After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Three poles in the sun

Seeing that the bows and crossbows on the ship had been used up, the soldiers were also somewhat exhausted. They had blocked the enemy's attacks several times in a row that night. If they delayed any further, the entire army would be wiped out.

Lu Linzhi calculated the time. Third sister-in-law and everyone should be far away from the fiefdom of King Dongyi. Looking at the gap in front of him caused by the fire ship, he shouted: "Go all out to break through the siege and head straight to Liyang City."

After a hard night of resistance, the soldiers finally received the order to retreat. They were so excited that they cheered up again. Some of them provided cover, while the rest immediately weighed anchor and set sail.

On the river surface where arrows were flying, the royal fleet rushed forward precariously.

Prince Dongyi hid in the dark, secretly observing the situation on the river. He thought it would be easy to launch a surprise attack on the defenseless family of Prince Liyang with two thousand elite soldiers. However, he never expected that after fighting from yesterday to this moment, and even deliberately sending a thousand navy reinforcements, nearly a day had passed and he still hadn't succeeded.

Could it be that the fighting power of the Lu family army is really so terrifying?

He was really angry.

"Everyone is a loser."

While cursing loudly, King Dongyi walked to the riverside to check the situation on the water.

Although they failed to capture the fleet of Prince Liyang's Palace, their tenacity made Prince Dongyi very sure that Princess Liyang and the Crown Prince must be on the ship.

However, if such a large-scale attack was used to besiege a group of elderly, weak, women and children and they were allowed to escape, it would be a small matter to be laughed at, but it would be hard to believe that they were framed by bandits.

If His Majesty knew about this, he would inevitably be severely punished.

"Did you see that? The commander on that ship is Lu Changshi, the closest person to Princess Liyang. Since he is on that ship, the family of Prince Liyang must be on that ship as well."

The King of Dongyi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He pointed at the warship with the strongest firepower in the distance and ordered sternly: "Pass on my order. Every one of those people on the river must be killed. No one should be left alive."

Suddenly, more and more ships gathered on the river. The flying arrows did not even distinguish between friend and foe, and fell mercilessly into the approaching ships of the two armies. The tragic wails resounded throughout the sky.

Lu Linzhi held the sword in his hand and snorted disdainfully: "It seems that the King of Dongyi is desperate. He will not give up unless he kills us on the river today."

Seeing such a spectacular scene, the Lu family soldiers would not believe that it was done by bandits. They were all filled with righteous indignation and asked, "Could it be that Your Majesty broke his promise and asked the King of Dongyi to kill us on the way?"

Lu Linzhi shook his head and said, "The prince is fighting in the south, your majesty is not so foolish."

"Then it must be that the King of Dongyi is wantonly trying to sow discord between the monarch and his subjects."

The soldiers gnashed their teeth in anger and said, "Lord Changshi, we will protect you and fight your way out. We will never let the King of Dongyi succeed in his evil plan."

Everyone was determined to fight to the death. They surrounded Lu Linzhi and fought bravely against the attacking enemy.

Fu Guiyun and Lu Linchu led a large army to bypass Yucheng, hurrying as fast as they could, not daring to stay for a moment on the road, and after another seven or eight days they finally arrived at the border town of Liyang.

The journey was smooth sailing without any obstacles. As soon as they were welcomed into the county government by the border town governor, General Hong Qian began to gloat and joked, "There is no unusual movement on the land, and there will naturally be no enemy on the water. The Crown Prince's wife was overly worried and delayed the journey for several days in vain."

Huang Sheng, the ceremonial officer, also said, "The King of Dongyi is your majesty's uncle after all. Although he is not a great ruler with great talent and strategy, he is at least guarding the area for your majesty. He should not be unable to control even a few bandits."

Ye Zhilan, however, had no intention of listening to the sarcastic remarks of these officials. He returned to his fiefdom in peace. The first thing he did was to ask the county governor anxiously, "Can the fleet of Lu Changshi and the palace reach the ferry smoothly?"

The county magistrate did not know where the princess and the prince would come from, so he sent people to wait for them both by land and sea.

When the princess asked about the fleet on the water, he frowned in surprise: "The ferry crossing at the border town has been very quiet recently, and even the number of passenger ships heading south has suddenly decreased. I have not received any news that Lu Changshi has led the fleet to the shore."

Upon hearing this, the hall suddenly fell silent.

This is really weird.

The Li River is an indispensable waterway for north-south water transportation. How come even the number of passenger ships has suddenly decreased?

After all, Hong Qian had led troops in battles before, and his keen intuition told him that they must have encountered danger on the Li River.

But I haven't heard of any natural disasters nearby along the way, so the only possibility left is man-made disaster.

And it was a disaster that was serious enough to stop the passenger ship's journey.

"I will immediately organize a fleet to sail up the river to meet Mr. Lu."

Hong Qian has realized that what the Crown Princess said before was true, and vowed to make up for his mistake as soon as possible.

Ye Zhilan was extremely anxious at this time, and he quickly agreed to Hong Qian's request. After he left, he hurriedly asked the county governor: "Where did the prince go?"

The county magistrate replied cautiously, "Princess, the girl named Wanniang just asked the concubine for a guqin. The prince should go to Miss Wanniang's room to rest."

"This bastard, he... Lu Changshi and the soldiers are not out of danger yet, how can he have the leisure to follow the foxy girl for fun?"

Ye Zhilan was so angry that she shouted, "Go and tie this evil creature up for me."

The county magistrate responded hurriedly and left.

Fu Guiyun was really puzzled to see his mother-in-law so anxious and angry.

Logically speaking, everyone had been traveling for seven or eight days and was already exhausted, so it was understandable that they took a rest. Besides, few people believed in the risks of traveling by water. In everyone's view, it was just a guess by Fu Guiyun. Even if Lu Linzhi was in danger, the mother-in-law should not be so angry with the young master.

Such concern is inexplicably strange.

She did not dare to ask more questions, but just comforted him: "Fortunately, Lu Changshi and the soldiers have already taken precautions, and the Li River is at the junction of the Three Feudatories. Even if the King of Dongyi has ulterior motives, he still has to consider the King of Jiurong and my father. As long as he fails to succeed in the first place, I think he will not dare to act recklessly again."

"Yun'er, you are thoughtful in everything. You are a blessing to our Liyang Palace."

Ye Zhilan felt comforted and did not mention Lu Linzhi again. He took her hand and went to the guest room prepared by the county magistrate.

Fu Guiyun replied calmly, "My daughter-in-law just thought that my father was highly regarded by the emperor, so it was inevitable that some people would be jealous, so she was a little more cautious."

Even as she said this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart about the benefits of rebirth.

"You have saved so many lives with your kindness."

Ye Zhilan thought carefully about the night when her daughter-in-law and Lin Zhili went against the crowd and asked the family members to change their route to Yucheng. She couldn't imagine what the result would be now if she hadn't listened to her daughter-in-law.

Now I just hope that Linzhi can return to the border town safely, then everything will be fine.
