"Your Highness, I'm not sure about this either!"

Changsun Wuji looked helpless.

"No, we have to go to Uncle Jin Wang about this matter!"

At this time, Li Chengqian could no longer hold back, stood up quickly, and walked out of the palace.

As for Changsun Wuji, he sighed helplessly and followed with a sad face.

"You are saying that it is possible for His Majesty to go to America?"

After listening to the words of Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian, Li Xuan sat up from the sofa in shock. According to Li Shimin's urine, it was really possible for him to do such a thing!

"Your Majesty, isn't this nonsense? How old is he, how old is the Hejian County Prince, and there are so many veterans on the boat! If they can go to Dashi and then take them to Australia, their bodies and bones are almost reaching the limit!

If we continue to patrol Goguryeo, Baekje, and Japan, some veteran generals may fall.

As for heading to America, it's not certain whether he and the King of Hejian County can make it there."

With that said, Li Xuan quickly shouted outside: "Zheng Fu, summon two hundred personal guards and follow me to Qingzhou!"

As for why they are not called Li Chang, it is because the old housekeeper Li Chang is old and has been bedridden as early as two years ago!

"Gao Ming, Duke Zhao, according to your Majesty's actions, they will definitely go to Qingzhou to put down tens of thousands of soldiers, and then recruit some food. I will rush there overnight, and I will definitely be able to catch up with your Majesty!"

"In this case, I'll trouble Uncle Wang!" Li Chengqian quickly raised his hands and saluted.

Changsun Wuji, who was on the side, said slowly: "Your Highness, King Jin, I wonder if I can go to Qingzhou with King Jin?"

"uncle?"

Li Chengqian was shocked.

Li Xuan was also stunned, looked at Changsun Wuji up and down, and said: "Zhao Guogong has just recovered from his illness, so it is better to stay in Chang'an. It is a long way to go, and I am really afraid that Zhao Guogong will be like Cai Guogong, who will not be able to wait for him."

Your Majesty has already left when he comes back!"

After saying that, he walked upstairs by himself.

Behind him, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look sentimental.

In the spring of last year, Cai Guogong Du Ruhui, who had been bedridden for many years, still couldn't hold on and passed away!

Even before Li Shimin could come back, the burial could only be presided over by the prince Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Zhao State, Sun Wuji, the Duke of Wei State, Fang Xuanling and other loyal ministers!

And now, Changsun Wuji also feels that his body is getting worse and worse.

If it weren't for Dr. Sun from the medical school, he would diagnose and treat them like veterans within a few days.

I am afraid that he would not be able to get up due to the wind and cold two days ago.

After a while.

Li Xuan walked downstairs with two large packages in his hands and walked out.

Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji quickly followed.

Outside the courtyard.

Zheng Fu was already waiting with two hundred personal guards and four large carriages.

Li Xuan turned around, said goodbye to Li Chengqian and Chang Sun Wuji, and got into the carriage directly.

Following Zheng Fu's order, two hundred personal guards escorted four carriages and quickly ran out.

In the past few years, after Datang had no shortage of food, Datang had completely entered a stage of rapid development.

Roads, population, houses...

Naturally, the cement highway from Chang'an to Qingzhou is also maintained very smoothly.

There were also a lot more traveling caravans.

Even though the night is getting dark, there are still some scattered caravans on the concrete road hurrying on their way.

As for Li Xuan, although he was very anxious.

However, after it became completely dark, Zheng Fu was ordered to find an inn and stay in it.

Wait until daybreak before starting on your way.

…

Qingzhou.

The current Qingzhou City has expanded outward due to the huge shipyard outside the city. The number of people in Qingzhou City has doubled compared to more than ten years ago.

There are no longer so many people living in Qingzhou City, and a circle of houses has been built around the city wall of Qingzhou.

Most of them are merchants, and some are family members of craftsmen in the shipyard.

Every day when the sky just turns gray, the Qingzhou Harbor outside Qingzhou City is already bustling with people. Businessmen and fishermen all board their boats and head out to sea.

As a big sun emerged from the end of the sea, the entire sea was dyed golden.

Thousands of ships in the Qingzhou waters that had not yet left the sea suddenly discovered that a large steel ship appeared at the end of the sea in the distance.

As the entire majestic body of the big ship was exposed, several large steel ships appeared behind the big ship.

The fishermen and merchants on these ships quickly began to direct the ships to make way for these large ships.

However, just as they gave way to the waterway, they discovered that at the end of the sea in the distance, there were still large steel ships emerging one after another.

Soon, nearly a hundred large steel ships appeared.

Together, they are like a long dragon heading straight to Qingzhou Harbor.

In the distance, some knowledgeable merchants could not help but stand on their own ships, looking at the huge fleet in the distance with envy and talking about it.

"Such a huge fleet, could it be that Duke Ju's fleet was escorting grain back from the small country of Linyi?"

"Since His Majesty led an army of 100,000 people to conquer Dashi two years ago, Duke Ju's Linyi fleet has only a dozen ships left. In the past two years, although the shipyard has also built many large steel ships,

, but there are definitely not so many ships!”

"If it's not the fleet of Lord Ju, how else in the Tang Dynasty can we have such a huge fleet?"

"Why isn't His Majesty's fleet returning from the expedition against Dashi?"

"Um?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was shocked.

An old man on the side seemed to remember something, and quickly took out a clairvoyant from his arms and looked at the huge fleet in the distance.

Sure enough, the two large ships in that fleet actually hung bright golden yellow dragon flags!

Seeing this, the old man's expression changed, and then he was filled with joy.

"It's the golden dragon flag. This is really His Majesty's fleet!"

"What, His Majesty's fleet?"

Around the old man, a group of people in gorgeous clothes also quickly took out their clairvoyance eyes from their arms and looked at the ship in the distance.

After seeing those dazzling golden dragon flags, everyone's face was filled with joy.

"The Yellow Golden Dragon Flag. Only His Majesty can fly this flag in the entire Tang Dynasty. It must be His Majesty's fleet!"

"Your Majesty is finally back!"

As he said this, several people thought of something and couldn't help but look puzzled.

"But didn't His Majesty lead an army of 100,000 men and more than 200 large steel ships? How come there are only more than 100 large ships in this fleet?"

"Yes, could it be that His Majesty's conquest of Dashi failed miserably?"

"Impossible. The Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world today. How can a mere barbarian defeat the Tang Dynasty's 100,000-strong army? Moreover, such a huge fleet of giant steel ships?"

"Moreover, there are no traces of a war outside this fleet. His Majesty's conquest of Dashi will definitely be a complete victory!"

"Then how come there are so few fleets?"

"Then, is it possible that His Majesty has captured the small barbarian country of Dashi, and the other hundred ships are staying in Dashi to guard it?"

"This is possible!"

"Have you ever thought that when His Majesty recruited an army of 100,000 people, half of the army was gathered along the way. Will the soldiers on the 100 large ships begin to disembark as early as Suzhou and Haizhou and return to their hometowns?"

"Also a possibility……"

…

Likewise, as the fleet approached, more and more merchants and fishermen on board the ships recognized whose fleet they were in front of.

Everyone's eyes flashed with brilliance and they were talking a lot.

His Majesty the Tang Dynasty is back!

All the ships subconsciously stopped and looked at the fleet in the distance quietly.

However, the speed of the steel ship is too fast, and many people who are not clairvoyant cannot see the people on the ship clearly.

On the steel ship, when the fishing boats and merchant ships stopped, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others had already received the report.
To be continued...
