When Li Yuanying received the letter from His Majesty Li Er, watermelons were almost out of season. Li Yuanying was holding half of a watermelon by the seasonal tail, and Wei Shu handled letters from all sides together.
Seeing His Majesty Li Er's scolding throughout, Li Yuanying was dumbfounded. After he figured out what was going on, he pulled Wei Shu and complained a lot: "Brother Huang just read it and scolded me, isn't it always like this when I write letters to Lao Li and your grandfather?" Is it? What's so strange!"
Li Yuanying felt that he was wronged, and he not only exaggerated his nephew, but also praised Li Dejian and Wei Shu. He did a good job, why shouldn't he be praised? Old Wei didn't even say that he was flattering a villain!
Wei Shu said: "Be more careful next time, don't misrepresent the letter."
Li Yuanying resolutely refused to reflect on himself, and snorted, "If he scolds me like that, I won't write to him again!"
Wei Shu knew that his anger came and went quickly, and he had said this kind of angry words so many times, so she didn't take it to heart, and let him stuff the letter at the bottom angrily.
Li Yuanying followed his word and did not write a letter to His Majesty Li Er for the next few days.
Taking advantage of the slack period, Li Yuanying has arranged to start work in various places one after another. Right now, the road from the seaport to Tengzhou has taken shape. It only needs to further widen the road and resettle the people along the way.
After more than half a year of hard work, the shipyard has gradually produced ships that can go to sea. Although there are still many areas that need to be improved, but with systematic guidance and improvement, the ships made by the shipyard are better than many ships now. advanced!
Li Yuanying had high hopes for this seaport. During this period of time, he did not live in the palace at all, but moved to the seaside with his people, and went out for a walk every day to see the progress.
Ever since the first batch of sea boats were improved, Li Yuanying looked at Li Dejian and the others with envious eyes, and was very angry at the thought of them being able to run freely on the sea!
Li Yuanying was so angry that he had other thoughts. Although the emperor did not allow him to go to sea, Henan Road is far away from Chang'an, and there is no news that it will not go back for ten days or eight days. Eight or ten days is enough for him to stroll around the surrounding sea!
Li Yuanying made up his mind to go for a walk in the sea, and practiced Fushui with Li Dejian and the others every day.
He also practiced in summer, after all, the weather is hot, the water is cool, and he is a boy, even if he is naked, he can dive into the water without any problem. What's more, there is a small lake in his palace that draws running water, so he can swim as he wants.
Because he wanted to board the ship, Li Yuanying also seriously thought about how to improve the food and medical conditions at sea. After referring to the system's opinion and Sun Simiao's opinion, he eloquently listed the list of supplies that need to be replenished, and asked the medical school to set up a first aid course, preferably one-on-one teaching, so that any member who goes to sea must master it first aid method.
Li Yuanying was such a thief, he didn't even mention to Wei Shu and Sun Simiao that he wanted to go to sea to play, others thought he was preparing for Li Dejian and the others! As for Li Yuanying going to learn it himself, then don't worry about it, Li Yuanying has always liked to join in the fun, so why doesn't he learn what he can learn
Therefore, until the first batch of improved sea-going ships left the factory, no one discovered what Li Yuanying was up to.
On the day of the ship test, Li Dejian led the first batch of improved sea-going ships to set off, and the first destination was an island not too far from the harbor. Because these small islands are separated from the Henan Province by a piece of sea, they look uninhabited, and they don't even have decent vegetation.
The fleet arrived at the island at noon, and Li Dejian asked people to stop the ship for repairs, check the repairs, and record the records, and then proceed to the next destination after confirming that there is no problem. As a result, during this inspection, a problem was detected. It was not that the quality of the ship was not good, and something went wrong, but that there were more people on board!
Li Yuanying had been hiding on the boat all this time, and after uploading it, he wobbled so much that he was dizzy, so he simply got out of his hiding place to find a place to sleep soundly. He wasn't seasick, but he got up too early in the morning and was sleepy.
The people who inspected the cabin suddenly saw a big living person appearing out of nowhere, and were startled. Fortunately, Li Yuanying saw Tian'er staying with them, they recognized Li Yuanying after a few more glances, and went to report to Li Dejian.
When Li Dejian heard this, things exploded. He hoped that the people below were wrong, but when he rushed over to see, Li Yuanying had already been woken up, and was sitting there rubbing his eyes and yawning.
Li Dejian said quietly: "If something happens to you, we will all be killed by you."
Li Yuanying was a little guilty by Li Dejian's words, but he still said optimistically: "It will be fine. You see, we have so many people, such good ships, and such sophisticated weapons. Even if we encounter pirates or something, we will surely win!" He said He pulled Li Dejian and said, "You can't send me back. It's a big taboo to divide troops when the situation is unclear! Let's go together, and we can take care of everything."
Li Dejian didn't want to talk to him, he knew very well that even ten of them couldn't talk better than Li Yuanying.
Knowing that the boat had already docked, Li Yuanying regained his spirits, and he followed Li Dejian to see the island.
Stepping on the unfamiliar land, Li Yuanying was not afraid at all. He found the direction to look towards Datang, and found that all he could see was the wide sea, and there was no shadow of Datang at all.
The weather was fine that day, and the sea breeze was very friendly, which made Li Yuanying very comfortable. He saw flocks of seabirds soaring on the sea surface, flying and stopping with the waves rising and falling, and turned his head to Li Dejian excitedly and said, "Have you ever been to the sea? Has he seen these birds? I wonder if he can Taming the birds!"
Li Dejian didn't really want to talk to him.
Li Yuanying was not afraid that others would not speak, so he harassed Li Dejian for a while, and then went to chat with Du He.
If Li Dejian was just helpless, Du He was really frightened by Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying was really going to have an accident when he went to sea with them. Not to mention what would happen to His Majesty Li Er, he would not be able to explain it to Chengyang alone.
Du He also didn't want to talk to Li Yuanying, and even when he answered Li Yuanying's questions, he was weak. When it was time for lunch, Du He discussed with Li Dejian about turning back. Anyway, they sailed for half a day, and such a long distance was enough for a test boat, so there was no need to take Li Yuanying with him to continue the adventure.
Li Dejian also had the same idea.
Li Yuanying didn't think so, he was unhappy: "Don't you want to go to the country of Wa?" He participated in the whole process of formulating the route, so naturally he knew the destination of this trip. Li Yuanying said, "The Japanese ship is so broken and can come across the sea, why are we afraid of such a ship?"
When he was in the Imperial College, Li Yuanying also met the students from the Wa country, and had heard something about the Wa country from them.
Li Dejian and Du He understood why Li Yuanying actively participated in the discussion of the trial route, and he made up his mind to follow from the very beginning!
Du He complained: "Your Highness should discuss it with us."
Li Yuanying said: "After discussing with you, will you let me follow?"
Duhe: "..."
No, not only will he not agree to let him follow, but he will also make a small report with Wei Shu and the others, and with His Majesty Li Er, and resolutely put an end to his idea of going to sea!
To tell the truth, Du He felt very uncomfortable when he first arrived at sea, and he wished he could quit immediately. Later, under the encouragement of Chengyang's soft words, he persevered, and gradually got used to the life floating on the sea. He really couldn't understand how Li Yuanying's energy could be so vigorous, and he wanted to go to Japan to see it with great interest.
Li Dejian didn't say a word, and was going to send Li Yuanying back directly, absolutely not giving Li Yuanying a chance to convince himself.
Seeing that Li Dejian's heart was as hard as iron, Li Yuanying didn't give him the slightest room to express himself, so he could only sit on the big rock on the deserted island and sigh. He first said that he had lost his father a long time ago, and then he added that the life of the mother and son in the palace was so embarrassing, that they were not allowed to be free at all, and that even Fan was born after thousands of efforts. He also said that this time may be his only chance to go to sea, and it is really sad to only see such a small island.
There is such a kind of person in the world, even if you clearly know that he is pretending to be pitiful, you still can't see his sad face. When Li Dejian heard that Li Yuanying was staying there and refused to leave, his eyes almost turned red. There was really nothing he could do about him, so he could only say: "Okay, let's try the voyage according to the plan."
Li Yuanying was immediately happy, and he didn't look depressed just now. He jumped up and said, "Then shall we set off now?" I am full of sleep, and I especially want to experience the feeling of standing on the deck and riding the wind and waves.
Now Li Dejian only wanted to complete the trial voyage as soon as possible. Hearing that there was no delay, he blew the trumpet to call people to gather, pack up the belongings, count the number of people, and quickly took everyone on board without missing a beat. He warned Li Yuanying: "Your Highness must follow me every step of the way."
Li Yuanying nodded his head like a pounding garlic, and was extremely obedient.
…
At this time, Huang Ying and Huang Li hurried to find Wei Shu.
In the morning Li Yuanying said that he would play a game with them and let them solve the riddles to find the hints he left. Whoever finds them first will be rewarded. From time to time, Li Yuanying would come up with some new ways of playing on a whim. Huang Ying and Huang Li didn't notice anything wrong, and happily played the decryption game.
As a result, around noon, Huang Ying solved the puzzle and found the letter Li Yuanying had left for Wei Shu. Huang Ying and Huang Ori felt that something was wrong, and they didn't even have time to read the reward Li Yuanying left for them, so they ran anxiously with the letter to Wei Shu.
Wei Shu didn't see Li Yuanying all morning, and felt a little strange, but she thought Li Yuanying was going to see Li Dejian and the others to test the ship, so she didn't pay much attention. When Huang Ying and Huang Oriole came to her together and brought her a letter from Li Yuanying, Wei Shu's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong.
After reading the letter, Wei Shu sighed.
Knowing Li Yuanying's personality for a long time, Wei Shu naturally wouldn't think that Li Yuanying would be a different person after getting engaged to her. It's just that although Li Yuanying loves to make troubles in the past few years, he hasn't caused anything unacceptable, so most of his troubles are condoned by everyone.
In the end, Li Yuanying secretly followed Li Dejian and the others to the sea!
Li Yuanying also told her not to worry, he is very good in the water, he might be able to save people in case of any accident, anyway, he is definitely not the one to be rescued by others! The most important thing is to help him block other people, so that no one will know that he has gone to sea, or he will really not be able to go out to play in the future!
Wei Shu really wanted to tell everyone about this directly, and it was best to let others help to keep an eye on Li Yuanying! But she knew Li Yuanying, Li Yuanying was not born with a temperament that could be restrained, how could he stand being stared at everywhere? She could only tell the outside world that Li Yuanying was sick and could not see outsiders, and only told them about Li Yuanying's going to sea in private when Wu Mei and the others came to visit after hearing the news.
Di Renjie said: "He's too foolish, tell us anyway." Hearing that Li Yuanying was too sick to see guests, they were all very worried, who knew he was out to play!
Lu Zhaolin said: "General Li and the others should find His Highness soon, right? They may send His Highness back before night."
Wu Mei calmly analyzed: "With His Royal Highness's character, he will definitely not be happy to be sent back after going out." In terms of persuasion, Li Dejian and Du He are not Li Yuanying's opponents. If she was on the boat, she would choose to give Li Yuanying a blow. Hand knife, knock him out and bring him back, never let him have a chance to speak!
Wei Shu nodded.
All they can do now is to help Li Yuanying cover up one or two things, so that the news of Li Yuanying's going to sea will not reach the ears of His Majesty Li Er. Not to mention that it is a serious crime for a vassal king to leave his fief without authorization, but Li Yuanying's daring to sail with the fleet is enough to make His Majesty Li Er furious!
