When Zhan Ge came back, it was already sunset, and Yan Wushuang was cleaning up the sun-dried petals with the maid in the courtyard.

This kind of thing naturally hurts her hands, but she can't bear to give Yan Wushuang a good ointment and apply it every day, making her slender hands whiter and delicate than ordinary women, and they are very good-looking.

"Why are you so relaxed today?" Zhan Ge said, took off his wide coat and threw it to the ink merchant behind, and he came to Yan Wushuang's side and loaded the petals with Yan Wushuang.

The moment Yan Wushuang raised her eyes, it seemed that there was light slowly blooming in her eyes: "Are you on the early dynasty?" It's almost evening, isn't it? ”

Bringing the basket in Yan Wu's hands, Zhan Ge sat on the stool and picked up the dried petals: "The envoy to the envoy to the Wa Kingdom and Ryukyu has been a little delayed."

"Where's Ah Jing? Not in the house? "If he is, he will come out as soon as he enters.

"No, he wants to see Xiao'er, I asked him to send him to King Sheng's Mansion." Yan Wushuang wanted to move today, so he found some quiet things to do.

As long as it wasn't Zhan Ge, Yan Wushuang was a lot more relaxed: "When will they leave?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while, but I already brought a lot of things when I went before, and I can afford to spend this time, mainly to hurry up and formulate a new treaty, which is in line with the interests of Dayi to the greatest extent, and not too naked."

Zhan Ge is not good at these things, but there are people who are good at them.

Naturally, there are courtiers in the court who value harmony and think about helping others all day long, but there are also courtiers who have no lower limit, so you can't talk about your hardships and have to accompany them with smiling faces.

"Wa ...... I heard that the people in their country are very low, and some of the pirates in the East China Sea came from their side. ”

Yan Wushuang said this, but it is just gossip that he heard, although he rarely attends banquets, but there are a few people who know each other, and some things are like a gust of wind in the capital, and anyone will know.

Although he used to guard the northern frontier all the year round, and later returned to the capital, Zhan Ge still has a memory of the Japanese country, and the people of this country have come to the capital of Dayi to pay tribute before...... Spineless.

"It's true, the royal family of the Wa Kingdom once came to the capital to pay tribute, relying on brazenness and good speech, and finally got more things than the Ryukyus, and the hundred officials in the court were most unaccustomed to such a country, but they enjoyed their flattery."

With a sneer, Zhan Ge handed the flower basket to the maid who came over, and pulled Yan Wushuang to get up and sit under the flower stand next to him.

This flower stand is carefully raised by the gardener, the blooming violone vine climbs over the flower stand, fishes down, like a dream scene, Yan Wushuang likes it very much, and once painted a picture to express his love.

"This is also human nature, born as a human being, but it is seven emotions and six desires, and everything is complete." Leaning on the flower stand, looking at the beautiful purple carrot vines blooming above, Yan Wu's eyes reflected the most beautiful scenery.

Zhan Ge sat on the stone chair and looked at Yan Wushuang intently, you are looking at the scenery, but you don't know that you are also the scenery in the eyes of others.

In August of the 7th year of Lin'an, the Wa Kingdom and Ryukyu, who had been a vassal state of Dayi, submitted a surrender letter to Dayi, willing to become a subject country of Dayi and present a valuable tribute.

At the beginning of September, Dayi agreed to send Qiu Jian, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, Wan Qichen, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Shaoqing of Honglu Temple as envoys to the Wa Kingdom and Ryukyu.

The envoys brought thousands of elite soldiers across the sea to visit the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus.

At the end of September, news came that a new agreement had been signed, and that the envoy would return to the capital with the imperial families of the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus, pay tribute, and re-engrave the names of the subject countries on the heavenly stone in front of the Imperial Palace.

For this, the whole country celebrates.

At the beginning of October, the East China Sea was still in hot weather, and the king of Hejian was leading troops to patrol, which was his duty, and his identity jade crown.

"Lord Wang, Lord Qiu, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, has already arrived in the palace and waited, saying that he has something important to discuss with you." The guards hurried over and reported to the king of the river.

The strong, tall, and reckless King Hejian looked calm, as if he had already known about the matter: "Okay, go back."

A few days ago, a secret letter came from the capital, which was sent by Wang Zhange side by side.

The bandits in the East China Sea are one of the most serious problems, and the king of Hejian guards them all the year round, one is to prevent people from other countries from invading Dayi, and the other is this endless stream of bandits.

Some of these pirates are exiles from other countries, and some are fugitive felons from Dayi, colluding with each other, which can be described as burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.

Earlier, there were officials who colluded with the bandits and ransacked several villages along the coast, and by the time the king of Hejian arrived with his troops, it was already a mess and rivers of blood.

Later, the king of Hejian carried out rectification, which once made some officials in the capital restless, and told the first emperor that the king of Hejian had a heart of disobedience, but fortunately, all of this was supported by His Majesty, and successfully made the East China Sea peaceful for so many years.

But the sudden letter some time ago made the East China Sea fall into a strange atmosphere again, and the king of Hejian didn't want to be passive, or he could only take the initiative to attack and strangle everything in the cradle.

In the palace of the king of the river, the king of the river dismounted, and a guard stepped forward and walked forward.

The king of the river did not stop all the way, and directly entered the front hall, and on the guest seat in the front hall, Qiu Blade, who was dressed in a dark robe, was quietly drinking tea, heard the footsteps, raised his eyes and looked over, and immediately got up.

"The Blade has seen the King of the River."

If you just look at the enemy blade, it is indeed rude, but as soon as the king of the river came, it seemed that he was much more normal, people, it really needs to be compared.

"Hatred Blade? You're the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard? The king of Hejian had a calm face, and sat on the main throne and poured himself a cup of tea without paying attention to it, like a cow drinking water.

Qiu Blade was respectful from beginning to end: "Exactly, Qiu Blade is here with the Holy Secret Decree, please check it out with the prince."

As he spoke, he took out the well-preserved envelope from his bosom and handed it to the King of the River, who just glanced at him and took it calmly.

After a while, King Hejian put the letter on the table: "Since it is His Majesty's order, the minister will naturally agree, but what will the deputy commander use to help this king?"

"Lord Wang, now there are three thousand Praetorian Guards left, as well as five royal shadow guards, plus the army to which the prince belongs, which is enough to complete this operation."

Naturally, Qiu Blade had already said it in advance, and few people really knew about this matter, so what he wanted was a surprise.

"The Royal Shadow Guard? My nephew is really willing, in this case, this king needs a day, and arranges many things, and then we set out, I want to see what the hell these people are doing. ”

"Yes, lord."

In October of the 7th year of Lin'an, King Hejian and Qiu Jian, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, led his troops to clean up the islands inhabited by large and small pirates in the East China Sea, and harvested huge wealth, and even goods from distant places such as Persia.

It turned out that the merchants did not know that there were pirates in this area, and when they came here, they were plundered, and their bodies were hidden forever under the East China Sea, and those precious goods were taken by these pirates for themselves.

The man who commanded the pirates was killed, and only the scattered pirates escaped, and the king of the river did not kill them all, he wanted to see who else was in cahoots with the pirates.

"Lord Wang, I searched for this over there just now, why don't you take a look first?" The guards presented several letters to the King of the River, but the envelopes were all rotten, apparently forcibly opened.

Dressed in armor, the king of Hejian put the heavy sword in his hand beside him and took the letter: "Where is Xue Ping?"

This pirate leader, speaking of which, has also dealt with the King of the River a lot, and it is not that the King of the River has not arrested him before, but he has been able to escape every time.

If this man is not a pirate leader, then the pirate is a malleable talent.

"It was searched from Xue Ping, and his subordinates didn't open it, so they took it directly, and they came to find the prince." The guards saw that the king of the river had no other orders, so he retreated.

After reading it, the king of Hejian snorted coldly, so that he didn't give the letter to anyone else, but took it himself and carried it in his arms.

There are quite a few islands inhabited by bandits, and most of them are in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it were not for the soldiers to divide into two ways and go ashore separately, I am afraid it would be really difficult to deal with.

And the most time-wasting thing is the island where Xue Ping lives, but this time it's a pity that Xue Ping escaped, it should be said that the person behind Xue Ping is really sharp.

It is also estimated that Qiu Jian has not returned to the capital for such a long time, so there is some movement in the capital, and it has been transmitted to the pirates.

"Lord Wang, the search is almost over, but what should some women do?" The one who came was the enemy blade.

"Woman?" King Hejian frowned, in the past two years, the East China Sea has not heard of shame: "Where?"

Qiu Jian has always had a serious personality, and he has always been cold-faced and deliberately close, but at this moment, the King of Hejian felt anger from the atmosphere around him.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Qiu Blade made himself able to calm down: "They are all young women, they have been checked just now, some have been looted, some have been bought, and some have to be sent over."

"In Dayi, it is a crime to openly buy and sell human beings, where did they buy them from? Where did they come from? ”

This incident happened in the East China Sea, and it really made the king of Hejian feel unhappy.

"Some of them were sold by their parents, some were sold by people's teeth, and as for the gifts, they should have made a deal with others, so they were sent."

Qiu Jian said as he led the way to the King of the River, this was the first time he had seen it, even if some had heard of it before, but seeing it with his own eyes was always different from hearing it.

All the women and their servants had been gathered on the east side of the island, a flat place, and there were kind-looking guards counting how they had come here, where they were from, and how they had come here.
