Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Fourth, wind and thunder anger. Fish and dragons miserable 4

August 13th, Xu time.

In the emperor's tent outside Xuancheng, Dong Shixiu was listening to Xu Shi's report while thinking that Fenghuang'er had been chasing the Northern King for a few days, and he received a letter from Du Kang saying that he had gone out to sea. I don't know if I caught up with it. Just as he was considering whether to send someone to meet him, Long Tu suddenly rushed in: "Your Majesty, General Feng's subordinates are back!"

Dong Shixiu, who was leaning on the back of the chair, sat up straight immediately, "Biography!" At the same time, he frowned, General Feng's subordinates came back? Didn't Phoenix come back?

The tent door was lifted, and a person hurried in.

Dong Shixiu's expression changed as soon as his eyes swept away. He recognized this man, he was Captain Liu under Fenghuang'er's command, whom she valued a lot, but at this moment, his armor was stained with dried blood, he was holding a helmet in his hand, his temples were disheveled, his complexion was as pale as paper, and he was in a state of embarrassment. .

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Liu Duwei knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Dong Shixiu frowned unconsciously, "Where's General Feng?"

"I came here to plead guilty to His Majesty, but I failed to bring the general back safely." Lieutenant Liu put down his helmet and prostrated himself on the ground.

Hearing this sentence, Dong Shixiu was startled, and secretly clenched his fists, "What's going on?" Could it be that Fenghuang'er lost the battle? This is impossible!

"The minister and the general pursued the King of the North Sea all the way to the North Sea. When the wind was raging, the general sank the ship of King of the North Sea, but when the ship sank, the mast hit our ship. The general accidentally injured and fell into the sea to save the ship. General, but...but..." Thinking of the situation in the sea, Liu Duwei suddenly regretted and choked up with sobs.

"But what?" Dong Shixiu stood up abruptly.

Just one sentence, but as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top, Xu Shi and Liu Duwei, who was lying on the ground, felt as if they were carrying a thousand catties and couldn't move.

"But the waves are too big, the boat can't get over it no matter what, I'm so anxious... so anxious..." Liu Duwei trembled, as if he had returned to the moment when he was helpless.

"I don't care what you are in a hurry for! Tell me, what happened next?!" Dong Shixiu shouted violently.

Lieutenant Liu Du was so frightened by the loud shout, he hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the sea **** came down at that time and rescued the general."

Suddenly, the hearts that had been hung high in the tent were gently put back to their original places.

Dong Shixiu loosened his clenched fists in his sleeves, Long Tu wiped the fine cold sweat from his forehead, and Xu Shi unconsciously let go of his grip on his front.

Lieutenant Liu raised his head slightly, seeing that His Majesty's expression was slightly relaxed, he said cautiously: "I saw that the general was rescued, and the storm was coming, so I had to order all the soldiers to go back to the shore first."

Hearing this, Dong Shixiu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, turned cold, "You just left Fenghuang'er behind?!"

The voice was as cold as frost, carrying a bone-piercing chill, which made the hearts of the three in the tent tremble.

Hearing the reprimand, Liu Duwei was deeply regretful, "I failed to bring back the general, I am guilty!"

"Bang!" Dong Shixiu slapped his palm on the palm, and the book case was cut off, and the things on the case fell to the ground. Such as being forced out from between the teeth, with the power of thunder in the sky, he was furious, "You just rolled back like this?!"

"Minister..." Captain Liu trembled in fright, "After returning to the shore, I wanted to look for the ship, but Guard Du said that he would lead someone to look for it, and asked me to report back to His Majesty first. "

"Why is Du Kang on the shore?" Dong Shixiu shouted again. With Du Kang's skills, if he was with Fenghuang'er, Xu rescued her.

"That...that's the general's order." Liu Duwei replied tremblingly.

"Bastard!" Dong Shixiu raised his foot and kicked up half of the book case, and threw it straight at Liu Duwei.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Long Tu hurriedly flew to intercept the book case.

"Bold!" Dong Shixiu glared at Long Tu with red eyes.

"This subordinate is convicted." Long Tu knelt and bowed his head.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Xu Shi also knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Damn this guy! How dare he drop my Phoenix! He should die!" Dong Shixiu glared at Liu Duwei on the ground like an enemy.

"The minister deserves to be punished for his crimes! The minister is willing to apologise with death!" Lieutenant Liu Du kowtowed to the ground.

"Okay! You are guilty! I just..."

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Captain Liu was about to be beheaded in the next moment, Xu Shi hurriedly interrupted Dong Shixiu, "Your Majesty, Captain Liu is innocent! Your Majesty, please investigate!"

"What did you say?!" Dong Shixiu stared at Gu Yunyuan, his chest heaving rapidly, obviously furious.

But Xu Shi still said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the situation was critical at that time. Lieutenant Liu Du's move was to save hundreds of soldiers on the fishing boat. He has made meritorious deeds and is not guilty!"

"Bold Xu Shi!" Dong Shixiu's voice was as cold as ice, "Do you think I won't kill you?"

"Your Majesty wants to kill the minister, so please let the minister finish his sentence." Xu Shi raised his head and looked directly at the emperor of the Eastern Dynasty.

"Okay! Tell me, I want to see what you can spit out from your mouth!" Dong Shixiu's sharp gaze fell on Xu Shi's face like a snow knife.

"Your Majesty, since General Feng has been rescued, his life is safe. You only need to look for him and you will be welcomed back, or the general will meet with His Majesty after he returns to shore. Your Majesty does not need to be angry or sad." Xu Shi straightened his back. Straightforwardly, "It is wisdom for Liu Duwei to make a decisive decision; it is courageous to dare to admit his crime at this time. Such a wise and brave person should not be punished by His Majesty, but should be rewarded!"

"You!" Dong Shixiu was too angry to speak.

"Your Majesty." Xu Shi said loudly again, "The wrath of the Son of Heaven will lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles. As a king, you should have a benevolent heart, so as to benefit the world, and you must not be swayed by resentment and anger." .”

"How dare you speak out to reprimand me!" At this moment, Dong Shixiu had the heart to behead him a hundred times.

"This is not the words of the minister, but the words of Mr. Yu, and it is known all over the world." Xu Shi kowtowed to the ground.

In an instant, there was silence in the tent.

It was as if there was sweet rain pouring down the fire, and a cool breeze blowing over the Yanyuan. It seemed as if the heavy cold air was blown away by invisible hands, and the sea was bright and the sky was calm for a while.

At that moment, Long Tu admired Xu Shi, and wished to thank him immediately. Of course, he didn't do that, but he just took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Captain Liu did not make a big mistake. But what matters now Instead of finding the injured General Feng, why don't the subordinates find it himself?"

Dong Shixiu didn't answer, but just looked at Xu Shi on the ground inscrutablely. After a while, he said: "Immediately send someone to search along the coast, and another person to contact Du Kang to see if he has any news."

"Yes." Long Tu took the order to leave the tent.

Dong Shixiu glanced at the two people on the ground, his expression was calm, and he seemed to have returned to the usual wise and mighty Emperor Dadong. "Lieutenant Liu Du, Xu Qing is right. You have meritorious deeds and are not guilty. When you return to the imperial capital, I will reward you according to your merits."

"Minister... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Liu Duwei kowtowed in a choked voice.

Dong Shixiu, who had calmed down, also remembered Liu Duwei's previous statement at this moment, and immediately asked: "Liu Duwei, who did you say that General Feng was rescued just now?"

"Saved by the Sea God." Lieutenant Liu Du replied.

Dong Shixiu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became suspicious: "Sea God?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lieutenant Liu nodded, "The general fell into the sea that day. Because of the strong wind and waves, the general cherished the lives of the soldiers and didn't allow me to get off the boat to save her, and the ropes we dropped were blown away by the strong wind. "Although the general is world-class in martial arts, he is also futile in the wind and waves, and he can't swim no matter what. At the critical moment, suddenly a few meters long giant fish came across the wind and waves, pulling a boat. On the boat stood a The man, the wind **** is peerless, graceful and majestic, he commanded the giant fish to rescue the general who was unconscious in the sea."

Speaking of the scene that day, Lieutenant Liu was full of awe, "Your Majesty, at that time, the wind and waves were violent, and the boat we were on was tossing in the wind and waves, and it was in danger of capsizing at any time, but that boat was sailing in the sea. Like walking on flat ground, the man on the boat is not afraid of wind and waves, and stands on the bow like a mountain. How can ordinary people have such a calm and calm demeanor? Only listen to his orders." Speaking of this, he kowtowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, the general is someone who has been favored by the gods, she must be fine, and the gods will definitely send the general back to us."

Hearing Liu Duwei's narration, Dong Shixiu was full of astonishment, could it be that the sea **** really came to the world at that time? Otherwise, how can you be so capable? But he was walking through the wind and waves, he immediately calmed down, and asked again: "What happened after that?"

"Then those giant fish pulled the boat away again, and took the general away. No matter how much I yelled, there was no answer. At that moment, the fishermen on the boat said that a storm was coming, and we must hurry back to shore, otherwise Even if the ship was destroyed and people were killed, I had no choice but to fall off the ship and return to the shore." Liu Duwei said with his head down.

This time, Dong Shixiu did not get angry, but just nodded slightly, "You are tired from running around for days, go down and rest first."

"Yes." Liu Duwei kowtowed and stepped back.

"You should step back too." Dong Shixiu waved his hand.

"Resignation." Xu Shi bowed and retreated.

Watching him walk out of the tent, Dong Shixiu murmured to himself, "This kid is quite a talent... Jade Master, Jade Master, where are you now?" He sighed softly, feeling very melancholy .

After a while, Long Tu came back, "Your Majesty, I have selected a hundred capable guards and ordered them to set off."

"Yeah." Dong Shixiu rubbed his temples, the anger just now seemed to burn his heart, but now he was just exhausted. "Another announcement to the world: Those who save General Feng will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and those who return to General Feng safely will be rewarded with an official title."

"Yes."

"You also step back, let me be quiet."

"Yes." Long Tu tidied up the tent before leaving. The man stopped in front of the tent door, looked back at the man in the chair who was frowning and worried, and couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty, General Feng will return safely, so you don't need to worry."

Dong Shixiu lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, he just raised his hand and waved it.

Long Tu lifted the curtain and came out.

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and then only a long and soft sigh was heard.

"Don't be swayed by resentment and anger" was also mentioned by Jade Master several times that day, and asked him to quote it as a commandment, but every time he was in the test and Fenghuang'er, he always lost control and lost his composure. Knowing that, another reprimand was inevitable. Master Yu, if you are not by my side, your words can always control me. Dong Shixiu stroked his forehead wearily. Ever since he ascended the throne, Jade Master has abandoned them, and there has been no news of him for many years, and he does not know where he and his mother have wandered. The younger brother Xu has grown into an adult, but he does not know if we will see each other again in this life. Day no.

He sat alone in the tent, thinking about Jade Master, thinking about the past, thinking about the brothers, thinking about the injured Feng Duying, thinking about the strange man who saved Feng Duying... Quietly, also After an unknown amount of time, Long Tu's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, Princess Xuanji is asking to see you."

He was startled, thinking to himself that it's so late, what is the princess doing here? "It's getting late, please come back tomorrow, princess."

There was a moment of silence outside the tent, and then there was a soft voice, and then Long Tu sent another message: "Your Majesty, the princess said that there is something important to discuss."

Dong Shixiu frowned and said, "Let the princess come in."

A moment later, the tent door was lifted, and a beautiful figure floated in, suddenly brightening the dim tent.

"Why did the princess come so late?" Dong Shixiu looked up at Bei Xuanji standing in the tent, even though he was used to beauties, he couldn't help but praise the person in front of him, which is rare in the world. At this moment, she has long hair and shawls, with a plain face facing the sky, wearing a light green robe that is as smooth as water, without a trace of makeup or gold jade from head to toe, but it is like a natural carving of a lotus emerging from water, which makes people look pleasing to the eye.

Bei Xuanji glanced around the tent, and then smiled: "Xuanji came here to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Oh?" Dong Shixiu raised his eyebrows, "What worries me? How will the princess solve it?"

Bei Xuanji smiled like a flower, moved lightly, and floated in front of Dong Shixiu like a flower on the wind, "Your Majesty's brows are furrowed, and you are naturally worried. Although Xuanji doesn't know what your majesty is worried about, it's just..." She slowly Bend slowly, like a willow branch, she leaned on the east and repaired her knees, raised her head slightly, and looked like a begonia, "Your Majesty, can't Xuanji be your worry-relieving flower?"

Dong Shixiu was taken aback. Looking at the flowery beauty so close at hand, she didn't expect her to be so thoughtful, so she already knew about the shipwreck of the King of the North Sea? After a long while, he laughed and stood up, stretching his arms and hugging Bei Xuanji, "How can I be a elm man when the princess is so favored."

Bei Xuanji smiled and leaned into his arms.

******

On August 15th in the third year of Yuanding, Dong Shixiu made a triumphant return to Beihai.

Since then, there is no Beihai country on the coast of Beihai, and the name of Beihai only exists in the volumes of history.

Beihai Kingdom was not destroyed by a mediocre tyrant, but by a wise king. This is a rare event in history. Whenever future generations read this period of history, they will always sigh: This king of Beihai is an expert in governing the country, but he is obviously not a general. Then the world commented that the reason why Beihai perished was not that there were no good soldiers, but that there was really a lack of good generals. However, some people commented that even if there was a famous general in Beihai who was better than Fu Huan, he could only do nothing in front of the Dadong Cavalry, because at that time Dadong had Emperor Wei Lie and seven generals. There were so many heroes and famous generals in the troubled times back then, but they were all defeated by the eight of them one by one. Even if there was a genius in Beihai, Mr. Qingran, he would not be spared.
