Six hundred and twentieth chapters of the sea line of defense
As soon as the emperor's decree came out, everyone in the Shen Mansion was shocked.
Especially Li Biao Shilei and others, it was as if they were in a dream.
"Why would the emperor send Shi Lei to build a maritime defense line? Apart from his skills in martial arts, how can he be worthy of this job?"
Li Biao and Shi Lei were old rivals. They would fight each other whenever they had the chance. They were on the same level before. They were both Shen Yanqing's bodyguards. Now Shi Lei has become an official of the imperial court. Li Biao was happy for him in his heart, but he changed his mind when he opened his mouth. It became a mockery.
Shi Lei took over the imperial edict with a proud look on his face and didn't care at all about Li Biao's harsh words.
"That's because the Emperor saw that I, Mr. Shi, am brave and capable of great use. You think everyone else is like you, and you are simply blind!"
"You! Who are you calling blind?"
Li Biao was so angry at his words that he blushed and became thick-necked. He raised his fist and hit him.
Shi Lei stepped back smartly. It was common for the two of them to fight, and he had already developed his defensive speed.
Shi Lei accepted the move while protecting the imperial edict in his arms to prevent Li Biao from damaging it without knowing the importance.
"Who else can I say? Is there anyone blinder than you here?"
"I think you just deserve a spanking. I see your Grandpa Li won't teach you a lesson!"
"When you come, it's not certain who will teach whom!"
The two of them went back and forth, using the small open space in the yard as a training ground, and the fight was dark.
As soon as Liang Duo entered the door, he was almost swept away by their legs. His face turned dark and he shouted in a low voice.
"Stop! What does it look like to fight and kill all day long!"
"Brother..."
"Brother!"
When the two heard what Liang Duo said, they stopped in a hurry. Li Biao was most afraid of this elder brother. He shrank his neck and stood aside, not forgetting to betray Shi Lei.
"Brother, it was Shi Lei who said I was blind, so I hit him!"
"Brother, Li Biao is not convinced that the emperor made me an official, and he was the one who made the move first. I was just forced to resist."
Shi Lei was not someone who just waited to be beaten. Liang Duo knew the tempers of the two of them, so it was probably Li Biao who started this matter.
He pressed his hand to silence both of them and asked people to clean up the outside while he led them into the house.
"The emperor's important appointment of Shi Lei was recommended by the master."
"Recommended by the master?"
"I'm better than Stone Kung Fu, why doesn't Master recommend me?"
Liang Duo's words cleared up the doubts between the two of them. When he heard that it was Shen Yanqing who recommended him, Shi Lei could only go to thank Shen Yanqing with tears in his eyes.
Li Biao, on the other hand, was unconvinced. He was obviously the person his master loved most, but he had the good job of being an official, but his master didn't think about him. Thinking of this, Li Biao's eyebrows drooped, and he looked very aggrieved.
Liang Duo knew his temper, which was reckless and impulsive, and careless. It was perfectly fine for him to be the executor, but it was absolutely impossible for him to be the decision-maker.
"Master has his own reasons for recommending Shi Lei. Shi Lei is more careful and strategic than you. He is more suitable for this position than you."
"Hmph! Master is partial!"
Li Biao tilted his head and crossed his arms over his chest. He still couldn't accept that Shi Lei would suppress him in the future.
He feels bad even if he wins the fight!
"Shi Lei is good at planning and you are good at martial arts. My master assigns tasks based on your respective strengths."
"Brother, you mean that I can also be an official?"
Li Biao's mind was rare and he quickly extracted the key points from Liang Duo's words.
"nature."
Liang Duo nodded, looking at Li Biao's excited expression, he continued.
"Not just you and me, but also other brothers, the master will arrange positions for you."
As soon as he said these words, the crowd was completely excited.
They can also become officials in the court like Shi Lei!
What a good thing!
A group of guards all gathered around and asked carefully. Liang Duo was surrounded by them and couldn't escape. Li Biao knew that he would also have an official position. He was so proud that his nose almost turned up.
He raised his head and looked at Shi Lei proudly, with his hands behind his back, "Humph, little stone, don't be so arrogant. When grandpa gets an official title later, he will definitely have a bigger official position than you!"
Li Biao always felt that he was more capable than Shi Lei. Shi Lei became a sixth-rank military general, but he could not get a fifth-rank general.
"Okay, then I'll wait!"
Although Shi Lei often sparred with him, the feelings between the brothers were real, and everyone had a bright future. There was nothing more joyful than this.
It doesn't matter if he gets ridiculed by Li Biao!
"snort!"
Li Biao raised his fist and hit his shoulder moderately. When he turned around, the smile on his lips spread to the back of his head.
Just let Xiao Shitou give it a try, and he won't hold back any more in the next fight.
A small island off Ryukyu.
Tuoba Mingge and his party were blown to the shore by the sea breeze. They were in a miserable state and their clothes were in tatters, especially Jiang Ru. The cloud and smoke gauze on her body was cut into strips and wrapped around her body, exposing a large area of skin.
Her skin was originally fair and delicate, but after these days of exposure to wind and sun, it has long since become rough, and her skin has also turned from fair to dark yellow.
Jiang Ru hugged the coconut trees on the shore tightly and waited for the waves to recede.
She only has regrets in her heart now. If she had known that the escape process would be so difficult, she might as well have been taken back to the Jiang family by Yuan Lang.
Maybe if she begs for a few words, Aunt Zhao will soften her heart and forgive her.
It's just that, having reached this point, there is no point in regretting it anymore.
The most important thing for them right now is to survive!
Tuoba Mingge's condition was also very bad. They hit a rock at sea. Tuoba Mingge was injured in the abdomen and soaked in sea water. Now the wound was injured and the high fever did not go away.
Jiang Ru came down from the tree, gritted her teeth and walked to him, smashed open the coconut she just picked up, and put the juice to his mouth.
"Mr. sir, drink some quickly."
They got separated from the guards. If Jiang Ru wanted to escape, she could only wait for the guards to rescue her, but before that, she had to please the people in front of her.
Jiang Ru endured her hunger and thirst and fed him all the coconuts. Tuoba Mingge turned pale and swallowed subconsciously. When he finished eating them all, he lightly fluttered his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.
"Ru'er..."
"Ru'er is here."
A gentle smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Ru's mouth, she reached out to hold Tuoba Mingge's hand and asked softly.
"Is your husband feeling better? Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about?"
Tuoba Mingge had just finished drinking a coconut and had regained some strength. He stood up with Jiang Ru's strength, leaned against the stone, shook his head and said.
"Much better."
"Where are Jiayi and the others?"
After he passed out, he didn't know what happened. Seeing that there were only two of them around, Tuoba Mingge frowned.
Jiang Ru showed her panic at the right time, "We were separated from A, and Ru'er didn't have time to look for them in order to take care of her husband."
"Thanks a lot."
Tuoba Mingge patted Jiang Ru's hand, and the affection in his eyes became more real.
Jiang Ru could accompany him on his escape and save him in times of crisis. Tuoba Mingge's heart was not made of stone.
"Whatever your husband says, this is what Ru'er should do."
