Dongming Ziyu also had a serious face, "The person who is looking for Nanny Li is very secretive. She doesn't know anything. No useful clues have been found yet."

Shangguan Ruoli said coldly: "It seems that she either really doesn't know, or she just said it is scarier than death."

Dongming Ziyu analyzed: "Seeing her family members die in front of her one by one, she didn't say anything. She probably thought that they couldn't save their lives no matter what, so she risked her life to save the lives of her daughter and her family. But she

Ordinary women probably really don’t know.”

Mo Wen came in and reported: "The prince, princess, General Shangguan and King Jin sent several carriages and gifts!"

Shangguan Ruoli was overjoyed and said, "Hurry up and call someone over!"

"Already brought it!" Mo Wen, always very sensible, turned around and went out to ask the person who gave the gift to come in and answer.

The visitors were Si Xi, the eunuch beside King Jin, and Shangguan Tianxiao's personal servant. Both of them had grown taller and were tanned. Although they had lost a lot of weight, they were in good spirits.

"Greetings to King Xuan and Princess Xuan!" They knelt down to say hello.

Shangguan Ruoli asked anxiously: "How are General Shangguan and King Jin doing?"

Sixi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Princess, they are all fine!"

Dongming Ziyu asked: "Where are they now?"

Sixi replied: "The masters are at the dock now and have to sort out the goods."

The young man also said excitedly: "We are accompanied by missions, expeditions and caravans from eight countries. They are all different from us. They also brought a lot of goods, grains and seeds. They have to be arranged properly before they can enter Beijing.

.”

Si Xi said: "We are expected to arrive in Beijing in four days. Master asked us to send back the gifts for you and the Emperor first, and also ask the Emperor to make arrangements for receiving Western envoys, caravans and expeditions."

The emperor is in poor health and the other princes are incapable of success. The security and defense issues can only be left to Dongming Ziyu now. This is also to prepare him mentally.

Sure enough, a decree came from the palace and Xuan Dongming Ziyu entered the palace.

Shangguan Ruoli took two little buns to see the gifts, including ten carriages full of gifts, King Jin's six carriages, and Shangguan Tianxiao's four carriages.

There are a dazzling array of handicrafts, carpets, tapestries, glass products, silverware, oil paintings, clocks, leather goods, rubber products from various countries along the route...

Of course, there are also children's toys, which are very exquisite. Ling Yao's favorite is a music box with dancing dolls, and Jing Yu's favorite is a small bow and arrow, which is suitable for children of his age to learn archery.

Zhuyue opened a big box and said to Shangguan Ruoli: "Princess, what do you think this is?"

Shangguan Ruoli walked over and took a look, and found that there were glass syringes, surgical instruments, alcohol lamps, glass distillation equipment, Western medicine and some medical books.

She didn't expect that Western glass craftsmanship has developed so well. However, she is not worried that it will affect her glass workshop. How can the price of glass from overseas compare with local glass?

Shangguan Ruoli picked up a medical book and flipped through it. They were all in ancient English, Arabic, etc.

Putting the medical books back into the box, he said: "Keep one set of these glassware and send the rest to Bai Qingqing."

Some of the medical equipment in Bai Qingqing's space can finally pass Minglu.

Moreover, I just saw rubber products. If rubber technology is introduced, it will have a great impact on the lives of the people in Dongming. At least medical gloves, rubber hoses, rain boots, etc. can be made, as well as wheels!

Shangguan Ruoli watched them counting their belongings with a smile on his face.

The aristocratic families and caravans who went to sea also started to prepare the goods needed by the Western caravans, preparing to make a lot of money.

The emperor also took action, asking the imperial merchants to quickly prepare items for the Western caravan and prepare to fill his private treasury.

The current imperial merchant is the Feng family, and the Feng family also has a fleet accompanying them. They have already received specific information, so the preparations are naturally easy, but they have to give the emperor a commission.

The emperor knew that his body was at the end of his strength, and he was often worried that there was no suitable successor in the country, and he had high hopes for Prince Jin's return.

So, after a day of morning court, he took the sick body and all the officials to personally welcome King Jin back.

He stood on the city gate tower and looked into the distance. In the long morning light, Dongming Zijin, who had been tempered at sea for nearly three years, appeared on the official road with a mighty team.

When Dongming's flag appeared on the horizon, Emperor Dongming was shocked. What he saw was a team that was truly reborn after a bloody battle slowly walking towards him.

Prince Jin Dongming Zijin rode on his horse and looked at the approaching capital. He was particularly excited. His heart seemed to burst out of his chest. He didn't expect that he could come back after a narrow escape! This was all thanks to Shangguan Ruoli's thorough preparations, otherwise

He would have been buried in the belly of a fish long ago.

He was eager to return home, would she come to greet him? Wave after wave of palpitations arose in his heart.

When Emperor Dongming saw King Jin, he made a decision in his heart: This is the candidate for the crown prince.

I saw the golden sunshine shining on King Jin's tall and slender body, as if his whole body was glowing with dazzling light. His black hair and cloak were dancing wildly in the morning wind, and his handsome face was unparalleled, especially those pair of eyes that were so deep that it made people laugh.

The starry eyes that people can't see the edge at all have lost the childishness of the past. Now they are perseverance, wisdom, bravery and fearlessness.

King Jin is already seventeen years old, and after this year he will be eighteen. He is no longer the reckless, immature boy.

"Haha! Good! Good!" Emperor Dongming praised him repeatedly, feeling very happy.

Dongming Ziyu stood behind Emperor Dongming, his eyes flickering uncertainly, and he said calmly: "Lao Wu went out to experience this trip. It's like being reborn. He should be worthy of a big responsibility."

The emperor stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "Well, let's give him something to do first."

The other princes and officials accompanying him had different expressions, and they all understood that the emperor was interested in Prince Jin.

The attention of the people watching the excitement was on the foreign caravan behind the team. Those blond, blue-eyed, brown-haired, dark-skinned people with high brown noses looked like ghosts. It was so scary! So novel!

Shangguan Ruoli was sitting on the third floor of a teahouse facing the street with his two children in his arms, watching the excitement. He had a good view and could see the city gate.

Ling Yao held up the telescope, looked at the team slowly entering the city, and asked curiously: "Mother, concubine, why do those people look so strange?"

Jing Yu also held up the binoculars, "Yes, look at the one with yellow hair, his skin is really white. Look at the one with dark skin, like charcoal, it's so scary."

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "This is because of the different races. According to the color of the skin, the races are divided into four types: yellow, white, black and brown. We belong to the yellow race."

This time, all four races gathered together, which was unprecedented in Dongming.

"Oh~" Ling Yao nodded, "They are so ugly!"

The team walked slowly and passed the street below them. Jing Yu shouted to his father: "Father! Father!"

Dongming Ziyu looked up and saw his wife and children, smiled slightly, "You..."

"Boom!" His last words were drowned in the huge explosion.
