Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2693 Invincible
Li Tai changed the topic, no longer talking about serious matters, but picked up interesting trifles, and even admired the scenery along the way.

He was eager to learn since he was a child, and read a lot of books. Fang Jun was even more knowledgeable and witty. The atmosphere became more active.

After all, the princesses are women in boudoirs, and their knowledge is limited. It is very interesting to hear these three people talk about some weird things, especially the open-minded atmosphere of being on the big river with the setting sun above their heads is completely different. In the previous imperial palace or their respective mansions, the feeling of physical and mental comfort is very pleasant, unconsciously drinking a glass of rice wine.

When the setting sun was setting, candles were held in the hall, and the shadows of the candles shook red, making the beautiful smiling faces stained with alcohol more like flowers and jade.

The banquet was not over until it was dark outside the hall.

Although traveling together, it is inconvenient for men and women to sleep in the same boat. At this moment, the river is wide and the current is stable, the warship slows down, the flagship catches up from behind, and the two boats walk side by side, only a few feet apart. Arch the three men over to the flagship.

Li Tai went first, and a soldier stepped forward to tie the rope around his waist, so as not to fall into the water so that he could be rescued quickly, but Li Tai stretched out his hand to stop him, stepped onto the gangplank, and strode towards the opposite warship. The springboard was wobbly, but Li Tai walked steadily, and took a few strides over it.

Although the figure is still fat compared to the average person, the trip to the Western Regions has made Li Tai release a reborn change. First of all, his physical fitness is better than before, with strong muscles and bones, and he is no longer as "fat in the waist and abdomen" as before. Wide", panting after walking a few steps.

There were only two people left, Fang Jun raised his hand towards Du He: "Brother Du please first."

Du He looked at the thin springboard, swallowed, and said with a forced smile: "Erlang, you should invite first, and let me take it easy..."

Fang Jun didn't take it seriously, and he didn't need to tie the rope. With a flick of his robe, he strode onto the shaky springboard and walked across like walking on flat ground.

Du He leaned over the side of the boat and looked down. The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the silvery moonlight shone on the river water under the side of the boat. Somebody tied the rope."

He can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands. When he was a child, he practiced knives, sticks, fists and kicks for a few days, but after all these years of pampering, he has neglected to practice. His legs are weak and weak. He doesn't want to show timidity in front of Li Tai and Fang Jun, but I am afraid that my feet will slip and fall into the river. The Yellow River is rushing and turbulent.

The soldiers didn't dare to show any strange expressions, they stepped forward and tied the rope firmly around Du He's waist, and said: "Your Majesty, just look up and look forward, don't look at your feet, it doesn't matter even if you stumble and fall into the water, someone is on the boat The sailor who is responsible for lifting the anchor can pull up a large anchor weighing several hundred kilograms in one breath. Mr. Lang, with his small body, can lift it up for you within three breaths. He can drink at most two sips of water, and he will definitely not drown anyone. "

Du He stared: "..."

Damn, why does the more I talk about it, the more afraid I become?

But Li Tai and Fang Jun are waiting in the lead. Behind them are a few princesses watching from the cockpit. You must not shrink back, otherwise you will become a laughingstock for the rest of your life, so you have to grit your teeth and look at the soldier. He said: "Then you have to hold on to the rope firmly. If someone falls into the water, you should pull him up as soon as possible. If you drag him too late and drown him, he will not let you go even if he becomes a water ghost!"

Pawn: "..."

Damn!It's just a springboard, even a three-year-old child can walk over it, what about you?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I guarantee with my head that there will be no accidents!"

The soldiers issued a military order.

Only then did Du He feel relieved, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the springboard.

It was okay when he was on one foot, but when he stepped up with both feet, the thin springboard suddenly wobbled, his legs went limp and his face turned pale, he almost knelt on the springboard, especially when he looked down and saw the rolling board. The river flowed under his feet, and he felt dizzy for a while. He quickly raised his head according to what the soldier said, and looked ahead.

The nausea in my heart finally disappeared, Du He heaved a sigh of relief, and stepped forward.

But his eyes looked forward, but he lost his footing. He stepped on the edge of the springboard and slipped, and the whole person fell into the river suddenly...

Everyone on the two ships was taken aback.

Fortunately, the soldier really didn't brag about it. Seeing Du He falling into the river, he quickly took a step forward, one foot stood on the side of the boat, and the two sticks competed. He was picked up the moment he fell into the water.

On the rudder tower, Princess Jinyang watched Du He fall into the river, and immediately exclaimed: "No! Du Concubine fell into the water!"

All the princesses exclaimed.

When Du He was carried up by the soldier with the rope and placed on the deck, they all heaved a sigh of relief, and Princess Gao Yang complained, "Why are you so careless? If you fall into the water and catch a cold, you might have to It's really useless to be seriously ill."

Princess Changle tugged at her sleeve, Princess Gaoyang became alert and shut up quickly.

On the side, Princess Chengyang had already covered her face with one hand, worried and ashamed, and cursed in her heart that she was useless and shameless...

In the end, it was the soldier who carried Du He on his back and sent him to the opposite warship.

Du He fell to the ground with both feet, his face was flushed, and he said in shame: "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm weak and weak, I'm laughing, I'm laughing..."

Li Tai said unhappily: "You haven't practiced for a long time. From my lord's point of view, you have practiced too much on the belly of the oiran in Pingkangfang, right? You are so soft-handed and soft-footed in your twenties. How about a few years later?" Want to drag the dog's tail to bed?"

Du He was ashamed and didn't dare to argue, so he covered his face and rushed into the cabin in embarrassment.

The two followed and sat at the table next to the porthole. A soldier made a pot of hot tea and brought it on a tea tray and placed it on the table.

Fang Jun drove the soldiers away with a wave of his hand, held the pot and poured a cup for Li Taihe himself, looked at Du He's bedroom, and raised his voice, "Brother Du, do you drink tea?"

Du He's muffled voice came: "I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep now, thank you Erlang for your kindness."

Fang Jun shook his head and was speechless.

Li Tai didn't bother to pay attention to Du He. The Fangling Du family was a well-known Guanzhong clan. Du Ruhui was the head of civil servants before his death, but he was still capable of both civil and military affairs. …

Glancing at the dark night outside the window, he frowned and said, "It's not safe to sail at night, Erlang is worried that Qiu Yingqi will kill us suddenly while we are docking at the post station ferry?"

Fang Jun shook his head, took a sip of his tea, and said, "No, the Tongguan Waterway is full of turmoil. Even if Qiu Yingqi had two guts, she wouldn't dare to kill him secretly at this time. From the moment my minister promised His Highness to go south until today, a total of It doesn't take a few days, and it will take some time for the news to reach Jiangnan. Presumably those Jiangnan gentry are plotting to use some cunning tricks to deal with us at the moment, so we simply travel day and night to catch them by surprise. As for sailing at night Your Highness does not need to worry about its safety. The entire Yellow River and most of the Yangtze River have already been surveyed by the Navy. Where there are turning points, where there are hidden reefs, and where there are cliffs, they are all clear. If the speed is slower, there will be absolutely nothing. Accident."

Li Tai trusted Fang Jun very much. Since Fang Jun said it was fine, it must be fine.

It's just that he was a little dissatisfied with Fang Jun's words...

"What do you mean to say that when the king goes south by himself, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will be able to take care of themselves, but with you, they will have to discuss countermeasures? Don't believe me, this world is ruled by Li Tang, and this king is the father of the emperor. My son, a first-rank prince, isn't it better for you to be valued by the Jiangnan gentry?"

His Royal Highness King Wei has always been proud and arrogant, and he does not agree with Fang Jun's words.

Fang Jun smiled and said: "Naturally, His Highness has more prestige and status, but His Highness has always had a good reputation. Everyone in the world knows that you are well-read and knowledgeable, but they are not afraid of you. However, my humble minister is different. The prestige in Jiangnan is not earned by relying on official positions, titles, and knowledge, but by fighting all the way with a knife."

Li Tai was stunned, but he had to admit it.

From the time when Fang Jun first went to the south of the Yangtze River and was besieged in Niuzhuji by the Shanyue mob, until the entire family of the Lu family in Jiangdong was wiped out, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River did not know how many times they were beaten and killed by Fang Jun. Now the Royal Navy He is also tightly grasping the lifeline of the Jiangnan gentry's maritime trade. Compared with a gentle and elegant prince, he is of course more afraid of this stick.

When facing themselves, the Jiangnan gentry may still think of various ways to prevaricate and perfunctory, but facing Fang Jun, who has the guts?
