    "Hmph, I am Li Min, the governor of Dengzhou. I am here with a large army today. If you fail to recruit the troops, you will bear the consequences!" Li Min shouted angrily, pointing fingers at each other. He acted so tough on purpose, just because they were sure that they would not dare.  Good at using weapons, after all, for Goguryeo, the behemoth Tang Dynasty was absolutely untouchable.

    Hearing that the young man on the other side turned out to be King Qi Li Min, both Yuan Jingwu and Yuan Jingwu were shocked. They looked at Li Min up and down in disbelief, and then they bowed and said: "I don't know that your highness, King Qi,  If you come here, you really deserve to die!"

    There is a reason why Yuan Jingwu and Li Min are so respectful.  At the end of the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains and gradually annexed Liaodong and other places. During the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo maintained its strong national power and did not even take the Sui Dynasty seriously. It stirred up trouble everywhere and even secretly contacted the Turks. This  This angered the Sui Dynasty and raised troops to attack Goguryeo several times. Especially when encountering Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he was attacked every time by overwhelming troops. Although they all ended in failure, they also reduced Goguryeo's national power and made it difficult for the people to survive.  , also defeated Goguryeo's courage, so now Goguryeo has always been very respectful to the Tang Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, for fear of causing the same disaster again.

    "Humph, I am here today to give you two choices. One is to respectfully hand over the person to me, and the other is that I will lead the army commander to go straight in and snatch the person back myself!" Li Min was not because of this.  The other party softened his attitude when he was respectful, but he was still as tough as before. He was now playing the role of a 250-year-old prince. The more arrogant and rude he acted, the more the other party took care of him.  After all, everyone is afraid that his brain will get hot and it will really cause a war between the two countries.

    Sure enough, Li Min's toughness made Yuan Jingwu sweat on his forehead. An Yiluo also looked nervous. His eyes glanced at Yuan Jingwu from time to time. The other party was presiding over the arrests, and he was not involved at all.  Even now he doesn't know who Yuan Jingwu wants to arrest?

    Under Li Min¡¯s threat, Yuan Jingwu¡¯s face became uncertain.  If this incident leads to a war between the two countries, even if they are protected by the Yuan family, they will definitely not be able to escape death.  But if he agrees to let him go.  Then it is very likely that the person will get away, and the huge secret will probably be spread. No one can predict what consequences it will have.

    "Your Highness, we have no ill intentions towards the businessmen of your country, but that prisoner is too important to us. As long as they can hand over that person, we will release him immediately!" Yuan Jingwu gritted his teeth,  Finally, he insisted.

    "Okay, okay! It seems that you don't take me, Datang, seriously." Li Min said bitterly, and then turned to Liu Ju again.  "General Liu, since they don't agree, we can only give orders on the battlefield!"

    Although Li Min spoke in a very firm tone, he looked at Liu Jushi.  But he blinked at the other party. The other party had a guilty conscience at the beginning. Although he was still insisting now, his heart had actually been shaken. Now he only needed this last blow.

    Liu Ju is also a shrewd man, and he looked at Li Min's eyes.  At that moment, he also said to An Yiluo with a murderous look on his face: "In this case, we can only meet with swords and return home!"

    After hearing Liu Ju¡¯s order, the soldiers on the chariot and boat immediately turned around and were about to leave.  An Yiluo had a cold sweat on his face and looked nervously at the Tang Dynasty navy opposite them. Not only did the opponent have more ships than them, but those ferocious tower ships were even more daunting. Although the Goguryeo navy used imitations of Datang tower ships.  , but their skills are not up to par, they are much smaller, and their quality is not as good as others. If there is a fight, they are definitely no match for Datang. In the end, they can only hide in the port and take advantage of the geographical advantage to compete with the opponent.

    "Your Highness, please stay!" At this critical moment, Yuan Jingwu finally did not dare to conflict with Datang, so he could only stop Li Min with a dejected look, "Let's make friends!"

    Hearing Yuan Jingwu's words, not only the nervous An Yiluo wiped his cold sweat with relief, but also Li Min and Liu Ju secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Min was not the 250-year-old Li You.  If a war breaks out between the two countries, even if Li Shimin protects him, it will definitely not be easy in the end. At least a reprimand will be indispensable, and even his position as the governor of Dengzhou may not be guaranteed.

    "Haha, those who know the current affairs are heroes" Li Min wanted to praise the other party, but he suddenly realized that he didn't even know the name of this fat and ugly guy, but he was thick-skinned, so he simply changed his words here.  Asked, "I wonder what I call this brother?"

    "Your Highness, the name of the junior minister is Yuan Jingwu, and my brother Yuan Gaisuwen holds the position of chief minister in our country!" Yuan Jingwu replied feebly. He was thinking about how to report to his brother when he returned.  He actually messed up something important. How would the other brothers who were jealous of him laugh at him?

    What is Da Dui Lu?Li Min didn't know at all, but when he heard that the other party was Yeon Gaesomun's younger brother, Li Ming was shocked. The Yeon Gaesomun in history was a great guy. Although he ruled the country with high pressure, his diplomacy  It was even more of a mess, but it was able to compete with the Tang Dynasty for decades with the power of a small country. It was not until after his death that the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the civil strife in Goguryeo to completely destroy this small country that had been established for hundreds of years.  Get rid of it.

    In fact, not only Li Min was surprised, but Liu Ju was also shocked. He knew the situation in Goguryeo better than anyone else, and he also knew the Yuan family very well. He cupped his fists and smiled: "I didn't expect it to be the famous Yuan brothers.  Disrespect, disrespect!"

    Li Min also woke up at this time and smiled at the other party: "It turns out to be Brother Yuan. Since this is a misunderstanding, then we will wait here for you to hand over the man. We will withdraw our troops as soon as the man arrives!"

    Yuan Jingwu and An Yiluo did not dare to delay, and hurriedly turned the bow. Li Min and the others also returned to the building. They waited for most of an hour. Just when Li Min was getting impatient, they saw the opponent's port.  A fleet of ships sailed out, but for some unknown reason, the ship sailed extremely slowly.  When he got closer, Li Min discovered that the ships in the entire fleet were like girls who had been ravaged. The hulls of each ship were covered with scars, and there were even many large holes that had been dug out by humans. Now only a few pieces were used.  The wooden planks were mended casually. If there is a little wind and waves, there will be another batch of sunken ships in the Bohai Bay.

    If only the appearance of these ships was miserable, that would be fine. But when Li Min saw the people on the ship clearly, he immediately felt a surge of anger. He saw that the crew members were all in ragged clothes and looked depressed, and many of them had expressions on their faces.  His body, arms and other places were all bandaged. From the blood oozing out from them, we could guess that the injuries he suffered must be serious.  As for the Smiling Tiger and the One-Eyed Shark, not only were they bandaged like mummies, they could not even stand firmly, with two people supporting them.  No wonder it took so long to come out. It was probably because Yuan Jingwu was afraid that Li Min would be angry when he saw these people's wounds, so he asked someone to bandage them for Husha and others.

    "Bastards!" Seeing the miserable appearance of Tiger Shark and the others, Li Min punched the side of the ship. He really wanted to order the army to rush over at all costs to let the other party know how powerful Datang was, but his reason told him that he couldn't do this.  impulse.

    "The common people pay homage to Your Highness, and thank Your Highness for the rescue!" Smiling Tiger and One-eyed Shark were pushed onto Liu Ju's boat. When they saw Li Min standing on the bow of the boat, they immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, with expressions of gratitude on their faces.  said.

    "Get up quickly. You are injured. Don't aggravate your injuries with these false gifts." Li Min hurriedly helped the two mummies up and comforted them a few more words. He was about to ask why they were arrested when he suddenly heard  Yan Bei next to him shouted: "Huh? What is that?"

    Li Min turned his head and saw that a water column several meters high appeared on the sea where the two naval forces were confronting each other.  When Liu Ju saw the water column, he immediately smiled and said: "Yan Changshi didn't know something, but it was a whale spouting water in the sea. Because this whale is huge and lives in the sea, the fishermen around it are called dragons, so it is also called a dragon."  Call this phenomenon 'dragon out of water'."

    While Liu Ju was explaining, the whale's back slowly surfaced, and it was more than two feet long. It was estimated that the whale underwater was at least four or five feet long.  However, after hearing Liu Ju's explanation, Li Min curled his lips. What does whale spout mean? It's obviously someone breathing, okay? It's really uneducated.

    Looking at the huge size of the whale, Yan Bei suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is a whale. I have only heard that there are whales in the sea, and they are several feet long. I didn't believe it at first, but today I saw it and it is indeed well-deserved."

    "Come here, aim the crossbow on the ship at the whale. I want to have a taste of whale meat today!" Seeing this whale that attracted the attention of the two naval forces, Li Min suddenly rolled his eyes and immediately gave instructions.  He said, he was worried about not being able to vent the anger in his stomach, but he didn't expect that an excellent punching bag would appear immediately, and shooting the whale in front of the Goguryeo people was also a good deterrent.

    "Your Highness, this whale is a sacred creature in the sea, it must not be shot!" Liu Ju was immediately frightened upon hearing Li Min's order and hurriedly persuaded him.  Fishermen call whales dragons, so they are naturally in awe of them. When they see them while fishing, they will immediately hide away, let alone go up to hunt them.

    "Godly object? That's even better. Come on, do it for me!" Li Min was even more happy when he saw that Liu Ju, who regarded human life as nothing, did not even dare to attack the whale. It seems that ancient people were very concerned about this  For such a huge animal, there is still great awe in my heart. If I can shoot it, the deterrence effect will be better. After all, in the eyes of the opponent, Datang dares to kill such a divine creature, so why not?  Is there anything they dare not do?

    But Li Min forgot that even Liu Ju, the general, did not dare to attack the whale, so the soldiers on the ship would beDo people dare to attack whales?  (To be continued
