Chapter 144: Thousand Song Kingdom
The original intention of the Yue Kingdom to support the establishment of the Thousand Song Dynasty was only to attack the Southern Qi. "Words * love * first * hair change
However, because of the special location of Qiansong, it is located between the Moon Country, the Grassland Country, and the Southern Qi Kingdom, and it has become the first barrier for the Moon Kingdom to guard against the Grassland Country.
In order to fight against the Grassland State, the Moon Kingdom spared no effort to support the Thousand Song Dynasty, not only providing material support, but also often sending troops to help defend against the Grassland and Southern Qi Kingdoms.
The two countries have been as close as brothers for nearly two hundred years, and in fact, in addition to having complete autonomy and not having to pay tribute to the Moon Kingdom, the Thousand Song Kingdom is already equivalent to a vassal of the Moon Kingdom.
The Southern Qi Kingdom was originally extremely dissatisfied with the division and rule of the Thousand Song Dynasty, but after the intervention of the Yue Kingdom, it had become extremely difficult to recover the Thousand Song Kingdom, and the price they paid was not very willing to bear.
Moreover, the Southern Qi also found that there were thousands of Song Dynasty in the southwest to defend the grassland country, and their borders were not only much quieter, but they could also save a military expenditure every year.
So gradually acquiesced to this status quo.
The closest castle to Chisama is Heijo in the northwest corner of the Tsukikoku Kingdom.
At this time, in this border city with a garrison of more than 200,000 troops, Zhenxi General Ye Qian sat facing a young man.
Ye Qian is Ye Hong's father, twenty years ago he was just an unknown ordinary leader in the Moon Kingdom, and the only thing worth mentioning is that he served in the Moon King Duxian City.
He was able to become the general of Zhenxi and become the No. 2 real power figure in the military department, in the eyes of many people, it was entirely because he made a contribution to the current Moon King when he ascended the throne.
But only those who really know the inside story know that he did not become the general of Zhenxi overnight, but rose step by step, although he improved faster than ordinary people.
The current Moon King is not stupid, it is not easy to sit under him for more than ten years, and there has never been much change in the northwest border for more than ten years, which is enough to show that this General Ye Qian is not an ordinary person.
At this time, sitting opposite this General Ye was his eldest son Ye Cheng.
On the table in front of them was a palm-sized note taken from a sealed cylinder.
Ye Qian urged his spiritual power to crush the note into powder, and asked lightly, "You have finished reading His Majesty's secret order."
Ye Cheng, who looked to be in his early twenties on the other side, nodded and replied calmly: "I've finished reading."
"What do you think should be done?"
"All-out rescue"
"But this matter must not be made in a big way, otherwise His Highness and Hong'er will be prone to accidents, which is why His Majesty has notified us with a secret order."
"I know, but I know even more that the Northeast is already the Prince's territory. β
"This kind of thing is not something you and I can talk about"
"You are too cautious, and the reason why Your Majesty has given us full authority to deal with this matter is already obvious. The incident happened in the school city in the northeast.,He didn't use the Northeast Frontier Army.,Instead, use the Northwest Army 40,000 miles away.,He obviously also knows that even if His Royal Highness is rescued by that side, it's still not out of danger.γ β
"In Your Opinion"
Ye Cheng said in a deep voice: "I will take five hundred elite horsemen, and I will rush to the northeast day and night." β
"With so many people, it will arouse the hostility of the Northeast Army, after all, the Northeast is their territory"
"Not much at all, seven days have passed since the incident. When I arrive in the northeast, it would be best if His Royal Highness the Prince had already been out of trouble, otherwise at that time, no matter which side they fell into, these five hundred elite horsemen would not be much."
Ye Qian pondered for a moment before bowing slightly: "You go and prepare"
Although they talked about Yue Luoning's abduction, the two did not mention the two hijackers throughout.
In the eyes of the two at this time, although those two people hijacked His Highness, they were only small characters. What really determines the direction of this event is those big people, it is Prince Liangyue, and it is the game between the major forces such as Nanqi, Qingchuan, and Tianhe.
Those two people will only be crushed soon under the mutual pressure of these forces.
They also had no idea that Ye Cheng's worries had come true. Prince Liangyue, who was 40,000 miles away, had already known about Yue Luoning's robbery, and was even sending people to hunt them down.
At this time, the northeast border is a different scene.
Prince Liangyue, who was sealed in Yancheng, was not in his territory at this time, he was in Jingcheng, the core of the northeast border army.
Jingcheng General's Mansion, in the study of Xue Xuan, the supreme commander of the entire Northeast Border Army.
At this time, the person sitting in the main seat of the study was not Xue Xuan, as the number one person in the Northeast Frontier Army, he sat next to him.
The thin middle-aged man sitting on the main seat was Prince Liangyue.
But it's still incomprehensible.
Although Prince Liangyue's title is extremely high, he does not have much power in his hands, his fief is only hundreds of miles around Yancheng, and the number of private troops in his hands shall not exceed 1,000 according to the laws of the Moon Kingdom.
Even if his 1,000 people were all cultivators of the Transit Yuan Realm, his status and power in the Moon Kingdom Dynasty could not be compared to Xue Xuan, who was in charge of hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army and had heavy troops.
Xue Xuan is a powerful figure in the Moon Kingdom, and he is not at all comparable to him, a prince who has been idle and cast.
But what happened in front of me was so incredible.
Although Prince Liangyue, who was sitting in the main seat, did not command, and although Xue Xuan, who was sitting in the second seat, was not humble and flattering, as long as the people who saw the scene in front of them could see the master-slave relationship between them.
In addition to them, there was a third person in the study.
This man was long, dressed in a gray robe, covered with a gray hooded cloak, and a face was deeply hidden inside the hat, and only the eyes that did not flash a complicated look behind the gray mask could be seen.
This person is still dressed like this in the study, and if others see it, they will definitely think that they are disrespectful to themselves.
However, Prince Liangyue and Xue Xuan turned a blind eye to this.
There were three people in the room, and this person was the first to speak.
"Your information is accurate, Luo Ning was kidnapped, and he was forced into the Qushan Grand Canyon."
His voice seemed a little old, just like his eyes that showed vicissitudes from time to time.
Prince Liangyue, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded and affirmed: "It's true, the abduction of Yue Luoning was not supposed to be rumored, but four days ago, a secret guard suddenly came to the door and told me that Yue Luoning was kidnapped at the Holy Moon Academy, and it is likely that he will be forced to leave the Moon Country, please prepare for the rescue."
The man in gray asked, "What about the guard?"
Prince Liangyue smiled and replied calmly, "I killed you." β
The gray-clothed man seemed to have already guessed the result, and there was no surprise in his eyes, he did not ask why Prince Liangyue was so bold, and how to face the anger of the Moon King if the matter was revealed.
It seems that the three people in the study are not worried about this qiΔ.
The man in gray just continued to ask, "Why didn't you catch them when you found their traces?"
Speaking of this, Prince Liangyue was also quite annoyed.
"After Yue Luoning took the initiative to expose his whereabouts, my subordinates were too eager and careless, and scared him and Ye Hong's kid away. β
"You didn't send people to hunt down this is your territory, and it is impossible for them to escape with their little cultivation."
"Of course, when we got the news, we quickly sent 50,000 troops to surround that radius of thirty miles. Not to mention the living, even the birds can't fly out."
The man in gray said lightly: "But they still escaped"
"It's all because of those damn black scarf thieves, they were operating in that area at the time, and they were used by Yue Luoning's boys. β
The gray-clothed man said with deep meaning in his eyes: "Heh, the black scarf thief has an unclear relationship with you, otherwise even if these horse thieves are powerful, they will not be so rampant."
Prince Liangyue did not lose his temper because of this heart-wrenching words, but picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.
"You can't talk nonsense. Putting down the teacup, he said indifferently.
"The terrain of the Qushan Grand Canyon is complex, and there are five or six level demonic beasts infested, once they escape into the depths, then you have no way to surround and kill them. β
"Yes, although they escaped into the depths, they also died, but I can't pin my hopes on those monsters. β
"No trace of them has been found"
"I was chasing it all the time, but there was an accident. β
"As far as I know, Yue Luoning and Ye Hong's cultivation is only in the early and middle stages of the Yuan Realm, and the strength of the chasing troops under you is so poor"
"At that time, I had three Yuan Realm under my command who had been closely following the front in the late stage, but the other party was not only Yue Luoning and Ye Hong, those two robbers were also helping them"
The man in gray was obviously a little incomprehensible, and asked in amazement: "They and Yue Luoning should be enemies, why would they help him, are they still naΓ―ve enough to think that they can atone for their sins in this way?"
"Maybe it was Yue Luoning who moved them. β
"What is the strength of those two According to the intelligence, they are no more than fifteen years old, even if the four of them join forces, can they still block your three Yuan Realm subordinates, even if they block it, it will be a struggle, can't the others under your command catch up?"
Prince Liangyue said: "Those two people, according to the current investigation in the school city, are suspected to be two students wearing hoods from the Holy Cloud Academy, and their specific names and identities have not yet been confirmed." β
"What kind of head cover student" The man in gray obviously didn't hear of the small fight that happened in the school city some time ago.
Prince Liangyue picked up a thin dossier from the table and handed it to him, "This is the information of several shots by those two hooded people. β
The man in gray took the dossier that recorded the experience of the tiger-headed man and the fox-headed man four times before and after attacking in front of people, and then looked at it carefully.
This dossier depicts the situation in great detail.
Every time the two hooded people shot an hour before and an hour after the shot, the situation at the scene was abnormal. The dialogue before the shot, the tone of voice, the approximate power of each move and style when the shot, the effect that can be caused, and the reactions of the surrounding crowd are all recorded.
If Lin Si saw this dossier, he would definitely feel creepy.
If those students in the school city saw the scene in front of them, they would definitely be dumbfounded. Although they are very concerned about the hooded people, they also know that this is just a small fight between students, where is it worthy of being mentioned by characters like Prince Liangyue and Xue Xuan.
Not to mention putting them on such a detailed dossier analysis.
The room was silent for a while, Prince Liangyue and Xue Xuan had obviously read this dossier, and they were just waiting quietly for the gray-clothed man at this time.
After a long time, the man in gray put down the file.
"According to this file, these two hooded people are indeed likely to be the two young robbers, but their strength is probably not even comparable to the Yuan Realm, and they are only able to barely defeat the early stage of the Yuan Realm with their superb combat ability. β
Prince Liangyue nodded: "That's right, according to the dossier, it is true. β
"This kind of strength, not to mention how they managed to kidnap Yue Luoning, and get rid of the dark guard all the way here. Even if they join forces with Yueluo Ning and Ye Hong, they can stop your three subordinates in the late Yuan Realm."
"I can have someone come here and tell it myself. Prince Liangyue said and clapped his hands outward
