Chapter 986: Turn the rudder to the west

To the surprise of Immaculate and others, Lucius was very happy to carry out the handover of Songjiang City, and handed over Songjiang City, which he had spent a lot of effort to rebuild, to Immaculate Commandery.

There was almost no deviation in the whole process, and even Reimer did not expect that Lucius would be so refreshing.

Watching Lucius lead the city inside, driving the floating boat to slowly leave Songjiang City, and flying towards the south of Middle-earth in the sunset, Wufang and the others standing on the platform of the floating boat suddenly had a feeling of loss, and felt that it was their own loss to leave alone like Lecius.

It's just that, with immaculate pride, he doesn't want to admit that he has been conquered by the charisma of Lucius's personality.

He was able to stand up in times of danger and risk his life to hold on to Matsue Castle, which had no reinforcements, and after the war, he spent a lot of money to rebuild the castle and let the people who had moved out move back.

After settling all the people in the city, rebuilding a stronger city, and then leaving alone, this kind of courage and personality charm will indeed infect everyone who comes into contact with him.

Although Immaculate was reluctant to admit it on the surface, he was already impressed by Lucius in his heart.

And the hostility when it was restrained, even when Lucius taught her some mechanical control methods in Matsue, Wufang had the urge to keep Lucius.

But Lucius didn't give him a chance to stay, he left directly with the sunset after the delivery, almost without any hesitation and affection, especially the sunny smile on his face when he left, it was so sincere and warm.

Finally, when the float disappeared into the sky, the set couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I really didn't expect him to leave like this." ”

The words of the set pulled back everyone's thoughts, and there was no time to suddenly restrain the reverence in his heart, and said coldly: "It's okay to go." He's gone, at least he won't clash with us. ”

Although Flawless's words were very blunt and her attitude was very cold, anyone could tell from her voice that she was actually no longer hostile to Lucius, and even vaguely felt that she did not want to be a real enemy of Lucius.

Tao Tao and the others were very happy to arrive, but Reimer was a little unhappy, originally he built a disciple of the academy to come to take charge of Songjiang City, he wanted to create a contradiction between the academy and Lucius.

But who knows, Lucius actually took the initiative to back down. And it also won the respect of the disciples of the academy.

This kind of outcome was not what Reimer wanted, and it was already a huge deviation from his previous plan.

After a moment of silence, Reimer took two steps forward and whispered to Immaculate: "In fact, letting Lucius leave is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, don't forget, his workshop is built in the southern Xinjiang, and he is traveling all the way to the south." It must be to go back to the Southern Xinjiang Workshop. ”

Pan Hui was quick to speak, and hurriedly asked: "What's that?" Lecius's workshop, is there a threat to us, there is nothing to worry about." ”

listened to Pan Hui's words. Lei Mo suddenly sneered and said, "Hehe, I'm afraid the truth may not be as Pan Hui County Lord thinks. ”

Immaculate stared at Reimer until he saw that Reimer was a little hairy, and Flawless asked in a low voice, "Then what do you think?" When he returns to the workshop in southern Xinjiang, what kind of fame will he want to make? Could it be that he still wants to subvert my Tang Dynasty? Pavaro, you can tell me. ”

Reimer is still Pavaro at the moment. Lucius did not reveal his identity, and naturally he was reluctant to reveal his identity.

It can be said that this is also a disadvantage of the Red Heart Royal Family, that is, they will always be suspicious of everything, and they will always have too many calculations in their hearts, but they are worried that they will be calculated by others.

Therefore, Reimer is reluctant to reveal his identity, and still shows himself as Pavaro.

Hearing the flawless question, Reimer smiled lightly and said: "Lord Immaculate, in fact, the matter is obvious, Lucius put on a high-spirited and bright face, and directly gave up Songjiang City, does he really have no backhand? And where is his backhand?"

Flawless is not a fool, hearing that Reimer had already said this, he lowered his head and thought about it and asked: "You mean, he took the initiative to hand over Songjiang City just to keep the workshop in southern Xinjiang?"

Without waiting for Lei Mo to respond, Yu Miao suddenly spoke: "But His Majesty and Niangniang didn't want to deprive him of the Southern Xinjiang Workshop, did they? Why did he have to do more? Besides, if she didn't hand over Songjiang City, it would be tantamount to openly disobeying the Holy Decree, I'm afraid it would be impossible for him to do that." ”

Reimer seized the opportunity and said eagerly: "Yes, this is his cleverness, making everyone think that he is only in Songjiang City, and then he gives it up, but in fact, what he really wants to keep is his workshop in the southern Xinjiang." ”

Without waiting for everyone to retort, Reimer continued: "Everyone, don't forget Jì, he is a mechanic, what does a workshop mean to a robot?"

It must be said that Reimer's words were very inflammatory, and when he said this, he immediately raised his vigilance, thinking that Lucius was a mechanic, and if there was a suitable workshop, he would be able to produce a steady stream of machinery, and then his power would be even stronger.

This is the thought in Wuxi's mind at this moment, and Wufang suddenly feels that it seems that he really shouldn't let go of Lucius, and he is clearly letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

However, just when there was no time to think like this, suddenly the set set next to him sneered and said: "Pavaro, you said so much, it is nothing more than to say that Lucius has a heart of disobedience, but don't forget, it was he who defended Songjiang City, and it was he who repelled the demon clan." ”

"You can say that he is a master, but he did not dominate the region, he even left Middle-earth and went to the smoky land of the demon clan in southern Xinjiang, why do you want to maliciously seriously injure him?"

In the face of the accusation, Reimer was a little at a loss, and couldn't help but argue in a low voice: "Senior Brother Taotao, there are some things that can't be said nonsense, why am I maliciously seriously injured? I'm just expounding a fact, is it true that Lucius is not a little suspicious?"

Tao Tao continued to sneer and said, "Then let me ask you, is the master suspicious? Will the master want to subvert the Tang Dynasty and overthrow the empire?"

Not understanding why the set asked this, Reimer replied meaningfully: "That's naturally not." ”

"Okay, very good, since the master doesn't know, then the master once personally escorted him to meet the two saints in Chang'an City, and because he fought with the national teacher on the long street, he supported him as the commander to help Jiangnan, could it be said that the master is already old and dizzy. Is there no distinction between loyalty and treachery?"

The words of the set of sets were suddenly speechless, and he didn't realize that he was actually caught by the words.

Then he rebuked him: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't question the Master's intentions, I'm just talking about things, since you think it's against your ears, then I won't say it." ”

Seeing that the words seemed to embarrass Reimer, he quickly stopped the trick that wanted to continue to say something: "Okay, now that everyone has left, what are you still arguing about here? Wait for the instructions of Your Majesty and Niangniang before making plans. ”

After hearing what Wu had no time to say, Lei Mo naturally didn't say much, he actually knew very well in his heart that this matter had consulted the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen, and I was afraid that it would not be resolved in the end.

In fact, he had raised this question before, wanting to use the strength of the Second Sage and the Tang Empire to clean up Lucius, but he was rejected by the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress.

This time, he wanted to borrow the hand of the academy. But judging from the attitude of Immaculate and the others, the academy will not really start a war against Lucius.

So there is no point in continuing to argue, and Reimer can only swallow this breath.

Now. The floating boat that left Songjiang City, after heading south for a while, suddenly turned its rudder and headed west, not aiming at southern Xinjiang. Rather, it was the Western Regions of the Tang Empire.

The people on the airship couldn't help but feel a little puzzled by the sudden rudder of the float boat, especially Du Liniang, who specifically found Lucius and asked: "Why? Why did we suddenly change course? Aren't we going back to southern Xinjiang?" Consolidate your workshops and consolidate our power in the South?"

Facing everyone's questions, Lucius smiled and said, "Hehe, there's no hurry in that matter. ”

"Not in a hurry?"

Everyone was taken aback, and Christine then asked, "Then we are sailing west now, are we going to go back to the west?"

Lucius immediately laughed when he heard this, turned his head to look at Christine, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Christine, I really didn't expect that you would be so cute too." ”

Christine was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then immediately shouted angrily: "You, what nonsense are you talking about?"

shouted, and was about to rush forward, and had a desperate posture with Lucius, but was stopped by Caroline.

Lucius then said: "How can we go back now, now our strength is not enough, and we have not yet solved the fairy realm and the Buddha kingdom, only by solving the fairy realm and the Buddha kingdom, and obtaining the support of the power of the east, we will have a chance to defeat the magic heaven kingdom in the west, and the descendants of those two card royal clans." ”

After that, his eyes swept over everyone, and Lecius smiled and said, "As for now, we are indeed sailing westward, but not returning to the west, and losing the Western Regions." ”

Du Liniang quickly understood Lucius's thoughts, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to investigate the Sand Sea Empire?" to see if that empire has completely recovered, right?"

Lucius smiled and nodded: "Yes, what Auntie said is my thoughts." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, in fact, when the Yellow Sand warriors appeared in Songjiang City, everyone already knew that the Sand Sea Empire that was buried by the Yellow Sand began to wake up.

And it should have sent someone into Middle-earth, although I don't know what the other party's plan is, but it should also want to gain a foothold in Middle-earth, gain the luck of Middle-earth, and completely revive the Sand Sea Empire, which should be the most fundamental idea of the other party.

It's just that the specific thing the other party will do is unknown, or Du Liniang and they can't guess it, the most important thing is that they don't know that there is a king of hearts behind the scenes of the Sand Sea Empire.

Lucius did not hide it, and told everyone about the King of Hearts, and told everyone that the Royal Family of Hearts, one of the four royal families of the Holy Domain, originated from the empire that was silent under the Sea of Sand, and now the descendants of the King of Hearts have obtained the inheritance of the King of Hearts and have returned to the Sand Sea Empire.

After listening to Lucius's series of narrations, everyone present was all surprised, especially when they learned that the descendant of the King of Hearts was actually the young priest Reimer sent by the Holy See, that is, Pavaro of the Tang Empire, which made everyone completely stunned.

After being stunned for a while, Christine suddenly shouted: "Since you know his identity, why didn't you expose him when you were in Songjiang City?"

Looking at everyone around him, who seemed to be on the same page as Christine, Lecius smiled and said, "Why expose him? That won't do us any good." ”

Du Liniang agreed with Lu Xiusius's words, nodded and said: "Yes, exposing his identity is not good for us, and now the two saints of the Tang Empire are jealous of Lu Xiusi, and they may not believe Lu Xiusi's words, so exposing the other party will be detrimental to us." ”

Seeing that Du Liniang agreed with him, Lucius continued: "In fact, it is beneficial to us not to expose him, because he doesn't know what I think, so he will always be on guard against me, and will not choose to take the initiative, and those on guard will always expose flaws." ”

Hearing that Lucius said this, Caroline suddenly said, "So you plan to go to the Western Regions in person to investigate the current situation of the Sand Sea Empire?"

Lucius nodded, indicating that what Caroline said was not wrong, and that it was exactly what she was thinking now.

But the shadow spoke at this time: "However, we don't know much about the Sand Sea Empire, and if we enter the Western Regions rashly, I am afraid that someone will soon find their traces, and he will definitely take precautions at that time." ”

Regarding Ying's worries, Lucius smiled and said: "Hehe, so you don't have to worry, when we get to the place, someone will naturally help us and let us enter the Western Regions along the way, but if we want to enter the Sand Sea Empire, we can only rely on ourselves." ”

The float flew rapidly to the west, and after passing the last pass into the Western Regions, the float landed in an empty desert.

There was an open space all around, and the ground was full of sand, and some strange trees without leaves grew on the sand, and from time to time some reptiles walked through the sand.

When the float boat landed, all the insects crawling on the sand all hid under the sand, leaving only a bare sand land, which looked like a barren land, completely lifeless place, and it was hard to imagine how people in such a place could survive?

Du Liniang saw everyone's surprised looks, so she introduced to everyone: "Don't be surprised, this place has not yet reached the Sand Sea Empire, and the environment of the Sand Sea is even worse than here." ”

Hearing Du Liniang say this, everyone suddenly felt a palpitation, because the scene in front of them was already very desolate, and the sand sea was even worse than here, it was hard to imagine what kind of place it was?

Du Liniang saw the palpitations on everyone's faces, sighed and said: "In fact, the reason why the Western Regions became like this is also due to the influence of that sand sea, and the accumulation of wind and sand all year round will cause the Western Regions to become what it is now, and it should be very close to the sand sea." ”

Everyone got off the floatboat, and they all looked at Lucius blankly, wondering why he would lead everyone to land in such a place.

Lucius was not in a hurry, he took out a small wooden whistle from his jacket pocket, put it in his mouth and blew it vigorously, the whistle sound was clean and loud, and it resounded in the sky above the desolate land in front of him.

"Woo ......" Soon, Lucius's whistle was answered, and with another melodious whistle, the crowd saw a procession coming towards them. (To be continued......)
