Li Dingxing, Wang Xuan, Qin Changqian and others gathered in Yi Xiaodao's handsome tent.
Wang Xuan said: "Master Yi, the Chu Xiang army and the imperial court's troops are divided into three groups. Both sides are coming out in full force. What about us?" Although Yi Xiaodao is now Wu Dinggong, everyone is used to calling him "Mr. Yi". For Lord Yi.
After Yi Xiaodao listened to the detailed report, he sighed; "Oh, what is supposed to come is what is coming, and all living beings are in ruins..."
Wang Xuan didn't know what to say. Li Dingxing said in a deep voice from the side: "Xiao Dao, now is not the time for child's play. I am not here to sit on the wall and watch!"
Xiang Lian'er was even more impatient: "You really can't keep up with the heat even when you eat...beg for food!" Xiang Lian'er covered up more dirty words.
Yi Xiaodao looked at the anxious crowd, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, with a firm look in his eyes: "Li Dingxing, you and Xiang Lian'er will lead 10,000 Nanhuai troops to bypass Wancheng from the east. , arrived at the riverside. I have already prepared ships there to block the Chu and Xiang navy."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't believe it. Twenty-five thousand soldiers and horses were all here, and they had not been mobilized. Where did the boats come from on the riverside?
Yi Xiaodao said: "Do you still remember the food collection in Su City? No one contributed money at that time. In the end, a young man donated fifteen taels first, and then the people of Anhui City were mobilized to raise donations one by one. He was Xu Jiacheng, a miner. Hong’s nephew, I had already asked him to go back and build a warship in case of any eventuality. I didn’t mention it to you, so of course you didn’t know about it.”
As soon as these words came out, Li Dingxing and Xiang Lian'er suddenly realized. Li Dingxing was a little shocked: "That was two years ago..."
"Two years to build a warship, isn't it enough? Moreover, He Yue'er and Fu Qing were seriously injured two years ago, and there was no water battle between Chu Xiang and the imperial soldiers, so it has been delayed until now. I sent people to go there a few days ago To deliver the letter, I think the warship has arrived in Wancheng. Lord Zhongyi, the money for building the ship..." Yi Xiaodao started to make calculations.
Li Dingxing blocked Yi Xiaodao's words with his hands: "'The last general' takes the order" and then stepped aside, turning a deaf ear to Yi Xiaodao's words.
Xiang Lian'er's eyes widened with stars in her eyes: "Yi Xiaodao, I think you are so handsome like this! Just wait, I'll call Sister Yue'er to come over and take a look!"
Yi Xiaodao rolled his eyes at Xiang Lian'er, and naturally understood that she was joking, so he ignored her and continued: "Wang Xuan, you and Qin Changqian, Fan Jun, and Zheng Kang will lead a 10,000-strong army to bypass Tianzhu Mountain. , set up an ambush in Qian City. No matter which route of troops arrives first, you don’t have to worry about it. Once the two sides fight, you will lead the troops...forget it, you will send troops to attack and severely damage the Chu and Xiang army."
"Master Yi, there are still five thousand soldiers, do you want to..." Wang Xuan boldly guessed.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "I will personally lead five thousand soldiers to Wancheng to meet Ge Cifeng."
"No!" Except for Yi Xiaodao, everyone almost said in unison.
"Ge Cifeng led an army of 100,000 people. If you go with 5,000 people, it's like throwing an egg at a stone! With 100,000 people, not to mention you, even if Senior Si Wangnan comes, there is nothing you can do. You are clearly going to die!" Li Dingxing! He said decisively.
Xiang Lian'er even strode to Yi Xiaodao's side. Regardless of her status, she stretched out a green jade finger and poked Yi Xiaodao's forehead: "What are you thinking about? Don't think about Sister Yue'er. ?Don’t think about paying love? Don’t think about yourself?”
Yi Xiaodao was poked a few times by Xiang Lian'er, but he was not annoyed and said slowly: "Ge Cifeng has 100,000 horses, but Zhou Ziru also has 100,000 horses. And there are 50,000 horses behind him in Wancheng. Win or lose. It’s unpredictable. Besides, I’m not going to take the lead, as long as I see the right opportunity..."
"As big as you are, there are beggar gangs and unicorn bows! They are all from the Hidden Earth Realm and the Heavenly Walking Realm. You are from the Yang Yang Realm, why are you joining in the fun?" Xiang Lian'er was furious. Come.
Yi Xiaodao stood up slowly, activating his inner strength. The clothes behind him moved automatically without any wind, and the table and chairs in the handsome tent began to shake. Li Dingxing, Qin Changqian and others were forced to take several steps back, and Wang Xuan almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zheng Kang stretched out his hand to support him and managed to stand firm.
"Are you in seclusion again?" Xiang Lian'er opened her mouth in shock.
Yi Xiaodao restrained his inner strength, smiled apologetically at Wang Xuan, and sat back: "Oh, I told you to hold the sun earlier, and everything like Diyin is a piece of cake~"
Li Dingxing shook his head and said: "No, you can't see enough even in the hidden realm. And even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about those five thousand soldiers and horses. They followed you here from Donglu and Nanhuai. Is it just to accompany you to death? You are in the Hidden Realm, but what about them?"
Yi Xiaodao was silent, and after a while he said leisurely: "Well, Wang Xuan, you will lead fifteen thousand elite troops and ambush near Qian City. I will go to Wancheng alone."
Xiang Lian'er was so angry that she wanted to curse, but after thinking about it, she decided to let it go. Only he could change what Yi Xiaodao decided. And most of the time, his decisions were correct, Shanlian had to admit this. In the final analysis, I still want to end things with Ge Cifeng because of He Yue'er's marriage.
Qin Changqian said: "Master Yi, I will accompany you."
"There aren't many people in the camp who can fight. What if you go to Wang Xuan? Who will protect Wang Xuan?" Yi Xiaodao shook his head like a rattle.
Zheng Kang silently raised his hand and when no one saw it, he lowered it silently and stood behind Wang Xuan without saying a word...
"Yi Xiaodao, I'm going too." A clear female voice came from outside the tent, and a woman walked into the tent, Jian Liuyun.
When Yi Xiaodao saw Jian Liuyun's tent, he opened his mouth, paused and said, "What are you going to do? Fighting is a man's business, ladies, don't get involved!"
Jian Liuyun dodged and approached Yi Xiaodao. When Yi Xiaodao reacted, Jian Liuyun was already standing next to Yi Xiaodao, supporting Yi Xiaodao's shoulders and said with a smile: "Then you, a big man, can beat me." Is this a bitch? Don’t worry, He Yue’er is fine, I’ve sent her and Fu Qing home.”
"when will you…"
"If you lose, I will not die with you. I will immediately turn around, take them away, and hide back in the capital." Jian Liuyun blinked at Yi Xiaodao: "How about it? I will save you Wu Dinggong from worries. ?”
Yi Xiaodao's face fell. This woman was actually faster than him. He was planning to send someone to send them away as soon as they left the tent.
"Fu Qing risked his life to save Sister Yue'er back then. Now that they are sent back together, they can indeed be taken care of." Xiang Lian'er agreed.
"Okay, don't waste any time. Make a decision quickly." Jian Liuyun urged.
Yi Xiaodao stood up and said with finality: "That's it. Let's all rest early and set off early tomorrow morning!"
It was a dark and windy night, and Yi Xiaodao stood alone outside the tent, looking at the bright moon in the sky. Ever since he met He Yue'er, Yi Xiaodao has become very fond of admiring the moon, houses and crows.
"Is Wu Dinggong so cheerful every day?" Li Dingxing walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.
Yi Xiaodao glanced at it and said with a smile: "I heard that Duke Zhongyi transplanted many lotus flowers into the pond at his residence. I have never discovered this hobby before."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Li Dingxing stretched out his right hand from behind, holding a wine jar, shaking it at Yi Xiaodao and winking.
"Hey, drinking is prohibited in the army!" Yi Xiaodao pointed at Li Dingxing and shouted.
"What are you yelling about? It's just such an altar, even if there are people shouting, there won't be enough people!" Li Dingxing became anxious.
Yi Xiaodao nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Oh, you told me earlier. Is there anything to eat? How about I steal another chicken?"
Li Dingxing rolled his eyes at him: "You've already given someone a title, and you still want to steal it?" After saying that, he stretched out his left hand, and it turned out to be a fragrant roast chicken wrapped in oil paper.
"The relationship is good! The relationship is good! Let's go." Yi Xiaodao grabbed Li Dingxing by the waist and hugged him. Without waiting for him to speak, he mobilized his inner strength and took him towards the top of Tianzhu Mountain.
After a while, the two reached the top of the mountain, sat down with a smile, and ate and drank.
Summer is scorching hot, but there is a cool breeze blowing on the top of Tianzhu Mountain, which makes people feel very happy.
"Let me tell you, if you hadn't stopped me in Tongcheng, I would have stolen all the chickens from the old lady's house! Every time I think about this, I get so angry that my teeth itch!"
"Oh? Really? Then when you were in Jiucheng, you wouldn't be angry if you were chased and bitten by a dog? Hahahaha."
"That one is not angry. There is indeed a reason for it. I didn't know it was his bowl. It's cleaner than the bowl I used to beg for food. Daqi is so rich!" Yi Xiaodao chewed the chicken feet in his mouth. With relish.
"Time flies, it's like a dream..." Li Dingxing's cheeks were slightly red, and he took a big sip of the wine in the jar.
Yi Xiaodao snatched the jar: "Leave some for me. Gudong, Gudong, ha, everything in Wancheng is good, except for the wine. This wine is terrible. If you want to talk about good wine, it has to be Nanhuai's Lanqiaoyue. That’s called an intoxicant!”
"Xiao Dao, I want to ask you something." Li Dingxing said suddenly without answering.
Yi Xiaodao put down the jar and glared at Li Dingxing: "Please? Then you can ask someone else to go, and you don't have to ask me."
Li Dingxing smiled and answered as expected: "Xianlian'er has been with me for so long, but my stomach has not moved. Do you think it will..."
Yi Xiaodao put down the jar and asked: "Is this what you should worry about? You should worry about tomorrow's water battle, whether you can show off the style of the Nanhuai Army, and how to reduce the casualties of your subordinates, instead of worrying about this! Shouldn't you worry about it? Do you want me to try it?"
Li Dingxing punched Yi Xiaodao hard: "I'm serious! I want you to ask someone from Si Tianjian for help after you return to Beijing... If I go to find it, I won't open my mouth..."
Yi Xiaodao handed over the wine jar, put his arm around Li Dingxing's shoulders and said, "If you want a child, you can either work harder on Xiang Lian'er, or you can take a concubine and make your own choice. If I go, it will be easier for me to speak. What will happen to Xiang Lian'er? How about taking a concubine? Xiang Lian'er is also a reasonable person, I can persuade her later."
Li Dingxing looked at Yi Xiaodao and didn't know for a moment whether what he said was true or false. In the end, he could only rely on his own understanding of him to judge: it was a lie.
Seeing that Li Dingxing was silent, Yi Xiaodao continued: "There is one more thing, I think you should consider it. Xiang Lian'er Xiang Lian'er, this is the name of a peasant girl, not even a surname. You have never considered letting Xiang Lian'er should give her a serious name?"
Li Dingxing was dumbfounded. He had indeed not considered this issue.
"Really? So you young people don't think things through carefully!" Yi Xiaodao himself is not very old, but at this time he acted like he was relying on his old age: "Xiang Lian'er has no relatives, so just take my surname as Yi." Okay. I am also a father-in-law now, so I will not insult her. When this battle is over, I will talk to her after returning to Beijing. As for the child, if I were you, I would go down the mountain right now and find Xiang Lian'er again. Use your strength..."
The alcohol was rising, and Li Dingxing was a little interested in being talked about, and he was ready to make a move.
"Hey, let me tell you, are you guys playing seriously? You won't go the wrong way, right?" Yi Xiaodao smiled narrowly.
Li Dingxing was confused: "Huh?"
