Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Wu, the princess's safety is the top priority. I suspect that Wen Boyuan's real purpose is to be detrimental to the princess, so we must have someone we trust to protect the princess for the rest of the trip." His.
The real intention was to arouse Wu Jingshan's suspicion and make the old man doubt Wen Boyuan's intentions.
Wu Jingshan said: "I only have a dozen generals, and the Tang brothers have to stay in Dakang to take care of the wounded. Where can we find anyone available in front of us?" Fenglinxia encountered the Muddy Water Gang, and they suffered heavy casualties.
, the available personnel today are indeed somewhat stretched.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although the Tang brothers have left, there are still some loyal and loyal people among their subordinates. We can draw out some brave and loyal people. Since we have to keep so many wounded people, Wen Boyuan will definitely take the next step.
When it comes to replenishing manpower, has Lord Wu informed the Navy Admiral Zhao Dengyun of our itinerary in advance?"
Wu Jingshan shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not. Didn't we say we would keep the princess's itinerary secret? How could I leak such an important matter?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "You didn't say I didn't say it, so it could only be Wen Boyuan who said it. Otherwise, why would Zhao Wusheng and his people arrive so quickly?"
Wu Jingshan heard what he said so decisively, but he didn't think as he did. After all, there were more than 700 people on their trip, and they were not the only three. Others might also have leaked the princess's whereabouts. But Hu Xiaotian said so, and he didn't.
You must refute it, and be patient and listen to what Hu Xiaotian says next.
Hu Xiaotian said: "We have just arrived at Cangmu. Yesterday I asked Mr. Xiong to go to Qinglong Bay to contact the princess about boarding the boat to cross the river. Today Zhao Dengyun sent his nephew Zhao Wusheng to lead people over. Mr. Wu doesn't think this is a bit strange.
?”
Wu Jingshan said: "This... you are saying that Zhao Wusheng came from afar for the purpose of becoming a scholar..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Kui's announcement came from outside: "General Wen is here!"
Hu Xiaotian and Wu Jingshan stopped talking, and Hu Xiaotian continued to drink tea. Wu Jingshan raised his head and saw Wen Boyuan and Zhao Wusheng walking in together.
Wen Boyuan glanced at Hu Xiaotian's face and was about to speak. Hu Xiaotian had already stood up, cupped his hands to Wu Jingshan and said: "Master Wu, I have to go to the princess to meet with her quickly so that she doesn't worry about me.
He smiled at Zhao Wusheng again and said: "General Zhao is here. Go first, excuse me." He only regarded Wenbo as a mere air, and did not even look at him once. The conflict between the two people dared to make it public.
Wenbo Yuandao said: "Master Hu, it's better not to leave in a hurry. Everyone happens to be here. Let's discuss the matter of crossing the river."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "No need to discuss, we will do whatever General Wen arranges."
Wen Boyuan did not expect that Hu Xiaotian would answer like this, and his expression looked a little stunned. But Hu Xiaotian had no intention of staying at all and had already left quickly.
Wu Jingshan sighed secretly in his heart. This Hu Xiaotian was really neat in doing things. He made it clear that he would not talk to Wen Bo Yuanduo, and he would not work together if he had different opinions!
Wen Boyuan was obviously a little embarrassed by Hu Xiaotian. He coughed and introduced Zhao Wusheng beside him to Wu Jingshan.
Wu Jingshan thought of what Hu Xiaotian said just now, and naturally he was more thoughtful and said with a smile: "General Zhao came so quickly."
Zhao Wusheng said: "The admiral sent me to Qinglongtan to escort the princess across the river. How dare you neglect me?"
After Wu Jingshan greeted the two of them to sit down, he said slowly: "I don't think I mentioned the crossing of the river to Admiral Zhao before."
Zhao Wusheng smiled and said: "It was General Wen who sent someone to contact us in advance. My uncle heard that several adults encountered some troubles in Fenglin Gorge, so he asked me to lead an elite team to help as soon as possible."
Wen Boyuan said: "Thank you so much, Lord Admiral, for your help. After this mission is completed, I will report this matter to the Emperor."
Zhao Wusheng said: "It's all for the country and the country, not for any merit."
Wu Jingshan chuckled and said: "General Zhao's words are reasonable. They are all serving the country, but I don't know what arrangements General Zhao has made?"
Zhao Wusheng said: "The navy prepared two large ships because they were escorting the princess to Dayong to get married. Therefore, they did not prepare warships, but temporarily allocated two supply ships to express our friendship to Dayong.
I mean, secondly, it is not appropriate to escort this big event with a warship because of its auspiciousness."
Wu Jingshan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General Zhao is really thoughtful."
Zhao Wusheng smiled and said: "This is not my idea, it was my uncle's order."
Wu Jingshan thought to himself. After all, Zhao Dengyun had been an official for many years and was still familiar with the connections between countries. Although he sent his nephew here to get the news from Wen Boyuan, on the other hand, someone tried his best to help the general.
That's a good thing.
Wen Boyuan said: "There is another piece of good news to tell Master Wu. After discussion between General Zhao and I, General Zhao agreed to allocate 200 elite warriors to accompany us to protect the princess into Dayong, just to fill the vacancies left by the injured."
He looked happy and seemed excited by the news.
Wu Jingshan's hand holding the teacup paused. Hu Xiaotian was indeed right. Zhao Wusheng came well prepared. Wen Boyuan cleared the Tang brothers from the team and then immediately replenished the new force. There was no need to ask Zhao Wusheng to support them with two hundred people.
An elite warrior must only obey Wen Boyuan's orders. What does this boy want to do? Is it just to protect Princess Anping? Or is he trying to increase his voice in the team and re-establish his prestige?
Wu Jingshan slowly put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Thank you General Zhao for your kindness, but these two hundred warriors are still not needed."
Wen Boyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Wu Jingshan, a quarrelsome old man, would reject his proposal in person. Zhao Wusheng was not in a position to speak, so he looked at Wen Boyuan.
Wenbo Yuandao said: "Master Wu may not be aware of our current situation. More than a hundred brothers were injured, and many died on the way. With our current manpower, it is difficult to say that we can guarantee that this trip will be foolproof. It is important to supplement these two hundred warriors."
It’s for the safety of the princess.”
Wu Jingshan said: "After crossing the Yongjiang River, the safety of the princess will be taken care of by Dayong's army. Our pressure will naturally be reduced a lot. There is no need to add more manpower."
Zhao Wusheng smiled and said, "Master Wu, can't you trust these subordinates of mine?" He was a shrewd man and had already guessed what Wu Jingshan was thinking.
Wu Jingshan chuckled and said: "It's not that I can't believe it, it's that I can't use it!" The old man showed an unprecedented clear attitude.
Wen Boyuan said: "Master Wu, the general is a little confused. Are these two hundred people not Dakang's soldiers? Why can't they be used?"
Wu Jingshan cupped his hands to the southeast and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty for not giving up and entrusting me with the important task of escorting Princess Anping to Dayong to get married. Although I am old and frail, I cannot bear the responsibility even if I lose my life."
Shengtuo, the people in this team are decided by the emperor. Who can go and who cannot go is also the result of the emperor's repeated consideration. If we want to let whoever join according to our own preferences, we can let them.
Join, how should we face the emperor in the future?"
Wen Boyuan determined that Wu Jingshan must have been instigated by Hu Xiaotian. He only respected Wu Jingshan superficially. In fact, he did not take this shabby old man seriously. Wu Jingshan had never openly opposed his opinions.
, but now he was uncharacteristically showing his determination as never before. Wen Boyuan secretly scolded Wu Jingshan for not knowing how to praise him, and proudly said: "Master Wu, there is no need to worry about this. I will explain it when the emperor asks about it in the future." These words were justified.
It is really extremely arrogant. Although Wu Jingshan's existence is just a decoration for the deaf ears, he is after all the chief repatriation officer of this time and is ostensibly the leader of the mission.
Wu Jingshan had always been very polite to Wen Boyuan. Although he had already seen that Wen Boyuan was young, energetic and arrogant, he never said anything bad about Wen Boyuan in the face of Taishi Wen Chenghuan. Wen Boyuan's words have already
He didn't take him seriously at all. Thinking of what Hu Xiaotian said just now, Wu Jingshan was secretly wary. If he allowed this kid to mess with him, he was afraid that the situation would get out of hand. Wu Jingshan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "
The emperor asked me to take charge of this matter. Naturally, I will be responsible for the emperor. If there is any problem with the princess's safety, the emperor will definitely be the first to hold me accountable. General Wen is willing to take responsibility for me.
, I can’t bear to let you suffer on my behalf.” His words were quite tactful, but the dissatisfaction in his heart was clearly revealed. You Wen Bo is far from qualified, so I still have the final say here.
Wen Boyuan said: "Master Wu, the last general is all considering the safety of the princess. Could it be that Master Wu doubts my motives?"
Wu Jingshan smiled and said: "Taishi Wen is loyal and loyal, and is the pillar of the Dakang Kingdom. Even if I don't know General Wen, I deeply admire Taishi Wen. With Taishi Wen's character, his son is naturally not much different."
Wen Boyuan said: "Master Wu, we have suffered many casualties along the way. If we escort the princess with the current lineup, it will be difficult to ensure her safety. If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid we can't afford it."
When Wu Jingshan heard that he actually threatened her again, he naturally felt disgusted in his heart. However, the old man still did not show any anger. The expression on his face remained unchanged and he said softly: "I also understand that General Wen is thinking about the princess, but this
Have you asked the princess for permission on this matter? If the princess agrees, everything will be easy to discuss. If the princess does not agree, even if we reach an agreement here, it will be in vain."
Wen Boyuan secretly scolded this old guy for being cunning. He also understood that Princess Anping was only obedient to Hu Xiaotian, and his proposal would be rejected 100%. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
