Feng Yu Jiu Tian Vol 4 Chapter 9 (Part II)
The continuation..
The army still on the journey, Feng ming sat quietly on the huge tent, only by feeling the heavy scroll wheel he could know that they are being moved.
Seeing the danger approaching Xi Rei day by day, while he was helpless. He obviously came from a modern high degree of civilization, yet he couldn't even against Ruo yan, an ancient king.
He wanted to use bomb, but where could he found the tools to make the bomb? Since Miao Guang provided a dress that was being used by him as a parachute to escape, Ruo yan refused to provide any strange things he requested.
He wanted to use trick, but for deep scheming imperial like Ruo yan, there was no winning possibility from any kind of trick.
If only he got a gun in his hand. Feng ming deeply understand the importance of science and crystallization.
Ruo yan coldly looked at Feng ming that stayed so quiet, Ruo yan secretly saw how long he could endure.
Then, after a few days, Feng ming still no anxiety, Feng ming's illness was not better, the medicine that Chiu yue feed him will be spitted out several times, constantly coughing at night, making the two maids didn't know what to do.
The handsome outline, his thin face strangely showed a strong determination, Ruo yan softly stroking Feng ming's neck, enjoying his stubborn silence gaze.
"You're getting more silence." Ruo yan didn't know when he start liking stroking Feng ming's neck, the strong and powerful finger pressed on the aorta, could feel the blood flowed through Feng ming's vein, hiding his wisdom through the flow. He knew Feng ming was secretly thinking of a way.
Feng ming's Unwilling and unable to do anything made Ruo yan felt happy.
Ruo yan's gaze moved from Feng ming's arm to his dark eyes, unmindful said," The army will soon arrived at Yong yin's border."
The body in his arms suddenly trembled, made Ruo yan smiled lightly.
"Yong Yin?" Feng ming to himself.
Ruo yan's eyes showed the King's charisma, lower his voice said," After crossing Yong Yin, then we will arrive at Xi Rei. Duke Ming is so knowledgeable, then are you figuring out any way to save Xi Rei?"
The hand in his palm was soft and delicate, there is bone inside the softness, holding and rubbing gently, felt very comfortable. Feng ming concentrate on Xi rei's problem and didn't struggle at the moment.
"Li troops cross-border invaded Xi Rei, and during the journey there is no kingdom to attempt to stop? Feng ming frowned, looked at Ruo yan," Or there is a war in front, yet the people in the King's tent don't even know?"
Ruo yan laughed and said coldly," These small countries, to protect their own country has been so hard for them, how can they prevent Li King's troops only for protecting Xi Rei? They will definitely give the way to facilitate Li King, in order to obtain safety."
"Then Yong Yin....."
"Yong Yin is a small country, of course they don't dare to make any sound. Yong Yin's King has sent his credentials, and promised to open the border to let Li troops crossing Yong Yin to invade Xi Rei."
Feng ming frowned, angrily hit his fist," D*mn Yong yin's King, does he not understand the meaning of proverb "Without the lips, the teeth will feel cold" (Due to my understanding, the proverb meant that without Xi Rei, the other small countries around Xi Rei will be invaded next after Xi Rei, because Xi Rei couldn't protect them anymore, and they will taste the same faith with Xi Rei)? If Xi Rei disappear, Yong yin will not safe either. This moment they must work together with Xi Rei to against Li Kingdom to have a chance to survive, what a pity! Short-sighted, muddle -headed King!"
"Without the lips, the teeth will feel cold?" Ruo yan's eyes shone, leaned forward to imprison Feng ming in his arms, muffled laughed," Duke ming described it so nicely. Yong yin's King this time opened his border and paving the way, indeed a great help, wait after i take care of Xi Rei, i will casually attack Yong Yin's capital, maybe would spare him a life."
Feng Ming glared at him, turned his face away.
Yet inside his mind was planning something: Yong Yin's King paving the way, he was afraid that it described the outside countries had already lost confidence on Xi Rei of the Empress ruling, most of Xi Rei's allies friend might also abandoned Xi Rei. Thus, the situation would be really bad, even Xi Rei's struggling to fight back might had lost the last glimmer of hope. Xi Rei and Li Kingdom were the two greatest and most powerful kingdoms, when Xi Rei being exterminated, Li troops would be undefeated, that time, was like repeated the same history of the Qing Kingdom to unify 6 kingdoms. Anyway, it was all because of those small and weak countries were coward, refused to unite, if this continued, after all, they would inevitably be eliminated one by one.
If that's the case, then would Ruo yan be this era's politics winner?
Feng ming secretly looked at Ruo yan, such a dignified emperor figure, majesty, compared to Rong tian really not much difference, but his eyes showed coldness, most probably would be a tyrant in the future. Feng ming gritted his teeth, secretly said,' Whatever happened, couldn't make him destroyed Xi Rei.
But specifically how to do, couldn't think of a countermeasure.
Anxiously, like poisonous fire burnt up his heart.
Made use of Rong tian's teaching and the natural instinct, Feng ming knew where should Xi Rei's last hope fighting back placed.
He had ever passed by Yong Yin when he went to Fan Jia as an ambassador, in Yong yin territory, there was a big river that almost the same as Yangtze River, named Ah Man river. For resisting the invading of Li troops, the best way was to join forces with Yong Yin King, Xi Rei and Yong yin join army wait across the river. Took over the location. With that, Li troops would loss many soldiers when crossing the river.
"Yong yin's prince, have you seen him?" took advantage of Ruo yan's absence, Feng ming tiredly leaned on cushion.
Chiu xing winked her eyes," When Great King ascended the throne, Yong yin's prince personally came to celebrate. I looked from afar, he is a young man with a sharp nose."
"How is his personality?"
"This......at that time i just watched the crowd, how can i know his personality?"
Feng ming recalled," Rong tian had ever said to me, Yong yin's prince is a visionary person. What a pity, i only playing around at that time and not doing the job properly, if i know today will come, i will make some relations and adding some insights."
Chiu yue suspected asked," Duke Ming why suddenly asking about Yong yin's prince?"
"Because of Yong yin's Ah Man river iss the best defense from military checkpoints."
"I understand, Duke ming is hoping Yong yin's prince can cooperate with Xi Rei, help Xi rei in Ah Man river to fight Ruo yan."
Feng ming stared at the tent ceiling, smiled slightly, sighed," I hope Yong yin's prince is more far-sighted than the King."
"Aih, Duke Ming seems like often sighing lately."
"Aiya, Chiu Xing, don't you also often sighing lately? That's all because of your bad influence."
Feng ming looked at the two weird maids, couldn't help laughing. After deep-thought for a moment, suddenly frowned, there was something faintly hidden in the brain.
There seemed like something was wrong. Feng ming attentively reflected, it must be somewhere missed. The heart beating so fast, he knew that some difficult problem would be solved soon.
"Duke Ming?"
Feng ming waved his hand, showed them not to disturbed his thought, he was afraid the inspiration just now would disappear. He tried to think, foolishly sat for a long while, his eyes suddenly sparkled.
"I got it!" Feng ming suddenly clapped his hands.
Chiu yue and Chiu xing shocked, looked at each other.
"What comes to mind?"
Feng ming laughed," Originally, i had been worrying for nothing, hahaha, really funny." He proudly smiled for a moment, his eyes sparkled, a strange spirit seemed to enter his body. Feng ming leaned on the table to stand up, Stretched muscles, smiled slightly," How come i forget about Lie Er?"
"Lie er?"
"Lie er had been escaped with Rong hu." Feng ming's face showed wisdom and arrogance combined with brilliance," If we have Lie er, how can we not persuade Yong yin's King to against Li Kingdom? hahaha, good Lie er, actually thought of a way to lure the enemy. Want Yong yin's King to pretend paving the way, let Ruo yan lead the troops to Ah Man river. Ruo yan thought he could shorten the distance for the troops, Didn't think it would be a natural barrier that hard to attack, moreover the battlefield is inside Yong yin, by the time, the troops will appear across the river, and the escape route will be blocked by Yong yin's troops, Li kingdom will inevitably defeated. Ruo yan ah Ruo yan, you also will have tasted the bitter fruit of your arrogant self."
Chiu yue blinked after listening for a long time, puzzled asked," Does Duke ming mean that Yong yin's king just pretended to give Ruo yan a face, but actually want to lure Ruo yan to Ah man river to do life and death battle?"
"But...is that really that difficult to cross over Ah man river?" Chiu xing also frowned and deep thought.
Feng ming smiled like a breeze," If I guessed right, when Li troops arrived at the Ah Man riverside, the usually large-sized ships have already disappear, surging river flow, cut off their path."
Chiu yue shook her head," Li troop has so many soldiers, to find woods and build ship is not a difficult task to do."
"If i were Yong yin's King, i will order to migrate the coastal village before the troops arrived, also order to cut down all the trees in nearby forest. This called 'Strong fortress clear the surrounding environment' (from my understanding, it is a way to deal with the invading enemies that can neither attack nor snatch the material/supplies, they reinforced fortification and moving/migrating all the surrounding residents and material away to prevent the enemy to attack and can't take anything around to attack), in the history, there were many people used this method." Feng ming sipped his lips and nodded," Wait after Li troops finally finish building the ship, Xi Rei troops will appear across the river, the chance of winning will be greater."
"Can this method fool Li King?"
Feng ming sighed, uncertain answered," When Official Xia died, he should have not been had the chance to tell Ruo yang about Lie er and Yong yin's King relationship, if that's the case, then Ruo yan would not have guessed from Lie er about Yong yin's King's calculation."
Chiu yue clasped her hands, muttered," Oh my God, please don't let Ruo yan know, otherwise Xi Rei will be helpless."
Chiu xing also knelt down and prayed to God.
"Ah!"
"Assassins..."
Suddenly, there was some sound outside the tent, heard inside the King's tent, seemed to happen some disturbances. The soldiers shouted," Assassins! There are assassins!" There was metal striking sound, the weapons are clearly striking.
"Assassin?" Feng ming frowned, wanted to rush to the tent door, when lifting his foot, suddenly felt the knees weaken.
"Duke ming!"
Feng ming looked up, His eyes wide opened," Where are the assassins from? Chiu yue, go check it out."
"The tent was being tied by several heavy curtain from the outside, wrapped in layers of leather, the sword can't even cut open, How can i go check it out?" The special tent to imprison Feng ming, beside several small holes for ventilation, the tent not even had a window, even during the day, also had to lit the candles to illuminate. Only when Ruo yan cam in, the curtain will be opened for a while, revealing a little earthy outside.
Soon, the sound gradually lower down, Feng ming and others didn't even know what was happening outside, held the breath, hoping to hear any traces outside.
But gradually, even the slightest sound had disappeared.
The curtain immediately being lifted, Ruo yan walked in.
"What happened outside?" Feng ming asked straightly.
Ruo yan came closer, pulled Feng ming over and kissed a couple times, smiled coldly," Just a few sneaky little thieves wanted to save their Duke Ming, heh! This time they can actually get close to the King's tent, even killed my bodyguards."
"This time?"
Ruo yan smiled said," Starting from the Capital, the people who want to save you never stop coming, but most of them were cut in the periphery army, can't even get closer."
"Why don't you tell me?"
"What's the point of telling you?" Ruo yan opened his palm in front of Feng ming, and then slowly gripped, mocked," Do you think you can escape from my palm?"
"How's the condition of the people who come to save me?"
"Some with the good skill successfully escaped, the others are dead." Ruo yan bit Feng ming's earlobe, whispered," Today i answer what you ask, Duke ming also should give me some consolation."
Feng ming silently glared at him, yet speculating inside: The people who came to save him, there must be Lie er's subordinates.
"The people who come to save me, are they multiplied lately?"
Ruo yan frowned," I also feel weird, they seemed to want to die early by coming here nonstop."
Chiu xing and Chiu yue carefully exchange eyes, they understood a little, tomorrow would be arrived at Ah Man river, if Duke Ming guessed right, tomorrow Ruo yan would realize he got fooled, but Lie er of course must found a way to save Duke ming before this.
Unfortunately, among the Li troops, the King's tent was not so easy to get close.
Wheels were still heavy and slow rolling.
Still had one day to arrive at Ah man river. at the night, Feng ming still being held in Ruo yan's arms, he always opened his eyes, sort up the mess in his head.
Yong yin's King attitude and Lie er's purpose had finally thought clearly, but deep inside, there were still something faintly hidden. Solved the one last mystery, in order to the whole plot.
"You're awake the whole night, what are you thinking?" In the flickering candlelight, Ruo yan suddenly opened his eyes.
"What else i can think, don't i just being played by in your palm?" Feng ming gritted his teeth," you hug me uncomfortably, can't sleep."
Ruo yan stared at Feng ming, laughed, just when he wanted to talk, there was sound outside the tent," Great King, the spy has returned, all the ships on Ah Man river has disappeared."
As expected, Feng ming snickered.
Ruo yan sat up on the bed, lower his voice asked," Ask the people nearby, where are the ships gone."
"Report to Great King, no people in nearby, all the villages are empty, couldn't find even one person."
Ruo yan frowned, his face showed something wrong," Pass the order, Find woods and build the ships."
"Report to Great King......." The soldier knelt outside the tent had probably got cold sweats all over his forehead, gingerly said," The nearby forest, all were being burnt......."
Bang! the banging sound interrupted the spy's words.
Ruo yan's face darkened, the jade statue beside the bed had been pushed to the ground. He was indeed the King of Li kingdom, took a deep breath, he had already calmed down, thought for a moment, hi dangerously looked at Feng ming," Excuse me, Duke Ming, what are you plotting inside?" Though gentle and polite, yet it revealed the taste before the arrival of the storm.
Feng ming interestingly watched Ruo yan's angry face, couldn't help to smile, leisurely reclined on the bed," You're so great, yet you haven't figure anything out?"
"Yong yin's King has already scheming from the start?" Ruo yan suspected," A mere small kingdom, how dare they go against Li kingdom's army?"
"I've told you, 'without the lips, the teeth will feel cold'. Even a small country needed to unite against the big enemy. Moreover, Xi Rei always be Yong yin's protectorate." Feng ming sighed softly.
Ruo yan suddenly gripped his fists, walked step by step to Feng ming, his eyes shone terribly.
"You clearly knew......" He hauled Feng ming's collar.
Feng ming knew that he was powerless to resist, only could smile wryly. The clear eyes looked at Ruo yan, showed a slightly trace of mockery.
Slap! Severely a slap in the face, made Feng ming fell and rolled on the carpet twice, Feng ming's head buzzing, looked up, his lips had been bleeding.
"You want to force me to kill you?" Ruo yan muttered," Why do you want to force me to kill you? oh right, they keep sending people to save you, it must be because if you're in Li troops' hand, that will take disadvantage for them. Your existence, will affect the fighting." He stared at Feng ming, said word by word," I won't kill you. From today onward, Chiu yue Chiu xing are not allowed to enter the King's tent, i will assign other maids to serve you. They will certainly served Duke Ming properly."
His oppressive gaze stopped on Feng ming's face for a while, turned away and left.
As Feng ming expected, Li troops arrived at Ah Man riverside, no ships no woods, only could settle there, shipping the woods and build the ships, fortunately Li troops was powerful, even stationed in the river, no one dare to invade the territory, only suffered a little disturbance. Ruo yan only focus to take over Xi Rei faster, set aside the hatred to Ying yin's King for the time being.
Miao guang assigned to oversee the building of the ships, her ability is excellent, within just two weeks, all ships had been finished built.
Feng ming always being imprisoned in the tent, in half a month, Chiu yue Chiu xing not even showed up, only left a few swift and fierce maids around, prevented his action.
One day, Ruo yan came in, frivolously lifted his chin, proudly said," All ships have been built, does Duke Ming still have other methods to obstruct the troops?"
Feng ming surprised inside, unexpectedly, he moved so fast.
Ruo yan rolled his eyes, laughed," Duke ming must know the across the river hidden the Xi Rei troops, heh! how can i don't know about that? Tomorrow morning, i will bring Duke ming to meet those Xi Rei people that so looking forward to see you."
The next day, Ruo yan sure enough ordered people to drug Feng ming, brought over Feng ming to the big ship.
Li Kingdom's flag flying high, two rows of newly built ships escort the King's ship, over the river, the ships stopped a few meters away from the seaside. Suddenly, on the other side, thousands of flags stood up, as expected, it were Xi Rei and Yong yin's flags.
"This is Xi Rei Duke Ming, let's all come out to meet." Ruo yan laughed, took Feng ming as hostage to stand on the bow.
On the other side, the silhouette of people appeared, apparently could hear 'Duke Ming' these two words, feeling of insecurity. Feng ming frowned, the most unwilling thing for him to see is to see Ruo yan using him to stir up Xi rei's troops.
The familiar Xi rei's flag flew high, seeing the Xi rei's flag, couldn't help but thought of Rong tian, Feng ming's heart throb in pain, he burst out shouted," I'm not Duke Ming, you all quickly release the arrows!"
The shouting was sad and fierce, everyone on Li Kingdom's ship was startled by Feng ming's shout. Ruo yan yet had long expected, cover Feng ming's mouth, moved closer and laughed," The good show hasn't started yet, Duke ming can be the hero later."
Feng ming shivered, was there another unforeseen event?
Still in the suspecting thought, the horn sound echoed, both kingdom's flag had been moved slightly. The soldiers neatly paving the way, letting two line of horses appeared from the crowd.
Under Yong yin's flag of course standing Yong yin's King, Yong Qi.
The look turned to under Xi Rei's flag, the one that Feng ming couldn't even recognize wrong, Rong tian.
If this was a dream, he no longer willing to wake up.
"Long live the Great King! Long live the Great King!" on the other side could hear Xi rei's soldiers full spirit roar, so deafening. Thousands Shining swords pointed to the sky, repeatedly waving, looked from afar, the other side like covered by sharp swords field.
Rong tian calmly waved, honorable Warrior, attracted the crowd to burst out screaming.
The Li soldiers on the Li kingdom's ship saw that Xi Rei King suddenly appeared, intimidating surprise, started to panic.
Rong tian at across the river, stared at Ruo yan, lower his voice and said," Ruo yan, why did you lead the troops to cross Fan Jia and Yong Yin? drive to Xi Rei's border?" When he spoke, Xi Rei's soldiers completely quiet, very respect the King.
Across the river, calm and confident male voice clearly reached the ship, Feng ming's eardrum like being strike by lightning, the whole body slightly trembled.
Ruo yan yesterday had discovered that Rong tian was still alive, so he was already not that surprise, slowly said," Open up the territory, it's the King's responsibility. You immediately surrender, make Xi Rei surrender, i will let you live."
"What a joke, why must i surrender?"
"If you don't surrender, i will kill him."
Rong tian's gaze finally turned to Feng ming's body. The expression when he looked at Feng ming was something Feng ming so unfamiliar for. The affectionate that he expected, excited, distressed, struggle, not even appeared for the slightest.
Rong tian strangely asked," Who is he?"
The body that being strongly held by Ruo yan, suddenly felt stiff. Feng ming stared at Rong Tian, speechless, since he saw the unfamiliar gaze, like being shot by the legendary magic light, completely petrified.
Not even a single wave showed on the pale face, just a touch will be fragmented into countless pieces showing the vulnerability.
Ruo yan just got the info that Rong tian had lost his memory, at first he didn't believe, but today after he saw it, suddenly his heart said wonderful, leaned his head to see Feng ming's heartbroken and desperate look, deliberately said," He is the person you love the most in your life, he is Xi Rei's Duke Ming."
"He is Xi Rei's Duke Ming? Didn't he has been killed in the battle?" Rong tian looked at Feng ming, no longer showed any gentle look like in the past, just like looking at a very ordinary minister, mocked," Why would this person is the person i love the most in my life? the person i love the most, is the one who rescued me from the rapids, always be by my side through hard time and happiness, together through countless troubles, the most beautiful woman in the world and also the one who gives a great contribution to Xi Rei ----- Mei Ji!" Rong tian shouted aloud, gesture his hand in the air.
The horse stomping suddenly sounded, mixed with the horse neighing and the soldier's uproar.
A red shadow grazing.
A beautiful woman riding the horse elegantly, galloped to Rong tian's side, laughed together with Rong tian, stood side by side. The horse she was riding extraordinary tall and strong, Feng ming certainly familiar with, White Cloud.
It was the horse that Rong tian gave him as a gift.
The ear kept hearing the most sad sound of a zither string snapped sound. Feng ming speechless, opened his eyes to see everything in front of him.
The beauty woman in red, just on the other side together with Rong tian, without words, already knew the love was so strong.
"Queen! queen!" The crowd surrounded Rong tian and Mei Ji, cheered up by raising their swords.
The loud voices, it seemed Mei ji not only had saved the Rong tian that seriously injured and lost memory, also secretly accompanied Rong tian back to Xi Rei, had been appointed as Queen.
She was really beautiful and extraordinary, fair and delicate skin, in far across, could also feel the gentle temperament from her body.
Ruo yan tighten his arms, hugged Feng ming's chilling body.
"Rong tian, this is your last chance. If you surrender, i will spare Duke ming's life."
Rong tian laughed loudly," I'm the dignified Xi Rei King, how can i surrender only for a mere official?" He extraordinarily gestured his hand, surpassed the day.
Feng ming listened to his hearty laughter, eyes straightly looked at him, already crazy, both knees seemed couldn't support his body, slowly leaned backside, his full weight supported on Ruo yan's arm.
Ruo yan slightly smiled, ordered," Landed."
The ships followed the order, slowly approached the riverside.
"shoot out the arrows!" Rong tian without the slightest hesitation gave the order. Xi Rei Yong Yin shot thousand arrows, shot at enemy's ship.
Which some of the arrows actually pointed toward Rong tian and Feng ming. Feng ming looked at the incoming arrow, unblinking his eyes, not escape. The river wind brought upon the incoming arrows, blowing his hair, waved the sleeves, like a god in heaven, not fear of the weapon.
Dang, Dang!
Ruo yan waved his sword, cast out all the arrows that shot at Feng ming, raise his head and laughed loudly.
"Back to the camp!" Li King ordered to reverse the direction.
Li kingdom's ships turned one after another and went back to the camp, the Xi Rei's arrows kept shooting at Li kingdom's ship, but the distance was too far, most of the arrows fell into the river.
The first attack in the war, was only slightly met, and no major attack defense.
Ruo yan back to the other riverside camp, told the situation to Miao guang and the other generals. He failed to use Feng ming as a bait to make Rong tian surrender, but he came back with joyous smile.
General Zhuo Ran strangely asked," Duke ming's usefulness is at a loss, currently the army are facing the natural barrier, Yong ying cooperated with Xi Rei, a total disadvantage for our army, why the King seemed not care at all?"
Miao guang's mercury-like eyes gently turned, smiled," Why should Brother King got angry, as long as Duke ming gives up at Rong tian, would not it be more valuable than a Xi Rei?"
"Indeed my sister, you know my heart very well." Ruo yan smiled," Rong tian is ungrateful, Duke ming finally despair. Wait after he think clearly, he will obediently stay by my side. Hahaha, My Li Kingdom can have such a great arm, no need to worry unified each kingdom."
"Congratulations Brother King. Duke ming not only can help Brother King for the reunification, also a rare admirable figure, stayed beside Brother King, excelling the concubine harem."
General Zhuo Ran came to understand, also showed a smile, after thinking for a moment, asked," But the current situation is still grim, The army was on hold on the other side, Great King planned how to attack the enemy?"
"Currently....not attack." Ruo yan stopped his smile, sighed," Yong tin join Xi Rei, there is natural barrier, Rong tian also reappear, Xi Rei has the Great King, not scruple at Duke Ming, the originally advantage that belong to Li Kingdom has already been taken away. Such a situation, i decided to......."
Ruo yan understood the army very well. Although hi was arrogant, but not stupid, under the measure of the situation, knowing that long-term war was unhelpful. Besides, this expedition could make Feng ming no longer had hope with Ruo yan, this was more useful than a victory, not counted as suffer loses. Just when he wanted to speak "Retreat the army", suddenly there was someone reported from outside.
"Report to Great King, Duke ming pass on a message, want to see Great King."
General Zhuo ran shocked," So soon figured out?"
Ruo yan frowned and deep thought, commanded," From now on, Duke ming no need to be imprisoned in the King's tent anymore. You can take Duke ming to see me. Remember, carefully accompany Duke ming to come over, can't be careless."
The underling responded with a 'yes' and immediately obeyed the order.
Miao guang sat in the tent, sipped her lips and kept silent, seemed to think at something.
Outside the tent, the soldiers were practicing, some people were resting. The moment had come to noon, smoke everywhere, the smell of dishes floating in the air, but they seemed a bit lackadaisical, the originally excitement and winning mood being swept away by the reappearance of Xi Rei King. Especially for the soldiers that saw Rong tian being shot down by Ruo yan into the rapids with their own eyes, without the blessing of God, how could Xi Rei King brought back to life after that terrible attack?
This battle, perhaps there was no chance of winning.
The three people in the tent were all in a deep thought, there were footsteps sound approaching, the curtain being lifted, Feng ming walked in.
His face was pale, his step is not very stable, he walked very slow. Ruo yan understood, his hand was probably still just as cold as just then.
Being provoked by Rong tian, Feng ming would certainly got a serious illness. Miao guang had already told the military doctor to give the sedative drug, just in case.
"Ruo yan, when will you ready to attack?" Feng ming immediately asked once got into the tent.
His voice was deep, like hidden in the faint sound of stone, seemed like he already made up his mind. Ruo yan and Miao guang looked at each other, answered," The situation is unfavorable, probably won't be able to do long-term war."
Feng ming squinted his eyes, coldly said," You want to retreat?"
"Unless there is a tactical war that can ended fast, otherwise only can retreat."
General Zhuo ran explained from aside," Duke ming was unfamiliar with the war, our Li Kingdom has many landscapes yet less waterscapes, no such river like Ah Man River, the soldiers are not accustomed with the war on the water. Now Xi rei and Yong yin join forces and guarded on the other side, battle on the river, we will greatly be in disadvantage. Moreover....."
"Who said you will battle on the river?" Feng ming unceremoniously cut off General Zhu ran's explanation, looked askance," Move the position, cross over and battle on the riverside, that's it, right?"
"The river is broad, if we can quickly cross the river to battle, why would we call here as natural barrier?"
Suddenly sounded like bells ringing laughter, Miao guang shook her head at General Zhuo ran," General Zhuo, don't dwell anymore, looked at Duke ming's expression, presumably have got the trick to cross the river." Turned her head, the smiling eyes looked at Feng ming, secretly applauded inside: Duke ming was heart broken inside, from love became hate, to revenge to Xi rei. Rong tian ah Rong tian, you couldn't guess that being ungrateful would give you such a big disaster?
Ruo yan also quietly stared at Feng ming.
Feng ming grunted, looked through the small window, stared at the sparkling river surface water, didn't know whether through this could see Rong tian embracing Mei ji's scene, the pretty little face twisted in a moment, gritted his teeth and said," You always wanted to learn my art of war, today will let you look at my skill. Battle on the river, one side was expert in water war one side was not expert in water war, this situation had appeared in a famous battle. One side has a strong troops but the soldiers was poor at water war, to cross the river, you can connect all ships with iron chain...."
Miao guang exclaimed in surprise," Chain connecting the ship?" She was born clever, just a moment she had already came to understand, her eyes sparkled, the eyes looked at Feng ming were filled with surprise and admiration.
"Chain connecting?" General Zhuo ran surprised," Thus, the ship becomes a makeshift bridge."
Ruo yan suddenly hit the table, praised," Excellent! connecting the ships, send the troops to the both side of the ship to line up and shield from the arrows, then let the other soldiers go through the middle of the lined up soldiers to cross to the other side." He walked two steps forward, grabbed Feng ming's shoulders," God bless my kingdom, eventually let Ruo yan got Duke ming's help. Ruo yan not having faith with Duke ming, giving the reverse direction of the arrow, without the slightest old feeling, Duke ming was submitted to Li Kingdom, truly wise."
There was no chance of winning in front, at first was intended to retreat and went back home, but this time suddenly appeared a bright road in front, the three people's excitement could be easily seen. Even a subtle conspirator like Ruo yan couldn't help but got excited.
General Zhuo Ran suddenly stood up, strode to Feng ming's front, bowed deeply to Feng ming, stared at Feng ming's eyes, sincerely said," Duke ming is resourceful, Zhuo ran today firstly experience, deeply admire." Word by word, very sincere.
Yet Feng ming's eyes seemed so cold, slowly turned his head to Ruo yan," This is the first trick i give to you, called a chain boat, you must remember."
"Chain boat? Good name," Ruo yan nodded, said," From today on, you are my Li kingdom's Duke Ming. Rong tian can give you everything, i will redouble give it to you, everything you want, i will give them to you."
"Thanks," Feng ming stood in the tent, his face was pale, as if just with a little push he would fell immediately, but those bright eyes, but faintly revealed the smile and confident, emitted an amazing light, his pale lips curved a faint smile," What i exactly want is this sentence."
China's famous history of Chain boat, once again re-applied by Feng ming in his cross over time to this era.
