Chapter 291: Chen Shubao
The river wind stirred the flags on the wharf, and rows of soldiers stood on both sides of the dock early. All the ships that docked at the pier outside Gangneung City were blocked upstream and downstream, and only the warships of the sailors flew back and forth on the empty river.
"Here we are." Pei Zilie squinted his eyes slightly and said in a low voice. Maybe it's because the sun on Jiangling's side is a little stronger than that in Jiankang Mansion, so Pei Zilie looks a lot darker, and Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian around him are not much better than him.
Just on the edge of the sky, a small shadow appeared, and then it became bigger and bigger, and behind this shadow, more ships appeared in the field of vision, bigger and bigger, especially the few Huanglong giant ships in the middle, which occupied half of the river, plus the surrounding escort ships, it can really be said to cover the sky and the sun.
After a brief silence, the people watching the bustle behind the pier suddenly erupted in exclamation. They grew up by the river, and it was not that they had never seen a warship, but it was the first time they had seen such a huge warship. For these Xiajiang people who don't know how much strength and hole cards they still have, the people of Jiangling have a new understanding.
Several Huanglong giant ships came out of the crowd and slowly leaned towards the dock, and the generals and officials led by Xiao Maha standing on the dock all subconsciously straightened their clothes that were a little messy by the wind.
Nan Chen's sailor's boat handling skills are well-deserved first in this world, so although the boat is huge, it still docks smoothly and smoothly, and the gangplank is put down, with several sailors will take the lead to get off the boat, followed by a few figures, so that the people on the dock have a sense of familiarity.
The first person who came was Zhou Qu, the middle concubine of the prince of the East Palace, and then Mao Xi, the general of the right guard, escorted a chubby, honest-looking middle-aged man and walked down.
Although this was actually the first time he had seen him, Li Xinchen was already very sure who this person was.
Prince Nan Chen, Chen Shubao.
Looking at this future monarch who is more famous in history because of his song "Yushu Backyard Flower" and the beautiful concubine Zhang Lihua, Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything, and stepped forward with Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian.
"Xiao Maha, the governor of Jingzhou and the hussar general, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Xiao Mahalang bowed his hand. Lu Guangda and other generals who followed him also saluted.
Chen Shubao laughed and said, "General Xiao, we really haven't seen each other for a long time, and I want to kill you!" ”
While speaking, Chen Shubao stepped forward and patted Xiao Maha on the shoulder, if he didn't know a little etiquette and didn't have any interest in men, Li Xinchen doubted that this guy would come up and be a bear hug.
Suddenly, there was silence on the entire wharf, and Lu Guangda and other generals and officials who had not dealt with Chen Shubao before were silent for a while. And Xiao Maha forcibly endured the black line on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The minister is terrified. This place is simple, and the wind on the river is strong, so it is not suitable to stay for too long, and please move to the city with Your Highness. ”
"Okay, listen to you!" Chen Shubao's attention was obviously not on this, and he turned his gaze straight to the surroundings, but was more interested in the rolling green hills in the distance. And Zhou Qu and Mao Xi, who were standing beside Chen Shubao, were speechless, but they could see that the other party's face was not very good.
And Li Xinchen also looked at Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others at this time.
This fat man······ Are you sure it's the prince, not the tease sent by Chen Ji?
Of course, Li Xinchen and others didn't know that Chen Shubao had been pampered since he was a child, coupled with his natural joy and good poetry and fun, but for so many years, he didn't even have the opportunity to step out of the surroundings of Jiankang Mansion.
Now that he finally got the opportunity to come to this Jiangling, almost all the courtiers who followed behind the ship were the courtiers of the East Palace, and the people standing on the dock were all generals loyal to the East Palace.
At this time, Chen Shubao was like a canary who had been locked in a cage for a long time, and now he was finally able to soar under the vast sky.
At this time, Guangluqing Gu Yewang and Luo Ya, who also began to disembark, looked at Chen Shubao's back, with a little worry in their eyes.
Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian and other young generals also greeted Chen Shubao and others one after another, but obviously Chen Shubao did not have much interest in these young people who had emerged in this war, just a few words of lazy greetings to them, and he was busy urging Xiao Maha to quickly find a place for him to eat and drink, rest and rest.
In desperation, Xiao Maha could only obey the order, looking at the figure of Chen Shubao leaving, Li Xinchen frowned, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "His Royal Highness the Prince······ It was really unexpected. ”
Pei Zilie tilted his head slightly: "Shizhong, be cautious!" ”
"The brothers are working hard under Gangneung City, in Jinan City, and Zhangshan City, in order to obtain the reward of such a person." Xiao Shilian snorted, "It's really worth working hard for such a person!" ”
Xiao Shilian bit the last two words very hard, and everyone understood that he was talking the opposite. And Pei Zilie said in a deep voice: "Boqing, you ······"
"What Boqing said makes sense, but it doesn't make sense." Li Xinchen said lightly at this time, "It's true that we are working hard, but we are not working hard for him······"
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie Huo Ran looked at Li Xinchen, Xiao Shilian was obviously a little excited, and Pei Zilie was more helpless and worried, obviously he couldn't find any evidence to refute Li Xinchen, because Chen Shubao's words and deeds and what he asked for were proving that Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian were right.
Chen Baxian and Chen Ji's descendants are like this now.
Xiao Shilian nodded solemnly: "That's right, we fought bloodily so that our relatives, the land and water, and the people of this side are not ······ from the war."
"Boqing!" Pei Zilie hurriedly interrupted Xiao Shilian, what Xiao Shilian said was what everyone was saying, but it was not good in the public after all.
However, it was obvious that the civil and military officials on the dock were paying attention to Chen Shubao, so no one noticed what the three young people standing on the side were talking about.
Just as Xiao Shilian was about to say something, a crisp voice suddenly sounded.
"Brother!" Li Li'er ran to Li Xinchen's side in surprise, if it weren't for the fact that there were still people watching around, I am afraid that this girl would not be able to help but pounce directly into Li Xinchen's arms.
And Xiao Qing, the little girl who followed her, was even more out of breath, her little face was flushed, and she didn't know if she was tired or excited, but she still barely squeezed out a smile at Xiao Shilian:
"Big brother, we're coming!"
