Du Sheng has a stinky problem, that is, he always likes to sing against others, he looked at He Liang who looked confident, and couldn't help but retort: "How do you know that people are here to take advantage of the situation?" What if these people also come to ransom people and ships with us? ”

Previously, after the two of them captured the city of Inpo, there were some Nantianzhu merchants who came to ransom the ship, because the things transported on the ship were cumbersome and not very valuable, Du Sheng also promised those merchants to take money to ransom, and now the Pandians, who also belong to the subject country of Nantianzhu, are not without this possibility.

As a partner who grew up with Du Sheng since childhood, of course He Liang knew about his stinky problem, so he just smiled and shook his head: "Of course I know this, I haven't run the Western sea route for nothing over the years!" Although this Pandia country is a subject country of Nan Tianzhu, it has been a little bad with Nan Tianzhu over the years! ”

After beckoning people to open the Western sea charts and maps of various countries that he had led the fleet to survey and map over the years, He Liang pointed to the Tianzhu Continent, which was divided into blocks, and said to Du Sheng: "You see, Tianzhu has been a dispute among countries since the fall of the Qiduo Dynasty!" ”

"West Tianzhu, North Tianzhu and East Tianzhu are now competing for power among the countries, not to mention fighting around a Fahrenheit city, and this South Tianzhu, also known as the Zhu Yuan country, is a big power in the south, and the city we occupy now is the southernmost port of South Tianzhu, but the place further south is not the land of South Tianzhu!

Further south, this small peninsula was divided into two smaller countries, called Jerrean and Pandia! Both of these countries are powerful countries in Southern Tianzhu.

The country of Zheluo, located on the west coast, has been rich in recent years by virtue of its advantage of being in the east-west sea trade transit, and because the country is the weakest, and there are mountains behind it, it is relatively peaceful and indisputable, while Pandia, which is located on the east coast, is a little different!

They were already across the sea from the Lion Kingdom of Ceylon in the east, and the number of merchants who stayed here to do business was even greater, and in the past two years, Pandia's national strength has grown very rapidly, and its lord is also extremely ambitious, and has repeatedly had friction with Nantianzhu's army because he has not paid the full tribute! ”

Du Sheng couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this: "This Pandia is quite tough!" Even Nan Tianzhu dared to provoke them like this! ”

As one of the four powerful countries in Tianzhu, Nantianzhu has nearly 200,000 standing troops, of which there are no less than 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers in the most elite elephant army, and the whole country has more than 100,000 war elephants.

In addition, the territory of South Tianzhu is also very vast, and thanks to the climate in the southern part of the Deccan Plateau, which is very suitable for agricultural production, it feeds a large number of people, and once it reaches a critical moment, it can even form an army of nearly one million.

Don't look at Du Sheng's pursuit and elimination of the Nantianzhu Navy besieging him this time, and he took the opportunity to capture Inpo City, looted it on a large scale, and even set a fire to completely burn it down, but all this is because Du Sheng has no fear.

Because He Liang was in the West, Du Sheng knew that most of the troops of Southern Tianzhu were now concentrated in the northern border, and they were fighting a war with a branch of the Lapchite people, the Shalouqi people, who were gradually becoming stronger.

In addition to the fact that there are Shalou people who are fighting a war with Nantianzhu, because of the ambition of the king of Nantianzhu, the corpse Linara Sangha Bao Duozhima, he is also bent on intervening in the battle for Fahrenheit City in the north, so the relatively powerful Eastern Tianzhu Kingdom has always been very hostile to Nantianzhu.

Of course, the North Tianzhu in the Ganges River Basin and the West Tianzhu in the Xindu River Basin are all easy to provoke, especially in the past two years, the Huns who originally occupied the Hezhong region have been constantly moving south to the interior of Tianzhu because of the strong attack of the Turks and the siege of the Persians.

These culprits who destroyed the Qiduo Dynasty have now established many large and small countries in the upper reaches of the Xindu River such as Gandhara, and are still constantly plundering the countries of Tianzhu, and they will run to Nantianzhu when they don't know when.

With so many powerful threats in the north and such a powerful country in the containment, Nan Tianzhu was simply unable to mobilize all his forces to attack Du Sheng, not to mention that Xia Guoyuan was far away in the East China Sea and did not border with him, so he didn't have to worry about being retaliated against by Nan Tianzhu.

There is only one Pearl Islands in the Western Ocean, and there is a distant sea between it and Nantianzhu, so that even if the strength of the Nantianzhu people is strong, they can't retaliate against themselves, if they just send the Nantianzhu Navy to fight, it is just to send food to themselves, Du Sheng is still more conceited.

Of course, these are all said to Du Sheng before, but for the Pandians, the situation is completely different, as the southern neighbor of Nantianzhu, they not only have to face the powerful Nantianzhu around them, but also have the same language and species on the side Zheluo may stab him in the back at any time.

It is such a dangerous situation, they even dare to contradict the suzerain, Nan Tianzhu, and even dare to fight each other, Du Sheng praised in his heart It is really kind! I just don't know what the Pandians came to see me for this time.

Thinking of this, Du Sheng smiled at He Liang and said: "He Dalang, I really want to meet these brave Pandians, and I don't know what these people have in mind!" "Thousands of troops

When the soldiers who had reported before came to the cabin where He Liang was with two men who looked like Nantianzhu, the sky was gradually darkening, so a dozen thick butter waxes were lit in the cabin.

In the past, this kind of butter wax was not a cheap product, and some families couldn't afford to use it at all, but now this thing has become extremely cheap because of the large-scale storage of cattle and sheep in the East China Sea, so He Liang doesn't think there is anything.

Because these things have become a common item in the homes of ordinary people in the East China Sea, and even because of the rapid development of a large number of bee breeding in the land of Beji, even the beeswax that used to be relatively scarce has begun to become less valuable than before, and some wealthy people in the East China Sea even begin to light beeswax or whale oil candles at night.

Now in comparison, He Liang is still a little thrifty, of course, He Liang is not only in the spirit of saving, but also because he used it a lot in the past, he has become more accustomed to, and even likes to use this kind of butter wax.

More than a dozen butter waxes are placed on the candlesticks of high and low according to the optical principle, and the positions are the best positions that can maximize the formation of complementarity, and then use mirrors to reflect the light in some key positions in the upper room, which is particularly bright.

The constantly beating flames of the thick candles 'crackled', and they also plated He Liang, Du Sheng, and more than a dozen armored guards in the cabin with a layer of bronze-like color.

Especially those soldiers were all Du Sheng's personal entourage, all of them were strong men with a tall horse, and now they were equipped with a suit of iron-inlaid fish scale leather armor, and they carried a three-foot-five-inch Bailian horizontal knife around their waists, which made the two Pandians who had just entered the door suddenly feel extremely nervous.

He Liang and Du Sheng stared at the two Tianzhu people who walked in, but they just sat there safely and didn't say hello, and no one else paid attention to them, this kind of coldness was greatly unexpected by the Tianzhu people, maybe they didn't expect to be treated with this kind of cold reception.

He Liang didn't change his clothes before meeting the two of them, and he still sat cross-legged in the silk robe.

Du Sheng was tied up with his hair up, wearing a short leather shoulder, shirtless with arm guards, and also sitting cross-legged next to He Liang, while his right hand with a wrist guard was still rotating a sharp dagger, and his black face was blown by the sea breeze with a fierce look.

He Liang and Du Sheng deliberately put on this appearance, and of course the other dozen or so guards also had to cooperate with the atmosphere, and they all put on a look of wanting to kill, staring at the two Pandia men with fierce eyes, and they had the momentum of killing if they didn't agree.

One of the two Pandia men was a young man in his twenties, the young man was dressed in the classic aristocratic costume of Nantianzhu, he was much taller than the ordinary Nantianzhu people, and his complexion was fairer.

Although it is not as white as the descendants of the northern Kushan, or the Brahmin and Kshatriya class of other northern Tianzhu countries, it is already very white here in the southern Tianzhu, where most of the people are of the dark-skinned race, and it seems that there should be some Aryan blood.

Another Nantianzhu man is a middle-aged man of about forty years old with a beard, not to mention the short stature, and his complexion is much darker than the young man just now, with black and curly hair and a flat nose, all prove that this is a Dravidian.

After entering the door, the middle-aged man was obviously taken aback by the posture put on by He Liang and Du Sheng, but this person reacted quickly, clasped his hands together and saluted respectfully, and said a big call in his mouth.

This made Du Sheng, who originally wanted to hear what these two people had to say, suddenly confused, and he scolded in a low voice: "Doesn't this fucking person speak?" ”

However, although he couldn't understand what the two people were saying, Du Shengguang looked at the expression and movements of the middle-aged man, and knew that this person must have said something again, but after the middle-aged man finished speaking, the young man dressed as a nobleman behind him did not say anything.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and said a lot to the young man, but the young man still didn't say anything, just stood there and carefully looked at He Liang and Du Sheng, who were also looking at him, but the three looked at each other but no one spoke.

The middle-aged Pandia man saw that He Liang and Du Sheng were still sitting there with a straight face and not saying a word, and the master behind him also refused to speak, so he didn't dare to say anything more, and quietly pushed it aside, but the slippery little eyes turned faster than anyone else.

He Liang looked at the two of them carefully, and when he looked at the dress, he knew that this young man was the one with the highest status, but this young man dressed as a nobleman was obviously looking for him, and he must have something to ask for him, but he was so arrogant that he was really speechless.

Thinking of this, He Liang smiled and opened his mouth with a 'grunt' mouth.
