Seasickness is as unbearable as coughing and love.
Li Qinzai was sitting in a wheelchair, vomiting and his face turned blue. Every time the ship rose and fell with the waves, it would cause him strong discomfort.
The world was spinning and my stomach was churning. I had never felt this uncomfortable even when I was lying in bed after being seriously injured.
Xiao Baga was very busy, holding a basin and letting him vomit happily, wiping his face and mouth and patting his back from time to time.
Li Qinzai couldn't vomit anything from his stomach and could only vomit acid water. He still felt uncomfortable.
After finally calming down, Li Qinzai was helped back to the cabin and lay on the bed, moaning sadly.
"I will never take a boat again in my life!" Li Qinzai vowed secretly.
When Xue Na came to visit, what he saw was Li Qinzai's frail appearance at this moment.
"Hey? What happened to Brother Jingchu? Is the injury worse?" Xue Ne asked nervously.
When Xiao Baga told him that there was no problem with the injury, it was just due to seasickness, Xue Ne was stunned for a long time, and then burst into laughter.
"Brother Jingchu actually has this problem? Haha!" Xue Ne laughed.
Lying on the bed, Li Qinzai turned his head with difficulty and gave him a death look.
His body was too weak and the power of his eyes was reduced. Xue Ne did not feel the chill of death at all and was still laughing happily.
Forget it, wait until the injury heals before dealing with him. It's been too long since I've had any real contact with him. He probably forgot that the Xue family's dogs are not at the same level as the Li family's evildoers.
The Li family has become a spirit.
Xue Ne sat unceremoniously beside his bed and asked with longing: "Brother Jingchu, after we return to Chang'an, will the emperor reward us?"
"You and I have made considerable contributions, so a small reward wouldn't be too much, right?"
Seeing that Li Qinzai was too lazy to pay attention to him, Xue Ne immediately said: "Of course, brother Jingchu has made more contributions than me. General Qibi said that your battle changed the pattern of the Eastern Expedition. Anyway, you are very smart. I
I don’t understand either.”
"But I'm only a little bit behind you. Taking down a city without a single blow is pretty impressive, right?"
Li Qinzai sighed and said weakly: "What reward do you want? Is your family short of food, clothing or money?"
"There is no shortage, but you will be rewarded for your merits, is this the truth?" Xue Ne showed a confused smile: "If possible, I hope the emperor can give me a knighthood, it doesn't have to be too high, a baron will do."
Li Qinzai said curiously: "You are the eldest son of Xue, and you will inherit your father's title. Why do you need another title?"
Xue Na sighed: "My father always dislikes me, so I will simply earn military merits by myself and gain a title based on my own abilities. I won't have to look at his face in the future."
"Brother Jingchu, you don't know how much I envy you. You are much better than me. You have made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years. Seeing that the title has changed from county son to county prince now, maybe the title will still be the same after returning to Chang'an.
It will rise one liter."
"A title earned by one's own ability is the most valuable. For example, you don't care at all who the British Duke's title is passed to. Maybe a hundred years from now, your grandfather's title will be equal to that of your grandfather. That's great. Now you
Who dares not to take things seriously when saying something in the Duke's Mansion?"
"It's a story that has been told for a long time. Even if you fart loudly at home, you can do whatever you want. Your ancestor is also very doting on you. This is what a son of a powerful person should look like."
Li Qinzai sneered: "I am the fifth oldest in this generation. The title of British Duke is not mine. Of course I have to earn it by myself. You are the eldest son of Xue. No matter how great your contribution is, do you think the emperor will give it to you?"
Knighted?"
"If the emperor grants you a title, the court will be in chaos. Stop thinking about it. It's fate. Just accept it."
Xue Ne sighed sadly, his expression as distorted and uncomfortable as if he was seasick.
Not long after, Xue Ne suddenly became happy again.
"Anyway, I have made great achievements in Goguryeo. My father's face finally looks better and he is not so picky about me. And I am much better than those bastard dudes in Chang'an City. I must have the confidence to be domineering in the future.
of."
Thinking about it this way, Xue Na suddenly felt that his life was still very optimistic.
Life is like this, don't look up. Looking at the way Li Qinzai lives, Xue Ne can't catch up even if he tries to flatter him. The more you look at it, the more uncomfortable it will become.
We must learn to look down and look at those idle and dissatisfied dudes. Isn't Xue Ne much better than them? Maybe he will also become "other people's children" in the words of Chang'an's powerful elders.
Xue Ne secretly decided that after returning to Chang'an, he would get together more with those unsatisfactory bastards to deepen their friendship, or simply visit them and chat with their elders.
Thanks to my hard work, I am the perfect dog in my dreams.
The more Xue Ne thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but laugh weirdly.
Li Qinzai looked at him expressionlessly, how could this guy look like his mentally retarded students?

Dengzhou Port of the Tang Dynasty.
Dengzhou is a small city, but it is a very important strategic city in the Tang Dynasty.
Because Dengzhou has a large port, this port is responsible for the maritime trade ports between Datang and other countries, as well as the construction and berthing of Datang naval ships.
Especially in recent decades, the Tang Dynasty regarded Goguryeo as its biggest enemy. Dengzhou was only a few days' voyage from Goguryeo by sea. It sent troops to the east several times, and the Tang Dynasty's navy all set out from Dengzhou Port.
Although the town is small, it is very prosperous. Maritime merchants from Silla, Baekje and Japan usually use Dengzhou as their landing port. Massive amounts of goods are piled up at Dengzhou port. Businessmen from various countries come and go, and the prosperity is even
It is not inferior to the East and West Markets of Chang'an City.
Today's weather in Dengzhou is beautiful and sunny. After autumn, the sea breeze brings a slight coolness, which makes people more comfortable.
A group of ragged fishermen wearing bamboo hats walked toward their fishing boats in the harbor.
They were all middle-aged men, their skin tanned and shiny by the sun. They walked barefoot on the flat road, carrying fishing nets and long oars in their hands.
The group of fishermen were talking in low voices as they walked.
"There is news from Goguryeo that our Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition is going more and more smoothly. It is said that the land in the north of Goguryeo has been completely occupied. It won't be long before Goguryeo will be destroyed. Haha, it's very refreshing. Today we will fight more
Two nets for fish.”
Another fisherman also laughed and said: "I don't understand the major issues of the country. I only know that our Tang Dynasty King has occupied the city of humiliation. Tsk, this is good news for us fishermen."
The other fishermen laughed.
The two countries have been at war for many years, and there are deep grievances between the court and the people.
Not only do they attack and target each other militarily, the people of the two countries are often enemies of each other.
The humiliating city of Goguryeo was a seaport city. Like the people of Dengzhou, there were also many Goguryeo fishermen who relied on the sea to make a living.
Fishermen from both countries rely on the sea to make a living, and since the sea area is so large, conflicts naturally arise.
Over the years, there have been many incidents of private boat collisions and fights between fishermen from the two countries, resulting in casualties on both sides and growing hatred.
Now that the Tang Dynasty has conquered Yi City, it is certainly good news for the fishermen in Dengzhou.
The city is gone, and so are the government and garrison. Who will support the fishermen of Goguryeo in the future?
