The Little Emperor Tianqi and his entourage arrived nearly half an hour later than expected. By this time, it was already almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yuanqing and Hakka had been drinking on the flower boat. Seeing that the young emperor Tianqi and his entourage had just come over at this time, Hakka pinched Li Yuanqing lightly and whispered regretfully: "It's a pity that so much time was wasted..."

Li Yuanqing chuckled, "Next time, take an evening and calculate all the time. I've been in Beijing these days."

Keshi was stunned and instantly understood what Li Yuanqing meant. Her pretty face was alluring, "You damn ghost, that's a pretty idea."

The little Emperor Tianqi and his party came over, and the flower boat hurriedly moved to the shore.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly saluted Little Emperor Tianqi, Queen Zhang and King Xin.

Keshi smiled and came to the little emperor Tianqi, "Your Majesty, General Li and I have been waiting for you on the lake for a long time. Are you ready?"

The little emperor of Tianqi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Hey, it's my fault. I slept a little longer. Someone, bring my treasure ship."

Soon, there were a dozen little eunuchs nearby, carefully carrying a large object that was probably two or three meters tall on a wooden frame, and carefully arrived at the lake.

Unfortunately, it was covered with red cloth, so the whole picture couldn't be seen clearly.

Empress Zhang wore a pale pink dress today. She was indescribably graceful and luxurious. She seemed even more beautiful than before. However, her expression was quite cold, and she looked at everything around her indifferently.

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian is in excellent spirits.

He had not seen Li Yuanqing for more than a year. When he saw Li Yuanqing, he came up to him with a smile and chatted with Li Yuanqing in a low voice.

He is much more mature than before. Dense fuzz has begun to grow on his mouth, and his Adam's apple has protruded. He has obviously entered puberty.

While Li Yuanqing was laughing with Zhu Youjian about their journey to the north, he looked at the treasure ship of the little emperor Tianqi here.

Soon, after burning incense and offering sacrifices, the little emperor Tianqi said excitedly: "Come here, push the treasure ship into the water."

"yes."

After a while, a dozen young eunuchs removed the red cloth covering the treasure ship and carefully pushed the almost three-meter-long treasure ship into the water.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be a little amazed.

Just looking at the carving craftsmanship of this treasure ship, it is much more exquisite than the previous flower ship of the Hakka family.

Moreover, the treasure ship was in the shape of a Ming Dynasty warship, with an exquisite Ming Dynasty dragon flag hanging on it. In front of the hatch, there were models of more than a dozen artillery pieces, which was really majestic.

The little emperor of Tianqi looked at the people around him proudly, "Everyone, how is my treasure ship doing?"

Keshi smiled quickly and said, "Your Majesty, your craftsmanship is much better than before."

Empress Zhang also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this treasure ship is so beautiful. It is much more beautiful than my concubine's flower ship."

The little emperor of Tianqi couldn't help laughing proudly, "Of course. This treasure ship took me nearly a year. Every pillar was carved by my own hands."

As he said that, he looked at Li Yuanqing and said, "General Li, what do you think of my treasure ship?"

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled respectfully and said: "The emperor's skills are truly ingenious. If this treasure ship can become a reality, why should I, the Ming Dynasty, be afraid of Hou Jin's mere cavalry?"

Li Yuanqing, this is really not a compliment.

If we simply talk about carpentry work, it can be said that the young emperor Tianqi has extremely high attainments in this aspect. Compared with the carving masters of later generations, he may not have much to offer.

It's a pity that his thoughts were not used in the right place, otherwise...

Hearing Li Yuanqing's praise, the young emperor of Tianqi couldn't help laughing, "Come here and test the waters."

The little eunuchs below were already ready, hurriedly untied the cables, and carefully pushed the treasure ship into the water.

The treasure ship seemed to still have power, and the oars underneath quickly began to slide, pushing the hull deeper into the lake.

Everyone around was amazed and full of admiration.

Li Yuanqing was also a little stunned. He really didn't expect that the little emperor of Tianqi had such ability. After a moment, he discovered that the oar was connected to the shore by a thin line, and several young eunuchs were working hard to control it.

The treasure boat rowed twice in the lake before returning to the shore. The water test was a complete success.

The little emperor Tianqi was very happy, and everyone came to the pavilion to rest.

Eating the freshest fruits and melons and drinking herbal tea, everyone was in a good mood.

However, through this test of the water, the little emperor Tianqi discovered that his treasure ship still had several imperfections and was not perfect enough. He was looking at the lake and thinking hard.

Empress Zhang has been staying with the little emperor Tianqi. Li Yuanqing wanted to have a word with her, but he had no chance.

However, Hakka occasionally smiled and handed Li Yuanqing some fruits, grapes and the like.

Fortunately, there is Zhu Youjian, who has been chatting with Li Yuanqing here, which makes Li Yuanqing not embarrassed and lonely.

Looking at Zhu Youjian's excited and energetic young face, Li Yuanqing suddenly felt something in his heart.

When it comes to Wang Yuan, why should we sacrifice the near and seek the distant?

Isn’t the Zhu Youjian in front of me the best partner?

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing hurriedly explained the affairs of the manor to Zhu You.

Zhu Youjian was happy and angry when he heard this, but more importantly, he was excited.

He could hardly suppress his excitement and hurriedly whispered to Li Yuanqing: "General Li, what are you going to do about this matter?"

Li Yuanqing said in a low voice: "Your Highness, King Xin, as the saying goes, to catch a thief is to catch the stolen goods. Although Beizhi captured one of Wang Yuan's men, he is just an insignificant person. If there is a confrontation, he will not admit it. Beizhi, this

There is no good way around. So I thought I would find an opportunity to wipe out his Kong family village! When the time comes, both the people and the stolen goods will be taken away, let’s see what else he can do to refute.”

Zhu Youjian had already clenched his fist tightly and hurriedly whispered: "General Li, how many people are there over there? How many people do you have in your hands now?"

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Reply to His Highness the King. I currently have 00 soldiers in my hands. The opponent has about six to seven hundred people, and there may be more. The specific situation will not be known until we return to the military camp and get specific information.

"

But Zhu Youjian was not surprised but overjoyed when he heard this, "Hey hey hey... 00 versus 6,700, this is interesting! General Li, you are a famous general in the world! Gu definitely believes in your ability. Here, there are more than 00 personal guards

.Together we have more than 400 people, which is totally true! General Li, when are you going to take action on this matter?"

Li Yuanqing laughed in a low voice and said: "Your Highness, the King of Letters. It can be done without further delay. Wang Yuan came to see Beizhi today, but Beizhi rejected his request for reconciliation. In order to prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Beizhi wants to take action tonight."

"Tonight!"

Zhu Youjian was even more delighted, "That's great! General Li, this matter is of great importance. We must go back and plan as soon as possible. Just wait, I will plead guilty to the emperor's brother and we will leave immediately!"

Zhu Youjian said and hurried to talk to the little emperor Tianqi.

Not long after, he pulled Li Yuanqing and wanted to leave the palace in a hurry.

The little emperor of Tianqi just thought that Zhu Youjian had not grown up yet and wanted to pester Li Yuanqing to talk about the war in the North. He did not pay much attention. His mind was silent on how to improve his treasure ship.

…………

Li Yuanqing and Xinwang Zhu Youjian quickly left the palace.

Zhu Youjian directly ordered Wang Chengen to go to his mansion to gather troops and horses, and he wanted to follow Li Yuanqing and rush to the military camp outside Guangqumen first.

Seeing that Wang Chengen was about to leave in a hurry, Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "My lord, wait a moment."

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing hurriedly explained to Zhu Youjian and Wang Chengen in a low voice: "Your Highness King Xin, Eunuch Wang, in this battle we must catch the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared. Therefore, we must pay attention to concealment. Eunuch Wang, after you return, you can order

The guards of the palace put on their civilian clothes, divided into several teams, and rushed to the military camp outside Guangqumen to join us before dark. It is best not to let others notice. "

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but be overjoyed, "General Li is indeed a battle-hardened general. I almost forgot about this. My companion, this matter will be handled as General Li said. Be sure to keep it confidential."

Wang Chengen nodded quickly, "Your Highness, General Li, you two can rest assured. I will definitely handle the matter properly."

Seeing Wang Chengen leaving in a hurry, Zhu Youjian became even more excited, gearing up and saying, "General Li, let's go to the military camp now."

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Xin, your status is extraordinary. We'd better change our clothes before going to the military camp."

Zhu Youjian also reacted and laughed hurriedly, "Hey! General Li, look at Gu's temper. He almost forgot this most important thing. Let's go change clothes now!"

Looking at the anxious Zhu Youjian, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly took him back to Sanfu Inn, changed into ordinary nobleman's brocade robes, and the group went straight to the military camp outside Guangqumen.

The two arrived at the military camp at about 5 o'clock. Fan Yongdou had already gone back to rest, and the two went directly to Li Yuanqing's tent.

The soldiers had already drawn the map of Kongjiazhuangzi.

Li Yuanqing placed the map on the table, examined it carefully, and began to explain it to Zhu Youjian.

"Your Highness King Xin, you see, the location of the Confucius Village is quite exquisite. There is a small river to the east and lakes to the north and south. If you want to enter, you can only enter from the front of the north gate. Unfortunately, the surrounding terrain is too flat.

Although there is a dense forest to the east, it may be difficult to hide the traces. We think we can only wait until later."

Zhu Youjian hurriedly said: "General Li, it's better to do it later. It's a dark and windy night, when people are killing people and setting fires. They would never have thought that we would attack them tonight, and there must not be much defense. It's just that there are few of us.

, the opponent also has the advantage of the city, how should we start?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "This is not difficult. To kill a snake, you need to hit it seven inches. I am very confident that I can directly break through the north gate of the village in the shortest time, allowing our army to take advantage of it..."

…………

The time soon came to around nine o'clock.

Zhu Youjian's palace guards have all changed their costumes, are fully armed, and are already in place.

Li Yuanqing's soldiers were also ready. The group simply packed up and headed straight to the Kongjiazhuangzi, more than 30 miles east of the capital city.

However, there were a lot of goods in the camp, so Li Yuanqing left 0 soldiers to assist in the defense.

As a result, the actual strength of the two men was less than 400.

The official road outside the capital was very spacious, and Wang Chengen also borrowed more than 400 horses for the large group of troops through his channels.

The group of people galloped on horseback, and in less than half an hour, they had arrived thirty miles away from the official road.

At this time, Li Yuanqing waved his hand for the team to stop and hid in the woods to rest for a while.

Zhu Youjian hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said anxiously: "General Li, why did you stop here? The Confucius Village is still five or six miles ahead."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Your Highness King Xin, if we go directly as cavalry, we will definitely be noticed by them. Leave ten brothers to watch the horses. Let's go there on foot!"
