Chapter 257: Arrest Operation
After a whole day of searching, all the ships in the port were searched, but no rice seeds were found. Li Yexu came back to report in frustration, worried that he would be reprimanded by His Majesty.
"Karma, how's it going?" The eldest grandson Chong asked, why did you put up this matter, it seems that this Japanese people have a nature of slaughter since ancient times, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals and destroy human nature. Since he came to the most powerful Tang Dynasty, he swore to heaven that he would eradicate the Wa Kingdom in his lifetime, so that the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyu Islands would become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yexu shook his head, his face was not good-looking.
"Don't worry, maybe those people are gone." The eldest grandson Chong comforted and said that the sudden arrival of the Wa Kingdom made the Tang Emperor and the meritorious man angry, but he was helpless. The country has just begun to recuperate and cannot move troops at will; Moreover, the preparation is insufficient, the navy has not yet been formed, and the warships across the sea have not yet been built, so they can only stare at the east.
Duan Zhixuan was at the door, saw the two of them coming, and said softly: "Your Majesty has not eaten or drunk for a day and a night." ”
Changsun Chong and Li Yexu looked at each other, and said in their hearts, although it is very important to be able to catch the criminals, His Majesty's body is even more important. Li Er is still very qualified as an emperor, although he usually likes to take advantage of him and is a little shameless, but Changsun Chong feels that he is so down-to-earth. If one day, Li Er is polite to her, then Changsun Chong will beat a drum in his heart, is this emperor going to clean him up.
The eldest grandson rushed in and saw Li Er sitting on a stool, looking at the bow on the table, his eyes staring at the country without blinking.
"Your Majesty, your health is important, sooner or later, one day, we will set foot on the Wa Kingdom. Now that Datang is recuperating and recuperating, everything needs His Majesty to come forward in person. If you're not feeling well. The prince is still young, and he doesn't look at the big responsibility for the time being, so the Tang Dynasty is in danger! You are the Khan of the sky, if there are three long and two short, it will be painful for relatives and fast for enemies. ”
Li Er's eyes lifted from the map, and his fierce appearance made Changsun Chong and Li Yexu take two steps back.
Cheng Yanjin stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't be like this. Even juniors can't stand it anymore. We have not seen any storms since the incident, and we cannot be defeated by this difficulty. Once ready, the minister is here to ask for his life, and then the minister must lead the army. Personally set foot on the Wa Kingdom. ”
Li Er patted Cheng on the shoulder, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I wrote it down." When the time comes, I will surely avenge these people. ”
At midnight. The inside of the harbor is quiet and calm. It may be that during the day, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are fierce and vicious, so they have a lot of peace. In the night sky, a dark shadow. Tap on the water, jump from one place to the top of another and eavesdrop on the conversation.
"Your Excellency. Can we go tomorrow? A muffled voice came.
Liu Muxiang just wanted to leave, but when she heard this, she gently leaned on the top of the boat, her ears against the surface, wanting to listen more carefully. This "adult" does not mean to grow up, it must be the title of an official.
"Shhh, be quiet, although we have escaped the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, but who knows what will happen to them tomorrow, so we better be careful." The other, a little hoarse, reprimanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir! They couldn't have imagined that we would be loaded in a spare boat, which is usually not loaded with anything. ”
"Yaga! Shut up! ”
"Yes!" The old man looked at the young man gloomily, if this person was not the emperor's son, he would have been punished a long time ago.
Liu Muxiang listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly realized. Today he felt that the people on these four ships did not look like people who had been at sea all year round, but they had not found anything on the boat, which made her puzzled, because they had put the food in the lifeboat in the boat. Because it is on the boat gang, it is open to the outside and is easy to get wet, so it is rare to put anything on it.
The lifeboat, as the name suggests, is a small boat prepared to prevent accidents, and ordinary people will not put things on it, so when they search again, they automatically abandon the place.
Liu Muxiang remembered the location, didn't stop long, and hurried back.
Eldest Sun Chong and Li Yexu had just come out of Li Er's room, and both of them were in a bad mood and were not in a good mood.
Liu Muxiang didn't take the usual path, asked for a while, and knew that Changsun Chong was not in his room, so he came over to find Changsun Chong, saw Changsun Chong's figure, and quickened his pace.
"Mu Xiang, it's so late, why didn't you go to rest?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.
Liu Muxiang said softly: "I just went to the port to explore at night and heard the conversation between the two people, such as evading the search and putting them on the lifeboat. ”
Li Yexu suddenly realized that when they searched during the day, they didn't think of searching that place at all.
"Are the ships we found unusual during the day?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.
Liu Muxiang nodded and said, "Well, yes." ”
"We're going to search for it now?" After Li Yexu finished speaking, he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Liu Muxiang stopped and said, "It's not right, it's night, we can't startle the snake." After all, there are many real merchants in the port. Since we have come to Datang, we will try our best to ensure their safety, so we can't attack at night. Tomorrow we will send more officers and men to leave the ships in the harbor in batches. This ensures that nothing goes wrong and that innocent casualties are avoided. ”
The eldest grandson Chong and Li Yexu thought about it and felt that it was very true, so they nodded and said, "Well, then wait for tomorrow." ”
"Mu Xiang, I'll send you back to your room!" Changsun Chong said, this time thanks to Mu Xiang, otherwise they wouldn't have a clue.
Liu Muxiang shook his head and said: "No need, I can go back by myself, you can also go back to rest, those people are in the port, they won't run, you should also go back to rest quickly." Tomorrow morning, we'll go again. ”
Li Yexu looked at it and found an excuse to leave, and left with the guards.
Seeing that there was no one else, the eldest grandson Chong took Liu Muxiang's hand and said, "Muxiang, let's go together." ”
Seeing that there was no one, Liu Muxiang stopped struggling, and said with a smile: "Okay! ”
The eldest grandson Chong kissed Liu Muxiang on the forehead and said, "Muxiang, go to bed early, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow." ”
Liu Muxiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, tomorrow I will be sure to capture them and avenge the people who died in vain." ”
Early the next morning, I hurriedly had breakfast and reported to Li Er, who listened to it and said, "Try to catch those who are alive, and those who are not convinced will be killed."
Li Yexu took Li Er's order and immediately turned around and left.
When they arrived at the port, the port returned to noisy and prosperous.
Li Yexu asked some people to search the other ships, and asked most of the people to come to the four ships that Liu Muxiang found problematic yesterday.
"My lord, the port is starting to be released." Seeing that there are fewer and fewer ships in the port, I feel slightly relieved that if they don't talk again, they will worry that something will go wrong.
However, when they saw the officers and soldiers searching the location of the lifeboat in the boat, they were immediately frightened, and immediately went back to prepare to transfer the rice seeds in the lifeboat or pour them into the water, otherwise they would all die if they were discovered by the officers and soldiers.
"My lord, it's no good, the officers and soldiers are searching for the things on the lifeboat!"
An old man's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't believe it, and asked, "Really?" ”
"Yes, they are already approaching us." Said anxiously.
"If you give the order, you can leave the port, and you will leave the port at all costs." The old man made a decisive decision, if they didn't leave, they might never be able to leave.
"My lord, there are so many officers and soldiers, we can't beat them."
"If you don't go, you're waiting for death; If you fight, you might be able to survive. The old man said in a deep voice, ready to break the cauldron and flee desperately.
Their boat is not large, so it can run through the cracks.
"Arrest them all." Li Yexu gave the order, and his subordinates played the flag.
But these four ships, like madmen, ignored them, and when they saw a gap, they went to the exit, and they squeezed through them.
The other merchants, seeing the officers and soldiers chasing the four boats, stayed still or retreated in order to avoid harming the fish in the pond.
Four ships, one of which really rushed out.
"General Li, I'll leave it to you here, I'll catch up with that ship first." Because there are many ships in it, and the ships of Datang are relatively large, they are not flexible and can't catch up, so Liu Muxiang has to use light power first, catch up first, and delay time.
Liu Mulan saw her sister chasing the boat alone, worried about her sister's safety, and did not love war, after following her sister, the brother and sister could also take care of each other.
The big bear saw that the two of them were like seabirds, tiptoe to the water, a few ups and downs, and actually arrived on the boat.
Liu Muxiang used a stainless steel spear given to her by Changsun Chong, and Liu Mulan's weapon was a Tang knife given to him by his sister Liu Muxiang. In fact, this was also given to Liu Muxiang by Changsun Chong, but Liu Muxiang prefers stainless steel spears to Tang Dao.
"Big brother, why are you here?" Liu Muxiang heard the sound of a fight behind her and turned to see her brother.
The Tang knife in Liu Muxiang's hand harvested the heads of these people with a wave, and replied, "I'm worried that you'll come over." ”
Brothers and sisters are concentric, and their profits are golden. The two have the same martial arts origins, and they often practice martial arts together, so they cooperate very tacitly.
Knowing that they could not escape, the three boats inside began to set fires, injuring many people, including Japanese and officers and soldiers.
Zhang Daliang saw that the situation here had stabilized, so he personally led people to chase after him.
From their martial arts, Liu Muxiang can already conclude that these people are from Dongying, because of the previous battle, Liu Muxiang has a certain understanding of their martial arts, so he is handy.
The old man had to come out to fight, holding a well-made sword.
"Since you two are trying to chase after you two without your might, then don't go back." The hoarse voice of the old man came over, which was what Liu Muxiang heard that day.
"Hehe, it's not necessarily who can't go back!" Liu Muxiang said coldly, "Big brother, you cover me!" (To be continued......)
