Zheng Gui quietly listened to Qiu Yizhi's words, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's not that the virtuous nephew refuses to help me?" Otherwise, the old man divided half of the army to the command of the virtuous nephew, how could there be such an undefeated defeat today? It's a pity that only the fat pig Zheng Yu is left now, and it seems that the Lingnan Royal Mansion will be like this from now on......"

When the two were talking, they saw a team of soldiers and horses hurrying to the dock from Jinling City, and the leader was Zheng Yu, the son of the "fat pig" in Zheng Gui's mouth.

It turned out that he heard the news that his father was captured, and knew that the Lingnan Mansion was without Zheng Gui, the old prince, as if he had been drained of the backbone, so he immediately ordered more than a thousand elite soldiers to come in from outside Jinling City and came to the front of Yanziji Wharf.

Zheng Yu saw that his father, Zheng Gui, was captured by Wei Chi Jiming, and knew how powerful this little girl was, so he shouted anxiously: "Qiu Yizhi, what are you doing as a thief?" Why don't you release my father quickly, do you want to do the following? A fat face swollen red.

Qiu Yizhi defeated Zheng Yu several times in person, which gave him a bit of a psychological advantage, and he felt funny when he saw his angry and corrupt appearance, and said, "Why does the second prince need to be like this? I am also a person who speaks of etiquette, and the prince is my elder, how can I be offended? As long as the second prince doesn't act rashly, then the prince will be fine. ”

Zheng Yu pursed his lips, thinking that the initiative of the current situation had been firmly held in Qiu Yizhi's hands, and if he wanted to save his father's life, whether it was a strong attack or a clever take, it was not a perfect strategy, and he had to wait for Qiu Yizhi's next move.

In fact, at this moment, as long as Lingnan King Zheng Gui comes forward in person and cites the past that he has spared Qiu Yizhi twice, and asks Qiu Yizhi to repay him for letting him go, then with Qiu Yizhi's character, most likely he will really let Zheng Gui go.

can be Zheng Gui's identity, personality, qualifications, and seniority, it is absolutely difficult for him to open this mouth and show this weakness. So he shouted at Zheng Yu: "Zheng Yu, you kid has never been angry all his life, and the old man has never looked down on you...... But today, if you have the ability to give the order and call the whole army to rush over, then I can afford to see you again before I die! ”

Zheng Yu still talked about filial piety in his heart, and when he heard this, his eyes moistened: "Father, if you kill you, won't you also be killed by this little thief of Qiu Yizhi?" This little thief is a goblin, it's not easy to deal with! ”

"Nonsense! If you don't kill him, will he be able to spare the old man? Don't talk too much, hurry up and order! Zheng Gui's tone was extremely resolute.

After all, Zheng Yu is a cowardly and short-breathed person, if he really gave the order for the whole army to attack as his father said, then in the eyes of these arrogant soldiers of the Lingnan Army, it is equivalent to directly ordering the killing of Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, then how can Zheng Yu still lead the Lingnan army? However, if his father was captured by Qiu Yizhi under his nose, it would also be an extremely unseemly thing......

Zheng Yu was forced into a dilemma by Qiu Yizhi again.

Qiu Yizhi didn't embarrass him for long.

I saw him whispering a few words in the ear of Yu Chi Jiming, who was restraining the King of Lingnan. Yu Chi Jiming nodded slightly, his left hand was slightly forced, and he pinched the back of Zheng Gui's neck, and the burly Zheng Gui seemed to have all his strength drained, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up, but heard Zheng Yu shouting anxiously: "What are you doing this little thief?" Don't hurt my father! ”

Qiu Yi asked the two soldiers with strong arms and strong physical strength to support the King of Lingnan, and replied to Zheng Yu: "Don't worry, the second prince, the prince is just sealing his bloodline for a while. The prince has such a fierce body, but it will recover in half a day. ”

Zheng Yu fell for Qiu Yizhi several times, how could he believe his words: "You are talking nonsense, return my father to me!" ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled and said, "Second Prince, what I said is true or false." Now the prince, whether he is dead or alive, is in my hands. If you still don't believe me, do you want me to stab the prince with a knife and see if his old man reacts, so that you can rest assured? ”

"No, no, never!" No matter how dull and stupid Zheng Yu is, he knows that he must not use this method to test the life and death of his father.

Qiu Yizhi didn't answer when he heard this, waved his hand to the ship, asked them to hang a big basket down, and carefully put Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan who had fainted, into the basket, waved his hand, and asked the sailors on the ship to slowly hang the basket onto the deck.

Zheng Yu watched his father being lifted higher and higher, but he didn't have any way, so he was in a hurry.

Seeing him so helpless, Qiu Yizhi smiled proudly: "Second prince, if you have nothing to do, then please go back, the prince is also an elder below, and he will definitely serve him well, and he will not be embarrassed." ”

Although Zheng Yu had no choice, he didn't want to go back like this, and suddenly someone whispered in his ear: "Second prince, you see that the prince is hanging in the air now, but he is not in the hands of the official army. Let's quickly cover up the past, maybe we can take the old prince back. ”

Zheng Yu raised his eyes and asked, "What if they cut the rope and throw their father down?" ”

The man said: "They still plan to take the old prince to repay the merits, how can they be willing to do such a thing?" What's more, now the old prince is more than a zhang high from the ground, and if he falls...... Even if it hurts the muscles and bones, it won't hurt your life. ”

Zheng Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly said, "Clever plan", and as he spoke, he ordered all his soldiers to immediately go forward to cover up the killing.

Qiu Yizhi didn't expect Zheng Yu to make a desperate bet, but Zhao Chengxiao reacted very quickly, and rushed forward without hesitation, relying on a three-foot-long Bohai treasure knife in his hand, and cut down the two Lingnan Army soldiers who were the first as soon as they fought.

The other sergeants under the command of Qiu Yizhi saw that Zhao Chengxiao, who was the leader, went to fight first, and they did not want to fall behind, so they raised their swords and fought with the soldiers of the Lingnan Army.

Now the Yanziji pier is lined up with corpses that were killed by bows and arrows before, and the debris from the artillery bombardment of the bluestone ground is also everywhere. Although the Lingnan army is outnumbered, such a terrain cannot be fully opened, and they can only squeeze each other and meet with the elite soldiers under the command of Qiu Yi.

These sergeants under Qiu Yizhi were originally fought with the Japanese with a knife and a gun, as if they were familiar with such a melee scene. In the face of these Lingnan soldiers whose martial arts and weapons were inferior to the Japanese soldiers, they took out the martial arts in the army passed down by Wei Chi Jiming himself, and gave full play to the advantage of the fast and long Japanese sword in their hands, but in the blink of an eye, they had killed and injured more than 100 opponents, and they did not lose a single person.

In such a battle situation, even the soldiers of the Lingnan Army, who were brave and fearless and wanted to save the king of Lingnan, were also killed, and the offensive came to a standstill for a while.

At this moment, Qiu Yizhi shouted: "Second prince, please take a break, if you press it tighter again, I will give an order to ask the archers on the deck to release arrows into the basket, and then the prince of Lingnan will be afraid that it will be more auspicious, right?" ”

Zheng Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "You...... Didn't you keep saying that you wouldn't harm my father? ”

"Childish!" Qiu Yi cursed secretly in her heart, but said in her mouth: "I didn't harm the prince!" As for whether the prince is dead or alive, it was all forced by you, the second prince, anyway, I have reached the time of life and death now, and I don't care about whether I can keep my promise or not. ”

In fact, Qiu Yizhi himself may not have the courage to order the king of Lingnan to be shot to death, but Zheng Yu is a stupid person, how can he guess his thoughts, so he had to order the soldiers under his command to retreat, and watched Qiu Yizhi calmly organize the team, and climbed up from the soft ladder on the side of the ship, calmly boarding the ship. Even his precious sweat-and-blood horse was pulled out and hoisted onto the boat with a few soft ropes.

Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan who had fainted on the ship, was carried out of the gondola by the sailors and laid flat on the deck. Some of these sailors are Japanese, some are Han but have long left the Central Plains, I don't know the noble status of this person, they all watch in twos and threes, and some people kick and stomp on Zheng Gui with their feet, wanting to know whether he is dead or alive......

Qiu Yizhi was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "You can't, you can't." He asked Zhao Chengxiao to select a few reliable and sensible soldiers, disperse all the onlookers, and protect the king of Lingnan.

At this time, Li Shengjie stepped forward and asked, "Brother, is this person the prince of Lingnan?" ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded: "This is the person." This is the most noble person in the world, except for the emperor, and I also ask the virtuous brother to choose a secluded and safe cabin, clean it, and please let the prince live in it temporarily. Then set sail immediately, I want to go north to the capital Luoyang! ”

After all, Li Shengjie had seen the world, and knew that the matter was big, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately made proper arrangements according to what Qiu Yi said, and then set sail and led the fleet to the north.

Li Shengjie originally planned to go east along the Yangtze River, go north through the canal, and then enter the Yellow River to reach Guannei Road. But now it is early spring, the water is scarce and the river is shallow, not to mention the Yellow River, and even the water depth of the Grand Canal is not enough for Li Shengjie to accompany him on a large sea ship like a ship.

So the fleet had to retreat from the canal and look for a wharf along the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Li Shengjie had his own sailors who were good at sailing, but after two days' work, he found a suitable dock in Yangzhou Mansion.

As soon as the ship dropped anchor and docked, I saw more than a hundred and a dozen soldiers surrounded by the wharf in the distance, all armed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and dressed in official uniforms, and their movements were also very agile.

Qiu Yizhi knew that they were the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, so he was not afraid, under the escort of Wei Chi Jiming, he led Zhao Chengxiao and seventeen personal soldiers, and Lin Shuhan calmly got off the boat, tidied up his clothes, and said to the officers and soldiers in front of him: "Who is the leader here?" I want to speak to him. ”

Seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing, the officers and soldiers did not dare to underestimate him, and after talking to each other, they finally walked out of an officer and said to Qiu Yizhi: "I am the leader, who are you?" What do you want with such a large fleet to dock without authorization? ”

In front of Qiu Yizhi, this officer is just a hundred households, and he is young, Xu is a newly recruited soldier and not from Lao Youyan Dao, so he doesn't know him, so he arched his hand and said: "This military master, under the order of Shanyin County, because there is a major military matter, it must be reported to the upper peak, and please report it." As he spoke, he handed over his name post.

Although the hundred households are not very old, the shelf is not small, and after asking a few slightly older soldiers around him, he said: "I said, isn't Shanyin County a county seat in the south of the Yangtze River?" Now that Jiangnan is in the hands of the Lingnan rebels, where did you come from? I think you're fine, right? ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that he was still quite alert, but he didn't move, and said: "Whether the lower official is meticulous or not, it is not clear between three words, it is better for you to go to your boss and ask, and you will understand." ”
