Chapter Seventy-Seven: Reinforcements Arrive

Duan Tiande was dragged away with boundless resentment and depression, looking at Duan Tiande's distant back, Li Zhen sighed leisurely: "Sure enough, the one called Duan Tiande is not a good thing. ”

"......" Cheng Chuliang didn't know Duan Tiande's stalk, so he naturally didn't understand the meaning of Li Zhen's words, so he just asked, "Your Highness, what should I do next?" ”

"What to do?" Li Zhen gave him a strange look: "Since the assassin is gone, the banquet will continue to open...... There are so many delicious foods, what a pity not to eat them? You can't fall down, can you? …… And look at you, what a good dish, it's all overturned, it's a waste, hurry up and let people clean it, let's continue to eat, and there will be a lot of good dishes next. ”

"Huh?" Everyone exclaimed in unison, looking at Li Zhen in disbelief: I was assassinated just now, and the assassins haven't been killed yet, so you still have to continue the banquet? How big is your heart?

Li Zhen took it for granted and said, "Ah what? It's rare for us to win a battle, and we can't just mess up because of a small assassin, right? If every time we hold a banquet in the future, the enemy will give us a wave of assassinations, then will we not have a banquet for the rest of our lives? Isn't this a choking waste? Besides, if such a good dish is discarded like this, it will be a huge waste. ”

"That's right." Cheng Chuliang nodded again and again, but he was full of slander in his heart, although it is not good to say that it is not good to waste food because of choking, but you are too calm, right? That assassin almost killed you.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, let's have a feast quickly, so many dishes will be cold if you don't eat them." Li Zhen is really not nervous, because even if there is no sharp blade to guard, Li Zhen himself has the means to save the day - no matter how cruel this Tiande is, he is just a cook after all, although he is a little brave, but compared with Li Zhen, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, he is still a little worse, he was just startled at the beginning, so he didn't react, and when Duan Tiande stabbed the third blow, Li Zhen had already come to his senses, and even planned to fight back, but the blade just blocked it for him, Li Zhen didn't have to work harder, otherwise he would have to make a move.

"Yes."

The banquet continued to start, but everyone's faces were not very good-looking, in their opinion, if it wasn't for the timely appearance of the blade, Li Zhen might really have an accident this time, and then they would all be finished. Therefore, in the next banquet, they not only did the security work to the extreme, almost every dish had to be checked thoroughly, and even the plates for serving dishes were replaced with wooden plates, and their eyes were always on Li Zhen, for fear that something would happen to him again, so they didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food at all. And being watched by so many people, even Li Zhen couldn't stand it a little, and she was very depressed in her heart, so she could only end the banquet hastily and let them all get out.

……

Li Zhen was woken up: "Your Highness, Your Highness? Wake up......"

"Huh?" Li Zhen opened her eyes with difficulty, still a little confused: "Have we arrived in Lingnan?" How can it be so fast? ”

"Your Highness, wake up." Cheng Chuliang couldn't cry or laugh: "Our reinforcements have arrived." ”

"Oh, it's here." Li Zhen rubbed his eyes, he was tired yesterday, and he fell asleep immediately after the banquet, but he didn't close his eyes for long before he was woken up by Cheng Chuliang.

"Wait a minute?" Li Zhen suddenly woke up: "What reinforcements?" Where did we get the reinforcements? We don't seem to be asking for help, are we? ”

This is really strange, after a battle yesterday, he didn't ask for help, how could there be reinforcements coming?

"It's a subordinate who asked for help." Cheng Chuliang explained: "At the beginning, my subordinates didn't know that Your Highness had other arrangements, so after our cannon popped up the problem, we immediately sent a carrier pigeon to ask Fang Yiai for help, and after receiving our distress pigeon, Fang Yiai immediately set off with Lin Fa and his fleet, and ran all night, but when they arrived, we even ended the celebration banquet...... Your Highness, don't you know, Fang Yiai's face is as black as the bottom of the pot, I really laugh to death...... Hahaha......"

"What?" Who knew that after Li Zhen heard this, she was immediately shocked: "Why didn't you send a letter to Fang Yiai afterwards to relieve the danger?" ”

Cheng Chuliang didn't notice Li Zhen's face, and continued to say indifferently: "Oh, the situation at that time was so urgent, and there were so many things after the war, where did the subordinates have time to think about this?" By the time the subordinates remembered it, Fang Yiai had already come...... What's wrong, Your Highness? Is something wrong? ”

It wasn't until now that Cheng Chuliang noticed Li Zhen's ugly face.

"Oh no, you've fallen for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Li Zhen's face was very ugly, but he didn't say anything, just sighed: "All this is the enemy's conspiracy, from our siege, to the failure of the shell and your letter for help, all this is in the enemy's calculations, you have been fooled......"

"What? Your Highness, are you saying that the real target of the enemy is Luzon? Cheng Chuliang was not a fool, he quickly analyzed the enemy's plan from Li Zhen's words - by creating all kinds of desperate situations, Cheng Chuliang would have a sense of urgency, and then attack the nearest Luzon Protectorate for help. Fang Yiai is Li Zhen's absolute confidant, he has followed Li Zhen since he was three years old, it is absolutely impossible for him to watch Li Zhen have an accident, so after getting the distress information, he will definitely come to the rescue of Li Zhen with a large army.

And the place where Li Zhen was trapped was at sea, and if he wanted to effectively rescue, he could only use the fleet.

There are a total of two fleets in the entire Luzon, and the closest to Fang Yiai is naturally the Coconut Harbor Fleet headquartered in Coconut Harbor, the situation is urgent, and Fang Yiai only has this fleet, or only this detachment stationed in Coconut Harbor can be called, and Fang Yiai also did this, he transferred the elite of the entire Coconut Harbor Fleet to the fleet, leaving only some old and weak people left in Coconut Harbor to watch their families.

But there is only this detachment in the entire Coconut Harbor, once it is transferred, then the defense of the coconut harbor sea area has become an emptiness, and it also gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, if the enemy really chooses to attack here, then just with the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it is really not a top matter.

Although it is said that there is also a large-scale coastal defense battery in Coconut Harbor, which is powerful, the coastal defense artillery is only a dead thing after all, and if the enemy has a huge cannon with sufficient range, it will be able to knock out the coastal defense battery sooner or later - after all, the coastal defense artillery is only a fixed target, and it is much easier to fight than a moving warship.
