"Yes." seeing the master's anger, the Duke of Qi dared not argue. He had to withdraw from the East Palace disheartened. He had no place to vent his anger.
As soon as I entered the gate of the mansion, I saw someone running out: "Sir, there have been guests waiting for you for a long time."
"Guest?!" the Duke of Qi was puzzled and followed Jiading towards the inside.
Entering the door of the living room, he saw a man standing inside with his back to the door. The Duke of Qi looked carefully and didn't know him.
It seemed that he heard the footsteps behind him. The man turned around, met the eyes of the Duke of Qi, and nodded politely: "Xiao Ke Yu Xing paid a visit to the Duke of Qi."
The Duke of Qi crossed the threshold and looked at each other carefully. He said coldly, "who is your excellency? You know your sin when you enter my official residence in a dignified manner."
Yu Xing stood up straight with a smile: "the Duke is so big. Although Xiao Ke has a cloth coat, he also understands that the Duke's family is not low. Not everyone can come in."
When the visitor finished, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and shook it in front of the Duke of Qi. The Duke of Qi was shocked and pointed to the other party's face: "you are so brave... You don't know how to live or die. You're not afraid that I'll tie you up and hand you over to the Emperor..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party's arrogance: "Xiao Ke dares to come immediately. Naturally, he is sure that adults will not do so."
When the other party finished, he sneered, took out an account book from his sleeve and threw it on the desk in front of him: "before Lord Guo tied Xiao Ke to the emperor, you'd better take a look at this first. Maybe you can dispel the anger of adults."
The Duke of Qi stretched out his hand to pick up the account books on the table, and suddenly his face turned pale. After a long time, he ruthlessly pressed down his anger and sat down in a chair: "Sir, you are really prepared. Please sit down."
When the other party saw that he was well taken care of, he smiled confidently and sat down on one side of the chair: "adults are really smart people."
……
In the other courtyard of King Xiang of Wuzhou, everyone is busy in full swing. Yun Xueyao stands aside and carefully checks the ship in front of him. His eyes are full of hope.
"If you go down at this speed, you can go into the water soon." Yun Xueyao reached out and stroked the ship in front of her, saying happily.
Xie Yao, who was on one side, also came forward: "although this can be launched, the things inside have not been built yet. I don't know how much time it will take."
"The things inside are much more complicated, and not every ship needs those things." Yun Xueyao doesn't think so.
"Oh, I see." Xie Yao also reacted when he said so.
Yun Xueyao looked at him and asked, "by the way, have all the fire bombs been brought up?"
"All have been ordered by the princess. Fire bullets, fire guns and small crossbows with fire bullets have been prepared. In addition, twenty soldiers with good water quality have been selected. When they get into the water, tell them to gather by the lake." Xie Yao ordered and said.
"OK." Yun Xueyao nodded. "Now that we're ready, we'll try the depth on the water in a moment."
On the vast surface of the water, the first ship went down the lake. Next to it stood the craftsmen who made the ship, as well as many selected 20 soldiers with good water properties.
The water area was vast, and everything went well after launching. When she reached the middle of the water area, she activated the bow and crossbow on the ship and projected it towards the target position by the lake. Although Feng Mo was a little worried, Yun Xueyao insisted on getting on the ship and adjusting the bow and crossbow in person. Seeing that the target was hit, Feng Mo's tight face was temporarily relieved, There was also a slight smile on his face.
Suddenly, an attendant rushed over from the top of the mountain: "Your Highness, it's bad. It seems that several ships are coming this way."
"Where are the boats?" Feng Mo was surprised and hurried.
The bodyguard shook his head: "I don't know. My subordinates don't know. They came regardless."
In a hurry, Feng Mo turned around and followed the bodyguard to the other side. When they went up the mountain, they vaguely saw several invisible ships coming slowly towards this side. Over the years, there are not many people on the water. What does it mean that such ships look big and come openly.
"Ask the archers to prepare. If they continue to get close, don't be polite to them." Feng Mo thought for a moment and ordered.
"Yes." the bodyguard said and hurried away.
On the lake, Yun Xueyao, who is excited to test the ship, looks that today's ship test is still successful, and she is naturally in a good mood.
Suddenly Xie Yao said, "princess, you see, there seems to be a ship approaching in front."
"Ships?!" Yun Xueyao also looked over there. Several ships were getting closer and closer, "do you know who these people are?"
Xie Yao looked carefully at the coming ship. Before he opened his mouth, he suddenly jumped in his heart and shouted, "be careful, everyone."
As soon as the voice fell, I saw the other party fiercely sending out a large number of feather arrows here. Several people who had no time to avoid fell into the water.
"Princess, are you all right?" Xie Yao hurriedly looked at the direction of Yun Xueyao and asked eagerly.
"I'm fine." Yun Xueyao instinctively squatted down and glanced at the opposite ship, "let's find a place to hide on the ship first."
"Yes." Xie Yao was relieved to see that Yun Xueyao was all right. He turned and told everyone to hide. Naturally, Xie Yao didn't dare to go far. He turned back to protect Yun Xueyao and watched the movement on the opposite ship.
Feng Mo on the shore saw that the other party suddenly attacked the boat. He was burning with anxiety. While repeatedly ordering the people on the shore to shoot arrows at the boat, he urgently ordered the patrol boats to approach quickly. The army on the shore, because it was too far from the center of the lake, many feather arrows fell on the lake. Obviously, the other party also expected this situation, More confident and fearless to speed up the speed.
The patrol ships approached towards the other side, and the two sides also fought fiercely. However, the other party's ships seemed more interested in the boat across the middle of the lake. While fighting fiercely with the patrol ships in Wuzhou, they accelerated and sailed towards the boat in the middle of the lake.
"No, if we go on like this, we'll be dead." Yun Xueyao saw the other party speed up and said to herself. Her eyes quickly fell on the crossbows and fire bullets that had just been tested, and her eyes lit up.
Reaching for a fire gun, he said to Xie Yao: "general Xie, you look after it."
With that, he picked up the fire gun, aimed at the attacker in front, pulled the trigger and hit the flagpole in front. The flagpole broke in two. Xie Yao was also bright in front of him.
"But I can see clearly."
The other party quickly nodded.
"OK, distribute these fire guns and bullets to the brothers immediately. According to what I just did, greet them mercilessly. Don't be polite this time. It's best to aim at their heads." Yun Xueyao ordered in a deep voice.
Xie Yao nodded repeatedly and waved to several people nearby. According to Yun Xueyao's instructions, they picked up fire guns and sat down in their respective positions.
At the command, everyone aimed at each other. After a few shots, someone had fallen into the water, and the people on the boat were also refreshed.
"OK, beat me hard." Xie Yao was also very excited and ordered again.
Yun Xueyao doesn't care about the present victory. After all, the other party has three ships. The situation on the ship is unknown. At present, the army on the shore can't do anything about it. At present, there is no other way but to save herself. Yun Xueyao doesn't want to wait to die.
Look around the ship, looking for something to use.
Feng Mo on the bank saw that although the boat began to fight back, the other party was crowded and the boat was deadlocked. It must be bad luck.
"Quickly release the arrow, what are you doing?" Feng Mo scolded the archers next to him. Everyone quickly bent their bows and arrows again, sitting with useless efforts.
As soon as the voice fell, I heard several thick firebombs cracking, "boom, boom, boom".
