Chapter 123 See through but don't say it

In the same summer, the hearts of people in South Vietnam were also fluctuating, and even the ordinary old fishermen on the seashore felt the restlessness of the atmosphere.

An old man with a gray beard wears a bamboo hat on his head and holds a dry tobacco pipe in his hand, and he swallows clouds and fog with a click.

The dark face that was cracked by the sea breeze was full of sorrow.

"Ah Qi, let me tell you, our old monarch must be sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time."

On the side of the ship, Li Er, who was alias Ah Qi, was startled and looked at him in surprise.

"Uncle Yuan, you can't talk nonsense, be careful if you are heard, but it is a capital crime."

The old man named Yuan Bo laughed, "What are you afraid of, we are now in the middle of the sea, are you still afraid that those shrimp soldiers and crabs will go to sue and fail?" ”

Li Er also smiled innocently, "Then how do you know this, the nobles in the capital don't necessarily know." ”

"Let me tell you a secret, I have helped the Jin family catch fish all my life, their family is an imperial businessman, and His Majesty's favorite clams have not been given away recently."

Hearing this, Li Er's heart moved, and he asked pretending to be puzzled.

"What's so strange about this, maybe Your Majesty has changed the taste."

Yuan Bo knocked the dry tobacco pipe in his hand and glanced at him proudly.

"What do you know, Your Majesty has been good for a lifetime, how can you change it when you are old, unless...... I can't eat it. ”

He smiled mysteriously at him, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see." ”

Li Er remembered the recent sudden increase in the capital inspection, and the inspection of people coming and going was very strict, and even required a guarantor to enter the city.

But nothing major happened on the surface, and Emperor Yue himself rarely appeared in front of people, so there was no way to know if he was really sick.

However, as long as there is a direction, there are always clues, just like now, poor fishermen who are obviously unrelated can guess the answer through the details.

"Uncle Yuan, thank you for driving me across the sea, and I'll ask you for help next time."

Seeing that he had reached the shore, Li Er threw down more than a dozen mosquito money and left in a hurry.

Yuan Bo looked at his straight back and smiled meaningfully.

When he is old, he can't see through some things, just make money, and care so much about him.

Three days later, Li Er returned, this time with a person, who was obviously injured and pale.

But there was uncontrollable excitement between the looks of the two.

"Uncle Yuan, double the boat money, and cross the sea immediately."

The old man looked at the sky, it was almost dark, and the wind and waves were a little anxious tonight.

However, others dare not go to sea, but he, a person who has dealt with the sea all his life, is not afraid at all.

Slowly spitting out the smoke, the old man smiled slyly and spit out two words calmly, "Ten times." ”

Li Er was stunned for a moment, and looked at him fixedly, "Okay, ten times is ten times." ”

At first glance, it looked ordinary, but the old man felt a hidden killing intent from inside.

But he didn't care.

When the boat reached the middle of the sea, Yuan Bo suddenly stopped the oar in his hand and put one hand into his arms.

Li Er and Chen Dachang were both startled and looked at him vigilantly.

Although they all know water, the wind and waves are so strong that there is still no absolute certainty of escape.

Looking at their actions, Yuan Bo smiled, spread out his palm, and a tattered waist card appeared in front of them.

"It's ......"

Li Er raised his head in surprise, "Back then, Ding Nan Hou's personal soldiers waist card. ”

His tone was affirmative, without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes, my name is Li Yuancai, and I have been the general of Dingnanhou since my grandfather......"

The old man's voice was choked, and the founding father Dingnan waited for the Jiang family, and it was no longer in this generation.

Because of an isolated war, a family of four fathers and sons was wiped out, and the remaining side clans were also cut off under the pretext of being defeated.

There are secretly rumors that the first emperor deliberately betrayed him in order to take back his military power. happy

Forty years ago, the same tragedy as four years ago, left them speechless.

"Old man, you've worked hard."

Even if Li Yuancai did it to them at this time, he could understand psychologically, after all, he had a reason to be angry.

"When the Hou Ye was still alive, he often told us that as officers and soldiers, he was protecting his own home and defending his country, and it had nothing to do with the faint king."

These words can be regarded as speaking to Li Er's hearts, and they really empathize.

"After staying in a foreign country for 40 years, I can still do something for Daliang when I am old, and it is not in vain."

The old man had tears in his eyes, but his tone was extremely proud.

Only then did Li Er know that the words that seemed unintentional a few days ago were actually intentional.

And he followed this line of thought, and he did make a big discovery, and at this time he was in a hurry to go back and deliver the letter.

"In the future, when you come and go between the two places, just look for me, and never refuse."

That's the purpose of his identity, and he doesn't want them to reveal their whereabouts for various reasons.

"Okay, I'll be looking for you."

In this situation, Li Er really couldn't say anything other than agree.

"Two strong men, sit firm."

Li Yuancai looked up to the sky and roared, and after a lifetime, he was finally able to be heroic.

With a bare bronze back and two oars in his hands, he rode the wind and waves in the dark sea......

At dawn, Xing Gaoxi, the commander of the Yuezhou Army, suddenly woke up from his dream and held the sword next to his pillow with his backhand.

"Who is it?" ”

However, there was only silence when he answered, and the guards on night duty outside poured in.

Under the light, a letter was stuck in a dart on the bedside post.

Wang Sanfu, a personal soldier, carefully pulled it out, took a quick look, and his face changed slightly.

hurriedly spread it out on his hand and handed it to Xing Shuai.

Xing Gaoxi's face also became solemn, and at this time, the guards in charge of the search all came back and found nothing.

"Someone, please come over to the house."

Not to mention how the Yuezhou army shook, here Li Er relied on his familiarity with the terrain and sneaked into the Shuai's mansion overnight to deliver a letter.

Although he was reasonable, he was still not sure whether Xing Shuai would choose to believe it.

After all, this way of sending letters is too vigilant.

But as long as he can improve his precautions, their efforts will not be in vain.

With a tired body, he came to the Li family trading house in Yuezhou City, and at this time the sky was slightly bright, and Su Fu had not yet gotten up.

looked at Li Er, who entered directly through the window, with a look of accustomedness.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

However, she immediately sensed the difference from the strange atmosphere around Li Erzhou.

"Emperor Yue is critically ill and wants to raid Daliang before he dies, and the whole army is pressing, regardless of the cost."

Sof's drowsiness immediately frightened away, and she sat up at once, and exclaimed in surprise.

"He's crazy."

Li Er smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yes, he is just crazy, if he doesn't defeat Da Liang, he won't be blind to death." ”

Hearing his words, Su Fu finally calmed down, frowned and asked, "Do you have conclusive evidence?" ”

"What if there is? Xing Gaoxi will not believe it easily. ”

Li Er sat down tiredly, picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it all.

"I just hope that he can trust two points and improve his defense in time, at least he won't be caught off guard."

Su Fu was also speechless, as the commander of the border army, Xing Gaoxi had always been too cautious.

I couldn't help but sigh slightly, "I hope so." ”
