too affectionate

Chapter 172
After an unknown amount of time, the old man bowed his body tremblingly, picked up the oars with trembling hands like a sieve, but tremblingly, he had no strength to support the boat.

At this moment, Heng Li got up cautiously, and gently took the oar from the old man.

The old man was still in a daze, not even realizing that the oar in his hand was gone.

Seeing this, Wanyan hurriedly helped the old man into the cabin and sat down.

The old man has completely lost consciousness and is at the mercy of others like a doll.

It was only then that Wanyan realized that the old man's eyes were red and swollen, as if two blood pits had been dug out of his face, which were hollow and terrifying.

Wanyan couldn't bear to look at the old man, so she went to the bow of the boat and sat at Heng Li's feet.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Heng Li swung the oars one after another. Under the calm expression, his eyes were focused and dark.

This is a typical expression of Heng Li thinking, Wanyan didn't bother him, she stretched out her right hand, and a blue wind was released from her palm, and floated behind the boat, driving the water waves to push the boat forward more easily and faster.

Just when Wanyan was silently thinking about what to do after going ashore, Heng Li behind Wanyan spoke.

"Yan'er, go directly to Qingyuan Mansion after you go ashore."

"Why!" Wanyan stood up with a "swoosh" when she heard the words, looked straight into Heng Li's eyes and protested, "I'm going to Sien Military and Civil Mansion!"

The Sien Military and Civil Mansion is only a few tens of miles away from the Taiping Mansion. Now that the Taiping Mansion has been destroyed, the one that is directly exposed to the enemy is also the most critical one, which is the Sien Military and Civil Mansion.

Although the situation in Qingyuan Mansion is also imminent, the location is still behind Sien Military and Civil Mansion, which is much safer in comparison.

Wanyan is naturally unwilling to hide behind, but she also knows that Heng Li's decision has never been allowed to be changed by anyone.

Even so, Wanyan tried her best to fight for it again.

"Are you going to Sien Military and Civil Mansion by yourself!"

Wanyan crossed her hips and raised her momentum to question.

"Yes." Heng Li didn't hide anything, and nodded bluntly.

"Then why you can go, but I have to go to Qingyuan Mansion?"

Heng Li propped up the boat, and answered Wanyan's question in an unhurried manner.

"Because Qingyuan Mansion also needs someone to support it."

Heng Li replied calmly, just when Wanyan was about to speak, Heng Li had already explained herself.

"Now that we two 'grassmen' rush to help the conductor, I'm afraid we won't be welcomed anywhere, and we won't even be allowed to participate.

The military and civilian government is different from other state capitals. The prefects of the local state capitals do not control the soldiers, but the military and civilian government prefects control both the government and the soldiers.

In contrast, it is even more difficult to perform it in the Sien Military and Civilian Mansion. "

Heng Li's explanation came to an abrupt end, but Wanyan already understood everything.

Facing a fourth-rank local official with political power and military power, and a fifth-rank Beijing official of the Ministry of Punishment, he is still in charge of illegal affairs in the capital. He is young, so naturally he has no prestige. Participating in the command and envoy meeting is simply a fantasy.

In contrast, Jin Yiwei has more right to speak. After all, the three characters Jin Yiwei originally symbolizes insidiousness and viciousness, and strong martial arts.

Internally, they are only responsible to the emperor, and externally they are the emperor's cronies. No matter where they go, they are characters that everyone fears. Naturally, they are easy to talk to in Si'en Military and Civilian Mansion.

"Okay, okay..." Wanyan curled her lips and reluctantly agreed.

Seeing that Wanyan was persuaded, but still unwilling, Heng Li had to emphasize it to her.

"But you must not be negligent just because Qingyuan Mansion is in the rear.

You must know that although the Sien Military and Civilian Mansion is in the front, due to the perennial military training and sufficient military equipment, there are at least 5 troops in the garrison. Even if you face the enemy directly, you still have the strength to fight.

However, Qingyuan Mansion has been rotten for too long, the whole city has less than [-] defenders, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled for the army's salary, not to mention how backward and loose the city defense is, and how old and scarce the armaments are. up.

Whenever the enemy has an inside line in Qingyuan Mansion, or learns about the situation in Qingyuan Mansion, they will definitely turn around and bypass Sien Military and Civilian Mansion immediately, take Qingyuan Mansion first, and then jointly attack Sien Military and Civilian Mansion with the already fallen Taiping Mansion Forming an encirclement trend makes it easier to break through.

So don't be careless, you must quickly reorganize the entire city's equipment and make preparations for defending the city in advance, and also count the entire city's people to avoid traitors who betray the country to survive and tip off the enemy. "

Heng Li said with a serious face, wishing to get into Wanyan's ear and tell her, for fear that she would not listen.

This is also an important reason why he let Wanyan go to Qingyuan Mansion

Being able to bring Wanyan by his side, naturally he can protect her well.

But Wanyan lost a chance to be alone.

It can be said that this kind of opportunity for the emperor to come to the city from far away is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is an excellent opportunity to train Wanyan to lead the troops.

So even though Heng Li wanted to keep Wanyan by his side, she still pushed her out cruelly.

Wanyan remembered Heng Li's earnest exhortations verbatim, and she couldn't close her mouth in surprise.

"Wow... Sir, isn't it the first time for you to go to the southwestern border? How come you are so familiar with the situation of Suizhou Prefecture, even the military situation of a subordinate government?"

Wanyan raised her small face, the admiration in her eyes was beyond words.

What is this? Since Heng Li was three or four years old, seven or eight of the most knowledgeable masters in the whole continent have surrounded him, teaching him how to form troops, teaching him the customs and customs of various countries and regions, so that the supreme being in the world can understand what he has learned. The mainland under his command is well aware of it.

When Heng Li was seven or eight years old, he was already familiar with the deployment and armament of the two major countries and dozens of feudal vassals in the whole mainland, and updated his memory from time to time according to the changing situation.

"Are you listening to me carefully?"

Heng Li looked at the little girl with glowing eyes in front of her, and frowned.

"I listened, I listened!" Seeing that Heng Li was about to get angry, Wanyan nodded her head quickly.

Heng Li resented the lack of steel, stretched out his hand and flicked Wanyan's forehead, and continued to instruct her.

"Also, when you first arrived in Qingyuan Mansion, don't reveal your identity, just say that you are a commoner who came to offer advice.

Don't rush if you don't get reused, just watch from the sidelines, and don't stop if there are no major mistakes.

Now that the Southwest is in turmoil, it is not known whether there are detailed operations in the Qingyuan Mansion.Premature exposure of identity is likely to cause panic in the spy, and it is hard to prevent it from taking advantage of the panic. "

When Wanyan heard this, she couldn't help admiring Heng Li secretly in her heart, after all, she was more thoughtful than herself, she nodded repeatedly and said: "I know, I know!"

In this way, under the blessing of the wind, the boat quickly approached the mainland, twice as fast as the original journey.
