After Xu Yunyan gave Jiang Fangguo some guidance, he began to embark on the return route.
As for Jiang Fangguo? He wrote a quick letter, a plan to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty and turn the entire previously boundless sea into the inner sea of the Tang Dynasty. Jiang Fangguo wrote to Li Shimin.
In this letter, Jiang Fangguo explained that this was Xu Yunyan's plan.
Just as Jiang Fangguo's letter was heading towards Chang'an City, the remnants of pirates on the southeast coast that had been completely destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in the interior gathered together again at sea, glaring in the direction of the Tang Dynasty.
"These Tang Dynasty's troops are too powerful. They defeated us easily. Datang is not a suitable place for us. It is not the position we should be in. Let's leave."
One pirate said this, while the other pirate next to him shook his head.
"If I don't leave, my brothers and compatriots have all fallen here. If I go back alive alone, I may not necessarily bear any kind of infamy. I have to go back with a lot of wealth to appease their families. Only then will I can be liberated.”
Just as the pirate stove was talking, there were several pirates nearby who were trying to comfort him as if they had thought of something.
"Let's go back. If we wander around the border of Datang again, maybe Datang will attack us again. Isn't it good to be alive?"
But this one didn't plan to go back, so he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw them.
"If you want to leave, you can leave. No matter what, I have to take my younger brothers to bring back money for those who died in the battle, so that their families can live comfortably. Otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
The originally quiet and peaceful border of Datang was about to face another pirate attack. But this time, with the Tang army's victory over the pirates here, who knew the possibility of them making waves again?
Wanghai Township, Yancheng, Chuzhou.
A group of Tang soldiers who were guarding the salt factory were busy here when they heard that their Colonel Xue Li was getting married, and wanted to step forward to help.
Such a scene gave the saltworks an opportunity. They did not notice that there was a small boat parked on the distant coast where they could not see it.
Several children jumped into the water from the boat, and using their home-made equipment, swam towards the seaside to explore the situation on the seaside.
Although many soldiers in the salt field have gone out, the remaining people are still here on guard step by step.
I quickly discovered a few strange little dots on the water.
As the flags of the Tang Army flying on the alert watchtower, several small boats carrying the Tang Army headed towards the black spot.
It's just that these little black dots hurriedly dived into the water after discovering the approaching Tang Jun, making the approaching Tang Jun very curious.
"What was that just now? Was it a fish? I didn't expect such a big fish to exist. If it appears again, I have to catch it and give it to Captain Xue as a gift."
A team member said this, and a team member like him on the other ship nodded here.
"Yes, it's such a good thing to happen to. Then I'll do some patrolling here."
While they were talking here, the Japanese pirates who had dived to the bottom of the water watched the Tang army disperse and hurriedly took advantage of the gap to swim towards the shore.
But maybe they were unlucky. There was nothing in the sea next to the salt factory to intercept sharks. There are many people living on this beach, which makes the sea water full of something that can attract sharks.
Just when these little Japanese pirates thought they could go ashore to investigate the situation, a triangular black thing emerged from the water.
When the black triangle came behind him and opened its bloody mouth, the sea surface was dyed red in an instant. This scene also surprised Tang Jun.
"There are big fish, and they're pretty aggressive."
A person said this, and the leader next to him hurriedly slapped him in the face and said with a smile.
"Idiot, that's a shark! Haven't you seen it? We've also fought it at sea."
The leader of the Tang army said this, and the soldier scratched his head here.
"Look at me, I've forgotten all about fish like this."
They didn't notice that in the distance, towards the deeper sea, there was a black figure, running away quickly.
While this figure was running for his life, he knew that a black figure was here and was terrified.
"I didn't expect that a brother who was with me would be so unlucky. Although he escaped the search of Tang Jun when he entered the seaside, he did not escape the shark and was swallowed by the shark."
Just when the Japanese pirates were frightened here, the Tang army discovered the shark and hurriedly gathered around to kill the shark. This saved the shark from causing trouble to other people and gave the pirate an opportunity to take advantage of.
The pirate was so angry that he glanced at the border of Datang again and swam away into the distance.
"Since there is nothing we can do here, I will choose another direction and sooner or later I will be able to find a place to land on the coast of Datang."
These things at the beach did not attract anyone's attention. When they continued to study the marriage of Xue Li and Xue Xiaowei in their salt farm, other things were temporarily forgotten by them.
Even the newly caught sharks were just cured and salted into bacon. The whole fish was left to dry in the sun, ready to be given to Xue Li as a gift after being marinated.
While busy in the salt field, Li Shimin received a letter in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
This letter was not sent to Li Shimin by Jiang Fangguo, but a letter from Li Shimin's clan, like a family member.
After the letter was delivered to Li Shimin, Li Shimin was very curious when he saw that it was actually a letter from Li Daoliang, the king of Luzhou County.
"What's going on? Why did you send me such a letter?"
Although Li Shimin didn't know what happened to Li Daoliang and why he sent him such a letter, he still opened the letter.
The clan members sent me letters like letters from home for no reason. They must be some private matters and they must be known to me.
Li Shimin is very dissatisfied with this matter among the masters. As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he still has to care about your personal affairs?
"Indeed, as Gan'er suggested, all of you should be enfeoffed to other small countries around the Tang Dynasty, and you should be the heads of a small country. If you have nothing to do, don't bother yourself. That is the best way. OK."
Although Li Shimin said this, Li Daoliang was good at reciting poems and writing arty poems, so he would not cause any trouble to him at all. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and read what was going on in the letter Li Daoliang wrote to him.
Li Shimin, who was struggling here, was afraid that Li Daoliang would mention something embarrassing to him because of trivial matters, but after seeing Li Daoliang's letter, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Okay! That's great. I didn't expect such a thing. I'm so sleepy that I gave you a pillow. I was also thinking about how to tie Li Ying to the Li family's warship, but you gave me a good suggestion."
This letter clearly states what Li Ying did, from the appearance of pirates on the southeast coast, and then by chance, he went to Luzhou to exterminate the pirates and rescue them. He also suffered a slight injury because of saving his daughter. The daughter greatly appreciated Xu Yunyan's secret promise.
Then it was love at first sight...
"The story of a hero saving a beauty is a good story, so I will become a beautiful woman."
When Li Shimin said this, he happily walked out of the main hall where political affairs were handled with the letter in hand, and walked proudly towards where Li Yuan was.
Li Yuan once again was doing nothing in his palace. Since the relationship with Li Shimin eased, Li Yuan felt that it was so happy and interesting. However, not long after he was happy, Li Yuan became quite unsatisfied.
Just when Li Yuan wanted to do what an emperor should do to multiply their descendants and make their Li family more prosperous, Li Shimin rushed in in a panic.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin who came in, and Li Yuan was helpless.
He couldn't do such a good thing. Although Li Yuan was older now, no one would say anything to him if he did something like this when he had nothing to do, not to mention that he still enjoyed it.
Looking at Li Shimin coming over, Li Yuan had no choice but to sit there obediently, "Your Majesty, I don't know when, why are you here?"
Li Shimin didn't care about Li Yuan's weird look and hurriedly came to him. Just as he got closer, he suddenly realized that Li Yuan's clothes seemed a bit too big.
"Father, what are you doing?"
Li Yuan couldn't help but smile as he watched himself taking off his coat and covering an item in front of him.
"Nothing, nothing, it doesn't matter, I just don't know what you are going to do when you come here, Huang Er?"
Li Shimin ignored this and sat directly on the items covered by Li Yuan's clothes. This made Li Yuan feel a little distressed.
What a shrewd person Li Shimin is, how could he not know what is inside? He recognized the shape when he saw it and deliberately sat on it.
Even though the person who gave birth was already trembling and screaming, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously and instead talked here.
"Father, it's a good thing, and it's a good thing we all want."
After Li Shimin spoke, Li Yuan looked at him.
"Since Huang Er said it was a good thing, it must be a good thing. But I don't know how festive this thing is? How can it actually make Huang Er so happy?"
After Li Yuan asked, Li Shimin took Li Daoliang's letter over with a smile, and Li Yuan was looking at the letter handed over by Li Shimin curiously. He couldn't see Li Shimin's expression, so he had no choice but to open it.
As soon as he saw it, Li Yuan started laughing.
"Good thing, this is really a good thing! Then your Majesty, please pass on the decree. Isn't this something we have always wanted to do?"
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded, stood up suddenly, and kicked the cloth robe on the ground with his feet, and a disheveled figure flew out.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuan suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Why are you so angry about such a good thing?"
It's just that Li Yuan felt a little distressed when he looked at the figure who was kicked out and was struggling to get up. Li Shimin shouted,
"father!"
This suddenly shocked Li Yuan. He was the emperor and should be called father. Li Shimin suddenly called him father, and then Li Yuan burst into tears.
"My good son, what's wrong?"
Li Shimin turned around and said, "Father, you must live a long life. You can't do such nonsense at such an old age. What if one day you..."
Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Yuan nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, I listen to you, but I'm too bored here."
"Too boring?"
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then father can come to the court and we can handle the government affairs together!"
