There are many, many hazards of volcanoes, and when a volcanic eruption occurs, you should stay as far away as possible from the crater, hide as far as you can, and return to your home after the volcano is stable, only in this way can you avoid the damage caused by the volcanic eruption as much as possible.

Fortunately, the huge fleet led by Li An is far away from the crater, at least more than ten miles away, and the volcanic sputtering and lava cannot affect the Datang fleet, and the only thing that may affect the Datang fleet is the strong volcanic ash.

Volcanic ash and some toxic gases will drift far away, and the impact will be the greatest, but as long as the concentration is not very high, it will not cause much harm to people, and the Tang army fleet does not need to worry too much.

"Li Shilang, what should we do now, do we continue to visit the Heling Kingdom?"

One of the subordinates asked.

Li An nodded and said: "This is nature, the visit to the Heling Kingdom cannot be changed, and you can't let yourself retreat because of a small volcanic eruption, don't worry!" It's going to be fine. ”

Obviously, Li An will not give up visiting the Heling Kingdom, the eruption of the volcano is just around the corner, but the power does not seem to be very large, and the harm is naturally very small, as long as his subordinates are restrained, there will be no risk.

"Big brother, at the current speed, we will be able to reach the port near King Heling City in another hour, should we rest for a while."

Li Feiyu asked, obviously, it is not good for the Tang soldiers to land at the port at night, and it is more appropriate to land during the day.

Li An yawned and said softly: "Let all the fleets slow down, let the soldiers return to the cabin to rest, and send someone to inform the royal family of Heling, let them know about our arrival, and don't have a misunderstanding." ”

"Yes, Li Shilang."

The subordinates hurriedly went to arrange.

At this time, it was still night, if it weren't for the sudden volcanic eruption, most of the soldiers of the Tang Army would still be sleeping? Now they all ran to the deck to watch the excitement, this is not good, let the soldiers rest as soon as possible to replenish their strength.

After giving the order, Ang Lee admired the eruption for a while, and then returned to the cabin to rest, although there was still sound outside, but as the distance got farther and farther away, there was not much to hear.

Li An didn't know how much damage the volcanic eruption had caused to the people near the volcano, nor did he know the attitude of the local people towards the volcanic eruption, but these had nothing to do with him, as long as he established a good relationship with the Heling Kingdom.

The volcano is still erupting intermittently, lighting up the entire sky, and the stars in the sky are also flickering and darkening with the eruption, merging together to form a very beautiful picture.

A few hours later, the huge fleet led by Li An arrived at the port near the city of King Heling, and stopped, at this time, it was not far from dawn, as long as it was dawn, they could land and go ashore.

After learning that the Tang fleet was about to arrive, the royal family of the Heling Kingdom paid no less attention to it than the death of Sri Buddha, and reported it to the king in the shortest possible time.

The king of the Heling Kingdom had long known about the extermination of pirates by the Tang fleet in Malacca, and a few days ago he heard that the Tang fleet had arrived at Sri Buddha in the east, so when the news of the imminent arrival of the Tang fleet came from the port, the king of the Heling Kingdom was not too surprised, which was what he expected, and at the same time, it also made his heart fall to the ground.

They are also vassal states of the Tang Empire, if the envoys of the Tang Dynasty go to Sri Buddha and die and do not go to the Heling Kingdom, it is to look down on the Heling Kingdom, and the strength of the Heling Kingdom is stronger than that of Sri Buddha, so it is logical that the Tang fleet must come to visit.

The king of the Heling Kingdom was very worried that Li An would not come, if Li An really did not go, his face in the Nanyang area would suffer a great loss, so he would not know where to go, and he did not know how to maintain his regional prestige.

Now that the Tang Army fleet has finally arrived, one of his hanging hearts has finally landed.

Like the deceased king of Sri Buddha, the king of the kingdom of Heling also mobilized a large number of people and officials to go to the port to greet the high-ranking officials of the Tang army to show their importance to the Tang Empire.

After dawn, a large number of flags have been fluttered in the port of Heling Kingdom, which looks magnificent, but there are also many flags of the Tang Army's fleet, and the number of ships is very large, and the momentum is obviously overshadowing the pomp of Heling Kingdom.

The small Heling Kingdom naturally does not have the strength to show off with the Tang Dynasty, but they also took out their own things to watch the house, which is not rude.

"Ah Lang, do you still have breakfast?"

Yuna asked with a smile.

Li An touched Yun'er's pink little face, and whispered: "No need, Heling Kingdom must have prepared a sumptuous breakfast for us, and we will go ashore to eat theirs." ”

"Ah Lang is really picky, and he wants to take advantage of these small countries."

The beauty said with a smile while dressing Ang Lee.

Li An touched the beauty and whispered: "This is not called picking, this is called saving, you don't have to eat breakfast, I will go to the palace of Heling Kingdom and eat him well." ”

"Ah Lang, the last time you went to Sri Buddha to pass away, you brought them a big gift, but this time you came to the Heling Kingdom, did you bring a big gift! If it is not generously courteous, the king of the Heling Kingdom may be unhappy. ”

Yuna reminded in a whisper.

Li An smiled: "You mean favoritism, and you have to remind you that a promise from your Ah Lang is the best gift." ”

In fact, it's not that Li An is unwilling to give a big gift, but because the location of the Heling Kingdom is even more remote than the death of Sri Buddha, this time the Tang fleet has been in the vicinity of the Strait of Malacca within two months, and has not learned too much about the situation of the Heling Kingdom, let alone the specific location of the pirates of the Heling Kingdom, even if you want to copy a gift that is the same as the death of Sri Buddha, it is impossible.

However, Li An's huge fleet has already arrived in the Heling Kingdom, as long as the Heling Kingdom asks for it, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses can cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the Heling Kingdom at any time to clean up the surrounding pirates, which is not much different from giving gifts in advance, and such a large empire as the Tang Dynasty will not deceive a small country like the Heling Kingdom.

After everything was ready, Li An took the main officials under his command to board the port of the Heling Kingdom and met the king of the Heling Kingdom with a vicissitudes of life.

This king looks older, and seems to be a little vicissitudes, I don't know if there are too many things to worry about, in short, he looks much more haggard than the deceased king of Sri Buddha.

"Dear friend of the Tang Dynasty, you are finally here, Xiao Wang has been waiting for many days."

The king of the Heling Kingdom bowed respectfully and saluted.

Li An smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the King knows that this official is coming, it's amazing!" Haven't you eaten breakfast yet! Go to your palace and eat! ”

If you want to get closer, you must appear intimate, and Ang Lee should ask for it directly as if he were in his own home.

"Okay, okay, Li Shilang, please get in the car."

The king said politely.

"Okay."

Ang Lee felt that this king was too old, and it was estimated that he was past the age of showmanship, so there was no need to sell Datang's cars in front of him, and besides, Datang's entire car system had not yet radiated to the Nanyang area.

"Your Royal Highness, if you have anything to worry about, you might as well say it, maybe this official can help you."

Ang Lee asked with a smile.

The king of the Heling Kingdom, the old face squeezed out a chrysanthemum, and sighed: "Let Li Shilang laugh, my Heling Kingdom has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters in the past few years, and Xiao Wang is also anxious!" ”

After speaking, he hung his head like a frosted eggplant, but in front of the guests, he was not too sad, and from time to time he had to squeeze out a smile to show his strength and hospitality.

"The natural disaster official knows something, the volcano in the west of your country erupted last night, I don't know how many casualties there are?"

Ang Lee asked in a low voice.

"The volcano erupted again, what happened last night? Oh, Xiao Wang hasn't been debriefed yet. ”

The king of the Heling Kingdom had a bitter face, the old problem had not been solved, and the new problem had appeared, which made him very annoyed.

When a disaster occurs in the country, as the king, he must send personnel and materials to rescue the affected area, and this will inevitably consume national strength, with the current national strength of the Heling country, it is still capable of dealing with such a disaster, but there are other threats to deal with, so it is not in the interests of the king to lose strength in disaster relief, but as a king, he can't help but ask the people affected by the disaster, it is really a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, urgent report."

An officer handed in an urgent report.

The king glanced at Li An apologetically, opened it for a moment, and nodded: "Li Shilang, the urgent report of the volcanic eruption came last night, thousands of casualties among the people, nearly 10,000 people fled their homes, houses and crops suffered great losses, and a lot of aid is urgently needed. ”

"Do you need my help?"

Ang Lee said.

The king shook his head and said: "It's just a disaster, Xiao Wang is fully capable of dealing with it, and there is no need to bother Li Shilang, but at the moment, the biggest disaster in my Heling Kingdom is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!" If man-made disasters are not eliminated, the country will not be at peace, and the people will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"It turns out that His Royal Highness is worried about man-made disasters, not natural disasters, and it seems that the problem of man-made disasters in your country is even more serious! Let's talk about it! What are the circumstances, maybe this official can help. ”

Ang Lee asked with a smile.

The king of the Heling Kingdom opened his mouth to introduce the basic situation of the Heling Kingdom and the root cause of man-made disasters.

It turned out that the man-made disaster of the Heling Kingdom was caused by the problem of royal succession, and when the king was young, he fought with his brother for the right to inherit the throne, and won the victory and successfully became a prince.

But his brother felt that he was even better, but he lost to his brother, and he was very unconvinced, so he conspired with his henchmen to try to stage a coup d'état in the palace, killing his brother and father, so that he could successfully ascend to the throne.

Fortunately, the current king is also a wise man, he has long been aware of his brother's conspiracy, and he is fully prepared, and finally thwarted the coup d'état, kept his position, and soon ascended the throne and took over the country.

The new king thought that his brother had jumped off a cliff and died, but his brother was not killed, but was rescued by the remnants of his defeated army, and hid in the sparsely populated mountains, where they hid for more than twenty years, conspired for more than twenty years, and suddenly attacked a few years ago, ready to avenge the hatred of the year.

The king's younger brother was not stupid, he had been plotting for more than twenty years, and naturally he launched a coup d'état after he was very well prepared, and it can be said that he was determined to succeed.

It's just that the king kept a hand and deployed more than 100 seemingly ordinary, but actually very powerful guards around him, some of these people are palace maids, some are cupboards, and some are craftsmen.

It was these hidden guards who saved the king and thwarted the king's brother's seemingly perfect fatal blow.

The king's counterattack was swift, and he immediately mobilized all the troops and horses he could muster, began to put down the rebellion, and it took several years to generally stabilize the situation.

However, in the twenty years of the plot, the king's younger brother has gathered and developed a lot of forces, which are already more than half of the king's strength, so the counterinsurgency is extremely difficult, and the two-year counterinsurgency has consumed a lot of the national strength of the Heling Kingdom, so that the royal family has to reduce expenditures to reduce the consumption of national strength.

In addition, the power of the king's younger brother has not been eliminated, and in order to resist his brother, the king's younger brother frantically contacted all the thieves and pirates in the Heling Kingdom, and cooperated with these bad guys, making some people in the Heling Kingdom miserable, and also making the king of the Heling Kingdom anxious.

The reason why the rebels could not be eliminated was naturally because after the rebels and pirates and other evil forces combined, their strength became a lot stronger, and they occupied a favorable terrain, so that the attacking king's army had no choice but to engage in long-term confrontation and tug-of-war, thus depleting each other's strength and dragging down the entire country.

Because of the remote location, there is not much communication with the Tang Dynasty, so the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty do not know about the Heling Kingdom, and those who know this country do not understand the specific situation of the country, and even the imperial court does not know much about the internal strife in Heling, let alone have the energy to care about the affairs here.

Now that Li An has led the fleet to arrive here, there is no need to intervene in the internal affairs of other countries, but the king's younger brother is mad and actually colludes with pirates and other evil forces, so the nature has changed, Li An wants to fight pirates, and pirates and rebels have collusion, so Li An has enough reason to send Tang soldiers and horses to attack the rebels of the Heling Kingdom, and for the current equipment of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, fighting the rebels is as simple as playing a game.

After listening to the narration of the king of the Heling Kingdom, Li An did not immediately express his attitude, because there are many things, and he must send someone to investigate among the people, after all, there is a saying that if you listen to it, you will believe it in the dark, what if the king lies? Who knows if the king's younger brother really colluded with the pirates, and if he made a mistake and wronged others, it would seriously damage the international credibility of the Tang Empire.

The palace soon arrived, compared with the death of Sri Buddha, the scale of the royal palace of the kingdom of Ha Ling appeared larger, but the interior furnishings were not as new and gorgeous as the palace of Sri Buddha, it looked a little dilapidated, and there were not many people in the palace, which gave people a feeling of desertion.
