Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Old Man on the River, Ling Bolai
A light boat gallops in the smoke and waves, and the green hills on both sides of the strait are like open doors.
Although it did not rain, the sky was shrouded in clouds, and the river was filled with a light mist, rendering a mysterious atmosphere for this lonely light boat. It's just that the man standing quietly in the bow of the boat didn't think much about it.
The wind was blowing with a cool feeling on his face, and the gray-robed man couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hold the light mist in front of him, and then he seemed to feel that he was really stupid like this, and he smiled to himself, and cast his eyes on the green hills on both sides.
The fog cages the mountains, and the river flows like a turn.
"The wind is up, hang the sails!" The boss of the boat behind suddenly shouted. Several sturdy men leaped out of the cabin almost simultaneously, and a moment later a white sail was already flying from the bare mast.
However, the gray-robed man at the bow of the boat turned a deaf ear to this, and just looked at the green mountains on both sides of the strait with great interest, and the flowing water under his feet, as if this mountain and this water had an inexplicable magic power for him, attracting him to constantly focus his eyes on it.
And at this time, the white sails were hung on the ship, and it was only possible to see that in this mist, not only this one boat, but also six or seven of the same ships were scattered behind it, and they were going west against the wind and water.
"Yan Huang mountains and rivers, Huaxia clothes, how beautiful!" The gray-robed man finally couldn't help but sigh, another boat that had already caught up and only staggered half a position with the leading ship, and the man standing at the bow was also gray-clothed, but he was only a capable short-fighter, and he also had a knife hanging from his waist and a bow on his back.
Seeing the gray-robed man open his mouth with twelve words, the gray-robed man moved slightly, and then said aloud: "Brother Changxi, is that young intellectual's army really worthy of us as his subordinate?" ”
"Angry waves, a certain Li sighed across the East China Sea, and Zhang Mazi laid a huge world together, countless warships under his command, for a while, even the imperial court sailor can not help us, but in the end it was folded in the small Cixi, Ye Yingwu This person, not a certain Li sigh said big things, but so far he can't figure out this person, and the battle of Macheng Hanshui, it really played a military might, just for this reason, it is also worth a trip here." The gray-robed man was none other than Li Si, the pirate military master who had expressed his intention to Ye Yingwu on the sea of Qingyuan Mansion.
I don't know why, that Ye Envoy Jun won the first battle, and then smoothed the back road, it was thriving, but he sent his right-hand men to Qingyuan Mansion quickly, and then sailed to Dongji Island, where Li Si was the base camp, in fact, Ye Yingwu's letter was very simple, that is, to invite Li Si to come to Xing** to complain about his farewell.
Although he didn't know what Ye Yingwu meant, but he estimated that Ye Yingwu did not mean to swallow his pirates from such a distance, Li Si arranged his ships and pirates, so that they could not act rashly without their own handwritten orders, and they could guard Dongji Island with peace of mind, and then he brought Bai Nutao, a powerful subordinate who had just been included in his command, and more than ten personal guards to come to Xing** thousands of miles away.
After all, for Ye Yingwu, Li Si still has a very strong interest.
However, as a famous figure in the East China Sea, Bai Nutao is not very interested in this Ye Yingwu, who has only vaguely heard of the name, and she still doesn't believe that this Ye Yingwu really has the ability to convince Li Si, who she admires very much, maybe it was that guy who used some cunning means to make Brother Li Si ignore it for a while.
So he Bai Nutao is here to expose Ye Yingwu's ugly face this time!
The gust of river breeze was blowing, Bai Nutao couldn't help but pout, compared to the violent sea breeze, this river breeze is nothing! However, on the contrary, the green hills on both sides are majestic, so that this maritime hero can't help but secretly admire in his heart. It's no wonder that Brother Li, who he admires very much on weekdays, always looks west at the mainland from time to time, full of yearning.
The mountains and rivers of China, compared with the sea style, have a unique attractive flavor, which makes Bai Nutao, who is accustomed to wind and waves, fascinated.
"Look at this wind, it is estimated that in the first half an hour, you will be able to reach Yongxing County!" The boss of the boat saw that the white sail had fallen, and his heart was also quite happy, these people who hired their own ships did not look like good people, if they were business travelers, they would naturally use the big boat to carry goods, but if they were looking for relatives and friends, they had not seen so many people looking for relatives and friends with swords!
However, the boss of the ship also knows that these are not things he should remember, so he has always been respectful, anyway, people have no less money than their own, even if they are murderers, as long as they don't seek money and kill their lives, they don't care what they do! This single business went straight from the mouth of the Yangtze River to this Xing**, but the boat boss and his men who had little business in recent years and could only rely on ferries to make a living had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Only this time, you can have enough food and clothing for a year, and you don't have to go back and forth in the wind and rain on the river. However, although he knew that he shouldn't ask, the boat boss still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and said in a slight whisper: "I've been traveling here day and night, what is the urgency of the guest officer?" ”
Although the voice was small, Bai Nutao on the boat next to him also heard it, and at that moment, he raised his eyebrows, and was about to scold the boss of the boat, but was stopped by Li Si waving his hand, which is strange to say, that Bai Nutao was burly, and he should have been a hero, but he didn't know why he obeyed Li Si's words, a weak scholar who seemed to be unable to withstand a storm, and when he saw Li Si's gesture, not only did he stop talking stiffly, but even his eyebrows subconsciously relaxed.
Turning his head sideways to look at the boat boss, he found that this man who was really a master of boat skills on the river looked at himself with a little panic, as if he understood that the question just now did touch the bottom line that he should not know, if you look carefully, you will find that even in this cool river breeze, the boat boss's forehead has bean-sized water droplets, which are not fog condensation, but sweat beads.
Smiling slightly, Li Si said lightly: "Yes, there is an urgent matter, someone is urgent, of course I have to rush over at any cost." ”
Seeing that Li Si, who had always cherished words like gold for days, actually had a tone that wanted to provoke the conversation, the boat boss breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and casually picked up: "Then I think it should be a close friend, otherwise why is the guest officer so anxious." ”
"It's not a good friend yet." Li Si couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly added a sentence in his heart: He even met with swords. However, the boat boss didn't seem to notice the bitterness and helplessness in Li Si's words, but was only slightly surprised, "Oh? With a sound, he casually beckoned the men under his command to hurry up and shake the oars, but they couldn't be relieved just because they hung the sails.
I don't know if it was said to the boss of the boat, or to Bai Nutao not far away, or just to the green mountains and rivers, Li sighed and muttered: "It can only be regarded as a person who interests me very much, and it is also a person who has the same aspirations as me." ”
Bai Nutao, who heard this, couldn't help but scratch his head, "Comrade Xiang", what is this little brother Li's ambition, shouldn't it be to dominate the sea, and what does it have to do with Ye Yingwu? These people who are good at dancing and writing are also full of wisdom, and they really make people wonder how to vote, as if there are mysteries in what they say that ordinary people can't detect.
While a few people were talking, the ship had already traveled far away, and the green hills were getting farther and farther away, and the flatness appeared.
"The end of Pingwu is a green mountain, I didn't expect a certain Li Si to return to this Chinese homeland today, but the end of the green mountain is Pingwu, I don't know if this is a trick on God." Li Si couldn't help but let out a long breath, at the end of heaven and earth, in the thin mist, you could already see a mountain peak standing proudly on the riverside.
It was as if it had been split in the middle by the gods, and the side of the mountain facing the river was smooth and steep, almost vertical! And on the north bank of the river opposite this strange mountain, there are also several green mountains rising from the ground, echoing with the southern peaks, like holding the throat of the river!
"I don't want to have such a magnificent scenery here, it's really dangerous!" Li Si couldn't help but sigh, and even Bai Nutao beside him held his breath a little unconsciously and carefully looked at the scene in front of him.
"Xing**Yongxing County, it's ahead." The boat boss has been here, and at this time, he revisited the old place, remembering the scenery of the year, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As if to respond to the words of the ship's boss, the fog gradually faded, and it was already faintly visible that on the top of the half of the cliff, a red flag was fierce in the wind, like a god standing in the clouds, overlooking the river and countless lives below.
"Song ・・・・・・" looked at the solemn and majestic words on the red flag, even if Li Si could be regarded as a strong party, he couldn't help but mumble.
I have also seen this flag in Qingyuan Mansion, and I have also seen this flag in the Southern Song Dynasty Navy, but no matter where it is, it is not as shocking as the Song character red flag on this half-wall cliff, as if the support for this flag below is not only the green mountains that stand, but also countless heroic souls with the pride that belongs to them in this world.
The banner is waving in the wind.
Ye Yingwu welcomed his guests from the distant Dongji Island in the East China Sea.
Oe Haohao, the old man visited.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
However, Ye Yingwu didn't know at this time that Li Si had already arrived at the same time, far faster than he imagined. The weather has been cloudy for the past few days, but a lot of heat has dissipated, and the river is also shrouded in mist, and you can only see the green mountains piercing the clouds in the distance.
In such weather, Zhang Shijie didn't dare to stay in Xing** anymore, so after meeting and saying hello to the Tianwu Army, he went north to Huangzhou. After all, Wen Tianxiang is a civil official with no battlefield experience, if Ah Shu seizes this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take the opportunity to attack on a large scale, Zhang Shijie really doesn't dare to pack a ticket, Wen Tianxiang can block it.
However, it seems that the Mongolian sailors who were hit hard last time did not have the courage to venture through the Han River in this weather, so Rao is two Huai sailors continued to send boats to patrol the Han River, and even a small sampan of the Mongolian sailors was not found, so that Zhang Shijie, who had already put the sailors away and waited for the halfway interception, had to admire the determination of Ah Shu.
However, Zhang Shijie sighed, but Ye Yingwu was relieved, Ah Shu came to cause trouble a day late, and he had one more day to train the Tianwu Army, after all, Ye Yingwu was really not at ease with the soldiers of the Tianwu Army under his command, and now it can only be said that the confidence of the soldiers in training has been mobilized, but when the time comes, how sure can a real bloody battle be even Su Liuyi, the main general who trained them, can't say clearly.
What's more, the bed crossbow, divine arm crossbow, assault rifle, thistle terrestris and other arrows and firearms belonging to the Tianwu Army have not yet been fully built, even if the ore in Daye County is continuously transported backwards, even if the craftsmen's workshops in Tongshan County are day and night, even if Jiangnan West Road has been exhausted, this is an elite force of 20,000 people after all, and it cannot be prepared overnight.
Even if the Southern Song Dynasty was pressed by the enemy, the armament was still relaxed, which made Ye Yingwu, who knew about it, couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, but there was no way to say anything, this was directly related to the Song Dynasty's three-hundred-year national policy of "emphasizing literature and ignoring martial arts".
What has happened cannot be changed, Ye Yingwu came here, what needs to be changed is the era after that, and what is stirred is the future situation.
Just came back from the school field, and had not yet washed the dust, Ye Yingwu sat straight on the chair in the study, plunged himself deep into the chair, looking at his empty bookcase, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile. According to the system of the Song Dynasty, Zhizhou and Zhijun should be responsible for managing the government affairs of their own state capitals, and then they will be verified and supervised by the general judgment, but in this Xing**, in fact, the tasks of the Zhijun and the general judgment are pressed on Lu Xiufu, not to mention verification and supervision, and now Lu Xiufu is simply shouldering the positions of two people. However, Lu Xiufu did not complain, firstly, Ye Yingwu presided over the training of the Tianwu Army and was responsible for the overall situation, and the responsibility was already heavy enough, and secondly, Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu supervised each other.
For such an assistant who is not weaker than Wen Tianxiang at the beginning, Ye Yingwu can only be a secret luck, if he doesn't cross over by himself, he is Ye Mengding's youngest son, and then emerges in the Cixi War, how can there be such a talent to take refuge.
God help me. Ye Yingwu couldn't help but sigh often, after another day of polishing on the school field, the fatigue had continued to extend along the blood veins of his body, and Ye Yingwu was almost too lazy to sit on this wide chair. Looking at the bookshelves on both sides of the study, this is actually a twenty-year-old age and a twenty-year-old mind, and finally he can't help but slowly close his eyes, sleepiness is like infinite darkness, engulfing him.
The bell who had been silently following behind Ye Yingwu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, making Jun so tired, no wonder his own lady was always thinking about it. At that moment, the big maid in the entire Ye family's backyard nodded slightly at the two Tianwu soldiers who were standing outside like a door god, and floated in, almost without a sound, if you look closely, you can find that this careful maid is on tiptoe.
He casually added a handful of incense to the incense burner to help him sleep, and the bell walked away with light steps, extinguishing the candle flame at the door.
The whole study then dimmed, and only the curling cigarette smoke fluttered.
