Chapter 159: Anger (6K, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Drop rockets and burn ships." Xie Dongli stood on the observation deck on the fourth floor of the official ship, and orders were passed down one after another.
Situ Ying stood by his side, staring around vigilantly with a pair of big apricot eyes, for fear that an arrow would come at him.
I don't know if it's because it's too high, so no one has realized that there are people here, or if the precautions here are too good, and none of the feathered arrows and crossbow arrows fired from the enemy ships can reach this place.
Situ Yingsleeve was on guard for a long time, and he didn't have the opportunity to show his skills, so he couldn't help but feel a little like the brocade clothes were walking at night and the pearl was cast into the dark.
She clenched her fists, regretting that she didn't have a chance to show her skills, and worrying about the fact that she would be found to be a kung fu person.
A pair of slender and verdant eyebrows frowned slightly, and before she could fight with others, she was entangled in her heart.
Xie Dongli occasionally glanced back at Situ Yingsleeve, and saw that her tangled thoughts were written on her face, and the corners of his lips could not help but outline a pleasant arc, but when Situ Yingsleeve raised his eyes to look at it, he naturally calmed down and returned to his usual indifference and reserve.
The sky has gradually brightened, and the red sun seems to have jumped out from the bottom of the river, shining with thousands of morning glows, and the glow is reflected on Situ Ying's face, and she can't suppress her dazzling beauty for half a minute.
People who have seen Zhang's and Situ Darkincense say that they are stunning, but in Xie Donglian's eyes, there is only one Situ Yingsleeve from beginning to end.
He doesn't distinguish between beauty and ugliness, as long as it's her, whether it's beautiful or ugly, no one can surpass her.
Xie Dongli glanced at her deeply, and turned his head to look at the waters in the distance.
There was a fire ahead. The scene in front of me was like a hell of a nose.
Several of the opposing warships were blazing, and the fire was raging on the quiet river. With thick black smoke, it drifted into the sky that had just lit up.
Although there was a lot of water in the river, no one had the heart to use water to extinguish the fire, because everyone had to flee for their lives, and they didn't have time to go to the boat to put out the fire.
The only ironclad warship that didn't burn up was like a huge soldering iron, not only did no one outside dare to approach it, but everyone inside rushed to jump out.
It's just that they jumped out. It became the target of the archers of the Praetorian Guard of the official ship, and one long arrow after another was shot over, and nine times out of ten they were shot. Fall into the river.
The clear river water can no longer see its original face, it is red and gorgeous, and it has become a pool of blood.
Situ Ying listened to the crying and shouting, scolding and scolding, and watched the stumps flying sideways and the ship destroyed and people died. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
She covered half of her face with one hand. Stunned as he looked at the scene ahead, his other hand clenched tightly on the ship's mast, eager to cut a hole in the mast.
Sou!
Finally, a flaming feathered arrow from the enemy side found the right direction on their side and whistled from a distance.
Situ Yingsleeve saw it, put down the hand that was hiding his face, and pressed it tightly on the silver light soft sword on his waist, cheering up to intercept this feather arrow with fire.
But before she could draw the silver light soft sword at her waist, there seemed to be a strong wind blowing behind her.
A black-clad guard came out of nowhere. With a stroke of the long sword in his hand, he turned the flaming feather arrow in the direction of it. Drop straight down.
Whew!
The flaming feather arrow plunged down into the river, and the fire at the end of the arrow was soaked by the river water, and soon extinguished, leaving only a black ash floating on the surface of the river.
There were a few ripples on the surface of the river, and even the ashes were invisible.
Situ Yingsleeve turned her head and glanced at the black-clothed guard standing behind her and Xie Donglian.
She had never seen this man, and this man was not among the Praetorian Guards.
Xie Dongli nodded to the man, "Okay, let's go down." ”
The man bowed, retreated into the shadows of the ship, and soon vanished.
But Situ Yingsleeve knew that the man did not leave, but hid somewhere, and when Xie Dongli needed help, he would run out to rescue him unknowingly......
This is the legendary Dark Guard? Or a dead man?
"I didn't expect Lord Qincha to have such a powerful secret guard...... Situ Yingsleeve's eyes kept staring at the direction where the guard disappeared, and he retracted his hand from the mast of the ship, and said with envy.
If her brother had such a guard, she wouldn't have to worry about it all day......
Xie Dongli smiled, "I have no power to restrain the chicken, if there were no guards, I would have died a long time ago." ”
A family like the Three Marquis and Five Phases has a few capable secret guards to protect the most worthy of protection in the family.
“…… Not really, right? Situ Ying's sleeves were full of the silver light soft sword around his waist, but he was glad that he didn't show his kung fu in front of outsiders, "Isn't there still a Praetorian Guard?" ”
"They can only guard against gentlemen." Xie Dongli said indifferently, looking at the waters in front of him, seeing that the people on their side had already taken a small boat down to receive the results of the battle.
Of course, the dark guard is anti-villain.
Situ Ying nodded clearly, seeing that this water war was almost over, she wanted to see how her brother was doing, so she bowed like a man and said, "Since my lord has a guard, I don't need to make trouble here without me." ”
Xie Dongli didn't look back, just coughed twice, and rubbed the arm that had been dragged by Situ Ying's sleeve just now.
Situ Yingsleeve immediately lowered his head with guilt, embarrassed to leave.
Today, she is completely sure that the strange illness on Xie Dongli is related to her!
In the past, she was just speculating, but today she really put it into practice.
As soon as she pulled him, he immediately reacted unusually......
Situ Yingsleeve subconsciously peeked at his fingers, ten fingers were slender, as thin as an onion tube, how do you look at it, there is nothing special?
She put her hands behind her back and quietly took a step back, away from Xie Donglian.
The battle ahead was basically over, and Xie Donglian's mind turned to Situ Yingsleeve.
Sensing her alienation, he looked back at her, his long narrow tails flying diagonally into his sideburns, making his dark eyes even deeper.
"What's wrong?" He asked indifferently, seeing her look at the movement of her fingers. I secretly burned in my heart. - Looks like she's got it, right?
"Thank you...... Thank you, I have something to ask you. You have to tell me the truth......" Situ Yingsleeve didn't look up, and said hesitantly.
"What's the matter?" Whether to tell the truth or not depends on his mood...... And what the consequences will be.
"That...... That one...... It's your disease, isn't it...... Does it have anything to do with me? Situ Ying's head hung lower, and he couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to get into, and his heart was awkward to death.
Xie Dongli put away his smile and glanced at her lightly. Turning his gaze away, he said, "So what?" Isn't it? ”
Not again!
Situ Yingsleeve secretly slandered Xie Dongli in his heart.
He never spoke well, no matter what he asked. can give you ambiguity.
Say yes or no, will you die!
Situ Yingsleeve's roar could only be vented in her heart, and she had to put on a gentle and supple appearance on her face, and said, "If it really has something to do with me, I won't bother you in the future." You don't have to be sick anymore. ”
"Oh?" Xie Dongli's lips gradually pursed. The plump lips of the moon are almost pursed into a thin line. "You think if you don't bother me, I won't get sick?"
"Isn't it?" Situ Yingsleeve raised his head and glanced at Xie Donglian's arm, "Didn't you just accidentally pull your sleeve before......
If you really let her know that it is indeed related to her, as long as she touches her, she will have a rash, and this girl will really be separated from herself from thousands of mountains and rivers from now on......
Xie Dongli narrowed his narrow eyes and refused indifferently: "No." ”
"Huh?" Situ Ying was puzzled. "And what do you want?"
“…… Indeed, my illness was caused by you. But it's not just about you these days. Xie Dongli said seriously. Even he had to take it seriously," ...... Now no one else can come near me, and I get sick when I touch me. You say, how can you leave it alone? ”
"Huh?" Situ Yingsleeve was very surprised, and a pair of apricot eyes widened, "No one else can touch it?" How so? ”
"I don't know why. The first time it was because of you, and then it was because you got worse. After the third time, no one was allowed to come near me. I'm sick like this for you, you say, what should I do in this life? Xie Dongli put his hands behind his back, stood upright in front of Situ Yingsleeve, and said the truth and falsehood, but he actually said it without leaking.
Situ Yingsleeve bit her lip, feeling so guilty that she was about to lose her self-esteem.
If so, then she really is a sinner......
"So, you can't just walk away." Xie Dongli took a step forward and got closer to Situ Yingsleeve, "Shouldn't you find a way to cure my illness?" ”
Situ Yingsleeve nodded heavily, and made up his mind to ask the omnipotent master for help, "Don't worry, since this illness is caused by me, I will definitely not let it go." When I get back to the capital, I will find the best doctor for you......"
"No, you don't." Xie Dongli stretched out his hand to stop her, and said with a stern face: "You are the only one who knows the truth about my illness. If I let others know, will I still be a human being? ”
Situ Yingsleeve thought about it for a while, knowing that Xie Dongli couldn't let others get close from now on, wouldn't he be like a monk? couldn't help but feel even more apologetic, and swore an oath: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you find a prescription for healing." If your illness can't be cured, I will let Xiao Lei be your son in this life and send you to the end ......of your life."
Xie Dongli's face suddenly darkened by half.
He stared at Situ Yingsleeve for a while, she lowered her head, and he could only see the top of her head with a square scarf.
“…… You give me down! Don't come out again without my command! Xie Dongli felt a fire in his heart, and pointed to the direction of the staircase and said coldly.
Ah Shun, who had been hiding at the staircase and eavesdropping on the corner of the wall for a long time, only then did he increase his footsteps and climb up from the stairs, his face covered with black ash and smoke.
He said excitedly to Xie Dongxi: "My lord! The enemy ships were annihilated! We won! ”
Xie Dongli turned around from the observation deck and walked over, "How many prisoners have you captured?" Did the other party's head catch it? ”
"The little ones don't know. The leader of the Praetorian Guard had already gone down in a small boat himself. Ah Shun arched his hand and asked with concern, "My lord, are you okay?" As he spoke, he squinted and bowed his head deeply, longing for Situ Ying's sleeve, who was ten feet eight feet away from Xie Dongli.
Xie Dongli closed his eyes, felt the situation around him, and only opened his eyes after he was sure that he had really won a big victory. instructed Ah Shun: "Send Miss Situ back to the room first." After a pause, he added, "Without my order, no one in their cabin is allowed to come out." ”
"Yes!" Ah Shun immediately replied loudly. At the same time, he looked at Situ Yingsleeve, "Miss Situ, please come here." ”
Situ Yingsleeve looked at Xie Dongli and said hesitantly: "My lord, your illness is not in the way, right?" ”
Xie Dongli coughed twice and said, "I can't die." Let's go. ”
Speaking of this, Situ Yingsleeve had no choice but to leave with Ah Shun.
She went straight to Situ Chenlei's cabin.
As soon as he entered, Situ Yingsleeve was very surprised.
Because there are all over the room in the cabin. They were all sleeping maids, including Cai Qin and Cai Sang, who she ordered them to come over to take care of Situ Chenlei when she was leaving, and they all fell asleep on the ground.
Outside, the sound of killing was shocking, and this cabin was a thin plank. Not soundproofed at all. They can sleep too?
Situ Yingsleeve secretly wondered, bypassed the sleeping mother-in-law and maid on the ground, and came to Situ Chenlei's bedside.
Situ Chenlei wrapped his whole body in the quilt and curled up into a cocoon.
"Meow ......" Xiao Meow, who was squatting at the foot of Situ Chenlei's bed, called softly.
Situ Chenlei lifted the quilt with a snort, and when he saw Situ Yingsleeve looking at him with concern, he was immediately overjoyed, rushed over and grabbed her hand, and shouted, "Sister." Where have you been? I'm so worried about you! ”
"Do you hear the voices outside?" Situ Yingsleeve touched his head and carried him to the head of the bed and sat up.
Situ Chenlei nodded. whispered: "I heard it, it's so loud, I'm scared to death......"
"And how did they sleep?" Situ Ying's sleeves pointed at the maid on the ground, Nunu's mouth.
"I don't know." Situ Chenlei shook his head honestly, "As soon as I woke up, what I saw was like this, and I couldn't wake up no matter how I screamed." ”
"Really?" Situ Yingsleeve frowned, thought about it, and suddenly said loudly: "Cai Qin!" ”
“…… Who? Who called me? Cai Qin woke up from her sleep and sat up straight.
As soon as she woke up, all the mothers-in-law and maids on the ground also woke up, and sat up one by one, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand why I slept so deeply last night.
Situ Yingsleeve didn't want to pursue it, waved his hand at them, and said, "Get up, it's dawn." ”
It's a pity that there are Praetorian Guards standing at the door, and they can't go out to boil water and cook, so they take out snacks and wait for cold dry food to come out and make breakfast for Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei.
Situ Chenlei was so hungry that he ate two pieces of crystal taro chrysanthemum cake with a cup of overnight tea.
Situ Yingsleeve couldn't swallow, and leaned on the head of the bed alone, silently pondering how to explain Xie Donglian's illness to the master......
……
In the cabin on the second floor of the official ship, a room full of prisoners was dumped.
Xie Dongli sat behind the screen, listening to the report of the leader of the Praetorian Guard.
"My lord, there are a total of one hundred and eight corpses here, all of which were captured from enemy ships and committed suicide by poisoning." The leader gave Xie Dongli a point, "But judging by their outfits and the accent that I heard them speak before, it should be from Northern Qi." ”
"Our brothers lost five dead and twenty-three wounded. The adults are well commanded, and most of the brothers are fine. The leader said.
Xie Dongli smiled, "This is the luck of the brothers, and there is also His Majesty's blessing, so we can escape death this time." ”
"How?"
"Do you think I can decide that this official ship can be equipped with cannons?" Xie Dongli said indifferently, "Of course, His Majesty was thoughtful, so he didn't let us be slapped in the face by the northern barbarians." ”
If their boatload of people is destroyed by these enemy ships, it will be the face of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
Because they are Qincha, they represent the emperor of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, Emperor Yuanhong.
"Your Majesty is wise!" The leader of the Praetorian Guard was even more pleased, and bowed three times in the direction of the capital before getting up and saying, "My lord, are you still going to Gubei Town?" ”
"No, you can't go." Xie Dongli stood up, "The official ship was also damaged, so I want to stay here for a few more days and let the boatmen hurry up to overhaul it." ”
"Yes!" The leader of the Praetorian Guard was busy bowing down, and almost respected Xie Dongli as if he were a general in the army.
Xie Dongli waved his hand, "I don't understand military affairs, just talking about it on paper." This time, he was able to win a big victory, and he did not embarrass His Majesty, it was completely dependent on the ability of Vice General Wu. He didn't want to take credit, so he gave a huge military merit to Vice General Wu, the leader of the Praetorian Guard.
Because of the thin land and small number of people, the Eastern Yuan Kingdom paid special attention to the talents in the army. The reward for military merit is even more important.
With the merit of destroying enemy ships, the word "deputy" on his head. I should be able to remove it when I go back.
He is no longer Vice General Wu, but General Wu......
Vice General Wu trembled with joy, and knelt down for Xie Dongli on one leg. He arched his hand and said: "Lord Xie is above, please accept the bow of the last general!" In the future, the end will definitely be the head of Lord Xie! ”
Xie Dongli will be a person who will be a deputy minister in the future, of course he will not care about this little military merit, but it is different for people like Vice General Wu.
This feat, for him in the snow, of course, grateful.
Xie Dongli took care of the affairs of the enemy ship before coming up from the second floor.
I saw Ah Shun guarding the staircase on the third floor probing his brain. Displeasure asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"My lord, do you want to get off the boat?" Ah Shun hurriedly asked, "Miss Situ wants her mother-in-law to come out to cook." Do you think it's okay? ”
"Cooking?" Xie Dongli looked at the sky and found that it was almost noon, "Put down the boat and go to Gubei Town." ”
"Yes!" Ah Shun hurriedly responded. Go and set up the boat.
Their official boat was parked in the middle of the river. To get to Gubei Town, you have to take a small boat to the pier on the other side.
Xie Dongli returned to his cabin and called a Praetorian Guard guard to send a message to Situ Yingsleeve: "Please Miss Situ come over and talk." ”
Situ Yingsleeve heard that Xie Dongli had passed her, so she hurriedly followed.
"Master Xie, do you have something to do with me?"
Xie Dongli took out a booklet, threw it to her, and said, "I'm going to Gubei Town later, and I'll stay there for a few days." Look. Want to stay where you want. ”
Situ Yingsleeve opened the booklet and looked at it, it turned out to be an invitation letter jointly signed by the gentry officials and wealthy businessmen in a small town in Gubei. Please go to their mansion and stay there.
Situ Yingsleeve counted slightly, there were seventeen or eighteen, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue: "In such a small place as Gubei Town, there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." ”
Seeing that she was indispensable, Xie Dongli made up his own mind and said, "This time, due to the damage of the official ship, I want to stay here for a few more days to repair the ship." Let's pick three and stay for two days each. ”
"But listen to your lordship." Situ Ying bowed down and put back the booklet, and when he came back, he thought of Xie Donglian's illness again, and asked worriedly: "My lord, your illness, it doesn't matter, right?" ”
Xie Dongli's face was a little redder than before, and he didn't know if it was illness or heat...... Situ Yingsleeve secretly pondered.
"Nothing." Xie Dongli rolled up his sleeves as if unintentionally, revealing the large and small red rashes on his arms......
Situ Ying's sleeves were pinched when he saw it, and he felt so guilty that he stood there in a daze, forgetting to retreat.
Xie Dongxiao's depressed mood just now slowly improved again, he came back to his senses, and said indifferently: "Go to Gubei Town, Xiao Lei can follow me." You pretend to be a little guy and take care of me nearby with Ah Shun. ”
"Yes, sir." When Situ Yingsleeve heard that he was going to take care of Xie Dongli with Ah Shun, he had no suspicion at all. Besides, she originally wanted to travel in men's clothes, which was more convenient.
Xing Chong rushed back to his cabin, Situ Yingsleeve combed his hair again, wiped his face with yellow powder, covered up his crystal white and greasy complexion, and then changed into a blue and black arrow-sleeved robe, with a soft sword around his waist as a belt, and stepped on blue cloth on a white background and blue cloth on a thousand layers of blue cloud boots, looking in the mirror, he was also a heroic and sassy good man, and his heart was a little more happy.
When Situ Chenlei heard that he was going to get off the boat to go shopping, he cheered, slipped down and hugged Xiao Meow, kissed him fiercely, and said, "Little Meow!" We can finally get off the ship! ”
Situ Yingsleeve found that unconsciously, Xiao Lei became more and more outgoing and cheerful, and the expression on his face became more and more cheerful and comfortable.
When she came in from the outside just now, she knew that the river was almost cleaned up, and those enemy ships were burned to empty shelves, and they were all sunk at the bottom of the Qingjiang River, including those dead enemies, Xiao Lei went out now, and he would not be frightened, so he didn't stop him.
Xiao Lei changed his clothes, rushed out of the cabin with Xiao Meow in his arms, and went to find Ah Shun to take a boat.
Situ Yingsleeve stayed here and instructed the maid to pack a few cages for her and Xiao Lei and take them ashore.
Most of the maids and mothers-in-law around her will follow, leaving only two mothers-in-law on the boat to watch the luggage.
Soon everyone was ready to stop, took a small boat in batches, and went to the dock in Gubei Town.
Situ Yingsleeve pretended to be a little servant and stood behind Xie Dongli with Ah Shun.
Situ Chenlei stood beside Xie Dongli with Xiao Meow in his arms, looking curiously at the shore dock that was getting closer and closer
There were a lot of people there, and a lot of people came to greet them.
Seeing that their boat was about to dock, firecrackers immediately rang out, crackling and exploding, full of festive atmosphere.
Situ Yingsleeve looked ahead with a smile, seeing that Xiao Lei was not afraid of cowardice at all, but was eager to try, and he was even more grateful to Xie Dongli in his heart.
But Ah Shun looked at her from time to time, and he couldn't wait to stay away from her.
Because Situ Ying is tall and tall, wearing thousand-layer bottom Qingyun boots, he is actually half a head taller than Ah Shun.
Ah Shun was about to die at the thought of it, and he couldn't help but straighten his back.
Soon the boat was docked, and they stood on the pier in the small town of Gubei.
Qi Wenlin, the county magistrate of Gubei Town, held a black gauze hat, trembling and came over to salute, and when he raised his head, beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and the expression on his face was like a mournful examination.
"Qi Wenlin, are you guilty?" Xie Dongli asked with a straight face and very majestic.
The county official knelt on the ground with a thud, like a pendulum, and stammered: "The lower official is wronged!" ”
"Wronged? Ben Chincha's ship was attacked by warships in a place under your jurisdiction, and you dare to say that you were wronged? Xie Dongli sneered.
So many warships, including an ironclad warship, could appear unknowingly near the waters where the Qincha official ship stayed, and the magistrate here actually dared to tell him that he had been wronged?!
