Chapter Forty-Seven: Enemies on the Belly and Back
Parry? Why should you avoid it?
Zhao Min looked at the deputy general whose face changed greatly, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, with the size of the opponent's warship, even if it really collided, it would not be able to shake the huge Mongolian warship at all, as long as he guarded the side of the ship and did not let the other party have the opportunity to engage in the battle, there was basically no suspense in this battle, but Zhao Min did not interject, for naval warfare, she was not proficient like Li Xuan, and her recognition was zero, so she handed over the command of the battle to this general who was proficient in naval warfare at the beginning.
"Boom~"
The surrounding ships once again launched an offensive against Li Xuan's warship, looking at the vice general's miserable face, Zhao Min's expression moved, and when he thought of something, his face also changed greatly.
"Left full rudder, sail!" Xiao Zhao's crisp shouts reached everyone's ears very clearly on the noisy sea, and the helmsman who operated the ship did not dare to hesitate at all, at this time, even the slightest mistake could bring them ruin.
The small warship almost crossed a perfect U-shaped course against Zhao Min's battleship, grazing the hull and gliding through the gap between the two giant warships, just in response to the proverb, the ship is small and easy to turn around!
"Boom~"
More than a dozen cannonballs bombarded the nearby water, and even a few of them bombarded into the Mongolian warships, Xiao Zhao took the opportunity to command everyone to sail out by the waves stirred up by the cannonballs, and the small warships flew through the gaps between the two Mongolian warships like arrows from the string, and jumped into the vast sea with a cloud of smoke, and the Mongolian warships led by Zhao Min, although the ships were strong and the guns were sharp, but the huge size made them unable to change the formation in time, and when the formation was rearranged, the small warships of Li Xuan and his party had disappeared.
"County Lord, the last general's command is unfavorable, please punish the county lord." The deputy general looked at Zhao Min worriedly, although he was afraid of punishment, but if he tried to escape, he would usher in stricter consequences, and he could only helplessly ask for guilt.
"I can't blame Inspector Liu for this matter, I only blame that Li Xuan is too cunning." Zhao Min waved his hand, a little irritable in his heart, but a kind smile appeared on his face, and he said with relief.
"Lord Xie, the last general will give the order to continue the pursuit, and this time the traitors will be destroyed and killed." Inspector Liu's heart was relieved, and he immediately asked for his life.
"No need." Zhao Min suppressed his irritability and said with a smile: "Inspector Liu is responsible for patrolling the sea, how can you leave lightly, rest assured, there are already people waiting for them ahead." After speaking, he said to the second elder Xuanming: "Sound the arrows and inform the Persians that it is time for them to make a move this time." ”
However, Zhao Min has a deep doubt in his heart about whether the Persians can deal with Li Xuan, although there are many masters in those people and their martial arts are unfathomable, but the naval battle not only limits Li Xuan's personal strength, but also limits his own master ability, if it is at the beginning, Zhao Min is not too worried, the Persians came from afar, and the navigation skills are naturally first-class, and bullying a group of landlubbers at sea is naturally easy to catch, but Li Xuan also seems to have a not weak sailing expert on the ship, so The gap between the two sides is not as stark as it once was.
The understanding of the Persians is more about their strange and unpredictable martial arts, as for the art of war? The time is too short, Zhao Min has not been exquisite, but even if it is powerful, in Zhao Min's heart, it may not be comparable to the man who makes her hate and have some admiration, it is a storage zài who can disturb a dynasty between turning hands, a group of Western barbarians, even if the martial arts are a little weird, but they are just a group of reckless people.
If this idea is said, I am afraid that it will be ridiculed, after all, the Mongols are just a group of barbarians in the eyes of most Han people, but the Mongols have ruled the Central Plains for a hundred years, and Zhao Min has been influenced by the Central Plains culture for a long time, and he usually can't see it, but when a third race is inserted, he will unconsciously put his position in the same camp as the Han people, and finally, there is a preliminary conclusion in his heart, these Persian barbarians, available but not credible.
Thinking of this, Zhao Min immediately turned back to Inspector Liu and said, "Please Inspector Liu prepare a warship for us, a small one is good." ”
If the Persians can solve Li Xuan and his party at sea, although it is not the best result for Zhao Min himself, but for the entire Great Yuan Dynasty, it is a good thing, not only to solve Li Xuan's big trouble, but also to spread the news through guò, and transfer the hatred of Mingjiao to the Persians.
It is not Zhao Min's style to leave the fate of the country to the illusory providence, so she decided to go there herself and work hard to facilitate this situation.
"This ...... The last will go and arrange it immediately. "Inspector Liu is a little embarrassed, Zhao Min is a golden branch and jade leaf after all, once there is damage, he can't afford it, but looking at Zhao Min's firm eyes, Inspector Liu knows that persuasion is impossible, so he can only agree, but while preparing the warship, he secretly sent someone to contact Wang Baobao stationed in Qingzhou, this matter is no longer his identity can be asked, as for Zhao Min's secrecy, Inspector Liu has never thought that although he is now obeying Zhao Min's orders, he is not loyal to Zhao Min, or even to the Ruyang Palace, Naturally, there was no need to keep it secret for her, and Zhao Min had not asked for this.
Soon, a ship about the same size as the small boat Li Xuan was riding on broke away from the fleet and headed all the way in the direction where Li Xuan and the others had left.
……
"Sect Master, I just saw the arrows shot by the Mongols, what tricks is Zhao Min's girl playing?" On the warship, Zhou Dian came to Li Xuan with a pale face, and said weakly.
is not very proficient in water, if the road is smooth, with the cultivation of Zhou Dian and others, it will not be anything, but the violent turbulence caused by the previous naval battle, the masters on the ship, except for Li Xuan, Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo, who lived on the bank of the Han River when he was a child, Wusanren and Wu Qingying all had different seasickness, which made Li Xuan a little speechless.
"I didn't see any traces of the Persians in Zhao Min's fleet just now, and the next thing to face should be the Persians." Looking at the tattered warship smashed by the cannonballs, Li Xuan was a little worried, this ship could no longer withstand the slightest turbulence, not to mention being hit as fiercely as before, in the current state, it was a question whether it could sail to the nearby islands.
But the matter has come to this point, there is no choice, if you turn back at this time, you will have to face the double attack of the Mongol warships and the Persians, Li Xuan's skill at this moment immediately increased tenfold, in this vast sea, in the face of the attack of both sides, there is only one way to take this boatload of people to die in the sea, so no matter what kind of unpredictable danger ahead, Li Xuan can only go on now.
"Persian Mingjiao?" Zhou Dian and others heard this, couldn't help but be silent for a while, strictly speaking, the Central Plains Mingjiao is the rudder of the Persian Mingjiao, but after a hundred years, the two sides have long been cut off, faintly, the Central Plains Mingjiao has become a family of its own, and even now many Mingjiao disciples do not know the existence of the Persian Mingjiao, and even if it weren't for the fact that Dai Qisi devoted herself to the Mingjiao as a saint and became the first apologetic king, among the high-level Mingjiao, there are not many people who know that the Persian general altar is in zài.
For a while, when they heard this name, they knew that they were very likely to be enemies of the other party, and everyone couldn't help but have a strange and awkward feeling in their hearts.
Regarding the subtle psychological changes of everyone, Li Xuan didn't say anything, and now he said it, just to let everyone have a psychological preparation, so as not to be caught off guard by the other party's bright identity and messed up.
"Xiao Zhao, how long will it take to get to Spirit Snake Island?" Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhaodao.
"According to the current itinerary, it will probably take three ......" had just experienced a naval battle with himself as the main force for the first time in his life, and his mind had not yet calmed down, and he replied subconsciously when he heard the words, but at the end, Xiao Zhao's voice suddenly froze, and there was a trace of panic, confusion and deep panic in his eyes when he looked at Li Xuan.
"Three hours?" Li Xuan smiled slightly, looked at Xiao Zhao with a panicked face, and sighed slightly: "The purple-shirted Dragon King has been living in the rivers and lakes all these years, and his pseudonym is Jinhua Mother-in-law, in fact, it is not a secret in the Ming Sect, but for your identity, I have only recently learned that in the past, right and wrong, I think that since everyone has chosen to acquiesce, I am afraid that they have not thought of pursuing it, and now that the Purple Shirt Dragon King was killed, it is a matter of the dignity of my Mingjiao, but we big men can't let you let a little girl bear this burden alone." ”
"Childe doesn't blame Xiao Zhao?" Xiao Zhao felt that his eyes were a little sour, looked at Li Xuan's encouraging eyes, and asked in a trembling voice.
"Master, what are you talking about? Why do I get more confused the more I listen? Zhou Dian shook his head, looked at Li Xuan in puzzlement, and then looked at Xiao Zhao, and said with a puzzled expression.
"Xiao Zhao, come here." Li Xuan beckoned, summoned Xiao Zhao to the front, stretched out his hand and naturally grabbed her fragrant shoulder, and said to Wusan: "Everyone must be familiar with the purple-shirted Dragon King." ”
"Naturally, the purple-shirted dragon king Dai Qisi was recognized as the first beauty in the world back then." A touch of nostalgia flashed in Zhou Dian's eyes, and he said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that I didn't know which style I smoked later, so many talented and heroic heroes of the Ming Sect were not selected, but the price was Han Qianye, who was not skilled in martial arts, and even broke up with everyone without panic, betraying the Ming Sect, and sighing for a long time when the Yang Sect Master was alive." ”
"Re-introduction, Xiao Zhao is the daughter of the purple-shirted dragon king Dai Qisi and Mr. Silver Leaf Han Qianye, Mr. Silver Leaf has passed away, no matter what everyone thinks of him, all kinds of the past have disappeared with his death, this time to go to sea, in addition to welcoming back the golden lion king Xie Xun, I am also ready to welcome back the purple shirt dragon king Dai Qisi together, reuniting the four major guardian kings of my Ming Sect in the past, I don't know if you have any objections?" Li Xuan looked at the Wusan people solemnly and said in a deep voice.
"Since the sect leader wants to welcome back the purple-shirted dragon king, I naturally have no opinion." Zhou Dian nodded, turned his eyes to look at Xiao Zhao and said in surprise: "I didn't think it before, but now that the sect leader says this, I think that Xiao Zhao's girl is really a little familiar, look at those eyes, except for the different colors, they are almost like the dragon king carved out of a mold." ”
"Does the sect leader know the whereabouts of the Purple Shirt Dragon King?" The cold-faced scholar, who had always been silent, had a flash of burning heat in his eyes at this moment, and there was a hint of urgency in his tone.
"Well, this is also the second thing I want to tell you, now the purple-shirted dragon king, I'm afraid it has fallen into the hands of the Persians, she was once a Persian Ming Sect saintess, and she must maintain a complete body for the rest of her life, but now she ......"
"What if it weren't for the perfect body?" Before Li Xuan finished speaking, the cold-faced scholar couldn't wait to ask.
"Even blasphemy will be tied to the stake and burned alive." Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Ridiculous, how can it be justified!" Not only Leng Qian, but the other Wusan people were also furious, although the purple-shirted dragon king betrayed the Ming Sect, but he never did anything that harmed the Ming Sect, the Ming Sect was in the same breath, and it was even more important to righteousness over life and death, and now I heard that the former Guardian Dharma King would be burned alive, no matter what the relationship with Dai Qisi was, but at this time it was born with the same hatred and hatred.
"Therefore, to welcome back the Purple Shirt Dragon King, there will be a battle between him and the Persian Ming Sect this time, and I hope you can work together with me." Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Obey the Lord's Command!"
