Chapter 159: When the People Are Gone, the Tea Cools Quickly (Part II)
She hugged Ji Rus, and the most sincere smile appeared on her face after a long time.
"I want this too, so I chose to leave Beitang, but I'm different from you, I have a longing."
"Are you still going to wait for him to come back?" Ji Ru raised his head and asked.
"That's right." On Li Xiyun's alluring face, there was a trace of perseverance.
"What if he never comes back, you are old, not beautiful, gray-haired, unable to walk, and have unsightly skin, and he doesn't come back?"
"Then I'll keep waiting."
So, silence.
……
……
On April 23 of the first year of Kaiyuan in the Northern Tang Dynasty, Her Royal Highness Ji Ru, the little princess of Southern Wu, left Jinling with all the Yanyu Palace guards and Yanyu Palace maids, and disappeared.
On the day of parting, Her Royal Highness Princess Guangle of the Northern Tang Dynasty stood at the head of the city, watching the team leave Jinling, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of sadness.
This trip is long and long, separated by the ups and downs of the world, the rise and fall of great powers, and perhaps never seen again.
Life is a journey, you will meet many fellow travelers, but in the end, they will part ways with you at some point in your life.
The iron-clad carriage was long away, Ji Ruyi's white palace skirt was swaggering, she ignored the obstruction of the palace guards and palace maids around her, insisted on sitting on the roof of the carriage, and kept shaking her hand at the beauty at the head of the city, tears blurring her eyes.
Li Xiyun on the head of the city has wide sleeves fluttering, the hundred flowers on it are so beautiful, she is also constantly shaking her hands, and her pretty face is a quiet smile like a summer flower.
"Farewell, my little princess, I love you, Ann."
She said softly.
The sad people in the city are not only her, but also Jin Caiyan, Guan Xianyun, some young people in the second mansion of Jinguan and the major mansions, as well as the city guards, are all bidding farewell to her with sadness.
There were also troops stationed outside the city.
A team of heavy cavalry of the Hunan army in heavy armor silently escorted her to show her last respect and affection.
Ji Ru decided to go to a distant place, I don't know where it was, and at the same time, there was a thought of the former glory of Da Wu in her heart, and they were ready to imprint that pitiful petite figure into the depths of their hearts, no matter where she was.
Known as the first person of the young generation in Southern Wu, but in vain Lin'an Gongjin, he quietly looked at her in a white dress on the carriage, but there was not much carelessness and faint smile on his face, but he was frowning and pondering something.
No one knows what kind of ideas he is brewing, or how they will affect the course of history.
What is surprising is that His Royal Highness Ji Ruhai, the crown prince of Southern Wu, did not say goodbye outside the city, perhaps because they had already talked enough between their brothers and sisters in the palace.
He sat in the Drunken Wind Building, looking at the Drunken Wind Building, which used to be full of guests, today there was only him and the four guards with knives around him, especially the tea drinker, he was alone.
He looked at the precious tea in front of him, and there was an indescribable sadness in his eyes.
"When the people are gone, the tea cools quickly."
He said.
……
……
Five days before Her Royal Highness the little princess of Nanwu, Ji Ru left Jinling.
The weather has rarely become cloudy and no longer so warm, probably because the wind from afar has brought the breath there.
The warships covered the sun, and the sailors of the Southern Wu and Northern Tang gathered together.
After a three-day truce, it looks like a new water war will break out again.
Zhou Ye, the commander of the Southern Wu Naval Division, stood on the big ship and looked at the north from afar.
The strategist beside him frowned and said, "The Northern Tang Dynasty has been truceing for three days, and everything must be careful about what preparations have been made. ”
Zhou Ye nodded and said: "Water warfare ability, the Northern Tang Dynasty is far behind us, for this, I am very confident, the previous Northern Tang Dynasty was invincible, which had a great impact on our morale, and now there are our sailors in front of Jinling, they are deflated one after another, as long as they can keep holding them back, the Northern Tang army is stagnant and has lost its sharpness, and when all kinds of difficulties appear, it will surely retreat, so that the time for our Great Wu to regain the lost territory has arrived." ”
"The people of the Northern Tang Dynasty are also very clear about this, I am afraid that in the past three days, they have thought of some shady conspiracy and tricks, and they must be guarded against."
The strategist smiled: "The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, but in other words, General Zhou is scolding me for fighting wars, and likes to give you intrigues and bad ideas?" ”
Zhou Ye was also amused by him, but he also understood what the business was, and interrupted: "Don't talk about this, what kind of 'conspiracy' do you think the Northern Tang Dynasty will take?" ”
The strategist frowned, probably lost in thought.
At the end, he said: "I'm afraid that there are some divine weapons in the Northern Tang Dynasty coming from afar, this is the first possibility, the equipment technology of the Northern Tang Dynasty is superior to our Great Wu, and there may be any equipment that can break our sailors." ”
"It's not a conspiracy." Zhou Ye shook his head and said, "No matter what kind of magic weapon he has, my Great Wu Sailor is not afraid!" ”
"There is another possibility...... "The strategist's expression became serious, and his voice became like a mutter, "they are ready to attack. ”
Zhou Ye's sword eyebrows raised: "Fire attack? ”
"Today's wind is coming from the northwest, and if we use extremely fast boats to carry out a fire attack, with our huge warships, I am afraid that it will be ......."
"I can't avoid it!" The strategist's face changed slightly.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" The surface of the surrounding leaves is dark and cold.
"What's the use of saying it early or late? Our sailors blocked here, and the Northern Tang Dynasty didn't dare to make a mistake, and with the power of our sailors, they didn't have the confidence to destroy their water power, so it was because they avoided their fire attack and avoided making way, so that they could land in Jinling? ”
Zhou Ye sighed: "In this way, the only way to welcome them is to fight bloodily, no matter what method they use, then come, we will follow together!" ”
As he spoke, he saw that in the north, taking advantage of the wind, dense boats were surging with fire waves.
"Sure enough, you said it," Zhou Ye patted the strategist on the shoulder, and then his voice was calm and high-pitched, "Pass my order, try to avoid its edge, reduce losses, and wait until the Northern Tang Dynasty warship appears, and then gather strength to let them understand it!" ”
……
……
The strategist slightly expected that the Northern Tang might use fire attacks, and Zhou Ye was not afraid of the Northern Tang using fire attacks, but the sailors below were not necessarily calm.
No matter how powerful their sailors were, they would definitely not easily dodge in the face of such a dense boat with fire and charge.
The original self-confidence was disrupted, the sailors began to panic, they originally relied on the huge warship to be proud of the world, even if there was another Northern Tang they also had the confidence to fight to the death, but now this kind of large and sophisticated has become a disadvantage, in the face of the sea of fire that came downwind, they began to be angry at the bulkiness of the warship.
"Hurry, hurry! This big guy is really an ant when he acts! ”
The sailors shouted angrily.
