How could Li Yan let him escape like this? He signaled Wuwei. Wuwei immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Rang like an eagle catching a chicken, and directly threw it to the ground.

"Your Highness the King of Shu can spare my life. You are blind and have no eyes to know Mount Tai. Please spare my life!" At this time, Zhou Rang no longer had the arrogance he had just now. He was lawless, but he still had no confidence in facing a prince, and his head kept knocking on the ground.

Li Yan frowned and thought about what to do next. After all, this place is not Yizhou, and he does not have the right to kill officials. Otherwise, a vassal king would definitely cause dissatisfaction with the court officials outside his fiefdom. This is not a trivial matter.

"Hmph, let's spare you this time today." Li Yan said, "If I let you know that you are domineering horizontally at Jiangling Wharf in the future, I will definitely not let you go." After weighing the pros and cons, Li Yan decided to spare the two of them for the time being and let them relax their vigilance. In the future, the shadow guards will secretly collect evidence of the two of them. After the evidence is conclusive, they will send them to Chang'an and completely take them down. At the same time, he is also thinking about how to replace the friendly officials at Jiangling Wharf, preferably officials under Li Ke, so that Jiangling Wharf will completely become Li Yan's shipping transit station.

Li Yan's words made He Ming and Zhou Rang stunned. Then they kowtowed to Li Yan again as if they were amnesty, as if they didn't understand that Li Yan had already set a death date for the two of them. The businessmen around them all showed disappointment when they saw Li Yan's handling. They thought Li Yan would put this person on the spot.

Ignoring the two kneeling on the ground, Li Yan went straight onto the yacht. After a while, six yachts disappeared at Jiangling Wharf. It was not until this time that He Ming and Zhou Rang breathed a sigh of relief. Then He Ming raised his hand and slapped Zhou Rang, "Little Bastard, don't you say this is a business trip? Do you want to kill me?"

Zhou Rang covered his face and dared not speak. He could do his best and look down on his father-in-law. Whatever he dared to say could only let He Ming slap his face one by one.

After Li Yan's team left the dock, a graceful white woman appeared on the dock and stood there for a long time when she looked at the leaving fleet.

"This Yuxiao Tower will be sold tomorrow!" The woman said softly, and there was a fat man standing behind him, the shopkeeper Li Yan met while having dinner.

A green-clothed maid was next to the woman, with a rebellious look on her face. Hearing this, he said, "It's so unlucky. He actually met the King of Shu here. Such a good business can only be lost."

The woman in white sighed and said, "It's not that the King of Shu, the Yuxiao Building, will not be able to operate for a long time. Ashinalan was arrested by Li Shimin. Our backer to the prince's place has disappeared. Now He Ming doesn't know about this. Will these two people have a good life if they know?" As he said, the woman in white looked at He Ming and Zhou Rang on the side. Seeing the woman in white, they immediately showed a look of awe, because this was the person the prince told to take care of.

"Hmph. Li Shimin won't be proud for long. Khan has now reorganized his tribe. Xue Yantuo also understood that the trick he had fallen into Li Shimin's division and was intended to unite with Khan, and now with the help of Xu Junshi, it is not easy to capture Chang'an." said the maid in green.

He frowned slightly, and the woman in white said, "I'm afraid you're all wrong. Li Shimin is easy to deal with, but I'm afraid the hardest one is the King of Shu!"

"Did you talk about the weapon that the Yizhou army defeated the Tubo army? Didn't you say that since Ashinalan passed the formula of black gunpowder back, Junjun Xu has been studying it?" said the maid in confusion.

"That's not such a simple thing. My aunt is so anxious to get that weapon, but she is not going to take it back to the military commander Xu." The woman in white said, "And Li Shimin is also said to be very curious about that weapon. It was just that Li Chengqian's affairs delayed this matter. Once he recovered and got this weapon from the King of Shu, it would be even more impossible for us to win this war."

After saying that, both of them became silent, and the eyes of the woman in white looking at the fleet disappearing at the end of the Yangtze River suddenly became chaotic and complicated. There was love, resentment, and some things that were inexplicable...

After leaving Jiangling Wharf, he traveled for another three days. At noon that day, Li Yan was awakened by Liu Yanyu's cheers. He got up from the cabin and went to the deck. Seeing Liu Yanyu pointing to the front and jumping excitedly, he looked forward and his eyes suddenly condensed. It turned out that there was a large pier not far away. There were many ships moored in the pier, almost all of which were connected into one piece. Among these ships, more than a dozen ships were very tall. Li Yan recognized that it was the treasure ship built in Yizhou at a glance. Needless to think, they had already arrived at the deep water port of Ryukyu Island and the treasure ship port.

"This kind of large warship is really a waste, and there is no need in this era." Li Ran's inappropriate words ruined Li Yan's mood.

Li Yan said: "Humans have a kind of vanity called high-end, atmospheric and high-end. You intelligent people who have no feelings will never understand it."

"So it's really hard for humans to understand." Li Ran said.

Ignoring him, Li Yan lay on the deck and started basking in the sun. Part of the front deck of the yacht was tilted, which was designed to basketball. At this time, there was still a distance from the dock. Li Yan planned to enjoy the sunshine in the sea, and Liu Yanyu also lay on the deck after seeing Li Yan's actions. Since she said what she thought to Li Yan, she became much closer to Li Yan. Looking at Liu Yan lying on the side, Li Yan thought about whether to drive a yacht to sea that day and let Liu Yanyu wear a bikini to bask in the sun!

After a while of the sea breeze, the yacht was swift, and the group of them arrived at the dock quickly, and the soldiers guarding the dock surrounded them after seeing this strange fleet.

After docking the yacht on the shore, Li Yan and his group went ashore. Wuwei stepped forward to inform them of their identity. After learning that the King of Shu arrived, the soldiers immediately saluted Li Yan. One of them left the team and ran to a fortress of more than 20 meters behind the dock. Li Yan looked up and saw that it was the war fortress built by Li Yan asking Sun Dongxu and others to build it. This fortress, which is like a European-style castle building, can effectively protect the people on the land. It is perfect to build it in such a place of pirates, because once pirates are found invading, the people can immediately hide in the fortress and use the reserves and weapons of the fortress for defense, so that a small number of troops can maintain the defense and security on the island.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Yan walked around. The construction of the treasure ship port was basically in its infancy. The cement pavement here was clean and tidy. The living and storage areas were built separately and the planning was well organized. There were many artillery batteries on the coast, with naval guns installed on them to defend against pirate attacks.

Bypassing the living area, a few more steps will be the naval base. There are soldiers from the navy and Marine Corps stationed here. Before he could reach the door, he heard the slogans of the soldiers training inside. At this time, the three of them walked out of it and accelerated when they saw Li Yan.

"Zeng Zhida"

"Sun Dongxu"

"Xia Guangyi, see Your Highness!" the three of them said in unison.

Li Yanxu helped him for a moment and said, "No gift."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" the three of them said again.

Li Yan raised his foot and walked into the military camp, jokingly saying, "Didn't Jin Daqian be with you again?"

"Go back to Your Highness, the Governor of Jin went out to inspect the land reclamation matters, and he would probably come back soon." Sun Dongxu said.

Li Yan nodded, "This military port is well built, and we must continue to work hard in the future. Although this place is remote, all the food in Yizhou is expected to be supplied here. You three are the most trustworthy people in the army and will send you here. Don't slack off just because the place is far away."

"Don't worry, your highness, we have never slacked off because of the distance. Your Highness trusts us so much is the blessing we have cultivated for three lifetimes." Zeng Zhida said in a muffled voice. Li Yan's words made them feel warm. At least they knew that Li Yan had always trusted them very much, which was better than anything else. (To be continued...)
