A mere small boat with a black roof was not even qualified to escape in front of a huge naval warship. As soon as the sky broke, the plan of borrowing arrows from the grass boat was exposed, and Xiao Rui and his more than a hundred drummers became prisoners before their eyes.
At this moment, Fang Er in the distance shouted, "Brother Xiao, don't panic, we are here to rescue you! People from the Jingxiang Navy, listen, if anyone dares to touch a hair of the champion, we will let you all go to the lake today to feed him." fish!"
Who are you, bragging about this nonsense?
Xu Datong sneered disdainfully and looked up, hey, are there really people who are not afraid of death? Are the Dongting water bandits really loyal? Instead of running away at the critical moment, you dared to turn around and come back? Do you want to save Champion Hou?
court death! When I win the championship, free your hands and all of you water bandits will die!
"According to my general order, the big ships surrounded the champion and captured alive the traitor who pretended to pass the imperial edict! The other ships blocked the Dongting water bandits. After I capture the culprit, I will deal with them."
Rebellious? Who do you think is rebellious?
Xiao Rui, who was rudely taken aboard, had a dark face. What the hell is he saying about catching a thief? You are the rebellious ones, how dare you say that I am rebellious?
Xu Datong walked over with a triumphant look on his face, "I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, it turned out to be like this when we first met. In fact, the general didn't want to make it so unpleasant, but the situation forced him to take this step. "
"Let go, let go, this is the Marquis. Who doesn't know that the Marquis has no power to tie a chicken? Do you still need to be tied up?"
Xiao Rui sneered: "How dare a group of sailors dare to rebel against one side? Who gave you the guts?"
Xu Datong was not annoyed, but said proudly: "As you said, I, the Jingxiang Navy, have the final say on the water in Jingxiang. The one who is rebellious now is not the general, but you, Lord Marquis. You had an affair with Dongting water bandits, and you were shot to death in the chaos...Tsk, tsk, they say that the Marquis is a popular person in front of His Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty accepts this statement?"
Xiao Rui said disdainfully: "I don't know whether your majesty will accept it or not. What I know is that you will not live long."
oh?
"The Marquis is still so confident now? I don't know why? Are they the Dongting water bandits outside?" Xu Datong's face was full of contempt, "I heard that the Marquis has taken a fancy to them and wants to recruit them as members of the Tang Dynasty. A new navy?”
"The general once admired the Marquis, but he never thought that your vision was like a blind man. Who did you fancy? You actually fell in love with a bunch of useless trash? Today, Lord Marquis, I will show you that soldiers are soldiers and bandits are bandits! "
"Go ahead and give the order to fight the Dongting water bandits head-on. Now we are not afraid of casualties. The harder they fight, the less our responsibility will be."
responsibility?
Xiao Rui mocked: "You still know your responsibility? What? Still thinking about going back to fool the court after the war is over? Don't think about it. Imperial Envoy Wei Zheng and Jiangxia King Li Daozong are not fools. They are all watching you."
who?
Imperial envoy Wei Zheng?
Xu Datong couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Master Marquis, you don't know, right? The banner we used to suppress the bandits this time was exactly that of the imperial envoy Wei Xiang. So no matter what happens on the lake, it will be It is the responsibility of Prime Minister Wei, and the generals and others are just a bunch of errands working hard."
"Come on! Invite Prime Minister Wei to come out and meet the champion."
who? Prime Minister Wei? Is Prime Minister Wei in your hands?
Xiao Rui's eyes widened and he looked back towards the cabin. He watched Wei Zheng being brought up in disbelief and couldn't help cursing in his heart, Damn it! What do my intelligence officers do for food? Didn't it say that Wei Zheng was under house arrest in Xiangyang City? When did the running boat come?
Seeing Xiao Rui's embarrassed look, Wei Zheng was also stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I thought you were here to save me, but I didn't expect you to be caught by them too. What on earth is going on?"
Xiao Rui spread his hands, "I also want to know, what is going on? Didn't the intelligence say that you were under house arrest in Xiangyang City? For this reason, I divided my troops into two groups and sent Xiao Changle and Li Junxian Going to save you."
help me?
"At first, I came down for a secret visit and found out some taboos. My whereabouts were leaked, and then I got into their hands. I was indeed under house arrest in Xiangyang City. That's when they started to block the river. But half a month ago, they came to block the water. When he was a robber, he took me secretly to the boat and I haven’t gotten off the boat since.”
Wei Zheng still had something to say - he almost vomited after eating fish every day.
Seeing the two of them chatting animatedly, Xu Datong smiled and clapped his hands and said: "You two, I will show you the beauty of adulthood. Before you two die, I will send you my husband-in-law to reunite. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I will put out the water later." Bandit, it’s time to send you two on the road together.”
Wei Zheng shouted angrily: "Xu Datong, do you dare to attack the champion? Let alone you, it is the person behind you. Can he withstand His Majesty's anger? If the champion is touched, no one can get involved in that position!"
The person behind him? Who? Dare you want such a rebellious guy? Xiao Rui asked curiously.
Wei Zheng said angrily: "Who else can it be? Apart from the fourth prince, who else dares to covet the throne and cultivate his own power outside?"
"Who? The fourth green bird? That little fat guy? Okay! Can't you tell that I usually pretend to be stupid and act cute, but I'm so sinister and cunning behind my back? I'm very clever!" Xiao Rui really didn't expect, " That’s not right, he is a young man and a half, even if he is ambitious, he cannot be so strict, there must be someone helping him."
Wei Zheng nodded, "You're right, it's a literature museum. He asked His Majesty to establish a literature museum earlier, saying who wanted to compile geography. Now it seems that his geography compilation is just a cover for him to cultivate power... …”
Xiao Rui shook his head, "No, a group of civil servants in the Literature Museum can at most come up with ideas. There is also a more powerful person, this person is rich, powerful and ambitious... let me count on my fingers! Huh? Could it be the Zheng family of Xingyang? "
hiss……
Hearing these four words, Navy Commander Xu Datong took a breath and was surprised by the champion's keen sense of touch. Could it be that he really has unpredictable powers? Calculate everything in the blink of an eye? We didn't say anything, but he actually guessed that the financial backer was the Zheng family in Xingyang?
Xiao Rui raised his head and glanced slightly, and said with a smile: "Looking at your expression, do you think I guessed it right? Haha, you are really promising. How dare you cooperate with the Zheng family in Xingyang? It's like seeking the skin of a tiger!"
Xu Datong was able to see through his thoughts, so he was not embarrassed. Instead, he said cheerfully: "It is rumored that the Marquis is not a human being, but has unpredictable abilities. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation. I will admire him forever! What a pity. Such a world-famous person A great talent is going to die in the belly of a fish today, tsk tsk..."
Buried in the belly of a fish? How can you see it? I said it a little early. Look up. Do you really think the Jingxiang Navy will win? Xiao Rui reached out and pointed.
It was now bright, the sun had dispelled the fog, and the water battle on the lake was clearly visible.
I saw the leading warship of the Dongting Water Bandits, charging rampantly and invincibly towards the leading ship of the Jingxiang Navy.
Um?
Although Xu Datong was surprised, he did not panic. His Dagu warship was in the middle. If he wanted to fight all the way in, he had to break through at least five lines of defense. Are their warships made of iron? It’s just a ridiculous dream!
Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far. He only saw the opponent's invincibility and indomitable progress, but did not see the specific battle situation. In fact, Fang Er and Fang were in front of the warship. Before they reached a checkpoint, Fang Er took the lead and flew over, and each of them swept away a warship. In this way, there was no obstacle to the big ship of the Lai brothers!
