In an instant, Qiu Yizhi was mentally prepared for the burning of jade, but calmed down, beckoned Liu Qing to sit down, and personally brought him a bowl of herbal tea, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, Liu Jiedu is also busy, right?" It's a pity that all the shops here have gone to avoid trouble, and there is no hot water, so please don't be surprised. ”

Liu Qing hurriedly got up and said, "Your Highness Yi, where are you talking about this?" What time is it now, and how could I think that? ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled and said, "What is the righteous highness and the unrighteous highness?" Now that you and I are brothers who live and die together, why do you pay attention to that false etiquette? ”

Liu Qing thought about it, this is really the truth, so he also sat down, and picked up the tea bowl is a cow drink. This bowl of herbal tea was soaked in the cold air of early spring, Liu Qing drank it all, but was refreshed, and said with a smile: "This tea is very good, I have never drunk such a good tea in my life." Before dying, to have such a blessing can be said to die without regrets. ”

Qiu Yizhi was very happy when he heard Liu Qing's words, so he drank all the herbal tea in front of him in one gulp, and said: "Then how about we replace wine with tea and agree to walk Huangquan Road and cross the Nai He Bridge together?" ”

Liu Qing was just about to agree, but suddenly saw an officer and soldier running from outside the door, panting and standing in front of the three of them, and said: "Report to the general, the Lingnan army is here!" The number was about 200 people, and General Zhao asked me to come and report the news. ”

When it came to the decisive moment of life and death, Liu Qing was still a little nervous after all, and said to the soldier who gave the order: "I know, you go down and continue to investigate, and if there is anything, just report it." ”

He watched the soldier retreat, and asked Qiu Yizhi again: "Your Highness Yi, the king of Lingnan is finally here, how should I deal with it, and ask for instructions." ”

Qiu Yizhi had already heard the herald soldier's message, and heard Liu Qing's inquiry, he suddenly stood up from the chair suddenly, smashed the empty tea bowl on the ground with all his strength, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Even if it is a human sword, I am a fish, and the half-dead fish has to run on the chopping board a few times." This vote is only about 200 people, and they will be annihilated first, and we will wait until they die, so don't let the king of Lingnan look down on them. With that, he strode out the door.

Although Lin Shuhan is a scholar, he is also calm, while getting up and following Qiu Yizhi out, he did not forget to unfold the folding fan he carried with him, and calmly fanned it to his chest a few times.

Liu Qing was the most breathless in the middle, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and made a lot of determination before he quickly followed.

The officers and soldiers who came to give the order were a little exaggerated, and the one who came to attack Yanziji Wharf was not led by Lingnan King Zheng Gui himself, but a team of about 200 people. This team attacked from south to north along the main road, and happened to avoid the officers and troops in the high-rise alleys, so they advanced extremely fast, and the first one arrived at the Swallow Rock Wharf.

Before this team came all the way to the dock, they were not fiercely blocked by the enemy, but they thought that the imperial soldiers and horses in Jinling City had become frightened birds, so they did not send troops to explore the way, and they broke into the defense range of Qiuyi's headquarters in ignorance.

These Lingnan troops were very arrogant and did not hide, so their whereabouts were immediately discovered by Zhao Chengxiao, who was in command in front, and after calling an officer and soldier to go back to report, he ordered the soldiers who were already on both sides of the road to keep quiet, and after these soldiers approached, they would be annihilated with a salp of arrows.

This group of Lingnan soldiers was too proud, and they fell into the trap set by Zhao Chengxiao without a head or a brain, and before they could make contact with the opponent, they were swept down by countless arrows like a storm, and only thirty or fifty escaped by luck.

By the time Qiu Yizhi led Lin Shuhan and Liu Qing to the front of the battle, the short battle had ended, and there were twenty or thirty soldiers dressed in the uniforms of Jiangnan Province, picking up the arrows that had been fired.

This is Zhao Chengxiao's instructions, he knows that now is the time for the trapped beast to fight, except for relying on himself, there is no backup and supply, even if it is the last crossbow arrow, the last war knife, will play an irreplaceable role. As for the corpses of the soldiers of the Lingnan Army who were shot dead in front of the battle, there was no time to bury them.

When Lin Shuhan saw such a scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and said softly to Qiu Yizhi with a wry smile: "Although this battle was fought happily, the prince of Lingnan must have guessed that you must be on the side of Yanziji Wharf, and I am afraid that you will lead heavy troops to attack us." ”

Qiu Yizhi waved his hand indifferently and said: "King Lingnan is not a stupid person, although Jinling City is big, it is just a slightly wider iron bucket now, how can I hide it from him here?" Sooner or later, he will know the whereabouts of our waiting, sooner or later, what's the big deal? ”

He saw Uncle Lin nodding with a smile, so he kicked the two sacks on the ground with his foot, and said: "It's a beautiful thing to talk about the heroes of the world when you're tired. With that, Qiu Yizhi sat cross-legged on top of the sack.

Lin Shuhan, who was usually extremely trimmed, didn't pay much attention to his appearance at the moment, looked at the sack on the ground, didn't even bother to pat the floating ash attached to it, and sat down cross-legged, and said with a smile: "How dare you, people are dying and their words are good." If the adults have any questions, Lin should know everything. ”

Now, Qiu Yizhi doesn't need to shy away from it, and he said: "Now Jinling City has actually been captured by the King of Lingnan. In this way, the south of the Yangtze River, except for Huguang, which the right general Wei Hu is still holding onto, has fallen into the hands of the king of Lingnan. It is not an exaggeration to say that the king of Lingnan has won half of the country, I don't know how the general trend of the world will develop? ”

When Lin Shuhan heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "My lord, this question is so big!" Such a topic, even if you write ten or eight 10,000-word books, you may not be able to analyze it clearly. Seeing that the king of Lingnan is about to be killed, isn't it intentional to embarrass Lin with such a grand topic? ”

Qiu Yizhi and Lin Shuhan are friends who are not rebellious, and knowing that his temperament likes to sell off the most, he said with a smile: "If it is put on others, even if it is two or three years, it may not be able to come up with a clue, but with Mr. 's talent, he must have a successful plan, right?" ”

Lin Shuhan couldn't stand the compliments of others, and thought of the identity and intelligence of the person who flattered him, and he was indescribably happy in his heart, so he shook the folding fan again and replied: "The adults look down on me, Lin is just a poor scholar, this kind of world trend is just nonsense, adults have heard it, don't take it to heart......

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he accosted: "Even if I put it in my heart, how long can I put it down?" Let's ask Mr. Lin for advice. ”

"I'm not afraid of adult jokes, in my humble opinion, the prince of Lingnan is still a loser." Uncle Lin said categorically.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lin Shuhan was silent for a moment, sorted out his thoughts slightly, and continued: "Although there are manpower to deflect the major events in the world, the way of heaven is vast, and it cannot be easily reversed. Lin had discussed the time, place, and people with the adults before, but now, even if the imperial court loses Jinling City, these three are still on the emperor's side, and the king of Lingnan wants to reverse, how easy is it to talk about? ”

Hearing Lin Shuhan say this, Qiu Yizhi remembered that Lin Shuhan had analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Emperor Zheng Rong and Lingnan King Zheng Gui with him, and finally came to the conclusion that the imperial court would be able to successfully quell the rebellion. At that time, Lin Shuhan's words strengthened Qiu Yizhi's confidence in resisting the enemy, and made him make a lot of noise in Jiangnan Province.

I heard Lin Shuhan continue: "These three have already been said by Lin, so I won't repeat them...... Now that the Lord of Lingnan has achieved a confrontation with the emperor, don't think that Lin Mou was wrong at the beginning, I think that the failure of the King of Lingnan is just a matter of time. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, his whole body was shocked, and his spirit was lifted, and he said: "Now that the king of Lingnan is in full swing, I am afraid that the people in the world are already panicking, how can Mr. Lin make such a judgment?" ”

"The battle line is too long, there are too few talents, and the so-called virtue is not worthy, which is talking about people like King Lingnan." Lin Shuhan said.

Qiu Yi thought: What kind of person is the King of Lingnan, his status is incomparably noble, second only to Emperor Zheng Rong; Wenzhi can govern a barbarian Lingnan Road submissively; Martial arts can occupy half of the country in less than half a year. Such a person, in Lin Shuhan's mouth, only got a comment of "virtue is not worthy".

This made Qiu Yizhi a little puzzled, and looked at Lin Shuhan sitting beside him with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Shuhan seemed to have guessed Qiu Yizhi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The King of Lingnan can be called a master of war and administration, but this 'man master' is also a 'person', and there is still a difference between the true dragon and the son of heaven who is the supreme of the Ninety-Five. Not to mention anything else, it depends on the Lingnan King's subordinates, how many talents can there be? In terms of leading the army to fight, there is not even a handsome person who can take charge of himself, and the king of Lingnan must do everything himself, otherwise he will be defeated. And what about the emperor's side? Cui Nan and Wei Hu don't talk about him, the three princes alone can be called the dragon and phoenix among the people, and there is still a 'number one general in the country' Dai Luanxiang who has not moved. To have these talents to help each other and surrender wholeheartedly, that is the posture of Fengtian carrier, like the King of Lingnan, is just a hegemon, and cannot achieve any great cause. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to Lin Shuhan finish his words, and felt that what he said did have some truth, although Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, was powerful, but there was still a lot of distance from Emperor Zheng Rong in all aspects.

However, in the past year, he has suffered several losses from the King of Lingnan, and they are all big losses, and he has no reason, no qualifications, and no face to echo Lin Shuhan's assertions, so he only smiled bitterly and said: "If I didn't know that Mr. Lin is eloquent and strategic, otherwise ordinary people would still think that Mr. Lin is blowing a conch when they hear it." Sir, you see, haven't I been cornered by a 'one-party overlord' like the King of Lingnan, who is not worthy of virtue? ”

When Lin Shuhan heard this, he thought that Qiu Yizhi was questioning his judgment, so he was a little moved, raised his voice and said: "To achieve great things, although you have to do your best, you must also obey the destiny of heaven." How many heroes in the world are there, and I don't know how many die before they get out of school. Take adults as an example, among the people Lin Mou has seen in his life, his literary talent, martial arts strategy, character, and mind are all the first, and he doesn't know how much better he is than the prince of Lingnan......"

Qiu Yizhi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly whispered: "Mr. Lin can't talk nonsense, spread it, or should I be disobedient......

"Now that your and my lives are only in the slightest, what else is there to be afraid of?" Lin Shuhan replied, "With the talents of adults, and the help of Zhao Chengxiao, Yu Chi Lianghong's father and daughter, Tianzun Sect Master Wen Lingjiao, and Lin Mou and others, if you are in troubled times, you will definitely be able to make great achievements." It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and he would die in such a place at a young age, which shows that the destiny of heaven is difficult to violate......"
