Section 290 The river is burned by fire

"Princess Xiangxiang's people are waiting for you in front, you treat me well, if you run away from popularity, Lao Tzu can't spare you!" My father threw a horsewhip in his hand, and then kicked me hard in the ass. Frightened, Poor Dao hurriedly jumped forward and dodged, just as he was kicked out of the door, and with a bang from behind, his father slammed the door shut!

Poor Dao felt like he had been raped, and since he couldn't resist, he had to face it. Fortunately, my Athena is also a reasonable person, as long as I don't take Princess Xiangxiang seriously, stop at reason, just have a name, I guess I won't be picked up by Athena and cramped, at most I will be beaten a thousand purples and thousands of reds, as long as there are no flowers in full bloom, the poor road can still stand!

"By the way, what are you giving me this whip for?" asked his father through the door.

"That's someone's dowry, it's a token of your engagement!" the father's impatient voice came from inside, "Get out, bother me again, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you!"

Is there a dowry gift? Are there any whips as a dowry? Are the people on the grassland so poor? After the poor road, I am afraid that there will be another work to help the poor!

Just when the poor road was thinking wildly, he came to the front yard unconsciously. I saw a figure independent of the wind, and the breeze stroked Princess Xiangxiang's long hair, fluttering up, giving people a very lonely and lonely feeling. At this time, her face was no longer the gorgeous and innocent appearance of the past, her red and swollen eyes, and a few tears that had not been wiped off, which made people feel pity.

When she saw me coming, she suddenly showed a shy look, but then she seemed to think of something sad, and then she was gloomy. I hurried to her, but I didn't know how to talk. In the end, it was Princess Xiangxiang who spoke first: "Xianggong is back!"

"Ah, we haven't gotten married yet, so it's okay if you still call me Gongzi or Qingtian!" said Poor Dao hurriedly. Khan: If Athena hears this title, she doesn't need to explain anything, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death!

"However, the whip I made with my own hands has already reached your hand, and according to the rules of the grassland, we are already husband and wife?" Princess Xiangxiang said suspiciously, "Don't you want me? You also look down on us grassland people?" When she spoke, her face gradually became a little more indignant and unwilling

"No! no! absolutely not!" Poor Dao smiled bitterly and quickly explained, "Is it because I'm too young to get used to it?"

"That's okay, just get used to it!" Princess Xiangxiang said with a sigh of relief.

"I!" What else could I say? I had to pray helplessly, and when Athena woke up, Princess Xiangxiang was no longer around!

"Hmm!" Princess Xiangxiang said with a blushing face: "According to the customs of the grassland, sending a hand-woven horse whip shows absolute obedience to your husband!

"Oh, give you a whip when you get married, it looks like your women are going to suffer!" said Poor Dao teased.

"Not originally!" Princess Xiangxiang said: "Normally, when the bride and groom are married, the bride and groom compete, and whoever loses will be given a whip, but generally the woman loses, and it is very embarrassing for a man to have no whip from his wife on the grassland." ”

"Huh, then we're going to have another fight?" Poor Dao was depressed. I almost never do anything with women, do I?

"No, I'm taking the initiative to admit defeat, so we don't have to fight, you can just take my whip!" Princess Xiangxiang said reluctantly.

"Why is that? Do you know you can't beat me?" said Poor Dao with a curious smile. If that's the case, why was she so reluctant just now?

"No!" Princess Xiangxiang bit her lip and said, "Among my peers on the grassland, I don't have any opponents?"

"Huh, so fierce?" said Poor Dao in surprise: "Then why do you just admit defeat?"

"Because something big happened on our grassland!" Princess Xiangxiang suddenly said to me: "My brother and sister-in-law are dead!woo~~~" Then she simply threw herself into my arms and cried.

Here it is again! The poor road just can't see a woman crying, and when I cry, I will be numb! I quickly comforted: "Okay, okay! It's all over!"

"You know it all!" Princess Xiangxiang asked, crying

"Hmm!" said Poor Daoxin, almost single-handedly planned, can I not know? I know better than anyone else!

"Then can I ask you for something? I think it's because I want to beg you!" said Princess Xiangxiang to me, looking up at me.

"Say it, whether you want to steam or braise the second prince of Carter, I'll help you do it!" This must be her wish, and the pig can guess it, let alone me. As long as I'm okay, who cares if the second prince lives or dies? Don't look at him as a favor for me, in fact, I hate this kind of person the most!

"Great! You guessed it, this is the most ideal husband in my mind!" Princess Xiangxiang's eyes lit up and said, "Xiangxiang is really grateful to God for sending you to me." I only ask you to capture the second prince alive and give it to me, and I will personally kill him and avenge my brother and sister-in-law!"

"No problem, it's a trivial matter!" said Poor Dao. But I was hesitating in my heart, should I tell her the truth of the matter? Otherwise, I would have accidentally killed someone's brother and sister-in-law by playing a conspiracy, and then marrying someone's beautiful sister. Although we are soldiers, and it is appropriate to be despicable on the battlefield, we are also human beings? Besides, Poor Dao is a cultivator, if I can't put my mentality right, it will breed demons in the future, which will be greatly detrimental to my future cultivation, in that case, I will lose a lot!

Finally, there is another reason, anyway, the Silver Fox Army has already reversed, so it is impossible to have room for regret, and these things are not my fault, so it is better to say it. If they find out after a day, won't they hate me?

"Xiangxiang!" Poor Dao said to her embarrassedly: "I have something to tell you!"

"What's the matter!" Princess Xiangxiang asked softly.

"Actually, I once sent someone to instigate the second prince to do bad things, to sow discord between you, to achieve the goal of breaking up Carter's army!

"When did you send someone!" Princess Xiangxiang asked with a serious face.

"Soon after the Carter army was stationed outside Qatar, I sent people!" I said slowly.

"How did your people instigate him?" asked Princess Xiangxiang dissatisfied. There was already a hint of anger on her face.

"That's how I arranged it!" Poor Dao stubbornly told her everything.

Princess Xiangxiang's reaction was not as violent as I thought, just a little angry, much less than I expected. She listened calmly to what I had said, only interrupting a few times in the middle to ask a few details that she didn't understand.

"Why do you want to tell me?" Princess Xiangxiang looked into my eyes and asked, "The people who do these things are your henchmen, and you can hide them from me forever!"

"I, Long Qingtian, can use any means against the enemy, but I won't hide anything from the people around me!" said Poor Dao proudly.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll be angry and go back to tell my father?" asked Princess Xiangxiang.

"First, if you can't go back, I'll find someone to watch you, because you're my enemy. I'm never polite to the enemy. Second, I can't be blamed for this matter, I'm just doing what a commander should do, I'm for the country, for victory, for the lives of my subordinates. And if the second prince had a good nature, there would be nothing, and I didn't force him to do these things. I regret the matter of your brother and sister-in-law, this is definitely not planned by me. It was just an accident, but I definitely don't regret it, even if I did it again, I would do the same. Because, I can't joke with the lives of my own soldiers!"

"Hmm!" Princess Xiangxiang smiled at me and said, "Actually, not only do I not hate you, but I thank you very much!"

"Huh?" Poor Dao thought of Princess Xiangxiang's various reactions after telling the truth, such as slapping, kicking, and scolding, but she didn't expect that she would thank me!

"Hehe!" Princess Xiangxiang smiled slightly, and in an instant, a beautiful scenery like a hundred flowers blooming in front of me, and then she asked softly, "I'm surprised, isn't it?"

"Hmm!" said Poor Dao nodded stupidly.

"Hehe!" Princess Xiangxiang smiled: "I thank you for two points, the first is thank you for your trust, you can tell me the truth, it shows that you are open-minded, and you value me very much, which makes me very moved!

"You're welcome!" Poor Dao smiled awkwardly, "What about the second?"

"The second is to thank your spies for revealing the truth about my brother's killing!" Princess Xiangxiang said solemnly.

"But, aren't you angry with me for instigating the second prince to harm your people?" asked Poor Dao curiously.

"Hate, why don't you hate!" Princess Xiangxiang said with an angry face.

"Then you still don't understand?"

"Actually, although you are hateful, you are only speeding up the process!" Princess Xiangxiang said bitterly: "After my father knew about the good deeds done by the second prince, he quickly sent someone to investigate the grassland herdsmen who were toyed dead by the second prince. It turned out that since the second prince entered the grassland, there have been herdsmen in the grassland who have disappeared, and at first we thought that it was all done by the notorious Carter Guards First Division, but later we found out that the second prince and his guards were also involved. They only slightly relented after the total annihilation of Carter's 1st Division. So even if it weren't for your factor, he would definitely not have endured it for long! My brother and sister-in-law's incident was really an accident, and you didn't know that the matter of my sister-in-law's coming to the front line was all done by the bastard of the second prince. Besides, if it weren't for your spies to help us get the news out, we wouldn't even know how my brother died?"

"I said how things went so smoothly, so this guy has been so bad for a long time?" Poor Dao said with a depressed face: "I didn't send someone if I knew it, didn't I make a bad guy for nothing?"

"If you don't send someone, then we will still be in the dark by the second prince and Sisirmon?" Princess Xiangxiang said hatefully.

"Oh, as you talk, it's getting late, you come, I'll take you to watch a good show!" Poor Dao got up and smiled at Princess Xiangxiang.

"What kind of play? Can you not go, I'm really not in the mood right now?" begged Princess Xiangxiang.

"Hehe! Your favorite play, you have to watch it. You'll regret it if you don't see it!" Poor Dao tempted.

"What kind of drama is that?" Princess Xiangxiang couldn't help but ask.

"Burning the river!" said Poor Dao with a sneer.

At the same time, thousands of miles away from us, in the Carter Iron Wall Corps station, there was still a busy scene. Tens of thousands of shipwrights and tens of thousands of sailors are still working hard all night. Only the last few battleships are still being assembled, and as long as they are launched, Carter's naval army will have a powerful naval force on the Liuhua River!

Carter's invincible reputation in the world, with an army of 300,000 fighting against a 50,000-strong army on an inland river, it was simply too simple, and they were very confident that from now on, the absolute control of the Liuhua River was already in Carter's hands!

Now, on the river of more than a dozen miles near the shipyard, more than a thousand warships are densely arranged. Among them, there are more than 300 medium-sized warships and more than 600 small warships. There are thousands of other supply and vigilance boats, all of which are lifeboats unloaded from the big boats, they are very small, they are not affected by the blocked river, and they can drive directly over, so they are the first to drive to the river to be on guard.

Because the scout cavalry of the Great Han Kingdom often wandered in front of the Iron Wall Army, in order not to let them discover Carter's battleship, Carter's sailors did not drive the battleship out, and they were crowded near the dock. This is obviously very dangerous, once it is attacked, it will be a large burn!

So Carter did a lot of preventive work to prevent this from happening. On land, the Iron Wall Army protected both sides of the strait tightly, and the wind and rain did not leak. On the water, they blocked a large number of small boats on the river, blocking the way of enemy warships on the water, and also added fuel to the water. It was barrels full of grease, thousands of them, covering the Boss's water. Normally, they are dropped below the surface by heavy objects, and as soon as the enemy ships approach, the sailors will hinge the ropes that tie them up, causing them to float to the surface, and then they can be set on fire.

This trap is far away from the main ship, and there is no need to worry about the grease drifting down the current, because it has already burned out before this! Not to mention, there are thousands of small ships blocking it before this. Therefore, if the Han naval army dares to attack on the water, it will definitely pay a heavy price!

Therefore, when Poor Dao saw them throwing things into the water, he immediately became vigilant and sent the Night Elves to attack together on the shore in the water to figure out the matter, which is why I have not used the water army to encircle and suppress them! But now it is different, after getting the news, Poor Dao stayed up all night, and finally came up with a plan, a plan that can completely destroy them!

In order to cooperate with this plan, he did not hesitate to duel with Prince Sisil three times, so that he could be reassured that I did not know that he had a navy. So that Prince Sisil can continue to carry out his plan with confidence, and now everything is under the control of the poor road. How pitiful is Prince Sisil still being kept in the dark by me?

Speaking of which, although Poor Dao has played with the big and small of the Ishihara family several times, he doesn't think it's a big deal, it's just that they are too mentally retarded, and they don't have any technical content at all, so it's really not interesting. But a wise man like Sisil is different, he is so cunning as a fox, to be able to play him to this point, poor Dao has a sense of accomplishment, that feeling is so cool!

The place where the poor road blocked the river at the beginning, that is, where Carter's current naval warship is located, is still relatively easy to defend in terms of geographical location, but it is just the grassland terrain of a flat river, as long as you work hard in advance, with the elite 200,000 Iron Wall Legion soldiers and as many as 300,000 sailors, it should be enough to resist the sneak attack of the Han army! However, the only defense hole they didn't expect was that it was too close to the Elven Forest, and the shortest straight-line distance was only twenty miles, and the distance was only thirty or fifty miles!

Although the Elven Forest is extremely dangerous, almost no one dares to arrange the ambush army inside, but what others dare not do, the poor road does not dare? And although Carter's Prince Cicell also thought of this, and constantly sent people to venture into it to investigate, but when no one was seen, which commander was willing to send his men in to feed the monsters? After the first few inspections, they gave up this mission with a casualty rate of up to 50 percent!

Because in their opinion, it was already absolutely safe there, and the countless magical beasts in the Elven Forest were their best guards. However, the safer the place, the more vigilant we must be, but unfortunately such a famous saying can only be understood after paying the price of blood!
