I'm playing tricks in Daqin

The beauty is delicate and angry, and does not have a touching charm. I don't know if Li Wei's soul is out of his body, or something happened suddenly when he got off the horse, and the fierce person stood up, which shocked Li Wei into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and hugged the horse's neck in time, so that he didn't fall on his back.

Both Mingzhu and Zhu'er couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing lowly.

Li Wei hid it with a dry smile, and then shrugged his shoulders. It was all because of your demeanor, and he was very righteous.

It's my fault too?

Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then turned her white phoenix eyes, this person is really... However, she felt her cheeks were hot, but she didn't feel any annoyance in her heart, on the contrary, this kind of frivolous joke made her feel fresh , at least, she felt an indescribable relief.

Hey, how could this be?

Mingzhu doesn't know why she became like this, but she can be sure that she likes this fresh and relaxed feeling, and for a moment, a little bit of confusion can't help showing in her eyes.

They walked slowly all the way, but they were talking and laughing. It didn't take long before the sun went down. Li Wei and his party couldn't enter the town. They just asked his men to go into the town to buy food and other daily necessities, and then set up camp on the flat ground near the small river outside the town.

This order caused a burst of dissatisfaction from Zhen'er, but it made Mingzhu look at her differently. At least in her eyes, Li Wei's behavior of preferring to endure hardships instead of disturbing the people is extremely rare among the second generation of officials.

What made Mingzhu even more happy was that Li Wei ordered his subordinates to build a tent by the river to facilitate Mingzhu and Zhener's shower, which dispelled Zhener's full of complaints.

As night fell, the entire barracks seemed to be covered with a thin layer of black gauze, dim and quiet.

The tired soldiers had already fallen asleep, while Li Wei and Mingzhu stood in the open space, admiring the autumn night scenery.

"What are you looking for?"

The two chatted for a while, and Mingzhu saw him looking around, as if he was looking for something, so she couldn't help asking curiously.

"Flowers."

Li Wei answered while looking around looking for something.

"What are you looking for flowers for?"

Mingzhu froze for a moment, then slightly frowned, how could there be flowers in this place?This fellow clearly did it on purpose, and his heart skipped a beat. He... Li Wei said with a very disappointed expression: "The books say that flowers bloom before the moon, but now there are people and moons, but it's a pity that there are no flowers... "

"..."

Mingzhu couldn't help rolling her white phoenix eyes, this guy was clearly setting up a trap, and she foolishly drilled into it, but she liked this feeling.

The night sky is full of stars, the moonlight is like silver, and the earth is covered with a layer of hazy light and mist, which makes it look extraordinarily peaceful.

Hey, how could I think of these?

A blush could not help but appear on Mingzhu's pretty face. Fortunately, the moonlight was hazy and the vision was blurry, otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.

After flirting with the great beauty of Ming Dynasty, Li Wei's face suddenly became serious. He put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, his face was full of thoughts, and he muttered in his mouth.

Mingzhu was startled, as if she understood his thoughts, she couldn't help holding her breath, for fear of disturbing his ingenuity, her phoenix eyes were shining, full of anticipation.

Chapter 91 Escort Pearl

Mu Yun collected all the overflowing cold.

Yinhan turned the jade plate silently.

This life and this night are not good.

Where to look next year for Mingyue.

"Creation" by Li Wei

The most famous is Su Shi's "Mid-Autumn Moon". Although it is not the eternal swan song of Yongyue, it is also a masterpiece, which is enough to make countless scholars and talented scholars bow down to the ground, and make talented women feel happy and send their eyes away.

"This life and this night are not good, where will the bright moon look next year..."

Mingzhu, who repeatedly recited the poem silently, trembled, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Li Wei, who was looking up at the night sky with his hands behind his back. His phoenix eyes were shining brightly, and then he lowered his eyelids and let out a low sigh.

At this time, all kinds of worries flooded in, and her mind was in a mess, making her feel confused for a while.

"It's getting late, and we have to get up early tomorrow."

Hearing Li Wei's soft voice next to her ear, she responded in a low voice, but she hesitated for a moment, sighed inwardly, then bowed her head and moved towards her tent.

Mingzhu returned to the tent and lay down with all her clothes on, but her eyes were not closed, her mind was still in confusion, and her heart, which was usually calm in the ancient well, had waves of ripples.

In the grass outside the South Camp, three masked men in black were crouching, and their slender figures could be vaguely seen by the hazy moonlight.

They have been crouching here to observe for nearly two hours, but they have not taken any action. The security of the camp is very tight. Even if they can sneak in, they cannot get close to the two large tents in the center. The guards there are even tighter. In a desperate situation.

The three women observed for a while, feeling that the chance of success was too small, so they had no choice but to evacuate and disappear into the vast night.

Nothing happened all night, and at dawn, after everyone had breakfast, they broke camp and set out on the road.

The team was still marching slowly. According to this marching speed, they could reach Luojiaji at most in the evening, but when they were approaching Luojiaji, Li Wei had a sudden whim and ordered everyone to gallop on horseback, and rushed to the small town of Chunyang before dark.

The sudden change caught the assassins who followed secretly by surprise. They spent a lot of thought and did some preparation work in Wujiaji in advance, but it was all in vain.

At noon on the third day, Li Wei and his party arrived at Shaoguan, and immediately arranged warships to escort Mingzhu and others across the river.

Ding Tai, the commander of the Jiayue Navy, drove his own boat, carrying Li Weimingzhu and others across the river, with four large warships flanking the wings.

The warship sailed to the center of the river, slowed down, and waited for the Jin army navy warship on the other side of the river to pick up the people. Ding Tai had sent a small boat to send a guard of Mingzhu across the river first, and informed the other side to pick up the people.

After the war ended, the empires soon opened their borders and resumed business exchanges. The Jin Empire and Jiayue Hongfeng and other naval forces also resumed the previous agreement to collect taxes by planning rivers.

The Nu River originates from the Qingtang Snow Mountains in the north, and flows through the Wei, Qin, Jin and Tang empires. It is an important transportation river between the north and the south. There are many merchant ships going back and forth every day, and it is also one of the main sources of tax revenue for the empires along the river.

At this time, a fleet of merchant ships was going down the river. The river was wide and the waterways were smooth. The sailors on the warships did not pay attention at first, until they found that the fleet was heading towards the center of the river. Two large warships in charge of protecting the wings hurried Turning their heads to meet them, the soldiers on the mast desperately waved the colorful flags, signaling the merchant ships to sail inward to avoid collisions.

Seeing that the merchant ship did not intend to divert or stop the ship at all, the captain in charge of the ship did not hesitate at all, and ordered an attack on the oncoming merchant ship.

Nowadays, all of Jiayue's large warships have removed the cumbersome catapults, and installed rotating thunder cannons with longer ranges on the bow, stern, and tower respectively, allowing them to attack from any direction.

The two thunder cannons on the bows and towers of the two warships fired one after another, and giant arrows as thick as arms roared out. One giant arrow broke the mainmast of the first merchant ship ahead, and the other shot the bow deck. After passing through a big hole, the river quickly poured in, and the merchant ship quickly sank to the bottom of the river.

The surface of the river was full of pieces of wood, but there was no dead body or living sailor floating. Such an abnormal phenomenon made all the sailors look at each other. Could it be that there was no one on board?

Several other merchant ships were still drifting downstream, and the sailors on the two warships could only use their long haws to push the floating merchant ships away. The moment the two ships crossed each other, dozens of figures suddenly jumped out of the merchant ships and landed on the battlefield. on the deck of the ship.

These dozen or so people were male and female, all covered their faces with black scarves, and held all kinds of deadly iron guys in their hands. As soon as they jumped on the warship, they immediately swung their weapons to kill officers and soldiers.

These masked men were extremely skilled in martial arts, and the officers and soldiers on board were caught off guard, and more than [-] of them were cut down as soon as they saw each other.

The Navy of Jiayue Province can be regarded as a powerful force among the navy of all the empires in the mainland. The commander of the navy, Ding Tai, is a mighty general capable of writing and martial arts. His subordinates are all veterans who have experienced many battles. Those twenty or so masked men in black didn't have the slightest advantage, on the contrary they suffered a lot of casualties.

Ding Tai ordered the other two warships to sail forward to support him. His own ship was still moored in the middle of the river, waiting for the naval warships of the Jin army to come to pick them up.

Zhou Bo, the vice-commander of the naval camp, was alarmed by the roaring roar, and he dispatched hundreds of warships, large and small, to the reinforcements.

"what happened?"

Li Wei couldn't help frowning when he found that the speed of the three Jin army naval warships approaching was slower than that of a tortoise.

"Get ready for battle!"

Ding Tai also noticed the abnormality, and ordered the sailors to prepare for battle. The two thunder cannons erected on the bow and the ship tower were quickly loaded with giant arrows, and aimed at the oncoming Jin army warship.

Mingzhu on the Qiaoli boat building looked calm, she couldn't see what she was thinking in her heart at all, while Zhen'er and a group of guards who had low concentration were gnashing their teeth and staring at the oncoming ship, whose speed was not much faster than that of a turtle crawling. The eyes of all the warships on their side were gloomy and cold with murderous intent.

Anyone can see that there is obviously something wrong with those three warships, and they are deliberately delaying time. Could it be that they dare to kill Commander Ming and not be afraid of ransacking their family?

The answer came out quickly. The three Jin army warships approaching suddenly accelerated and attacked Ding Tai's ship at the same time. Three boulders roared into the air, and two of them fell to the river, causing two jets of water to explode. , one of them hit the bow deck, smashing a big hole in the solid and thick deck, and the splinters shot out.

"Attack, weigh anchor and turn left!"

Ding Tai, who was sitting in the ship tower, shouted loudly, and calmly directed his sailors to turn the bow of the ship and head back down the river.

Peng Peng sounded twice, and the two giant arrows shot by the Thunder Cannon pierced through the side of a Jin army warship, shaking it violently, the warship stopped, and the speed of the ship immediately slowed down.

Although Ding Tai reacted quickly, the warship turned around and was immediately approached by two speeding Jin army warships. The Jin army on board fired a wave of rockets, and most of them fell into the river. , a group of guards slapped the falling rockets with their iron swords, but two rockets still hit the sail, which immediately ignited the sail.

"Full steering, speed up!"

Ding Tai roared loudly, this battle is different from previous water battles, the young master is on his government ship, so no accidents can happen, he can only escape as far as possible before the fire ignites the warship.

Water battles, long-distance attacks by trebuchets, close-range fire attacks, and finally hand-to-hand combat on board a ship. The Jiayue sailors also responded with rockets, and soon ignited the sails of a Jin army warship.

Another warship of the Jin army rushed towards it at full speed. A tower-like giant stood on the prow of the ship, holding a chain anchor in both hands and waving.

Chapter 92 Jiangxin interception

Pearl Willow on the Qiaoli boat tower frowned slightly, jumped up abruptly, jumped onto the deck at the stern, stretched out her hand and yelled, "Bow."

A sailor next to him who was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow was startled, and instinctively handed over the longbow in his hand.

Mingzhu took the longbow, drew two arrow feathers from the quiver on his back, put them on the strings, and aimed at the giant iron tower man.

The iron tower-like giant waved the chain anchor in his hand, roared, and threw out the iron chain. The iron anchor flew towards Ding Tai's ship by the inertia of rotation.

At the same time, the sound of humming bowstrings sounded, and Mingzhu shot out the two arrow feathers that were held between her fingers.

The two whistling arrow feathers joined together, and it looked like there was only one. It flew towards the big iron anchor that fell like lightning, and only split into two halfway through the flight, and the other powerful arrow shot at the giant iron tower. Chinese.

With only a few seconds of difference, the Jin army warship suddenly rang out several loud roars, and three figures jumped up from the boat and rushed towards the sky.

"Slave Beware"

One of the masked women in a long black dress screamed, took off the hairpin on her head with her right hand and shot it out.

With a clear sound of ding, the hairpin slammed the powerful arrow aimed at the big iron anchor into the air, and the other powerful arrow pierced the giant man's eyebrows, and the arrow tip pierced through the skull. The boat shook.

With a bang, the big iron anchor that fell from the sky smashed a big hole in the stern deck of Ding Tai's ship.

Li Wei, who was rushing from the ship building to the bow, felt the ship shake violently. The violent shaking made him unable to stand, and he fell to the side. Li Er and Li San reached out to support him in time, and everyone on board was killed. Shocked, several soldiers fell into the river screaming.

Two men and one woman jumped from the air and jumped off the spinning warship almost at the same time. As soon as their feet touched the deck, their weapons were immediately swung out. Several sailors who rushed forward screamed and fell down, or fell into the river. middle.

Mingzhu pulled out her sword from her waist, shouted coquettishly, rushed forward, and stopped a masked man holding a mourning stick. Ding Tai, who was sitting in the boat building, commanded his soldiers to push Li Wei to the bow, and shouted at himself. With a sound, he jumped up, holding the iron gun tightly with both hands, and smashed at another masked man who charged over with the momentum of Mount Tai.

The masked man also roared, and held up the big copper hammer in his hand, and there was a bang, sparks shot out, and Ding Tai's huge body was thrown like a kite with a broken string, and hit the ship building heavily with a bang. On the wall, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and then bounced off the deck, while the iron gun flew off to nowhere.

Ding Tai struggled to get up, but all the strength in his body disappeared out of thin air. The pain in his chest wrinkled his facial features into a ball, and finally he could only gasp heavily, and obediently lay down on the deck.

However, he still grinned widely, and a smile uglier than crying appeared on his pale, bloodless black face.

The big man was worse than him, with blood from his mouth and nose, and half of his body was stuck in the crack of the broken deck, unable to move.

"Give me death!"

Amidst the violent and gloomy shouts, the cold light flickered sharply, blood burst out, and the sailors who killed the big man screamed and flew.

The masked woman in a black dress was extremely fierce. At least 20 sailors died under her sword. Fortunately, the target of her sniping was Mingzhu, and Ding Tai was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. He, let him be lucky to escape.

Zhen'er and a group of guards rushed forward, surrounded the masked woman in a black dress and hacked at them. Several sailors took the opportunity to help Ding Tai up, ran to the side of the boat, jumped into the river, and led him towards the boat. The warship that came from the other party swam away.

At this time, the entire warship was covered in fire, billowing thick smoke, covering the sky and the sun, no one wanted to be burned into a roast pig, no matter whether they could swim or not, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump into the river.

When the warship was turning around, Ding Tai ordered the soldiers around him to put down the small boat and take Li Wei away forcibly. Li Wei didn't expect the situation to become so dangerous. When he knew it was not a nonsense, he completely obeyed Ding Tai's arrangement. Board the dinghy.

The small boat can only hold seven people at most, except for the four sailors who operate the oars, plus him, Li Er and Li San, and all the guards stay on board to resist the enemy.

Most of these men could not swim, but when the fire was spreading and the warship was about to capsize, they used their swords to cut down some horizontal planks and used them as escape tools. With the help of the sailors, no one drowned.

On the warship of the Jin army, several sailors desperately swung their axes to chop the anchor chain. They didn't want to be dragged by the Jiayue warship that was about to capsize and sink to the bottom of the river to be buried with them.

When the anchor chain was finally cut with the sound of explosions, everyone couldn't help cheering excitedly, but they immediately experienced the pain of falling from heaven to hell.

Pengpeng made two loud noises, and two huge arrows as thick as arms whizzed at them, punching two big holes in the plank of the port side of the ship, and the river flooded in wildly, capsizing and sinking soon.

The attack was one of the two warships on the left side of the wings. They were ordered by Ding Tai to turn to reinforce the two warships that were under attack. Suffering a surprise attack, Lin Peng, the captain in charge of the ship, hastily ordered to turn the bow of the ship and return to the voyage.

All this happened almost instantly, and when the warship readjusted its direction, Ding Tai's ship was already in flames and was about to sink.

However, Lin Peng's warship turned around in time, just in time to salvage the soldier Mingzhu Zhen'er floating on the river and a group of guards, including Ding Tai who suffered internal injuries, and was dragged onto the boat by his soldiers.

The four sailors on the small boat wanted to paddle directly and send Li Wei to the fleet that was approaching at full speed by Zhou Bo, the deputy commander of the navy, but Li Wei was worried about Mingzhu, so he ordered the sailors to turn the bow and approach Lin Peng's warship. boarded the warship.

Mingzhu and Zhen'er were dragged onto the warship by soldiers one after another. Li Wei sent the cloak at the right time, which made Mingzhu's heart warm, and Zhen'er saw him more and more pleasing to the eye.

The two women were drenched all over and felt extremely uncomfortable, Li Wei hurriedly ordered someone to take them into the cabin.

The river was full of people, and the sailors were busy salvaging them. One sailor threw the long rope out, let the people in the water catch it, and then dragged it aboard. A soldier just reached out to grab the rope, and suddenly felt a pain in his back. He screamed to let go, and sank into the river in a blink of an eye.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged woman reached out and grabbed the long rope. The sailor on the ship was startled, and suddenly felt the long rope tighten in his hand. He instinctively grabbed it and dragged it back.

With a crash, the middle-aged woman used her strength to jump high from the middle of the river, and jumped towards the boat building.

Another ferocious-looking strong man also jumped onto the bow from the other side, slashed at the surrounding soldiers with his sword, and desperately went to the ship building, obviously protecting the middle-aged woman.

The guards on the boat tower were divided into three groups, one group protected Li Wei to retreat, one group blocked the strong man who came up, and the other group surrounded the middle-aged woman who jumped up.

The martial arts of the middle-aged woman were not only powerful, but also extremely strange. In the blink of an eye, three guards were hit by the sword and fell down screaming.

She clearly saw Li Wei's aloof identity, she charged towards Li Wei with her sword straightened out, four guards raised their swords to intercept him, the middle-aged woman pierced through the sword net with her strange figure, and stabbed a man down with her backhand guard.
