Li Yu gave Xiao Tao only half a month, and by the time Xiao Tao returned to Jinling, he had already been able to draw a single point of the defense of the naval army of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even the shape, size, thickness, and dots of each place are all drawn in detail.

The night before leaving, Xiao Tao put aside the original picture, and with his memory, he drew the defense picture smoothly without stumbling. After finishing the painting, he looked at Qi Zhengxiu's bright eyes: "Childe." Am I right? ”

Qi Zhengxiu smiled with a smile in his eyes: "Not a single point off." "Let's take out the original picture from my sleeve. Thrown into the charcoal brazier, "I won't need this again." Let it turn to dust. It's safer than staying anywhere. ”

Watching the defense map turn into ashes in the brazier, Xiao Tao still trembled slightly in her heart. Qi Zhengxiu's mind is meticulous and thorough, always scheming in every possible way, and refusing to make a little omission. This is a picture of the defense of the Tang Dynasty, and he does not want to leave a little danger of falling into the hands of others after all. Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu and asked a little unconfidently: "Now Datang knows that the naval army is deployed, except for Gongzi, I am the only one left." Childe, can you trust me? As soon as the words came out, I felt that what I said was inappropriate. I don't know about arming, I just know the graphics, but I don't know the meaning of the graphics.

Qi Zhengxiu held his hands, looked at Xiao Tao quietly, and smiled slightly: "I know you." It's been seventeen years. Is it short? ”

Xiao Tao also smiled, and there was a rare trace of warmth in her heart.

Kaifeng, Li Congshan waited for many days and didn't wait for He Zhitang, so he couldn't help but be anxious. Let his subordinates go down to investigate, but now his subordinates are all Song people who were rewarded to him by Zhao Kuangyin. There are few that can make a move. It really couldn't, Li Congshan spent some more money to find a way to see Zhao Guangyi. Now Zhao Guangyi is the leader of the court, if he can help push it, he can stay stable in the Great Song Dynasty.

When Li Congshan saw Zhao Guangyi, it was night, and Zhao Guangyi was pouring himself wine in the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion. Seeing Li Congshan come in, he hooked his lips and smiled coldly: "It turned out to be King Zheng." Sit down for a drink. As he spoke, the maid brought another wine glass and placed it on the opposite side of the table.

Li Congshan sat down a little apprehensively, looked at Zhao Guangyi and barely squeezed out a smile: "King Jin is really a good amount of wine, and he can relieve his sorrows by himself." ”

Zhao Guangyi lost his mind and said: "A thousand sorrows? I don't have a thousand sorrows, I only have one sorrow. ”

"That's," Li Congshan couldn't help asking.

Zhao Guangyi waved his hand and stared at Li Congshan like a torch: "King Zheng, oh, no, now you are my Great Song Dynasty's Jiedu envoy, and the Jiedu envoy came to this king, didn't you want to listen to this king's worries?" It's okay to be outspoken. ”

Li Congshan respectfully hugged his fists and said: "It's still the same thing I mentioned to King Jin last time, when I was in Tang Land in the past, I drew some important confidential drawings, and now that I have received the favor of Your Majesty, I always want to repay Li and serve Your Majesty." After a pause, he approached Zhao Guangyi and said, "I have sent someone to bring the drawings, I heard that I have arrived in the Song Land, but I don't know why I haven't come here yet." ”

"Oh? Confidential drawings? Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly, drank all the wine in the cup, and sneered twice, laughing so hard that Li Congshan's heart was furious. Zhao Guangyi didn't speak and sneered, which was bigger than Zhao Kuangyin's aura.

After a while, Zhao Guangyi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and fell in front of Li Congshan, "That's what you said about this drawing?!" ”

Li Congshan was startled, hurriedly picked up the drawings from the table, looked at the candles, and his head was confused. That drawing was originally secretly drawn by him in the name of visiting, and no one dared to obstruct him by relying on his status as King Zheng. Although he didn't draw it himself, he had seen it many times. It's just that the graphics are complicated, and it is impossible for him to remember them all after all. But he still knows a thing or two about several big places, and Li Congshan couldn't help but say: "Why is there something wrong with this picture?" ”

"You don't think something is right, do you?" Zhao Guangyi pulled the drawings from Li Congshan's hand, slapped them on the table, pointed to one place and said, "Wankou, it is the heavy deployment of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there is only one water project marked here, thousands of soldiers and horses, who are you fooling?" Who?! He pointed to another place, "Runzhou, the important town where Qi Zhengxiu is stationed, don't forget that he killed and injured countless of my Great Song naval army in Baigu Gorge here, and there is no water project here?" Did the naval army of the Southern Tang Dynasty fall from the sky on that foggy night?! ”

After that, he looked at Li Congshan and sneered: "Tell me, are you Tang people going to fight, or are we Song people stupid?" ”

Li Congshan couldn't speak clearly, looking at Zhao Guangyi's six gods without masters, he picked up the defense map and looked at it carefully, and said in a panic: "This picture, this picture must be fake, where did this picture of King Jin come from?" ”

"From He Zhitang, a famous prostitute in Jiangnan." Zhao Guangyi hooked his lips and smiled, "Is she the one you sent?" ”

Li Congshan's face turned white, several people in the house, only He Zhitang was the most scheming, and he had something to do with Qi Zhengxiu, who was guarding the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he wanted He Zhitang to send it over, why didn't he take his turn to do his own work, but it came to Zhao Guangyi's hands first. Li Congshan looked at Zhao Guangyi, and his voice trembled a little: "Why did King Jin get the picture from Zhitang first?" Zhitang, has she come to Kaifeng? ”

Zhao Guangyi put the drawing on the candle and lit it, and said coldly: "Last time, you said that you would have treasures to present to Your Majesty, so I naturally have to bother to help you pick up good people, so as not to have a difficult journey to my Great Song Dynasty." It's just that I didn't expect you to sacrifice this thing. ”

Li Congshan's mind turned, and he hurriedly said: "It must have been dropped by someone." The original diagram was not like this. I can't remember everything, but I still have an impression. ”

"Dropping?" Zhao Guangyi looked at Li Congshan's gaze, "The adult said that it was a bag drop, then it was a bag drop." After speaking, he coldly watched the fake drawings turn into ashes, and said nothing.

Li Congshan was very worried in his heart, Zhao Guangyi's attitude of not yin and yang made him extremely frightened, he accepted the gift of the Great Song Dynasty, just to win glory and wealth here, anyway, Li Tang is already the end of the country. But if this time the performance is not successful, it will be all over. Li Congshan thought for a while and said, "King Jin might as well bring Zhitang, I'll ask her how she came all the way and who might be dropped." ”

Zhao Guangyi replied coldly: "What are you doing with this kind of waste?" ”

Li Congshan was stunned, and it took a long time to understand the meaning of Zhao Guangyi's words. He Zhitang was killed by him. Li Congshan couldn't care about his sadness, and now he was more anxious about how to explain this matter to Da Song. The cow is blown out, and it is not easy to collect. After a while, he said again: "Several naval defenses in the Tang Dynasty are mainly in Runzhou, Changzhou, and Anhuikou. There is Qi Zhengxiu in Runzhou Changzhou who is not easy to deal with, but Wankou, mainly because of the exquisite arrangement, there was a person named Fan Ruoshui who drew it back then, so he might as well let him draw it there again. Although there is no full deployment map, there is one place, at least there is a breakthrough. ”

Zhao Guangyi hooked his lips and smiled, and handed the wine glass on the table to Li Congshan: "Sure enough, it's a good idea." "Although you can't get all the naval armies, it's good to have a breakthrough. After a pause, he said, "This Fan Ruoshui bothered the adults to contact him." ”

"Good, good to say, good to say." Li Congshan drank the wine, and after chatting politely with Zhao Guangyi, he retired.

Looking at Li Congshan's unscathed back, Zhao Guangyi sneered. He Zhitang, it's better to be dead than alive.

Xiao Tao returned to Jinling, and she was still busy in the daily flower moon workshop. The world is difficult, and silver is not easy to earn. Some of the names of Huayuefang also had to reduce the price to attract business, and at the same time, they had to think of some more names, and often changed to new ones, so as to have new ideas.

But every night, Xiao Tao will quietly draw the defense map again in the house, so as not to forget. When the drawing was finished, the drawing was immediately burned with a candle flame.

On this day, the business of Huayuefang was deserted, and the guests had already walked away. Xiao Tao danced a double swallow dance and wrote on the white silk, and the spectators below couldn't help but applaud. After Xiao Tao finished dancing, the guests didn't have anything else to look forward to, and left one after another. Xiao Tao sighed, saw that the courtyard was cold, and returned to Taoyuan, ordered his subordinates to go out, and spread out the paper under the candle fire, ready to paint. There are long skills.

Just after a few strokes, suddenly the door was pushed open forcefully, and the loud voice of the statement shouted: "What time is it, what are you doing sneaking back?" Hurry up and get out."

Xiao Tao hurriedly folded the paper on the table, but the statement was already fast, walked to Xiao Tao's table, looked at the picture, and looked at Xiao Tao: "What are you drawing?" ”

At the same time as the statement came in, he also brought another person, and at this time, the person also walked slowly with the steps of the statement, looked at the picture, and looked at Xiao Tao's eyes a little complicated: "At present, the symbol drawn by this girl looks like a marching formation map, but she just drew a few strokes, and she can't see where it is." ”

"Array diagram? Oh? Xiao Tao's voice became brisk, "In the afternoon, a guest came here and threw a picture here, and took it away in a hurry, I opened it curiously and looked at it, thinking it was a ghost exorcism, just now I was trying to draw it with my memory to see, but it happened that you came." By the way, who is this? ”

The statement patted the man's shoulder with a big grin: "This is a new brother brought to you to know, Fan Ruoshui." I saw you dancing just now, so I have to pay a visit."
