The baby is all there, the princess is still in the routine

Chapter 39 "Brother Changle..." Xiao Li feels...

"Island owner, it's been ten days! Those navy troops only surrounded the island and didn't attack. They obviously wanted to trap us to death."

Someone suggested to Heyu, "Their equipment is worse than ours, let's fight them neatly!"

Yinhai is easy-going Yuyu's brother who has been through life and death for many years, and he is regarded as the third in command on the island.

He suggested: "The enemy's situation is unknown, why don't I take a group of ships to test the details first."

Besieged all the time, sooner or later there will be food and water shortages.

He Yu agreed to Yin Hai's suggestion, asking him to lead 1000 people and [-] warships, and first test it out with Xiao Li and others.

The Yinhai Yeyue set sail, fought with the navy, and a few cannons sounded, and the sea quickly returned to silence.

He Yuzheng was puzzled, and someone rushed to report: "It's not good! It's not good! Yinhai led his brothers to join the enemy!!"

Heyu turned pale with shock, never expecting that his brothers for many years would betray him in an instant.

When Xiao Li released Huiji back to the island, he also released a dozen or so monks who could talk.Hui Ji never surrendered, and his performance was fierce, so the attention of the water bandits was on him.

Little did they know that other monks who had not been noticed had already been instigated by Xiao Li.

Xiao Li treated them with courtesy, and Xiaozhi moved them with emotion and reason, promised them a safe and worry-free promise, and gave them money to eat and drink for the rest of their lives.

Bandit leaders like Huiji and Heyu naturally enjoy the glory and wealth, and even seldom leave the island to participate in plundering.

Not everyone, like them, thinks that the island is a paradise.

The bandits at the bottom are often in danger of their lives, especially the gang of fake monks in Lingshan Temple.

They are not isolated from the world, and they often communicate with people on the shore, so they will not be brainwashed by the words of Heyu Xanadu.

Compared with other water bandits living on the island, they are more frightened. In addition, they have to bear the danger of being blown to death if they are not careful when making gunpowder.

The dozen or so rebellious monks returned to the island, and according to Xiao Li's order, they searched for the upper-level administrators and set up a bridge for Xiao Li.

Yinhai is one of them.He was also a subordinate of King Anding, who once saved his life on the battlefield.

Under the cover of night, Yinhai came to Xiao Li's camp in a small boat. After some persuasion by Xiao Li, Yinhai decided to surrender.

By going to war, 1000 people were pulled back and nearly half of the weapons on the island were taken away.

This is Xiao Li's second move, internal disintegration.

After Yinhai left, the water bandits became restless, and more people became traitors.

Before Heyu could react, more than 1000 people stole ships and surrendered under the cover of night, taking away more than a dozen warships.

He Yu immediately organized the water bandits to fight back, Xiao Li ordered the water army to stop the intrusion, and successfully took the more than 1000 people and more than a dozen ships to himself.

With the addition of this group of people, the navy is more familiar with the sea terrain and has a good grasp of the deployment of the island.

Overnight, Heyu lost 2000 people, more than [-] ships, and half of his gunpowder equipment.

His heart sank slightly, and he quickly made a judgment, ordering all the defectors and their family members who stayed on the island to be executed, and the bodies were thrown into the sea, where they were bitten by the fish, so that the betrayers could see what would happen.

Blood stained the sea around the island.Two thousand returnees broke down and cried when they saw the bodies of their families being bitten and swallowed by sharks. Many of them jumped into the sea and committed suicide.

Xiao Li never expected He Yu to be so cold-blooded and cruel.

The people on the island dare not disagree anymore, they either win or die, there are only two ways to go.Years of combat experience made He Yu clear that this battle cannot be dragged on, and must be done at once.

He gathered more than [-] men, and all the warships and artillery were fully equipped, and they were densely packed on the sea to meet the enemy.

But he didn't expect the sky.The wind and rain came suddenly, the sea was turbulent, and the thick mist obscured the sight.

They couldn't see each other's warship layout clearly, and the effectiveness of gunpowder was greatly reduced.

Every May and June, it is the rainy season.Xiao Li deliberately dragged the war to May Rain.With the help of the wind and rain, you chase me to escape, you stop me to fight, start a war of attrition, this is Xiao Li's third step of plan.

After fighting like this for more than half a month, the two sides actually exchanged fire less than ten times, and all of them were unilaterally output by He Yu. Xiao Li led the water army to fight and retreat.

After a wave of fighting, more than half of Heyu's weapons were consumed, and his personnel were exhausted. However, because Xiao Li's navy was backed by land, the supply and personnel rotation were extremely good, so they didn't feel any fatigue.

After dragging and dragging, the new warship was finally ready, and all the soldiers were very excited.

The warden of the capital was tired of fighting the endless war of attrition for more than a month.

He said excitedly: "My lord, we can finally have a big fight! This month has suffocated me, and the battle is not enjoyable at all."

Xiao Li's eyes were like knives, and he sternly reprimanded: "Wars are not for fun! The lives of soldiers are extremely precious at any time. To win with the least casualties is the basic quality of a general, not to be aggressive."

"Yes!" The head of the Weidu was overwhelmed by these words, and he admired Xiao Li even more.

Xiao Li adopted a steady and steady strategy, dragging the Heyu ship around all the time, splitting the tail, encircling and nibbling.

Disarm and surrender can be exempted from guilt, and if you resist stubbornly, you will be annihilated in one fell swoop without mercy.

The Heyu camp was dragged down less and less, with fewer deaths and more deaths, and fewer casualties among the navy soldiers, less than 30 people.

In the end, there were less than 500 people left in Heyu, who were besieged in the sea.

The large troops have already landed on the island and picked up the old, young, women and children on board.Heyu's Peach Blossom Land turned into an empty dream.

Xiao Li shouted loudly: "The survivors will not be killed! Don't go your own way with the general."

Knowing that there was no possibility of victory, Heyu and Huiji sighed and replied: "We are worthy of this life to be defeated by the son of King Anding."

After all, the two threw themselves into the sea, fulfilling their oath and never surrendering to Da Zhou.

The coach is gone, and the rest raise the white flag to surrender.

Xiao Li's heart is full of sympathy, maybe being buried in the sea is not the best ending for He Yu and the others.

He kept his promise, and those who surrendered would not be killed. The water bandits were dealt with lightly for their previous crimes. Most of the refugees took boats and sent them to northern Xinjiang by water, where they were handed over to their father for settlement.

From the beginning of spring to Lin'an, four months passed in a blink of an eye, and midsummer came, and the heat was hot and muggy.

After Xiao Li dealt with the follow-up, he hesitated again and again, knocked on Ning Changle's door, and asked softly with anticipation: "Brother Changle, the Lin'an matter is over, follow me back to the capital."

Ning Changle leaned against the door frame and said with a half-smile: "Why should I go back to Beijing? Didn't you say that there is no shortage of a collaborator like me?"

"No, no, no. How can I leave my brother? If it wasn't for Brother Changle's money and efforts, I would definitely not be able to solve the water bandits. Brother Changle is my most important partner."

Xiao Li pulled Ning Changle's sleeve pitifully, and said with a shy face: "Brother Changle, look, how much money you have invested in me. As a businessman, you can't do business at a loss, right?"

Ning Changle remained silent, seeing that Xiao Li was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead broke out, he lowered his head and chuckled, "I've lost my money a long time ago."

Before Xiao Li heard the true meaning of his words, he pointed to the sky and swore: "I will never let you lose money. I have also shown a hand in front of you, I believe that my strength will definitely be able to..."

"There's a lot of nonsense." Ning Changle glanced at him and said with a smile, "The carriage has been arranged, and the things have been packed. Let's go."

Ning Changle opened the door and strode out.

Jiu'an carried the package on his back and followed closely behind. When he passed Xiao Li who was stunned, he rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said mockingly: "My lord is very good at fighting, but it's a pity that he's an elm lump."

"Huh?" Xiao Li pointed at Jiu'an's back and said to Qing Mu, "How dare your wooden girl say that this king is an elm lump?!"

"Em lumps." Qing Mu nodded in agreement, feeling very disappointed.The prince wants to catch up with the princess, but he doesn't know how many more summers it will take.

Several people left the Ning Mansion, Li Zhizhou, the head of the Weidu and other officials, as well as Fan Shidong had been waiting for a long time.

They all came to say goodbye, especially the head of the capital, the nine-foot man burst into tears: "My lord, take me away, I still want to learn from you."

Xiao Li smiled nonchalantly, wrapped his arms around the shoulder of the head of the guard, and whispered: "Don't report the saltpeter mine in Lingshan Temple to the imperial court."

"I understand, I didn't report it."

I heard that Turkic has recently changed a new king, and they are quite dissatisfied with the previous peace covenant between the two countries. The situation in northern Xinjiang has become tense and unpredictable.

The prince didn't even have time to rest for two days, so he rushed to the capital without stopping.

The head of the Weidu has long been familiar with the prince's disrespect for the law, and speculates that the prince wants to leave the saltpeter mine for the war in northern Xinjiang.

The head of the Weidu rubbed his big hands: "Don't worry, my lord, I will make arrangements for you. If you need it, a boat will be transported there for you."

As a general, he couldn't stand barbarians occupying the land of Da Zhou and humiliating the people of Da Zhou the most.

Xiao Li patted the shoulder of Chief Wei Du in relief.

Lin'an is where the mouth of the Yuan River, the great river that runs through the land of the Great Zhou, enters the sea.

The Yuan River traverses the north and the south, and the boat transported by the Yuan River can save more than ten times the land journey, and quickly reach the nearest state and county to the northern border.

Therefore, although Lin'an and Beijiang are far apart, one south and one north, it is very convenient to transport firearms and equipment.

He arranged the gunpowder, and when he looked up, he saw Fan Shidong smiling obsequiously at Ning Changle, and his heart choked.

"I am really lucky to have met Young Master Fan." Xiao Li separated the two of them, squinting his eyes and showing a sinister smile with fangs.

Fan Shidong trembled, turned around and took a chubby little baby from his wife's arms, and said with a smile: "My lord, the youngest son I have just added to you, I haven't got a name yet, please give me a name from your lord."

Xiao Li couldn't believe it: "Are you married?"

"Yes, I have already married a wife and have seven children. I specially brought them here today, so as to gain insight and see the majesty of the prince." Fan Shidong said.

He was really afraid that the prince would regard him as a rival in love, so he quickly took this opportunity to clarify.

It was only then that Xiao Li discovered that Fan Shidong was surrounded by six children, like a row of high and low gourds, all of them were smart and cute.

Xiao Li laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy, took the baby from Fan Shidong's arms, and brought it to Ning Changle, shaking it in a decent way.

"Changle, look! What a cute child. Pink and tender, chubby, do you like it?"

Ning Changle stretched out his fingers and poked the child's tender cheeks, and the little dimples he poked out bounced back like steamed buns just out of the pan.

The little baby is not afraid of people, its big round eyes are bent, and it shows a big smile, which hits Ning Changle's heart.

Ning Changle unconsciously showed a knowing and gentle smile.

Xiao Li smiled and said: "Brother Chang Le must be a good father."

Ning Changle's eyes turned cold, she withdrew her hand, and said coldly, "I have no intention of being a father."

Xiao Li's smile froze in place, rubbed his cheek against the baby lonely, and returned the baby to Fan Shidong.

"Heqing Haiyan, Shihe Suifeng. Let's call him 'Yanhe'."

Fan Shidong happily responded: "Fan Yanhe, what a name! Thank you, my lord."

Several people got into the carriage and heard that the prince who had defeated the water bandits was going back to Beijing. Along the street, common people lined up and threw flowers and fruits onto the carriage.

A peach came in from the car curtain and almost hit Zhongning Changle, but Xiao Li caught it just in time.

The peaches are rosy and plump.Xiao Li turned out the kettle, cleaned the peaches with water, and raised his hand to Ning Changle's mouth.

Ning Changle lowered his head and took a bite. It tasted sweet and was about to take it back in his hand, but Xiao Li pulled his hand back, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and said with a smile, "Peach taste is sweeter."

"I won't eat." Ning Changle scolded.

cough cough.Jiu An coughed twice, indicating that there were still people in the carriage.

Xiao Li smiled complacently, Ning Changle was thin-skinned, with flushed cheeks, and picked up the tea as if covering up.

Jiu An said with a dull face: "I'll go see if Qing Mu was crushed to death by enthusiastic people?"

After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain and went out, leaving Xiao Li and Ning Changle alone.

Xiao Li moved closer to Ning Changle's side, their clothes touching each other.He ate the peaches one bite at a time, and asked with a smile: "If you go back to the capital with me, the business here will not be delayed, will it?"

Ning Changle said: "Feng Steward was the shopkeeper of the rice grain store before. With him around, there will be no problems, and he will report in letters."

"I'll come back with you after the autumn harvest, so as not to make any mistakes." Xiao Li said thoughtfully. With 60 deniers of grain, it is very troublesome to harvest and transport.

etc?transport!

Xiao Li had a flash of inspiration, and asked in disbelief: "Could you be preparing military supplies for me?"

60 deniers of grain were transported to northern Xinjiang by the Yuanhe River, but it took only a few days.In case he really rebelled from northern Xinjiang, the delivery of military supplies will get twice the result with half the effort, and there will be no worries.

Ning Changle calmly sipped his tea and said, "I've built several rice granaries in Fengchi, and I'm just waiting for the autumn harvest."

Fengchi, isn't it the county closest to northern Xinjiang?Freight in Northern Xinjiang basically has to go through Fengchi.

Xiao Li secretly annoyed himself for being stupid, why he couldn't figure this out.

During the months when Ning Changle left Beijing, he worked hard to plan for him.

"Brother Changle..." Xiao Li was so moved that he couldn't speak, he didn't know what to say.

Ning Changle raised the corners of his lips, and touched the peach in Xiao Li's hand with a teacup: "Otherwise, how can you be your most important partner?"

He always remembered that Xiao Li said that he was dispensable as a collaborator.He, Ning Changle, would never want to be underestimated.

Ning Changle laughed recklessly, as if a light was shining on her body.

Xiao Li stared blankly, his heart beating like a drum, unable to calm down for a long time.

Several people traveled day and night, and returned to the capital three days later.

Xu Bo received the news and greeted him at the gate of Prince An's Mansion.

Seeing Ning Changle, Xu Bo's eyes were moist instantly, he looked up and down and said: "I lost weight. I haven't come home for so long in Lin'an Mansion, but this old man is worried to death."

What Xiao Li said to the outside world was that Ning Changle's relatives passed away, and he went back to his hometown to wear mourning.Except for Xu Bo and Qing Mu who knew the truth, the people in the house didn't know the truth.

"Uncle Xu, you are getting old, and the princess has obviously gained weight." Qing Mu said with a curled lip.

Xu Bo gave him a white look: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Ning Changle said with a smile: "Let Uncle Xu worry, everything is fine in Changle."

Uncle Xu: "Princess has worked hard all the way, go to the mansion to rest."

"and many more!"

Hua Xian'er, who also got the news, held up her dress, swaying her steps, and rushed over in strides.

She grabbed Ning Changle's wrist, glared at Xiao Li angrily, and said domineeringly: "Changle has reconciled with the prince, so don't bother the mansion, come back to Huaxianzhai with me."

Ning Changle didn't mention this matter with Aunt Hua, he turned his head to look at Jiu'an.

The girl Jiu An must have told Aunt Hua.

Since he tore up Jiu An's contract of selling herself last time and persuaded her to make up her own mind, this little girl has become more ambitious.

Jiuan watched his nose, nose and heart carefully, with a wooden face as usual.In fact, she told Aunt Hua on purpose.

It took four months for the prince to come to Lin'an to find his master, not to mention, during the four months in Lin'an, he was busy with water bandits every day, so he didn't care about his master at all, and he was eager to get out of bed.

So is the master.Every pile, every piece, is all for the prince's sake.As soon as the prince spoke, he obediently came back with others.How can this work?The days to come must not be manipulated by the prince.

Xiao Li became anxious, grabbed Ning Changle's other wrist, and said, "Whoever said to make peace, we didn't make peace at all."

"Where is the Heli book? Changle took it out! It's written in black and white, and you still want to deny it! It's too late to regret it now!" Hua Xian'er was indignant, "Don't think that we in Changle have no elders to bully, I am Changle's aunt You will never be allowed to bully."

Xu Bo persuaded: "Auntie Changle, don't be angry, the husband and wife are at odds, whether they are in harmony or not, let's pass it."

"Chang Le, take out He Li Shu, we have to discuss an explanation today!" Hua Xian'er was very angry and never let it go.

Ning Changle had no choice but to take out and leave the book from his arms.He also wanted to see how Xiao Li had the face to say that they did not get along.

Hua Xian'er took He Li's book and held it in front of Xiao Li: "Look, is this your name! Your seal! Do you still want to deny it?!"

Xiao Li sneered: "Uncle Xu, look, is it my handwriting? Is it my usual name stamp?"

Xu Bo took a closer look and smiled happily: "Oh, there must be a misunderstanding here. The little prince's writing is not like this, and neither is the name stamp."

Ning Changle's eyes sank slightly: "I've seen Xiao Li's handwriting, and Xiao Li's handwriting is like this."

Xu Bo explained: "The princess doesn't know something. The little prince loves calligraphy. For a certain period of time, if he likes a certain handwriting, he will always guard against writing, so the handwriting often changes and cannot be done accurately. Only the handwriting of the signature and seal is fixed, but It’s not this kind of cursive script, but wild cursive. It’s not the same as Li Shu.”

Ning Changle had indeed never seen Xiao Li's signature and seal.

"Xiao Li, you are playing with me!" Ning Changle became angry, thinking of him keeping He Lishu next to him day and night, thinking of how much he felt sorry for Xiao Li, the more he thought about it, the more he felt ridiculous.

The daughter-in-law was really angry.Extremely angry.

Xiao Li hurriedly said: "Brother Changle, listen to my explanation... I just want you to let go of all burdens, not for..."

Ning Changle was furious and interrupted Xiao Li: "Don't call me brother again! Aunt Hua, Jiu'an, let's go!"

He flung his sleeves away and said harshly: "If you don't write it, I'll write it. He Lishu will be sent to your mansion some other day."
