On the sixth day of the 25th lunar month of Shaoxing, the first ship of the Huiyi fleet left Quanzhou Bay in the faint mist facing the rising sun.

Subsequently, under the command of Shen Jin, the sea ships and warships loaded with goods left the port one after another at a quarter of an hour's interval according to their numbers, and the whole process was orderly, unhurried, and everything was smooth, smooth and natural.

At noon, Shenzhou lifted anchor and prepared to leave the port.

On this special day, Qingchen finally put down the child and rushed to the port to see him off, he had nothing to say at home on weekdays, but there were thousands of words when he parted, and he couldn't finish it.

"Wait for me at home, and if there is no accident, I will be back soon." Yang Congyi looked at the dust with tears in his eyes and said his last goodbye before boarding.

"No matter when my husband comes back, I will always be there, take care of my home, and wait for you to come back!" Qingchen lifted his sleeves and covered his eyes, leaving tears.

"Take care of yourself, I'm gone!" After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he turned around and walked onto the bridge.

With an order, Shenzhou slowly shored the shore.

Yang Congyi and Tang Xun stood on the deck and waved softly to the shore to say goodbye to their loved ones.

"Mrs. Zun's complexion is much better than before."

Tang Xun suddenly whispered on the side, Yang Congyi heard some strange smell from that tone, and he didn't know how to reply, so he pretended not to hear it.

A quarter of an hour later, Shenzhou left the port, turned around smoothly, and slowly sailed out of Quanzhou Bay with the long oars paddling, and the harbor behind him gradually blurred.

The sea breeze was blowing, the clothes were fluttering, and the slightest coolness was cold, and Tang Xun, who had just left Hong Kong, was a little worried.

"Look at what, the wind is so strong, don't catch a cold."

Yang Congyi approached her and followed her line of sight into the distance, and the sea was empty.

"Are you afraid of going to sea this time?" Tang Xun didn't look back.

"What are you afraid of, it's not that you haven't been to sea."

"What if I can't go back?" Tang Xun asked again.

"This has just gone to sea, don't say anything unlucky, many ships are still on the shore, and spreading it will shake the morale of the army." Yang Congyi chuckled.

Seeing that Tang Xun stopped talking, he then said: "As long as you go to sea and follow the planned itinerary, there will be no big accidents, and you will definitely come back safely, so don't think too much." ”

"Brother Yang, are you only having these words to tell me?" Tang Xun turned his head, his eyes staring at each other tightly, meaningful.

Yang Congyi was looked at by her, and suddenly felt a little weak, hurriedly snorted, and said with a smile: "No, I have other things to discuss with you, it's windy outside, let's talk inside?" ”

Tang Xun thought for a while, then turned around and walked towards the cabin, followed by Yang Congyi.

"Do you know this sword?" A sword wrapped in a delicate scabbard appeared in front of Tang Xun's eyes.

The long sword was unsheathed, and there was an exclamation.

"Isn't this my sword? Where did you find it? Holding the sword in his hand, Tang Xun was pleasantly surprised.

"When I went to Huaixi to recruit, I went to Shouchun by the way, but I didn't expect that after so many years, the pawnshop was still there, and I redeemed it for you by the way." Yang Congyi replied casually.

"How much money it spent, I'll give it to you." Tang Xun returned the sword into the sheath.

As soon as he heard this, Yang Congyi was speechless.

"Just kidding, Brother Yang, don't take it seriously, I don't have any money for you." Tang Xun's eyes gradually became gentle when he looked at each other, which was incompatible with her man's outfit.

"Don't say you don't have any money, even if you give more money, I can't ask for it, I've known you for so many years, a few dollars can be measured?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed.

"There's something I want to tell you in advance." Tang Xun suddenly became serious.

"What?"

"I don't want to live anymore." Tang Xun took the sword and said calmly.

"What?" Yang Congyi was shocked, snatched the sword from her hand, and grabbed her wrist tightly, his eyes full of doubt and horror.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing here?" Tang Xun struggled a few times, but he didn't break free, and he was also puzzled.

"Why don't you want to live anymore, you tell me clearly! Live well, what can't you think of, you tell me, we started with martial arts, how many years have we been now, what are the difficult things you can tell me, is it not good to live? Yang Congyi was very excited, Tang Xun was his first true friend in this world, and it meant a lot to him, how could she die?

"Let it go, you're hurting me. I don't want to live, I just want to die, can't I be made clear? Although Tang Xun was complaining, his words were full of tenderness.

As soon as he saw the other party like this, Yang Congyi immediately realized that he might have mistaken the problem, so he could only let go of the hand he was holding tightly in embarrassment, and for a while, there was nowhere to put that hand.

"I don't want to go back to Lin'an alive, and I don't want to be an official anymore, I want to live quietly in a place where no one knows me. I told you before, remember? Tang Xun gently rubbed his wrist.

Yang Congyi nodded, she did say this, and he deceived her with a white lie at that time and took her away from the desert island. What she has experienced in Qiongzhou over the years, she has hardly told him, and when she asked a few times, she has been taken by her, thinking that it should be a very difficult time, and it is really cruel for her to live like this all the time, and now she wants to retire, which is also reasonable.

"Okay, I've got your back. If there is no suitable place, I suggest you go to Liuqiu, the environment is very good, the four seasons are like spring, and it is very suitable for a secluded life. ”

"Will you also go to beg? How is Mrs. Zun placed? Tang Xun turned his head to look into the other party's eyes, vowing to ask an answer.

"Qingchen will also go, and when Hui Yi comes back, I will send her to Liuqiu, if you don't mind, we can live together." Yang Congyi's eyes were firm, and he told himself that this was a real promise, and he must never break his promise, and he can never break his promise again.

"I don't mind if it's fake, but if she wants to, I'm not unacceptable." Tang Xun lowered his eyes, and suddenly felt a little gentle. She's twenty-seven, what else can she mind if she's already there? If you can't accept it, I'm afraid you'll end up alone.

"Okay, then it's decided, when the fleet comes back, you can go and beg, and I'll arrange the rest."

"Thank you, Brother Yang." Tang Xun grabbed Yang Congyi's hand infinitely gently.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, the last warship sailed out of Quanzhou Bay.

At this point, all the more than 100 ships of the Hui Yi fleet left the port, set sail, stretched for hundreds of miles before and after, and drifted to the south by the strong north wind.

Half a month later, the fleet arrived in Qiongzhou and rested in Wanning for five days to replenish fresh water and supplies.

After the success of the first Hui Yi that year, the imperial court sent Tang Xun to Qiongzhou to build a port in Wanning to provide some convenience for the Hui Yi fleet. When she came to Qiongzhou again, she did not get off the boat, let alone land.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the fleet set sail again, and according to the chart, the sails were fully opened, heading straight down to the South Sea.

Ten days later, on the fourth day of the first month of the 26th year of Shaoxing, the fleet successfully arrived at Vijaya, the capital of the Champa State, and the fleet anchored on the coast and rested for ten days.

Yang Congyi, as the envoy of Hui Yi, brought the gifts that had been prepared long ago and the Great Song Dynasty to meet the king of Zhancheng.

The two countries have established a relatively stable relationship since the first return to Yi, Zhancheng has repeatedly sent envoys to Lin'an to pay tribute, and the Great Song Dynasty has sent envoys again, and the whole country of Zhancheng has been treated as a guest and given Yang Congyi the highest treatment as a foreign guest, and he did not dare to be sloppy in the whole process.

After a day of banquet and drinking in the palace, the national teacher of Zhancheng personally accompanied Yang Congyi for three days, and this national teacher was none other than the Mr. Zhang who had cooperated with him many years ago.

Mr. Zhang made great efforts and made great contributions when the current king seized the throne, plus he was proficient in many Chinese, especially proficient in Chinese, had a deep understanding of Chinese culture, understood the Great Song Dynasty, could speak to Lin'an, and could seek benefits for Champa, so he won the national * responsibility, rose step by step, and was promoted from a strategist to a distinguished national teacher in a few years, and could influence a country's foreign affairs and internal affairs.

During the three-day tour, Mr. Zhang kept asking Yang Congyi about the current situation in Lin'an, because he hadn't been to Lin'an for three years, and he didn't know if the high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty he had met before were still in the court.

Yang Congyi's reply to him made him quite disappointed, in three years, the senior officials in the Great Song Dynasty had already rotated, and almost all the people he had met before were gone, except for the prime minister Qin Hui, but Qin Hui looked down on Nanban, and he didn't have much friendship with him, and he didn't even say a word.

There is no old person in Lin'an, and the person in front of him, not seen for a few years, the official position has risen, from a small Hui Yi to join the army to represent the Song Dynasty Imperial Court, the future is unlimited, as long as you have a good relationship with him, you will go to Lin'an in the future to have a request, and you will not be smeared, as long as you can communicate the relationship between the two countries, no one can take away the position of national teacher.

So the shrewd Mr. Zhang flattered the young Yang Congyi in every way, gold, silver, jewelry, house beauties, everything, Yang Congyi did not refuse, and accepted them all, because he also asked Mr. Zhang for something.

The geographical location of the city is very good, the east is bordered by the sea, the north is connected to Li Yue, the west is based on Zhenla, and almost all the materials and information from the south to the north are collected and transited here, and maybe in the future they will have to do business with Li Yue and Zhenla, the Great Song Dynasty needs to gain a firm foothold here, and needs a large enough land.

I heard the old general of the Xuanwei Army say that the place run by Zhang Biao has a lot more people than a few years ago, but the land expansion is restricted and almost imprisoned.

When he brought up the land issue, Mr. Zhang immediately patted his chest and agreed, and bluntly wrapped it up in him.

After resting for three days in Vijaya, Yang Congyi left the capital to inspect the first piece of land of the Great Song Dynasty in Zhancheng on behalf of the imperial court, and the Xuanwei army remained in the camp.

The camp is much larger than before, with patches of fertile fields and houses connected to each other, and the style of the whole camp is very different from that of Vijaya, revealing a strong Song Dynasty style.

In the camp, Yang Congyi saw Zhang Biao, who he hadn't seen for many years, he had changed a lot, his words and deeds were no longer the appearance of catching heads, and he was more mature and stable.

Garrisoned in the city for eight years, not only self-sufficient, but also gained a firm foothold in the city, the original 1,000 Xuanwei army also expanded to 2,000 people, in addition, the camp also lived in thousands of families and ordinary people, stayed in the camp, and became a small city.
