"How do we die together?" Duan Baoshan asked.

The two palace maids shook their heads, time was tight and the situation was dangerous, and they couldn't lurk in front of them, relying on some words revealed in each other's chaotic conversations, this was all they could grasp.

Thinking that there were no warships at the ferry, Duan Baoshan's heart became more and more uneasy.

She gritted her teeth tightly, turned around and asked the man on the boat, "Is the Dongyi trying to sneak attack the town customs?" ”

The man's subordinates kept working, glanced at Duan Baoshan, and nodded: "If the news they received before is correct, they really want to storm the town customs." ”

Hearing this, Duan Baoshan's heart tangled, and the next moment she put it down.

I have already received the news before, that is, the army can be prepared.

The town customs will not be caught off guard, which is already good news.

She poked her head out and asked, "Which general guards the town customs?" Is there still plenty of troops? ”

This time, the man paused, was silent for a moment, and replied, "Cheng Guogong." ”

Duan Baoshan's head buzzed.

The heart that had just fallen was all lifted again, her eyes widened, her lips curled, she didn't speak, she didn't know where to say.

The corners of the lips are full of saltiness.

In the past few days, she was so nervous that she couldn't care about it, even if she turned out of the royal city, scratched her arm, and even took off the bottom of her shoes, she didn't shed tears.

But such an answer lifted up all her suppressed emotions.

It's still not fear, it's heartache.

As a daughter, she knows her father's body best, and her father, who has been unarmoured for so many years, is holding a long knife and resurrecting it, isn't it still her?

At her age, her body bones are not as soft as those of young children, and it is very painful to learn flower boxing and embroidery legs with her grandmothers.

Her father's old bones, which were full of old wounds, started all over again, and practiced real battlefield fighting, which was hundreds of thousands of times more difficult than her.

Even if it was for her father, she had to survive and set foot on the town customs alive.

As for the Dongyiren attacking the pass, Duan Baoshan has confidence in Cheng Guogong, and he will definitely be able to prevent it.

The waves crashed against the side of the boat, and the fishing boat was swayed by the wind.

The man taught a stout mama to take the helm, and he himself always adjusted the sails according to the direction of the wind.

The fire on the shore was getting farther and farther away from them, and the sky was getting brighter, and the man's features, obscured by the cloak and the night, became clearer.

The grandmother who was dozing off on the side stared at him, and only felt that this person was a little kind, but he couldn't recall it after thinking about it.

The man also noticed Mama's gaze, but he didn't dodge it, and generously let Mama see it.

Mama adds and subtracts in her heart, removes the scar on her chin, and looks at people younger or older......

There seems to be a face in the depths of my memory.

She slapped her thigh: "Is this brother's surname Zhou?" The deceased Marquis of Yongding is ......"

After entering the palace for many years, she had seen the last Yongding Marquis when she was young, and she had good eyesight, so she would remember a little after a few decades.

The young man in front of him, his facial features, especially his eyes, have a slight shadow of the elderly Yongdinghou.

And when the other party came looking for him at night, he also spoke Yecheng dialect.

Mama could only understand a few words, but she could distinguish the accent.

The man smiled at her, but didn't answer.

Seeing this, Mama didn't ask any more questions, and she had already decided in her heart.

Since the death of Yongding Hou, the Zhou family has stayed away from officialdom, and they have not heard of their children in the past few years.

Even so, she didn't need to ask questions.

Zhangfan is indeed the fifth master.

When the army went out, he also went to sea, but instead of following the soldiers to land and attack, he changed to a sampan and went to the king's city.

Although some arrangements have been made for Duan Baoshan, things can change at any time, and it is better to be close to each other.

At the same time, he has other things to do.

Those lords and factions before the war naturally fought hard after the war, if the war situation was favorable to the Dongyi people, everything was easy to say, but the Dongyi was beaten and weak, how could there be no resentment in the hearts of this group of people?

They will not make concessions to the imperial court, but they will question and resent the king and prince of Dongyi who are bent on fighting.

What Lord Friday wants to do is to make these flames of resentment burn even stronger.

It's just that he didn't expect that this fire would burn so strongly.

From the expected division to internal strife, the prince insisted on sending troops from the rear to attack the town customs, even if it was completely lost, he would die with the defenders of the pass, and the king of Dongyi was assassinated by the opposition faction who rushed to hear the news, and the entire royal city was reduced to a sea of fire......

When the news of the death of the king of the East spread, the soldiers will inevitably be in turmoil, as long as the town customs guard against the surprise attack and catch the prince, the dragon of the East will be leaderless, and the victory of the court will be at hand.

Moreover, Duan Baoshan escaped from the royal city with his own people, so the situation was smooth.

It was already completely dawn.

There was fog off the coast, the sun did not rise, and the fog did not dissipate until near noon.

The most important thing to be careful at the border is late at night, but because of the weather on the beach, no one will relax their vigilance even during the day.

Cheng Guogong has received the news that the Dongyi people plan to sneak attack.

In addition to the officers and soldiers who watched, he himself climbed the city wall every half an hour and looked at it for a quarter of an hour.

The lieutenant general on the side had a tense face, very serious, but kept muttering about when the sun would come out and when the fog would dissipate.

The sea breeze was blowing the flags, and Cheng Guogong was about to go down the city tower, when he suddenly saw a few soldiers pointing to the distance and muttering, he quickly turned his steps and went over.

"There, there, is there a ship?"

It was so far away that even an experienced soldier would not dare to assert it.

Cheng Guogong strode to the side of the city wall, his hands propped up, and his eyes widened.

A few small ideas, or even whether they are ideas or not, are not sure for sure.

His eyesight was not as good as that of a young man, so he could only beckon everyone to look at it.

In a quarter of an hour, the clouds parted a crack, and the golden sun fell on the surface of the sea.

At the same time, the ideas became clearer, and they were warships.

Cheng Guogong's eyes were red, his palm slapped heavily on the city wall, and said: "They are here, ready to fight, one point is to make these grandsons come and go!" ”

Su Ningbo had very few boats left for the town customs, and they had no advantage in fighting on the water.

Chengguo asked the soldiers to pretend not to know, induce the enemy to land, and fight a land battle with the Dongyiren.

The fleet of Dongyi advanced cautiously when it was far away, and once it was determined that the distance was close and the track was exposed, it immediately accelerated and rushed straight away, not giving the defenders extra time to react.

And in fact, on the towering city wall, after the pass, Chengguo Gong led the troops to wait for them.

The battle broke out suddenly, and Cheng Guogong replaced the attack with defense, knowing that most of the enemy troops had landed ashore, so he turned on the defensive and rushed out with his troops.

Cheng Guogong had never seen the prince of Dongyi, only a portrait, and he brandished a long knife while looking for the figure of the other party in the warring crowd.

He slashed several people in quick succession, and when he caught a glimpse of a similar figure, he immediately rushed forward.
