At the critical moment, Li Xiaogong never thought of escaping, and he could not escape. With 20,000 troops, tens of thousands of civilians, and thousands of ships, such a huge lineup, if a small group of pirates were to burn them all, then Li Xiaogong would be nailed forever. The Tang Dynasty was on the pillar of shame, and none of its descendants could get over it!
Li Xiaogong, who had quite a lot of battle experience, his first reaction was to turn the merchant ships in the back row ninety degrees, and then connect them in a line to form a "strong defense", and then order the rest of the fleet to move away, distance themselves, and sacrifice The cost of a few merchant ships was in exchange for the survival of the entire fleet.
However, this would also put Li Xiaogong in danger, because the merchant ship he was standing on now belonged to the back row.
Just when Li Xiaogong was about to cut off the strong man's wrist, a messenger came down from the observation platform and ran to Li Xiaogong to report loudly.
Li Xiaogong was startled when he heard this. He looked at the lieutenant with a sword on his neck and said, "Whose is that merchant ship~?"
The young general clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, that is the merchant ship of Feng Zhihua, a wealthy businessman in the capital, and the ships next to it also belong to him~!"
"Feng Zhihua..."
Li Xiaogong muttered something in a low voice, and then his expression changed slightly and asked: "On which ship is Meng Youliang, whom I have always asked you to pay attention to, on that ship~?"
"Back to my lord, it's true...it's indeed on that ship~!"
When Li Xiaogong heard this, his eyebrows suddenly knitted together. At this time, he saw that the course of the fire ship had begun to turn sharply to the right. According to this trend, it would definitely not hit the main fleet, so he decisively ordered: "Turn around immediately Bow of the ship, drive over from our right side and rescue the crew on the ship~!"
"Yes~! Your Majesty~!"
After a while, Li Xiaogong's big ship had anchored and set sail, and headed straight for Feng Zhihua's merchant ship. The distance was only a hundred feet. In addition, the merchant ship was turning again, and its straight-line speed was greatly reduced. Therefore, Li Xiaogong's big ship quickly caught up with the merchant ship.
At this time, the fire on the merchant ship was about to spread to the mast and stern rudder~!
"Quickly shout for the people on the boat to dive into the water, and find some soldiers who are good at water to rescue them~!"
At this moment, the two ships were traveling side by side, with the distance between them only three to four feet. After Li Xiaogong squinted his eyes and saw clearly that the bloody man controlling the sails on the ship was Meng Youliang, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly gave instructions.
Li Zexuan helped a lot this time when going to sea. Only those who have drifted on the sea will know the risks of the sea. Li Zexuan made a lot of preparations for the fleet to go south, including compasses, charts, and navigation precautions. These things saved many people's lives, and Li Xiaogong was certainly very grateful.
Before leaving, Li Zexuan personally asked him to take good care of Meng Wenhao's father, Meng Youliang. Although he was suspected of benefiting from public service, Li Xiaogong was really willing to do so. If Meng Youliang really dies tonight, then the favor he owes Li Xiaogong will be even greater!
"Yes~! Your Majesty~!"
A sergeant immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order, and then the soldiers shouted in unison on the big ship: "Crewmen on the other side, listen, the prince ordered you to jump off the ship quickly, and we will rescue you~!"
"Crewmen on the other side, listen, the prince ordered you to jump off the ship quickly, and we will rescue you~!"
Feng Zhihua and Meng Youliang, who were concentrating on steering the sailboat over there, were overjoyed when they heard the news here.
"Youliang~! Those are the prince's people~! The prince is also there~! The prince personally brought people to save us~! We are saved~!"
Feng Zhihua burst into tears.
From the moment he turned the ship around, he never thought that he would survive. He thought that he would be buried in the sea like this merchant ship, but he had no regrets. He did not want to destroy the entire fleet because of his own ship. , because he is a Tang Dynasty person~!
People from the Tang Dynasty cannot harm people from the Tang Dynasty~! You can’t even die~!
Now seeing Li Xiaogong personally coming to the rescue with the dignity of a prince, this kind of surprise of being saved from a desperate situation makes Feng Zhihua's heart surge and he is inexplicably excited~!
"Tsk~!"
"Yes~! We are saved~! Boss Feng, you don't understand water. Just grab this clothes and I will take you to jump into the sea~!"
The angle of the sail had already been fully adjusted, and no one needed to control it at all. After a period of rest, Meng Youliang had recovered a little strength. He took off his blood-stained clothes and tore them into pieces with a "chila" sound. A long strip of cloth, two sections tied together, came over and handed it to Feng Zhihua, saying.
Feng Zhihua said with a worried look on his face: "But Youliang, you are so seriously injured...Why do I have the nerve to drag you down anymore? You can go alone! I...I..."
Without saying a word, Meng Youliang directly tied one end of the cloth to Feng Zhihua's arm and said with difficulty: "Boss Feng, before you left, you gave my family a large sum of money and gave my children and my mother-in-law a good life. As long as I have breath, I will definitely take you away alive~! Jump quickly! If you don’t jump, the fire will come over~!"
Feng Zhihua hurriedly removed the strip of cloth and said, "No, no, no! You Liang, if you bring me with you, I will only drag you down... Hey, hey, ah~~!"
But when Father Meng saw that the mast was about to tip over due to the fire, he directly dragged Feng Zhihua and jumped into the sea, of course in the direction of Li Xiaogong and the others.
"Ah~!"
Above the sea, a heart-rending scream immediately sounded. You must know that Meng's father had been slashed more than a dozen times, and many of the wounds were deep enough to see the bones. Now that he had been soaked in sea water, there was an immediate sound on the wounds. A burst of burning pain, this is really adding salt to the wound! The pain was more than a hundred times more severe than the one he had just been chopped down, and even a tough guy like Meng Youliang couldn't help but cry out in pain~!
"Quick~! Swim over and save people~! They can't last long~!"
When Li Xiaogong heard the heart-rending scream, he immediately lay down on the side of the ship and yelled at the sergeant inside.
"Hey~! What a good man who values love and justice, a certain Zhang Zhongjian is here to help you~!"
At this moment, a burly man flew onto the fire ship from nowhere, and then with a little help, he came to Meng's father's position, directly lifted the two of them up with one hand, and then flew to the big ship where Li Xiaogong was~!
……………………
At the moment when Meng's father jumped into the sea, thousands of miles away, there was the student dormitory No. 007 of Yanhuang Academy.
"Ah~!"
Meng Wenhao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly sat up, covered his chest, and let out a scream. The other students in the dormitory were suddenly awakened.
"Wen Hao~! Wen Hao, what's wrong with you~?"
Wang Meng was about to scold his mother for being disturbed from his dream, but he suddenly felt something was wrong with Meng Wenhao's voice, so he quickly got up and ran over to ask.
Blood is thicker than water, father and son are connected to each other, even though they are thousands of miles apart, they cannot separate this connection~!
