Chapter 69 Take Over
The boat finally left the range of the arrow rain, and no one spoke for a long time, only Han Qiaoer's soft cry could be heard.

Nie Zhongyou seemed to have lost his soul, and sat there looking at the lake.

Gao Changshou looked at the corpses of Baicangshan and Erzi with sadness in his eyes.

Li Xia patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Put them in the lake."

Hearing this sentence, Liu Jinsuo couldn't help crying.

The burly and ferocious-looking man burst into tears and yelled like a child.

Seeing Li Xia leaning over to move Erzi's body, Gao Changshou stretched out his hand, Gao Mingyue pulled him, and said softly, "Second brother, heal the wound first..."

Li Xia then put Erzi into Longhu Lake and turned to Baicang Mountain.

"I come!"

Liu Jinsuo has already rushed forward, holding the corpse and slowly putting it into Longhu, crying more and more...

Seeing that everyone was treating their injuries, Han Chengxu motioned to Han Qiaoer, took up the oars and rowed silently until it was farther from the shore, then looked at Nie Zhongyou, then turned to Li Xia, and asked, "Where should we row?"

This question was asked in a very low voice, Han Chengxu still shrank his neck when he spoke, looking more and more humble.

The last bit of his noble demeanor was gone, as if he felt that he was dragging them down as an old man, so he had no confidence.

Li Xia was thinking about something, when she heard this, she turned her head and looked around.

"There are some small islands on this lake, do you want to rest and recuperate?" Lin Zi asked.

"No." Li Xia said: "The longer it drags on, the denser they will be surrounded. Soon there will be ships and enemies with good water skills chasing us, and we have to break through immediately."

"Break out immediately?" Lin Zi said, "But everyone is injured, and we even lost our horses."

He just felt that if he wanted to break through immediately, it would be better not to board the boat, but to break through on horseback at the beginning.

Li Xia said: "Because of this, the enemy did not expect us to break through. This time we attacked them. We took the initiative so that we could choose their weakest point."

"Okay." Gao Changshou asked directly, "Where are you going?"

Li Xia stretched out his hand to get blood on it, and drew a picture on the board of the boat.

That is a "field" character.

"Long Lake is like the word Tian, ​​which is divided into four water areas. We are now in East Lake." He pointed to the upper right corner of the word "Tian".

"If they want to surround us, they don't need to surround the entire Longhu Lake. They don't have so many people. They only need to surround East Lake. The north and east of East Lake have the most troops."

"Correct."

Li Xia pointed at the middle of the word "Tian" again, and said, "Where are the troops less? Here, the causeway between East Lake and Liuhu Lake; here, the causeway between East Lake and Nantai Lake."

"The causeway is narrow, so they certainly won't deploy too many people. Let's rush over?" Gao Changshou said, "Where are we going? West or south?"

"West, Willow Lake. They came from the north. They subconsciously thought we wanted to flee south, so like this... they chased people from the north, all the way around the east of the lake, and then surrounded the causeway to the south. .and the west is the weakest point."

"Okay, let's jump to Liuhu Lake, then flee westward, and try to get rid of them."

Liu Jinsuo poked his head over and asked, "What about the boat? There are no boats in Liuhu..."

"Move over there."

"Oh."

The crowd fell silent again.

They were all wounded and tired, and they began to think about the feasibility of this plan.

"But even if you go ashore from Willow Lake, there are no horses..."

"At least jumped out of the siege..."

"..."

Li Xia closed his eyes, recalling his old coach.

He opened his mouth and spoke slowly.

"Countless enemies are chasing and intercepting us. I know everyone is injured, and I know this plan is very risky. We can indeed find a small island to rest, and it may be safe for a day or two. But temporary safety, It will only put us in a more dangerous situation. My purpose is... there is no shrinking from adversity, only head up and go all out."

His tone was very calm, as if it was a very simple matter... It was very simple for a few old, weak, sick and disabled to fight out in the siege.

After hearing this, Nie Zhongyou suddenly shook his hands, and turned to look at Li Xia with complicated eyes.

"Brother, let's kill him, the worst is death." Liu Jinsuo said.

"it is good."

Several people discussed the specific details again, and the boat turned around on the lake and rowed west.

……

"Brother, where else are you hurt?" Lin Zi wrapped up the hole in Nie Zhongyou's back and asked again.

Nie Zhongyou looked down, only to see a broken spear point sticking out of his belly, and the blood was still gurgling.

Because he was covered in blood, Lin Zi saw the injury at this time, panicked, and asked, "The injury... did you hurt the internal organs?"

"No, let's find a chance to treat it."

"Okay." Lin Zi tremblingly said: "If it is pulled out, the bleeding won't stop..."

Nie Zhongyou ignored him, reached into his arms, took out a small blood-stained package, and handed it to Li Xia.

"What is this?" Li Xia asked.

"Documents, letters." Nie Zhongyou said: "If I die, you can take these people back and let Lin Zi take you to see the right minister. The right minister will give you the position you want."

"it is good."

For Li Xia, there is nothing to shirk, he, the champion, intends to live seriously.And Nie Zhongyou was just an ordinary person, and it was normal to die in front of him.

And he could tell that Nie Zhongyou's injury was much more serious than it appeared on the surface.

Lin Zi was about to cry, and said again: "Brother..."

"Shut up, just in case."

Li Xia opened the package and looked at it, and asked, "The news about our arrival in Wanqiu and our false identity have been leaked, who betrayed us?"

Nie Zhongyou murmured: "It may be Tian Kui... But I don't understand why he would betray us after serving the country for 15 years? Maybe he was caught, maybe he leaked the news accidentally."

"What kind of person is Tian Kui?"

"I don't know the specifics, but he secretly delivered important information for my Song Dynasty many times. As far as I know, in Chunyou's six, ten, and 12 years, he has found out information about the Mongolian army and sent it to Yu Dushuai. Although his name is unknown, he has really worked hard and made great achievements..."

Li Xia stared at the document in his hand for a while, then suddenly asked: "Do you trust Cheng Fengtai... oh, Cheng Yuanfeng's character?"

Nie Zhongyou frowned, deeply displeased that he called the right prime minister by his first name.

"The Right Prime Minister is pure and strong, and must not be slandered."

"Personality can be..." Li Xia murmured, and then asked: "Trustworthy?"

Nie Zhongyou frowned, really angry.

His face became paler and paler.

Li Xia said: "What about Kaifeng?"

"what?"

"If you die, how will I finish the business in Kaifeng? If I bring the information back, can Cheng Yuanfeng fulfill his promise for me?"

At the side, everyone who was listening to their conversation was taken aback, and turned their heads to look at Li Xia.

Now that the situation is like this... Do you still want to go to Kaifeng?

Crazy?

Lin Zi opened his mouth and murmured, "But, we were sold..."

He thought of the dead Liu Chun, but he couldn't say what was left in his mouth, and his heart was full of resentment and sadness.

But Li Xia just said "oh", with an attitude of nothing to do with him, as if he was watching other people's couples quarreling.

"I only care about whether Cheng Yuanfeng keeps his word or not?"

Nie Zhongyou seemed to be very pleasantly surprised, and his already sluggish spirit perked up again, and he said: "Your Prime Minister, if you can accomplish this, even a deputy commander can be yours..."

"I don't want deputy commander." Li Xia interrupted without hesitation, and said stubbornly: "I said it, a local general who leads the army alone."

He raised his voice a little.

After hearing this, Han Chengxu turned his head and took a deep look at Li Xia, then lowered his head and thought about something.

Gao Changshou looked at the sunset in the sky, which was in the direction of his hometown Dali, and he sighed imperceptibly.

"No problem, I guarantee with the lives of my whole family." Nie Zhongyou had sworn to the sky, with a look of desperation in his eyes, and said to Li Xia: "The matter of Kaifeng, you..."

Li Xia raised his hand to stop him, and said, "If you die, I will handle things according to my needs. But if you are not dead, you will follow my orders from now on. How about it?"

"it is good."

Nie Zhongyou was on the verge of life and death, beating a man, and he spoke clearly and neatly.

"Okay." Li Xia negotiated a deal as if reluctantly.

He glanced at everyone again and said, "Are you all listening to me?"

"it is good."

"Just listen to Brother Li!"

"It's up to you to assign first."

"it is good!"

At the end, Han Qiaoer added in a soft voice, "I always listen to Brother Li the most."

Li Xia nodded after seeing everyone's reaction, and said to Nie Zhongyou, "Let's talk..."
