Looking back at Lin Shangren, Taifu Zhang Shijie, Prime Minister Lu Xiufu, and Zhou Wenying, the head of soldiers and horses, took the personal guards, stepped on the springboard, and returned to the mysterious shadow loach boats, these shadow loach boats look exactly the same, and they look very shabby, just to confuse the public.

The three giants returned to the shadow loach boat and arched their hands to the people in the forest, and Zhang Shijie said:

"Lin Shangren, Your Majesty's safety is related to the community, forgive the old man for his disrespectful crimes."

Before the words fell, I saw that although the sails of the shadow loach boat had been thrown into the sea, the oars were rowed in unison, and soon the speed was added, and it moved in the direction of the pleasure boat.

Lin Xi stood on the deck and gave it up.

By the time the shadow loach boat was only a dozen breaths, it had already left ten positions, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the wisdom of the ancients again.

At this time, Tu Xi came up and said:

"Venerable Master, I once heard Ma Deshan say that there are some clippers in the army, which are specially painted, and if arsenic is added to the paint, the shells will not grow on the bottom of the ship, so that the speed of the ship will be the same as that of a new ship.

Some new ships are half as fast as older ones.

Also, the oarsmen use, the strength is twice as large as the ordinary people, the paddles used are also good paddles, the drill is extremely strict, can be one or two percent faster than the ordinary boat, and the endurance is good, if the number of oarsmen is large, the use of double oarsmen, then the durability will be much larger, but the bilge of the oars needs to be specially processed, and the more is added to three times.

In the army, there are many guards in the army, the Imperial City Division, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are many people outside who don't know the inside story, as well as the naval armies of various guards in various places, so it is normal for the Taifu, the prime minister, and the general manager to have some secret methods. ”

Lin Xi asked, "Do you think they will be able to catch up with the two yachts?" ”

Tu Xicai thought for a while and replied: "Back to the Venerable's words, although I am also in the navy now, but to be honest, it is a foot army, a boat, there are too many changes, too big, it is not good to say, if the number of people on the yacht is small, or the strength of the sergeant is too small, it can outrun the ordinary loach boat." ”

Lin Xi said: "That is to say, if they are also elite, the cruise ship will be faster than the loach boat?" ”

Tu Xicai said: "The lower officials don't dare to speculate. ”

Lin Xi said, "Come back to the cabin with me first, let the brothers anchor and change places first." ”

Back in the cabin, Lin Xi asked Huiniang to close the hatch, and then said to Tu Xicai: "Don't make a sound when you see anything." ”

Tu Xicai said, "Obey the Venerable Master's order!" ”

Lin Xi said: "Sister Liuliu, please Queen Mother, Your Majesty." ”

Sister Liuliu was slightly blessed, took a small lotus step, as if floating over, opened the curtain of the inner room, and then, Empress Dowager Yang wore the clothes of an ordinary palace maid, and the little emperor wore the clothes of a small chamberlain, and walked out with a strange face.

Lin Xi took the lead in making a table and said, "Serve tea"

Tu Xicai's eyes widened in surprise, Hui Niang looked at Tu Xicai sternly with her eyes, and patted Tu Xicai's arm, Tu Xicai finally controlled his voice, pointed with his fingers, and finally quieted down.

Empress Dowager Yang bowed slightly, and said, "The Venerable Master is shrewd, and it is really extraordinary. ”

Lin Xi nodded slightly: "Queen Mother, now is not the time to relax." ”

Tu Xicai couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "Venerable Master, how do you know, know which are the bad people, and how did you turn the Queen Mother and the Emperor back." ”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Yang sneered, and then the whole cabin was filled with faint laughter.

The little emperor also spoke: "Venerable Master, you are also very curious, how can you see through the conspiracy at a glance, and be able to arrange it so ingeniously in advance? ”

Lin Xi said: "You stumped me with this question, if I could really know earlier, let Manager Zhou arrest them." I do feel a bit much, but the reason for this preparation is that the people who came here were in a hurry, but the story was too reasonable, too perfect, so, either it was fake, or it was a coincidence, and the coincidence was unlikely, then the fake one was very likely.

Since it's fake, then we don't know how many hole cards the opponent has?

But since the other party is so sure, it must be a lot.

Then, we can only make more preparations for ourselves and attack them by surprise.

Among them, the safety of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty comes first. ”

Empress Dowager Yang felt that the complexity of the matter suddenly far exceeded her imagination, who could have known that the senior manager of the inner chamberlain, the leader on duty, was actually a pseudo-yuan person?

The letter soldier under the command of Sima, who was the first to come up to report the news, replied how normal it was, but the two boats that followed were all pseudo-Yuan people. It's like magic, who's true and who's fake, and is there a quasi-number?

Now when I hear Lin Shangren say that the safety of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty comes first, there is a warm current in my heart, and I can't help but cry a little.

Lin Xi was thinking closely, and suddenly felt the change in Empress Dowager Yang's mood, but she thought that Empress Dowager Yang was too nervous, and habitually persuaded Empress Dowager Yang like a child: "Yang Yang Mo cry, it won't look good if you cry, and it will be difficult for the girl's family to marry in the future, be nice." The teacher will find a way for the baby. ”

As he spoke, he sank into thought again, sometimes frowning, sometimes flicking his fingers around.

Empress Dowager Yang didn't react at first, but then when she heard this kind of comforting words, her heart was warm again, and her spirit relaxed, and then, she quickly realized that this was not the words that the Empress Dowager should accept.

Thinking like this, he looked up, but saw that Lin Shangren didn't care at all, as if his aura of treating everyone as children was so relaxing, and then, seeing that Lin Shangren was so confined to deep thought, he asked in a complicated mood: "Lin Shangren ......"

Lin Xi now, but he no longer has the energy to pay attention to the outside world, and the changes in the situation should be far beyond his expectations, although he said to himself again and again that there are many strange people and strange things in the world, but there are so many of them...... Trouble God, the child can't handle it.

At this time, Lin Xi exhaled, then let's learn more about the situation, there is no endless road.

As soon as I came back to my senses, I heard Empress Dowager Yang call softly: "Lin Shangren ......"

Lin Xi reacted and asked, "Queen Mother, call me, what's the matter?" ”

When Liu Liudu saw Lin Xi return to his senses, he felt that he needed to explain the situation for the Empress Dowager, so he said, "Venerable Master, the Empress Dowager has already called the Venerable Master more than ten times. ”

Lin Xi immediately showed an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted, what did you say?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang rarely communicates with people like this, without scruples, clear and transparent, and at the same time cares and cares, and there is no lack of affection, Empress Dowager Yang feels a little wrong in her heart, a little nervous, but soon, her upbringing calmed her, and she said: "Lin Shangren, the mourning family wants to ask, now the Venerable Master thinks what to do." ”

Lin Xi raised the teacup and took a sip: "To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet, the situation is too complicated, my experience for so many years is mainly to do children's education, although I have also been an executive of more than a dozen companies, but we have too many rules and different weapons for this kind of thing, which is unprofessional." ”

Thinking about it, as he spoke, Lin Xi glanced at the Queen Mother, and saw that her eyes were shiny and full of moisture, so she said again: "But don't worry, now our boat, if you want to run, no one can stop it." It's just that you orphans and widows can't wander with you. ”

Empress Dowager Yang's mood fluctuated, and she choked up slightly: "Is the situation already so bad?" However, the Venerable Master does not have to mind, we have been wandering for a long time......

Lin Xi found that Empress Dowager Yang was particularly unstable now, and felt that this was an indirect manifestation of battlefield syndrome, and was a little anxious, so he said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager relax, it will be a little difficult, but it is not so difficult, you have too much pressure, come, I will do some stress relief exercises for you, okay." ”

Empress Dowager Yang felt that "Sharptooth Cao" might be a good thing, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so she could only say, "Okay, please teach me." ”

Lin Xi said: "It's not difficult at all, come, just sit down, Sister Liuliu, you stand behind the Queen Mother and hold the Queen Mother's back"

Liu Liudu Zhangzhi felt very strange, but he didn't know what to say, so he walked behind the Queen Mother, raised his hands, and wanted to hold the Queen Mother, but felt that it was not etiquette, so a pair of hands seemed to shake up, up and down several times, and Lin Xihaha, who watched it, laughed, walked to the side of the Queen Mother, grabbed Sister Liuliu's hands, pressed to the position of the Queen Mother's shoulder blades, and then put the two palms and gently held the Queen Mother's shoulders, and then said with satisfaction: "Very good, that's all"

Then Lin Xi did it in front of the Queen Mother, slowly drew a circle with his left hand on the vertical plane, and then moved his head and neck more widely, just like talking to a child: "Come, we are going to do stress relief exercises, what about this, very, very comfortable, of course, it is also very, very fun, Oh Kai, now, look at my left hand, follow my left hand, and turn your eyes?" ”

Lin Xi gradually moved his gaze from Empress Dowager Yang's eyes to his left hand.

After a while, he still turned his left hand while looking at the eyes of the Queen Mother, and when he saw the eyes of the Queen Mother, he was already looking at his palm, and then slowly changed the trajectory of his palm, becoming less regular, but the speed was still slow, and he said: "Now, think about it, what makes you the most sad, don't say it, just think about that thing." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she remembered the days of running for her life on the road, tears flowed out at once, and she couldn't suppress her desperately, and then she cried out loud.

At this time, Lin Xi said again: "Okay, just cry out, bad things will pass, look at this hand, the faster and faster it turns, what kind of suffering things are scattered with the wind and broken by the wind." ”

At the same time, the circle of Lin Xi's palm rotated smoothly upward along the vertical plane, and then smoothly moved downward, faster and faster, but still allowed Empress Dowager Yang to keep up with it relatively easily.

Suddenly, the left palm was thrown far to the left, then turned back to the right, and then far to the left.

Lin Xi said again: "Okay, okay, it's all thrown out, my Yang Yang is good, don't be afraid......"

Lin Xi then returned to the round, soft circle of his left hand, and then continued: "Okay, sleep well, wake up, everything will be fine, close your eyes quietly, close your eyes slowly, lie back, willow support you, sleep with peace of mind, there is a warm vitality around Yang Yang, but comfortable, the heart is warm, the stomach is warm, the waist is warm, the legs are warm, the feet are warm, and the body is soft."

At this time, Empress Dowager Yang had already softened, and her eyelashes and eyelids were fluctuating rapidly.

Liu Liu hurriedly changed his two arms from holding his shoulders to supporting the Queen Mother's entire waist and back.

Lin Xi saw that the Queen Mother had relaxed, and then said: "Okay, everything will be fine, wake up slowly, there is still the emperor to take care of." Slowly, we're waking up. ”

Empress Dowager Yang opened her eyes, as if the whole body seemed to come back to life, the mood was extraordinarily happy, although the strength was still a little insufficient, but felt that the spirit was unprecedentedly good, she vaguely remembered, just now or when, there was a gentle strength and care, around her, later, she let go of her heart, from the depths of her heart, gushing out of the hot spring, and then the hot spring, full of the chest, and then the heat flow to the stomach, to the lower back, the original stiffness and coldness of the back, also relieved, then, the warm heat flow, rushed to the lower abdomen, the lower part of the original painful cold, the ice was also dissolving, and even a stream of heat flowed into the most secret depths, and then the heat flowed to the knees, calves, ankles, and then the body floated softly, I don't know how long, she was awake.

"Yes, I'm sober" Empress Dowager Yang was thinking like this, and her eyes saw Lin Shangren's big eyes looking at her eyes, Empress Dowager Yang had never seen anyone look at herself so intently, and it seemed that a pair of eyes illuminated her mind, and a sense of security came up, but immediately, Empress Dowager Yang felt that such a gaze was so unruly, so she smiled apologetically: "Lin Shangren, mourning is much better...... And that's ...... Many ...... Be there."

After saying this, Empress Dowager Yang reacted in surprise, this is very inappropriate, what does it mean that there are many people present? Isn't it okay if no one is there?

Liu Liudu was stunned, what is the situation? Because she can't see the situation in front of her, but anyway, everything is at the command of the Queen Mother. However, it does seem to be a little bit, that, or something......

Lin Xi thought for a while, reacted, and thought that it was Empress Dowager Yang because of her identity and etiquette, it seems that she should go to this heterotope, and the chairman said, which mountain to sing which mountain song.

So he said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, I don't think so, I see that you are under too much mental pressure, so I will give you an eye movement decompression, you can rest assured, I didn't let you talk about your own affairs, everything is in your own heart, do you feel a lot more relaxed now?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang was relieved at this time, and she had a little bit of a face (note: nǎnyán, blushing because of shame), so she said to Lin Xi: "The mourning family is wrong to blame the Venerable Master."

Seeing a slight sweat on Lin Xi's forehead, he asked strangely, "Why did the Venerable Master look haggard when he saw sweat on his forehead, but because of the spell?" ”

Lin Xi touched his forehead, and sure enough, the sweat was slightly wet, and he thought, he has been too weak recently, this level of mind can't withstand wear and tear, and he doesn't know how much damage there is to the crossing, but he also thinks that there are two arrow wounds, as well as flooding and low temperature damage, which is nothing, so he smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother, forgive me, this trip is indeed too badly damaged, and the age is here, so I have already seen sweat after such a little work." It seems that in the future, you can only work your own, and my strength alone is limited. ”

Empress Dowager Yang: "......"

After thinking about it, the Queen Mother didn't have anything to say.

At this time, Liu Liu Du Zhangzhi saw that the Queen Mother was already sitting upright, so he withdrew his two arms, and stood behind the Queen Mother again, Lin Xi felt a little tired, and saw that Sister Liu Liu was behind, so he said, Sister Liu Liu, you also sit.

Sister Liuliu was startled and replied: "Bingshangren, Xiaguan, Queen Mother, Queen Mother sit in front, where is the seat of Xiaguan." ”

Lin Xi suddenly thought about it again, and felt that he was really old and confused? And he stopped talking.

At this time, Tu Xi saw the opportunity to open his mouth and asked, "Venerable Master, before we close the cabin door, I will let the brothers go south, and if the Venerable Master has any instructions, I will let the brothers arrange them." ”

Lin Xi remembered that just now for the mood of Empress Dowager Yang, he did a psychotherapy, it was really exhausting, okay, a problem was solved, no, half of the problem was solved, and the biggest problem was to be solved next.

Lin Xi thought for a while, asked people to take out the Kuntu (map), and asked Tu Xicai: "Where are we now?" ”

Tu Xicai looked for a while and found an area on the Kun map: "Venerable Master, about here, about three miles to the north, is the original Sima Command Department, let's go one or two miles to the south, roughly the Chinese army, but the Privy Council military room, for the sake of secrecy, is not mainly in the flagship of the Chinese army, but there are more opportunities to appear in the Chinese army." ”

Lin Xi asked again: "How to distribute the pseudo-yuan?" ”

Tu Xicai said:

"Venerable Master, you are all embarrassed for me, the Privy Council, the Chief Military Officer, the Front Division of the Palace, the Imperial City Division, and even the commanders of the various armies, all have spies, but we don't, your Xuan Yiwei, now there are less than 500 people in total, and we are now on this boat, all of them combined, less than 400 people, this is still counting part of the oarsmen, because some of the oarsmen are counted as Xuan Yiwei's people.

Some of Xuan Yiwei and Xuan Yilu went out to help the various command fleets, so at present, less than one-third. Well, almost all of the 100 or so master craftsmen who will be the prisoners of Song are on the ship, because they make the firearms you confessed. The other women, children, and old have already docked on the shore, because their drinking water has also been solved, and those things that need to be smelted have also been placed on the shore.

Moreover, it is also because I have a good personal relationship with Brother Ma Desheng, otherwise I don't know so many things.

However, I heard that directly opposite Sima's system was the most arrogant Turuk department of the pseudo-yuan.

As for the Chinese army of the pseudo-yuan, it must be the same as us. ”

Tu Xicai looked at Lin Xi's mouth and suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Venerable Master, you don't plan to use your ship to go to war, do you?" ”

Lin Xileng paused: "Isn't it okay?" ”

Tu Xi looked at Lin Xi for a moment, then at Empress Dowager Yang, and pursed his lips, but still said, "Master, there are no soldiers on our ship?" ”

Lin Xi said strangely: "Didn't you just say that there are 500 people on our boat?" Xuan Yiwei has a third, that is more than 170 people? Isn't Xuan Yiwei a soldier? ”
