"Sixth Brother ~ Giggles ~" The son jumped off the boat happily, and then flew into Li Su's arms like a little swallow, and Li Su couldn't stop laughing, and hugged the son for a few turns before stopping.

"Sixth brother! Sixth sister-in-law! At this time, Li Zhi also walked down, and bowed to Li Su and Wen Xin very respectfully, and Cai'er next to him also called 'cousin', and then ran to Wen Xin's side, holding her arm and talking non-stop.

Li Su put down his son, let her talk to Wen Xin, and then walked up to Li Zhi and slapped his chest lightly and said, "Ninth brother, it seems that it was really the right decision to let you go to the military academy at the beginning, at least this body is much stronger than it was at the beginning." ”

Hearing the sixth brother's jokes, Li Zhi was very excited, especially in the past few years, the sixth brother's help to himself made Li Zhi have the urge to hug Li Su and cry.

But at this moment, the five-year-old Chouchou took his two younger brothers, Australia and Nanyang, and ran to Li Zhi with a blank eye, and then whispered to Li Zhi: "Are you our ninth uncle?" ”

"Well, you're ugly, when you were born, Uncle Nine hugged you!" As soon as Li Zhi saw her ugly appearance, he immediately guessed her identity, and as for the other two small ones, he knew without asking that these must be his two nephews.

"Great, Uncle Nine will give us a gift!" The ugly three jumped up happily after hearing this, and then three small hands reached out in front of Li Zhi at the same time to ask for a gift.

Uh~, Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, stretched out his hand to the back and made a move, and as a result, boxes of things were moved down from the ship, these were all gifts he prepared, as for the toys prepared by his son. Because the quantity is too large, it can't be shipped for the time being.

"Yay~. Long live Uncle Nine! As soon as they saw the gift, they immediately cheered and ran over to pick it out. At this time, the son also ran over, and while helping the ugly three to choose gifts, he introduced to them that he had also brought a lot of interesting things, and the three children were also very curious about the little aunt's gifts, and even ran to the boat to pick out the gifts.

finally waited until the son took the ugly and ugly and they got off the boat, but the maids behind them were full of gifts, among which the big rag doll that the son liked the most was indeed very popular with the ugly, but unfortunately she was too small. I can't hold it at all, otherwise I will definitely not let go.

The family happily returned to the palace in Keelung, and the banquet had already been set up, and because Li Zhi, Cai'er and his son were not outsiders, there was no division between men and women, everyone gathered together, and even Xijun, Mengxue and Jin Shengman also came, but Wu Meiniang was not there, because when she was in Chang'an. Li Zhi had seen her before, and although many years had passed, she was still worried about being recognized by Li Zhi, and Li Zhi was different from Li Zhen. Therefore, Wu Meiniang did not participate on the grounds of illness.

When Li Su was still in Chang'an, Li Zhi and his son liked to eat and drink at Li Su's mansion, after all, the food in the Qi Wang's Mansion was a must in Chang'an. However, after Li Su went to Dengzhou to take office, the two never tasted the food of the Qi Palace. At most, Li Su asked people to send some canned food to Chang'an, although it was also made by the chef of the palace. But after all, it's not new.

It is precisely because of this that the re-tasting of the food of the Qi Wangfu today naturally made Li Zhi and his son have a great appetite, especially the small son, who actually ate more than Li Su, which made the ugly sister and brother keep staring at this little aunt, thinking about whether they would return the gift they got today? Because looking at this little aunt, it seems that she hasn't eaten for a few days.

After eating, Cai'er and her son took the ugly and ugly to play, Wen Xin and Xijun also accompanied, as for Li Zhi, he and Li Su sat in the hall drinking tea, and by the way, they talked about some things that had happened in the past few years.

"Sixth brother, I have to thank you for the matter between me and Cai'er!" Li Zhi suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Sushen. Cai'er was able to become a quasi-prince, Li Su was planning and contributing behind the scenes, and finally let Li Zhi get his wish, so he always wanted to thank Li Su in person, and today he finally has this opportunity.

After hearing this, Li Su smiled and said: "Okay, don't be polite to me, Cai'er is my cousin, and you are my brother, if I don't help you as a brother, who else in this world can help you?" ”

Li Zhi straightened up and smiled at Li Su, there was still a sense of gratitude in his smile, and then he thought of one thing, and immediately asked: "Sixth brother, I heard that you sent a huge fleet to the transportation artery in Malacca, but you did not land on Jinzhou on the south side of the strait, nor did you do anything to the local forces of Moluoyou, but instead built a lion city on the Malay Peninsula in the north, isn't it too troublesome, in my opinion, it is better to directly grab all the places in Moluoyou, these ports are ready-made, You can use it all! ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Su showed a wry smile and said: "Ninth brother doesn't know, these small countries don't seem to be strong, but they are backed by the vast area of Jinzhou, when facing my army, they will definitely flee to the interior of Jinzhou, and I seem to have a strong army now, but after annexing Luzon and Linyi, I can't divide too many troops to conquer Jinzhou, so the best way is to move them for the time being, but build another port, compete with them openly, and even deliberately cause their dissatisfaction, Let them take the initiative to attack the Lion City. ”

"Hey, why is this, Sixth Brother, didn't you say that you don't have enough troops, why do you want to take the initiative to provoke?" Li Zhi asked with some relief.

"Hahaha~" Li Su laughed after hearing this, "The annexation of Luzon and Linyi occupies the army, but the impact on the navy is not great, and my navy was an offensive army at the beginning of its formation, but there are too few opponents in this world who can compete with them, but although the navy is strong, it can't drive ships to land, so I need those small countries to gather their forces, and then attack the Lion City across the sea, and then it will be time for the navy to defeat them in one fell swoop!" ”

"I see, it's still the sixth brother, you are smart!" Li Zhi also suddenly realized, although the four words of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses are simple to say, but there are very few things that can really be done, but now Li Zhi has taught him a vivid lesson.

"By the way, Brother Six, how are Brother Seven and Brother Starling doing now, I just heard on the way that they knocked down half of that Ceylon, and now it's been a few months, and I don't know if they have a firm foothold?" Li Zhi then asked again. When they were in the junior class of the military academy, the three brothers studied together, which made the relationship between the three of them very deep. Later, Li Zhen and Li Yun both went to regular military academy classes, but Li Zhi could only occasionally observe at the military academy because of his special status, and could not really study in the military academy, which also made Li Zhi often regret.

"The seventh and eighth brothers have opened up the situation now, but they have done some disgraceful things in the middle!" Li Su said with a smile after hearing this, Li Zhen and Li Yun not only have the support of Li Shimin behind them, but also the support of Li Su, plus the two of them are willing to work hard, so they have now gained a firm foothold in Tianzhu.

"Oh? If you say that the starling brother does something dishonorable, I believe it, but with the character of the sixth brother, how can he do anything dishonorable? Li Zhi also asked with great interest. And Li Yu laughed after hearing this, and told Li Zhen and Li Yun about their actions during this time.

It turned out that after Li Zhen and Li Yun marched from the northern tip of Ceylon and directly captured the capital of the Tamil Kingdom, they quickly controlled the entire Tamil Kingdom, and most of the other areas had been pacified, except for some mountainous areas in the center of the island, where there were still scattered Tamil resistance.

After pacifying the Tamil Kingdom, Li Zhen and Li Yun immediately cooperated with the Sinhalese Kingdom in various aspects, such as purchasing various goods from Sinhala, and then selling them to the Tang Dynasty, and also carried out intimate exchanges in military and religion, which made the Sinhalese Kingdom trust Li Zhen and Li Yun brothers very much, and soon the two countries became brotherly states.

It was at this time that Li Zhen and Li Yun discovered a very interesting phenomenon in the Sinhalese Kingdom, that is, in the Lion City, the capital of the Sinhalese Kingdom, there is a very special building, called the Buddha's Tooth Essence House, which enshrines the Buddha's tooth relics of Sakyamuni, according to legend, two hundred years ago, the Jiajia country on the Tianzhu continent was attacked by neighboring countries, and the king was worried that the Buddha's tooth preserved in the country would be damaged by the war, so he let his daughter, a princess named Hemanli, send the Buddha's tooth to the Sinhalese kingdom.

Sinhala is a Buddhist country, and the whole country believes in Buddhism, so this Buddha tooth relic has naturally become the national treasure of the Sinhalese Kingdom, and a Seven Treasures Monastery has been specially built to worship, every three months, the Sinhalese Kingdom will welcome the Buddha Tooth Relic out of the ashram to worship, and each time the king needs to personally welcome.

Of course, the king's affairs are busy, and he usually has little time, so it is common for a high monk to sit on an elephant in royal clothes and invite the Buddha's tooth out, and each time he worships in a monastery where incense is flourishing for fifteen days, and then invites him back. Fa Xian, a high monk in the Jin Dynasty, once went to the Sinhalese Kingdom and saw the local activities of worshiping the Buddha's tooth relics.

When Li Zhen and Li Yun went to the Sinhalese Kingdom to visit King Sinkya, they were very lucky to encounter the Buddha Tooth Relic held in the Lion City, and in order to celebrate the destruction of the old enemy Tamil Kingdom, there were two more friends, Li Zhen and Li Yun, two distant friends, so Xin Keya personally took the elephant to invite the Buddha Tooth Relic out, and invited Li Zhen and Li Yun to visit the Buddha Tooth Relic at close range.

For the Buddha tooth relic, Li Zhen and Li Yun are no strangers, because there is also one in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, they have also been to see it, and the Sinhalese Kingdom Although this one is slightly different, it is indeed brought back to the Central Plains from Tianzhu by the high monk Faxian in the Jin Dynasty. And they also know that there were originally four Buddha tooth relics, but two of them are missing, and only two of the Tang Dynasty and Sinhala kingdoms survive.

It was precisely knowing these that Li Zhen suddenly thought of a good way to annex the Sinhalese Kingdom, but this method was really a little dishonorable as Li Su said. (To be continued......)
