royal robes

Chapter 1115

"It does make some sense..." Huangfu Jixun said: "Since the eyes of the Third Highness can see, then we must act this time. However, the last general still puts the ugly words first. Although you and I are both strong in martial arts, the big There are many masters in the Zhou army camp, if anything happens to His Royal Highness, I can't be blamed."

"Don't worry, General Huangfu. As long as the Zhou army's pontoon bridge can be successfully destroyed, I can risk my life." Li Congjia said: "General Huangfu, please put the overall situation first and put aside personal grudges first. After completing the task, nothing can be said."

Huangfu Jixun also understood that everything was based on the overall situation, and he had no objection to going with Li Congjia.Although Li Congjia looked unhappy, he was usually polite anyway, but I just felt a little uncomfortable after seeing his double pupils.

"What the Third Highness said is that as long as the task can be completed, we can talk about anything. Then when shall we set off?"

"It's not too late, let's start now."

Li Jing said: "Thank you for your hard work, General Huangfu. I have just completed an important mission and have to set off again without even drinking a sip of hot water. I promise you, General, that when the work is completed, I will personally cook the wine and pour the wine for the general to drink together."

"Your Majesty is serious. This humble official will bow down and die." Although Huangfu Jixun hates Li Congjia, he is still 100% loyal to Li Jing. He has fought with Li Jing for so many years. The two are masters and servants. As a sibling, Li Jing was also very kind to Huangfu Jixun, and gave him a huge family fortune, so that he would have no worries and could charge forward in front of the two armies with peace of mind.

"Pass down the order, prepare the best food and drink, and let General Huangfu have a full meal for the war." Li Hongji said: "General Huangfu, although this matter is urgent, it is not urgent for a while. Xiao Wang will accompany you for a drink or two. It's cold, and it's a little more comfortable in the water after drinking."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

"Don't drink, don't drink. With the strength of the two of us, no matter how cold the Huaihe River is, it doesn't matter. Hurry up and set off before it gets dark. After dark, you can go down the river. Besides, how can you drink while performing such an important task? ?" Li Congjia is indeed inconsiderate of others. He feels that he has no problem, and Huangfu Jixun must have no problem either.

But the three people present looked at Li Congjia depressedly. This meal was not invited to him.Huangfu Jixun had just completed an important task. He couldn't let others go out just after they came back. He had to have a meal anyway.

Li Congjia didn't understand human affairs. In his opinion, Huangfu Jixun's skill was so high that he wouldn't have a problem even if he couldn't sleep for a few days.Eating or not eating this meal has no effect on Huangfu Jixun's state.If you leave early, you may be able to seize the opportunity.

Li Congjia's estimation was not wrong. Whether or not he ate this meal had no impact on Huangfu Jixun's condition, but it was very crucial to Huangfu Jixun's mood.

He managed to come back alive, and now he is going to perform a narrow escape mission, and he doesn't even invite others to eat a meal?Even the emperor can't bully people like this.Although Huangfu Jixun received the royal salary, it does not mean that the emperor can torture him to death.

Let's have a meal with Huangfu Jixun, as long as he speaks nicely, Huangfu Jixun can serve the royal family even harder.If it was Li Jing who cooked and served the wine himself, it would be a supreme honor, and if Huangfu Jixun died on the spot, he shouldn't have any regrets in his heart.

If Li Congjia does this, it will only chill others.

"Is there a problem?"

Li Hongji said depressedly: "Don't be in a hurry, third child, let's have a meal first. General Huangfu has worked so hard for so long, a meal is what he deserves."

"What's the point? I have no objection to eating as many people as you want when you come back. The mission is still important now. As long as it can delay the withdrawal of Zhou's troops, he can eat people after he comes back."

"Ignore him, let's go have a drink." Li Hongji put his arm on Huangfu Jixun's shoulder and walked directly out, looking at Li Congjia with a confused look on his face.

Li Congjia also knew that this might be his shortcoming, and he would not win people's hearts.Although drinking is a very small thing, at the wine table, the two can really open up their hearts and get closer to each other.It's just that Li Congjia still doesn't like this kind of cliché. As long as everyone performs their duties, the world will be peaceful.

A group of people ate a meal happily. Except for Li Congjia who was a little upset, everyone else was very happy.Li Congjia was actually not upset, just anxious.What if Zhou Jun builds the pontoon bridge?What if the Zhou army has already begun to withdraw its troops?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to capture the Zhou army in one fell swoop, I'm afraid this will be the only way to confront the Zhou army in the future, and the situation of the battle will not change in a short time.This is a battle that changes the direction of the war. As long as this battle is fought, everyone's relationship will be reversed.

Xuzhou does not have as strong a defense as Shouzhou, so as long as it is reversed, the Zhou army will surely retreat steadily, and the Southern Tang will be able to unify the world by then.

This is a lofty goal, and the amount of sacrifice for this goal is negligible. How can there be time to eat here?
Of course, Li Congjia didn't quite understand, even if he ate a meal, it was impossible to change the situation of the battle.But it can change Huangfu Jixun's mentality, at least let Huangfu Jixun understand that the emperor still cares about him, but now the situation is urgent and he has to work hard.

In fact, even Huangfu Jixun could understand this kind of words, but after saying it, everyone felt comfortable.A little smile and concern can buy a person's absolute loyalty. What's wrong with risking your life to help yourself?

After the meal, Huangfu Jixun rode with Li Congjia to the upper reaches of the Huaihe River with a jar of wine in his arms.This time, there were only two of them, and it was enough for Zhang to pass Zhou Jun's surveillance. They didn't need to travel too far, and the distance was naturally shortened a lot.

When they came to the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, it was already dark. Huangfu Jixun and Li Congjia took off their clothes, jumped into the river with only their bodyguards and went down the river.

Although Huangfu Jixun was very unhappy with Li Congjia, and even hated him.But there are differences between monarchs and ministers. Huangfu Jixun still asked Li Congjia to travel farther to the west of the Huaihe River.Because most of Zhou's army was on the east side, Huangfu Jiwan ran to the east side to break the pontoon bridge by himself. Of course, he was a little more dangerous.

Huangfu Jixun's skill was originally higher than that of Li Congjia, and Li Congjia was the third highness of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so of course he should be given a simpler task.However, I don't know if Li Congjia will be the leader.

Because the distance was not far, the two soon came near the pontoon bridge.Huangfu Jixun dived directly into the water, jumped up from the water holding his sword to protect his body, directly broke the rope connection of the pontoon bridge, and then dived into the water again.

The soldiers on the shore directly ordered to release the arrows, but the strength of the arrows was greatly reduced after they fell into the water.What's more, even if Huangfu Jixun stood there and asked them to shoot a few arrows, it would be fine.

Huangfu Jixun didn't have time to delay, he went directly downstream and encountered the second pontoon bridge, the third pontoon bridge, and the fourth pontoon bridge.All of them are cut off directly in the same way, and after they are cut off, they can go downstream without worrying about other things.

As long as the connecting rope on the other side is also broken, the pontoon will also follow the downstream. Such a long pontoon is swimming in the river, even if dozens of people come to hold it, so Huangfu Jixun's mission is considered complete. up.

'呯~~'

Just as the fifth pontoon bridge was broken, the water suddenly exploded, and Huangfu Jixun stepped forward fiercely and slapped the visitor.The opponent's strength was surging and his skills were so high, Huangfu Jixun was forced back into the water, and looked to the shore from the water.It was too dark to see, but Huangfu Jixun knew who the other party was.

Huangfu Jixun came out of the water and looked at the person on the shore from the pontoon bridge. It was indeed Zhao Kuangyin.Behind Zhao Kuangyin was a strong man, this person should be Zhao Kuangyin's deputy Zheng Ziming.

"I haven't seen Zhao Kuangyin for a long time. I didn't expect your skill to improve so much. But it's still a little worse than mine. How did you feel with that palm just now?" Huangfu Jixun was still more than [-] meters away from the shore in the water, and he had nothing at all. It's scary, even if Zhao Kuangyin rushed up, he couldn't beat him.

"Huangfu Jixun... I expected it to be you, I expected you to come again, but I didn't expect you to come from that side. I thought you would go upstream to catch me by surprise, but it turned out to be downstream. "Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and said: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. I wanted to kill you directly and I'll be fine. I didn't expect to be caught by you."

"Yo~ According to what you said, I also think that we should go upstream, and we should gather our troops on the first pontoon bridge. If we go upstream, it will be easier to destroy it. But I have a bad brain, so I came here directly , I didn’t expect you to be misled by your cleverness, and you didn’t expect me to go down the river.”

Huangfu Jixun was really lucky. If someone thought it would be safer to go upstream, maybe they would have done so.If you really go upstream, you will not only waste your energy, but you will also encounter Zhao Kuangyin. Although it was fun to fight with Zhao Kuangyin, this mission failed.

"Forget it, I made a mistake in my calculation this time. It's okay, I can take your head back to pay a job today."

"Oh~ that's not easy." Huangfu Jixun said: "My head is not good-looking, why don't you bring back a head with a slightly better face."

"It's you." Zhao Kuangyin jumped up, launched an attack from the air, and slapped the water with both palms.A pair of huge bergamot hands covered Huangfu Jixun's surroundings. The range was so large and the speed was so fast that Huangfu Jixun had nowhere to hide.

If it is on the ground, Huangfu Jixun must be hard-wired.But now it's in the water, if you don't have to fight hard, why do you have to fight hard?Huangfu Jixun directly took a deep breath, and then sank into the water.

A pair of huge Buddhist beads were slapped on the water surface again, and the water surface was hit with ripples, but it was obvious that Huangfu Jixun was not hurt.
