(for collection)

Li Xian rode back on the big black horse, Xiong Kuohai and others came out of the woods and followed him back.Li Xian smiled and said to Xiong Kuohai: "Chai Shao, who is famous all over the world, is really good at fisting and kicking."

Xiong Kuohai said seriously: "There are no worthless men under a great reputation. Chai Shao has such a great reputation, so he must have real skills. Maybe... what he is good at is not in boxing and kicking."

Li Xian was stunned, he didn't expect Xiong Kuohai to say such a thing, he nodded and said solemnly: "Are you trying to tell me that this matter was done too lightly?"

Xiong Kuohai didn't want to hide his thoughts, he is a straightforward person and because he respects Li Xian, he said bluntly:

"General, I think that if you can form a good relationship, you will not accumulate evil. Chai Shao is a young man who is famous and comes from a family. He must have arrogance, but if the general wants to make big things in the future, he should make friends with such a person. Maybe he will be useful in the future. Come on. This person’s performance today does not look as idiotic as the rumors said, but you have to know which of them have experienced any hardships? They have real talents in their stomachs, but because of their usual arrogant habits So I seldom pay attention to people other than the children of the aristocratic family."

"Just like Han Shie, if he had led the army for a longer time and experienced more battles, he might not have lost to Wu Benlang, Chen Leng, and his son-in-law Yuwen Shihe. In terms of talent and name, his son-in-law Yuwen Shihe was not as good as Han Shie, but he could win the battle. In other words, isn’t it because he experienced war in Liaodong?”

"It's the same with Chai Shao. Today, he lost to you, General, in terms of tolerance and strategy, but it doesn't mean that he has no real skills. What's more... his wife is from the Li family in Longyou? Tang Guogong Li Yuan seems to have been in this year. With the help of the foolish emperor again, it should not be difficult for the Li family to rise again in the future, and I don’t think the general should offend such a person for no reason.”

Li Xian was quite surprised when Xiong Kuohai said such a thing.He thought that he had already learned how to use people well, but now he realized that he didn't really understand his opponents thoroughly.

"Thank you!"

Li Xian cupped his fists sincerely and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books."

Xiong Kuohai blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "This subordinate just doesn't understand why the general doesn't like that Chai Shao."

Li Xian didn't intend to explain anything to Xiong Kuohai. After all, what he knew hadn't happened yet, and it was unbelievable to say it. Even if Xiong Kuohai believed Li Xian, he wouldn't say it.As for today's actions against Chai Shao, Li Xian knew that it was indeed a bit hasty, but his temperament is like this. He looks down on a person who can't even protect his own woman in a crisis and runs away alone. .It is true that what Xiong Kuohai said is not wrong. If you want to achieve great things, you can't do it arbitrarily, and don't offend the people you should make friends with. Who knows if they will be used in the future?

It may be because he has known about the affair between Aunt Hongfo and that heartless man Li Jing since he was a child, so he looks down on this kind of man Li Xian.And because of the memory of his previous life, he knew that Li Huining, the Princess of Pingyang, was a heroine among women. Compared with the two, he would inevitably despise Chai Shao even more, and the meal of Chai Shao became a matter of course.

Li Xian sincerely thanked Xiong Kuo Hai not because he realized how absurd and boring he was for beating Chai Shao, but because he knew that Xiong Kuo Hai was really thinking of himself.Having such subordinates, Li Xian couldn't help but feel that it was a very happy thing.

After returning from Liaodong, he thought he understood Xiong Kuo Hai, but now he realizes how superficial he is. To understand a person, can he understand it just by looking at the surface?

"I'll pay attention in the future."

He said to Xiong Kuohai: "As for why he didn't like Chai Shao and had to beat him up, it was because he didn't respect Qingqing."

Xiong Kuohai was startled, then nodded and said: "That should be fought!"

When I got back to the lake, the secret agent who happened to be in contact with Liu County had already returned and was waiting for Li Xian's return by the lake. After seeing Xiong Kuohai and others appearing surrounded by Li Xian, the secret agent rushed to greet him, clasped his fists and saluted and said: : "General! There is news!"

"Oh? Good, or bad?"

When he said this, Li Xian thought of the dead fish that had been shot through its belly, and panicked for no reason.It's just that his face didn't change at all, and he still looked calm.

The spy's answer was also wonderful: "It's great, but it's also a little bad."

"Great, because the secret spies from the south of Yishui have returned. They brought back Zhu Yishi's wife and a pair of children. The second stage has completed the general's arrangement. As for the not so good news, According to the secret spy who came back, the head of the second gear did not return the same way after Zhu Yishi was followed by Long Tingwei, so we lost contact for the time being."

Li Xian frowned slightly and asked, "Go find the secret spy who came back from Jiangdu, and I will ask him personally."

Little bad?

He sighed in his heart, this time there is no news, it is true that there is no news, and he has deviated from the original route, and the secret agent has no idea which way Ye Huaixiu and the others have gone, so it is not a bad thing to say information.Wen Jie's Long Tingwei was involved, maybe Ye Huaishu was really in big trouble this time.

……

……

Ye Huaixiu hasn't encountered any major trouble yet, but he has encountered a small but troublesome thing.It sounds contradictory, but it is the truth.Because of the blockade by Longtingwei and the officials, they did not cross the river at the Yishui Ferry. They planned to walk west along the Yishui River to find a fishing boat and then hire a boat to cross the river, but after walking for twenty miles, there was not even a boat. See.

Liu Heikai asked Ye Huaixiu what to do, Ye Huaixiu thought for a while and said: "Go ahead, even if we don't meet the boatman, if there is shallow water, let's wade directly there. The court on the other side of the bridge People will not evacuate so quickly, if we really can't find another way to cross the river, we will go back and wait until the court troops have withdrawn before leaving."

Liu Heikai sighed: "It could be that the government has issued an order, and the boatmen along the coast are prohibited from leaving the boat."

Zhu Yishi interjected, "Actually, it's not that troublesome..."

He looked at Ye Huaishu and said, "Find a place with shallow water. Let's cut down trees and build a raft to support it. If we go back and forth a few more times, people and horses can pass."

Liu Heita was startled, patted his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of this method?"

Ye Huaixiu smiled, turned around and walked to the side to rest.

After half a day, everyone's mood was no longer as relaxed as before.Liu Heita looked at Zhu Yishi and glared at him, Zhu Yishi smiled embarrassingly to express his innocence.

"You came up with such a crazy idea, and now you say you don't know how to build a raft?!"

Liu Heita said angrily.

Zhu Yishi explained solemnly: "I can build a yellow dragon clipper that can carry a hundred people, a five-toothed ship that can carry more than a thousand soldiers, and a dragon boat as magnificent as a palace, but this raft... I really can't make……"

At the same time, in a dense forest only a dozen miles away from them on the other side of the river, a subordinate helped Blind Xu re-bandage the wound, and then poured the spirits in the skin on the wound on his arm to rinse it off. The piercing pain immediately made him grin.

"Those damned court eagle dogs, why are their noses so sensitive!"

He cursed under his breath, then tore off his clothes to cover the wound.Blind Xu took the cloth in his hand, took out the wound medicine that Liu Heitai gave him from his bosom, poured some on it, and sighed while helping his servants to bandage it: "It's a little different this time, those who wear brocade clothes The official army is not like the official errands in the Jiangdu Mansion. If the prediction is correct, it should be the guards in the palace. I heard that the dog emperor's forbidden palace guards have a team called Longting Guards. They are well-trained. A guy who kills without batting an eye."

He glanced at it, and now there are only four of his men, and they are tired from running away for days, and their expressions are a bit gloomy. After they crossed the river, they were chased by court soldiers with falcons and mastiffs. After a fight, a few people were killed hand.Now there were only five of them, and all of them were wounded.

"Those bastards brought mastiffs and flying eagles with them. As long as we go out, they will find us. What should we do, Brother Xu?"

Blind Xu thought for a while and said, "Let's rest here for the night first. Tomorrow morning, let's go west, try to get rid of those bastards and then go north. We can't go back to Jiangdu, and we lost Zhu Yishi too." We can only go back to Wagang first. Erbao, don’t go with us tomorrow. You cross the river and go back to Jiangdu. The brothers in the casino are still waiting. After you go back, let the brothers withdraw to Wagang Village. Bring it! That money was saved by us to buy armor and weapons for the stockade, it cannot be cheaply given to the court eagle dog!"

"Don't worry, people from the imperial court are chasing us. There should be no danger for you to go back to Jiangdu."

The man named Erbao worried: "I'm not afraid of danger, I'm just worried about you, Big Brother Xu. Those court eagles and dogs are too powerful, if I leave again, your manpower will be even weaker!"

Blind Xu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the big deal is that the brothers will separate and let them chase without finding their way!"

After another half day until the sun was setting, Zhu Yishi, Liu Heita and the others wiped the sweat off their foreheads and looked at each other, then giggled silly.Especially Zhu Yishi, looking at the crooked raft that was built with great difficulty, was full of pride, as if building a raft was more proud of him than building a dragon boat.

"Fortunately, this section of the river is not wide!"

Jiaer pouted and said, "Otherwise I wouldn't dare to sit on the raft you made."

Zhu Yishi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Miss Jia'er, even if the raft breaks, you won't be drowned. With me here, it doesn't matter if you fall into the East Sea, not to mention the Yi River."

Jiaer rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why, don't you want to go with us?"

Zhu Yishi laughed at himself and said,
