Chapter 922: Heavy News

you send someone to find me back"Mr. Wang hesitantly shook his head, reached out slowly to touch his son, and urged him to the backyard with a choked voice. "Go see your brother."Little Li was only ni..."Go, go. Bring Ang'er back soon. We have plenty of time ahead of us. There's no need to rush things." Old Madam Li readily let them go, as long as her grandson was safe and sound.

Li Zhensheng immediately pulled his son and nephews to the study in the outer courtyard.

As soon as Li Zhensheng stepped inside, he said to Xi Ge'er, "Xi Ge'er, tell me in detail about what happened to you at sea, and what news you brought back. Don't leave anything out, I need to make arrangements in advance and get prepared."

Reporting good news but not bad, is something almost all Li family children who have left home are good at.

Needless to say, the process of going overseas will definitely not be as easy as Brother Xi just said.

Jia Xi knew he couldn't keep it a secret, and he shouldn't try to.

So, he started from the beginning and explained everything in detail.

When we were at sea for a month, after a storm, our fleet was scattered, and Ango and I's ship ran aground on a big island.

My master from the Foreign Affairs Department and I were seriously injured, and the ship also needs major repairs. We'll have to stay here for a while.

During that time, we made diplomatic visits to local countries and received a lot of help. Unfortunately, the master eventually fell seriously ill and passed away. We inherited the national letters, seals, and diplomatic insignia such as the envoy's staff.

"I was..."

At this point, he blushed slightly and cleared his throat. "That is... I met the princess of this small country and we got married..."

"What, you got married!" Li Zhensheng and Jiayi and the others exclaimed in surprise all at once.

Jiale heavily patted his younger brother's shoulder, laughing and crying, "You kid, you really are something! This speed is too fast!"

Cat-er was even like a monkey, jumping over and bothering Xī, "Brother, you must tell me, what does your sister-in-law look like Is she like those foreigners on the street, with yellow hair and blue eyes"

Since Jiaxi had already started talking, she might as well explain everything.

"No, my wife's name is Abe. She just has darker skin. She has big eyes and a high nose bridge, she's not blonde with blue eyes. She's in the fleet, and she'll be back in a few days. Then you'll see her."

"When I got married, I went back out to sea with Ango. On our way back from the previous voyage, we stopped to pick up Ai Bei, and found out that she had given birth to a son for me! The old king had passed away, too, so she became the new queen."

"This time she handed over the government to her younger brother, brought the children over with me, firstly to return to my in-laws' home, and secondly to visit our Tianwu..."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a long time. The air in the room seemed to freeze.

After quite a while, the kitten jumped up and pounced on his older brother, shouting excitedly.

"Brother, you actually married the Queen! The Queen!"

Jia Yi and Liu Yang also stepped forward to pat Jia Xi's back forcefully.

"Jia Yi burst into laughter, "You kid, you're really making a fortune quietly! You marry a wife, you marry a wife, and you end up marrying a queen! You...you simply..."

Liu Yang also chimed in, "When others encounter a storm, they're bound to die. Not only did you escape with your life, but you also married a queen! Your luck is simply incredible!"

Jia Xi scratched his head, feeling smug inside but still pretending humility, "I don't know how it happened either, hehe, that's just the way it is!"

Li Zhensheng clapped the boys away and pulled Jiaxi back down, asking, "Jiaxi, your wife came back with you. Will she return to her country afterward Are you just going to abandon your political duties What will happen to her brother Will he usurp the throne"

"Also, you married a foreign woman outside the family. Was that to find a way out for your family"

Hearing this, Jiayi and Liu Yang, as well as Maogeron, all sat down, their expressions becoming more solemn.

Ginger is the old spice!

Jia Xi wasn't surprised at all. Uncle immediately guessed their plan with Angie!

"Uncle, Abe and I truly fell in love before getting married. But venturing out to sea is dangerous, and when Abe and I decided to continue our journey, I was afraid she would suffer alongside me. After discussing it with her, I left her behind. "

"At the time, I also intended to treat Abe's nation as a supply station, and a safe harbor when returning. But unexpectedly, Abe gave birth to my child, and became queen."

His younger brother is only eight years old. He was raised by Aibie since he was young, and they have a close relationship. He enjoys drawing and reading but dislikes political affairs, so for now, there's no possibility of him usurping the throne.

"I've talked to Angkor, and if it's allowed at home, maybe I can live in her country with Abe and the children after this."

Her country could also become our final fallback, even as a transit point to reach even more distant seafaring nations.

Of course, it's better if this back door isn't needed at home.

"Afterwards, it wouldn't be difficult for us to come back by sea every month."

Li Zhensheng sighed inwardly, feeling a mixture of relief and heartache.

The children at home have truly grown up. They've almost all seen the dangers and shortcomings behind the current prosperity of our family, and they are all doing their best to add wings to our home, searching for a way out in case of absolute necessity.

"Alright, your uncle understands." Li Zhensheng nodded and after a moment of thought asked, "In your fleet, are there any other envoys from foreign countries"

"Yes, Uncle," Jiaxi replied. "We've been to seven or eight countries in the past three years, and almost every country has sent envoys back to Tianwu."

But these envoys, in their own countries, were almost all of low rank. Even if they encountered danger at sea, it would cause no loss to their countries.

"If we must speak of identity, of course, the highest one is still Queen Eibe."

Li Zhensheng nodded repeatedly, "If Aibei and the child come back to recognize their ancestors, it's naturally a matter for our Li family.

"

But now she has come as queen, with the envoys of other nations. They will have to report to court.

"The Marquis is about to lead his troops to reclaim Jiangbei. The entire Tianwu is filled with military fervor. With envoys from all nations arriving at this time, the Emperor and the court will surely welcome them with great enthusiasm."

"In a while, I'll take you and Jiayì to see General Tang of the Hai Lan Army. Please ask him to dispatch warships to greet the envoy fleet, and have him write the report as well."

"But I will write a private letter to the Marquis, explaining your and the Queen's matter, and then the Marquis will tell it to the Emperor. In this way, after you arrive in Kyoto, even if others try to sow discord, they will have lost their opportunity."

"Alright, Uncle, just arrange it as you see fit. We'll listen to you," Jiaxi quickly replied.

He and Jia'an learned a lot about facing natural risks at sea.

When it comes to guessing people's true intentions, I'm still far from accurate.

Now that I'm home, listening to my elders is the wisest choice.

Li Jia Yi patted his younger brother's shoulder and smiled, "You're back just in time, I'm getting married in a few days."

"Since you're here in Quanzhou, you should at least stay for half a month to rest and recuperate. It would be perfect to finish the wedding celebrations before returning to Xindu."

Li Zhensheng recalled this matter and quickly instructed the boys, “When the time comes, if your grandmother wants to return to Xindu with the fleet, you must persuade her to stay.”

"This year, the lord intends to retake Jiangbei. Once successful, the situation in Xin Du and the court will inevitably change drastically. How exactly, no one can say for sure."

They are safe in Quanzhou. Their families feel at ease knowing they are there. Should anything happen, they wouldn't have to worry about being caught.

Everyone nodded.

Jia Xi suddenly remembered something and said, "Uncle, I have a perfect excuse right here."

"What reason" Li Zhensheng asked curiously.

Two updates are served up~!worried that if you go out, bad people might take advantage of you. If even a single scratch happens to you, not even a bruise or a lost hair, Grandma wouldn't bear it!"Jia Yin nestled in Grandma's ar...
