Chapter 131 Chapter Two Going North with the Ship

When Xu Ziling saw Bai Qing'er, he really grasped what Ba Fenghan meant. Bai Qing'er stood by the window, focusing on the direction of the studio. Under Xu Ziling's sharp night eyes, what caught his attention the most about this unusually beautiful woman was her shiny black hair, which complemented her beautiful face with snow-like skin, and also had a tingling look like a wan wan. Wei Yan. No matter how she dresses, she is elegant and pleasant, giving people the impression of being solemn and reserved, but those bright and affectionate eyes, combined with her inherently shy and moving demeanor, not many men can match her. Can withstand it.

Although her appearance lacked the thrilling shock, it had an amiable and friendly feeling. At this moment, Ba Fenghan whispered in his ear: "Yin Gui faction witches know how to collect things best, but I am good at observing people, so she can't possibly fool me." After a pause, he continued: "Besides the hair is blood, as long as you pay attention to the color of her hair, you will know that her body is not as weak as her appearance, and she has superb qigong foundation. Her skin is not born with tenderness. It is a phenomenon of long-term practice of some kind of magic art, which makes the whiteness faintly bright, just like that of Wanhou."

Xu Ziling took a closer look and agreed, "Brother Ba, what else can you see?" Before Ba Fenghan could answer, Bai Qing'er quickly disappeared and retreated to a place in the room where the two of them couldn't see. "Henan Crazy Man" Zheng Shiru said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about Xu Junshi's discussion, there is still one thing I want to ask Mi Gong." Kou Zhong in the locker applauded in his heart, this Henan madman obviously has his own insights, and he is not so easily moved. "Changbai double fierce" Fu Zhen and Fu Yan uttered two cold snorts respectively.Obviously a little impatient, Zheng Shiru asked questions one after another.

Li Mi said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, please speak frankly." Zheng Shiru said indifferently: "After Yu Wenhuaji killed the faint king, he led his troops back to the north, aiming at Luoyang. With the wisdom of Duke Mi, why not pretend to be on the same line with Yu Wenhuaji, let Yu Wenhuaji attack Dongdu, and then Sitting on the fisherman's profit? Now he is doing the opposite. It has helped Wang Shichong a huge favor for no reason, and it has enabled him to preserve his strength. Looking at it, Wang Shichong sent his troops eastward. When the soldiers arrived in Yanshi, they knew that he was going to take advantage After losing a large number of soldiers, the Duke wanted to take advantage of the opportunity! Does Duke Mi feel any regrets for this?"

Li Mi let out a deafening laugh and said: "Mr. Zheng is worthy of being a wise man in Henan. He knows the situation very well. However, Li Mi also has a question that he would like to ask you. And how will the 100,000 elite soldiers from the south deal with it? If Luoyang is destroyed by Yu Wenhuaji, so that it has a strong city as a stronghold and sufficient food, Yu Wenhuaji's army will no longer be a tired army from afar , I, Li Mi, will fight against him again, is that a good deal?" Zheng Shiru fell silent, and after a while he said: "Duke Mi's words are justified, but the current situation is obviously not good for Gong Mi, what countermeasures does Mi Gong have?"

Li Mi smiled confidently and said: "Wang Shichong is just my defeated general, so he is not brave enough. Now that he leads the crowd, Luoyang must be empty. I, Li Mi, only need to divide up the troops to guard his way to the east, making it difficult for him to make an inch of progress. In addition, with elite soldiers Tens of thousands, to the west of the river to force the eastern capital. At that time, Shichong will return, and we will retreat to the south and stand still. If Shichong comes out again, I will force him again. If I have more than enough strength, he will go back and forth in vain. carry on."

Kou Zhong suddenly realized the importance of Xiangyang to Li Mi.Because in that case, Xiangyang became Li Mi's logistics base for supplying grain and grass, so that the Wagang Army that attacked Luoyang could get support and supplies. Therefore, Li Mi is determined to win Xiangyang City. Xu Shiji interjected: "Wang Shichong moved his troops to the east to attack me. There was not enough food, and he wanted to fight quickly. As long as we have deep ditches and high fortifications to resist, it only takes two or three months. Wang Shichong will definitely retreat when he runs out of food. If Wang Shichong is able to return to Luoyang with his life, it is because his family is blessed."

"boom!" Zheng Shiru slapped the table and sighed: "Just listen to the words of Mi Gong and Xu Junshi, and you know that the Wagang Army is sure to win, and Wang Shichong is in trouble. Does the city lord still hesitate?" Kou Zhong's head vibrated violently, and his heart groaned.If Li Mi did what he said just now, it would be no wonder that Wang Shichong was not defeated.And if Li Mi captures the Eastern Capital, it will be difficult for the Li Clan in Guanzhong to maintain their immediate advantage, and Song Yuzhi will have to marry Li Tianfan as agreed, which will greatly increase Li Mi's momentum because of the help of the Song Clan.At that time, as long as Li Mi forced the Li Clan to stay in the pass, and calmly deal with Du Fuwei and others, wouldn't the world be in Li Mi's pocket?

Bai Qing'er appeared in front of the window again, but she had already changed into a nocturnal black dress, silently watching Qian Duguan accompany Li Mi and the others out of the studio, and walked towards the gate of the house. Ba Fenghan said in a low voice: "Li Mi is in trouble today. Just now she must have informed the people of this faction in a secret way to mobilize people to hunt down and kill Li Mi. Now she is going to track down Li Mi and find out his whereabouts." Xu Ziling was puzzled, "Is Li Mi so easy to be killed by snipers?" Ba Fenghan smiled and said, "So what if I wish Yuyan to come?"

The figure flashed, and Bai Qing'er came out through the window like a puff of smoke, and landed in the garden. After a few ups and downs, she disappeared. Xu Ziling said: "Bai Qing'er has gone like this, aren't you afraid that Qian Duguan won't be able to find her when she comes back?" Ba Fenghan said: "She is naturally more aware of Qian Duguan's behavior than us. Hey! I have a proposal; why not put those two stacks of calligraphy and painting papers in the boudoir of the White Demon Girl, and then catch up with Li Mi and see Can I have some oil and water?"

Xu Ziling said with a smile: "You can do whatever you want!" After saying that, the two jumped down from the big tree and joined Kou Zhong. The three silently dived into the icy river and swam towards one of Li Mi's three big boats. Li Mi was still saying goodbye to Qian Duguan at the pier. While everyone's attention was focused on the pier, the three of them boarded the side of the ship from the left rear without anyone noticing with their dexterity like ghosts. They probed the deck and immediately frowned, only to see that the deck was full of armed men, and there was no chance of slipping into the cabin. Kou Zhong saw four small boats about two feet long hanging on both sides of the boat, and covered them with tarpaulins, and suggested: "Why don't you hide in one of the small boats, unless they want to use a boat, otherwise it should be the safest The place." Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling nodded in agreement, then quickly moved along the side of the ship to a small boat that was suspended, took off the tarpaulin with a little effort, and rushed in, after covering it, the hull trembled, and just set sail. Go up the river. Ba Fenghan was lying on the stern of the boat, and Kou Xu was lying side by side on one side of the bow, but for the convenience of talking, the three big heads were crowded together, which made the three of them feel strange and intimate. Kou Zhong explained in detail Li Mi's determination to kill the three of them, but lightly dismissed the matter of Li Mi's mobilization of Qian Duguan, because he was still deeply wary of Ba Fenghan.After saying that, he said with a smile: "If the Changbai Shuangsha stays to look for us, it will be a joke!" Ba Feng smiled coldly: "Do you know who they are?" Xu Ziling looked at the oilcloth above, and said, "From Brother Ba's words, these two guys must be a bit wise." Ba Fenghan said: "These two are Wang Bo's juniors, but they turned against their seniors a long time ago, and now they have joined Li Mi. Although these two are arrogant and arrogant by nature, they do have some real skills, otherwise they would have been slaughtered by Wang Bo. Especially The elder brother Fu Zhen is even more famous as a master who is good at tracking. In this respect, he is more famous than Li Mi's dead subordinate 'Fei Yu' Zheng Zong, and his martial arts are even more different. Fortunately, we hid here, otherwise there will be heaven and earth. Big trouble." Seeing Yiba Fenghan's conceit, and also appraising these two people so highly, the two were secretly stunned. Ba Fenghan said: "Taking this opportunity, let's cultivate our spirits first, and be more refreshed when we kill someone later." The three of them closed their eyes and meditated, and within a short while they entered the realm of meditation. The hull trembled for a while, from fast to slow. The three woke up at the same time. Ba Fenghan stretched out his fingers to pierce the tarpaulin, the three of them waited for the gap to look out, and saw people coming and going on the deck, very busy. With the dawn of dawn in the sky, it can be seen that Li Mi's fleet has traveled by water for at least three hours. Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "They don't want to land, do they?" Ba Fenghan turned to the other side of the rag to peek out, and whispered: "There are people on the shore." The two moved over, and the left bank of the Confusion River was densely covered with military camps, and there was also a temporary wharf, where several smaller warships and more than a dozen speedboats were moored. Li Mi's fleet slowly approached the pier. Xu Ziling suddenly said: "It turns out that Li Mi's ambush is here. If the negotiation with Qian Duguan fails, it is really cruel to attack Xiangyang with a surprise army." Ba Fenghan nodded in agreement and said: "Everyone knows that Li Mifei is a good man and a faithful woman, brother Xu's guess is quite in line with Li Mi's style. Alright, now let God be brave to Zhu Yuyan, I'm afraid she won't dare to provoke Li Mi, what should we do? " Kou Zhong said decisively: "Let's steal a speedboat immediately and head north to Luoyang." Ba Fenghan frowned and said: "If we go to steal the boat now, it's not stealth but stealth. It's not a problem for Li Mi himself to be smart, and he has many masters under his command. We may not be able to succeed." Xu Ziling wondered: "Why is Young Master Zhong so eager to go to Luoyang?" Kou Zhong said in a low voice: "I'll explain to you later, it's impossible to steal secretly! Look! Li Mi has come ashore." They also saw Li Mi and Xu Shiji disembark from the ship surrounded by generals. A group of people were waiting at the pier early, and the leader was a tall and imposing young general. Ba Fenghan said: "That is Li Mi's general Pei Renji, this person is as famous as Wang Bodang, known as the Wagang Twin Tiger General, with high martial arts skills and extraordinary wisdom." Hearing Wang Bodang's name, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong felt uncomfortable when they remembered that Susu had been humiliated by him. At this time, Li Mi and his party did not enter the camp. Ba Fenghan laughed and said, "Now is the right time to snatch the boat!" The three emerged from the water and boarded one of the speedboats moored on the shore. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling pulled up the cloth sail calmly, while Ba Fenghan pulled out his Xuanxuan Sword, he raised the sword in his hand and cut the ship's cable.Someone on the shore shouted, "What are you three doing?" Ba Fenghan laughed and said: "Please tell Mi Gong that Ba Fenghan, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling borrowed a boat to go." After finishing speaking, he pushed his palms violently, and the water splashed in all directions with a gust of palm wind, and sprayed it on the head and face of more than a dozen Wagang soldiers who rushed towards him. As soon as a gust of wind blew, Kou Zhong hurriedly put on the majestic posture of "a generation of helmsman", sailed up the Hebei with the wind, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. They had been bored in the boat covered with tarpaulins for a few days. At this time, seeing the peaks on both sides of the strait and the deep green trees, they all felt refreshed and energetic. Ba Fenghan, who was swaying the oar on the starboard side, looked up to the sky with a long smile and said, "This time we are clearly shaving Li Mi's eyebrows and forcing him to send people to chase us down. It will be the best." Xu Ziling, who was paddling on the port side, was puzzled: "How can Li Mi's men catch up with us given our current boat speed that is as fast as galloping horses?" Ba Fenghan patiently explained: "If Li Mi is just an ordinary bandit, of course we can't do anything to us. But the Wagang Army has now become a well-organized military group, and because they want to occupy the Eastern Capital, they have set up special forces in this area. The network that quickly transmits military information, once something happens, we can use the fast horse station, or the method of flying pigeons to send messages to instruct the subordinates in the distance to take any action, so we must not relax." Kou Zhongdao: "This time going north to Luoyang, we should only win by outsmarting, not forcefully. As long as we can reach Luoyang as quickly as possible, we will be considered a winner." Both Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan looked at him in surprise, because these words really shouldn't have come out of his mouth, and with Kou Zhong's usual style, he should propose to make a big fuss. Kou Zhong changed the topic a bit awkwardly and said: "Changbai Shuangsha is left in Xiangyang, and Li Mi, Pei Renji, and Xu Shiji can't be separated. Could it be Shen Luoyan, a handsome military advisor, who will serve us?" Xu Ziling's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said calmly: "The best person to come is Wang Bodang, we can recover the old debt from him." Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "It's rare to see Brother Xu hate a person so deeply, but Wang Bodang's double-pointed soft spear is very good, and he is listed on the list of outstanding skills. It's not easy for him either." Xu Ziling didn't speak any more. The three of them steered the boat with all their strength and went upstream against the current. At dusk, they had crossed Nanyang City, which was guarded by Wang Shichong's general "Wuliangjian" Xiang Siren. Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling rested for a while, relying only on the wind to sail, the speed was greatly reduced. Ba Fenghan smiled and said, "Have you heard of Dong Shuni's name?" Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it, but the name is quite unique." Ba Fenghan looked at the sunset sky in the distance, took a deep breath of the river wind blowing from the boat, and said leisurely and fascinated: "Dong Shuni is the only daughter of Wang Shichong's sister Wang Xin. Both parents died since childhood. This girl is eighteen years old. , born with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, the country is beautiful and heavenly, and Luoyang is full of beauty." Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Brother Ba, do you intend to chase under the skirt?" Ba Fenghan said indifferently: "For me, the relationship between a man and a woman is just a mirror image. A moment of youth can neither last nor have eternal value. Besides, this woman is Wang Shichong's biggest political capital. Interested, I hope to use this to form an alliance with Wang Shichong to fight against Li Mi." Kou Zhongha laughed and said: "If she marries Li Shimin, she is indeed a man of talent and looks, a perfect match." Ba Fenghan smiled wryly and said: "Brother Kou just takes it for granted! Because I heard that it is Li Yuan himself who wants to accept Dong Shuni!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, speechless, thinking to themselves that it's no wonder Li Yuan was ridiculed as a pervert. Kou Zhong remembered something, and asked: "We used to listen to Shi Qingxuan playing the flute in Dongping County, when Shi Qingxuan left, brother Ba chased her, what happened?" Ba Fenghan looked slightly gloomy, sighed, and said in a breath: "I can only see her back, but it has left an indelible impression. This is probably the best situation for both of us. I face her day and night, maybe one day I will grow tired of it." Xu Ziling frowned and said: "Brother Ba is contradictory? On the one hand, he says he doesn't care about the relationship between men and women, but on the other hand, he longs to pursue beautiful women with sexual skills, and he will keep it in his heart." Ba Fenghan pondered for a while, a bitter smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and said: "No wonder Brother Xu has this misunderstanding, it's because I often hang out with different beauties, and now I heard that I don't care about the relationship between men and women . But in fact the two are not necessarily opposed to each other.” Kou Zhong was very interested and said: "Brother Ba, what's the point here?" Ba Fenghan let out a breath of sullenness in his heart, as if he had fallen into an abyss of memory, his eyes sparkled and he said: "Since I understand human affairs, I have felt that life is constantly repeating. Doing the same thing, only by constantly changing the environment, constantly coping with new challenges, or constantly trapping yourself in different situations, can you feel the fresh and moving side of life." Then he spread his hands and said, "Like now, there is no sense of repetition or dullness. An unpredictable future is in front of you. It seems to be under your control, and if it is completely out of your control. And the two of you Cooperation is even more exciting and interesting, who can be sure that we will not meet Zhu Yuyan in the next moment? This is one of the reasons why I don't want to take the relationship between men and women to heart." Kou Zhong laughed and said: "So, Brother Ba is a heartless man by nature." Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "Kou Zhong, don't laugh at me, you and I are both ambitious people, but I specialize in martial arts, while you dream of your emperor's dominance; although the roads are different, if you want to achieve Every goal has to be sacrificed.” Kou Zhong said with a smile on his old face, "When did I tell you that I want to dream of becoming an emperor?" Ba Fenghan glanced at him full of ambiguity, and said with a dumb smile: "You know your aspirations by watching his deeds, you Kou Zhong turned the south upside down, the situation changed drastically, and you went north with the secret of 'Duke Yang's Treasure'. It is the best explanation for your plan. I heard a very important secret last night in the studio of the Cangqing Pavilion, but I have to keep it in my heart, otherwise why are you so eager to go to Luoyang?" Kou Zhong laughed without shame under the eyes of the two of them, and said calmly: "Old Ba, you really have skills, and it's really hard to hide it from you. But I'm going to Luoyang this time, just to make a deal , Others pay, I sell information, and it has nothing to do with dreaming of an emperor." Ba Fenghan smiled but turned to Xu Ziling and asked, "Brother Xu, do you believe it?" Xu Ziling raised his hand in surrender and said, "I don't want to lie to Brother Ba, and I don't want to offend Young Master Zhong, so I can only avoid answering." The three of you looked at me, and suddenly laughed together. At this moment, a little light appeared in the distance of the river ahead, slowly approaching head-on.
