Fu Diqing understood even more that although Gao Baoxu was a son of the prince of Jingnan, he actually had no face in front of the imperial envoys and officials.
If the power of the Central Plains court forces the Gao family to come to find him, Gao Yanhui must know his identity, which is impossible for the time being. But now that Gao Yanhui was so polite to him, the Gao family, represented by Gao Baoxu, naturally thought more about it.
Who can be a fool in this era who can stand alone?
It can only be said that several generations of the Gao family have gained the reputation of Gao Laizi. It can only be said that they are the best among the best!
Gao Baoxu didn't dare to reveal his thoughts, after all, it involved too much. Besides, it is really the Gao family's brilliance to involve a son with no real power in this matter. Even though he couldn't stay in Jingnan for a long time, or even because he had something on his mind, Fu Diqing's understanding of the Gao family has undoubtedly reached a higher level.
As a friend, although he said he knew Liang Zan, he didn't know anything about Gao Yanhui. So to put it politely, Gao Baoxu is a little tight-lipped. But when something came up, Fu Diqing knew that Gao Baoxu would agree even without Lei Zhenzi from Lingnan to help.
Fu Diqing couldn't help but feel a little more cautious about the acting skills of this son of the Gao family.
"You send a message to Master Gao, don't worry about my safety!" Seeing some doubts about his maid, Fu Diqing couldn't help but said directly: "Master Gao was originally the governor of Yingzhou outside the Pass. He could see the situation clearly and surrendered to the imperial court, but he was also The Khitan entrusts them with important responsibilities, how can they be ordinary people?"
Seeing that his maid was deep in thought, Fu Diqing did not stop, nor did he pay attention to the few guards of the Fu family who were accompanying him, but continued: "Originally, the matters entrusted by His Majesty, as a minister, can only act according to the orders. But Gao Gao Your Excellency, you are going all out because you know that His Majesty wants to reuse him. We are from the line of the King of Wei. For the people of the entire Central Plains, having a relationship with us will naturally bring endless blessings. But you see that Mr. Gao is not fawning at all. ?"
"This is a man who does practical things. We need to have a good relationship with him in the future. Maybe he will be an excellent help to our Fu family!" When he said this, Fu Diqing paused and looked at him. Looking at the sky seems thoughtful.
Perhaps seeing that no one said anything, he seemed relieved, and then said: "It doesn't matter at all, but for Your Majesty's sake, we are traveling so quickly because we are afraid of wasting time! I hope that the Bodhisattva will bless you and not delay things. Please is you!"
Although the people on the side did not speak, they also understood what Fu Diqing was thinking, which was that she was worried about the sick emperor Guo Rong. There is no one around Fu Diqing who doesn't know about these things that have not been spread. Everyone looked at her in silence when they saw her finally turning into an inaudible murmur.
Bang!
Suddenly there was a loud humming sound in the river, which shocked everyone even though they were on the boat in the water. This night fleet was approaching a location not far from the mouth of the river. The first wooden ship was fine, but at this moment, the fifth ship was suddenly hit.
This loud noise can be said to have alerted everyone in an instant. Without anyone's orders, the entire team was trying to stop in an instant. Someone stood on the bow of the ship to look. The ship that had the accident was at an elbow-like bend in the river.
The moonlight was dim, and apparently no one of the spies on both sides of the river came to report the enemy attack.
Fu Diqing was also very experienced, and he immediately knew that people like him had been plotted by someone with serious intentions. Before Fu Diqing could give the order, he heard the sound of horses neighing on both sides of the river.
"Everyone, be careful, there is an enemy attack!" There was a young man next to Fu Diqing. Seeing Fu Diqing's face, he didn't receive the order for a moment, so he took the initiative to give instructions to the people around him and the people in the wooden boats in front and behind him.
Before everyone could start preparing, the wooden boat rolled over, causing dozens of people to fall into the water. The wooden boats in front and behind stopped. One boat was a little slow in its pole support and almost capsized with a muffled sound. However, it was stabilized by two boat punters, and the other two rushed to help.
Then he saw people on both sides of the river holding torches, illuminating the surrounding area, but no one was seen. However, we could vaguely see that many people and horses appeared on the slopes on both sides of the river, illuminating the wooden boats in the river.
"Princess, what should I do?" Someone felt the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but ask Fu Diqing for instructions.
"Don't panic, contact Mr. Gao who is behind immediately. Let's open the way in front. We must rush out of this corner as quickly as possible!" Fu Diqing was naturally very calm. How many battles have the children of the Fu family gone through? Even a woman like Fu Diqing has followed her elders on expeditions since she was a child, so she doesn't have the slightest stage fright!
Someone took the order and immediately jumped from the side of the ship to the wooden ship behind, contacting Gao Yanhui at the back of the fleet.
What made people feel inexplicably chilly here was that someone finally appeared on the shore. These people all have ferocious masks or paint on their faces. He looked like a ferocious god, as if he had just emerged from hell.
Under the light of torches, the appearance of these people made people feel even more chilled and frightened.
Among them, there was a formation of horses, and there were several horsemen standing in front of this team, and the people sitting on the horses looked even more impressive. They seemed to have two fangs protruding from the corners of their mouths, and under the light of the fire, they looked like born demons. But the fangs growing on that ferocious face didn't seem to be out of place, as if they were born that way.
Their faces are so ferocious that you can feel chills all over. Other than that, they look just like humans.
The people on the ship hardly needed to give orders, and the dozens of people in each ship had already prepared weapons and shields. Except for those who were not warriors, the rest gradually prepared their postures.
Because in the hands of these fierce gods on the shore, there are many bows, arrows and powerful crossbows. Although there is still some distance between them, because this night trip is closer to the shore, people on the wooden boat will become targets if they are not prepared.
People in the river flopped and climbed onto the boats in front and behind. It was unknown how many people were injured or drowned. Because among those who followed Fu Diqing southward, not many knew how to swim. Now that it’s night time again, it seems really heart-wrenching!
At this time, on the right side of the river, a man sitting firmly on a tall horse was particularly eye-catching. He was supported by several evil-like people, sitting on a maroon horse, and was quietly looking into the river. The people struggled and arranged all this with the people on the boat, but they seemed to have no intention of ordering an attack.
