This piece of small forest, clean up is clean, a few winding paths through the forest, husband and wife, at this time do not speak, along the trail about a few hundred meters of mountain road, below is a scene, according to the terrain, build a pavilion, plant flowers, a stone road leads directly to the main hall.

Ye Qing smiled and said to Wu Amaran: "We are far away, the above banquet is about to be prepared, let's go back, it is rare to gather, so we won't let everyone wait for a long time." ”

Wu Amaran pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to answer, when a voice came from below: "Report - Lord, a private letter from you from the imperial capital!"

A magician who ran up from the mountain road below handed over the submission, and on the cover was "Brother Nian's Initiation", and the payment was ...... Fu Chengshan.

Ye Qing opened it and raised his eyebrows in some surprise: "He is coming to visit in half a month?"

Although Wu Yuan joined the family late and was not familiar with the imperial examination time, she heard Jiang Zinan talk about Fu Chengshan, who was admitted to the Jinshi at the same time as her husband, and frowned for a while: "Is he a private visit, or is it a tolerance?"

"The letter didn't say that it was estimated that Cai Chao had heard some rumors and wanted to probe our bottom line. Ye Qing flicked the letter and smiled: "There is wine when you come to the private visit, and there is a strategy for the tolerance to come, it depends on the situation." ”

In the night sky behind the couple, a little black dot was rapidly enlarged in the northeast direction, and soon a fairy ship returned, and as soon as it landed, it flashed a golden cyan sword light, and the Taoist clone of the Tongtian Daoist shook his head slightly at the Taoist couple on the hillside, and penetrated into an immortal ship that was already full of people and goods and ready to go.

The immortal ship did not stop, and immediately flew up and disappeared into the depths of the Beibi Mountain Range, loaded with supplies and headed for Dongzhou.

"At this time, there is no need to go to the Stuning Valley to transfer in the carriage and lie dormant during the day, just dump and unload the goods in the Phantom Forest and return immediately...... The decision of the affairs in Dongzhou and the formation of the fleet undoubtedly means that Yingzhou and Dongzhou are closely integrated, which is a great threat to the Cai Dynasty......"

Wu Yuan wrinkled his nose and retracted his gaze to look at Ye Qing: "Husband, you have always made a fortune in a muffled voice, what happened?"

"You didn't hear it, the heavenly bell of the Dao Palace is ringing, and any immortal can hear it. Ye Qing gestured to her slightly at the sky, and didn't say anything more, Wu Amaran suddenly understood...... The husband took the opportunity to suppress Cai Chao again.

What Wei Yu was doing a few days ago, what Fu Jun is doing now, the essence is the same, in the face of the overall situation of Heavenly Court's fight against the outer regions, even if the emperor is angry?

The big war is coming, and the time to fight with all your strength has come again, and at this moment, the person who is still pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has become a real pig, so that the enemy can be pinched as a soft persimmon first.

And at this point, instead of patience, it's time to bite automatically.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing smiled and turned around.

On the first day of the first month of the 18th year of Dacai Pingjing, the East China Sea

The snow was heavy and the sky was full of goose feathers, and the fleet of 1,000 ships waved the Yellow Dragon flag, passing through the mouth of the Qianjing River and heading towards the vast ocean.

Because the snowflakes obscured the soldiers' vision, so that they could not see their own way forward, when they penetrated into a group of icebergs, everyone's hearts were clenched, the magician ran to the side of the ship to standby, and the real people who were well-educated and respectful even braved the snow to climb the mast one by one, monitor the movement of the icebergs, and ensure the safety of the fleet.

On the bridge, a handsome aristocratic young man looked at the charts, the candle flame reflected on his side face, his eyes lost in thought, and his face was shaky as the hull swayed with the flames of the waves.

The sound of "squeak" opening woke him up, and when he looked back and saw the woman wearing pure **** clothes and looking extremely dignified and beautiful, he frowned slightly and quickly converged: "Ning Juan has seen it on the top, can the route deviate?"

Ning Juan saw her husband's reaction just now, pretended not to see it, and only replied with her head bowed: "The direction is correct, and the most dangerous iceberg area has passed...... Let me ask one more question, the three-year period has not yet expired, and the railway along the northern mountain of Hanhou is still one-sixth of the way, why did the husband come here half a year early?"

"Come ahead of time to be one step ahead of Ye Qing. And I'm a little worried about the rumors that a war is imminent......"

King Qingjun paused as he spoke, glanced at Ning Juan and listened, and didn't say any more.

Seeing that he was suspicious and refused to speak, Ning Juan was silent for a while and got up: "Husband, rest well, don't be too tired, let the concubine say goodbye......"

"There you go. King Qingjun didn't look back, looking back at the chart.

Only when the hatch closed and there was silence in the room did he sigh, he was more worried about the long nights in his rear than Ye Qing's competitive threat - the escalation of the foreign war, the imperial court abandoned the development plan due to the need for defense, and even withdrew resources and troops, what would he use to open up the Eastern Wilderness?

You can't come here sooner......

Outside the cabin, Ning Juan stood at the door, letting the snowflakes fall on her body, soaking the coolness in her heart...... It's been cold for a long time, but it's colder every time.

As soon as she came to the East China Sea, she regained her pure **** clothes, and now all she thinks about is practice, in fact, she is willing to follow this man over, also out of cultivation.

"A year ago, I heard that the Shocking Rain and the Hated Yun sisters were here, and they clearly had a plan, but unfortunately the Black Water Ocean Development is the Dragon Clan's own land, and our Black Vein Terran monks are basically only in charge of the inland rivers and lakes...... "She felt a little regretful in her heart, and gathered her mind, and she applied for an official water government order to come here, which was for the Dongzhou inland river.

"The two dragon girls think too highly of themselves, but they don't want to think about how they can succeed under the support of the demons without the support of the land? Don't end up like their father back then...... Ning Juan thought to herself, and was determined in her heart: "You have to use this husband's power to master the land and water system, and then you can try to get involved in the surrounding waters, and it is the best policy to fight steadily...... If it succeeds, he will recruit his sister Hongxuan as well......"

Boom -

Thunder and fire soared into the sky in front of her, and the shadow of a ship appeared in her field of vision, and quickly detached, even in the heavy snow, she could see the blue dragon flag on a red background......

Ning Juan looked stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "That boat...... The banner of the Hanhou Mansion!"

Bang, the hatch violently pushed open behind her, King Qingjun ran out when he heard the sound, stared at that side, the shadow of the ship was gone, frowned and asked, "Are you sure you read it right?"

Ning Juan was silent.

King Qingjun knew that his tone was not very good, so he asked a few words in a soft voice, and then instructed the general who came over: "Catch up with that ship!"

The generals looked at each other, thinking that chasing the enemy on this snowy day was not a fatal thing, so they could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes!"

“...... Right full rudder...... Ah, it's hiding in the icebergs......"

"Catch up-" King Qingjun stared at it, it seemed that Ye Qing was looking at him with mockery on the boat, which made him angry and frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to think about the possibility of terror behind the sign of the Hanhou Mansion, he just hissed and shouted: "Catch it at any cost!"

Finally, at the cost of more than a dozen warships crashing into icebergs and being damaged, the fleet finally sealed the ships, and was about to force them to surrender, when a loud explosion was heard, and everyone was silent, and they replied for a long time: "The enemy ship has destroyed itself......"

King Qingjun's face was distorted, knowing that he had disposed of a gaffe, he turned around and returned to the cabin, and said coldly: "All real people go down to fish for people, they want to see people in life, they want to see corpses in death, and when they catch living people, they will ask about the situation in Dongzhou-"

The real person frowned, but under the majesty of the Middle-earth Dynasty, without saying a word, he jumped into the icy seawater, Ning Juan bit her lip, and also jumped into the sea...... Since she considers herself a monk, she refuses to take on the status of a princess in front of others, but treats everyone equally.

The huge fleet embodies the national strength of a dynasty, with hundreds of real people on it, and in a short time, more than 30 people who fell into the water were fished, half of them died after rescue failure, and half of them recovered half of their lives, and they were immediately interrogated...... Dead people can't help it, but for mortals, they have the means to make them speak.

The real person quickly returned the result to the Qingjun King and a cadre of civil and military who were waiting, and it was Ning Juan herself who took the lead in reporting, she glanced at her husband's somewhat imperceptible nervous face, and said calmly: "The self-destructing ship belonging to the East China Sea Youth League, the ship itself is leased to others, and the crew members are all natives of the East China Sea who know each other, but the captain and first mate who started the self-destruction are said to have been airborne, and no one knows their origins...... The interrogation of the remnants of the crew revealed that Dongzhou was anomalous, and that it was no longer scattered under the rule of the Xianmen, but condensed under the command of a nascent Han State......"

"Han Kingdom!"

King Qingjun was dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "This is impossible! Jiayang, you go down and review!"

Ning Juan retreated silently, ignoring the strange gaze of Wenwu, she became more and more aware of her situation, and there was only one way out through cultivation.

After a while, Jiayang came back and whispered: "Lord Wang, I have done polygraph confirmation, none of the sixteen people who fell into the water lied, although the appearance of the lord of the Han Kingdom is different, it cannot be ruled out that Ye Qing is disguised...... It has opened up and occupied more than 40% of the territory of Dongzhou. ”

The entire conference hall of the bridge fell into a terrible silence, and after a long time, King Qingjun said with red eyes: "Report to the imperial court!

"What about our fleet?" asked the general in a low voice, really unwilling to fight with an immortal.

"Keep moving forward...... King Qingjun glanced at everyone, and his face sank: "We have no way out, only forward!"

Everyone in the hall listened with bated breath, looked at each other, and were silent.
