Fish leaps over the dragon gate

Xie Hui boarded the deck and was about to reprimand when his vision went dark. It seemed as if something wet and sticky had covered his face.

"Thank you, Captain!"

"Thank you, Shizhong!"

"Xie Zhendong!"

"..."

The surrounding soldiers all crowded up in fear, looking at the Yellow River Carp who had just slapped Xie Hui and were a little at a loss. The joyful atmosphere just now suddenly came to an end.

This time Xie Hui took the order to go to Qingzhou to establish the East China Sea Dudufu. In addition to his status as a minister and Chen Guogong, he was also named General Zhendong by Liu Yizhen and envoy Chijie.

In fact, there is no need for so many titles. The weight of the two words "Xie Hui" alone can make everyone awe enough.

Just like now.

Either Xue An or Xue An ran to Xie Hui and apologized to Xie Hui embarrassedly:

"Xie Shizhong, I'm so sorry! This Yellow River carp is so strong that ordinary soldiers can't hold it down, so it accidentally flew up..."

Xie Huiqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the messy deck and many soldiers and asked: "This ship has just left Luoyang, and your military discipline is so lax, how can you complete the mission assigned by the emperor?"

Xue Andu is also a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth. Now that he has just left Chang'an, which is full of shackles, it is the time to let himself go. How can he endure such accusations?

But when he thought of Liu Yizhen's teachings to him, Xue Andu still patiently continued to explain to Xie Hui.

"Thank you, Shizhong. We are going to the East China Sea in the future. Some of the soldiers on this ship are northerners and are not used to water. It would be too late to practice again at sea."

"In addition, now is the time when carps are migrating in the Yellow River. It would be a good idea to let the soldiers go fishing and exercise their water skills."

Xie Hui wanted to shout "Sophistry!"

But Xue An had been with the emperor for such a long time, and Xie Hui knew something about his temperament. Knowing that his docile words were probably of little use to him, he simply stepped onto the deck and glanced at the soldiers on the left and right with sharp eyes, and the soldiers also

They all tried their best to avoid Xie Hui's sight.

"Thank you, Sir, for not looking at them."

Xue An even saw Xie Hui bypassing him and actually taking the initiative to carry the pot on his body.

"If you want to punish me, just punish me."

Seeing Xue An acting like this, Xie Hui felt even more irritated.

But when he raised his head and looked around this time, he actually found that the soldiers on the ship were looking at him with incomprehensible eyes.

There was confusion in those eyes, but more of it was unity hidden behind it.

"You, come here!"

Xie Hui called Xue Andu aside and came to the side of the ship.

Xue Andu thought Xie Hui would scold him, but unexpectedly Xie Hui just raised his sleeves and wiped his wet face.

"The Gyeonggi area is heavily guarded and has many rules. It is understandable that you lead these soldiers to be a little more indulgent."

Xue Andu's eyes were wide with confusion, obviously he didn't understand what Xie Hui was trying to do.

"I know that you and these soldiers have been in cages for a long time."

"But right now, you represent the face of the imperial court! If the people of Guandong see all the elites of the imperial court like this, how can they still be afraid of the imperial court?"

"Woo~"

Seeing that Xue Andu was speaking vaguely, Xie Hui thought that the other party understood his painstaking efforts.

But Xue Andu, a naughty boy who could be suppressed by Liu Yizhen and the other "Four Tigers", obviously couldn't be so worry-free.

He raised his head and looked at Xie Hui with puzzled eyes.

"I understand everything Shizhong Xie said."

"but……"

"Does Shizhong Xie really think that the people will surrender when they see our army in good order?"

"Also, why does Xie Shizhong want the people to be afraid of my Song army and the Song Dynasty court?"

Xie Hui almost choked to death at Xue Andu's words, and the depression that had accumulated just now seemed to be about to explode at this moment.

"Xie Shizhong has never been in the north."

Xue An pointed to himself, and then to the soldiers who were eavesdropping not far away: "We are the people who have survived under the rule of the barbarians in the north."

"At that time, the Xianbei, Di, Qiang, and Huns soldiers all held sharp swords and rode horses on our farmland, galloping unscrupulously. And these soldiers were the army we feared most at that time."

"But Shizhong Xie asked himself, can such an army really win the hearts and minds of the people?"

"The people should not be afraid of their own army! Similarly, the people should not be afraid of our court! I wonder when Shizhong Xie regarded the people as the army and the enemies of the court!"

Such heart-wrenching accusations made Xie Hui feel at a loss for what to do.

From the time he was born until now, has he ever suffered such injustice?

"General Xue! Who did you learn to talk like this from?"

"Emperor!"

"..."

These two words made Xie Hui swallow all the words that were about to burst out.

He looked at Xue Andu with a suspicious expression: "Emperor?"

"It is the emperor."

"..."

Xie Hui once again felt that strong sense of disconnection from the times, and this time it was particularly strong, and he was almost suffocated by the oppression.

People around the emperor, especially the younger generation, seemed to have gained something new and novel from that emperor.

Although I can feel this change, it is just that.

This kind of tangible and invisible thing makes Xie Hui, who is already very sensitive and curious, very uncomfortable.

The people and the government are not enemies...

Of course they shouldn’t be enemies!

but……

Only then did Xie Hui realize with horror that he had been sitting high up for too long and leaned down to look. The people were just numbers on the account; the soldiers were just chess pieces on the sand table.

"The people and the government should not be enemies..."

Xie Hui murmured to himself and walked towards the deck. As soon as he took a step, he noticed something soft on the soles of his feet.

Looking down, he saw a fat Yellow River carp flapping at Xie Hui's feet.

As expected, the one who slapped Xie Hui just now was this bold Mr. Carp.

Xie Hui picked up the carp and found that it was just as Xue Andu said, it was very strong! If it hadn't been flopping on the deck for a long time and consumed a lot of energy, Xie Hui might not have been able to stop him.

If you look closely, you can see that some of the carp's scales have been scraped off, but this does not prevent it from twisting its big butt and continuing to attack Xie Hui's handsome face.

"This fish is really strong."

"That's right, otherwise how could it jump over that steep dragon gate?"

So, with Xue Andu's pity in his eyes, Xie Hui threw the carp out of the boat.

"If the carp wants to cross the dragon gate, it is going against nature. Why should we let it meet disaster here?"

Xie Hui clapped his hands, and the cold, greasy feel made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But carps are born that way. How can Xie Hui blame the carps for being too strong?

"The Emperor asked me to go to the East China Sea to relax... Looking at it this way, it's more than that."

After saying that, Xie Hui left Xue Andu with a cold back.

"Remember to keep your voice down."

"ha?"

"Bang!"

Looking at the closed hatch, Xue Andu understood what Xie Hui meant.

"Light the fire! This general will make you a charcoal-grilled Yellow River carp!"

"Here!"
