Chapter 34: Blockade

Three days after the bonfire, in Tiandu City, the capital of the Great Wei Empire, in the magnificent Imperial Hall of Tiandu City, 600 imperial historians passed a decree calling for sanctions against the Kawa State by an overwhelming majority of more than two-thirds after the end of the vote.

The note comes from a foreign affairs official from the Ministry of Rites, who details the circumstances of Egand's fall and the current state of affairs in the country.

If you don't look at the map, the vast majority of people may not know where this small country with a strange name is.

But when I saw the middle part of the song, almost everyone's faces changed.

"Upon investigation, the top brass of the Kawa rebels may have been deeply poisoned by the idea of a tyrant's kingdom...... At the beginning of the civil war, the Kawa army captured three volumes of the Marches from the rebels, which detailed the history of the founding and development of the Chita Protectorate...... After the establishment of the new government, there was already evidence that the rebels were seeking cooperation with the chamber of commerce of Chita Lusen in the Southern Rainforest...... The details and physical evidence have been submitted to the Imperial Library, and I hope that the Holy Majesty and the Lords will take a closer look......"

At the end of the song, there is such a sentence, "If the anthill is not noticed, it will eventually burst the embankment for thousands of miles; The spark is not extinguished, and the wildfire is incomprehensible. I hope that the Holy Lord and the princes will make a decision as soon as possible, and don't make the Tainuo Sect reappear in the Northern Rainforest Continent! ”

……

Another three days passed.

The Kingdom of Taino, the city of Taino, the study of the president of the North Rainforest Branch of the Fruit Tree Chamber of Commerce.

Zhu Long, the president of the North Rainforest Continent Branch of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, was sitting on his leather chair, enjoying the sunlight from the large glass window while looking at the official document in his hand.

There was a knock on the door to the study.

"Come in."

The door was opened, and Steward Chen of the branch walked in with a tall and thin middle-aged man with bright eyes.

"Branch president, this is Lu Ming, who will always come, Lu Steward."

"I've heard of it for a long time." Zhu Long hurriedly put down the official document and stood up with a smile, "Last year, I heard that there was a new capable person next to the Shaodong family, but it's a pity that the younger brother was in turmoil and couldn't return to Tiandu to talk to Brother Lu." Lao Chen, go and bring the Qinggu brown beans I bought a few days ago. ”

After saying this, Zhu Long looked at Lu Ming again and said with a smile: "The Northern Rainforest is a poor and remote place, and the brown beans produced are much better than those in China, and the brown beans made are also very mellow. ”

Lu Ming smiled gently, "Brothers, it's a pity that the younger brother has other official affairs, I'm afraid I don't have time to talk to the brothers today, and I will personally come to the door to make amends with the brothers and conspire to get drunk." ”

After saying this, Lu Ming seemed to casually glance at Steward Chen beside him.

Zhu Long understood, and hurriedly said to Steward Chen: "Old Chen, since this is the case, you go and get busy first, and I will talk to Steward Lu about something."

Steward Chen answered, walked out quickly, and after going out, he turned around, gently closed the door of the study, and went downstairs to work.

After more than half an hour, Lu Ming came down from the upper floor, said goodbye and left.

Steward Chen hurriedly went upstairs and knocked on the door of the study again.

Walking into the study, Steward Chen saw Zhu Long who was leaning on a leather chair, Zhu Long was holding an envelope in his hand, which seemed to be brought by Lu Ming and handed to him.

"President, the owner sent it for the sake of the Kawa country?" Steward Chen asked softly.

"Could it be for something else at this point in time?"

"Someone replied so soon? Has it been done? Steward Chen was slightly surprised.

"Of course, didn't I tell you last time, I have already prepared what the owner needs." Zhu Long said with some smugness.

"The president will be wise." Steward Chen smiled and patted the butt of the stallion in front of him, "How did you do it, it's the first time I've seen the old men of Tiandu City so efficient." ”

"After reading the next delivery of the newspaper, you will naturally know." Zhu Long said with a smile, "As long as you know how to poke the lungs of those imperial masters in Wutai, they are naturally extremely efficient, and you can even save a lot of money for lobbying." Not to mention that the Holy Lord and the princes of the Eastern and Western Governments would not have other opinions on this kind of matter. ”

"The owner and the president, you are all talented people, high, really high!" Steward Chen gave a thumbs up, "Then I'll be busy first, and I have to sort out the new manifest today." ”

After Steward Chen left, Zhu solemn leaned back in his chair, he looked at the hourglass clock hanging on the wall on the right, and thought in his heart: "If that land steward is right, calculate the time, the fourth detachment of the Third Fleet should have pulled anchor by now, and in a few days, it will be able to reach the coast of Kawa Country to start a blockade." The letters of state to the neighboring countries of Kawa should have been sent out of the heavenly capital, and the Tiqi Division will also start working during this time, and when the time comes, several parties will work together, and everything will fall into place. ”

"In the past few years, I should be able to do things in the eyes of the owner, although the sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and there is a lot of business and oil and water, but for me, I still have to return to Dawei to have a future after all......

Thinking of this, Zhu Long couldn't help but proudly touch his very beautifully trimmed beard, "But then again, after all these years of helming such an important branch in the Northern Rainforest, if there is always someone to promote, who else can there be besides me?" ”

"The second son's ability over the years has indeed grown, that Lu Steward should be working under him, Lu Steward's background is probably very unusual, he acts in a straightforward manner, and his tone of speech has some martial arts style, isn't it from which spy in the official government Yamen retired and joined the Chamber of Commerce as a consultant?"

……

Twelve days have passed since the bonfire ended.

Of course, the word calm is only for Shi Cheng and the others, Xianyou Village is not calm during this time, and one of the main reasons is that the Juntian Order has begun to be officially implemented.

The joy after the bonfire party was pushed to a climax, and even the number of villagers who came to place offerings in front of the hut where Shi Cheng and the three lived doubled, and in the minds of many people, it was the arrival of the three immortals that allowed them to touch a life that they had never dared to imagine in their dreams.

……

"It's still comfortable to bask in the sun." Wu Neng lay on his back on the branch of an old tree, twisting his body like a lazy male cat, stretching his muscles and bones.

After the bonfire, it rained in the village for four or five days in a row, and finally it cleared up in the past few days.

Shi Cheng and Tie Mian sat quietly under the tree, Shi Cheng had a grass stalk in his mouth, and he was chatting with Wu Neng while looking at the busy farming scene in the field in the distance. Tie Mian is still the same as always, meditating and practicing under the tree.

"Lao Shi, you see that the villagers have been busy with farm work for almost an hour, haven't you gotten tired of watching it?" Wu Neng was speechless.

"Isn't this going to bask in the sun with you?" Shi Cheng sprayed out the grass stalks and straightened his body slightly, "But I have to say that the boundary of Rainforest Continent is fertile, and the rain and heat are sufficient, and it is said that the crops in the field can have two or even three crops within a year. ”

"Abundant products...... How I can't see it. Wu Neng muttered quietly.

Seeing that Shi Cheng stopped talking, Wu Neng felt a little bored, so he put on the idea of iron mask again, "I said Lao Tie, I just watch you practice there on weekdays, don't you feel bored." Hey, by the way, I made some chess pieces when I was idle two days ago, how about we play chess? ”

"The rules of chess for our Chita are completely different from those of you Cold Moon people, how to play?" Shi Cheng asked.

"Oh, it's very simple, besides, you and Lao Tie are so smart, isn't that a matter of learning?" Wu Neng jumped down from the tree, "You wait, I'll take out the chess pieces, the chessboard, let's draw it on the ground." ”

"How about we, let's do it together?" Shi Cheng leaned over to Tie Mian and asked with a smile.

Iron Mask finally opened his eyes and said, "You are so slack, if you want to fight the Lu clan head-on in the future, what will you do?" ”

"Hey, old Wu, someone said bad things about you." Shi Cheng raised his head and shouted to Wu Neng, and when he turned his head back, he saw that Iron Mask was extremely calm, forcing his eyes.

"Alright, no kidding." Shi Cheng's expression became a little more serious, "Have you ever heard of the truth that when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses?" ”

Iron Mask didn't answer.

Shi Zhi said: "If you compare me to a container, then the container is already full of water. Iron Mask, what I need is not to accumulate true qi, but to realize and transform. ”

"If you slack off all day long and have nothing to do, can you realize the Tao and advance to the next level?" Iron Mask asked.

"Behind closed doors and ignoring the world, can you enlighten and advance?" Shi Cheng asked rhetorically.

Wu Neng looked left and right a little helplessly, not knowing how to persuade the two to argue.

Just as Iron Mask was about to fight back, a panicked voice suddenly came from the path to the south, "There are monsters on the sea, folks, there are monsters on the sea!" ”

The three of them turned their heads together to look south, only to see a young short-haired villager stumbling over, shouting hoarsely, "Run, run!" ”

It was not only the short-haired villagers who ran from the south, and soon, six more villagers ran from the south, and everyone was panicked.

The villagers, who were working in the fields, also stirred.

"What the hell is going on?"

"It's Kublin, why is it panicking like this?"

"They say there are monsters on the sea!"

"Got monsters? Sea monster? I've never heard of anything like this in the sea near our village. ”

"Come on, let's go take a look."

"Little brother, what's going on." Seeing that the villagers who were running at the front had already arrived in front of him, Wu Neng hurriedly stood up and stopped the villagers who were running at the front.

After seeing Wu Neng's face, the villagers finally calmed down, and he hurriedly shouted behind him: "Fellow villagers, the three immortals are here, they are saved, they are saved!" ”

The villagers who had been busy with the farming all gathered around.

"Folks, I'm really not lying, there are several monsters on the sea, it seems that there is still iron armor outside, about this big, much bigger than all the houses in the south of the village combined, isn't that a sea monster?"

Everyone talked about it, but through the rendering of so many villagers running from the south side of the village, everyone looked south with a deep look of fear.

Shi Cheng thought for a moment, stepped forward, and said, "I'll take a look." Iron Mask, Old Wu, do you want to come with me? ”

Seeing that the two nodded, Shi Cheng didn't say much, and strode directly towards the south of the village, followed by Wu Neng and Tie Mian.

"Great, the immortals don't have to be afraid here."

"Thank you to the immortals, thank you to the immortals!"

"Okay, stop talking!" A loud shout rang out in the crowd.

The person who spoke was a member of the Resistance, named Teso, who needed to bring the new members of the Officers' League into the city these days, and he and Ferejo were not in the village for the time being, and it was Teso who was currently acting as the village chief.

"Shi Chengyi has helped us so much, are you just here to watch them go on an adventure?" Teso said, "There are still eggs, come with me to the beach to have a look!" ”

With that, he also left the crowd and rushed in the direction where Shi Cheng and the three of them left.

……

"Old Shi, that ...... Is that! ”

As soon as the three of them arrived on the beach, they were stunned by what they saw.

"Warship ......" Shi Cheng's face changed, "The Thirteen-Star Sky Flag is the fleet of the Wei State Naval Division. One heavy armored ship and three light armored ships are relatively standard small formations that perform combat missions, why did they come here? ”

Just when Shi Cheng and the others were in shock, the Wei fleet that was cruising in the deep water area in the distance changed, and a heavy armored ship in the formation stepped forward, and the port side of the battleship was facing Xianyou Village surrounded by cooking smoke.

With Shi Cheng's eyesight, he could even see the number of the former battleship, which was thirty-four written in Yamabara's number.
