At night, the surface of the river is like a huge black jade inlaid on the earth, and the lights of the stars jump in it, as if the stars have fallen into the world.

But the cold wind howling on the river made the people in the boat feel no goodness.

Hearing Nangong Xian's words, Zhang Feng looked sideways and laughed softly: "Don't worry, Brother Xian is the father-in-law of Marquis Chen, for the sake of this relationship, Qingzhou will not abandon us." ”

"Qu Shuai, don't make fun of me. I have never met Chen Moke, Ru'er and his marriage are all family decisions, I didn't have any friendship with him before, and this kind of political marriage pays attention to interests first. The Huai Army sailors are entrenched on the river, and on such a cold day, this is a thankless job. Nangong Xian smiled bitterly and said.

"Brother Xian doesn't have to be so pessimistic, from the previous letter from Qingzhou, saying let's wait, it means that the family is behind the scenes, our water division, but the foundation of the family, will not be given up so easily."

Although Zhang Feng said so in his mouth, he was not optimistic about the direction of the result in his heart, King Huai's blockade of Fengzhou was not only a blockade of food, but also a blockade of news.

This makes it difficult for Zhang Feng to get first-hand information outside Fengzhou, and he doesn't know what is happening outside now.

And the Huai Army's step-by-step pressing, so that the living space of the Heavenly Master Army is constantly compressed, and there is no turning point, and their group of people will eventually become the turtle in the urn.

Nangong Xian barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and looked at the line of fire in the distance on the river, which was a row of Huai Army Navy Division warships.

Suddenly, Nangong Xian saw that in that line of fire, there was a fire point that was getting bigger and bigger.

Nangong Xian stared at it for a while, and then his pupils shrank slightly, and he pointed to the fire in the distance and said, "Qu Shuai. It looks like a warship is approaching us."

That's right, the fire point, which is getting bigger and bigger, is approaching the north shore of Toyoshu.

Not only did Nangong Xian discover it, but soon, the various posts arranged by Zhang Feng also discovered the fire points one after another, and it also caused a commotion.

Thinking that the sailors of the Huai army had already called, they blew a loud horn and hurriedly took precautions.

When he got closer, he found that the fire point was just a small boat, and there were only two people on the boat, and the leader claimed to be the messenger of King Huai, and he pointed out that he wanted to see Zhang Feng.

After Zhang Feng learned the news, he immediately asked people to bring this messenger who claimed to be King Huai to him.

But after this envoy of King Huai saw Zhang Feng, he did not speak, but instead swept the surrounding Zhang Feng's personal soldiers and Nangong Xian, the meaning is self-evident.

Zhang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the other party tightly, and then raised his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

Nangong Xian was a little worried, and whispered in his ear: "Qu Shuai."

"It's okay, I'm going to see what he has to say." Zhang Feng knew what Nangong Xian was going to say, and opened his mouth to say that it was okay.

After Nangong offered them all down, the envoy of King Huai first bowed his hand to Zhang Feng, and then said: "Pass on the prince's edict, at the request of the Marquis of Pingting County, two days later, on the 18th day of December, we will open a hole in the northwest direction to allow General Zhang's sailors to pass, and the password: The long night is unknown."

Please remember that only your sailors will be allowed to pass, and if General Zhang carries the rest of the Heavenly Division's army, this order will be null and void. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Feng was shocked.

Seeing that Zhang Feng didn't speak, the envoy of King Huai frowned and said, "General Zhang, can you remember?" ”

"Remember."

After King Huai's envoy left, Nangong Xian came to Zhang Feng's face, showing curiosity.

Zhang Feng did not hide it from Nangong Xian, and told Nangong Xian what the envoy of King Huai told him.

Nangong Xian's eyebrows froze: "Qu Shuai, will this be fraudulent?" If this is an ambush by the Huai army, after we passed, we happened to be wrapped in dumplings. ”

Zhang Feng didn't speak, because he didn't dare to guarantee that there would be fraud in it, but Linchuan City had been lost, and the Huai army would come here sooner or later, which was nothing more than the difference between early death and late death, but if it was true, he would be able to pick up a small life.

Didn't Chen Mo tell them to wait, maybe just wait for this.

"We're in a predicament right now, whether it's true or not, we're going to gamble." Zhang Feng made up his mind in his heart and said to Nangong Xian: "Brother Xian, in this way, in two days, I will take the two battalions over first, and after a quarter of an hour, if we don't have an accident, you will take the rest of the people over." ”

"No, how can you let Qu Shuai take the lead, or I'll go first." Nangong Xian scrambled to be the first.

"Say no more, it's decided."

"Where is Zheng Zhong?" Nangong Xian whispered.

Since the water division under the command of Zhang Feng belonged to the Nangong family, in order to ensure that this water division obeyed the orders of the Heavenly Division, Luo Guang arranged for a believer to come to the water division to be the supervising army, and the supervising army needed to report the situation of the daily naval division to Luo Guang.

And Zheng Zhong is the supervisor of this water division.

Since he was going to retreat in two days, the order must be passed down in advance, and it was impossible for Zheng Zhong, as the supervising army, not to know about it.

And although this sailor Luo Guang only sent one overseer, who dares to guarantee that there is only one ear line.

Perhaps the news of the visit of King Huai's envoy just now reached Zheng Zhong's ears at this moment.

Zhang Feng paced back and forth for a while, and then his eyes were ruthless: "I made a gesture on my neck, since I want to gamble, then I won't do it." ”

Zheng Zhong is a six-rank martial artist.

And the seal seal is the fifth grade.

As for why the strength of the prison army is not as high as that of Zhang Feng, it is entirely because Zheng Zhong represents Luo Guang's will, and killing Zheng Zhong is equivalent to turning his face with Luo Guang.

Therefore, whether the strength of the prison army is high or not is not the key.

"I see." Nangong dedicated it to inform Zheng Zhong to go.

As Zhang Feng guessed, Zheng Zhong did know the news of the visit of King Huai's envoy, and in his opinion, King Huai wanted to persuade Zhang Feng to surrender.

Therefore, when Nangong Xian found him and said that he would go to Zhang Feng to talk about the news of King Huai's visit, Zheng Zhong did not suspect it and walked away.

Soon, there was a scream from Zhang Feng's cabin, but under the cover of the howling cold wind, it did not attract the slightest attention, and the guards outside only saw something splashing on the window.

…

Two days later.

It was late at night, there was no moon on the river, the cold wind was lonely, and seven large warships left from the north shore, the lights on the warships were extinguished, and only the dim light of the wheelhouse, like ghosts, drifted away in the northwest direction.

Soon, they arrived at the line of defense of the Huai Army Water Division, and they were spotted by the sentry post of the Huai Army Water Division.

The bed crossbows on the ship were all aimed at them.

With the light of the fire on the Huai Army's warship, Zhang Feng looked at the bed crossbow glowing with cold light, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his back, thinking that it was really fraudulent.

Fortunately, a man wearing battle armor in the next Huaijun Naval Division, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Password." ”

"The night is not clear." Zhang Feng answered in person.

The man in the armor waved his hand, then boarded the ship to check, roughly counting the number of people on the warship, and seeing if there were any major leaders of the Celestial Master Army mixed in.

After inspection, it will be released.

As the entire water division passed the blockade of the Huai Army Water Division and headed towards Qingzhou, the Huai Army did not chase after it, and Zhang Feng's heart that mentioned his throat and eyes was finally let go.

……

Before that, Pingting County.

After reading the secret letter sent by the Fifth Fusheng, Chen Mo no longer waited, and directly ordered: "Sun Meng, pass the order, let Li Yunzhang and Wen Heng each order 5,000 elite soldiers, and go with me to pick up guests." ”

"No." Sun Meng soon went down to give the order.

…

The wind on the river is particularly strong, and it is retrograde to go from Fengzhou to Qingzhou, and the night is hazy, Zhang Feng does not dare to let the sailor travel too fast, if it hits the reef, it will sink the ship.

If you fall into the water on such a cold day, you will die.

Until the sky was bright, Zhang Feng and Nangong Xiancai were on the deck, and saw the land of Qingzhou, and it was foggy in the morning, Zhang Feng didn't see where the dock was, so he could only let the people below slowly move forward according to their experience.

As Zhang Feng's sailor got closer to the shore, the dock also revealed its outline, and the northwest wind suddenly rose, dispersing the fog around the dock, and Zhang Feng and the others were shocked.

I saw that around the dock, countless sergeants were wearing armor and holding guns, there was no noise, there was no impatience, the queue was neat, the flags were fluttering, the hunting was loud, and the murderous atmosphere was awe-inspiring.

As the fog cleared again, the sergeants were hidden again.

The soldiers stood solemnly in the cold wind, without a trace of noise, and stood for more than a moment and a half, with the knowledge of Zhang Feng and Nangong Xian, they immediately realized that this was a strong army.

"It should be the defenders of Qingzhou who have come to greet us." Nangong said.

Zhang Feng called his own soldiers and said, "Pass my general, in the direction of the dock, quickly approach." ”

"No."

……

Chen Mo was standing on the shore, and under Sun Meng's reminder, Zhang Feng and Nangong Xian knew that Chen Mo had actually come to greet them in person, and they couldn't help but be a little moved.

But what he didn't expect was that he would soon be unable to move.

"The last general is sealed, see Hou Ye." Zhang Feng took a step forward and bowed to Chen Mo.

Zhang Feng has also been given a seal by the imperial court before, and in a sense, he is also a military general of the imperial court.

"General Zhang, I have admired it for a long time, I heard that the eldest brother mentioned General Zhang's name before, and now I have seen General Zhang's demeanor for the first time, which makes Ben Hou amazed." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Master Hou is polite." Zhang Feng chuckled, and immediately saw Chen Mo's gaze looking at Nangong Xian, and said, "Master Hou, he is my deputy general, Nangong Xian." ”

"The last general, Nangong Xian, has seen Master Hou."

Nangong bowed, but was soon supported by Chen Mo and helped up: "It turned out to be Lord Yue, I can't afford this big gift, please hurry up." ”

"Master Xie." Nangong Xian raised his head and looked at his son-in-law with his spare eyes.

"Before coming to Qingzhou, I also promised Ru'er that I was going to take my father-in-law back to Yuzhou for the New Year, but now I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Nangong Xian's heart was touched, after all, he thought that he couldn't come back before this, and couldn't help asking: "Master Hou, how is she now?" ”

"Okay, I'll take Ling to Yuzhou to see her in the future." As he spoke, Chen Mo looked at the sailors who had not yet disembarked behind Zhang Feng, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou has prepared food in the city, please enter the city to enjoy it." ”
