Countless men carried the square stones blown out of the mountains, sweated like rain to the sea, put into the sea, a month, the original silted port has stretched out to the sea for about half a mile, a flat seawall appeared in the port, even more than 80 meters of the flagship Min Guo can be docked next to it.

On the one hand, it brought a lot of business opportunities to Saigon, and on the other hand, it brought a lot of competitive pressure to the local Khmer merchants who were accustomed to ease in Saigon, so that these Khmer people did not know whether to cry or laugh.

On the sea, more than a dozen big boats were moored there side by side, and a tic-tac-toe horizontal frame was set up horizontally with wooden planks between the boats, and a rope hung into the sea along the horizontal frame, and I didn't know what it was connected to.

A few minutes passed, a large stream of bubbles suddenly emerged from the water, a moment later, a beauty along the surface of the water to show her head, the tender face raised high, water droplets down the wet gorgeous hair, and through the rippling water, the beauty of a pair of beautiful breasts can be seen dimly, a good picture of a beauty out of the water.

In the end, it was a man, Li Jie, Hei Tooth Changzhi, and Qin Huaiyang all stared straight at the bottom of the water with their eyes, until the Khmer beauty was full of excitement and handed over the small wooden box with her, and she chattered for a while in Khmer, which called the attention of several people back from the Xiufeng.

"Your Highness, Lian said, with the water and crystal mirrors made by His Highness, it is really much more convenient, this time she dived much deeper than before, stayed longer, these pearls are given to Your Highness."

The Khmer officials on the side hurriedly flattered the translation, there are a lot of Tang businessmen who go to Saigon, and it is not difficult to find a few Tang translators.

Seven pearls, each the size of a little finger belly, these are the finest South China Sea deep-sea pearls, full and round in color, each one is golden, and even a rare black pearl among them.

This kung fu, Li'an, the famous top pearl diver in Saigon also climbed on the boat like a mermaid, grew up diving at the seaside since she was a child, this girl is toned and moist, her wheat-colored and healthy skin is coated with a layer of bloom, and the pear-shaped Xiufeng explains that she is tall, because she needs complete freedom in the deadly waves, and there can be no restraint, so the girl is ****, and the good baby Qin Huaiyang is eyes straight under the family education of the big and generous movements.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was staring at someone's chest for a long time, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Li Jie stretched out his hand and pulled, a few pearls were swept away, and when Qin Huaiyang reacted, there was no one left, so panicked that this fear of guilt hurriedly rushed over.

"Don't bring such a highness, this is a gift that the ministers came up with to bring to the snow goose, and said that the first batch will be given to the ministers first, you can't hide it privately." Reaching out and scooping Li Jie's pocket, Qin Huaiyang touched it for a long time, but a little gold and silver coins, crying a face, facing Li Jie with an innocent face, Qin Huaiyang talked about reasoning depressedly, but it was not Li Jie who was reasonable, and spread his hands with a rogue smile, Li Jie smiled obscenely: "You also saw it, it's not on the lonely body, why are you so stingy, let Lian help you catch it again, isn't it, Lian?" ”

I have never seen such a big and unruly aristocratic lord, the pearl diver girl lowered her head shyly, and Qin Huaiyang, a hungry man who looked at it, had straight eyes, but just when Li Jiexiao's conspiracy succeeded, in the distance, suddenly a two-wheeled boat rowed the waves and rushed over desperately.

"Your Highness, Northern Emergency, Your Highness!" Pulling his throat, Du Lieutenant Zhang Ergou shouted so that his face turned red, and he chuckled in his heart, Li Jie hurriedly waved his hand and ordered: "Lean over." ”

A beeswax sealed ball was sent to Li Jie's hand, after unscrewing, Li Jie read it at a glance, and after a while, he regressed in a distraction, and in the sound of a bang, crystal clear pearl droplets fell out of his sleeves, and he was stunned for a moment, and then Li Jie roared, "Pass the order, go back to occupy the city immediately!" ”

"Whoa!" With a correct expression, Qin Huaiyang immediately ran over the ship solemnly and ordered loudly: "The King of Min has an order, the fleet will return to the fleet and return to occupy the city!" ”

More than a dozen big boats crunched up their sails and turned their bows, and the pearl diver Li'an and the Medan official were completely stupid, not knowing what was going on, but no one paid attention to them anymore.

"Ergou, pass the order to Li Yexu, go alone, Saigon and Zhancheng are all handed over to him to manage, let him be careful!"

"Whoa!"

It seems that with Li Jie's anxious mood, God is a little diligent, the bulging sea breeze seems to be blown away, just a few hours, in a time across almost a hundred miles, back to the northern Champang, on the way, there have already been cavalry to pass the news, the fleet has just arrived in the city, Linyi Wang Fan Lijia has taken the princess Fan Ziyue to welcome to the port, directly under the Tang Army guard.

In the past, he was familiar with walking among the guards, but this time I don't know why, Fan Lijia always had a feeling of discomfort, forced to press this uncomfortable, Fan Lijia walked quickly with his head down, so that his sister Fan Ziyue behind him almost couldn't catch him, Xiao Nizi was obviously much thinner during this time, red and swollen little eyes, and the reunion of relatives that she was looking forward to when she went home this time became a separation between heaven and man, which hit Fan Ziyue quite hard.

Sitting at the desk, Li Jie still frowned deeply, subconsciously, Fan Lijia was like going to salute, and suddenly he thought that he was already a king, and his body stiffened for a while, and it was not right to salute for a while, and it was not right to salute, but Fan Ziyue didn't think so much, and after catching up, he gasped carefully, and shouted timidly: "Brother King Min." ”

"Oh, here you are." Putting down the copy, Li Jie stood up directly and walked over, as if he hadn't noticed his abnormality, which made Fan Lijia breathe a sigh of relief, but then Li Jie's words made Fan Lijia hold his breath.

"Li Jia, Lone is going back to Fujian, Lone has left a thousand garrisons in Saigon, and the port of Saigon is about to be completed, and the army of Linyi will also return in batches, if there is anything to happen to Linyi, you will go to Li Yexu, the commander of the Saigon garrison, for help."

Fan Lijia almost felt that his heart was going to jump out excitedly, for a month, Li Jie was like a mountain on his head, even if others were in Saigon, Fan Lijia was out of breath, but before he finished his joy, Li Jie pointed to Fan Ziyue and said: "Ziyue will go back to Fujian with me." ”

It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and now Fan Lijia also has this sister, why did he almost blurt out and endure it, Fan Lijia bowed his head and greeted: "Yes." ”

"It's not that I don't worry about you, Ziyue is used to living in the Min Palace, this is still her sad place, and it is not good for her to be alone here, it is better to go back and be a companion with a few princesses, don't think about it." Sighing, Li Jie waved his hand and explained, but Fan Lijia's heart was relieved again, and he bowed his head respectfully: "But it's up to King Min to decide." ”

"Okay, that's all, I'm leaving, you're very busy, go back." waved his hand and gave the eviction order, Li Jie turned around and sat down at the desk again, picked up the crumpled piece of paper and looked at it again, watching Fan Ziyue's eyes red and being taken away by the maid, and Fan Lijia wanted to speak several times but endured it.

"What, Riga, is there anything else?" After seeing that Fan Lijia didn't leave for a while, Li Jie frowned again and raised his head, his heart trembled, and Fan Lijia lowered his head again and asked.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry?"

"There's something going on in Chang'an."

"Oh, in that case, Your Highness, you are busy, minister, the little king has retired."

After getting off the ship, Fan Lijia felt that his vest was soaked, and he couldn't say whether he was excited or discouraged as he watched the huge fleet sail away from the port of Zhancheng, and at the same time his heart was beating violently, he had been Li Jie's secretary for so long, he knew too well what it meant that something was going on in Chang'an.

After a long time, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Fan Lijia shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, set up the car and drive back to the palace." ”

On one end, Li Jie was anxiously rushing to Fujian, and on the other hand, Manila, the capital of the Luzon Governorate, and the group was also bidding farewell.

In a few months, Manila has changed a lot, completely become a city, the strong city walls guard the port, the streets are lined with pavilions, a large number of ships dock every day, as the Fujian country completely established itself in Manila, the two sides of the strait opened sailboats, every day many foreign businessmen or immigrants arrive in Manila by boat, of course, there are a lot of sightseeing to go.

However, it is quite rare for such old people to stay, and it is really rare for young people to leave, and Manila is a good place to escape the cold from January to May, and it can be very hot from June.

"Grandpa, you, are you really not leaving?" was about to step on the boat, and the young man was still full of worry and reluctant to turn back, but the old man looked up and smiled: "Where are so many mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law young people, let you go, you can leave quickly, our era is over, and the future depends on you!" What's more, the old man is already dead, haha. ”

"But, Grandpa."

The young man was still full of hesitation and hesitation, he knew that this trip would be a real parting of life and death.

If Li Jie was here, he would definitely be shocked, the old man, it was actually Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty who should have been dead for more than half a year, and the young man was his grandson Li Yexu.

Looking at his grandson's reluctance, Lao Li Jing also shook his head helplessly: "Okay, Ye Xu, didn't you say it before you came, since Goguryeo said goodbye, the old man has always wanted to know, what does King Min want to do, now the hot springs of the Wa Kingdom have also been soaked, the bamboo buildings of the natives have also been there, this exotic scenery has also been seen, and the answer that grandpa wants the most is also available, and there are no regrets in this life." ”

"Grandpa's last wish is here, can you help Grandpa achieve it?" Turning around, the old Li Jing pointed with fascination, on the main square of Manila Harbor, at this time, the three marble milky white statues more than ten zhang high have reached the finishing stage, and they are the statues of Yang Shidao, Xiao Yu, and Fang Xuanling.

"Oh, my grandson obeys!" Finally gritted his teeth and relentlessly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, Li Yexu finally strode on the ship, surrounded by his family and watched the ship gradually move away, old Li Jing couldn't help but breathe with emotion.

"King Min, the old man ruined you once, and now it's okay to pay you a favor."

"Perhaps, the future of the Guan Long family will be maintained in your hands." With a long sigh, with the support of his family, the old Li Jing, who was over the age of old, shook his head and left the dock with emotion, but sat on the bench in the port square, staring at his former three colleagues, and remained ......silent for a long time.
