[1039] Prosperity

The warship fleet of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, drifting among the rapids and huge waves, finally came to the western waters of Liubo Island at midnight.

Long before the rainy season began, the fleets on the side of the Nine Shadows Country had mostly conducted night sailing training on the Qinglong Sea. The huge waves and the large whirlpools that rolled up randomly everywhere as soon as the Qinglong Sea entered the night were no longer difficult for the warships and fleet sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The shaking brought by the raging waves was not an obstacle or difficulty for the gunners on the ship.

After nearly a year of training, the sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom can adapt to combat in any weather in the Qinglong Sea.

The huge iron anchor of thousands of catties was lowered, which also allowed the warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to stop steadily at sea.

The ships lined up in a line from south to north in the sea, with one side facing the southwest of Liubo Island and most of the west coast, only a few miles away.

The gun holes in the cabin were opened, and the various cannons on the deck were aimed at Liubo Island under the night sky.

Ying Lingxing had already sent a fungus man, wearing a trumpet silk coat to wade through the water, quietly landing on the island one step ahead of the army, and then escaping to all parts of the island, reporting the coordinates of the fortifications on the island to each warship one by one.

The accurate artillery bombardment made the artillery shells on the ships of the Nine Shadows Country unmissed.

The fortified forts, fortresses, and towers and watchtowers that had been built with great effort and effort to defend the Wing Fire had lost all defensive advantages.

On this rainy night, the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom roared one after another. The heaven-shattering cannon of the Nine Shadows Kingdom roared angrily, and the poisonous fire god cannon tore through the darkness of the night. This was followed by a dense and rapid shelling by the Falling Star Cannon.

The advanced weapons of the Nine Shadows Kingdom that made the Netherworld Underworld jaw-dropping, told Yihuo with painful facts that it was not the Netherworld Ghost Cannon that made the Nine Shadows Kingdom still have a headache that could make the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom stop the pace of attack.

And the arrival of the rainy season not only allowed the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to go east to rest, but also the military supplies of the entire Nine Shadows Kingdom to get a respite.

A large number of armaments and materials were continuously manufactured by the ordnance supervisors in various places, and the Ying Lingxing, who sailed with the wind, was fully prepared for this attack.

Gongyuan has arranged eight large transport ships carrying cannonballs alone, and each transport ship has more than half of the cabin to carry all kinds of cannonballs, and there will be a fleet of sailors who will follow with it to replenish all the cannonballs that Yingling Star has knocked out. Tonight, if nothing happens, tens of thousands of catties of artillery shells will be tilted to the fortifications and barracks in various parts of Liubo Island.

The whole island will not be able to sleep tonight under the sound of cannons.

The southern part of the island was surrounded by a sea of fire after the fourth round of shelling began, and the garrisons on the island were also divided.

In the midst of the heavy rain, the ground on the island shook, the houses in the barracks collapsed, and the scorching wind swept through all the ground fortifications in the explosion.

Countless sergeants on the island were killed in the thunder and loud cannon fire before they woke up.

The soldiers on duty who were awake at night had not yet recovered from their panic, and they were either killed or wounded under the shelling.

Ying Lingxing did not fight the naval battles that Yihuo had prepared for each other at all, nor did he give the other party the opportunity and time to ask for help. After several rounds of shelling, the mine-flying trucks, which had already been loaded with ammunition and loaded with artillery, took off one after another from the decks of several iron dragon ships and Xuanwu ships.

All the air cavalry and flying troops also surged up, rushed into the wind and rain in mid-air, and galloped towards Liubo Island not far away.

Then hovering in the air, and then the raging fire that had been ignited on the land, after aiming at the target on the ground, cast a whistling **, or shoot at the ground target with the small cannon mounted on the air cavalry.

The thunder pestle on the Flying Thunder Car shoots lightning in bursts, tearing through the darkness and wind and rain, hitting enemies and targets directly, piercing and tearing them apart.

The guns in the Flying Army were loud, and the air cavalry under Yihuo who hurriedly took off before they could enter the battle, they were accurately shot by the Flying Army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and fell down from the mid-air of the rainy night with ghost blood, and fell heavily to the ground, ending up either dead or injured, and also having broken bones.

This sudden attack and night attack, the tacit cooperation of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, as well as those deafening explosions, dazzling surging fire and billowing smoke, brought the night rain of death to Liubo Island, and death fell from the sky.

For a time, all the defenders on the island were dashed in the wind and rain with the hope of taking the initiative to attack and the vision of meritorious service. Even the self-confident Wing Huo, who had been loudly and proudly recounting his plan before, was also in the explosion and panic, facing the rising sea of fire and the sky that had become red, confidence and pride all fell apart, and all that was left in his heart was despair.

It's just that away from the elusive, the wing fire of the Nine Shadows Naval Division on the strait quietly emerged, and at this time, he didn't know at all that the despair that Ying Lingxing decided to give him was not just an intensive shelling.

On the flagship of Gongyuan, Ying Lingxing, who had already put on his battle armor, was full of ambition.

He stepped onto the deck, looking at the soldiers who were ready to land, full of confidence and fighting spirit, and slowly drew the long knife at his waist.

The cold light flashed, and the long knife came out of its sheath.

This was the demon path that his father had put on him when he left Shuoyue Island a few years ago.

It is said that this is a waist knife made by the Zhurong clan, constantly spitting flames, and refining tens of thousands of times in twelve hours.

It is Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, in order to reward the Ying family for fighting for the Nine Shadows and defending the border.

The shiny blade body flashed with a restrained cold light in the wind and rain.

Clenching the slightly curved hilt of the knife, Ying Lingxing turned his head to look at the southern part of Liubo Island, which was blazing in the rainy night.

The ship's artillery fire also turned one after another, aiming at the central part of the island.

"Attack, land, kill all the ghosts that do not descend. After Ying Lingxing shouted, the wings on his back spread out, and when a strong and powerful yin wind was instigated, his four hooves took off into the air and flew up......

The wind and snow on the side of Yuque City finally stopped after three days. The clouds opened and the fog dispersed, the sunny sky reappeared, and the blue sky was white again.

The ice and snow melt, and the cold disappears.

The rivers and lakes surrounding the city have also raised their water levels.

The boat of the Qingqiu Fox King, which traveled all the way by water, has now gone down the river and came to the outside of Yuque City.

Under the guidance of the warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they followed the river connecting the moat and headed towards the north pier of Yuque City.

Standing on the deck, the Qingqiu Fox King and the Fox Ten Dou saw the strong city walls towering over the edge of the moat. On the tall city wall, the fort flags are lined up, and the flower flags on the other side of the Nine Shadows Country are flying in the wind, hunting and hunting.

The majestic, tall and majestic city wall towers over the river, strictly protecting the inner city of the entire Yuque City. Protected the Yuque Mountain with Tiankeng and Yuque Palace, beautiful and verdant, and Zhong Lingyuxiu.

A magnificent, huge and prosperous ghost town is right in front of the eyes of the Qingqiu Fox King and the Fox Shidou. Its scale and area are only second only to Xudu.

The fleet sailed downwind and soon came to the north gate. In front of the front and back gates, the piers were changed to a turtle back shape, and a huge stone bridge with stone masonry was built on the river bank, which crossed the moat. The north and south roads are sandwiched, and the fourth floor is opposite.

There are markets and restaurants at the head and end of the bridge, and the wide bridge is full of pedestrians, cars and horses, and it is very lively. The weeping willows on both sides of the bank are like smoke, the requiem trees are lined up, and the waves under the bridge are sparkling, and the boats come and go.

Along the way, the Qingqiu Fox King and they all came to watch the prosperity of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and they had long been accustomed to such a lively scene. Now seeing the prosperity and bustle of the capital Yuque, Qingqiu Fox King and Fox Shidou are already commonplace.

I have to say that the strength of the Nine Shadows Country is not something that the Qingqiu Fox Country can compare with for a while.

On the edge of the bridge, near the city walls, is the pier to the north of the city, which was built on the bank of the moat.

Zong Bo Changqin, an official of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, was already leading the honor guard and waiting on the dock.

The ships of the Qingqiu Fox King's fleet entered the dock in order, making the place seem crowded. The warship of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which escorted and led the way, turned around and headed towards the wharf of the lake outside the west of the city.

The boat was very stable, and the Qingqiu Fox King and the Fox Shidou took a few personal guards and took the lead in getting off the boat.

"Lord Changqin, we meet again. The Qingqiu Fox King greeted him with a smile and stood in front of Changqin.

"The king, Lord Fox Shidou. Changqin naturally recognized them, and after the next salute, he greeted: "All the way, the boat and car are tired, right?"

"Not really, the boat was smooth and smooth all the way. Your country's hospitality is also very thorough, and the king eats well, drinks well, and sleeps well on the ship. With a smile, the Qingqiu Fox King said: "I have also seen a lot of novel scenery along the way, and I don't feel tired, but I am very happy." ”。

"It's so good, the rest of the pavilion camp has been arranged. Changqin smiled, called a scribe behind him, and said, "You go and take people, first take the Qingqiu Fox King with his luggage and entourage, and arrange to rest at the pavilion first." Everything must be arranged according to the treatment of the highest state guest, food, accommodation and rest, must not be sloppy, and must be well entertained. ”。

"No. The scribe answered, and stepped aside.

"If the fox king is not tired, can you go into the palace with me now, my king is waiting for you to meet you in the palace at this time." Changqin turned his head and faced the Qingqiu Fox King opposite again: "And a state banquet has also been set up in the palace, ready to entertain you and wash the dust for everyone." ”。

After exchanging glances with the fox Shidou beside him, the Qingqiu Fox King nodded and said, "It's okay." ”。

Changqin then led the way, bringing the Fox King and several Fox Kingdom ghost officials, as well as their personal guards, to the outside of the dock.

Luxurious silver-topped cars lined up and were already waiting at the door. The forbidden army that Xiao Shizhu allocated to Changqin for temporary deployment was also waiting by the convoy.

After inviting the Qingqiu Fox King to board the car, Changqin also boarded the car and rode in the same car with the Qingqiu Fox King and the Fox Shidou.

After a while, the bell rang softly in the sound of the whip, and the convoy of cars slowly moved forward, heading towards the north gate. The guards of the forbidden army and the guard of honor also marched with them.

After passing the urn city and the north gate, there was another noisy and lively sound, coming from the car window.

Curious, the Qingqiu Fox King raised the curtains and looked longingly.

I saw the convoy driving on the wide street, with merchants gathered on both sides, many shops, a dazzling array of goods, and department stores. The streets and alleys between the shops are dense and extend in all directions.

In the middle of the street, there are cars and horses, pedestrians on both sides, and under the gathering of migrant workers, the pedestrians in the market are endless, shoulder-rubbing, and noisy and lively.

The haunted houses in the alleys are lined with blue bricks and hundred-tile courtyards. In the form, the small courtyard passes through the corridor, and the courtyard in the center of the courtyard is the majority.

All of them are made of bluestone, and it is not uncommon to see haunted houses like three-story pavilion-style tomb towers. Most of the high-rise buildings are facing each other, facing the street.

But the hut was not seen.

After a short drive, you can also see the towering towers that stand beside the street.

The sentry upstairs is looking around condescendingly. In the midst of the excitement, so safe.

It can be seen that the prosperity of this Jade Que City is not a false appearance.

The large and small streets and alleys have turned these haunted houses into major markets, making them meet the circular city walls and form a pattern of round heavens and places.

The market is divided into east, west, north and south, and the four images are secretly combined. Everything is in order and well laid out. The haunted house and all the buildings are complex but not chaotic, but also tight and compact.

Between these markets, it is the lively scene that passes in front of the eyes of the Qingqiu Fox King.

"It's a prosperous and lively scene, and it really deserves to be the capital of the country. After looking at it for a long time, the Qingqiu Fox King put down the curtains and sighed sincerely: "In terms of prosperity and liveliness, even the king's Qingqiu Mountain City is less than one-tenth of here." ”。

The desire to usurp has been secretly aroused in his heart, and he is delusional that one day, he will also take such prosperity into his own hands.

"This place has been so lively since the time of the ancient gods. Later, there were several depressions, but the prosperity gradually regained under the governance of the Gonggong. After my lord entered the Yuque, he expanded and repaired several times, not only enlarging the city, but also connecting the surrounding rivers and lakes to the moat. After serving tea to the Qingqiu Fox King and the Fox Shidou, Changqin said: "Make the water and land routes of this capital developed and unimpeded. Merchants can be used both on land and water, and extend in all directions, so that there will be commodities from all over the world, and a steady stream of goods will arrive in Beijing for sale and trading, and there will be such a lively situation today. ”。

When Hu Shidou heard this, he silently took a sip of tea, and secretly thought in his heart: I'm afraid that Xiao Shizhu is doing this not only for prosperity, but also for transporting troops.

Since ancient times: the city is prosperous with Taoism. Therefore, many ghost countries have built roads around big cities very well.

But Xiao Shizhu insisted on this way, not just the road. Even waterways and rivers attach great importance to it. Along the way, the Nine Secluded Domestic Rivers that Fox Shidou saw were all over the place, and there were not a few places along the wide underworld, and the waterway network extending in all directions allowed the Nine Secluded Countries to transport troops from the waterways and quickly regain the lost territory even if there was an enemy invasion and guarding all the dangers on the underworld.

In leisure time, it is natural to not see the miraculous effect of land and water, at most, it only allows the circulation of materials to be faster in all parts of the town, creating a lot of prosperity.

In wartime, transportation by land and water can play a greater role. The waterways and land routes that extend in all directions can allow the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to quickly maneuver to any point in the country at any time.

Xiao Shizhu made this kind of developed transportation not only shape the prosperity that the fox ten fighters saw, but also made the military operations of the Nine Shadows Kingdom faster and the speed of sending troops faster.

"I see, but it is also the ability of the Nine Shadows King to create such prosperity. Fox Shidou was still silent, and the Qingqiu Fox King had already chatted with Changqin: "Earlier, when I heard my brother and the merchants who came from the country talk about the prosperity and liveliness of Yuque City, this king also felt that it might be exaggerated. When I see it today, it seems that this prosperity and prosperity are well deserved. I don't know if in a few days, Lord Changqin will be free to accompany this king to walk around the city, and see more and appreciate the prosperity of the ghost country?"

Changqin, who was sitting opposite, didn't think twice, so he answered: "If the king is willing, Changqin will naturally be willing to serve." And there are many famous snacks in the city, as long as the king does not dislike it, Changqin is willing to serve as a tour guide, take the king around to see, taste the food. ”。
