Lie Junhou [Rebirth]

Chapter 108 Nanyang

When Xiao Huan went, he went straight to the Jiangzhou camp, summoned the generals of the army, and at the same time quickly dispatched messengers from all walks of life to pass the news to the Fengtian Temple in Jinling. Regarding the situation, Hai Dongqing traveled thousands of miles with reports. On the border south of Lujiang Jingeling, the most sophisticated intelligence network was continuously operating centered on Danxiao Palace and Ghost Army Camp.

The situation quickly became clear. Among the twelve ports in Nanyang, four ports in the Shiziyang area encountered mutiny at the same time. Hundreds of merchant ships were berthed in the port. Everything was as usual, but the merchant ships suddenly turned into slaughter warships. The passengers, the sailors in charge of unloading, and the dark-skinned boatmen in civilian clothes all raised their weapons from the boat and rushed towards the city along the port.

"General, all the eleven coastal counties have ambushed for a long time. At this time, the internal and external cooperation has killed most of the Baiyue Mansion into chaos!"

In the prosperous and prosperous southern country, blood flowed into rivers overnight. Xiao Huan immediately ordered that the lieutenant general wait for the Jiangzhou camp, and the two hundred Xiyun ships followed him from the camp to the south, rushing to the place where the chaos broke out as fast as possible.

"Send fifty candle dragon ships to Jinling, guard all the waterways sixty miles away, and wait for the dispatch of the palace at any time."

Xiao Huan picked up Zuiyi and strode out of the commander's tent. All the generals took orders and followed him out of the tent.

The ghost army camp was solemn and quiet, and the hundreds of miles of mist on the river gradually dissipated. Countless dark and huge warships weighed anchor, left the port in an orderly manner, and sailed quietly from under the natural cliff at the entrance of the camp.

"General, did you send troops to the imperial city without reporting to His Majesty?" The deputy quickly followed Xiao Huan.

"Is it true that kings and lands are the same all over the world, if something happens in Baiyue, there may be no one watching in Jinling." Xiao Huan said, "If something happens, I will be the one to deal with it."

"Yes."

Xiao Huan stepped onto the gangway of the battleship and led his personal guards to leave the camp first. The Xiyun ship had the most suitable ratio of supplies and the fastest speed. He would even arrive earlier than the fleet at the moment, and the south might have lost control.

"What's the matter with the Nanyang ship stationed in Hong Kong?" Xiao Huan's voice was very deep, and everyone couldn't help holding their breath.

"Reporting to the general, the warships that originally took over the Baiyue Water Transport Harbor with full authority have been handed over one after another in the past few days. Up and down is already an empty shell, it can't support a decent garrison at all, only the ghost army can support it, otherwise it would have fallen long ago."

Xiao Huan was faintly angry, he had arranged to temporarily take over the garrison affairs in Nanyang, but he did not expect that Baiyue Mansion had scraped a layer of carrion, and the bones underneath were rotten, it was hard for them to hold their breath.

Lin Yi stood in the palace of Danxiao for a long time, until the final message was delivered that something had happened to Nanyang, and Xiao Huan led the army to leave the camp directly.

He put the shark brocade that Xiao Huan gave him in the past into his lapel, looked at Ruihe strolling leisurely in the courtyard, and couldn't help smiling wryly.

Newlyweds, honeymoon, sweet dreams, and want to part when they wake up, Lin Yi is quite helpless.

Xiao Huan conveyed all the arrangements to Lin Yi. Both of them knew that this time was definitely not a coincidence, and the three armies could no longer be the same as before, and had to exchange information.

Lin Yi immediately set off for Jinling. In order to avoid suspicion, he disembarked from the ghost warship and changed to an ordinary ship after halfway. The speed suddenly slowed down a lot, which disturbed him a little.

In Jinling City, there is always a foundation for Shengping's life, and no matter how big things happen, they will not stand still, and the court has not blown the pot, just treat it as the bandits who occasionally raise troubles in the past until they learn about General Fengdu. Immediately led the army to go there in person, and sent warships to firmly protect Jinling City, so I felt a little strange.

Lin Yi moved too fast, and before the messenger who came could find him, he had already gone straight to the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, he met Eunuch Qian who came to greet him head-on, Eunuch Qian wiped off his sweat and his voice was a little out of tune: "Oh, Lord Hou is here, Your Majesty is waiting to see you right now. "

Lin Yi knew what "these people" meant. There were not many reliable soldiers and horses in the imperial city. Those who fought with Emperor Yongguang in the past, now most of them choose to garrison the north and the south, or disarm and return to the fields. , or there is no choice, or there are very few such as Yu Lichen and others, who are still firmly guarding Fengtian Temple.

"Is His Majesty angry?" Lin Yi asked.

Eunuch Qian had a bitter face, and he glanced around to see that there was no one around. While leading the way and walking quickly, he said, "I didn't lose my temper, this time... oh."

Lin Yi nodded and made a knowing expression.This time the matter was serious, so serious that Emperor Yongguang couldn't get angry.

All the ministers stood in the imperial study room, it seemed a bit crowded in summer, but fortunately the ceiling of the hall was raised so high that it would not be cramped.

"Your Majesty." Lin Yi saluted steadily, stood aside, and glanced at the situation in the hall. They were all calm veterans, and he should never expect to see anything from their faces.

Emperor Yongguang looked a little tired, and Lin Yi suddenly saw a hint of aging from him.

"Marquis Lie Jun is here, let's look at this first."

Lin Yi took the opened fire-sealing lacquer paper, scanned the ten lines at a glance, and became more and more frightened.

"There is chaos in a hundred counties in the Guan", "Fengzhou has fallen", "Dongchangguan is in a hurry"... Lin Yi almost suspected that he could not read. These things are simply impossible.

He took a deep breath, and the words on the paper had settled down on the map of Dayan in his mind, forming a battle line filled with flames.

"What's your majesty's plan?" Lin Yi's voice was hoarse and surprisingly calm.

"Your Majesty, we still have to call General Fengdu back. It's easy to talk about the south. Now that the chaos is spreading everywhere, there must be capable people around Jinling. The Marquis must go north to quell the chaos. Right now..."

"What bullshit!" Emperor Yongguang was furious all of a sudden, he threw his inkstone on the head and threw it at the clan recommender, "The general is for fighting, not looking after your house!"

Lin Yi looked down at a drop of ink splashed on the toe of the shoe, and after a moment of silence in the room, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I just heard that General Fengdu has sent additional warships to guard Jinling. Now Nangang is under attack. Chaos broke out in the north again, Rouran thirteen divisions have not calmed down their ambitions, and the Northern Xinjiang camp is determined not to leave the guard at this moment, I ask for orders to go to help General Lin and Dingyuan's army put down the chaos, and I will give His Majesty an explanation!"

Inside Jinling City, Gu's residence.

Princess Queyang married into the Gu family, her hair bun and clothes are no longer the same as when she was a girl, but her face should be more beautiful and charming, but she is also inexplicably haggard.

The maid stepped forward to change the hairpin for her, but she opened it with a wave of her hand. The jade hairpin was broken into several pieces, and the crisp crackling sound was particularly ear-piercing to her.

"Stop dressing up! What's the use!" Que Yang said wearily.A light water red palace satin dress and gown did not cheer her up.

In the blink of an eye after these days of marriage, everything in her eyes has changed, Que Yang looked at the darkening sky outside the house, drank a sip of tea, got up slowly, folded his sleeves weakly and walked out: "Is he back? "

The maid was a little uneasy: "Mrs. Hui, a few days ago you ordered the withdrawal of the staff, and there is no one on the other side to guard the news."

Que Yang also had no intention of getting angry, and sneered: "The other end? The left and right are just the same house."

"Come with me to have a look." Que Yang stood on the porch for a while, and finally said.

She was in a trance for a moment.

That was half a month ago.

Standing outside the Nuan Pavilion, Que Yang hesitated for a moment. The newlyweds had never consummated their marriage. She had been deliberately treated as a guest for so long. From being puzzled, resentful, and sad, to this day her heart was ashamed, she no longer knew what to say.

With the husband of her dreams, she didn't know what to say.She had no one to sue, and she had no intention of suing, everything became strange to her.She sometimes dreams of people who she killed or ordered to get rid of in the past, and suddenly feels that no one in the world can do whatever she wants for the rest of her life. significance.

Que Yang touched the corners of his eyes, and walked into the courtyard to go to the Nuan Pavilion.

There was no one guarding the pavilion, she knew that Gu Xiaohang had been staying here for a while.

The door was pushed open, Que Yang went upstairs, turned around the handrail, there seemed to be a figure inside the bead curtain, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance.

She suddenly felt something and froze on the spot, unable to advance or retreat, she still walked over.

Across a pearl and jade curtain, inside the brocade curtain was half closed, a young man was soundly asleep, looking very handsome, with a messy red brocade robe on his body, lying between the brocade quilt, nestling against Gu Xiaohang's chest.

Que Yang's eyelids trembled, as if blown by dust, and her eyes were slightly confused. Through the faint bead curtain, she stared at the young man's face, and almost recognized the wrong person for a moment.

She didn't want to stay any longer, she covered her mouth and backed away, but bumped into the corner of the table, and the porcelain bottle rattled.

Gu Xiaohang raised his eyelids, but didn't get up, glanced at it, and naturally recognized who it was.

"Have you seen enough?" Gu Xiaohang said lightly.

Que Yang tremblingly said: "You...you, did it on purpose!"

Gu Xiaohang didn't say anything, just said: "Madam, rest early, don't run around."

Que Yang felt trembling all over his body, turned around, staggered down the stairs and rushed out of the Nuan Pavilion, and was supported by a servant waiting outside: "Madam, slow down."

Que Yang seemed to be stimulated, everyone made her shudder, she was so stiff that she couldn't speak, the attendants helped her back, but she felt that she was being escorted back.

……

Que Yang came back to his senses, straightened his clothes, stepped into Gu Xiaohang's study, and looked at the elegant man a few steps away: "Let's make a deal."

Lin Yi left Jinling in a hurry and went north all the way. First, he met with Lin Sihong at Beidaying. After the discussion, Lin Sihong led the army into the pass to quell the chaos. Lin Yi stayed in northern Xinjiang to deal with the Rouran army that was about to move at any time.

After arriving in Nanyang, Xiao Huan swept across like a thunderbolt, and directly hit the attacked four ports to pacify the invading army. Then he led his army to leave the ship, ran out all the rebels along the way, and sent troops to clean up the pirates. The beetles are so rotten that they leave a crumbling shell, which is extremely troublesome to clean up.

Lin Yi has always been able to receive letters from Xiao Huan. In the past few days, a group of smuggling merchant ships have been uncovered, smuggling refined iron and nitrate ore.

Lin Yi looked it over, and felt something was wrong. I am afraid that there are not many people in the world who can use the water transport route to build a network. The only people he knows are the Gu family and Xiao Huan. The former manages half of the water transport by himself, and the latter is The general in charge of the territory south of Jin Gequnling.
