Chapter 293: Birthday of Chang Kun, Admiral of Jiaozhou Navy.
Now Sean is stationed in the capital, leading the Black Ice Platform and taking charge of many things.
And Uesugi Tora often led his troops on the border with Qing Kingdom.
Li An had originally planned to go alone with Ku He on this trip. They did not need any other help as they were going to Dadong Mountain to meet up with Haitang Duoduo and Lang Tao.
After that, the strength around you will slowly gather.
But Zhan Doudou still sent He Daoren over, wanting him to accompany him.
It was conceivable that perhaps He Daoren had also been given an order - if things went wrong, even if it meant blocking the way, he would ensure that the two imperial masters returned safely.
"My two Imperial Masters, you have worked hard on this journey. Please be careful!"
Shangshu Wang Yun has come to see you off on behalf of Your Majesty.
Recalling what happened in the imperial study before, Li An asked Zhan Doudou if the Queen Mother knew what happened here?
Zhan Doudou answered hesitantly: "I should have guessed it!"
Ang Lee looked a little dazed.
I really should have promised Zhan Doudou that we would get married when I came back!
But it also feels like setting a flag, and it feels a bit unlucky.
Li An nodded and thanked Wang Yun for seeing him off. Just as he was about to order the carriage to set off, a sharp voice behind him stopped him:
"Master, please go slowly! Please go slowly!"
It turned out that the long-missing eunuch Yu Wenyun walked to the city gate in small steps: "His Majesty has ordered that Li An, the national teacher, be given a tiger talisman, which authorizes him to mobilize the Donghai County Navy. As for how to do it specifically, please let Li An, the national teacher, make your own judgment!"
Taking the tiger talisman, Li An slowly shook his head.
"The news of Master Ku He and I leaving the capital will be blocked for three days. You can also keep an eye out for spies in the city."
"Master Imperial Master, think carefully!"
Yu Wenyun bowed deeply, turned around and went back to the palace, conveying Li Ang's meaning.
This Yu Wenyun is quite capable. After many years, he is still standing tall in the palace. He is quite a figure.
Judging from his breath and speed when walking between the palace and the city gate, his martial arts skills are not low.
Looking at the tiger talisman in his hand, Li An did not intend to use it. He put it into his robe and stored it in the system space. Li An nodded to the back and said, "Don't pass by!"
A subtle voice, empowered by the true energy, rang in Wang Yun's ears: Pay more attention to the Black Ice Stage and Sean. My disciples are in the Wanshizhai.
Wang Yun's expression changed and he bowed to see him off.
Taoist He drove the carriage, and the carriage carrying the two masters sped towards the direction of Donghai County.
At the same time, a huge snow sculpture leaped up from the Wanshizhai and flew towards the west, leaving a straight trail in the air.
Li An and the other two first had to go to Donghai County, and then take a boat to Dadong Mountain.
This is not the shortest route, but it is the easiest.
Otherwise, they would have to enter the border of Qing Kingdom and head to Dadong Mountain, or cross through Dongyi City.
Dadong Mountain has a special geographical location. It is located at the junction of Qing State and Dongyi City. It is somewhat like a peninsula and is surrounded by the sea on three sides.
The road that borders Qing State and Dongyi City is called Dongshan Road!
When the three arrived at the Donghai County Navy camp, Yan Xiaoyi, who had already received the news, had already prepared the warships; a total of twenty-eight ships!
"Xiao Yi, long time no see!"
"Sir!" Yan Xiaoyi looked a little excited. He understood what this trip meant!
Perhaps, the long-cherished wish will come true!
"Will you blame me for separating you from Shen Du for so long?" "Sir, that's not right. I am grateful to you for your cultivation, how can I not tell them apart?" Yan Xiaoyi clasped his hands together and bowed. "Besides, you have been very kind to me and my son. Training soldiers for you is actually just helping ourselves!"
"It's good if you understand!"
Ang Lee sighed. He had made promises to too many people. There were so many of them that it was overwhelming and he couldn't think clearly.
Now that the opportunity has come, we still have to complete it one by one.
"This time, I will give you a chance to ask about the whole story in person."
"Thank you sir!!"
"No need to stay, let's go!"
Yan Xiaoyi knew He Daoren, but it was his first time meeting Ku He. There was a hint of fiery fighting spirit in his eyes, but more of it was awe. After greeting the two, he led the way and prepared to set sail.
"We only need two ships this time, and we only need civilians to carry the cargo, no soldiers are needed!"
Yan Xiaoyi felt strange about Li Ang's instructions, but he still did as he was told.
Leaving his adjutant in charge of the military camp, he carried the black gold bow on his back and went down to convey the orders and make arrangements.
When everything was ready to set off, Fan Xian also took a boat to Jiaozhou.
······
This time, it seemed like a risky move for Fan Xian.
But thinking about the face of Uncle Wu Zhu in the room last night and the old man in front of me today, it seems that this matter is not so dangerous?
Today is the birthday of the naval commander.
Fan Xian did not come on time. He had already been in the city for several days. However, the river boat that represented where he was was still staying beside the commercial port, without moving.
At this time, Hou Jichang pushed the door open and said in a low voice: "Master Fan, it's almost done."
After saying this, he glanced at the old man beside Fan Xian, his expression tensed, and he said respectfully, "This courtyard is simple and most people are out on business. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."
"No problem." Si Gu Jian didn't even raise his eyelids, and responded purely to give Fan Xian face.
Fan Xian stood up and said to Si Gu Jian nonchalantly, "Senior, then let's go?"
He also understood how high the quality of what he was going to do today was.
This can be regarded as a taboo in political behavior!
Who would commit assassination? This is not assassination, this is open killing!
After today, perhaps Fan Xian's reputation in Jiangnan will drop further.
But Fan Xian had to do this. He was appointed as the Imperial Commissioner, and Emperor Qing gave him full authority to handle all matters in Jiangnan. It can be seen that many things had been anticipated by Emperor Qing. He had no choice but to go.
This was the official business, plus the personal grudge against Li Yunrui. Fan Xian and Si Gu Jian put on their hats, got on Hou Jichang's carriage and headed for the Admiral's Mansion.
······
Admiral Chang Kun sat in the main seat with a bright smile, watching the guests entering the courtyard one after another. These were all the boys who brought wealth!
He has been in Jiaozhou for more than 30 years, which can be considered smooth sailing. Therefore, he has a natural sense of authority after being in a high position for many years, and even the smile on his face can't hide his arrogance.
He was very proud at this moment. After all, all the officials, big and small, inside and outside the city wanted to curry favor with him, and the wealthy people who came from all over Jiangnan also presented him with valuable gifts. How could he not be proud?
I heard that the imperial envoy Fan Xian is now in Jiangnan. Thinking of this, Chang Kun couldn't help but smile.
He is a person who even the eldest princess feels pain for, so it is better not to provoke him.
But what people least want to see often happens: someone affiliated with the Supervisory Commission comes to their door with gifts!
Everyone glanced towards the door, looking at the scene in surprise.
It seems that Governor Chang Kun really has connections in the court. Even people from the Censorate came to celebrate his birthday. It's really amazing!
The only difference from outsiders was that Chang Kun did not seem very happy. He knew that the boat that Fan Xian was on was now docked at the pier, but he did not expect that he would not be there in person.
This is really unreasonable!
