In the early morning of the next day, Xue Shao took Guo An and Guo Dafeng, a group of generals and subordinates, boarded a rather noble private painting boat and sailed to the south bank.

It was autumn and winter, and the water flow of the Yellow River was not turbulent. Some of the boatmen Guo Dafeng invited from a nearby fishing village steered the boat very steadily, and in a short time the boat was halfway through, and the port on the other side could be vaguely seen.

If a big flag with the word "Xue" fluttered in the wind, Xue Shao stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the one in front of him with an expressionless face and a cold look, which was very different from the previous Feilingdu port.

Obviously, Feilingdu, a well-known treaty port along the Yellow River, has now been turned into a military port. Instead of the civilian merchant ships, passenger ships, and fishing boats that used to be shuttling endlessly on the river, there were also water fences and arrow towers in front of the harbor, and many boats were gathered in the inner area to connect with each other, and soldiers could patrol there on horseback.

"Young marshal, in just over a month, Hei Tooth Changzhi has built this place into a military port." Guo An whispered beside Xue Shao: "He is clearly on guard against Hebei." ”

Xue Shao didn't answer, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was not too good-looking.

Guo An said again: "The black tooth Changzhi was once a veteran of Baekje, and he was used to water warfare. If something unexpected happens...... Our army lacks boats and boats, and is not accustomed to water warfare, which is very disadvantageous! ”

Xue Shao raised his hand lightly to signal that he didn't have to continue, Guo An accepted his voice very interestingly, and took three steps back to stand still.

The boat continued to move forward, and when it was still about two arrows away from the military port, the water gate opened, and two huge warships quickly slid out of it. Xue Shao used to be a member of the military department, and he was in charge of all kinds of military weapons, and he recognized these two extraordinary ships in front of him at a glance - the giant ship of the Tang Dynasty!

Datang is accustomed to using Modao infantry and elite light cavalry to conquer the enemy, but it does not mean that Datang's naval army is very weak. In fact, as early as twenty years ago, Datang already had a quite powerful naval army. At that time, the Tang Dynasty rushed to the aid of Silla to conquer Baekje, and the famous general Liu Renliang led more than 100 warships and tens of thousands of sailors to defeat the combined naval forces of Baekje and Yu at the mouth of the Baekgang River. This battle not only made Liu Renliang a star, but also made Datang's cross-sea battleship and first-class shipbuilding technology and strong water warfare capabilities famous all over the world.

In the past, these huge ships used for naval warfare, together with the Tang Dynasty Navy, were stationed in the vigorous coastal area. But today, it appeared in the Yellow River Feilingdu. The boat that Xue Shao was riding on was definitely huge and magnificent in terms of inland rivers, but compared to the giant ship in front of him, it was like a baby facing an adult man.

"What does he mean?!" Seeing the two giant ships surging in front of him, Guo Dafeng was a little angry, and scolded in a deep voice: "Is this showing off his might and provoking the young marshal?" ”

"Shut up!" Xue Shao scolded, stood fixedly at the bow of the ship, and quietly looked at the two giant ships in front of him that rushed like Mount Tai pressing on the top.

The two parties gradually approached, Xue Shao asked the boatman to drop anchor and stop, and the other party also slowed down and stopped. Soon, a military flag was waved on the opposite ship, and he asked—who is coming?

Guo An replied with a flag to show Xue Shao's identity, the other party was silent for a while, and the flag reply he gave was - the military defense will not accept guests, let Xue Shao take a detour!

"How can this be!!" The boatload was furious.

Xue Shao was also furious, but he held back and asked Guo An to play the flag, saying that he wanted to meet the black tooth Changzhi.

After a while, the other party still gave the same reply - the military defense will not accept customers, and it will take a detour!

"Dog|Mother's deception is too much!!" Someone on the boat scolded, "Black Tooth is often just a general, what kind of thing!" How dare you be so big and despise my young marshal!! ”

Even Guo An, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't get angry, and said: "Young marshal, the black tooth Changzhi is too rude!" Even if he was ordered to garrison the army, the young marshal had already deigned to come to negotiate, and he dared to close his eyes. Even if the two armies are fighting, there is no reason to expel the envoys! …… Such a shame and humiliation, the young marshal can endure it like a sea, and my brothers really can't bear it!! ”

"Otherwise, let's fight with them now?" Xue Shao said coldly.

Guo An was stunned and speechless. The boatload of people also quickly calmed down and stopped scolding.

Xue Shao took a deep breath and said calmly: "I have never known Hei Ya Changzhi in my life, let alone have any personal grievances. There must be a reason why he has done this to me. Even if you want to find out his bad luck, it's not too late to ask the reason. ”

"The young marshal is right." Guo An said, "So how is it good now?" ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "Listen to their arrangement, turn the bow of the boat and leave Feilingdu, and find a suitable tidal flat on the south bank to land." ”

Guo An's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a low voice: "The young marshal is still calm and wise." Although the other side did not welcome us into the military port, they also did not say that we were not allowed to land on the south bank! ”

"Stop talking nonsense, get on the boat, get out of the boat!"

"Yes!!"

The painting boat with the big flag of Xue character sailed in the middle of the two giant ships, and the sergeants on the giant ships all stood solemnly like King Kong, and the battle flag was flying in the hunt, and the military power was very strong.

Xue Shao was still standing at the bow of the ship, looking up slightly at the soldiers who were high above, and said loudly: "Brother Paoze on the ship, pass on a word on my behalf - let the black tooth take the initiative to come to me!" ”

As soon as the words "Let Hei Tooth Changzhi take the initiative to come to see me" came out, the thousands of sailors on the two giant ships all shrugged and changed color - what a big breath!

- What a domineering tone!

In full view of everyone, the small painting boat slid quietly beside the two large warships. The eyes of thousands of sailors and soldiers all fell on Xue Shao at the bow of the ship, until they saw him disappear into the distance where the sky and water meet.

After traveling more than a dozen miles of waterway to the south, Xue Shao's boat docked at the dock of a small fishing village. Almost as soon as Xue Shao's feet stepped on land, several fast horses appeared at the entrance of the small fishing village and ran over to meet Xue Shao.

"Could it be that the Black Tooth Changzhi is here?" Some people have voiced doubts.

"Isn't that guy arrogant? I guess it's fun now! ”

But when the few horsemen ran closer, everyone found that it was not a black tooth Changzhi who came, it was an acquaintance, an acquaintance who surprised Xue Shao - Li Xianyuan, and several of his personal clerks!

"You god stick, you don't give me a good farm in Yinchuan Juntun, why did you come here?" Xue Shao asked head-on.

Li Xianyuan rolled the saddle and dismounted and trotted forward, still with such a serious hippie smile. first gave Xue Shao a ninety-degree deep salute, and then said: "Young marshal, if you want to talk about this in detail, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it for two days and two nights." ”

"You are limited to make it clear within five crosses, otherwise you will be thrown into the river on the spot to feed the fish." Xue Shao knew Li Xianyuan's stubborn nature too well, and turned his face blank, "Guo An, prepare!" ”

"Yes!" Guo An was very cooperative and shouted.

"Don't, don't!!" Li Xianyuan hurriedly shouted: "Black Tooth Changzhi called me here!" ”

Everyone laughed and said one after another, but with the scare of the young marshal, not only did it take two days and two nights, but it only took eight words to make it clear.

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, "Let's find a place to settle down first." ”

"It's been arranged in the morning." Li Xianyuan smiled and said mysteriously, "Young marshal and princess, but please come with me!" ”

"Lead the way!"

Li Xianyuan hurriedly led the horse he had just ridden, bent down and made a more exaggerated greeting action, "Please get on the horse, and lead the way on foot in the stirrup!" ”

"Sycophants!" Xue Shao scolded and rode on his horse, and the group bypassed the small fishing village and walked onto a sheep intestine path.

After walking for a short time, it was almost dark, Guo Dafeng and the others were scolding and saying that when they would be hungry, Li Xianyuan finally stopped.

"It's here!"

When everyone looked at it, there was a village with a vast area and an elegant layout. If it weren't for the villa industry run by the landlord's old fortune who could still enter the stream, it would be a secluded retirement place for a certain rank official.

"What kind of territory is this?" Xue Shao asked.

Li Xianyuan was still smiling: "The young marshal came in with me, didn't you know?" ”

"Do you dare to sell Guanzi? Guo An! ”

"Don't, don't! ......" Seeing that Xue Shao was about to go crazy, Li Xianyuan hurriedly begged, "No matter what, I won't hurt the young marshal, right?" ”

Everyone laughed, Xue Shao usually likes to tease Li Xianyuan, and at the same time, Li Xianyuan is also Xue Shao's loyal confidant and personal friend, these two points are quite clear in everyone's hearts.

So, Li Xianyuan led the horse and led Xue Shao and everyone into the courtyard. As soon as they entered, everyone immediately met another old acquaintance, Wu Ming.

Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, Wu Ming is here, that moon slave ......

Before this thought could be settled, Xue Shao immediately heard a familiar exclamation, "Childe!" ”

Now there are not many people who call Xue Shao "Childe", and the moon slave is one of the few ones. Even if she has officially been given Xue Shao's wife, she has never changed her words.

A figure actually leaped down from the roof, and with several neat tossing and falling, it fell directly onto Xue Shao's horse like a flying swallow.

Then, the moon slave hugged Xue Shao tightly regardless of it, and refused to let go and sobbed again and again.

Except for Wu Ming, who stood a little farther away and smiled at Xue Shao, everyone else turned around quite knowingly and covered their ears with their hands.

Xue Shao looked at Wu Ming and nodded, smiled, and patted Yue Nu's back again, "What are you crying about?" ”

The moon slave refused to speak, only hugged Xue Shao tighter, and cried even more.

At this moment, a graceful figure in fluttering clothes came out of the main hall of the main house of the village. Under the cover of the moonlight and the blowing of the night breeze, it is like a fairy from the heavenly palace stepping on the moon.

"Xuan Yunzi, I've seen the young marshal."

Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, "You guys still came in a group?" ”

"Forming a group?" Xuan Yunzi repeated a sentence playfully, and said with a smile, "Don't have a while, has the young marshal been okay recently?" ”

"Very bad!" Xue Shao deliberately said a little loudly.

Yue Nu was taken aback, and immediately let go Xue Shao asked eagerly, "Childe, what's wrong with you?" What happened to you?! ”

Xue Shao said seriously: "Well, it's okay now!" ”

"Huh?" The moon slave was obviously stunned and didn't react.

Xue Shao laughed, "Shicai was hugged by you so that his bones hurt, and he cried and wet my clothes, how can it be considered good?" ”
