Han Du was sitting leisurely in the study, drinking tea, with his legs on the desk, swaying very leisurely.
A servant hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, I have an urgent letter from the Duke!"
Han Du suddenly pulled his legs back and sat up straight. He asked in disbelief, "Whose letter is this?"
"It's a letter from Duke Xin. The messenger said it's extremely urgent and must be delivered to the court judge immediately." The servant replied quickly.
Tang Ding’s letter is still extremely urgent??
This immediately made Han Du worried. Tang Ding went to Nanyang to quell the rebellion. Could something have happened?
But this is impossible. How is it possible that the entire naval force of more than 100,000 people cannot defeat even a small Korisha?
But how many natives did Lisha have? At most, there were only a dozen or two hundred thousand.
With Tang Ding in command, can we still be unable to pacify the situation?
Unless, the whole of Nanyang turns against you!
"Where is the person who sent the message?" Han Du asked quickly.
"Just outside the academy."
"Let him in!"
"yes."
The servant quickly went out and brought in the messenger.
The moment Han Du saw this man, he recognized him as a navy soldier. The posture of navy soldiers was completely different from that of ordinary people. They traveled on the sea all year round and had to face wind and waves all the time, so they developed the habit of knowing
Stand with your legs slightly bent at the knees.
However, seeing that the soldiers were full of energy, their clothes were not damaged, and they did not look like they were injured, Han Du was a little strange and asked, "What happened? Haven't you pacified Kerisha yet?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, laughed quickly and explained
"Of course Kolisha was pacified. As soon as the general arrived at Kolisha, he ordered thousands of artillery fire to be fired. In less than a day, all the native rebels were defeated."
Hearing the soldiers' words, Han Du frowned even deeper. Now that the rebels have been defeated, what other urgent matters are there?
"Then why did Tang Ding send you back in such a hurry?"
The soldier quickly took out the wooden box from his body and handed it over to Han Du.
"The commander-in-chief asked the young one to bring a letter to the father-in-law."
letter?
Han Du glanced at the wooden box and was very surprised by Tang Ding's behavior. That's great, what kind of letter are you writing to yourself? And even if you want to write a letter to yourself, there's no need to rush it, right?
With a puzzled expression, Han Du saw the wooden box and opened it. At a glance, he saw a letter inside, with the words "Han Du personally expresses it" written by Tang Ding himself.
Picking up the envelope in confusion, Han Du suddenly discovered that there was another letter underneath the letter.
Moreover, the words "Xinguo Gongqin" on the envelope and Yu Qian's familiar handwriting made Han Du tremble in his heart.
As if expecting something, Han Du did not pick up Yu Qian's letter, but opened Tang Ding's letter first.
"Brother Han"
Tang Ding first briefly explained to Han Du the situation of the navy's expedition, so that Han Du did not have to worry.
Then the conversation changed, and in a very regretful tone, he explained in detail to Han Du one by one how Yu Qian hid it from his eyes, how he confused everyone, and how he took the merchant ship away.
Han Du's face instantly turned livid. After reading Tang Ding's letter, he immediately put it aside and picked up Yu Qian's letter to read.
When Han Du saw that Yu Qian planned to go eastward from Nanyang, across the continent and directly across the sea to the Americas,
His face was as pale as white paper.
Even the hand holding the letter couldn't help but tremble, and I couldn't help but slowly sit on the chair.
Han Du had walked through this waterway once, but that was the only time in his life.
After walking through this waterway, Han Du made up his mind never to walk again in his life.
And when teaching Yu Qian, he reminded him more than once not to take this channel.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qian chose this channel!
Han Du thought that Yu Qian had always been obedient. Since he had reminded him many times, he did not dare to take this channel.
This is why when Zhu Zhanji left, Han Du was on guard and kept a close eye on Yu Qian. But when Yu Qian was going to Nanyang, Han Du was very relieved to let him go.
"I got it, please step back first." Han Du waved his hands weakly towards the two of them.
After the two of them left, Han Du suddenly grabbed the skirt of his chest, with an extremely uncomfortable expression on his face.
Han Du knows better than anyone how dangerous that waterway is. A narrow escape from death is not an adjective, but a true portrayal.
"Yu Qian, Yu Qian"
Han Du was heartbroken. He had never been so sad even when his daughter got married.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanji only came to the capital once and took Yu Qian's soul away.
In order to secretly go to America, he even played tricks on himself.
If Yu Qian hadn't reacted at all when Zhu Zhanji left, let alone sent Zhu Zhanji off, Han Du wouldn't have taken it for granted that Yu Qian wasn't interested in Zhu Zhanji.
He would not be so careless and let Yu Qian go to Nanyang.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Fang Xiaoru walked to the door and saw Han Du sitting on the chair in despair, and asked involuntarily.
Han Du looked up at him and asked feebly, "Why are you here?"
"Just now the servant came to report that something happened to you, so I came to take a look." As he said this, Fang Xiaoru sat down on the chair.
"I'm so sad to see you. No matter what happens to you after all these years of knowing you, you always look calm and relaxed. This is the first time I've seen you like this!"
Fang Xiaoru's expression became serious, and he came closer and asked, "What happened?"
Han Du sighed feebly and muttered to himself, "Yu Qian went to America."
"I thought it was a big deal. He just went to America, and it's not like he never came back." Fang Xiaoru said nonchalantly, shrugging with a relaxed expression.
"But, he took the waterway from the South China Sea to America." Han Du said every word carefully, as if every word was said through gritted teeth.
"Why did he go there?" Fang Xiaoru was leaning lazily on his chair, but after hearing Han Du's words, he immediately sat upright.
"I remember you said that if you take that channel, you will have a narrow escape from death!"
The bitter smile on Han Du's face became even thicker after hearing this, and he sighed and said, "What a narrow escape from death is actually ten deaths and no life at all! The reason why I was able to come back alive was entirely because I was lucky and encountered a storm. It happened that the storm turned the ship towards the American land again.
Blow it over."
"If it hadn't been for that storm, do you think I would have come back alive?"
"And now that Yu Qian and the others are taking that channel, can they encounter such a storm? Even if they encounter it, the storm will blow them towards the Americas instead of blowing them into the deep sea?"
