Qiu Zimo and Feng Yichen had been staying overseas for almost three months, and they didn't know that at this time, the Central Plains, the day of the Nine Nations Alliance was coming.

"Now it is basically certain that it was this woman named Nakajo Jingna who shot the cold arrow at that time. ”

"However, the rivers and lakes are not as good as the court, and there is always a group of subordinates around the woman, and the little minions are not counted, but those people are at least masters of the God Transformation Realm. In addition, she stays in the palace all year round, so it is a little troublesome to move. ”

Feng Yichen and Qiu Zimo sat in front of a small stall and talked in a low voice.

The two of them had already figured out that in the palace of the Huolan Empire, there was also a divine archer, whose strength had reached the peak of the ninth grade, that is, the half-step immortal gate realm at the same level as the top ten masters.

"She'll be out of the palace, have you noticed that a lot of people have come in their imperial capital recently? Qiu Zimo said.

"Calculating the days, it should be almost the Nine Nations Alliance, without our town, Your Majesty will not suffer, right?" Feng Yichen was a little worried.

"Didn't you let your eldest apprentice Xiahou Yun go? With him, it's not a big problem, and our Majesty has a lot of back-ups. "Qiu Zimo is old and mature, and he is not worried about the safety of Emperor Wei at all.

"I always feel that there is a conspiracy, but you have found out that there is not, in fact, the strength of the Huolan Empire is still very sufficient. ”

"There may be three reasons for this. First, the Huolan Empire itself has abundant troops, even if more than half of the army is transferred to attack the Central Plains, there are still enough troops left to defend against the enemy's attack. ”

"Second, this abundance of troops is only an illusion to confuse the enemy. ”

"The third type, the army of the Huolan Empire, not a single soldier has left at all!"

Feng Yichen wrinkled his brows and analyzed.

"I've noticed what you said, and it's a bit strange. When we came, we also saw a large number of warships sailing away from afar, so the Huolan Empire did send troops, but now their domestic troops still seem to be abundant. ”

Qiu Zimo felt that it was necessary to report the situation here to Emperor Wei.

"Go to the cloth shop. Qiu Zimo picked up Feng Yichen and left.

"Hey, wait, my cake isn't good yet!" Qiu Zimo pointed to the stall owner who was busy, and on the iron pot, there were his pancakes.

"What you eat, it's all about business. Qiu Zimo didn't give Feng Yichen a chance to run back to get the cake.

Along the way, Feng Yichen had a dark face, touched his stomach, and snorted at Qiu Zimo angrily.

"Don't be naïve, you're old, don't be ashamed. Qiu Zimo said lightly.

"Why are you so old? I'm only fifty-three! Where am I old?" Feng Yichen's eyes widened.

Indeed, if calculated according to his strength, he can live for at least two hundred years, and fifty-three years old is indeed not too old.

There is an inconspicuous grocery store in the imperial city of the Huolan Empire, and looking at the daily business situation, it is enough to barely make a living.

"Boss, do you have a high-quality embroidered cloth? My daughter is about to give birth, buy a few pieces of red embroidered cloth to please me. ”

An old woman slipped into the grocery store and said to the middle-aged shopkeeper standing behind the counter.

"Yes, what do you think of this? It's definitely of the highest quality, this piece of cloth, a tael of silver is enough. The middle-aged shopkeeper turned around and picked up a red embroidered cloth from the cabinet, I don't know what kind of flowers were embroidered on it, but it made people feel very good-looking.

"One or two...... Is there anything cheaper?" said the old woman, touching the money bag around her waist, and said with some embarrassment.

The living conditions in overseas non-local areas are far inferior to those in the Central Plains, and for them, these two taels of silver are equivalent to ten taels of silver.

"Then how many sizes do you want? I'll cut a little bit for you, and you can't be shabby if you add new ones to your home." The middle-aged shopkeeper said.

"Thank you, thank you so much, give me fifteen feet. The old woman said.

"Wait a minute. The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled kindly and began to measure the cloth.

In a few moments, fifteen feet of cloth were cut, folded, and handed into the hands of the old woman.

"How much does it cost?" asked the old woman.

"Give me a knife. The middle-aged shopkeeper said.

"Huh?" the old woman seemed to be in disbelief, how could it be so cheap?

In overseas Africa, thousands of countries large and small, each country's monetary unit is not uniform, and it is very different from the Central Plains.

The price of this knife is equivalent to the price of half a copper in the Central Plains.

"Hehe, just when I want to be happy. The middle-aged shopkeeper laughed.

"Thank you! Thank you!" the old woman wept in gratitude, and finally dropped the three knives before picking up the cloth and leaving.

After the old woman left, two more followed.

"According to the way you do business, no wonder you don't make money. Feng Yichen shrugged.

The middle-aged shopkeeper didn't speak, just left the counter, sealed the door with a door panel, and hung a closed plaque outside.

After doing all this, the middle-aged shopkeeper said: "The people here are all poor, a few rags, if it weren't for the fear that the woman would not accept it, I would like to send it directly." ”

"Oh yo ho, you are so generous, take the money given by His Majesty, borrow flowers to offer Buddha as a favor?" Feng Yichen teased.

"Alas, you don't understand. In fact, the common people here are really simple and kind, and they are warlike, but those who are officials. ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper sighed, living here all the year round also made him familiar with the customs here.

"So what? They can only accept their fate, blaming them for their bad fate, being born in such a country. Feng Yichen said.

"Having said that, after all, we are all human beings and should be equal. The middle-aged shopkeeper sighed again.

"I said, you won't be rebelled, right?" Feng Yichen frowned.

The middle-aged shopkeeper glanced at Feng Yichen and said, "Say, what's the matter." ”

"Send a letter to Your Majesty, urgently, it must be fast. Qiu Zimo took over.

"It's about the strength of the Fire Lan Empire, right?" asked the middle-aged shopkeeper.

"It seems that you have already sent the news over?" Feng Yichen was stunned for a moment.

"Half a month ago, I noticed that the strength of the Huolan Empire was not less at all, and where was the appearance of going on an expedition. So I had already ordered someone to bring the news back, and if it was fast, it would have been in the hands of His Majesty three days ago. The middle-aged shopkeeper said.

"That's good. Feng Yichen and Qiu Zimo breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Do you have any thoughts on this matter?" asked Qiu Zimo again.

"Thousands of overseas countries, there are only a dozen of them that can really get on the table, and the other countries have a population of basically hovering in the millions, and the number of troops they have is tens of thousands, and even some small countries have only more than 100 troops!"

"More than a dozen powerful countries that have been on the table have undergone a major reshuffle a year ago, annexing countless small countries, and now there are only more than 100 countries overseas. ”

"Among these more than 100 countries, the strength of the Huolan Empire is the most. The status and strength of the Huolan Empire in overseas Africa is equivalent to the status and strength of our Wei State in the Nine Kingdoms of the Central Plains. ”

"I suspect that the army attacking the Central Plains this time is a temporary patchwork army, and it is likely that the surrendered troops of those defeated countries have been pulled over, and the purpose should be to test and consume the strength of the nine countries of the Central Plains. The middle-aged shopkeeper analyzed.

"There's a bit of truth to what you say. According to our Majesty's speculation, overseas non-local countries will have to wait another year at the earliest before they have enough strength to launch an attack on our Central Plains. If it's a temptation this time, it all makes sense. ”

Feng Yichen nodded approvingly.

"But Mu Yi Hongya went. The middle-aged shopkeeper said.

"So what?" Feng Yichen was puzzled.

"Let Mu Yi Hongya stay there forever. His Majesty once commented on this young man, equating him with the current King of Chu, and he is a person who should not be underestimated. Qiu Zimo said.

"Since it's a temptation, it doesn't seem to make sense to let such an important person lead the army in the past?" Feng Yichen frowned, and doubts arose in his heart.

"Don't worry so much, I received news that Nakajo Jingna will return to her hometown in two days, and there is a road sixty miles outside the imperial city, and you can ambush her there. The middle-aged shopkeeper said.

"Are you sure?" asked Qiu Zimo.

The task of the middle-aged shopkeeper here is to collect all kinds of information, and he has his own reliable sources of information.

"Well, the news is reliable, and she doesn't bring any retinue. The middle-aged shopkeeper nodded.

"Then we will set out tomorrow, and you will show us the way. Qiu Zimo said.

"No problem, I'll have the necessary supplies ready. The middle-aged shopkeeper nodded again.

"However, you must be careful, this Nakajo Jingna, who can become the third master of the Huolan Empire, is definitely not in vain. The middle-aged shopkeeper reminded.

"Third master, does it mean that the Huolan Empire still has two half-step immortal sect masters?" Qiu Zimo frowned, but he underestimated the Huolan Empire.

You must know that in their Central Plains Nine Kingdoms, a country has an average of a half-step immortal master.

"No, there are five masters of the same realm as you, there are five in the Huolan Empire. The middle-aged shopkeeper stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right at the two of them.

"Five?" Feng Yichen's eyes widened, what kind of joke is this, a country has five half-step immortal sect masters?

"It is undeniable that in terms of peak masters, overseas non-local places are more powerful than our Central Plains. The middle-aged shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders and seemed to have accepted this fact a long time ago.

Compared with Qiu Zimo and Feng Yichen, who heard about it for the first time, it was difficult to accept it for a while.

"Anyway, you should be careful, this is a trap, it may not be, after all, my ability is limited. The middle-aged shopkeeper reminded again.

Qiu Zimo and Feng Yichen nodded, and then left through the back door of the cloth shop, and the person who had arranged it by the middle-aged shopkeeper would find them early tomorrow morning and take them out of the city to the only way for Nakajo Jingna to return to his hometown.

"Will this shopkeeper be rebelled?" After leaving the cloth shop, Feng Yichen stopped and glanced back in the direction of the cloth shop.

"No, he's just been here for a long time, so it's inevitable that his heart will change somewhat. Qiu Zimo said.

"You just need to remember that his surname is Qiu, and it is impossible for a person surnamed Qiu to betray His Majesty and the Wei State. Qiu Zimo also looked at the direction of the cloth shop and said.
