Long-distance galloping, especially long-distance galloping on horseback, is definitely not a comfortable thing for Li Xiang, from Guangping to the vestibule, she walked all the way to see, it took two days, but it only took three hours to go back.
When I arrived in Quang Binh City, most of the families in the city had not even finished their lunch.
Lin Qiaoqiao also prepared lunch for Li Xiang, it was a good banquet on the table, called from the Yuelai Restaurant not far from the Civil Affairs Yamen, it was difficult to take the Civil Affairs Yamen to take care of their business, the owner and chef of the restaurant, but they put in a lot of effort, cold spelling twenty-four flavors, twenty-four flavors of hot dishes, and several kinds of good soups, all kinds of fried and fried, dozens of fresh fruits, well, let's put it this way, let alone entertain Li Xiang alone, even if Li Xiang and his servants are all on the table, this table can't be eaten.
Since this thing is a request for others, this is naturally to have a better attitude and a lower attitude, Lin Qiaoqiao feels that even if it is a little waste, it is nothing, and the Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, she does not believe that the woman who came from the corner of the Zheng Dynasty has this blessing to enjoy such a big meal.
Sure enough, Li Xiang's eyes were straight, and it was not that people had never seen the world, and they had also eaten and seen the masters, but when they saw such a long table, they were densely packed with hot stunned, and those sitting on the table were only her and Lin Qiaoqiao, she was not only in a daze, but also in a daze.
"It's the road, drink some hot soup first" Lin Qiaoqiao greeted her to sit down politely, "It is said that this soup is very good for the skin of girls."
"Don't be so polite" Li Xiang looked at the other party with a wry smile, the more polite the other party is, the bigger the other party's plan is, although the table full of food looks appetizing, but she is not such a meal is the person who can be impressed.
"Eat first, eat first, eat and then talk about things" Lin Qiaoqiao smiled, pointed to the things on the table, and signaled that Li Xiang was not polite.
The servants sent by the restaurant, shuttling around the long table, some of the food to eat, Li Xiang seemed to be a little unfamiliar, the servant explained in a low voice, and some dishes, after Li Xiang stretched out a chopstick, it seemed that it was unappetizing, no longer moved the chopsticks, the servants quietly removed the plate of dishes, and then, replaced with a new one, to be honest, Li Xiang never wished that he was a man as much as he is now, at least, a man's belly is bigger, and he can hold more things, and she, Just after a few sips of soup and some dishes, I felt that I couldn't be fuller, and although my stomach was full, my eyes and mouth didn't seem to be satisfied.
"I've heard of Daming's food for a long time, and I thought that one day I would have to go to Daming's Jingshi to see it, but I didn't expect that here, the blessings of Tollin's assistant can also be feasted."
The hot and cold on the table were withdrawn, the two girls really couldn't eat much, most of them were these dishes, they were all used to see, Li Xiang didn't know if this was a banquet specially set up for her today, or if this Lin Qiaoqiao was like this every day, however, she thought about Lin Qiaoqiao's identity, her brother was the lord of Changnan, and she held an important position in the civil affairs yamen.
"It's just a light meal, think about it all the way, Miss Li, you were summoned here, there must be some resentment in your stomach, I think, ah, eliminate these resentments, use these delicious things, that's the best way, at the moment, it seems that my method has worked" Lin Qiaoqiao said with a smile.
"It seems like this, but Assistant Lin is in such a hurry to summon me over, just to invite me to a meal" Li Xiang held a cup of fragrant tea and said lazily: "If that's the case, then you can look up to me too much" "Well" Lin Qiaoqiao did not deny it, at this moment the banquet was withdrawn, and there were only the two of them left in the room, and she was not worried about those outsiders listening: "There is indeed something important to discuss, as far as I know, the third prince of the master, now in the Zheng Dynasty, is respected by King Zheng and loved by hundreds of officials, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have identified the third prince as the next generation of King Zheng, this news, I am not wrong."
"You are not wrong at all, that's right, the third prince is eloquent and strategic, the dragon among the people, and he will definitely lead the Zheng Dynasty up and down in the future and unify Dayue" Li Xiang nodded, indicating that the other party's news was not wrong.
"Unifying Da Yue, that means that in the near future, the Zheng Dynasty and the Ruan Dynasty will definitely have a fierce war, and it is estimated that it will not be able to unify Da Yue just by relying on the negotiations of some envoys coming and going" Lin Qiaoqiao sighed and nodded slowly: "Then if there is one day in the future, the third prince wants us Changnan to stand on that side."
"Hehe" Li Xiang laughed: "Do you still need to ask this question, now Changnan and Ruan Chao are on the same side, even if you are not on our side, will you still stand on Ruan Chao's side?"
"It's hard to say" Lin Qiaoqiao coughed and said leisurely: "Military affairs, naturally focus on interests, in fact, if the Ruan Dynasty is too forced and repeatedly attacks on my Changnan, we may not really come to this point, whether I am Changnan or Guangping, it was just a group of poor people who wanted to find a place to settle down, and the Ruan Dynasty must regard us as a thorn in the flesh, and send troops to commit it again and again, in order to survive, we can't stand there and be beaten."
She looked at Li Xiang and said very seriously: "Actually, I have seen the third prince, that is, in the capital of the Ruan Dynasty, Shenglong, but in the eyes of the third prince, I and our director were mixed in a group of merchants, and now you must also know that when we went to Shenglong, but for peace talks, if the Ruan Dynasty was sincere at the beginning, today's Changnan would have been a mansion of the Ruan Dynasty a long time ago, and our Qingfeng Battalion has already become the soldiers and horses of the Ruan Dynasty, Miss Li, guess, if the Zheng Dynasty and the Ruan Dynasty fought at that time, We will be in the camp on that side, not my own boasting of my own strength, these few battles, Miss Li must have heard of it, with the power of my Qingfeng battalion, I can retreat the elite of the Ruan Dynasty repeatedly, this combat power, even the Ruan Dynasty up and down, also have to be weighed carefully."
"But right now, aren't you in the same boat as Ruan Chaoshi" Li Xiang's smile became a little reluctant, she had vaguely heard of these news, but this was not among her tasks this time, so the third prince did not tell him in detail, she really didn't know that between Changnan and Ruan Chao at the beginning, it almost became a family.
This news came out of Lin Qiaoqiao's mouth, she didn't think that the other party would use this news to deceive herself, especially this kind of thing, she would know when she went back and asked.
"That's why I said, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, the current thing is the current thing, and the future thing, who can say for sure" Lin Qiaoqiao nodded matter-of-factly.
"In this way, of course we hope to be able to become allies with Changnan in the future, and besides, aren't we doing the things of allies in front of us, Changnan lacks cattle, and my prince is using his own strength to organize a fleet and manpower for Changnan, which is a happy thing."
"If you say that, I'm relieved" Lin Qiaoqiao said, "Things are one yard at a time, this matter of buying ploughing cattle, we have already negotiated, and it has little to do with what we are going to talk about today, I have a question now, I want to ask Miss Li Xiang" "You say" Li Xiang couldn't help but sit up straighter, she knew that the drama was coming, and the other party was so anxious to summon her, and put out such a luxurious meal to entertain herself, probably the purpose was on this issue.
"Since there must be a battle with the Ruan Dynasty, then, if now, the sailors of the Zheng Dynasty are dispatched to fight against the Ruan Dynasty army on the Ming River, is it possible If it is not possible, we need to do something to make this impossible possible."
"You want our dynasty to send troops to fight against the Ruan Dynasty" Li Xiang's beautiful big eyes suddenly narrowed, no matter how lively the battle between the army of Changnan and the Ruan Dynasty was, the Zheng Dynasty was not ready to intervene, and the third prince was even glad that in this critical period when he was very likely to change from a prince to a king, there was such a army pulling the retreat of the soldiers and horses of the Ruan Dynasty who had just won the victory in Zhenla, so that he could focus on the country without worrying about foreign harassment, and at this time, The Qingfeng Battalion, which was fighting with the soldiers and horses of the Ruan Dynasty, actually asked the Ruan Dynasty to send troops "It's just a sailor," Lin Qiaoqiao explained, "and it's a sailor on the Ming River."
"You should know that I can't be the master of this matter" Li Xiang looked at the other party's serious appearance and reminded the other party that even if the third prince doted on her, this military matter, the decision would never be her turn as a woman.
"Then go find someone who can call the shots, find your master, and it's best to give us an answer as soon as possible" Lin Qiaoqiao said without hesitation: "I think, with your channels, it's not too difficult to pass this news back, and if the third prince wants to become a king, it is inevitable to develop his own strength in the army, if he agrees, presumably, it will not be a problem on the side of the sailor."
"I can pass the news to our prince as soon as possible, but no matter how fast I reply, it will be tomorrow, before that, can I ask, Changnan needs my Zheng Chao Navy Division to participate in the war so urgently, is it related to your Navy Division reinforcements in Beiguang?"
Who said that most women are embroidered pillows, just Lin Qiaoqiao's attitude, Li Xiang judged the reason why Changnan is so eager to need the sailor to participate in the war, it will definitely not have anything to do with the soldiers and horses of the Qingfeng battalion, the Qingfeng battalion has no sailor, and the Zheng Chao sailor does not participate in the war, it has nothing to do with them, and the location of the Ruan Chao sailor has always been in the vicinity of Beiguang without any achievements, that is because there is a fleet that is said to be from the Ming Dynasty there to guard the safety of the waterway for Changnan, as soon as these factors are combined, the answer is about to come out, There was a problem with the soldiers and horses of that water division, and the Zheng Chao water division was probably going to help them.
"That's right, that's how it is" Lin Qiaoqiao didn't hide the military situation, it was useless to conceal it, the other party would not send troops, anyway, what Li Xiang said didn't count, but if he explained it to him a little more clearly, the third prince in the Eastern Capital would know a little more clearly, which would be somewhat helpful for the other party's decision-making.
"That's the case" Li Xiang listened, her eyes became lively, although Zheng Chao did not fall into the well and robbed while the fire was in place, but in this case, if the lion didn't open his mouth to get as much benefit as possible for himself, it wouldn't be her, what a good opportunity.
"Even if my family's 30,000 words have so much power to make the sailor dispatch, but this kind of thing, so hasty, can be very fatal to our sailor, we can be fully prepared and then pick a suitable opportunity to attack the Ruan Dynasty, moreover, the light sailor action is not counted, but also a large number of soldiers and horses to cooperate with the sailor, this is an extremely expensive and military event, if it is decided in such a hurry, it is not good for the warriors of my Zheng Dynasty at all."
"I just said, is this thing possible, if it is not possible, we need to do something to make this impossible possible, which means that we will try our best to meet your requirements" Lin Qiaoqiao replied: "We only have one request, the speed must be fast, the Eastern Fan Naval Division is under the siege of the Ruan Dynasty's army, it may not be able to last long, if everyone bargains as if they are doing a deal, and the time is delayed, then this deal, even if it is finally concluded, it will not be of much use."
"I understand, I will send the news immediately, I can go to the Eastern Capital tonight, at the latest tomorrow by this time, the third prince's reply will come back, and at this moment, I will immediately cross the river, no matter what the answer of the third prince's reply is, I will first urge our sailors to prepare for battle" "So very good" Lin Qiaoqiao nodded very happily: "If this matter can be done, the third prince will be my most staunch ally in Changnan" Li Xiang left immediately after the meeting, and, according to her request, Qingfeng Camp arranged a trip for him, when he left from Guangping, Qingfeng Camp did not even send people to follow them, this is enough to give her trust, everyone knows that Li Xiang came to Guangping, and the people who can be used are far from being as simple as the few people around him who are placed on the bright side, in secret, Zheng Chao must still arrange someone to be in Guangping, however, at this moment, all this is a trivial matter, Guangping will definitely not pursue these things, all things, We all have to make way for this imminent matter.
One day, two days Lin Qiaoqiao silently counted the time, if she waited for the news from the Zheng Dynasty to come back, the Dongfan Water Division in the siege of the Ruan Dynasty soldiers and horses would have to survive at least two days, and she didn't know if they would be able to get through, but this was already the fastest speed, at this time, she missed her time when everyone had a mobile phone and everyone could access the Internet. aa2705221 t1706231537:
