I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 508
"Boy, how long will I wait for you? I still have things to do. I don't have so much time to spend with you." Zhang Zhongjian said angrily when he saw Lin Xuan came back.

"I said that you are my master after all, and it's fine if you didn't teach me anything. Your apprentice was assassinated, and you didn't mean to help me take revenge. Now let you wait for a few days, and you will leave impatiently. How can you be a master like you." Lin Xuan complained.

The corners of Zhang Zhongjian's mouth twitched, what the hell, I want to teach you, you can even know the lost Phoenix Spear, what can I teach you?

"Aren't you alive? Those who assassinated you are dead, how can I avenge you? Digging your grave?" Zhang Zhongjian said.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, it's useless for you to avenge me when I die, at most you can burn some paper for me during the holidays.

Bah, bah, bah, I'm not going to die.

"According to the distance, those people should arrive in a few days. When they arrive, you can go to sea." Lin Xuan said.

The candidates selected by Zhouzhuang and those arranged by Cheng Chumo's family to go to sea, although a little slower, should arrive in about half a month.

It has been nearly half a month since Lin Xuan was delayed in Liangde for a few days, plus the time spent on the road. If there are no accidents, these few days should arrive.

"The old man has been waiting for a few days. By the way, can that boat be built?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

If the Zheng He treasure ship can be built, it will greatly increase the safety of going to sea.

"Since you want a boat, you are still not willing to wait a few days." Lin Xuan said angrily.

Zhang Zhongjian said with a wry smile: "The old man really has something to do overseas, and it's rare to be able to sneak away for so long."

Lin Xuan was taken aback, Zhang Zhongjian was building a country overseas, and after leaving for so long, he probably couldn't worry about the country's affairs.

"It will take half a year to eight months to build a ship, but only one can be built," Lin Xuan said.

Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "One boat is enough."

Now in mid-January, even if it takes eight months, it can be completed in September at most, and there is no time to go to sea in autumn.

"It's just that the people in the dock are all from Feng An, and I don't have anyone who knows how to build ships. At that time, if they do something wrong, it will be troublesome." Lin Xuan said.

"It's okay. Although the old man doesn't know how to build a ship, there are people under his command who do. They can't hide it from the old man." Zhang Zhongjian said.

Once at sea, he is like a rootless duck. Once something happens to the ship, he is basically dead. When he usually goes to sea, there are people who specialize in checking the ship.

"The problem is that if you do this, you will miss the time to go to sea." Lin Xuan said.

It is unlikely that Feng An will act secretly, but it is difficult for others to say.

In addition, he didn't know anything about shipbuilding, and neither did his subordinates. If Lu Shichun cheated, he wouldn't be able to find out.

Zhang Zhongjian pondered and said: "You are right. This old man has an adopted son who knows a little about shipbuilding. After the old man returns, send him here. When the time comes, you can make arrangements for him to go to the dock."

"That's good, I'll write you a letter when the time comes, and you just ask him to come with the letter." Lin Xuan said.

Changan
It was late at night, and the Ganlu Hall was brightly lit, and Li Shimin was crouching over the desk, processing the memorial.

Li Mu hurried in.

Li Shimin frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, there is news from Lingnan." Li Mu said.

Generally, it was not an urgent matter, and spies would not deliver news in the middle of the night, but the news about Lingnan, which Li Shimin had mainly explained, naturally had to be reported to Li Shimin as soon as possible.

"Say." Li Shimin said.

"The Marquis of Jingyang County arrived in Lingnan and clashed outside Liangde City with Feng Zhidai, the fifth son of Geng Guogong. Geng Guogong appeared in time, and the two sides were just arguing. That night, Geng Guogong hosted a banquet for the Marquis of Jingyang County, and the next day invited the Marquis of Jingyang County to Yushan Hunting, but while hunting, the Marquis of Jingyang County was assassinated and seriously injured by an arrow," Li Mu said.

"What!" Li Shimin was startled, and asked, "How is Lin Xuan injured?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang County is fine after treatment." Li Mu said.

"Have you found out who did it?" Li Shimin said coldly.

Although Lin Xuan hadn't married Li Lizhi yet, he made it known to the world that he was assassinated, and he was simply ignored.

"Returning to Your Majesty, judging from the current news, Feng Zhidai should have done it. Duke Geng has already executed Feng Zhidai." Li Mu said.

Li Shimin knew all about the personalities of Feng An's sons.

Feng Zhidai is arrogant and domineering. It can be said that he bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil.

Li Shimin wished that Feng An's sons would be like Feng Zhidai, who would make Lingnan angry and resentful.

This way of destroying the Feng family will not only prevent chaos in Lingnan, but the people in Lingnan will return to the court.

With Feng Zhidai's character, he had a conflict with Lin Xuan, and it made sense to send someone to assassinate Lin Xuan.

What Li Shimin didn't expect was that Feng An was so cruel that he would kill his own son as soon as he said it.

Changing places, Li Shimin felt that he could not do what Feng An did.

"Your Majesty, besides this, Baiqi also found out a piece of news." Li Mu said.

"what news?"

"The Cui family secretly sent someone to contact Geng Guogong's eldest son, Feng Zhichen. I don't know what they intend to do." Li Mu said.

A killing intent flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said coldly, "Where is he now?"

"Killed by Geng Guogong." Li Mu said.

Li Shimin was taken aback, then sneered and said, "Interesting, really interesting."

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin with some doubts, not knowing why he was laughing.

"I suspect that the reason why they found out that the Cui family secretly sent someone to contact Feng Zhichen was probably because Feng An deliberately disclosed it."

I don't know if Li Shimin was in a good mood, so he explained it to Li Mu.

Li Mu has served Li Shimin for many years, so he naturally knew that Li Shimin was talking to himself rather than talking to him, saying, "Why did Geng Guogong do this?"

"The Cui family secretly sent someone to contact Feng Zhichen. If they could find out, they would have found out a long time ago. Why did they wait until Feng An was killed to find out? Feng An is showing his loyalty to me." Li Shimin said lightly.

"Your Majesty, since that's the case, why didn't Geng Guogong directly send the person to His Majesty? How can he prove that he didn't reach an agreement with the Cui family when he died? Did he do this on purpose to show His Majesty?" Li Mu asked suspiciously.

"If he sends people from the Cui family to me, he will not only offend the Cui family to death, but also bring me a big trouble." Li Shimin said.

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin blankly, not understanding at all.

Li Shimin said to himself: "Feng An killed the Cui family. Although he offended the Cui family, he would not die forever. And the Cui family sent someone to contact Feng Zhichen secretly. There must be a plan. If Feng An sent someone to I, I know about Cui's plan, it's not a good thing."

"Your Majesty, the Cui family has a plan, so if you know it, you can take precautions earlier?" Li Mu said puzzled.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "The plans of the Cui family are nothing more than those. I don't need to know, but I can guess a general idea. What difference does it make if I know? But the Cui family knows that I know their plan, and they are frightened." I don't know what I will do next. Now I don't want the world to be chaotic, and the world can't be chaotic."

He always has to deal with the Cui family, even so, it doesn't matter if he knows it or not.

Now his goal is the grassland, and he needs a stable rear.

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and there are no plans left." Li Mu praised.
