The cold wind howled!
The icy, damp sea breeze swept across everyone's cheeks!
The New Year had only just passed!
Li Shimin, who had long been unable to wait any longer, personally selected thirty thousand well-trained naval troops from Liao Prefecture, along with quite a few military generals and civil officials from the court!
Together with over a hundred Tang Dynasty treasure ships, every one of them loaded with cannons, they set forth in grand force toward Japan!
Qing Mo had previously said that maritime monsoons were frequent here during summer and autumn, and that only spring and winter were more suitable for fighting across the sea!
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's public explanation for this expedition against Japan was that a naval soldier from Liao Prefecture had gone missing in Japan!
Even though they were separated by a vast sea!
If Qing Mo, the Imperial Preceptor, said a Tang Dynasty sailor had gone missing in Japan, then he had gone missing!
For this reason, the Tang Dynasty Emperor, ever concerned for his soldiers, was personally leading an expedition across the sea solely to find that missing naval soldier. There was absolutely no other intention behind it!
Bleurgh...!
Just as Qing Mo, Li Shimin, and several military generals and civil officials stood on the deck of the largest ship, gazing out over the boundless ocean while the sea wind howled past their ears!
A general with an extremely ghastly complexion was currently clinging miserably to the side of the ship, his head hanging overboard as he vomited without end!
This man was Yuchi Gong, who had fallen into the throes of seasickness!
"Hahahaha!"
"Blackie, can you even handle this?!"
"Don't tell me that before we even reach Japan, you'll be so weak you can't even lift a blade?"
Seeing Yuchi Gong
