Three seagoing ships were driving in the storms of the South China Sea, and their hulls shook violently, and they were in danger of capsizing at any time.

On the largest ship, Mentu stood slightly behind the center of the hull and took the helm himself.

This is their sixteenth day at sea, all the way to the southwest, on the way to the southwest encountered several storms, more than a dozen crew members unfortunately fell overboard, died in the belly of the fish.

After a pouring rain, the sky finally cleared.

Meng Tu and the crew let out a long breath, and suddenly someone shouted: "Look, there is a big white mist in front of you." ”

He hurriedly looked up, and the white fog covered a wide area, everywhere he looked.

Taking out the ancient book in his pocket, his eyes flashed with surprise, and said: "We have finally found the realm of mist, brothers, don't be afraid, those in front are just mist, there is no danger." ”

The isolated island that I am looking for on this trip is in the misty realm, and it is one step closer to success.

Among the crew, many of them were Western barbarian generals, and when they heard Meng Tu's words, they all showed joy.

It's just that no one knows what kind of danger awaits them next.

......

The imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, the early dynasty.

"Report!" A soldier of the Royal Forest Army in armor held a red feather in his hand, quickly climbed the steps, and shouted as he ran: "The Great Qin Ghost Face Legion has conquered the Chirong garrison, and the King of Chirong has died in battle......

The ministers all looked at each other, and the movement of the opposing legion was too fast, in just a few months, the three major tribes of Lan Di, Ma Rong and Chi Rong were dealt with one after another, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time to completely take down Rong Di.

You must know that according to the analysis of the military and intelligence departments of the Han Dynasty, if Daqin wants to win this battle, it will take at least one to two years, or even longer.

The Ghost Face Legion has to pay at least about half of the casualties, and the tax revenue of the three years of Great Qin is all pasted as military expenses, which may not be enough.

But now, the number of casualties of the Devil-Faced Legion is less than 200,000, and it has only taken a year of tax burden, and the war is about to end.

An official of the Ministry of War whispered: "Do you know why this situation happened, it is because not long ago, the Bai Di people sent troops to destroy Bian Rong, and the three major tribes of Rong Di became two, and King Bai Di refused to send troops to rescue Chi Rong, which led to the destruction of Chi Rong at the hands of the Ghost Face Army. ”

Li Fuchen happened to pass by here, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Lord Sun, what you just said is the truth?"

Master Sun hurriedly hugged his fist at him: "Every sentence is true." ”

Li Fuchen's heart is not right, he also received a letter from Li Zhong a few days ago, saying that everything is going well, King Bianrong has already formulated an assassination plan, and he has put it into action, if nothing else, Ye Yunyang will be killed soon.

He deliberately pretended to be suspicious, and asked: "Why do the Bai Di people target Bian Rong, shouldn't they be on the same front?"

Master Sun explained: "The specific situation is not too clear, I heard that it seems that the people of Bianrong killed the son of King Bai Di, and King Bai Di was angry and led a large army to destroy Bianrong. Prime Minister, if you want to know more about the inside story, you might as well ask His Royal Highness the Prince, he has information sent by Wu Yinghou, Wu Yinghou is in Baidi, and he knows this matter best. ”

Li Fuchen frowned: "Wu Yinghou is still in Baidi?"

Lord Sun first nodded, then immediately shook his head, and said: "It's no longer there, because King Bai Di didn't send troops to aid Chi Rong, Wu Yinghou fell out with him, and led the team to leave Bai Di on the spot, and now he is stationed on the border of Han Rong and continues to pay attention to the Rong Di war." ”

Li Fuchen smiled faintly and walked forward.

When no one was around, his face became ugly.

Ye Yunyang didn't die, and he withdrew from Bai Di's station, what happened to King Bianrong, he didn't complete the task.

And this guy Li Zhong, since Bian Rong has been destroyed, why don't you come back quickly.

No, was Bian Rong killed before he made a move on Ye Yunyang, or after?

Thinking of this, a cold sweat appeared on his forehead!

Also, the mission is obviously to assassinate Ye Yunyang, why is it that the son of King Bai Di is dead, and Li Zhong will not have fallen into Ye Yunyang's hands, right?

He was so distraught that he decided to go to the prince to find out the situation.

Half an hour later, the Prince's East Palace.

"That's right, the Bianrong people wanted to assassinate Marquis Wuying, but they mistakenly killed the prince of Baidi, Lu Zhi, and King Baidi was angry and led an army of more than 300,000 to flatten Bianrong. The crown prince Liu Rong said in a normal tone: "King Bian Rong was killed on the spot, his younger brother Vice Marshal Lin fled alone, and Marquis Wu Ying is safe and sound! Prime Minister Li Cheng, is there anything else to ask?"

Li Fuchen's heart was half cold, and he shook his head and said: "No, when I heard the news that Wu Yinghou was safe and sound, the old minister was relieved." ”

"Really?" the prince raised his eyebrows: "Isn't the Prime Minister a grudge against Marquis Wu Ying, why do you care so much about his safety?"

The old guy said with a smile: "Since the last time His Majesty personally mediated, the old minister and Wu Yinghou have no grievances, he is the hero of our Han, as the prime minister, the old minister naturally has to care more." ”

The prince didn't believe it at all, but he still said: "The prime minister is open-minded, and this prince admires him very much." ”

The old minister didn't dare, there was nothing else, and the old minister retired. ”

......

Bai Di was stationed, and Lu Xun found a few subordinates who were familiar with Daqin and Dahan to come over and study what to do with his promotion ceremony.

From the construction of the altar to the sacrifice texts, costumes and so on, it can be said that it is comprehensive.

Luke walked in from outside, his attendant holding a stack of new clothes, and said, "Father, the official uniform of King Rongdi prepared for you is ready, and it is made with reference to the Seven Dragons Uniform at the level of Prince Dahan, you can try to see if it fits." ”

Lu Xun was very happy, and with the help of his generals, he took off his coat and put on the Seven Dragons Uniform.

This set of clothes is a bit different, how can the Rong Di people embroider, but they make a few things similar to pythons on their clothes, which are ugly and dull.

Fortunately, neither Lu Xuan nor Lu Ke had ever seen a real dragon robe, and they felt good about themselves.

After Lu Xun put on his clothes, he suddenly became angry and asked his son, "How is it?"

Luke gave a thumbs up: "What the Han people said is right, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and my father suddenly became imposing when he put on this set of clothes. ”

"Hahaha, this king feels the same way. The more Lu Xun looked at this set of clothes, the more he liked it, and said: "After my father is named the king of Rongdi, I will immediately make you the son of the world, and you will also get a set to wear when the time comes." ”

"Thank you, Father!" said Rook happily.

Lu Xun immediately said: "However, you are only the son of the king, and the dragon on your clothes cannot be the same as that of your father, according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, it seems that at least one less is required, right?"

Luke smiled and said, "It's okay to have two less, my son likes it just as much." ”

Now for their father and son, it can be said that everything is ready, and it is up to the Qin people to make their final statement.

According to the calculation of time, the messenger sent out will soon return.

Lu Xuan thought that this time it was a hand-to-hand capture, and there would be no accidents, so he asked his subordinates to prepare in advance and handle all the matters of the promotion ceremony.

"King Qiqi, the envoy sent to the Ghost Face Army has returned. ”

Lu Xun was overjoyed, waved his hand and said, "Quick, let the messenger come in and report." ”

"Yes!"

The so-called envoy is still the subordinate before Lu Zhi, the first time he went to see the ghost-faced horse and ate the closed door, the second time he received a very high standard of courtesy, considering that he had the experience of two missions, so this time Lu Xuan still sent him over.

As on the previous two occasions, the messenger was expressionless.

Lu Xun was a little unhappy, this guy is good anywhere, he can talk and do things, but it's not good at all, no matter what time he pulls a horse face, don't want to see joy, anger and sorrow on his face.

"How are things going, when will Emperor Qin's holy decree arrive?" asked Luke with some impatience.

The envoy's face stretched longer, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Emperor Qin won't send someone to announce the decree." ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Xun's eyes widened, and he asked rhetorically, "Why, haven't you been able to meet Lord Ghost-faced Pony?"

"I saw it, but he said......" The envoy paused, plucked up his courage and said, "He said that Great Qin did not accept Bai Di's intention of subordination. ”

The father and son were extremely surprised, how could this be, the ghost-faced horse didn't say that last time.

The subordinates next to him held their breath, and the tent became very quiet.

The messenger continued: "The ghost-faced horse also said that he will soon lead the army to conquer Bai Di, and he will ...... And ......"

"What else do you want, do you want to kill this king in a hurry, hurry up!" Lu Xun said angrily.

"He also wants to capture you and the little prince alive and present them to Emperor Qin as prisoners!"

Lu Xuan's chest churned, and if he hadn't suppressed it in time, it was estimated that a mouthful of blood would have spurted out.

But he still didn't believe it, frowned and said: "Last time, last time, the ghost-faced horse didn't say that, he said that as long as we Bai Di don't get involved in the war, we will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, how can we change the hexagram?"

The envoy smiled bitterly: "The humble official also questioned him like this, he said that it was only to stabilize Bai Di at that time, so he said so." Four of the five major clans of Rong Di have been wiped out, and the morale of the Ghost Face Legion is flourishing, of course, we must take advantage of the situation to destroy Bai Di, so as not to develop and grow in the future, and at that time, Daqin will still send troops to fight again, rather than that result, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots now. ”

"But we are honest and obedient!" said Luke, unconvinced.

"The ghost-faced horse said, I really can't believe us, saying that King Bai Di can betray even allies and fellow clansmen, and he will definitely betray Great Qin in the future, and he can't leave a future trouble. The messenger said cautiously.

Lu Xuan stretched out his hand to cover his heart, and took several steps backwards in succession until he hit a table.

"Father, are you alright?" said Luke, who hurriedly came over and asked.

The expression on Lu Xun's face was wonderful, regret, dare, bitter smile and helplessness.

The first thing he thought of was Ye Yunyang, before Lu Zhi was killed by the Bian Rong people, he had conveyed his words as they were, saying that once only Bai Di was left on the land of Rong Di, there would definitely be no good end, at least one companion should be united to fight against the Qin people together.

At that time, Lu Xun didn't listen to it at all, and even said that he scoffed, he felt that the ghost-faced horse would not break his promise, and the Qin people were much more reliable than the Han Dynasty.

But now, misfortune was threatened by Ye Yun again.

Not only this one, but this has happened many times before, but Lu Xun doesn't think so.

He thinks that Ye Yunyang smells dry, a young man in his teens, with no experience and no qualifications, how much strategic thinking can he have in his head, even if he has, it must be wrong.

The envoy finally said: "When they left the Qin army's camp, they had already completed their rest, and the ghost-faced horse gave an order, making it clear that the next combat target was Bai Di, and the army would be drawn soon. ”

The little hope that Lu Xuan had left was ruthlessly shattered, and he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Ye Yunyang...... No, where is Marquis Wu Yinghou stationed now, hurry up and send someone to find him, just say that Bai Di is willing to submit to the Han Dynasty, and ask him to help this king tide over the difficulties!"

Luke smiled bitterly and said: "The Han mission is now stationed in the territory of the Great Han, I am afraid it will be difficult to find him, and it is ...... Last time he left in a bad mood, he must have ignored the messenger you sent. ”

Then the king went in person, and it was a big deal to kneel down and apologize to him. Lu Xuan decided to let it go, it is better to lose face than to lose his life.

Seeing that the Ghost Face Legion was about to overwhelm the territory, if they couldn't find a way out for the tribe before the war began, more than two million clansmen would have to die.
