Why men like power is not only because power can make people stand tall.

It is power that allows countless people to serve it. This power is incomparable to no amount of wealth. Money is just a number, but power is the master.

Since the old man decided to plant Hongshao in Li Jinglong's farm, the fields on the hillside of Lijiazhuang were reclaimed within a few days, and from a distance, they looked full of scattered acres.

The beasts and birds raised in the farm were gone. For the old man, those beasts could not do their jobs and had to waste the crops and keep them for their work. They simply slaughtered them and gave them tooth sacrifices to the farmers who helped him farm.

The sun in summer was poisonous, and the sunlight in sight seemed to be angry, but the old man suddenly ignored it. He walked in the slope with his hands behind his back, stopping from time to time to communicate with the farmers.

The old man was looking forward to the growth of Hong potatoes, and Zhu Yunxiu wanted to have a bumper harvest of these Hong potatoes tomorrow.

"Maybe this life-saving food that came to this era in advance can make the old man happy and his longevity can be extended!" Zhu Yunxiu sat in the pavilion under the hillside, looking at the old man's back, thinking in his heart.

If we follow the original trajectory of time and space, the old man's life will only be one year left.

A year, only 365 days, it will be in the blink of an eye!

At this moment, the turtle came forward silently, "Your Majesty, Li Qi is here!"

Zhu Yunxiu looked behind him, and Li Qi was waiting respectfully in the distance.

Today is the day he left the capital, so I came to say goodbye.

"All packed up?" Zhu Yunxiu walked over and asked without waiting for the other party to salute.

Li Qi leaned over, "I am ready. If you have seen Your Majesty, go to the canal to board the boat!"

"Have all the family affairs been settled?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.

In this era, sailing to sea is no small matter. I heard that Li Jinglong's wife had cried several times because Li Qi was about to go to sea.

Li Qi smiled, "I have settled down." As he said, he paused, "I bid farewell to my parents in the morning, and worshiped my great-grandfather and grandfather in the family temple!"

In the sun, the boy was wearing a brand new python robe. The gorgeous clothes on his waist made him look straighter. After carefully observing his face, the faint fluff on his lips could be vaguely visible.

"Your parents always think you are still young, but I think you are already a man! Your grandfather was at your age and had already fought with the emperor in troubled times." Zhu Yunxiu said, "How can a young eagle fly thousands of miles without spreading its wings in the wind!"

"When I go to Luzon, I listen to Xie Jinzhong's opinions along the way, and discuss with the generals of the Jing Navy when things happen. They will not despise you because you are young, and you must not be ashamed of yourself or deliberately show off your prestige because of your youth. Do you understand? At sea, others don't care who you are!"

Li Qi was slightly moved and choked, "I remember the care of the emperor, I remember the five inner world!" As he said, he lowered his head and continued, "I will pay attention to everything and ask humbly for advice!" As he said, he suddenly smiled, his eyes were extremely calm and full of longing, "Your Majesty, this is my first time going to sea. I remember that the emperor said that the future of the Ming Dynasty is on the sea. I am not talented, and I am willing to set sail for the Ming Dynasty and guard the seaside in the future!"

"Good boy!" Zhu Yunxiu praised, "I keep your words and wait for the day when you become a real man, and I will leave it to you!" As he said, patting the other party's shoulder, "Go, wait for you to come back, I personally marry you and the daughter of the King of Jin!"

"Emperor!" Li Qi took a few steps back, knelt down, and kowtowed, "I'm leaving!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded seriously, "A good journey!"

Li Qi kowtowed again and slowly retreated.

Suddenly, Liujin shouted loudly from the slope field.

"Brother Qi!"

Looking at him, Liu Jin ran down from the hillside, ran too fast and fell down. Then, without waiting for others to help him, he got up and continued running towards this side. He ran and shouted.

"Brother Qi, where are you going! I don't allow you to leave!"

He ran and cried while crying.

After accompanying him day and night, Li Qi was not only a minister around him, but also more like his family to Liujin.

"Crown Prince!" Li Qi burst into tears in an instant.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxiu sighed slightly and waved his hand.

Mei Lianxin, who was following Liujin, picked up Liujin with one step, "Crown Prince, Prince!"

"Go away! I want Brother Qi!" Liu Jin beat and arrested Mei Lianxin, but to no avail.

"Crown Prince, I will take you to see the fish...Oh!"

"Let's go!" Zhu Yunxi turned around and said lightly to Li Qi.

The latter bowed silently and turned around and strode away.

Looking at his back as he pretended to be strong and pretended to be an adult, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt a little emotional. Before he knew it, he was already at the age of watching his younger generation grow up little by little.

He sighed slightly, looked around again, and said, "Where is Li Jinglong? His son came to see me, why is he not here?"

The turtle shame whispered, "Emperor, Duke Cao is crying over there!"

Zhu Yunxi looked in the direction the other party pointed. A man on the edge of the field covered his head with a straw hat, and his shoulders moved. Who else could it be if he was not Li Jinglong.

Then Zhu Yunqi walked over slowly and gently kicked the other person with his toes, "If you have time to wipe your tears, can't you go over and say a few words to your son?"

Li Jinglong looked up with tears on his face, "Long live the emperor, I am afraid... I am afraid that I will not be able to bear to leave my son after I am afraid that I will leave! I am just a legitimate son!"

～～～

In the canal, the official ship was ready. The high-mounted imperial envoy flags, hundreds of guards stood with swords on the boat, with a strong demeanor.

Li Qi dismounted from afar and walked on the pier leading to the official boat.

"Young Master, please be careful at your feet!" Li Xiaowai, a soldier from the Li family, whispered from the side.

"I suddenly realized that you are not stuttering now!" Li Qi said with a smile.

Li Xiaowai lowered his head embarrassedly, "I don't know what's going on. After getting married, I suddenly stopped stuttering!"

"It must be because I have eaten too much saliva!" Li Qi said with a smile.

Li Xiaowai's wife was the widow of her comrades-in-arms. She even brought a scoop when she got married. At first, Li Xiaowai's parents disagreed, but after the woman got married, the top leader at home and outside the family immediately became pregnant, which finally made Li Xiaowai's parents change their minds.

"New shoes?" Li Qi's eyes suddenly fell on Li Xiaowai's feet and said with a smile.

"My wife made it for her last night!" Li Xiao smiled, "She said she would wear new shoes when she went out!" As she said that, she stretched out her feet to show off, "Young Master, look at my wife's skills, tsk, this is so comfortable!"

"I'll give you beautiful things! Bah!" Li Qi laughed and scolded.

"Welcome to the imperial envoy to board the ship!" The guards on the pier saluted together.

Although Li Jinglong said that he wanted his son to go out to sea, he still felt uneasy. The guards who followed Li Qi to Luzon were a team that Li Jinglong specially selected from the Imperial Guards' firearms camp after he asked Zhu Yunqi for instructions.

The hundreds of households in this team were also officers who had experienced the Liaodong War. Although there were only more than a hundred people, these people were armed to the teeth.

After Li Qi slowly boarded the ship and stood at the bow, she slowly looked back and looked at the capital.

To be precise, it is looking at the direction of his Li family in the capital.

"The Emperor said, if the young eagle does not spread its wings, how can it fly thousands of miles? Dad, mom, son is gone!"

At this moment, horse hooves suddenly came from afar and people shouted.

"Rise the sail slowly!"

In the distance, a team of cavalry came running.

The horse's hooves roared on the canal's pier, and in a blink of an eye the cavalry rushed under the ship.

The first person jumped out of the horse and stood on the bow of the boat.

"Dad!" Li Qi looked at Li Jinglong who suddenly arrived and was stunned, "Why are you here?" As she said that, her eyes were red and she smiled, "You don't need to send me my son!"

The visitor was Duke Cao Li Jinglong.

"Who said I'm here to give you a gift?" Li Jinglong smiled slightly and looked around for a while, "I'm here to be an imperial envoy to Luzon!"

"Ah? You?" Li Qi was surprised in an instant and couldn't speak.

Li Laowai, who was following Li Jinglong, shouted loudly, "According to the sages, Duke Cao Li Jinglong is the leader of the Luzon, and officials along the way all followed the orders of Duke Cao Li Jinglong. There is also a gold medal in the imperial order, which can mobilize the troops of the coastal garrison!"

"I am a good student, please see the imperial envoy!"

With a huh, the boat fell to his knees.

Compared to Li Qi just now, these people's expressions were more respectful and cheered louder. Although Li Jinglong was not angry in the eyes of Zhu Yunsheng and the old man, he was the commander who was too good to be better in the hearts of these soldiers.

Li Jinglong once led his troops to raid the Tartar camp on the grasslands outside the border, facing the 100,000 Tartars in Liaodong, defending themselves alone. He even brought them to fill the capital and give them happiness.

"Dad? You?" Li Qi seemed to understand something.

"You boy is a little tender when you are an imperial envoy!" Li Jinglong laughed, "Let me be a deputy for you!" As he said, he laughed, "We father and son go to Luzon together, that Luzon foreign country has such a big face!"

Suddenly, Li Qi understood everything.

It must be that his father couldn't bear to worry about him, so he ran to the emperor to beg him.

"Dad, you don't have to do this!" Li Qi choked and said, "Son, OK!"

"What can you do? You don't have enough hair, where can you do it?" Li Jinglong snorted with a stern face, "You have to take on heavy responsibilities at a young age. Can you take on the responsibility if it is insulting the national system?" He said, and said again, "If you don't know the world is high, just say you can do it. What can you do? Follow your father, there are still many places you want to learn!"

"Go to that country, what if those natives don't accept Wang Hua?"

"What should you do when you encounter pirates at sea?"

"What should you do when you meet those foreign kings?"

"You think you're going to sea just to go there for a walk?"

"Have you ever killed someone? Have you ever fought a war?"

Facing Li Jinglong's repeated shouting, Li Qi lowered her head, but her heart was filled with warmth.

"Dad, aren't you afraid of getting into the water?" Li Qi said with a smile.
