The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 44
The Xiliu Ferry is also extremely lively, with warships constantly gathering here, either carrying grain and grass, or carrying siege equipment.

King Geli sent two thousand soldiers to guard the ferry day and night to prevent any changes.

It's also fortunate that He Qingyi went early, otherwise, even if she was in the name of guarding the bodyguard, she would never have thought of going to Quzhou Island.

The people Chen Jianghan sent to purchase porcelain pots were blocked at Xiliu Ferry, unable to return to Quzhou Island.

Over the past few years, Mr. Ge Li has been continuously recruiting private soldiers. Up to now, the number of soldiers has reached 2, divided into six armies, each with more than [-] soldiers.Just this, not counting the garrisons in various places, if you add the garrisons stationed in various counties, there will be an additional [-] people.

Of course, if he didn't have so many troops, he wouldn't have the confidence to attack Quzhou Island.

But that day and night, there was still a small boat drifting towards Quzhou Island.

The soldiers digging the traps have all rested, and only the night watchmen are still patrolling along the coast of Quzhou Island.

The boat rowed straight towards the cliff on the west side of the island in the night. Above the cliff was a corner of the Southern Song Palace.

In the past, Xiaojin, the Lewu sisters, and those men in black all climbed up from here.For ordinary people, climbing this cliff is naturally as difficult as climbing the sky, but for Lianjiazi with a little skill, as long as he has an iron claw hook in his hand, it is not too difficult to climb up.

I saw the boat docked on the cliff, and then the figure on the boat climbed up with bare hands.

She has a very strong figure, and she only uses her hands and feet like a gecko on the cliff, climbing fast, and her posture is quite beautiful.

In less than ten minutes, she had already climbed to the edge of the cliff, then jumped into the woods and ran towards the palace.

She didn't stop until tens of meters away from the palace, hiding behind a tree.

Having been stabbed twice before, Zhao Dongting learned his lesson, and now he has ordered his soldiers to cut down all the trees within five meters of the palace wall.Even at night, there are two teams of guards patrolling back and forth here holding torches.

Not to mention people, even bats, if they want to pass through the five-meter blank area, they have to be spotted by the guards.

The man hid behind the tree and thought for a while, after a few minutes, he pursed his red lips, and suddenly heard a few bird songs.

The patrolling guards of the two teams didn't feel anything unusual, but in Zhao Dongting's bedroom, Le Wu suddenly jumped up, "Sister is here!"

Both she and Ying'er are still awake, and they are here with Zhao Dongting.These days, it is common for Zhao Dongting to stay up late.

Zhao Dongting hadn't seen Le Wu in such high spirits for a long time. He was startled when he was thinking about something. When he recovered, he couldn't help showing surprise, "Your sister is here? Where is she?"

Le Wu smiled and said: "Listen to the bird's cry, only my sister and I can learn it."

As she spoke, she also pursed her pink lips, learned a few bird songs, and then hurriedly ran outside.

Zhao Dongting also hurriedly followed.

Ever since he saw Le Chan's face that night, he still can't forget it.

Yinger and Li Yuanxiu naturally followed quickly.

When they got outside, Yue Wu had already climbed onto the wall.However, she was stunned again, and then jumped down again, walking back with her head down.

Zhao Dongting asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

He could also hear the birdsong coming from outside the wall, and he didn't think it was funny, but Le Chan still chose to climb the cliff.

Yue Wu dejectedly said: "I'd better not see my sister, about Xiao Jin..."

She has been heartbroken for Xiaojin these days, and she was very happy to learn that her sister came here, but when she was on the wall, she suddenly remembered that her sister would definitely ask Xiaojin, which made her heart very complicated.She really didn't know how to face her sister, who also regarded Xiao Jin as her closest partner.

Zhao Dongting was also stunned, and then sighed: "This is my fault, I will tell your sister."

Le Wu said: "But my sister will still be sad."

Zhao Dongting said: "But she will know sooner or later, won't she?"

As he spoke, he walked to the wall, asked Li Yuanxiu to lift him up to the wall, and shouted to the forest outside: "Is it Miss Le Chan? Please come here!"

The patrolling guards were stunned when they saw their emperor climbing the wall and calling some girl.

Le Chan came out from the forest, went to the open space, and knelt down on the ground, "The daughter of the people, Le Chan, has seen the emperor."

Although she was dressed in black, she still outlined her figure, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a straight nose, making her look extremely beautiful.

Seeing that it was really her, Zhao Dongting was overjoyed, and said again and again: "Please hurry up, please hurry up, Miss Le Chan, please come in!"

The two teams of guards knelt on the ground to salute, but he didn't have time to pay attention.

Le Chan stood up, walked to the wall, jumped up suddenly, took two steps on the wall, and she was already on the top of the wall, graceful like a fairy.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting saw that the color was giving the soul, and he felt that the soul was flying to Le Chan.

Le Chan didn't see his eyes, but seeing Le Wu was below, she hurriedly jumped down and walked to her sister.

Yue Wu yelled with a low eyebrow, "Sister."

Le Chan knew her temperament very well, seeing her so well-behaved, rubbed her head, and asked with a smile: "Why so well-behaved? Did something happen again?"

In the past, if this younger sister didn't see her for a few days, she would always throw herself into her arms.

Le Wu didn't dare to say anything about Jin Long, she still lowered her head and said, "Sister, why are you here? Where's father?"

Le Chan said softly: "Father's condition has improved and he is resting at home. I have nothing to do, so I came to see you thinking about it."

A few days ago, Le Wu wrote a letter to her family, saying that she is now working as a personal maid by Zhao Dongting's side.

For this matter, Le Chan still felt a little grateful to Zhao Dongting.Not only did she ignore the past, but she also treated her sister so kindly.

Zhao Dongting also jumped off the wall at this time, let Li Yuanxiu land next to Le Chan, looked at it with a smile on his face, and didn't speak.

After the two sisters finished speaking these two sentences, he said: "It's cool outside, why don't you go to my bedroom and talk again?"

The temperature difference between day and night on Quzhou Island is huge. During the day, the temperature is extremely high and the sun is hot, but at night it is a bit cold.

Le Chan thanked her, and they went to Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

Once inside, Zhao Dongting asked Yinger to get some refreshments and fruits, and then looked at Le Chan with a smile.

Because he was just a child, Le Chan didn't think it was weird when he looked at him like this.

Yue Wu was always thinking about Xiao Jin's matter in her heart, she lowered her head and did not speak.

Le Chan asked Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, is Le Wu still obedient in the palace?"

This is what she is most worried about. The so-called companion is like a tiger, and Kelewu has a wild temper. She is really worried about what will happen to her sister.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dongting quickly replied: "Be obedient, very obedient, she even saved my life!"

Le Chan didn't know about the assassination by the man in black, so she asked strangely, "She saved your life?"

Zhao Dongting then told all about the man in black and Yue Wu took him to jump into the sea and was rescued by Xiao Jin.

It's just that he didn't directly mention Xiao Jin's death, fearing that Le Chan would not be able to accept it for a while.

After hearing this, Le Chan couldn't help showing a few smiles on her usually cool and pretty face, and then asked, "What about Xiao Jin?"

Le Wu beside him couldn't help sobbing softly.

Zhao Dongting said: "Xiaojin it..."

Before she finished speaking, Le Chan already sensed that something was wrong, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongting couldn't bear to continue talking.

Le Chan stared at Le Wu, her tone was rather serious, "Little sister, where is Xiao Jin?"

Le Wu just cried.

Zhao Dongting apologized and said: "Miss Le Chan, I am to blame for this. I was injured by a thief with a hidden weapon that night, and the hidden weapon was poisoned. In order to save my life, Le Wu had no choice but to give me Xiaojin's snake gall. If you are angry, vent your anger on me..."

Le Chan's face turned even paler, her delicate body swayed a few times, and she almost fainted.

In her heart, Xiao Jin is her family.

At this moment, endless sadness invaded her heart.

But how could she vent her anger on Zhao Dongting?

She also understood very well that the little girl must be helpless, so she endured the heartache and took off Xiaojin's snake gall with her own hands.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that the little girl must be more sad than herself at this moment.

She couldn't help but shed tears, and hugged Yue Wu, who bowed her head and sobbed, and the sisters cried with their heads in their arms.

Zhao Dongting watched from the side, while blaming himself, he secretly swore in his heart that when Ge Lijun was dealt with, those men in black must be caught!

Yinger came in with tea and fruit, saw the two sisters were crying, quietly put the things on the table, without saying a word.

After a long time, the sisters gradually stopped crying.

Le Chan's eyes were red, but she still wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for Le Wu, and said softly: "Xiao Jin died to save the emperor, and it is a well-deserved death, little sister, don't be too sad. If my sister was here, she would choose Do the same as you."

Le Wu, who had just stopped crying, almost cried again when she heard this.

Le Chan herself was really sad, she stood up and said to Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the girls will take their leave first."

Now she really wants to find a place to hide and cry.

Zhao Dongting was naturally reluctant for her to leave, thought for a while, and said: "Miss Le Chan's father's condition has improved, why don't you stay in the palace for a few days? Now the magistrate of Leizhou Geli wants to rebel, and he will come to attack Quzhou Island in a few days , with you here, I can also protect Le Wu."

As he spoke, he even grunted towards Le Wu who bowed his head and said nothing.

Le Chan also hesitated for a moment.
