Under the shade of the trees next to the official road, more than a dozen men in brocade clothes were leaning or sitting boredly, leaning against the big trees to take advantage of the coolness, and letting the horses leisurely gnaw on the tender grass on the grass.

Only the young man with a resolute face at the head was staring at the end of the official road with blazing eyes, as if he was waiting for someone to appear.

A fast horse suddenly galloped from the official road like a whirlwind, and began to wave from a distance.

The resolute-faced young man flashed a hint of joy, and shouted in a deep voice: "Cheer up, they should have arrived!" ”

"Yes!" More than a dozen subordinates led the horses one after another, and quickly formed a neat formation on the side of the official road, and at a glance they knew that it was a long-trained elite.

"How? Is it the people we were waiting for? Before the knight could jump off his horse, the young man impatiently grabbed the horse's head and said, "Say it quickly! ”

"Guardian Order!" The knight hurriedly dismounted and said, "My subordinates saw that the sand was flying in the distance, and the dust was all over the sky, and there were at least thousands of cavalry. Come to think of it, it's definitely the one we're waiting for! ”

"You boy! I didn't see it clearly! The young man was a little disappointed, and muttered, "However, your guess is not unreasonable, this is the way he must go, and there are thousands of cavalry...... Eighty percent is right! Hey? What is that? ”

He suddenly raised his head, looked at a small black dot in the sky that was constantly circling, and finally showed a smile on his lips: "It's really him!" Great, it's not in vain that we've been waiting here for three days! ”

He turned around and yelled, "The boys are all standing! Greet General Ying Yang Zhonglang with this general, and lead Bohai Taishou Southern Eagle General! ”

"No!" Hearing the name of Nanying, more than half of the fifteen subordinates showed reverence and responded excitedly. But there were still a few people who were a little stunned, and one of them whispered: "We are the guards of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's own honor, to welcome a Taishou?" Is there something wrong with that? ”

"Ignorance!" The young man reprimanded unceremoniously: "I think you boys have just recently joined the ranks of the Beigong guards, and they will not be punished!" Next time you dare to be disrespectful to General Nan, I will directly play tomorrow and remove you! ”

"Son of Heaven? Expel? A few stunned young men shrank their necks in fright, and then looked at the expressions of the old guards beside them, and didn't dare to say more than half a word, and stood up straight one by one.

As he spoke, there was a thunderous rumbling sound in the distance, and a large area of yellow dust covered the sky and rushed over. Soon, a large dark cloud appeared in the yellow dust, which was countless cavalry dressed in black iron armor.

For a moment, the official road was filled with an iron luster, almost reflecting half of the sky into a terrible darkness, but the next moment, the reflection of the dense blades immediately turned the darkness into an even brighter day.

When the guards saw this momentum, their mouths were dry and their faces were pale.

Only the young man at the head was even more excited, he slowly stepped into the middle of the road, looked at the cavalry brigade in front of him that was gradually slowing down, and suddenly shouted with all his might: "The last general Beigong guards order He Zhen, welcome the general!" ”

The cavalry parted like waves, flashing out of a path.

A young man in black clothes and black armor galloped out of the brigade and laughed, "It turned out to be you kid! Good! The general also congratulated General He on his promotion to the Guardian Order! ”

"General!" He Zhen couldn't help himself to lean down, and several of the fifteen guards were also old brothers who were born and died together in Yiyang back then, and they all ran behind He Zhen and saluted together.

"It's all my own brothers! Do what? Nanying turned over and dismounted, pulling several old brothers up together. Looking at the unpretentious cordiality on their faces, there was also a stir in their hearts, and they once again remembered a group of brothers from the Hidden Dragon Base back then.

"Whole army! Take a break! There was a loud sound of orders from the cavalry brigade, and Gao Shun and Jia Xu also rode over to meet them.

"I really envy these brothers!" He Zhen looked at Gao Feng, Ma Jun and other generals who were directing the cavalry to gather in formation in the distance, and his eyes were full of eagerness: "It's really fast to be able to follow the general and gallop the world!" ”

"You kid be careful, when this word reaches the ears of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid that it will exempt you from the guard order!" Nan Ying blurted out and said, "Besides, you are the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, how dare the general use you?" ”

"Actually, you know the general!" He Zhen smiled and said: "The last general is often duplicitous to those ministers on weekdays, and only what he says is the truth!" ”

"You kid...... Didn't you stop here today to be courteous? Nan Ying smiled and lowered his voice: "Say it! What will the Son of Heaven give? ”

"General, please! General Gao and Mr. Jia, please also move! He Zhen made a gesture of please, and the four of them walked away.

"The Son of Heaven ......" He Zhen saw that Gao and Jia were about to bow down as soon as their faces were pale, and stretched out his hand to stop him: "The Son of Heaven explains, please don't be polite......

He pouted behind him: "The last general is here under the guise of conveying the military orders of the Great General's Mansion, if it is too solemn, a few of those boys are not very reliable, maybe they will want to rap everywhere!" ”

"What?" Nanying's gloomy gaze glanced at the guards in the distance: "Has the Son of Heaven reached the point where there is no one around him?" ”

"Not really!" He Zhen smiled bitterly: "Be careful, there is no big mistake! ”

"Got it!" Nanying took a deep breath and said, "Say it! What's so important? ”

"In five days, a group of craftsmen with a number of about five hundred will arrive in Bohai, please settle them properly!" He Zhen took half a step forward and said in a low voice: "These people are all secretly mobilized by the Son of Heaven, please use them in a good way!" ”

"Craftsman? What craftsman? Nan Ying, Gao Shun, and Jia Xu exchanged a surprised look: "What does the Son of Heaven want me to do with these craftsmen?" ”

"Ship a ship!" He Zhen's voice was lower: "These people are all excellent shipwrights in coastal counties, and the Son of Heaven asked the general to supervise the construction of a building ship in Bohai, so that he can go to sea to find immortals in the future!" ”

"Go to sea to find immortals?" Nan Ying almost didn't laugh out loud: "Does the Son of Heaven also want to learn from the First Emperor to go overseas to the Immortal Mountain to search for the elixir of immortality?" ”

"This ...... I don't know! He Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "I just heard from the Son of Heaven that in the future, an important member of the clan will be sent to accompany the general to the sea to find the immortal trace!" ”

"Clan dignitaries? It's a spy general! Nanying was a little displeased and said: "Go back and tell the Son of Heaven, if you can't trust me, find someone else to do this errand as soon as possible!" I'm not waiting yet! ”

"General, general, don't be angry!" He Zhen's face turned pale all of a sudden: "The Son of Heaven can not trust anyone in the world, how can he not believe you?" The last general dared to guess that His Majesty must have another deep meaning, right? ”

Seeing that Nanying crooked his mouth and did not say anything, he said: "The Son of Heaven is worried that the military will not be enough, and he has specially mobilized a large amount of money and grain from the West Garden, and it will be secretly transported to the Bohai Sea in a few days......

"The last general heard," he licked his lips and said with a smile on his face, "all this money was saved from the money for the reconstruction of the Garter Temple!" What a blessing from God! ”

"Cut!" Nanying said disdainfully: "Is it so rare? There is a good saying, so that the emperor is not a hungry soldier, and he will be well deserved! ”

Hearing such disrespectful words, He Zhen's face was like a blank piece of paper, and he didn't dare to speak.

He stood there for a long time before he suddenly woke up and said, "Ah! By the way, the Son of Heaven also brought a thing to the general at the end of the day, and ordered that it must be handed over to you by his own hands! ”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his arms, put his hands into Nanying's hands, and said: "The task of the last general has been reached, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. ”

"Brother Nan, you are really ......" Gao Shun looked at He Zhen's back as he slipped away, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are not happy that the Son of Heaven is blocking the road halfway, and you don't have to make a face at He Zhen**?" ”

But seeing that Nan Ying was looking down at the open box in his hand in a daze, Gao Shun leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but shake slightly.

In that box, it was the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven that was lost in the Hall of Virtue.

"Son of Heaven......" Jia Xu sighed: "It's really love and righteousness!" Lord, you originally wanted to secretly build a warship to fulfill your ambition of crossing the seven seas. For example, today's son not only allocated money and food, but also had this piece of the Son of Heaven's imperial decree as a talisman! It can be said that it is both public and private, and the name is justified, so why don't you do it? ”

Seeing that Nanying was still bowing his head and silent, he patted him on the shoulder considerately, and quietly left with Gao Shun.

"What do you mean...... Want to emulate Qin Shi Huang? Nan Ying held the cold jade plate tightly in his palm, and felt a pain in his heart: "Or have you already felt that you will die soon?" ”

Just when Nanying was at a loss, hundreds of miles away in Bohai County, near the sea, a major event was quietly happening in Yangxin County, which was near the sea.

In the midst of the blue waves crashing on the shore, one after another flat-bottomed sand boats rushed onto the shallows, and countless sword-wielding men with fierce expressions jumped into the sea without a sound, wading through the sea water and touching the shore.

A pair of white soles that did not look like they had been eroded by the wind and the sea stepped on the warm silver sand, and the young man looked down at the sand on his feet, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The feeling of going ashore...... It's also very good! ”

"Chief!" A dark-faced man stepped forward and said, "Fifteen hundred brothers have all landed on the shore, and all of them have been discovered within a radius of several miles, and there is no trace of anyone!" ”

"It's a good place!" The young man smiled lightly, revealing a sunny smile: "You can still do it in broad daylight...... Very good! Reward the brother who explores the way with a drink! ”

"Map!" He waved his hand lazily, and four or five leaders immediately gathered over, and a white silk with a simple map was also spread out on the sand stall: "Where is the nearest foothold?" ”

"Here!" One of the leaders pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "The nearest target is a hundred miles inland, and we can only walk day and night!" ”

"Yes! Cheer up the brethren! The young man held his chin and thought for a while: "Tell them that what we are doing this time is not a one-shot deal, if you want to really have no worries about food and clothing, you must be prepared to work land for a long time!" ”

"Rest assured, Chief!" A leader said proudly: "With our strong men and horses, we will definitely be able to turn the clouds in the Bohai Sea, not to mention those heroic and powerful clans who only know how to bully the weak and fear the hard, they are regular county soldiers, and their subordinates can also kill them without returning!" ”

"Hey, hey! It's crazy! Although it is very right for Ben Shuai's way, Ben Shuai still wants to persuade you! The young man's face suddenly turned pale and said, "Put away the arrogance of your former Han naval army, we are now just pirates, and we are the public enemy of everyone!" Once you lose the sobriety of advancing and retreating, you can only be encircled, only to end up with hatred! ”

"What's more!" A cold light flashed in his narrowed eyes: "Our enemies are not only those Han soldiers and heroes!" Don't forget, we're grabbing food on someone else's land right now... That Guancheng, will he be so cheap to us? ”

"That's just a thief!" A leader said disdainfully: "My subordinates also led troops to encircle and suppress him that day, afraid that he will not succeed?" ”

"You also said that you surrounded and suppressed him back then... So how is he still alive and well? The young man's finger poked at the forehead of the speaking leader: "He has not only lived to this day, but is still growing stronger, and he must be extraordinary!" Can you kid grow a brain? ”

"Yes!" The leader's face was a little red, and he said embarrassedly: "It's his subordinates who underestimate the enemy!" ”

"That's it! Take advantage of the rare opportunity and set off immediately! The young man waved his hand and said: "The whole army detachment, look at each other, enter the nearby mountains and forests as soon as possible, and hide your whereabouts with the help of the terrain!" ”

"Yes!"

"Haha! Bohai, I'm coming! The young man straightened up from the beach and stretched out his arms into the distance: "This handsome man walks the way for heaven, robs the rich and helps the poor, and vows not to return if he does not achieve his goal!" ”
