Feelings of disagreement, family and country fame, brothers in you double affection.
The husband is down, complaining and generous, and shedding tears until dawn.
Zhence in the mountains, lazy and famous, so he had to withdraw from Qingqing.
ββ"The Epic of Xinyue: Yuwen Yongyin"
"It's not hard," who knew that Yu Wenyong didn't want to say goodbye, but sat down and said, "I always feel that things are not as simple as agreed on the surface, however, if Beiming will cooperate with Luo Wei to design my Xinyue, it will really be self-defeating,
However, according to Xinyue's spy intelligence, Luo Wei has joined forces with foreign countries, and the iron warships in its warships are the handiwork of the island countries on which the sun never sets in the Western Ocean, and it is unknown whether other countries have intervened to take advantage of it and get a piece of the pie. β
I knew that he said this, or that it was true, so I smiled bitterly, "I know that maybe you are right, but I promise that what I know about the war is not difficult with Xinyue." Although I don't dare to say that I know the overall plan and overall strategy of the Beiming Water Division,
But compared to island countries like Luowei, Beiming has no reason to encroach on Xinyue in the short term. β
"Yes, Beiming is rich and has strong combat power." Yu Wenyong said with a little sarcasm.
"Hey, after all, Beiming is a place where rivers and seas gather, although it is not as familiar with naval warfare as Luo Weina since he was a child, but after all, he grew up by the water, and there are more capable people who can operate boats and so on. There is no way around it. If it's a hard ride, it's naturally better to be new, so why care too much about such things? β
As I spoke, I cooled the fire again, washed my face with ice water, and said, "I have to report to Prince Ning tonight." In any case, I will not be biased against either Xinyue or Beiming, this can always be trusted. β
When Yuwen Yong heard this, he got up and sighed and said, "I'm not cautious and suspicious, but I'm very hesitant, whether I should take you into battle to kill the enemy, it's just that, let's discuss it then, I think you have changed, I can't understand whether you are a Xinyue person or a Beiming person, very strange", after speaking, he didn't look back, and strode out of the account.
When I arrived at Prince Ning's place, it was already ugly, and I really wanted to go to sleep first, but I was afraid that if there was no decision about Prince Ning, I went to Prince Ning's tent again.
As expected, Prince Ning did not change his clothes and fall asleep, but held the seal knife bluestone, engraved a seal, I looked, on the book, Fang's Chengshou four big characters, carved Liuyun, quite exquisite, I couldn't help but sigh, "This is the prince's alias or the word of the table?" β
Unexpectedly, Prince Ning smiled very naturally, and said slightly, "No, this is the joy of my family's Lin'er's first birthday, and the engraved is Lin'er's table words, but for some reason, I always feel that I have distractions and poor carving." β
I stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the prince, that Zhuang heart should be settled within three days." I don't know if Li Congshi has informed the prince? β
"Hmm." Prince Ning said, said, threw aside the carved bluestone chapter that was not very satisfied, and said, "Carve another good one another day." Although I heard some of it, I was relieved that you still told me in person this time. β
"The prince is not worried about the last general?" I quipped, "This, the last general's heart is broken piece by piece," and pretended to cover my heart.
Prince Ning chuckled and said, "You are so clever and smiling, do you know that Qin Qing is not in danger now?" β
"Well," I also smiled, and said tiredly, "The moment I saw the "turtle" who sent us on this trip, I felt a little hopeful, and after Li Congshi said something, I confirmed it. β
"Haha, strange people say that the seedlings of the scouts are all crystal hearts, tell me what you guessed and listen to this king," Prince Ning sat down as he spoke, and said, "It's so late, you are still thinking about coming to give this king a good night's sleep, how can this king bear not to give you peace of mind." β
"Yes." I sighed lightly, picked up a cup of cow drink, and said, "The 'turtle' we hid in that day and came here is very similar to the 'turtle' I brought with the girls of the Phoenix Pavilion to paint the boat.
But it is not exactly the same, especially the exhaust port can be raised and lowered independently, the exhaust and smoke design is very hidden and ingenious, and the interior design is also a little different. I secretly thought that it should be brought by Huang Chun when he asked Wang Geng to come. β
"Well," Prince Ning said, "How did you guess Qin Qing?" β
"I knew that the scout camp was originally using the structure of a ship and a turtle, so I guessed that there should be multiple ships similar to 'turtles' coming this time. Li Congshi said that Qin Qing went to take the owner of Yushan Island with a reply.
As for where to go, I thought about it, but General Qin Qiong didn't know anything about it, and the secret and bright posts were not detected.
I can't think of a better place to hide than the new Dark Outpost Harbor built with other turtles?
And since the owner of the island has written a letter, and we are going to pick him up, whether he is a fraud or a truth, he should go with him according to common sense, and it must not be too difficult to leave with the owner of the island. I thought, maybe Qin Qing is an ambush arranged by the princes to pretend to disappear first, and then ambush at a critical time, as for where the ambush is,
How many 'turtles' there are, the last general doesn't know at all, the rules in the army, the last general can't ask about such a reason, but the last general thinks to himself, as long as Qin Qing is fine, the last general will be deeply grateful to the prince. β
"Did you know that being too polite is not a common friend?" Prince Ning looked at me and said, "Fu Yannian, I just treat you as classmates and friends, and I don't have other thoughts, why have you been so respectful to me, but it makes me strange." β
I smiled bitterly, "The prince is still young now, and he doesn't know that between the monarch and the minister, it was originally like this, above the high position, it was originally lonely." β
"It's like you're not young, you're seventy or eighty," Prince Ning probably said because he saw that I was tired, "That's it, since it's done, I'll rest, and we'll discuss tomorrow's things tomorrow." β
I was not polite, so I took my leave and ran to my tent, and I slept without knowing the heat or cold, and when I woke up again, it was already two days later.
"I can really sleep," Li Congshi said to me, knocking on my head, "how tired you are." β
"Hey, you also know that I grew up in the north, and then came to the south with Uncle Fu, so I don't know how to take a boat," I scratched my head and sat up, "I'm hungry, but I have something to eat." β
Li Congshi pouted, and when I saw the pancakes and donkey meat on the table, my eyes immediately turned green, and I rushed up to eat it.
"By the way, why are you here with me?" I asked as I ate.
"From time to time, Prince Ning is not at ease, let me see if you are sick," Li Congshi said with his acupuncture suit, "If you are sick, I will have to administer a few injections." β
"No, no," I smirked, looking at the missing needles in his acupuncture bag, seeing that it wasn't on me, I ignored it and continued to laugh, "It shouldn't be a disease." β
"How not?" Li Congshi said, "Lazy disease, can't hear horn syndrome, you wake up in less than a moment after serving pancakes and donkey meat, not only lazy disease, but also slander.
However, even if you are also a talent, Emperor Xinyue has already arrived this morning, and today they are already planning a specific battle, and it is estimated that a sneak attack will be carried out to capture Qingjing Port in the next few days.
However, the other new Vietnamese troops will not let us know about it, and they are not allowed to interfere, so I am bored, and I want to lie down for a few days, and there is nothing to do anyway."
I heard that he was quite unwilling, so I smiled and said, "Do you know that this time it is a tough battle, and it will inevitably be dangerous, Xinyue will not let me and others participate, and there is nothing wrong with ensuring that nothing goes wrong." Having said that, if Prince Jing leads the troops, and Xinyue asks us to fight together, will he let foreign envoys participate in the war?
Don't say that you are suspicious or not, even if the messenger has a mistake at that time, it is not easy to explain."
"But I think Prince Ning really wants to participate in the war himself? For this, he also gave Yu Wenyong a belt-type soft knife that he had with him, the knife can be carried with him in a belt style, with no flaws, and can defend himself, but it is a baby.
However, such a big thing, if you want to come to that Yu Wenyong, naturally you can't help anything, the prince said, just to make a friend. β
"Want to go to war in person?" I thought about it, but I didn't say anything, so I said casually, "What did the prince do when he personally participated in the war?" On the other hand, I can also take the opportunity to get a few Luo Wei captives to inquire about Qin Qing. β
"Big brother-" Li Congshi, the medical officer's seriousness came again, and he said seriously, "How could Luo Wei know about Qin Qing's affairs?" What's more, it's the Luo Wei Army in Qingjing Port. Originally, he and Luo Wei Shui Shi would not have been able to inform each other in every detail, right? β
"I'm teasing you," I sighed and said, "Think about it, the three of us and the others came secretly to discuss together, and the Xinyue monarchs and ministers who came and went were all secret letters, if they were discovered, how could the Japanese army enter the trap again?" So no matter what else it is, we can't show up so early. β
"You don't have the honesty of a soldier at all," Li Congshi still said seriously.
"Didn't you have a good sense of humor just now?" At this time, I was pretending to be an old master here again, and I still teased him, "But you and Prince Jing and Prince Ning have a good relationship in the past, I didn't know that Prince Ning brought such a soft sword baby with him."
That being said, when Li Congshi said this, I wondered more and more about when I would be able to come to the battlefield in person.
This inexplicable impulse seems to be so conflicting with my desire to live in peace, but it seems to be very frank in my heart.
In addition to Qin Qing's comfort, I hope to see how she and the 'turtle' will be arranged, I also want to know if our many methods can be effective, I don't believe in the war that I didn't hear about in the place, because I know that the experience of the war and the writing are two different things.
Experiencing war is war, timing, technology, tactics, supplies, military strategy, life and death, life and death, life and death, fire and blood are intertwined. Writing about the war is to explain the situation to the imperial court while respecting the basic results and reality, and its writing style is related to the ultimate needs and the interests of all parties.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask Li Congshi, "Is General Yu Wenyong in the camp now?" β
"I don't know." Li Congshi spread his hands and said, "No, you also have something good to bribe him to try to go into battle in person, right?" As he spoke, there was a sly look in his eyes.
"You ** medic," I muttered in a low voice, "the fox medic also has a scout nature, hum." β
"Either we compare and compare, and we are idle anyway," Li Congshi suggested, "I heard that General Qin and you are in a relationship." β
"Heh, I'm afraid of you?" I had eaten and slept well, and I was consciously full of energy, so I responded, "How do you compare the strokes, is there a bet?" β
"The bet is that if you succeed in bribing that General Yuwen to take you to the front, take me there too," Li Congshi said, "You can decide what you want." β
A medical officer also opened his mouth to compare martial arts with me, how can I compare, so confident, it really torments me, could it be that I have become a weak scholar who everyone can win? Naturally, I didn't snort happily, and after thinking about it, I still didn't think of what I could compare, so I asked him, "What do you say?" I didn't think of it for a while. β
"I say what is better than what? That's better than riding and throwing. Li Congshi tilted his head and said:
"Didn't you say that you grew up in the north and are not used to riding boats, then you should like to ride a horse, I will compare riding a horse with you, riding a horse to shoot the target, how about it?"
"That's too alarming for the new Vietnamese army here, it's too ostentatious," I said, shaking my head.
"Of course, we have to show off our martial arts to go into battle to kill the enemy," Li Congshi nodded his head, then squinted his eyes and said, "Otherwise, how can we make that General Yuwen think about it?" β
I tilted my head and looked at this guy who was naΓ―ve and cunning for a while, and said helplessly, "Look at the posture of looking at us all around, how can we go to the shooting range to try that, if you want to say something like playing chess, I'm afraid that the new Vietnamese army outside the door can still let you get your wish, your whimsical posture is really ...... If you really want to go, it's okay to show off your medical skills, you wait for General Yuwen to come back, tell him that he is a medical officer, and he can help treat injuries and diseases, and see if he is willing to give you a chance, right? β
"That's right. But I still want to show off my martial arts," Li Congshi said as if he was wise and foolish, "My superb medical skills have buried my martial arts." Since I was thirteen years old, I have been a medical officer with my father and the generals, but I have always been in the rear, but I have never seen what the battlefield is like, but I have always been required to practice martial arts. So, what else can we do? β
"I'm surprised," I got up and put my face in front of him, looked and looked, and pouted, "If you have martial arts and medical skills, then you should be a secret guard in the palace, how can you just stay in the army as a medical officer?" β
This time, Li Congshi didn't speak.
"Then have you heard many stories in the palace?" When I saw that he didn't speak, I joked to him, "Which lady is beautiful?" What's the Lord's affair? The gossip stories of those princes and princesses, let's listen to them and pass the time. β
"I'll go-" Li Congshi smacked me and said, "I've never seen a general like you, I've never seen a general like you, how can there be a military general Baba who cares about the gossip of the Lord."
"You forgot, I'm a scout spy horse, such things, but big things, how can I not know about them?" I happily said, "Even if you already know, you need to collect more explanations, so that you can find out the really useful information from them." Curiosity and the desire to explore are important elements to become a good spy, right? β
"What is there to explore about old things," Li Congshi crossed his arms and sat on the chair, as if thinking about it, "The Lord's emotional experience?" It seems quite simple.
Legend has it that when the lord followed Liang Ye, the lord of Liangshan, when he was young, he was rescued by Mrs. Liang He, and he always admired Mrs. Liang He in his heart.
Later, after the lord also got married, he married two more ladies, but he was not very fond of them, but treated them with respect, and never caused any trouble. It wasn't until she got the current Song Guifei Niangniang that she got a treasure.
In order to avoid endless fighting in the harem, each palace is self-built, and each of them allocates funds on a daily basis, and each of them makes some clothes and eats, although it costs a little more silver, but it is to let the princes and princesses of each palace grow up healthily, and there are few palaces that die inexplicably halfway, and it is often difficult to raise the so-called 'inner palace yin qi is heavy, and there are hindrances to the heirs', which is also the wisdom of the lord.
The princes of the Xinyue Dynasty who died in the past dynasties, the harem of endless fighting, can write a harem history book from generation to generation, left and right are those tricks, each of them lives, does not interfere with each other, each brings a maid from his mother's house, the servants serve, no one can get into anyone's hand,
and is not in a food party, let alone the so-called imperial doctor's consultation, they are all trusted people sent by themselves in their own homes, so that they are much safer and safer.
Like the queen mother, although she has a noble status, she doesn't care about anything, and the concubines in the harem are not allowed to talk to each other, but the concubines and concubines in the palace can help each other's foreign ministers in their business, and they can also meet freely.
In short, the rules are all set by people, and this set of rules set by the Lord has benefited everyone, and it has made me Beiming, with so many heroic and powerful princesββ"
Seeing that I squinted and listened half-asleep, Li Congshi said again, "I have also said a lot, could it be that if I say this, you promised to count me as a part of the matter of going to the battlefield?" β
I thought about it, and half-truths and half-truths said to him, "Eat and drink enough, rest and recuperate, you don't have to use any crooked brains, you call this pure nonsense, hum" After speaking, he continued to pretend to be a corpse on the bed, ignoring him whether he lived or died.
After a while, I only felt that someone was using my hand to move me again, and I had to say impatiently, "I didn't say it," as a result, when I opened my eyes, I was stunned, it turned out to be Yu Wenyong, and I had to say stupidly, "It's coming"
"Wake up," Yu Wenyong said, "I'll bring you a letter," he said with a somewhat confused expression, "Beiming said that he had already fought with Luo Wei twice, both on a small scale. β
I scrambled to my feet and said in disbelief, "How so?" So fast? What about the situation. β
Seeing me like this, Yu Wenyong was a little unhappy and said, "As for me, are you from Beiming?" Care is like this. β
I had to say, "I won't tell you, although I am a Xinyue person, but my wife is a native of Beiming, and she is still missing in various spies with Luo Wei Shui Shi, you say, how can I not care?" β
"Are you married? But they got married very quickly. Yuwen Yong said, "I don't care what you care about, anyway, we have already made a plan to fight a big battle to recapture my Qingjing Port, your father was unmatched by scouts and spies back then,
You're not an extraordinary person, either, so we got something, but we couldn't untie it, so we had to take a risk and look for you."
I opened it and saw that there was no encryption in it, but the order in which it was written was very strange, and it didn't look like a paragraph, but it seemed to be a paragraph, and it was placed in the water, and there was no other development, and then I looked at it, and I still couldn't see anything, but the smell of this thing was very strange.
Full of sour and bitter taste, if Wang Geng is here, he will naturally know if there is any suspicion here, but I can't see the clue.
"I don't see it, hey, I just think it smells a little weird, where did you get this? I don't know if it's because there is no encryption in the first place, or if I know too little about Japanese language, I can't help you. I muttered:
"However, Yu Wenyong, I think that I am a Xinyue person, and I will not do anything against Xinyue. In this matter, I also thought about whether Beiming said that they were lured to Qingjing Bay by Prince Jing.
In fact, it was for me to attack Qingjing Bay first, and then take advantage of the affiliation of Nakagawa Manosuke, the main general of Qingjing Bay, who is the adopted son of the main family of Mizuno Nakamasa of the Luo Wei reinforcements, to lead Luo Wei to fight against Xinyue, and then when both are defeated, they will do the thing of fishermen for profit.
But I always feel that this possibility is not big, first, the rescue will not pour out, relying on the rescue of Qingjing Port to attract the number of sailors reinforcements, can not achieve the effect expected by Beiming, it is not worth Prince Ning's personal risk;
Second, Mizuno Nakasei has been growing up for many years, and he may not necessarily follow the creed of the samurai and be loyal to the master's family, after all, isn't the samurai who replaced the master's family in control of the world?
Third, in case this happens, I am also willing to live and die with Xinyue, and I want to go with you.
Actually, Prince Ning and General Li also wanted to go, whether they wanted to see Xinyue's land combat strength, whether they wanted to spy on something, or whether they really wanted to participate in this big war, I don't know, but I knew that my own mind would not betray Xinyue - although, I also want to live up to Beiming. β
"Hey," listening to my heartfelt words, Yu Wenyong also let go of many troubles, and said, "Maybe the world is too complicated and assimilates us, maybe we are too simple and misunderstand the world."
"You seem to have the impression of Wuxia Amon for three days recently," I smiled and said, "That's quite a twist." However, that's right. β
"I don't think I can take you with me this time, whether it's for your safety and identity as an emissary, or to avoid being spied on.
However, after the capture of Qingjing Port, I think I can let you participate in the battle against the Luo Wei Shui Division, and I can also help you inquire about your lady. It is also convenient for you to be able to return with the Beiming Water Division when the time comes. β
"Thank you." I said.
In the next few days, I lived a rare isolated time with Prince Ning and Li Congshi, not knowing the progress of the war between the two sides and the people I was concerned about.
It wasn't until the day Yu Wenyong took us to Qingjing Harbor that I returned to the impermanent battlefield and court again.
In my modest career, the Battle of Tsing Kiang Harbor was undoubtedly the most tragic and tragic battle I have ever witnessed.
However, it was also after that war that I had completely become a little fan of Prince Jing, and I understood why Prince Ning was willing to be a shadow of his brother.
