Chapter 116
Liu Ling and Wu were furious.
The two tower ships, with the flag of the Huainan Prince's Mansion, can be clearly distinguished from a hundred steps away. All officials and civilians will avoid these two ships as much as possible when they see them, and naturally there will be no possibility of making mistakes. Some people are potentially snooping in the water, so they are naturally targeting the Huainan Prince's Mansion. If Yan Zhu died in the territory of Huainan Kingdom and on the Huainan Prince's Mansion, Huainan King Liu An would not be able to escape.
The relaxed atmosphere was swept away, and everyone entered a state of combat security, ready to face the battle.
Liu Ling told Yan Zhu the situation immediately and asked: "Yan Jun, who do you think it will be?"
Liang Xiao stood outside the cabin and couldn't help but smile when he heard Liu Ling's words. Yan Zhu was still in shock now. Liu Ling's question would give Yan Zhu a preconceived impression and determine that these people were for Yan Zhu. In fact, it is still unclear who these people are. It may be targeted at Yan Zhu, it may be targeted at the King of Huainan, or it may be targeted at him Liang Xiao.
Liu Ling's urgent wisdom and eloquence were fully demonstrated at this moment.
Sure enough, Yan Zhu naturally regarded himself as his target and began to think about who wanted to kill him. Although he didn't say anything, Liang Xiao could hear his disordered breathing while standing outside the cabin, and couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that this envoy also has many enemies. Thinking about his temper, it is not surprising that some people don’t want him to return home in glory and want to intercept him halfway.
No matter who it is targeted, Liang Xiao cannot be idle. Wu is responsible for the vigilance on the outside, and Wei Qing and Qin Ge are responsible for the vigilance on the inside. The alert work above the deck and outside the cabin falls on Liang Xiao and others.
After discussion, Li Jiao and Liang Xiao each led four Langguans and took turns to serve. Originally, according to Liang Xiao's age and qualifications, such opportunities would not fall on him. However, after swimming training and the emergency response just now, especially Liang Xiao's shot into the enemy underwater, the Langguans increased their confidence in him and were willing to accept his command from a backward.
Liang Xiao knew that this was a responsibility and an opportunity. Being able to get this opportunity at least means that these ten men and women have recognized his abilities. It was a great encouragement for him, a man who had just joined the company for less than a month. Li Jiao tried his best to promote this matter, which also proved that the father and son of the Li family had vision. If he failed to do a job, it would not only affect his future, but also slander Li Guang and Li.
"Thank you brothers for your misunderstandings." Liang Xiaohuanhuan bowed with a humble attitude and full of sincerity. He didn't want to be as proud as Yan Zhu. "The situation is urgent. Xiao is a water town. If you know the nature of water more than your brothers, you will overestimate yourself and be the team leader. If you do something wrong, please give me more advice."
Seeing a minor boy as the leader, even if he was just a small sergeant, the officials were somewhat dissatisfied. However, seeing Liang Xiao was so polite, they became a little more angry. Liang Xiao said some of the scenes and then made a suggestion: Each official was under the leather armor and hid a sheepskin airbag under the armor.
When people are in the water, as long as they don’t mess up their hands and feet, most of them can keep floating on the water. However, these men can just swim, but once they fall into the water, it is difficult to remain calm. In addition, they have armor, swords, and helmets on their heads. Once they enter the water, they are easily head-heavy and light, causing their heads to sink in the water and unable to breathe.
In the breastplate and the back of the bracelet, two sheepskin sacs can ensure that the head floats on the water surface and does not affect breathing.
The men and women heard this and cheered in unison. What they were most worried about was water. With these two sheepskins, their lives were more guaranteed. In the face of life and death, whether it was good or not, no one cared about it.
He did it as soon as he said that. Liang Xiao immediately found Wu Que and asked for more than 20 sheepskin bags. There were hundreds of people on the boat, including sailors. In order to ensure that the sailors and soldiers had enough physical strength, they had to kill pigs and sheep every day. There were quite a lot of sheepskins accumulated, some of which were sewn into sheepskin bags and used as life-saving supplies. Liang Xiao found them and asked the men to tie them to them.
With the sheepskin protection, the men and women felt much more at ease and even their pace was three points stable.
Liang Xiao rushed to Yan Zhu's cabin with six more sheepskin bags, and suggested that Yan Zhu and others also bring the sheepskin bags as soon as possible. Yan Zhu glanced at Liang Xiao and pushed them away gently. "Give them aside, I have been playing in the water since I was a child, and the water quality is not worse than that of ordinary boatmen."
Liang Xiao did not insist, left the sheepskin bag, left the cabin, and then began the inspection with four men and women.
Liu Ling stood in front of the window and watched Liang Xiao walk past the window with four thick chests and backs, and couldn't help laughing: "He can really think of it, use this to make the officials relieved. If it really falls into water, can this be used?"
Wu Que's eyes were full of appreciation. "Master Weng, no matter whether this can save his life or not, it will at least make the officials relieved. The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road. If they are timid before fighting, it is impossible to win. These officials are all northerners and are not good at boats. Doing so will help them get rid of the timidity in their hearts."
"Yes, it can at least play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. Although he has never led the army, he knows the importance of the morale of the army." Liu Ling pondered for a moment and said again: "Maybe Huan Yuan taught him."
"Huan Yuan can teach him military tactics, but he may not be able to teach him such a method. This should be what he thought of himself." Wu was praised: "Learn from one example and adapt to the situation. This is a very attentive young man, and his future is limitless."
Liu Ling looked back at Wu Que. Wu Que was very respectful and had never praised anyone like this. This shows that Liang Xiao's performance was indeed excellent. She didn't say anything, but a faint pride in her heart, and she was even a little proud.
...
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, there is a slender stoop boat hidden in the dense reeds, shaking slowly with the river water.
"Crash!" The river water sounded, and Ye Tianlong, wearing a black fish-skin coat, showed his head out of the water, reached out to grab the boat gang, spit out a sip of water, and gasped in big mouthfuls.
Zhong Liqi caught up, lifted Ye Tianlong with one hand, and dragged it into the cabin. Ye Tianlong's thigh was shot with an arrow, and the wound was soaked in blood. As soon as water came out, blood sucked out again. Huan Yuan sat in the cabin, his eagle-like gaze fell on Ye Tianlong's wound.
"Injured?"
Ye Tianlong sat up forcibly and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Unfortunately, I met an archery master, and hid under the water and got an arrow."
Zhong Liqi and Huan Yuan exchanged a look. "Did you see the opponent clearly?"
"I've been underwater and can't see him clearly. But he shoots arrows quickly and quickly, and the arrows are always on my mind, treating me like a big fish. If it weren't for him, I would definitely be able to catch a tongue. I've cut the rope."
Huan Yuan asked about some more situations and asked Ye Tianlong to rest behind. When there was no one around, Zhong Liqi whispered: "General, could it be Liang Xiao? This continuous shooting technique is very charming as a general back then."
"Not necessarily." Huan Yuan stroked the short beard under his jaw, his eyes flashed. "He has only been accustomed to ejaculation for more than a year, and neither the range nor the correct head should have reached such a level. I think it may be Li Jiao. He is the son of Li Guang, and his family's craftsmanship cannot be underestimated."
Zhongliqi disagreed. "I still think it's more likely that it is Liang Xiao. General, do you remember that he did it in less than two months after you asked him to build a foundation for a hundred days. Unfortunately, if he kept following the general, he might have the opportunity to practice real sound shooting skills."
"Stop talking about him." Huan Yuan was a little anxious. "The whereabouts have been revealed, and we must leave immediately."
