Chapter 540 Exposed
After the warship turned a steep bend that was almost at a right angle, the vision suddenly became brighter.
After turning this bend, the high mountains sandwiched between the two sides of the river opened out in a figure-eight shape. The farther forward, the wider the river became, and the originally rapid water flow also disappeared in this area. Become calmer.
The speed of the warship is getting faster and faster.
Finally, Yunwu Mountain appeared in Li Dachui's sight.
Surrounded by water, one peak stands alone.
Originally, Li Dachui thought that Yunwu Mountain would be a relatively desolate place even if there were disciples of the Demon Sect stationed there, but the actual situation that came into view surprised him.
There is a port and a water village built at the foot of the mountain, and the densely packed warships parked in the water village made Li Dachui frown.
“This is Yunwu Mountain, the headquarters of the Demon Cult!” Jiang Qian turned to look at Li Dachui, half-smiling but not smiling, “And now, it has a new function, that is, it is Da Chu’s second navy. Camp. A large number of naval officers and soldiers undergo rigorous training here before being assigned to various departments."
Looking at the densely populated camps in the distance and the heavily armed officers and soldiers walking around on the shore, Li Dachui felt something was wrong.
"The Flood Flag and the Giant Wood Flag have always been the main force in the Demon Cult's guard headquarters. Since they have surrendered to the Chu Kingdom, it is reasonable to use this place. But this is probably a secret, right? I guess there are not many in the Chu Kingdom. People know it, and the navy in front of them should not have appeared in everyone's sight!"
"You are always so sharp!" Jiang Qian said: "That's true, after all, they have joined the imperial court! It only took five years, and it took another two years to expand the Yunwushanshui Village and build the barracks, and training a qualified navy team was very time-consuming. They came and went. Indeed, the group of soldiers and horses in front of them had not yet been unveiled. Opportunity.”
“Maybe it’s to give the world a surprise!”
Jiang Qian laughed.
“Do you know how many soldiers there are here?”
Li Dachui shook his head.
Jiang Qian raised a finger: "Five thousand! Here are five thousand elite soldiers who have been trained for two years."
Take a deep breath, Li Dachui suppressed the shock in his heart and said: "This is really a surprise."
"Isn't it a shock?"
"That can't be said!"
A melodious horn sounded from the warship. Li Dachui looked back at the top of the warship. In addition to the soldiers blowing the horn, there was a soldier holding a two-color flag in both hands, waving it rhythmically.
The boat actually stopped at this time, as if waiting for something.
Subsequently, there was a response from the water village in the distance, drums and horns sounded, and the warships in the water village began to make movement while flags were flying.
At least thirty three-story warships sailed out of the water village one after another. The warships did not raise their sails, but they were all filled with flags of various colors. It looked like they were using a grand ceremony Ceremonial welcome to the warship as it prepares to arrive at the port.
“Princess Diaomanqiao, does the Little Overlord of Danyang actually have such a reputation?” Li Dachui laughed: “You won’t tell me that this is also your cousin’s face, right?”
Jiang Qian smiled and said nothing.
A warship came out from the opposite side. Amidst the splashing waves, it quickly approached the ship the two of them were on. A general stood on the bow of the ship in full robes.
Both ships showed extremely high driving skills. The moment they approached, the seventy oars of the warship coming from the water village were all rolled up, and the high-speed ship quickly slowed down. When the two ships joined forces, they almost came to a standstill. Seeing the veteran with white beard and white hair smiling broadly as he stepped over the side of the ship and onto the ship, the smile that was still hanging on Li Dachui's face finally completely disappeared.
He knows this veteran.
The commander of the Dachu navy, Wang Pu.
A person who should have gone to Jinghu, where he dispatched the main navy of the Chu Kingdom to fight the Shuzhong navy, and at the same time tried his best to support Yong'an County, appeared in front of Li Dachui.
"Li Duhu, I've heard about his name for a long time!" Wang Pu smiled and clasped his fists at Li Dachui: "I heard earlier that there are still descendants of our old friends. I was really overjoyed! When we were in Yunwu Mountain, He Qingqiu was only in his early twenties, and I was in my thirties at that time. To be honest, at that time, your mother was the object of admiration for us hot-blooded guys. Later, I heard the bad news about your mother, which was really heartbreaking. No one could have imagined that something would happen to your mother with her martial arts skills."
Li Dachui's face only stiffened slightly, and then returned to normal. He cupped his fists and said: "Li Dachui has met the senior!"
Wang Pu laughed loudly, turned towards Jiang Qian, and bowed to the ground: "Wang Pu has met the Queen Mother!"
"No need to be polite!" Jiang Qian waved his hand, but turned sideways and looked at Li Dachui: "Are you scared?"
"A little bit scared!" Li Dachui smiled and said: "The unruly little princess suddenly suddenly Becoming the majestic empress dowager is really confusing."
"You are so slippery and don't speak the truth!" Jiang Qian said with a smile: "Tell me the truth. When did you know that I was Jiang Qian's?"
Li Dachui exhaled, thought about it seriously, and said, "Really speaking, it was you and Han Zheng who were hunted down. When I met you again, I began to doubt your identity, and I was sure that you were the Queen Mother of Chu, Jiang Qian, in Yongxing County! When I was in Luoyang, I really thought you were Jiang Ping from Nao Shizi. "< br>
"Sure enough, I guessed it was there too, but I was a little belatedly aware of it!" Jiang Qian sighed: "It wasn't until the two of us arrived in Danyang that I finally confirmed your identity. In your eyes, Am I a little stupid?”
"If the Queen Mother was stupid, then there would be no smart people in the world!"
"If I could confirm your identity earlier, I wouldn't be so angry or rash in Yongxing County If you deal with Lin Heng's matter, Fancheng will not be lost, which will lead to the current situation of Feng Kuan's troops entering Yong'an County!" Jiang Qian shook his head and said: "You plan things one after another, and you always do. Don't do meaningless things."
"The Queen Mother praised me," Li Dachui said: "But now it seems that everything I did was within the expectations of the Queen Mother. Fortunately, I was still complacent before. Everything is under my control! Since the Queen Mother already knew what I was planning, why didn’t she expose me earlier instead of waiting until now?”
“Want to trap an innate master? It's really not an easy task!" Jiang Qian said with a smile: "I exposed you earlier and you ran away with a slap on the butt. But here, you can't run away!" br>
"Indeed, with an innate master like the Queen Mother here, and with the help of the navy led by Old General Wang, and with this misty water wave, I really have no way to go to heaven, and no way to enter the earth!" Li Dachui nodded. . "The Queen Mother is indeed impeccable in her work."
"So next, we should be able to talk about things calmly, right?"
"The Queen Mother's territory is naturally decided by the Queen Mother!" Li Dachui said.
"Why are you so calm?"
"It won't help if I panic. Why not force yourself to be calm and make a good impression in front of the Queen Mother!"
“It’s been this long, but you’re still glib and talkative, and you haven’t changed your true colors!”
"I've been like this since I was a child!"
