Chapter 65: Diverting Flights
"What? Abandoning the sea route? ”
At this time, Tang Yinzhong and Bao'er, who were gathered in Tang Yin's brown room, were both confused after hearing the instructions sent by the imperial court, and Tang Yinzhong jumped up directly from his seat and shouted loudly.
"Big brother, are you sure that the instructions above are so? You read that right? ”
Tang Yinzhong got up and looked at Tang Yinbrown with an unbelievable look.
On the side, Tang Yinbrown had already received the news on the deck before, and the previous anger and resentment in his chest were pressed in his heart, and his face was completely inconspicuous at this time, and when he saw Tang Yinzhong's expression, he simply handed him the parchment in his hand.
Tang Yinzhong took the parchment and unfolded it, hurriedly glanced at the contents on it, his face was already bruised, his chest rose and fell violently, and finally crumpled the parchment into a ball and threw it on the ground in hatred, shouting loudly: "I'll write to my father now." Such bastard instructions must be reasoned with him. ”
"Ah Zhong!" Seeing Tang Yinzhong say that, he stepped forward in three or two steps and was about to push the door out, Tang Yinzhong stopped him in one gulp and said, "Your father may be able to settle other things, but don't you look at who is on it?" That was King Xin's order. Can your father openly confront his boss for the displeasure of his two subordinates? Since he didn't send another message, he acquiesced to King Xin's instructions. Do you want to embarrass him when you go and reason with him now? ”
Although he had to admit that his eldest brother's words were not unreasonable, Tang Yinzhong really couldn't swallow this breath, and finally sat down on the chair, slammed his fist on the table, and gritted his teeth: "But, eldest brother, you obviously defeated the pirate ship, and we won such a big victory without a single soldier, and this sea route must be unstoppable in the future." The winds and waves in front of us have been overcome, and now when we are enjoying it, we want to stop and give up the sea route? I am not convinced ......"
"The letter also said that the sea is risky, this time it will be targeted by pirates, and I don't know what natural storm it will encounter next time......"
"It's all!" Halfway through Tang Yinhao's words, he was interrupted by Tang Yinzhong in a loud voice, "What storm?" What is the treacherous path? Captain Song has chosen the safest route, so we have been smooth sailing all the way, if there is any danger, it is coveted by these sinister villains. But big brother, since you can take down this ship of pirates in one fell swoop, other enemies will naturally not be a problem.
"I understand this truth, why are my father and King Xin confused and can't see through it?"
It's not that they can't see through it, but they're afraid that they see it too thoroughly and have other plans. It's just that he won't say it explicitly in the letter, and he doesn't bother to explain it to a subordinate like himself. Because what they want is just a pawn that blindly obeys and doesn't ask for reasons.
Tang Yinhan slandered in his heart, but he knew that it was impossible to really tell Bao'er and Ah Zhong such words, although these two people were bent on their own sake, but after all, they were not the same as their own positions: even if he now recognized Old Man Tang as his father-in-law and got the surname "Tang", after all, he was not as good as Tang Yinzhong's own flesh and blood, and he was always an outsider.
"Did the letter explain what we should do next?" At this time, Bao'er, who had been sitting silently on the side, asked.
Although he is as unhappy as Tang Yinzhong for his eldest brother, he is not as reckless as Tang Yinzhong after all, and since it is a foregone conclusion to give up the sea route at this time, he naturally has to think about what plan to change.
Seeing that the topic had finally turned to his original path, Tang Yinbrown threw a grateful smile at Bao'er, stood up, and came to a solid wood square table covered with a map. Bao'er and Ah Zhong also leaned over and stood on either side of Tang Yinbrown, while looking down at the map.
It is a panoramic picture of the two countries, the East and the West, like two crescents facing each other.
The two countries are connected at the end of the road. The northernmost mountain range, which stretches thousands of miles south from the territory of the west to the west, is the famous Dragon's Back Mountains, which are said to be the gathering place of the orcs. The Longji Mountain Range, which is located in the territory of Xiyou, divides Xiyou into two from the middle, the south is the land of Xiyou, and the north of Longji Mountain is a place where few humans dare to set foot - the golden forest.
The southernmost border between the two countries is Lixin City.
The strait in the middle of the two continents, like a round jasper, is called Jianhai, which is the sea area where the Fir has been wandering for so many days.
Originally, Tang Yin's plan was to start from the southernmost Lixin City, go all the way north, run through the entire Jianhai, and go directly to the towns on the northwest coast of Dongyuan, where they would log in, and then change to Dongyuan Kyoto by land.
Although the final destination is the Dongyuan mainland, because piracy has always been rampant along the coast of Dongyuan, and the weather in the middle of the sea is unpredictable and prone to storms, in fact, Song Luyao chose to follow the northward route along the coastal area of the west.
Judging from the sea situation for so many days, except for a wave of pirates who suddenly appeared for some reason and rushed over from the east across the entire Jianhai, this road can be regarded as an extremely safe route.
It's just that now that the imperial court has ordered to abandon this road, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only order the land route.
"According to Captain Song's previous statement, we should be in this area now." Tang Yinbrown said, pointing to a sea area less than 100 miles away from the central part of Xiyou, "If you want to abandon the ship and log in, you can only choose the coastal land of the western generation." ”
"West?!" Tang Yinzhong was so shocked that his eyes burst out when he heard this, "Isn't that the territory of Xiyou?" ”
"Yes." Tang Yinbrown replied calmly beyond doubt.
"But it took so much effort for us to escape from Siyu. Now you can't jump into that fire pit again? Besides, we carry a treasure ...... Treasure chest, go back like this, isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Before Tang Yinzhong could withdraw from his previous anger, he fell into endless worry and panic again.
It's not that he's greedy for life and afraid of death, but if he really meets Xiyou's gang, it's a big deal to work hard. But if you accidentally lose the baby again, it will really be an empty bamboo basket, and all the hard work of the brothers before will be in vain.
"We ...... Can't you go all the way east, cross the Jianhai Sea, and land from Dongyuan? Tang Yinzhong cautiously reminded.
"No," Tang Yin replied without raising his head, "Not to mention that pirates are rampant along the coast of Dongyuan, it is too risky for us to go." And what is the difference between really taking this road and us insisting on taking the sea route? Don't you understand what King Xin means by 'immediately' abandoning the sea route? This is a hint that it is necessary to land from the west as quickly as possible. ”
