Kongzhu was pleasantly surprised, although he did not kneel, but finally bowed to Zhao Dongting.

"Get up!"

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "In my son's heart, I thought that you people who came and went in the sword would not like to kneel." I don't think you're going to keep us on the island to eat right now, so be it. He looked at the red lady, "Chief, you arrange for a few people to set up a boat to take us out of the island, and we will leave on our own, so we will not continue to stay on the island." ”

He pointed to Lao Wu Tou and the others, "The ships of the Sea Dragon Gang and the people of the Sea Dragon Gang, I have to take them away, and they are still useful." ”

Old Wu Tou breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Dongting finally didn't leave them alone.

The red lady naturally agreed, "Follow the son's order." ”

Zhao Dongting nodded faintly and hummed softly, "Hmm." In a little time, ships will bring you money and food. ”

After saying that, he turned his head and walked towards the sea cave with Hong Wutian and the others. Old Wu Tou and the others were too busy to keep up.

The burly man turned his head and kowtowed to Zhao Dongting: "We are also willing to recognize the son as the master, and ask the son to take him in!" ”

It's a pity that Zhao Dongting didn't even look back, let alone stop.

Such a weak pirate is not even qualified to be recruited by him.

The red lady watched Zhao Dongting gradually walk away, her eyes complicated. After all, he got up and ran after Zhao Dongting.

"Alas......"

Kongzhu sighed softly, snapped the paper fan, and followed behind. Several bosses followed.

The little bean sprouts were led by Zhao Dongting again.

The eyes of the two Zhang family members, including Zhang Xiaotao, were completely different from before when they looked at him.

The little bean sprouts turned over the little head, and said immaturely: "Brother Dongting, you looked so scary just now......

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, "Is it scary?" No, Brother Dongting is so handsome, how can he be scary? ”

Zhang Xiaotao rolled her eyes, Zhang Xiaoju was full of envy, and glanced at Zhao Dongting.

Hong Wutian laughed lightly beside him, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "Childe's momentum is indeed getting stronger and stronger now. ”

Zhao Dongting stopped talking, and was slightly distracted.

Everyone's mentality, temperament, and momentum will change with the changes in status and experience. Now that I have fully integrated into the identity of the emperor, right?

Go down to the sea cave and go back to the merchant ship.

Several leaders such as the Red Lady and Kongzhu personally piloted the boat and opened the way for Zhao Dongting and their merchant ships.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongting smiled.

It seems that the red lady is not only feeling aggrieved in her heart now, but also should realize that this is her opportunity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come out to row herself.

The merchant ships returned to the vast sea.

Night also falls at a short time.

Lao Wu Tou and others are all old oilmen on this route, although they were taken to Crescent Island and deviated from the original channel, it will only take some time to return to the old channel.

During the night, the waves were rough, and the boats shook violently.

But fortunately, the people on the ship have been on the ship for so long, and those who can get used to it, and those who can't get used to it, have already vomited all the things they can vomit.

In the cabin, Zhao Dongting and Hong Wutian sat cross-legged and practiced.

Old Wu Tou probably tried his best to get back together with Zhao Dongting, and the two Zhang families were also wiped out because of this, and they were arranged to live in another cabin.

The little bean sprouts stayed in the cabin of Zhao Dongting, holding Lao Wutou's Pu knife with both hands, his little face was red, and he swayed with the ship.

……

Yangzhou County in the territory of Lizhou East Road.

Li Wangyuan has not moved since he was killed by the White Horse Army in August last year, and he led his troops back here.

The Song and Yuan dynasties negotiated peace, and the Yuan Dynasty ceded Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou to the Great Song Dynasty. Because the White Horse Army in Shuzhong was still nominally the Great Song Army, it was honest after actually controlling the entire Kuizhou Road, and did not dare to continue to occupy other state roads, bearing the name of the Great Song Dynasty traitor.

Now that more than ten days have passed since the beginning of spring, Li Wangyuan is eager to save his sister, and finally plans to enter Kuizhou again.

Zhao Dongting was always waiting for Western Xia to send troops, and did not let Zhang Jue lead the army into Kuizhou, and there was no reason for the lack of an offensive reason.

Of course, it's not that I can't make a reason, but I don't want to spend that effort.

The original Jiedu envoy's mansion in Yangzhou County. The carved fence is made of jade, and the cloister turns a thousand times.

In the distance, there are mountains and clouds.

Lizhou East Road is a good place to have mountains and water.

Li Wangyuan's former ministers of Western Xia spent decades secretly infiltrating the military, political, and commercial worlds of Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou, and almost controlled these four roads in their hands. When the Yuan Dynasty gave up these four roads, the officials and generals of the Yuan Dynasty who were still staying in these places also lost their last foundation, either out of anger or out of discouragement, they simply voted for Western Xia and bowed to Li Wangyuan.

In the end, Western Xia seems to have become the biggest beneficiary after the peace talks.

The Great Song Dynasty tried his best but got Fujian, Shuzhong and the white horses galloped across the country, and he only got Kuizhou. Western Xia lost the battle, but won all four states.

Li Wangyuan can be regarded as the prince of Western Xia, as long as he is willing, it is not difficult to restore and ascend the throne immediately.

At this time, in the mansion of the original envoy named "Changchun Mansion", Prince Li sat high in the hall, and below, there were influential former ministers of Western Xia such as Zhongsun Qifu.

The civil officials are on the left, and the military generals are on the right, standing neatly and neatly. This scene, if it is really restored, is no different.

Li Wangyuan's eyes swept over the people below and then got straight to the point, "I summoned you here today to discuss with you about taking Kuizhou again." ”

Taking the matter of Kuizhou, Li Xiushu did not return to Western Xia for a day, and Li Wangyuan did not dare to forget it for a day.

All the ministers in the hall had already figured out Li Wangyuan's thoughts, and they didn't show any surprise.

A young general in his early thirties, who was about a year old, came out of the ranks and bowed his hand to Li Wangyuan, "Prince, with the current strength of our army, there must not be much of a problem if we want to break the white horse and take Kuizhou." It's just that a certain general has the courage to ask the prince if he still has the idea of taking Kuizhou and offering the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for Princess Xiushu in his heart. ”

Li Wangyuan frowned slightly, "Of course, how many times does General Helian need to be told by this prince?" ”

These days, the old ministers of Western Xia have always been entangled in the matter of replacing Kuizhou for Li Xiushu, which has long made him angry and very impatient.

In the eyes of these guys, is it possible that as the sister of the pure-blooded Xixia princess, compared to Kuizhou, it is like abandonment?

Li Wangyuan values his sister, so he is also extremely disgusted that these generals don't take Li Xiushu too seriously.

Today, he will definitely give a decision on the matter of sending troops to Kuizhou.

However, this time, the wave of opposition was unexpectedly large.

General Helian had just finished speaking, when another minister came out and said, "The minister begs the prince to think twice!" ”

Then a few Wenchen followed and bowed.

Li Wangyuan's right hand slapped heavily on the chair guard, "Couldn't you have suffered a defeat and were beaten by the White Horse Army and even lost your guts?" ”

The expressions of the ministers did not change much, and they had obviously passed through the qi before entering the hall.

In the end, Li Wangyuan sat back and enjoyed his success, and these old ministers of Western Xia were not like the ministers of the Song Dynasty who obeyed Zhao Dongting's words, and had the confidence and strength to admonish.

The first to come out of the list said: "We are not against the prince's capture of Kuizhou, but ...... I hope that the prince will think twice about exchanging Kuizhou for Princess Xiushu. ”

Li Wangyuan's brows tightened, "What do you mean by this?" You guys...... Did you want to take Kuizhou, but you didn't care about Xiushu's life or death? ”

Wen Chen, who is now holding the post of the head of the military department of Gansu in Western Xia, arched his hands, bowed lower, and said: "Song and Yuan negotiate peace, and the Yuan Dynasty will give up Fengxiang, Fujian and other roads to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty has become the second only force in the world to the Yuan Dynasty. The minister dared to ask the prince to think deeply, if I want to take Kuizhou in exchange for Princess Xiushu, but the Song Dynasty backtracks, and let me return the Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou East and West roads that nominally belong to them to them, what should I do? ”

Li Wangyuan was silent.

The head of the Gansu Military Department said: "Even if the Song Dynasty doesn't do that backshit, our dynasty has a narrow territory, and its strength is not as good as that of the Song and Yuan dynasties. In the future, we will compete with Song Yuan and Dali for the world...... I'm afraid that the chances of winning are even slimmer. The minister thinks that at this moment, our dynasty should take advantage of the fact that the Song Dynasty did not send troops to Kuizhou, and hold Kuizhou in his hands, so that the strength of our dynasty can be stronger, and the chances of winning in the future will be a few points more. ”

Li Wangyuan still said the same thing, "That Xiushu...... What did she do? ”
