Now that it is a troubled time, our brothers also want to defect to the Lord and make a career, and I hope that Pei Shizi can succeed! ”
Pei Minzhong said with a smile: "If it is fulfilled, I can't afford it." But when you get to Jinling, I will help you talk about it in front of the prince, and I won't let you have no way to serve the country with empty skills! ”
Lin Yingchun pointed to a map on the wall of the cabin and said: "Since we are going to Jinling, we don't have to go close to the shore all the way, just take the sea route, go all the way to the south, enter the Yangtze River estuary in Songjiang Mansion, and go directly to Jinling." If you don't stop on the way, you will arrive in about eight or nine days. ”
Pei Minzhong asked: "How many days can these food and drinking water last now?" ”
"Save some money, maybe six or seven days."
Pei Minzhong waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, although it is a big deal to go to Jinling to meet the prince, but after all, it is more important for the soldiers to eat well and take care of their bodies." Let's stop at Huai'an, which is very rich and prosperous, and it is time to treat it well. ”
Lin Yingchun nodded: "It's according to the arrangement of the prince." ”
At this time, a thousand families came and went: "The drinking water and food on each ship have been loaded, and they are ready to set sail." ”
Lin Yingchun asked Pei Minzhong: "Then let's go?" ”
Pei Minzhong smiled and nodded: "Okay." Suddenly, he said, "Wait until I'm done." ”
When everyone came out of the cabin, King Yu greeted him and asked with a smile on his face, "Shenzhi, shall we leave now?" I don't think there's a lot of food and drink, so we're ......."
Pei Minzhong looked at him and said with a smile: "I'm just the son of a little prince, how dare I call 'we' to the prince?" ”
Yuwang smiled: "You are my sister-in-law, they are all a family, what's not to do?" ”
Pei Minzhong said: "I want to take people back to Jinling now, and there will be many inconveniences along the way, so it is better to say goodbye to the prince here, and we will have a period later." ”
After that, he turned around and called Pei Rongzhen: "Go, send the prince and the people around the prince off the boat, and then take twenty taels of instruments out." ”
King Yu was shocked, he grabbed Pei Minzhong's sleeve tightly with both hands, and asked in a panic, "Shenzhi, what do you mean by this?" I'm not afraid of hard work on the road, I'm still waiting to go to Jinling with you and reunite with the third brother and three sisters! I'm your master's second brother, you can't be so arrogant! ”
Pei Minzhong snorted coldly and looked at King Yu playfully.
King Yu was furious by him, and stammered and asked, "You, you, what are you doing looking at me like this?" ”
Pei Minzhong said with a smile: "Lord Wang, what do you want to do if you want to go to Jinling?" Be honest and be a prince who doesn't care about anything, or are you ready to compete with Prince An? ”
King Yu was a little annoyed when he was guessed about what was going on, but at the moment, this great god couldn't afford to offend him no matter what. He had no choice but to smile stiffly: "I, I, naturally I am a person who does not care about things, and I can beg for food under the hands of the third child, just do it." ”
The smile on Pei Minzhong's face disappeared, and he said solemnly: "I can't take you to Jinling, you will die of this heart!" If you could have treated King An and Xuanhui a little bit well, I might have relented and saved you. But when you were in the palace, you didn't treat them as your biological brothers and sisters. Now that King An has settled down, it is impossible for me to take a person with such an embarrassing identity as you to disturb the prince's situation. Hello do it yourself! ”
He turned around and took the two bulging silver bags that Pei Rongzhen was holding, and threw them to King Yu's personal eunuch: "Take the silver and take your master to get off the boat quickly!" Don't blame my men for being ruthless! ”
