The night is like ink, the city of Nanbanfu.

"Who?" shouted the patrolman with his spear raised and pointed across the street into an old house.

The companions also became nervous and asked, "What do you see?"

"There seems to be a figure flashing, let's go over and have a look. ”

Everyone walked over with alert faces, and after some searching, they found nothing.

"You must be mistaken, this is the old mansion of the barbarian king Meng Huo, since he became the crown prince, it has been completely abandoned, and there has been no one living in it for decades now, how can a figure suddenly appear?"

"Maybe I'm dazzled, I'm sorry, but the brothers are nervous with Bai. Let's do it, I'll be the boss after a while, let's find a tavern and have a few drinks. ”

"yes, that's interesting. ”

No sooner had the patrols left than a figure flashed into the old house and headed straight for the house to the south.

The shadow reached out and lifted the stone slab covering the stove, and after a little fumbling with his hand, he dug out a bag of oilcloth from the ashes.

Open the cloth bag, inside is an ancient book bound in thread, the man in black flipped through the pages, with a glimmer of moonlight, on the broken paper is a pair of charts.

He put away the ancient books and took off the black silk scarf that covered his face, and it was Mengtu, the former king of the Western Barbarians.

During this time, he searched for his old subordinates, and those people had either surrendered to the Han or were transferred to other places, and only a few people responded to the call and returned to his command.

Relying on such a few people, it will definitely not be possible.

Frustrated, he thought of a story told by his father, Wang Menghuo, when he was a child.

It is said that in the distant South China Sea, there is an isolated island hidden in the mist, and there is an ancient temple on the isolated island, and whoever can find the isolated island and enter the temple can get a powerful power to help him dominate the Holy Heaven Continent.

This story has been circulated in Nanban for hundreds of thousands of years, and many people know it, and it is a legend.

But Meng Huo once said that when he was young, he was given an ancient book, which recorded in detail the specific location of the isolated island, and the detailed navigation route, if one day Nanban ceased to exist, he would drive a sea ship to find the island, seeking help from the resurgence.

Meng Huo died, and only the two brothers Meng Zhun and Meng Tu knew about the ancient books, Meng Zhun was imprisoned in the imperial capital as a barbarian king, Meng Tu inadvertently remembered this incident, and quietly sneaked into the city of Nanban Mansion with the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor.

After getting the ancient book, the next step is to go to sea.

As for whether the legend is true or not, and whether the isolated island recorded in the ancient books exists, he has no idea in his heart.

......

Lu Xun sat in the king's tent and was silent.

The two sons stood opposite, neither daring to speak.

The man sent to see the ghost face came back, and the three of them thought that the Qin people would support Lu Xun's promotion to the throne of Rongdi, but the result was a big disappointment.

The ghost-faced horse refused, on the grounds that Daqin and Rong Di were in a hostile relationship, and with such an identity, Lu Xun would be crowned as the king of Rong Di, and the Rong Di people would definitely be dissatisfied, and even openly rebel against Bai Di.

The road on the Qin people's side is not working, Lu Xun has to continue to find a breakthrough from the Han side, if the Han Emperor is willing to give the seal, then his gold content of the King of Rongdi will be much higher, enough to deter Chirong and Bianrong.

"Lu Zhi, you still have to go to Wu Yinghou. Lu Xun said helplessly: "If he doesn't nod, the Han Emperor's side will be even more unbearable." ”

Bai Di is just a small tribe, it is impossible to jump over Ye Yunyang and directly root the dialogue with the Han Emperor, if he wants to achieve his goal, Ye Yunyang not only has to nod, but also has to help from the side.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly: "Okay, the first few times because of this incident, I quarreled with Wu Yinghou, and I inevitably had to apologize to him before I could get down to business." ”

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Remember, you must be polite and sincere." ”

At this time, a general reported outside the tent: "King Qiqi, there is a border army of more than 3,000 people, led by a general of the Bright Sky Realm, who has come to join us. ”

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and the border army came to defect?

Although Bai Di also received a lot of border people before, they were mainly civilians, plus a small number of remnants of the defeated generals, and they were all unorganized.

Although Bian Rong lost the battle late, the king of Bian Rong is still there, the shelf of the Bian Rong tribe is still there, three thousand people plus a general of the Tongyuan Realm, how determined it must be to make the decision to betray the master and defect to Bai Di.

"Is the other party really here to defect?" Lu Xuan still didn't believe it.

The general outside replied: "It is true, the other party will say that there is no future for following the king of Bianrong, so he led the crowd to vote, hoping that King Bai Di would take him in." ”

Luke smiled and said: "It seems that my father's reputation has resounded throughout Rongdi, and even the established Bianrong people have come to take refuge, I believe that it will not be long before the Chirong soldiers will do the same." ”

Lu Xun stood up happily: "Okay, since there is a master of the Tongyuan Realm, this king will personally come forward to greet him and give him a face." ”

Lu Zhiye smiled and said, "Now I also have an excuse to go to Wu Yinghou." ”

In the mission camp, after listening to Lu Zhi's intention, Ye Yun raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly: "Is it really the border army?"

Lu Zhi patted his chest and said: "It's true, there are more than 3,000 people, and they are all warriors who are ten warriors, not defeated soldiers." The most important thing is that the opponent's master will be a Tongyuan Realm martial artist, which shows that my father is famous, otherwise, how could he attract the eight directions to vote. ”

Speaking of which, it is still to pave the way for Lu Xun's promotion to the throne of King Rongdi.

Ye Yunyang was more interested in this border army, and their appearance was a little unreasonable.

Especially the main general of the Tongyuan Realm, with his strength, he should be very valued on the side of the King of Bianrong, it is unlikely that he will easily make a rebellion, and he will easily bring three thousand male soldiers.

According to reliable information, although the Bianjung people are in trouble, they are far from falling apart, and the king of Bianjong is still able to control the situation easily.

Lu Zhi continued: "In order to show the importance of the Bianjung people, my father specially arranged for them to be stationed near the king's tent, only a few hundred meters away from your camp. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Ye Yunyang immediately asked: "Did the people of Bianrong ask for it themselves, or did King Bai Di take the initiative to arrange it like this?"

Lu Zhi replied: "Both! The generals advised the father to guard against the Bianjung people, but the father said that if he wanted to continue to invite the hearts of the people, he had to show generosity and trust, and agreed to the request of the Bianrong people on the spot. However, his father immediately withdrew another 10,000 people to protect the king's tent, and even if the Bianjung people had different intentions, they would not want to threaten his safety. ”

Speaking of the back, Lu Zhi couldn't help but be proud.

Ye Yunyang scoffed at this, Lu Xun's approach was tantamount to taking off his pants and farting, since he wanted to show his trusting side, why bother to transfer troops over.

While people are stationed around the king's tent, they also have to guard against others, can they feel better?

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Zhi said cheekily: "Marquis Wu Ying, even the people from Bian Rong have come to join us, isn't my father not qualified enough to be promoted?"

Ye Yunyang thought for a while and said, "I'll think about this matter and give you an answer as soon as possible, how about it?"

Although he didn't agree, he didn't refuse directly as usual, Lu Zhi was very happy: "Okay, then I'll come to Wu Yinghou tomorrow." ”

After Lu Zhi left, Ye Yunyang ordered: "Senior nephew, pay close attention to the movements of the Bianrong people. ”

"Understood!" Zheng Zhiyuan's voice sounded from the top of the tent.

At night, Lu Xuan invited the people of Bianjung, and the king's tent was not lively.

This time, he learned wisely and did not invite Ye Yunyang, so as not to be disgraced again.

It is said that the people of Bianrong were very face-saving, and offered to let Lu Xuan be the king of Rongdi, and they also wantonly counted the kings of Bianrong and Chirong.

Lu Xuan was overjoyed, and felt that he was one step closer to becoming the king, so he immediately entrusted the general of Bian Rong with an important task, and made a promise, saying that if he could be promoted to the king of Rong Di in the future, he would definitely be crowned the king of the tribe.

Chen Shilai came to Ye Yunyang with a messenger.

Because Ye Yunyang had a special explanation, as long as he was in the camp, all the letters would be received by him personally.

This is to avoid being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble due to contact with the Ghost-Faced Pony.

Chen Shilai withdrew from the big tent with great interest, and the messenger bowed to Ye Yunyang, took out a small sealed bamboo tube from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.

Ye Yunyang checked the bamboo tube to make sure that the sealing wax on it was complete, and while unsealing it, he asked, "Does your master have anything else to explain?"

The messenger shook his head: "No special explanation. ”

He opened the side of the bamboo tube, took out the letter paper from it, unfolded it and read it roughly, and involuntarily smiled.

Sure enough, as expected, the purpose of these Bianrong people is not pure.

In the letter, the ghost-faced horse mentions that a convoy of people secretly entered the garrison of the Bianjung, and according to the verification, the convoy came from the Han Dynasty.

Ye Yunyang put away the letter paper, returned the bamboo tube to the messenger, and said, "Help me bring a message to your master, just say that everything is fine, don't worry." ”

The messenger bowed and clenched his fists: "Obey, the villain retires." ”

When the messenger had left, he took out the letter and read it aside, then threw it into the charcoal brazier next to it, where it was reduced to ashes.

Obviously, the convoy that is now stationed in Bian Rong was not sent by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, otherwise how could he not greet Ye Yunyang in advance.

Moreover, Dahan has always supported Bai Di, and the official has never dealt with Bian Rong.

But in the officialdom, there is a person who has a good personal relationship with King Bianrong, and that is Li Fuchen, the head of the hundred officials.

Call......

The breeze blew, and the hair on Ye Yunyang's forehead fluttered.

He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Zheng Zhiyuan stood opposite him and said in a deep voice: "There are masters quietly approaching our camp, I am worried about the safety of the junior uncle, so I rushed back to protect it." ”

"What kind of master?"

"In the later stage of the Golden Body Realm, it is even more powerful than King Bai Di. Zheng Zhiyuan replied.

Ye Yunyang asked again: "What is the situation in the Bianrong camp?"

Zheng Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Since nightfall, some people have climbed the five-zhang high flagpole and spied on our camp with binoculars, and some people have wandered around the station, as if they are familiar with the terrain and roads. Uncle Xiao's worry is correct, those people seem to be coming for us. ”

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "Li Fuchen couldn't help but make a move in the end, but his tricks were not very clever, and like last time, he still chose to borrow a knife to kill." I'm afraid his plot will fail again, and my counterattack will definitely not be as slight as the last time, and I will definitely kill him!"

Zheng Zhiyuan frowned: "That master left, he should have come to investigate the situation, and then wait for an opportunity to do it." ”
