After receiving the Nasu County Order, Li Xiaofei went to see him alone with wine and food.

Su Xian Ling refused to eat and drink at first, but under Li Xiaofei's persuasion, he finally ate and drank all the wine and food he brought.

But after eating and drinking, Su Xian Ling lay down and closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei was not strong, and on the second day, he went to find some people to ask about the affairs of Huarong County and Dongting Lake.

Su Xian Ling is indeed a person sent by Zhongyitang, but people from Zhongyitang rarely come.

The reason is that there are floods here every year, and epidemics are rampant, and neither the imperial court nor Zhongyitang actually wants this place.

After being sent here by Zhongyitang, he took the people to repair canals and dams, find herbs to cure diseases, dry dried fish and sell them to the north, and after a few years of hard work, although he did not completely cure the floods and epidemics, but it was much better than before.

Li Xiaofei remembered that when he was in Shou County, to be honest, if it weren't for the help of Hongrui and others, he would have been far away from this Su County order.

Li Xiaofei went to see Su County Order again with wine and food

Su Xian Ling tidied up his clothes: "It's better for you to kill me earlier!" If I go to the capital, I will definitely scold your emperor!" When the time comes, you won't be able to eat and walk away! ”

"Haha, I'm not afraid of this, with my friendship with the emperor, at most, I will be scolded by him again! It's you, who were originally talented and capable, but you stooped to be a thief! It's a pity! I've been thinking about how to protect you in front of the emperor and keep one more clean official in this world! ”

"Don't tease me, you can't be humiliated!" After speaking, Su Xian Ling closed his eyes again and lay down

"If I want to insult you, why don't I find a place where there are many people? What's more, there is no personal enmity between you and me, and I came to arrest you just for official business! ”

"Official? When it comes to disaster relief, why don't you see official business? After I have rescued all these people and let everyone live and work in peace and contentment, you will come to business? Su Xian Ling opened his eyes again and got up

When Li Xiaofei saw him get up, he smiled: "Don't be angry!" The things of this world can't be rectified overnight! I see that you are also a scholar, is the disease of this world only today? ”

"This world is not light! But you high-ranking officials and generous people have the ability to rule the world, but you don't do it! I see you're sick too! The more Su Xian Ling spoke, the more excited he became, and he grabbed a few handfuls of straw in his hand

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh! Severe illness requires strong medicine! Dare to ask Mr. Su what he thinks about these two sentences? Li Xiaofei squatted down and asked

"This time and that time! The way of governing the country should change with the times, how can we be paranoid on one side? When you should be cautious, you should take it step by step, and when you should use heavy rules to govern troubled times, you can't show mercy! ”

"Haha, then the north and south of the world are different, the customs are different, and the products are also different, dare to ask Mr. Su if the governance of the world should also be adapted to local conditions?"

"Okay, I mean you! But I just don't understand, why don't people like you refuse to contribute to the world? ”

"When we contribute, we don't have to be seen by everyone! I'm not as old as you, but I've been fighting on the battlefield for nearly a decade. I have been to many places in this world, and I have seen many miserable situations in the world, and we are trying to change them! ”

"I can't confirm what you're saying, but I'm curious, do you really think I'm going to tell you what you want to know?"

"I know that torture is always the most useful, but instead of destroying a talent, I might as well think of another way, people like you will not be reused in the den of thieves!"

"Haha, I can tell you that, you guessed it! But I'm already very content, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't even have a chance to do this fake county order! ”

"By the way, they won't come to save you, and we don't plan to attack the lake, we're ready to take you back to the capital!"

Su Xian Ling looked up at Li Xiaofei: "Then what about the people here?" ”

"We plan to move all the people here north to Wuchang, and we can't leave them to the thieves!"

"It is always the people who suffer! It's useless for me to say anything! Do good to these people. ”

It took nearly a month to relocate the people, and when the people were almost moved, when Li Xiaofei was about to withdraw the army, sixty warships suddenly came to the riverside.

Li Xiaofei hurriedly called Zhang Feng's second general to line up, but unexpectedly, the warship was hung with a big banner with the word Liang, and one person went up and down the flagship, but it was Liu Mingge's subordinate Black Pearl.

"Li, long time no see! Our fleet is here to help you! Black Pearl waved at Li Xiaofei from afar

Li Xiaofei turned his head and said his own person, and greeted him.

Black Pearl opened her long and strong arms and hugged Li Xiaofei and picked him up, and Zhang Mengqi and Feng Hengshan behind him were all frightened.

This woman is blonde and blue-eyed, very tall, Zhang Mengqi has always called himself the first fierce general of the Great Liang, and he didn't dare to look directly when he saw the black pearl today.

Black Pearl's face was fair and smooth, as if carved from jade, and her body was tall but very well-proportioned.

But in this way

In front of the woman, even a womanizer like Feng Hengshan can't think of anything wrong.

Black Pearl put down the dizzy Li Xiaofei: "These two are your friends, come, hug too"

Zhang Feng and the others didn't have time to refuse, so they were grabbed by Black Pearl left and right, one on the left and one on the right.

Feng Hengshan's face turned red, and at this moment he suddenly had the idea that he had become a woman.

Zhang Mengqi was directly stunned, which reminded him of his mother's reward when he was a child.

Before the two of them came back to their senses, Black Pearl took one with one hand: "Our fleet has been gone for five days and five nights, and now we need your military camp to rest for two days, from now on you will go on board to help guard the ship!" ”

Second General Zhang Feng has lost the ability to refuse: "Okay, good, get on the boat immediately!" Your men come down first! ”

Li Xiaofei rubbed his eye sockets: "Black Pearl Beauty, next time we meet, I bother you to be more gentle!" ”

Black Pearl's eyes widened and she turned around and walked towards Li Xiaofei: "Am I not gentle enough?" Then I'll do it again! ”

As soon as Li Xiaofei shouted a word, he was picked up by the black pearl and spun around a few times.

Zhang Feng and the others couldn't bear to look at it, so they stepped up to assemble the team.

Li Xiaofei, who fainted to the ground, took a while to get up with Hua Xiaoan's support.

Fortunately, Black Pearl took the people and horses on the boat to rest after a while, otherwise Li Xiaofei would definitely be reorganized by Black Pearl at the banquet.

After General Zhang Feng and Li Xiaofei got on the boat and settled the soldiers, they ate some dry food, and it was already dark at this time.

Zhang Feng and the others were bored, so they asked Li Xiaofei about the origin of the black pearl

Li Xiaofei told them the story of Black Pearl and Liu Mingge for a few hours

"This Mr. Liu is really amazing, such a woman, we are all stunned when we look at it, by the way, she is quite white, why is it called Black Pearl?"

"I'm going to ask Mr. Liu about this, I don't dare to ask"

"Forget it, the sword maniac is good, don't mess with it, by the way, doesn't it mean that women can't get on the boat? Why is she still with a fleet? ”

"Mr. Liu, he doesn't like these red tapes, he wants to do anything that he can't do!"

"Why is there so much saltpeter, iron, and sulfur on this ship, and they are not afraid of fire?" Feng Hengshan asked

Li Xiaofei and Zhang Mengqi glanced at it a few times and found that there was indeed a lot of saltpeter, iron and sulfur on this ship.

"This black pearl has been at sea for many years, it shouldn't be so careless, wait for me to send someone to ask her!" Li Xiaofei said

"No need to ask, you can get off the boat!" Black Pearl came over at some point, and many people followed behind him with straw on their backs

"Is this going to be?" Li Xiaofei asked

Zhang Mengqi immediately understood and made a gesture of silence

Black Pearl said lightly: "You can get off the ship, remember to stay in the barracks and don't come out!" ”

Li Xiaofei and the other three didn't know what to do, but they knew that Black Pearl must have her arrangement, so they woke everyone up and got off the boat.

Just as these two groups of men and horses were changing guards, thirty large boats and countless small boats came over the lake, firing arrows at the Liang army's warships with torches.

Black Pearl led people to shoot arrows to resist, Li Xiaofei and the others were about to attack, but they were stopped by Black Pearl: "You guys go quickly!" We'll be gone, too! ”

In a short time, the fleet on the lake had already formed an encirclement of the Liang army's warships, and Black Pearl ordered people to ring the gong to collect the troops.

At this time, it was nearly four watches, the fog was thick, and it was raining heavily, and the torches on both sides had been extinguished, and the opposite situation could not be seen clearly within three feet.

After the people on the lake approached the Liang warship, they sent a large number of people to immediately attack the Liang warship to take back the booty.

Li Xiaofei and Zhang Mengqi were very puzzled: "Beauty, are you going to give these fifty good ships to the enemy for nothing?" ”

"This is all Mr. Liu's arrangement! Don't say more, Mr. Liu will be responsible if something happens! ”

As he spoke, there was already a cheer in the lake, and iron was originally the rarest thing among the people, and only the imperial court had it.

Nowadays, almost every ship on the big ship has nearly 100 catties of iron scattered on the ship, and the people of the Zhongyi Hall who got on the big ship were overjoyed and raised the iron pieces and shouted wildly.

"Thank you to the imperial court for sending the ship and the iron!"

"Next time, just send the gold and silver too, lest we go and get it!"

"Haha, with such combat power, you dare to come to Dongting Lake to die!"

"This ship is really blind to the imperial court!"

"Zhongyitang will sweep the world and unify Kyushu!"

Listening to the cries and laughter on the lake, Li Xiaofei and the others felt bad in their hearts, and Zhang Mengqi couldn't hold back his sword to fight.

Black Pearl took Zhang Mengqi into his arms with his left hand: "Put down the knife!" ”

Zhang Mengqi refused to put down the knife, and Black Pearl's right hand immediately pinched Zhang Mengqi's tiger's mouth.

Zhang Meng bared his teeth in pain and hurriedly threw away the knife.

"Put down the iron in your hand and stay away! Don't go out! Black Pearl ordered again

Seeing that Zhang Mengqi, who had always been invincible in the barracks, couldn't resist one of this woman's hands, how could everyone dare to disobey the order.

Everyone had no choice but to watch the people of Zhongyitang leave in the barracks on the shore.

The big boat had sailed less than three miles away, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning exploded on the surface of the lake.

After a while, several large fireballs smashed into the big ship, and there was a loud bang.

Li Xiaofei and the others covered their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, wherever there was still a fleet on the lake, they were all turned into fireworks and debris.

Looking at the good news sent back by the Red Flag messenger, Liu Mingge covered his chest, "It's a long life!" Nearly 10,000 people died in the thunderstorm! It's all my poisonous ploy! ”

Liu Jian glanced at the battle report, but his eyes were very complicated, and the ministers waited for a while before they heard Liu Jian say a word

"This Li Xiaofei is worthy of being my lucky general, I don't know how to reward him this time, what do you think?"

Jian Cunyao, the young man in charge of the treasury, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the current treasury is not full, it is said that Lord Li broke the thieves on Dongting Lake this time and obtained countless treasures, only by collecting these treasures first can His Majesty reward meritorious ministers"

"Your Majesty, Jian Shaofu's words are reasonable, the battlefield is captured and returned to the treasury, and it is up to Your Majesty to decide who should be rewarded, which is in line with the laws of the imperial court!" Chen Zhengnan responded

When Liu Jian heard that there were treasures, he immediately came to his senses: "Prime Minister Liu, in your understanding, how many treasures are there?" ”

"Gold and silver are piled up, money is made everywhere, and there are countless cloths, silks, grains and rice," Liu Mingge gave the answer that everyone wanted

Liu Jian found that Liu Mingge's expression was very strange, and he seemed to be smiling

"Prime Minister Liu, have you seen this batch of treasures?"

"The minister guessed blindly! Even if the thieves have a large amount of treasure, they will not all be placed on the small island in Dongting Lake, not to mention that it will not be easily discovered, why are you so sure that Li Xiaofei can get this batch of treasures? ”

The ministers looked at each other, Liu Jian's face also turned red, this Liu Mingge didn't give everyone face.

"The minister thinks that he can send a messenger to check Li Xiaofei's report and check the whereabouts of the treasure!" Shen Yuanhao was naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

Liu Jian is still thinking about this batch of treasures at the moment, after all, the treasury embarrassment is a reality, and Liu Jian's court needs money too much.

As a result of the meeting, three Qincha and internal guards were sent to the area around Dongting Lake to investigate the whereabouts of the treasure.

One of these three Qin Cha is Qin Shun, the head of the inner court treasury in the palace, one is Qin Gou'er, the deputy commander of the internal guard, and the other is Huang Chuanting.

The three of them first went to Huarong County to ask Li Xiaofei's 3,000 men and horses, and then caught many people for questioning, but there was no news about the treasure.

If you can't ask, you will beat people and scare them, and this scare, hundreds of stories about treasures will come out, and you will have no clue.

Li Xiaofei saw them tossing like this, and sooner or later forced out a civil uprising, so he suggested that everyone build a ship together and go to the islands in Dongting Lake to search.

After searching for more than ten days, still found nothing, only found some empty stockades on a few islands, and dug for half a month, but still did not find the so-called treasures.

The three Qin messengers are in trouble and can't find the treasure, how can they return to Beijing to recover their lives?

Huang Chuanting came up with an idea to let every family in the counties along the lake contribute money and goods, and they should also gather enough decent treasures to come out, and those who refused to contribute money would be punished as gangsters.

Li Xiaofei had the intention to stop it, but Qin Shun and Qin Gou'er also thought that this idea was good, so the internal guards still went to search more than ten counties along the lake.

After years of war, even if it was searched, nothing of value could be found, and some pots and jars and even urinals were also searched.

Li Xiaofei looked at the pots and pans piled up in several rooms, and went to find the three Qincha alone.

"Actually, I know the whereabouts of the treasure, it's not that I'm not loyal to the court, but that the treasure has sunk to the bottom of the lake!"

As soon as they heard the whereabouts of the treasure, the three of them all stood up, but they didn't believe Li Xiaofei very much

Li Xiaofei took out a piece of jade pendant, a string of jade beads, and a severed coral from his body: "This was washed up on the shore this morning, and there is still mud and sand on it!" ”

The three of them took these three things and looked at them carefully, and there was indeed mud and sand, and there was also a fishy smell.

The three of them reluctantly believed Li Xiaofei, and after some questioning, they followed Li Xiaofei to the lake to check.

Sure enough, there were some porcelain pieces, pearls and jade scattered around the lake, and the three of them were overjoyed, and ordered someone to pick up these things and load them back to Beijing to recover their lives.

The three of them were originally going to take away the looted things, but Li Xiaofei and Feng Hengshan led troops to intercept them.

Huang Chuanting was furious and accused Li Xiaofei of robbing Qincha, Qin Shun couldn't cry or laugh: "Lord Huang, do you want to have trouble with Lord Li for these urinals?" ”

Feng Hengshan also raised the knife in his hand: "Lord Huang, if a Qin cha is unfortunately killed by the remnants of the thieves and thrown into the lake, we will have to suffer fifty military sticks!" ”

Qin Gou'er grabbed Huang Chuanting: "It's too cheap for you to take these things away, it's better to return them to the people, and you can also leave a good reputation!" ”

As soon as the three Qin left, Li Xiaofei took his 3,000 soldiers and horses to return all the items looted from the counties.

At this time, the good names of Li Qingtian and Li Dashan followed, and the people of Huarong County also set up a temple for Li Xiaofei by the lake.
