Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 701 The news of the return of the crew
Using Li Jing to destroy Tuyuhun was something he had decided very early on.At present, there are not many people in the court who have this ability, and Li Jing is the most suitable one.Extermination of Tuyuhun is related to the major event of westward advancement, and no loss is allowed. If troops are mobilized, the country will be destroyed and its heirs will be exterminated.

In this way, Datang can completely let go of its hands and feet, overturn the rivers and seas in the Western Regions, and expand its territory.

boom!
Li Zhiyun stepped on the map of Tuyuhun and let out a soft laugh.

"Next year, Mietuyuhun!"

Although the voice was inaudible, it contained incomparable confidence.

At this moment, the natural port of Ryukyu Island.

A big, shabby ship docked, and a tattered crew stepped off the ship.These people are exactly the White Shark group who returned from the southern hemisphere.

They don't know those islands in the southern hemisphere, but they know Ryukyu Island!
When they went to sea, they were resupplied here!

"Is this really Ryukyu?"

"It's Ryukyu, that's right, there's a stele over there!"

"God, we're back, we're back!"

"what!"

The crew let go of their voices, howled and roared, and ran wildly, enjoying the aftermath of the catastrophe.

They are back!

White Shark looked at the stele, which was engraved with 'Da Tang Ryukyu Island'.Under the stele, there is actually a line of words that has been erased, where it originally said 'Great Sui Ryukyu Island'.

"Brother Shangguan, we are back."

Hearing this, Shangguanyi nodded heavily.

"That's right, we're back." There were tears in his eyes, and his excitement was beyond words.Who can understand how they feel drifting at sea these days?

Now, they are finally back.

came back!
White Shark made some supplies on Ryukyu Island, then drove the wrecked ship, and returned to Yangzhou Xindu after identifying the route.

Governor Zhang Zhenzhou heard that Bai Sha and the others were eating when they returned from the sea, but he was so excited that he choked to death.

In the official office, a group of officials looked at the two strange animals in the yard as if they were looking at strange animals.

Zhang Zhenzhou was also shocked, it was the first time he had seen this kind of 'jumping horse'.I don't know it at all, I haven't seen it at all.

Bai Sha and Shangguanyi were speechless, because they learned that it was now November of the fifth year of Zhenguan.

They set off in Zhenguan four years, but ended up wandering at sea for nearly two years.Although they had estimated the time before, they still couldn't help but be shocked when they really learned the time of wandering, and there was still lingering fear behind the shock.

It's terrible, the concept of no time at sea, it's terrible, they really don't want to experience it a second time.

No, it is better never to experience it.

Only thirty-five people followed them back alive this time!
Others either fell ill and died, or died in a storm at sea, or couldn't bear it and jumped into the sea to commit suicide.

In short, the casualties were heavy.

Zhang Zhenzhou looked at the 'vaulting horse' for a while, and said to Bai Sha and Shangguanyi: "You have made great achievements this time."

White Shark said in shame: "We didn't find what His Majesty wanted, so how can we claim credit for it?"

"No." Zhang Zhenzhou shook his head and said, "The charts you drew, as well as these two beasts, are all great achievements. You rest here for a few days. After a few days, I will go to Chang'an and report to your majesty. When the time comes Come with me.

Oh, and these two beasts! "

"Yes!"

"By the way, what do they eat?" Zhang Zhenzhou asked curiously.

"Grass, fruit, some kind of cattle, sheep and horses." White Shark replied.

"Oh, that's a pretty good living."

Yang Governor Shi Zhao Cihao asked: "Why are the two vaulting horses different? Why does the smaller vaulting horse have a pocket on its stomach?"

Hearing this, the white shark said: "This beast uses jumping instead of running, and its speed is very fast. The one with the pocket on its stomach is a female. After the baby vaulting horse is born, it will be kept in the pocket by the female vaulting horse until it grows up. .”

"what?"

All the officials were amazed and stared wide-eyed.They haven't seen such a miraculous beast with a childcare pocket?
Interesting, very interesting!
"Where did you catch it?" Zhao Cihao asked.

Shangguanyi thought for a while, took out the chart, pointed to a large island on it, and said, "This is the place. This island is so big that there is even a desert. We searched the island for a long time but we couldn't reach the edge. It should be a big island."

"Here?" Zhao Cihao looked at the chart seriously, and then thoughtfully said: "This is Ryukyu Island, so here, isn't it further south?"

"Yes, Changshi." White Shark replied: "If you want to go to Jumping Horse Island, you have to go all the way south and pass through a group of thousand islands before you can see it."

The white shark named the big island 'Jumping Horse Island'.

"Jumping Horse Island, the name is interesting." Zhao Cihao smiled, and immediately asked in a low voice: "By the way, is this jumping horse delicious?"

Hearing this, Bai Sha's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "It's so-so."

They didn't dare to eat this stuff at first, but later, they had no choice but to eat it when they were hungry.Considering the need for meat at sea, the white sharks caught a lot of them, but only two were left when they came back.

A few days later, Bai Sha, Shangguanyi, and two vaulting horses followed Zhang Zhenzhou's army to Chang'an.

Along the way, the two vaulting horses received the best care. Zhang Zhenzhou gave a death order to ensure that His Majesty the Emperor saw the two live vaulting horses.

They arrived in Luoyang ten days later. At this time, the cement road from Guanzhong to Luoyang had begun to be laid. Although the official road was not all cement roads, it was polished very smooth.

Three days later, they entered Chang'an.

Li Zhiyun was stunned when he heard that Bai Sha and others had returned from the sea, and then immediately summoned Bai Sha and others in the Tai Chi Hall.

"The last general, please refer to His Majesty the Emperor, my emperor will last ten thousand years and ten thousand years!"

The strong, dark man actually had tears in his eyes when he saw His Majesty the Emperor.

Li Zhiyun was also filled with emotion, and quickly helped him up to comfort him.

"White Shark, you have worked hard. My heart ached when I learned of your death." Li Zhiyun said with emotion: "Fortunately, you are safe and sound."

"The last general failed to complete the task, and he failed His Majesty's entrustment, ashamed!"

"Don't blame yourself so much, it's a good thing that you can come back." Li Zhiyun comforted him.

Immediately, Shangguanyi came forward to pay respects and announced his family name.

Li Zhiyun had heard of Shangguanyi's name, but he had only heard of it. It was his granddaughter who knew more about it.

Of course, history has changed now, and I'm afraid Shangguan Wan'er will no longer exist.

"Your Majesty, this is the chart drawn at sea. Please have a look at it." Shangguan presented the chart.

Li Zhiyun took a strange look at the rough-faced Shangguanyi, but he really couldn't tell that he would be a talented person.

Ahem, you can't judge people by their cover.

After thinking about it, it is likely that I have been living overseas for the past two years, and my people have become rough.

After receiving the chart, Li Zhiyun looked at it carefully, until half a stick of incense passed, Li Zhiyun finally confirmed that they had drifted there on the sea.

If his guess is correct, it should be in Australia.

It's not easy, it's really not easy to come back from there.

"Although you didn't complete the task this time, but you have this sea chart, that is your contribution. I will reward you well!"

Shangguanyi's eyes lit up, and he was really hit by the white shark.

White Shark said: "Your Majesty, we brought back two beasts for you."

"brute?"

"Yes."

On the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall, a group of servants surrounded the two vaulting horses, their eyes showing surprise.Their expressions were exactly the same as those Yangzhou officials who had just seen the vaulting horse.

Li Zhiyun, on the other hand, recognized these two 'vaulting horses'.

What a vault, it's clearly a kangaroo!
Sure enough, White Shark and others, this time they are living in the Australian mainland!
