Three days later.

off the water.

Li Cao, the secretary of the General's Mansion, was draped all over his body, and his armor stood neatly on the tower in the north of the water village.

This water village is built in the harbor out of the water, built according to the topography, surrounded by earth walls, built with thick masonry outside, and there are enemy towers on the east, west and north sides.

Outside the tower to the north, there is a breakwater, a moat, and further north is the water gate, which is cut off when an enemy comes from the sea.

These have been built one after another in recent years, and as soon as the war started last year, several pirates came to disturb the water and were beaten away by Li Cao and the Ji family's army.

Originally, everyone was not so close to the enemy, but as Ji Nantang took command of Baizhou again, the war fell into a stalemate, and there was gossip that the enemy could not help the general, and it was likely to turn to the idea of leaving the water, washing the general's hometown in blood, and coercing his family.

Both the general's mansion and the county government have done their best to raise manpower and material resources to strengthen the coastal defense that is off the water, and Li Caohe and the county order Zhuhong have not slept for a long time.

At this time, in Lishui City, in addition to the 2,000 Ji family troops led by Li Cao, there were also 5,000 people recruited, and they defended according to the danger, which was also impregnable.

When Bai Shiyuan was old, Zhu Hong didn't let him come to Shuizhai and asked him to work in the county government on his behalf.

He and Li Cao, Qi Peng, captain of the General's Mansion, and Fu Changsha, the head catcher, were divided into four groups, day and night, taking turns to supervise the formation in the water village.

During the day today, it was Li Cao's turn.

The sun was shining, and Li Cao basked in the fishy sea breeze for a while, squinting his eyes and looking at the sea. The soldiers around him said: "It's rare to have good weather, the wind and waves are calm, stay for a while and ask Congwu to take his 1,800 people on the boat to practice." What kind of line do you get dizzy when you see the boat? ”

The pro-soldier held back a smile and received the order.

The county government recruited the people to defend the city, and the dart masters under Lu Baiquan were highly skilled, so they naturally had to call them to help, and Li Congwu was not only a disciple of Lu Baiquan, but also a relative of Li Cao, so he was directly appointed as a captain.

Who would have thought that the captain was full of battles on land, and his legs shook as soon as he got on the boat. Without waiting to get out of the water, the village threw up the river and the sea with the side of the boat, and became the target of everyone's ridicule for a while.

The order was passed down, and the crowd laughed. Li Congwu responded with a bitter face, gave an order, and asked everyone to get on the boat.

At this moment, a signal rose from the adjacent hill to the west. A scream. exploded in mid-air, and everyone was stunned: There is a ship coming at sea?

A sound meant that there were not many boats, and small fish and shrimp bumped into them out of nowhere.

At this time, there was no ship in sight of the tower, and the soldier asked, "Record, look at this ......?"

Li Cao came to the spirit and ordered to go down: "Don't close the gate, tell Congwu to go up and take a look." After finishing speaking, he was a little uneasy, and looked left and right: "What about Ji Biao?" ”

Later, one person from the Ji family's army came out of the ranks: "Record." Marked in. ”

Li Cao said: "You take a boat to follow and watch it." Don't call Congwu a loss. ”

Ji Biao took the order and left.

Let's say that Li Congwu heard that it was to meet the enemy, so he was a little more energetic, and led his men to drive more than ten big boats out, passed through the water gate, and went straight to the southeast to meet him.

The boat was not far away, and I saw three small black dots floating on the sea in the distance, which were three boats, rising and falling with the waves.

Li Congwu just looked at it like this, and felt that the world was spinning, and his stomach was nauseous for a while, so he turned around and hugged the iron bucket specially prepared for him by his subordinates, and said, "Quick, quick, rush up and see if it's a pirate ship." ”

Most of the people on the boat were from fishing backgrounds, and the oars were rowed quickly, and they rushed to meet the incoming boat.

The person who came was Wen Sheng and his party.

The road was very smooth, and in winter the north wind was blowing on the sea, and the three ships only had to hang up their sails, and barely had to shake the oars, and the boats brushed the water and headed north.

In addition, it has always been sunny, there is the sun during the day, and there is the guidance of the Big Dipper at night, and there are no demons and monsters to block the road and rob, and then Wen Sheng simply went to the back cabin to rest.

When everyone saw the land in front of them, they estimated that they should have arrived in Kaizhou, and they were all startled when they suddenly found more than ten large ships on the sea surrounding.

Li Junchi said, "Go and call Miss Gu." ”

There was a commotion on the boat opposite, and someone shouted, "Where do you come from and what are you doing?" Someone else doubted: "These are pirates, they don't look like good people." ”

Li Junchi and the others first sat in prison for so long, and then drifted on the sea for three days and nights, saying that the pirates were all praising them, and the pirates didn't mix so badly, at first glance they all looked like savages.

What did Li Junchi do, as soon as he heard the other party's words, he roughly guessed the identity of these people, and said with a smile: "I specially came from Zhangzhou and defected to the Ji family army who left the water." I wonder how far away from the water is here? ”

He has martial arts, and his voice is loud and confident, and he spreads far and wide on the sea.

Both sides were quiet.

"Vomit-" The sound of vomiting coming from the boat on the other side was exceptionally clear.

"Third brother?" Wen Sheng came out of the cabin, and followed the sound to find that it was his cousin Li Congwu who was holding an iron bucket on the opposite boat and vomiting in the dark, and he was so surprised that he almost wanted to raise his hand and rub his eyes.

That's when she looked up and noticed the land in the distance.

Wen Sheng always thought that she was only staying in Lishui for a short time that day, and most of the time she didn't even go out of the gate, just nesting at home, she was also very unfamiliar with Lishui, and her hometown was in Luoyi in her previous life.

But when she stood on the boat at this time, looking at the city away from the water, it seemed that a floodgate had opened in her mind, and countless memories came to her.

She was given a new lease of life in the city.

Now that she is back, she wants to draw strength from here, go out again, and change the world.

With this crisp and pleasant "third brother", I don't know how many people's eyes gathered on Wen Sheng, Li Congwu opened his mouth wide, forgot about seasickness for a while, and stammered: "Watch...... Cousin. ”

This encounter was so surprising that he let go of the iron bucket in his hand and smashed it on his own foot.

The two of them merged together and came to the water village.

Without waiting for the Water Gate, Li Cao had already received Ji Biao's report and personally led the crowd to greet him.

When the two sides met, they were overjoyed.

Don't wait to reminisce about the past. Wen Sheng first told him about the situation on his side, and Li Cao hurriedly called his own soldiers to invite the best doctor in the city, and sent someone to send a letter to the county commander Zhu Hong.

Outside the water village is a dense layer of military camps. The thirty or so men were first placed in the barracks.

Li Cao helped Wen Sheng settle all the people, and then he had time to ask her why she suddenly appeared at sea.

Wen Sheng briefly talked about her whereabouts in recent months, and only at the beginning, Zhu Hong, Bai Shiyuan, Fu Changsha and others from the Lishui County Ya came to meet.

This meeting is different from a few years ago.

Wen Sheng is a musician who walked out of the water, and Zhu Hong and others are very polite.

Bai Shiyuan saw the old man, and Wen Sheng took the gift of the younger generation. She was afraid of touching the other party's sadness, so she didn't dare to say more, so Bai Shiyuan took the initiative to mention two sentences. I was very embarrassed.

After dealing with these old people, Wen Sheng and Li Caoyan figured out their secret letter channel to contact Ji Nantang.

It had been so long before leaving the army that the situation in Baizhou had become unfamiliar, and Wen Sheng had to write down what had happened in recent months along with his own speculations in a letter. Tell Ji Nantang to consider it himself. It would be better to send a trustworthy man to Lishui and consult with her face to face.

After the letter was written, he handed it to Li Cao and asked him to send it to Ji Nantang as much as possible, and Wen Sheng went to wash and change his clothes to wash away the wind and frost and the fishy smell of the sea for days.

While she was taking a bath, she was still thinking about Zhong Tianzheng in her mind.

Drifting at sea these days. Wen Sheng didn't have time to sort it out, and at the moment she had one scene at a time in her mind. are all pictures of getting along with Zhong Tianzheng in the past few years.

King Xian's widow should be true, so it was so easy for him to gather Duan Zhengqing and a group of cronies, and it was precisely because of this, coupled with his familiarity with Yang Haojian's villa, that he believed his words.

The Yang father and son are mediocre and cruel, Wen Sheng owes them the slightest loyalty, she actually doesn't care who wants to compete in the world.

But Zhong Tianzheng hid the most fatal point from her and Tan Yaohua.

When the battles in Baizhou made it extremely clear that the Dongyi people knew everything about their troop deployment, Wen Sheng turned his suspicious eyes at the people around him, and found that Zhong Tianzheng's suspicion was actually the greatest.

According to her understanding of Zhong Tianzheng for so many years, it is inconsequential, if she asks for it, Zhong Tianzheng will stretch out her hand, in addition, the only thing that can make him act is interests.

Therefore, Wen Sheng brought it up and asked him to help redeem Li Chengyun.

Emperor Jianzhao has refused to ransom people with money, and Li Chengyun has become a chicken rib in the hands of the Dongyi people, it is a pity to kill it, and it is useless to keep it. If Zhong Tianzheng really had a secret communication with the Dongyi people, he would definitely help facilitate this matter, and Zhong Tianzheng agreed without hesitation.

Compared with his indifference and ruthlessness in Jiangbei, it was his enthusiasm at this moment that made Wen Sheng's heart cold.

She then naturally concealed Dong Tao's ability.

What really made Wen Sheng suspect that Zhong Tianzheng was not cooperating with the Dongyi people, he might be the real ghost son, and it was Dong Tao who heard the words in the enemy camp.

The ghost son's father is from Daliang, and his mother is Yan Shan's sister, he is hidden in the army of Daliang, and according to Yan Shan's son, Yan Shan's two nephews died in the prison of the criminal division, which is the handiwork of the ghost son.

On the same day, Emperor Jianzhao ordered Ji Nantang to enter Beijing to offer prisoners, and sent the two people back to the capital all the way.

Therefore, whether it is to vent personal anger or kill people, it is much more logical for the ghost boy to kill him than Wang Guangji.

Wen Sheng still remembers that Yan Shan's two nephews died in early September, and after that, one night, Zhong Tianzheng personally drove the car and asked her to go out at night.

He told her that the past two days had been a big deal.

"No, it's not hard. It's just that the determination is a little hard to make. I hesitated for several days for this, and finally made up my mind to do it, and after I finished it, I felt that a big stone had suddenly disappeared from the bottom of my heart, and it was much easier. ”

"People say that the emperor is alone, but I am obviously far away from that position, but I am also alone, and I have no relatives and friends."

Zhong Tianzheng's words that night were still in his ears, and when Wen Sheng recalled it again, he felt that it was meaningful.

Wen Sheng sighed and covered his face.

Even if the son of Yan Shan came to stir up the situation, Zhong Tianzheng still had to help him ransom Li Chengyun, and this time, he even wanted to get Jiang Hailong to bypass Dongyi, so that they would not get any benefits.

Wen Sheng simply lowered the price to five million taels, Zhong Tianzheng still agreed, about Li Chengyun is just a waste in his eyes, and he can get five million if he uses it, which is not bad.

Is he short of money?

Wen Sheng felt that since both parties were looking forward to this deal, it must be no problem, if this could rescue Li Chengyun, she also admitted it, but why didn't it work out later?

The later shape shì is like a boulder rolling down from a high mountain, faster and faster, completely out of control.

Zhong Tianzheng has no intention of stopping, and she will definitely get worse next, what should she do to rescue Li Chengyun?

By the time she came to her senses, the water was already cold.

Wen Sheng got up and wiped it clean and changed his clothes.

Why did Zhong Tianzheng treat Bu Yun like that? Where has he been these days?

He must be explained to Tan Yaohua immediately.

The relationship between Zhong Tianzheng and the Tan family is well known in Fengjingcheng, and once it is confirmed that he is a ghost son, Tan Yaohua's father and son will be implicated by him.

Tan Yaohua is traveling, how can she contact him?

Wen Sheng had never been so restless, she was anxiously waiting for Ji Nantang's reply.

During this period, Li Congwu came to find Wen Sheng, and the two went back to Li's house to take a look, Wen Sheng met his grandparents and talked to his uncle Li Rong, she was away from home for so long, even if there were still some pimples in everyone's hearts when they met again, they were almost able to calmly accept this reality.

When it was Li who avoided her, he didn't see her.

Qinggui gave birth to a son half a year ago, and Wen Sheng didn't come to see her, but only asked Li Congwu to help him give a generous gift.

After finishing these, Wen Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The next step is to concentrate all your attention on this messy situation.

A few days later, Ji Nantang's reply arrived.

The letter said that Wen Sheng was asked to wait in Lishui first to recuperate and recuperate, and he would send someone over to discuss the important matters mentioned in Wen Sheng's letter.

In the next day, the person sent by Ji Nantang arrived, and Wen Sheng fell into his stomach as soon as he saw it.

"Mr. Du, when will you leave Dejing?"

Du Yuanpu came with people and horses, flew all over the soil, and said hurriedly: "As soon as the general receives your letter, he will summon me to come here." I have been delayed for a day to leave Beijing, and the situation in Beijing, alas, is also indescribable. You wait for me to wash my face, and then I will talk to you slowly. ”

When Du Yuanpu finished cleaning up, only Wen Sheng and Li Cao were left in the house, and the three of them sat down to discuss.

Du Yuanpu and Li Cao are both Ji Nantang's henchmen and are people he absolutely trusts.

Du Yuanpu said: "I'll tell you about the situation in Baizhou first, before the second prince called Pei Zong to replace General Tong, after Pei Zong arrived, the following generals were dispatched indiscriminately, and the soldiers and horses brought out by the general were all disrupted for him, and several generals also went to idle posts. ”

Wen Sheng had long thought of what he said, this was the purpose of Yang Haojian sending Pei Zong.

"The general has fallen out with the second prince, and he brought his own troops to exchange for Pei Zong. So the general and the second prince are actually leading an army now, if you have any plans, now is a good time. (To be continued......)

PS: It's quite depressing.

Today's chapter has a few more things that I wasn't going to write.

I'm actually an author who cares a lot about the reader's perception, (the grades are not good, and I don't care about everyone's opinion, so there is nothing left.) Rather than asking readers to misunderstand the original intention and purpose of my writing, it is better to spend some words explaining more, although some things can become very boring once they are pointed out.
