Qianye's huge fleet sailed out of the neutral land, adjusted its direction in the void, and flew towards the lower layer of the world far away from the sun.
The Hall of Valor is in the center, led by the Empire's cutting-edge battle patrols, the frigates are scattered around to guard, and the high-speed transport ship is closely following the Hall of Valor. Looking from a distance, the power sails on the back of the Hall of Valor are raised, and the sails fluctuate slightly, just like real giant beasts in the void, swimming slowly.
If this fleet is compared to a school of fish, then the Hall of Valor is a giant whale, and the Battle Cruiser is a small shark. As for the others, no matter how big or small, they can all be classified as miscellaneous fish. In fact, the Hall of Valor can accommodate a troop of only 2,000 people, and even 20,000 people can easily accommodate it. It's just that this team has just been formed, and there are many people in it who Qianye is not familiar with, so they don't want them to know too much internal information about the Hall of Valor.
The fleet traveled in the void for several days, and the outline of a continent appeared faintly in front of it.
Qianye stood in the command room, facing a huge map of Yonglu hanging on the wall, which was densely covered with marks. Look at the notes in the corner of the map. This map is the latest version that was just completed in December last year. In addition, there is an eye-catching skull warning sign on the map, which is the sign of top-secret information of the Imperial Army, and it will be cut off by anyone who holds it privately.
Naturally, the map is still the best for military use, and its accuracy and integrity are by no means comparable to those circulated on the black market. This Yonglu map was obtained by Song Zining from the Imperial Army through his connections, and it was shipped to Neutral along with the batch of military supplies. place. With Song Zining's current position and means, it is not difficult to obtain such top-secret information.
Qianye looked carefully on the map bit by bit, finally found the location of Zheng Guo, and then centered on Zheng Guo, searched around circle by circle.
If you look down from the outer space, Yonglu is like a huge maple leaf, the upper part is divided into three pieces, and the bottom is a thin and short petiole. Around the Yonglu, there are countless small floating islands, all of which are left over from the formation of the Yonglu. The vast majority of floating islands are uninhabited islands, and only a few that are close to the main landmass and included in the protective layer of the Yonglu can be inhabited.
Zheng Guo is located at the tip of a maple leaf. In addition to a piece of territory on the main land, there are hundreds of small islands outside the land, more than a dozen of which are inhabited floating islands. Zheng Guo's information should be more detailed. It seems that Song Zining has also put in a lot of effort. However, the information covered by the map itself is limited, and further understanding is needed.
Just from the position, Zheng Guo is a good step. Its size is equivalent to three provinces of the empire, and all the outer islands combined are also the size of a province.
In terms of area, it is not small. The Zhao Clan is currently only in two provinces, and is working hard to manage the third province. Even though there are still differences between the lower continent and the middle continent, the ancestors of Zheng Guo can see their bravery in being able to lay down such a large foundation.
As far as the entire Yonglu is concerned, Zheng Guo is considered a medium power, neither big nor small. It is located in a corner, and it is difficult to expand to the hinterland, but there are also few forces bordering on it, so it is relatively safe to avoid the situation where all neighbors are enemies.
Various ethnic groups live in Yonglu, and the biggest force is the country called Tunge Empire, which is located in the middle of the mainland. The country is composed of large and small tribes. In addition to the emperor, the Council of Elders also holds considerable power.
Qianye has become somewhat interested in the Tunger Empire. Based on his experience, the several major tribes that make up the empire should all be werewolf tribes. took a dominant position.
Qianye stroked his chin, and said to himself: "A continent ruled by werewolves? Interesting!"
For thousands of years, werewolves have become less and less among the dark races. The Qin Empire has done in-depth research on this and reached a conclusion. The werewolf's primitive fighting methods and innate abilities do not give them an advantage when facing demons or vampires. At the same time, their stubborn nature is very slow in accepting new things. After losing the holy mountain, that is to say, after losing an absolute authority, this weakness is magnified.
To this day, the Ancestral Faction, who wants to return to the oldest tradition, still has great influence among werewolves, and even the top of the peaks can't do anything about it.
Werewolves are accustomed to the tribal system, even if they form a country, it is actually a group of tribes, basically a mess. As far as national mobilization is concerned, werewolves and vampire demons are not at the same level at all.
The backwardness of the tribal system is very clear to those who have studied some orthodox history courses in Daqin. The twelve ancient clans of the blood clan have also undergone many changes in recent years, but the werewolf is still sticking to the oldest one.
In this case, it is very interesting that werewolves can occupy the dominance of Yonglu.
Qianye began to think about what resources or environments are particularly useful to werewolves, but useless to other races. Perhaps there is something particularly important to werewolves on the land of Yong, and this can explain why they have taken root in the land of Yong.
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door of the command room, and an attendant walked in and said, "Lord Qianye, the liaison officer sent earlier has returned and is waiting for you outside. When do you think you will be free?"
"Already back? Very good, take him to the meeting room, I'll be there right away." After Qianye gave the order, he glanced at the map before walking towards the meeting room.
There were several people sitting in the meeting room, one of them was a gray-haired young man who was visibly embarrassed and distracted. Seeing Qianye coming in, he still sat there blankly, until the person next to him poked him hard, then he reacted, got up quickly and saluted, and said: "Junior Nan Ruohuai, I have seen Senior Qianye!"
Qianye was a little dumbfounded, since it was the first time he was called senior since he grew up. He touched his cheek, the tentacles were like jade, warm and smooth, without a bit of beard, why was he looked so old
The person next to him poked Nan Ruohuai hard again, whispered a few words in his ear, he came to his senses with a bang, his face was flushed red, he saluted to the ground, and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Qianye, I was really anxious just now , unscrupulous words, I hope Master Qianye will not blame me, I... I really... "
As Nan Ruohuai talked, she was so anxious that tears were about to fall, she threw herself on the ground, and was about to kneel down.
Qianye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as soon as the original force moved, he lifted Nan Ruohuai up, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, if you have something to say, just say it."
Only then did Nan Ruohuai regain his composure, returned to his original position and sat down, bowed his head in silence, clutching the skirt of his clothes tightly with both hands. He also realized now that his performance just now was really bad, but he was at a loss as to how to make up for one or two.
Qianye couldn't help but shook his head inwardly. The young nobles he met in Daqin, even the Song Clan Song Ziqi and his like, were all graceful when they raised their poses. He had never seen Nan Ruohuai like this.
He softened his voice and said: "Now let's talk about it, who are you, and why did you come to see me?"
"My... my father is King Zheng. According to my age, I am the thirty-first, and I have nine younger brothers. However, I am a concubine..." Nan Ruohuai said, his voice lowered.
Qianye looked at the chief intelligence officer who accompanied Nan Ruohuai, his eyes were full of approval.
This Nan Ruohuai's talent is not bad, and his cultivation base is not low, but his character is weak, and he obviously has little knowledge and experience. The most important thing is to be a concubine. Zheng Guochaotang system is basically copied from Daqin, and the succession to the throne is the most important thing.
In the succession system of the Great Qin Dynasty, the so-called concubines of the imperial family refer to children born to women below the concubine rank. Unless their mothers are made concubines in the future, they are in principle not eligible to inherit the great line.
In fact, the status of the harem is no different from that of the previous dynasty, it is nothing more than family strength or personal strength, if there is neither, how can it convince people? Emperor Hao caused countless criticisms before and after his succession to the throne, and a large part of the reason was because of this. After ascending the throne, Emperor Hao also hibernated for many years, until recently he completely closed down all the government affairs.
The smaller the country, the more important the system is. This Nan Ruohuai is so cowardly, presumably he has been bullied terribly for many years.
His mother's family has no influence, and he has no opinions, but after all, he is of the blood of King Zheng, and his talent is not bad. It is not a problem to become a general, and there is no need to worry about short life. For Qianye, this Nan Ruohuaishi is the best candidate, and it is really hard for the intelligence department to find a target with such conditions in such a short period of time.
Qianye chatted with Nan Ruohuai for a few more words, asked him about the situation of his mother family, and asked him to step back first, and then looked at the intelligence officer.
The intelligence officer was in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance, a pair of small narrow eyes, and thin lips. He belonged to the kind of person who would be ignored in the crowd.
Qianye looked at him, his pupils turned blue, and the figure of the intelligence officer was clearly reflected in his pupils. The intelligence officer's face changed drastically in an instant, his whole body tensed up, and then slowly relaxed.
Qianye nodded, the blueness in his eyes faded away, and he said, "Your cultivation is not bad, and your future is also very good. What's your name?"
"The villain Song Lun, whose parents died when he was young, used to work for the Seventh Young Master, and was later given the surname Song by the Seventh Young Master. Some time ago, he followed Master Zining to the neutral place and began to work for the dark fire."
Qianye nodded, being able to get the surname given by Song Zining showed that Song Lun was a true confidant. And this guy is really talented.
"Nan Ruohuai did a good job in this matter, and it's hard for you to find this person in such a short time. How did he agree to come to see me?"
Song Lun said: "It's easy. A young master like this who has never experienced wind and rain can do it with a little trick."
Song Lun described the process in detail. In fact, he brought someone with him, and when Nan Ruohuai went hunting to relax, he directly took him down. Nan Ruohuai was indeed not taken seriously at all. There was only one entourage by his side for hunting, and he was raised since he was a child. This time, King Zheng was seriously ill, and the turmoil of the princes vying for the throne did not affect him at all. There was no prince to persecute him, no minister to take refuge in him, not even a little temptation. Nan Ruohuai was completely ignored.
After Song Lun threatened for a while, Nan Ruohuai readily agreed, and it was useless for him to consider the consequences of bringing troops into Zheng. As for coming to see Qianye, Nan Ruohuai didn't have the slightest objection, and said mockingly: "Even if I go hunting and never return, no one will remember or pursue it. What's the point of going out for a few days?"
Qianye couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "This little guy thinks quite clearly."
Song Lun said: "It's up to him not to understand. If he doesn't understand, he can change people. King Zheng can't do anything else. There are still a lot of children. There are always people who can. Even if the prince can't do it, there are many princesses. Take a step back, and the sons-in-law can do it too. "
"That's true." Qianye nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "Then you follow Nan Ruohuai first, and teach him how to do things. If he really becomes King Zheng, he will not be able to bring down a good Zheng State gone."
Song Lun was a little surprised and asked, "You don't intend to take the land of Zheng State?"
Qianye said: "Take a part, enough is enough. Yong Lu is so big, why bother to be cramped in this corner?"
