The three-masted ship suddenly stopped in the middle of the Wujiang River, the wind stopped sharply, and the strong inertia almost made Li Xuan a little unstable on his feet.

Fortunately, his strength is not bad, and his legs are together, and he is directly stable on the deck.

There was no handrail in front of them, and many other people fell directly on their backs under this abruptness, and even several people fell directly off the boat and fell into the water with a "poof".

This includes Zhou Qian and Su Baotong, who were standing at the front of the deck like Li Xuan.

And this moment, everyone knows.

Something has happened!

……

Yuan Chao looked at the clear river below, and he almost fell directly, but fortunately, in the middle of the crisis, a big hand grabbed him in time.

The force from above came, and Yuan Chao was immediately pulled up.

As soon as he stood firm, Yuan Chao hurriedly took a step back, bowed to Li Xuan, who was standing there, and was a little frightened: "Thank you for the prince's help, the lower officials will immediately go to check and see what is going on?" ”

"Go ahead." Li Xuan watched Yuan Chao leave, then turned to look at Li Zhu and made a look: "You go and take the boat to rescue Zhou Qian and Baotong." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu did not hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and got off the boat to save people.

The three-masted ship stopped in the middle of the Wujiang River, and the other big ships behind it slowly chased after it at this time, as if there were signs of outflanking the ship, while the other people on their ship had an unknown look on their faces.

Turning their heads, they saw Li Xuan standing there gently, and their expressions relaxed.

What happened in this is not clear to everyone, but as long as the king of Nanchang is still there, everything will be fine.

At this time, Yuan Ying walked over and said to Li Xuan: "Back to the prince, this ship was originally a patrol ship of the Muzhou Metropolitan Water Division, and it was later transformed into a warship, this ship looks very new, but in fact the ship is thirteen years old......

"Don't be nervous, this king can understand."

Li Xuan's voice was very peaceful, he looked at Yuan Ying, and under the attention of the other people present, he smiled gently, and then asked casually: "Yuan Langjun has been married now, and his parents are ...... at home?"

The Yuan family is a Taizhou family, and the ancestors are the descendants of Situ Yuan An of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan An was born in the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yuan An had several great-great-grandsons, one of whom was called Yuan Shao and the other was called Yuan Shu.

Although Taizhou Yuan is a descendant of Yuan An, he is not a descendant of Yuan Shao Yuan.

Li Xuan and Yuan Ying answered one-on-one, which calmed down the expressions of many people present, and they couldn't help but think of home.

……

Yuan Chao hurriedly went down to the bottom of the cabin, and a few miles ahead of him he would reach Sanhe Pass.

As long as they arrive at Sanhe Pass, then they will be regarded as surrendering to the imperial court.

At that time, even if he Yuan Chao can't protect the official Sima of Wuzhou, he also believes that the imperial court will definitely not be stingy with rewards.

Yuan Chao knew this very well, but he always wanted a bigger official position, so he kept procrastinating.

Although Li Xuan did not give a clear answer now, he had hinted openly and secretly.

As long as Yuan Chao can assist Li Xuan in the future, then Li Xuan will help him in many ways.

This is already co-opting.

Yuan Chao was able to join the army in a state, and he was not ignorant of the affairs of the DPRK and China, although the central government was increasingly constrained by the clan, but the clan had a huge influence in the government and the opposition.

Take Wuzhou as an example, before Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou, there were two clansmen, Li Ai and Ku Cao, who joined the army, Li Yuanyi, served in Wuzhou.

There are many similarities in other states, and Wuzhou later had Li Xuan, the king of the county, descended.

Therefore, for the clan, you can get closer, as long as you don't get too close.

Yuan Chao and Li Xuan are still in the stage of testing each other, and nothing else is far from being said.

But Yuan Chao intends to get closer to the imperial court, and with his identity, family background, and status, there are not many choices.

……

Yuan Chao walked to the lower cabin with displeasure, pushed open the door, and was just about to open his mouth to reprimand history, when dozens of eyes fell on him at the same time.

But at this moment, Yuan Chao had already shut his mouth.

His eyes were fixed on the center of the crowd.

A handsome Confucian scholar in his thirties wearing a blue silk robe and holding a delicate folding fan in his hand was looking at him coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Boss!" Yuan Chao called out the other party's name in a dry voice.

The Grand Governor, the real Grand Governor of the Tianyin Sect, the only Grand Administrator, Wen Fuzhi.

He appeared in the lower cabin at Li Xuan's feet, silently.

"Yuan Sima, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Wen Fuzhi took a step forward, and several white-clothed guards suddenly flashed behind him.

"It won't be long, it's only half a ......" Yuan Chao's mouth was already a little nervous and couldn't open.

At this time, Wen Fuzhi came to Yuan Chao's side.

He patted Yuan Chao's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "Sima is still meritorious, although he failed to break through the Sanhe Pass in time, but it is also a great achievement to lure the thorny enemy of the King of Nanchang to our own ship." ”

Yuan Chao's face twitched vigorously, and he subconsciously looked up, but the boat board directly covered his eyes.

"Now, trouble Sima to go up and tell the king of Nanchang to let all the generals and teams return to their warships." Wen Fuyi said the reason for the sudden halt of the warship.

"The king of Nanchang will not agree, he himself let the soldiers and generals separate to ensure that the water division cannot pose a threat to Sanhe Pass, once the soldiers and generals are separated, he will immediately know what is going on?" Yuan Chao's voice was a little dry, and then he looked at Wen Fuzhi with a pleading face.

The corners of Wen Fuzhi's mouth twitched, and he said with a sneer: "Why, Yuan Sima is still reluctant to give the high-ranking officials Houlu from the imperial court?" ”

"Don't dare, the chief is forgiven, the subordinates and the official army are also forced to contact, the Meilingguan army was destroyed, and the king of Nanchang sent a separate army to kill Jiande, the backup has been cut off, even if the subordinates enter Wuzhou, it is difficult to do anything!" Yuan Chao's face was full of helplessness and suffering.

The Tianyin Sect only left some old, weak, sick and disabled people in Muzhou to defend the city, and all the other people who could be mobilized had already been mobilized and left Muzhou.

Fang Fengjin, who killed Meiling Pass, and Zhu Jun, who killed Sanhe Pass, should have cooperated with each other, but as soon as Fang Fengjin was defeated, Zhu Zhu's side immediately became a lone army, and it was difficult to support it alone.

It was precisely because of this that Yuan Chao was able to persuade Zhu Jun to contact the official army to surrender to Cheng.

As soon as Zhu Zhu relented, Yuan Chao immediately made a ruthless move, killed all of Zhu Zhu's cronies, shocked others, and then completely took control of the ship.

Wen Fuzhi's expression turned cold, looked at Yuan Chao, and said coldly: "Yuan Sima is wrong, it was you who did everything possible to interfere with the advance of the water division, which led to the failure to break through the Sanhe Pass in time, and failed to echo the Meiling Pass, which ultimately led to Fang Fengjin's failure all the way, the cause and effect can't be reversed so casually, Yuan Sima?" ”

As he spoke, Wen Fuzhi slapped Yuan Chao's shoulder directly with a strong palm.

In an instant, the pain came from Yuan Chao's shoulder completely, and his whole person was suddenly unable to move.

The corners of Yuan Chao's mouth kept twitching, and the severe pain made him hold back all his words.

Yuan Chao knew that the deepest thoughts in his heart had been seen through by Wen Fuzhi, and he couldn't argue with anything.

In the end, after the pain was relieved, Wen Fuzhi immediately nodded and said, "The lower official obeys the order, and immediately goes to arrange for the soldiers to return to the ship." ”

"Hmm!" Wen Fuzhi nodded slightly, and then let go of Yuan Chao.

Yuan Chao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, did not dare to slack off at all, and turned around immediately at Wen Fuzhi.

Wen Fuzhi stared at Yuan Chao with cold eyes, making him feel a chill in his back.

Walking out of the bilge, Yuan Chao was immediately stunned, and he found that behind the big ship, several other warships had surrounded him, and on the deck, Li Xuan still chatted leisurely with everyone as if he didn't notice anything.

Strangely, almost all of the team leaders did not look at the ships around them.

"The biggest expectation of my subordinates is to be able to gallop to Mobei and make contributions, but unfortunately the Eastern and Western Turks have been wiped out, and there is no opportunity!" Yuan Ying couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Li Xuan shook his head and said with a solemn face: "You are in the southeast, some things are not clear, the Western Turks have been unstable a few months ago, Your Majesty has sent the Pingyang County Duke to be transferred to the Daizhou Assassin History, acting as the governor of the capital, with the temperament of the Pingyang County Duke, this Daizhou is afraid that there will be a bloodshed." ”

Pingyang County Gong Xue Li, the word Rengui, Xue Rengui.

"Pingyang County Prince." Yuan Ying immediately couldn't help but exclaim, and then said with a wry smile: "As soon as the Pingyang County Duke moves, we will have no chance." ”

Xue Rengui is known for his ruthlessness, and he and Su Dingfang are the top two famous generals in the Tang Dynasty after Li Jing and Li Ji.

It's a pity that the defeat of Dafeichuan made Xue Rengui I's reputation disappear for a while.

But even so, Xue Rengui is still the devil who silences countless children in Turkic Tubo.

"Don't worry, there is a chance, it is said that Tubo has been colluding with the Turks, and there are even rumors that the national teacher of Tubo is the king of the Western Regions of the Tianyin Sect, and the Tianyin Sect has an incident in the southeast, which is to echo the actions of Tubo and the Turks, Yuan Sima, you say yes." Li Xuan looked up at Yuan Chao fiercely.

Yuan Chao slowed down a little, and then inexplicably shuddered, and hurriedly said to Li Xuan: "Xia Guan has never seen the King of the Western Regions, I don't know his true identity?" ”

"Don't be nervous." Li Xuan waved his hand directly and said: "Many things don't need to be seen with your own eyes, many things can be guessed as long as you guess." ”

"What the prince said is extremely true." Yuan Chao subconsciously bowed his hand, but he didn't listen to Li Xuan's words into his ears, he was still thinking about what Wen Fuzhi asked him to say, and stood there and arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, now that the channel is chaotic and the ships are moving in disorder, can you let the generals return to their own ships and direct the ships?" ”

When Yuan Chao said this, everyone present immediately looked at him in surprise.

After all, he was the one who gathered everyone together from the beginning, and now it is he who wants everyone to go back.

But now it's not him who calls the shots on the whole ship!

Everyone turned their heads to look at Li Xuan in an instant.

Li Xuan smiled and looked at Yuan Chao: "Is this what you mean, or the meaning of the person below, if there is really anything, can you let the person below come up directly and tell this king, is it interesting to hide and hide below?" ”

The one below, almost everyone present was a little stunned, who was the one below, who was the one below, commanding Yuan Chao like this.

You know, they, the servants of the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, are not a character to deal with, who is the person who can make him obey orders so honestly?

The corners of Yuan Chao's mouth twitched, and he was just about to say something when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"It seems that the king of Nanchang has already noticed the arrival of this seat, but this seat is a little curious, why didn't the king of Nanchang leave?" Wen Fuzhi put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the cabin.

Seeing Wen Fuzhi, all the Muzhou Navy generals present stood up and claimed, "Chief! ”

Wen Fuzhi waved his hand very casually, but his eyes kept staring at Li Xuan.

Everyone on the entire ship, in an instant, all looked at Li Xuan.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Xuan stood up straight, his face was calm, and he looked directly at Wen Fuzhi.

His eyes were surprisingly calm and undaunted.
