Then he lifted the quilt, lifted the man who slept between the two women out of bed, took him under his armpit, took his clothes and shoes, opened the door and left quickly.

Leaving the room, after glancing at the man's face in the dim starlight, he was sure that this was the target.

Although there was no sentry, when returning to the garden, Zhang Liu was also very careful, unwilling to leave any clues that could be inquired about. Even if he can leave Shenglong City safely, he may not be able to leave Li Yue safely, in order not to cause any extraneous branches, this Prince Li Yue must be silent and disappear for no reason, and no one must find out that he was robbed by someone, otherwise it will be difficult to leave Li Yue.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Liu returned to the garden, brushed aside the bushes, jumped into the cave with Prince Li Yue in his pocket, quickly passed through the tunnel, and easily returned to the outside of the city wall.

Everyone outside the city had been waiting for a long time, and they were all worried, and when they saw Zhang Liu safely bringing people back, they hurriedly helped pull people up from the hole.

Luo Cong was excited, and could only say: "It's a blessing." ”

Zhang Liuyi raised his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter." ”

Now that the person has arrived, Shi Xing's henchmen quickly backfilled the soil on the side of the tunnel into the hole, while Luo Cong hurriedly took the person to the river.

Shi Xing's boat had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw that people were caught, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly picked them up on the boat.

"Let's go!" Shi Xing gave an order, and the cargo ship quickly left the shore and went down the river.

The area around Thang Long belongs to the alluvial plain, after the rivers pass through this place, the flow speed is not fast, and at this time, the northeast wind prevails, and it is very fast to travel 100 miles a day. From Thang Long City to the eastern sea, the waterway is nearly 400 miles, and it takes three days at the earliest.

What will happen in three days, they don't know. In Li Yue's land, Luo Cong can only pin all his hopes on Shi Xing, hoping that he can settle everything.

..........

Not far from the capital of the city of Champong, there is a bay, dozens of large and small ships are parked in the bay, there are large buildings around the bay, and there are many fertile fields outside the buildings.

At this time, this place is busy assembling, a team of 1,000 people, divided into two battalions on the left and right.

This is exactly the Great Song Army.

Early this morning, Mr. Zhang finally had a clear reply, the Great Song garrison can be transferred to the northern border for a period of time, and the border defenders will also cooperate with the drill for ten days, only one condition was proposed, if Li Yue turned his head to attack the city, the Great Song garrison could not stand idly by.

Zhancheng is thousands of miles away from Lin'an, the army left behind in the Great Song Dynasty is still managed by Zhang Biao himself, the imperial court did not give any appointment documents, nor did he send officials to manage, the conditions of the Zhancheng people, Zhang Biao can of course call the shots.

After the Xuanwei Army established a stronghold here, there were many Song people who came to take refuge, and there were almost 2,000 people in the entire stronghold, and many of them simply joined the Xuanwei Army, trained and worked together with the Xuanwei Army, and the 1,000 Xuanwei Army two years ago has now reached 1,500 people.

After the assembly, Zhang Biao and Pan Cheng each led a battalion of men and horses, went straight to the northern border of the city state, and marched rapidly day and night.

The commander of the border garrison had received an urgent letter from Vijaya half a day in advance, and as soon as the remaining army of the Great Song Dynasty arrived, he immediately opened the city to let them pass, and then sent 10,000 people out of the city to cooperate with the Great Song army to practice the military formation in the next mile of the city.

The empty field outside the city, quiet for more than a year, was once again broken by the sound of sonic vibration of the mountain.

...........

Five miles away, Li Yue Border City, yesterday evening received an urgent report from Hejing City, at this time is urgently gathering, preparing to go north to support Hejing City.

Suddenly, a spy came to report that the army on the border of the city had left the city, and the city was full of people, I don't know how many there were, and an army had entered the territory of Li Yue.

The people of the city never dared to go out of the city to provoke, and the defenders who had just been assembled were immediately disbanded, and everyone returned to defend the city.

.........

Ha Jing City has been taken for two days, and the order of life in the city is being restored, and the city is being further strengthened.

Two days ago, there was a fierce battle, the Xuanwei army suffered a lot of losses, but fortunately, the city was successfully taken, and the Xuanwei army was also replenished with sufficient food, even if the army besieged the city, there was no problem in holding it for a month, but the problem was that the strength of this city was not enough to resist the army of 350,000.

I don't know if the tens of thousands of Li Yue's army in the south, Pan Cheng and Zhang Biao have been contained, Su Zhong really has no bottom in his heart, if he can't contain it, they will either die in battle or flee back to the sea, this is not the ending he wants.

It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, after taking Hejing City, it was changed to Jingzhou, according to the precedent, the government officials attached to the Great Song Dynasty were exempted from death, and the officials were reinstated, and immediately organized the people to make every effort to strengthen and raise the city, and those who were ineffective were directly taken down and imprisoned.

After two days of hard work by the people of the city, the city was finally stronger, but it was far from enough to resist the army of 350,000, according to Su Zhong's imagination, it was necessary to thicken the entire city by another five feet, and the city wall should be eight feet high, and there would be no bricks and stones, so go and burn.

Su Zhong is ready to fight a protracted battle in Jingzhou, and he is going to decide on the merit of attacking the city and plundering the land!

........

Li Viet Royal City, Thang Long City, Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, the officials of the royal palace came to report that the second prince is gone." The chamberlain retribution.

Li Yuewang, who was in his fifties, was a little surprised: "He wasn't looking for fun all day long, how could he be gone?" ”

The chamberlain said: "The official report, the prince called a lot of eunuchs and children to drink together until late at night last night, after those children left, the prince also rested, but at noon they went to find the prince, only to find that the prince was not in the room, the woman who accompanied the prince said that the prince slept with them, and when he woke up in the morning, he didn't see the prince, and he didn't know when the prince left, and the palace looked for a long time, and they all said that after last night, no one had seen the prince." ”

"It must be the negligence of his subordinates who let him sneak out, and he came to report it for fear of taking responsibility, and he didn't care about them, and the state affairs mattered. The north is not going well, and Ha Tinh is captured again, so you go and call the other families to discuss the war. King Li Yue commanded.

The waiter replied and hurried to give the order.

An hour later, Thang Long City was in chaos, and there was a constant flow of chariots, horses, and goods appeared on the streets of the city, some crossing the river to the north, and some driving south.

The war in the north has been prepared for many years, and it took a lot of effort to take Zhennan Pass, Yulin Prefecture, and Yongzhou.

As long as the southern border army returns to the division, Ha Jing can be recovered immediately, and the location of Ha Jing is not important, so it is not easy to go south and not get benefits, and it is not easy to go north. But it is not possible to take back Hejing, as long as time passes, the people's will will inevitably be shaken and the army's morale will fluctuate.

Therefore, the war in the north must continue to be fought, and Yongzhou should be taken as the foundation, and Ha Jing should be recovered as soon as possible to calm the panic of the people.

In this way, no one cares about the missing prince anymore, and he can't distract himself from looking for him and delaying state affairs.

No one checked or obstructed, Luo Cong, Shi Xing and his party went down the river, a hundred miles a day, and it was quite smooth.

Three days later, the terrain in the east was flatter, and the river branches increased, but fortunately, Shi Xing personally ran a few boats and was still familiar with the waterway. You can only choose the tributary closest to the east, but I hope that Yang Congyi's ship is due east, otherwise you will waste too much time.

A day later, the cargo ship arrived at the beach, but there was not a single ship to be seen overseas, and that night, Luo Cong lit a large bonfire on the beach.

When they parted ways with Yang Congyi, the two had already made an appointment, and five days later, the warship would pass back and forth once a day through the sea east of Thang Long, and if they succeeded, they would use a bonfire as a number.

The deserted beach, the day after the bonfire was lit, a large ship approached.

"It's here!" Luo Cong was overjoyed and shouted excitedly.

Shi Xing was also very happy to see the warship, but then came endless sentimentality, he hadn't been home for a long time, Da Song and Li Yue were fighting fiercely, he couldn't go back even if he wanted to, the imperial court still needed his information, how could he leave Shenglong at this time, and he didn't want to leave this place where he could establish meritorious deeds, he wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors.

Seeing the warship in his field of vision gradually approaching, two miles, one mile, Luo Cong asked happily: "Shi Xing, will you go back with us?" ”

Shi Xing shook his head, squeezing out some smiles on his face: "There are still so many brothers in Shenglong, I can't leave them alone, I won't go back with you this time, and I'll talk about it next time I have a chance." ”

"You can't be reluctant to give up those family businesses in Thang Long City, right?" Luo Cong glanced at Shi Xing and said with a smile.

"To be honest, it's really reluctant, it's all the blood and sweat of the brothers who fought with their lives, and the brothers still have to rely on it to make a living in Thang Long City, otherwise they will have to sleep on the streets." Shi Xing was still laughing.

Luo Cong didn't say anything more, he hadn't seen each other for two years, and he found that Shi Xing had changed a lot, and sometimes although he still had a lot on his mind, he was a lot more cheerful, and he became more calm and mature.

In Thang Long City, they took care of their own things, and had no time to talk about things outside the task, in the past few days on the ship, they had more time, and they each talked about their experiences, through Shi Xing's narration, he felt that Shi Xing's tenacity and courage were stronger than him, and he could create an industry that sheltered nearly thirty people without nothing, it was really not simple, anyway, he couldn't do it, maybe Shi Xing's achievements in the future would far exceed those of them.

The ship approached, looking at the Xuanwei Army standing on the bow deck with neat and bright clothes, the corners of Shi Xing's eyes were slightly moist, when would he be able to put on the Great Song Army armor again and return to Lin'an with his glory?

Luo Cong held his clothes high on the seashore and kept waving them.

A quarter of an hour later, the warship docked.

At the sound of an order, the bow of the ship was lowered and the bridge was lowered.

Without waiting for Yang Congyi, who was standing at the bow of the boat, to speak, Luo Cong reported loudly: "Prison Army, everything is going well, we have succeeded." ”

"Bring it with you and return immediately!" Yang Congyi had already known that they had completed their task, and the excitement had passed, and he was now thinking more about how to keep it secret, how to send people to He Jianjun safely, or send them back to Lin'an directly.

Luo Cong and the others got the order and quickly lifted the people out of the bilge of the cargo ship and transferred them to the warship.

"I've seen Yang Jianjun!" Shi Xing stood on the shore and did not get on the boat.

"How have you been lately?" After the target was transferred to the ship, Yang Congyi walked off the bridge and came to the shore.

"All the best!" Shi Xing replied, handing a thick envelope to Yang Congyi as he spoke.

Yang Congyi took it in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, go on, I can't leave you now, and when the time is right, I will take you back." Immediately, as soon as he waved to the boat, a sergeant carried a large package down and handed it to Shi Xing.

"Take it, it's your money and money."

Shi Xing took it in his hand, felt very heavy, and thanked: "Thank you for the prison army!" ”

"There will be a date later!" Yang Congyi turned around and boarded the warship.

"Take care of the overseers!"

The ships quickly left the coast and headed east.

Shi Xing looked at the smaller and smaller warships on the sea, tears welled up in his eyes, and he didn't want to look back for a long time.
