Xu Yi, who asked this, had already changed into a red blue robe, his hair was meticulously combed, facing the sea, leaving Zhao Chen with an elegant side face.

It's just that hearing these words in Zhao Chen's ears made Zhao Chen frown.

Li Yuan once asked him the same question, Sun Simiao asked him, and even Lao Qin, Cheng Yanjin and Lao Li Gang asked him.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the topic that had been forgotten for a long time was brought up again today, and the person who mentioned this would be a person with a special identity like Xu Yi.

Speaking of Xu Yi, it was the person next to Li Er, Zhao Chen listened to Xu Yi, and suddenly asked this, and he was a little suspicious that it was not ordered by Li Er in private.

"What do you think?" Thinking that it might be Li Er, Zhao Chen couldn't help but turn his head, looked at Xu Yi's side face with interest, and suddenly asked without answering.

"Uh, this subordinate doesn't know!" was asked by Zhao Chen, Xu Yi, who was originally facing the sea, suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Chen who was looking at him, perhaps seeing that Zhao Chen's gaze was not quite right, so he was slightly stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "Xia Guan just thought of Xu Fu back then, so he suddenly asked about Hou Ye!" ”

"The so-called immortal mountain is just used by the world to deceive fools!" Hearing Xu Yi's words, Zhao Chen suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, and then patted Xu Yi's shoulder with a stunned expression, and said: "It's ridiculous that there will always be some people in this world who will be gullible!" ”

"Master Hou thinks that the First Emperor is that fool?" Heard Zhao Chen. This blunt explanation of the expression on the face. I couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a moment, and then. Looking at Zhao Chen, he asked.

"So what do you think?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he looked at Xu Yi with interest, and couldn't help but chuckle, and said: "Believing the words of Xu Fu and a monk, he would whimsically want to live forever, isn't it just a fool and incorrigible!" ”

"Incorrigible stupid?" As soon as Zhao Chen's words came out, the expression on Xu Yi's face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and his mouth repeated Zhao Chen's words. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Master Hou's words are aptly described!" ”

“？？” Originally, I thought that Xu Yi had received Li Er's meaning, and asked him again in the name of Xu Fu here, but when he heard Xu Yi's words, he was suddenly a little confused.

The two stood in place, facing the sea, and talked for a while. Regarding the fact that the first emperor sent Xu Fu to take the boys and girls to the overseas immortal mountain, it was about half an hour later. The two of them then headed towards the harbor.

In the harbor at this moment, hundreds of ships are quietly docked, all according to the shipbuilding drawings given to Li Er by Zhao Chen. manufactured.

The hull is much larger than the current Wuya ship of the Tang Dynasty, but it is compared with the volume of the treasure ship. It was suddenly much smaller.

However, the volume is not as good as the treasure ship. The structure inside is almost exactly the same as that of a treasure ship, the same four floors, and the bottom floor is where the sailor's gate stays.

The second floor is where fresh water and food are for the crew, the third floor is where the crew rests, and the fourth floor is the deck crew of the ship.

The masts of the treasure ship are twelve masts, and, most importantly, the sails of the treasure ship are all made of hard sails, and the ships in front of me are all soft sails that can be raised and lowered freely.

In the harbor, there are also soldiers who are specially responsible for guarding the ships, but Zhao Chen looked at the expressions of these people, even if he didn't need to be reminded, he should have guessed the origin of these people.

It is estimated that in the entire army of the Tang Dynasty, there are only a hundred horsemen, and when they look at anyone, they are almost like occupational diseases, and they always have a skeptical gaze.

"Not bad!" With Xu Yi and the two of them, stepping on one of the ships, Zhao Chen looked inside and outside the ship, up and down, and then stood on the deck, looked at Xu Yi beside him and said.

"I can't hide it from Master Hou!" When Xu Yi heard Zhao Chen's words, he immediately grinned, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "Since the lower official received His Majesty's order, he rushed to Putai County without stopping for a moment, and began to step up the supervision of shipbuilding, and he didn't take a good look during the period!" ”

"And that's not all!" When he said this, Xu Yi's face suddenly appeared with a look of triumph, and he looked at Zhao Chen and said: "The people who are needed also took the initiative to tell Zheng County Ling on the day the official arrived, and he has been slowly trained with the supervision of the ship!" ”

More than a hundred ships, that is, almost two thousand sailors are needed!

And before, Zhao Chen had been troubled by this, and he didn't know how to solve it, after all, the people he brought this time, except for the members of the Flying Tiger Army, the others were all landlubbers.

What's more, the team he led this time only adds up to so many people, and its combat effectiveness is very low, so it is impossible to pick a small half of them!

However, what he didn't expect was that Xu Yi had already found Minfu in advance when they arrived, and the matter that Zhao Chen felt was a headache had been perfectly solved.

In this case, as soon as the army arrived, they could set off directly, eliminating the need for the middle, and temporarily training the people, which bought them a long time.

"You did a good job in this matter!" When Zhao Chen heard Xu Yi's words, his heart suddenly relaxed, and then, when he saw the smug color on Xu Yi's face, he didn't think about it, so he said: "Go back and wait to return to Chang'an, I believe Your Majesty will not treat you badly!" ”

"Master Hou!" However, Zhao Chen's voice fell, and he thought that Xu Yi would be excited when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the look on Xu Yi's face suddenly looked at Zhao Chen with a little embarrassment, and said: "Actually, Xia Guan did all this because he wanted to have a reluctant invitation to Hou Ye!" ”

"Say!" Zhao Chen was in a good mood, and when he heard Xu Yi's sudden words, the expression on his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he looked at Xu Yi and said.

"This time, the Hou Ye will take people to Goguryeo, can you also bring the lower and lower officials with you?" Xu Yi, who was still a little hesitant just now, almost didn't hesitate when he heard Zhao Chen's words at this time. looked at Zhao Chen and said dryly.

“… Do you want to go to Goguryeo? Zhao Chen originally thought that Xu Yi would beg him for something else. However, what I didn't expect was. It turned out that he wanted to beg him to take him to Goguryeo with him.

"Yes!" The expression on Xu Yi's face was completely solemn at this time, and when a pair of eyes looked straight at Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen could even feel a different look flickering in it.

I can't tell what kind of gaze it is, however, when I look at it in Zhao Chen's eyes, it makes Zhao Chen's heart. For some reason, I was slightly touched!

"Why?" Zhao Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, staring at Xu Yi without blinking, and asked in a tone full of doubts: "Do you know how dangerous it is to go to Goguryeo this time?" It is no exaggeration to describe it as a journey of nine deaths and one life! ”

"Xia Guan naturally understands!" Zhao Chen's words fell, and Xu Yi suddenly chuckled at Zhao Chen, suddenly. He took a long breath and said, "However, Xia Guan still wants to invite Hou Ye to be able to take Xia Guan with him!" ”

"As for the reason!" When Xu Yi said this. There was a pause, then he took another deep breath. Looking at Zhao Chen this time, he said: "Because of the lower officials, I want to go to Beijing in person." Converge back to the bones on the lower official ancestor! ”

I heard Xu Yi suddenly say that he had to insist on going to Goguryeo. Zhao Chen's heart had already begun to have doubts, until this time, Xu Yi personally told him the reason, and Zhao Chen was suddenly a little shocked and couldn't speak.

This is so surprising that he would meet the descendants of those soldiers back then, and this person is still one of them!

It's just that while I was surprised in my heart, I suddenly thought of a possibility, is it because of Xu Yi's identity that he was sent by Li Er to supervise the shipbuilding!

Seeing Zhao Chen's surprised look, Xu Yi thought that Zhao Chen was suspicious of his words, so he looked at Zhao Chen and explained in detail.

It turned out that the ancestor in Xu Yi's mouth was his grandfather, who was born in the Guanzhong Military Mansion back then, and later followed Emperor Yang and went to Goguryeo for the first time.

Later, when he was in Goguryeo, because he was Laihu'er's subordinate, he followed Laihu'er and attacked Pyongyang City!

However, later it was wiped out, the escort of the Ninth Route Army, all survived, and the other 300,000 troops were all captured by Goguryeo.

"Actually, there are many people like Xia Guan!" When Xu Yi said this, he smiled bitterly at Zhao Chen with an embarrassed face, and said, "If they knew that Hou Ye was secretly going to Goguryeo this time, they would definitely all come here!" ”

"If that's the case, Benhou estimates that we will all die in Goguryeo!" Hearing Xu Yi's words, Zhao Chen didn't feel good, standing on the deck, looking in the direction of Liaodong, he suddenly sighed, and said without looking back.

“… Hou Ye agreed? Xu Yi's head turned quickly, Zhao Chen only said let, Xu Yi reacted immediately, and looked at Zhao Chen with a surprised expression.

"As long as you can explain it clearly to Your Majesty yourself, there is no problem here in Benhou!" In this case, let alone Zhao Chen, it is estimated that even Cheng Yanjin or anyone will probably not be able to refuse Xu Yi's request!

His ancestors, who were built into a Jingguan by Goguryeo, as long as you imagine it, it will be difficult to sleep and eat, and when you encounter such an opportunity, if you don't fight for it with your life, it will be strange!

"That's right, Master Hou!" After getting Zhao Chen's approval, Xu Yi seemed very excited, and when he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at Zhao Chen and said: "This time I went to Goguryeo, if the Hou Ye didn't have a guide, the lower officials would be able to find a few!" ”

The matter of the guide, after all, can only be found in Liaodong, and Zhao Chen has also thought about the matter of the guide in his heart, but at this time, when he heard Xu Yi's words, what was there to hesitate, and even if he agreed.

A person who was a descendant of the soldiers of the past, such a person, the guide he said in his mouth, is much more reliable than the one he went to Liaodong and looked for it randomly!

Promised Xu Yi, and waited patiently in Putai County for a few days, and waited until Xu Yi's last two ships had been completed, and the army from Luoyang finally arrived in Putai County non-stop.

Subsequently, everyone abandoned their horses and boats, and a group of more than 100 ships, carrying more than 5,000 troops, slowly sailed away from the docks of Putai County under the guidance of the treasure ship, and headed all the way to Liaodong.

And in Liaodong, after the Lingnan Navy Division with Cheng Chumo, after the two armies converge, they will rush directly to Goguryeo! (To be continued.) )
