"Why do I think that guy on the bow looks like Fang Yiai?"
Su Chen said doubtfully.
Li Chengqian: "It's that bastard Fang Jun!"
"Just why is he here?"
As the ship approached, everyone saw Fang Yiai jumping on the bow.
"Commander! You are finally back!"
Fang Yiai shouted from the bow of the boat.
When Cheng Wuting and Fang Yiai arrived on Su Chen's ship, Fang Yiai shouted again:
"Oh! Marshal, Your Highness, I hope you will come back!"
"If you don't come back, His Majesty will send a ship to find you!"
Su Chen stared: "Fang Er, why did you come to Guangzhou?"
"How is this going?"
Cheng Wuting smiled and said: "Commander, this guy I met at the mouth of the Pearl River,"
"He said that Xie Shufang, the governor of Guangzhou, had long fled out of fear of crime, and now the prime minister is acting for the governor of Guangzhou in Panyu."
"I didn't let the frigate dock, and I didn't follow it back."
Su Chen and Li Chengqian were stunned: Fang Xuanling came to Guangzhou?
"Commander, let the fleet dock first!"
"When brothers arrive in Panyu, they are going home!"
"I guess my dad should have gotten the news by now."
Fang Yiai said with a smile.
Su Chen ordered the fleet to enter Lingding Yang, and then said to Fang Yiai:
"You haven't said why you came to Guangzhou?"
Fang Yiai: "I said I came here specially to wait for the return of His Highness and the Marshal. Do you believe it, Marshal?"
Before Su Chen could reply, Li Chengqian said: "Don't come here! Tell me quickly what's going on?"
Fang Yiai shrugged: "It's nothing, it's just that my father was demoted to Lingnan by His Majesty, so I followed him here!"
Um?
Su Chen and Li Chengqian were stunned again!
Fang Xuanling was demoted to Lingnan by Li Er?
This is incredible to him!
Fang Mou Duduan is Li Er's right-hand man.
What kind of mistake could he make to have Li Er drive him out of the court and throw him to Lingnan?
Is this Li Ercheng being a fool, or is Fang Xuanling letting herself go?
Seeing the surprised expressions on Su Chen and Li Chengqian's faces, Fang Yiai sighed:
"It's a long story,"
"Your Highness, Commander, we'd better go ashore to rest first, and we'll talk about it later."
The fleet entered the Pearl River and arrived at Panyu. Sure enough, they saw Fang Xuanling waiting on the shore with his people.
"Old minister, I sincerely welcome His Highness to return home!"
Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to help Fang Xuanling up: "Cheng Qian has seen Fang Xuanling!"
"Congratulations to the commander on his triumphant return!"
Su Chen looked at Fang Xuanling, who was as cheerful as usual, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet the prime minister here. The prime minister has worked hard!"
Liu Rengui and others came forward to see Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling said cheerfully: "The soldiers have worked hard all the way, and I have already asked people to prepare rooms for the soldiers to rest."
Everyone thanked Fang Xuanling,
The soldiers who had been wandering overseas for more than a year finally returned to Datang, and they were all very excited.
After getting off the boat and adapting for a while, we followed Fang Yiai into Panyu like a wild horse.
At this time, Elsa ran to Su Chen: "Commander, is this the city of Datang?
Have I finally arrived in the Tang Dynasty?"
Fang Xuanling looked at Su Chen in confusion, where did this foreign woman appear from?
Although Elsa wears Han Chinese clothes, her appearance is still very different from Han Chinese.
Su Chen originally wanted to let Fang Xuanling off the boat after meeting her.
Unexpectedly, she disobeyed and ran off the boat.
Su Chen reluctantly introduced: "Prime Minister, this is Elsa, the princess of the Western Kingdom of Canni. She admires our culture of the Tang Dynasty and came to our country with the Tang Dynasty..."
Li Chengqian said in a strange tone: "I admire you, teacher!"
"Prime Minister, you should congratulate the Lord Protector for taking in a beautiful concubine!"
Su Chen ignored Li Chengqian's strange annoyance and said to Elsa: "I have met Liang Guogong of the Tang Dynasty, a wise elder of the Tang Dynasty!"
Elsa obediently bowed to Fang Xuanling. She had learned a decent set of Han etiquette.
"Elsa thanked His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Elsa saluted Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian said casually: "What do you thank me for?"
Elsa's eyes widened: "Your Highness, you just decided that I am the handsome concubine. I have thanked Your Highness for your consent!"
Su Chen quickly told Elsa to play for a while. Don't think that Li Chengqian won't drive you back when you arrive in Datang.
Elsa knew that Su Chen was Princess Changle’s consort and Li Chengqian was Su Chen’s uncle.
So I was careful along the way, trying to reduce my presence as much as possible, for fear of offending Li Chengqian.
I don’t know why I suddenly became skinny again!
Fang Xuanling was a strict wife, so he had never seen such a fight, and his beard twitched.
But he is too old to care about this.
Invite Li Chengqian and Su Chen to get on the carriage and drive all the way to the Governor's Office in Guangzhou.
Along the way, Su Chen saw that Fang Xuanling was in good spirits and did not look like she had broken up with Li Er.
"The weather in Panyu is hot, I will serve tea to His Highness later,"
"Your Highness, Marshal, first take a sip of juice to quench your thirst."
Fang Xuanling smiled and asked someone to bring two drinks to Li Chengqian and Su Chen.
Su Chen took a sip: Coconut juice, good!
"Prime Minister, why are you here in Guangzhou?"
Su Chen couldn't help but be curious,
Li Chengqian glared at Su Chen, Teacher, you are so rude.
How can you expose someone's scars at the first meeting?
Fang Xuanling looked indifferent when he arrived, still smiling.
"Someone is transferring people overseas. I reported it too late, which angered His Majesty..."
Moving people overseas, Su Chen heard something new.
Seeing Li Chengqian glaring at him fiercely, Su Chen didn't ask any more questions.
Fang Xuanling took the initiative and said: "Your Highness, don't worry!"
"Your Majesty has calmed down now and has issued an order for me to return to Beijing."
So this is ah.
Fang Xuanling knew that Li Chengqian and Su Chen had been working hard all the way, but did not talk to them much.
Su Chen and Li Chengqian were indeed tired along the way, and they did not let Fang Xuanling hold a banquet in the evening.
Had a casual dinner and went to bed early.
On Elsa's side, Fang Xuanling sent someone to prepare a small courtyard for her, as well as several maids and maids.
After all, she is a princess from a foreign country, and Fang Xuanling will not take her lightly.
Have a nice night's rest,
The next morning, Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling chatted about what happened in the Tang Dynasty in the past year.
Su Chen went to Liu Rengui and others to decide on the fleet's next itinerary.
After more than a year of hard work overseas, and a continuous voyage of 20,000 to 30,000 miles on the way back, the entire army was exhausted.
However, everyone was eager to return home and still did not want to stay in Panyu longer.
So Su Chen decided to stay in Guangzhou for three days before the fleet continued heading north.
Fang Xuanling had already sent eight hundred miles to express the good news of the army's return to Chang'an yesterday.
Su Chen estimated that Chang'an would have received the news when the fleet reached Fuzhou.
After deciding on the fleet's next itinerary, Su Chen returned to the Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou, where someone was already waiting for him at the door.
