Chapter 138: Disasters and Man-made Disasters
Hearing that Zhang was still angry and scary, the attitude of those alien men immediately became gentle,
After all, a real businessman seeks wealth, even if he has a strong cultivation, it will only be used to prevent the situation from being weak and being oppressed by others.
"This lord, Sister Gui's entanglement with us is a long story, why don't we find a place where we can bevel and talk slowly." They looked at each other, and one of the shortest among the alien men, with a ruby carved in the shape of a water drop in the center of his eyebrows, was the largest and the most crystal clear, and said with a smile after saluting Zhang Huansheng with his hands crossed over his shoulders.
"Okay, so be it." Hearing this, Zhang Huansheng nodded slowly, as if twisting a straw, carrying the autumn white knife, strolling into the nearest teahouse to him, and finding a private room to sit down.
After that, he ordered a table full of famous tea and snacks, and slowly listened to the story of Qiu Baidao to know that it turned out that at the time of the handover of winter and spring this year, the people in the forest again committed Bian Yanhuang for no reason.
Since the decline of the Great Chu Dynasty, this kind of thing has long been common, and it is not surprising to support it, but this time, to everyone's surprise, the king of the West in the 'King of the Four Directions', whose status in the forest is only under the monarch, suddenly and somehow was killed in the land of Gyeonggi in the Chu State, and he directly ended up in a disillusioned end.
This matter is full of incredible doubts when studied in detail, such as how the land of Dachu Jinggi is thousands of miles away from the forest, how could the king of the west of the forest commit a crime there, and with the strength of his major repair, how could he die on the spot, and even the Yuan Shen did not escape, and so on.
But in any case, the tragic death of the king of the west of the forest is by no means a lie, otherwise the invading forest barbarians will not be overnight, two or three percent of the soldiers wiped their faces with blood, as if they were crazy, began to wash the city and slaughter the city, all the way to the territory of Yinhai County of Xuguo regardless of casualties, and almost attacked the capital city of Nanyang.
Previously, the farthest border in the forest was the horse stepping on the four countries, but this time it almost occupied the Yinhai in the hinterland of the Xuguo country, and the fourteen small princes of Jianghuai were pierced in the south, and the army of Zhongjin was approaching the middle region of Yanhuang, which couldn't help but give people a feeling of the end of the troubled times.
Especially in the places that suffered from military disasters, such as in Yinhai County of Xuguo, although the Fucheng Nanyang was lucky not to be broken by the barbarians, the price paid was the Howling Wind Army, which suffered heavy losses due to the invasion of the border in the forest and the rescue of the border land two years ago, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
Only 3 to 2,000 of the tens of thousands of elite soldiers were killed or wounded, and most of them were seriously wounded.
And the people are even more miserable, the towns and villages outside the big city, and the small towns have been burned into ruins by the barbarians, and they have directly turned into the graves of the dead Shuli, and the surviving ordinary people have been captured by the people in the forest, and they have ended up worse than death.
But after such a tragic military disaster, what the ruling minister of Xuguo thought about was not to comfort the wounded and comfort the people's livelihood, but was busy shirking the responsibility for the defeat, and the party was the same as the other.
And the most suitable scapegoat they can find is naturally one of the three strong armies that once rampant in the Xu Kingdom, and no one dares to look sideways, but now it has collapsed, and the withered and broken Howling Wind Army has broken up, so the man-made disaster in Yinhai County has recurred.
“… Somehow, suddenly, all of a sudden, Haoyuan, who was recuperating from his injuries, was arrested.
After that, it was Ahri and Mo Da, and finally even Uncle Zhong, who was the deputy overseer, was also imprisoned by the angels from the imperial court," Qiu Baidao finally choked up and said: "As soon as I saw this situation, I knew that something was wrong, and this kind of grievance could never be eliminated by redress and complaints, so I thought of you."
On the day you were picked up by the Imperial Forest Army of the Son of Heaven, from a small civilian orphan, suddenly became, became a rich and noble son, although the government has been secretive, but in the people for a long time, it has already gone viral and become a legend, that is, my hospital is because of your relationship, the fame is much greater.
Later, it was said that in order to make endless sacrifices to the Zhongliang Ancient Gate that left a name in history, you resolutely asked the Son of Heaven to convert to Yi Zhao, and was named an overseas prince.
Later, a maritime merchant said, "I've been there, I've been to your feudal country, and it's really a prosperous place outside the world..."
Hearing this, some of the alien men on the side had their eyes lit up, looked at Zhang Huansheng and blurted out in exclamation: "My god, are you really canonized by Emperor Yanhuang, the monarch of this rich island country?" ”
"Lone is the lord of the country." Zhang Huansheng had no intention of concealing his identity, so he replied casually, and then looked at Qiu Baidao and said with a smile: "So Sister, you came overseas to find me, right!"
I originally thought that the people of Yan Huang loved the land the most, and they regarded themselves as the people of the Shangguo Kingdom, and I don't know how many ordinary people felt that the king of a barbaric small state was not as good as the life of the soldiers guarding the gate in Xiong Jing.
In addition, when the port was not successfully opened, the appearance of this country was really like a deserted village, and many people were clothed in tree bark, and they could not eat meat for months, which was far less prosperous than Nanyang Mansion.
Moreover, Brother Yang, Ahri, and Mo Da all have excellent prospects in the Howling Wind Army, so they didn't send anyone to share the wealth with you.
Who would have thought that Nanyang, which had not encountered a military disaster for hundreds of years, suddenly suffered a catastrophe, and you had such courage to come to me alone across thousands of miles of sea.
If I had known this, I might as well have taken you all over as soon as possible. ”
Qiu Baidao sniffled when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, if it weren't for this change, you would have called us earlier, and we might not be willing to leave Nanyang." ”
"Sister, you're honest." When Zhang Huansheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, and then he heard the autumn white knife say again: "Yousheng, the reason why I was able to find your feudal kingdom smoothly was because I was able to get on the ship of these bearded barbarians, and I also signed a ten-year ship doctor contract with them for this purpose.
Later, when I landed on the island, they did not allow me to run around, and they did not want to take me to the government, so I told them that my brother was the king of the island, but they still did not give up, so I shouted, and I did not expect..."
"Oh, noble princess," the leader of the alien men immediately stretched out his hands aggrievedly and interjected, "We can't blame us for not believing it.
How many merchants in the world can meet the legendary story of a beautiful princess who has fallen to his ship in search of her brother who has built a rich nation on a lonely island? ”
