Chapter 735

That's not even mentioning it.

So many people in the grain transport team, and not a single one returned.

What kind of situation is this?

Just at this time, Zhangsun Wuji also rushed over.

Looking at his appearance, he had something very urgent.

Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly bowed to Li Er.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Fang Xuanling, as if he had some concerns.

Li Er waved his hand.

"Speak, Xuanling is not an outsider."

With the Emperor's permission, although he felt it was somewhat inappropriate, Zhangsun Wuji still spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates suddenly accused us of selling out their information. It caused them to lose a batch of elites!"

Japanese pirates!

Li Er suddenly regretted letting Zhangsun Wuji speak just like that.

However, it was too late.

Fang Xuanling was shocked upon hearing these words.

"Your Majesty, the Great Tang court is actually colluding with pirates?"

There had been some rumors before.

But most people didn't believe it. Who could have imagined that a dignified great nation's court...

Li Er didn't know how to explain it to Fang Xuanling.

He had to ignore it.

He continued to ask Zhangsun Wuji.

He had just reported this content, and there was nothing fatal; there must be hidden things.

"Continue, what is the fatal matter?"

Zhangsun Wuji looked at Fang Xuanling again.

"Actually so shameless as to collude with pirates?"

He steeled his heart and said.

"A group of Japanese pirates sneaked into Great Qin, but they were killed. The pirates believe that it was His Highness the Prince of Wei who leaked their information."

It involved Li Tai!

Li Er was a bit unsettled.

This matter is terrifying to think about!

"What were the Japanese doing sneaking into Great Qin?

Since it was sneaking, how would Li Tai know?

And on what basis did the pirates conclude that it was Li Tai who leaked the information?"

Three questions in a row.

This was also what Fang Xuanling wanted to know, but he didn't dare to ask too much.

Zhangsun Wuji knew that this matter couldn't be told in its entirety.

It involved some secrets he and Li Tai had conspired about privately that couldn't be told.

He had to push everything onto Great Qin.

"I suspect this is Great Qin's conspiracy. They hung the pirates' corpses by the sea and even posted notices, writing by name that it was the Prince of Wei who provided their information.

How could the Prince of Wei know about them sneaking into Great Qin?

Now, the Japanese seem to want revenge. We must be on guard against the Prince of Wei being assassinated on his way back!"

This explanation was not convincing enough.

But the crisis Li Tai was facing was real.

Li Er began to worry.

"Wuji, you said Li Ke and Li Tai haven't returned yet; could it be that they have already been assassinated by the Japanese?"

Being concerned leads to chaos.

Li Er began to make the worst guesses.

Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly comforted him.

"That shouldn't be the case. When these Japanese passed the message to me, their angry appearance showed that they hadn't succeeded."

Facing this situation, Li Er couldn't sit still.

He was worried about the safety of his two sons.

He was also worried about what kind of conspiracy Great Qin was plotting against the Great Tang again.

He immediately slapped the dragon desk.

"Xuanling, accompany me to Great Qin again to see what they are up to?"

Without seeing it clearly, Li Er truly couldn't be at ease...

The monarch and minister once again embarked on the road to Great Qin.

Changancheng.

Great Ming Palace Imperial Study.

Qin Mu was reading a report from Liaodong.

After Qi Jiguang took charge of Liaodong, he completely integrated the two small countries of Fuyu and Woju into Great Qin.

These two small countries, although small and poor.

But their people were almost all from hunting backgrounds, and everyone knew how to use bows and arrows.

Qi Jiguang issued a military order.

Except for the necessary garrison personnel, the rest of the army was all organized into hundred-man squads to go into Qidan territory to plunder cattle and sheep.

The cattle and sheep seized were purchased at a unified price by the Liaodong Governor's Office.

This made those soldiers howl with excitement.

Quite a few soldiers took this opportunity to make a huge fortune.

These people naturally supported Qi Jiguang wholeheartedly.

In a short period of time, they rapidly completed the Sinicization of Fuyu and Woju.

Afterwards, a large number of Great Tang refugees were sent to Liaodong.

Qi Jiguang used the grassland irrigation technology given to him by Qin Mu to reclaim large tracts of wasteland and settle the refugees.

First-generation immigrants could get large tracts of land almost for free.

This also made those refugees full of energy.

Overall, Liaodong is now united, working together to suppress the Qidan and build their homes.

Qi Jiguang had another request in this report.

He had discovered large amounts of coal and iron mines in Liaodong.

He wanted to ask the court to send more craftsmen over to turn the mined iron into weapons and farm tools on the spot.

Qin Mu saw that Qi Jiguang had achieved such results in a short period of time and felt deeply gratified.

At the same time, he was also pondering where to draw craftsmen from to send to him?

Just at this time.

A young eunuch came to report.

"Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Yu, requests an audience."

Qin Mu had given Lu Yu many hints before.

At this time, hearing that she had come.

He knew that she must have changed her mind because of the hints he had given.

This woman's ability was actually not that outstanding.

Great Qin officials who were better than her were everywhere.

However, she had an advantage that no one else had. That is, she had been doing business in Jiangnan for a long time...

What Qin Mu wanted to use was her resources and connections!
