Chapter 127 Beauty under the Moon
Shan Xiongxin met Zhang Zhen'e while fleeing.

With spears and lances in hand, Shan Xiongxin, a fierce general of the Wagang Army, was unable to resist the little-known Zhang Zhen'e.

With just one move, Zhang Zhen'e's spear almost knocked the halberd in Shan Xiongxin's hand away. The second time Zhang Zhen'e swept his spear, it made Shan Xiongxin's arms numb, and he fought with all his remaining strength.

If it weren't for the death-defying protection of his personal guards, this brave Wagang general would have been captured alive by Zhang Zhen'e.

Even though Shan Xiongxin was dragged away, his banner was still taken away.

There were nearly 30,000 Wagang troops, but less than 10,000 escaped to the east bank of the canal. Ten thousand died in battle, were trampled to death, or drowned in the canal. Thousands more fled to the west bank, and about 3,000 were captured.

For the Yan army, it was a great victory that made all the officials in the court celebrate.

It was not until long after dark that the fleet arrived at the canal outside Suiyang City. By then, the pontoon bridge had been burned down by the Wagang Army themselves, and the canal was unobstructed.

A great victory was achieved on the Lantern Festival, which is undoubtedly cause for celebration.

The governor and the county magistrate of Liang County in Suiyang City also took out fine wine and delicious food to reward the friendly troops.

After drinking three rounds of wine on the city wall with the prefect Wang Wenyang, the county magistrate Duan Chenghui, and the Pei father and son and other meritorious soldiers, Li Yuanhui returned to his ship, the Wuya, to rest on the pretext of feeling unwell.

The main reason was that he was a little worried, fearing that the Wagang Army would come back at night to launch a night attack. After all, there were many soldiers and staff members' families living on the ship. A safe bet is a safe bet.

Sui Yang is still in the war zone right now, so we can't be too careless.

Back on the top deck of his ship, a group of girls gathered in his most spacious and comfortable cabin, toasting each other and chatting happily.

It turned out that Tan'er thought that Li Yuanhui was attending a banquet in the city and would not return to the ship at night, so she wanted to take over his nest and have a Lantern Festival banquet with the maids in Li Yuanhui's large enough cabin.

Li Yuanhui saw the group of girls inside, all of them were smiling happily, as they seemed particularly relaxed without their master, so he decided not to go in and disturb them.

It's hard to have a holiday, so let them have fun without any restraint.

The maids on the boat were the ones Zhao Er sent him. Tan Er came to Luoyang with Murong Jiayin.

Li Yuanhui was going to Jianghuai by himself this time, not to join the army but to stay in the local area. Naturally, the rear house needed someone to take care of it. Murong Jiayin couldn't leave herself, so she asked Tan'er to take these maids and go south with them.

After all, Murong Jiayin also understood that there were some things that could not be prevented. It was better to be generous and optimistic.

However, since they were on the boat all the way, Li Si had no time to eat the grass around him, so he planned to wait until he settled down in Jianghuai before doing anything else.

After thinking about it, I went up to the top deck of the ship since I had nowhere to go.

At this moment, all the warships were moored on the west bank of the canal. The Lantern Festival moon was like a white jade plate, shining on the river, and complementing the lights of Sui Yang City in the distance.

The lights in the city are bustling, but the moonlight here is extremely cold.

It's just like the beautiful woman dancing with a sword on the next boat a few feet away. She is dressed in white and looks like an immortal. The light of her sword is chilling under the moonlight.

This can't help but remind Li Yuanhui of that song.
"Once upon a time there was a beautiful lady named Gongsun, whose sword dance moved all four directions."

It's a feast for the eyes. It's just a feast for the eyes.

Pei Yu, who was dancing with the sword, had no idea that his heroic figure dancing with the sword under the moonlight was seen clearly by the peeping person on the boat.

Li Yuanhui also adhered to the principle of being polite when peeking and not disturbing the other person, and admired the beauty's figure.

Until Pei Yu put away his sword, Li Yuanhui clapped his hands and said, "Excellent swordsmanship."

As soon as Pei Yu heard the voice, he knew who the man standing on the opposite boat under the moonlight was.

"Shouldn't you be attending the banquet in Suiyang City?"

Li Yuanhui said, "I came out after drinking a few glasses of wine. If I hadn't come out earlier, I wouldn't have been able to see Miss Pei Wu's superb swordsmanship and her dashing and heroic demeanor."

"Humph, you can actually talk about peeking so confidently, you are really shameless." Although Pei Yu felt a little proud of being praised by the other party, it was obvious that he still held a grudge.

Li Yuanhui laughed and said, "Madam Pei Wu, is your sword dancing something shameful? Why should I peek? Can't I watch it openly?" "Forget it. I won't bother with a shameless and sharp-tongued person like you." Pei Yu sheathed the sword. She found that she had never won an argument with the other party.

Li Yuanhui was not angry when he heard the other party slandering him. What was there to care about with a little girl?

Who would have thought that Pei Yu would then unexpectedly jump from the opposite ship to Li Yuanhui's ship. Although the two five-tooth ships were parked side by side at the ferry, they were still about ten feet apart. Pei Yu actually jumped over? Are you kidding?

Li Yuanhui stood on the top floor and said speechlessly, "Is he angry and going to chop me with a sword?"

No way?
Pei Yu was tactful enough to hand the sword to Han Quan who was blocking the stairs before going up to the top floor. Only after she took the sword did Han Quan let her go up.

Li Yuanhui thought that the other party came here to quarrel with him, and was thinking about how to deal with it, but Pei Yu's words dispelled his doubts.

"I have something to ask you."

"Hmm? What's the matter? Tell me."

"King Liang, is there still a chance?"

"what?"

Li Yuanhui was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask this question.

Pei Yu explained: "King Liang sent people to see my father several times recently. I don't know what he is planning. I am very worried."

Li Yuanhui was not surprised when he heard the news. The King of Liang was flexible and would try his best to win over the Pei family of Wenxi even if the marriage alliance with them failed.

However, in this situation, he still frequently contacts Pei father and son, which means that this kid has not given up yet.

"You mean the position of the crown prince? What chance does he have? Unless..."

Li Yuanhui then brought himself into the Liang Wang Murongzhan. If he were the other party, what would he do? When he went to Bingzhou, of course he wanted to use the relationship of the Yuwen family to win over the governor of Bingzhou, Yuwen She, and then make friends with the Tuoba family, marry a Tuoba woman as his principal wife, in exchange for the support of the Daijun Tuoba Xianbei. Also, that position should be good friends with the Turks. Li Si remembered that originally during this period of history, there were not just one or two warlords in the north who were vassals of the Turks in order to dominate the world, and even Li Tang
Thinking of this, Li Yuanhui almost cursed "Fuck Cao".

Because he had been ignoring these things and only focused on Luoyang and Chang'an. Liang Wang Murongzhan would be sent to Bingzhou as governor in the next year.

This is the governor of Bingzhou. Bingzhou should have been the birthplace of the Li family, but now it is in the hands of this grandson.

Li Yuanhui changed the subject and asked, "Are you worried that if Prince Liang seizes the throne, he will use the past to threaten your Pei family, or are you worried about your own situation?"

Pei Yu frowned: "Both. Aren't you worried?"

Li Yuanhui smiled and said, "Why should I worry? The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."

Pei Yu was shocked when he heard this, "You...you want..."

"What do I want? I was just joking. He is in Luoyang and I am far away in Jianghuai. There is nothing to worry about. I want to tell you something. Don't spread it to anyone else. Just remember it in your heart." After saying this, Li Yuanhui took a few steps forward and lowered his head slightly and whispered in Pei Yu's ear.

Pei Yu was startled and took a step back. He found that Li Yuanhui's eyes were clear and he did not do anything wrong, so he leaned over to listen.

"The Saint is seriously ill, and Murong Zan will be sent out soon. He has no time to fight for the position of Crown Prince."

Pei Yu was not too surprised after hearing this, but said seriously: "So this is true? The saint really wants..."

Li Yuanhui nodded seriously. In fact, what he said to Pei Yu was no longer a secret in Luoyang.

Pei Yu also knew it.

However, Li Si's mysterious attitude made her more convinced.

But in fact, Li Si did not reveal any useful information to her.
This is what Pei Yu figured out after returning to his boat.

However, Li Si stood on the deck and thought for a long time before deciding that he should remind his brother in Luoyang about this matter.

Be prepared early.
