Chapter 204: Intensify the armament

The handover took more than three months, because Gu Du's side wanted to relocate the people, and since the two counties were returned to the Lingguo, the relocated people of the Zeguo country had to move away again.

When it was decided to sign the credentials, Gu Du ordered the defenders of Lan and Xia Ercheng to build a big city, wrap the two cities, and make the two cities become two urn cities of the entire big city, but they must first build private houses for the purpose of relocating the people.

Gu Du was not at ease with the Linghuang, the Linghuang exchanged two passes for two counties, at first glance, Zeguo took advantage, but in fact, the three passes could not be used to assist in defense, and they were far apart.

The Spirit Emperor should feel that only Gu Du is a threat in Zeguo, Gu Du occupies the northwest line, and one person can take care of one pass and two counties, but if it is three passes, Gu Du will be lacking in skills, if he fights again, as long as he uses troops at the two passes, Gu Du will be exhausted.

Therefore, Gu Du must build the city as soon as possible to assist in defense, although there are natural dangers in the three passes, but after the handover, it is necessary to build a large number of buildings and rebuild the passes, otherwise it will be facing the spirit country with his back, and there is not much difference between it and whether it is related to it or not.

In addition, after the two counties were handed over, the northwest line was empty, and the city garrison had to be built after sunset.

This busyness can't stop, in the middle of the year, Gu Du asked Di Qiuhan to go back to the Mountains, took Dongfang Xia Lan and his two daughters to his side, and took them wherever he went.

After changing places twice, Dongfang Xia Lan came back to her senses and said angrily: "Are you leashing me?" ”

She didn't mention it, and Gu Du didn't say it, it was better to think too much about it, but since she mentioned it, Gu Du asked: "Tell me the truth, do you want to go to Mo Xuan?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan pursed her lips, and Gu Du said, "As long as I can still restrain you, don't think about going." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "Take precautions." ”

Gu Du scolded: "Bullshit! The sea area has been open for half a year, are there any foreign enemies? You have to see a human figure, right? Five hundred years ago, who knows what would happen now? ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said angrily: "Didn't you encourage the emperor to go with Empress Xia at the beginning? ”

Gu Du replied in a low voice: "They can do it, but you can't go." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan smiled, leaned into his arms, Gu Yan opened his hand back and said, "Daddy, hug." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan reprimanded: "What a hug!" Rob your dad with me, believe it or not I'll beat you to death! ”

Gu Yan cried back, and Gu Jurui also cried.

Gu Du cried and said Dongfang Xia Lan with a smile: "What are you doing?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan replied angrily: "I'm annoyed!" ”

The Spirit Kingdom is also stepping up its defenses, building ships, training sailors, building watchtowers, arranging bed crossbows and trebuchets.

Although the whole continent is surrounded by sea, there are mountains on the entire north side, and only the southeast side is open, and if there is a foreign invasion, it must come from the southeast.

Emperor Ling promoted Chu Qin to high priest, overseeing coastal defense and communication with Zeguo, and on the third day after Chu Qin was promoted, he called Cha Xiu to the Imperial Soul Division.

Retreating left and right, Chu Qin looked at him and said, "You are Zeguo Xiaozuo." ”

Cha Xiu argued, "Why did the high priest say this? ”

Chu Qin said: "In Tiger Roaring Mountain, you conspired with Gu Du to lure me into the village, but you underestimated Gu Du's relationship with me, so it didn't work out." ”

Cha Xiu said: "If you want to add sin, why bother? ”

Chu Qin said: "If I want to kill you, I don't have to call you alone, the two countries have now signed a letter of state, and the alliance will be formed forever, you should go back." ”

Cha Xiu sneered, his eyes disdainful.

Chu Qin said: "There is something that should let you know, the high priest Zhong Qi is Dongfang He, the eldest son of the emperor of Zeguo, it is he who poisoned Chu Shuting to death, forced Jin Lan's mother and son to death, and forced Gu Du to rebel, this time in order to make the two countries sign the credentials, he committed suicide by poisoning in front of Gu Du in the court of Zeguo." ”

Cha Xiu's eyes widened and he looked at Chu Qin in shock, and Chu Qin said again: "Do you know what Dongfang He said to me before he died? ”

Cha Xiu looked suspicious, Chu Qin said: "Don't worry, he didn't identify you, he told me that he has been in the Spirit Kingdom for more than 20 years, and he should also give an explanation to the Spirit Emperor." ”

Cha Xiu felt guilty in his heart, how could he think that the eldest prince had betrayed him?

Chu Qin said: "Go back, you are not too old, you can still marry a wife and have children, although you don't admit it, but I have determined that you are Zeguo Xiaozuo, and it is useless for you to stay here any longer." ”

After a pause, Chu Qin said again: "You don't need to argue with me, because of Gu Du, the emperor appointed me as the high priest, so I still owe you three points of favor, otherwise it would not be my turn to sit in this seat." ”

Cha Xiu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, the meaning of Chu Qin's words was very clear, he was the high priest, he said that whoever is a fine work, who is a fine work, even if it is not, it has to be, and because of Gu Du's relationship, the Spirit Emperor is afraid that he only believes in Chu Qin now.

Cha Xiu bowed and saluted, and said, "I will say goodbye." ”

Chu Qin nodded and said, "I won't send it far." ”

At the end of the tea month, the watchtower on the southeast coast saw a large ship heading straight to the shore.

The soldiers on the watchtower blew the horn, and the garrison general Hu Botong mobilized his troops to prepare for battle, the bed crossbow was wound, and the trebuchet was loaded.

The ship was the size of a washbasin at first, but then grew larger and larger, and when it was about a hundred feet from the shore, it resembled a tall building.

Hu Botong ordered: "Throw stones!" ”

This distance is beyond the reach of trebuchets, and the purpose of throwing stones is to warn, and if they get closer, they will use force.

A piece of gravel was thrown into the sea, and someone on the bow of the ship waved his hand and shouted loudly, Hu Botong listened carefully, and he didn't know what the other party was shouting.

After being closed for 500 years, he has long been cut off from the outside world, and of course he can't understand the other party's language.

But the big boat began to turn around, and then slowly stopped, and lowered a small boat from the side, and there were three men in the small boat, rowing towards the shore.

Hu Botong ordered: "Let them dock!" ”

After a while, the boat came to the shore, and the three people on the boat were all wearing black robes, and there was nothing unusual about their appearance, similar to the people of this continent, except that they were taller than ordinary people and burly.

The soldier pointed his spear and bow at the trio, all of whom raised their hands, one of whom was talking with his right hand and pointing to his chest with his left.

The soldiers pulled the boat down, and someone else went up to escort the three people off the boat and brought them to Hu Botong.

The man who spoke was still talking, still holding his right hand and pointing to his chest with his left.

Hu Botong nodded, and the man slowly took out a small bag from his arms, then squatted on the ground, opened the small bag, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a line of Lingguo words on the paper neatly: We are not here to fight, we are here to make friends.

Hu Botong was quite surprised, he couldn't speak the words of Lingguo, but he could write the words of Lingguo.

Hu Botong asked, "How can you write the character of Lingguo?" ”
