I’m The King Chapter 1078: :East and west (seventy-one)
Li Canfeng rushed all the way from the conference hall to the Qinzheng store where Gao Yuan usually works, causing all the guards to stare at this man who is fatter than the other two conferences combined Discussing politics, no one thought that this big fat man could run so fast?
What's the matter? All the guards are grumbling in their hearts.
"Li Yizheng, what's the matter? Then he fell down, He Weiyuan was startled, bowed his body, and used his back to force Li Can's stomach, which had been stretched out far away, to forcefully resist it, stepped forward with one foot and made a lunge, and put his hands on the pillar, and then lifted Li Can's body Hold on.
Li Can stabilized his body and patted He Weiyuan hard, "Wei Yuan, thank you, thank you, is the king there?"
"Here we are!" He Weiyuan turned around and looked at Li Can: "What's the matter with the politics?"
Li Can smiled, took a step, and rolled into the Qinzheng store like a ball.
Gao Yuan looked up from the big case, looked at Li Can who was full of excitement, and stroked his chin thoughtfully, "What makes my Li Yizheng so excited? It's actually running away Are you here?”
"How does the king know that I came here?" Li Can asked in surprise.
Gao Yuan laughed: "With your body, when you run, it's like a heavy hammer beating a drum. You can hear it from a long distance. Look at the sweat on your head. Did it come from running or something?"
"Your Majesty is really meticulous!" Li Can said in a timely manner, calmly, "My Majesty, big happy event brother"
Looking at the impatient Li Can, Gao Yuan stretched out his hand, "Don't tell me, let me guess, it must be Kou Shuguang who is back, isn't it?"
Seeing Li Can's stupid look, Gao Yuan stood up suddenly, "They really have to come back?"
"My lord, the fleet has arrived in Cangzhou, and they are still on their way, but the express report has arrived in Jicheng, General Kou and the others are back."
Under Gao Yuan's insistence and based on Li Can's long-distance fleet, Dahan formed his own long-distance fleet, led by Kou Shuguang, and sailed to sea. A lot of money was invested, and Jiang Jiaquan agreed to build the fleet because he was tempted by the prospect of the mountains full of gold and silver told by Gao Yuan. For the Han Kingdom, they always feel short of money. If such a place can really be found, That is indeed of great help to the big man. But no one thought that the long voyage that Li Can said could return in half a year, but the fleet went there for a full two years without any news, even Li Can, who has always been full of confidence, also thought that they must have encountered an accident on the vast sea. The failure of this incident made Li Can unable to hold his head up in front of Jiang Jiaquan and Yan Shengxu, and even spoke cautiously. , for fear of accidentally reminding the two of them that the investment of hundreds of thousands of taels was in vain. Now that Kou Shuguang is back, how can Li Can not be excited?
"Is everyone safe?" Gao Yuan didn't ask the harvest first, but first asked about the safety of the crew on the voyage. In the long-distance fleet, the core personnel are almost all the direct descendants of his Li family, and even one of his sons is also on board. In order to express his sincere determination to surrender to Gao Yuan, he resolutely ignored the crying of his wife and forced himself to leave. Shengdi stuffed his son into the fleet.
"It's okay, it's okay, the loss is not big, but the bulletin didn't make it clear, it just said that the harvest is very rich." Li Can rubbed his eyes and said loudly.
"By the way, I remember that Li Quan, the youngest of your family, is also in the fleet. Is he alright?" What happened to Li Quan.
"Okay, okay!" Li Can nodded again and again, "There was also a letter from the family in Cangzhou. Ah Quan went out this time, not only gained knowledge, but also became a real man. Heitan has a head. Hehehe, but compared to before, he is much stronger. The letter from the family said that after returning home, even his mother can hardly recognize him."
Hearing Li Can's words, Gao Yuan also laughed out loud, "How can you see a rainbow if you don't experience wind and rain, a man should go out and venture, so that he can grow up, Li Yizheng, it seems that I want to congratulate you too! "
"Thank you, King, for your praise!" Li Can also smiled like a flower, but he was thinking in his heart that after going back, he should train this youngest as a key successor. A good image will be of great benefit to the Li family in the future. As for the eldest and second child, well, if they want to compete, they might as well go out and make contributions in the future.
Ten days later, two large convoys, one from the east gate and the other from the west gate, arrived in Jicheng almost at the same time. The ones entering from the west gate were the Zhao Kingdom mission led by Zhao Wuji, the King of Zhao Kingdom. Those who entered the east gate were members of the long-distance fleet led by Kou Shuguang. For the people of Jicheng who ran to the west gate to watch Zhao Wang enter the city, this day was the day they regretted the most, because the long-distance voyage into the city from the east gate Not only the scale of the fleet far surpassed that of Zhao Wang's mission, but also the various rare gadgets that came with the fleet opened the eyes of the people who went to the east gate.
Kou Shuguang's fleet has reached about 200 carriages. The long line can't be seen at a glance, and the ones walking in the front of the line turned out to be strange animals with long noses. That physique, Even the most ferocious tiger is far from comparable.
This kind of long-nosed animal that people in Jicheng have never seen is the elephant that Kou Shuguang brought back this time. Slowly entering the city, the elephant is huge, but the drivers are black and thin, forming a sharp contrast.
Twenty elephants walked in neat steps on the Central Avenue, each step made a rumbling sound, and the people watching could not help but let out a cry of surprise and took a step back.
Behind these elephants, there are some animals behind dozens of carriages, including white-haired tigers, lion-like monsters, red-haired orangutans, and big bulls with horns on their noses. , all of which left the onlookers dumbfounded, my God, what are these things?
Kou Shuguang sat on the horse. Compared with before he set off, he looked darker and thinner, but his big piercing eyes were filled with endless joy. Risk, but finally returned successfully, and the harvest this time is enough for Hanwang and Zhengshitang to have enough motivation to support him to embark on the journey again.
Going to the sea this time really opened Kou Shuguang's eyes, and what he saw and encountered along the way also made him understand that there is such a vast land and endless treasures outside the Central Plains. These should naturally be included under the glory of the King of Han.
When he set off, he took a total of 3,000 people including sailors on the voyage, and now when he returns, there are still 3,000 people. Of course, among the 3,000 people, more than a thousand people are not Those who followed him on the expedition were some submissive servants selected by him from the conquered places. These people will also be his forerunners and powerful helpers when he goes out again.
There was a rushing sound of horseshoes ahead, Kou Shuguang raised his head and looked forward.
"According to the king's eloquence, order Kou Shuguang to lead his troops to Central Street." He Weiyuan stood in front of the team and said loudly.
"The minister takes orders!" Kou Shuguang clasped his fists in both hands and replied loudly. At the end of the street is the royal palace of the King of Han, and walking on Central Street means that the King of Han will greet him in person.
Most of the people who followed him didn't know the difference between walking on East Street and Central Street, but those generals knew the difference. This honor.
After reading the King of Han's order, He Weiyuan took the reins and walked to Kou Shuguang's side. "Welcome home, Commander Kou!"
"Thank you Commander He!" Kou Shuguang said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for two years, how is Han Wang doing?"
"Of course it's very good. Not long ago we won a big victory and taught the Qin people a hard lesson. Hahaha, don't mention how much fun it is!" He Weiyuan said happily: "At this time, you also Coming back, this is really a double blessing!"
"On the way, I've heard about how we beat up Qin Jun. I'm happy, happy, but unfortunately I didn't participate!" Kou Shuguang said with some regret.
"What's the point? Your Majesty is more interested in your trip, but you don't know, even if we defeated Li Xin and left this Great Qin Army God on the prairie, His Majesty would not Excited to hear that you have returned safely, Commander Kou, there is another person entering the city at Ximen today, do you know who it is?" He Weiyuan said mysteriously.
"Who is it?" Kou Shuguang asked cooperatively.
"Zhao Wuji, the king of Zhao Kingdom." He Weiyuan raised his head and said proudly: "Zhao Wuji should have walked on Zhongyang Street, but in order to make way for you, at this time, Master Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has led them to change the way. Advance to the posthouse and wait for the king to meet you before meeting King Zhao!"
"Ah!" Kou Shuguang said in surprise: "Is this okay? I am just an ordinary general. Even if I have a little skill after returning from a long voyage, how can I compare with King Zhao?"
"In the eyes of the king, you are much more valuable than that Zhao Wang who is making money." He Weiyuan laughed, "Let's go, the king and the ministers are waiting for you!" (to be continued)
