Chapter 397 Is that the old man your father arranged for you again?
"It's not as simple as you little girl said?" Li Chungang laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "Who wins and who loses will only be known after the fight."
"How about this, how about I agree to fight you when you are satisfied and return to the realm of land gods?"
Zhou Ji's understated voice came from the top of the boat on the second floor. Li Chungang's eyes were fixed, and the calmness in his eyes was filled with layers of fighting intent, and then returned to calm.
Jiang Ni glanced at the two of them left and right, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She just saw Li Chungang's embarrassment, so she made a joke, but Zhou Ji took the initiative to ask Li Chungang to fight, "You don't really want to fight, do you?"
"Sooner or later, there will be a fight." Seeing Jiang Ni's remorseful expression, Li Chungang couldn't help laughing and said, "I've locked myself up for so many years, and my hands are already itchy. However, I have to wait until Emperor Wu to fight." After seeing Wang Xianzhi in the city."
"There are not many people in the world who are qualified to fight me. Wang Xianzhi is one of them. This kid is mysterious, so let's count him as one." , can feel a kind of uneasy danger emanating from him at all times.
This kind of danger is hidden under the warm and friendly appearance, even Ru Jian Jiuhuang, the old man at the bottom of the lake, and even Zhao Xituan cannot detect it.
Not aware of it, not because they are too weak.
But because, this is the supreme coercion that only belongs to the way of the sword.
Li Chungang withdrew his gaze and looked quietly at the river in the distance.
This person is not a pure swordsman, but has a pure sword.
Zhou Ji took a step forward, and an invisible celestial road appeared in the void. He came to the two of them, looked up and down, and said, "I'm afraid you can't beat Wang Xianzhi at your current level, right?"
Jiang Ni was worried again after hearing this.
Although this Li Jianshen is a bit sloppy and needs to be reprimanded with a straight face every day before he is willing to wash his hands and feet, he treats her pretty well.
The last Lao Huang who challenged Wang Xianzhi was already 'dead in battle', if Li Jianshen was like Lao Huang
"It's hard to say." Li Chungang didn't feel angry because of Zhou Ji's words, "When I fought with him, I lost by a small margin, but now. I haven't touched the sword for a long time, and it's really a bit unfamiliar."
Noticing the worry in Jiang Ni's eyes, Li Chungang said with an open mind: "But it's okay, let's fight~ just be happy, don't think about winning or losing."
"I hope you win" Jiang Ni pursed her lips and said softly.
Li Chungang smiled and said, "Then I thank you."
"Nowadays, no one in this world treats me well. You are not bad." Jiang Ni proudly turned her head and looked away, took out a delicate and small pointed dagger from her sleeve, and handed it over, "Here, this is for you."
Zhou Ji recognized that this hairpin-sized short sword was Jiang Ni's only talisman to represent her identity, and he hesitated to speak, but didn't tell her that this thing would not help Li Chungang.
Li Chungang also recognized this object, and his heart was inexplicably touched, and he said, "You want to give me the talisman?"
Jiang Ni replied: "I borrowed it from you, and return it to me immediately after the call."
Li Chungang took the dagger, put it on the bun as a hair pin, pointed and smiled.
After a few days.
The boat crossed the Yanzi River and sailed into Chunshen Lake in Qingzhou.
The 800-mile Chunshen Lake, which accommodates six rivers and flows through the river, has always been a place for military strategists to fight to the death.
Jiang Ni went straight back to the cabin. Like a thief, she took out a money box from the luggage, and took out an account book from it. "A" and "Green Snake with Two Sleeves", when and where each book was read, and how many words were read in each book, there are detailed records.
Because Li Chungang competed with Zhou Ji in private, he almost moved out his own family property. The sword immortal kneeling in the rain, and the famous stunt of the two-sleeved green snake were included in the two books. , Xu Fengnian seemed to understand.
Since you don’t understand, you can only read it a few times.
In the end Xu Fengnian still vaguely understood, but Jiang Ni had already memorized it backwards.
These days, the little girl would count the copper coins one by one in front of the account book every day, as if she could get a few more coins by doing it a few times.
The surface of the lake is filled with mist and the sky is gray. It seems that a giant building boat is coming from the depths of the fog, looming, like a giant, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Zhou Ji stood facing the wind with a flower pot in his hand, looking at the building boat from a distance, and then at the boat he was sitting on.
Although Beiliang can fight, it is only limited to land. King Jing’an’s Yangshui master entrenched Chunshen Lake is to use natural dangers to reject Beiliang.
This caused Bei Liang to be unable to form a navy for a long time, and the movement of ships was also restricted. Even Xu Fengnian could only find an ordinary merchant ship, not a large building ship.
Zhou Ji stroked his chin thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "It's such a big ship, it's considered a luxury cruise ship in this era, right? Why don't you discuss with them and exchange the old ship for us?"
Two vines cross each other, like a proud woman standing with folded arms, the buds rise up, throwing Zhou Ji a supercilious look.
Hurrying footsteps came from behind, Xu Fengnian came from the cabin, and said in a deep voice: "That is the Huanglonglou ship of the Qingzhou Navy, it seems that the visitor is not kind."
"Isn't that just right?" Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Small boats are not as wide-sighted as big boats after all, so I can ask them to change them."
While speaking, another large ship approached from behind and quickly approached them.
Xu Fengnian frowned slightly, and Zhao Kai on the boat in the distance also frowned.
"Why is there another ship there?"
The prince of Jing'an didn't know where the building ship came from, but the Jing'an palace didn't make a sound, who would dare to come to pick up Xu Fengnian? So he waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "It's okay, that's also the Qingzhou Navy."
After listening to the explanation, Zhao Kai's frown did not relax, he looked at the two ships approaching, but there was no sign of action, he hesitated: "They seem to be really going to pick up Xu Fengnian."
Prince Jing'an lowered his arms, and recognized the familiar figure standing on the boat. It was Wang Linquan, an aide of Prince Jing'an's mansion.
"It's strange, could it be that the father meant it?"
On the vast lake, there is no escape.
"You can't do anything today, so as not to spoil the father's plan." Prince Jing'an shook his head, his face sinking like water, and ordered his subordinates, "Turn around and go back to the camp."
Zhao Kai looked back at Xu Fengnian, shook his head, sighed, and followed Prince Jing'an.
"Is it so difficult to kill a brother-in-law?"
"Tsk~ It's running so fast, but this one is still okay."
Zhou Ji turned his gaze back from the Huanglonglou ship that disappeared into the mist, and looked up and down at another building boat parked next to it.
I saw an excited old man in a gray robe lying on the fence looking at Zhou Ji and Xu Fengnian on the deck. He looked at Xu Fengnian with some uncertainty, as if he was comparing himself with someone in his memory. Confirmed with an excited tone: "May I ask that your Excellency is Xu Fengnian, the eldest son of Beiliang?"
Zhou Ji didn't feel any hostility towards the other party, so he couldn't help wondering, "Is that the old man your father arranged for you again?"
Xu Fengnian himself was still confused, but when he heard Zhou Ji's complaints, he almost spat out old blood.
Subconsciously wanted to refute, but was speechless, so he had no choice but to step forward suspiciously, generously admitting his identity, and wanted to see what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd.
However, when he revealed that he was Xu Fengnian, the other party excitedly called him "Senior", took a step back, knelt down on the deck with a thud~, choked with tears in his eyes, and said, "Old slave Wang Linquan, I have seen your son."
Xu Fengnian thought back to the other party's "Old Slave" in his mind, and he took a moment to notice this person's name, and said with a trace of disbelief: "Wang Linquan, are you the God of Wealth under King Jing'an?"
"Going to King Jing'an is just following orders, and the old slave is actually the former Ministry of Beiliang." Wang Linquan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said firmly.
Shu shame came out of the cabin, and explained to Xu Fengnian: "It was originally arranged by the prince that Wang Linquan went to Qingzhou. I have been in secret contact with Wang Linquan these years."
Sure enough, it was arranged by Xu Xiao again.
poof~
Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing out loud, Xu Fengnian glared at Zhou Ji angrily, then glanced at Shu Shu next to him, and the taciturn blue bird.
There are also **** paste, sweet potatoes, young fish and maidservants in the courtyard.
My heart is a little more balanced.
Actually, they are not all old men~~
Xu Fengnian looked up at Wang Linquan who was kneeling in front of him, sighed faintly, and said with a complicated expression: "It's not easy for you to lurk beside King Jing'an for many years. Wouldn't it be a waste of all your previous efforts if you kneel today?"
"The day the son arrives in Qingzhou is the time when the old slave resumes his status as the North Star Army." Tears welled up in Wang Linquan's eyes again, and he stretched out his finger tremblingly, "This day, the old slave has waited for too long."
Zhou Ji finally got his wish. He boarded the upstairs boat and stood on the bow of the boat. His vision was indeed much wider.
Wang Linquan arranged for the entourage, Xu Fengnian walked to Zhou Ji with a complicated expression, and said somewhat disappointedly: "How many hidden moves does Xu Xiao have that I haven't let me know? Why is everything in his calculations?"
Zhou Ji looked as usual and said: "Your father has been strategizing for decades, and the number of chess pieces in his hand is naturally far more than you, but you should not deify him too much. There is no difference between your methods of playing chess. Since your father let you Wang Linquan exposed his identity, he must have planned to use him as an abandoned son, and use his son in exchange for your safety, if not, how can we appease King Jing'an's anger?"
Xu Fengnian also thought of this, his face turned pale, it is not impossible to act like Xu Xiao.
"I'm afraid, this is also a multiple-choice question assigned by Xu Xiao. If I can save the lives of Wang Linquan and his family, and leave Qingzhou safely, I can recover Wang Linquan and increase my prestige in the North Star Army. In the future, I will take over Beiliang to pave the way." Xu Fengnian said with a wry smile, "There are two easy and difficult roads, no matter how I choose, I still can't escape his calculations."
Xu Fengnian turned around and looked at Zhou Ji, with a complicated expression on his face, "If you were me, what would you do?"
Zhou Ji glanced across the calm lake, looked away, and said with a smile, "If it were me, I wouldn't pass by Qingzhou."
Zhou Ji imitated Xu Fengnian's appearance when he was incarnated as 'Great Wisdom', and said confidently and calmly: "Wang Linquan has worked so hard for so many years, and finally won the trust of King Jing'an, and is in charge of the entire territory under King Jing'an's command. The benefits of exposure are much greater. As long as he doesn't pass through Qingzhou, he won't take the initiative to expose, and you don't need to bother about it anymore."
If it wasn’t for holding a flowerpot in your hand and snapping your fingers to list one, two, three, it would be more similar.
"You are talking about results. How could I know that he belongs to Xu Xiao before I came here?" Xu Fengnian didn't notice Zhou Ji's imitation show at all, curled his lips, and said disdainfully.
"So, why did you take the route planned by yourself and Xu Xiao?" Zhou Ji shrugged and said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know that this road is a test for you by Xu Xiao. Since you decided to take over Bei Liang, Then keep going."
Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "If there is any difficulty, please help me."
"That's natural." Zhou Ji looked at the island in the middle of the lake that was getting closer, and said with a smile: "It's been so long since I haven't fought, not only Li Jianshen's hands are itchy, but I'm also a little itchy."
On Grandma Island in the middle of the lake, Wang Linquan disembarked early and summoned all the family members of the mansion. There was a huge crowd, and they all knelt in front of Xu Fengnian to welcome the prince.
Xu Fengnian looked at the old and young in the crowd, pursed his lips, and quickly helped them up, dissuading Wang Linquan with the reason that the North Star Army cannot kneel down.
Hearing Xu Fengnian's words, "Being a soldier for one day, a soldier for a lifetime", Wang Linquan was deeply moved. He suddenly remembered something and called his daughter Chu Dong who was in the front row of the crowd. He said with a smile, "This is Wang's daughter named Chu Dong. , if the prince doesn't dislike it, let the little girl sleep tonight?"
"ah?"
When Wang Linquan said this, Xu Fengnian was dumbfounded, and Chu Dong was also surprised.
Zhou Ji held back his smile, grabbed Jiang Ni by the back collar, carried the little hedgehog with its teeth and claws, walked past the crowd, and gave Xu Fengnian a self-seeking look.
"Let me go~" Jiang Ni struggled to get down, but when Zhou Ji put her down, she looked at Xu Fengnian at the door from afar, unable to take a step.
"Poor parents in the world, Wang Linquan wants his daughter to stay in bed, but he actually wants to save his daughter's life." Zhou Jiyou sighed softly, and told Jiang Ni the analysis of himself and Xu Fengnian.
The indignation on Jiang Ni's face suddenly turned into pity, she turned her head, and said with a bit of anger: "What does this have to do with me?"
The tsundere girl always misses the point, Zhou Ji laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "Then let me talk to myself."
All the family members of the Wang family were sent back to the mansion, and Zhou Ji also left gracefully.
Jiang Ni hesitated for a moment, and quietly glanced at Xu Fengnian who was talking to Wang Linquan outside the door. When she looked away, she inadvertently saw Chu Dong, the daughter who had just been called away by Wang Linquan. Although Chu Dong was still shocked by the fact that her father sent Xu Fengnian to bed , but she also noticed this little maid who looked like a hedgehog.
Looking at each other, Jiang Ni recalled what Zhou Ji said just now with complicated feelings, and nodded slightly to her. Chu Dong also bowed back, but his eyes were a little strange, with a trace of unrecognizable pity.
Not right~! Is she pitying me?
