The distance was getting closer and closer. Xiao Rui didn't know that Li Daozong had taken action. He only thought that the camp in front of him was still filled with old, weak, sick and disabled members of the Jingxiang navy, so he ordered people to bring Xu Datong, the commander of the navy, up.
"Send the order, raise the flag of Xu Datong, enter the water stronghold smoothly first, and then forcefully descend the navy camp in the name of Xu Datong."
The war drums were beating, and the warships of Jingxiang Navy took the lead. The large banner with the word "Xu" in Nuo Da was very eye-catching.
Unfortunately, the more this happens, the more misunderstood Li Daozong and others in the navy camp become.
"Commander returns to the camp after victory, quickly open the camp and let the big ships dock!" Fang Er shouted loudly.
The camp on the opposite side did not move at all. Li Daozong waved his hand, "Bang the drum! The messenger sent an order and asked Navy Commander Xu Datong to come out and see him."
Li Junxian on the side muttered: "How come the voice shouting slogans from the other side just now is so familiar?"
Hearing the call from the camp, Xiao Rui smiled, "It seems that the Jingxiang Navy is really under management, and they are so cautious even when they win and return to the camp. Xu Datong, the next step is up to you, let us be honest Go in, and then make an emergency landing on your subordinates. If you dare to play tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xu Datong suffered serious internal injuries. At this time, he forced himself to hold on his body and nodded with a pale face. Since he had become a prisoner, there was no point in struggling to death. He and the champion prince are their own masters, but they are different camps fighting for the crown prince, and they are not really self-proclaimed kings, so they can just accept the defeat and die. There is no need to resist until the nine tribes are really executed.
The ship slowly approached. Xu Datong walked to the deck and shouted loudly: "The commander is here, where is the deputy general Liu Xi? Open the gate of the camp quickly."
Liu Xi?
Liu Xi is afraid that he doesn't have time to open the door for you.
Jiangxia King Li Daozong laughed and walked out, "Xu Datong, do you recognize this king?"
This king?
Everyone looked curiously at the arrow tower at the upper gate of the camp. Xiao Rui and Fang Er exclaimed: "Your Majesty? Why is he here?"
Xu Datong asked in confusion: "Could it be that the King of Jiangxia is in person? General Xu Datong is here to pay his respects! I wonder why the prince is here? Where is my deputy Liu Xi?"
Li Daozong did not beat around the bush and snorted coldly: "Liu Xi, including the people left behind in your Jingxiang camp, have been captured by me. By the way, your family has also been captured."
"Xu Datong, I have found out that you imprisoned the imperial envoys and criminals for treason. You can arrest them quickly and follow me to the capital to collect the charges. This may save the whole family from the trouble of being imprisoned."
hiss……
how so?
Xu Datong couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Rui and others.
At this time, Li Junxian on the opposite side couldn't help shouting: "Xu Datong, since you destroyed the Dongting Water Village and returned victorious with great fanfare, you must have met the champion. Stop talking nonsense and let the champion go. We can Consider returning the family to you."
ah?
You guys...
This is not how prisoners are exchanged, right?
Isn’t this just exchanging my child for myself? Left hand instead of right hand? What's the point? Our whole family is your prisoner, what else can we do in exchange?
Xu Datong almost cried. Do you want me to let the champion go? Isn't this too bullying? He obviously tied me up!
Xiao Rui had guessed everything and walked out with a wry smile.
"Uncle Emperor, Fifth Brother, long time no see! Don't worry, we are fine."
ah? Mr. Hou?
"You, you..." Li Junxian was about to speak in surprise, but Daochang Li shouted vigilantly and asked: "Master Hou, are you really okay? Xu Datong, do you dare to threaten the champion?"
Xu Datong really wanted to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
Fang Er walked over and kicked him, "Get out of here. If I had known that the Jingxiang camp had been captured, why would I have used a piece of trash like you?"
"Your Majesty, Fifth Brother, we are really fine. Although the battle was thrilling, it was a near miss in the end. Together with Brother Xiao, we captured Xu Datong and forced the entire Jingxiang Navy to land. By the way, Prime Minister Wei also On the boat, we rescued him together."
Wei Zheng walked forward with a smile, "Your Majesty, General Li, it's been a long time!"
ah?
Li Daozong said in surprise: "So, it's really you who captured Xu Datong? Weren't you captured by him?"
Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Uncle Emperor, open the gate of the water village and let us in. We can't shout and chat like this from a distance, right?"
"Yes, yes, send the order, open the door, and welcome the victorious return of the Marquis!" After sweeping away the haze, the big stone on Li Daozong's chest finally fell.
Not long after, everything was arranged, and the chaos in the entire Jingxiang area was basically settled. Such results were achieved without many casualties. Normally, Li Daozong would not dare to think of it. But only when he was with Xiao Rui, he didn't seem to be surprised by any miracle.
After listening to the descriptions of Xiao Rui and Fang Er, Li Daozong and Li Junxian wiped away their sweat at the same time. It was too dangerous! A little carelessness will lead to disaster.
Xiao Rui also nodded and said: "Yes, I absolutely shouldn't. Then Datong shouldn't underestimate the enemy and be arrogant. He caught me on the boat and wanted to show off. I was also worried at the time. If this guy was a reckless man, I wouldn't say anything. If you directly order thousands of arrows to be fired, my few boats won’t even have a place to hide. I’ll probably be beaten into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye.”
"Or if he directly ordered the ship to collide, we would have already fed the fish and shrimps in Dongting Lake."
Fang Er chuckled and said: "I have always wanted to capture the thief and capture the king, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance. If I had known it was so easy, I wouldn't have needed to borrow arrows from a straw boat. How would it be if we directly revealed our identities and let Xu Datong capture us as prisoners?" "
Xiao Rui smiled and scolded: "If he doesn't take us as prisoners, he will directly destroy us without saying a word? Where can we hide on the water?"
Forehead……
Fang Er was choked and his face turned red, and everyone laughed.
Li Daozong said with a smile: "You can't do it directly. With your reputation as the Champion, who in the Tang Dynasty doesn't want to see you in person? And if you can capture your Champion as a prisoner, Haha, this counts as Xu Datong. Being beheaded is enough for him to brag about in the underworld."
Behead? Haha, that didn’t run away!
Xiao Rui smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, Xu Datong is just a minion, is the Xingyang Zheng family behind it? And the fat little Li Tai who started recruiting troops at a young age? How to deal with them when we go back?
"Brother-in-law, where is brother-in-law? Are you okay?" Xiao Changle roared over on a big cat, his tone full of concern.
Xiao Rui put a hand on his forehead and said in his heart, what a sin! Something has happened here. What will happen to Changle?
He glanced guiltily at his old father-in-law Wei Zheng who was present. Wei Zheng didn't know why, but Li Daozong almost laughed out loud.
Xiao Rui stood up and went out, "Don't worry, brother-in-law is fine. Come on, come on, I've seen Prime Minister Wei. It turns out that I made a mistake. Prime Minister Wei was not in Xiangyang City, but was caught on the boat by them."
How could Xiao Changle not understand what Xiao Rui meant?
But she was still sensible and did not reveal it. Unlike Li Daozong, the imperial uncle, Wei Zheng was Xiao Rui's father-in-law. It would not look good to snatch someone's son-in-law in front of him.
So she turned over and got off the tiger, bowed Yingying, and Li Daozong, Xiao Rui and others were relieved at the same time.
Early the next morning, everyone arranged the affairs of Jingxiang Navy, and then set off to return to Chang'an.
But before the army had marched ten miles, the scouts from the front came to report that a cavalry army of ten thousand people was roaring in. Looking in this direction, it was the Jingxiang Navy Camp.
