Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

The sky is clear and blue, the clear blue sky and the azure sea merge into one at the horizon, and the sea breeze, with the unique salty and humid scent of the sea, gently blows across your face.

On the sea, a large navy was lined up in neat formation, with extraordinary momentum.

The huge ships are like fortresses on the sea, with tall masts reaching into the sky and the fluttering Tang Dynasty flags flying freely in the strong sea breeze.

Li Ji stood on a high platform by the sea. The spectacular scene before him made his heart surge and he could hardly suppress his excitement.

His hands trembled unconsciously as he uttered three "good"s in a row. His voice was passionate and full of emotion, and it carried far and wide on the sea breeze: "Since Pangu created the world, through the ages, from ancient times to the present, when has there ever been such a mighty and majestic navy?"

Li Zhentao stood aside, his back straight. After hearing Li Ji's sigh, he quickly responded, "All of this is due to your Majesty's far-sightedness."

"Your Majesty is deeply concerned about the peace of the seas and borders, and has devoted himself to the long-term development of our dynasty. He has expended countless efforts to build the unrivaled navy we have today."

Li Ji nodded slightly and said with deep emotion, "Yes, looking back through history, only Your Majesty has the extraordinary courage to invest such a huge amount of manpower and material resources in the construction of the navy."

Li Zhentao raised his eyes and looked at Li Ji carefully. He saw that Li Ji looked haggard, with a look of deep fatigue on his face and bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that he was exhausted from the long journey.

So, he said with concern: "General Li, you have been traveling all the way, it must be very tiring."

"I will arrange a quiet place for you to stay so you can have a good rest and relax."

"If you have any requests from now on, no matter how big or small, whether they are trivial matters in life or other needs, please feel free to tell me. Don't worry, I will do my best to handle it for you."

Li Ji nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Governor. I'm really sorry to bother you with my visit."

Afterwards, Li Zhentao and Li Ji slowly left side by side. With their departure, the grand welcome ceremony slowly came to an end.

The navy received the order, the commander on the warship waved the flag in his hand, and the well-trained soldiers skillfully controlled the ship and sailed back to their original position in an orderly manner.

The warships drew graceful and smooth arcs on the sea, their bows split the waves, splashing white waves and leaving long tracks on the sea.

Wu Tianyan stood quietly at the back of the crowd, his eyes fixed on the departing backs of Li Ji and Li Zhentao.

His heart was like the turbulent sea, unable to calm down for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Lai Fu had been following Wu Tianyan the entire time. Seeing Wu Tianyan's pensive expression, he couldn't help but reach out and tug at his sleeve, calling softly, "Brother Ergou, everyone's gone. Let's go back too. Don't just stand there in a daze."

Wu Tianyan took a deep breath, nodded slowly, and replied: "Okay, let's go back." His voice was calm, but with a hint of melancholy.

Looking back, Wu Tianyan led a group of brothers known as "mud legs" and successfully landed in Japan.

With the help of Li Zhentao, the victory of this battle not only eliminated a major hidden danger for the country, but also made Wu Tianyan famous.

The imperial court rewarded him according to his merits. Not only did it grant him the official position he had always dreamed of, allowing him to embark on a career in politics and realize his ambitions, it also rewarded him with a three-story house located in the prosperous Mingzhou.

Above the gate of this house, there is an engraved vigorous and powerful word "勇".

Wu Tianyan returned home. As soon as he stepped through the door, his young son ran towards him, leaping for joy. He threw himself into his arms, shouting excitedly, "Daddy, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Wu Tianyan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile. He picked up his son steadily, feeling the vitality of the child, and the fatigue in his heart instantly dissipated a little.

He turned to look at his wife and asked softly, "How is Dad today? Is he feeling better?"

His wife nodded gently, but her face was filled with worry. She sighed slightly and said with a choked voice, "It's still the same. There's no improvement at all. The doctor said... I'm afraid I don't have much time left."

As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red and tears welled up in her eyes.

Hearing this, Wu Tianyan's heart sank suddenly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

He was silent for a long time, with mixed feelings in his heart. He gently put his son down and walked towards Wu Shuangquan's room with heavy steps.

Wu Shuangquan was lying quietly on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was half asleep, and he looked very weak.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was a little cloudy, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. But when he saw Wu Tianyan, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He called out weakly, "Yan... Yan'er, you're here!"

Wu Tianyan's eyes were hot and tears almost burst out. He walked quickly to the bed and sat down. He reached out and gently stroked Wu Shuangquan's wrinkled hand, saying softly, "Dad, don't talk. Rest well."

"Tomorrow I will ask the best doctor in the city to come and see you. They will definitely be able to cure you, and you will definitely get better."

Although he himself knew that Wu Shuangquan's condition might be beyond recovery, he was still unwilling to give up any hope.

Wu Shuangquan shook his head, his expression calm but with a hint of helplessness, and slowly said: "Yan'er, I know in my heart that this is the end of his life. The end is near, and medicine and medicine are no longer of any use."

"The only thing I'm worried about right now is you... What's going to happen to you, kid?"

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Tianyan, "Yan'er, help Dad up. Dad has something to tell you."

Wu Tianyan tried hard to hold back his tears, carefully helped Wu Shuangquan up, and placed a soft cushion behind him.

Looking at Wu Shuangquan's old and haggard face, my heart ached.

Although they are not related by blood, the affection between father and son has become extremely deep after years of living together day and night. This affection has been deeply rooted in his heart through the tempering of time.

Looking back on the past, if Wu Shuangquan had not given his all to help him, he would never have been able to lead that group of brothers to overcome all obstacles and reach Japan.

Wu Tianyan couldn't help but think that if he hadn't been there, Wu Shuangquan might still be the manager of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce. With his abilities, he might have been promoted and gone to work at the Xianyang headquarters, living a smooth life.

But now, he has ended up in such a situation because he was dismissed by the Chamber of Commerce.

He felt extremely guilty and thought that he was a burden to Wu Shuangquan.

Wu Shuangquan noticed that Wu Tianyan was lost in thought again. He took a deep breath, stretched out his bony hand, placed it on Wu Tianyan's, and said earnestly, "Yan'er, calm down."

“Throughout history, those who have accomplished great things have not been impatient.”

"Father knows you're no ordinary person. Think about Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang. At the age of 47, he was still watching dogs fight at the village entrance. Didn't he later achieve imperial power?"

"You are only thirty years old now, and you are a fifth-rank official in the court. You still have a long way to go. Don't be impatient."

"You need to calm down a bit with your temper."

"Don't always think about comparing yourself to those who became famous at a young age. Success comes early or late. When luck arrives, opportunities will naturally come."

"As long as you keep your feet on the ground and take one step at a time, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."
