The morale of the victorious battalion of Imulan was greatly boosted and there was a chorus of joy.

Since it was the royal ship that sank the Cangwu Kingdom, Wen Lan was naturally very settled in her heart, and that night she ordered all the tribes of the three clans to kill pigs and sheep, set up a wine feast, and celebrate for three days in a row.

In addition to the soldiers of various ministries, in Wen Lan's heart, he was especially worried about rewarding an indispensable hero------ Lu Qiusheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

However, unfortunately, although Lu Qiusheng was at the Binzhou Shipyard not far from Daying, he suddenly fell ill. The soldiers sent by Wen Lan to invite Lu Qiusheng to the banquet replied that they had been supervising the construction of the new serpentine ship day and night a few days ago, and they fell ill all of a sudden after suffering from exhaustion. Fortunately, there was no major problem, and I recovered after a few days of rest.

Wen Lan thought about it, and felt that this Lu Qiusheng was indeed a hard worker this time, since he needed to recuperate, then let him go, so he didn't care, just let the soldiers send some things over with good food and drink, and attached a few words of praise and comfort, and left it behind.

Wen Lan was in a good mood and opened the feast, gentle but not relaxed.

He thought that the three days of the army must be the most slack, and he must be on guard.

Speaking of the most important things in Imulan today, in addition to food and grass, it is the newly built serpentine ships.

Ships are no different from others, they are all floating on the water and moored on the shore, and once the soldiers of all the troops gather for a feast, the defense on the water is bound to be empty. Gentle is a careful character, and seeing that there are few guards on the water, he summoned Lin Tongsheng to advise him, and let him lie down close for the past few days, secretly guarding the serpentine ship.

Lin Tongsheng didn't say anything, nodded and was about to go to the bank of the river, but was gently called back.

"Lao Lin, there's something I've thought about...... Wen Wen seemed to hesitate a little to say it, "The gold that Robier saved for you earlier is your hard-earned money over the years. Although he died first after a short life, the gold is still yours. But...... This gold is buried in the capital, and you are afraid that it will not be easy to use. ”

Lin Tongsheng didn't know what Wen Wen wanted to say, so he quietly listened to him continue.

"When we left Nanhua Island, you ambushed those explosives with your own hands, and covered all the gold ingots buried under Wen's house. Since you alone know about this, it is better to pass on most of the gold to me. What about you, when you want to use gold, how about taking out a similar amount of gold from the Wen Mansion on Nanhua Island? ”

Lin Tongsheng was a little surprised, although the gold hidden by Luo Bu under the Golden Dao Piluo Palace was far away in the Northern Desert and was indeed inconvenient to access, at least it was Imuran's territory, and Nanhua Island was still under the control of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Palace. Such a replacement is like a mirror, which makes people feel very unsure.

Wen Wen naturally expected that Lin Tongsheng would have doubts, and explained: "Old Lin, don't think about it too much, I just want to do this to make it more convenient." Now that Cangwu has become a fish and meat, the blue sea has also been occupied by us as the capital of Taiye, and it is just a blink of an eye that a small Nanhua Island is in the bag. ”

"Then dare to ask when the Great Witch God plans to take back Nanhua Island?"

"This ......" Wen Wen was asked for a moment, "After all, the Hanjiang War has just been won, and we have not yet entered the realm of Cangwu. After capturing the Wanhua Imperial Capital, the Great Witch God will inevitably want to go back and sweep away the remnants of the Blue Sea, and at that time, Nanhua Island should be ......."

Lin Tongsheng suddenly interrupted his gentle words and asked, "My old Lin wants to ask, is this exchange of gold your idea, or the idea of the Great Witch God?" ”

"This is ......" Wen Wen frowned and wanted to say it as tactfully as possible, but Lin Tongsheng's sharp eyes shot straight at him, making him very embarrassed.

Lin Tongsheng and Gentleness have been inseparable for more than ten years, and he knows everything about Gentleness's every move, word and deed.

"I see."

Lin Tongsheng no longer doubted that this must be Wen Lan's idea.

The cangwu has been broken, and soon this world will be in Wenlan's pocket. As the saying goes, the bird hides the bow, and the rabbit dies and the dog cooks. Once the blue sea is controlled by Wen Lan, then he will not be of much use.

Seeing his solemn face, Wen Wen wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere. It was indeed his brother's idea to replace the gold, and he didn't feel the need to do it, but his brother's insistence made him unable to resist. All he could do was reconcile them.

"Lao Lin, in fact, you and I both know that the country of Liuxia has become an ocean. In any case, it is impossible to restore the country, so why should you still want to forget it? Soon it will be a peaceful and prosperous age, and no matter where you want to live, the Great Witch God will be able to answer it. So far, you have been secretly helping me, and if you want to be promoted to a marquis in the future, as long as you speak, I believe that the Great Witch God will not fail to nod. Good fields and beautiful houses, wives and concubines, you can get what you want. ”

"But I have to break off the idea of returning to the country?" Lin Tongsheng asked coldly.

Wen Wen didn't admit it directly, only sighed and said: "Lao Lin, some things are destined by God, you Liuxia Kingdom doesn't even have an inch of land, how can you restore the country?" ”

"The country of Imuram will soon be able to own this world, can't we still divide such a small piece of land for my Liuxia people to survive! How hard is this for the Great Witch God? Lin Tongsheng was furious, this was the first time he had shown anger in front of Wen in so many years.

"It's not that you are reluctant to have a fief with you, if you just want land, even if it is to make you the lord of a state and several counties, what's the difficulty?" Wen Wen hurriedly defended, his eyes full of helplessness.

Lin Tongsheng suddenly understood.

The Great Witch God Wen Lan was not stingy or cared about the gold and land at all, he cared about his own territory to rebuild the Liuxia Kingdom.

Just like Ye Zhiqiu's dream of recovering the country, Wen Lan never thought that she would let Ye Zhiqiu reveal the words "Songyang Kingdom" under her nose from the beginning.

No matter how large the lord's territory is, he is only a vassal. No matter how small the territory of the restored country is, it is also a hidden danger for Wen Lan.

He finally understood the purpose of gentleness to call him today.

But if you can't keep the word Liuxia anymore, what is the purpose of your efforts so far? Where will the legacy of the lord and ancestors of the Luxia Kingdom be placed?

Lin Tongsheng's heart was like a knife, but he didn't want to be gentle to see the wavering in his heart. Although he was gentle, he was still trying to persuade him, even if he thought about it first, it didn't hurt if he didn't reply immediately.

"Okay, let me think about it." Lin Tongsheng nodded slightly, "The guard on the river bank is important, I'll go to the dock first." As he spoke, without waiting for a gentle answer, he disappeared into the vast night.

******

The camp of Imuran is not far from the bank of the river, just through a small wood.

After Lin Tongsheng talked with Wen Fangcai, the loneliness in his heart was surging like a tide, so he was not depressed.

In fact, Ye Zhiqiu's dream of recovering the country is like foam in Wen Lan's eyes, and this Lin Tongsheng is not difficult to understand. With Wen Lan's temperament, if he took the entire Cangwu Kingdom, how could he allow Ye Zhiqiu to carve out an independent territory on the side? However, the Liuxia Kingdom is different, and the territory across the sea is obviously not interested in Wen Lan at all, so Lin Tongsheng has always believed that Wen Lan will help him recapture the Liuxia Kingdom.

But the sinking of the Liuxia Kingdom to the bottom of the sea was so sudden that Lin Tongsheng couldn't even accuse Wen Lan of treachery.

The kingdom is gone, how can it be restored?

Lin Tongsheng felt a little in a trance, and his steps slowed down.

He even vaguely felt a soft white light appear in the dark woods in the distance.

The white light slowly danced in the air, with a faint hint of pale green......

Soon, two or three more of the same light were followed by the white light, and the leaping trajectory was like a butterfly, slowly drifting towards itself.

Lin Tongsheng calmed down and looked carefully, and sure enough, three or four white butterflies flew over from a distance, faintly with a hint of strange floral fragrance.

Lin Tongsheng immediately felt bad, hurriedly closed his breath, jumped his body, and jumped onto a big tree on the side.

This scent...... You can't be wrong, it's the ghost poison of the lily of the valley.

Lin Tongsheng twisted his sleeves a few times, fanned away the aroma in front of him, and then shouted: "Who? Come out! ”

At this time, a graceful figure appeared from the depths of the woods, although she couldn't see her face clearly for a while, she could see a paper lantern in her hand, which was depicted with the famous painting "Deer Drinking Stream under the Moon in Gaoquan", and the yellow candlelight reflected on a robe dressed in the brocade of the Western Array, illuminating the two colorful vibrating sleeves hanging down clearly.

Lin Tongsheng hadn't been in contact with the customs and things of the Liuxia Kingdom for a long time, and when he suddenly saw such a wonderful woman, his heart was shocked.

The woman lifted the lantern upwards, showing an incomparably beautiful face, and then bowed her head to Lin Tongsheng slightly, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, this ordinary poison is of no use to Lord Lin." ”

Lin Tongsheng saw the face of the person who came, and said with a sneer: "It turned out to be you." I said who has such a dexterous mind, cut the Biyan foil into the shape of a butterfly and hid the ghost poison on the foil. After all, she is a well-known talented woman in the capital, and she was also born in my Wuyin Sect, which is also very different from other sects. ”

Eagle Tail smiled: "Lord Lin has praised me falsely, I have been away from the master for a long time, if I don't spend some time thinking about new ways, I'm afraid that I can't be better than blue." ”

"Hehe, listen to your tone, is it better than blue now?"

"If you don't give it a try, how can you know?"

The eagle's tail opened her lips slightly, and gently blew it towards the candle in the lantern, and the forest was suddenly dark, except for the shadows of the trees, which were spotted by the moonlight on the ground.

Lin Tongsheng laughed: "In the night escape, you and I are the same. Besides, do you think that if you hide in the night, I will not be able to see you? ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his wrist, and two darts were already shooting towards a corner of the forest.

Lin Tongsheng listened carefully, and only heard two pops, one hit the blown lantern, and the other seemed to be nailed to a piece of wood.
