On the swaying sea, Li Qinzai's face turned blue, and he looked at the scenery of the vast sea with confused eyes. By the way... with a "wow" sound, he fed the fish in the sea.
"Come here, bring some water and rinse Mr.'s mouth." Li Sujie patted Li Qinzai's back diligently.
Li Qinzai waved his hands weakly: "Don't worry, I guess there is still one more round... Wow, wow -"
Li Sujie looked at him sympathetically, but said sarcastically: "Did Sir, what you ate last time was lotus root? You chewed it too little and swallowed it. The shape is still intact..."
Li Qinzai felt even more disgusted when he heard this. This time it was not because of seasickness.
"Wow--"
After vomiting, he turned around and pointed at him. Li Qinzai gasped and said, "I'll deal with you later and make you urinate..."
There were more than 70 warships returning to the Tang Dynasty, with about 6,000 soldiers, not only naval officers and soldiers, but also land officers. They were basically veterans who had rushed into the army. Sun Renshi's military order was to send these veterans back to the Tang Dynasty.
Catch up with spring sowing.
Li Qinzai currently has the highest official position on the battleship, but in fact the person who can directly dispatch troops is a general.
The general's name was Cheng Boxian, who was transferred from Liu Rengui's army. On the way back to the Tang Dynasty, Li Qinzai had the highest official position in name, but he was a civilian official after all. It was Cheng Boxian who really had the power to command the army.
Cheng Boxian was said to be in his early twenties. He attacked Zuyin and was appointed as the right guard general, and knew the left Yulin army.
Li Qinzai was very curious. Why did General Youwei Lang and Zhizuo Yulin's army go to Baekje when they clearly belonged to the Imperial Forbidden Army?
After politely asking about Cheng Boxian's background, Li Qinzai immediately stood in awe, and then retreated decisively.
This guy is actually the grandson of Cheng Yaojin, and he is the eldest grandson of the eldest son. He will inherit Cheng Yaojin's title in the future.
Before setting off for the expedition, Li Qinzai heard from Li Ji that Cheng Yaojin acted like a fool in the court and asked to lead the army, but Li Zhi and Li Ji refused.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin refused to give up and secretly sent his eldest son into the army.
Having traveled through the Tang Dynasty for more than half a year, Li Qinzai has always heard of Cheng Yaojin's reputation.
After hearing too much about the deeds of this demon king, Li Qinzai did not dare to provoke him. There were many dandy gatherings in Chang'an City, and he was a little wary when he met anyone named Cheng.
Because Li Qinzai heard that Cheng Yaojin is not the only demon king in the Cheng family. To be precise, the whole family is all demon kings. The difference is to distinguish between the big demon king and the little demon king.
The words "tyrannical, domineering, beating, smashing, and looting" in other people's words are just to describe a person's bad conduct. Well, it's just a description.
But the Cheng family really dared to smash, smash and rob.
Cheng Yaojin's evil deeds in his early years were detailed, and Li Qinzai was just an innocent and fragile little baby in front of him.
Unexpectedly, after all, they couldn't avoid the Cheng family members and unexpectedly met them on the battleship.
After Li Qinzai met Cheng Boxian, he almost never left the cabin and sat in the cabin with a sullen expression, thinking about ideas.
Originally, he really wanted to cause some trouble on the way back, but the leader was actually a member of the Cheng family, which made it difficult to handle.
It wasn't until he couldn't bear the turbulence of the waves anymore that Li Qinzai crawled out of the cabin and lay down on the side deck of the ship, vomiting loudly.
Just when he was vomiting so hard that he felt like dying, a strong and powerful hand suddenly slapped his back.
With a snap, just one palm, just one palm, Li Qinzai suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and his internal organs were all broken.
"Who... who dares to plot against me?" Li Qinzai trembled all over and turned his head.
Cheng Boxian's big, furry face, which he claimed was in his twenties, but actually looked like a greasy middle-aged man in his forties, appeared in front of him.
"Brother Jingchu is too weak, it would be better if you train your body more," Cheng Boxian grinned, raised his hand and clapped twice more, tut-tutting: "The bones in this body can't bear the force, they will break with just one smack, and they are not suitable for the hand."
"Knowing that it will break as soon as you shoot it, why would Brother Shangxian shoot it again? Do you have to kill me?" Li Qinzai said weakly.
"Shangxian" is the word of Cheng Boxian. Literally, Cheng Yaojin hoped that his grandson would be polite and admire the knowledge and virtues of ancient sages.
However, as Xue Ne once said, the names given by the elders to the younger ones are just beautiful and unrealistic wishes, which are as unreliable as throwing coins into the mouth of the bastard in the wishing fountain for blessing and wealth.
Xue Ne's nickname is "Be careful with your words." That guy is more verbose than a parrot. How can he be careful with his words?
Similarly, it can be proved that this man whose nickname is "Shangxian" is most likely a rude parallel importer who has nothing to do with the sage.
Cheng Boxian had no choice but to retract his big hand like a bear's paw and said angrily: "Brother Jing Chu treats Lao Cheng as an outsider. It's really unpleasant."
Li Qinzai was dying and said: "I can't treat you as my wife, right? That would make me unhappy."
Cheng Boxian glanced at him and said: "From the moment we boarded the ship, I always felt that you and your tribe were sneaky. Is there anything you can't tell me, Old Cheng?"
Li Qinzai was shocked and his expression changed immediately.
After becoming a general, the call from the bloodline came. The Cheng family was indeed too familiar and sensitive to the army, and the slightest unpredictable disturbance could arouse his vigilance.
"What can possibly happen? Brother Shangxian is overly worried." Li Qinzai blinked and suddenly changed the subject: "What achievements has Brother Shangxian made during his expedition to Baekje?"
Cheng Boxian sighed heavily: "What can we do if we follow Deputy General Manager Liu to eliminate the remnants of Baekje? There are a few stragglers here and there. When we encounter them, we go up and chop them up. I chop a few strands back and forth, but there is no further achievement."
Li Qinzai praised: "That's not bad. When I return to Chang'an, I estimate that I can be promoted to a higher rank, at least to a lieutenant general..."
Cheng Boxian sighed: "Oh, I no longer expect to be promoted. When I return to Chang'an, I just ask my grandfather not to chop me into pieces as a remnant of Baekje."
"Why?"
"Something happened to the Cheng family in the early years, and grandpa had to retire. However, the Cheng family's general status could not be overthrown. Grandpa waited for his children and grandchildren to gain some momentum and let the Cheng family regain its glory for several decades. Finally, he stuffed me into the army. As a result,
I didn't live up to expectations, so I chopped off a few remaining soldiers. I'm afraid grandpa won't let me go after I go back..."
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that something happened to the Cheng family in his early years. It was very strange to talk about it. No one knows the reason yet. Many people said that Cheng Yaojin became more confused and afraid of things as he got older.
In the sixth year of Yonghui, the Tang Dynasty conquered Ashinahelu in the Western Turks. A general named Wang Wendu made false orders and commanded them improperly. Cheng Yaojin also made various confused decisions and blindly supported him.
So after returning, Wang Wendu was accused, and Cheng Yaojin was forced to become an official because of this disgraceful act. As a result, the Cheng family gradually declined.
Li Qinzai consoled him: "It's not that serious. Several groups of remnants have also made meritorious service. If military merit is calculated based on the head level, it is not a big problem to be promoted to one level. Isn't this enough?"
Cheng Boxian snorted and said with a stern look on his face: "Have the Cheng family ever counted their military merits based on their heads? Anyone who doesn't ride alone and seize the flag to defeat the enemy is considered incompetent and has no merit. He will go home and wait to be beaten."
Li Qinzai's eyes widened: "Are the Cheng family's rules so strict?"
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had good reincarnation skills and was cast into the Li Jijia family with a relatively mild temper. If he was cast into the Cheng family...
I'm afraid that within half a year, he will die under the ax of the evil demon king who righteously destroys his relatives... Oh, by the way, Cheng Yaojin's envoy Ma Shan.
Speaking of his worries, Cheng Boxian became even more depressed, and even lost interest in chatting. He lazily said hello and turned around to go back to the cabin.
Li Qinzai chatted with Tian Hou for a while, and his body no longer felt so uncomfortable. He decided to lie on the side of the boat for a while to calm down before returning.
At this time Liu Asi came over.
"Fifth Young Master, the big magnet you want is ready. Just waiting for your order, the fleet will be lost on the sea when it is dark and late at night..."
Li Qinzai nodded and asked, "Are the three-eyed blunderbuss and gunpowder ready?"
"We have prepared more than 2,000 three-eye blunderbuss and 4,000 kilograms of gunpowder. We have announced that we are going to Beijing to present them to His Majesty for inspection."
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Asi said uncomfortably: "Fifth Young Master, I would like to advise you to think twice. Changing the channel temporarily is not a joke. If you show your flaws, you will be punished."
"Is it my fault that I got lost in the sea?" Li Qinzai said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't tell me, and if you don't tell me, who knows?"
Li Sujie on the side raised his hand weakly: "Sir, this disciple also knows."
Li Qinzai glared at him: "What do you want?"
Li Sujie said hurriedly: "Disciple swears to death not to betray sir!"
Li Qinzai's expression suddenly became firm and he said coldly: "As I said before, there are things a real man should do and things he shouldn't do."
"Whether it's changing the route or disobeying the order, I have a clear conscience. I think the right thing must be done. Some enemies will never learn their lesson if they don't hurt them. What's the chance of winning in a battle? People still think you are here. Caressing it."
"After midnight tonight, the channel will be changed. All members of the Li family will prepare!"
