Ji Tang

Chapter 1152 Don't want to regret it!

The day passed quickly, and Wu Mei invited many people.The steward of the four major Jiangdong aristocratic families in Mingzhou, and the person in charge of the other aristocratic families.He didn't hide anything, he directly explained what he meant!
That's because the Ji family needs their help. There are people who can help, and there are people who can help.Of course, everything is voluntary, Ji will not force it!
She did this on her own initiative and had no intention of telling her husband.There are some things that my husband can do but my husband cannot.Even if there is a reputation, so what?Does she care?
As a result, in just one day, 300 people gathered, all of them brave people.

When news of this incident reached the Governor's Mansion, Governor Gou was almost frightened to death. He hurried to Ji's Mansion and was relieved after being asked the reason.

"Madam, I will report this matter truthfully. As for the consequences, that is beyond my knowledge. Please be mentally prepared."

Wu Mei was not surprised. She nodded and said, "The governor will report it to the governor. If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility and I will not implicate the governor."

Hearing this, Governor Gou smiled bitterly: "You still make it difficult for me. We can't hide this matter. Rather than letting others get to Chang'an, it's better for us to strike first. Just say that you were eager to save my father, but you were confused for a moment. I’m sure His Majesty won’t be embarrassed for the sake of Duke Hao.”

Wu Mei couldn't deny it, but she still thanked him and said, "Then I'll trouble the governor. I'll be rewarded generously in the future!"

"Okay, forget it whether you want to retaliate or not. Just let me worry a little. Although Mr. Xi can protect you for a while, he can't protect you forever. I don't know what Mr. Xi taught you and what you have done these years. Each piece becomes bigger than the other. If you are a man, I am afraid there are not many people in the world who can compare with you."

Governor Gou shook his head and said: "Let's leave it like this for now. There are also a few incompetent clan members in my clan. Please take them with you when you leave. It's a little thought from me!"

"Thank you Uncle Bo!"

Okay, Governor Gou rolled his eyes, now he becomes the Governor?He is really a disciple of Lord Nie! ——
Lingnan, Yazhou.

Feng An came to Yazhou again, bringing with him three hundred family members!
Feng Zhidai greeted him in advance. When he returned home, Feng Ang said directly: "In a few days, the second son of the Ji family, Ji Ze, will come to Yazhou. He is going north to Anxi to get rid of his body poison. But his family has spoken. , if Feng wants to learn to sail, he can’t do it without putting in some effort, no, I’m going to have to bleed!”

Feng Ang seemed helpless, but he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes!
Although the Feng family is close to the sea, its background is still shallow compared to those of aristocratic families.It lags far behind on the way to sea, and there are still no talents for long voyages.

As more and more aristocratic families went to sea and their scale grew, news from the sea also spread back.

If Feng wants to break through his limitations, he must go to sea.But neither nautical charts nor sea navigation experience can be learned in a short time. If there is no one to take it, we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
How much maritime interests will be left by then?I'm afraid the daylilies are getting cold.

The imperial court agreed to the proposal to establish a municipal shipping department in Guangzhou, but neither the Feng family nor the Changsun family had made any achievements in maritime navigation, especially in the field of long-distance navigation.

He had tried it before, but after five ships went out, only one came back, and most of them were killed or injured, which forced him to make new plans.

At this time, the Southern Sect of the Ji family, which was making rapid progress on the sea, came into his eyes.Compared with other aristocratic families, he was more excited to cooperate with the Ji family.

The Ji family was the No. 1 seafarer in the Tang Dynasty. His disciples took the Tang Dynasty's voyage fleet to tens of thousands of miles away and returned safely. It can be said that the Ji family mastered the most advanced navigation technology in the Tang Dynasty at this time.

As long as they are taught by the Ji family, their Feng family will definitely develop rapidly at sea.

But there is a price to pay for getting these. Ji Ze never let go before. If Ji Ze didn't need manpower this time, that person wouldn't have let go.

But the price is to use Feng's secrets and go to Anxi to fight.

Although he felt distressed, he didn't really care.The Feng family was established in Lingnan after a hundred battles. Who would the Feng family be afraid of during the war?Rather than letting the children of the family make fearless sacrifices in the sea, it is better to go to Anxi to fight for a better future.

And along the way, the Ji family will impart their voyage experience without reservation. How much they can learn in the future will depend on their abilities.

"Dad, the one from the Southern Sect of the Ji family is not an economical person. Can you guarantee that she will give everything to you?" Feng Zhidai asked worriedly.

Feng Ang glanced at his most outstanding son and sighed: "You still have a narrow horizon. It seems that you have been limited by your long stay in Lingnan!"

"Looking at Ji's development, what can you see?"

"Integrity, anyone who cooperates with Ji's family has never been cheated. That person is Ji's proud disciple, how can he violate his master's principles?"

"Don't worry, Ji's existence has its own reasons. They will not mess with this matter."

"You have to explain clearly to the people I brought. In addition to learning navigation experience when I go to Anxi, I will give me the strength to feed myself when I arrive in Anxi. If anyone dares to embarrass me, Mr. Feng, even if he comes back, I will I won’t let him go.”

"Since you have agreed, then use your full strength. This is your duty."

Feng Zhidai lowered his head and said, "I understand, father!"

Seeing that everything that needed to be explained was done, Feng An stood up and said, "I'll leave them to you. When Ji Ze comes, you can interact with him properly. There will be many days of dealing with him in the future. There is no harm in building a good relationship!" "

"Yes, my child understands!"
-
At this time, Ji Qing, who was far away in Chang'an, didn't know that his junior brother had set off from the sea to cure his body poisoning, and was also preparing to go north to Anxi.

He was currently receiving the salute, and he had resigned from His Majesty yesterday.

When Li Shimin explained his intention, he agreed after thinking about it.Although Ji Qing was not famous for his bravery, he knew that this boy's skills were truly inherited from Ji Song, and he was a rare expert in the army.If you want to go, then go. One more person means more effort.

In addition, this boy has almost trained in the court, and it is time to go out and practice. Maybe a talented person with both civil and military skills will emerge in the future.

Ji Qing went to the Duke's Mansion before leaving. When he learned that he was going to Anxi, neither Ji's mother nor his wife agreed.However, he was determined and would not change his mind despite persuasion.

Ji Run sent his senior brother to the door. He said with complicated eyes, "Sometimes I really envy you, senior brother. You can do whatever you want. But I can't. I can't go, and I can't go."

He took out a stack of paper, stuffed it into Ji Qing's hand, and said solemnly: "This is some information I collected, the customs of Anxi, and a geographical map. I hope he can help you, and it's my little thought!" "

Of course Ji Qing knew what Ji Run was thinking, but he knew that his junior brother was not much inferior to him in ability. He was personally taught by his husband and had three years of experience on the grassland. Needless to say, he was very capable.

After taking the thick stack of paper and flipping through it briefly, I knew it was carefully written.

Without a lot of time and reading countless classics, it would be impossible to collect such detailed information.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring your husband back safely!"

Ji Run looked depressed. He was the eldest son of the Ji family and the future heir of the Ji family. It was impossible for His Majesty and the courtiers to let him go to Anxi.

"It's a long way to go, so I wish my senior brother a safe and smooth trip."

"When senior brother comes back, I will treat him to a drink. When the time comes, call the other senior brothers. We will not return until we are drunk!"

Ji Qing smiled and nodded: "Okay, senior brother, I'm waiting for your drink!"

After saying that, he stuffed the things into the horse's pockets, jumped on the horse, and cupped his hands towards Ji Run and said, "I'm going for my brother. I just need to take care of the family."

"go!"

Then he led the soldiers of the Hou Mansion and galloped towards the west gate.
Ji Run looked at his senior brother's retreating figure. He wanted to go with him, but he still held back.He knows that he cannot be willful, and he has no self-will.

"Do you want me to beg my father and grandfather?"

At some point, Li Yu came to her side, hugged her husband's arm tightly and whispered.

"No need, I have my responsibility. Protecting my family is the greatest support for my father!" Ji Run smiled lightly and pulled Li Yu into the door. As the door slowly closed, the Duke of Xi's mansion fell into chaos again. Silence, maybe when it opens again, it will be when his master returns
To the west of Chang'an City, beside the ancient road and outside the Changting Pavilion.

A slender but impressively wealthy official, wearing a fine attire and accompanied by hundreds of guards, was drinking in the pavilion.

The five or six guards looked young, but they held horizontal swords and were very powerful. At first glance, they were not easy to mess with.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and the man dressed as a member of the army was stunned. More than a hundred guards immediately stood on the official road, blocking the way.

call~
"Bold."

Ji Qing blocked the scolding of the leader of the soldiers, glanced at Baiduo and saw that they were the guards of the welding soldiers in the army, and looked at the one who was drinking in a pavilion not far away.

"You wait here for now, I will come as soon as I go!"

"Master Hou, be careful"

Seeing that the soldiers were worried and looking ahead warily, he smiled calmly: "Don't worry, we have just left Chang'an City. Who dares to act so recklessly here?"

After saying that, he threw the riding whip to him, and he dismounted and walked toward the pavilion alone. Strangely enough, the hundreds of guards seemed to not see Ji Qing and let him pass.

"Ji Qing, I have met the princess!"

Ji Qing came to the man's side and bowed before saying anything.

The visitor was none other than Pingyang who was going to Anxi.Today was also the day for him to set out, and he heard that Ji Qing was also going, so he planned to wait here and make friends together.

"Get up!"

Pingyang turned around and looked at the heroic Ji Qing, and had to admit that he was indeed old.However, I have been taking good care of my body over the years, taking good care of myself, and using Ji's secret Tianshan Snow Lotus, and I still look like I am in my late 40s or [-]s.

"Why are you going? You must know that His Majesty values ​​you very much. As long as you survive for some time, you will surely rise to the top in the future and your future is limitless. But if you resign now, I'm afraid your position will be gone when you come back."

"Do you have any regrets?"

Ji Qing was silent for a while and looked straight at him: "Maybe there are, but not many. If I don't go today, what will happen if I become the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future? He is just a man who is greedy for life, afraid of death, and greedy for power."

"I, Ji Qing, and my junior brothers traveled tens of thousands of miles for ten years. We saw many crises and storms at sea, and we understood the fragility of human life. At that time, I understood a truth."

"That is to do what you think is right during your lifetime, do what you should do, and live up to the good years and the life given by God."

"The experience of tens of thousands of miles away and in the wilderness has made us extremely determined. Although the future is important, it is just a way to realize our own aspirations. If it is gone, we can start over. Qing believes that with our ability, it won't take long."

"But once you miss something, you will never have it again. I don't want to regret it!"

"A good one who doesn't want to regret it!"

Pingyang stood up, Xin Chang's figure seemed a little lonely at this time!
"Why don't I regret it? But forget it, let's not talk about it, it's getting late, let's set off quickly!"

After saying that, he was about to mount his horse, but Ji Qing's voice came: "Your Highness!"

Pingyang looked at Ji Qing doubtfully and said, "What's the matter?"

"If you want to persuade me, there is no need. If you can even persuade me, then I won't be here."

After saying that, he got on his horse and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"drive!"

Whoa!
I saw more than a hundred guards on horseback, galloping away with Pingyang.

Ji Qing's expression changed, and finally he could only sigh and said: "Let's go, follow us!"

"drive!"

"drive!"

"."

In the Li Zheng Hall, Li Shimin, who was lying on the couch, heard the sound of footsteps and couldn't help but open his eyes.

When he saw the person coming, he closed it again.

"gone?"

The person who came was none other than Li Chengqian. He nodded: "I just received the news and left with Weiyuan Hou Jiqing."

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Let's go, send someone to notify the guard of Yumen Pass, and send a thousand soldiers to escort along the way. There must be no mistake!"

"Yes, Father!"

Seeing that the prince had not left yet, Li Shimin asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"

Li Chengqian took out a memorial directly from his sleeve and said: "This is a memorial from the governor of Mingzhou. It is said that the boy Ji Ze has set off by sea, and his wife Ji Wu has united with many merchants to gather three hundred brave men. In addition, I don’t know what agreement was reached with Feng Ang, but the Feng family in Lingnan also left hundreds of tribesmen to run a business and sailed westward."

He took the memorial and read it once, then threw it aside.

"Don't worry, go, go, go!"

He didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. When something happened to Ji Song, all the people close to him came to help and traveled thousands of miles to help.

Ji Song has shown a lot of favors over the years, and now it's time to return the favor.

"But by sea? What's going on? Is it possible to reach Anxi by sea?"

Li Shimin stood up and came to the screen, lifted up the silk cloth, and followed Mingzhou with his fingers first south, then west, across the strait, and finally stopped at the forefront of the Tang Navy fleet at this time, a large island south of Shendu.

"According to that boy's intention, I'm afraid he wants to land in Shendu, and then go directly north to Anxi. I have calculated that starting from the sea will not only save the journey, but also save half the time."

"There is a big river in Shendu, the Ganges, which runs through the territory of Shendu. As long as you take a boat all the way north, you can reach Tochara in a short time."

"There are not many of them. They can pretend to be merchants and go all the way east without much danger." Li Chengqian added.
