|||--Ah Long groaned for a while, and then came to a conclusion: "For today's plan, the most important thing for me in Xishu is to pay equal attention to the water and land armies. The navy has always been my Xishu military shortcomings, fortunately, Tiger is worthy of deep friendship, he is sincere to his friends, while commanding the Nanyu water division, while pointing out the country with me, exciting current affairs, let me benefit a lot. ”

In fact, for months, Aaron has been sparing no effort to help Tiger suppress bandits at sea. Now that things are finally coming to fruition, rampant pirates are moving south. Needless to say, the cooperation between Yu and Shu is a win-win situation.

Jin Suo praised in his heart: "It is rare that Tiger is young, Wentao is strategic, heroes are unmatched, elegant and ambitious, majestic and prestigious, good at wisdom and invincibility." Speaking of Nanyu, is there any other country in the world with such a huge lineup? The fleet is so powerful? It's really a storm! ”

Qiu Shan, who was listening attentively on the side, couldn't help but have his eyes shining: "Exactly." I have also watched the Shachen Sea, there are warships on it, how many thousands? Rows and rows, rows and columns, connecting the high sky and the blue sea below, are boundless, boundless, floating in the angry waves, haunting the waves. ”

Jin Suo thought it was: "His battleship, indifferent, vast." The morning sun is discolored, and the dome is lightless. Millions of soldiers, thousands of generals, well-dressed, sonorous swords, it is really a shame for heaven and earth. ”

Ah Long looked forward to the future and had a strategy: "At this good opportunity, it is just the right time to embrace all rivers and introduce the Nanyu warship, so that the future Xishu 'Celestial Empire port is as watery as the sky, and the wind will look at the Shu ship." The water and land transportation is smooth all over the world, and the rivers and mountains are connected in all directions. As long as we are strong enough, no matter how oppressed others are, Xishu is not afraid. ”

Qiu Shan thought it was: "Nanyu's navigation technology is really impressive. If we are fortunate enough to learn it, we must not only use it for the army, but also for the people. ”

Ah Long smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Shan, tell me how to use it for the people?" ”

Qiu Shan talked eloquently: "Nanyu's shipbuilding technology is famous all over the world and is famous in all directions. The production of ships is rich in styles and variety, civilian passenger ships are fast and convenient, cargo ships are plump, and military cruisers can be used to war. In particular, the ship's instrument, ship engine, sail rudder, a wide range of materials, solid wood, steel, leather, according to local conditions, and has achieved large-scale production. If I use Xishu as a reference, I can go up to South Tibet, send down Wu Yue, run through the East China Sea, and travel all over the South China Sea, the sea and land are unimpeded, and the big country has no borders. ”

Ah Long was very happy when he heard this: "Well said, we still have a long way to go." The so-called 'diagram is more difficult than easy, it is greater than its fineness; Difficult things in the world must be done easily; The big things in the world must be done in detail. 'We in Xishu must not copy and copy, we must be well-read and memorized, and become our own things, in order to be self-reliant and apply what we have learned. ”

When Jin Suo heard this, he suddenly felt that his mouth was open: "In the past, his subordinates were bent on strategizing and governing the country, but now they understand that developing the economy and strengthening their strength are the foundation of the country." ”

While speaking, Ah Long suddenly frowned: "It's just that the current negotiations between Yu and Shu are really in a dilemma, how to promote new progress?" ”

When Qiu Shan heard this, he said: "Qiu Shan doesn't know anything about governing the country, but fortunately, he has learned some business experience." According to Qiu Shan's view, the two countries are contending, and there are many people who are trying to do so, but they can't escape the word "profit". Since it was profitable, Nanyu was naturally willing to make friends with Xishu. My Xishu is rich in products and sparsely populated, if there are more 'Four Treasures of Xishu', no one cares, what is the benefit? Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen peripheral trade. Moreover, the Nanren also have many strengths, which are worth introducing. Yes, but there is a benefit, and diplomatic relations must be established with Nanyu. It is true that as the general said, a weak country has no diplomacy, and it is impossible for both sides to share their interests and interests. However, if we seek four, six, three or seven dividends, or it may be feasible, although we will suffer losses, the benefits are better than no profits. Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. Those who are content are rich, and those who win are strong. The opportunity to lose is full, and the profit is gradually gained. Today, we should only be blessed if we suffer losses. In other days, my Xishu will be self-reliant. At that time, we will turn the tables around and establish a new order. ”

Ah Long nodded again and again when he heard this: "Very good, I have a relationship in my heart." ”

After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "Everyone in the world is chasing the Tao, and I don't know what to see everywhere. It's rare that the hills and mountains are willing to pass a pass, and it's almost the same. ”

After a pause, he smiled slightly: "Nanyu, as a big country, takes advantage of everything, and we can't be willing to fall behind and blindly suffer." This time an agreement was reached, after the two of you returned to China, you must give Ming Jun, formulate a special study plan, send a group of capable people and sages to Nanyu to study, and strive to eat and squeeze Nanyu's excellent experience. ”

When Jin Suo and Qiu Shan heard this, they almost wanted to clap their hands.

As expected, within half a month, the exact news came that the Nanyu soldiers were bloodless and collected all the laurels.

Although Yu Jun did not come forward, although the negotiations between Yu and Shu were difficult, there was new progress.

On the negotiation field, it was in full swing.

Ah Long is reasonable: "Now Xishu has made the biggest concessions, opening up Sichuanzhou, Qizhou, Wuzhou, Qianzhou, Xiuzhou, and Yushu and Shu have each set five treaty ports. Foreign assignments are permitted, and free trade is permitted. The trade between the two countries at the treaty ports shall be divided into import and export taxes and fees. It's just that there are still differences in tax rates, Yushu is not equal, and the distribution of benefits is very different. ”

Taiyu must fight: "How can your Shu tea, Shu pottery, Shu wine, and Shu brocade in Xishu be the same as my Nanyu's pearls, tortoiseshells, stones, and inkstones?" ”

The two sides were still deadlocked, Ah Feng suddenly raised his head, and saw Qiu Shan at a glance, only to feel that he was heroic and sassy, with a majestic figure, but his expression was humble. Surprised, he asked, "Who is this?"

Qiu Shan intervened and saluted: "I am not talented, but I am a horseman under the dragon's account." ”

Ah Feng was shocked when he heard this: "Xishu is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, a horseman, has such a spirit?" ”

Qiu Shan smiled: "Qiu Shan has loved horses since he was a child, and because of his good nature, he is suitable for friends. First, they are docile and virtuous, hard-working, loyal and hardworking, and worthy of friendship. Second, be friendly and gregarious, get along with them, and be mutually beneficial. Third, the thinking is sharp and discerning, which is worth learning. Fourth, perseverance, love competition, and urge friends to make progress. Although Qiu Shan is not a Shu person, he has lived in Shu for 20 years, and he has never left him, because the Shu people of Shu are like good horses, and Qiu Shan loves them. Qiu Shan thought that the prince and Xishu intersected, there was no harm in it, and there was no worries, which was actually the best choice. On the contrary, the Northern Tartars and Eastern Wu are both tigers and wolves, and they should be avoided. ”

Ah Feng nodded: "It is true that Xishu is a rare friend, but as a prince, I can't only love my own friends, but also enrich the people of a country." ”

Qiu Shan said: "The Southern Yu Heavenly Dynasty is a big country, and the South China Sea waterway is also fighting. However, in the future, it is difficult to crisscross China by waterway alone, and it must be connected by land and water. Xishu is condescending, with the benefits of the two rivers, and it is precisely the strategic node of water and land, with land through Xia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Tatar, and even Western Europe and North Asia; The water and land reach Wuyue and even the East China Sea. The prince befriended Xishu, not only to get the friendship of good friends, but also to get thousands of miles of benefits. ”

When Ah Feng heard this, he applauded and laughed: "Ah Long, you horse groom made a "horse talk", don't let Changli." Let Lone be deeply taught today. ”

Ah Long smiled, his will was stronger, and he struck while the iron was hot: "I, the horse of the mountain brother, said that I not only represent myself, but also express the voice of thousands of Shu people." Yu Jun showed his magnificent spirit, relieved Zhonggui's difficulty, and prevented him from trampling on Wu Yue's iron hooves, such an immortal achievement, which is really gratifying. I, the whole country in Xishu, all feel the wisdom of Yu Jun. In the near future, my lord will give a congratulatory gift. ”

When Ah Feng heard this, he showed even more sympathy: "Ah Long, you Xishu Junmin are sincere, how can I Nanyu be a child?" Ah Long can rest assured that the Yushu Alliance will be able to last forever. ”

Yu Shu finally signed a trade agreement and reached a tacit understanding on the ownership of China and Guizhou. Although Xishu suffered a slight loss in the end, it never ceded its sovereignty, and it can be regarded as singing in the south and west, win-win and mutually beneficial, and everyone is happy.

At the time of parting, Ah Long looked at Qiu Shan, and with the luck of just in case, he asked in a trembling voice: "Qinghe and Mrs. Zun have had a close relationship, have you ever sent messages to each other recently?" ”

Qiu Shan felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Qi Qi Longxiang, the matter of the little lady Qiu Shan and his wife are always in mind, even the king and the queen are also very concerned. It's just that Qiu Shan is exploring in Shu, Wu, and Yu, and there is no news at all. Don't worry about the dragon, but if you pass through one place, you will be looking for green lotus. ”

Ah Long raised his head to look at the moon when he heard this, and sorrow came from it. Although it was expected, it was unreasonable. In addition to remorse, there is sadness in the heart.

Jin Suo looked at Ah Long and didn't feel sorry for him: "Everything is fine with you, and Long Xiang can rest assured." It's just that the king is very concerned, and when he parted, he repeatedly told his subordinates to urge Long Xiang to return. ”

Ah Long looked at the moonlit sky, and for the first time in his life, he was willful: "Jun En is vast, I will keep it in mind." The division has a great enmity, and they dare not forget each other. ”

Infinitely sad, hitting his heart, Jin Suo said silently: "Long Xiang is parting, do you still have something to tell your subordinates?" ”

Ah Long turned to the north, without joy or sorrow: "If my heart dies in the Northern Tartars, I will definitely destroy Xia Zhishu; Dongwu's heart will not die, this time we will form an alliance with Nanyu, that is, to break with him, and he will fall into the well. You must be reminded to train your troops every day and be on guard at all times. ”

Jin Suo nodded hurriedly: "The subordinates are taught, and they will return to the king." ”

Ah Long pondered for a moment, and then said: "If you send troops, you will not pass through the land of Wu Shu at will, and you will definitely take the Northern Xia, Northern Tibet, and even Yunnan and Guizhou to attack in a roundabout way." Inform the king that he will strengthen contacts with the three kingdoms. In particular, Yunnan and Guizhou have always had the heart of attachment, and if there is an opportunity, they must do their best to fight for it. ”

Jin Suo said goodbye with tears: "Subordinates remember, take care of the dragon." ”

Farewell to Jin Suo, endure sorrow after dusk. The starry sky looks at China, and the war in South China is endless.

On the bank of the lotus pond, the bright moon is bent like a hook. I don't hear Qinghe language, but I remember Qinghe's worries.

How many grievances in ancient and modern times, blood and tears flow in harmony. How many things rise and fall, and there is no time for eternity.

Since arriving in Nanyu, Ah Long has been lying on his desk every night, dancing with dragons and phoenixes, and carefully drawing the layout of the islands that he patrols the sea during the day.

Today's negotiations have not looked at the sea, and they are even more meticulous in waving their desks. The ink is not dry, and the scroll is as vivid as before. Deeply grieved, he silently recited in his heart:

The lotus of the south water is like a wave. Wandering at the end of the world, wandering all his life. The temples are like frost, and the years are like grinding.

The lotus of the south water, ups and downs like waves. Life and death part, gather less and leave more. Lonely souls, nowhere to be reconciled.

The lotus of the south water is floating like a wave. The ancient road is west wind, and Yaoqin is broken in the east. The night breeze falls, and the full moon is lonely.

The lotus of the south water is as cool as a wave. The water flows to the east, but the Netherlands is wrong to the west. Wake up dreamy and moan.

The lotus of the south water, sorrow and joy are like waves. Things are sad, and heavy buildings are locked. Alone and clear tears, the candle flame is scorching.

The grief was excessive, and there were people standing behind them, still not listening. It took a long time before he woke up and hurriedly turned around. It was Tiger who came, staring at the portrait in Aaron's hand, staring intently, and his face was even more grief-stricken than Aaron.

After a few months, the two of them have long been relieved.

Ah Long could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart: "My Qinghe, like Mrs. Zun, is also pregnant with Liujia. When you calculate it, it's bigger than your doll. ”

Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears, and sighed in his heart: "Why should I deceive others and deceive myself? My baby is long gone! It is Qinghe, and he is no longer alive. ”

There was even more silence in my heart: "My Qinghe, don't be in a hurry, when I get rid of 'Fengyan', when I take revenge on my teacher, I will definitely come to accompany you." ”

Tiger looked at the portrait and wanted to cry: "The little lady is indeed similar to the bright moon, no wonder Aaron admits his mistake." ”

Ah Long shook his head again and again: "It's a pity, it's just that they look alike." How many people are similar in the world? How many people are really similar? ”

Tiger was even more gloomy when he heard this, and he didn't know how to be relieved, so he could only ask with concern: "After searching for months, does Aaron have any clues?" ”

Ah Long said silently: "I just hope to find the "Phoenix Flame" as soon as possible, maybe we can meet each other." ”

Tiger was surprised: "Why did Aaron say this? What does the little lady have to do with 'Phoenix Flame'? ”

Ah Long and Tiger had already talked about everything, and they didn't hide it anymore, and said with tears: "The grandfather of my Xiaoxing (ancient meaning: little concubine) is 'Fengyan'. ”

Tiger was taken aback: "Is this true? ”

Ah Long lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Although my little star has never told the truth, her blue wolf and white deer, her biological father and ancestor, are all wrong. ”

Tiger pondered for a long time, and Fang said: "I know a thing or two about "Phoenix Flame". 'Phoenix Flame' and his younger sister 'Phoenix Wing', junior brother 'Phoenix Claw' and 'Phoenix Tail' are known as the 'Four Phoenixes in Fire'. He was originally the brother of my former prince, and although his mother was a Tartar, she was quite beautiful and was very favored by the Holy Ancestor. ”

Ah Long was stunned when he heard this: "Prince Feng? ”

Tiger said slowly: "The life experience of my family is still a mystery, no one dares to say anything, and I dare not criticize it. I only say that this Prince Feng, when he was young, 'Fengyan' mother and son joined forces to launch a palace coup, kill his father and brother, and seize the throne. ”

Ah Long was surprised when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I have been secretly visiting for many years, and "Feng Yan" was once the ruler of Nanyu, with martial arts and resourcefulness, and it was unfathomable. Seventeen years ago, Yu Jun was a young hero, held high the banner of righteousness, crusaded against the 'Phoenix Flame', avenged his father, and ruled the South China Sea. I don't know if that's true? Maybe the king is the son of the wind. ”

Tiger nodded repeatedly: "Perhaps." It's just that although 'Feng Yan' is weird and vicious, he is heroic, and he has never led Tartar into the room. Jun Shang grew up in Liyue Palace when he was young, and recognized 'Feng Yan' as his father, and was even more favored by him in a thousand ways, so that Jun Shang couldn't let go of the love of father and son, and finally felt compassion and let 'Feng Yan' have a way to live. Unexpectedly, "Feng Yan" was expelled, his heart changed greatly, he was extremely vicious, and he intensified, united with the pirates of the islands, dominated the South China Sea, stirred up trouble, and harmed one party. ”

Ah Long asked urgently: "I don't know how many heirs 'Fengyan' left behind?" ”

Tegelo groaned: "As far as I know, there is only one queen and one concubine in the 'Phoenix Flame' palace, which are called Xianghou and Wing Concubine. As soon as the Empress Xiang was born, she was designated as the wife of the Prince of the Wind, but she was snatched away by the 'Phoenix Flame'. Unbelievably, on the day of the wedding, the queen of Hunan was thrown into the cold palace by 'Fengyan' because of her love for her lover. 'Feng Yan' is suave and suave, and he is a man of temperament, and he never likes to go to the morning and evening. Although the 'wing concubine' is the only favorite, she has never come out. His people are extremely jealous, and 'Fengyan' has no heirs. Jun Shang was born to the Empress of Hunan and always recognized 'Feng Yan' as his father when he was a child. 'Feng Yan' has always been arrogant, although he loves Xianghou very much, he is angry at her betrayal. Despite this, he still did not change his original intention, and always regarded the king as his own, and established him as a prince early in the morning. ”

Ah Long was shocked when he heard this, and he was puzzled: "If 'Feng Yan' is childless, why does he call Qinghe 'good granddaughter', and why does Qinghe call him his grandfather?" ”

Looking at Tiger again, he was already looking at a picture of "Bihe Reflecting Summer" on the wall, obsessed, and his mind did not know where to go. The turquoise lotus flower, bright and dazzling, came from the hand of Ah Long.

Ah Long couldn't help but look at the past, and instantly remembered Qinghe's fiery lips, fiery kisses, fiery dream words, fiery vitality, for a while, it inspired endless memories of the past, and burned the infinite obsession of the past.

It was night, Ah Long couldn't help himself and ran to Mengli Bay. Shachen in the south, looking at the sea from afar, I clearly saw her, her long hair fluttering, her clothes were windy, jumping down from the reef, so brave, so capricious, so straightforward.

This is the place where her dreams linger, and if she is lucky enough to return, she will definitely come to play. Although she is pregnant with a baby, she will not let go of her naughtyness; If she loses her baby, she will be able to play more freely; If she is dead, the soul will not be willing to give up, and she will return to Nanyu.

Ah Long looked up at the sky, the blinking stars, just like her eyes, so naughty, so clear, couldn't help but say silently in her heart: "My green lotus, whether dead or alive, is the brightest star in the sky, never falls, never glooms, always volleys, always clear." ”

He continued to look up, a bright moon hanging in the distant sky, suddenly more and more clear, suddenly more and more blurred, as if to see her bright eyes, as if to see her fluttering, as if to see her peerless phantom, as if to see her infinite changes.

Suddenly, a meteor crossed in the distance, like the long hair of a goddess, swaying in the sky; Like a naughty doll, playing in the night sky; Like a shining gold pen, painting in the starry sky. It drags a beautiful arc, leaving a moment of brilliance, fading the perfect arc, and drawing a moment of tears.
