Chapter 84 Massacre
"Brother, they seem to be their own people and then beat their own people."
Cai Wei said in a low voice.
Liu Xia nodded silently. These people are indeed the guards of the Nangong family. They are killing each other. As for the reason, Liu Xia is not clear.
At this moment, Liu Xia saw that the fire of the farthest ship was uncontrollable, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
More than seven or eight of the more than 20 ships sailing this time have been scrapped. In addition to the one under Liu Xia's feet, even if the remaining ships show no sign of sinking, they are already on fire.
"Brother, what are they doing?"
Cai Wei asked.
"Of course, it's killing people. What other reasons can there be?"
"Killing people?"
"Do you know that in ancient times, in order to be afraid that others would find his mausoleum, some emperors would kill all the craftsmen who knew the location of the mausoleum after burial. In this way, the location of his mausoleum will not be exposed.
"But, there is no mausoleum here?"
Cai Wei said with a blank face.
"This is a little fool. Look, those boats are so deep in water. Obviously, the boats are full of goods. What else do you think will be so heavy?"
Stay in school and laugh.
"Gold!"
Cai Wei suddenly realized: "What do you mean is that these ships are all the wealth of the Nangong family? Knowing that they were going to lose, they hid the wealth at the bottom of the sea. Why don't you open it when you need it in the future?
"Yes, these ships are loaded with the funds needed for the future rise of the Nangong family. It's really forward-looking. Let's go. Let's go down and hide. This ship should be fine. There is nothing in it. I believe it will reach the hiding place directly.
After Liu Xia whispered, the two returned the same way again.
The fight lasted for about two hours. A moment later, Liu Xia heard the noisy voice above. Obviously, these people on the mission had come back.
Then, the ship continued to sail eastward and drifted at sea until noon the next day before slowing down.
After another half an hour, Liu Xia heard the sound of the ship docking.
"Go out and have a look."
Immediately, Liu Xia sneaked out with Cai Wei.
After hiding in the warehouse and looking out from the window of the warehouse, Liu Xia couldn't help but be stunned.
This is a lonely overseas island. Judging from the speed and moment of the voyage, it is about thousands of kilometers away from the Dragon Soul Continent.
The size of the island is not small, and the whole island is covered by a dense jungle. However, in the jungle, you can see the shadow of some magnificent buildings.
"This island is the refuge of the Nangong family. It is really safe enough on the vast sea. No wonder they can be destroyed several times and revitalized from here several times.
Liu Xia said with a smile.
At this moment, the guards on the ship began to unload the goods.
"Record the location here and let's go. Be careful that they find out."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
Immediately, Liu Xia and Cai Wei took advantage of the night to slip into the sea, and then spread the Xuantian wings and disappeared at the end of the sky.
Returning to the Dragon Soul Continent, it was already late the next day.
In the city of Yunqing, there is silence.
Jiangzhou army began to build fortifications here. The streets were full of patrolling soldiers, and the people did not dare to go out and hid at home.
After Liu Xia returned to the state capital, he went straight to the study.
After a while, Zhang Zong entered the room and said, "Your Highness, the battle on the front line has arrived."
Liu Xia hurriedly tore it open, took a rough look, and couldn't help laughing and said, "The northern position of the Nangong Army was lost, and Yuanhui and Tai County were lost. Now there are less than 150,000 horses left in the Nangong family, gathered in Jiu'an, Maoping and other places, trying to use the second layer of defense to resist the southward army.
At this time, Huang Pujie was looking for a meeting.
After coming in, Huang Pujie saluted Liu Xia. Liu Xia smiled and said, "Mr. Huangpu, please get up."
"The court sailors have finished their rest and can leave at any time."
Huangpu Jie said with a smile.
"Very good, now it's time for us to help the army of the Southern Expedition. Inform all the generals to gather in the council hall after half an hour. I have an important order to announce.
Liu Xia said with a smile.
Huang Pujie hurriedly hugged his fist and said, "Yes."
He knew in his heart that the frontal battle with the Nangong family had begun.
————————————————————
A spring rain came as scheduled, and the whole dragon was shrouded in rain and fog, as elegant and handsome as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the palace, willow branches pulled out new buds. Looking from a distance, it was lush.
The rain flowed down the glazed golden tile of the imperial study and dripped on the green leaves of an orchid in front of the window, rattling non-stop.
Under the wind window, the emperor carried his hands on his back and looked far away.
The drizzling rain and this gray world have evoked a lot of old memories.
"Your Majesty, Duan Wei has arrived."
Chen Mo stood behind the emperor, calmed down and said.
"Xuan."
The emperor said lightly.
"Follow the decree."
Immediately, Chen Mo walked to the door and shouted loudly, "Mr. Duan will see you."
Immediately, there was a sound of propaganda, one after another.
After a moment, Duan Wei entered the imperial study, but did not kneel down.
"Go down."
The emperor waved his hand.
Chen Mo bowed his waist and hurriedly waved to the eunuchs around him. Immediately, the maids and eunuchs in the imperial study retreated one after another, and Chen Mo carefully retreated to the door, then closed the door and turned away.
At this moment, the silence in the imperial study can only be heard the sound of rain outside.
"Your Majesty, you must be in a good mood today."
Duan Wei broke the silence and said with a faint smile.
"Ha ha, Duan Gong really knows me very well. Yes, I just received the war report that the Nangong navy was destroyed in Longya Port. I believe that now Nangong Tianwen must be as dead ashes.
The emperor smiled with relief.
"The prince does have the ability to turn decay into magic. This time, Weichen has been prepared in Yong'an Port to resist the Nangong family sailors. As a result, I'm busy."
Duan Wei smiled helplessly.
"This time, I really didn't expect it. This battle has been won, and the destruction of the Nangong family has become a fore.
The emperor said this and put away his smiling face.
"It has been thirty-seven years, and in four months, it will be the same day. Does Your Majesty have a way to deal with it?
Duan Wei asked.
"The water is flooded, and the soldiers will block it. Thirty-seven years ago, my father Wang resolutely fought to the death with the demon clan and kept the peace of my Tianji Dynasty for more than 30 years. This time it's my turn, I will naturally not be afraid.
The emperor said indifferently.
"The activities of the demon clan have been rampant in recent years. It seems that they have been planning for this day for a long time. I'm afraid this fierce battle is more dangerous than the previous one.
Duan Wei said worriedly.
"Last time they were caught off guard, and so did we. This time, both sides are fully prepared, and I know in my heart. Fortunately, now the big troubles can be removed immediately. It makes me feel much more at ease."
The emperor sneered.
"The Nangong family is a half-demon descendant, and it is also expected that they rebel at this moment. The destruction of the Nangong family this time gave us a lot of opportunities to breathe.
"Over the years, I have been forgiven by the demon clan. Fortunately, Haoxuan appeared, which made me take a breath. However, the seal of the magic island is broken, and there will be a disturbance every thirty-eight years, and there will be endless trouble in the future. I want to find a way once and for all this time, otherwise, I'm afraid the dynasty is in danger.
The emperor said.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Liu Xia's master is an ancient master. Maybe he has a way to repair this seal.
"Oh? Why have I never heard Haoxuan talk about it?"
The emperor was stunned.
"I didn't know at first, but it was only later that I found out the existence of this master. After a period of my secret observation, this person is a decent person. I believe that what happened during this period of time has also attracted enough attention from him. I think it's time to tell Haoxuan the truth. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."
Duan Wei said with a smile.
"Well, this is a way to go. However, my experience tells me that I can't put all my hope on surprise. We still need to plan early."
The emperor said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have secretly contacted the major sects. Tuoba Lingyun has also taken the generals of the Metropolitan Inspection to the periphery of Crazy Magic Island. On the bimonthly day, as long as the demon clan dares to move, we will fight with blood. It's just that at the present, is your majesty mediating the contradiction between Haoxuan and Cihang Yinzong? In the end, Cihang Yinzong is superior in strength and is an important helper on Biyue Day. If two tigers compete with each other, there must be one injury. It's really not worth the loss."
Duan Wei said.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "Although Haoxuan did not grow up under my knees, he was as stubborn as me. I advised not to persuade you about this matter, but it turned out to be the same. This time, Cihang Yinzong did move Haoxuan's reverse scales, and it also made me feel that they were too presumptuous. It's time to clean them up."
"It's just that I'm worried that Cihang Yinzong is not so easy to deal with."
"Others think that they are gods, superior and invincible. In my eyes, they are just mortals. There is no need to mention this matter.
The emperor sneered.
Duan Wei nodded silently. He knew in his heart that the conflict between Liu Xia and Cihang Yinzong could no longer be avoided.
"Duan Gong, at the time being, I have one thing for you."
"Oh? Your Majesty opened his mouth in person, and I will naturally do my best.
Duan Wei was stunned and said with his fists.
"I want you to take advantage of this time to go to the Tianxuan Dynasty."
The emperor said.
"Your Majesty means that you want me to make peace?"
Duan Wei asked.
"Yes, although in my heart, I am not afraid of the Tianxuan Dynasty. However, once the war starts, I'm afraid the people in the northwest will suffer again. Besides, the bimonthly day is approaching, and I don't want to be distracted. If there is a truce, I still want to take a step.
The emperor said.
"I know that I'm worried about Qing Mingzi's narrow-minded, short-sighted, and eager for quick success. This time I came to Tianlin Mountain, I suffered a big loss and almost died. I think it's a little difficult."
Duan Wei said with a wry smile.
"I know. You have to have a try. I just don't want to leave a devastated family business for Haoxuan. After all, he is still young and has insufficient experience. I'm very worried."
The emperor said.
"Your Majesty is deeply affectionate. I know that I will do my best."
Duan Wei nodded.
"Then I'm relieved."
The emperor smiled with relief.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of War is asking for a meeting."
At this moment, Chen Mo shouted outside.
"Your Majesty, I don't bother you much. Say goodbye."
After saying that, Duan Wei walked out of the gate.
The emperor looked at Duan Wei's back and shouted with a sigh of relief, "Let him in."
