At this time, Qin Shou went ashore at this time.

Because the old man sent a message to himself, saying that the leader of the captives had confessed, he couldn't make up his mind.

Coincidentally, the second batch of thieves also surrendered, and he wanted to know who cut off the 'heart's wealth.

Shore

A group of captives lined up, holding their heads in their hands, squatting on the ground.

Seeing that everyone saluted Qin Shou, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

Qin Shou smiled, and he said to everyone: "Don't be afraid, everyone, I am a scholar, and I hate those who hold leather whips the most in my life, how can this be?" ”

The bandits couldn't help but raise their heads, feeling that this person was really kind, and he spoke politely, and his complexion suddenly softened a little.

Fang Yiai on the side was holding a leather whip, and when she heard the words, she couldn't help but throw it to the ground, her face was blue.

Why am I believing in your wickedness?

Fang Yiai turned around and walked out, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to control and shoot this guy to death.

Qin Shou was still smiling, but the words changed and stopped Fang Yiai, "Old Fang, you can help me find some bamboo sticks." ”

"What are you looking for?"

Qin Shou chuckled: "I heard that it is ten fingers connected to the heart, I want to try to insert a bamboo stick into the fingernails to see if it hurts?" ”

"Hiccup!"

The bandits suddenly shuddered, and their faces turned green with fright.

Frightened, their legs and stomachs twitched, cold sweat fell, and they squatted lower than just now.

They suddenly remembered that if the scholar really was ruthless, he would be more ruthless than ordinary people!

Qin Shou narrowed his eyes and continued to say with a smile: "A few of you who are in charge of the house first, tell me the situation, rest assured that the main thing is to tell the truth, I can guarantee the safety of my life, and I may even give you silver." ”

As he spoke, he pointed at them, "How about you report your name first?" ”

"Zhangdongshan, the big boss of the water village!"

"Liu Qinghong, the second leader of Shuizhai!"

“.....”

There were originally nine leaders in the water village, but four were killed by crossbow arrows and Molotov cocktails, and only the five in front of them were left, and two of them were injured.

Qin Shou nodded and nodded at Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai walked over with a plate of bamboo skewers, which turned out to be the skewers that Qin Shou used to skewer meat before, "You say one after another, but if one is different from the other four, the consequences will ......."

Qin Shou said to a few people, "Who will come first?" The first one to come is good....."

"I ..... I'll come first! Liu Qinghong was the first to shout.

"I forgot to explain, I hate it when people interrupt me the most in my life, I'll make a note for you first, and we'll count it together in a while!"

"Uh....." Liu Qinghong's face suddenly looked like a dead father

Qin Shou ignored him, waved his hand and asked Lao Fang to take the others away, and asked, "Tell me what you know." ”

Liu Qinghong: "I used to be a water bandit above the Huaishui, and I occasionally robbed houses and houses in normal times, and I ...... a few months ago."

Qin Shou looked at him faintly and asked, "Oh, you mean that you thieves are not the same gang?" Did someone give you money to support you together? ”

Liu Qinghong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded stupidly.

"Do you know who they are?"

"We don't know about this, they didn't use their real names when they came, but I found that one of them was carrying a piece of jade with a Li character engraved on it."

"Li Zi?" Qin Shou couldn't help but have doubts on his face.

“......”

Separate the trials one by one, and soon Qin Shou had a rough idea in his heart.

Two key pieces of information: Surname Choi? Surnamed Lee?

In this way, it should have something to do with several major families.

This made Qin Shou's eyes glow, and when he stared at the thieves, the thieves were almost frightened!

......

At this time, Li Jing finally came to his senses, he looked at Qin Shou's side in a daze, what was the situation?

Li Jing stood at the bow of the boat and couldn't help but scratch his heart

He couldn't help it, he wanted to know what the hell was going on, as a general who had fought all his life, he had never seen such a strange thing.

Long!

Li Jing's eyes were clear, and he made up his mind.

No, you'll have to go over and see for yourself.

Actually, last time he didn't believe it anyway, but this time, he couldn't help it, "Ziqian, you're here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Huo Ziqian stopped Li Jing with a straight face and said: "You can't let the general get into danger anymore, it's still appropriate for your subordinates to go over!" ”

To be honest, he was also confused now, so he wanted to go over and have a look.

"Get out of the way!"

Li Jing kicked him away.

......

Soon, Li Jing rowed the boat and came to the front again.

The thief ship was still burning, reminding myself that it was all really happening right in front of my eyes.

When he approached Qin Gongzi's boat, he saw Li Ke, Cheng Chubi and others at a glance, and his face was relaxed at this time, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

What are you doing? Celebrating?

"Hey, General, are you here?"

The more this is the case, the more frightened Li Jing's heart becomes!

A man from the Hundred Horsemen suddenly saluted him and said, "General, why are you back?" ”

"Who made you call it that......" Li Jing couldn't help but tighten his scalp.

"General rest assured, Gongzi Qin is not on the ship and has gone ashore."

"Oh, ashore? Why did you go, is there anyone to protect it? Li Jing frowned and asked.

"General rest assured, there is someone to protect!"

Li Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he looked at the one of the hundred horsemen faintly, and then got on the big boat.

At this time, Li Ke, Cheng Chubi, Changsun Jian and others also saw the arrival.

"General!"

When Qin Shou was there, they could pretend not to know each other, but now they couldn't help but respect him.

Li Jing nodded at them.

Wu Wang Li Ke asked with a smile: "General, why are you back again?" ”

"Nonsense, when I see something happening on your side, can I not come back?" Li Jing said angrily, then glanced at everyone and asked, "Why did the enemy ship suddenly catch fire just now?" ”

"What's that?" Li Jing immediately discovered the steel crossbow behind Cheng Chubi, and couldn't help but ask with a sudden shrinkage of his pupils.

"It's ...... Crossbow! ”

Everyone scratched their heads and said honestly.

"Crossbow? Let me see! ”

Li Jing dragged the steel crossbow from Cheng Chubi's hand, Cheng Chubi was definitely unwilling, but how to be Li Jing's opponent, he had to let go in the end.

Soon, he figured out how to wind the bolts, and even got an arrow, and then tried to do it at the boats.

“......”

Li Jing opened his mouth wide and looked at the hole in the thick boat gang, extremely sluggish.

This...... Is this a crossbow bolt?

Eyes are straight!

Nima!

It's also shocking.

I saw his Adam's apple rolling, and then he turned his head and asked the people, "Did you shoot the enemy ship with this and set it on fire?" ”

Everyone nodded.

Li Jing asked again: "Then what happened to the explosion later?" ”

"There are also some Molotov cocktails and black balls .......that can explode," Li Ke explained to Li Jing in a huff.

"Where?" Li Jing asked excitedly and inexplicably.

"It's already consumed!"

"A group of losers......" Li Jing scolded loudly, but his heart was turning up thousands of huge waves.

These things are great treasures!

He was still thinking about how to take Goguryeo, this Qin Gongzi not only thought about the plan, but also directly created such a divine weapon.

If this is placed on the battlefield against the enemy, what kind of scene will it be, and how many fewer soldiers will die?

Datang has this sharp weapon, and it can expand its territory again!

Li Jing looked at the steel crossbow excitedly, and the light in his eyes beat like fire, "What a good thing!" ”

Cheng Chubi's face on the side turned black, this is my crossbow arrow, okay?

After a while, Li Jing suddenly said to everyone, "You guys go out for a while, I want to ask King Wu a few words." ”

Everyone was moved.

Only Cheng Chubi looked at Li Jing with a red face and said, "General, please return the crossbow arrows to me!" ”

"Get out first, a crossbow, can I give it to you?"

"......" Cheng Chubi also walked out with a constipated face.

Wait for everyone to go out

Li Jing looked at Li Ke, and suddenly asked with a smile: "King Wu, can I understand that you have the intention of seizing the heir?" ”

Li Ke's face couldn't help but stiffen, and then he said with a smile: "Wei Guogong, you must be mistaken, it's nothing!" ”

He definitely didn't dare to admit it, after all, he was not a son-in-law, and at this time, the crown prince and the king of Wei had not yet decided the winner, where did he dare to get involved?

Li Jing raised his eyebrows and continued: "Could it be wrong?" I heard that Qin Gongzi traveled this time, and the prince and the king of Wei both intended to accompany him, but in the end it fell into the hands of King Wu, which is a bit interesting. ”

"Recently, I also heard that King Wu buried his head in studying, it can't be influenced by this Qin Gongzi, right?"

Li Ke raised his head suddenly, but saw Li Jing looking at him quietly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth,

couldn't help but look at a loss, and quickly twisted his head to the side.

Li Jing: "Actually, I am still very optimistic about King Wu, if King Wu really calms down and reads, he may not be able to become an emperor of civil governance and martial arts......

"Ahem..... Li Ke hurriedly coughed a few times and said in a low voice: "General, don't make fun of me....."

Li Jing chuckled and said, "King Wu, forgive me, I just said it casually, don't be careful." ”

"Looking at your appearance, it reminds me of Your Majesty's back then, such a temperament, such a demeanor, it is so similar, it is really ......"

Li Ke wiped his sweat, "Please defend the country, don't mention this kind of thing in the future!" ”

"It's really not good!"

Li Jing looked at Li Jing's eyes and said: "Your Majesty also said the same thing at the beginning, many people in Tiance Mansion persuaded Your Majesty to seek a big position, but Your Majesty said that there is a prince, and this is not to be mentioned again!" ”

King Wu's expression froze suddenly, "Uh...... I...... This ......"

"King Wu, farewell!" Li Jing looked at Li Ke quietly, and then walked out of the cabin with a smile on his face.

Li Ke: "......"

Yu Guang glanced at Li Jing and scolded the old fox in his heart.

When Cheng Chubi saw Li Jing coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to return the crossbow arrow again, but Li Jing deliberately shook his body, and then hooked it with his foot.

"Oops, poof!" Cheng Zhijue's foot was tripped over something, and then he sat on the edge of the boat gang, and half of his body fell into the water.

"I'm really sorry, look at this ....." Li Jing said with a look of annoyance: "I still have something, you hurry up and pull him up personally!" ”

"General, my crossbow...... Oops...."

Before he finished speaking, he was stepped on by Li Jing and couldn't help grinning.

By the time he came back to his senses, Li Jing had already jumped on board

Cheng Chubi's face turned purple eggplant, I ...... Why did you believe this old thing's words?

In the past, my father said that his wine was slandered by Li Jing a lot, but he still didn't believe it!

Now, believe!

......

By the time Li Jing returned to the south bank, Huo Ziqian was already looking forward to it.

They rushed to meet Li Jing.

"General, how's that?"

Li Jing took out a steel crossbow from behind him and put it in front of them.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw it.

But after they felt the steel crossbow, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide, extremely sluggish.

Huo Ziqian: "General, this thing is from the hand of Qin Gongzi?" ”

Li Jing nodded, and explained that in addition to this, there were fire bottles and black balls......

Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts!

Huo Ziqian swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and as he learned more, the more frightened he became in his heart for this Qin Gongzi.

Li Jing looked at the people in front of him with a gloomy face, "The news must be kept secret and must not be revealed." ”

"I know that some of you have been sought out by the people of the noble clan, but you must think clearly about your identity and don't do anything stupid!"

Li Jing continued to say to everyone, "This soldier, it's not a big problem if your legs and feet are injured or disabled, but I'm afraid that if you have something wrong with your brain, you will make a mistake and your whole family will suffer!" ”

Everyone sweated and fell, and said in unison: "My subordinates understand!" ”

Li Jing turned his head to Huo Ziqian and said faintly: "This is also said to you, sometimes you know a lot, it may not be a good thing!" ”

Huo Ziqian's heart was extremely bitter.

Because the people of the crown prince, the king of Wei, and the king of Jin all looked for him and asked him to provide them with information about Qin Shou.

After this incident, Li Jing naturally couldn't go back when he was worried.

I could only write a letter to His Majesty and ask my subordinates to send it back urgently.

At the same time, he also wrote out in the letter his plan to pacify Goguryeo.

......

Inside the Royal Palace

The crown prince Li Chengqian, who was lifted from the grounding, didn't go, and came to visit Li Shimin as soon as possible, which couldn't help but make him feel a lot more relieved about this son.

"Cheng Qian, as the eldest brother, what do you think of Qin Shou? If you are your father, how should you place Qin Shou's identity? ”

A light flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, and he replied: "Father, the son thinks that for Qin Shou, he can be given an official job!" ”

"Oh, why?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask with a light in his eyes.

Li Chengqian said lightly: "If the emperor gives him an official, even if it is a small official, it can be regarded as tying him to the carriage of the court, and being an official is not as free as a merchant after all, so that he will not run out every day, and he can prevent him from running out like now......"

"Besides, this can just give full play to Qin Shou's wisdom and add color to my Tang Dynasty, and it can also be regarded as his transition to the court for himself in the future."

"Well, that's good! There is growth! Li Shimin tapped on the table, nodded constantly, and looked at Cheng Qian appreciatively, full of relief.

Li Shimin asked again: "Which ministry do you think it is better for him to enter?" ”

"Erchen thinks that the ministry is better, and he can get in touch with the official system of the Tang Dynasty without a high position.

Li Shimin nodded again, a smile on his face.

"I'll go see your queen mother for a while, and I've been feeling unwell since the cold!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Alright, let's go!" Li Shimin waved his hand.

Li Chengqian gave a deep salute and said: "Father, the son of the emperor has fallen in love with a person, and wants to accept her as a concubine and fulfill her father." ”

Li Shimin's smiling face suddenly stiffened.

"Wei Zheng's niece?"

"How does Father know?" When Li Chengqian heard this, he suddenly raised his head.

"This woman, this woman is already a married man!"

Li Shimin said with a frown.

"Father, even so, the son is willing!"

"You ......"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, gritted his teeth, and said faintly: "What are you willing to do, the person who this woman entrusts her life is Qin Shou!" ”

"Huh? This...... Is that possible? ”
