Chapter 333: Reunion in the Moon!
Although the ship that the crane was riding on was claimed to be a trading ship, it was more than a passenger ship.
Because it traveled back and forth between the Empire and the Third Colony all year round, it usually transported valuable goods such as silk, tea, spices, etc.
It also has an important use, which is to transport people.
The Empire's officials in the Third Colony totaled more than 1,000 people, and there were tens of thousands of troops stationed all year round, so the two places traveled very intensively, and the comfort of the ships was also very high.
At this time, the crane in the clouds was traveling, and the dragon flag of the new Great Yan Empire was already hanging on this ship.
And he also has a special office, a special room, a special reception room.
The ship is 15,000 tons, has 12 boilers, and is capable of reaching a top speed of nearly 38 kilometers per hour.
And it's already energized when you put it on, so it looks brightly lit.
It's not the largest ship in the Empire, but it's the most ornate, and it's the latest to be remodeled.
I hope that the samurai of the Order Society will be touched when they see this ship.
The crane in the clouds came to the deck and looked ahead.
It had been nearly five years since he came to the New Great Yan Empire, and this was the first time he had left.
When he left, Ji Qing finally put down the busy work in his hand and asked him: Are you still coming back?
Look at what this said, what do you mean by not coming back?
He really can't bear to have two daughters, the baby who is about to be one year old is so cute, not to mention two identical babies.
For a year or so, although Yun Zhonghe is busy with work and sometimes goes out, most of the time is in the ruling palace, and even if he is busy, he will accompany the baby to play for an hour or two every day.
So in the minds of the two babies, he is already a very, very close person.
This time, I left secretly while the baby was asleep.
A bright moon hangs in the sky, and it looks especially large when viewed from the sea.
Ji Zhan said: "I hope everything can be both, and I hope that Your Majesty can finally reunite as a family." ”
Yun Zhonghe said: "I also hope that Lord Ji Zhan can reunite with his family." ”
Ji Zhandao is humane: "After passing this **, I hope that regarding the bloodline of the Great Xian Demon Country, the empire can improve the legislation." ”
He didn't say this thoroughly, because the laws of the New Great Yan Empire were very simple and direct before, and anyone with the bloodline of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom was not allowed to enter, and even if they came, they would be imprisoned for life.
Although Jing Zhongyue is the wife of the crane in the clouds, and she has the blood of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, this law still cannot be directly overturned. Because once it is overthrown, the people of the bloodline of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom will enter the empire in the future and be promoted to a high position, wouldn't it be dangerous.
But now Jing Zhongyue has invaded the Third Colony with a powerful martial arts legion, so it is the New Great Yan Empire that takes the initiative to sue for peace, so it should take the initiative to change this law.
....................................
The crane in the clouds was heartbroken, so the speed of the ship was very fast, sailing about 1,500 miles in a day, passing through the first colony and the second colony along the way.
At present, the two colonies are also facing great enemies, and the empire itself has sent tens of thousands of troops to settle in.
And there were far fewer ships at sea, and from time to time there were Imperial warships patrolling back and forth, apparently to guard against the invasion of Jing Zhongyue.
Along the way, all the people who saw the ship of the crane in the clouds honked their horns to salute.
Every warship saw it, and they all stepped forward to escort it for 200 miles before leaving.
When there were still three thousand miles to go from the Third Colony, there were no ships of the Empire, not even cargo ships or warships.
The cargo ship of the crane in the clouds has become a lonely ship, and there is almost no army on board.
In the air, there is a giant airship, constantly monitoring the nearby sea.
Suddenly......
A screeching siren came from the airship, followed by a steady descent of the airship.
"Your Majesty, an enemy ship has been spotted two hundred miles ahead, and I beg you to board the airship immediately. The observer said.
Because the airship can fly very high, it is safe, and the range is enough to return to the Empire, even if the gas is insufficient, it can go to the first and second colonies to replenish it.
The crane in the clouds boarded a small airship on the large ship and took off.
The weather was good, the visibility was very far, and when the small airship reached high altitude, the fleet more than a hundred miles away could see it clearly.
Seeing this fleet, the crane in the clouds couldn't help but be stunned.
First of all, this fleet has sails, but they are very fast, obviously not only sail-powered, but probably steam-powered.
Because in the process of fighting against the New Great Yan Empire, the Order Society also learned about the steam engine.
And their ships are also ironarmoured, at least wrapped in a layer of ironarmor.
Secondly, their ships are very, very weird.
It's just not like a normal ship, with a black dragon carved on the bow and a fire-breathing one.
And the hull itself is like a dragon.
This...... This visual impact is very amazing, but it doesn't conform to the flow dynamics, and the load capacity is not high, right?
But I have to say, it looks really mysterious, powerful, and majestic.
A dozen or so ships rushed over, and each battleship was covered with the banner of a black dragon spewing green fire.
Almost an hour later!
This gorgeous big ship of the crane in the clouds was surrounded, surrounded by these dozen black dragon ships.
Thousands of warriors, hundreds of powerful crossbows, aimed at the crane in the clouds.
The crane in the clouds was not on the airship, but returned to the deck of the big ship.
"Who is the crane in the clouds?"
The crane in the clouds came out and said, "I am the crane in the clouds." ”
A samurai leader on the other side came out, making Yun Zhonghe secretly frown in his heart.
This does not bode well.
First of all, the samurai on these black dragon ships were all very tall, each of them was nearly two meters or so, and they were very majestic.
Each of them was shrouded in black armor, revealing only two eyes.
And the color of the pupils of the eyes is a bit strange.
It's hard for normal people to be so tall and so majestic.
They are somewhat similar to the samurai of the Great Salt Demon Kingdom, but they are not the same.
"You want to negotiate with our queen?" said the samurai leader.
Queen?!
Inakatsuki is a queen again?
This, it's really awesome.
The crane in the cloud said: "Yes!"
The samurai leader said, "You come alone, you don't need anyone to accompany you, and you take our ship." ”
Ji Zhan's eyes trembled, from the bottom of his heart, of course, he didn't want Yun Zhonghe to go to the Third Colony to negotiate with Jing Zhongyue.
But the crane in the clouds has already decided.
"Good!" said the crane in the clouds.
In the next second, the black-armored warrior threw a rope over and hooked directly on the big ship of the crane in the clouds, and then his body slammed into it, like a flying harrier, and directly pounced on the big ship of the crane in the clouds and appeared beside him.
This picture shocked the crane in the clouds and everyone around him.
Ji Zhan instinctively held his sword.
This...... This person's martial arts are too high, such a distance, he leaned on a rope and pounced on it?
It's horrible.
What does this mean? In the event of a naval battle, once the Black Dragon Battleship gets close to the Imperial warship, it can climb onto the ship even if it is far away.
Once you are climbed onto the ship and fought in a white-handed battle, the guns of the Empire are useless even if they are awesome.
The opponent's martial arts are much stronger than expected.
For thousands of years, the Order Society, which split and went into exile, focused all its skill points on the martial arts, which is of course amazing.
Then, the samurai leader grabbed the crane in the clouds, kicked it violently, grabbed the rope, and leaped back to his black dragon battleship.
The whole process really has a feeling of soaring clouds.
It had been many years, and the crane in the clouds had once again come into contact with the powerful martial arts.
After coming to the New Great Yan Empire, everything was linked to science, even martial arts were digitized and turned into strength and speed.
I have almost never seen internal martial arts, nor have I seen strange martial arts.
And now, I finally saw the mysterious martial arts.
"Take the crane in the cloud into the cabin, and don't leave a single step. The samurai leader said.
Suddenly, two tall black-armored warriors stepped forward and brought the crane into the cabin of the black dragon battleship.
The whole cabin is only less than two square meters, which is not luxurious at all, it looks very cramped, and it is cold.
"Bang!" the hatch shut.
The crane sat in it and entered the darkness where he could not see his fingers.
After a few moments, he felt the movement of the ship.
This black dragon fleet set sail again, and Ji Zhan's big ship followed closely, and the airships in the sky also followed closely.
More than a dozen black dragon warships surrounded the big ships of the empire front and rear, aiming at them all the time.
The ships of both sides continued to sail towards the Third Colony.
........................
Two and a half days later!
The fleet reached the Third Colony, the port of the Governor's Mansion of Hongyi Prefecture.
After two decades of expansion, this is already a huge port, densely packed with hundreds of ships.
Half of them were Black Dragon warships, the other half were Imperial cargo ships, and some were Imperial warships, many of which were damaged and destroyed, apparently after a naval battle.
The hatch was opened.
"Follow me!" said the samurai leader.
The crane in the cloud walked out of the cabin, came to the deck, and then crossed the pontoon bridge and stepped on the land of Hongyizhou.
This is the seat of the Third Colonial Governor's Palace, which does not look much different from the Imperial buildings, still magnificent stone buildings, and the entire city has a population of about two or three hundred thousand.
However, there are traces of the battle everywhere, blood everywhere.
When Ji Yan led his army to quell the rebellion, it was because the natives attacked the governor's palace and killed several imperial officials.
The situation is very bad.
The entire Hongyi City is full of black-armored warriors, followed by the indigenous army.
The city walls, the streets, are densely packed with troops, countless Hongyi army.
This group of Red Alien rebels had been defeated by the legions led by Ji Yan before, but after the Black Dragon Legion led by Inakatsuki invaded the Third Colony, they defeated the Ji Yan Legion, so these indigenous armies were loyal to her.
Yun Zhonghe made a simple estimate that in the entire Hongyi City, there were more than two or three hundred thousand troops, of course, most of them were indigenous troops.
Black dragon fire-spitting flags flutter everywhere here.
The gaze of every Hongyi soldier looking at the crane in the clouds was full of absolute hostility, full of murderous gaze.
This is different from within the empire, where the free slaves of the empire, even the low-level slaves, admire the empire.
After becoming the king of the empire, Yun Zhonghe still went to inspect the Yi village composed of free slaves, and each time he was almost frantically sought after.
Countless Yi people are really kneeling on the ground, and once you touch the corner of his clothes, you will cry with excitement.
The Yi people in the empire have not shown the slightest sign of rebellion at all.
And because of the preparation for the world war, the empire needs to recruit about a million servant troops, and the patriotic enthusiasm of these Yi people has reached the point of madness.
Countless young people of the Yi nationality are vying to be the first to join the army.
Of course, Yun Zhonghe knew that in the next few decades, the empire's Yi policy must be changed, otherwise the Yi people, who account for the vast majority, will still rebel.
However, after a few decades, the empire was more productive, enough to improve the treatment of the Yi people.
But in the Third Colony, the eyes of these Hongyi natives were filled with absolute ferocity and hostility, bitter hatred.
This hatred will take at least a few decades of domestication.
And these black dragon warriors, looking at the crane in the clouds, their eyes were full of infinite superiority and contempt.
That's right......
They despise the New Great Yan Empire, feeling that the empire is weak.
The reason is very simple, in this invasion, they defeated the Emperor's ** regiment, plus thousands of years ago, the exile of the Order Society was expelled, and there was a thousand years of resentment in their hearts.
Now that the New Great Yan Empire has finally been defeated, of course, you have to raise your eyebrows.
The conservative faction of the old Great Yan Empire exiled the new faction, and the new faction crossed the ocean to establish the New Great Flame Empire, despising and hostile to the old Great Flame Empire.
The New Great Yan Empire expelled and exiled the Order Society, which admired martial arts, split and went into exile, crossed the oceans, established a new kingdom, and then killed them back, despising and hostile to the New Great Yan Empire.
I really don't know if I should talk about reincarnation or creation.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
"Your Majesty......"
Suddenly, someone shouted a crane in the clouds.
The crane in the clouds went over, and he was a citizen of the New Great Yan Empire.
Some of them were family members of the Imperial Regiment, and some were family members of officials of the Imperial Governor's Office in the colony.
At this time, they were all reduced to slavery, with collars around their necks and shackles on their legs, and were working under the whips of the Hongyi natives.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Seeing the crane in the clouds, the native warrior deliberately threw his whip desperately and whipped the citizens of the empire.
These indigenous Hongyi people were slaves before, but now they have turned over and become masters.
Citizens of the empire were masters before, but now they are slaves.
"Hahaha......" The native warrior smiled smugly and cruelly at the crane, cracking his yellow teeth, spitting out filthy words, and shaking his body at the crane in a humiliating gesture.
The indigenous warriors of the Hongyi tribe around "Papapapa...... desperately whipped the citizens of the empire, desperately exerting their majesty in front of the cranes in the clouds.
The former slave, after turning over, was immediately fierce.
But these citizens of the empire ignored the whips on their bodies and knelt down on one knee towards the crane in the clouds.
"Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty!"
Countless citizens of the empire wept bitterly, and instead of calling for help, they looked at the crane in the clouds with gratitude and admiration.
The citizens of the empire have all read books and have a high vision, and of course they know what the purpose of the crane in the clouds is.
As the king of the empire, he actually came to the third colony alone and entered the enemy's Longtan tiger's den.
How great is this, and how righteous is that?
Of course, no one thought that the crane in the clouds was captured, because these Black Dragon Legions did not go to attack the Empire.
The crane in the clouds, with the dignity of a king, came to save them personally.
Therefore, these citizens of the empire must not cry out for help, and must not put pressure on the king.
The crane in the cloud stepped forward, came to a teenage girl, and pulled her up.
Her wrists were bleeding from the shackles.
Yun Zhonghe was very angry in his heart, what do you want to do in Jing Zhongyue?
It's just that you vent your anger on the citizens of the New Great Yan Empire, and it's just that you turn them into slaves, why don't you even let go of teenage children?
And also with collars and shackles?
Yun Zhonghe rubbed the little girl's head and showed a smile: "Child, hold on a little longer, don't be discouraged." ”
The little girl's eyes shone with dazzling light, unprecedented excitement and determination, and she trembled: "Your Majesty, my father is an official of the Third Colony, and I have taken a vacation to reunite with my father. When I return to the Empire, I must be admitted to the First Academy of the Empire, and in the future, I will definitely become your courtier, serve you and serve the Empire. ”
"Okay!" said the crane in the clouds, "What's your name?"
The little girl said, "My name is Xu Xinxin." ”
"Okay, I remember. Yun Zhonghe said: "After the big exam, I will check your scores." ”
And at this moment, the native warrior suddenly whipped over, directly on the back of the crane in the clouds, and it was hot.
In a flash!
All the citizens of the empire on the earth went mad and lunged at the native warrior, clawing with their hands and biting with their teeth.
In just half a minute, the native warrior who whipped the crane in the clouds was torn apart.
The people around were stunned for a moment, these imperial slaves were very docile before, and they didn't expect to suddenly become so cruel.
When the surrounding Hongyi natives saw this, they immediately rushed over, and the whip in their hands frantically whipped these imperial slaves, and even drew their knives to kill them wildly.
"Stop...... Yun Zhonghe said to the black dragon warrior beside him, "If they don't stop, I will kill the Hongyi people in the Third Colony in the future, and not a single one will be left." ”
The samurai leader of the Black Dragon Order Society sneered: "Only weak people like to intimidate, and you are such a person, weak and unbearable. ”
Then there was a delay of a few seconds, and when these slaves of the empire were beaten to the ground, the leader of the warriors of the Black Dragon Order Society raised his hands and said, "Stop." ”
Suddenly, these indigenous warriors stopped, and their eyes were full of smug and smirks as they looked at the crane in the clouds.
Yun Zhonghe calculated in his heart that he must carry out an unprecedented brutal suppression of the Third Colony next.
Be sure to make them fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Let's go!" said the leader of the Black Dragon Order Samurai.
The crane continued to walk forward, towards the Governor's Palace, which is now the residence of Jing Zhongyue.
Along the way, they met tens of thousands of slaves from the People's Empire, and after seeing the crane in the clouds, no matter what they were doing, they all knelt down neatly, no matter how the indigenous warriors behind them beat them.
........................
The Doge's Palace is a huge castle complex, immense, covering an area of several hundred acres, and is an impregnable military fortress.
And it is made of a kind of red stone, which looks majestic and gorgeous.
Now the banner of the Black Dragon Order is flying here, and there are black-armored warriors everywhere, and everyone's eyes are cold, and the gaze of the crane in the clouds is like a beast looking at a human.
Suddenly, the crane in the cloud became pessimistic about the black dragon order again.
After entering the castle, the crane entered a small room.
"You're waiting here. The samurai leader said.
"When will the Moon Queen see me?" asked the crane in the clouds.
The samurai leader said, "The queen is very busy, and when she is done, she will naturally come to see you." ”
Then, he walked straight out and closed the door, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.
It was a windowless room, and there were no candles, so it was pitch black.
Because the Third Colony has been at war all along, the lighting project has not spread here.
The crane in the clouds sat quietly and waited.
The whole castle seemed very oppressive, there was no music, no shouting.
Everything in the Order Black Dragon Society is black, even the eyes are dark.
It was worse than expected, and the crane in the cloud had to think.
Once the Black Dragon Order is unwilling to let go of the hatred in its heart, what should it do?
What if you really can't become an ally?
What if you become an enemy?
The crane in the clouds wants to judge, has this black dragon order slipped into an irretrievable dark abyss?
If it is, the crane in the clouds will not show mercy.
There is already a Great Salty Demon Country, and he will never allow the birth of a second Great Salty Demon Country.
Even if they were once members of the Order Society, even if they were allies in ancient times, he would not show mercy.
..............................
In this way, the crane in the clouds waited in a small room inside this huge castle.
No one came to deliver food, no one to bring tea, no one even spoke.
Waited for a day, two days.
Luckily, he's used to it, otherwise he'd be claustrophobic.
Is Jing Zhongyue in the Governor's Palace?
Why didn't you come to see him? What does that mean?
Another couple of hours passed!
Suddenly......
The door to the room opened.
A figure walked in.
First of all, there is a charming fragrance, familiar and strange.
There is also this figure, familiar and strange.
Familiar because the devil's body curve is a little familiar, strange because she has become taller, a full five inches taller.
Damn, how old are you?
What is going on?
Are you the moon in the well?
Yun Zhonghe asked, "The moon in the well?"
The other party said: "Crane in the clouds?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Then, the two fell into silence.
We hadn't seen each other for more than eleven years, and it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything but two eyes, turquoise eyes.
The crane in the cloud said: "Long time no see!"
Jing Zhongyue said: "Don't speak. ”
Then she began to undress her armor and undress herself.
This...... What are you going to do?
..............................
Note: The next watch will strive for three o'clock in the morning, and I will definitely finish writing and then sleep, and I don't set a goal, I'm afraid that I will drag it out until tomorrow morning.
Grace guys, don't you really have to open a single chapter to get a ticket, please everyone, give me a monthly pass, okay?
