Chapter 998: Entering East Turtle City

Bai Suji, the young king of Qiuci Kingdom, has paid a lot of price on the road to becoming the king of Qiuci and has experienced a lot of power struggles.

After becoming the king of Qiuci, Bai Suji can be said to be working hard, wanting to make the country of Qiuci go to the next level and become a real power in the Western Regions, and even thought about challenging the powerful Tang Empire of Middle Earth.

With the help of the status of Qiuci Kingdom in transit among the countries of the Western Regions, Bai Suji, the king of Qiuci, quickly used the merchants who came and went to develop the national strength of Qiuci Kingdom.

Give convenience to the merchants of the Western Regions in the past, so as to gain the favor of the merchants of the Western Regions, obtain some goods from the Western Regions and Middle Earth in a very cheap way, and use those cheaply obtained goods to quickly rebuild the three cities of the Qiuzi Kingdom, and establish the military fortress of the East Turtle City.

It can be said that Bai Suji, the king of Qiuzi, spent almost all his material and financial resources on the improvement of national strength.

In just a few years, the country of Qiuzi has become one of the most powerful countries in the Western Regions, with a military power that is not lost to any country in the Western Regions.

It's just that Bai Suji, the king of Qiuci, has always been dissatisfied that although the national strength of Qiuci has increased, the territory has never expanded, and there is still a long way to go from his dream of entering Middle-earth, because Qiuci is really far away from Middle-earth.

For this matter, the king of Qiuci almost tried his best, and even did not hesitate to start a war against Shanshan Kingdom in the east, and after a long battle, Qiuci Kingdom finally failed to achieve any results.

After the war with Shanshan, King Qiuzi thoroughly reflected on himself and decided to find a better way again.

After a series of assumptions, in the end, King Qiuci set his sights on the four gods of Qiuci Kingdom, and he felt that if he could get the support of the gods, then Qiuci Kingdom would definitely be able to become more powerful, and if there were gods who could help fight, Qiuci Kingdom would definitely be able to attack Middle-earth in one fell swoop.

It's just that. It was really difficult to get the gods to make a move, because the gods of the Western Regions were all bound to the cities of the Western Regions.

Those gods stayed in their respective cities, accepted the worship of the people in the city, and the people who passed by, and gained the power of faith but could only shelter the city, and there was no way to really leave the city.

Bai Suji dreamed that the gods could leave the city and follow his army to conquer the Quartet, and I have to say that his idea was very crazy and extremely naïve.

Almost no one in the entire country of Qiuzi was optimistic about this whimsical thing, including the priests who believed in and served the gods.

But Bai Suji is indeed a lucky man. Just when everyone didn't support his idea, he suddenly got the news that the Sand Sea Empire had sent out a treasure, and if he obtained that treasure, the gods in the city would be able to leave the city where he was.

At first, this matter was just a rumor from the sand sea, but after the transmission of some well-intentioned people, it gradually became more and more real, making all the countries in the Western Regions have endless yearning.

Naturally, Bai Suji will not let go. He quickly sent someone to investigate the truth of the matter, and at the same time he personally entered the temple to ask the gods of the country of Qiuzi for advice.

The result made Bai Suji feel extremely excited, and the gods of the Turtle Kingdom confirmed it. The rumors of that treasure are true, and Bai Suji is promised that as long as he brings the treasure, then the gods of the country of Qiuzi. will promise to help him conquer the Quartet, and even attack the Tang Empire in Middle-earth.

With the affirmation and commitment of the gods, Bai Suji naturally would not let go of such an opportunity. Immediately, people were sent around to find the whereabouts of the treasure.

In fact, at this time, many people have already learned of this news, and the entire Western Regions is crazy about this news, large and small countries, as well as those independent city-states, all want to get that treasure, so that their gods can gain more power.

Speaking of which, I don't know if it is providence, just when the countries of the Western Regions were racking their brains to find it, the treasure was accidentally obtained by a caravan under the command of Li Chengxian, and quickly sent the treasure to Li Chengxian's station in the Western Regions, and handed over the things to Li Chengxian's eldest son.

At that time, Li Chengxian was still in the Tang Empire and did not return to the Western Regions, and Li Chengxian's eldest son got the treasure and sent someone to inform Li Chengxian as soon as possible.

And after consulting with the younger brothers and sisters who stayed behind, it was decided to send the treasure out of the Western Regions as much as possible, as long as the countries of the Western Regions could not get this treasure, then it would not pose a threat to the Tang Empire.

After Li Chengxian learned the news, he also sent back his son and daughter who were following him, and asked them to pick up his eldest son and others, while he himself attacked overnight to meet the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, hoping to get the Holy Emperor's support.

However, at that time, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress were all on Lu Xiusius, and they didn't care about the treasure in the Western Regions at all, and they didn't agree to send someone to pick up Li Chengxian.

Li Chengxian waited for many days without news, but received the news that his eldest son had exposed his whereabouts and was arrested in Qiuzi Country.

Li Chengxian entered the palace again to meet the Holy Emperor, hoping that the Holy Emperor would be able to send troops to help him and rescue his captured sons and daughters under the condition of brotherly affection and his support for the Tang Empire alone in the Western Regions over the years.

But he didn't expect that the Holy Emperor would directly refuse, and also counted Li Chengxian all the way, and blamed Li Chengxian for provoking the countries of the Western Regions at such a time.

The disheartened Li Chengxian could only leave Chang'an, originally planning to return to the Western Regions alone to deal with the incident, and try to find a way to rescue his son and daughter.

On the way back, a strategist beside Li Chengxian gave him advice, analyzed the current situation in the Western Regions, and made it clear that Li Chengxian's own strength was a drop in the bucket, and it was not enough to compete with the countries of the Western Regions, especially the Qiuzi Kingdom, which was not weak in the Western Regions.

And if you go back rashly, even if you mobilize all your strength, I am afraid that it may not be able to play any role, and you may even be in danger.

Since he couldn't count on the empire, he could only look for another helper, and the strategist finally recommended Lecius to Li Chengxian.

According to the analysis of the strategists, Lucius originally had a unstable foothold in Middle-earth, and now he was suspicious of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, and there was no place to stay, so at this time, Li Chengxian asked him for help, and promised some benefits, coupled with the mystery of the Western Regions, it should be able to attract Lucius to come.

Sure enough, Lee Seung-hyun finally enlisted the help of Lucius. It's just that now seeing the strong fight of the troops under Lu Xiusius, Li Chengxian feels that he may be a little burned.

Originally, according to the discussion between Li Chengxian and the strategists, he wanted to use the strength of Lucius to rescue people first, and then use the strength of the countries of the Western Regions to get rid of Lucius.

So that Li Chengxian and they can get the maximum benefit, but now it seems that the strength in the hands of Lu Chengxian is beyond Li Chengxian's imagination, and now the initiative is in the hands of Lu Chengxian, but Li Chengxian does not have any initiative.

Now everything is Lucius making up his mind, and Li Chengxian has become a vassal instead. More often than not, Li Chengxian didn't even have a chance to speak.

Lucius's strong expression is in all aspects, as if now they are directly entering the East Turtle City, Lu Xius does not even have the slightest concealment, it is simply swaggering and directly entering the city, although there is a general from the East Turtle City to lead the way, but such a blatant thing really makes Li Chengxian feel terrified.

In the East Turtle City, more than half of the troops of the entire Qiuci country are stationed, and this military fortress is the most important military point of the Qiuci country, and it is also the reliance of the Qiuci country to conquer the Quartet.

Even though the whole city seems to be ordinary. There are even ordinary people living inside and outside the city, but in fact, the people inside and outside the city only provide services for the army in the city, and almost all of the army's food, drink, and Lazar are provided by these people.

This practice is a self-sufficient practice. It can solve the problem of the survival of the army in a closed environment as much as possible, and at the same time, it can also hide the military strength of the Qiuzi country as much as possible.

It can be said that because of the existence of this city. The strength of the country has always been a mystery, and many people don't even know how many troops the country has and the surrounding countries. Because of this, he often suffered losses in the war and was defeated by the sudden surprise soldiers of the Qiuzi country.

Although there have been people who have entered the East Turtle City before, almost none of them have been able to find anything, and some people have even disappeared into the city.

Thinking of these, Li Chengxian walked in the city, and he would have a creepy feeling, and he always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him.

Lucius didn't seem to be afraid or worried, and followed Nalidu's side lightly, scanning the scenes on both sides of the streets around the city, and from time to time the people in the city would say hello, and even stop at some of the stalls in the city to see the goods on the stalls.

Lecius's approach worries Lee Chengxian, whose nerves are always tense and he doesn't even dare to have a conversation with the others around him.

After walking around the city, Lucius said to Na Lidu with a low smile: "It seems that there are not many troops in your city, and the reason why your city is terrifying is probably due to the problem of the gods of this city?"

Na Li was shocked when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Lucius to be able to see through the secrets of the city.

In fact, there are not many troops in the East Turtle City, but a strong army of the Turtle Kingdom is stationed, and the reason why it has a lot of troops is the trick of the gods in the East Turtle City.

In other words, after the Qiuci Kingdom transferred all the troops in the city, that god was able to fabricate a large army, so that everyone thought that the Qiuci Kingdom still had troops, which naturally made everyone afraid of the Qiuci Kingdom and did not dare to attack lightly.

When Lucius actually stepped into the Eastern Turtle City, he had already discovered the problem and quickly locked on to the deity in the temple.

I have to say that the strength of that god itself is not strong, but that god is a god who is good at the art of change.

The gods who are good at the art of change are definitely not as good as the fighting gods like Liu Angzhuo in terms of combat strength, but they are very good at camouflage, and they can even confuse the real with fake in many cases, even if they are fighting gods like Liu Angzhuo, they may not be able to match it in many cases.

Under the protection of his blind eyes, he can naturally ensure the safety of the Eastern Turtle City, and no one dares to approach the Eastern Turtle City lightly, and the Turtle Kingdom is using an empty city as an invisible pressure to deter the countries of the Western Regions.

Lucius was not frightened, he naturally walked around the city, and secretly sent his own mechanical reconnaissance bugs to quickly search for the whereabouts of Li Chengxian's arrested children in the city, and at the same time, he also carried out an all-round exploration of the entire East Turtle City.

As a general in the East Turtle City, Na Lidu's status is not high after all, although he knows that people are locked up in the city, but he doesn't know where it is.

Stay by Lucius's side, listen to Lucius, and help Lucius explain where the place he has found is.

Before I knew it, a group of people had already gone deep into the city, and after a while, the top boss of Na Lidu appeared, riding a tall horse and scolding very unceremoniously: "Na Lidu, you are still wandering around the city, how is the thing that you are going to do?"

Facing his immediate boss, Na Lidu felt a little unconvinced, but he had to respond to the other party.

It's just that now that Lucius and the others are around, Na Lidu doesn't know how to answer, so he can only glance at Lucius quietly.

To Nali's surprise, Lucius seemed to know that he would see it, and with a smile on his face, he whispered, "It's okay, you just follow the response we discussed earlier." ”

Na Lidu responded according to what he said before: "I naturally have done it, these people are the ones I brought back, Su Chun, although you are my boss, but you are still polite about some things, the two of us are the same in terms of official positions." ”

The guy named Su Chun, when he heard this, squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Xiusi and the others, and responded to Na Lidu with a sneer: "Hehe, you also want to be on an equal footing with me? ”

Listening to the other party's disdainful ridicule, Na Li suddenly felt angry.

Without waiting for Nali to do it, Su Chu saw Caroline, Modès and Qilier, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward excitedly and looked at the three women carefully.

Swallowing his saliva, he said, "Hehe, these women are good, come on, send the three of them back to the mansion for me first, and the others will send me to the dungeon." ”

Hearing this, Lucius glanced at Li Chengxian, but Li Chengxian immediately stepped forward and said, "Wait, why are you arresting us? Do you still have a royal law, we are serious merchants in the Western Regions, and you are detaining us for no reason, aren't you afraid that we will sue you?"

When the general heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you want to sue, okay, then go, hehe, but I'm afraid you won't have that chance." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, arrest them all, and close them for a few days to reduce the fire." (To be continued......)
