Chapter 40: Two Bosses

The King of the Ancient Earth stood up abruptly and asked, "The undersea people have occupied the West Heaven Island?" How did Wang Er know? ”

"According to my father's military order, my Western Didi City Legion quickly formed a fleet to pursue the Xidi King who fled to Xitian Island, but we had just left the coast for more than ten miles, and we saw a large group of gray things that looked very similar to the ship and cart outside the door coming from the direction of Xitian Island, and their total number was at least one hundred, divided into three columns to ride the wind and waves and quickly rush towards my fleet.

As soon as I saw it, I knew that those things were small surface warships of the people on the seabed, because it was impossible for the King of the West Land, who had just escaped to Xitian Island, to have such a warship.

I immediately ordered a dozen warships at the front of the flotilla to line up to fend off the thing and continue to advance, and sure enough, the undersea men slowed down five hundred meters in front of our flotilla, then slowly approached our flotilla, and began to fire at our flotilla when it was about three hundred meters away.

A gunpowder cannon sticks out of the nose of each of the small warships of the undersea people, which hits much farther than ours and with great accuracy.

Because the size of each of our warships is more than ten times larger than the small warships of those underseamen, so we can temporarily block their shelling, plus the cannons on our warships began to return fire, so that the tanks of the seamen did not dare to approach, and the warships behind us took the opportunity to retreat at full speed, fortunately we were not far from the coast, otherwise we would definitely be annihilated. ”

When the King of the Ancient Land heard this, he sat back on his throne in silence.

The high tension in the hall has also eased, after all, the undersea people have not yet attacked the mainland.

As soon as the general spoke, Jiesheng knew his identity, and he sat down and whispered to Kapok, "He is the great prince and general who is mainly attacking the Western Kingdom." ”

The general turned to look at Kapok and said, "May I ask who this visitor is?" That boat and cart outside are yours, right? ”

The eldest prince looked about the same age as Yaya, and staring at Kapokko, who was much younger than himself, was sitting, and the eldest prince's eyes and tone seemed condescending.

Kapok could not tolerate others leaning down to look down at him, he smiled and stood up, although the eldest prince was the most burly of the green men present, and he wore armor and a sword at his waist, but he was significantly smaller than the red-faced Kapok in civilian clothes.

Facing the kapok who stood up, the condescending look in the general's eyes immediately disappeared.

Kapok Zi said with a serious expression: "General, I am the prince's envoy from the prairie on the east coast of the sea, and the boat and cart outside belong to this envoy. The purpose of this special envoy's visit to your country is to inform you of the imminent invasion of the Xizhou continent by the undersea people. Moreover, this envoy has already told your father His Majesty that the undersea gene people will attack Xitian Island first, and the news you brought has confirmed this, and the gene people have occupied Xitian Island. ”

"Are you saying that the undersea people will invade the Xizhou Continent after occupying Xitian Island?" The general's face was full of astonishment, and without waiting for Kapok to answer, he turned his inquiring gaze to his father.

"Give the eldest prince a seat!" The King of the Ancient Land looked at the entrance of the hall and said loudly.

The two guards immediately brought a seat and placed it in the center of the throne, and the eldest prince sat down silently.

Kapok stood and scanned the hall with a majestic gaze and said sharply: "Ladies and gentlemen, the news brought by your eldest prince has confirmed that the information of this envoy is completely true, and for the survival of all our land people, you Xizhou Siguo must immediately stop the civil war. In this regard, His Majesty the King of Gudi has just solemnly promised the special envoy of this prince that his army will immediately cease fire, and asks the envoys of the three southern countries to return to their respective kings immediately.

It's still early in the day, and it is said that you can return to your respective capitals in one day by carriage, so the ceasefire agreement between your four countries must be in force before dark tomorrow. This envoy will rush to the southern border of the ancient land tomorrow to monitor the ceasefire, and if any of the national legions remain on the borders of other countries to fight, this envoy will destroy them on the spot!"

After Kapok finished speaking, he sat down, and the eldest prince quickly understood what was happening in front of him from Kapok's words.

He stood up and said to the king of the ancient land, "Father," and then turned his face to Kapok Zizi and said, "Special envoy, this general has witnessed the power of the seabed man gunboats, and a small warship of the prairie envoy can come across the sea, presumably you steppe people already have weapons to deal with the seabed people gunboats." If we Xizhou people want to fight against the invasion of the continent by the undersea people, we need your steppe to provide sufficient advanced weapons to win. ”

Kapok Zi smiled and said, "General, please sit down and speak," and then retracted his smile and said, "As long as you Xizhou people stop the civil war and form an alliance to resist the war, our steppe will transport the first batch of weapons and equipment within two months, including advanced gunpowder, guns and chariots, and then we will successively transport an expeditionary force of 5,000 people to Xizhou to directly help you Xizhou people fight against the undersea gene people."

Our weapons and equipment will be provided to your national corps free of charge on a pro rata basis, but only on the condition that you ensure that they are actually used to fight the underseamen. To that end, we will send observer missions to monitor the situation on all fronts with the supreme commanders of your countries on the front lines. If we find that there are legions that are passively resisting, we will stop supplying ammunition, and if we find that there are legions that have secretly surrendered to the genetics, our expeditionary force will mercilessly destroy them. ”

Because of the urgency of time, the joint meeting that brought together the three southern countries ended quickly, and Kapok declined the invitation to the luncheon of the king of Gudi on the grounds of official urgency.

Under the protection of the four guards, Kapok took the lead out of the hall and went straight to the chariot amid the respectful parting voices of everyone, while Setsusheng stayed behind and walked out of the hall with the envoy of the Southland Kingdom, and then the two whispered in a secluded place before parting.

Jiesheng stepped into the chariot, the doors closed, and the chariot drove out of the palace compound in full view, and then drove across the suspension bridge into the new city of the ancient city.

Under the guidance of Jiesheng, the chariot quickly drove away from an avenue and directly through a meadow, and then drove to a deep mansion compound. Because the gate of the courtyard was not only open, but also open enough, the chariot ignored the guards dancing and shouting and drove directly into the compound.

The two security guards guarding the gate drew their swords from their waists and shouted and rushed towards the chariot, but when they saw Setsuo appear at the door of the car, the expressions on their faces immediately changed from fierce to surprised.

Then a group of armed men rushed out of the house, and when they saw what was in front of them, they immediately stopped running.

The leader was a strong man of the same age, and the most striking thing about him was that there were two red scars on his green face, one on the left and one on the right.

He stepped forward and shouted at Jiesheng, "Hey, Brother Jiesheng, why did you come back so quickly? You brought that iron-hulled boatcar? ”

Jiesheng didn't answer and asked, "Brother Tielei, are the two bosses at home?"

"We're all at home, and we've been talking about the old town in the living room! Brother Jiesheng, you..."

"Good!" Jiesheng interrupted Tie Lei's words, "Let your people close the courtyard gate, don't let the idle people come in and get close to this iron-hulled car, and we will talk about other things after meeting the two bosses." ”

After Jiesheng finished speaking, he shouted into the car door: "Lord Wang, General Yagu, come out!"

In the living room sat two green-faced men who looked about the same age as Yaya, and their first impression was that of two well-dressed and well-groomed successful businessmen.

When Kapok Zi met, there was no trace of the voice and smile of the two princes who were martyred back then, and these two princes changed their names and surnames in Xizhou after the country was ruined and started a business, and now outsiders only know that they are the big boss and the second boss of the Qizhou Chamber of Commerce.

When Jiesheng introduced the visitors to the two bosses, they could hardly believe that it was true, and when they were convinced that Jiesheng was not joking, they immediately cheered like children seeing their favorite toys.

Several people greeted each other enthusiastically, and then sat in the spacious living room while drinking health tea while detailing what happened after the farewell of Blue Fog Mountain.

After talking about the past, Jiesheng then explained in detail the reason and experience of Kapok Zi and Yagu coming to Xizhou this time, and the two former princes sighed.

Ming sighed to Kapok: "Messenger of the Heavenly King, Kedi and I have never given up the dream of recovering the country, but we keep in mind the teachings of the medicine immortal: you can't act against the way of heaven, so although we have been developing our strength in the form of a chamber of commerce in Xizhou, because the Qizhou Empire has not had civil strife in the past twenty years, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so we can only wait patiently for business and wait for the opportunity." ”

Ming turned his face to Jiesheng and said, "Brother Jiesheng, will the information brought by the Heavenly King's envoy indicate that the Heavenly Dao has changed, and we are going to do something?" ”

Jiesheng said solemnly: "Two elder brothers, the way of heaven that the medicine immortal said refers to the right of survival of the common people in the world. The people of the sea want to deprive us land people of the right to live against the heavens, so we take the lead in the rebellion for the heavens, and the forces that the two brothers have worked hard for twenty years can come in handy this time.

Although the prince's prairie will do its best to support Xizhou, after all, it is separated by thousands of miles of oceans, and its transportation capacity is limited. Moreover, the undersea gene people may launch a big war to attack Xizhou at any time, so the two elder brothers must act immediately and quickly form a group of Qizhou Chamber of Commerce disciples to join our expeditionary force, and the prince will equip our Chamber of Commerce Legion with the most advanced weapons and equipment, however, the two elder brothers will have to bear other military expenses. ”

"Brother Ming, our chance to show our true colors as heroes has finally come!" Ke said excitedly.

Although the first meeting with the two Chizhou princes was more than twenty years later, Kapok soon found that Kebi was obviously more passionate, and when it came to the upcoming battle, Ming's expression was a little nervous, but Ke seemed very excited.

Kapok Zi said with a smile: "If Boss Ke is willing to lead troops to fight, please ask the military advisor to arrange a suitable position in the expeditionary force." ”

Ming Wenyan hurriedly said: "No, no, Kedi can't leave here, the war is coming, and there are more things in the Chamber of Commerce." Rest assured, the Heavenly King's envoy, we will definitely obey the orders of you and General Yaya, and do all the work according to the requirements of the elder brother Jiesheng. ”

Jiesheng smiled at Kapokzi and said, "The prince doesn't know, the two bosses of them are the two pillars of the Qizhou Chamber of Commerce, and one is indispensable. They led the merchants of the Qizhou Chamber of Commerce distributed all over Xizhou to fully support the anti-Japanese war in Xizhou, and their role was no less than the combat effectiveness of the 20 corps. ”

Yagu, who has rarely spoken, interjected: "What the military advisor said is true, the military book says: The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the logistics support of our expeditionary force after arriving in Xizhou will rely on the full support of the two bosses. ”

Ke said to Kapok Zi with a serious expression: "Messenger of the Heavenly King, the war that is about to start is related to the survival of our land people, and our Qizhou Chamber of Commerce will do everything to support your expeditionary force, but when it comes to commanding the war on the front line, the senior brother of Jiesheng is the best candidate." ”

Jiesheng smiled: "There is also good news to tell you, Jiesheng found another senior brother today!" ”
