Chapter 216: Where is Home?

The Mo knife of the majestic sea was too heavy, he thought about it for a long time when he first came out of Ju Yeze, and he still didn't bring it for the sake of the war horse that Li Xian found for him, anyway, this time he went out not to fight on the battlefield, so he chose an iron rod that was much lighter than his Mo knife.

That's why he has such an exclamation.

It's a pity that I didn't bring my Modao.

He hid under the tree and waited for Li Xian to force Wen Jiao over and then suddenly struck a blow, which was originally a killing blow that Li Xian came up with, but because he didn't have the weapon in his hand and Wen Jiao's reaction was unexpectedly fast, this stick failed to kill with one blow. wasted the clever game designed by the general, and Xiong Kuohai felt that it was a pity to be 100%. He is not good at horse fighting, but he was praised by Li Xian as invincible in foot combat, which shows how strong the martial arts of the majestic sea are. But even so, this long-standing stick still can't kill Wen Yao.

When the iron rod was about to smash into Wen Yao's body, Xiong Kuohai knew the result.

Wen Yao's reaction was incredibly fast, and he was able to reverse the long knife in his hand to block his back in the face of a sudden attack, and then rushed forward violently. This stick hit his long knife first and then hit his back, and in this case he was able to fly out to the side with his strength, it seemed that he was beaten away by a stick in the majestic sea, but in fact, the power of this stick was unloaded by him with the help of a forward rush and a long knife.

After Wen Jiao flew out, he stabbed obliquely with the long knife that had been smashed and changed shape, forcing Li Xian, who took advantage of the opportunity, to land on his feet, but a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen came, so that he could no longer stabilize his body, and his steps staggered, and then he fell to the ground with a thud. Qing Kite and Huang Luan quickly rushed over and worked together to help Wen Jiao up. At this time, the brocade guards in the woods had already led the horse to the front, the green kite and Huang Luan helped Wen Jiao on the horse's back, dozens of brocade guards used crossbows to force Li Xian and Xiong Kuohai to retreat, the green kite helped Wen Jiao to ride a horse, Huang Luan got on the horse and guarded the horse on the side and left.

Dozens of brocade-clothed guards mounted their horses and fled along the river to one side, and the remaining more than 200 brocade-clothed guards under the leadership of a school captain actually quickly formed a long wall to stop Li Xian and his men.

Li Xianyue got on the big black horse and led the cavalry forward, and the more than 200 brocade-clothed guards were not afraid of death and blocked the front of the elite cavalry of Yanyun Village with their bodies. They did not hesitate to use their bodies to block the horses, and used their flesh and blood to block the horses' hooves, and more than 200 people spilled their blood on the spot. Li Xian rode a big black horse and chased for a while and was intercepted by the brocade guards who were separated, and so three times, more than ten brocade guards escorted Wen Jiao and finally escaped.

Li Xian cut off the head of the last brocade-clothed guard who stopped in front of him with a knife, and when he looked forward, there was no shadow of Wen Jiao and the others.

Pushing the visor up, Li Xian shook his head slightly and sighed.

Knowing that chasing again was unintentional, Li Xian turned his horse back, turned over and dismounted in front of Ye Huai's sleeve. He walked up to Ye Huaisleeve and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Ye Huaisleeve nodded to him and then slowly walked towards Ye Fuyu's corpse, at this time, Ye Fanyun had already passed out crying, and Jia'er was still sobbing while holding Ye Fuyu's corpse.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Li Xian followed behind Ye Huaisleeve and said softly.

Ye Huaisleeve slowly shook his head and said, "You didn't come late. ”

She squatted down beside Ye Fuyu, stretched out her hand to slowly cover his face, and then caressed his open eyes.

"Their brothers grew up in the Ye family, when their parents took the two of them to join their relatives, but they were seriously ill and died halfway, and they didn't know whether it was God's mercy or his parents' virtue, but the two brothers who were still in the swaddling clothes were not infected, and it happened that their father took them back to the grass house, and since then they have also been surnamed Ye."

Ye Huai took out a handkerchief and said while wiping the blood on Ye Fuyu's face: "Since childhood, they actually know that they are not from the Ye family, but they have always regarded the Ye family as their home, regarded me as a sister, and regarded my father as a father. ”

"It's not far from the grass house, but I didn't promise him."

Ye Huaisleeve remembered Ye Fuyu's regret and attachment before he died, and muttered, "Why didn't I agree to him?" ”

"Bury him in a cottage."

Li Xian held Ye Huai's shoulder and said softly, "I'll accompany you to send him back to the cottage." ”

……

……

The cavalry made several stretchers and carried Ye Fuyu's body and the wounded Liu Heimin, Ye Chuanyun and Xu Blind on the road. Xu Blind knew that he was able to survive this time thanks to his good luck, if he hadn't encountered the people of Yanyunzhai, he was afraid that he would have been captured by the eagle dogs of the imperial court, tortured, and finally inevitably died without a place to be buried.

When he learned that the young general was the lord of Yanyun Village, he was even more shocked. To be able to become a big man at such a young age, and to have such elite soldiers and many heroes to help him, it has to be amazing. Especially Li Xian's martial arts did not fall behind when he fought with Wen Yao, and Xu Blind felt even more amazed.

He saw Wen Jiao make a move, although Wen Yao was a eunuch, but the domineering attitude when he shot was almost impossible to find an opponent in the world. Holding a big black umbrella in one hand and a big iron gun in the other, three people were injured in one shot, and those three people were all good martial artists, which shows how strong Wen Yao's cultivation is, but Li Xian can force Wen Jia back with seven arrows, and then fight with Wen Jia shows an amazing side of knife skills. At this time, Xu Blind had already compared Li Xian's skills with several heroes in Wagangzhai in his heart, and even he felt that even if Cheng Dangjia fought Wen Jia alone, he might not be able to do better than Li Xian.

He insisted on leaving, but the injuries to his legs and shoulders were too serious.

Li Xian let him recuperate, and then send someone to send him back to Wagangzhai after his injuries are healed. At this time, Xu Blind had already lost the resentment of being stabbed in the shoulder by Liu Heimin, but was impressed by the courage to kill people when Liu Heimin was seriously injured before. He originally thought that only the people in their Wagangzhai were the real heroes, and the other rebels were just a group of grass bandits, but after seeing the people in Yanyunzhai, he finally knew that there were people outside the world and there was a truth outside the sky.

He lay on the stretcher and secretly thought to himself that if he could return to Wagangzhai, he must talk about the strength of Yanyunzhai in front of his nephew Xu Shiji, the military master of Wagangzhai. He even thought that if he could prompt the two cottages to join forces, who else would be the opponent in the north and south of the Yellow River? Even if Yang Yichen, who claims to be victorious in a hundred battles, what is he afraid of?

It's just that his status in Wagangzhai is not very high, so although he thinks about it, it is not good to talk about these things with Li on behalf of Wagangzhai.

Li Xian led the cavalry to escort Ye Fuyu's body back to the grass house for burial, during which he carefully treated several injured people. When he was in the Saibei grassland, he learned a lot of medical science from Dugu Ruizhi, and later learned a lot from the old man Xu Zhizang, and the treatment of this kind of trauma was difficult for him.

They only stayed in the grass hut for a while, and after burying Ye Covered with Rain, the team began to return.

Along the way, Ye Huaisleeve rarely spoke, and even Jia'er was silent. Li Xian knew that it was because of this trip to Jiangnan, after all, Ye Fuyu was their family. It must be very uncomfortable to die like this. At this time, Zhu Yishi knew that his wife and children had returned to Juyeze first, and he knew that he was going to build a big ship for the rebels of Junoze. But after experiencing many things, he already had doubts about the definition of officials and bandits in his heart.

Once their Zhu family had a close relationship with the imperial court, when his father was deeply used and trusted by Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, and later their Zhu family led craftsmen to build dragon boats for the emperor, originally those craftsmen were still very happy, thinking that they could earn a rich reward for the family, but who knew that after the dragon boat was built, they were all executed on the way to Shui'an. The people hate those thieves, because they burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil, but the people hate the government and the court even more, if it were not for the injustice of the court, there are only a few who are willing to be thieves after all. Even the son of Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, who had great kindness to their Zhu family, was reversed, and his family was subjected to this drastic change, and his mood had been transformed.

This is the court, this is the official.

Relatively speaking, he suddenly felt that the so-called anti-thieves were actually much more benevolent and righteous than the imperial court, and they could trust each other's surnames and lives, without so many dirty things in the imperial court.

It's good to be alive, this is Zhu Yishi's biggest feeling now.

……

……

After returning to Juyeze, Ye Huaichong went back to his small courtyard in the back mountain, Li Xian asked Ou Siqingqing to follow her to comfort her, and then returned to the Juyi Hall.

This time, Li Xian figured out one thing, although Ye Huaisleeve successfully brought Zhu Yishi back to Juyeze from Jiangdu, the price paid was thought-provoking. Speaking of which, it's all because the strength is not strong enough. If the Flying Tiger spy could be more powerful, and the retreat would be arranged, there would be no such thing. There is Long Tingwei in the imperial court, but his Flying Tiger spy is far from being able to compete with Long Tingwei head-on.

If you want to truly master all the initiative, you must make yourself stronger!

Therefore, after returning to Juyeze, Li Xian immediately began to arrange two things.

First, it is naturally a matter of the navy, he appointed Zhu Yishi as the second in command of the navy, the position is second only to Chen Que'er, and he can make his own decisions about everything needed for shipbuilding. Moreover, the Zhu family has always worked for the sailors of the Great Sui, and they also have a lot of experience in how to train the sailors Zhu Yishi, so he and Chen Que'er are in charge of the sailors Li Xian. Now the initial size of the navy is tentatively set at 5,000 men, and the large ships required will cause no suffering within a year.

The second thing is to expand the strength of the Flying Tiger spy again. Nowadays, the fame of Juye Zeyan Yunzhai is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people from all walks of life are investing. The people of Dongping County all know that the big boss of Juyeze is benevolent and does not harm the people, so many people come to defect, Li Xian asked Zhang Zhongjian to preside over the recruitment, and choose the best to accept the people who took refuge. At the same time, it was announced that Ye Huaisleeve would replace Chen Qi'er as the head of the Flying Tiger Spy, and the expansion of the Flying Tiger Spy was all handed over to her.

Liu Heimin and Niu Jinda were transferred to the navy to assist Chen Que'er in training, and Li Xian selected a few more capable people to hand over to Ye Huaisleeve.

After the arrangement, Li Xian deliberately found Ye Huai and talked about it once.

The sun sets, the pavilion is a small lake, and there is a cooking smoke and sunset in the distance.

"I hope ...... You can consider our cottage as your home in the future. ”

Li Xian looked at Ye Huaisleeve, who was still a little haggard, and said softly.

Ye Huaisleeve raised his hand and combed the hair that was blown by the mountain wind in front of his forehead, and smiled at Li Xian, but did not answer. She and Li Xian sat in the same pavilion where she first entered Junoze. Now the lotus flowers have bloomed, and the weather has turned cooler. From time to time, a leaf that has broken away from its branches falls early, and autumn seems to come a little earlier than usual.

"Actually, after leaving Jiangnan Caolu, I don't know where home is."

After a long time, Ye Huaisleeve replied lightly.

"I thought that where I was, where was my home, but after the rain died, I suddenly realized that the home in their hearts had always been in the Jiangnan Caolu."

She smiled self-deprecatingly and shook her head slowly.

Li Xian thought for a long time, looked at Ye Huaisleeve's eyes and said: "If home represents dependence, warmth, and can live completely comfortably without having to be cautious, then maybe home is not a fixed place." ”

"As long as there is a family, it is home."

He smiled, looked at the falling leaves and said, "If you don't mind, you can see us as your family." ”

Ye Huai was stunned, looked at Li Xian and slowly repeated two words: "Family? ”
