Chapter 168: The Seafood Merchant
To the north of the city of Lu in the Eastern Regions of the Great Shang, the army of Zhengyi and the army of Donglu were divided into two routes, Meng Wei took the king division to the north to clear the rebel army of Pinglinghou, while Jiang Huanchu took the princes of Donglu to the south to attack the city and conquer the cities of Dongyi.
Haizhou City, north of Lucheng, has lost contact, and Haizhou Bo has not been able to send out a trace of news, and the drama city near Lucheng has issued four or five orders for help.
"How's the battle going in Dengying?"
"According to the report from the scouts, the army of Pinglinghou has gone all the way south, and has now reached Dengying City, and some of them seem to be going all the way north, directly to Haizhou City and Chentang Pass."
The person who asked was none other than Zhao Que, the young master of Dengying City, who was complaining about the atrocities of Pinglinghou in tears at this moment.
"Pity my uncle, Baron Funing City, I thought that Marquis Pingling was invited to help, but I didn't expect him to be in the same room, and in a blink of an eye, he took down the seven cities north of my Dengying, the king, Uncle Ji, you have to be the master of my Dengying."
Meng Wei didn't answer, but carried the two prawns that Zhao Que brought over with the same height as Jingren, his face was a little strange, these were actually two skin shrimps, the world is so big that there are no surprises, and he has seen it for a long time.
"You say, there are all kinds of krakens in the army of Pinglinghou, but this kind of prawns are talking about?"
"But not only that, there are many huge crabs, the crab claw lightly clamped, the blades of the armorers will be cut off in response, and there are also many giant frogs, sea caterpillars, sea turtles and other krakens, they look very cute, but they are extremely ferocious."
Meng Wei's eyes lit up: "You say cruel? I asked you, have you ever eaten any of these things? ”
Zhao Que was so frightened that his face turned green, looking at the shape of the giant leather shrimp covered with spikes and back armor, he said with a wry smile: "Ji Bomo wants to joke, this thing is full of spikes, and there is no good meat on its body, how can it be eaten?" Even if you can eat it, this is a kraken after all, it should be poisonous, right? ”
"Hey, have you ever eaten the ring dog meat that merchants in northern Xinjiang usually sell? Why can a ring dog eat it, but this shrimp demon and crab demon can't eat it? ”
"Wu Dare! I brought these two giant shrimp to be processed, one steamed, and the other marinated in ginger, shallots, and sake. You don't dare to eat it, I won't invade it, I'll help you try the taste. ”
Seeing that Meng Jibo was doing something he couldn't understand again, Yu Hualong asked a little confused: "Uncle Ji, should we think about how to repel Pinglinghou now, this is ...... Is this strange thing that important? ”
Meng Wei wiped his hands and asked solemnly: "Mr. Yu, what are you joining the army for?" ”
"Of course, it is to protect the family and defend the country, and do my best for my business......"
"Okay, don't talk about it, the king is not here, what kind of official are you talking to me? In fact, many people are not as noble as General Yu thinks, soldiers and armor soldiers are actually very simple people, the capture of trophies, the promotion of meritorious deeds, this is what they want. ”
"In the Beihai in the past, a group of demons were haunting and strange beasts were rampant, why did so many armor soldiers rush to follow Meng to take risks? Merit is important, and so is the loot we captured in the North Sea. The merchants in the north sold all kinds of demon beasts and exotic beasts to the four frontiers, earning a lot of money, and the soldiers of Meng Wei also relied on the remuneration of these strange beasts, and their families were a lot richer, so they could save some money in the future, and they could also worry about food and clothing when they returned to their hometowns. ”
"If these giant seafood can be useful, let me tell you, not only will I not kill them all, but I will also raise them all on the East China Sea, serve them every day, and give me new seafood every day."
Just kidding, seafood is an expensive aquatic resource in the future, not to mention tuna, Australian dragon, I usually go to the vegetable market to buy seafood, the price is expensive and scary.
Thinking of this, Meng Wei made up his mind that he must make a recipe in the future, and record the taste of all the poisonous and non-poisonous monsters and spirits in the world, as well as cooking suggestions and benefits, so that future generations can cherish and see how comfortable it is for the ancestors to eat pure natural and radiation-free.
To get back to the point, Meng Wei seriously seized the loot, and how to use the resources of the Kraken for recycling, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the war with just one blood and ideals, and if you want the entire Donglu to attack the Pinglinghou group, or spontaneously exterminate the Kraken, it is better to heat up the seafood market.
Let all seafood be good and evil.
"However, has Deng Ying investigated where these krakens came from?"
"Yes, it's just that the scout doesn't dare to go deeper, the direction of the Kraken landing should be the coastal area of Pingling Country, from the waters of the East China Sea."
Meng Wei compared the map, silently noted down this terrain, from the current location, to the east is Dengying, up to Funing, Qiushui, Liangjie Mountain, is Pingling country. This way to push over, the difficulty is not small, there is a feeling of returning to Beihai to quell the rebellion, but this time the seafood monsters who are born in armor seem to be more difficult to deal with than the ring dogs.
However, there was one point, Meng Wei was very puzzled, and turned his head to Hu Lei's doppelganger and asked: "Last time it was the Beihai, this time it was the East China Sea, Hu Lei, if I remember correctly, is the Biyou Palace of our sect in Penglai Immortal Island?" With such a miasma of smoke under the saint's feet, don't those senior brothers and uncles of yours know to help the saint take care of it? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, Jinao Island, Kowloon Island, and Huolong Island are all in this area, right?"
Hu Lei was shocked, immediately retracted all his thoughts, and explained to Meng Wei: "Lord, this matter has nothing to do with my sect interception, how big the East China Sea is, and there are hundreds of millions of holy spirits born in it, I have always been self-conscious and kind to others, how can I incite demons to do evil, this matter should be asked to the Dragon Palace." ”
"Dragon Palace? Dragon Palace in the East China Sea? ”
"Exactly, there is a crystal palace under the East China Sea, and the dragon king Ao Guang in it rules the large and small maritime affairs of the East China Sea, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, he should know who the person who helped Ping Linghou is."
Listening to the two of them's guesses, Zhao Que couldn't help but interject: "Actually, there was a white dragon who came to call the battle before, saying that he wanted to compete with my Dengying warriors, and swallowed my Dengying three generals in a row, and the evil dragon once left a sentence, he said that he was the Pingbo Demon King, Ao San, if I don't accept it, I can go to Pingling Kingdom to find him for revenge." ”
"Ao San? ……”
Where did the two dragons come from, you have a pseudonym, it's okay to be serious, A, B, C, the third in line, do you still need to guess?
"Come, Hu Lei, talk to me about it, the heel of this East China Sea Dragon Palace."
Hu Lei said with a solemn face: "The Lord is better not to be impulsive, the power of the Dragon King is beyond your imagination." ”
"Can you have the power of a saint?"
One after another, eyes converged on Hu Lei, everyone was a mortal, or a non-native native of the East China Sea, so naturally they didn't know as much as Hu Lei.
"That's not true, the Palm Sect is all over the world, and the little Dragon King can't even beat my Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and Uncle, how can it be comparable to the Palm Sect."
Hearing this, Meng Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it's not just a matter of fighting with the saints, the few saints he has encountered so far are more clever than the other, and they can't be guarded against, but they think about it, if the dragon king has that strength, he won't succumb to the sea, and if he leaves the coastal area, there are not many people who can hear the name of Ao Guang.
"Lord, the Dragon King is just one of them, three hundred years ago, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, have taken the initiative to join the Heavenly Court with two sea areas, and the really tricky thing is that the Heavenly Court is not easy to deal with."
"Heavenly Court?!"
Meng Wei thought of the Jade Emperor who was fixed by the monkey for seven daughters and stole peaches, thinking about it carefully, now the person in charge of the heavenly court is higher than the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor is just a Taoist god who only appeared in the Song Dynasty, and Haotian God, that is really the god of God.
Speaking of which, signing the god list is the edict issued by Haotian God, and then Hongjun Dao people immediately summoned the three sects to sign the god list, Haotian God lives in the center of the heavenly palace, and the next position is the Tushi Palace of Taishang Laojun, which seems to be a little magical.
But Hu Lei is right, if it is only for the Dragon Palace, this matter can be big or small, if you can not make more enemies for yourself, try to solve it quickly, and first come to a person who does not know is not guilty, otherwise Meng Wei is a little suspicious, in case of real fire, will there be an old fairy running out, shouting misunderstanding, and then the same thing as the monkey taking the Western Meridian.
"This matter is very important, and it is not a matter of one person in the world, Hu Lei, you can quickly go back to Biyou Palace to see your master Fire Spirit Holy Mother, tell me about the matter here, and ask for help for my army."
"In this ......, if there is no order from the master, the master and the uncles will not dare to go out of the mountain."
"You just go, when you return to the palace, the saint will not notice you in his own territory, you just need to tell it, everything is based on the teachings of the saint."
"No!"
Hu Lei's stand-in exploded and turned into fine sand sprinkled outside the door, and Meng Wei also appeased Zhao Que, who came to ask for help, got out of the camp, and went straight to the place where the Great King Emperor Xin was, telling the story of the matter.
Di Xin frowned, it seemed that the good mood that had only recovered for a few days was stained with gloom again, after listening to Meng Wei's thoughts and plans, Di Xin did not say anything, but just took out a leather scroll from his sleeve and handed it over.
"What is this? A letter from Chaoge? ”
can make the king so heavy, I'm afraid it wasn't for the sudden change in Chaoge.
"Chongying Biao stabbed Bo Yi Kao with a sword on the street? it! What kind of doggy plot is this? Why did Chongying Biao kill Bo Yi Kao? ”
Meng is irritable, sometimes a group of people make careful plans, spend countless time and energy, want to implement something, seeing that some results are produced, and when the dawn is about to come, there is always some rat feces to run out and spoil a pot of porridge.
It's good to be an opponent, but it's disgusting to be a teammate.
In Meng Wei, he has no feelings for Chongying Biao, what young master, eldest prince, in fact, he doesn't care, and he never thought about inheriting any Chong's national body in the past, but he doesn't want to be one thing, and others think it's another thing whether he wants to or not.
Looking at Meng Wei's angry appearance, Di Xin said in a deep voice: "Ji Chang has just returned to China, and I heard that Bo Yi Kao was seriously injured and dying in Chaoge, so he directly sent Jia Mengguan to Chonghou Hu to ask for an explanation, I want to go back." ”
"What about the Grand Master? Isn't Taishi in Northern Xinjiang? ”
"The divination of the Great Witch Festival is never wrong, the Seven Killing Stars in the North are present, and there is a war in Liaodong, since the Great Witch Festival says that there is, then there must be. Don't worry, I will only take Lu Renjie's department, Yu Hualong and the former army will be left to you, leaving you a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, can you deal with it? ”
To tell the truth, Meng Wei wants to go back to Northern Xinjiang and go to Jiamengguan, but his identity is still not qualified, and he may not be able to be a good intermediary and mediate the dispute between the two uncles.
In addition, Bo Yi Kao did not die, but was seriously injured, and Ji Chang was not necessarily broken by the net of Chongguo's death, it was more likely to be a threat to use.
Extinguish the fault of Bo Yi Kao, and also find an opportunity to stop the battle of Inurong in time.
"One hundred thousand is enough, but, my lord, what if the minister really confronts the heavenly court?"
"Do you still need to ask me? You have already answered it yourself. ”
"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!"
"Haotian God is in charge of the heavens, the world, and I have the final say!"
"No! The ministers will end it as soon as possible to avoid provoking the wrath of the heavens! ”
