"Your Majesty, all the Xueyantuo people who assassinated the Lord of Yongping County have been beheaded."

In Xuanzheng Hall, Li Zhong lowered his head and came to Li Shimin.

Xue Li did not hide anything about chasing and destroying the Xueyantuo people.

There are many restless factors in Chang'an City.

This time, the thunder attack from the guards of the King of Chu's palace was to let everyone know that some bottom lines cannot be broken through. Once they step on them, they will end up being broken into pieces.

Xue Li was not even interested in capturing the Xueyantuo people alive.

no need!

No matter what the reason, these people deserve to die.

As for who is the idea behind it, what does it matter?

Anyway, it will be destroyed sooner or later.

"Is it really a Xueyantuo person?"

Li Shimin's voice was a little cold.

Last year, Xue Li and Su Liegang brought thousands of elite soldiers to the Xueyantuo people with a thunder blow, but they didn't expect that they would actually hit Xiao Yumi.

"It's true, and the leader should be Xue Yantuo's little Khan Yimang. Xue Rengui and the guards of the Chu Prince's Mansion intercepted them in Sanyuan County."

"Last year, the court discussed whether it was necessary to attack Xueyantuo in large numbers. Now the cement road from Jinyang to Shuozhou is about to be completed, and it is time to re-consider the conquest of Xueyantuo."

Li Shimin looked at the north and showed a solemn expression on his face.

He was not worried at all when he beat Xue Yantuo.

But he was a little hesitant about what to do after the battle.

Less than ten years after the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, new forces like Xue Yantuo appeared on the grassland.

This is under your own governance. If a new emperor ascends the throne in the future, will the situation change faster?

You cannot leave such disasters to your descendants.

However, how to solve the grassland problem once and for all is a headache for Li Shimin.

"Have Kuan'er arrived in Hanzhong?"

Li Shimin suddenly thought of Li Kuan’s grassland strategy. So many years have passed, and it seems that the Xueyantuo people have not become more docile at all.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the King of Chu, has arrived in Hanzhong the day before yesterday. Calculate the time and will be able to return to Chang'an tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

In an important prefecture like Hanzhong, Baiqisi naturally has power there.

"This incident happened this time, I really want to hear what Kuan'er's opinion is."

Li Shimin wanted to hear Li Kuan's opinions when he went to Xueyantuo in public or private affairs.

In the past six months, Li Kuan has not been in Chang'an, and Li Shimin is really not used to it.

...

Guangzhou, Guangta Wharf.

Looking at the people coming and going on the dock, Fang Yiai felt a long-lost sense of familiarity.

"Gaoyang, this is Guangzhou. Let's find a place to take a break and taste the lychees here."

Fang Yiai looked up at the sun in the sky, feeling that her throat was starting to get angry.

The summer in Lingnan is so hot.

The key is that the heat here is that kind of damp heat, which is completely different from Chang'an City.

If it were Chang'an, no matter how hot the weather was, as long as you don't stay in the sun, you wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.

But in Lingnan, I feel that my whole body is sticky everywhere and feels so uncomfortable.

"I want to find a place to take a good bath now, and I feel so uncomfortable."

Gao Yang felt that his clothes and back were completely stuck together. He heard that Nanyang was hotter than here, so she really couldn't imagine how the people there lived the summer.

"We went to the dock and asked Fang Town where we set up our site. Then we went to rest for a while before we could go to find Brother Cheng. He has been in Guangzhou for several months and should be more familiar with the situation here than we do."

Thinking that he hadn't seen Cheng Chumo for a long time, Fang Yiai actually missed him a little.

This kind of relationship made him feel a little ashamed.

"I heard that the second brother's mansion also arranged for people to come to Guangzhou to buy land in a large amount and planted a lot of sugarcane?"

Although Gao Yang and Li Kuan have a fair relationship, as long as they are children of the royal family, it is impossible not to pay attention to Li Kuan's movements; he is really too capable of making trouble, and the key is that he is still favored.

"That's right, the Chu Prince's Mansion arranged for Xu Jingzong's son Xu Ang to come to Guangzhou to take charge of everything in the mansion. Speaking of which, Xu Ang is considered half of the master of Guangzhou City."

Fang Yiai is much more familiar with the affairs of the Chu King's Mansion than ordinary people.

Even Xu Ang and Fang Yiai knew each other.

Of course, it’s just a nod, and I haven’t had too many dealings before.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Because Xu Ang's daughter married the son of Duke Geng, Feng Ang, and the Feng family is the largest local snake in Lingnan Road."

Although the Fang family was considered to have a noble status in the Tang Dynasty, Fang Yiai was still self-aware. In Guangzhou, the Feng family, which is just like the local emperor, is still incomparable to it.

Of course, if there is any conflict, Fang Yiai is not afraid of it.

In his head, he never knew how the word "Fear" was written.

"So that's it. No wonder my second brother sent him to Guangzhou as the shopkeeper, but he was the one who could do his best."

Gao Yang and his group were so disturbed that soon, people from the East China Sea Trade stationed at the wharf came over and took them to the Fang family's yard in Guangzhou.

"Guangzhou City has become more prosperous than I did last time, and there are more barbarian maritime merchants than before."

Fang Yiai paid a little attention to the surroundings and discovered the changes in Guangzhou City.

...

Say it!

Say it!

Before Fang Yiai could enter the door of Fang Mansion, the sound of horse hooves attracted everyone.

"Haha, Yi Ai, you are finally willing to leave Beijing. Now we brothers are finally reunited."

Cheng Chumo jumped off the horse like a gust of wind and came with a bear hug with Fang Yiai.

Meet an old friend in a foreign land!

For ancient people, this was really something to celebrate.

In the era of underdeveloped transportation, there was no telephone or Internet. Many friends might be separated and they would be at Mengpo Bridge next time they met.

Although Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai are both from Chang'an and will not never see each other for the rest of their lives, if you can meet in Guangzhou, this kind of opportunity may really be gone again.

"Brother Cheng, why are you so drying like black charcoal? Now someone is getting darker than me."

Fang Yiai looked at Cheng Chumo in front of her and felt that the change was really big.

"If you stay in Guangzhou for half a year, you will become like me."

Cheng Chumo is not a person who can stay at home. He wanders in the sun every day. It would be strange if he can't be dark.

"How is Guangzhou fun?"

Fang Yiai was not in a hurry to enter the door, and just stood there and started chatting with Cheng Chu silently. Gao Yang, who was beside him, rolled his eyes and went in first.

Gao Yang used to look down on Fang Yiai, and naturally had no good impression of Cheng Chumo, who was like Fang Yiai.

However, as he went south, Gao Yang and Fang Yiai's relationship improved greatly. At least Fang Yiai didn't have to be by his side all the time, but he lived a monk-like life.

"Princess, this is the lychees I just picked from the tree. Now it's time to taste delicious."

In the lobby, as soon as Gao Yang sat down, Fangzhen had already prepared an ice basin and placed it aside to cool down. Then, the servants served all kinds of fresh fruits.

Of course, as a characteristic of Lingnan, the lychees at the heaviest season are definitely recommended by Fang Town.

Some people say that lychees are not suitable for overnight stays after picking them, and they will develop fleshy insects and their taste will become worse.

So when everyone eats lychees, it is very likely that even meat worms will be eaten.

Because, even Lingnan, which produces lychees abundantly, no household can eat the newly picked lychees from the trees in time.

Gao Yang picked up a lychee with a rough appearance and a bumpy skin, and couldn't help but put it in front of his nose and smell it.

The smell of the flesh has been exposed through the skin, and the sweetness makes people want to eat a few bites.

Gao Yang's slender jade fingers gently pinched the skin of the lychee and peeled off the bright red skin.

The originally red lychees immediately turned into a big white pearl.

The transparent and elastic flesh made people resist put it in their mouth and take a bite.

"Um!"
