Chapter 703: Going to the Meeting Alone (Part II)

As the night darkened, there was calm on the river surface of Shuiying......

Without the fighting of artillery and blades during the day, the battle was temporarily suspended, and the area around the Yangtze River Pass was exchanged for a rare quiet. The warships are side by side, like old men waiting for rest at the barge, calm and profound; listening to the water on the river flowing eastward, accompanied by the gentle breeze at night, the ships are lit with fire, like a quiet and carved military rendering map, solemn and beautiful......

On the deck of the warship, Su Jia stood alone on the edge of the fence, as if she was slightly worried, and the wind was blowing in the sparse shadows. Su Jia took off her helmet with both hands, stroked the railing of the boat, and looked sideways, her long soft hair fluttered slightly with the breeze, and her temples showed clear eyes. Su Jia slowly raised her right hand, gently pulled the right sideburns, like a girl who listens to the rhythm with the wind, and the beauty of the night shows a beautiful charm......

Su Jia didn't participate in the celebration banquet tonight, maybe she is really not used to the occasion of the banquet, let alone accompany a group of big men to "gag"; more often, Su Jia prefers to enjoy the silence brought by the night breeze quietly by such a person, since joining the army with Xiao Tian, she has not been so alone and quiet for a long time. And from the conquest of Xuzhou all the way to the present, Su Jia seems to be a little tired - she is even tired of the military, and she begins to miss the days when she was free and easy to wander the rivers and lakes with Xiao Tian......

But the only thing that remains unchanged is that Xiao Tian has always been by his side. No, just thinking of Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian walked out of the cabin, looking like he was looking for himself.

Xiao Tian drank a little too much tonight and said a lot, and the whole person seemed a little confused. Seeing Su Jia standing on the deck alone, Xiao Tian didn't think about it, and greeted directly: "Jia'er, why are you here alone, why don't you go in and have a few drinks with Tang Zhan brothers?"

Su Jia didn't answer, she still looked at Jiang Mian with a clear face, and her eyes didn't look at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian was slightly drunk, thinking that his voice was quiet, Su Jia didn't hear it, so he simply raised his voice this time: "Jia'er-Jia'er-"

Su Jia still didn't answer, maybe she really had something on her mind, and she didn't care too much about Xiao Tian's shouting.

There was no response a few times, Xiao Tian was a little impatient, but he couldn't make Su Jia unhappy. The head turned, Xiao Tian gave a bad look, and then shouted in a fleshy tone: "Jia'er...... Little Susu, Little Jiajia ......"

However, this time, Su Jia finally reacted...... "Oh, I heard you, why are you calling it so meaty at night?" Su Jia blushed and "blamed" Xiao Tian.

"Who told you not to reply to me...... Xiao Tian slowly walked to Su Jia's side, accompanied her to blow the river breeze, and said with concern, "Hey, what's wrong, what's the matter with your heart?"

"It's nothing, it's just ......" Su Jia has always been heartfelt in front of Xiao Tian, but this time Su Jia didn't say anything, a strong smell of wine wafted over, breaking this soft affection, and Su Jia simply covered her nose and said "disgusted", "Oh, how much wine have you drunk......

"Forehead......" Xiao Tian couldn't help but burp, and fanned him casually with his hand, "It's okay, it's just that I won the battle, I'm happy to drink more, and I also said a lot of things with Brother Tang Zhan......"

"Really, I knew that when I was in Liusha Town, I wouldn't teach you to drink......" Su Jia inadvertently mentioned the matter of Liusha Town.

"You still think about the incident in Liusha Town......" Xiao Tian saw that both Tang Zhan and Su Jia mentioned the memories of the past tonight, and Xiao Tian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Yes, although the days in Liusha Town are not long, Ah Tian and I met there, and we will never forget the experience in Liusha Town...... " Su Jia continued to lean against the railing and recalled affectionately.

"Yes, meeting you with Jia'er can be regarded as a major turning point in my life......" Xiao Tian remembered the days in Liusha Town, and couldn't help recalling, "Moreover, I also made friends with Brother Liu Duan in Liusha Town, and I knew the life experience of the demon master...... I haven't seen him for two years, I don't know if Brother Liu Duan is doing well now, it's inconvenient for the demon master's legs and feet, at least the ghost king master fights, and I can be regarded as helping him avenge his revenge......"

Su Jia thought for a while, looked at the gentle river under the boat, and couldn't help but think on a whim: "Then when the battle is over, why don't we find a chance to go back to Liusha Town once?" To be honest, I also miss that place a lot-the town is not big, but it is full of charm, if it weren't for the misdeeds of Liu Jinquan and Zhu Qiyang back then, it would definitely be a peaceful town......

"Go back, of course I want to go back, I also promised Brother Liu Duan, if I can see you again in the future, I must drink for a while......" Xiao Tian remembered the agreement between himself and Brother Liu Duan, and couldn't help but look forward excitedly.

"Drink again, it's not enough to drink so much tonight......" Su Jia looked at Xiao Tian's excited appearance after drinking, and couldn't help but worry about whether Xiao Tian would become an alcoholic in the future.

"Why, I can't drink a little wine, I'm not married yet, I look like a housekeeper ......" After drinking, Xiao Tian became more and more bold in his speech, completely ignoring Su Jia.

Su Jia was already blushing, but in front of Xiao Tian, she didn't want to show her shy side, she still kept a straight face, made a "tough" posture, broke her finger bones and said: "If you dare to talk nonsense again tonight, believe it or not, I'll beat you until I wake up?"

Xiao Tian knew that Su Jia's temper must be tough on the outside and shy in his heart, so he simply continued to "add oil and vinegar" and said: "Why are you not happy to be my wife?"

"You ......" Su Jia had already blushed, and without waiting for Xiao Tian's reaction, he went towards Xiao Tian's abdomen with a "flower palm".

Xiao Tianxia consciously used the Dou Zhuan Star Shift to offset all the way, but the Whisk Flower Palm originally belonged to the feminine internal force, and the Dou Zhuan Star Shift, which was good at overcoming rigidity with softness, did not play a big role. Su Jia lightly touched it with one palm, but it almost made Xiao Tian spit out the wine in his stomach.

"Okay, good, I can't resist you......" Xiao Tian worked hard to settle down, so he didn't vomit, knowing that if he was true, he was not Su Jia's opponent, so he still gave up asking for softness.

"It's true, when you drink wine, you talk nonsense, and you don't look ......at the occasion at all," Su Jia's blush did not subside, and she tilted her head to the side not to let Xiao Tian see it.

But how could Xiao Tian not know Su Jia's thoughts? Xiao Tian's eyes were bad, and he continued to joke: "Okay, okay, if the meat is numb, let's talk about it alone when no one is around, okay?"

When Xiao Tian said this, Su Jia's face turned even redder, and in order to avoid embarrassment, Su Jia continued to say strongly: "Really, you big men just don't worry about doing things, and you swear by what you say, but in the end, everything will make us women tiptoe ......for you."

"What about you?" Xiao Tian was not to be outdone, and said something, "Say that you will do it if you don't agree with your words, it's true, you look so beautiful, you don't look like a woman at all, and you have a cold face every day......"

"What did you say?" Su Jia listened, a little pretended to be angry, turned her head to look at Xiao Tian's drunken "scoundrel" appearance, and said angrily, "Are you saying bad things about me in front of others again?"

"Eldest sister, do you figure out who is talking bad about people behind whom......" mentioned the matter of "speaking ill of people", Xiao Tian couldn't help but be "angry", and "accused" Su Jia, "Isn't it all you who say bad things about me in front of others......?"

"Isn't what I'm saying the truth?" Su Jia didn't seem to have talked for a long time, she didn't drink, but she also vented her displeasure in front of Xiao Tian, "Look at you, when you didn't say big things, and as a result, I asked you to settle everything...... Let's not talk about it in Liusha Town, I have to go out to deal with a little pawn; in Bianliang, every time I go out to accompany Jingmei to cause trouble outside, I have to take action to settle it; I went to the suburbs of Nanshan to save my sister-in-law, and I swore that I would be able to save my sister-in-law back, but if I didn't go to the rescue, which of you would be the opponent of Aojing Shitai; when I was in Xiaojia Villa, I risked my life to save Xuecui, destroyed the bronze cannon of the Mengyuan army, and saved the lives of all your clans; when dealing with the Ghost King Division, you were so confident that you said to protect Yingmei, but I went out at the critical moment, or I defeated all the apprentices of the Ghost King Division, and finally ran to Xunwei Mountain to save you...... Count it yourself, which time didn't you drop the chain, I'll help you settle it, and finally dare to love all the favors belong to you, say what's wrong with you?"

"Stinky girl......" Xiao Tian listened to Su Jia's "cannon words", counting the "old accounts" in the past, his eyes were unwilling, and he gritted his teeth and said secretly.

"I'm worried about you......" Su Jia took the initiative to mention it, "Have you ever said anything bad about me in front of outsiders?"

"I, how could I ......" Xiao Tian saw Su Jia take the initiative to ask, and turned to mutter.

"Really?" Su Jia thought for a while, and her eyes were a little evil, "Then tell me, what if I catch your handle one day and know that you are talking bad about me behind my back?"

Xiao Tian was not afraid of anything after drinking, so he simply said bluntly: "I'm going to say bad things behind your back, so I'll let you slap you ten times, okay?"

"Hehe, this is what you said...... Su Jia smiled playfully after hearing this, "Let me find out when the time comes, don't blame me for not being light-"

"Yes, yes, I'm really scared of you......" Xiao Tian said unpleasantly, but seeing Su Jia's rarely open and lively appearance, Xiao Tian was very happy in his heart.

After Su Jia finished speaking, she turned her gaze back to the river. It's also strange to say, looking at the river alone before, my heart was extremely hesitant, but after so many words with Xiao Tian, Su Jia suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and the previous unhappiness also disappeared with a smile.

Su Jia turned her head again and looked at Xiao Tian with a godly gaze. Xiao Tian seemed to understand Su Jia's thoughts, although he drank wine, his tone was also full of comfort: "How is it, I vented for a while, and now I am in a much better mood, right?"

"You say...... Mood?" Su Jia seemed to understand, and suddenly realized, "You came out to talk so much to me just to comfort me...... Let me clear my mind......"

"Yes, no one wants to look at your sad face all day long...... Xiao Tian continued to smile, "Brother Tang Zhan said that you have something on your mind, and I see that you are unhappy, so I came out to care about you...... Alas, it's not easy for me to accompany Jia'er through so many walks - you don't like to laugh, I have to rack my brains every day to make you laugh......"

Su Jia blushed, smiled playfully, and responded affectionately: "Thank you, Ah Tian......"

However, Xiao Tian seemed to feel that it was not enough, and continued to add: "Hey, I'm not a Jing sister, I don't have so many ideas in my head to make you laugh every day...... Okay, don't put on that face every day after you get married, be happy yourself, I don't have the time to make you happy......"

Xiao Tian spoke "presumptuous" again, Su Jia blushed, and slapped it again: "Talking nonsense again, believe it or not, I let you spit out all the wine?"

"Hey, hey, hey, okay, don't make trouble......" Xiao Tian covered up a few times, knowing that it was too late for Su Jia to thank him, and he wouldn't come really, so he took advantage of Su Jia's palm for a while, and prepared to hug him over.

Who knows, Su Jia was prepared, pushed Xiao Tian away with one hand, and said angrily: "Don't touch me, stay away from me with the smell of wine......"

This sentence is true, Xiao Tian said so much, it can be regarded as a drunken sober, and he didn't hit Su Jia's "idea" again, so he withdrew his hand, stood beside Su Jia with the railing, and continued to care: "Okay, now that I'm in a good mood, I don't have to worry about it anymore——"

Who knows, this time Su Jia seems to really have something important to worry about, the expression on her face gradually converged, and her tone began to be serious: "If you want to talk about your heart, I really have it, but it's not because I'm unhappy......"

"Huh?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but wonder when he heard Su Jia's calm tone.

Su Jia looked at the calm river, remembered the battle during the day, and couldn't help asking, "Seriously...... You say, what is the idea of the Uliang Todo, and why did he choose to withdraw his troops?"

"Do you need to talk about this?" Xiao Tian felt that it was nothing, so he simply said, "Of course he ran away if he couldn't beat it—our army was outflanked from the flank, and he Wuliang Tuoduo saw that this was an encirclement, and if he didn't retreat in time, wouldn't he be wiped out on the river?"

"But why did he withdraw to Xiangyang?" Su Jia continued, "Wuliang Tuoduo is well versed in the way of using troops, he knows that Xiangyang can't be defended, and sooner or later he will abandon the city to preserve his strength, but at this time, he still retreats to Xiangyang, why...... I always felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy in Ura Todo......"

"Conspiracy? maybe......" Xiao Tian's mind gradually cleared up, and he slowly responded, "But militarily, we now have an advantage, as long as we work together, he will not be able to make a small Wuliang Tuoduo, Jia'er, don't worry too much......"

"I hope that's good......" Su Jia replied softly, but looking at the rapidly flowing river on the river, she was secretly worried......

In the cabin of the main ship of the water camp, after the celebration banquet, Tang Zhan sobered up a little and re-cared about the affairs of the water army......

"Newspaper—" At this moment, the guards outside the cabin suddenly reported coming.

"What's the matter?" Tang Zhan saw that there was a sudden report at this time, and he was afraid that there was something unusual in the Wuliang Tuoduo army, so he asked intently.

"Report to the General—" the guard handed forward a letter, 1510, "the enemy's messenger has come and sent a letter to the General—"

"Present the letter—" Tang Zhan did not hesitate and ordered directly.

"Yes—" The soldier handed the letter to Tang Zhan and left the cabin......

Tang Zhan carefully opened the letter, only to see that you were an "invitation letter"-

Under the admiration of the general's wisdom, tonight, the junction of the two armies and water camps meet for a while, if you have the courage to strategize, come by canoe!

——

It is the epistle of Urliang Todo. It seems that this is not just an "invitation letter", but more like a war letter given to him by Uliang Todo, but they meet for a while as an envoy.

"Hmph, Wuliang Tuoduo wants to invite me to Jiang for a while, so he is also worthy of courage?" Tang Zhan finished reading the letter, smiled coldly, and then said, "If you really want to call me, I want to see if you have the courage to do so......"

After speaking, Tang Zhan took out a pen and paper from the front of the case and drafted a letter, which seemed to be written in return to Wuliang Todo......

After about a moment, Tang Zhan sealed the letter and said to the guards outside the cabin: "Someone-"

"What's the matter, General?" asked the guard as he entered the cabin.

"Order the messenger to hand over this letter to the enemy's water camp, and the main general Uliang Todo is in the hands of-" Tang Zhan really wanted to send back the letter to Uliang Todo.

"Yes, General—" The guard took the letter and arranged for the messenger to go...... (To be continued.) )
