In less than half a month, the rest of the ethnic groups knew that the second batch of auspicious goods had arrived, and the people of all ethnic groups happily exchanged the goods, lively and happy.

During this period, not only Wang Xuan, but even the military did not find anything wrong, and everyone was still very useful for the popularity of trade.

After Zifeng and the others arrived, they were asked to anchor and unload their goods on the edge of Shenlong Island.

The government led people to set up checkpoints there, and with the prosperity of the people, the goods were unloaded quickly.

Before he and Hu Yu could figure it out, the two were forced to 'part ways' by the military.

Hu Yu was responsible for the construction of the cargo wharf, while Zifeng was responsible for the construction of the military port wharf.

Counting some soldiers and laborers, there is nothing to do with the natives at all, which makes the two of them muttered in their hearts, and it seems that they are serious.

At this time, Liu Liu's words sounded in the ears of the two, "Always prepare for the kingdom." ”

Now, the two have calmed down.

I don't want to think about generals or fleets anymore.

What they have to do is to fulfill military orders perfectly.

The auspicious military law is a bit special, what is the way it is formulated, what is the result of the need, and there is no room for bargaining.

Therefore, the two of them did not quarrel or make noise, and quietly started to supervise the work.

According to the requirements, Hu Yu divided Shenlong Island into districts and began to direct the workers to pave roads and build bridges.

Although I don't know the specific professional knowledge, I know the deployment of the base camp and implement it according to the established plan, and the supervisors of the Government Affairs Yuan are often on site to supervise the work.

He Long and He Huan temporarily set up a home near the login point on Shenlong Island, and the government set up tents and distributed mosquito coils, so they didn't have to worry about food and clothing for the time being.

In the next few days, I saw that the local relatively short and dark natives joined in, helping everyone to shovel and transport, and the relationship between the two sides soon became closer.

Xingyao people often take care of the natives with some food and drink, which makes the two sides close to each other.

"Your Majesty, in the past ten days, the local ten tribes have traded with us, which is surprisingly efficient, unless they have already prepared the goods and hid them nearby, otherwise ......" Wang Zhi and Liu Liu met Wang Xuan together.

The military and the government will not appear at the same time unless necessary.

This is not only a military regulation, but also a rule of the Government Council, a taboo, but a big deal.

"What's going on?"

Wang Xuan could feel the seriousness of the matter both inside and outside his words.

"Your Majesty, at first the military selected some people in the army who looked like the locals, and scattered them out to obtain first-hand information, but now according to the feedback information, the situation is not good. Liu Liudao.

"The Government Council has also received a report, telling us to be careful of the southwest direction. Wang Zhi answered.

It was planned for the intelligence system to be spilled out, but the Government Council also received feedback, which is a bit abnormal.

The intelligence system is subordinate to the military and the royal family, and it stands to reason that the government has no right to intervene, so where does the 'feedback' come from?

"How?"

Wang Xuan asked Wang Zhi, this is a big deal.

Wang Zhi obviously understood the seriousness of the matter, so he followed Liu Liu, who had a military background, to meet Wang Xuan.

"Your Majesty, early this morning, we picked up a letter written by a native at the gate of the base camp, and this is it, which tells us to strengthen our vigilance in the near future and beware of foreign invasions. ”

Wang Zhi handed over the letter to Yang Tao, and Yang Tao immediately handed it over to Wang Xuan.

Most of the content of the letter is easy to understand, saying that the arrival of the mascot has caused some people to be dissatisfied, and then the news is revealed to the invaders, according to the greedy nature of the invaders, I am afraid that a war is inevitable.

The person who wrote the letter made it clear that the invaders had learned about the mascot and were now plotting a new plan of action.

"How credible is what is said in this letter?" It's not that Wang Xuan is suspicious, but that things happened strangely, and he couldn't solve the confusion in his heart without asking a clear question.

Wang Zhidao: "From the analysis of handwriting, this kind of writing is in line with the writing habits of the local aborigines, unless someone deliberately imitates it, otherwise it cannot be faked in general." ”

"Unless it's a deliberate imitation?"

There is no reason for the Xingyao people to do this, and only the natives have the ability to do this, Wang Xuan is convinced of this, those great white sharks and vipers are not ornaments.

Wang Xuan's four fingers of his right hand tapped on the tabletop, which was closed and meditating.

"You mean, about ten days after the arrival of the fleet, all the ten clans had the first round of trade with us?" Wang Xuan's eyes widened, and his expression was a little hideous.

"Fifteen days, to be exact. Wang Zhi responded.

According to the original peasant people, according to the normal walking speed, it is about 15 days to walk from north to south.

This is also confirmed by the military, and further south are the high mountain cliffs and the sea.

Then from the day of the arrival of the cargo ships of the second round of auspicious trade, it will be about 30 days at the earliest, and the ten clans will complete the first round of trade one after another.

Now half a month earlier than the actual situation, then there is only one explanation.

"I'm afraid that the intruders really knew about our existence, and the reason why they didn't attack us was because they wanted to find out the details of us. ”

"Just like we're trying to get to the bottom of them?" Wang Zhi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, there is only one explanation. ”

Wang Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes full of worry, "There are traitors in these ten clans, and they have reported to the invaders. ”

Everyone has guessed this judgment, and now from Wang Xuan's mouth, it is true.

Now that the infrastructure of Shenlong Island has just started, if the invaders attack on a large scale with the help of some natives, the base camp will be very difficult to deal with.

This is not in the plans of the mascot.

According to the original idea, even if the intruder learns of the existence of the mascot, he will not rashly launch an attack, and it should be based on tentative communication.

This will buy at least a month for auspiciousness, and both advance and retreat can be arranged calmly.

But now that someone has informed this news in letters, it is certain that the invaders have already grasped a considerable part of the information of the mascot, and they are planning to cross the temptation link and launch a direct attack.

"Is there a change in the military guard?" Wang Xuan suddenly asked anxiously.

"Nope. Liu Liudao.

"Okay, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, try to keep the same externally, prepare for war mobilization internally, and withdraw non-combatants and materials to Shenlong Island as much as possible. ”

"Yes, now that the base camp is under martial law, only entry and exit are allowed, and there will not be too many idle people who want to come outside. ”

Although Liu Liu said so, Wang Xuan's heart was beating hard.

Careless, I really hope this letter is a prank, otherwise Jixiang can only temporarily retreat in this area north of Shenlong Island.

It doesn't matter, the key is that it will discourage the enthusiasm of businessmen.

"Is there enough artillery in the base camp?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this time I brought a hundred four-inch guns, and the defense is worry-free. It's just that the scope of more than 10,000 acres of land is too scattered, and we can only defend the surrounding area. ”

Liu Liu's words are right, and Wang Xuan can understand them, so he is not dissatisfied.

"Is there enough food?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the current grain stock support will not be a problem until the end of the year, but if there is a war, nearly half of the land will not be able to be cultivated and planted, and only more than 1,000 acres in the north of the base camp will be harvested, and I am afraid that it will be very tight in the coming year. ”

Wang Zhi made it clear that within the range of the artillery, it was the territory of the auspicious man, and the land leading to Shenlong Island in the north was hidden behind the base camp, safe and secure for the time being.

The other three sides of the land are difficult to take care of, and no one knows what it will grow into when no one takes care of it.

"Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to return to the auspicious seat. ”

Wang Zhi was relieved, no matter what aspect it was, Wang Xuan was not suitable to stay here, this was a decision he made after discussing with Liu Liu for a long time.

"Please return to auspicious sitting, Your Majesty. Liu Liu also changed his image in the past and was commensurate with a monarch and a minister.

"How can I leave at this time, don't talk about it, jumping beam clown, how dare you be an enemy of auspiciousness. ”

Just as Wang Xuan's words fell, Yang Tao behind him slammed down with a knife, and he collapsed like a noodle.

"Commander Yang, leave quickly with Your Majesty, the matter is out of control, I'm afraid this battle is, I'm afraid it's more than lucky!"

Liu Liu saw that Wang Xuan was paralyzed, so he wanted Yang Tao to take him first, so that he could stay behind.

"Commissar Wang, Commander Liu, is the matter really so serious?"

Although Yang Tao had knocked Wang Xuan unconscious, it was in the big picture, but if he really wanted him to leave with His Majesty the King, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

"I have made arrangements on the side of the fleet, four warships, two supply ships and other transport ships will return together, as for what to do in the future, I will wait for His Majesty to wake up. ”

Liu Liu knew Wang Xuan's style, and he had no choice but to do such an extreme thing, no matter what happened afterwards, he was afraid that his fate would not be much better.

Yang Tao's move is also to put him to death and come back to life, which is tantamount to rebellion.

No matter what, as long as he doesn't dare to rebel, then his fate is probably no better than Liu Liu.

Shaking his head and putting these thoughts out of his mind, Yang Tao said: "Since the matter is urgent, I will leave with Your Majesty, and the girl in the courtyard will also ask the Grand Commander to pick her up......"

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it. Your Majesty's safety is above all else, Zifeng will protect Your Majesty against auspiciousness, Hu Yu will stay guarded, I only hope that the other party will leave room in this battle, otherwise this good situation will be buried. ”

In mid-October, Zifeng received an urgent order from the military to lead a detachment to return to Jixiang with a large number of merchants.

Officially, it is necessary to clean up the islands of dangerous species, and because they are highly contagious, it is necessary to reduce the population density and prevent infection.

The merchants complained about this result, but they also had to step on the merchant ship back to Kyrgyzstan.

Fortunately, the government of the southern mainland carefully considered and announced the plan for leasing the island, which made the merchants' journey more seasoned and not so monotonous.

"Owner, our return ticket is free. ”

Han'er was worried about the ticket money, and she didn't do anything during the time she came to the Southern Continent, except for blowing the sea breeze, just watching the fish pond dry up.

It's easy to make a plan, which makes the big guy go back, I really don't know what to do.

"I don't blame you, this is the government's decision, let's do it, thanks to the government and His Majesty, what are you afraid of. ”

He Huan saw it clearly, he vaguely guessed that something uncontrollable was happening, but he would not spread it, he only hoped that this matter could pass as soon as possible and let everything return to calm.

Wang Xuan rubbed his drowsy head, and when his hand touched the bruise on the back of his head, the person was not good.

"This is, on the boat? Yang Tao, what are you going to do?"
