Chapter 8 Cai Yong is out of the horse
A moment later, Zhao Yun, Shi Tao, and the person in charge of the branch of the Ministry of Security arrived at the side hall one after another.
After each of them saluted, Meng Li was not verbose, and went straight to the point, saying: "Your Majesty has an edict ordering my Governor's Mansion to immediately find out the specific situation of the life civilization that originated and led to the south 150,000 miles away. Secondly, Your Majesty invites the uncle of the Cai family, holding His Majesty's letter of state, to meet the supreme official of the life civilization world, and invite the master of life civilization to meet in this world! ”
"Life civilization?"
Shi Tao pondered for a moment and said, "But he has never established diplomatic relations with the empire. ”
Meng Li nodded and said, "That's right," he grinned as he spoke, and said, "But it's because the third prince traveled in this world and met his sweetheart, everyone knows that His Majesty and the emperor and the queen and the princess are married to the princess, and it is heartbreaking." Now that the third prince is about to do this, His Majesty will be happy, and he will naturally attach great importance to it. ”
Hearing this, everyone else laughed.
The ten royal highnesses are all outstanding people. But in terms of marriage, Li Zheng is not allowed to worry. When they were crowned and crowned, I don't know how many high-ranking members of the empire wanted to marry the royal family, but they were unsuccessful.
These things were in a uproar at the beginning, and they were widely spread among the people.
"Bo Gong holds His Majesty's personal letter of state, goes to see the supreme official of life civilization, invites the master of life and civilization, and the preparation work must be handled by Shizhou Mu."
Shi Tao nodded: "This matter is very important, not only because of the family affairs of the descendants of the royal family, but also because of the collusion of interests between civilizations, but the subordinates are saved." ”
Meng Li nodded, and said, "General Zilong, this time Bo Jiaogong is going to the Life Civilization, and if you still need it, please take it with you." ”
Zhao Yun's head said yes.
After saying this, Meng Licai set his eyes on the person in charge of the security department.
The person in charge appeared to be in his thirties. Of course, it is basically difficult to define what the actual age is. He is the head of the Ministry of Security in this sector, known by his code name, by his actual name. Only he and the Minister of Security Guo Jia know.
"At the end of last year, there was a change of leadership in the empire. Marshal Zhou Yu has made plans for actual combat training, specifically to participate in the war between civilizations in this world in the form of mercenaries, so as to exercise the combat effectiveness of the imperial army and experience more war patterns, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the old war mode of the imperial army. And the civilization of life, which at this time is at war with another civilization, provides an opportunity for the imperial army. Therefore, His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Security to investigate the specific information contained therein. Sort out the relationship and then make a decision. Presumably, Minister Guo Jia has already summoned you, and General Ben is here to remind you a little. ”
"This is the duty of my Ministry of Security, and the Governor can rest assured that the results will be submitted to His Majesty's desk within ten days." The head of the security department said lightly.
"Okay."
Meng Li didn't say much, and said: "Bo Jiaogong will set off early this morning, and at noon, he will arrive in Thousand Mountains City. Ladies and gentlemen. The hour is almost up, so let's go out and meet it. ”
Cai Yong stepped down from his position as vice minister of education. Over the years, he has worked in research institutes and academies, and has made great achievements in the field of culture, and has won the respect of the literati of the empire. The most important thing is that he is Li Zheng's father-in-law!
Public and private. You have to greet them so that you don't lose your manners.
The head of the security department got up, nodded to the rest of the group, and walked away.
As a member of the Ministry of Security, nothing happened. You can't come into contact with irrelevant people, even Cai Yong. Everyone knows this, so there is no blame.
After this person left, Meng Li informed Zhang Liao and Xiahoudun, and the group left the governor's palace and rode to the north of the city
Cai Yong is now nearly 100 years old, but in appearance, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties. The beard is black, the face is ruddy, the temperament is elegant, and the breath of knowledge lingers all over the body, rich, deep, and grand, giving people a sacred atmosphere and making people admire.
Dian Wei stood beside Cai Yong, with good rules.
Dian Wei is the general who guards the exit of the space-time passage, and since he got the news, he waited outside the passage early in the morning, and when Cai Yong came out, he immediately greeted him.
Dian Wei was originally a rough man, and he admired cultured and knowledgeable people the most. Over the years, Dian Wei has also read a lot and understood a lot of truths, so he feels more and more that these great Confucians are worthy of reverence.
For Cai Yong's reverence, he comes from the heart.
Cai Yong flicked his sleeves and restrained his hands, took the surrounding scenery into his eyes, sighed slightly, and said: "The old man also has the opportunity to come to this other world, hehe"
Decades ago, he never thought that he would be able to live until now, and he never thought that there would be an existence in another world, let alone that he would set foot in another world one day.
If Li Zheng hadn't personally invited him this time, he wouldn't have stepped out of his own world. Maybe until he dies, he dies in the stacks of books.
But after all, it was Li Zheng who invited him, and it was about the marriage of the younger generation, as an elder, he should not give in.
This time, I came over with the national letter and went to the life civilization, and Cai Yong only brought two people. These two people are Li Zheng's specially equipped strong men to protect Cai Yong's safety.
"General Dian, don't be restrained,"
Cai Yong looked at Dian Wei, smiled, like a spring breeze, and said: "The general has been guarding this world for more than 20 years, and he has worked hard and made great achievements. ”
"Well deserved." Dian Wei hurriedly said: "I admire you Confucianism the most." ”
After talking and resting for a while, Dian Wei made arrangements, led a team of war horses, and personally escorted Cai Yong to Qianshan City.
When he arrived outside Qianshan City, he saw Meng Li and the others greeting him.
Cai Yong greeted them with a smile, greeted them, and then entered Qianshan City.
When they arrived at the Governor's Palace, they each sat down, Cai Yong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The old decay is here, but it has alarmed you, and it is rude to bother you to greet you." ”
"The generation of Confucianism is also an elder, so it is natural for us to greet them with the gift of the younger generation." Meng Lizuo said.
Cai Yong smiled, revealed the topic, and then said: "I was invited by His Majesty to come to this world this time, and what I have seen and heard in this moment has opened my eyes, and the scenery and atmosphere here are not similar to those of the empire. It's novel tight. ”
Shi Tao said with a smile: "This origin collar is better, after all, it is the territory of the empire, and the style of the empire is the mainstream." If you go to other civilizations, it's really an eye-opener. ”
Cai Yong said: "I just want to go to that life civilization, and I can get a rough look at it all the way for 150,000 miles." ”
The group spoke a few words. held another banquet to wash the dust for Cai Yong, and then arranged Cai Yong's residence, and then went down to make preparations.
The specific route from the origin to the territory of life civilization, Li Hong naturally has a detailed record.
All the way to the south, the straight-line distance is almost 150,000 miles. There are twelve territories from different dimensional world civilizations.
To go to the life civilization, you must go through these twelve civilization territories. Of course, instead of traveling by land, he took a flying machine produced by the Empire.
However, it is necessary to pass through the airspace of these twelve civilization territories. At least say hello to them.
Otherwise, if you go recklessly, you will inevitably cause some trouble, and even be shot down by an army with unknown circumstances.
These things need to be solved by Shi Tao.
Eleven of these twelve civilizations have already established diplomatic relations with the empire and have exchanges in all aspects, but only one civilization in the most marginal region has never had any contact with the empire.
The passage of the first eleven civilization territories. It's easy to solve, just need to go to their office in Thousand Mountains City to say hello. Just explain the situation.
And the civilization that has not established diplomatic relations with the empire has no better way but to get to the ground first and then make plans.
If you're travelling by road, you don't need to be too troublesome. As long as the number of people is small, it is convenient to pass. But the speed of the overland route is too slow.
And take a flying machine. The limits are a bit greater.
The next day, Cai Yong and Li Zheng's two entourage guards specially equipped for him, as well as a team of twenty guards including Zhao Yun, boarded a flying machine and soared into the sky. Turned into a phantom and disappeared into the sky.
The Empire's own flying machines are divided into military and civilian uses.
Not to mention the civilian ones, there are three types of military aircraft: large, medium and small. A small flying machine, not much larger than a carriage, can carry up to ten people. Medium-sized aircraft can carry 100 people. Large flying vehicles, with a cap of 500 people.
The aircraft they were riding on was a medium-sized aircraft.
The appearance of this flying machine is like a shuttle, and the whole is a three-sided prism with a silver gray body. The operating system in it is a semi-intelligent operating system based on the formation system, which also requires a certain amount of human operation. As far as the operating system is concerned, it is much worse than many civilizations. However, the empire's research in this area is only on the right track after all, and it is already very good to have such an achievement.
This aircraft is equipped with five large energy weapon launchers, and 20 small and medium-sized energy weapon launchers. In terms of firepower, it can be considered ferocious.
A large energy weapon capable of directly destroying a hill up to fifty meters high with a single blow. The shock wave generated by the energy explosion has a certain lethality within a radius of five miles.
Its flight speed can reach as fast as 10 kilometers per second, and it can break away from the gravitational pull of the planet and enter the starry sky for combat.
If the fastest speed is used, this aircraft can fly a distance of 150,000 miles in 7,500 seconds, that is, in the early hours of an hour.
However, the faster the speed, the greater the energy consumption, and this time Cai Yong was not in a hurry, and planned to arrive within three days, so his speed was set at about 5,000 miles per hour.
Inside the aircraft, Cai Yong looked through the window and looked at the rapidly flowing scenery below, but it was really eye-opening.
Needless to say, Yushui City is full of golden light, and people who look at it from afar are dazzled.
After passing the Yushui Ling, you can see a variety of different styles of scenery along the way. For example, the architecture of a certain civilization is extremely rough. The central city of the territory is built of huge stones.
It's like a hill, it's not beautiful, but it's extremely heavy.
Or there are intelligent creatures of civilization, whose stature is extremely tall, afraid that it is not as tall as seven or eight feet, and it is like a giant. In mid-air, their faces could be seen clearly.
Or there are civilizations whose intelligent creatures have wings and can soar into the sky at will, dancing and making people sigh.
Or maybe a civilization is barren on the ground. But it turned out that their building was underground!
There are also civilizations that are extremely accomplished in energy, whether it is a building or a creature, there is a layer of energy brilliance.
There are even more civilizations that are not humanoid at all, but their central city is a floating city! From afar, I saw a misty city as far as the eye could see, suspended in mid-air.
Of course, there are also civilizations with highly developed mechanization. The whole city is a huge machine, which can move at will, can fly driven by energy, and can also disintegrate into small machines, and small machines can merge and become big guys.
Seeing this, Cai Yong couldn't help but be amazed and sighed. (To be continued......)
