Chapter 554: Brother Country
ο»Ώ
Just when Xu Li took people to Longcheng Country, Xu Dong ran to the Red Carbon Country by himself, and he felt that it was necessary to find a landing site for the teleportation array in the Red Carbon Country, because the light neutron first determined that the landing point of the teleportation array had two directions, fifty-seven minutes due south and west, and thirty-nine minutes due west and north, the former was the border between the northeast border of Longcheng Country and Wudi Country, and the latter was within the border of Red Carbon Country.
He traveled to the capital of the king of Chitan, and like other conquered places, the country of Chitan no longer exists, and the original palace of the king of Chitan has now become the governor's palace, and the imperial sword master has taken the position of governor to guard here.
After Xu Dong met with the Imperial Sword Master, he told the Imperial Sword Master about the discovery of the Ancient Teleportation Array on the Boundless Sea Desert Island, and explained his intention to come to the Red Carbon Country this time, "Master, I want to send your soldiers to search everywhere, maybe the landing site of this Ancient Teleportation Array will be in the Red Carbon Country." β
The Imperial Sword Master immediately ordered officials from all over the country to send people to search for it, but it took more than twenty days to rummage through the entire Red Carbon Country, and nothing suspected of being a teleportation array transmitter or receiver device was found.
At the same time, Xu Li arranged for nearly 1,000 people to survey the northeast border of Longcheng Country, although he didn't really dig three feet of soil in that place, and at least walked through all the corners no less than three times, but he didn't find the landing site of the teleportation array.
After receiving the messenger sent by Xu Li, Xu Dong was very depressed, and he couldn't find the landing site of the ancient teleportation array at this end, which meant that this clue was broken, if Ma Wu, Guangneutron and Shunji couldn't reconnoiter anything at sea and couldn't find the hidden base, then this matter would become an unsolved case.
He planned to leave the Red Tan Country immediately and then return to Luoguo'er Island as soon as possible, preparing to go to sea again with Xing Yu and Huang Fengyan, the two predecessors, to increase the intensity of maritime reconnaissance, and when he said goodbye to the Imperial Sword Master, the Imperial Sword Master said, "Xu Dong, after you said this ancient teleportation array, the teacher remembered an old incident in the Dragon City Kingdom, eight hundred years ago, there were three princes in the Dragon City Kingdom vying for the throne, and in that battle for the throne, an army mysteriously disappeared, and this matter may be related to this ancient teleportation array. β
Xu Dong's eyes showed a look of surprise, because he also had a speculation about Xing Yu to the Imperial Sword Master, "Master, it turns out that you also know this secret matter of the Dragon City Kingdom, then, do you think that the disappearance of that army is related to the Ancient Teleportation Array?"
The Imperial Sword Master said, "If the landing site of this ancient teleportation array is really in the Dragon City Country, it may be related to that strange incident eight hundred years ago, hundreds of thousands of troops will not evaporate from the world for no reason, perhaps they were transferred to the sea through the ancient teleportation array, occupying a certain island to survive temporarily, in order to be able to make a comeback one day, and after that, due to other changes, this army never returned to the Dragon City Country." β
Xu Dong said, "There is one more thing that has not yet been solved, that ancient teleportation array has been used in half a year, according to the time calculation, it should be the time when the army of the Luo Tuo Kingdom conquered all countries, if it is not from the Infinite Sea to the mainland to participate in the war, it is possible that there is an army from the mainland to withdraw to the Infinite Sea." β
The Imperial Sword Master pondered for a while, "According to the division's analysis, whether it is to teleport the army from the Infinite Sea to the mainland to participate in the war, or to withdraw the army to the Infinite Sea after the defeat, these two possibilities are extremely small, you should look for some evidence before speculating on other possibilities." β
"Master, what do you mean by that?"
The Imperial Sword Master said, "Because when the Luo Tuo ** team conquered the Dragon City Country, it was a surprise attack when the Dragon City Country was defenseless and empty, and hundreds of thousands of troops were involved in the Dragon City Country like a hurricane, and they were unstoppable all the way to the Dragon City King Capital, and they did not encounter the resistance of a large army at all, let alone the army retreating to the Infinite Sea, so ......"
Xu Dong thought along the Imperial Sword Master's train of thought, there was indeed no possibility of using the ancient teleportation array to transport the army, "That'...... You say to look for new evidence and speculate on other possibilities, where to find evidence?"
The Imperial Sword Master thought for a while and said, "Eight hundred years ago, in the battle between the three princes of the Dragon City Kingdom for the throne, an army mysteriously disappeared, although the specific details in it are not known to the world, but it must have been recorded in the history of the Dragon City Kingdom, you can rummage in the original Dragon City Kingdom's Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and maybe you can find a record of this secret matter." β
After being reminded by the Imperial Sword Master, Xu Dongru suddenly opened, "Okay, Master, I'll go to Longcheng Country for a trip." β
The palace of Longcheng Kingdom has been transformed into the Governor's Palace, and Chen Xian, the governor of Longcheng, greeted Xu Dong at the gate of the mansion, "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor is going to personally enter the Dragon King Pavilion to rummage for some information, the minister has already strengthened the vigilance of the Governor's Palace, and the Dragon King Pavilion has let a team of strong guards take care of it, so the emperor can go in and find it with confidence!"
Dragon King Pavilion, is a treasure pavilion of the Dragon City King Palace to collect scriptures, a total of thirteen floors, Xu Dong has entered the Dragon King Pavilion more than once, knowing that the collection of books inside is like a sea of smoke, to find out the information that records a certain thing from it, it is obviously not easy.
"Chen Aiqing, you have found some literate and hyphenated characters for me from among the soldiers, and help me to find it in the Dragon King Pavilion, which has more than 50,000 scriptures in it, and it is obviously not easy for me to rummage through them alone. β
Chen Kun said, "Your Majesty, the minister knows that the emperor's time is more precious than anything else, so he called the masters and bachelors in the governor's palace in advance, and a total of 28 people are waiting in the Dragon King Pavilion, and the minister is busy with official business for a while, so he can accompany the emperor into the Dragon King Pavilion." β
Xu Dong thought to himself, this Chen Xian is more careful than his brother Chen Kun, and he thinks about everything thoughtfully, he and Chen Xian came to the Dragon King Pavilion together, and sure enough, they saw twenty-eight masters and bachelors waiting below, and the group hugged Xu Dong into the attic, Xu Dong asked everyone to rummage from top to bottom, because secrets like this can only be recorded in important historical records, and the more important things are, the more they are shelved.
His idea was not wrong, twenty-eight masters, bachelors, plus Chen Xian and himself, thirty hands were busy rummaging through the pile of old papers, and it only took half a day to turn over all the pages of the thirteenth floor, and when he was about to go down to the twelfth floor, a master suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, Governor Chen, I have found what I am looking for!"
Xu Dong looked back happily, the master was carrying a heavy object like a grinding fan in his hand, and the scholar had no strength, and he was panting and stumbling by this heavy object, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take this thing.
If you don't look carefully, it's impossible to know that this is a book, it's more like a bag of wheat flour molded into a whole piece of bread, and a stream of adult mildew rushed straight into Xu Dong's mouth and nose, and the pages inside were obviously read by the master page by page, because the first half of the book was loose and the half of the book that was not turned over in the back was as hard as a stone.
"Your Majesty, look, this, thisβ"
Xu Dong followed the line of words on his master's finger and saw such content: The second prince Chungang and the third prince Chunshan drove an army of 800,000 to pursue the 300,000 troops of the eldest prince Chun'an to the northeast border, and wanted to encircle and annihilate them, but saw that the eldest prince Chun'an and his army disappeared.
Seeing the content of this line, Xu Dong's heart began to sink again, because this line of text could not provide him with anything useful except to confirm that the secret was true, the army of the eldest prince Chun'an disappeared on the northeast border, which was something that Xing Yu and Guang Zhongzi had already said, and he asked Xu Li to send someone to secretly investigate, but did not find the landing site of the teleportation array.
While Xu Dong was pondering, Chen Xian interrupted his thoughts, "Your Majesty, the minister remembered something. β
"What's the matter?"
Chen Xian said, "Since the minister was named the governor of Longcheng by the emperor, he often thinks of the emperor's explanation that the minister wants to let the people of Longcheng recuperate, and feels that since the emperor has entrusted the governance of Longcheng to the minister, the minister feels that the responsibility on his shoulders is so heavy that it is difficult to sleep and eat......
Xu Dong thought to himself, Chen Xian was famous for his carefulness and ability in his mind, what happened today? Su Su was like an old pedant, so he interrupted Chen Xian and said, "Chen Aiqing, please tell me directly if you think of something, don't do so much foreshadowing." β
Chen Xian said, "Your Majesty, the minister has looked through various versions of the "Longcheng National Chronicles", only to find that some of the historical changes recorded above, such as the territory of the Longcheng Kingdom was larger than it is now hundreds of years ago. β
"What?" Xu Dong was taken aback, "You mean to say that the Wudi Kingdom was within the territory of the Dragon City Kingdom eight hundred years ago, and the 'Northeast Border' of the Dragon City Country at that time was the current Wudi Kingdom?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Chen Xian said, "the minister did not find a record of this change in the official history, but found this information in a wild history, after joining forces to defeat the eldest prince Chun'an, who was supposed to take the throne, the second prince Chungang and the third prince Chunshan of Longcheng Kingdom had another power struggle, as a result, the second prince Chungang fought for the throne, and the third prince Chunshan took a corner of peace and established the Wudi Kingdom on the northeast border. β
"Ahh
Chen Xian said, "Yes, Your Majesty, after the third prince Chunshan established the Wudi Kingdom, he was always worried that his brothers would eliminate him, so he gathered some masters in the famous Zhen cultivation world at that time, and turned the Wudi Kingdom into a country that advocated cultivation, and wanted to use Dao power to counter Chungang's powerful force, and he did it, and for a long time, the Wudi Kingdom was not threatened by the force of the Longcheng State. β
"Oh!" Xu Dong was puzzled, "such an important history is not known?"
Chen Xian said, "Your Majesty, didn't the minister say it just now? It may be that the second prince Chungang felt that this historical fact was unfavorable to him, or that he did not dare to face this history, and asked the historian to remove this historical fact when revising the history, and the third prince Chunshan had already been incognito, and most people only called him a fan-bone real person or a fan-bone immortal, and no one knew that he was the third prince of Longcheng Kingdom. β
Xu Dong was even more surprised, "What? The third prince Chunshan is a fan bone immortal?"
Chen Xian said, "Your Majesty, Chunshan is a fan bone immortal is absolutely not wrong, if the minister didn't happen to see this wild history, he didn't know that there was such a thing, the minister knew this history and thought, it turns out that this Longcheng country and Wudi country are brother countries, and the kings of the two countries are real brothers, just like the brotherly relationship between me and Chen Kun." β
