Seeing Bai Chun pouting in anger, Li Hong was speechless. He handed a cup of tea to Bai Chun himself, and then lazily said: "You don't even know the name of Chen Jingzhi's daughter, how can you go there?" Looking for it? The city of Yangzhou is not big, but it is not small. With a population of nearly 400,000, looking for a woman of unknown age and appearance is like looking for a needle in a haystack, you know
Bai Chun was not discouraged by Li Hong's blow. He shook his head, and the hair on the back of his head swayed like a waterfall: "I have Jingwei in my hands. I should be able to find it by following Li Jingye's mansion. Your Highness, you He said that if Chen Jingzhi’s daughter is only 28 years old, she is as beautiful as a flower, and her beauty is as beautiful as a beautiful lady..."
"I think you are just like Baosi. I don't want to pay attention to you. You can just dream on your own." Li Hong shook off Bai Chun's arm and walked to the back deck.
This goblin was startled. Ever since he passed Dengzhou, he began to fantasize about having a poetic and picturesque encounter with that fairy-like young lady from aristocratic family, or some other famous lady in the south of the Yangtze River.
Even if you can't fall in love at first sight, you have to do whatever you want. In short, according to the white fairy's wishes, no matter what, during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, we must recruit a few beauties for the East Palace. Otherwise, only Pei Xingjian and Yang Yu will The East Palace is too lonely.
He obviously regards Xiaoxue and the others as dead people. When he goes back, he will tell Xiaoxue and the others to let Xiaoxue and others take care of the white goblin, but... the white goblin is now in the East Palace, and with his deliberate connivance, he has gradually gained the right to tell the truth. Xiaoxue Do they dare to go back to the past and occasionally have fun with the white goblin
Li Hong was skeptical. In his opinion, Bai Chun now had the air of a eldest sister. Moreover, after following him for many years, his knowledge, knowledge, intelligence, etc. were not comparable to those of several women.
However, isn’t this what I want? Regardless of whether the Crown Princess is in charge of the East Palace, or whoever is in charge of the East Palace, there will always be a fight between you and me, and a palace fight for favor. But if there is a person who has no interests involved in taking charge of the East Palace, wouldn't it be like this? Can you save yourself a lot of troubles
Arriving on the back deck, Lawless, Mang Zhong, and Cheetah were tinkering with a fishing rod. Li Hong went over to take a look and asked, "How's it going? Is it done? Let me take a look at this fishhook." How about hanging earthworms to catch fish?"
"Your Highness, it's hard to find earthworms nowadays. I found some in Manjiang Garden yesterday, but they were all dead!"
"Let's just kill earthworms. As long as they are usable, as long as the fish eat them, I'm afraid the fish will find the earthworms too flavorful and will spoil them if they don't bother to eat them." Li Hong picked up the fishhook, looked at it, and threw it to Mang Zhong.
The two mighty ships sailed down the river from Yangzhou and soon arrived at the Qiantang River. As the five-tooth warship stood out from the crowd and walked high on the Qiantang River, some small boats started to avoid them when they were far away, fearing that they would not be able to escape. , was hit by something as big as the Five-Tooth Battleship.
What's more, only the government, or those with high authority, were qualified to sit on this five-tooth warship. Moreover, it has been several years, and such a majestic five-tooth warship has not appeared in the Qiantang River for a long time.
Therefore, when some civilian ships and other small boats saw the majestic five-tooth warship slowly sailing on the Qiantang River, they already started to drive the ship far away quickly, and then stuck their heads out, full of joy. He looked shocked at this big guy swimming on the Qiantang River.
"Your Highness, it seems that the people of Hangzhou are still quite in awe of the five-tooth warships of the Tang Dynasty. You see, these days, whenever we walk on the river, those small boats are afraid to avoid them and stay far away. Just make way for us. It can be seen that if such a majestic ship goes to sea, it will not be much worse than the ship built by Li Chunfeng, right?" Mang Zhong stood behind Li Hong, watching the small boat on the river struggling to move out.
At this time, on the far embankment of the Qiantang River, the dock that was originally in full swing was surrounded by many people and officials of the Tang Dynasty due to the entry of the Five-Tooth Battleship. All of them were looking eagerly at the Tang Dynasty that was sailing in the center of the river. The pride of the water: the five-tooth battleship.
Hangzhou governor Li Chongyi, Hangzhou governor Wei Siwen and other officials also stretched their necks and stood at the other end of the crowd, forming a small group with other officials and looking at the steadily approaching five-tooth warship.
"Mr. Qiao, the Five-Tooth Battleship is indeed a sharp weapon in the hands of our Tang navy. Such a mighty and majestic ship cannot be compared to those of the Japanese and other ships." Wei Siwen, as the governor of Hangzhou, looked at the clear outline in the distance. Wuya Battleship said with admiration.
"Yes, the governor of Quanzhou wanted to tell the court a few days ago, saying that Japanese and other foreign ships have been harassing our fishermen in the Tang Dynasty, and even some brave people would even land and plunder the people along the coast while our navy of the Tang Dynasty was wandering elsewhere. "I think this is something they made out of nothing. How can such a big ship not deter those barbarians at sea?" Another official looked at the Five-Tooth Battleship and also gave it a high compliment. expectations, praised.
In his eyes, he couldn't believe that with such a big ship guarding the coastal states, they could still be bullied by foreign tribes. Obviously this was not because of the incompetence of our Tang Dynasty ships, but because of Cui Zhibian, the navy commander's use of troops. No, so it gave the Japanese country an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Li Chongyi listened to the buzzing voices of the officials next to him, and from time to time he concentrated on what the onlookers were talking about, but he himself, looking at the five-tooth battleship, said nothing.
I have developed a habit over the years. Before you fully understand something, it is best not to express your opinions in a hurry, because you will never know what kind of mystery is hidden under the surface of the seemingly problem. .
Everyone is not a fool, and every official is not so stupid that he cannot distinguish between grains and grains, but the reason why they are willing to express opinions before understanding the real situation is entirely due to their ignorance.
They always think that with their knowledge and vision, they can climb high and see far away, overlooking the world. They always think that with their knowledge, they have mastered everything in the world.
They are complacent and do not seek progress. They are pampered and have short-sighted ambitions. They always think that the capable people in this world are only half as good as themselves compared with them. They never really want to face the problems they have. .
They are always willing to look at problems subjectively and believe what they want to believe. For things that are beyond their understanding, even if they are correct, they will use various methods to overturn the correctness of the problem, and even put it aside without hesitation. Classified among the strange and chaotic gods.
Li Chongyi smiled and said nothing. As the eldest son of Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong, he had always been loyal to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Not only himself, but also his second brother Li Hui and his third brother Li Chongzhen were always loyal to the imperial court that gave them high officials and generous salaries. , are all loyal.
Originally, Li Chongyi wanted to take advantage of Pei Yan's rebellion in Chang'an, and because it involved Li Jingye, the governor of Yangzhou, he was afraid that something might happen to His Royal Highness when he went to Yangzhou, or that he would be disrespected by Li Jingye, so he requested to go to Yangzhou to pick him up, but But he was rejected by His Royal Highness Prince Li Hong.
At this moment, watching the Five-Tooth Battleship slowly approaching, the worries that had been hanging around for a few days were completely put down at this moment. A relieved smile appeared on his face, and he watched the Five-Tooth Battleship hoisting its flags and preparing to slowly dock. At the pier.
Li Hong stood at the bow of the ship, keeping the telescope in front of his eyes, taking in the expressions of Li Chongyi and others at the dock. Naturally, even the inspiring expressions of the people watching over there were intact. See it in your eyes.
It was beyond his expectation that the Five-Tooth Battleship could have such a shocking effect. He originally thought that it would only cause such a sensation when three of Li Chunfeng's five large ships sailed into the Qiantang River. Unexpectedly, now, A mere five-tooth warship shocked them.
Bai Chun put down the snow-white silver telescope that was specially made for her. Naturally, she also noticed the expressions of everyone on the pier, so she looked at Li Hong, smiled, and said lightly: "How are you, Your Highness, slave?" I have already said that the Five-Tooth Battleship is already big enough and is completely the pride of my Datang, but you still have to spend so much money..."
"Do you believe I will throw you out of here?" Li Hong said angrily.
Little did he know that just a small five-tooth battleship would make these people look like they had seen a mirage, and they were all amazed and clapping their hands in praise.
Originally, he told Bai Chun on the ship that when Li Chunfeng came over, he would let these people see the real giant ship so as to give them a surprise, but he did not expect that this credit would be taken away by the Five-Tooth Battleship.
If the giant ship he proposed to build were to sail in again, wouldn't it be able to arouse people's inner shock and intuitive feelings
Bai Chun kept silent, but her beautiful cheeks were full of dissatisfaction: "Huh, just tell the truth, what's the matter!"
Of course, she didn't dare to say these words. If she said them out, the prince, who is not afraid of anything, might really throw herself down.
After all, His Highness the Crown Prince could not wait to go out to sea on his huge ship to watch the sunrise and sunset, and watch the strange scenery of the moon hanging on the sea.
Moreover, he has to swim in the sea, and he has to let himself swim in the sea with him. If he throws him in now, wouldn't it give him an excuse to practice his water skills.
Following Li Hong, he walked down the gangway. As everyone, headed by Li Chongyi, the governor of Hangzhou, greeted Li Hong one by one, suddenly, a huge exclamation came from the crowd on the embankment!
"Ah? Look at the distance on the river. What is that?"
"Oh my god, is that a moving town?"
"It's hanging a sail, it's a ship, it's a sailboat."
"How is it possible? How could there be such a huge sailing ship!"
As everyone gasped in admiration, Li Hong, Bai Chun, Li Chongyi and other officials all looked at the river involuntarily.
At this time, I saw at the end of the river, black shadows like fortresses, like dark clouds, like thunder, and more like huge waves, slowly coming from the distance on the river, with the overwhelming force of overwhelming mountains. Drive this way!
"This... this... what is this?" Bai Chun's face turned pale, and she grabbed Li Hong's hand and asked anxiously.
In her heart, she never believed that the object in the distance that looked like the shadow of a green mountain was the giant ship in the mouth of His Highness the Crown Prince!
