In the north of Haozhou and east of the Banshan Strait, at noon, Beichen Yuqing led the fleet to finally arrive at the port of the Longya Empire. Naturally, the arrival of the Shang Dynasty's fleet, especially the ocean-going fleet, was warmly welcomed by the Longya Empire.
The people of the Longya Empire were very friendly when they saw the people of the Shang Dynasty, and their kind smiles contained a hint of the humility of a disciple.
The one who received the fleet was the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Tooth Empire Navy, Huangfu Lin.
According to the normal plan, Beichen Yuqing would leave after picking up the goods from the port. These goods were mainly resources from Haozhou and so on.
But when they arrived at the port and met, Huangfu Lin's face became serious, "Marshal Beichen, how about we find a place to talk?"
Beichen Yuqing saw Huangfu Lin's expression and felt a little confused, but she still nodded in agreement.
Coming to a room next door, Huangfu Lin used a small spell to block out the sound and said, "Marshal Beichen just returned from the ocean. I envy you. I should have arranged a grand welcome ceremony for you. But... but there is something I need to tell you. Just seven days ago, the virtuous king was assassinated. Although he is no longer in danger of death, he is in a coma and has been sent to Tianwai Tian to receive treatment from Master Taixuan. Now the power of the Shang Dynasty is in the hands of Queen Xia Qingqing."
Beichen Yuqing's face changed drastically, and her head felt buzzing, as if someone had hit her hard with a hammer. After a while, Beichen Yuqing asked tremblingly, "You... You can't make such a joke!"
Huangfu Lin could imagine Beichen Yuqing's feelings. He said slowly, "Marshal Beichen, I dare not joke about such things. You should be able to contact Shang Chao now. Just ask Li Yuanming, Xu Ren, or Yan Ze'an."
Beichen Yuqing immediately took out the Lingtong Baojian and connected directly to Li Yuanming. It was Li Yuanming who gave the order earlier. After the call was connected, Beichen Yuqing asked immediately: "Li Yuanming, was the virtuous king assassinated?"
Li Yuanming was silent for a while, then he sighed and said, "I wanted to wait until you came back to talk to me. I didn't expect that the Dragon Fang Empire would be so kind."
Countless thoughts flashed through Beichen Yuqing's mind in an instant, but all of them were rejected. He could only ask: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"Beichen, you have been out for such a long time, I don't want you to feel bad at this moment. Don't tell the soldiers about this matter yet. Let's talk about it after we return to the Shang Dynasty. Let the soldiers have a good rest these days. There may be a big battle next."
Beichen Yuqing opened his mouth, and finally could only say in a hoarse voice: "I understand."
After ending the call, Beichen Yuqing looked at Huangfu Lin and said slowly: "Thank you for telling me. But please keep this matter confidential and don't tell the other soldiers on the warship."
"Don't worry. For now, only the top leaders in the Dragon Fang Empire know about this matter, and it hasn't spread. Those who know about it won't talk nonsense."
"That's good. Let's load the goods quickly and set off immediately." Beichen Yuqing was really eager to go home at this time.
For the "old men" such as Beichen Yuqing, they personally assisted Li Xian in creating a brand new country. They put in a lot of effort and wisdom, and also pinned almost all their hopes and dreams on him. Li Xian was assassinated, which affected the "future" of Beichen Yuqing and others, which was absolutely unacceptable!
