Metropolitan Protector at Dubai Harbour.

At this time, the city of local tyrants became more intoxicated with gold in later generations, and the new city of Damin, which was concentrated in the hinterland of the desert that most of the Bedouin tribes had not attacked, gave more merchants confidence, and the wealth of the special products of the entire peninsula attracted more and more investment from the opposite side of the Persian Gulf to this place.

Even in the 21st century, there are still a large number of Bedouins who are nomadic and nomadic among the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, refusing to belong to any nationality, rather than forcibly binding them to the land and waiting for them to rebel, it is better to find another way.

For this reason, the Hezhong army under Li Rang's command is now overturned, rather than fighting them, it is better to restrain them to the command of the Great Min, become mercenaries, everything is willing to join the Min army, the Bedouin tribes who are fighting for the reward of the Great Min, as long as there is no blood feud, Li Rang almost accepted them without delay.

Now Li Rang has become the first prince in the territory of Great Fujian, with money and soldiers.

On the outskirts of Dubai Harbour, on the site of the huge city wall, the steel bars forged by the fine iron ore of Nantianzhu stand like a forest on the half-section of the city wall that has just experienced the war, and a Roman engineer directs a group of Persian craftsmen to continuously pour Roman cement on it according to the ancient method, and the majestic city wall rises from the ground.

Just like when Li Jie built the capital city, the palace representing the center of power became the final construction goal, and now only the core two-story pivot tower of the palace stands on the huge planning site, through which the majesty of the future palace can be vaguely seen.

At the door, in the hall of the king of Hezhong where sixteen Bedouin, Tocharian, Han, She, Slang, Turkic and other elite warriors of various ethnic groups were in charge, a fierce quarrel was going on.

"Your Highness, you are destroying the Great Wall!"

couldn't care about Li Rang's identity, Guo Zhifeng, who was wearing heavy armor, raised his arms excitedly and debated in annoyance.

"Song Jing is definitely a general, in such a desperate situation, he can say that the remnants of the army are brought back from the depths of the desert, and he has also drawn a detailed map, which can give our army the opportunity to continue to attack and go deep into the desert to chase and kill Busmansu, he is a meritorious man!"

"The biggest person responsible for this war is Li Chou, exile Li Chou and kill Song Jing, the army is not convinced, Your Highness!"

Listening to Guo Beifeng's shouting, Li Rang only sat in front of the map with a gloomy face at this time, staring at the attack points marked with red and blue arrows on it, and for a while, Fang raised his head coldly and asked: "General Guo, is it a fact that Song Jing instigated the rear army to retreat without getting the order of the right general Li Chou?"

Guo Zhifeng, who asked this, choked for a moment, and then replied in distress: "At that time, the sandstorm attacked, and the strongest Hezhong Lanwei army was destroyed by the wind and sand, and holding on any longer can only increase casualties and lead everyone to death......

"This lonely doesn't care, I only saw Song Jing disobeying the army's orders and escaping!"

"But Song Jing then brought the remnants of the army back from the desert, and also broke five Bedouin tribes, and drew a detailed map, he is a meritorious man!"

With hope, Guo Beifeng still tried his best to persuade Li Rang, but unfortunately, Li Rang was still as cold as ever.

"Merit is merit, merit is fault, merit and demerit cannot be offset, Song Jing's merits, Lone will ask for a knight for him, let his family attack the knight, but escape from the battle, Song Jing must die, otherwise in the future, Lone's army, when the battle is hard, won't everyone be able to escape?"

Li Rang's words were not unreasonable, and finally Guo Beifeng was speechless, and as a last resort, he turned to the side helplessly, and asked sadly: "General Li, you are the deputy head of the march, don't you plan to say a word?"

Theoretically, Li Rang was only assigned to the Arabian Peninsula for the purpose of marching and fighting, and he did not have the right to rule, but Li Jie acquiesced to him, so the imperial history of the court was helpless.

However, the current dispute is also tricky for Li Yexu, Li Chou's defeat he expected, but he didn't expect Li Rang to be so bold, using the strength of the Great Min to recruit Bedouins into the army, the current situation has not only failed to achieve the purpose of weakening Li Rang, but has made the situation more and more uncontrollable.

It seems to be a question of whether merit and demerit can be offset, but in fact it involves the power dumping within Li Rang's Hezhong Protectorate, and the allegiance of many Arab tribes, Li Rang's original own, but the more and more uneasy use of the Hezhong Army generals has become another extreme attitude disgust, through Song Jing's incident, Li Rang wants to attack the original Hezhong Army team and curb their right to speak.

Not only because he cherishes talents, Guo Beifeng also wants to save his seniority and prestige in the Hezhong Army, which also involves the power confrontation between Li Rang and the original team.

Let Li Rang maintain contradictions with the generals of the Hezhong Army, who are still the mainstay of the Hezhong Protectorate, which is conducive to the control of the imperial court, so Song Jing is still dead for Li Yexu, the only problem is that Li Rang is such a big killer who ignores the laws and regulations of the imperial court and makes his own decisions, which will further weaken the majesty of the imperial court, and it is not in the interests of the imperial court to let Li Rang kill Song Jing so easily.

Listening to Guo Zhifeng's angry plea for help, he hesitated for a moment, and then Li Yexu shook his head with difficulty.

"King of Hezhong County, after all, the defeat of the golden acacia involves the clan, Li Chou still has the title of county duke, if His Royal Highness disposes of it so easily, His Majesty will learn about it in the future, and His Royal Highness may not be able to explain it!"

This question finally made Li Rang pause thinking about the next battle situation, pinched his chin and thought about it in distress, although the recent Arab service made him taste the taste of power, but for his father Li Jie, the king of Damin, Li Rang still had enough respect and fear, hesitated again and again, Li Rang could be regarded as a concession, turned his head and asked Li Yexu.

"What does General Qianniu Wei think is good?"

"Report to the imperial court, wait for the orders of the Criminal Department and the Military Department, and then exile and kill!"

It's okay to kill Song Jing! But it must be under the orders of the Damin Imperial Court!

In Li Yexu's suggestion, he did not veto his opinion of killing people, and Li Rang was a little more comfortable in this regard, this time he did not hesitate, nodded in agreement and said: "As General Li said, first put Li Chou and Song Jing and a few other deserters under pressure, wait for the order of the imperial court, and then execute!"

In his words, Song Jing's implication of death was still full, and Guo Beifeng, who listened, once again helplessly carried it.

"Your Highness, we now need a talent like Song Jing who is familiar with the desert to lead our army to open up Arabia!"

"The minister is also familiar with the desert, and he can also lead the Great Min to Riyadh!" This time, Li Rang didn't say anything at all, but the new right general Ma He, who had just taken refuge in Damin and was eager to perform, proudly showed his merits.

"You? Arabian Hurd? ”

Guo Zhifeng snorted disdainfully, but it caused more than a dozen Arab sheikhs sitting at the headquarters to jump up in annoyance.

Fierce invective and quarrels immediately resounded throughout the headquarters.

Outside the door, by the pillar.

Holding the peer order but not entering inside, Yao Chong, who had been eavesdropping in the corner, couldn't help but sigh again, Li Rang's determination is so great, it is really as Jiao Dalin said, going in to persuade at this time will not help except to increase the estrangement between himself and Li Rang.

But seeing Song Jing die, he couldn't do it!

After hesitating for a while, in the midst of the fierce quarrel inside, Yao Chong simply stopped working, and walked out along the center of the sixteen guards with wrinkled hair, and returned to his home in Dubai Harbour.

For Yao Chong, who changed his own concept, Li Rang attached great importance to it, and when his palace was not repaired, he first gave him a mansion, the courtyard of Sanjin was quite magnificent, and date palm trees were planted in the sand, and the cement pool was irrigated with seawater, and there was even a two-fin shark swimming around in it.

Staying under the cool eaves, pinching a delicate seal, Yao Chong made a fierce choice.

The seal is made of chalcedony, white with a slight flush, and two words are carved with delicate seal characters, Morning Dawn!

It was given to him by Li Chenxi when he left, so that when he had something, he took this seal to find her.

The reason why I didn't give it to Song Jing is because Li Chenxi knows this dead fat man too well, he looks very arrogant, but he is so proud in his bones, I am afraid that if something happens, he will never pull down his face and rely on her as a woman.

The fact is also the same, even if she is shackled, Song Jing shouted at herself in the crowd, and she must not be told!!

But at this time, Song Jing's request Yao Chong could no longer be taken care of, and the only thing that worried him was whether Li Chenxi could really help?

Don't look at Li Jie's love for his daughter and sister, he hates the princess politics in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and he doesn't want to cultivate a princess Taiping among his heirs, whether it is Gao Yang, Li Chenxi or her sisters, Li Jie didn't let them interfere in the slightest bit of politics.

If she told Li Chenxi that she would not sit idly by, she might be dragged into the water, after all, in the power game between the King of Min, the King of Hezhong County and the Prince, her strength is too small.

Especially now that Li Jie is not here.

With Li Chenxi by the side of King Min, although she can't help much, she keeps saying good things for herself, and her career will be bright in the future, sacrificing her, maybe it will also involve her career, pinching the seal, Yao Chong hesitated.

Staring at the swaying double-fin shark, two hours passed, and Yao Chongfang, whose forehead was full of cold sweat, finally gritted his teeth fiercely, lifted the pen and wrote a note, finished writing, hurriedly dried the ink, and said that the note was sealed in a bamboo tube, and the bamboo tube was sealed with wax, and at the same time Li Chenxi's seal was stamped on it.

"Talos! Thou hast immediately sent this letter to Ctesiphon, and handed it over to the lord of Dawn with his own hands! ”

Half an hour later, wearing a black cloak, Yao Chong's Nord henchmen galloped wildly on the road, and almost at the same time, Li Yexu also handed his fold to the messenger, and at the same time exhorted him earnestly.

"Be sure to meet the wishes of the king of Hezhong County and kill Song Jing!!"
