At this time, Mrs. Dou was still smiling, as if entertaining friendly guests and pouring tea and water.
"Li Yuan...how afraid of death is he? He even takes thirty or so monks with him when he sleeps...Doesn't he have sexual intercourse? Otherwise, wouldn't he be seen by all the big monks?"
Wu Xin remained silent, but in his heart he was secretly slandering and speculating maliciously.
Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, was the only one in the world who carried more than thirty monks with him. Even Yang Guang, the civil and military emperor, did not do this.
This is Li Tang!
As expected, he was uniquely blessed. He had recruited so many great monks just after he started his army. These were just Li Yuan's personal guardians. In fact, there must be many more. It is estimated that most of the great monks recruited in the previous battle of Dongdu were recruited by Li Tang.
Comparing people to each other is so annoying!
The atmosphere was solemn and depressing, and both sides were on full alert, but Wu Xin was not as concerned.
"Stand back!"
Seeing that Mrs. Dou was fine, Li Yuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. His thoughts suddenly changed, and Gu Zuoxin waved his hands to the great monks and gave instructions.
"Lord?" All the great monks of Li Tang frowned, and one of them couldn't help but spoke out to advise.
"Stand back! If they really want to deal with me, will they still wait for you to dare to come?"
Li Yuan scolded in displeasure, but still explained a little, obviously he didn't dare to treat these great monks as subordinates for the time being!
Actually, this is the point.
Li Yuan knew Wu Xin's strength very well. If Wu Xin really wanted to assassinate him, it would definitely not be the case now. It is estimated that these personal monks would not have time to react.
This also reminded Li Yuan that he could not go somewhere rashly by himself in the future, even his own dormitory.
"But……"
These great monks were still not at ease, because they did not know who the three people shrouded in black robes were, and naturally they did not accept Li Yuan's statement.
"Stand back! Don't spy on the situation here!"
Li Yuan's face darkened, his displeasure deepened, and he scolded in a deep voice.
First, since Wu Xin came in disguise, he just didn’t want anyone to know his identity. If these great monks found out and angered Wu Xin, it would be over; first, it would be useless even if these great monks paid attention to him at any time, Wu Xin really wanted to kill him.
He and the great monks outside had no time to react.
Today, Wu Xin is already known as the fastest in the world, and Li Yuan naturally knows it!
"My subordinates resign!"
These great monks suddenly realized that they thought it was Li Yuan's secret meeting, so they voluntarily said goodbye and left.
"Tang Guogong is indeed a smart man, that's great, everyone is happy!" Wu Xin praised in a changed voice, not sure whether it was a compliment or a criticism.
This confirmed Li Yuan's guess, seeing that Wu Xin even changed his voice on purpose!
"I don't know...the reason why my benefactor came here this time..." Li Yuan thought about it like lightning, and hesitantly asked, this title is not wrong.
Wu Xin answered straight to the point: "I'm borrowing the truth! I don't want to conflict with Li Tangqi. What does Tang Guogong think?"
"What else?" Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes flashed with joy.
Wu Xin did not want to confront Li Tang. After all, the Eastern Capital now belonged to Li Tang. It was not what it used to be. It would be impossible to break through forcefully, and it would cause heavy losses. It would be more likely to make the court suspicious, which would be more harmful than helpful.
Similarly, Li Tang did not want to go to war with Wu Xin. If we were to say which force Li Tang was most afraid of in the world now, it would be Wu Xin!
Wu Xin's words were like hearing the sounds of nature to Li Yuan!
"The person who took me away is gone!"
Wu Xin responded generously and had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. After a pause, he reminded: "Don't think of borrowing the road too simply. At least you can't let people see that something is wrong. Otherwise...if you can't explain it to the court, then you have to start a war.
, Presumably Duke Tang also doesn’t want to see this happen, right?”
"Of course! Of course! Just tell King Wu what to do!"
Li Yuan responded readily and kept his posture very low, vaguely afraid that Wu Xin would regret it.
…
The moon rises and is dotted with stars.
Five large dragon ships that looked like huge sea beasts slowly entered Dongdu Port.
The former port officials had already led the crowd to wait and welcomed him warmly. Afterwards, they had a conversation in public with Changsun Wuji, the representative of King Xiewu, and very "considerately" continued to lend four large dragon ships to King Xiewu, who had achieved great achievements in the world, and returned
For the purpose of Jiangdu.
In addition, the Jurong soldiers originally staying in the eastern capital, including the more than 100,000 Luowu soldiers who had been eliminated previously, have been placed on two large dragon boats, waiting for King Xiewu to come and take them away.
In about an hour, King Xiewu's lineup, consisting of seven large dragon boats in total, left the port and continued southward along the Grand Canal without staying long.
"Actually... the biggest loophole this time is these six dragon ships (one originally belonged to Wu Xin). The reason for rushing back to Jiangdu as soon as possible cannot withstand scrutiny at all!"
Standing on the bow of the boat, he looked at the ancient behemoth-like Dongdu slowly disappearing away. Changsun Wuji couldn't help but remind him, as if he was talking to himself.
"Big dragon boat! There is plenty of water in the south, and we need ships and warships even more. Anyway, if we encounter one, don't waste it! Without my lord, how would Li Tang be today? They eat meat, so they have to leave some soup for us!" Wen Renzhong couldn't bear it!
Zhu interjected.
This is the result of the negotiation between Wu Xin and Li Yuan.
After performing a show in public, Li Tang sent two more dragon ships in exchange for Wu Xin's disregard for the change of ownership of the eastern capital.
In fact, Wu Xin didn't really want to take away the two big dragon ships, nor did he want to take away the more than 100,000 Luo Wujun who had been eliminated. He just wanted to take away the people from Jurong and the Yue King Yang Tong, and even Li Shimin, who lost to Wu Xin in a bet
, and have no intention of taking it away.
However, the above is Wu Xin's bottom line. Naturally, he will not state it clearly. He just generously stated directly that he would only take his subordinates with him.
Li Yuan figured it out on his own, and exchanged two large dragon ships and more than 100,000 Luo military troops for the Yue King Yang Tong and his son Li Shimin. This was a peaceful solution to the problem, and everyone was happy!
Wu Xin also knew that the big dragon boat was the biggest flaw in "pretending not to know the situation in Dongdu", but he could not withstand the temptation of the big dragon boat. If he really wanted to make a show, he would have to return the four borrowed dragon boats, that is, six
Ship...
Six large dragon boats may not be of much use in the inland. In the south, the impact will be great. If you have money, you have nowhere to buy them, and you don’t have time to wait for them to be manufactured!
Changsun Wuji was silent. He also knew the great value and role of the six dragon ships, and it was worth taking some risks.
Mr. Mingji looked at Dongdu with complex eyes and sighed: "Li Tang has risen! With the current power of Li Tang and the situation in the world, it is impossible for the imperial court to capture Dongdu and suppress Li Tang... This is
God’s will?”
Everyone was silent. With Li Tang's abundant talents, the only way to capture Dongdu was by force. It was indeed impossible for the imperial court. There was no way to distinguish between time and military strength!
"My lord has no plans left, I will obey you!"
Mr. Mingji looked at Wu Xin with hot eyes and bowed in praise. He paused and continued expectantly:
"This is talent! If my lord practices the way of destiny, he will be able to achieve great success and conquer the world!"
Everyone reacted as if they saw a god looking at Wu Xin...
You know, Wu Xin is not proficient in the art of fortune-telling, so he has already planned it. What if he practices it?
Wu Xin pretended to be profound and helpless and sighed: "Try your best! Life... there are gains and losses, it's hard to have both!"
What I think in my heart is different.
My own plan has nothing to do with Suan Wuyi Strategy, it is just based on the memory of my past life.
However, now that the general trend is getting worse and worse, even if Wu Xin tries his best to correct the trajectory, it will be useless.
Even if Li Tang and Wu Xin were wrong this time, will they still have the advantage in the future? (To be continued ~^~.)
