The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 7: Meeting brothers
I did the calculation wrong, 35+25=50? ^_^
————————————
Hai Li, the second-generation Patriarch of Hai’s Shipping Company, Hai Zhongying’s nephew, who was not a weak young man, followed Zhongying to the South China Sea continents. Later Zhongying was innocent, and Li led the merchant ship to go south and west, and Hai’s heroes, Li Youwei Yan. Li is good at meticulous brushwork and painted twelve charts by himself, which is undoubtedly accurate and still used today.
In the seventeenth year of Emperor Yonglong’s prosperity, Emperor Taizong used Li to promote his country’s prestige overseas and gave him the title of marquis. Although Haili entered the title, he did not change his line a little, but he still crossed the ocean in his seventies. In the fifteenth year of Emperor Wenzong’s Zhaoning, Li took a nap in the cabin, dreaming of his deceased person, and laughed and said, “I should die, but burn the incense drum and piano, and died before the end of the song. He was 71 years old.
Li is a human, though he is kind on the outside, and cold on the inside, but faith-based, Zhongying died, and the number of children is especially young. Everyone says that Li will win the birth, and Li teaches his disciples to be like children. In the next fifteen years , The one who chooses the best is the heir, and the person knows the festival.
Li Xi reads the scriptures, is a layman, does not marry or heir, everyone is different.
——”Yong Shi Huo Shi Biography”
When Chi Ji walked into his residence in a daze, he saw the thief looking at him quietly. Pirate Li said lightly: “It’s just a little girl, how can you take it to heart? Soon you will forget her and she will forget you too.”
Chi Ji felt a pain in his heart, and said: “I don’t know why, originally I only thought of her as a troublesome little sister, but when I saw her walking out of Princess Jiaping’s room the day before, she became so dazzling. She was so gorgeous, but I couldn’t help my heartache. Although the phoenix was so beautiful, the pain on the skin was so unbearable. At that moment, I realized that I was perfunctory to her along the way, and even thought she was arrogant and arrogant. It’s because I know that there will be a parting day, so I refuse to like her. I really don’t want to hurt her, but now she is still seriously injured, but I can’t do anything. You won’t understand the robbery.”
The thief said indifferently: “No, I understand very well. I was in a little gang when I worked for the son. I also met a naive and kind girl. She liked me, and I was right. She was moved, but in the end I killed her father and brother myself.”
Chi Ji moved in his heart, remembering that Thief had done a major event. After returning, he remained silent for a few days, as if he had died. He also tried to persuade him that day, but felt that there was no life in Thief’s eyes. It wasn’t until one day that the son secretly summoned Thief Li that he regained his vibe, and after that, Thief Li was sent to the East China Sea.
He hesitantly asked: “That girl, she, is she dead too?”
A trace of uncontrollable sadness flashed in the eyes of Pirate Li, and said: “I also thought that day, letting her escape her life and letting her hide in the poor country will not affect the grand plan of the son, but I know very well, If she is alive, then it is very likely that she will fall into the hands of others and become a weapon for others to deal with us, and she saw me killing her father and brother, such a deep hatred, I don’t know what she will do. So I killed myself. I came here with malicious intent. I knew the ending from the beginning, but I still fell into her affection. This is my mistake, so I must end this mistake by myself. The same is true for you. As long as you kill her yourself, you can eliminate the malignant tumor in your heart, so you must go to the North Han Dynasty, otherwise your life will not be happy.”
Chi Ji was silent for a moment, and said: “I understand what you mean. You killed your lover with your own hands because you don’t want to resent the son and the partner who died together. You are right, she is just like her sister, both The female heroine, when she fell, she must have been like a shooting star. She died in the brightest moment. If I can’t see it with my own eyes, I will regret it all my life. I will ask the son to join the army and conquer the north, but I will not let her Knowing that I am also on the battlefield, I can bear this kind of pain alone.”
The thief said lightly: “It’s good if you understand. Now your identity has been exposed. Tomorrow you will be with His Royal Highness Qi. The son has something to explain.” After that, he handed him a wax pill. Chi Ji took the wax pill, opened it and read the instructions on the tissue paper inside, and then burned it with a fire fold. The ashes fell on the ground, and Chi Ji showed a firm smile.
When the passenger ship that Li Xian, Lin Bi and others took arrived at Donghaihou’s Daying, an unnamed island, the eyes of the two people standing at the bow of the ship were bright. From a distance, this small island is like embracing arms. There are cliffs on both sides. The smooth reef is impossible to climb. There are no trees to hide, so that people who patrol on it can see the enemy at a glance. But in the middle of the island is an excellent harbour, allowing large ships to go in and avoid wind and rain. East China Sea Hou is the overlord of the sea. Apart from the messengers of the major forces who came to congratulate Xiaohouye on his newly married, merchants and pirates who rob sea ships for their livelihoods depend on the sea. Therefore, there is a clear distinction within the port, and various forces are very alert to each other. The warship that Donghaihou belonged to surrounded the small island with no water, such a Longtan Tiger Den, even if Master Jing Wuji and Master Cizhen arrived, it would be difficult to do whatever they want.
On the pier stood dozens of big men dressed in red as the welcoming messengers, and the little Houye in a bright red wedding dress stood at the forefront. He was heroic and beaming. Jiang Haitao, who had been sick from his body, was invincible in the East China Sea these two years. , I don’t know how many pirates were surrendered by the annihilation. In the past, Donghaihou was only the largest force on the sea, but now he has become the leader of all pirates. With such achievements, Jiang Haitao has made outstanding achievements. Not only Jiang Yonglao is comforted, but also far away. Yong’s Supreme Emperor was also overjoyed for this. After staying idle for the past two years, Li Yuan also regretted that he had taken too much care of his brother-in-law that day.
Seeing the shadow on the bow of the ship, Jiang Haitao said loudly: “Jiang Haitao was ordered by his father to welcome the messenger of the Northern Han Dynasty, Princess Jiaping.”
Lin Bi smiled faintly, and said loudly: “You don’t need to be polite.”
After that, walked along the springboard to the shore of the pier. After the two parties met, Jiang Haitao’s eyes fell behind Li Xian who was then disembarking, with an incredibly happy expression on his face, shouting: “Uncle Six.” , Grabbed Li Xian’s arm and laughed: “Uncle Six came to attend the wedding of my nephew, why didn’t I give a notice in advance.”
Li Xian also smiled slightly, and said: “I came in private, but the emperor doesn’t know about it. Don’t yell.”
Jiang Haitao said with excitement, “Uncle Six’s help, my nephew remembers Wuli. Today, Uncle Six can come to watch the ceremony. Father must be overjoyed. Uncle Six, go see your father soon.”
Li Xian smiled and said: “Alright, my cousin and I have not seen each other for many years, so we should recount our old relationship first. This is Lin’er, my son, don’t you recognize it?”
Jiang Haitao saw Li Lin and his heart moved. He also knew something about Li Xian now. This child must have been born to Qin Zheng, but he is a broad-minded person. Since the child’s mother is dead, he too No longer preoccupied, he said: “It turned out to be a cousin, let him go back to see my mother.”
At this time, a delicate voice said dissatisfied: “Blue is also here.”
Jiang Haitao discovered that there was a little girl standing next to Li Lin. She was overjoyed when she saw it. She stepped forward and hugged Ju Lan and said, “Lan’er is also here, so is your husband here too, father? After several posts, my husband said that he couldn’t come.”
Roulan proudly said: “I came with Uncle Hai, and Dad agreed.”
A look of disappointment flashed in Jiang Haitao’s eyes. He greeted Hai Wuya and Haili behind King Qi, put down the soft blue, and led the distinguished guests to the distant Xitang. This island has been the permanent residence of Donghaihou in recent years. From the pier, there are many buildings. Among them, the broadest and most magnificent hall in the middle of the mountain is the old conference hall and today’s Xitang. There are hundreds of banquets in the side halls on both sides of the main hall to entertain ordinary guests, and in the middle hall, in addition to the red felt covered banquet hall, there are also 18 banquets on each side. Entertain VIPs. Mrs. Dong Hai Hou is said to be frail and sick. She did not attend this time. Only Dong Hai Hou, with the confidants of his generals, entertained the guests with a smile in the hall. People are full of spirits on happy occasions. The 45-year-old Donghai Hou is full of spirits. He has drunk a few cups before the feast.
The guests in this palace, if they talk about nobleness, they are naturally envoys from Da Yong and Nan Chu.
Qing prince Li Kang is 37 years old this year. Since the fall of Fengyimen, his status has risen a lot. In terms of status, he is Li Yuan’s third son. Now the eldest son Li An is given because of rebellion. He died, the second son Li Zhi has become emperor. If his status is precious, Prince Qing is only under his father and brother, while the other surviving elder princes, the fifth prince, Li Qi of Ningjun have been weak and sick since he was a child, and could not be favored by Li Yuan. He has never been involved in military affairs. It was not until Li Zhi ascended the throne that he was made a king of the county. Although the king of Qi was pardoned and regained his military power, because he was suspected of conspiracy, the title was lowered from the prince to the king of the county. The prince and princess have not yet reached adulthood, but at this time, Li Kang was promoted from the county prince to the prince because of his meritorious deeds in keeping Sichuan. Prince Qing, who holds the power of Yizhou’s military and political power, became more than 10,000 people. Characters. This time he was ordered by the emperor to go to the East China Sea to congratulate him. Li Kang was also very happy. He and East China Sea Hou Jiang Yong had already secretly contacted him. If he could take the opportunity to persuade Jiang Yong to return to Dayong, it would be a great credit. Therefore, Li Kangyan, who sits at the chief, laughs at the banquet and is witty and enthusiastic. This heroic and approachable prince is so approachable, making all the guests at a table feel like a spring breeze.
South Chu’s messenger Lu Can has a different appearance. Although he is only twenty-five years old, Lu Can, who is already the governor of Southern Chu, has a calm and indifferent expression. It is completely invisible to him. In fact, Although it is said that Dayong sent a high-ranking envoy like Qing Prince Li Kang, it is still a strange thing that Nanchu sent Lu Can over. In recent years, Lu Can has resisted the intrusion from Yizhou and strengthened the defenses of Xiangfan and the Yangtze River. It can be said that it is every day. As a general, Lu Can can be said to be the first military commander in South Chu. Such an important person left the center. , To go to the East China Sea is really incredible. One cannot help but doubt what changes have taken place in Nan Chu’s political situation. Although Lu Can’s expression was calm and showed no signs that could be guessed, just seeing Fu Yulun, the deputy envoy next to him, had no scruples and talked and laughed freely, which gave people all kinds of fantasies. Who didn’t know that Fu Yulun was the son-in-law of Shang Weijun, the prime minister of Southern Chu, and the uncle of Zhao Long, the lord of Southern Chu’s kingdom. Could it be that there was a dispute between Shang Weijun and Lu Xin, two of Nan Chu’s most important ministers? Did Chan leave Donghae because of being excluded? Nowadays, wars are raging. Who doesn’t want to know more about the situation so as not to get involved.
While the guests in the hall were talking and laughing, the knowledgeable guest who was in charge of welcoming the guests shouted: “Princess Jiaping, Princess Hongxia are here.”
Everyone looked up, and happened to see a woman in green clothes walking in. In order to participate in the wedding feast, today Lin Bi did not wear the Hufu riding uniform that he usually wears to facilitate the battle, but changed into a suitable identity The dress, the light green embroidered skirt and the lake-green long skirt, the golden and blue blouse to show the noble status of the princess of the Northern Han Dynasty, the jewellery knife is tied around the waist, and the moccasin boots on the feet remind everyone of this Another identity of the princess, the actual leader of the Northern Han Dynasty State Army.
Everyone in the hall stood up to greet each other. The King of Qing and the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Gou Lian, were no exception. Whether it was an enemy or a friend, this female general who led the resistance against the barbarians and protected the hometown of Li Min was worthy of respect people.
Lin Bi smiled and bowed to everyone. At this time, a clear and pleasant voice sounded: “Sister, that is General Lu Canlu?”
At this moment, everyone noticed that there was a girl in red standing behind Lin Bi. She was charming and bright, but everyone was shocked by Lin Bi’s demeanor. They didn’t pay attention to this girl in red. Follow Lin Bi step by step, and she is affectionate, not like a maid. Listening to her at this time, I remembered that it was the two who had just informed the guest.
Lu Can smiled faintly when he heard the girl’s question. After years of military career, this naughty boy who was lawless in the past has become a taciturn general. His eyes fell on Lin Bi, who also responded with an apologetic smile in time. Said: “My sister is naughty, please forgive me, the general.”
Lu Can leaned back and said: “The princess is serious.”
At this time, Lin Tong, a girl in red, said curiously: “So you are Lu Can. I heard that you are very good at fighting, so that Da Yong’s iron cavalry dare not look south. People say, North Dragon and South Land, Yong people see it. But I’m afraid that you are still so young.”
Lu Can glanced at Qing Wang Li Kang’s face turned blue, and said indifferently: “The princess is absurdly praised, General Long with 200,000 armor, suppressing the 500,000 side army of Yong, is indeed the first soldier in the world. Everyone, Dayong and I, Nanchu, are friendly nations, and there is no war. The princess’s praise Lu is not worthy of it.”
Lu Can speaks the vernacular with his eyes open. In the past few years, although Nan Chu was unable to attack Dayong, and Dayong had no time to visit south, there were no small-scale wars between the two countries. Lu Can used soldiers like a god. Let Dayong get the slightest benefit, so someone called him and Long Tingfei together as Dayong’s two nemesis. But after all, the two countries are nominally the relationship between the suzerain state and the vassal state, and the two countries did not break openly. Lu Can would never admit Lin Tong’s words. Sure enough, when he said this, King Qing’s complexion improved a lot.
Lin Tong murmured a few words of dissatisfaction, and closed his mouth in Lin Bi’s warning eyes, and sat down on the table with his sister obediently. This table has been seated by the envoys of Nan Chu and Dayong, plus Lin Bi and Bi still have many seats empty, but ordinary people don’t want to sit in this seat. Now that the three points are played today, how can the messengers of these three powers be comparable.
Lin Tong glanced at King Qing and said maliciously: “Hey, are you the envoy of King Qing?”
Li Kang glanced at Lin Tong coldly, he didn’t want to argue with this little girl, that would be a loss of identity. So just coldly said: “Exactly.”
Lin Tong smiled and said: “You are pretty airy, but you are really far behind His Royal Highness Qi. No wonder people lead an army of 500,000 to guard the border, you can only watch Dongchuan and watch the sky.”
Li Kang was very annoyed this time, and said, “Princess Jiaping, please discipline your younger sister.” Gou Lian, who was sitting next to him, frowned. Is this little girl familiar with King Qi? It stands to reason that she is not. There should be a chance to see King Qi. Although King Qi is facing off against the Northern Han Dynasty, there should be very few opportunities for King to see King Qi.
Gou Lian has just started to have doubts, and the informant has already shouted: “His Royal Highness King Yongqi is here.”
There was an uproar in the house immediately. No one would have thought that King Qi would be here. Not to mention that the envoy of Dayong was Qing King Li Kang. The Dayong court would definitely not send two princes to come, just say King Qi. With heavy responsibilities, he should be guarded in the army, and he shouldn’t be here and now. But everyone was still wondering if they had heard it wrong, Wang Qi’s stern figure had appeared at the door, his cold and cruel eyes looked around the hall for a week, and there was no sound. With such a majestic spirit, everyone immediately believed that King Qi really came to the East China Sea.
Although almost everyone avoided the gaze of King Qi Lingren, a few people did not fear King Qi’s majesty. Lu Can was one of them. After he heard King Qi’s visit, he was a little surprised at first, and then calmed down again. He just looked at King Qi lightly, his eyes showing evaluation and appreciation.
The king of Qing Li Kang looked cold. He was very dissatisfied with King Qi. In the past, Prince Qi’s party attached prince never looked at King Qing, and his princess was a disciple of Fengyi Sect. King Qing hated it. But what Li Kang hates even more is that this unscrupulous sixth brother Li Xian, even in today’s circumstances, has never bowed his head to himself. According to his status, he is the prince, Li Xian is the princess, he is the celebrity of the court, and is second to none, but Li Xian is still suspected of treason, but that is the case, Li Xian has never seen Li Kang in his eyes. . This year, when Li Zhi ascended the throne, both Li Kang and Li Xian went back to attend the ceremony. Li Kang originally wanted to get married with Li Xian by virtue of his elder brother and prince, but Li Xian didn’t even look at him, let alone treat him. Respected. Li Kang once told Li Zhi secretly, saying that Li Xian was too unruly, but Li Zhi only smiled bitterly: “The sixth brother is the same in front of me. He is such a temperament. Third brother, don’t offend him.” Let Li Kang immediately understand that unless Li Xian dies, he will never have the upper hand of Li Xian. Seeing that the military generals and important officials in the DPRK would respect Li Xian, but they were alienated and indifferent to themselves. Li Kang’s hatred for Li Xian grew deeper. For what reason, such a rebellious and arrogant generation can naturally press on his head, this is the deepest resentment Li Kang buried in his heart.
However, in the presence of so many outsiders, Li Kang would naturally not show such hatred, even in the middle of the court, he would only show some dissatisfaction. He stood up again and smiled with a strong face: “The sixth brother is here too, but did you do the emperor’s will?”
Li Zhi glanced at Li Kang and said coldly: “I am here to congratulate you as a private person. If you have any questions, please go back and ask the emperor if you have any questions.”
He doesn’t care about affection like this, Li Kang’s face is cold, and he is about to have an attack on the spot. Gou Lian hurriedly said, “Don’t worry about Prince Qing. Prince Qi is also deeply affectionate, and he won’t blame him if he wants to be the emperor. “He said this, it really seemed like King Qing had a strong brotherhood and worried that King Qi would leave the army privately and annoy the emperor.
Li Xian took a look at Gou Lian, but he gave him a lot of face, and said: “Three brothers don’t worry, I will write a apology to the emperor when I go back.”
Said with a lazy smile, and then Da Ma Jindao sat down. At this time, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but marvel at the weight of the evil spirit on this King Qi, which is really rare in the world, and it is also The general with the army, Lu Can is calm and calm, and the Confucian general, Princess Jiaping is admiringly graceful and calm, but Qi Wang has a deep killing spirit. Seeing these three people sitting together, everyone sees such a person, really don’t need this trip.
Although everyone has relaxed, they still feel depressed. There is King Qi here, full of seats, and no one can relax at the banquet. When everyone is feeling embarrassed, a loud laugh is heard from the back hall. He came: “Why, is the sixth brother here too?”
When everyone heard this, they knew that Donghai Hou Jiangyong had arrived. Besides Qing Wang Li Kang, only Donghai Hou Jiangyong could call Qi Wang Lixian like that. Sure enough, a middle-aged man in a red robe walked out from the back hall. He was half a century old, with a gray beard, a stubborn look, and a dark complexion. He walked as if windy, and the guards behind him could hardly keep up with him. pace. He walked to the table and pulled Li Xian up and said: “Good sixth brother, your cousin is looking forward to your coming. If it weren’t for you, your nephew wouldn’t be able to save his life, let alone marrying a wife. Come on, This time you must thank your nephew, niece, and daughter-in-law for your great kindness. There is nothing to say. Don’t think your envoys of Dayong can’t eat with me. You are different. Apart from asking me to return, as long as you No matter what your sixth brother wants, I will never give you a discount, Jiang Yong.”
His remarks scared many people. Even Lu Can and Lin Bi’s eyes flashed worries. If King Qi suggested that Donghai could no longer cooperate with the Southern Chu and the Northern Han, how could this be good?
Have not waited for King Qi to answer, the informants outside said in an untimely manner: “Hai’s boat trip, Hai Wuya, Haili is here! Miss Roulan is here! Master Li Lin is here.” With the voice, Hai’s uncle and nephew smiled and left. Enter, and behind them, a little girl jumping and pulling a reluctant little boy came in. Except for Lin Bi, Li Xian and others, everyone else was stunned, what was going on, and when did the informer club even report to the children.
Xiao Roulan looked at the stunned guests with slippery eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: “What do you guys stare at, Brother Lin, these people are so rude, help me teach them.”
Li Lin looked at the guests depressedly, and said coldly: “Are you an idiot, who do you think I can beat?”
Xiao Roulan took a serious look and said with some distress: “It’s a bit difficult, they are all much taller than you. If Brother Jun is here, it will be fine, you can definitely vent my anger.”
Li Lin said dissatisfiedly: “Your brother Jun doesn’t seem to be that old~ IndoMTL.com~ I don’t believe he can vent your anger for you, so let’s wait a moment. When I grow up and become a general, you can You are out of breath.”
Xiao Roulan pursed her nose and muttered: “Brother Jun is that great? When Dad bullies me, he will help Lanlan complain.” Then Xiao Roulan lowered her head slowly, and began to cry in her voice. The sound said: “Woo, Lan Lan hasn’t seen Brother Jun for a long time, and my father doesn’t allow me to write to Brother Jun.” He raised his head and looked at Li Lin with hopefulness, and said: “You can bring me the letter, yes. Wrong?”
Li Lin became angry and looked at the people with a funny expression in their doubts, and said viciously: “Okay, I agree, can’t you?” His expression became more depressed, and Roulan begged for a long time. He was embarrassed to say that he would not go to Chang’an. He couldn’t bring the letter. He had no choice but to refusing to agree. He didn’t expect Roulan to choose this time to force him to agree. Li Lin, who doesn’t like others’ attention, can only agree. Thinking about whether the messenger in the army can help bring it back.
When these two children made such a fuss, everyone’s thoughts were drawn away. I don’t know who laughed first, and then everyone began to laugh, and the atmosphere in Xitang began to warm up.
Li Lin was blushing and looked at Roulan, but Roulan triumphantly pulled Jiang Yong’s robe forward and said: “Uncle Jiang, Lan Lan is here to congratulate his father.”
Jiang Yong was a little bit dumbfounded and said: “Okay, okay, uncle knows, Xiao Lan’er, do you want to go back and see your new sister-in-law.”
Rou Lan nodded quickly, Jiang Yong waved his hand, and the two maids standing on the side quickly came over and led Xiao Roulan to the back hall. Li Lin frowned, looked up at his father, and Li Xian nodded lightly. , Li Lin followed Roulan and walked in. Everyone just assumed that he and Roulan were together, and they didn’t pay attention, so they let him follow in.
