Li Shimin returned to Chang'an with several princes, and took away those Xuanwei with him.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin issued two decrees, the first order was to set up a new department, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, the firearms superintendent! The person in charge of the firearms superintendent was a name they had never heard of before, Zhang Shan!

The second decree is to order the Marquis of Wushuang, at the beginning of October, to go to Dengzhou in person to improve the Tang Dock! Ordered the Marquis of Wushuang to build a fleet that can show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty within a year! For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Every sentence of the emperor, there will be many people trying to interpret it, for example, now, who in the court does not know that His Royal Highness King Wei is very peepy at the position of the prince, and now he suddenly transferred the prince's right-hand man to Dengzhou, could it be that he is biased towards the king of Wei?

When Su Bai received the news, it was called speechless! He never expected that the advice he gave would end up on his head. Fortunately, Li Shimin also thought that Su Bai must not know anything about ship repair, so he specially sent twenty of the most powerful shipwrights in the Ministry of Engineering to accompany him.

At the same time, he said that as long as the ship is repaired, money is definitely not a problem!

At that time, many courtiers were all opposed, thinking that Li Shimin was a stinky move, although now Datang has won the Turks, but has the victory over the Turks directly brought any benefits to the Datang? Not really!

Now Datang's foundation is not thick enough, and it can't withstand Li Shimin's squandering! Besides, Datang now has no direct enemies at sea, so why build big ships? There are even many people who are wondering, could it be that His Majesty has begun to be greedy for pleasure and plans to build a big ship and go to the canal to play?

Naturally, Li Shimin has to deal with these things, and Su Bai doesn't need to worry about it, the thing he is more worried about now is that he has not been back for long, he is going out again, and he doesn't know how long it will take to come back this time.

After Wang Liu heard the news, he directly pulled Zhao Yue'er to find Su Bai, and bluntly said that this time he had to let Zhao Yue'er follow no matter what! Su Bai looked at Zhao Yue'er's blushing face, and knew that Wang Liu must have popularized some knowledge to her again!

Su Bai sighed, what's wrong with the heart? I'm still a kid!

After Wang Xiaobao heard the news, he silently put down the work in his hand, prepared a big bag, and came to Mantou Mountain to live directly.

After hearing the news, Wang Fatzi was the same, he came to Mantou Mountain to live directly, and said that he was going to Dengzhou to do business, so he went with Su Bai and them, and he also saved the cost of hiring Bai Yulou!

Su Bai didn't know what the two of them thought, they were all big men, needless to say if they were moved, just put it in their hearts.

After Li Chengqian received the news that was unfavorable to him, not only did he not get angry, but laughed lightly, Gonggong Qiu was a little worried, and thought that his prince was angry, and just wanted to go over to comfort him, he heard Li Chengqian laugh.

"Our first step has been successful!"

Father-in-law Qiu looked at Li Chengqian with some doubts, but saw that Li Chengqian seemed to have finished speaking, and he didn't say the next word, and Father-in-law Qiu didn't dare to ask, but lowered his head even lower.

Li Chengqian's mind couldn't help but think of the days when he was raising his legs in Juxian County, in those days, every night, Su Bai would always pull him to say a lot of things, some of which he could understand, and some of which he couldn't. Some of them didn't understand at first, but now they do!

For example, what Su Bai said before is that if you want to achieve great things, you must have military power in your hands! At the beginning, Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "You already have 10,000 elites of the Ghost King Army in your hands now, aren't you satisfied?" ”

He clearly remembered that Su Bai just looked at himself and laughed lightly, and said casually, "This is just the beginning"

When this news came, ordinary people would only think that this was the Emperor who had transferred the Wushuang Marquis far away! Isn't this weakening of one's own power? But they didn't think about what those ships were going to do when they were built, and who was going to command them when the time came!

Li Chengqian smiled very happily, gently rubbed the ankle that had been injured before, looked in the direction of Juxian and said softly, "The luck of this palace"

Li Tai was also very pleasantly surprised when he heard the news, although the staff of the palace had clearly analyzed the stakes for him, he was still very happy! Needless to say, he already had a faint fear of Su Bai.

When you assassinate someone multiple times in a row, not only does that person not take the slightest damage, but his status grows higher and higher!

And when IQ, EQ, force, and so on completely suppress you, do you feel fear? By the way, I forgot to mention just now, that person is still your mortal enemy! Never die!

He only wants to do as much as he can during the time that Su Bai left Li Chengqian, and try to expand his influence in the court as much as possible! Now there is some news that the crown prince's leg is pretending to be lame, just to test the loyalty of his subordinates!

This made many wall grasses choose to wait and see neutrally, instead of throwing themselves into their arms! Moreover, there are many people who claim to be upright gentlemen and have established themselves as long-term heirs and joined Li Chengqian's camp! The only good news that this news brought to Li Tai was that the people who had joined his camp before were more united! No one wants Li Chengqian to ascend to the throne in the future, otherwise just thinking with their toes, they all know what their fate will be!

Juxian County, the second day of October, it is advisable to marry and travel

The Ghost King Army only recruited 2,000 people, and most of them were new troops, Su Bai went to Dengzhou this time, and only took 2,000 veterans with him, Han Laohu and Wang Qingyang were left in Juxian by him. The one who commanded the two thousand ghost king army was Cheng Chumo!

Cheng Chumo is now a captain in the Ghost King Army, of course he can't command so many people according to his rank, but this is Su Bai's order! In the Ghost King Army, Su Bai's orders are greater than everything!

Sarilang and Zhao Yue'er are now on their way to Dengzhou, and with them, there are a hundred top masters from Baiyulou! As long as they don't meet Wang Xi and the like, they will definitely be able to run rampant on this river and lake! There were also Wang Xiaobao and Wang Fugui who walked with them, and there was no accident in mind.

Now Su Bai feels a little incredible, he can actually reach so many people in the rivers and lakes!

There can be no women on the march, and of course Su Bai will not make an exception for this kind of thing, so he asked Bai Yulou to escort the two of them on the path. Su Bai led the Ghost King Army on the official road, and if nothing else, he should have arrived before them.

On this trip, because he was not going to march and fight, Su Bai did not wear the ghost king armor, he was wearing a snow-white daqi, a snow-white fox fur around his neck, a azure chivalrous robe in the daze, a pair of calfskin boots under his feet, a sword with more decoration than practicality pinned to his waist, and a tuanyu jade pendant hanging on the other side, a typical rich boy look.

Whoever sees him, I'm afraid they can't believe that this is the unparalleled marquis of the Tang Dynasty!

The two thousand ghost kings behind him looked at Su Bai with burning eyes, it was the whole person who led them to enter and exit seven times on the grassland, and even captured Jieli Khan alive! After returning to Chang'an, not to mention His Majesty's reward, just the reward given to them by the Hou Ye alone is enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing! Not to mention the preferential treatment given to their children!

This time, Su Bai once again led them on the expedition, although it was not to fight, but they believed it! As long as you follow Master Hou, meritorious service or something will definitely not be a problem!

Wang Xing and the others were standing not far from Zhichong Mansion, Wang Liu's face was already full of tears, Wang Mingzhu, who could already say two words, muttered "brother, brother" in his mouth, Wang Xing and the old man's performance was much stronger, looking at Su Bai on horseback, worried, more proud!

Wang Erniu, this kid, didn't come back, because Su Bai didn't let him come back, otherwise he would definitely cry and cry again, which would be annoying!

After grandma learned that Su Bai was going to Dengzhou, she didn't know what she remembered, or what, her interest became low all day, but she was worried about her grandfather. That is, now Su Bai is about to travel, otherwise grandma is afraid that she won't even go out of the gate.

The whole family knew that Grandma must have something on her mind, but she didn't take the initiative to say it, and they didn't want to ask.

"It's auspicious!"

Finally, after the sun had just risen to the top of the mountain, the gentleman who had come to the house shouted loudly.

Su Bai stood under the horse, bowed deeply in the direction of Wang Xing and the others, and when he got up, his face was already replaced with a resolute expression. The ghost king army behind him saw the change in Su Bai's face, and his face was also straight.

Su Bai turned over and got on his horse and shouted, "The whole army is leaving!" ”

"All the troops are leaving!"

"All the troops are leaving!"

The herald rode his war horse and ran behind him, conveying Su Bai's orders as he ran!

An army of 2,000 people and a logistics team of 1,000 people went in the direction of Dengzhou in the distance. Wang Liu's tears couldn't be stopped, and his mother was worried, from Chang'an to Dengzhou, not to mention thousands of miles!

In the direction of Chang'an, Li Shimin stood in the Taiji Palace, looking in the direction of Juxian County, Wang Xi stood not far away, and said softly, "At this hour, the Wushuang Marquis should have set off", Li Shimin nodded, and then asked without looking back, "Have you seen that map?" ”

Wang Xi said softly: "The old slave has already seen it." Li Shimin seemed to be asking himself, and as if he was asking Wang Xidao, "Tell me how a child in kindergarten can draw this kind of map?" I even have a map of overseas."

Wang Xi said softly, "Wushuang Hou's memory is amazing, maybe he has read it in a book!" Li Shimin laughed self-deprecatingly, "Although I don't read many books, I definitely have a lot!" There are indeed a lot of books about the land customs in my Tang Dynasty! But when is there a taste of the land overseas? Who has the ability to draw such a map across the boundless sea? ”

When he said the last sentence, Li Shimin almost roared!

There is such a thing as suspicion, if there is a first time, there will be a second time, and with a second time, there will be countless times!

Chang'an, East Palace

Li Chengqian was sitting behind a low table, with a glass of sake and two plates of side dishes in front of him, which was simple and outrageous, and it was hard to imagine that this was the treatment of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, at this hour, the Marquis of Wushuang should have already set off!"

Gonggong Qiu whispered behind Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian nodded lightly, picked up the wine glass and said softly, "This glass, just respect my ugly cow brother!" I wish my virtuous brother a smooth journey! After speaking, he drank the wine in his glass.

Father-in-law Qiu walked to the low table, gently picked up the wine jug, and filled the wine glass again.

After the wine was full, he retreated silently behind Li Chengqian again, and said softly, "Your Highness, I already have eyebrows for those candidates for the dead, and I will initially train a hundred people to come out, how about it?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded lightly and said, "Brother Xian, are you ready for everyone?" "Two days ago, Wushuang Hou has recommended two people to come over, and they should be all masters!" The murderous aura on his body, the old slave felt uncomfortable standing beside him"

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "How is it uncomfortable? Qiu Gonggong smiled, "It's as if someone is pricking the old slave with a needle!" Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said, "So you are really a master?" ”

Gonggong Qiu smiled and said, "It shouldn't be fake", Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Let's start training today"

"Yes!"

Chang'an, the palace of the king of Wei

"Lord Wang, the Wushuang Marquis has already set off for Dengzhou, this time the Wushuang Marquis went to Dengzhou to build a ship, I'm afraid that His Majesty already has the idea of establishing the Tang Dynasty Navy!"

A staff member said softly.

Li Tai sat at the head and said softly, "My Tang Dynasty has always been weak, and besides, my Tang Dynasty does not have many enemies on the water, how could my father work so hard to create that useless thing?" ”

Another staff member said in a deep voice: "My subordinates think that this should have something to do with the newly established firearms superintendent!" The firearms superintendent, and the building of the fleet, both happened after His Majesty returned from Juxian, and it is difficult for us not to link these two things together."

Li Tai nodded silently, frowning tightly.

Li Shimin is extremely concerned about the matter of the firearms supervisor, and even he, the most favored prince, can't find out the inside story at all, but speculates based on the name that it should have something to do with firearms! But what good can that kind of firecracker fireworks used for celebration be?

The staff member who spoke before spoke again, "It doesn't matter what it does, our top priority now is not to let Wushuang Hou complete it so easily!" Now the status of the Wushuang Marquis in His Majesty's heart is too high! This mission, no matter what, will not allow him to succeed! ”

"That's right!"

"yes, do you have any good ideas?"

For a while, a discussion began in the Wei Palace, how to stop Su Bai.

Su Bai rode forward slowly on the four-hoofed snow beast, his eyes swept over the woods in front of him from time to time, and countless masters of the White Jade Building inside were clearing all obstacles for Su Bai!

Su Bai yawned a lot, he slept a little late last night, and he didn't have much energy today.

Looking back in the direction of Chang'an, Su Bai chuckled and muttered, "Let's go to Dengzhou, fish and dragon dance!" ”
