Dajin royal family

Chapter 22 Night Attack
Li Yaoshi blushed. He came to Jiang Chengxiao this time with this idea in mind, because he has stayed in Jinwuwei for a long time, and he patrols the palace every day. Really revive the Yasukuni government.

The drudgery of going to Qi County this time was passed on to him by those noble children, and he wanted to work hard and shine on his family.

It's just that before he could ask, the prince had already said it, which made him a little embarrassed.

Jiang Chengxiao glanced at him and knew what he was thinking now, so he said: "It's a pleasure for a man to make contributions in the battlefield, Li Lang will not have to do this. If I am healthy, Li Lang will think of me too."

After a pause, Jiang Chengxiao went on to say: "The grandpa hoped to know the destiny and went out to assist King Wen to create Jiang Qi's foundation. If General Li Lang gets the chance, he may not be able to stand out. Don't rush for a while. What's more, all the tribes in the frontier are like wolves, and the war is unstoppable." , if General Li Lang has talent in mind, he will definitely have a place to use it."

After hearing Jiang Chengxiao's words, Li Yaoshi was moved.When did the sons of the nobles in Beijing say this to him, it is very rare for this generation of princes to be noble and treat others peacefully.

"Pharmacist remember, Xie Shizi enlighten me." He bowed his hands.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled faintly, and said, "I didn't enlighten you, I just had nothing to do to relieve fatigue."

Hearing this, Pharmacist Li laughed.

"It's getting foggy."

Jiang Chengxiao looked at the thicker and thicker fog on the river, and murmured something.

Several large ships were moored on the river more than a dozen miles away from Lou Chuan.

A figure stood on the boat, and a soldier came up behind him, and said in a low voice: "General Wei, the water ghost detected an official ship of the imperial court not far ahead."

General Wei reprimanded angrily: "Idiot, it's General Ghost, not General Wei, are you a pig brain?"

The pawn immediately admitted his mistake and slapped himself.Seeing this, General Wei snorted coldly, and ordered: "Send a small boat to attack them immediately, remember, feint attack is enough."

"Don't kill people to silence them? Will letting them escape will attract officers and soldiers?"

General Wei smiled coldly, "I just want the officers and soldiers to know that someone attacked the imperial ship in Luoshui."

The pawn thought for a while, and echoed: "The general is very thoughtful, there are many water bandits in this water area, and they can be blamed."

General Wei directly ignored the flattery of the pawns, how could water bandits dare to attack the official ships of the court, slaves are slaves, uncivilized idiots.

"Quickly order down."

"Yes." The pawn took the order and went down.

After a while, another middle-aged man stepped onto the bow and stood shoulder to shoulder with General Wei.

"Third uncle, it's fine to leave this matter to my nephew, and you have to go there yourself, are you worried about my nephew's work?" General Wei said.

The middle-aged man said: "This matter is no small matter. If you miss it, it may implicate the family. Don't be careless. Don't be half-hearted, kid. If something goes wrong, be careful."

General Wei smiled sheepishly, "No, I must be careful. By the way, Third Uncle, if we attack the official ship of the court here, will the court think that the King of Han has sent troops?"

"It seems that you are not serious about ethnology."

General Wei was taken aback for a moment, puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with ethnology?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said, "Luoyang is the man's heart, and if something happens, he will be like a soldier."

General Wei scratched his head and said, "Who is that person?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man glared at him, "Do your job well and ask what you want!"

As night fell, the speed of the building boat slowed down because the waterway could not be seen clearly.Several small boats approached the official ship quietly, and their positions were quickly discovered by the escorting ships near the building boat.

The next moment, a rocket illuminated the pitch-black surface of the river, and then a large rain of fire quickly rose into the sky and flew towards the building ship.

"Enemy attack!"

An officer and soldier stood on the building boat, beating gongs and drums, and then a rocket shot him to death. Soon, the two sides fought fiercely, arrows flew horizontally, and shouts shook the night sky.

Jiang Chengxiao was wearing a long robe and standing in the cabin, surrounded by twenty house slaves with armor shields in their hands, as if he had shrunk into a tortoise shell.

His fingernails turned white, and he could hear the sound of arrows hitting the tall ship, as well as the shouts of officers and soldiers on board.He even felt that he heard the sound of burning flames.

About half an hour later, the sound outside suddenly stopped, as if a person died suddenly, and there was no movement.

After a while, Li Yaoshi of the Jinwu Guard walked into the cabin, and was taken aback when he saw twenty house slaves holding "turtle shells" made of armor shields, and then said: "My lord, the thieves have retreated."

Jiang Chengxiao waved his hand, and the servants withdrew their armor and shields. He saw that many places on Li Yaoshi's body were scorched black, and the mirror on his chest disappeared.There were some bloodstains on Li Yaoshi's face, and the tiger's mouth was also a little cracked.

"Shenju, bring some wound medicine to General Li Lang." Jiang Chengxiao said bluntly.

Pharmacist Li thanked him and applied some good wound medicine.

Jiang Chengxiao asked: "Do you know the identity of the other party?"

Yaoshi Li shook his head and said, "I don't know, the other party doesn't seem to be an ordinary water bandit. They only used arrows to attack the ship, and they didn't approach us directly, as if they were testing something."

"Also, I always feel that the other party has no intention of taking us down."

Jiang Chengxiao was puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"

Li Yaoshi explained: "If it was ordinary water bandits, they would not have the guts to attack the official ship. During the battle, this group of people did not let the water ghosts take the opportunity to swim over and attack us, they just shot arrows and then left immediately. It's not like a thief who robs money."

"This is what puzzles me the most. They dared to attack the official ships of the imperial court without looting money, so why did they do this? Don't they know that attacking the official ships of the imperial court means killing their heads?"

Jiang Chengxiao smiled coldly in his heart, Detective Li, you are very close to the truth.

"Perhaps they saw that we were powerful and invincible, and continued to fight. When our reinforcements arrived at dawn, they would be wiped out, so they retreated themselves." Jiang Chengxiao said.

He didn't even believe it himself.

Jiang Chengxiao cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to General Li Lang tonight."

Pharmacist Li shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and Pharmacist is just standing on the boat and shooting empty arrows, and he didn't kill thieves with his hands."

The two chatted for a few words, and Li Yaoshi had to go up to prepare for the aftermath, so he said goodbye and left.And Jiang Chengxiao returned to his room in the boat under the guard of his slaves.

He slowly knelt down on the mat, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. From the corner of his eyes, Nan Ba, who was guarding at the side, noticed Shizi's hand tightly holding the corner of his clothes.

After a while, Jiang Chengxiao became calm. He slowly opened a piece of paper, laid it flat on the table, picked up a pen, and wrote "ignorance", "passivity", and "son of a thousand gold" on it.

Then he stood up, walked to Shenju's side and drew out a cold horizontal knife with one hand, and swung the knife fiercely, cutting the paper and table case in half at the same time.

With a bang, the inkstone, brush and paper were mixed together and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Nanba and Shenju knelt down at the same time, saying: "The subordinate's guards are not strong enough to frighten the master, and it is a death penalty!"

Jiang Chengxiao's face was cold, and the shock in his heart still persisted.

There are only fifty Jinwu Guards and his twenty house slaves on this ship capable of fighting.If those thieves don't retreat tonight and attack them forcefully, they won't be able to defend at all, they can only be captured or dive into the water to escape.
