The gentle sea breeze blew against his face with a hint of saltiness. A young man stood on a reef, his eyes filled with confusion. Even though the weather was already slightly wet and cold by the sea, the young man still did not care.
This was because everything that was happening before his eyes was too shocking. At this moment, he did not even know what words to use to describe everything that was happening before his eyes.
Originally, he was still sleeping soundly on the high-speed rail, but when he woke up, the world had changed, and so had he.
This was not China from 2018, but the Tang Empire from more than 1,000 years ago. He was no longer the half-otaku from before, but the grandson of the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan.
Alright, although he was not the eldest grandson of the emperor, he was at least the grandson of the emperor. This was definitely enough to make him ecstatic.
However, the problem lay in the identity of this imperial grandson. His father was Li Jiancheng, and that was right, Li Jiancheng. He was Li Chengdao, Li Jiancheng's second son.
And the key was that they were on this timeline.
The Shenyao Grand Sage, Emperor Guangxiao's ninth year of Wude, 626 AD. Even if he was a little bit of a historical novice, he would still know what year this was.
Not to mention, the memories of his predecessor clearly told him all this.
Just a month ago, Li Shimin, his second uncle, Li Er, who later became the first emperor in history, had initiated the Black Tortoise Sect Rebellion. He had killed his father, Li Jiancheng, and his third uncle, Li Yuanji. He had successfully become the official heir to the throne of the Great Tang, and it was obvious that he was already preparing to ascend the throne.
Although history had taken an incredible turn, he, Li Jiancheng's fifth son, should have died in the Black Tortoise Gate incident. However, something unexpected had happened. Not only did he survive, but he also could not escape to River East. He also had thousands of subordinates, all of whom were Crown Prince Li Jiancheng's confidants and subordinates.
However, such a situation was almost equivalent to hell for him.
Against the one emperor of all time, against the Great Tang that had been completely unified, even if he had tens of thousands of soldiers, he would not be able to stop his second uncle, let alone a few thousand.
Perhaps the other party's title of 'one emperor in a thousand years' was a little exaggerated, but there was no doubt that this person was definitely one of the more outstanding emperors since ancient times. As for him, he was just an otaku.
Whether it was the right time, the right place, or the right person, it was not in him. How could he stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
More importantly, it would be extremely difficult for him to survive, let alone take back the throne.
Although there was a deviation in history, the situation was still going on. In fact, there were already a few armies surrounding River East. If nothing went wrong, there were already countless generals who wanted to take his head.
All the heroes who had made their mark in history seemed to have become his enemies at this moment.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and even that War God Li Jing might be one of them.
Although Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, the true number one experts of the Great Tang, were not present, this situation was still unsolvable and hellish.
Perhaps given time, he could slowly rise up. However, this world could not give it to him. That ruthless second uncle would not let him, Li Jiancheng's only son, off either. If he did not die, the other party would never be able to live in peace.
Even though the other party was already preparing to ascend the throne, they still sent a mighty army to encircle and suppress a small shrimp like him. At this moment, it was really difficult to survive.
"Your Highness, the beach is humid. Let's go inside!”
Beside the reef, a general spoke with a hint of bitterness as he looked at the somewhat bleak figure in the cold wind. As the last auxiliary minister of the Crown Prince, he still valued the Crown Prince's last son very much.
However, in this situation, he did not know where the road ahead was.
The entire world had been occupied by that person. Where could this Crown Prince's only son go? His loyalty was still there, but despair could not be avoided.
This wasn't just him, but everyone who had gathered because of Li Chengdao had also gradually become like this.
Especially now that Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde's armies were about to surround them, the entire team of several thousand people was already in a state of panic, and some even began to flee.
Loyalty might be the norm in this world, but the threat of death could sometimes overcome everything.
"General Feng, is the ship I ordered ready?”
Li Chengdao's absent-mindedness gradually subsided when he heard the voice beside his ear. He turned his gaze to the burly man in front of him and asked with a cautious expression.
That's right, he was being cautious. To him, this was already his last hope. He did not want to take the throne, but only wanted to live on. After all, he had already transmigrated after the Black Tortoise Sect, and it was also the beginning of the army's encirclement.
Facing such a situation, going out to sea became his only choice. It was also a necessary choice. Whether he wanted to make a comeback in the future or simply survive, he had to go out to sea. After all, when he transmigrated, everything had become a foregone conclusion. Facing the mighty army, he could not stop it with his current strength. Not to mention that he did not have a cheat, even if he did, he could not stop it.
The world didn't give him the time to do so, nor did it give him so much preparation.
"It's almost ready, but the materials still need some time to be gathered. It should be almost ready by tomorrow morning!”
Feng Li replied. After hearing Li Chengdao's words, he immediately replied. In a few days 'time, it was not too difficult for him to mobilize large ships since he controlled the entire coastal area.
