So much money so generous, you should have said earlier! "Brother Ba immediately recognized current affairs as Junjie, and Chickie Peckmi nodded: "It's a deal, brothers, do you have any comments?" "

The answer is naturally no.

"But the money is not given for nothing." Gongsun Lu raised his eyebrows: "We have to take good care of all the bullies on the boat. They must eat and drink well."

"Sleep on a soft bed." Yun Li said.

"There is hot water for bathing every day." Li Jinsha was also unceremonious: "It would be nice to have some seafood."

"The requirement is a little higher, but it must not be difficult for you to have this money." Lian Heng said frankly, "Go and get all the things we need at the next stop, by the way, don't forget to buy some Incense, as well as pens, inks, papers and inkstones, my master will be bored on the boat."

"Of course, of course, absolutely possible!" Brother Ba nodded repeatedly.

"Gentlemen, let us go!"

"We will serve you as cows and horses!"

"It's hard to chase after a good man's word, and we are also floating in the rivers and lakes, so we will never break our word!"

For a while, all kinds of flattery and flattery were like a rain of flowers, louder than the sound of the tide.

"Okay, okay." Gongsun Lu's ears felt callused, and when he pulled the rope with his hand, it all loosened.

Those boatmen were also knowledgeable, and with Ba Ge taking the lead, he immediately bowed respectfully and politely to the five of them: "Thank you for not killing me!"

He spoke quickly and acted quickly, but he saw that the boatmen immediately divided up their duties: the one who steered the helm, the one who caught the fish caught the fish, and the one who lit the fire lit the fire, and Ba Ge disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Heng, I'll go back to my room and put away my luggage." Yun Liyan calmly glanced at Mo Qiaozhi to signal.

"Master~ I'll accompany you." Lian Heng didn't want to leave Yunli for a moment, so he happily followed Yunli and Mo Qiaozhi to leave.

The sailors were all working outside, but the cabin was quiet. Yunli and Mo Qiaozhi turned left and right in the cabin with gloomy faces, and Lian Heng who was following them was a little strange, why the two of them were suddenly as cold as ice.

Finally, Yunli and Mo Qiaozhi stopped in a small corner cabin, covered their breath, and looked at the movement inside through the crack of the door. There were actually four spiritual seats inside—the seat of Nangong Yi, the seat of Su Niang, and the seat of Nangong He. The position of Nangong Xiao and the position of Nangong Xiao.I saw that Brother Ba, who was still very dissolute just now, was kneeling devoutly in front of the four spirit tablets, offering incense and paying homage.

Lian Heng looked at the scene inside in astonishment. In this way, Brother Ba is inextricably linked with the Nangong family. He set his eyes on Yunli, who was expressionless, but his eyes were magnificent.

"Sir, we will make plans on this matter when we return to Mirage City." Mo Qiaozhi said in a deep voice.

"Well, Uncle Mo, let's go rest." Yun Li nodded.

Lian Heng didn't say a word, he gently held Yunli's hand and led him away, this moment is not the best time to go in and get to know each other, there are too many uncertainties, they can only turn a blind eye.

The two walked into a cabin in silence, and after putting away the luggage, Lian Heng hesitated and said, "Master...you recognized him from the beginning?"

"He was the housekeeper of the Nangong family, Gao Fu."

The sea is cold and boneless, and the big ship rides the wind and waves, all the way northward, and it is uncertain whether it will be good or bad.

Early March of Tianchang

There are frequent reports from the Great China North that the vanguard army led by Wei Xun was severely injured by General Wen Er Wu Ning of the Huns.Now the Dahua army has not only been unable to enter the territory of the Xiongnu for a long time, but is also surrounded by the enemy. The supply is short, the food and grass are insufficient, and the morale has plummeted. In order to ask for reinforcements.

The genius of the early spring is dim, the drums of the early court have not yet sounded, and the court hall is solemn, only a few courtiers who arrived early, as if they are making the last elegy for the precarious Dahua Dynasty.

When the silence reached suffocation, Gongsun Lu followed Gongsun Jing into the hall, his light gray eyes reflected the majestic but lonely hall.He has rarely come here in the past 21 years, because the cumbersome political affairs have never been to his liking, and the solemn and depressing place also made him feel depressed. Today, under Gongsun Jing's order, he came to this palace, saying that it is time for him, an idle son, to participate. political affairs.

Walking past the stone lion in front of the door and stepping on the stone steps in the center of the hall, Gongsun Lu suddenly saw the glazed tiles on the Qinzheng Hall, which shaded the Tingyu Pavilion in the north under the faint morning sun. Blooming orchid flowers.

"Lu'er, this is the Palace of Qinzheng. Don't be joking around in the court for a while. If the queen mother asks about you, she must be careful about what she says."

Gongsun Lu didn't change his face, he seemed to listen to it, but he didn't seem to listen to anything, but his answer was not as good as before: "Lu'er understands, father."

The golden light gradually dyed the depression in Qinzheng Hall, like candles were lit one after another, reflecting the bright and warm, swallowing up the boundless darkness.He followed Gongsun Jing into here, stood quietly among the ministers, and smiled ambiguously at the people who came and went, no matter what their expressions were, as if this was not Qinzheng Palace, but Bian Ling's. A bustling street.

When the time comes, the emperor is in place, the queen mother draws down the curtain, and today's court affairs begin.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the northern border is in an emergency, and I am asking for reinforcements from the DPRK and China!" Ruan Po spoke first with concern, and everyone who heard it was moved by his deep feelings.

"Of course the Ai family knows. They also sent Zheng Shao there a few days ago. Why do they need support now?" Nangong Ling frowned.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the Huns also have many reinforcements, and their strength is fierce. The soldiers are all cruel and good at fighting. I'm afraid our army will be invincible!" Ruan Po was heartbroken.

Nangong Ling's hands on her knees trembled slightly, and her tone was sullen and unbelievable: "Why is my Dahua's army so vulnerable? On weekdays... how do you generals lead troops?"

"Your Majesty, calm down," An Xuansu replied with ease, "the generals have done their duty, but I think the army has not fought for a long time, and it is too late to fight a battle with fierce soldiers like the Huns."

"My Dahua army is no less than that of the Xiongnu, why can't I defeat it?" Nangong Ling has never been familiar with military affairs, and at this moment she is also annoyed and irritable.

"Back to the Empress Dowager," Ruan Po hurriedly said, "This time, a young general sent by the Xiongnu belongs to the Wu Ning clan of the Xiongnu. The veteran has never heard of it before. Unexpectedly, he is so brave and cunning..."

Gongsun Lu was startled, and Wen Er's face couldn't help appearing in his mind.He looked at Gongsun Jing, but he also looked worried when he saw him.

"Wu Ning?" Nangong Ling suddenly thought of He: "Is this the clan that Princess Jing belongs to?"

Gongsun Jing had been prepared for a long time and said: "Go back to your mother, after the death of the princess, the king will no longer have contact with the Wu Ning clan."

"Go back to your mother," Chen Zuqian also helped: "Marrying a daughter is like splashing water, and she is already old, so there will be no contact."

"Since that's the case," Ling Tun also said, "Now the army should be supplied with supplies and reinforcements should be sent to boost morale!"

Nangong Ling sighed: "This force... the Ai family has already dispatched Zheng Shao, if we send more troops now, I am afraid the court will be empty."

"Your Majesty, why did you say that?" Gongsun Jing said slowly, "Don't forget that there is a reclusive Tiger Explosive Army in the court. When our ancestors conquered the country, this army contributed a lot. After the founding of the country, the Explosive Tiger Army retired and did not care about political affairs. And give the tiger talisman to the ancestor emperor, see the tiger talisman, the whole army will protect the country, now you only need to use the tiger talisman to order them to attack the Xiongnu!"

"All the lovers also know that half of the tiger charm is here at Ai's house, and the other half is at General Cheng's place. General Cheng has passed away, and half of the tiger charm has not been recovered. Now there is only half of the tiger charm. !" Nangong Ling mourned, as if she was heartbroken over the loss of the tiger talisman.

"It doesn't matter," Gongsun Jing replied; "The empress dowager can also try to mobilize half of the tiger talisman, and with the power of all the court officials, she will definitely be able to launch the explosive tiger army!"

"Prince Jing is right!" Huang Tao also had plausible words: "With the power of Dahua's explosive tiger army, no matter how cunning General Wu Ning is, he is invincible!"

An Xuansu's eyes changed slightly, and he also said, "Now the Xiongnu are staring at them like a tiger. If we don't send strong troops to repel them, it may be insulting to the prestige of the Great China, and the Explosive Tiger Army will surely achieve this result."

All the ministers immediately agreed with this proposal, but the queen mother behind the curtain did not say a word.

Gongsun Lu looked at the beaded curtain motionless, but saw that the hand holding the material was faintly visible when it was shaken, and the long and narrow nails were almost bleeding from the flesh, so he couldn't help frowning thoughtfully.

After a long time, Nangong Ling finally said: "What all the lovers said has a certain truth, but this time the Explosive Tigers are the Royal Guards, and they must not be deployed lightly. Now it is just a small disturbance on the border of the Huns, and it is not the end; two and a half The mobilization of block tiger talismans is really against the ancestral precepts and is not proper."

"Going back to the Empress Dowager, that's not the case." Ruan Po said: "The Xiongnu has always been aggressive and aggressive. If General Wu Ning gains power this time, I don't know what he will do next!"

"Yes, empress dowager," Huang Tao also said, "and now that the new king of the Xiongnu has just been established, it should be said that the regime has not yet been stabilized, but with such a strong army, in the future..."

"Although the ancestor's instruction is the ancestor's instruction, but now the country is in trouble, why can't it be accommodated?"

"All the loves are very reasonable. Why doesn't the queen mother agree?" The crisp and immature voice sounded, it was Gongsun Ke who was only ten years old on the dragon chair.But seeing him looking at Nangong Ling behind the curtain in bewilderment, there was long suppressed dissatisfaction in his light gray eyes.

"Aijia thinks," Nangong Ling turned a deaf ear to his questioning, and said in a deep voice, "You can send General Chu Lu to protect the country, and the Explosive Tiger Army will stay in the palace to prevent the danger of being hollow. After all, the situation will be revealed before it is clear. The last line of defense is really too reckless.
