Now that it is peaceful today, the state of Chu has started a war again, not to mention anything else, those countries that have been occupied by the state of Chu will not choose to stand idly by, and the state of Chu will not be unclear about this issue, Xu An is a little strange what kind of situation makes the state of Chu desperate to send troops.

"The state of Chu is facing the sea on both sides, and the sea level in the West Sea suddenly began to rise, inundating a large coastal area in the western part of the state of Chu, and the number of victims is very large, and the state of Chu needs more territory to house these victims. Changgen took out a piece of letter from his cuff and read it carefully in the moonlight.

"What about the rising sea level, just the West Sea, the North Sea?" asked Xu An, puzzled.

Hundreds of years ago, Chu was a defeated country, so the land resources that could be allocated after the war were very limited, but why did the sea level suddenly start to rise? The reason why Xu An asked about Beihai was because the north of Beichang was Beihai.

"There seems to have been this situation in the North Sea some time ago, but it is not as serious as in the West Sea, and the tide in the North Sea has receded. Chang Geng continued.

"When is the matter of the two countries?" asked Xu An again.

"Two months ago, I just received the news a few days ago, presumably General Lin and they haven't received it for the time being, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped even if Dean Mu came and shot him. As for when the battle will be, it is not clear, but there are still three months to go before the New Year, and if there is a battle, it should be after the year. Chang Geng thought about it and said.

Xu An knew that Chang Geng's words were right, and now the situation in the Beichang Empire was extremely grim, first there was internal turmoil, although it was not a big problem to deal with. But at this time, the Chu State launched a war, if the Chu army broke through the Qi State and there was another rebellion within the Beichang Empire, then the next target of the Chu army would definitely be Beichang!

And if Lin Pinggui knew these things, that shot would not change the target at all, and even if it was seen, it would not change anything.

In this case, Xu An must return to the capital, but if he wants to return to the capital, it will accelerate the rebellion within Beichang, and even if he does not return to the capital, the rebellion will not be quelled, which can be described as a dilemma.

"Well, everyone thinks that the Chu State is no longer the Chu State of hundreds of years ago, and there is no one in the eyes of the King of Wu, so the Wuqing Empire should not send troops. The weak state of Lu and Wei could not control the situation on the battlefield, and the state of Qi alone was not the opponent of the state of Chu. Xu An thought carefully for a while and then said.

"The Beichang Empire borders the Qi State, and if the Qi State breaks through the defense line in the western part of Beichang, it will be a little weak, and your army in the western part of Beichang can defend against the Qi State, but not against the Chu State. Changgen stretched out a finger and shook it.

"You're right, that's what I'm worried about, but I'm more worried about why the sea level in the West and North Seas is suddenly rising, and what about the South China Sea and the East China Sea?" Xu An then asked.

"No, just the North Sea and the West Sea. Chang Geng said.

"Wangshu Tower... Taiyin Mountain is also close to the West Sea, and they don't know the specific situation?" Xu An then asked.

"Our people have sent news, and Zhifeng Tang can't figure out the situation, Xihai has already flooded a small half of the westernmost mountain range of Taiyin Mountain, and it won't take two years for Wangshulou to be gone. Chang even gloated.

"There are also your people in Wangshu Tower?" Xu An asked in shock.

"That's natural, don't look at me like that, we have been established for a longer time than Wangshulou, and the number of people must be more than Wangshulou, and it is not difficult to put a few people in Wangshulou, hundreds of years ago, many forces went to Wangshulou, and several forces were ours, and they married wives and had children there, which has continued until now. Chang Geng said.

"Could it be a death omen?" Xu An asked suspiciously.

"It shouldn't be, there will be a vision in the sky when the death omen star comes, think about it, how can we and Wangshulou not know that a star in the sky has fallen. Changgen shook his head and said.

"But you don't have to worry, if the Qi State is broken and exposed to the Chu State's field of vision, it is not only you Beichang, but also the Wuqing Empire and the Zhao State, and your two empires are enough to deal with a small Chu State. Chang Geng continued.

"Although the Wuqing Empire is strong, it is also because of the existence of Ji Dongli, Shangwu City is unbreakable, but their borders are still weak, coupled with the arrogance of King Wu, even if the Chu State occupies the Qi State, he will not take it seriously. Xu An shook his head and said.

"The Beichang Empire wants reinforcements?" the Chang even asked.

"If it is me, I will definitely send troops to reinforce it, although the combat strength of the Chu State is not as good as before, their ambitions are still there, if they occupy the territory of Beichang of the Qi State, they will definitely resume war. Xu An said.

"Can you do such a thing, Lord?" asked the chief mockingly.

"It's hard to say whether you can survive or not, so let's wait until we return to the capital. Xu An sighed helplessly and said, he is being hunted down and killed now, why are you thinking about these things?

The two of them walked and talked on the road, and they didn't know when they would be able to complete the thirty-mile journey at their speed.

"Where are the horses?" said Xu An, who walked on the road and saw a war horse parked in front of him, frowned.

Chang Geng hurriedly ran to the side of the horse, checked and confirmed that it was the one that Ah Li was riding, first shouted loudly twice, and then said to Xu An: "It's the one that Jiang Li is riding." ”

Xu An bolted the black horse to the tree, squatted down and carefully inspected the ground: "There are traces of fighting, and they have not been deliberately erased, and the war horse has not been dealt with or left here, those people should not be afraid that we know that Jiang Li has been robbed." ”

"What did General Lin do?" asked the chief hurriedly.

"Shouldn't it be, General Lin shouldn't be able to do such a thing as kidnapping, you didn't offend anyone, right?" Xu An felt more and more uncomfortable.

"We have offended a lot of people...", the elder returned weaker.

"You have to know who those people are against, if they are against me, then she will not be in any danger, if she is just looking for revenge on the two of you, I am afraid she will not be left behind. Xu An thought carefully for a while, and then thought that these people were still here to target him.

The reason is very simple, if it is revenge, kill her directly, and it is unlikely that she will be robbed, so that the target is too big and easy for others to see the abnormality. And even if he saw that Ah Li was good-looking and wanted to rob him and do something, he would not be so bold, and he didn't deal with the traces of war horses and fights, and he felt that he was deliberately telling Xu An that he was robbed.

It's easier to target yourself, but besides General Lin, there are other people who want to kill you? And who else knows your whereabouts besides General Lin?

He didn't think that a person like Lin Pinggui would bother to do such a thing as a kidnapping threat, but who else but him would know his whereabouts? Xu An began to carefully recall what happened along the way, and Chang Geng also wanted to find some traces on the ground and trees around him.

From the border of Beichang to the present, the only people he has met are Lin Pinggui, Lin Ying and Liu Laoer, Lin Pinggui is impossible, if Lin Ying wants to kill himself, Xu An has already died under the iron hooves of the Zhennan Army, and it is unlikely that Lin Ying wants to kill himself, excluding this father and son, the only people left are Liu Laoer, is it Liu Laoer?

Among the three people he met, the one Xu An didn't want to do the most was Liu Lao Er, and Xu An wanted to tell himself that it couldn't be Liu Lao Er, because Liu Lao Er was the first ordinary person to let himself have both emotions of admiration and gratitude at the same time.

Xu Anning is willing to kidnap Ah Li, it is almost impossible to rescue people from him, Lin Pinggui does not want to be Liu Laoer.

Xu An knew that Liu Lao Er was just an ordinary person and had not cultivated. But he did stay at Liu Laoer's house for a long time, and Liu Laoer also went out twice halfway, and one time was longer, and Ah Li also went out that time.

Xu An didn't think about it anymore when he thought of this, although he didn't want to believe it, he still thought that nothing in this world was impossible, and he directly pulled out the floating water from Chang Geng's hand and was about to turn around and walk towards the village, whether it was or not, he just had to go over and take a look, if it was Liu Laoer's doing, then he must be no longer at home now.

Xu An thought that Liu Lao Er might have been bribed, and those people would definitely guess that they would turn back again to find out after kidnapping Ah Li, and they couldn't let Liu Lao Er stay there.

As for lifting the sword, it is just a superfluous move, it is a manifestation of Xu An's anger, if it is really Liu Laoer's doing, then it is useless to carry the sword now, everyone has run away, who are you going to kill when you raise the sword? If it wasn't for Liu Laoer's doing, Xu An would definitely not be able to kill him.

Or that Xu An went back to be redundant and a waste of time, but Xu An just wanted to go back and take a look, not to find Ah Li, but to confirm whether it was Liu Laoer's doing.

"Why are you going?" Chang asked when he saw Xu An's reaction.

"You wait here, I'll go and go back. Xu An disappeared after speaking.

Xu An didn't ride a horse, because the sound of riding a horse was too loud, he was afraid of causing any movement, even so his speed was still fast, all the way he hoped that Liu Lao Er was still sleeping honestly at home, not to have anything to do with this matter, he was very afraid that Liu Lao Er would disappear when he walked back to the courtyard.

Xu An's pace began to slow down, and he didn't go far from Chang Geng, so he had now returned to the gate of Liu Lao'er's house.

Xu An didn't take too long to walk back. When I came to the gate of the courtyard, my heart suddenly tightened.

Because the whole courtyard was pitch black, whether it was the half-open courtyard gate or the pitch-black courtyard, they were telling Xu An that there was no one in this courtyard.

But Xu An was unwilling, and slowly walked into the courtyard with the floating water dragon yuan behind him, he was very nervous now, and even forgot to use spiritual power to sense the existence of anyone in the house, the spiritual power had not fully recovered was a reason, and the main thing was that he was afraid that there was no one in the house.

He wanted to go to the window to see if Liu Lao Er was sleeping in the house, and he didn't rely on perception, he wanted to take a look in person, so he didn't shout directly.

Acting emotionally, this is really not like Xu An's personality, if it was someone else's yard Xu An might have left when he came to the courtyard to take a look outside, but for him, Liu Lao Er is different.

Although the contact time is not long, in Xu An's opinion, Liu Lao Er is a wonderful person, and he doesn't want to see such a person in disguise, so his mood fluctuates greatly.

Xu An slowly walked to the window.

At this moment, a stick was smashed towards Xu An!
