Li Kuan returned the grain, alleviated the embarrassment of the Tang Dynasty's lack of food, and handed over the grain and the big ship to Hou Junji, and Li Kuan returned to Chang'an in a carriage after paying the sailors. came out for more than half a month, and now it's close to the beginning of July, I haven't been in the palace during this time, I don't know if the beauty is good, Yuzhang and Tianxiang little girl are okay, Li Kuan can't wait to see them.

On the official road between Luoyang and Chang'an, a carriage is galloping, and the speed of the carriage is very fast, although it is slower than riding a horse, but it is not much worse. Li Kuan estimated that he would be able to rush back to Chang'an in three or four days.

There was nothing to say all the way, Li Kuan just lay in the carriage to rest, he was really tired and half dead for more than half a month, he was unfamiliar with the place, running around on the boundary of the Tang Dynasty, fortunately he was not a road idiot, and the Guanzhong area was quite densely populated, so no one asked for directions. Otherwise, this time may be even longer, although the carriage is bumpy and non-stop, but Li Kuan's balance is very good, but he does not feel uncomfortable.

Li Kuan left, but the mess he left behind made Hou Junji busy for a while, unloading all the food on the ship, because this ship could not fall into the hands of outsiders, Hou Junji had already boarded the ship to check, the weapons loaded on this ship were actually comparable to the city guards of the entire Luoyang City, the door was against the cold light of the eight bull crossbows, and the feather arrows like spears. These things are all sharp weapons in the Tang Army, and there are dozens of them on this ship. If it falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, then with this boat, it will be able to crisscross the rivers, lakes and seas without hindrance.

The first time he saw these weapons, Hou Junji was frightened into a cold sweat. The eight-ox crossbow is a forbidden weapon, all of which are registered, and none of them were produced in the Tang Army. Which force would dare to create such a siege weapon in such a bulk? Is this to be revealed? But after thinking about it, since this thing appeared in the hands of His Royal Highness Li Kuan, the King of Chu, it must have an inseparable connection with the mysterious master behind him, that is, scientists can make eight bull crossbows in batches. So a secret letter quietly set off from Luoyang and hurried towards Chang'an.

Li Kuan didn't know that Hou Junji had sued him. But even if he knew, it didn't matter. Because he was ready to be known by Li Er when he took it out, scientists can't just be rootless! Since you can't find it on land, then make your home on the vast sea! In that way, Li Er will find a reasonable step for himself to find a situation where he can't find any clues when he can't find any clues in Datang. Because Li Kuan was in the huàn of this ship. Thinking about it, the style of this ship is a long-distance warship that Zheng He sailed to the West during the Ming Dynasty, of course, it is not as large as the warships made in the Ming Dynasty, because it still has to sail in inland rivers. It's too big, and if you run aground in the river, everything will be in vain.

In the city of Chang'an. Li Er was looking at the secret fold from Hou Junji, which unmistakably stated the scene he saw at that time, without the slightest embellishment. In other words, he thought that scientists would be a big trouble for Datang, because he also saw that this ship was a sea ship, not an ordinary ship sailing in the river. This shows that scientists are far away from overseas, and such a school is isolated overseas, and it has a lot of advanced technology in its hands. If you rebel, it will be a great disaster. Therefore, he implored Li Er to send Li Xiaogong and Zhang Daliang, two generals who were familiar with water warfare, to lead the most elite sailors of the Tang Dynasty to search overseas and be sure to find the scientists.

Li Er rubbed his eyebrows, why didn't he want to find scientists and take them for his own use, but now that Datang was empty and weak, and the enemies on land were still eyeing him, how could he send soldiers across the ocean to search for scientists? And from this secret fold, it can be seen that the scientists are very military-powerful, but why are all the people who drive the ship from Taiyuan?

And what shocked Li Er the most was that before this ship appeared around Taiyuan, no one in the entire Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions found its trace, this is a warship, such a large volume, sailing thousands of miles in the inland rivers of the Tang Dynasty, and no one found it? This is simply impossible, but it just appeared, which made Li Er a little more jealous of scientists. It's just that this time they sent a boatload of grain to show goodwill to Datang, no matter what conspiracy Yang had, at least now this scientist is still a friend and not an enemy. If the sailor was sent at this time, it would probably cause a misunderstanding, and Li Er would not dare to do so. So he threw the secret fold into a stove on the side, and the blue smoke rose, and the secret fold disappeared into the world. It is precisely because of this incident that Li Erjiang's decision to be ready to celebrate Li Kuan was dismissed by him, so let this matter disappear quietly, don't let people pay attention to the warship, wait for the future Datang to slow down, and at the same time ordered Hou Junji to remove all the eight-ox crossbows on the ship, transport them to the Chang'an City Quartermaster Office, and mark them.

After nearly four days of carriage journey, Li Kuan finally stood in front of Chang'an City again, Mingde Gate, still towering under Chang'an City. People come and go, countless people dressed as villagers, people dressed as merchants, are in and out of this city gate, and even Li Kuan saw a few yellow-haired, green-haired Hu people, these don't know whether they are Zhaowu Jiu or Loulan, in short, they are Caucasians. These people came all the way to Chang'an in order to sell their wines, gorgeous carpets, and colorful glass to the wealthy people of the Tang Dynasty in exchange for money, and then return to their hometowns to become rich people.

When the carriage entered the city, no one greeted him, and Li Kuan was a little sad. I brought back life-saving food, but I kept it silent? But it's just a little unpleasant, he paid voluntarily this time, and it was the first big thing he decided to do after figuring out his identity. Even if no one welcomes it, wouldn't it be nice if you knew! So, he lifted the curtain on the window and looked out at the street.

Although Chang'an is located in the center of the locust plague, it has not been affected much, except for the price of food has risen a little, everything else is still the same. This natural and man-made disaster is a matter for the government to worry about, and these ordinary people just need to live in peace. Therefore, the shops on both sides of the street are still shouting and selling, and the women in red and green are still showing their graceful figures. Attracting the attention of the men who came and went. There are also one or two orchids dressed in tulle and wrapped in small pieces of cloth on their sensitive parts, selling their own wine.

Prosperous, although there are still more than ten years before the prosperity of Zhenguan, Chang'an has already revealed a prosperous atmosphere. This is the largest city in the world in this era, and such prosperity can only be seen in this city now.

The carriage slowly walked away from Suzaku Street towards Miyagi, the scenery along the way made Li Kuan's eyes dizzy, this was the first time he had carefully watched the city, before taking that group of gentlemen, he could only see the dodging crowd, and the flattering smile. Now this is the real life portrayal of Chang'an people, not because of fear or flattery.

"It seems that I really missed a lot! In the future, I can't take those guys to the street anymore, and all they see is fear or flattery, and they can't see the truth at all. "Thinking of those violent generals, one by one rampant and domineering on the street, although it was just those few fruits, teasing the little daughter-in-law and the eldest girl, and not doing too out-of-the-ordinary things, but it also made them never see the real life of these people again.

Just returned to the palace like this, and didn't alarm many people along the way. Back to her 'pickle shop', where there are three little ones waiting, ten-year-old Li Li has begun to stretch her body, slim and slim in a green palace dress, quiet like an elegant swan. Xiao Yuzhang is wearing a small crimson jacket, with a double ponytail on his head, showing his small baby teeth with a smile, and he is brilliant like the red glow on the horizon. Finally, there is a little girl from Tianxiang, wearing a snow-white Confucian skirt, a double-ring maiden head on her head, and a wooden hairpin inserted. The little face was smiling, and the shallow pear vortex made Li Kuan feel very kind.

"Second brother!" Xiao Yuzhang rushed over from afar, with a smile on his little face, but tears in his big eyes. Li Lizhi and Tianxiang stood in place, smiling and looking at this person who had disappeared for more than half a month with tears in their eyes. Both of them are older, they know some so-called etiquette, and they have a lot less intimate behavior with Li Kuan.

"Haha...... Do you miss your second brother? Li Kuan caught the little girl who was rushing over, pinched her small and straight nose and asked.

"Thought! Think about it every day! You see Wei'er wants to lose weight! The little girl pointed to her face and said. The little girl did lose weight, but because she felt that she was a little fat girl, she was losing weight these days, and together with her Qingque brother, she ran every day and ate a lot less.

"Second brother!" Li Kuan walked over with Xiao Yuzhang in his arms, and Li Li greeted with a smile.

"Lizhi, why are you so angry?" Li Kuan looked at Li Lizhen, since the last time Sun Simiao recuperated Li Yuan's body, he treated her and her eldest grandson, Li Liqin has been much healthier in the past two years, her face is ruddy, and she has a jade-colored luster.

"Second brother, I miss you so much!" Li Lizhen was brought out of her long-suppressed thoughts by Li Kuan's words, stepped forward and hugged one of Li Kuan's arms, said softly, and then began to cry quietly: "You left without saying a word, Lizhi is so worried, second brother, Lizhi is so scared, if something happens, Lizhi really doesn't know where to find a good brother like you!" Hearing this, Li Kuan's heart warmed: "Okay girl, it's okay, the second brother's ability is great!" In the future, the second brother will have to fight on the battlefield, and he can't do such a small thing, how will he be a general in the future? Li Kuan comforted Li Liqing, who was in tears.

Then he hugged one, dragged one, and came to his little maid: "Tianxiang! Why don't you speak? The smiling expression brought the stunned little maid back to her senses.

"Master, don't you want slaves? Slaves are so scared! The little maid began to weep too, and her big eyes were like a spring. The light makeup on the little girl's face was spent, like a little cat. (To be continued......)
