scare!
Li Qingcha's hair stood on end, and he glanced at his chest subconsciously.
After making sure there was no problem, he turned around.
I saw Xiang Nanyu sitting at the table, with his upper body leaning forward on the table, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
_(:з ∠)_
Looks like a sloth.
Li Qingcha: ???
"What's wrong with you?"
"Brother, you slept so soundly... You didn't know that a battle report came from the Imperial Envoy's Office in the middle of the night, saying that the Bozhou navy won a great victory and captured a smuggling ship, although the smuggling ship was almost blown up."
"You haven't slept since then?"
"Ah."
"Poor little pumpkin~"
Li Qingcha pinched Xiang Nanyu's little nose.
The girl blushed but did not dodge, she even leaned forward with an expression of great enjoyment.
She said, "Brother, according to you, after this battle, things will be settled?"
Li Qingcha nodded.
"I still say that what you can't get on the battlefield, you will never get at the negotiation table, but since the king and his subjects have been decided on the battlefield, the rest will follow naturally."
"Well……"
"Where's Lianxue?"
"She sent Minami-de Ryuto to the Imperial Envoy's Office, and when she was waiting for Gu She to deliver the tribute treaty, she could let Gu She see how we treated the prisoners well."
This girl really dares to say,
Be nice?
Live in a stable?
Li Qingcha stretched, ate a casual breakfast with Xiang Nanyu, and headed to the imperial envoy's office together.
Luo Weiyang, Gong Lianxue, Ao Jingshan, and Mu Shi are all here.
Even the Seventh Prince got up.
In the past, the Seventh Prince would still be fast asleep at this early hour.
But today he was sitting on the armchair in neat clothes. Although he had dark circles under his eyes, he was in high spirits.
Several generals of the Bozhou navy surrounded him, vying to flatter him.
"Your Highness is truly an expert at predicting the enemy's fate. He even predicted that Gu She would send out troops."
"After several years, we finally captured another smuggling ship."
"Your Highness is wise and powerful!"
……
There are many holes, but flattery never gets worn out.
The smile on the Seventh Prince’s face grew wider.
At this time, he saw Li Qingcha coming in, and immediately sat up straight and waved to the generals.
"I am just repeating what others have said."
The generals were puzzled.
They had heard of the Seventh Prince's bad reputation as a "fool", but seeing is believing. Maybe the bad reputation was just self-degradation by the Seventh Prince?
After all, there is a fight for the throne. If one has no interest in that supreme throne, damaging one's own reputation is a good way to avoid trouble.
Someone said: "Your Highness is really modest."
Another person immediately agreed, "Yes, no matter what, it must be your Highness's doing to foresee that Ding Gushe would send troops and have us place spies around Golden Eagle Island."
finished,
stare--
The generals stared at the Seventh Prince with burning eyes as if they were looking at a beautiful woman.
The Seventh Prince knew that if he continued to talk, he would be exposed, so he said honestly: "It is true that I am just repeating what others have said. It is Mr. Li, the coach of the Young Phoenix Camp, who predicted that Gu She would send troops."
He pointed at Li Qingcha who was not far away.
The generals followed his finger and saw
Li Qingcha bowed,
"The experience you generals have accumulated in the battlefield is far superior to my unorthodox methods. You are the real heroes."
That's a good point.
The generals all thought that Li Qingcha was capable.
Therefore, they stopped trying to flatter him and humbly asked, "I guess it was your idea to place the explosive barrels in the water, too?"
Li Qingcha nodded.
"correct."
"How did you come up with that?"
"This... Actually, my original idea was not to float the barrel of explosives on the water, but to sink it in the water, fix it with an anchor, and tie it to a bamboo raft with ropes. As long as it hits the enemy ship, it will cause casualties."
Simply put, it is a mine.
But this thing had never appeared before, and the generals all found it novel. After discussing it in low voices for a while, they found that it was not just a fantasy, but could be realized.
For a while, they surrounded Li Qingcha and discussed enthusiastically.
The seventh prince was completely ignored.
Fortunately, this suspended state did not last long.
Suddenly, a soldier from the Beijing camp rushed in, knelt on one knee, and clasped his fists to the Seventh Prince.
"Your Highness, Mr. Qu Yi has returned, and brought a few Yingsang people with him, and..."
He frowned, as if trying to find the right words.
The Seventh Prince was a little surprised.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."
"Your Highness, those Yingsang people are very strange. It feels like... um... they are asking for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on their backs."
"hiss……"
The Seventh Prince took a deep breath and looked at Li Qingcha.
She was right again?
Li Qingcha had predicted before that if the military adventure of Gu She's smuggling group failed to succeed, there would be a drama.
In this play, Gu Shehui will be tied up by his men and taken to the imperial envoy's headquarters.
tsk...
The Seventh Prince was secretly astonished, thinking that Li Qingcha was too accurate.
He raised his hand,
"Let those Yingsang people in."
"promise!"
The soldiers rushed out.
Not long after, Gu She was brought into the room by a few wanderers.
The wanderers looked around and saw the seventh prince in bright yellow clothes sitting on the chair. They guessed that he should be a member of the royal family, so they kicked Gu She's knee.
thump--
Gu She knelt down in front of the seventh prince.
"Gu..."
The Seventh Prince swallowed his saliva.
Although I was prepared, I was still a little scared when I saw such a group of vicious bandits.
He moved his butt back calmly.
The ronin took a step forward, their legs touching the ground, their hips resting on their ankles, their upper bodies straight, their hands placed neatly on their knees.
after that,
thump—
They kowtowed violently.
"Sensational Mud Private Marseille!"
The Seventh Prince was bewildered.
Daxia has a kneeling ceremony, so it is normal for people from small foreign countries to kneel down to him as a member of the royal family.
But why do the Yingsang people kneel in such a strange posture?
He looked around and lowered his voice.
"What's going on with these Yingsang people? What's the fuss... Oh my... Their words are so hard to understand, with all the 'mud' and 'horse', it sounds weird to me."
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
She discovered that the Seventh Prince was gifted and could actually extract the "mud" and "horse" from the "Sensational Mud Private Horse Race".
This train of thought is indeed unusual.
Li Qingcha also lowered his voice.
"Your Highness, in Yingsang language, what you just said means an apology."
The Seventh Prince was surprised.
"You even understand Yingsang language?"
"Ah... I can only say that I know a little bit, and I only know about entry-level ones like 'Yametie' and 'Tatakai'."
"Amazing."
Li Qingcha: “…”
I don't want to reveal where I learned these words.
She looked at those Yingsang wanderers.
At the same time, the wanderers seemed to think that they had enough time to apologize and stood up.
Clang——
The leader drew his samurai sword.
The guards reacted very quickly, standing in front of the Seventh Prince, with swords, shields, short guns, and plum blossom crossbows.
"You, put down your weapons immediately!"
Chapter 246 Do I have the right to refuse?
The room was tense.
Suddenly, the Seventh Prince raised his hand and shook his head at the guards.
"Return to your positions!"
The guards didn't listen.
