Although Ye Chen didn't understand who made this rule, the war between the two countries must be resolved in the forbidden land, but since the forbidden land has existed for tens of thousands of years, there is a certain reason.

Nie Qingyun, who was in the royal courtyard, and the old man who had been transformed into a firebird that covered the sky, immediately hurried over after receiving Ye Chen's summons.

After some preparation, the group set off together.

On the banks of the Black River, there is a royal dock here, and a huge building ship is docked by the river, and everyone who is ready to go to the forbidden land is gathered here and begins to board the ship.

In addition to Ye Chen, Emperor Mingwu, Xiao Yi, etc., the twelve earthly powerhouses under Emperor Mingwu were also impressively listed, and the masters of the entire Xiwu Empire were almost emptied. Under the command of Ye Chen's mind, the golden yang eagle has been hovering in the sky, following Ye Chen and the others.

Emperor Mingwu specially disguised it so that others could not recognize it, otherwise if those courtiers knew that Emperor Mingwu had gone to the forbidden land and taken away all the Dizun masters, they were afraid that the entire Xiwu Empire would immediately fall into civil strife.

Before leaving, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty entrusted all the matters to Xuanyi Yaozun, thinking that with the status of Xuanyi Yaozun, he could still stabilize the hearts of the people.

If this battle can be won, the Seibu Empire will still be preserved, and if this battle is lost, the empire that has lasted for thousands of years will soon be wiped out.

The boat slowly left the dock and sailed down the river to the North Sea.

The Southern Barbarian Kingdom, a small city in the border county.

There is a large river that follows the river all the way through the borders of two small kingdoms to reach the North Sea, and those two small kingdoms are also subject to the Southern Barbarians.

Tuoba Hongye, the lord of the Southern Barbarian State, appeared in the city impressively, accompanied by a large number of generals and courtiers of the Southern Barbarian State, and there were hundreds of people.

Tuoba Hongye, who was dressed in a gorgeous robe, was surrounded by everyone, which was particularly eye-catching. The most noticeable, though. It was still a thin elder beside Tuoba Hongye, this old man was dressed in a shabby gray robe, he was too thin, his cheeks were almost sunken, and his eyes were extremely protruding. The old man was bald. With only a few loose hairs on his head, the old man could not be best described as described by bamboo poles, looking at his hands, which were as bony as wood. It's like a pair of iron hooks, but the arms are extremely long, and the body is a little rickety, and the arms are almost at the knee level when they fall.

It's really funny to look like this. However, none of the nearby generals and courtiers dared to laugh, but they were all very respectful.

Even Tuoba Hongye has great respect for this old man.

"Uncle, this time I can only let your old man go once, I got the latest news, a few masters suddenly appeared in the Xiwu Empire, Dongmen Yingyang and Si Kou Fengyan were both killed in battle, and they couldn't send too many people, and even if they sent the masters of the peak of Tianzun to go. I'm worried I won't be able to handle it. Tuoba Hongye said respectfully in front of the old man.

This old man is actually Tuoba Hongye's uncle?

Whether it is the people of the Xiwu Empire or the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, I am afraid that they rarely know the existence of such an old man.

"Contributing to our Southern Barbarian Country is also within my Tuoba Rock, I have been in the Central Empire for decades, but I didn't expect the Southern Barbarian Country to be under the leadership of my nephew. It has already grown to the point that if it is a few years later, it will not be difficult for the Tuoba family to enter the Central Empire in one fell swoop. I should also contribute to the Tuoba family. The Ming Wu child of the Xiwu Empire actually wanted to compete with our Tuoba family. It's really beyond my means. Tuoba Rock's voice was hoarse with a hint of sharpness, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to.

A group of courtiers and generals bowed down respectfully, and they all secretly speculated in their hearts about what the strength of this old man had reached.

"When my uncle returns to the Central Empire, my nephew will definitely prepare a generous gift to reward my uncle. Tuoba Hongye said humbly.

Tuoba Yan raised his eyebrows, but he was silent, although he reached the primary level of Xuanzun, but the primary level of Xuanzun was on the side of the Central Empire, but it was really nothing, he was an elder of the outer sect in a sect, but the monthly monthly salary was not much, although the Southern Barbarian Country was just a small country, but Tuoba Hongye was the lord of a country after all, and the things he took out should not be too bad.

"The virtuous nephew is polite, just do your best for your uncle. Tuoba Yan smiled and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"When my uncle triumphs, my nephew will definitely take care of my uncle!" Tuoba Hongye laughed loudly.

Surrounded by a group of courtiers, Tuoba Rock stepped on the warship by the river, accompanied by nineteen masters, including two Tianzun and seventeen Dizun.

In terms of national strength, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom surpasses the Seibu Empire by not knowing much.

Watching the warship slowly sail away from the dock, Tuoba Hongye stood on the shore, his sturdy body was like a straight gun, the wind was howling, the royal robe hunted, watching the warship disappear far away at the end of the river.

"At most, in three years, you will be able to conquer the Xiwu Empire, and the countries of the Eastern Plains, all of which will be in the middle of the war! In another ten years, you will be able to enter the Central Empire!" Tuoba Hongye said lightly, but his eyes were extremely bright, in order to achieve this goal, he had already spent an unknown amount of effort.

Next to him, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in royal robes stood beside Tuoba Hongye, who was Tuoba Yue, the prince of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

"Father, all the countries of the Eastern Plains have been conquered by us, why do we still want to enter the Central Empire? The masters of the Central Empire are like clouds, if we go over there, I'm afraid we will have to be inferior again, be careful to manage, and be a supreme emperor here, isn't it good?" Tuoba Yue looked at Tuoba Hongye and asked puzzled.

"Yue'er, why do you say that our Southern Barbarian Kingdom won, and why did the Xiwu Empire lose?" Tuoba Hongye smiled and looked at Tuoba Yue and asked.

"In the past few hundred years, the talents of the Xiwu Empire have withered, and our Southern Barbarian Kingdom is in full swing, annexing various countries one after another, and the national strength is strong. Tuoba Yue pondered for a moment and said, "This one is strong and the other is weak, and the Xiwu Empire will definitely be defeated." ”

Tuoba Hongye shook his head and said, "Wrong, a huge empire that has stood for thousands of years, how can it be said that it will fall?"

"Why?" Tuoba, the more puzzled.

"You only see the surface, but you don't see the deeper reason, since you are the crown prince, there are some things you should know. Tuoba Hongye pondered for a moment, and then said angrily, "Actually, the Southern Barbarian Country is not under the control of our Tuoba family. ”

Hearing Tuoba Hongye's words, Tuoba Yue was shocked, and lost his voice: "This is so possible, the Tuoba family is the royal family of the Southern Barbarian Country, and his father is the lord of the country, who dares to abuse power and control the Southern Barbarian Country?"

Tuoba Hongye touched Tuoba Yue's head, looked into the distance with far-reaching eyes, and said, "The one who controls the Tuoba family is a behemoth far away in the Central Empire, that is, the sect where your uncle is located. More than 300 years ago, the sect that the Seibu Empire relied on gradually declined and became a second-rate sect, and our barbarian kingdom happened to take refuge in your uncle's sect, and gained the support of that sect and began to annex the kingdoms. Three hundred years later, the Seibu Empire fell to Si, while the Southern Barbarian Kingdom gradually became stronger. Otherwise, why are there so many great sects in the Central Empire, and any one of them can destroy us lightly, but they don't come to forcibly seize our land? Because we are just their pawns, as long as that behemoth does not fall, our Southern Barbarian Kingdom can sit back and relax, and once they fall, then we will also perish at any time. ”

Tuoba Yue was shocked, and he gradually understood why his father insisted on entering the Central Empire.

"Fathers often teach their children to rely on the mountains and mountains, rely on everyone to fall, and rely on themselves in everything!" Tuoba Yue clenched his fists and said solemnly.

"Yes, that's it. Tuoba Hongye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he wanted to use me Tuoba Hongye as a chess piece to fiddle with, that would be too underestimate me Tuoba Hongye, "The reason why those big sects can stand tall is that it has been operated by several generations or even dozens of generations, and sooner or later, the Tuoba family will be under your control, and when the time comes, you will take the Tuoba family to become strong." ”

"The child will live up to his father's instructions, father, if we capture the Seibu Empire, we will be fully prepared to enter the Central Empire. There are many sects in the Central Empire, how can we gain a foothold in the Central Empire?" Tuoba Yue asked, among the countries of the Eastern Plains, the Tuoba family is indeed very strong, but when they go to the Central Empire, they are ants that can be trampled to death by any sect.

"This, I've told you, I'm afraid you don't understand, the Central Empire has the rules of the Central Empire, in the human world, there is a mysterious organization called the Law Enforcement Palace, after entering the Central Empire, you will come into contact with it, and it's a little too early to think about this now. Tuoba Hongye wanted to speak and stopped, but did not continue.

"What kind of organization is that, what kind of rules are the rules of the Central Empire?" Tuoba looked up at Tuoba Hongye suspiciously, but Tuoba Hongye was silent.

The river ahead is rushing and rolling away.

The Seibu Empire's ships sailed down the river, and after a day, they finally entered a wide and boundless sea, looking into the distance, the sea and the sky met as far as the eye could see.

The sea is a pure blue color, and the sea breeze blows to give people a feeling of relaxation and happiness.

As soon as it entered the sea, the little squid was extremely excited and danced.

"Little Squid, do you want to play in the sea?" asked Tsubasa when he saw Little Squid's appearance.

The little squid squinted and nodded his head incessantly, and the eight tentacles kept dancing in waves.

"Little Squid, will you not come back as soon as you go?" Xiao Yi asked worriedly, with a thick reluctance in his eyes.

Xiao Squid thought about it, shook his head, and followed Ye Chen, there are Soul Gathering Pills and Soul Condensing Pills to eat every day, if you go into the sea, you will have to hunt by yourself.

"Brother Ye Chen, let them drive the boat slower and let the little squid go into the sea to have some fun. Seeing Xiao Squid shaking his head, Xiao Yi immediately smiled, looked at Ye Chen and said.
