Chapter 576: Li Min is going to Ceylon

"Oh, what do you want?" Zitu said calmly. He had adjusted his mindset now and was waiting for the other party to offer conditions.

However, Liu Kata smiled at Lu Wan apologized, and then said a few words to Zituo in the Mayan language, but Lu Wan and the others couldn't understand it at all. However, Zituo's face changed after hearing it, and then he showed a deep thoughtful look.

After a while, Zituo quickly said a few words to Liu Kata, who seemed very leisurely and started a series of conversations with the other party calmly. As a result, Lu Wan and the others couldn't understand it, so they could only be anxious.

Finally, Zitu seemed very hesitant, and looked like he was unsure of his mind. Then he said something to Liu Kata, who also nodded, and then Zitu hurriedly said goodbye.

"Liu Tongyi, what are you discussing with Zituo just now?" Lu Wan asked in a deep voice. He was the head of the entire fleet, so he naturally had to come forward to contact with the native Americans. Therefore, he was a little dissatisfied with Liu Kata's performance just now, and Feng Shijie and others next to him were also staring at Liu Kata in confusion.

However, Liu Kata said to Lu Wan apologetically: "Captain, you misunderstood, please take a look at this first."

Liu Kata said, taking out a token from his arms, and the token was engraved with two words "Guardian". Seeing this token, everyone present was shocked. This was the token of the Qi Palace, and Liu Kata was in his hand now. It seemed that as they guessed, Liu Kata really had some relationship with the Qi Palace. Even the reason why he could become the chief of the Kata tribe was probably that the royal palace was supported.

Since Liu Kata is from the Qi Palace, Lu Wan and the others' expressions were relaxed. At this time, Liu Kata explained: "Now everyone knows my identity, so there is no need to hide what happened just now. This time I participated in the fleet exploring America and received the order of His Highness the King of Qi, so that if conditions permit, it is best to nail a nail in America. What I just negotiated with Zituo was actually making a deal with them..."

"Okay, we understand. Liu Tongyi, you don't need to explain anymore. If there is something we need to do, you can come to me, and the fleet will provide you with all the conveniences!" Seeing that Liu Kata wanted to explain further, Lu Wan interrupted him when he went out to visit.

Liu Kata is from the Qi Palace, and this is enough. As for the special mission he carries, he doesn't need to explain to them, he just needs to cooperate with His Highness the Qi Palace's orders.

Liu Kata was very grateful when he heard Lu Wan's words. Then he was not polite and told him about the aspects he needed to cooperate with the fleet. These were not difficult for the fleet, and it was also conducive to them to achieve the fleet's mission in the Americas. Therefore, Lu Wan and others naturally had no objection.

Just a few days later, a turmoil occurred in Mansa City. The old priests representing divine power, and the Mansa City Lord, representing secular power. Two forces that were not in harmony finally broke up. The Mansa City Lord took advantage of the opportunity to summon the nobles in the city to discuss matters, and then announced that the old priests were despised by the gods. Finally, he was entrusted to rush into the temple and personally sacrificed the old priests.

In this internal battle of Mansa City, Lu Wan's fleet did not intervene, but Liu Kata gave Zituo a batch of iron weapons. After these advanced weapons, the warriors armed with the warriors gained a advantage in the battle. The noble warriors who sacrificed the sect were no match for them, so they were quickly suppressed.

Mansa City is just a small village, with only more than 1,000 people in the village. Even if the surrounding villages that belong to them are counted, there are only three or four thousand people, and the armed forces are even less pitiful. Therefore, the internal strife was quickly calmed down without causing any storm.

However, in the following time, the Lord of Mansa began to recruit all his senior laborers and began to build a solid fortress next to a natural port not far from Mansa City. This fortress was one of the conditions for Liu Kata to help the Lord of Mansa City. After all, they still have to return to the Americas in the future, so they need to have their own stronghold. This stronghold was temporarily named the Port of America by Lu Wan. However, after Lu Wan and the others returned, in order to express their gratitude to Lu Wan, Li Yan changed the name of the port to Lu Wan Port, and later developed into Lu Wan City.

In addition to building the fortress, the Lord of Mansa also had to abide by the agreement and do his best to help Lu Wan and the others collect what the fleet needed. Even some locally unique animals, Lu Wan was planning to bring back more. However, the sea was changing, and no one knew whether these animals could reach Taiwan alive. Maybe when food was missing halfway, these animals would become their fill.

Lu Wan and his team also need to conduct some simple intelligence collection in the Americas, which cannot be completed in a short period of time, so they have to stay in the Americas for at least a few months. However, with the full assistance of Mansa City, their work began very smoothly and they should be able to set sail and return home in a few months.

At the same time, Li Yan's inspection in Lion City was coming to an end. He was very satisfied with the construction of Lion City, especially Wang Kuang's achievements in the economic construction of Lion City, which made Li Yan even more amazed. The role of the Hai Trade Center has been fully affirmed by him, and he also decided to use the Hai Trade Center as an official organization to open the same institutions in cities such as Tainan, Keelung, and at the same time, to share information to achieve the purpose of improving commercial efficiency.

In addition, the security of the Lion City is also a key point. Lu Qing personally took charge here, and even Li Jingye was sent here by him. However, this was not enough. With the pacification of Luzon, Japan, Linyi and other places, there was no need to maintain too large fleet regulations there, so the main fleet of the navy was also transferred to Malacca, which not only could protect the safety of the Lion City, but also could deter the entire Nanyang region and lay a solid foundation for the complete annexation of Nanyang.

A few days later, Li Yan's fleet left Lion City and headed north to Taiwan. At the same time, another fleet went west to Ceylon Island, nominally transporting a batch of supplies. However, no one expected that Li Yan did not go back to Taiwan, but followed the supplies fleet to Ceylon.

In fact, Li Yan was ready to go to Ceylon before going to Lion City, but this decision was opposed by Xin and Wu Meiniang, because there was nothing particularly important to Li Yan to deal with. The reason why he wanted to go to Ceylon was simply to go out for fun. It was okay to come for fun. After all, Li Yan was very busy some time ago, and it is reasonable to go out to relax now. However, Ceylon has just been occupied, and the rule of the royal palace there is not particularly stable, and occasionally there will be some small conflicts. If something happens to Li Yan there, it will be too late to regret it.

In fact, not only Xin and others opposed it, but also Wang An, Lu Hong and others strongly opposed it. After all, everything in the Qi Palace is dominated by Li Yan. If he really has any accidents, it will definitely be a blow to them.

Li Yan, who has always been admonishing, seemed very stubborn this time and had to go to Ceylon Island no matter what. And he also had his own reason, that is, he needed to know the situation of Li Zhen and Li Yun in Tianzhu so that he could better formulate future strategic plans.

Another problem is that Li Yan was also very alert to the growing strength of Dashi. The Arab Empire, which was established across Asia, Africa and Europe in the future, is now like the rising sun. The old Persia is destined to perish, and the Eastern Roman Empire can only survive. The power of the Tang Dynasty has reached the edge of West Asia, and will sooner or later fight with Persia in the future. In addition, Li Zhen and Li Yun may also face the pressure of the great cannibalism in the future, so Li Yan wants to get a close look at the country of Dashi.

Although Wang An, Lu Hong and others believed that the situation of Li Zhen and Li Yun in Tianzhu did not affect their development and the issue of Dashi did not need to be considered now, Li Yan was very persistent, and Lian Xin and others could not make him change his mind. So in the end, after Li Yan promised that this was only once and he would never take any risk in the future, Wang An and others finally agreed to Li Yan to go to Ceylon. In addition, they begged Li Yan to never go to the mainland of Tianzhu. Li Yan agreed to this, but only Li Yan knew whether he could keep his promise.

Li Yan's trip to Ceylon this time was listed as a top secret. Apart from Xin, only a few core figures such as Wang An and Lu Hong knew that everyone outside thought that Li Yan would return to Taiwan with Xin and others, but this secret can only be maintained for two or three months at most. If Li Yan does not show up for a long time, it will definitely arouse suspicion from those who are interested.

Although two or three months were not very long, Li Yan estimated that it was enough for him to go around Ceylon and Tianzhu. In addition, he could also help Li Zhen and Li Yun to provide some suggestions to help them develop better in Tianzhu in the future.

When Li Yan's fleet came out of the Strait of Malacca, he stood at the bow of the ship excitedly. Looking at the sea in front of him, which was called the Indian Ocean in later generations, he couldn't help but feel excited. Although pirates are still rampant here and often threaten the safety of the Lion City to Ceylon route, as long as he pacified the South China Ocean, this ocean will sooner or later be in his hands. As for those hateful pirates, they must be executed!
