In the intense reconstruction of the kingdom, not only the commoners, but even His Majesty Sauron, who has become the king, also lived a very simple life, after the battle of the royal capital, although a lot of goods were harvested, and relying on several rounds of conquest of the local nobles, some materials were captured, but that only ensured the overall balance. Suran Island is small in size and has experienced orcs, monsters, and civil strife. It can be said that the operation of its own society has collapsed, and materials are also extremely scarce.

King Sauron had a storehouse of treasures, but he lacked food, clothing, and so on. And these can't be conjured up in a vacuum. Fortunately, there was a trench that contacted the merchants of Da Zhou, and they found a way to transport all kinds of materials and made a lot of money. After removing the cost and freight, it has reached a five-fold benefit.

Because of the material exchanges in the past year, Pearl Harbor has expanded rapidly, when Ji Ya came, Da Zhou's fleet had already arrived, and Ziyun came one step earlier, and was counting the newly arrived materials with Haole, he is now helping King Sauron train the army, the regular army has reached six thousand, the monsters have been cleared, and there is no need to leave a large number of garrisons in the south, so it has reduced a lot of trouble.

found the exchange of Haole, at this time he completed the original small goal, worth more than 10,000 taels, but he did not dress up like ordinary people, he is still a light rice and plain clothes, making money is a process for him, at first he may still be happy for the increase in wealth, but slowly it is a change in numbers, and he can't make any waves.

Seeing Ji Ya coming, he greeted him, "Senior sister, you're here." ”

Ji Ya nodded and responded: "Da Zhou's merchant ship has arrived? Who is here this time? Are the lacquer carving teacher and Miss Kou here?"

Hao Le said: "I just arrived, this time they didn't come, I heard that the current situation in Da Zhou is very bad, this time only Captain Li Yumei on the Sea Light, Adjutant Qu Zhengyin came over, Senior Brother Ziyun is in contact with them, and it will be ...... for a while. They're coming. ”

Just as he was saying that, Ziyun and Qu Zhengyin came, and Qu Zhengyin greeted first: "Miss Ji, little brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The three senior sisters and brothers immediately beckoned Qu Zhengyin to sit down, and then inquired about Lin Yue's situation, Qu Zhengyin said: "After I went back, I heard that Lin Junhou showed his skills on the battlefield of Shudi, and the generals under the Shu Hou did not dare to come forward. Later, the army of the Demon Master was raided and suffered heavy casualties. Lin Junhou also lost the news, some people said that he had left the battlefield, some people said that he was seriously injured, and some people said that the prince had ......"

Several people were silent, and Ziyun took the lead in speaking: "With Master's cultivation and ability, there will never be any problems. Maybe it's just an injury, but I've been recuperating for the past year. "It's a bit self-deceptive to say this, according to Lin Yue's conduct and methods, even if he is injured, he will never fail to notify Sanxiao.

Ji Ya asked again, "What's the situation in Da Zhou now?"

Qu Zhengyin said: "It's not good, it's like this......"

It turned out that after the last time Lin Yue participated in the war, the battlefield of Shu was already rotten, and when the Marquis of Shu was full of ambition to prepare for the eastward expedition, the Suzaku Dynasty, a newly established country in the south, invaded the Great Zhou Dynasty in the north, and declared war in the name of avenging the same clan, and defeated the old Ministry of the Song Marquis in just 20 days, and broke through the three prefectures of Ning, Jian, and Lu in Nanzhao County in one fell swoop, and the troops were on the south side of Shu.

On the one hand, Taishi Demon Yunhai denounced the invasion of the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, and on the other hand, he stepped up the contraction of the defense line, almost giving up the entire southwest, and let the alien races of the Marquis of Shu and the Vermilion Bird Dynasty fight high.

The other princes of the Great Zhou were also excited, and the Southern Barbarian alien race even dared to attack the Great Zhou, and they were preparing for a battle with the alien race. Of course, the slogans were loud and loud, but everyone was just silently developing their military strength, and no one really wanted to send troops to deal with these invaders.

And the Marquis of Shu also took the opportunity to write a letter, showing that he was only on the side of the Qing king, and in fact he was still the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and His Majesty's courtiers, how could he let the foreign tribes bully, hoping that the imperial court would send a large army to help recover the three states of Nanzhao, and also support some money and grain.

The court said, I believe in your evil, and when I fought against the army of the Demon Taishi, the army of Shu was not ambiguous at all, and now that the foreign tribes have attacked, they are selling miserably here?

However, the imperial court is not inactive, and the Demon Taishi guards all the main roads and does not allow the army of the Suzaku Dynasty to invade the Central Plains. In the southwest corner, no matter what happens in this rotten battle, the Central Plains is still peaceful on the surface.

In addition to the southwest, northwest and southeast, there were wars, and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty entered a short and strange period of peace, and the princes of all walks of life were also accumulating this strength. The Beijing side temporarily lifted the party ban on everyone's own danger, a large number of officials were dismissed, and some young Zhuang factions took office, among which there were many famous people with brains, ideals, and insight, and these people all came from an institution called Songming College, also known as the children of Songjuku. On the big stage of the capital, they slowly showed their demeanor.

On the other hand, after years of fierce battles in the imperial court, not only the treasury was greatly damaged, but even the army also lost a lot, the first prince Shu Marquis naturally needless to say, and the other big princes also slowly caught up, the next little princes, with 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, and the middle princes with 100,000 armor, these are still standing, and more can be mobilized in wartime. Two of them have stabilized the imperial court.

At this time, some of the children of Songjuku came up with an idea, that is, to divide the country.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the highest ruler was the king, and then the prince, the marquis, the uncle, the king, and the scholar were sent in turn.

From the king down is the duke, and the duke is divided into the state duke, the famous duke, and the lieduke. Guogong is the title of the royal family, and the king's brothers are named Guogong, such as Cai Guogong, Yue Guogong, etc., and then the name of the duke, that is, the single-word duke, which is the highest title of the foreign surname of the non-royal family, the generalissimo and the magic cloud sea who is also the national teacher, was named the North Duke, and finally the Duke of Lie, that is, the double word, like the Duke of Dingnan in Yuanzhou, the title of the Duke of Dingnan, this is the Duke of Lie.

Now that the power of the princes is growing, if you don't find some reason to consume them, I am afraid that it will threaten the royal power. Therefore, among the many princes, I found the two strongest ones, the north is the Marquis of Jin, and the south is Wei Gong Wendu, who was promoted to the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Wei respectively. They are appointed as the chiefs of the princes, and they can exercise the power of reward and punishment on behalf of the king, and they can even attack other princes without being a minister. In this way, the internal strife of the princes was completely provoked.

However, in this way, these two princes were even one level higher than the Northern Duke Demon Cloud Sea in name.

Jin and Shu are not far apart, and they have long coveted this fertile country of abundance, but they are nameless, and they are afraid of the military strength of Shu, coupled with the drought in the past two years, so they have been holding back. Here's your chance. Not only is the Vermilion Bird Dynasty chasing and fighting, but there are also Demon Taishi waiting for an opportunity to move, as long as they are used properly, Jin may be able to get a piece of the pie.

......

When it comes to high-level battles, Qu Zhengyin naturally doesn't understand, so he can only tell Sanxiao what he knows, and after listening to it, a few people didn't expect that the Great Zhou would become like this, and they were reduced to letting the foreign tribes occupy almost one county, and you must know that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was only divided into eighteen counties.

Regardless of the country, Lin Yue's disappearance affects Sanxiao, should he continue to stay and wait for Master? Or should he take the risk of going back to see what happened to Master? If it was just a false alarm, what if Master came back to find the three of them, and the three of them were not there?

Qu Zhengyin said: "I can't give you any ideas about this matter, but if you really want to go back to Da Zhou, it's best to decide quickly, this time the fleet will stay here for five days, and then I can send you back." ”

After sending Qu Zhengyin away, Sanxiao fell into a tangle, don't look at the five days It seems that there is a lot of time to think about it, but in fact, the only thing that can make a decision is today, Haole wants to summarize the commercial materials, and Ziyun also has to hand over the affairs in his hands, after all, their current identity involves many people, and they can't just leave.

Trench Le spoke first, "What should we do, should we go back and have a look?"

Ziyun was a little worried: "What if Master comes back?" Now that Sulan Island has been peaceful, although the reconstruction work is much more difficult, there is actually no risk, but Da Zhou is in a mess.

Ji Ya asked another question: "Do you think something will happen to Master?" Ziyun and Hao Le looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time, for Lin Yue's trust, the three disciples are all the same.

Ji Ya took a deep breath: "Let's go back." ”

Seeing the two of them looking at her, she said again: "No matter what happened to Master, he must be stumped up now, so he can't contact us, in this island country thousands of miles away, we have no news but to wait." When I go back, I can ask for news no matter what. Master is different from us, he can fly away, even if he can't find us when he comes back, there are other ways, but what about us? If you want to go back after this time, you have to wait another year. ”

Ziyun nodded: "Senior sister is right, Master's sword flight, it won't take a moment to go back and forth, even if we go back now, it will take half a year to arrive." ”

Hao Le also agreed: "Then let's go back!" The three of them discussed other details, and then went their separate ways to prepare to return to Da Zhou.

Ziyun and Ji Ya travel to the new royal capital, while Haole stays at Pearl Harbor to handle chores. After learning that Sanxiao was leaving, King Sauron certainly wanted to stay, but they seemed to have decided that they could only let Ziyun and Mia hand over the military power first.

Under the stars, looking at the quiet garden, King Sauron and Kiya stood on the balcony without speaking.

Unlike the two junior brothers, as a lone ranger, Ji Ya has nothing to hand over, and this time she came back just to say goodbye to a few acquaintances.

After a moment of silence, King Sauron spoke first and asked, "Can you not leave?" Do you know what I want for you......

Ji Ya shook her head: "I'm sorry, I'm leaving, I'...... Gotta go back. ”

King Sauron suddenly smiled: "I knew, I knew! I can't keep you here, I thought it would be a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

Ji Ya: "Yes, I've been out for too long, I should go back." ”

King Sauron: "In any case, you are the most important person around me, and I will not force you to do anything, but please remember that no matter what, Suran Island is your hometown, and there are people here who care about you." ”

Ji Ya nodded: "Thank you, I won't forget you." ”

After a short farewell, Ji Ya left, Mia took over Ziyun's work and came back to report, looking at King Sauron's lost face, she already understood what was happening, so she asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you keep it anymore?"

King Sauron smiled bitterly: "Actually, the result is already doomed, so why bother to be reluctant, leave a step away from each other, Mia, thank you for always being with me, the military power that Ziyun handed over to you is all my backing, please." This sentence shows that King Sauron gave his net worth and life to Mia.

Mia knew what it meant, and she vowed to spend her life protecting His Majesty Sauron, which was the oath of the military governor of the royal capital, and the insistence of the future queen of Suran Island.

The matter was over, and the three of them set foot on the Sea Light again, looking back, the little island country that was fighting for it turned out to be farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from sight, and finally, the three of them wanted to return to their hometown.

Goodbye, Suran Island.
