Chapter 822: Reunion
Yangzhou, Yangzijin Wharf, a huge fleet of ships sailed in one after another, one after another. Standing on the shore and looking into the distance, the sails that obscure the sky and the sun are not in sight.
This time, there were not only Jin Mantang's huge merchant fleet, but also Pan Motang's fleet of sailors. This time, it was not commodities that were transported, but the five thousand tigers of Datang's right Qianniuwei.
It was Li Ze's wife who led the right Qianniuwei, the general of the right Qianniuwei, Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan personally sat in Yangzhou, which also allowed the Tang Dynasty to have a big man in the south who could support the situation, so as to contain the growing strength of Lingnan Xiangxun.
When her feet stepped on the ground, Liu Ruyan's feet were weak, and she almost sat on the ground, and Li Yu beside her was no better than her. "Ma'am, are you alright?" Li Mi glanced at the Yangzhou officials who were waiting in front of him, and asked in a low voice.
"It's fine!" Liu Ruyan gritted his teeth and stood firm, stretched out his foot and stomped on the ground, although he felt that he had stepped on the ground, but what he hated was that the flat land in front of him in his consciousness was still lying together like a wave. Taking a deep breath, closing her eyes, opening them again, and trying to get used to it, she opened her eyes and walked forward with a smile on her face.
Li Mi followed closely with the knife.
During this period of sea life, the only thing that made her happy was the success of losing weight.
Because of her special status, in the Cao Mansion, her daughter-in-law's status is extremely high, unlike the second daughter-in-law, who not only has to manage the affairs of the house every day, but also has to stand in front of her mother-in-law. At most, she went to say goodbye to her mother-in-law sooner or later, and once she got busy, she even saved this.
What's more, she had a boy in one child, and the second daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl in connection with the second child.
In Cao's Mansion, she is completely pampered, serving her up and down like an ancestor, and even the second daughter-in-law is obedient to her. The reason is very simple, the second child is not angry, and now the second family is worried that the boss will sweep them out of the house and ask them to separate the family!
So after Li Mi gave birth to a child, his plump body just couldn't lose weight.
This had distressed her. Because the previous armor can't be put on.
On this sea journey, she managed to lose weight.
So although it was hard, she was satisfied.
Liu Ruyan took the lead, and Li Mi and Chen Bing followed behind her with knives, and they were Liu Ruyan's guards.
Mei Jiu, Qin Xinming, and Li Hao led a group of leading figures in Yangzhou to greet them with smiles on their faces. For Mei Jiu and these big businessmen in Yangzhou, Liu Ruyan's personal arrival shows that Yangzhou's existential crisis has completely become a thing of the past, and the next thing to consider is not survival but development.
They had seen the army from the north, only 5,000 people, and they defeated Huainan and Wuning all the way, and it is said that these people were not a group, but were drawn from various places by the imperial court in order to get Yangzhou. But now it's completely different, the five thousand people brought by Liu Ruyan are the most elite Qianniuwei in the imperial court. With such a strong force, what else is there to fear from them.
Over the past year or so, these people have paid a lot, in order to support the situation, everyone's family has tossed a lot, and now that the situation has stabilized, it is time for them to get a reward.
Liu Ruyan's arrival and Jin Mantang's return are all to these people who chose the right person when they stood in line.
Ten times the effort, a hundred times the gain, this is what they want.
And those former gentry who stood on the wrong line, now the grass on the grave is about to be taller than people, right?
After a simple welcome ceremony, everyone flocked to Liu Ruyan all the way to the General's Mansion, which was specially prepared for her, and a big salt merchant surnamed Zhou defeated many competitors and generously gave Liu Ruyan a typical Jiangnan courtyard that he had spent countless silver dollars on.
And the 5,000 right and 1,000 Niu Wei officers and soldiers were still nesting on the boat at this time. Their condition is worse than Liu Ruyan and Li Mi, a considerable part of them, they are afraid that they will not be able to stand on their feet when they get off the boat, and such a mental outlook in front of Yangzhou people will naturally greatly damage the prestige of the right Qianniuwei, so they can only continue to stay on the boat, and wait until late at night before quietly getting off the boat and going to the barracks. The one who arranged these things was Li Hao, an old bird at sea.
During the period when he was transferred from the land army to the sailor, he had suffered enough, so he felt the same way for what was happening to the robes on the ship.
Without ten days and a half months, it is unlikely that this army will be able to regain its combat effectiveness.
It was already a whole day after the 5,000 Right Thousand Niu Guard army was completely arranged, and even if a lot of preparations had been made before, Li Hao and the others were still busy. Mei Jiu, Su Bao and the others were even more exhausted, and as soon as the work was over, they couldn't wait to go back to make up for sleep.
Anyway, they also saw Liu Ruyan's state, and felt that at least for three days, Liu Ruyan would not have the energy to summon them.
However, Li Hao was different, although he was also very tired, but after all this was over, he still went to the garden contributed by the Zhou family for the first time and asked to see Liu Ruyan.
Li Hao is naturally unimpeded. As a general from the secret camp, in Liu Ruyan's home, he is almost the same as his own guy.
"Li Mi, congratulations on getting a big fat son, you didn't go to drink the doll's full moon wine, this time you came, you have to make up for me!" Looking at Li Mi, who came to greet him, Li Hao said with a smile.
"Call the eldest sister!" Li Yu glanced at him and said.
"The two of us, who is the eldest sister and who is the eldest brother, but there has been no conclusion!" Li Hao coughed dryly.
"It seems that I haven't seen you for two years, and your skin is tightening again." Li Mi's fists clenched, "Why don't the two of us practice here first, and then go to see Mrs. after deciding who is the boss?" ”
Li Hao took a step back, but he knew that Li Mi would deal with the brothers in the secret camp, so he would be able to start fighting. "You can't win, I haven't slept for a day and a night, just to settle the brothers of Right Qianniuwei, if you really want to fight, you should let me raise my spirits!"
"Okay, you pick a day, see if I don't beat you all over the face." Li Mi said with a smile.
"In a few days, you can choose the day, but let me pick the place." Li Hao looked at her with a smile.
"Okay, or in three days?"
"Okay, the place is on the Yangzhou!" Li Hao said.
"What? What place? ”
"Yangzhou, the flagship of the Yangzhou Naval Division, is still very spacious on the deck, and it will definitely allow us to show it!" Li Hao said with a smile.
Li Mi looked at Li Hao for a long time: "Li Hao, I found that I haven't seen you for two years, and the thickness of your skin has climbed to a new height!" ”
"Prizes have been awarded. If you don't dare to go, forget it, just choose the location, I don't care! Li Hao touched his chin and said.
"Just three days later, the place you said!" Li Mi snorted coldly and said, "I still beat you all over the face, and let you know why the flowers are so red!" ”
"Well, don't brag about it, three days later, it's going to be stormy, you know? When the time comes, it would be good if you could stand firm on the deck of the Yangzhou, and it made my face bloom, hahaha, the boss of the secret camp, I am finally going to do it, it is really thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi! Li Hao looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Come on, don't brag about it." Li Mi waved his hand: "By the way, I want to thank you for the full moon gift, I have a heart, what you gave our family likes very much, and it is placed in his study!" You made it yourself, right? ”
Li Hao smiled and nodded: "There are so many brothers and sisters in the secret camp, your son is the biggest, I naturally have to put more thought into it, and one after another in the future, then I can pick a gift and send it at will!" ”
The two glanced at each other, smiling, but full of other meanings.
The brothers and sisters of the secret camp are no longer the young boys and girls who were young and didn't know what the world was in the Daqing Mountains back then. Time has allowed these people to have their own experiences.
Li Mi, Li Hao, Li Han, Li De, Li Rui, these people are all top-notch figures in the secret camp, and now their status is also high and low, and the gap between them has widened. And people like Yan Jiu have embarked on another path. Others, such as the recently up-and-coming Yan Eighteen, that is, Zheng Wenjun, who married Qian Biao, also have their own experiences. But many more people don't have such opportunities. Others have died in these years of fighting.
Their status is not like in the secret camp, whoever has a hard fist is the boss. These people call Li Mi the eldest sister, but it's just a habit to become natural.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, or in the face of outsiders, they are still a close-knit and united collective.
The reason why Li Hao wanted to transfer to the naval division was because he felt that he was in the army, and he couldn't compare to Li De in terms of cavalry, and Li Rui couldn't compare to Li Rui in terms of intrigue and intrigues, and he was arrogant, and he never wanted to say hello after many years, after seeing these former companions, he had to say hello, so he could only take another way.
The water master is his choice. Now, he feels that he has walked on the right path, especially when Jin Mantang returns with a full load, which allows him to see the vast world outside.
Li Mi naturally knew what Li Hao was thinking. Unlike Li Hao, she really doesn't have so many thoughts, and now Li Mi just wants to help Gongzi defeat all the enemies quickly, and then help Gongzi sit on the highest chair, so that she can return home with peace of mind.
