Chapter 73: Beyond self-reproach

The Xiliu Ferry is also very lively, and there are constantly warships coming here one after another, either loaded with grain and grass, or loaded with siege equipment.

Ge Lijun sent 2,000 soldiers to guard the ferry day and night in case anything changed.

Fortunately, He Qingyi went early, otherwise even if she was in the name of a dart, she would not have thought of going to Zhoudao Island.

The people sent by Chen Jianghan to purchase porcelain jars were all blocked at the Xiliu ferry and could not return to Zhouzhou Island.

In the past few years, Ge Lijun has continued to recruit private soldiers, and so far there are as many as 60,000 soldiers, divided into six armies, each with more than 10,000 people. That's it, not counting the garrisons in various places, if you add the garrisons stationed in various counties, it will be more than 20,000 people.

Of course, if he hadn't had so many troops, he wouldn't have had the courage to attack the island.

But that day and night, there was still a small boat drifting towards the island.

The soldiers who dug the traps have all rested, and only the soldiers who patrol the night are still patrolling the coast of the island.

In the night, the boat rowed straight towards the cliff on the west side of the island, and above this cliff was a corner of the Southern Song Dynasty Palace.

In the past, Xiao Jin, the Le Wu sisters, and those men in black all climbed up from here. For ordinary people, it is naturally difficult to climb this cliff, but for a slightly skilled practitioner, as long as there is an iron claw hook in hand, it is not too difficult to climb up.

I saw that the boat was on the shore of the cliff, and then the figure on the boat climbed towards it with his bare hands.

She is extremely athletic, using only her hands and feet like a gecko on the cliff, crawling fast, and her posture is quite good-looking.

In only ten minutes, she had climbed to the edge of the cliff, and then jumped into the woods and ran towards the palace.

Dozens of meters outside the palace, she stopped and hid behind a tree.

With the experience of being stabbed twice before, Zhao Dongting learned to be obedient, and now he has asked the soldiers to cut down all the trees within five meters of the palace wall. Even at night, there are two teams of guards patrolling back and forth here with torches.

Don't say it's a human, it's a bat, and if you want to pass through this five-meter blank area, you have to be discovered by the guards.

The man hid behind a tree and thought about it, and after a few minutes, pursed his red lips and learned a few birdsongs.

The guards on patrol in the two teams didn't feel anything abnormal, but in Zhao Dongting's bedroom, Le Wu suddenly jumped up, "Sister is here!"

She and Ying'er haven't slept yet, and they are here with Zhao Dongting. These days, it is common for Zhao Dongting to stay up late.

Zhao Dongting hadn't seen Le Wu so elated for a long time, and was thinking about something, he was taken aback, and after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but show surprise, "Where is your sister?"

Le Wu smiled and said, "You listen to this bird's call, only my sister and I can learn this." ”

As she spoke, she pursed her pink lips as well, learned a few birdsongs, and then hurried outside.

Zhao Dongting also hurriedly followed.

Since he saw Le Chan's appearance that night, he still can't forget it.

Ying'er and Li Yuanxiu naturally hurriedly followed.

By the time they got outside, the music and dance had already climbed over the wall. However, she was stunned again, and then jumped down again, and walked back with her head down.

Zhao Dongting said strangely: "What's wrong?"

He also heard the birdsong coming from outside the wall, and he didn't think it was funny, Le Chan still chose to climb the cliff.

Le Wu hung her head and said, "I'd better not see my sister, Xiaojin's business ......"

She has been sad for Xiaojin these days, and she was very happy to learn that her sister had come, but when she was on the wall, she suddenly remembered that her sister would definitely ask Xiaojin, which made her heart very complicated. She really doesn't know how to face her sister, who also regards Xiaojin as her closest partner.

Zhao Dongting was also stunned, and then sighed: "It's my fault for this, I told your sister." ”

Le Wu said: "But sister, she will still be sad." ”

Zhao Dongting said: "But sooner or later she will know, won't she?"

Saying that, he walked to the wall, asked Li Yuanxiu to lift him to the wall, and shouted into the forest outside: "Is it Miss Lechan, please come here!"

The guards on patrol were dumbfounded when they saw their emperor climbing the wall and still shouting about the girl.

Le Chan walked out of the forest, went to the clearing, and knelt on the ground, "The folk girl Le Chan has seen the emperor. ”

Although she is wearing black clothes, she still outlines her figure, with a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, and a straight nose, which looks extremely beautiful.

Zhao Dongting was overjoyed when he saw that it was really her, and said again and again: "Hurry up, please get up, please get up, Miss Lechan, please come in!"

The two teams of guards knelt on the ground and saluted, but he didn't have time to pay attention.

Le Chan stood up, walked to the wall, suddenly jumped up, stepped on the wall two steps in a row, and the person had reached the wall, dancing like a fairy.

Zhao Dongting saw that it was a soul grant at this moment, and he only felt that his soul had flown to Le Chan.

Le Chan didn't see his eyes, and when she saw that Le Wu was below, she hurriedly jumped down and walked in front of her sister.

Le Wu lowered her eyebrows and shouted, "Sister." ”

Le Chan knew her temperament very well, and when she saw her so well-behaved, she rubbed her head and asked with a light smile: "Why are you so well-behaved?

In the past, if this sister didn't see her for a few days, she would always throw herself directly into her arms.

Le Wu didn't dare to say anything about the golden dragon, but still lowered her little head, and just said, "Sister, why are you here?"

Le Chan said softly: "My father's condition has improved, and he is resting at home, I have nothing to do, so I am thinking about coming to see you." ”

Some time ago, Le Wu wrote a letter to her family, saying that she is now working as a personal maid by Zhao Dongting's side.

For this matter, Le Chan is still a little grateful to Zhao Dongting in her heart. Not only did she ignore her past suspicions, but she also treated her sister so well.

Zhao Dongting also jumped off the wall at this time, let Li Yuanxiu then land, walked next to Le Chan, looked at it with a smile, and did not speak.

After the two sisters finished saying these two sentences, he said, "It's cool outside, why don't you go to my bedroom to talk again?"

The temperature difference between day and night is very large, the temperature is extremely high during the day, the sun is hot, but the night is a little cold.

Le Chan thanked her, and several people walked to Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

When he got inside, Zhao Dongting asked Ying'er to get some refreshments and fruits, and then looked at Le Chan with a smile.

Because he was just a child, Le Chan didn't feel weird when he looked at him like this.

Le Wu always thought about Xiaojin's affairs, and lowered her head and didn't speak.

Le Chan asked Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, can Le Wu be obedient in the palace?"

What she is most worried about is this, the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, and the cola dance is wild, and she is really worried that something will happen to this sister.

Hearing this, Zhao Dongting hurriedly replied: "Obedient, very obedient, she also saved my life!"

Le Chan didn't know about the assassination of the man in black, and said strangely: "She saved your life?"

Zhao Dongting told all the things about the man in black, as well as the fact that Le Wu took him to jump into the sea and was rescued by Xiaojin.

It's just that he didn't say anything directly about Xiaojin's death, for fear that Le Chan wouldn't be able to accept it for a while.

After hearing this, Le Chan's usually cold pretty face couldn't help but show a few smiles, and then asked, "What about Xiaojin?"

Le Wu couldn't help but sobbed quietly beside him.

Zhao Dongting said: "Xiaojin ...... it"

Before she finished speaking, Le Chan already sensed that something was wrong, and her face turned a little pale.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongting couldn't bear to say any more.

Le Chan glared at Le Wu, and her tone was quite heavy, "Little sister, where is Xiao Jin?"

Lewu is just crying.

Zhao Dongting apologized and said, "Miss Lechan, this thing is strange. That night, I was injured by a thief with a hidden weapon, and the hidden weapon was poisoned, and in order to save my life, Le Wu had to give me Xiaojin's snake gall. If you are angry, let me be angry......"

Le Chan's face was even paler, her delicate body shook a few times, and she almost fainted.

In her heart, Xiao Jin is her family.

At this moment, endless sadness invaded her heart.

But how could she be angry with Zhao Dongting?

She also understands that Xiaomei must be helpless, so she will endure the heartache and take off Xiaojin's snake gallbladder with her own hands.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that the little sister's heart must be more sad than herself at this time.

She couldn't help but shed tears, hugging Lewu who was bowing her head and sobbing, and the sisters hugged their heads and cried.

Zhao Dongting watched from the side, and while blaming himself, he secretly swore in his heart that when Ge Lijun was resolved, he would definitely find out those black-clothed people!

Ying'er came in with refreshments and fruits, and when she saw the sisters crying, she quietly put things on the table and didn't speak.

It took a long time for the sisters to stop crying.

Le Chan had red eyes, but she still wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for Le Wu, and said softly: "Xiao Jin died to save the emperor, and he died well, little sister, don't be too sad." If my sister is here, she will choose to do the same as you. ”

Le Wu, who had just stopped crying, almost cried again when she heard this.

Le Chan herself was actually sad and unbearable, and stood up and said to Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, so the people's daughter will leave first." ”

She was tempted to find a place to hide and cry now.

Zhao Dongting was naturally reluctant to let her go, thought about it, and said: "Miss Lechan's father's condition has improved, why doesn't the girl stay in the palace for a few days? Now Leizhou Zhizhou Ge Lijun intends to rebel, and he will attack in the near future? ”。

As he spoke, he pursed at Le Wu, who bowed his head and was silent.

Le Chan was also a little hesitant for a while.
