On the river, an inconspicuous fishing boat was parked along with the waves. Someone wearing a raincoat was sitting on the bow of the boat, lifting a rod and fishing.
Behind him, a muscular man in short brown clothes slowly wiped his hookah with his head lowered, looking up from time to time.
"It's already this time... Sir, do you think a child of the Li family would really do this?"
The place where they stopped was not far from Wangjiang Tower, and you could even hear the sound of silk and bamboo music inside. However, there were officers and soldiers on the shore, and people were watching them whenever they raised their hands.
The man in the raincoat laughed: "What time is it? Don't worry."
"I'm not in a hurry," the man said, "I just think it's too unreal. In the past few years, we have spent so much effort but have not been able to take a step into the Dongjiang River. Now Yang Gu is still setting up defenses in the camp along the river, claiming that he can't even
Even flies can't fly in, but we are allowed to take advantage of the loophole and have the opportunity to capture the thief and capture the king first... Isn't it too easy? Could it be that this is to lure the enemy deeper and deliberately deceive us? "
In the cabin, the young man who was hiding and counting the swords interrupted: "Tian Datou, when there was no news, you thought he was incompetent. Now that there is news, you suspect it is false. Why, this is what the Osprey Department looks like to you.
Useless?"
"Go, you're the one who called Tian Datou? Big or small!" Jingzhuang Khan rolled his eyes at him, lit up the fire and smoked a hookah, purred a few times, took a sip happily, and then said, "It's not that I don't believe them,
The opportunity is really too rare. If he succeeds today, Yang Gu will be dead. Even if the Osprey Department is well-covered, Li's child dares to use it even on people of unknown origin. Isn't it too stupid? He dares to do such a thing
,How can you be a fool?"
"Power, wealth, and charming eyes." The man in the raincoat held the fishing rod steadily, "Second Young Master Li is not stupid, but he is too greedy, and his eyes are blinded. If he is as smart as you said, he will never be a fool in this life.
Go to the King of Dongjiang. But it’s different now. As long as he leads us, even if there are hidden dangers, he can still become the Lord of Dongjiang. So, how can he be stupid?"
The young man in the cabin answered: "That's right. For him, no matter how stable Jiangdu is, it would be useless for him not to become the King of Dongjiang. But it's just a matter of interests. When he becomes the King of Dongjiang, will Dongjiang be safe for him?
It makes sense to say it.”
The man in the coir raincoat nodded and smiled: "Exactly. So, regardless of the hostility between the two sides, maybe sometimes the interests are consistent."
Exaggerated, the young man winked at the man proudly.
The man rolled his eyes at him and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a change on the shore.
The officers and soldiers seemed to have received the order, and most of the warships boarded the river and sailed away, leaving only a small number parked in place.
"My lord, my lord! There is really something going on!" The man was so excited that he wanted to grab his raincoat.
The man in coir raincoat smiled: "I know, just wait."
After a while, the warship moved away, and the scattered fishing boats around slowly came closer. When someone waved from the shore, they all sailed over.
The man in coir raincoat put away his fishing rod: "Let's go!"
"Okay!" The man put down his hookah, quickly grabbed the oar, followed other fishing boats, slowly paddled into the diversion channel, and finally stopped at an inconspicuous pier.
The sound of silk and bamboo became clearer. The Wangjiang Tower with a distant view of the river was right in front of them. They even heard the laughter of the young ladies.
The man in the coir raincoat took off his coir raincoat, revealing his true appearance. He looked to be less than thirty, with a gentle face, and was wearing the clothes of an ordinary boatman. His back was hunched over, and he was inconspicuous among these "fishermen".
But young people and men crowded on both sides intentionally or unintentionally, as if to protect him.
On the pier, a young man stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at them sharply. Not far away, the guards were grabbing a man dressed similar to him. He tried hard to get free, but was gagged and tightly controlled.
His eyes were blazing as he stared in this direction and wanted to say something, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.
"Second Young Master." A middle-aged man stepped forward and offered his hand to Li Da.
If Xu Yin and Yan Ling were here, they would recognize him as the shopkeeper of that teahouse.
"These are your people?" Li Da's tone was not satisfactory, "Is this okay?"
The shopkeeper chuckled and said: "These people are carefully selected for you. A truly powerful killer must be inconspicuous. Otherwise, if someone recognizes you in person, you will not be able to do the job well."
Li Da thought it was right, so he took out a simple map from his sleeve: "Kill the person on the spot, and then retreat in time, don't delay. By the way, have you brought the things I asked you to bring?"
"Bring it with you." At the innkeeper's signal, the "fishermen" took out tokens with the word "北" engraved on them, which belonged to Jiangbei's Jiang Yi army.
Li Da nodded: "Just throw two away, don't be too deliberate."
"Yes. We will do the work, don't worry."
Li Da finally gave way: "Go ahead."
"Yes." The "fishermen" quietly entered the garden through the back door, and then Li Da ordered the guards to knock down the officers and soldiers who were supposed to be stationed here, making it look like they were being invaded.
After he had made all arrangements, he asked the guards to escort Li Guan and follow him into Wangjiang Tower.
The Wangjiang Tower is seven stories high and is a place to overlook the river.
The banquet is not over yet, the place is quiet and there are no guests.
Li Da went smoothly and took Li Guan to the top floor.
"Uh-huh!" Taking advantage of the guard's unpreparedness, Li Guan broke free from the gag and shouted, "Second brother, are you crazy? What are you going to do!"
Li Da stood on the high platform, looked down at the unaware dignitaries below, turned around and said with a smile: "Didn't my third brother guess it? Stop shouting, they won't hear you even if you shout."
Li Guan did not believe in evil and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
However, they were on the top floor and the music was so loud below that no one noticed at all.
Li Guan screamed for a while, but there was no movement at all, and he couldn't help but despair.
"Second brother!" He looked at his elder brother and tried to persuade him feebly, "You can't do this! How could you harm the eldest brother? The eldest brother has never been sorry to you."
Li Da looked at him coldly: "Didn't I feel sorry for me? Yes! He didn't feel sorry for me. However, they are all descendants of the Li family. Why is he the heir apparent and I am nothing?"
Li Guan shouted: "Because the eldest brother is the eldest! There are so many of us brothers, and someone must be the heir apparent. Since the eldest brother is the eldest brother and more capable than us, why can't he be the heir apparent?"
Li Da glanced at him with a look of disdain: "What kind of ability is this? Isn't it just that others support him? If he is really so capable, can I do such a thing today?"
Li Guan opened his mouth and became speechless.
"Third brother, for the sake of our blood relationship, I will not kill you today. He is your brother, and I am also your brother. Which one of us is the heir, will it not be the same to you?"
