Tang Kingdom, Haizhou, Bailing Island.
This is the westernmost coastal port of the Tang Kingdom, facing each other across the sea from the Chengshanjiao of Qingzhou, the distance between the two places is only more than 150 miles, sailing into the sea, if the wind and water are smooth, you can reach the other side in about two days.
At this moment, a large ship is anchored on the coast, the flag is waving on the ship, and countless Tang soldiers are looking forward to it, waiting for an important person to arrive.
The countless civil and military officers of the Tang Kingdom on the shore were also looking forward to it, but as time passed, the eyes gradually revealed a look of anxiety or impatience, and only a civil official about forty years old, with a slender figure and extraordinary bearing, was waiting with confidence and calmness.
"Master Li, if this Si Yi is still here, don't play us to have fun" A civil official wearing a hat couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and asked Shi Li, who was calm and relaxed.
It is none other than Li Hongzhang, a cabinet minister of the late Qing Dynasty who was born by Chang Mao, who was implanted as a member of the Li Shi nationality, because of his ability to perform internal affairs, so he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and his status was equivalent to the three dukes of the Han Dynasty.
Li Hongzhang laughed when he heard this: "Hehe, Lord Jin, please be restless, most of the people who have the ability are arrogant, this Si Yi not only has the best archery skills on the island, but also a martial arts is second only to King Zhao."
Being able to get the assistance of such a fierce general is better than thousands of troops, so why not wait for an extra hour for the country?"
Lord Jin looked skeptical: "The rumors in the rivers and lakes may not be credible, to say that he is good at archery may be true, but if it is said that martial arts are second only to King Zhao, it is a bit exaggerated."
Li Hongzhang smiled: "Come on, Lord Jin, I won't quarrel with you, I got the guidance of a strange person, and I personally went to Taibai Mountain to solicit it, and only after looking at the grass house did I persuade Si Zhuangshi to go down the mountain to assist my emperor in conquering the world."
In order to show the importance that the court attaches to him, this official invited all his colleagues to see him off, so you should bear with it for a while."
Qin Hui next to him interjected: "Hehe, the two don't have to quarrel, it's a mule or a horse to come out for a walk, real gold is not afraid of fire, if you have real ability, you can know if you have the real ability to try it on the battlefield."
"The King of Jeolla Has Arrived" With a crisp and loud shout, a handsome young man in his early twenties, with a strong physique, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing an embroidered gold python robe and a white cloak, urged the white horse under his crotch, and came to the shore surrounded by a team of 100 people.
This person is none other than Li Longji, who was born by Emperor Kangxi a few years ago, implanted as Li Shimin's cousin, his father and Li Yuan's compatriots, so he was canonized as the king by Li Shimin, with Jeolla County as a fief, known as the "King of Jeolla", and was in charge of the government with Li Hongzhang and Qin Hui in the case of Li Shimin's expedition.
"See the prince" Under the guidance of Li Hongzhang and Qin Hui, all the civil and military officers on the shore stepped forward to pay homage together.
Li Longji took the reins of his horse, turned over and dismounted, and returned the salute to the hundred officials: "You don't have to be polite."
At this moment, it is the beginning of August, and the style on the coast is so big that Li Longji's cloak is hunting, and the green silk is flying, and he asks Li Hongzhang with his hands on his waist: "Master Li, are you sure that this Si Yi will definitely come?"
Li Hongzhang arched his hand and said: "Back to the prince's words, Weichen tried his best to finally persuade Si Yi to let him go down the mountain to assist His Majesty."
His father-in-law has already promised in person, and he shouldn't change his hexagram."
"Oh, Lord Li is the head of the civil and military forces in the capital, and the promise of the position of general is so unattractive" Li Longji frowned and asked.
Li Hongzhang replied: "This Si Yi is obsessed with archery, and he doesn't have much interest in fame, I told him that the strongest archery in the world is in the Central Plains, and the world-famous ones are Xue Rengui, Yang Guerrilla, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong and others, only by defeating them can they prove that their archery skills are unparalleled in the world, and they can successfully arouse Si Yi's interest in going to the Central Plains." ” Li Longji bowed his head and said: "Lord Li's agitation method is good, the imperial brother repaired the book to me a few days ago, saying that the second brother was bewitched by the eldest grandson Wujian and had returned from Qingzhou to Datang by boat.
The Qingzhou War is imminent, and it is the time to employ people, and with Si Yi to help in the war, it will definitely make our army much easier.
No matter what method you use, as long as you can persuade Si Yi to work for my Datang."
Listening to Li Longji's words, Li Hongzhang, Qin Hui, Lord Jin and other civil and military officers couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts, isn't this eldest grandson Wujian the woman that His Majesty once liked, how did he get involved with King Zhao, but no one dared to ask more about this kind of thing, so they had to pretend to understand in a daze, and never mentioned this matter.
After waiting for a while, there was still no trace of Si Yi, and Lord Jin began to complain again: "Lord Li, this Si Yi is unreliable and has put up such a big shelf, so it is really disrespectful for the prince to wait here for so long."
"It's okay, for the sake of the country, even if you wait for three days and three nights, what's the matter" Li Longji stood straight on the shore, letting the sea breeze blow his clothes and hunting, with the posture of a corporal of courtesy.
Li Hongzhang apologized to Li Longji: "Weichen is incompetent, so the prince has been waiting for a long time."
When I went to visit Si Yi, I learned that he would get married in the near future, and according to the intention of Si Yi's father-in-law and his fiancée, I hoped that Si Yi would go to the Central Plains after he got married.
But the minister pondered that the Qingzhou War was imminent, and it was the time to employ people, so he tried his best to persuade Si Yi and his father-in-law to let Si Yi go to Qingzhou to help the war now, and then marry his fiancée after returning triumphantly.
Maybe I was reluctant to give up at the time of parting, so I delayed the hour."
Li Longji laughed and said: "Haha, this is human nature, everyone should be restless and wait patiently."
After waiting for another half an hour, I saw a black horse galloping from the east, carrying a man eight feet five inches tall, about twenty-five or six years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and ape arms, and a man in a green shirt galloping.
"It's coming, it's coming, Si Zhuangshi is here" Li Hongzhang was overjoyed and reminded his impatient colleagues loudly.
In the blink of an eye, Yi rode his horse to the shore, turned over and dismounted with the reins, and saluted Li Hongzhang: "Lord Li, because of the delay in private matters at home, I still hope for Haihan."
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay" Li Hongzhang smiled and saluted, turned around and introduced Li Longji, "This is the king of Jeolla, I have been waiting for a long time" Hou Yi clenched his fists slightly at Li Longji, and he didn't even call "Wangye", even if it was a salute.
Lord Jin next to him showed displeasure: "It's really rude."
"The mountain village man has been practicing archery in the mountains for many years, so he doesn't know etiquette."
Hou Yi held his head high, and his voice was loud to defend himself.
Li Longji smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, you don't have to care about etiquette, as long as Si Zhuangshi can make contributions to the Tang Dynasty, even if you don't give courtesy when you see Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"This is what the prince said, Si Yi remembered it in his heart" Hou Yi was expressionless, and unceremoniously grabbed Li Longji's handle.
Qin Hui next to him interjected: "Isn't Si Zhuangshi known as the Tang Dynasty champion in archery, why is there no bow or arrow?"
Si Yi said with a lost face: "I can open ten stone bows and arrows, but I can't find ordinary bows and arrows in the Tang Dynasty, there is no difference between ordinary bows and arrows, and there is no difference between one stone bow, two stone bows, and three stone bows, so I simply don't bring bows and arrows."
Qin Hui sneered: "What a big breath, you can open a ten-stone bow, I'm afraid that there is no craftsman in the world who can make it, and the most powerful bow in my Tang Dynasty is five stones, and it took the imperial blacksmith a year to make it, except for King Zhao, no one has been able to pull it out until now."
Come on, take that bow and give it to Si Zhuangshi to try."
Si Yi looked proud, put his hands behind his back and said, "Then I will see and see."

Half an hour later, a general of the Yulin Guard took a large bow, and saw that the bowstring of this bow was about seven feet long, almost as high as Hou Yi.
Because no one except Li Yuanba could pull it away, there was no matching feather arrow.
Hou Yi took the big bow and weighed it a few times, then put it on the ground, stepped on the bottom of the bow with his foot, and slammed it hard, screaming violently, and pulling the bowstring like a full moon.
But due to excessive force, there was a "click" and the bowstring was pulled off.
"It's really a miracle."
Including Li Longji, all the civil and military forces present changed color in shock, and were impressed by Hou Yi's strength.
Only Qin Hui secretly sneered: "It seems that this guy's brain is better than Li Yuanba's, and he can't do anything, since he doesn't have a ten-stone bow, you can use this five-stone one to make do with it first, and it was torn off, it seems that his brain is missing a string."
Just when everyone was impressed by Hou Yi's divine power, a white horse galloped from the east, and immediately carried a girl wearing a white long dress, Zhong Lingyuxiu, bright eyes and bright teeth, like a moth eyebrows, skin is better than snow, and her face is shocking, as if she is a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
"Brother Yi, why don't you tell me if you want to go to the Central Plains" The woman in white not only looks shocking, but even her voice is crisp and tactful, like a heavenly sound.
Hou Yi hadn't spoken yet, but Li Longji next to him had already closed his mouth in surprise, staring at the girl in white with a pair of eyes, as if his soul had been hooked away.
Seeing the girl in white chasing after her, Hou Yi sighed: "Chang'e, please forgive me, I don't say goodbye because I'm afraid that you will be sad, I went to the Central Plains this time to find Xue Rengui, Huang Zhong, Yang Guerrilla, Tai Shici and others, to prove that my archery skills are the best in the world" "Master Li Li, who is this woman" Li Longji barely came back to his senses, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he forced himself to calm down and asked Li Hongzhang.
Li Hongzhang replied: "Back to the prince's words, this woman is the fiancée of Si Yi Zhuangshi.
The surname is Ji, the name is Chang'e, and he is eighteen years old.
I was going to get married to Si Yi at the end of the month, but for the sake of my Datang Sheji, I had to postpone the marriage."
Li Longji exclaimed in his heart: "This woman should only be in heaven, why is it degraded to mortal dust If you can kiss Fangze, the emperor will not change it, and there will be no regrets when she dies." t1706231537:
