Chapter 460: The Disappearing Jingqi

Li Xian sat cross-legged on the bow of a big five-toothed boat, with a jug of wine and a plate of cooked meat beside him. The boat was bumpy as it broke through the waves, but he sat there like a rock.However, he could move his body with the boat and seem not to move, but he couldn't do it with the jug and plates, so it didn't take long, because he had to take care of the plates and jug, and he couldn't spill the wine or meat, so he went to the boat. The comfort of looking at the scenery by facing the river has become a bit flustered.

He simply put the plate on his crossed legs and held the wine jug in his hand.

He squeezed a piece of overcooked beef and threw it into his mouth, and took a sip of the slightly spicy but refreshing new wine. This day was so comfortable that Li Xian couldn't help but want to groan.

Although the big ship sailing through the waves was stable, the bow was swaying violently.Moreover, the river wind blows up the spray from the bow of the boat, which not only wets people's clothes, but also diffuses the unique fishy smell in the river water.In the eyes of others, any place in this big ship is more comfortable and safer than the bow, but Li Xian chose this place, which seems very comfortable.

He is also very comfortable, because he sits on the bow drinking and eating meat, and he has to tire others sitting on the side holding the big black umbrella to shield him from the water, and the tired person is still a delicate beauty like a flower and a jade .Even if you don't do anything, it is already a very comfortable thing to sit with a woman like Qing Yuan by your side.

Being able to restrain a beautiful and flowery woman and let her sit down and hold an umbrella honestly is the capital of Desel.

Li Xian looked at the plate of beef, then raised his head and asked Qing Yuan, "Do you want to eat?"

Qing Yuan shook her head and said, "This subordinate dare not."

"Don't be so blunt, okay?"

Li Xian looked at her and said: "There are only you and me here, Du Ruhui, Yuwen Shi and those guys who talk about rules and etiquette all day long. A poker face? Of course, you don’t know what a poker is.”

Qing Yuan cleared her throat, didn't speak, just looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian knew what was in her sight, so he said annoyedly, "Gu...isn't it okay to be alone? There are only Gu and you here. Those old scholars and stupid faces are not here, so you can't relax?"

"Okay!"

Qingyuan smiled suddenly, then turned the big black umbrella around from blocking them in front to behind them, then stretched out her hand and squeezed two pieces of beef from the plate on Li Xian's lap and threw it into her mouth. He moved very quickly, and his eating was not elegant, he chewed with his two bulging cheeks, and ate most of a plate of beef in a short time.Or if she was choking, she picked up Li Xian's flagon very impolitely, and took a big gulp mouth to mouth very impolitely.

After eating meat and drinking wine, Qing Yuan turned the big black umbrella to block the front.

The people on the boat only saw the black umbrella turn around to block King Yan and his handsome attendant. As for what happened behind the umbrella, others couldn't see it.Not long after, Heisan turned back, and everyone saw that Qing Yuan was still sitting there, but Li Xian's neck was a little stiff and his head was hanging down, not knowing what he was looking at.

Some people smiled knowingly, thinking they had guessed something.

That's right, what Li Xian looked down at was the... plate between his legs, there were only a few pitiful pieces of meat left, and half the jug of wine was gone.

Qingyuan sat upright, swallowing the last bite of meat with a gurgling sound in her throat.

"My lord, is this more relaxed? If my lord feels that my subordinates are not doing well enough, my subordinates can still improve."

"do not!"

Li Xian stretched out his hand to protect the plate and said, "You still sit there loading wood."

"My lord... when shall we dock?"

Qing Yuan asked.

"today."

Li Xian put the last piece of beef into his mouth, looked at the north bank of the Yellow River and said, "We will come to the bank tonight. We walked slowly enough before, but we have to go fast enough next time. Although Li Mi is a bit of an idiot, he is not a fool. Dou Jiande is even more You are not a fool, if you are a little slower, your previous efforts may be wasted."

"My lord spent so much effort to deceive Li Mi and Dou Jiande just to kill that person?"

"To Declare War"

Li Xian smiled and said: "That person must be killed. I haven't been able to find a flaw in more than two months. I can only say that he is too cautious. He refuses to believe that Su Dingfang is his best friend. Since he secretly If he can’t succeed, then I will kill him openly. He hides in the barracks all day long, thinking that tens of thousands of soldiers around him can guarantee his safety. Just kill ten thousand people. Let tens of thousands of soldiers be buried with him, and he should feel proud when he is dead."

"The second is to make Dou Jiande regret that he sent Wang Fubao and Li Mi to join forces to try to go south. Since he intends to move my Yanyun stronghold, I will naturally move his state army. Yanyun stronghold will never suffer. Into the stomach, pretending not to care like an angry little daughter-in-law. Not to mention that he didn't cross the river, as long as he had the idea of ​​becoming an enemy of my Yanyun village, I would cut off his arm first."

"When Chen Bing was on the north bank of the Yellow River, Dou Jiande should have had this awareness. What's more, I just led the troops to move west, and he immediately sent [-] troops to the south. I can't let others think about swallowing my territory. How can I be decent and send someone to negotiate with him first, tell him that what you did was wrong, do you think he will admit his mistake?"

Qingyuan said in her heart that Dou Jiande was indeed planning to go south, and Wang Fubao was indeed sending troops to the north bank, and Su Dingfang never retreated with [-] elite soldiers, but instead of crossing the river, the state army always suffered at the hands of the Yanyunzhai navy. In the past year, I am afraid that no less than a hundred ships have been lost, and thousands of soldiers have been lost.It is obvious that Dou Jiande's people have suffered, but how can the lord speak so righteously?

"Dou Jiande personally led the army to the south, with Su Dingfang as the vanguard. The 3 horses originally on the north bank of the Yellow River were handed over to Liu Heita. After all, the money was not wasted."

Li Xian remembered that Wang Qinian might spend a lot of money every day in the state, so he bought some officials under Dou Jiande to recommend Liu Heitai to be transferred to Su Dingfang's camp, so he was troubled for a while.Then he thought that Wang Qinian was a man who could save money, so he became a little more at ease.

Liu Heitai was at Dou Jiande's place in Hebei, and he was a little too cautious.He only stays in the barracks every day and never goes out, accompanied by no less than 200 soldiers.Even when Su Dingfang asked him to go hunting, he refused to go. The barracks seemed to be his whole world now.

Although Wang Qinian spent a lot of money to bribe many people in the state, those people also said a lot of bad things about Liu Heitai in front of Dou Jiande.But if Dou Jiande is stubborn and makes people itch with hatred, he insists on not believing that Liu Heita has a different intention.A person who has been hiding in Yanyun Village for so many years without changing his mind, this is the basis for him to believe in Liu Heitai.However, because there are many people who say that Liu Heitai is not good, Dou Jiande's heart is more or less relaxed.So although he gave Liu Heitai a high status, he didn't give him any real power.

Li Xian waited for nearly three months, but Niu Jinda and Wang Qinian still failed to succeed, so he had to do it himself.

Kill Liu Heita, and then tell Dou Jiande that if you want to touch my territory, I will cut off your hands and feet first.

……

……

The fleet docked that night, and Li Xian ordered all of them to go ashore before dawn, and those who disobeyed the order would be executed.

He successfully disappeared from Liujiapu with [-] elites. He has already succeeded in the first step. In any case, he cannot let the second step fail.The [-] elite soldiers he brought over from Liujiapu disembarked as quickly as possible, and kept silent from the beginning to the end. All the soldiers were strictly ordered not to speak, and the horses were also restrained so that they would never make a sound. .

After getting off the boat, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Pei Xingyan, Xiong Kuohai, Chen Que'er and others came together in front of Li Xian. Qin Qiong was the oldest and was very popular in the army, so the others recommended him to meet Li Xian. Said, Qin Qiong knew that things decided according to King Yan's temperament would never be changed, but he still bit the bullet and told everyone what they meant.

"It's just killing Liu Heita, why should the lord do it himself?"

Qin Qiong persuaded: "The subordinates will issue a military order, and they will definitely bring Liu Heita's head back and present it to the lord."

"That's right, why does the lord need to do it himself?"

Pei Xingyan and others quickly echoed.

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "It's not just about killing Liu Heitai, I wouldn't come in person if it was just for this matter. No need to say any more, as for what else to do after killing Liu Heitai, I'll tell you later." You guys, Chen Que'er, the lonely retreat, the navy stops at the agreed place with you, don't leave easily."

Chen Que'er hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord, don't worry, my subordinates will remember it."

Li Xian also ordered: "Pei Xingyan, you take [-] cavalry to station with the navy, and on the appointed day, you will lead the army to meet north. Whether you can cross the river and return to Yanyun Village is all up to Chen Que'er. If you can't retreat to the bank of the Yellow River safely, it's all on you."

"My lord, don't worry!"

Pei Xingyan clasped his fists and said, "Subordinates, remember!"

Li Xian hummed and said: "Qin Qiong is the vanguard and leads an army of [-] to go first, and the secret spies from the military inspection office will lead you the way."

He glanced at Hou Junji, who had already returned from Dongjun, and said, "Hou Junji, lead three thousand troops as the rear team. Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao, you two will follow my army!"

"Here!"

The generals knew that Li Xian's mind would not change, and immediately clasped their fists in response.

Li Xian nodded, jumped on the big black horse and walked north, followed by Qing Yuan and Huang Luan.The [-] army, excluding Qin Qiong's vanguard army and Hou Junji's rear army, was divided into five armies, front, rear, left, right, and middle, and marched northward in the dark. , there is no noise during the march of the army
