Jade vast canal.
Zhongli Qiuyang stood on the deck of the flagship Guangling, letting the biting river wind hit his face.
Standing half a step behind him was Wang Zheng Jinzhong.
Wang Zheng Jinzhong has already roughly talked about the things about Li Chenan's entry into Kyoto.
On the right side of Zhongli Qiuyang stood a heroic girl.
She is Cheng Yiren, Princess Yunchen!
Zhongli Qiuyang turned his head and looked at Wang Zhengjinzhong with curiosity in his eyes: "Then is he the eldest son of the emperor?"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong bowed his hands and said, "This... I have asked Lord Changsun before."
"What did Lord Changsun say?"
"Lord Changsun said that he is the eldest son of the emperor!"
Zhongli Qiuyang was startled, thinking that this was too dramatic.
If it weren't for his sister Zhongli Ruoshui, he would never have been able to deal with Li Chenan.
Even if his sister and Li Chenan walked together later, he would only think that Li Chenan was a little liar who deceived his sister with his poems!
But that little liar is okay.
He is not as stupid as the neighbors in Guangling City say.
In addition, his wine is very good.
And Huang Sanlie spoke very highly of him——
Huang Sanlie's status in Zhongli Mansion is transcendent. Since he said so, it means that the boy is worthy of his sister.
But later news came from Kyoto that Li Chenan was the eldest son of the emperor... This made him laugh for ten breaths.
Isn’t this nonsense?
Li Chenan, a native of Guangling, is still possible to say that he is the illegitimate son of the Li family. How could he be involved in the identity of the emperor's eldest son?
But then the rumors became more and more mysterious. Now I asked Wang Zheng Jinzhong in detail. After learning about the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, after learning about Changsun Jinghong’s attitude towards Li Chenan...
Zhongli Qiuyang began to doubt himself.
Grandpa also talked about this when he came to the Navy.
No affirmation, no denial.
Grandma's attitude was the same.
This is as confusing as this fog.
But the fog will eventually clear, and Li Chenan's life experience... seems even more confusing.
"What does he think?"
"This... Sir, Mr. Xiao Li just laughed it off."
"Oh, that's a good attitude... When I go to Kyoto and meet him, I'll see if he looks like the eldest son of the emperor."
The naval fleet cut through the waves.
Just after noon, the fleet had entered Shuangjiao Lake.
This is an extremely wide lake.
The thick fog has cleared. Standing on the deck and looking around, you can already see the islands like islands on the ethereal lake.
This is the Shuangjiao Islands across the Yuguangdao Canal.
"Li Chenan really used a trick to get these water bandits to connect the ships together?"
"Sir, the Imperial City Department has checked and it is indeed true."
Zhongli Qiuyang laughed, "This kid does have some tricks up his sleeve, but he only brought a few hundred people with him in Shuangjiao Mountain, and faced Ji An's 20,000-strong army. Will he be in danger? "
"Sir Xiao Li said that in the deep mountains and forests, having too many people is not a good thing."
"He wants to ambush the enemy?"
"Sir, Mr. Li is going to use fireworks to blow up the enemy!"
"...What are fireworks?"
"Artifact, a powerful artifact invented by Master Xiao Li himself!"
Zhongli Qiuyang already knew that the blacksmith shop at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain could make the best knives in the world, and that the smelting method was created by his future brother-in-law.
It's just that the output of the knife is limited, and now he can only wait helplessly.
At this moment, he heard Wang Zheng Jinzhong talk about fireworks so seriously, and he became more and more curious.
Curiosity about this artifact.
I am also curious about the brother-in-law.
It's just his sister's body... The look on Zhongli Qiuyang's face dimmed slightly. He stood with his hands behind his back. After a while, he saw the iron chain blocking the river in the distance!
A boat appeared on the river.
That's a small boat.
The boat had obviously spotted this huge fleet!
It quickly turned the ship's bow and headed towards an island.
Zhongli Qiuyang issued an order——
"Full speed ahead!"
The oars rowed faster, and the fleet was closer to the connected bridge.
Someone was running fast on the bridge of the ship, and someone was yelling loudly.
As a result, more and more people were on the bridge, and they seemed to be untying the iron cables connecting the bridge.
The fleet lined up on the river.
Zhongli Qiuyang ordered the flag bearer to play the flag message——
There were more than eighty warships, and many masters suddenly flew out!
They flew toward the ship bridge in the face of the enemy's hurried arrow rain.
They waved their weapons to block the enemy's shots...the arrows that were not blocked fell into the river.
They stood on the bridge, some started fighting with the enemy, and some poured kerosene on the bridge.
Half an hour later, these people flew away from the bridge, leaving behind the burning fire certificates.
A fire dragon appeared in Shuangjiao Lake!
The lake water was reflected red by the blazing fire.
On the main island of Shuangjiao Island, a burly middle-aged man with a thin face was frowning at the fire dragon.
He looked at it for a long time and then asked an old man next to him:
"How much food has been shipped?"
"Back to the island owner, it's only less than 20%."
"Whose bad idea was it to connect hundreds of ships together?"
"This...this was Xiang Ji's idea!"
"This old guy ruined my big job!"
"Island Master, what should we do now?"
"Walk!"
"...Where to go?"
"Huaishan County!"
…
…
Heartbroken Valley.
Ji An looked at his scout Yingying Changqing suspiciously.
Chang Qing's clothes were all in tatters.
The wound on his leg was simply shocking.
His face was pale, with pain and anger on his face.
"General, if you don't save His Highness the Second Prince... I'm worried that something bad will happen to His Highness and Your Highness!"
"How did you escape?"
"After the villain was hit by the arrow, he rolled down the mountain through the thick fog. Their target was His Highness the Second Prince. No one came to chase the villain, so the villain survived by luck."
"How many of them are there?"
"Back to the general, there are four hundred soldiers wearing black armor, and four to five hundred women's troops."
Ji An was startled, "Women's Army? Where did they come from?"
"I don't know, I don't know. I think they are the women who have been singing in the mountains and fields these past two days."
Ji An pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the old man, "What do you think? Could it be Li Chenan's conspiracy?"
The old man frowned and thought for a moment, "Probably not."
"General, the people we sent to pick up the second prince have not returned. Li Chenan's people are in Liangfengya. It is obvious that Li Chenan deliberately set up an ambush in Liangfengya to eat the second prince's soldiers first."
"If we go out of the Broken Heart Valley at this time and attack the Second Prince from both sides, even if those women's troops are his, Li Chenan's, they will only number in the thousands."
"I think that instead of waiting here, it is better to take the initiative... Firstly, it can relieve the danger of His Highness the Second Prince, and secondly, it can end this matter earlier. After all, the matter in Kyoto is serious, and the general will feel at ease if he goes back earlier."
Ji An is still hesitating.
Because an unidentified person was found on Eagle Beak Cliff.
If it's not his own, it must be Li Chenan's, most likely from the Imperial City Division!
at this time.
Above the cave, Zhou Shiba looked at the jar in his hand curiously, then lit the fuse and threw it down!
Could this thing blow up Ji An to death?
