The river breeze hunted, blowing the Liang Army flag up and down, dozens of warships were densely populated, but they were all silent, looking at the ordinary passenger ship that was surrounded.

Facing Zhao Xian's inquiry, Yue Jiheng just smiled casually: "Brother Zhao is a big man with a name and surname, whether it is Daliang or Northern Qi, there are not a few people who pay attention to you." You have not said goodbye since Chang'an, and you can only hide your whereabouts for a while, and it is not difficult to find your whereabouts. ”

I naturally know this truth, isn't this how Sister Su and Shen Yu caught up. Zhao Xian frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense." You are thousands of miles away in Kyoto, but you learned my whereabouts so quickly, and you waited again in advance. You can't have eyeliner buried in Northern Qi, who gave you the news? ”

Yue Jiheng folded the fan and shook it gently, his eyes rolled, but there was a bit of a taste of wanting to say something, and he looked at the cabin behind him, there seemed to be someone inside.

Oops! Zhao Xian already knew that he was wrong when he saw this scene, there must be other people secretly paying attention to him when he was in Chang'an, if he guessed correctly, it should be the remnants of the secret guard, only the intelligence transmission channel of the secret guard can transmit his whereabouts back to Daliang so quickly.

That Shen Yu... Zhao Xian's face turned pale suddenly, and he looked down at Jiangli, where there was still a shadow of a person.

What to do? You must not die, or I will not be able to rest at ease in my life. Zhao Xian had the heart to jump into the river to search, but he was worried about the safety of the ladies, so he had to say to Yue Jiheng: "You send someone to rescue the girl who fell into the water just now, and other things can be discussed." ”

Yue Jiheng also saw a woman falling into the water, and immediately turned his head to the attendant A Man and said, "Quickly prepare a small boat to search." If you want to see people alive and die and see corpses, don't let Brother Zhao wait in a hurry. ”

After the words were closed, he turned his head to look at Zhao Xian, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, my people are your people, and I order them directly, why bother to see the outside like this?" ”

Zhao Xian clenched his palms tightly, looked at the river, and was silent for a long time.

"Zhao Xian, I'm sorry. It's me who is impulsive..."Yijun listened from the side. also knew that Shen Yu was to blame, and looked at him timidly at the moment, obviously feeling guilty for not being able to stop.

Are you impulsive? It's my asshole, right? Zhao Xian just sighed bitterly, and had no other words. Never treated her as one of his own. And why not doubt it? I've always felt that she was too scheming. Ambitions are great. She didn't hesitate to use her father for her purposes.,She's a completely bad woman.。 But even though she was covered in thorns, she turned her sharp edge outward. On the contrary, I am always on the lookout for her, hey......

Su Wanyun frowned, looked at the surrounding Liang Jun lightly, and said softly: "Zhao Xian, the world is one, you have exchanged countless blood and hard work, could it be that you really want to obey this villain's ambition and turn against the Northern Qi Dynasty?" ”

Although the secret guard no longer exists, and she, the great ruler, has completely lost the trust of the saint, but the loyalty in her heart has never changed, and the world has been peaceful, but seeing that the waves are about to rise again, how can she make Zai Zhao Xian agree to Yue Jiheng.

"I don't want to, but I can't do anything else." Zhao Xian shook his head deeply, and turned to look at Yue Jiheng opposite: "That person in the cabin, can you let me see it?" He ruined all my efforts and dragged me into endless strife again. I'd love to see who has that much ability. ”

"Bang Bang!"

Suddenly, a few crisp slaps came out, and in the cabin behind Yue Jiheng, a feminine-looking man in white slowly walked out, he looked over with a smile, and sighed lightly: "Zhao Dazhui, your trick of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is really ruthless!" Brother, if you don't want to be motivated, I naturally have to find ways to help you. ”

Sure enough, it was him, Zhao Xian couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh when he saw the visitor, there was no doubt about it at this time, I'm afraid he was the only one who could know his whereabouts well!

"Ling Xian!!" When Su Wanyun saw someone coming, she suddenly screamed, pointed at him with a slight tremor in her hand, and said angrily: "You, a scum who deceived teachers and destroyed ancestors, dare to show your face?" If it weren't for you, a traitor......"

At this point, Su Wanyun paused again, her chest rose and fell sharply, and the past that she had forgotten for a few days resurfaced in her heart. She glanced at Zhao Xian deeply, and didn't say any more after all.

"Senior Sister Su!" Ling Xian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm just a chess piece of Master, in fact, in the secret guard, except for you, Senior Sister, everyone else is a dispensable chess piece." You are her niece, so you have become the heir of the secret guard as a matter of course, and the rest of the people can't get her approval even if they try hard, she is too self-righteous and thinks that everything is in her control. ”

"You!!" Su Wanyun was furious, but she opened her mouth, but she couldn't find an excuse to refute it. could only say with a cold face: "A teacher for one day and a father for life, Master, she taught you martial arts to learn, and ensured the glory and wealth of your Ling family, can it become an excuse for you to deceive the teacher and destroy your ancestors without her approval?" ”

"Deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor?" Ling Xian waved his hand lightly: "Senior Sister Su! I have worked so hard and done all these things, but I just want Master's approval. 'The master of the secret guard must have an iron heart', these words have been repeated countless times by the master, but you have never understood the meaning. It is true that Master died indirectly at my hands, but I think her old man recognized me before she died, and understood that I was her best apprentice and the most suitable heir of the secret guard. What I did was not to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, but to carry forward the master's beliefs, and the leader of the secret guard is not something that an emotional woman like you can do. ”

Su Wanyun was stunned for a moment, looking at Ling Xian with a flat smile, and suddenly felt speechless. At the beginning of the establishment of the secret guard, the purpose was to eat the strong, never prevent the struggle for power and profit among disciples, and even encourage this behavior, so the leaders of each generation of the secret guard are cold-blooded and ruthless. It's just that my aunt's expectations for herself are too high, and she never even treats other juniors and sisters seriously.

Su Wanyun secretly sighed bitterly, Ling Xian was indeed an outstanding disciple, he proved himself in the most direct way of the secret guard, if the secret guard was still there, he would undoubtedly be the next leader.

"The Secret Guard is gone, what's the point of you proving yourself?" Su Wanyun looked at him lightly. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Ling Xian's face darkened when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Xian angrily: "I'm going to ask you." We agreed that after you invaded Chang'an with your army, you would take Emperor Qi back to Daliang and establish yourself as king, and I would be the new leader of the secret guard. As a result, you let go of your military power and slipped away quietly, which led to the disbandment of the secret guard, and I can only go back to my hometown to continue to be an idle young master, is it good for you to do so. ”

Facing the angry Ling Xian, Zhao Xian shook his head and said, "The meaning of the existence of the secret guard. It is to spy on the military situation and one day destroy the beam. Now that the beam no longer exists, the continued existence of the secret guard will only bring disaster to the country and the people, why should you be obsessed? You have proven yourself, and now the Ling family is also free from the control of the secret guards. Wouldn't it be nice to have time to go back and honor your parents? ”

Ling Xian sneered a few times: "Don't talk to me in this tone of serving the country and the people. Zhao Da Hammer. You didn't execute the original plan. It's just because the relationship with Emperor Qi is entangled! Do you think she, as the king of a country, will really be grateful to you for this? You almost usurped her world, and the one she wants to get rid of most is probably you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have sneaked away, would you? ”

As he spoke, Ling Xian looked at the countless warships around him and said loudly, "Now, you still have one last chance to mobilize the old department of the An family to rebuild the beams, although it is only half of the country, it is better than nothing." ”

The soldiers who rowed a small boat in the river to salvage had been searching for a long time, but they still did not find the shadow of Shen Yu.

The river was quite urgent, and I didn't know where it was. Zhao Xian's mind darkened, he looked at Ling Xian, suppressed his anger and said, "If I don't agree?" ”

Ling Xian and Yue Jiheng's faces changed, Ling Xian's brows furrowed tightly, after all, he and Zhao Xian had known each other for more than ten years, and Huayu was the teacher who taught him to read and write, and the two families would just go over the wall in Osmanthus Lane. Zhao Xianfang reminded him to go back to honor his father, didn't he warn him not to beat his wife and children? Ling Xian snorted secretly, he really didn't know how to threaten Zhao Xian.

Yue Jiheng didn't have too many worries, looked at Yijun and the others on the deck on his body, and said slowly: "Zhao Xian, the one who knows the times is Junjie, I have to rely on your strength to recruit the soldiers of the An family, but it doesn't mean that I can't do anything about you." Friends, tearing your face directly is too bad after all, as long as you agree to cooperate with me......"

Before the words fell, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons from behind, like a thunderbolt exploding next to the warship on a sunny day, almost shaking Yue Jiheng and the others to the bottom of the ship.

"Enemy Attack !!" A shrill cry suddenly spread across the river. The soldiers on the Daliang ships panicked instantly, and the hundreds of warships on the opposite side were also equipped with high-tech weapons such as artillery, and most of them were still on the shore with only 10,000 men, and they didn't even have a decent command, so they were unprepared for how to fight this battle?

My day, where is the enemy attacking? Directly fire artillery and attack indiscriminately, this Northern Qi still wants to take this opportunity to fight all at once? Zhao Xian was suddenly frightened, there were hungry wolves in front of him and fierce tigers in the back, is it really difficult to fly today?

Before he could think about it, a few more cannons fell on the water dozens of meters away, Zhao Xian hurriedly asked Yijun and the others to take shelter in the cabin today, and turned his eyes to look back, but saw a hundred giant ships coming from afar, with dragon flags waving on them, and the big golden word 'Qi' flashed dazzling under the scorching sun.

"How could the army of Northern Qi suddenly appear here?" Yue Ji Hengda was shocked, and after a while, he suddenly looked at Ling Xian again, and said angrily: "You guys are really unreliable, this is a trap, you Northern Qi don't want to recruit me and others, deliberately shoot you to encourage me to stand on my own, and then take this opportunity to wipe us out!" ”

Seeing the dragon flag of the Son of Heaven, Ling Xian was also dumbfounded, he came here to intercept Zhao Xian, how could Zhao Xian follow the army of the Northern Qi Emperor to drive his own expedition? A certain non-Zhao Xian was the bait of Northern Qi, and deliberately tricked him, Yue Jiheng and others to come here, so as to catch them all?

Thinking of this, Ling Xian couldn't help but be even more angry, looked at Zhao Xian and said angrily: "Okay, you Zhao Da Hammer, you actually took risks alone, and came here with your wife and children to be bait." You are working so hard for Emperor Qi before and after the saddle, do you want to be her face? A man can be regarded as a wonder if he does your job! ”

"Lao Tzu also wants to ask where these troops come from." Zhao Xian stood on the bow of the boat and said angrily: "If I am a bait, why would I talk so much nonsense with you?" ”

deliberately left Chang'an without saying goodbye, how did you get here, there will be a fleet behind? Zhao Xian was puzzled.

"Boom!" Two more shots, but strangely enough, these shells all fell into the water and did not hit any targets, which looked like a warning.

His wife and daughter were on the boat, Zhao Xian was shocked and angry, took the telescope from Side's hand, and looked at the Northern Qi warship.

At the same time, Su Wanyun was much more relaxed, looking at the dragon boat of the Son of Heaven sailing from afar, and said to Yue Jiheng: "The general trend of the Great Liang has gone, even if you occupy the mountain as the king, how long can you enjoy peace?" I advise you not to be obsessed with it, and even your soldiers have lost their lives in vain, as long as you give up resistance and surrender, my emperor will ensure that your official affairs remain the same as before, safe and sound. "Without the power of the past, you may not be able to fulfill your promises, but if you persuade you to surrender, you have to move your mouth, and when you enter the door of Northern Qi, you don't have to listen to the court for everything.

Yue Ji Heng was anxious, if he returned to Jinling City to defend himself, he might be able to hold out for a few days, but now that he was on the ship, he had to go to see his ancestors with a cannon. He could only raise his hand to stop the subordinates who were ready to resist, raise the flag to the north to signal a ceasefire, and then take two or three people in a small boat, slowly rowed over, and said loudly in fear halfway: "The last general Yue Jiheng, the former governor of the Great Liang expedition to the capital, was originally going to bring the army to join His Majesty, but it has been delayed for a long time due to trivial matters, and has not been ......able to do so far."

Northern Qi really stopped the artillery, and several small boats came down and took Yue Jiheng over.

At the same time, Zhao Xian frowned, and looked at the dragon ship headed by the Northern Qi with a telescope. For a moment, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened again. I saw that on the deck of the dragon ship, there was a beautiful woman in a brocade robe and an extraordinary palace costume, who was also holding a telescope to look at him, and beckoned quite mischievously, indicating that he saw himself.

You still shoot when you see me? Zhao Xian's face was extremely gloomy, and he put away the binoculars, Liang Jun had already given up resistance, Yue Jiheng also went to surrender alone, and the ladies were not in danger for the time being.

He looked back not only from the worry in his heart, he directly turned over and jumped into the icy river, but the sudden action startled Xingya on the boat, and thought that his arrival scared Zhao Xian into the river and committed suicide.

Looking around, the river is surging, although Zhao Xian struggled to dive into the water, he also felt that it was too redundant, it took so long to jump into the water to save people, is there any meaning?

There was no motivation in his body, Zhao Xian looked at the endless river blankly, his heart seemed to be wrapped in more than a dozen layers of silk cloth, and every beating was very difficult. Your martial arts are so good, you must not die so easily!

"Your Majesty, what is General Zhao doing?"

On the deck of the dragon boat, in front of the two palace maids holding feather fans, the palace maids in goose yellow skirts looked at Zhao Xian in the river curiously, and said to the woman in the gorgeous dress with big sleeves beside her.

With a flick of his sleeves, Xingya's beautiful eyes also showed a hint of confusion: "He has always been so strange that people can't figure it out." The jade hand was raised lightly, and the colorful parrot ran to her sleeve with interest, and she murmured softly: "Xiaoxian, do you know what that dead liar is doing?" Why don't you give me a good face, I didn't mess with him......"

The palace maid lowered her eyes quietly, although she did not interject, but there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.

After a while, Xing Yaliu's eyebrows condensed slightly, and asked: "Xiaolan, did you find the mysterious person who expected Yue Jiheng to rebel and hijack Zhao Xian to control the An family, and even knew Zhao Xian's whereabouts well?" ”

The palace maid shook her head lightly: "Your Majesty, that person's letter was directly placed next to the pillow of the Luoyang prefect, he must be a strong martial artist, and the chance of finding out is very slim." ”

Xingya sighed lightly when she heard this: "This mysterious man has an extremely outstanding vision and strategy, and if he can be retained, he will be a rare talent." This time, Yue Jiheng wanted to stand on his own feet according to the remnants of the Great Liang Army and set up an ambush on the road that Zhao Xian must pass. Zhao Xian was careless, he didn't expect Yue Jiheng to be so ambitious, if there was no advance notice from this person, I don't know how long this war would drag on, and Zhao Xian's confidants would probably become prisoners of the subordinates. ”

At this point, Xingya's eyebrows were slightly gloomy, and with a flick of her jade finger, the parrot flew to the sail of the ship with interest. She turned her eyes to look at Zhao Xian, who was struggling to search in the water, and finally turned into a silent sigh and slowly entered the cabin...... (To be continued......)
