"Your Majesty, the Xue Yantuo people who assassinated the county lord of Yongping have all been beheaded."

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Zhong came to Li Shimin's side with his head down.

Xue Li did not hide anything about chasing and killing and exterminating Xue Yantuo's people.

In Chang'an City, there are still many restless factors.

This time, the thunderous blow of the guards of the Chu Palace's mansion is to let everyone know that some bottom lines are not breached, and once they are stepped on, it will be the end of being crushed.

Xue Li wasn't even interested in capturing those Xue Yantuo people alive.

There is no need!

Whatever the reason, these people deserve to die.

As for whose idea it was, what does it matter?

Anyway, sooner or later, they will all be destroyed.

"Is it really from Xue Yantuo?"

Li Shimin's voice was a little cold.

Last year, Xue Li and Su Liegang gave Xue Yantuo a thunderous blow with thousands of elites, but they didn't expect them to actually hit Xiao Ma with their ideas.

"It's true, and the leader among them should be Xue Yantuo's little khan, Xue Rengui took the guards of the Chu Wangfu to intercept them in Sanyuan County."

"Last year, the DPRK and China discussed whether it was necessary to attack Xue Yantuo on a large scale, and now that the cement road from Jinyang to Shuozhou is about to be completed, it is time to consider the conquest of Xue Yantuo again."

Li Shimin looked at the north, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Fighting Xue Yantuo, he didn't worry at all.

But what to do after the fight, he was a little hesitant.

The Eastern Turks were wiped out by the Tang Dynasty for less than ten years, and new forces like Xue Yantuo had already appeared on the grassland.

This is still under his own governance, if a new emperor ascends the throne in the future, will the situation change faster?

I can't leave such a scourge to future generations.

However, how to solve the grassland problem once and for all is a headache for Li Shimin.

"Has Kuan'er arrived in Hanzhong?"

Li Shimin suddenly thought of Li Kuan's grassland strategy, so many years have passed, and it seems that the people of Xue Yantuo have not become more docile at all.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived in Hanzhong the day before yesterday, calculate the time, and you can return to Chang'an tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

For such an important state capital as Hanzhong, the Baiqi Division naturally has power there.

"This incident happened this time, I really want to hear what Kuan'er's opinion is."

In public and private, when he went to Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin wanted to hear Li Kuan's opinion.

For most of the past six months, Li Kuan has not been in Chang'an, and Li Shimin is really a little unaccustomed to it.

……

Guangzhou, Guangta Wharf.

Looking at the appearance of people coming and going on the dock, Fang Yiai felt a sense of familiarity that had not been seen for a long time.

"Gaoyang, this is Guangzhou, let's quickly find a place to rest and taste the lychees here."

Fang Yiai looked up at the sun in the sky and felt that the fire began to rise in her throat.

Summer in Lingnan is too hot.

The key is the heat here, the kind of humid heat, which is completely different from Chang'an City.

If it's Chang'an, no matter how hot the weather is, as long as you don't stay in the sun, you won't feel so uncomfortable.

But Lingnan's words just feel that everywhere is sticky and uncomfortable.

"I'm trying to find a place to take a good bath right now, and I'm sick to death."

Gao Yang felt that some of her clothes and back were completely glued together, and when she heard that Nanyang was hotter than here, she really couldn't imagine how the people there spent the summer.

"We went to the wharf, asked Fang Zhen where he had set up his foothold, and then went over to rest for a while, and then we could go to Brother Cheng, he has been in Guangzhou for several months, and he should be more familiar with the situation here than we are."

Thinking that I hadn't seen Cheng Chumo for a long time, Fang Yiai actually missed it a little.

This kind of feeling made him feel a little ashamed.

"I heard that the second brother's mansion also arranged for people to come to Guangzhou to buy land and plant a lot of sugarcane?"

Although the relationship between Gao Yang and Li Kuan is relatively average, as long as he is a child of the clan, it is impossible not to pay attention to Li Kuan's movements; It's really that he can toss too much, and the key is to be favored.

"That's right, the Chu Palace's arrangement is that Xu Jingzong's son Xu Ang came to Guangzhou to be responsible for everything in the palace, speaking of which, this Xu Ang can be regarded as half the master of Guangzhou City."

The affairs of the Chu Palace, Fang Yiai is much more familiar than ordinary people.

Even this Xu Ang, Fang Yiai also knows it.

Of course, it's just a nod of the head, and I haven't dealt with much before.

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because Xu Ang's daughter is married to the son of Geng Guogong Feng An, and this Feng family is the biggest snake in Lingnan Province."

Although the Fang family is also a noble status in the Tang Dynasty, Fang Yiai is still self-aware, and in Guangzhou City, the Feng family is still incomparable with the Emperor of the Earth.

Of course, if there is any conflict, Fang Yiai is not afraid.

In his head, he never knew how to write the word "fear".

"I see, no wonder the second brother sent him to Guangzhou to be the big shopkeeper, but he made the best use of his talents."

Gao Yang and his entourage, the movement was so big, and soon someone from the East China Sea trade stationed at the wharf came over and took them to the courtyard of the Fang family in Guangzhou.

"The city of Guangzhou has become more prosperous than the last time I came, and there seem to be more barbarian maritime merchants than before."

Fang Yiai paid a little attention to the surroundings and discovered the changes in Guangzhou City.

……

Boom!

Boom!

Before Fang Yiai entered the door of the house, the sound of horses' hooves attracted everyone.

"Haha, bereavement, you are finally willing to leave Beijing, and now our brothers are finally together again."

Cheng Chumo jumped off the horse like a gust of wind and had a bear hug with Fang Yiai.

Encounter old acquaintances in a foreign land!

For the people of ancient times, this was really something to celebrate.

In the era of underdeveloped transportation, there was no telephone, no Internet, and many friends may be separated after the next meeting will be at Meng Po Bridge.

Although Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai are both from Chang'an, they will not never see each other for the rest of their lives, but if they can meet in Guangzhou, this kind of opportunity may really never be seen again.

"Brother Cheng, why are you tanned like black charcoal, now someone is darker than me."

Fang Yiai looked at Cheng Chumo in front of him and felt that the change was really big.

"If you stay in Guangzhou for half a year, you will become like me."

Cheng Chumo is not a person who can stay at home, he walks around under the sun every day, so it's strange that he can't be dark.

"How's it going, is Guangzhou fun?"

Fang Yiai was not in a hurry to enter the door, so he stood there and chatted with Cheng Zhi silently, and Gao Yang on the side directly rolled his eyes and went in first.

Gao Yang didn't look down on Fang Yiai before, and he naturally didn't have a good impression of Cheng Chumo, who was in love with Fang Yi.

However, along the way south, Gao Yang's relationship with Fang Yiai has greatly improved, at least Fang Yiai does not have to be by his side all the time, but he lives a monk-like life.

"Princess, this is a lychee that has just been plucked from the tree, and now is the time to eat it."

In the lobby, as soon as Gao Yang sat down, Fang Zhen had already prepared an ice basin to cool down, and then someone served all kinds of fresh fruits.

Of course, as a Lingnan characteristic, the lychee in the heaviest season must be recommended by Fangzhen.

Some people say that lychees are not suitable for overnight after picking, and after overnight, meat worms will grow and the taste will deteriorate.

Therefore, when everyone eats lychees, it is likely that even meat worms will be eaten.

Because, even in Lingnan, which is rich in lychees, not every household can eat the freshly picked lychees from the trees in time.

Gao Yang picked up a lychee with a rough appearance and a bumpy skin, and couldn't help but put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.

The smell of the flesh has been revealed through the skin, and the sweetness makes you want to take a few bites.

Gao Yang's slender jade fingers gently pinched the skin of the lychee and peeled off the bright red skin.

The originally red lychee immediately turned into a snow-white pearl.

The transparent and elastic flesh makes people hold it in their mouths and bite it gently.

"Hmm!"

Gao Yang couldn't help but let out a moan, but she reacted immediately, her performance seemed to be a little ......

Fortunately, Fang Yiai's guy is not there.

However, this lychee is a delicacy in the world, and he is not lying.

Just Chong was able to eat such a sweet lychee, Gao Yang felt that it was worth going south this time.

In Chang'an City, even the father and mother didn't have the opportunity to eat such fresh lychees, right?

"Fang Zhen, you guys go get busy first, Xiu'er just stay here and accompany me."

Gao Yang didn't want people to see his ungraceful side, so he pushed away all the people around him who were not familiar with him.

Soon, Gao Yang's foodie attributes exploded, and a large plate of lychees entered her stomach one after another.

However, when she touched her belly contentedly, felt a sense of comfort, and was about to get up to take a bath, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

"Princess! Princess! ”

Gao Yang's personal maid Xiu'er saw this scene, and her face changed.

I just arrived in Guangzhou, and something happened?

There was a burst of chaos in the lobby, which immediately alarmed Fang Yiai, who was still at the gate and at the Cheng Place.

Swish!

Fang Yiai rushed to the lobby like a bolt of lightning.

"Gao Yang, what's wrong with you?"

When Fang Yiai saw Gao Yang, she was already in a cold sweat, holding her stomach with her hands, and sitting on the ground with a blue face.

"Lang Jun, princess, she has been eating lychees just now, and she was about to take a bath after eating, but the result was ...... Results ......"

The tears on Xiu'er's face were about to fall.

"It's bad, I forgot to remind you, you can't eat more lychees, especially when you have an empty stomach, otherwise you'll get 'lychee disease'."

When Cheng Chumo saw this scene, he immediately knew what was going on.

"Hurry up, go and ask someone to prepare some sugar water or sugar cane juice, and give it to Princess Gaoyang, it should get better soon."

Although Cheng Chumo didn't know that this "lychee disease" was actually hypoglycemia, he was already experienced and knew how to deal with it.

Well, don't ask him how he knows.

The so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor, probably this is the truth.

"Brother Cheng, this ...... Does drinking some sugar water work? ”

Fang Yiai glanced at Cheng Chumo a little anxiously.

Although everyone is a good brother, he never knew that Cheng Chumo still knew medical skills.

Is this suggestion reliable?

"Lang Jun, the sugar water is ready."

At this time, Fang Zhen, who heard the news, had already prepared a bowl of sugar water and served it to Fang Yiai.

This "lychee disease", as long as it is a person from the north, when they arrive in Guangzhou, they have basically been more or less hit.

Even if someone reminds them in advance, many people don't believe in evil, and they will do it many times.

And then......

"After drinking the sugar water, let the subordinates prepare some herbal tea recommended by the local Langzhong in Lingnan, and recuperate for half a day, and it should be relieved. However, you can't eat so many lychees at once in the future, otherwise even the iron man won't be able to stand it. ”

Cheng Chumo glanced at the large pile of lychee skins and lychee cores on the table, and he knew why Princess Gaoyang had this symptom.

"Fang Yiai, why didn't you tell me that if you eat too much lychee, you will get lychee disease?"

Gao Yang drank most of the bowl of sugar water, and the whole person was half lying in Fang Yiai's arms, glaring at him a little dissatisfied.

"I ...... I haven't eaten lychee yet! ”

Fang Yiai felt that his voice was a little quieter.

He didn't bother to brag about how delicious that lychee was in front of Princess Gao Yang, but now he told Gao Yang that he hadn't eaten it, no wonder he didn't know what to do.

Gao Yang: ......

"In addition to lychees, you can't eat more of that sweet banana on an empty stomach. However, the sugar cane in the sugar cane field, you can eat it no matter how you eat it. ”

Cheng Chumo saw the two of them who were still squatting on the ground, so he simply reminded them again, lest there be another moth in a few days.

"Brother Cheng, I'll accompany Gao Yang back to the room to rest first, and I'll go to play with you tomorrow."

Fang Yiai decisively abandoned Cheng Chumo.

A wife like a garment and a brother like a brother is not applicable to him at all.

And Cheng Chumo saw that after Fang Yiai finished speaking, he left the lobby with Gao Yang in his arms, and he was speechless for a while.

It's only three poles a day, why are you in such a hurry to go back to the room?

……

On the edge of the Baqiao, Li Kuan's face was cloudy and uncertain, listening to the guards who had been waiting for him for a long time report on what had happened in Chang'an City in the past few days.

"Lord Wang, it's good that people are fine, but when Xiaomai goes out in the future, he will have to follow a few guards around him."

As the only descendant of the Chu Palace, Xiao Maize's popularity in Chang'an City is not much lower than that of Li Kuan.

This time, Xue Yantuo set his eyes on her, and it was hard to guarantee that no one else would pay more attention to her in the future.

"It seems that all parts of the river must promote cotton planting as soon as possible, so that all the surrounding areas of Shuozhou will become the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and the grassland will become fertile land, so that all these Hu people will disappear from this area."

Li Kuan had not yet wanted to use all his efforts to promote cotton cultivation, but now it seems that even in order to move the actual territory of the Tang Dynasty to the north and compress the living space of Xue Yantuo and other grassland tribes, it is necessary to promote cotton cultivation to the north.

"Lord Wang, the promotion of cotton planting is best to wait for the cotton picking in Chang'an City this year before proposing it. After everyone sees the benefits of cotton fields, there will be a stronger incentive to take the initiative to expand cotton planting. ”

Although Wang Xuance was also very angry about the assassination of Xiaocorn, he felt that he could not rush to promote cotton in advance, otherwise it would have the effect of half the effort.

"Don't worry, this king knows that dealing with these Hu people is not just about promoting cotton planting!"

Li Kuan snorted coldly, crossed the Baqiao, and headed towards the courtyard of the Chu Palace.
