The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

Liao Shiyu frowned,

"There are water bandits in Qujiang River? Why not destroy them?"

King Xihou smiled bitterly and said:

"The water in Qujiang River is dangerous, and those water thieves build their nests in dangerous places. If they are defeated, they will move to another place. They come and go without a trace. They are really endless!"

Liao Shiyu pondered,

"The current split is only in name. It won't affect deterring them, right?"

King Xihou said:

"This, although this is theoretically true, once the army is split up, people's hearts will be disturbed, which will greatly affect the combat effectiveness!"

Any nominal split, this kind of enfeoffment must be announced to the public and reported to the emperor. Once it is decided, can he go back on it?

Before the boss can deal with the other two, this kind of thing will naturally be delayed as long as possible.

He didn't believe that this person named Liao would always be so idle. It would be best to wait until he takes the initiative to leave, until the emperor's attention is greatly reduced, and then he can deal with it casually.

"How many water bandits are there?" Liao Shiyu asked again.

King Xihou touched his beard,

"This, there are about three thousand people."

There are more than three thousand water bandits, which is already a lot!

Liao Shiyu said angrily:

"As a prince, what are your intentions in allowing the water thief to take over?"

King Xihou was dissatisfied and said:

"I don't want to do that either! But it's difficult to suppress bandits on the water. In addition, these people are too cunning and familiar with water, so they can't be completely eliminated. That's why we let them get away so far."

Liao Shiyu had a sullen face,

"Then we'll fight again! I'll personally help!"

King Xihou was startled, and the squinting eyes on his fat face couldn't help but look at the other person again and again.

This is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!

He has never seen such an imperial envoy.

"Ahem, Mr. Liao is an important official of the imperial court. It is not advisable to personally take risks. Don't worry, I am already making preparations. I must attack these water thieves severely and eradicate them in one fell swoop!"

Liao Shiyu:

"Your Majesty does not need to worry about my safety."

King Xihou still hesitated,

"Well, it should be noted that swords and guns have no eyesight, let alone water battles, which are even more dangerous. Master Liao can just wait for the news at home, why bother? If there is an accident and the emperor blames it, I will not be able to speak easily!"

Liao Shiyu said:

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything more. If something happens to me, I can't blame you."

King Xihou pondered for a long time,

"If you insist on doing this, it's useless for me to persuade you, so let's set off together after all the necessary matters are ready!"

Liao Shiyu resigned.

After he left, King Xihou still sat in silence. After a while, he called Song Kuai.

King Xihou first showed him the secret letter.

Song Kuai was shocked after reading it, "This, Kong Fu is actually dead? Are they mistaken?"

"How could anyone get this kind of thing wrong!"

King Xihou waved his hand and continued, "It seems that Liao Shiyu was most likely responsible for destroying the secret talks. What a brilliant move!"

Song Kuai gritted his teeth.

"So, he sent someone to do my assassination?"

King Xihou was noncommittal. Judging from his speculation, this matter is no longer important.

He turned to:

"The man surnamed Liao just came here and urged us to clear out the water bandits. You go and prepare!"

"You want to suppress the bandits?" Song Kuai was stunned for a moment, but then he responded, "Okay, I'll make some preparations first, I can't let the guy named Liao down, I understand!"

King Xihou added another sentence,

"Liao Shiyu will also participate, saying he is helping us."

This time Song Kuai was really stunned.

"He wants to participate? Father, have you promised him?"

King Xihou picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Young people are full of energy, I can't stop them even if I want to!"

A complicated look appeared on Song Kuai's face, and he said slowly:

"Really? Now, bandits can be very dangerous. If there is an eventuality..."

King Xihou looked calm, looking at the eldest son,

"My efforts to persuade him are fruitless, but he insists on going his own way. If anything happens, it's not our fault. You have to watch carefully along the way, and we must be benevolent and righteous! But if he is unlucky, there is nothing we can do It’s not our fault that the emperor wants to blame him for having feet on his body.”

Song Kuai's face suddenly showed excitement,

"Father, my child understands!"

……

"Are you going to suppress bandits?"

Jiang Mingyue was also surprised when she heard the news.

Liao Shiyu explained:

"We can't keep delaying, we must let them speed up the progress. However, this time we have to trouble my wife again."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Mingyue eagerly.

Jiang Mingyue smiled,

"Pretend! How have I never promised you!"

Liao Shiyu smiled and held her in his arms slowly and forcefully.

His wife is so kind to him!

He has helped him countless times and supported him fully no matter what. How could he be so virtuous and capable that he has found such a good wife?

"Daughter-in-law, I must have done great things in my previous life."

Jiang Mingyue also enjoyed this affectionate hug,

But he didn't take his words seriously.

For her, the previous life? In your last life, you were as vicious as a ghost!

All of this has developed to what it is today because of her efforts.

Of course, these are her two lives. For this guy's previous life, maybe it was exactly what he said!

Three days later, King Xihou gathered 10,000 people, led by Song Kuai, to cross the river to clear out the water bandits.

The Qujiang River is very large and long. It not only exists in the Xihou Kingdom, it connects many major cities in Dajing Kingdom and is one of the most important waterways in Dajing.

The boats to cross the river were naturally prepared. They were all relatively large wooden boats. The smallest could carry fifty soldiers, and the largest could number hundreds. Hundreds of boats were traveling on the wide river, cutting through the waves, allowing People have a kind of pride.

Song Kuai stood on the bow of the boat, high-spirited and obviously in a good mood. Along the way, he loudly introduced the scenery along the way to Liao Shiyu, and it seemed that the two of them were on good terms.

At this time, in the palace, King Xihou saw another spy.

This spy was sent by him to Wuling City on the border and has always been there.

It's not that he wants to cause sabotage or anything, but he wants to keep track of the situation at the border at all times.

The spies came to tell King Xihou one by one what happened in Wuling City in the recent period.

King Xihou was shocked when he heard this.

The Duke of Warring States showed great power and defeated the Daxuan Kingdom in a row. This was nothing more. But Liao Shiyu knows magic? What's going on?

"Why didn't you come to report such a big thing earlier, and why did you delay it until now?"

King Xihou looked displeased. He was already preparing to deal with others. He only got the news now. Isn't this an afterthought?

The spy said aggrievedly:

"Your Majesty, after Duke Warring States arrived, the management was very strict. No one in the city was allowed to go out without permission. There were people patrolling the city walls day and night! We once tried to sneak out once, but we were discovered and several people were imprisoned. He went in, but he hasn’t been released yet. It was because the ban was lifted that the young man was able to hurry up and report. "

King Xihou understood that these spies were elites, and there was nothing they could do about it.
