It was only when Xu Ziling saw Bai Qing'er that he truly understood what Ba Fenghan meant.

Bai Qing'er stood by the window and looked in the direction of the studio with concentration.

Under Xu Ziling's sharp night eyes, what caught his attention most about this unusually beautiful woman was her jet-black hair, which made her beautiful face look as beautiful as snow.

No matter how she dresses, she is elegant and elegant, giving people the impression of being solemn and reserved. However, her pair of bright and affectionate eyes combined with her charming demeanor that seems to be born with a bit of shyness, but not many men can resist it.

Although her appearance lacks the thrilling shock, it has an approachable and friendly feeling.

At this time, Ba Fenghan said in his ear: The demon girl of the Yingui sect knows how to collect things best, but I am good at observing people, so there is no way she can hide it from me.

After a pause, he continued: After the bloodshed, as long as you pay attention to the color of her head, you will know that her body is not as weak as her appearance, and she has a superb Qigong foundation. The delicate skin of her is not born with it, but is caused by long-term practice of a certain method.

The phenomenon of this magic power is white, with a faint and bright light, just like Huan Huan.

Xu Ziling looked carefully and agreed: Brother Ba, what else can you see?

Before Ba Fenghan could answer, Bai Qing'er suddenly disappeared and retreated to a position in the room out of sight of the two of them.

※※※

Zheng Shiru, a crazy man from Henan, said in a deep voice: We will discuss this after Military Advisor Xu has discussed it. I still have something I would like to ask the Secret Master.

Kou Zhong, who was in the closet, applauded in his heart that this Henan madman obviously had his own opinions and was not someone who was easily impressed.

Changbai's double evil Fu Zhen and Fu Yan snorted twice respectively. It was clear that he was impatient with Zheng Shiru's questions one after another.

Li Mi smiled and said: Mr. Zheng, please speak frankly.

Zheng Shiru said calmly: After Yu Wenhua and killed the faint king, he led his troops back north and aimed at Luoyang. With the intelligence of Mi Gong, why didn't he pretend to join forces with Yu Wenhua and let Yu Wenhua attack Dongdu and reap the benefits? But now

By doing the opposite, he did Wang Shichong a huge favor and allowed him to preserve his strength. At this time, Wang Shichong sent his troops eastward and marched to Yanshi. He knew that he wanted to take advantage of Mi Gong's loss of a large number of soldiers.

!Does Mi Gong feel regret for this?

Li Mi let out a burst of ear-splitting laughter and said: Mr. Zheng is worthy of being a wise man from Henan, and he knows the situation well. However, Li Mi also has a question to ask Mr. Zheng. If he were to put himself in Li Mi's position, facing Yu Wenhua and Shi Nanlai.

How will tens of thousands of elite troops deal with it? If once Luoyang is defeated by Yu Huaji, it will have a strong city as its base and sufficient food. Yu Huaji's army will no longer be a tired army coming from afar. Is it worthwhile for Li Mi to compete with them?

thing?

Zheng Shiru was silent for a while and then said: Mi Gong's words are reasonable, but the current situation is obviously not favorable for Mi Gong. What should Mi Gong do?

Li Mi smiled confidently and said: "Wang Shichong is just a defeated general under me, so how can he be brave? Now that he has led his troops to Luoyang, he will be in vain. Li Mi only needs to divide his troops to guard his way eastward, making it difficult for him to advance. In addition, I will send tens of thousands of elite troops to the west of the river."

If Shichong is to force the eastern capital, then Shichong will return it, and we will retreat to the south and stand still. If Shichong comes out again and I force him like this, I have more than enough strength, and it will be in vain to go back and forth to defeat him.

Kou Zhong suddenly realized that he understood the importance of Xiangyang to Li Mi. Because in that case, Xiangyang became Li Mi's logistics base for supplying grain and grass, so that the Wagang army that was attacking Luoyang could receive support and supplies.

Therefore, Xiangyang City was something Li Mi was determined to win.

Xu Shiji joined in and said: Wang Shichong moved east to attack me. We are short of food and determined to fight. As long as we have deep trenches and high fortresses to resist the enemy, it only takes two or three months for Wang Shichong to replenish his food supplies and he will definitely retreat. Then if we continue to pursue Wang Shichong, he will be able to return to Luoyang.

That is to say, his family is blessed.

boom!

Zheng Shiru slapped the case and sighed: Just listening to the words of Mi Gong and Military Advisor Xu, I know that Wagang Army has a chance to win. Wang Shichong is in trouble. Does the city lord still hesitate?

Kou Zhong's head shook violently and he screamed. It would be strange if Li Mi did what he just did and Wang Shichong did not suffer defeat. But if Li Mi captured the eastern capital of Guanzhong, the Li clan would be unable to maintain its immediate advantage, while Song Yuzhi would have to follow the agreement.

Marrying Li Tianfan enabled Li Mi to gain the support of the Song Clan and his reputation increased dramatically. At that time, Li Mi could only force the Li Clan to stay in the pass and then calmly deal with Du Fuwei and others. Wasn't it Li Mi's bag?

※※※

Bai Qing'er appeared in front of the window again, but she had put on her night-time black clothes and silently watched Qian Duguan and Li Mi and others leave the studio and walk towards the door of the mansion.

Ba Fenghan said in a low voice: Li Mi is in trouble on his trip. Just now, she must have used a secret method to inform the people in her sect so that she could mobilize manpower to hunt down Li Mi. Now she is preparing to track Li Mi and understand his whereabouts.

Xu Ziling wondered: Is Li Mi so easy to be killed by a sniper?

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: What if Zhu Yuyan comes in person?

The figure flashed, and Bai Qing'er went out through the window like a puff of smoke and fell into the garden before disappearing after a few ups and downs.

Xu Ziling said: Bai Qing'er is gone like this, aren't you afraid that Qian will come back alone to find her but he won't be able to find her?

Ba Fenghan said: She naturally knows Qian Duguan's behavior better than we do. Hey! I have a suggestion; why not put the two large stacks of calligraphy and painting paper in the white demon girl's boudoir and then catch up with Li Mi to see if there is any oil or water?

.Xu Ziling smiled and said: "It's up to you!"

After saying this, the two of them jumped down from the tree to join Kou Zhong.

※※※

The three of them silently dived into the cold river water and swam towards one of Li Mi's three large boats.

Li Mi was still at the dock saying goodbye to Qian Duguan and Yin Yin.

While everyone's attention was focused on the dock, the three of them boarded the ship's side from the left rear without anyone noticing with their dexterity like ghosts.

They looked over the deck and immediately frowned. They saw that the deck was full of armed men and there was no chance to sneak into the cabin.

When Kou Zhong saw four boats about two feet long hanging on each side of the ship, he covered them with oilcloth and suggested that it would be the safest place to hide in one of the boats unless they wanted to use a boat.

Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling agreed and quickly moved along the side of the ship to a hanging boat. They spent some time to lift the oilcloth and jumped in to cover it. After the ship shuddered, it just started to anchor and sail north along the river.

Ba Fenghan was lying in the stern of the boat, and Kou Xuze was lying side by side on the side of the boat. However, for convenience, the three of them were crowded together, which gave the three of them a strange yet intimate feeling.

Kou Zhong explained Li Mi's determination to kill the three of them in detail, but he lightly brushed off the matter of Li Mi's money transfer because he was still very wary of Ba Fenghan. After saying this, he said with a smile: If Na Changbai Shuangsi stays,

It's really a joke to find us!

Ba Feng smiled coldly and said: Do you know who they are?

Xu Ziling looked at the oil sermon above and said: "Brother Ba, these two guys must be doing something right."

Ba Fenghan said: These two are Wang Bo's junior brothers, but they turned against their senior brothers too early and never expected to join Li Mi now.

Although these two people are arrogant and arrogant by nature, they do have real skills, otherwise they would have been killed by Wang Bo. In particular, the eldest brother Fu Zhen is a famous master who is good at tracking. In this aspect, he is more famous than Li Mi's former subordinate Fei Yu Zheng Zong, and his martial arts skills are even better.

It's a world of difference. Fortunately, we hid here, otherwise we would have been in huge trouble.

The two of them were secretly stunned when they saw that Ba Fenghan was so conceited and spoke so highly of these two people.

Ba Fenghan said: Let's take this opportunity to recuperate and feel refreshed later when we kill people.

The three of them closed their eyes and meditated for a while before entering the realm of silent cultivation.

※※※

The hull of the ship trembled from fast to slow.

The three of them woke up at the same time.

Ba Fenghan reached out and poked through the oilcloth with his fingers. The three of them waited for a gap and looked out, only to see that the deck was very busy with people coming and going.

The first light of dawn in the sky showed that Li Mi's fleet had traveled for at least three hours.

Kou Zhong said in shock: Are they planning to dock?

Ba Fenghan went to the rag on the other side to peek out and whispered: There is someone on the shore.

The two moved to the left bank of the confused water. There were dense military camps and a temporary dock where several larger warships and more than a dozen speedboats were moored.

Li Mi's fleet slowly approached the dock -

Xu Ziling suddenly said: It turns out that Li Mi ambushed troops here and if the negotiation with Qian Duguan failed, he would use surprise troops to attack Xiangyang unprepared. It would be really cruel.

Ba Feng Hantou agreed: "Everyone knows that Li Mi is a good man and a woman. Brother Xu, this guess is quite consistent with Li Mi's style. Now, if God Zhu Yuyan is brave, I'm afraid she won't dare to mess with Li Mi. What should we do?"

Kou Zhong said flatly: We immediately steal a speedboat and go north to Luoyang.

Ba Fenghan frowned and said: If we try to steal the boat now, it will not be a steal but an open robbery. Li Mi himself is very smart, and he also has many masters under his command. We may not be able to succeed.

Xu Ziling wondered: Why is Mr. Zhong so eager to go to Luoyang?

Kou Zhong said in a low voice: I will explain to you later that stealing by stealth does not mean robbery! Look! Li Mi has landed. They also saw Li Mi and Xu Shiji leaving the ship and landing surrounded by generals.

A group of people were waiting at the dock early. The leader was a tall and impressive young general.

Ba Fenghan said: That is Pei Renji, Li Mi's general, who is as famous as Wang Bo and is known as the Wagang Shuanghu General. He has great martial arts, strength and intelligence.

When Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong heard Wang Bodang's name, they felt uncomfortable when they remembered that Su Su had been humiliated by him.

At this time, Li Mi and his party did not enter the camp.

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: Now is the time to seize the ship!

※※※

The three of them emerged from the water and climbed onto one of the speedboats moored on the shore.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling quietly and calmly pulled up the sail. Ba Fenghan pulled out his Zhanxuan Sword and cut the ship's cable with his sword. Someone on the shore shouted: What are you three doing?

Ba Fenghan laughed and said: Please tell Mi Gong Ba Fenghan, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to borrow a boat.

After saying this, he pushed hard with both palms and a blast of wind hit him, causing water to splash towards the heads and faces of the more than ten Wagang soldiers who were rushing toward them. The speedboat was hit by force and quickly moved to the middle of the river.

Just as a gust of wind blew, Kou Zhong hurriedly put on the majestic posture of a helmsman and sailed up the river northward with the wind.

They had been bored in the oilcloth-covered boat for several days. When they saw the peaks on both sides of the Taiwan Strait surrounded by green trees, they all felt extremely refreshed and energetic.

Ba Fenghan, who was swaying easily on the starboard side, looked up to the sky and smiled and said: This trip we are clearly shaving Li Mi's eyebrows and forcing him to send people to chase us. The northern end of the Huishui River ends at 300 miles south of Luoyang. The journey will be the most exciting.
To be continued...
