Chapter 246: Penghu Islands

Li Yan's fleet headed south and soon arrived at the Penghu Islands. It is located between Liuqiu Island and the mainland, and is also the first stop for mainland immigration to Liuqiu. Therefore, this is one of the areas with the most concentrated Han people and the most developed area, but the current situation here is not optimistic.

Penghu, as the area where the Han people are most concentrated, naturally failed to get rid of Lu Qing's vicious hands. However, the main force of the man who controlled Yang Lie was in Tainan and was close to Penghu, so the other party naturally would not let Lu Qing control Penghu. Therefore, the two sides not only fought against Liuqiu Island, but even Penghu was in a fight.

The Penghu Islands are mainly composed of three large islands, namely Penghu Island, Baisha Island and Xiyu Island, and there are also some sporadic islands. Now Lu Qing has occupied Baisha Island and Xiyu Island. If it weren't for the last assassination, the largest island would have been Li Yan's possession.

Li Yan's fleet was docked at a port on Baisha Island, and it was only a few thousand meters away from the Penghu Island occupied by the other party. As long as you hold a telescope, you can't hide any moves on the opposite island.

As soon as Li Yan's fleet approached the port, Lu Qing immediately came to greet him on a warship. When Li Yan decided to come to see the man in person, Lu Qing also expressed his objection, but he could not change Li Yan's idea at all. He had no choice but to set off early and arrived at Baisha Island a few days earlier in the Clippers to inform the other party and make preparations for the early stage.

After the two sides met, Li Yan followed Lu Qing to the temporary residence at the port. Penghu was originally developed in fishing, and most of the residents on the island made a living by fishing. The port where they were located was just a fishing port before, with nothing except a few broken fishing boats. Later, Lu Qing took a fancy to the port here that was vast and close to Penghu Island, so he drew a military dock. However, the houses on the dock had not yet been built, and everyone lived in tents.

After entering the Central Army tent, Li Yan and Li Ke didn't even bother to drink, and immediately asked Lu Qing: "How is it? Have the other party decided the time and location of the meeting?"

"Your Highness, we have decided to set up the location. The location is on Zhongdun Island between Baisha Island and Penghu Island. In the realm, in addition to the two Your Highness and the other's leader, both sides are allowed to bring ten guards each. The warships of our two sides are not allowed to be within five miles of Zhongdun Island. As for time, the other party asks us to choose, but it is best to be in these few days." Lu Qing bowed and replied.

"What's the situation in Zhongdunyu? Why is it better to set it in these few days?" Li Yan asked in confusion.

After hearing this, Lu Qing smiled, took out a topographic map of the Penghu Islands from his body and spread it on the table, and pointed to one point and said: "Two Your Highnesses, please see, the eastern end of Baisha Island we are located is very close to the western end of each other's Penghu Island. This small piece in the middle is Zhongdun Island. Although Zhongdun Island does not seem to be connected to the two large islands, whenever the tide is low, the beach under the sea water will be exposed between Zhongdun Island and the two large islands, and pedestrians can pass through it from above. The low tide time these days happens to be around breakfast and dinner. In this way, after the daytime talks, you can walk back by yourself at night, so as not to pick it up by boat and increase unnecessary risks!"

When Li Yan heard the wonderful terrain of Zhongdunyu, he couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature. At the same time, he nodded to Lu Qing's suggestion. Indeed, if it was picked up by boat, both sides would have to send ships. This would definitely increase some risks. After all, the more people, the less safety of him and Li Ke would be guaranteed. It would be better to have less.

"Okay, since that's the case, then Lu Qing, please notify the other party, and the time will be tomorrow!" Li Yan and Li Ke discussed it, and after obtaining the other party's consent, they immediately turned their heads and ordered Lu Qing. Although he had some guesses about the identity of the mysterious man, he still knew nothing about the specific situation, so he wanted to see the other party earlier in his heart so as to relieve the doubts in his heart.

"Your Highness obeys the order!" Lu Qing immediately bowed to answer the order. He had prepared the meeting a few days ago. As long as Li Yan and Li Ke came, they could start immediately, so it would not seem hasty to ask that they meet tomorrow.

After seeing Lu Qing leave, Li Ke stood up and looked at the sky. It was already noon and they had lunch on the boat, but it was still some time before dark, so Li Ke suggested: "Liulang, I think the scenery of Penghu is good. How about we go on the beach?"

"Haha~, since the third brother is interested, I should accompany you!" Li Yan laughed at him. The song in his previous life made Penghu famous all over the country. Later, Li Yan specially checked some information about Penghu and knew that this was a rare tourist destination. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to come in his previous life. Unexpectedly, in the Tang Dynasty, he ran to Penghu to compete with others for territory.

Now the two brothers changed their long gowns and went to the beach in a short silk suit. The reason for wearing this is naturally Li Yan's idea. First, the temperature here in Penghu is relatively high, and it is cooler to wear it. Second, walking by the beach naturally requires leisure. However, Li Ke is obviously very uncomfortable with wearing short suits. Fortunately, Li Yan is accompanied by him, and Xi Jun bought these military guards in short suits, so Li Ke did not object.

After arriving at the beach, Li Yan excitedly pulled up his pants, then took off his shoes and walked around the beach, but he quickly put his shoes on again, because the beach is now full of wild beaches, and in addition to sand, there are also stones, fish bones, broken shells and other things on the beach. If he walks barefoot on it, his feet can be pierced in less than a few steps.

The inability to walk barefoot on the beach did make the trip by the sea less fun, but Li Yan was very good at finding things for himself. He began to look down at the shells on the beach. When he saw the beautiful shells, he immediately picked them up and put them in his arms.

Li Ke asked in confusion about Li Yan's actions: "Liulang, why are you picking up these?"

"The third brother doesn't know. When I left Chang'an, I promised to bring some specialties from the beach to Gaoyang and Yizi. Look at the shells here in Penghu, I just picked them up and gave them to them." Li Yan said with a smile. Although Gaoyang and Yizi are both princesses, the gifts they give do not have to be expensive, especially for their little girls. As long as the gifts they give are more beautiful, they will definitely be happy for a long time.

"Hahaha~, sixth brother, you are really kind-hearted. At this time, you still don't forget to coax Gao Yang and the others!" Li Ke laughed. Seeing Li Yan's relaxed look now, his concern for meeting tomorrow has also decreased a lot.

However, after Li Ke laughed, a solemn expression appeared on his face and asked again: "Liulang, when I came before, I asked you what the other party was, but you refused to say that we are about to meet each other. Now you should tell me who the other party is, right?"

After hearing this, Li Yan showed a smile that he had known this. Although Li Ke had never asked this question again along the way, Li Yan could actually see that. Li Ke wanted to know who the other party was, but if Li Yan didn't say it, he was embarrassed to ask again. Now he still couldn't help it.

"Third brother, to be honest, I don't know who the other party is, but I guessed some information about the other party's identity, combined with this information, and the other party's performance, so I judged that the other party had no malicious intentions towards our brothers, but why did he spend so much effort to attract us? I don't know this." Li Yan spread his hands and still didn't say what information he had guessed.

Seeing that Li Yan still refused to say it, Li Ke couldn't help but ask back with some anger: "Liulang, are you still worried about me, the third brother?"

When Li Yan saw Li Ke angry, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Third brother, it's not that I refuse to say it, but that what I guessed is too amazing, and I don't even know where to start, so it's best to see that person and listen to him explain his exact identity!"

Li Ke looked at Li Yan's expression carefully and found that he did not seem to be telling lies. He also thought that as his brother, there was no need to be angry about this little thing. Thinking of this, Li Ke's anger fell again, but he sighed and said, "Liu Lang, it's okay if you don't say it, but you have to tell me whether this matter will involve the mother's wife?"

The other party sent the seal used by the former Sui royal family, and the two brothers Li Yan and Li Ke were only called Li Yun and Li Zhen, who were also princes, came. In this way, the intention was very obvious. The other party should have a great connection with the former Sui Yang family, and what Li Ke was most worried about was that his mother Yang Concubine.

When Li Yan heard this question, he frowned. He had never thought about this question, but thinking about the other party's possible identity, it was indeed possible that Concubine Yang would be involved.

No, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen! Li Yan suddenly made up his mind and showed a sense of determination on his face and said: "Don't worry, third brother, although the other party has a great relationship with his mother, no matter what his purpose is for us, I will not allow him to do anything involving his mother's mother, otherwise don't blame me for turning against him!"

After staying at the port on Baisha Island for one night, early the next morning, Li Ke and Li Yan got up early. After washing up, they took a boat to the east of Baisha Island. Not far away was Zhongdun Island, which met. However, the tide had not fallen at this time, and the middle of Baisha Island was still separated by sea water.

At about 1 o'clock in the morning, the sea water between the two islands finally receded, revealing a yellow beach in the middle. On the beach, every meter there is a rock the size of a stool, which seems to be convenient for people on both sides of the strait to pass through.
