"It's still early, and the Bailong people shouldn't have arrived yet. You go and verify the number of Bluns on the dock. ”

Qiu Hu responded and left.

He Lingchuan asked Renee again: "Where is our stone carving?" ”

"It has been placed in place a long time ago, and it has also been put in Xuanjing." There is plenty of time to prepare.

"Is anyone paying attention?"

"Recently, there has been a lot of construction on the islands, and everyone has long been used to it." With building materials and stones everywhere and tinkling everywhere, who wants to take a second look at a dusty construction site?

And Min Tianxi finally brought good news to He Lingchuan:

"The relatives of the Bailong people, we have found it."

He Lingchuan's eyes froze: "How did you find it?" ”

The good news couldn't have come at a better time.

"I think their families are not easy to settle, at least there will be a shortage of food, and the Bailong people have to send supplies there every once in a while, and this is the clue that can be traced. So I found two sellers to go to Black Pages Island to sell some home. After waiting for a long time, finally a Bailong man with a small braid on the back of his head bought a rattle and two beaded hairpins, and the seller took the opportunity to crush the hug bee pupae and apply them on it. ”

Men usually do not wear beaded hairpins, which are supposed to be bought for wives and daughters.

"Yesterday morning, the compass finally took us to the shore stronghold of the Bailong people, which turned out to be Baisha County on the edge of Daofeng Harbor, and they were hiding in a deserted village by the sea, basically all women and children. Deserted villages are surrounded by mountains, and there are water sources, but the farmland has long been abandoned. That place is actually across the sea from the Yangshan Islands, and if you take a boat from Sodin Island to the north, as long as you avoid the undercurrent, the straight-line distance is about an hour. ”

He Lingchuan's heart was slightly relieved, and he said two good words in a row.

Living in a deserted village can only be an expedient measure, and you must find a foothold in the future. Based on this alone, he could infer that Wan Qisong was uneasy and kind.

However, when he found the relatives of the Bailong people, he stared at the weakness of the other party, and this battle was guaranteed.

He Lingchuan patted Min Tianxi on the shoulder: "Well done, credit you!" ”

He turned his head again and asked Lu Qiuwei: "What about Yu Zecheng?" ”

"It's still in the guest room, and there's no place to move." Lu Qiuwei said, "He knew very well that we were spying on him, and he went downstairs to eat twice, and he smiled at me." ”

"We know each other." He Lingchuan said, "Keep staring." ”

"Yes." Lu Qiuwei turned around to leave.

But He Lingchuan noticed his expression and suddenly asked, "Are you a little worried?" ”

Lu Qiuwei immediately turned back and said, "I am willing to go to the soup for the lord." ”

"Well, you don't have to show loyalty at this time." He Lingchuan couldn't help laughing, "Let's be honest, don't you have a bottom in your heart?" ”

Lu Qiuwei hesitated, and when he saw that the people on the side did not surround him for the time being, he said, "My subordinates just didn't expect that they would meet with the Baijia people so soon." ”

He is a disciple of Rongshan, and he has no good impression of Bega. But the lord had just come overseas, and he had been on the ground for less than two months, and he was going to face the guests of Bega, which he didn't expect.

The average person avoids this kind of conflict.

"The struggle between Yu Zecheng and me began the moment I refused to hand over Zhu Erniang, and tonight is just a continuation and intensification of the conflict. Oh, there will be this day. He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are far from meeting each other in battle. You told the brothers to rest assured, this relationship is safe and controllable, and I will grasp the scale. ”

There is nothing he promised, Lu Qiuwei immediately nodded: "My subordinates understand." ”

"Bega is Bega, jade is jade, he can't represent Bega. You remember, Bega is strong does not mean that jade is strong, and offending jade does not necessarily offend Bega, understand? ”

Lu Qiuwei didn't agree immediately, but thought about it hard, and then nodded with relief: "Understood!" ”

"Go get busy."

He Lingchuan watched his back leave, knowing that it was normal for his subordinates to have doubts about this kind of confrontation, after all, the enemy's background was extraordinary.

Who is not stressed or has doubts in the face of Bega?

However, this also reminded him that in the future, in order to manage the army, we must first control the heart, and we must first mobilize before taking action.

People's hearts need to be united, and consensus needs to be cohesive.

After being rejected by Zhu Erniang and He Lingchuan, what did Yu Zecheng want to stay on the island? Of course, it's an opportunity to calculate/take revenge on them.

The existence of this group of Bega people is a kind of pressure in itself, and even a smart and knowledgeable Rongshan disciple like Lu Qiuwei has been affected.

Yu Zecheng wanted to let He Lingchuan stab his back, knowing that he was being remembered by Bejia every day and every hour.

If He Lingchuan couldn't stand the pressure, let alone kill Yu Zecheng, even if he forcibly drove him away, he would offend Beijia.

It is true that the Yangshan Islands are not in the sphere of influence of the Bega, and the latter cannot send troops to kill them, but the way for the Bega to influence the Yangshan Islands is not only by force. It is as strong as the country of Mu, even if it is at war with Bega, but the people-to-people interaction has never been severed, and the sons of high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the country of Mou are still proud of traveling to Lingxu City, not to mention the frequent trade between the two countries, no businessman does not want to do Bega's business, and no businessman wants to offend Bega.

As long as Bega lightly imposes a few bans on the Yangshan Islands, or asks Qingguo and Yaguo to give Yangshan a little color to see, as long as such a little intervention is likely to affect the future operation of the Yangshan Islands.

Yu Zecheng hoped that He Lingchuan would not be able to withstand the pressure and give in, so that his task would be completed, cheap and efficient—this was the script that Bega's foreign envoys most often got.

At first glance, there is nothing to lose on the surface of the Yangshan Islands. But from now on, He Lingchuan had to consider all the requests made by Bega, otherwise he would send people over to keep an eye on him and worry about him.

Who made him bow his head in this round of competition? The encroachment of Bega on small countries and small places has always been a snake with a stick.

In fact, Yu Zecheng also used the same trick against Zhu Erniang, pressure + harassment + mobilization of surrounding forces.

Zhu Erniang moved several times and was forced to be displaced, if it wasn't for the acceptance of Yangshan Islands, she would soon be at the end of her rope.

Bega is known as the northern demon country, and it is indeed better than humans to deal with all kinds of big demons, and there is no need to directly dispatch great power.

The power of such a big empire is really huge against individuals and small places like the Yangshan Islands.

It has time, energy, and patience, and if you beat one of its subordinates, a hundred of its subordinates, he can send another one hundred and one of his subordinates to come over and follow you endlessly.

An ancient demon immortal like Zhu Erniang had a lot of ability, and he couldn't even touch the enemy's edge, so he was tortured and exhausted.

What's more, is the other party really not capable of making a move?

Once the time is ripe, once Yu Zecheng finds He Lingchuan's weakness, this kind of secret war will escalate into an open war.
