Chapter 631 Southbound (twenty-eighth)

The fish belly turned white in the east, and the Parrot Island returned to silence. Countless broken wood floated on the water, and the broken silk was burnt corpses and broken swords and guns. The once mighty Five-Tooth Warship and the Xie family entrenched here all disappeared with a fire, leaving only the remains, and the dead bodies proved that they had existed. More than a dozen small boats were shuttled back and forth, sailors salvaged them with long poles and fishing nets, looking for all useful things. There were also shooters holding bows and waiting for the remnants of the Xie family who had not died, so they made up for a single arrow.

Several warships were docked on the shore, with the banner of the Great Sui official army on board. The elite Xiaoguo soldiers who accompanied Chen Guang to fight for the bandits and the Yingyang soldiers recruited from the local area climbed to Parrot Island and led the army to line up, both for extinguishing fires and for searching for fish that missed the net.

Chen Guang was both the leader of the bandit suppression this time and the confidant of the emperor. These subordinates were afraid of him. Seeing him talking to Xu Le and others on the shore, these military men were far away, fearing that their words and deeds would hit the nobles and bring disaster. The place where Chen Guang was located was nowhere to be approached a hundred steps away, so that he and Xu Le could have a safe conversation without worrying about leaking the news.

Xu Le and Chen Guang stood side by side, looking at the Taotao River for a long time, Xu Le spoke first: "The local eagle is useless, and the navy is even weak and cannot control the water bandits at all. It won't take long to stay here, another group of bandits will be occupied by them. In my opinion, it's better to burn them clean, so that they will lose their hiding place and eliminate disasters for the local area."

Chen Guang shook his head and said, "Mr. Le said this is a disaster, but I think this is a blessing. If you don't believe it, you can enjoy it for two days here for two days, and you will be as attached to it as me. In fact, I will stop here for three days when I followed Your Majesty to hunt south. Even though I have the responsibility to protect you, I cannot leave Jiangdu without permission, and the scenery here is always remembered. If this beautiful scenery on earth is destroyed by Chen, wouldn't it be a sin? These grasses in the sandbank The growth of wood has been difficult to grow. If it is said by Mr. Le, it will take a fire to recover after it is not known when it will be restored. The bandits of Fu are not only suffering from tinea scabies, as long as the world is peaceful, it will be easy to wipe out such a jumping beam. For a group of rats, Chen really cannot make such a cruel decision. Besides, the creation of heaven has its own intention. This kind of sand on the water cannot be done by humans. If we destroy it without authorization, wouldn’t it be against the will of heaven? This matter must not be done."

"I didn't expect that Chang'an Meat Flying Fairy had such thoughts." Xu Le also smiled at Chen Guang: "Our martial artists use their bows and swords to fight for fame. No soldier who killed countless people with blood and didn't even care about life, but he couldn't bear a scene. If this was not from Shen Dalang's mouth, Xu would probably be the first to refuse to believe it!"

Chen Guang said: "A real man acts only with confidence. What does it matter if others believe it? If it is not the opposite side of him, Mr. Chen would not have spent more time on his lips. How does a certain family act? Who can ask about it?"

With a word, the two laughed again, and they felt that each other was more and more acquaintance. Not only were they similar abilities, but they were of the same age, and they were also very handsome. What was even rarer was that they were even less arrogant. It was difficult to be a close friend in life, and it was even more rare to meet and interact with such people who were similar to them everywhere. After the killing last night, the distance between them was inexplicably closer. At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and the two were able to carefully look at each other's appearance. The more they looked at each other, the more they felt that each other was a brother worthy of close friendship.

After all, they are not ignorant boys, nor are they willful and frivolous heroes. The two of them are so lit up. No matter how they fight, the fact that each of them has hostile positions is no easier. Sooner or later, they will meet each other. The conversation and laughter at this moment are becoming more and more rare.

Xu Le said: "Shen Dalang naturally doesn't need to explain to ordinary people when he acts, but when Jiangdu asks, how should you answer correctly?"

"Since someone dares to do this, he will naturally be confident in taking responsibility. Not to mention that Your Majesty is not as unreasonable as the outside world says, what can I do if I really want to pay for this head? A real man is born between heaven and earth, just seeking to be successful in his actions. What's the point of life? If he is so long-winded, he will look down on you! These things have nothing to do with you. Lelangjun just remembers to find someone to drink after coming to Jiangdu. You and I can't tell the difference in your martial arts skills, so I can see the best in terms of alcoholism!"

Xu Le nodded: "That's all right. Shen Dalang would be better prepared for more wine these days, so as not to be able to treat guests without alcohol, which makes people laugh."

"Don't worry, there are no other good wines in Jiangdu. There are sweet water in Jiangnan. Compared with Chang'an, Jiangdu's wine is better. After peace in the world, you and I will come here to drink it happily!"

"Well said! After peace in the world, you and I will drink here for three days. If anyone breaks the appointment at that time, he will not be a hero!"

The two of them clapped their palms together, and then burst into laughter, but the laughter was mixed with some other meanings. They just used the excuse of whether Parrot Island set fire, but actually said it was a way to deal with Xu Le and his group. Although Xu Le was also wary of Shen Guang turning against him, he turned to harm his group after destroying Xie Yongzhi and others. However, it was one thing for him to be careful, and whether Shen Guang acted was another thing.

After extermination of Xie Yongzhi and others, Shen Guang not only did not turn his back on his face, but instead ordered Xu Le to prepare a ship, leaving behind a lot of money, grain and medicinal materials. Waiting for Han Yue's injury to improve, they could go to Jiangdu to continue on missions. Although Xu Le disdains to use those power-making methods, it does not mean that he really knows nothing about these. He knows very well what huge risks Shen Guang needs to take this arrangement, so he is naturally grateful.

No matter how kind Yang Guang is to Shen Guang is, there is no human relationship to the country. What's more, Yang Guang himself is not a generous person. The old man in the vassal residence who has been following him for many years will lose his life if he doesn't quit for a while. What's more, Shen Guang, a newcomer who has not been favored for a long time? Now that the Sui Dynasty is declining, Yang Guang's suspicion is heavier than before. Shen Guang's move is likely to be suspected of colluding with Li Yuan, and his life will inevitably be hindered.

According to Xu Le's thoughts, he naturally hoped to bring heroes like Shen Guang to Li Shimin. If there was a hero like Meat Feixian in the Xuanjia Cavalry, Yu Junwu and Li Shimin's great cause would be great benefits. Therefore, his words also secretly hid the meaning of solicitation.

Unfortunately, Shen Guang's words dispelled Xu Le's thoughts. It seems that the two of them are very similar in terms of personality. They don't care about official positions or positions, or their future and destiny. As long as they agree with the lord, they are willing to die for him. Even Shen Guang could see that the Sui Dynasty was unstable and willing to follow Yang Guang.

For such loyal and righteous people, if they persuaded surrender and win over them, they would be insulting heroes. Therefore, they would only make an appointment to drink. As for whether they could make an appointment in the future, they could only depend on what God would do. Shen Guang looked at Xu Le and then said:

"I still have some chores here, so I won't keep much. It's a smooth journey to Jiangdu. Le Langjun just worry. Remember, don't go anywhere in Jiangdu City, come straight to find a certain family to drink. A certain person has limited skills and cannot do big things, but it's not difficult to entertain Le Langjun and his party in Jiangdu. You and I will part here, just wait for Jiangdu to meet, remember!"

While he was talking, he retreated all the way. When he came to the beach, he suddenly put a little force on his toes. People rose like water birds and landed on the deck of a large ship. Not long after, the sailors on the ship shook the boat and left the shore, and the ship entered the water and sailed far away. At this time, the rising sun was shining, and the boat was bathed in the golden light and headed towards the direction of the sun, just like Kuafu on the water. Shen Guang stood at the bow of the boat and waved to Xu Le, and Xu Le also waved to see him off. Xiao Liu couldn't help but mutter: "This guy is also a hero."

"I am worthy of being a hero who can kill a veteran with double pupils. This spirit is impressive. Not only him, but even his companions should be one of the few heroes in the world. Even if such people die, they should die like heroes and should not die by tricks. Your Majesty is also a person who cherishes heroes, and should understand my thoughts."

Chen Guang looked at Xu Le and others on the bow, and his heart was volatile. Although he had thought about destroying Xie Yongzhi before, he attacked Xu Le and others. However, when things came, Chen Guang found that he could not make up his mind. In the end, he not only gave up his previous plans, but instead arranged money and food for the ship to send Xu Le and others away.

He was naturally not a fool who was brave and unscrupulous. He knew how much disaster he had caused this, and he could come up with countless excuses to shirk. However, these excuses could only deceive others and cannot deceive himself. There was only one reason for him to give up: Xu Le was a hero!

Although this reason sounds absurd, it is enough for heroes. A true hero should die in battles in battles. What kind of heroes are they considered to be? Chen Guang is proud of his nature, and there are not many warriors who can be seen by him. Even the many powerful generals and heroes in Jiangdu City can be seen by him.

However, after witnessing Xu Le's heroic posture of fighting against his opponent alone, and looking at his words and deeds, Chen Guang recognized from his heart that Xu Le is one of the few heroes in the world and is qualified to be friends with him. If the Xu family had not suffered any disaster and Xu Le was born in the capital since he was a child, it would be a matter of time to become the leader of the Chang'an Ranger. However, if so, it would be a joy for him to make such a hero a few years earlier.

Although Chen Guang was born in the family of officials, he was actually a young man. Although he was loyal to the emperor because of Yang Guang's kindness, the chaos in Jiangdu City was really unbearable. If he hadn't cared about the overall situation, he would have been a complete upside down. He led his troops out to surrender the bandits this time, and he also had the intention to avoid right and wrong and relax his mood. Since he wanted to have fun, he would have fun to the end. As for the consequences, he would have to let him go.
