Chapter 492 Rumors spread

Li Chengdao thought of those Arab women and still had not received the memorial of Li Jing's negotiations with the Arabs.

But the Arabs sent the gifts first, which shows that the war with the Arab Empire has ceased.

This is a good thing and is going according to plan.

"Your Majesty, don't be too hasty, maybe we were delayed on the way!"

Li Chengdao nodded: "You should have a good rest!"

After returning to his study, he ordered Gao Huai to call Cen Wenwen.

"There is a memorial to the Anbei Protectorate!"

Cen Wenwen also had a puzzled look on his face: "Your Majesty, I haven't come back yet, but judging by the date, I should be here. Now that Arabia has sent envoys, why has there been no news from General Li? I am also puzzled!"

"I'm afraid something went wrong on the road!"

"Yeah! Let someone ask!"

The weather was fine on the second day, and the air in Baiyun Mountain was even more fragrant and sweet, which made me feel relaxed and happy. The mountain breeze blew through the mountains and forests, and it was as majestic as overwhelming mountains and seas.

Li Chengdao had breakfast and sat in the study. The eunuch reported today's Guangzhou government report. Li Chengdao had the habit of reading newspapers from various places every day.

Guangzhou Fubao is a local newspaper founded by Chang An and the Tang Dynasty Daily.

Li Chengdao couldn't help but frown after reading the first article. It turned out that the newspaper reported that Ran Min was on an expedition to the Japanese country. Before he arrived at the Japanese country, he encountered a strong wind. The waves overturned the entire fleet and the entire army was destroyed.

The bodies of soldiers floated to the shore and were seen by fishermen.

Another piece of news said that General Li of the Anbei Protectorate went on an expedition to Byzantium and encountered the Arab Empire on the way. The entire army was unaccustomed to the acclimatization and was lost in the desert, losing most of it.

The Tang Dynasty was in a bad situation outside, and some ministers from various countries were preparing to return home, saying that the idea of ​​establishing a principality in the Tang Dynasty might be abandoned halfway.

"Somebody come!"

Li Chengdao slapped the newspaper heavily on the case, and Gao Huai hurriedly entered.

"His Majesty!"

"Xuan Cen Wenwen!"

Cen Wenwen heard that His Majesty was angry and rushed to see him.

Li Chengdao threw the newspaper at Cen Wenwen's feet and said angrily: "What's going on?"

Cen Wenwen picked up the newspaper and took a look at it before he realized why His Majesty was angry.

"Your Majesty! There are indeed rumors going around that the imperial court has a bad start. We are investigating, and we will know the reason soon!"

"I am now deaf and blind. What does Ran Min do for food? There has been no military report for so long. Is Li Jing really dead?"

"I'll go check it out now!"

"Where's Xiao Yu?"

"Back to Your Majesty! I'm on the road with Mr. Tang. I should be able to see Your Majesty soon!"

Li Chengdao said sternly: "Go and ask if there is any news from Chang'an! What happened to Tang Zhengren? We can't handle this kind of thing!"

Cen Wenwen felt ashamed and left His Majesty's study and returned to his temporary office. He just wanted Xiao Yu to come back soon.

Li Chengdao got angry and calmed down, knowing that this matter was not simple. Now that the newspaper industry is open, maybe the whole Tang Dynasty would know about it, so that would be okay.

Thinking that it would take some time to get the real news, I felt annoyed. It was entirely possible that this Ran Min was really buried in the sea.

Although Datang's shipping industry is developed, it is not yet ready to withstand typhoons.

Typhoons often occur in the seas of Japan.

Li Chengdao secretly worried about Ran Min. If he made any mistake, his policy towards the Japanese and the world would be greatly affected, and it would make the Japanese arrogant.

Li Chengdao had never felt restless before. When he went to Li Xiaodie's bedroom, Li Xiaodie saw that he looked worried and said, "Your Majesty, you must have read the newspaper!" She also just read it and realized that she didn't have to think about it. I knew Li Chengdao was angry about this.

"Do you think anything will happen to Li Jing and Ran Min?"

Li Xiaodie smiled slightly: "You will still fall when walking. Accidents are common and normal, but you will trip a few times while walking. The chance of not tripping is still the highest."

"You said Ran Min and Li Jing will be fine?"

"Your Majesty should ask yourself, will Li Jing and Ran Min be qualified generals?"

Needless to say, Li Jing was cautious all his life, so he was invincible and no accidents would happen to him. Although Ran Min is a bit reckless, he is also an excellent general. He looks reckless on the surface, but in fact he knows how to use troops better than anyone else.

Otherwise he wouldn't have achieved such great results.

"If Your Majesty believes in these two generals, they will naturally know how to avoid danger and how to walk without tripping. If they still get tripped, it can only be said that Your Majesty has no generals around him!"

After hearing this, Li Chengdao was greatly relieved. He pulled Li Xiaodie over and said, "You should be able to forgive me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. In fact, Your Majesty can think of these things himself. I am just a bystander. Your Majesty is too concerned and confused because of your concern. He did not really calm down and understand. I can think of everything that Your Majesty would not have thought of."

The two of them left the Taoist temple and seemed to want to go out for a walk. Gao Huai Yueyun and others followed them from a distance.

"I think Yue Fei is the most good general beside Your Majesty, but why doesn't Your Majesty use it and waste it on the Jinyi Guards instead of using Ran Min?"

Li Chengdao laughed: "Because he is good, I keep him by my side! Just like you are the best, that's why you are always by my side! You have to be a little bit confident!"

Li Xiaodie smiled charmingly.

"Get better!"

"I feel much better. I don't have the same heartache as before, and my breathing is much smoother. This Huatu medical technique is indeed worthy of promotion."

The two of them walked down the mountain road. Yue Yun seemed a little nervous. His Majesty was going out for a walk. He didn't say hello in advance, and he didn't have enough people with him.

Moreover, this is not Chang'an, and I am not familiar with public security. I asked Gao Huai if he could stop His Majesty from going down the mountain.

"Lord Yue, you think too much. Your Majesty often does things according to your interests. Anyone who dares to stop His Majesty's interest should be fooled!"

"Is there anything going on today, Your Majesty?"

Gao Huai said: "Keep your voice down, trying to figure out the Holy Will is not a good thing!"

Li Chengdao and Li Xiaodie laughed and joked all the way, picking a wild flower and putting it in Xiaodie's black bun, just like ordinary people.

The two of them went down the mountain, and not far away was Baiyun Town.

People were coming and going at the edge of the town, and the porters and merchants were very lively.

After thinking about it, the two decided that the local snacks here tasted good, so they chose a small restaurant and sat in.

Yue Yun Gaohuai could only find a place to guard him from a distance.

The two ordered a plate of plain-cut chicken and a pot of clear fish soup and sat opposite each other. Seeing that Li Chengdao always looked at her, Li Xiaodie said sweetly: "Why does my husband keep staring at the slave family!"

"You do look much prettier than my other women. You are very distinctive and feminine!"

Li Xiaodie felt shy, took a piece of chicken and put it in Li Chengdao's mouth: "Let's see if I can stop your fat mouth!"

There were a lot of people in the restaurant, but a businessman at the next table said: "Has everyone read today's newspaper?"

"Who thinks this can be eaten?"

The other person looked restless.

"I heard that our entire Tang army was destroyed in the sea, and another army disappeared in the desert! You don't know this desert, it's really not a place for people to go!"
