Chapter 571: Jiangnan
Yuan Tiangang found that chatting with Li Hao this time was a wrong choice, because this guy was very jealous and said that the moonlight was good, just to end the topic, but Li Hao seemed to have no feeling at all.
After talking for a while, Yuan Tiangang felt that there was no need to continue talking about this heaven, so he stood up and said, "Forget it, if you don't talk too much, we don't have to waste our saliva, let's disperse."
"Wait a minute!" Li Hao suddenly said loudly, "I don't say anything but a long sentence, but what if I'm speculating?"
"Oh?" Yuan Tiangang asked with sneer, "I have something to talk about with you?"
"Of course there are, for example..." Li Hao smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Kill the Japanese pirates."
Yuan Tiangang immediately sat down cross-legged again when he heard this, and said solemnly: "We can really cooperate in this matter."
Li Hao licked his lips and said, "First of all, you have to tell me how these Japanese pirates came to Zhuhu. It is at least 300 miles away from the coast."
Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly when he heard this: "These Japanese pirates are brave enough to land in secret and want to attack Yangzhou. Fortunately, my husband's people found the traces in advance, so I sent someone to chase them. They fled into Tanghu and robbed six tower boats to escape. Unfortunately, my husband's gunship was hidden in Tanghu. Although there were only ten ships, it was enough for them to bear it. I took a boat to chase the Japanese pirates. These Japanese pirates had great skills in controlling ships. They fled from Tanghu to Zhuhu, and were finally caught up by me..."
When he said this, he suddenly saw Li Hao smirking and frowned: "Boy, you won't attack my husband's ships, right?"
"How could it be!" Li Hao hurriedly opened his eyes wide and said innocently, "I am a very honest person. If you are willing to reveal your secret, you can trust me..."
"I believe you!" Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly, "If I hadn't been to kill the Japanese pirates, I would have been too lazy to tell you this."
"Okay, I really look down on you if I don't get your broken ships." Li Hao suddenly felt that Yuan Tiangang was so pitiful. With such a little ability, he wanted to save the world. I don't know how he was doing it. He has been traveling to this world for so many years, and it has only become like this today.
Li Hao continued: "You killed all those Japanese pirates? But what clues are there?"
Yuan Tiangang said angrily: "I can't understand dog words. If I can ask any clues, I will naturally kill them all."
Li Hao said proudly: "Hehe, I met a Japanese pirate who speaks Chinese. I asked where the Japanese pirate's nest is and was about to go to clear it out. Do you want to join us?"
Yuan Tiangang looked at him suspiciously: "You can't use this to weaken my husband's strength."
"How could it be! I am such an upright person!" Li Hao once again put on an upright face.
"Where is the Japanese pirates' nest?" Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but ask curiously.
“In Zhoushan.”
"Where is Zhoushan?"
Li Hao was a little confused and looked at him suspiciously: "You don't even know Zhoushan?"
Yuan Tiangang looked up at the sky, pretending to admire the dark clouds in the sky, and concealing his embarrassment. Li Hao smacked his lips helplessly and said, "Then you should know Shanghai, right?"
"I know." Yuan Tiangang nodded.
Li Hao said: "Zhoushan is not far from Shanghai. There is a Zhoushan archipelago. In addition to the main island, there are many small islands, many of which are dozens of intricate. The Japanese pirates' nest is there, which should be difficult to find. But it doesn't matter. We caught a small Japanese pirate leader and could let him lead the way. There were more than 10,000 Japanese pirates, and I only brought 5,000 new recruits. How many of you have?"
"One thousand." Yuan Tiangang said, "It is the Black Sword Team trained by me personally, enough to be ten."
When Li Hao heard about the Black Sword Team, he immediately remembered the group of masked black knights who had saved him. These guys were very powerful. The elite army of the Tang Dynasty was probably not as good as them. It was estimated that only Li Hao's special forces and the Black Armored Raiders could compare with them.
Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I can reveal some important information to you. All the Japanese swords used by the Japanese pirates were sold to them."
"What!" Yuan Tiangang suddenly glared and shouted when he heard this, "You actually sold weapons to the Japanese pirates!" He thought of getting up after he said that.
Li Hao hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious. Listen to me, those Japanese swords were sold to them, but I tampered with each Japanese sword. The blades of those Japanese swords, from the handle of the knife, are very crispy and do not affect the usual chopping. However, if you use a sword stick to hit the side attack here, the blade will be broken."
"Take it seriously?" Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Hao suspiciously.
Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "You have killed a lot of Japanese pirates just now, and you must have gotten Japanese swords. You might as well find one or two Japanese swords to try."
Yuan Tiangang then calmed down his anger and said, "It seems that you are not meant to sell swords to Japanese pirates."
"Go award, go for award, hehe..." Li Hao smiled shamelessly.
Li Hao and Yuan Tiangang chatted until late at night, and they each returned to the boat to rest. The next morning, Yuan Tiangang took a thousand men in black and set off for Hangzhou, while Li Hao continued to walk on the water, and his destination was also Hangzhou.
Because the waterway was fast, Li Hao and the others arrived in Hangzhou first. In order to wait for Yuan Tiangang, Li Hao and the others docked in Hangzhou, and all the soldiers were on the boat. He took Situ Feng and Ye Mengqiu to visit the city of Hangzhou. Ye Mengqiu's hometown was in Hangzhou. This time he heard that the hometown was suffering from Japanese disasters, so he specifically asked Li Hao to take him back to see it.
After the two entered Hangzhou City, they saw that although there were no tall and magnificent buildings in the city, there were houses with white walls and black tiles everywhere, surrounded by rivers, and small boats swayed in the rivers, passing through circular arch bridges, exerting the gentle water town style of the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Hao sat in a private room in a restaurant, holding the window frame, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Everyone said that Jiangnan is good, tourists only live in the old Jiangnan. The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is sleeping with rain. People around the valley are like the moon, and the white wrists are condensed in frost and snow. Don't return home before you grow old, you must be heartbroken when you return home."
Although Ye Mengqiu did not understand poetry, the poem Li Hao recited vividly depicts the scenery of Jiangnan. He had to praise him: "Good poetry, no wonder the emperor gave you a crazy poem. It turns out that the prince really knows how to recite poetry."
Situ Feng also nodded and praised: "It is indeed a good poem. This is the first time I have seen my master chanting poetry."
"This is a lyric, this is a lyric, this is a lyric, and I say important things three times." Li Hao returned to the table seriously and sat down.
Ye Mengqiu grinned, feeling embarrassed by his ignorance. It is indeed not his strength to write about his writing, but he praises him without distinguishing his poems, which is indeed a bit ridiculous.
Li Hao took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup and asked, "Ye Mengqiu, you said your hometown is in Hangzhou, can you take us to your house to see it?"
Ye Mengqiu shook his head and said, "Ye has no home."
Li Hao was stunned when he heard this and asked in surprise: "Then do you say that your hometown is in Hangzhou?"
Ye Mengqiu said: "Yes, I have lived in Hangzhou for several years, but I have no fixed place, so Hangzhou is my hometown."
Situ Feng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then where were you before you came to Hangzhou? That should be your hometown."
"On an isolated island." Ye Mengqiu said, "I was born on the island, grew up on the island, and then drifted across the sea and came to Hangzhou."
Li Hao suddenly became interested when he heard this and asked, "That means, did you practice your martial arts on an isolated island?"
"That's right." Ye Mengqiu said, "My father is a master of sword making, and his mother is a master of martial arts. He married his mother at the age of 40. Later, the enemy's family came to him. In order to avoid his enemies, his father took his mother to the isolated island of the East China Sea. He gave birth to me a few years later."
Li Hao exclaimed when he heard this: "You learned your martial arts from your mother, so how powerful your mother is."
Ye Mengqiu shook his head and said, "No, it's not something I learned from my mother. I have loved playing on the beach since I was a child. Sea whales often appear on the beach. Sometimes one or two, and sometimes a group of them appear. These sea whales are very big, and you may not have seen them."
Li Hao smiled and said, "I have seen it, but what does your martial arts have to do with the sea whale?"
Ye Mengqiu said seriously: "Of course it's related. My martial arts are learned from Hai Jing."
"Oh?" Li Hao was shocked when he heard this. He learned martial arts from whales, which was unheard of.
Ye Mengqiu continued: "Sea whales like to scream, and their screams are very strange and interesting. I learned to scream from childhood. Since I was six years old, I have learned to scream from sea whales every day. Gradually, I found that my strength has become very strong. When I was only fourteen years old, I could lift more than four hundred kilograms of rocks. When I was eighteen, I could lift more than eight hundred kilograms of rocks. Later, my mother told me that this is the internal strength that people in the world dream of."
Li Hao was so shocked that he could not help but learn to practice the peerless internal skills when he learned to be a whale. What an amazing adventure, but this adventure is so difficult. If it were ordinary people, who would learn to be a whale scream every day? Learning to be a whale scream may be a strange method of breathing.
At this time, Ye Mengqiu suddenly turned dark and said, "My parents spent too much effort to cast the divine sword, and they were older. After the divine sword was cast, they both passed away. I buried them on an isolated island. Later, I went back to the Tang Dynasty by rafting. The raft broke halfway. I drifted on the sea with the wood in my arms and drifted for a day and a night. I was lucky and had to live in a merchant ship."
After hearing Ye Mengqiu's experience, Li Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Your experience... is really wonderful, it's a bit similar to Zhang Wuji in Jin Yong's book."
Ye Mengqiu asked in a daze: "Who is Jin Yong?"
Situ Feng asked: "Who is Zhang Wuji?"
Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from downstairs: "Subor Li Guocheng, pay homage to King Qiongnan!"
As soon as the sound came out, the entire restaurant became quiet in an instant. The title of King Qiong Nan could cause a sensation in any corner of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone stopped eating and drinking and looked at Li Guocheng sideways.
Li Hao smiled indifferently when he heard the sound and replied loudly: "Shi Li, come up!"
"Yes!" Li Guocheng stepped on the stairs and strode upstairs.
The diners in the building were excited and shouted: "King Nan Qiong, is it really the King of Qiong Nan? King of Qiong Nan is here in Hangzhou..."
Li Guocheng went up the second floor and saw Situ Feng standing at the door of a private room waiting for him. Li Guocheng hurried forward, and the two of them clasped their fists to greet each other. Then Li Guocheng entered the private room and saw Li Hao sitting at the table at a glance.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Li Guocheng was a little excited and bowed and gave a big gift: "Greetings to the prince!"
Li Hao asked in confusion: "Li Mengshi, didn't we make an appointment to meet in Yuezhou? Why did you come here?"
Li Guocheng said: "When his subordinates passed by Hangzhou, they happened to see the prince's banner. When they heard that the prince came to Hangzhou City, they came to find the prince."
"Okay, it's a waste of time." Li Hao smiled and spread his hands, "Li Mengshi, please sit down."
"Thank you, Prince." Li Guocheng sat down as he said.
Li Hao lowered his voice and said, "This operation will mobilize twenty ships, in the name of my private merchant ship. You must not expose your brothers' background."
"I understand." Li Guocheng replied in a low voice, "This time my subordinates brought 400 merchant ship sailors over, but did not bring their troops."
"That's good." Li Hao nodded and said, "Is there any water and food prepared on the boat?"
"When I go back to the prince, I have enough water and food, enough to eat for two or three months."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Today's meal is a reward for Li Mengshi."
As soon as he finished speaking, a waiter's voice came from outside the door: "Customer, your food has arrived."
"Send it in." Li Hao shouted.
