Late Tang

The spies in Daxie Village were very efficient. Two days later, Feng Zhang received a lot of information about Li Jing's plan to attack pirates.

"After the one-eyed dragon attacked Salmon Island and never returned, the rest of the troops disappeared from the sea. We asked the people from the family in Duli Town to inquire, and found out that the rest of the one-eyed dragon had retreated into the sphere of influence of Duli Town. In the depths of Lao Tieshan in Tieshan Town. Li Jing has the news that the Cyclopedic Jiao Yubu is hiding in Chisha Reef in the sea between Duli Town and Qingnipu."

Feng Zhang was a little surprised, "You mean that the information Li Jing got was wrong, but do you know where he got the news from?"

"Jianwu Pavilion!" Feng Xun said with a smile: "It is said that last time Li Jing was able to block the one-eyed dragon's surprise attack last time, it was also because Jianwu Pavilion sold them information at a high price. But the information was not accurate, so although Li Jing kept it The island suffered heavy losses. Aunt Gongsun of Jianwu Pavilion promised to give Li Jing a free information as compensation afterwards, and Li Jing asked her to provide the hiding place of the rest of the Cyclops."

"It turned out to be them. Although Aunt Gongsun came to Daxie village not long ago, it's not a secret that they sold information. It's just why Aunt Gongsun gave Li Jing the wrong situation. The information she gave last time was only half correct. That situation is also wrong, that Red Sand Reef was just a temporary stronghold of the Cyclops before, and there is no one at all now, did they really make a mistake in collecting intelligence, or did they do it on purpose?"

"I guess it might be that the information is not grasped in time. Although the Sword Dance Pavilion sells information, it is only limited to general information. For such information that is far away in Liaohai, it is also possible that they did not grasp it in time."

"How is the movement on Li Jing's side? Is it a real fight or just a bluff?"

"It is estimated that we really need to do something." Feng Xun said, "Shamian Town is mobilizing troops. According to reports, Li Jing has already mobilized thousands of troops. In addition to the soldiers registered in Shamen Town, there are also officers' servants such as Li Jing. There are also some temporarily recruited crew and sailors, as well as soldiers from the town of Shamen. In addition, the town of Shamen is modifying their ships these days, adding cannons, ballistas, etc. "

1000 people, Feng Zhang sneered in his heart.Fighting on the island and going out to sea are two different things. Li Jing wiped out the one-eyed dragon last time, but he can wipe out the rest of the one-eyed dragon if he doesn't see it.Feng Zhang had an unbearable urge to let Wu Qian's fleet at sea immediately ambush Li Jing's fleet converted from a poor merchant ship after Li Jing went to sea, wouldn't it be a great opportunity to get rid of Li Jing in one fell swoop? Jing, this annoying thorn in the side?

Calm down, Feng Zhang reminded himself in his heart.It's easy to kill Li Jing's fleet, but the key lies in the aftermath.After all, Li Jing is just a minor problem, and Song Wen and others from Dengzhou are the key ones.Let it be left to Wang Jin. Last time he robbed Li Jing's batch of ordnance, trying to put the blame on Wang Jin, and wanted Wang Jin to fight Li Jing first.But in the end, Li Jing didn't respond at all, and flinched shamefully.In vain, he was exhausted and robbed the batch of ordnance, but in the end it was sent to Cat Island, and someone had to break into Cat Island. As a result, the batch of goods disappeared before they were sold.

"Did you send the news to the Wang family?" Feng Zhang asked.

"I sent the news early in the morning," Feng Xun replied, "The Wang family sent Liu Qi here, and he is in the living room now, do you want to call me in?"

For such an important matter, why did the Wang family send Liu Qi, a dude, who was beaten to death by Li Jing last time, and now he has recovered?Feng Zhang didn't understand the Wang family's reaction. Wang Jinchong was very impulsive in the past and was often used secretly by him.Wang Jin has the name of a naval officer for nothing, but his strength is far inferior to him, the general who guards the island at sea.But since Wang Jingwen came, many of Wang Jin's performances were somewhat incomprehensible.Especially the previous relationship between Wang Jin and Li Jing became more and more strange.

"Go see Liu Qi for me and see what he means."

Feng Xun discussed with Feng Zhang for a while, then exited the study, straightened his clothes and walked into the hall.

"Oh, Liu Qilang, what a rare visitor. It's been a long time. Is your body recovered? It's just recovering from a serious injury. It's better not to work too much."

Hearing about the injury, Liu Qi's eyes flashed a gloomy look, and he said curtly: "Thank you Feng Dalang for your concern, my body is fine now."

"That's really wonderful!" Feng Xun smiled lightly, with an eager expression on his face, "Housekeeper, let's make another charcoal basin, it's still cold today, Liu Qilang is just recovering from his injuries, we can't let the bones suffer from the cold Liu Qilang, let's have a drink first. I have the most expensive Wuliangye wine sold in Dengzhou now.

"No!" Liu Qi said coldly: "I'm here this time because I have something important to do, not to drink."

Feng Xun looked at Liu Qi's unbeatable face, and wished he could kick him out the door.But he still forced a smile on his face and said: "The business is important, so let's talk about the business first, and then talk about Fengyue and taste the fine wine."

"Emissary You Yi asked me to come and answer General Feng. General Li Jing in Shamen Town is a rare good general and talent in the imperial court, and he is also an excellent junior of the Ziqing Frontier Army. For such talents, General Wang and others need to take care of them. "When Liu Qi said this, there was a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth, as if he was about to read Feng Xun's joke. "It is unforgivable that the one-eyed dragon dared to openly attack Shamen Town. Although the one-eyed dragon is dead, the rest of the evil must be eradicated. He asked me to tell General Feng that exterminating pirates is the responsibility of every frontier soldier. What's more, Shamen Town is still under the command of General Feng."

"My Daxie village has sent a fleet to search and suppress pirates!" Feng Xun didn't expect Wang Jin to reply like this, and his face turned cold.

"General Li Jing discovered the remnants of the one-eyed dragon, and asked General Feng to send troops. This is in line with the rules. General Feng should send someone to support him anyway. But in other words, this belongs to the internal affairs of Daxie Village. My Dengzhou Navy I won't intervene rashly." Liu Qi said lightly with a smug smile.

"Is this General Wang's decision? Don't the Dengzhou Navy and Daxie Village share weal and woe? Isn't the Wang family and the Feng family friendly?" Feng Xun was angry and asked in a suppressed voice.

Liu Qi smiled coldly: "Last time Feng Liulang hurriedly dragged me from Daxie Village to Shamen Island. I'm afraid it's not such a coincidence. Also, some time ago, Song Wen sent a batch of goods to Li Jing. The sudden disappearance of the ship and its cargo on the sea surface of my Dengzhou Navy's territory, I'm afraid there is something wrong behind it. Feng Fu Bing Ma Shi, don't talk to me in this tone, don't think that you are the only Feng family Clever, always thinking of using us. I warn you"

Feng Xun turned his face and glared at Liu Qi angrily: "Don't warn me, kid, you are not qualified yet!"

"The Feng family is just a vassal of our Wang family, Feng Dalang, don't forget."

As he spoke, Liu Qi put his hand on the sword hilt wrapped in gold thread at his waist, with an aggressive look on his face.It's a pity that his body was too drunk and lustful, and he looked a little thin and weak in front of Feng Xun's strong figure.Although the sword was pressed, it had no deterrent effect.

Feng Xun sneered: "Be careful with your hands, don't put them in the wrong place. If people misunderstand, the consequences will be very serious." He looked at Liu Qi coldly, "And remind you, your surname is Liu, and there is no Not from the royal family."

Liu Qi's face was flushed by Feng Xun's words, and he wished to immediately draw his sword to face him, but he was met with Feng Xun's eyes, but the hand holding the sword was sore and weak.

"My Feng family may be a vassal of the Wang family, but you Liu Qi can only be regarded as a dog of the Wang family at most. Do you think you have the right to talk to me like this? Believe it or not, I just waved and a team of guards rushed in immediately." Chop you into meat paste. After you die, do you think the Wang family will punish me for you?"

The expression on Liu Qi's face froze, sweat dripped from his forehead, and his voice finally trembled: "Da Lang, you wouldn't really do this, would you?"

"It's up to you. If you still look like just now, I will chop you up and feed the dogs immediately."

"I, I..." Liu Qi stammered for a long time, and finally said with a mournful face, "Da Lang, I'm just here to talk, so just treat me like a fart."

Feng Xun looked at this dude with contempt, and said lightly: "Then I'll ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them honestly."

"Tell me Dalang, I must know everything and say everything."

"What was Wang Jin's reaction after receiving the letter I sent?" Feng Xun asked.

Liu Qi said honestly: "I don't know how General Wang reacted after receiving the letter, but I heard that he summoned his subordinates, generals, and school lieutenants, and then half of the meeting was held. Dengzhou Wang Changshi suddenly arrived, and then the meeting was broken up. The general will let me reply."

Hearing this sentence, Feng Xun originally wanted to ask many questions and didn't want to ask any of them.He said to Liu Qi with a blue face: "You know what happened today, I don't want the third person to know, do you understand?"

With a stiff face, Liu Qi nodded and bowed respectfully to leave.

Feng Xun didn't even bother to pay attention to Liu Qi's departure, his mind was full of Wang Jingwen now.It was this old guy again, Wang Jin looked like he was already on the road, but this old guy abruptly messed things up again.

It seems that it is a bit troublesome to provoke Wang Jin to deal with Li Jing.What to do now?The Wang family refused to be fooled into taking action against Li Jing, so do they have to do it in the end?He couldn't make up his mind, and finally went to Feng Zhang's study to inquire.

"Wang Jingwen, this old fox is not simple. He has disturbed several things. I guess this old boy has already been wary of us. Forget it, let's leave this matter as it is." Feng Zhang said.

"Should we just let Li Jing go like this?" Feng Xun said anxiously, "This is the best chance to get rid of Li Jing, even if Li Jing doesn't lead the troops out to sea in person, if we can sink all the people they go to sea Under the sea, what will Li Jing use against us in the future?"

"Things are not that simple. One hair will affect the whole body. Our family has great achievements, not a barefoot farmer like Li Jing. Although Liu Qi's words are harsh, there is one sentence that is true. On the surface of our Feng family Feng Zhang took off the hairpin from his head and scratched his head, "But this You can't just let Li Jing go so easily, you send a boat to send a letter to Wu Qian, ask him to send someone to Lao Tieshan, send a letter to the pirates, and tell Li Jing to encircle them Tell them about it.' "Uncle means to use the hands of pirates to deal with Li Jing?I'm afraid these pirate remnants are not Li Jing's opponents?Or, let Xiaowei Wu and the pirates join forces to simply destroy Li Jing, and then say that the pirates ambush Li Jing in revenge, wouldn't it be better? "

"Forget it, let the pirates play. It's good to win. If you lose, you can also take the opportunity to consume a little bit of Li Jing's strength. Let's stop getting involved. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. As long as we Let's do it, someone will know in the end, for Li Jing, a pawn, there is no need to take such a big risk." Feng Zhang put the hairpin back on his back, and said with a light smile: "Besides, Li Jing made a few casually. Fishing boats, a few fishermen, and a few teams of soldiers on board, dare to claim that they are also a sea fleet? What a joke, no matter how bad the pirates are, they are better than Li Jing's fleet. Li Jing really thought that he had fought two battles and killed Do you really think you are a master of military art after learning some pirates? This sea marching battle is not something that can be played casually. Let's sit and watch the situation. Maybe those pirates will directly kill Li Jing and the others. It’s also possible to drive them all off the boat to feed the fish.”

"I hope so!" Feng Xun forced a smile, always feeling that his uncle seemed to be really old.Thinking about when he first started following him, when was he ever so timid and scrupled?He always felt that this was a great opportunity to unplug the town of Shamen, but unfortunately his uncle didn't seem to see it.

Back at the mansion of his deputy soldier and horse envoy, Feng Xun took out his pen and ink and began to write a letter to Wu Qian.According to Feng Zhang's consciousness, he finished writing the letter, and while waiting for the ink to dry, he carefully read it several times.Finally, when he was about to seal it, he suddenly tore the letter up again.He spread a new piece of letter paper on the table, picked up a pen and dipped in ink, and wrote another letter.

It was also written to the Sea Fleet, but this time the title of the letter was my brother Rokuro.He did not write this letter to the fleet commander Wu Qian, but to Feng Ming, who was a military officer of Du Yuhou and was actually supervising the army.The content of the letter was also quite different from the previous one. Although on the surface, this letter still told Feng Ming that Li Jing was going to suppress the bandits, but between the lines, there was another meaning revealed.

After the letter was written, Feng Xun carefully read it twice, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.He let out a long breath, sprinkled some incense ash on the wet ink, folded the letter, put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax, called a confidant, and handed it to him.

"Take the letter and go to sea immediately to catch up with the fleet. Be sure to hand the letter to Liulang yourself!"
