The father and son chatted in the garden, chatting about many topics, during which it was mostly Ajert and Christina, the two former kings and queens, asking Jiang Ning all kinds of questions. Ask him where he's been all these years, how he's doing, and why he hasn't come to see them. However, more questions were asked about their mother, Elizabeth.

"Mother, how long will it take for her to come back to life?" Christina was now more and more charming, biting her lip and looking at the palace lamp on the table without blinking. As if 'hearing' her voice, the palace lamp suddenly flickered to an emerald color like a rhythm of breathing.

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait." Looking at the gorgeous palace lamp, Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"How long will we have to wait?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "I don't know." He looked at the lost expressions of his two children, "Your mother is not an ordinary birth, because of the two of you, she was greatly injured, fortunately I was still very 'weak' at the time, if I was one step stronger, I am afraid that Elizabeth will never have a chance to resurrect." ”

"Why is that?"

"This is determined by the rules of the universe." He said: "The more powerful a life is, the chances of giving birth to offspring are very rare. And I was undoubtedly stronger than Elizabeth at that time. Therefore, the rule works for me as well. Even when she was pregnant with the two of you, I brewed a lot of potions for her to replenish the source of life, but I still miscalculated. What she lost was her origin, not a mere potion that could be replenished. Although the large amount of potions replenished her with a certain amount of vitality, allowing her to live for a few more years, ......"

"It's because of the two of us—" Christina looked guilty as she looked gloomily at the lantern on the table. I want to pick up the lamp, but I am afraid of hurting the soul that sleeps in the lamp.

Agilt also didn't know how to comfort his sister, who had been living in seclusion in the backyard of the palace since their abdication, as the secret patron saint of the country. Christina is different from him, she has always been hygienic and maintains a pure virgin body. Her vision is very high, whether it is a foreign monarch, a nobleman or an outstanding son of her own country, she cannot enter her eyes. Over time, he remained single. Ajert, on the other hand, married and had children with a noble woman in his country as soon as he became an adult. When the heirs came of age, the siblings officially abdicated, and with the help of the two of them, the new king smoothly took over the power of the country.

Because during the reign of the king and the queen, they defeated the two kingdoms of Great Food and established the hegemony of the Mediterranean. As a result, after the new king succeeded to the throne, the domestic political situation was stable, and the external environment was also the same. After the new king succeeded to the throne, he built on the foundation laid in the era of the two kings. With his support and policies, the Tang people's society finally ushered in a period of spurt prosperity. The potential accumulated by more than 100 years of recuperation and recuperation has exploded in one fell swoop, and the entire territory of the Tang people has ushered in an all-round prosperity. All walks of life are booming, farmers and herdsmen are at ease to cultivate and graze, and grain production is rising year by year, resulting in piles of granaries in various places. Every household also builds more grain storage rooms, puts the newly produced grain into the grain storage room every year, and takes out the old grain and sells it abroad.

The Tang people, who had so much grain that they couldn't eat enough and didn't know what to do with it, used the grain to raise all kinds of livestock and even make wine. The more people in the country have seen it, it is not surprising. However, foreign merchants and even envoys were extremely jealous of the wealth of the Tang people. In addition, the Mediterranean trade around the Tang Dynasty has led many people and countries to be extremely jealous of this seatrade that can be called a profiteering industry. The piracy industry, which was once sluggish or even extinct, has once again prospered.

Many countries secretly provided shelter for pirates, and the Mediterranean, especially near Asia, was dotted with many islands that were a natural hiding place for pirates. Pirates from all over the world gathered here, and they robbed all kinds of merchant ships in the Mediterranean Sea with impunity, and then sold them everywhere, making huge profits while building ships on a large scale, recruiting troops, and expanding their power. Although the Tang navy has carried out many encirclement and suppression, it has never been able to completely annihilate these pirates, plus there is the support of various countries. As a result, some merchants in remote areas did not dare to act alone when they went to sea to trade, and only by uniting many maritime merchants to form a huge caravan dared to go to sea to trade.

And close to the land of the Tang people, the merchants there are extremely reassured. Several fleets of the Tang people constantly patrol every day to protect the smooth passage of the sea route. And the pirates have not yet dared to carry out public activities in the waters of the Tang people. However, the Tang people can only take care of a part of the sea area, and the farther sea area cannot be taken care of at all.

Although it is known that there are many countries supporting these pirates, there is no definite evidence, and it is difficult for the Tang people to exert pressure on those countries. On the contrary, because of repeated encirclement and suppression, the pirate power not only did not decline, but became more and more prosperous.

"Father, when you come back this time, will you leave?" After Ajert finished speaking, Christina, who was a little sluggish on the side, also looked at Jiang Ning with anticipation in her eyes.

Jiang Ning nodded and shook his head, he said, "I must go, but I came back this time to take you back." ”

When the sister and brother heard this, they were very happy, and then frowned and said, "What about the country and the people?" What about them, we are gone, does it mean that everything here has to be abandoned? ”

Jiang Ning shook his head, "That's not the case, you'll understand after a while." ”

In the days that followed, Lu Duan, the envoy who visited the Tang Dynasty, was undoubtedly very happy after purchasing war horses. Every day, he worked hard to learn the language and writing of the Tang people, and then under the leadership of his entourage and the translators sent to him by the Tang people, he traveled around the whole territory of the Tang Dynasty, wrote down all the things he had personally experienced in his "Essentials of the Tang Dynasty", and hired the entourage of Tang painters to paint the strength of various places, and he wanted to complete his book of the Essentials of the Tang Dynasty in a way with pictures and texts.

This was also influenced by the Tang people, because he found that many of the books of the Tang people were mostly compiled in the form of pictures and texts. There are pictures and words, which can be more clear at a glance, and more interesting than simple written descriptions. For this reason, Lü Duan began to revise his book on the Journey to the Tang Dynasty, and hired the most famous painters in the Tang Kingdom to accompany him, drawing the land style of the Tang people, the port city and the sea ships lined with masts, as well as the clothing and residence of merchants from various countries, and the Tang people. He painted pastures with countless livestock, ploughing farmland, tall houses, and so on.

In his writings, he not only recorded the wealth of the Tang people's land, but also recorded in detail all aspects of the Tang society, including the political system of the Tang people. Conducting an objective and fair evaluation, of course, during the period, it was inevitable to criticize the Tang people for putting an end to the learning of sages and specializing in the knowledge of interests and strange skills, which made Lu Duan very dissatisfied.

After Lu Duan finished writing down his tour of the Tang Dynasty, he met the Tang King and officially said goodbye.

And the Tang monarch blessed his departure, and decided to send a naval fleet to escort him, for which Lu Duan was naturally grateful. Subsequently, the visiting envoy began to embark on the road back to China.
