After a day of visits and observations, Xiao Rui came to a very unbelievable news: either the scourge of the Dongting water bandits was discovered, and the court really suppressed the bandits; Either that, Jing Xiangshui has rebelled.

"Whatever the case may be, there will be a great chaos in this cave. No, you and I are too dangerous, and Uncle Jiangxia's three thousand people are very conspicuous, so we must notify them as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Changle is a general knowledge, and he didn't mention any more agreements at this time, but called the big cat, ready to let the big cat run quickly to deliver the letter.

Xiao Rui stopped, "No, the big cat's target is too big." Let's go back. ”

Back? Whom do you call to deliver the message? Xiao Changle was very puzzled.

But after half a day, Xiao Changle saw everything, and looked at Fang Er and Li Junxian in surprise, "You, you...... Wow! Okay, you guys go first, why do you hide behind us and follow us? ”

Fang Er was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, Li Junxian smiled bitterly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we are guards, we are not tracking and peeping, we are just protecting our tails." ”

Xiao Rui said seriously: "Okay, the stakes are high, time is pressing, don't joke." Fifth brother, something happened in the Dongting area, and now I need you to catch up with Uncle Huang and his party to deliver a letter. ”

Listening to Xiao Rui's analysis, Li Junxian and the others also realized the seriousness of the problem. Leaving Fang Er to protect, Li Junxian hurried to chase Li Daozong.

Li Daozong's side had already marched to the edge of the Yangtze River.

"Father, let's camp here for a day, and the child will take someone to inform the nearby Jingxiang Water Master." Li Jingheng opened his mouth and said.

Li Daozong rode on the horse and said with a smile: "No need, and look into the distance, they have already come." ”

Sure enough, a large group of boats on the river slowly came down the river and came to the shore in an instant.

A group of neatly looked sailors and horses slowly came down and ran towards Li Daozong quickly.

"But in front of King Jiangxia? Liu Xi, the deputy general of the Jingxiang Water Division, was ordered to come here to greet the prince. Knowing that the prince crossed the river and went north today, I have been waiting for a long time. ”

Li Daozong turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Vice General Liu doesn't need to be polite, this king returned to Beijing on a private matter, which alarmed Jingxiang Shui Shi, and there was a lot of trouble. ”

"Where is the prince? It is our duty to share the worries of the prince. Are you boarding now? "The lieutenant is very good at talking.

Li Jingheng persuaded: "Father, crossing the river is unusual, or let's wait for a day and let the little sister cross the river together." ”

When Liu Xi heard this, he was puzzled: "Prince, isn't the county lord and the new aunt behind?" I didn't listen to our people. ”

Li Jingheng was surprised: "So, you have been monitoring us all the time? ”

Liu Xi hurriedly apologized: "The little prince misunderstood, Jingxiang is our ground, and a troop of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared, and we have a duty to pay attention to." We know that it is the two of you who have come back from Lingnan, so we are just here to greet you, and we have no other intentions. ”

Li Daozong waved his hand to stop his son, Xiao Changle and Xiao Rui couldn't be exposed, so he said: "That's it, don't wait for them, maybe it's delaying in the back." Let's go first, we have something to do when we go back to Chang'an. Vice Admiral Liu, let's arrange to board a boat to cross the river now, I'm tired. ”

"Don't dare, prince, little prince, please follow the general."

……

When Li Junxian came to the riverside, Li Daozong and others had already completed the river crossing.

This, this......

How good is that? If there is really a mutiny in the Dongting area, then the three thousand soldiers and horses of the King of Jiangxia can be said to be of great importance! No, even if I chase to the other side of the river and Luoyang, I have to catch up and ask for help.

Xiao Rui is not idle here, since the Jingxiang Water Division encircles and suppresses the Dongting Lake Water Village, and the iron bucket can't get in, so it is better to mix in the Jingxiang Water Division? Didn't you say that the imperial court sent Wei Zheng to lead the team? Didn't you understand everything when you saw Wei Zheng?

But after looking for two days in a row, I couldn't find out where Qin Cha Wei Zheng was.

In desperation, Xiao Rui could only find a big city and find the Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce to ask.

This question is not tight, the Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce gave a shocking news: "The Yangtze River is blocked and martial law, and I have not been allowed to cross the river from Jingxiang for a whole month, saying that it is to suppress bandits and prevent Dongting water bandits from escaping and reporting the news." ”

What???

"It's not normal! If it is a normal army to suppress bandits, it is enough to be upright, why cut off all kinds of key roads? This is not to resist foreign enemies, the Dongting water bandits are just a lone group, who can they ask for help? ”

"Obviously, there is something wrong with the methods of the Jingxiang Water Master, they don't seem to be guarding against the Dongting Water Bandits, but ...... In, in the severance of the intelligence network! Yes, even the civilians crossing the river were cut off, obviously covering up something. ”

After thinking about everything, Xiao Rui ordered that the Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce in Jingxiang Region should go all out to launch the news network, and be sure to find out two things: First, where is the Imperial Shi Qin's Wei Zheng? Second, what is the situation of the water village in Dongting Lake? If possible, secretly prepare a small boat, and Xiao Rui is ready to find out for himself.

If Li Junxian was here, he would definitely oppose this plan as soon as possible, after all, Xiao Rui was powerless, not the invincible champion Hou, how could he risk his life? Different land ...... on the water

It's a pity that Li Junxian is not there, there are Xiao Changle and Fang Er next to him, two guys who think they are invincible in the world, they don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and they said in unison: It's so exciting!

For another two days, the Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce used all its strength to finally spy on a vague piece of information: Wei Zheng is in Xiangyang, but we can't reach it, and it seems that he is under house arrest.

House arrest?

Ridiculous! It is rumored outside that Wei Zheng is the commander of the imperial court and led troops to encircle and suppress Dongting Water Village, but he didn't expect that the fact was that he was under house arrest in Xiangyang? Hehe, are they really bold, this is to support the army and stand on their own? Suppressing bandits under the banner of Wei Zheng?

"I want to cover it! Obviously, Lao Wei found out their sore spots, they were afraid that the court would punish them, so the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and made the first move. In this way, the Dongting water bandits are innocent, and the Jingxiang water master is a thief shouting to catch the thief. ”

Xiao Changle was puzzled: "Brother Zangfeng, but what about after they exterminated Dongting Water Village?" As long as you don't raise the flag and stand on your own, you will have to face the court after all. ”

Brother Zangfeng?

Fang Er's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth: What did I hear? Why is this called so fleshy? The relationship between the two of them is progressing so fast!

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and knocked on Xiao Changle, "Call brother-in-law!" ”

"It's very simple, as long as you destroy the Dongting Water Village, and then kill people and kill people."

Kill somebody to do away with a witness? Kill whom?

"Do they still dare to kill Wei Xiang? That's the prime minister of the court! Fang Er's mouth opened wide.

Xiao Rui sneered: "Why don't you dare to jump off the wall in a hurry?" Of course, they won't do it themselves, they just need to blame the Dongting water bandits, and report to the court when the time comes: The Dongting water bandits are heinous, and it was Qin sent Wei Xiang to personally lead the team to suppress the bandits, but unfortunately the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and Wei Xiang unfortunately died in the middle of the arrow! ”

"The Dongting water bandits have been destroyed, Wei Xiang is also gone, all the insiders have no proof of death, and the court can't do anything about them."

Xiao Changle said anxiously: "Brother-in-law, what should I do?" Can we just watch them cover the sky here? ”

Xiao Rui sighed and said, "For today's plan, I can only count on Uncle Huang's three thousand soldiers and horses." ”

Three thousand soldiers?

The shopkeeper of the Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce next to him frowned, "Master Hou, are you talking about the soldiers and horses of the King of Jiangxia?" I'm afraid ......"
