Chapter 924: A Tremendous Achievement

s still tight. I still need to sell flowers every month to make ends meet, but things should improve before winter."At that time, I plan to take the elderly and children from the relief agency out ont...The Hailing Army assisted the eight foreign envoys in entering the imperial court. Even if they couldn't get a share of the spoils, they would at least make their presence known again before the emperor and the court.

Then, when you put the good news leaflets and the armor exchange leaflets together, the Emperor will be delighted and might just approve it directly!

Thinking this way, he immediately ordered, “Jaya, you take a ship to welcome the envoys of the eight countries.”

While no one else responded, Jiaxi waved his hand to stop them. Then he leaned in and whispered a few words in General Tang's ear.

General Tang was startled and stood up abruptly!

Li Zhensheng immediately stopped General Tang Lao from speaking, “General, walls have ears. Otherwise we wouldn’t have snuck into the camp at night!”

General Tang forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded lightly, and paused for a moment. He changed his order, "Jia Yi, you and Liu Yang lead two ships with one thousand soldiers to set sail immediately to greet the embassy. If there are any valuable items, use swift boats to send them to the small pier first and disembark. I will have people meet you there."

"Yes, General." Jiayi and Liu Yang stepped forward in unison, responding with a chorus of affirmation as they received the order.

Sea vessels are generally larger in size, so the docks they enter are naturally quite large as well.

There are many ships and people coming and going, somewhat chaotic.

But about five or six miles from the main dock, there was a small dock that served as Tang's private harbor. On weekdays, it was guarded by old soldiers and wounded veterans who had followed Tang's family for generations.

Important supplies for the fleet, disembarking from here, will absolutely remain secret.

They confirmed the details once again, and Jiayi and Liuyang set off with Jixi and the little shadow cat brother.

General Tang also began to write a memorial, and Li Zhensheng asked for paper and ink, together they wrote a letter to the Lord.

Then, along with General Tang's memorial, it was expedited to Kyoto by eight hundred li.

When people come to eat at their place, the Li family is not being polite, they just straight up take some food.

General Tang not only wasn't angry, but was very pleased.

There's no other reason, he's been secretly eyeing the Li family boy, hoping to catch him and bring him home as his son-in-law!

In Li's courtyard, Old Mrs. Li said she wasn't waiting for her children and grandchildren, but how could she not miss them

By midnight, only Li Zhensheng had returned. The rest of the boys had gone out to sea to greet the fleet.

Li Lao Tai laughed and scolded a few words, but she didn't mind.

It's a pity that Tao Hongying prepared so many bowls of bone broth noodles, but it won't go to waste.

Li Zhensheng ate a large bowl, and the rest was made into supper for the attendants and maidservants in the outer courtyard. They ate with smiles on their faces...

That night, the sea and sky were at their darkest. Two swift boats sliced through the waves like arrows, arriving at a small pier beside the military harbor.

The old soldiers of the Tang family held torches, circled three times, and only then did Liu Yang and Jia Yi jump down from the boat. They quickly exchanged hands, and then three large wooden boxes were carried onto the Tang family's carriage.

Two of the wooden chests were very heavy, and their latches were fastened tightly. The other chest, however, had gaps, and from time to time, muffled whimpers could be heard coming from inside.

But the veterans of the Tang family were well-trained, as if they hadn't heard a thing. They quickly drove their carriage into the darkness, leaving without a sound or trace.

Jia Yi and Liu Yang got back on the speedboat and glided into the sea.

Liu Yang glanced at Jia Yi and asked, "For such a great achievement, is it just given to the General"

"Jia Yi smiled nonchalantly and replied, "You're well aware of it, the General has a tight grip on Quanzhou. Trying to hide anything from him is impossible. Why not be straightforward and have him lend a hand That way, he can share in the credit when the time comes."

"And what my uncle meant was, when I was in prison in Kyoto before, the General spared no effort to get me out. This time, it's just a return favor."

"Indeed," Liu Yang nodded, whispering. "Jiaxi and Ji'an brought back eight foreign envoys this time, which is already quite ostentatious. Especially Jiaxi, he even married a queen... Just thinking about how everyone must be shocked out of their wits makes me laugh!"

Jia Yi also couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect that this kid has been mischievous since he was young, and he still has this ability when he grows up!"

"The family at home must be surprised right now, waiting to see Jiaxi's wife and children!"

"Yes, luckily grandma is open-minded, otherwise Jiaxi's butt would have blossomed!"

"Just marrying his own child without telling his family, this kid is really bold and deserves a beating!"

As they chatted and laughed along the way, they soon caught up with the fleet and boarded a large ship. After a short rest, they simply waited for morning to arrive before entering the harbor.

They had no way of knowing that Li Zhensheng was too busy to have a chance to speak about it.

The fact that another queen daughter-in-law has joined the family was completely unknown!

A sunrise over the sea is one of the most magnificent spectacles in the world.

The crimson sun, like a fiery ball, rose from the sea level. The moment it completely cleared the horizon, the sky and sea were instantly draped in a golden veil, a breathtaking sight that left one awestruck.

Just at that time, on the dock of Helan Naval Port, quite a few people were already waiting in the morning breeze.

General Tang led several generals from his camp, along with the magistrate of Quanzhou Prefecture, who had only been notified yesterday, and finally, Elder Li and others.

The magistrate of Quanzhou Prefecture specially paid his respects to Old Lady Li, with a very polite expression.

He didn't take sides in court, had no patrons, and was just an ordinary official. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to Quanzhou as magistrate.

After all, in the eyes of the world, Quanzhou is just a remote and desolate place.

He felt justified in his position, content to defend Quanzhou and live a secluded life there.

But the Li family was a favorite of the emperor, enjoying his immense favor.

He could pretend he didn't know and avoid visiting Li's house.

Now that we meet face to face, it would be inappropriate to neglect etiquette.

Lao Li was very easygoing and didn't put on airs. After a few pleasantries, they stopped talking.

The magistrate was fairly satisfied, but when he looked at General Tang, his mood became complicated.

The Hainan Army's prestige in Quanzhou was too high. Don't look at him as just a local leader, he wouldn't be able to speak a hundred words without Tang the General silencing him with one sentence.

The eight-nation envoys, having journeyed across the vast ocean, came to pay homage. Such a momentous event, and he was the last to know about it.

At this point, it's not just about sharing the credit. If you don't treat them well, you'll be blamed instead. It's really frustrating!

But holding his breath, he couldn't complain.

Size matters!

Now, Tang Family and Li Family's fists were obviously bigger than his...

As thoughts diverged among the crowd, a dozen or so large ships sailed into view, their backs facing the fiery sunrise.

The first two ships bore the banners of the Hai Lan army, and the next three belonged to the Tian Wu. The rest were a bit more complicated, with various designs representing the eight visiting foreign envoys.

The Li family was so excited that they were all straining their necks to look.

Tao Hongying supported Li Laotai, anxiously asking, "Where is An Ge'er Why can't we see him yet! This boat is moving too slowly!"

"Oh, don't worry, don't worry! You'll see it right away!" Li Laotai comforted her daughter-in-law, but she still secretly lifted her foot.

A jade hairpin adorned her hair, catching the morning light and reflecting it on her face, as if even the wrinkles held a glimmer.

Jia An stood at the edge of the ship, dressed in black from head to toe, making him look as cold and straight as a birch tree in the north.

He was also straining to look, and almost at the first glance he saw his mother and grandmother.

He endured almost three years of tears, he could no longer hold them back, and ran out wildly! it you who had the wet nurse poisoned Did you send Little He the Fufeng Cream"Chen Lao Er was in excruciating pain, rolling on the ground and shouting."No, no! I don't know! Give me a pull, I'm dying...
