At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 470 Uneasy
Gao Shida, Duke of Donghai, had already occupied some prefectures and counties in Pingyuan County, but recently the imperial court sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress them. Temporarily avoid the edge in the chicken park, and then wait for an opportunity to gather strength to counterattack.

The reason why Dou Jiande suddenly went to Feiying Racecourse to "collect debts" was precisely because of the defeat on the battlefield, he lost a lot of horses and urgently needed to replenish them.

Let's say that Dou Jiande came to Gao Shida's camp with a boat, landed on the land, and the guards here hurriedly saluted respectfully: "See Da Sima."

Dou Jiande nodded and asked, "Where is Lord Donghai?"

"In the Juyi hall, a distinguished guest came today, so the Donghai government summoned the chief minister to meet him." Minoro replied.

Dou Jiande wondered, "Where is this distinguished guest?"

"It's from Wagang. According to them, it seems to be called Pu Shangong Li Mi."

A look of surprise flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes, and he quickly walked towards the Juyi Hall.

Li Mi was originally Yang Xuangan's mastermind. He defected to Wagang last year. It is said that he also brought a generous gift of two thousand war horses. , Gaining [-] soldiers, Wagang's prestige and power have also increased rapidly, so this Li Mi is really not to be underestimated, and he doesn't know what his intentions are when he comes here suddenly. Dou Jiande is a little worried that Donghai Gong Gao Shida will suffer under Li Mi's hands.

Not long after Dou Jiande left, a small boat sailed out of the reeds. The boat was full of women dressed in strong clothes and carrying weapons. The leader was slim and beautiful. The son actually followed secretly.

Dou Xianniang boarded the boat and asked, "Where is my father?"

The minions guarding the pier replied: "Da Sima has gone to the Juyi Hall. What is Hong Niang's business with Da Sima? Do you want me to inform you?"

Dou Xianniang waved her hands and said, "No need, I'll wait for him here."

Dou Xianniang doesn't want to see Donghai Gong Gao Shida, this old woman will be older than her father next year, every time she sees her, her eyes shine brightly, and she even hints that her father will marry her to him, it's really shameless, Fortunately, Dad ignored it.

Dou Ranniang waited at the pier for more than half an hour, and saw a group of people coming from the direction of Juyi Hall, besides Donghai Gong Gao Shida and her own father, there were several new faces, she couldn't help being secretly surprised, and asked in a low voice Luo Dao: "What's the origin of that man in black, that Gong Donghai sent it out in person?"

Xiao Luo replied in a low voice: "Li Mi, Pu Shan Gong of Wagang, this guy is famous, there are even rumors that Li Shi will be the emperor and he will respond to this person, do you think Donghai Gong can be rude?"

Dou Xianniang was secretly taken aback, so this person is Li Mi?

Donghai Gong Gao Shida is about forty years old, his mouth is a little crooked when he speaks, especially when he smiles, and his yellow teeth are uneven, which is very ugly.

I saw a tall man in black walking side by side with Gao Shida. His forehead was sharp and square, and his eyes were black and white. Bodang and Cai Jiande.

Cai Jiande has recently joined Li Mi, he is very skillful, and is highly valued by Li Mi. He and Wang Bodang are called Li Mi's right arm and right arm, but both of them are a little bit dissatisfied with each other, and they often compete secretly.

Let's say that a group of people walked to the pier talking and laughing. Dou Xianniang didn't want to see Donghai Gong Gao Shida, but he would personally see the guests out, so there was no way to avoid them, so she had to go forward and salute: "Xiao The woman has met Duke Donghai and Da Sima."

Dou Jiande frowned and nodded, Gao Shida's eyes lit up, and he said with a "kindly" smile: "It's been a while since I saw you, Xianniang, and you seem to have grown a bit, there are newly picked water chestnuts in Shibo's room, Xianniang Do you want to try it?"

Dou Xianniang forced a smile and said: "Thank you Donghai for your kindness, Xianniang doesn't like to eat water chestnut now, I have something to do with my father."

Gao Shida glanced at Dou Jiande and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Can't Gao Shibo know?"

Dou Xianniang didn't know how to answer, Dou Jiande coughed lightly and said: "Xianniang, don't mess around, don't you see any guests here? What's the matter, wait for Dad to go back."

Dou Xianniang took the opportunity to say goodbye, jumped on the boat and sailed away. Gao Shida watched Dou Xianniang's youthful back go away. Had a "marriage", but unfortunately the latter pretended not to know, if it hadn't been necessary to rely heavily on Dou Jiande, Gao Shida would have had a strong mind.

An imperceptible gleam flashed in Li Mi's eyes, and he smiled and said, "This should be brother Dou's daughter, the famous red lady, right? She is indeed heroic and heroic, and she is not a woman."

Dou Jiande waved his hand and said: "Pu Shangong is too famous, the girl's family just doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth."

Li Mi chuckled and said: "Brother Dou is too modest. I have heard that the women's army led by Hong Niangzi is not inferior to men."

"It's someone else's praise, and it can't be taken seriously. Pu Shangong, please get on the boat, and I will send you out of the berth."

Li Mi smiled slightly, jumped onto the boat, sat down, and graciously let the minion cover his eyes, Wang Bodang and others followed on board the boat, and were also blindfolded.

Gaojibo has a radius of hundreds of miles, reeds are overgrown, and it is difficult to find here without an acquaintance leading the way. Li Mizhi was able to appear here, obviously Donghai Lord Gao Shida sent someone to pick him up. In order not to expose the location of the camp, Li Mi When people come in and out, they have to cover their eyes.

"Pu Shangong has offended you, so you have to wear the hood!" Dou Jiande ordered people to put black hoods on Li Mi and the four of them, and then ordered the boat to sail.

Seeing the boat sail away, Gao Shida said in a low voice: "Old Dou, is this unnecessary?"

Dou Jiande said: "Be careful sailing for thousands of years, Li Mi is treacherous, we have to guard against it."

Gao Shida nodded and said: "That's right, by the way, what do you think of what Li Mi said just now?"

Dou Jiande said with a smile: "I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. We have a good life in Gaojibo. Why should we go to Wagang? Cooperation can be considered."

Gao Shida was relieved when he heard the words. In fact, he didn't want to join Wagang. The reason why he asked the question was because he was worried that Dou Jiande would be persuaded by Li Mi's eloquence. Now Dou Jiande is his capable general. I can't get along anymore.

…………

Let's say that Li Mi and others left Gaojibo by boat, took off their hoods and blindfolds, went ashore, and walked to the place where the horses were hidden.

"Xuanzao, what do you think?" Li Mi asked while walking.

Fang Xuanzao smiled contemptuously and said: "Donghai Gong Gao Shida is nothing more than that, he can't make a fortune, but that Da Sima Dou Jiande seems to be not simple, although his appearance is vulgar and inconspicuous, in fact, his great wisdom provokes fools, and he has a lot of scheming, so we have to guard against it." .”

Li Mi smiled and said: "It turns out that Xuanzao has also noticed that Gao Shida has few major generals, and the only one who can make a move is this Dou Jiande."

Cai Jiande said disapprovingly: "I can't see what makes this Dou Jiande outstanding, but his daughter Dou Xianniang is really handsome and juicy. Grandma's is really a good bamboo shoot."

Wang Bodang sneered and said, "Cai Jiande, I dare you to put all your tricks on women, it's strange if you can see them."

"Wang Bodang, do you feel itchy and want to practice?" Cai Jiande held the handle of the knife with a cold look in his eyes.

Uncle Wang grasped the two sabers when he probed his hands, and said contemptuously: "Practice, practice, I'm afraid you won't succeed, last time there was no winner, this time it happens to be a winner."

Li Mi stretched out his hands, put them on the shoulders of the two, and said with a smile: "My brother, why bother to hurt your peace, and the weather is scorching hot, what's the fun in fighting, let's go, let's go drink in the county town!"

Cai Jiande and Wang Bodang's faces were already flushed from holding back, but as soon as Li Mi let go, the two of them suddenly felt the mountainous pressure off their shoulders, they both breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Li Mi obediently to the place where the horse was hidden.

........................

When Dou Jiande returned to the camp, Dou Xianniang immediately went up to meet him, but seeing the former's serious face and a preoccupied look, she didn't dare to speak rashly, and while following behind Lao Tzu, she fanned Lao Tzu flatteringly.

Dou Jiande came to a hut, as if he just came back to his senses, he turned around and asked, "What are you doing for your father?"

Dou Xianniang asked with a sweet smile: "Father, why did that Li Mi come to see Lord Donghai? Is there something important?"

Dou Jiande frowned: "It's none of your business, so don't ask nonsense, go and cool off, dad doesn't need you to fan."

Dou Xianniang pouted her lips, and snorted, "If you don't inquire, don't inquire. Who cares? Daddy, tell me the truth, did you go to Feiying Racecourse today to beg for [-] horses?"

"Can't you?" Dou Jiande asked back very bachelorly.

"Father, how can you be like this? Flying Eagle Racecourse only sells [-] horses a year, and you have to hand over [-] horses to the court. You have to go to [-] horses. What will Gao Shibo take to hand over to the court?"

"You stinky girl, I didn't see your flesh hurt when I emptied my father's warehouse, but now I know that my flesh hurts, and my father has raised you for nothing!" Dou Jiande poked his daughter's forehead lightly and said with a headache.

Dou Xianniang rubbed her head and said aggrievedly: "That's because you first snatched Brother Gao's hundred horses."

Dou Jiande said with a dark face: "Father, what is robbery? It's borrowing, understand?"

Dou Xianniang puffed her chest out, and said confidently: "That daughter just borrowed some money from her father to open a racecourse for Brother Gao, and it's not that she won't pay it back!"

Dou Jiande was so angry that he rolled his eyes: "What is that? You almost emptied my father's warehouse, not to mention that kid cheated my precious daughter away. It's nothing to ask him for hundreds of horses. Come on, father won't follow me!" Damn, Dad has something else to do, you stay at home during this time, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, especially Hejian County!"

After finishing speaking, Dou Jiande left in a huff, gathered his subordinates, and left Gaojipo in the dark that night in hundreds of small boats, not knowing what to do.

Dou Xianniang was in doubt, feeling faintly that her father's actions had something to do with Li Mi, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in her heart, and remembering that her father emphasized not to go to Hejian County, the uneasiness in her heart was even worse.

Dou Xianniang hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran to Mrs. Cao to inquire about the news.

Cao is Dou Jiande's continuation, that is, Dou Xianniang's stepmother. She is a virtuous woman with a good personality and is also very kind to Dou Xianniang. However, due to psychological conflicts, Dou Xianniang is not close to Cao. At this time, in order to inquire about the news, I had no choice but to go to Mrs. Cao.

It is said that Dou Jiande respects Cao very much, and will discuss some important matters with her, so Dou Xianniang thinks that Cao should know the purpose of this operation.
