Chapter 347: Going to a Thousand Miles of Smoke and Waves (2-in-1)
The upheaval in Beijing naturally also affected the Lishui side.
Emperor Jianzhao is Li Chengyun's uncle, and he has always taken good care of him, and the death of the emperor's uncle made Li Chengyun very low.
But in this situation, he can't go back to Beijing to pay respects.
The regent prince Yang Haoyu has long had a feud with him, Li Chengyun is unwilling to return to Beijing and let him knead it, moreover, so many people sacrifice their lives to save him, Li Chengyun has always had clear grievances and grievances, and it is impossible to ignore everyone.
After a long talk with Ji Nantang and others, who rushed to leave the water, Li Chengyun decided to stay out of the water temporarily on the grounds of injury and illness, and Du Yuanpu led a team of elites to quietly return to Beijing to contact relatives and friends and settle his family.
Tong Yongnian won a complete victory in this expedition to Dongyi, annihilating thousands of enemies, killing the enemy general Gao Senxiong, and scuttling hundreds of Dongyi warships.
Dongyi's domestic emptiness, coupled with the hasty response to the war, in the end, Yanshan was forced to abandon the main island of Longchuan Road and lead his troops to retreat to other islands.
Ji Jiajun's side was not familiar with the geographical environment of the Dongyi Islands, so he asked Yanshan to escape. Tong Yongnian immediately divided his troops at sea, blocked the news, and sent Qin Liangyu to escort the first batch of booty back to China.
Until Yan Shan asked Lieden for help, he was so angry that he gathered the rest of his troops to prepare for a counterattack, and Tong Yongnian also looted Yanshan's family foundation, completed the task, and led the fleet back with a full load.
Li Chengcheng had just begun to develop here, and it cost money to recruit soldiers and fight wars, and the daily silver was spent like flowing water, and the pressure was greatly relieved after winning this battle.
It's easy to talk about other things, there are Ji Nantang's subordinates. Not to mention that it is impregnable from the water, and the idle enemy cannot attack it, everything is going according to plan. There was only one thing that worried Li Chengyun.
That was Wen Sheng's injury.
Five or six days have passed in the blink of an eye in the two-month period, Wen Sheng is wandering around in front of everyone's eyes like no one else, and the people who know the inside story feel uncomfortable, and they have to force a happy face on their faces, and no one can bear to tell her the truth.
The mouth is as cheap as Wang Thirteen, the first to get the advice of many people, he deserves to be happy. I'm afraid that I didn't pay attention to it and said that I missed my mouth, and I took a detour when I saw Wen Sheng in the past two days.
It is said that everyone behaved so abnormally, it was impossible for Yi Wensheng's carefulness to be unaware. But she thought that everyone was sad because she had lost her ability as a musician and would not be able to play the piano in the future, and she was really kept in the dark without thinking about the more serious place.
Let's talk about King Thirteen. Seeing that there was a gloomy cloud around him. In addition, seeing Yuan Kai and others tearing their faces with their own eyes, Yang Lanyi, who was worried about eating a bad stomach, was stupid again, so he moved the idea of going to sea to contact Huang Siniang and others.
He went to say goodbye to Li Cao and asked for a boat.
Li Cao saw that he was very polite, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he said: "Brother Thirteen has been really hard these days, you don't have to worry about the little young master of the Yang family, I asked Ji Biao to take someone to take a look." Grandpa Guo wants to meet you. ”
Hey, Wang 13 couldn't help touching his chin. What is Li Chengyun looking for him?
Thank? As soon as everyone returned to Lishui, Li Chengyun thanked him in public, and it was quite grand, and the seat drank to put him in the first place, and all the generals of the Ji family army came to toast, if it weren't for his deep internal strength, he was almost drunk on the spot.
If it weren't for thanks, wouldn't you be talking about the millions of taels of ransom?
Oops, that's embarrassing.
Li Cao took Wang 13 to see Li Chengyun.
Li Chengcheng invited the two to sit down, served tea, exited and closed the door.
Li Chengyun looked at Wang Shisan extraordinarily, and said straight to the point: "I heard that the elder brother is from Nanchong?" ”
Belch? Wang Shisanyi frowned secretly when he heard this, what did Li Chengyun mean?
The founding of Nanchong began three hundred years ago, when the king of Nanyuan of Daliang rebelled, retreated to the Feiyun River, and occupied the land south of the Feiyun River and became the emperor. Nan Chong and Da Liang are old enemies, he turned over his bottom, but crossed the river and demolished the bridge, wanting to draw a clear line?
Li Chengyun read a lot of people, and saw that although Wang Shisan's face was smiling, a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and said, "Don't misunderstand, brother, I don't mean anything else." I just want to know if you have relatives and friends over there in Nanchong, Miss Gu's injury must be treated quickly, that day Doctor Mu said, 'Please be smart', we all took him as he was angry, but we called him over to ask in detail to know that it was not the case. ”
Wang Shisan's heart moved, and a name flashed through his mind: "Medical Saint Yanbai? ”
Li Caoxi said: "It turns out that Lord Wang has also heard of him. ”
Wang 13 said secretly: "Nonsense, or you have nothing to do with Nanchong." Since it was related to Gu Wensheng's life, he simply handed over the truth to Li Chengyun and others: "I have to ask Wang Guangji about these things, I don't know at all, it was so chaotic that night, and I don't know if he died." ”
He paused, and then said: "Even if there is, they don't recognize me for nothing, and another one, not everyone on Nan Chong's side can have anything to do with Yan Bai." ”
This is natural, Yan Bai, as the first person in the world to be famous in medical skills, has an official position in Nanchong, and I heard that he is very courteous to the little emperor.
Li Chengyun was a little disappointed when he heard this, but Wang Shisan had followed Wang Guangji in Jiangbei for so many years, and the Wang family relied on smuggling with Nanchong, so there must be an unknown way.
Speaking of his familiarity with Nan Chong, Wang Thirteen was stronger than all of them.
Thinking of this, Li Chengyun said: "There are always people in the Nanchong army that you are familiar with, otherwise how would Wang Guangji open up the Feiyun River that he had crossed before?" Now there is no other way, I am going to ask Yun Daxia to escort Miss Gu to Nanchong, to try my luck with Yan Bai, I want to bother you to accompany me and help dredge up the relationship, I don't know if it is convenient for my brother? ”
Go to Nanchong, there are cloud herons to go with. Without waiting for Wang Shisan to say anything, Li Chengyun was probably afraid that he would refuse, and said: "Nothing is more important than saving her life, you can mention any request, including Nanchong's side, no matter what conditions the other party has, as long as I Li Chengyun can do it, you can all agree first." ”
With Li Chengyun's current identity, saying such things can be regarded as very willful, regardless of the overall situation, Li Cao next to him not only did not stop it, but showed a look of appreciation and approval.
The two of them looked at Wang 13 together, making Wang 13 feel that if he didn't agree. It seems that the wolf heart is a dog's lungs, and it is not a thing.
"Uh, okay then. I did my best. ”
He thought, "Anyway, I'll just help thread the needle and lead the errand, and the rest will be there." ”
As for making a request, forget it, the five million haven't been fulfilled yet.
Li Cao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since this is the case, I will prepare immediately, and you will set off after a while." "At the beginning, Wen Sheng asked Wang 13 to deceive and save people. Fei's strength, I didn't expect him to be very happy this time, this kid is really clear. Completely two faces to friends and strangers.
Li Chengyun insisted on standing up despite the injuries on his feet, and patted Wang Shisan's shoulder: "It's hard work, my brother is really warm." I'm going to take care of Miss Gu on my behalf. If...... Even Yan Bai couldn't help it. Take a walk around with her, and let her go happily. ”
This requires...... Wang Shisan scratched his head and responded, and secretly slandered himself: "No wonder Cheng Guogong's reputation in the past was so loud, look at the gentle and considerate of the beautiful girl, this has to be changed for what he and Gu Wensheng have." Tut! ”
Li Chengyun didn't know what thoughts were turning in this kid's head, and he had always had a good impression of Wang Shisan. It's a pity to think that such a big master has become a thief. It was through this series of events that he was pulled back on the right path.
After telling Wang Thirteen, he explained to Li Cao again, and he also made it clear to Yunlu, and then sent the two away.
Li Cao went to arrange it without mentioning it.
Let's talk about Wen Sheng, I suddenly heard that I was going to Nanchong, and I was slightly surprised.
But including Wang Shisan, everyone said that it was a pity that she was such a great musician as wasted, and it was better to go to Divine Yanbai to try her luck.
If she can completely recover and play "Xi Sheng" again, she can't ask for it, and now that the development momentum of Lishui is very good, there is nothing to worry about, so go for it.
So she asked Dr. Mu to help take a look, prescribed some medicine and took it, and went to say goodbye to the two masters and Qi Qin, accompanied by Wang Shisan and Yun Lu on the boat.
Li Cao deliberately found two capable maids to prepare to serve Wen Sheng on the road, but she refused.
Wen Sheng laughed in surprise: "Record, what are you doing here?" It's not the first time I've gone far away, and now I just can't play the piano, and it's not like my hand is broken and I become crippled. No matter where she went in the past few years, she was used to taking the baby guqin with her, but at this moment she suddenly had empty hands, she was very uncomfortable, and her attention was distracted.
Li Cao was afraid that she would be suspicious, so she had to give up.
He personally led the fleet to escort him, watched Wen Sheng get on the boat, stopped talking, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Don't you go and talk to your family?" ”
Wen Sheng smiled: "No need, I'll tell them when I come back, so as not to worry." ”
So the group got on the boat, set off under the eyes of everyone on the shore, left the water village, and headed south.
In fact, Li Cao, as the supreme general and leader of the Lishui Jijia Army, left behind the official business at hand, and ran out to see him off is strange in itself, Li Cao's explanation is that he is just going to meet with Ji Nantang, and when he sends Wen Sheng back, he will go ashore from Zhangzhou and make a detour to Xiyao Village without delay.
This delivery took two days and two nights, the fleet traveled very fast, crossed the island non-stop, saw that the shore was not docking, Wen Sheng didn't know that Li Cao and others were helping him save time, seeing that the big ship he took connected to Zhangzhou and Baizhou, it was estimated that it was not too far from Nanchong, and said with a smile: "Okay, just send it here, this way is very rushed, I am in a hurry to see General Ji, don't forget to say hello on my behalf." ”
Li Cao insisted on sending her to Nanluo Island, which is closest to the mouth of the Feiyun River, and watched the three of them change boats.
Yunlu and Wang Shisan are both masters, and their safety can be guaranteed, but this is just a farewell, I don't know if I can see Yiren return safely.
Li Cao was in a very complicated mood, silently watched the boat drift away from the water, and waved goodbye to Wen Sheng on the boat.
With Yunlu and Wang Shisan here, naturally it was not Wen Sheng's turn to row, she looked at Li Cao, who had gradually turned into a small black dot on the island and was still beckoning, she suddenly felt strange in her heart, and said, "Brother Yun." ”
"Huh?" Yun Lu knew that Wen Sheng was not easy to fool, and couldn't help but be a little nervous when she called herself.
Wen Sheng smiled and said, "Have you noticed that Li Lushi is a little wrong?" ”
Yun Lu's nerves tightened: "Is there one?" ”
"Hee-hee, I didn't find him so sentimental before."
Yunlu, Wang 13: "......"
Wen Sheng is in the sea area that he has never been to, the sky is high and the sea is blue, and it seems that his mind has also opened up.
Don't look at her in the water for the past two months, it seems that since she persuaded Wang Shisan, she let him toss and let him toss, and she doesn't care anymore, but in fact, she has been paying attention to the trends of all parties all the time, quite hard, suddenly relaxed, and she was also in the mood to joke, laughed at Li Cao, looked at the two people on the boat, and her eyes fell on Wang Shisan.
"Thirteenth brother, who swore that he was only Feiyunjiang in this life, it's broken, his memory is not good, who is it, I have to think about it."
She teased and tilted her head in thought.
Wang 13 picked her up in his heart: "It's your grandfather and me, it's not all because of you, a little girl." But he said: "Hehe, if you can't remember, just take some tonics, aren't you taking it?" ”
Wen Sheng: "......"
Yun Lu was concerned about it, knowing that before the two months arrived, Wen Sheng would not have a seizure so early, and when she heard her say that her memory was not good, she couldn't help but show a nervous look.
After a pause, Wen Sheng laughed with a "sigh": "Annoyed and ashamed into anger, this is, a gentleman should be righteous as a hostage, courtesy as a deed, inferior as a person, and faith as a success." ”
Wen Sheng's words, Yun Lu didn't understand, and Wang Shisan also wanted to pretend not to understand, but Wen Sheng not only wrote these things in the letter before, but also explained them clearly.
He kept his voice silent and gritted his teeth secretly: "Good men don't fight with women." ”
In the middle of the afternoon, the three of them found a remote shore to stop, the shore is steep and the road is difficult, but this is difficult for the three of them, Yunlu consciously and Wen Sheng are like elder brothers and younger sisters, there is nothing to avoid, carry Wen Sheng over this mountain road, only to come to the smooth road.
As for why he was so cautious, it was because at this time, the entire Jiangbei fell into the hands of the Nanchong army led by Lin Shinan.
The three of them didn't come to Jiangbei for a long time, and they didn't feel the situation, so they had to find a poor mountain and remote land first, slowly approached the town, and found the locals to understand the situation.
Half a day later, the three of them changed their outfits and blended into Yunbian, an important town in Jiangbei.
In the eleven counties of Jiangbei and two prefectures, Wen Sheng once went to Lancheng, and this was the first time he came.
After Wang Guangji rebelled, it was ravaged by war, and at this time in the hands of Nanchongren, the whole city was even more deserted than that day.
The three of them didn't dare to swagger to appear in the market restaurant, and Wang Shisan went to find someone who knew each other well.
At this time, it is convenient to bring him here.
Wang 13 asked the master's family and arranged the next actions of the three of them: "You two will stay here for one night first, and I will go out for a walk to see if I can find the door to cross the river." As long as you can get through the Feiyun River, the inventory over there will not be so strict. (To be continued......)
