Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Fang Yuan lost his sleepiness.

He has been worried about Qin Huaiyu's situation.

Because he brought too few people there, it was very dangerous.

I never thought that an accident really happened, and I don't know if I am alive or dead.

Not long after, Fang Yuan received a decree from the palace and entered the palace overnight.

When Fang Yuan arrived, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling and others all arrived.

"Qin Huaiyu lost contact, and the Goguryeo plan may fail. What's your plan?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Although Qin Huaiyu is a junior, he works for the imperial court.

Something happened to him, the court couldn't ignore it, and had to give Qin Qiong an explanation.

"I suggest sending someone to investigate immediately!"

Fang Xuanling said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go!"

Li Jing was also here, and said immediately.

"Your Majesty, let the old minister go."

Qin Qiong also said.

Qin Huaiyu is his son, he is more worried than anyone else.

"Who else wants to go?"

Li Shimin did not answer the two, but looked at the scene.

Whether it is Li Jing or Qin Qiong, neither of them are suitable to take people there in person.

One is that Li Jing's legs have been bad all year round, and Goguryeo is close to the sea, so his legs will be even worse there.

Moreover, Li Jing is the military god of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Jing is required to deal with a mere small country, that would be overkill.

As for Qin Qiong, it was because he was Qin Huaiyu's father, and the front line didn't know what Qin Huaiyu was doing, so it would be easy for Qin Qiong to be emotional when he went.

"I'll go."

"I proposed the plan, and it should be done by me."

Fang Yuan stood up, said with a sigh.

Li Shimin wanted him to go before.

But because Du Miaoyan is about to give birth, and now Su Ziqing has given birth, presumably Li Shimin asked this because he wanted him to go.

"Just Fang Yuan, he is still in contact with the third prince of Goguryeo."

Li Shimin nodded.

This is exactly the result he wanted.

Since Fang Yuan can take the initiative to stand up, there is no need for him to say more.

Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others looked at Fang Yuan, but they didn't object.

"I am preparing for two days, and I will leave in two days."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Think of it as travel.

I heard that there are many beautiful women in Goguryeo.

"Okay, I will do it for you!"

Li Shimin nodded.

Others also expressed no opinion.

In this way, the seemingly tense meeting ended quickly.

After the meeting ended, Qin Qiong caught up with Fang Yuan.

"Fang Shangshu, please save the dog!"

Qin Qiong begged.

He didn't know what Qin Huaiyu was going through now.

But I believe that Qin Huaiyu should be fine, lurking somewhere.

So I hope Fang Yuan can find Qin Huaiyu and bring Qin Huaiyu back.

"Please don't worry, General!"

Fang Yuan didn't have many guarantees, he could only nod his head heavily.

He can't give too many guarantees, and he doesn't know what happened in Goguryeo.

At this time, all guarantees are false. Only by going there in person can we know what happened and what happened to Qin Huaiyu.

"Thank you!"

Qin Qiong nodded heavily.

Then Fang Yuan returned to Fangfu.

Without talking to anyone, Meimei fell asleep.

It was not until the next day that Fang Yuan explained to Du Miaoyan and others.

When they heard that Fang Yuan was going to Goguryeo, Du Miaoyan and others were very worried.

And they were very reluctant to go so far.

Especially Su Ziqing, who had just given birth and was about to leave.

"I don't want to either, but the emperor obviously wants me to go."

"And I have other things to do, I must go on this trip."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The Goguryeo project is one of them.

Most importantly, Fang Yuan has his own method.

He can't tell anyone about this idea, otherwise he will be killed.

"Okay, then you pay attention to safety!"

"Bring Xue Bowu, Xue Rengui, and Mo Cailing along."

Seeing Fang Yuan like this, Du Miaoyan didn't say anything else, she just hoped that Fang Yuan would bring more experts.

"Just bring Xue Bowu and Xue Rengui, and Mo Cailing will stay at home with you."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Going to Goguryeo this time has the idea of ​​Lieyan, how can I let Mo Cailing go too.

"Okay then, I'll prepare your luggage for you."

Du Miaoyan did not force it.

Xue Bowu and Xue Rengui are enough.

And Fang Yuan's trip this time must have brought the firecracker army with him.

With the Fire Gun Army, as long as you are careful, no master can get close to Fang Yuan.

Then, for two days, Fang Yuan spent as much time as possible with Su Ziqing's mother and son before leaving.

Departure is by boat.

Traveling by water is several times faster than by land.

"Fang Yuan, I heard that there are many beauties in Goguryeo?"

Xue Rengui stood beside Fang Yuan, looking at the sea in front of him.

The sea is vast and calm, but there is no end to it at a glance.

"You have to ask Xu Changjin about that."

Fang Yuan faced the sea, said calmly.

This sea is endless, but there are many countries on the other side of the sea.

With the current comprehensive strength of Datang, it is absolutely possible to develop sea areas and colonize other countries.

At this time, by plundering the resources of other countries to develop itself, Datang is definitely stronger than ever.

But thinking of Li Shimin's punishment of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, Fang Yuan felt somewhat disheartened.

I am just a courtier of Datang, so there is no need to think so deeply.

but if.
So Fang Yuan led the team to Goguryeo this time.
In the past few days, Fang Yuan's fleet stayed in the Dengzhou area.

The local governor of Dengzhou naturally didn't know about Fang Yuan's arrival, but it doesn't matter, there is an imperial edict from Li Shimin.

And as Fang Yuan, he also walked sideways in the Dengzhou area, after all, he brought three hundred firearms.

Not long after, Fang Yuan contacted the governor of Dengzhou and explained his identity.

"My next official, Dengzhou Inspector Qi Hongyu, pays my respects to Fang Shangshu!"

Qi Hongyu is a muscular middle-aged man.

It is quite prestigious in Dengzhou. After all, it has to resist the interference from time to time from Goguryeo and Dongying.

If he doesn't have some ability and prestige, he can't sit in Dengzhou at all, and the court won't let him sit.

"You're welcome."

"Is there any news about Qin Huaiyu?"

Fang Yuan was not too polite, he said bluntly.

After the Goguryeo plan was implemented, Dengzhou fully cooperated.

Qi Hongyu, governor of Dengzhou, was one of the people who contacted Qin Huaiyu, and he probably knew about Qin Huaiyu.

"Since we received the last information ten days ago, there has been no news from General Qin."

Qi Hongyu shook his head and sighed.

Ten days ago, Qin Huaiyu's last message was a request for help.

He truthfully reported this information back to the court until Fang Yuan arrived.

"Just give me a place to live."

Fang Yuan didn't ask any more questions.

Everyone has worked hard on the boat for a few days, rest for half a day before starting to plan.

Naturally, Qi Hongyu was still required to inquire about Qin Huaiyu's whereabouts during this period of time.

But unfortunately, Qin Huaiyu was in Goguryeo, and Datang didn't have much power to investigate, so there was no news of Qin Huaiyu.

After a day's rest, Fang Yuan immediately brought the Fire Gun Army and others into Goguryeo.

As soon as he entered Goguryeo, Fang Yuan found that the inspection of entering the city was very strict, preventing Tang people from entering.

Even ordinary Tang people fishing people, as long as they are found, they will be driven out and not allowed to enter.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan frowned, and looked at Xu Changjin who came with him.

"Master, wait for me for an hour, I'll come back as soon as I go, and bring you ID cards!"

Xu Changjin said.

Say goodbye to Fang Yuan and leave.

"Fang Yuan, will she never come back?"

Xue Rengui looked at the direction Xu Changjin left and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, it will only be a tragic end for her to escape back."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Although Qin Huaiyu lost contact, the third prince also lost contact.

But, in name, Xu Changjin is considered to be the king of Goguryeo willing to leave it to Fang Yuan.

If Xu Changjin returned to China without Datang's permission and was found out, he would definitely not end well.

With Xu Changjin's intelligence, I believe she would not be so stupid.

In the eyes of Fang Yuan and others, Xu Changjin passed the city gate inspection and officially entered the territory of Goguryeo.

Goguryeo's port inspection is not very strict, and it does not affect the business transactions between the two countries, but it is strict when entering the city.

Time passed by, Fang Yuan waited for Xu Changjin to appear again.

Xu Changjin did not disappoint Fang Yuan and the others, Xu Changjin came back again before an hour had passed.

She brought back a warrant that allowed Fang Yuan and everyone else to pass without inspection.

"How did you get this?"

Fang Yuan looked at Xu Changjin in surprise.

He thought that Xu Changjin would bring some identity tokens back.

But I didn't expect it to be such a powerful thing that could bring everyone in.

"My father's previous favor was used by me."

Xu Changjin just explained briefly.

Fang Yuan nodded, without asking in detail.

With Xu Changjin's warrant, Fang Yuan made a new adjustment.

In the form of a caravan, they carried firecrackers and swaggered into the city of Goguryeo.

Because of the warrant, the Koguryo soldiers guarding the city not only did not check the identity of the people, but also did not check the goods.

In this way, Fang Yuan and other 300 people entered the territory of Goguryeo, heading all the way to Pyongyang, the royal city of Goguryeo.

Goguryeo is not big, and the inspection is only strict at the border. Fang Yuan and others almost walked together all the way, and entered Pyongyang City in a few days.

Along the way, Fang Yuan intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Qin Huaiyu's situation in Goguryeo, but unfortunately, there was no news about Qin Huaiyu.

It was not until entering Pyongyang City that Fang Yuan found a clue.

At the same time, I also understood why the third prince of Goguryeo disappeared.

It turned out that the third prince of Goguryeo wanted to expose the coup and was imprisoned.

Although there is still no news about Qin Huaiyu, it is very likely that he was imprisoned for this reason.

"Do you have anything to do with Pyongyang City?"

"I need to know whether Qin Huaiyu is also being imprisoned!"

Fang Yuan looked at Xu Changjin and said.

"It's a little bit related, but I definitely can't stretch my hand that long, and I can't find out what's going on in the prison."

"But if I have the money, I can give it a try."

Xu Changjin shook his head and said.

When she was in the border city, she was able to use her relationship because the defender of the city happened to be his father who had helped him before.

However, her father died a long time ago, and she doesn't have much relationship in Pyongyang City, otherwise she wouldn't be sold to Fang Yuan by the third prince Gao Tianzhi.

"There are two gold bars here, you go and try them, if you don't have enough, ask me for them."

Fang Yuan took out the gold bar without saying a word.

This time, Fang Yuan brought gold bars for convenience.

Because gold bars are valuable, you don’t have to worry about not being able to use them in any country you go to, and you don’t need to bring too much to affect your travel.

"It should be enough!"

"Wait for my good news!"

Xu Changjin immediately left with two gold bars.

Fang Yuan and the others are scattered in Pyongyang City, each looking for a place to live.

Not too crowded, so as not to be noticed.

In order not to attract attention, Fang Yuan asked people to buy five big houses in Pyongyang City.

At night, Xu Changjin came back with a tired face.

"I found out that Qin Huaiyu was indeed imprisoned."

Xu Changjin brought back good news.

But it was also a news that gave Fang Yuan a headache.

He was locked up, how could this be saved?
"There is one gold bar left, here you go."

Xu Changjin only used one gold bar to inquire about the news.

In fact, there shouldn't be a need for a gold bar, but who told Fang Yuan to only give her a gold bar.

I don't know how much the other party wants, so I can only give the other party a gold bar first.

Unexpectedly, the other party's eyes lit up when he saw the gold bars, and he regarded himself as an aunt.

"You keep it."

Fang Yuan didn't take back the gold bars, it was a hard work for Xu Changjin.

He was wondering if there was any way to rescue Qin Huaiyu.

"Give me?!"

Xu Changjin's eyes lit up immediately.

At this moment, she finally understood how important gold bars are.

She also understood why the man was so excited when he saw the gold bars.

"Go and rest first, I'll think about how to save Qin Huaiyu."

Fang Yuan didn't say much to Xu Changjin, he waved his hand to let her leave.

Xu Changjin was so excited that all the exhaustion in his body disappeared, and he was about to leave happily.

But after taking two steps, he turned his head and looked at Fang Yuan who was frowning.

"If you have ten gold bars, maybe you can try to bribe the officials to let Qin Huaiyu go."

Xu Changjin said suddenly.

Look at the look of that person today, or you can try.

After all, I used to be a court physician and met some high-ranking officials.

Although the relationship with them is not good, it may be different if there is money to open the way.

"Money is not a problem, as much as you want!"

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly.

As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

The ancients said that money can make ghosts turn mills, but he has forgotten this.

"Then I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee it."

"I'd like you to come with me if you can, I'm afraid."

Xu Changjin nodded, then said with a sarcastic smile.

She knew those senior officials, but she didn't have much relationship.

If you go to see them like this, it is very likely that you will never return.

Faced with this situation, Xu Changjin only hoped that Fang Yuan could go with her.

"You find a way to see if you can ask him out."

Fang Yuan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice.

If money can't solve it, then use force to solve it.

But if it is in the other party's home, force may not be able to achieve the goal.

"Okay, but don't get your hopes up."

Xu Changjin nodded.

Said and ready to leave.

"Eat something first, rest for a while before going."

Fang Yuan noticed the fatigue on Xu Changjin's face, and said with concern.

It's just getting dark now, and although Goguryeo has a curfew, it's easy to attract attention.

"it is good."

Xu Changjin thought that Fang Yuan cared about her, so he smiled sweetly, then went to eat and take a bath.

After resting until midnight, Xu Changjin took Xue Bowu away.

Fang Yuan was worried that it would be unsafe at night, so he asked Xue Bowu to protect her.

About an hour later, Xu Changjin came back safely. (end of this chapter)
