Chapter 113 Chapter Eleven: Meeting of Tranquility

Chapter 11: Meeting of Tranquility in the Northern Han Dynasty, Part Four Jiang Haitao, Hou Zhesi of the East China Sea, good at water warfare, loyal and brave, Taizong loved him like his own son. In the second year of Longsheng Dayong, he led all the people from the East China Sea to surrender to Yong. Matched with the Yue family, he has a virtuous name, but his nature is strict. It is said that the public has a disease in the east of the river, and the Yue family is rich in talents, or some people say that the public should be in charge of all the memorials and documents. "History of Yong.Biography of Jinghai

In the dim night, Lin Bi stood in front of the window of the guest room, looking at the dim starry sky. A middle-aged guard behind her was reporting the detected information to her. "During the chaos at the Xitang, all the guests and us entourage and guards were surrounded by the Marquis of Donghai's subordinates. The military training of the Marquis of Donghai was really extraordinary. The big ship of the Yue family was destroyed by the Marquis of Donghai's navy. It’s terrible, we went to see it, the sea is full of corpses and fragments of the rudder and sail, if the ship is not repaired properly, I’m afraid it will be useless.”

Lin Bi sighed: "After all, this is the territory of the Marquis of Donghai. Unless there is an army coming to attack, more than a hundred people want to make trouble, but they are just trying to make trouble. If Yue Qingyan didn't use the long-lost concentric Gu, I'm afraid it would be impossible at all." Having gained the upper hand, speaking of this, I really admire the people who set up the plan. If they succeed, they will not only control the East China Sea, Haishi and Yueshi, but also cause heavy losses to Dayong and Nanchu. As for us, although we have to There are no practical benefits, but there is no loss. Thinking about it, those people still want us to take the opportunity to attack Dayong. A good marriage is not only a close relationship, but also a beautiful woman. Who would have thought that the bride would hide murderous intentions? The behind-the-scenes mastermind really has a deep scheming mind. If King Qing, Donghai Hou and his son, and Lu Can die together, the world will be in chaos in an instant, and it will be difficult to find someone who dares to raise the same heart Gu for them, and it will be difficult to overcome them. With Qingyan's qualifications, it is said that the practice of concentric Gu is very demanding on the Gu master. However, what shocked me the most was Jiang Zhe's response. In just half a month, this person mobilized everything. The resources that can be mobilized, one by one, let the Yue brothers and sisters no longer have the will to die, and the Flying Divine Fire is enough to deal with the worst situation. With so many people coming to the East China Sea, it is difficult to judge whether it is an enemy or a friend, but this person has This ability made us all follow his plan. Mr. Xiu, what do you think we can do to get rid of this person's threat?"

The middle-aged guard hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, the master sent us here this time, originally hoping to help His Highness eradicate dissidents, but the current situation, Donghai has been alarmed, and it may be difficult for us to do so. We have also seen that Li Shun. This man's martial arts are so high that we cannot resist him. Except for the master, I am afraid that no one can be sure of victory, and even if he is reluctant to assassinate him, he may not be able to kill Jiang Zhe himself. His grievances are too deep, this person is scheming, if he swears revenge to the death, we will lose more than we gain."

Lin Bi sighed: "I also know this truth, but if this person becomes an official again, he will be our enemy. I am very worried that Ting Fei will fall into his tricks." The middle-aged guard said proudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general is unparalleled in military strategy, and we are protecting him. No matter what conspiracy or trick, as long as we don't pay attention to it, we will not be fooled. On the battlefield, there is an upright fight. What role will it play, and I don't think they will be any better. I heard from the princess that Qing Wang Li Kang and Qi Wang Li Xian are probably hated to the bone. The signs of brotherhood are very obvious. If we help him, maybe we can help him What about Dayong self-destructing the Great Wall?"

Lin Bi sighed and was about to speak when Lin Tong's voice came from outside, "Little sister, what are you doing here?" Lin Bi's heart moved, and she listened carefully. A little girl's immature voice came from outside and said, "Rou Lan is ordered by my father to invite Princess Jiaping and Princess Hongxia to visit Jinghai Villa." Lin Tong's hesitant voice came from outside and asked, "Little sister, who is your father?" The little girl proudly said: "My father's name is Jiang Mingzhe." Lin Bi was not shocked, but felt relieved. She had long suspected the identity of this little girl. Unfortunately, Bei Han only knew some important things about Jiang Zhe's information, but he was very vague about Jiang Zhe's private affairs, so Lin Bi could not Just sure.Hearing this, she pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Miss Roulan, Lin Bi is very honored to be invited by your father, and will definitely go to the meeting."

Rou Lan happily said: "That would be great." Lin Bi took a closer look, and saw that there were still a few posts in Rou Lan's hand, so she asked with a smile, "Do you still want to send the posts, little sister?" Rou Lan said: "Yes, there are posts from General Lu Can, His Royal Highness King Qi and King Qing." Lin Tong said: "Rou Lan, you are so young, why don't you let others send it over?" Rou Lan tilted her head and said: "This is the task Daddy gave Lan Lan, of course Lan Lan can't let others do it." Lin Bi looked at Xiaoroulan's naive and serious face, couldn't help smiling, and said in her heart: "If I can raise such a lovely daughter, I should also meet Jiang Zhe."

Under the same starry sky, Lu Can was also full of worries. Fu Yulun has been placed under house arrest. Killing this person is just a matter of effort, but thinking that this person is Shang Xiang's son-in-law, Lu Can is a little hesitant . When he was about to set off, Lu Can received a letter from Jiang Zhe, chatted a few words in his heart, told that a high-ranking official in Southern Chu wanted to plot against the East China Sea, took the opportunity to frame him, and asked Lu Can to find the place where the Yue clan was under house arrest. A possible place, and Lu Can's subordinates found the suzerain of the Yue clan in the Forbidden Army camp.After many years of fighting, Lu Can is no longer so naive. He will not do anything that harms the interests of Nanchu because of Jiang Zhe. Since he knew it in advance, it shouldn't be difficult to save his life, and if the matter is successful, the benefits Nan Chu will get will also make Lu Can very excited.But after thinking about it again and again, Lu Can found that he had to be Jiang Zhe's pawn. Since Jiang Zhe had already obtained the information, he would definitely set up a trap in advance. At that time, Nan Chu would definitely fail and anger Dong Hai. heavy.Moreover, Shang Weijun, relying on the power of the remnants of Fengyimen, has been arrogant in the past two years. Although Fengyimen has become a street rat, it is indeed still a powerful force. Fengyimen is a great force for Nanchu. It is a double-edged sword, if used well, it can fight against Dayong, but if it is not used well, it may bring disaster to Xiao Qiang, even if they succeeded by luck, it may be a disaster for Nanchu.So Lu Can followed Jiang Zhe's suggestion to rescue the hostages of the Yue family. Although they were under house arrest by the imperial guards, with the power of the Lu family in the Southern Chu military, Lu Can rescued them and blocked the news .Moreover, the current head of the Yue clan, Yue Wenhan, also accepted his favor, the Yue family would not immediately join Dayong too easily, and for the sake of the Yue clan, Donghai could not be too hostile to Nanchu.Although the Yue clan was still unreliable when Tu Qiongdao appeared, but he probably wouldn't do such a thing as taking refuge in Dayong and stumbling behind Nanchu's back.Speaking of it, Nan Chu didn't suffer a loss, but Lu Can felt depressed and uneasy. The master's schemes became more and more unconstrained. Will he be able to deal with the day when Dayong and Nan Chu are hostile in the future?After thinking for a long time, Lu Can said in a low voice: "Sir, you have always liked the idea of ​​alienation, I don't know if it is possible to alienate you and the Dayong court?

He stood up and walked to the next room. There were two guards at the door of this room, where Fu Yulun was under house arrest.When Lu Can walked in, he saw Fu Yulun sitting on a chair with a pale face. As soon as he saw Lu Can come in, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "General, the subordinates are all following the orders of their father-in-law. Forgive me." Lu Can's face was calm, and he said: "Get up, I know you can't make the decision, but this is the case, what do you think I should do with you?" Fu Yulun said in horror: "I just ask the general to spare his life, but if he has an order, all subordinate officials will follow his orders."

Lu Can smiled slightly and said, "I want you to go back and tell Shang Xiang that I, Lu Can, have no intention of fighting for power with him, but I don't allow others to bully me. I know that the remnants of Fengyi Sect are hidden by Shang Xiang's side, and I don't care about Shang Xiang. How to do it, but I hope you remind Shangxiang that Fengyimen has always been rebellious and can be used, but we must guard against it, if Shangxiang uses them to eradicate dissidents, I am afraid that Nanchu will become their world in the end." Fu Yulun was overjoyed, knowing that his life was finally saved, he quickly said that the promise he made would definitely persuade Shang Weijun.Lu Can sighed in his heart, and thought, if I kill this person, I'm afraid the only way to go is treason. Although this person may retaliate in the future, he can't make a vow to be at odds with the monk now.

Walking out of Fu Yulun's room, Lu Can said to the guards beside him, "Take good care of Mr. Fu, and don't let him come into contact with outsiders." Before returning to Nanchu, Lu Can didn't want anyone to influence Fu Yulun and make him Changed the promise to ease the conflict between the Lu family and Shang Weijun. Just a few steps away, I saw a little girl bouncing in, holding a big red post in her hand, followed by two Donghai guards. When she saw Lu Can, she smiled and said: " Brother Lu, Lan Lan sent a post for Daddy." She looked at the young man curiously, she had already learned from other people that this young man was Daddy's first disciple, so she took the opportunity to send a post to see this elder brother. Lu Can already knew that this girl was the daughter of his mentor. Although he didn't understand why his mentor had an extra daughter, it didn't prevent Lu Can from looking for the shadow of his mentor from this girl.He stepped forward gently, stretched out his arms to hug Rou Lan, and looked carefully, this little girl was graceful and beautiful, although she was young, there was already a bit of the spirit of a mentor in her brows.Rou Lan asked curiously: "Brother Lu, are you also a general who leads troops to fight?" Lu Can smiled sincerely and said, "Yes, I have also led soldiers." Rou Lan made a grimace, and said: "I thought the generals were as majestic as brother Lin's father, but Princess Bi is so beautiful, Senior Brother Lu is so gentle, it turns out that the generals don't have a specific look." Lu Can smiled again, put down Roulan, put away his feelings, took the post, and said lightly after reading it: "Please tell my master that it is inconvenient for Lu Can to go to congratulate, and please forgive me." Rou Lan asked strangely: "Brother Lu, why don't you go? My little brother is very cute, don't you want to meet him?" Lu Can smiled wryly. If he really went, he might cause countless criticisms. Although he didn't care, how could he lead troops if he let this talk go at this time? Now is not the time for him to be able to disarm and return to the field. Shang Weijun couldn't justly accuse him of the East China Sea matter. After all, the remnants of the Fengyi Clan could not appear in Southern Chu in name, but if he visited Jiang Zhe himself, the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy would not be explained clearly.But how could he talk to this little girl about these things, so he could only say indifferently: "Please tell sir, Chan would like to wish my junior brother a long life, and please forgive Chan for not coming to the door." Rou Lan said obediently: "Oh, I'll tell Dad when I get back." After finishing speaking, she bounced away from Lu Can's residence again. Looking at Rou Lan's back, Lu Can thought to himself, what is the purpose of inviting people to participate in the feast of the younger brother? Showing a faint wry smile, Lu Can knew in his heart that no matter whether he went or not, Shang Weijun's suspicion and suspicion of him could not be dispelled. Go and see what Jiang Zhe is going to do, even if he fell into a trap, it's better than not knowing anything.A thought suddenly appeared in his mind, he vaguely knew that Shang Weijun had a secret alliance agreement with the Northern Han Dynasty, he did not ask about these things before, but this time he met an important figure in the Northern Han military, Princess Jiaping, in the East China Sea, If I can reach a consensus with her, then it should be good for both Southern Chu and Northern Han. Although it is impolite to ask for a meeting late at night, Princess Jiaping will not turn me away, and no matter what the result is, people will misunderstand me. There is already an agreement with the Beihan military, which is only good for him.Looking at the misty night, Lu Can's heart was very bitter. In the past, he only wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country, and do his duty faithfully. Unexpectedly, I, Lu Can, also have painstaking efforts, just to save my life one day. In another guest courtyard, Li Xian was wearing a loose casual robe, leaning on a soft couch with his hands behind his head, looking relaxed, but there was a trace of sadness on his brows, he was not a dull person, King Qing was full of emotions. He could clearly see the hatred and jealousy in his eyes. This time in Donghai, he overwhelmed King Qing's limelight.Whether this third brother's temper is gloomy or extreme, Li Xian is still not sure.Although the assassination of Concubine Ji showed Li Kang's determination and courage to take revenge, but the master of Fengyimen, the majestic concubine, such an assassination was a bit of a joke. This incident also showed that Li Kang was not calm enough and extreme side.However, Li Xian once wondered in his heart, if Li Kang did not carry out such a reckless assassination, would he have the opportunity to guard Dongchuan? Moreover, Li Kang made his hatred with Fengyimen so clear because of his status as the prince. However, it would be inconvenient for Fengyimen to deal with him. If something happened to Li Kang, then Fengyimen would be the biggest suspect.So for many years, although Li Kang has always been suppressed by Fengyimen, not only is he safe and sound, but his power is still growing steadily.If Li Kang really thought of these things a long time ago, then Li Kang's scheming cannot be described as "deep". Moreover, Li Xian also understands his current situation. If the emperor's brother Li Zhi is a little suspicious and apprehensive, then there must be a pattern of attacking in groups. At that time, even if he loses his military power, it will still be light. I am afraid that the only possibility is to be confined to death , At this time, I greatly offended my third brother, King Qing Li Kang, who is now the most distinguished prince in the imperial court.In fact, Li Xian knew very well that as long as he went to see Li Zhi in person and earnestly pleaded guilty, it would not be impossible to reverse the current predicament. The former imperial brother is now the emperor of Dayong, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, if he bowed his head to him, wouldn't he also become a servile soft bone for the sake of Gou Quan's life and wealth?The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became. Li Xian thought to himself that he needed to see Jiang Zhe soon. He had a vague feeling that the only person who could get him out of this deadlock was that frail scholar. Thinking of Jiang Zhe, Li Xian felt a warm feeling in his heart. When Nan Chu first saw this man, he was cold and guarded towards him, but for some reason, he always felt that this young man's frail physique concealed some kind of shocking feeling. The power of fear, the second time I met, this person met me on a narrow road, and he saved my life, although nine out of ten it was because he wanted to escape from the Yong army.Although I know how to repay him and let him go, the regret in my heart is very deep.Then Jiang Zhe was brought back to Dayong by the emperor's brother. He undressed and tried to recruit him, but Jiang Zhe agreed to his own recruitment. At that time, he was an unbelievable surprise, but in the end it was still a farce, with anger When he left Prince Yong's mansion, he wished he could be killed, but then he was stabbed and seriously injured, but his first thought was to save his life.Later, the Crown Prince and King Yong swore to be at odds, the Hunting Palace suffered a catastrophe, and he was also placed under house arrest. He held Jiang Zhe hostage for various reasons, whether it was to save his life or take him as a hostage, but he was the one who saved him. He didn't mean to repay his life with kindness, so when he was put under house arrest by King Yong afterwards, he never hoped that Jiang Zhe would save his life.But this person repays Yongquan with the kindness of a drop of water. First, he let himself be the hostage of Fengyi Sect Master with him, so that he had the opportunity to "take the crime and make meritorious service", and then the Northern Han Dynasty took the opportunity to attack. Have the opportunity to put on the shirt again.Li Xian has long regarded Jiang Zhe as a good friend that he can make friends with. Although this person has deep plans, he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If he regards you as his own, then you don't have to worry about being betrayed by him.Therefore, this time he risked being impeached to the East China Sea, just hoping to get help from this person, so that he could get rid of his current situation. Before breaking through the Northern Han Dynasty and destroying the Southern Chu, he, Li Xian, would never be reconciled to being imprisoned like this. Framed, a man should die in a horse leather shroud, how can he die in a prison, framed by a villain. When Li Xian was worrying about gains and losses, the guards beside him came in to report: "Your Highness, Ms. Roulan sent a post for Mr. Jiang, inviting His Highness to attend the young master's first-year wedding banquet at Jinghai Villa." Li Xian's spirit was shaken, finally a formal invitation came, he said with a smile: "Let Roulan come in." Rou Lan walked in, saw Li Xian, and obediently stepped forward to salute and kowtow to him. The last time we met on the boat, the identity of King Qi had not been revealed yet, so naturally no one told Rou Lan the identity of King Qi. I have met King Qi before, but Roulan was still young at that time, so naturally she didn't remember King Qi's appearance. Now that her identity has become clear, Roulan came to see Li Xian this time and paid respects according to the etiquette. After being brought up, and having been in and out of the court many times, he is naturally very familiar with these etiquettes, and saluting and kowtowing is very smooth and natural. Li Xian said with a smile: "Rou Lan, get up quickly, you are Changle's daughter now, you should also call me uncle, how can you be so polite." Then he lifted Rou Lan to his lap and asked: "Are your father and mother in good health? I heard that they already have a son. They are both weak. I don't know if your little brother is in good health." Rou Lan said excitedly: "The little brother is very strong, and he doesn't like to cry. The grandfather said that the mother has taken good care of her body, and the little brother is very strong. Both the father and the princess mother are very good, and they often go out to sea by boat, but Daddy's hair has turned light gray, and I heard from the grandfather that it was caused by the medicine, but in the future, Daddy won't have to worry about the old injury recurring." Li Xian asked curiously: "Who is your great-grandfather?" Roulan's big eyes flashed suddenly, and said: "Don't you know, Uncle, the grandfather's surname is Sang, both father and mother regard him as a grandfather." Li Xian said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Sang, the medical sage. I think so. When Suiyun left Beijing, he was almost terminally ill. Sure enough, only Mr. Sang could save him." Rou Lan shook her head and said: "Grandpa said that Dad can heal himself, but it will take a few more years, and the effect will not be so good." Li Xian asked seemingly unintentionally: "Did your father invite King Qing?" Rou Lan said: "Uncle Shun said that His Highness Prince Qing is His Majesty's emissary, it would be impolite for me to deliver the post, so Uncle Shun went by himself." Li Xian smiled knowingly. It seemed that in Jiang Zhe's mind, King Qing was just an outsider. Thinking that King Qing would attack him in the future, he had a strong backup. At this time, from the corner of Li Xian's eyes, he saw a small figure hiding at the door of the inner room, hesitating not to come out, Li Xian couldn't help laughing, although Lin'er's attitude was a little cold and impatient, but it seemed that he still wanted to Get close to little Roulan, but now it's too late, Roulan has to go back to rest, Li Xian can only pretend not to see, asked Roulan a few more gossips, and then sent someone to send Roulan back.After sending Rou Lan away, Li Xian was full of anticipation. It seemed that he would have a satisfying harvest in the Jinghai meeting. In the new house, Yue Qingyan felt very uneasy. After drinking the Hejin wine, Jiang Haitao went to take care of the aftermath, and Yue Qingyan also knew that the house could not be consummated until her poison was cured, but she felt that Jiang Haitao was in the new house. The expression in the new house is always a little cold, and I can't help but worry in my heart.At this moment, Xue Qiuxue walked in, saw Yue Qingyan panicked, and smiled and said: "What's the matter, I'm so nervous, I'm here to help you undress, the groom can't come over today, my aunt said let me accompany you, lest you alone." Yue Qingyan smiled reluctantly, and with the help of Xue Qiuxue, she took off the hairpin and phoenix crown. She said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, do you think that my husband is still angry with me?" Xue Qiuxue let out a chuckle, and said: "Silly boy, since the young master didn't refuse to marry you in person, he just likes you in his heart, but it's just that you let the groom pass out on the ground before you entered the bridal chamber. Afterwards, the man is already married, and the groom is relieved, so he can't help but think of the old score, these men, there is no one who doesn't care about face, isn't your brother disgusting with me because I asked General Pei for help?" Yue Qingyan shyly said: "Sister-in-law, brother is jealous. If you hadn't figured out a way, I'm afraid our family will be separated and die unexpectedly. Brother won't quarrel with you for too long. I think back when brother pursued you, but it was almost I took out my heart and liver and showed it to you." A trace of shyness and sweetness flashed in Xue Qiuxue's eyes, but then she straightened her expression and said, "Qingyan, there is something your brother asked me to tell you. Now the crisis of the Yue family has not passed yet, although most of Yue Wuzheng's best friends are already dead. In the East China Sea, there are still people from the Yue family, and the suzerain and the others fell into Lu Can's hands. We have accepted Lu Can's favor, and this favor will be repaid sooner or later. Dayong and Nanchu will not be able to coexist peacefully after all. Our Yue family still has to make a choice. When we go back this time, your brother will take over the position of suzerain, the clan will be cleaned up, and the power of Southern Chu in southern Fujian will also increase. Although your brother has already reached an agreement with Hai's to get He bought the ship map and sea chart, but he was also forced to give up part of the shipping business to Haishi. In this way, we will not be able to overwhelm Haishi for more than ten years. Your brother is not worried about this, but when the big When there was a war between Yong and Southern Chu, Haishi could wholeheartedly follow the East China Sea, but we had to vacillate from side to side, and I am afraid that in the end, a strong man would have to sever his wrists in order to preserve the Yue clan, so the road ahead for the Yue clan will be very difficult." Yue Qingyan said anxiously: "Then what does brother want me to do?" Xue Qiuxue said firmly: "Qingyan, your brother said that he only wants you to do one thing, that is, to be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family with peace of mind. Don't do anything for the Yue family to harm the Jiang family, and don't fight for anything for the Yue family. Benefits, this is a man's business, you have done your duty as a daughter and sister, now you are the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and will be the mother of the child in the future, you have to think about the Jiang family in everything." Yue Qingyan's clear eyes were filled with tears, and he said: "Sister-in-law, but I can't just watch my brother suffer!" Xue Qiuxue comforted: "Silly boy, have you forgotten that the Jiang family and the Yue family are in-laws after all, as long as you are respected and loved by them, they will naturally take care of the Yue family for you. If you lose the love of your husband, Then you won't be able to help Yuejia, so remember, you just need to be a good wife, and Yuejia is not so easy to defeat." Yue Qingyan nodded fiercely, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Qingyan will not be used by anyone again. If the Jiang family holds grudges in the future and refuses to help the Yue clan, at most Qingyan and the Yue clan will live and die together. Qingyan I will never do anything against women's morals." Xue Qiuxue smiled, and said again: "We have also received an invitation to participate in the meeting at Jinghai Villa, and you will accompany Haitao to meet his mentor at that time, and he needs to find a way to solve your Gu poison, so You can take a good rest, that person has a transcendent status, if you are appreciated by him, your status in the Jiang family will be very different." A flash of longing flashed in Yue Qingyan's eyes, and said: "Sister-in-law, I also really want to see Mr. Jiang and Princess Changle. I heard that they are a couple of immortals?" Xue Qiuxue said with a smile: "Then you will see it soon, but don't forget, that man is unparalleled in resourcefulness and can be called the most terrifying person in the world."
