Although Ye Chen didn't understand, who made this rule that the war between the two countries must be resolved in the forbidden area, but since the forbidden area has existed for tens of thousands of years, it makes sense. . wWw,QuanBeN-XiaoShuo,CoM
Nie Qingyun, who was in the Royal Courtyard, and the old man who was transformed into a fire bird that covered the sky, rushed over immediately after receiving Ye Chen's summons.
After some preparations, the group set off together.
On the bank of the Black River, there is a royal dock. A huge ship is docked by the river. Everyone who is preparing to go to the forbidden land gathers here and begins to board the ship.
On this trip to the forbidden land, in addition to Ye Chen, Emperor Mingwu, Xiaoyi, etc., the twelve powerful Earth Masters under Emperor Mingwu were also among them. Almost all the masters of the entire Xiwu Empire were included. Empty. Under the command of Ye Chen's thoughts, the Golden Sun Eagle has been hovering in the sky, following Ye Chen and others.
Emperor Mingwu specially disguised himself so that others could not recognize him. Otherwise, if the courtiers knew that Emperor Mingwu had gone to the forbidden area and took away all the land masters, the entire Xiwu Empire would immediately fall into civil strife. middle.
Before leaving, Emperor Mingwu entrusted all matters to Medicine Master Xuanyi. I think that with the status of Medicine Master Xuanyi, he can still stabilize people's hearts.
If this battle can be victorious, the Seibu Empire can still survive. If this battle is lost, the empire that has lasted for thousands of years will soon be wiped out.
The building boat slowly left the pier and headed down the river towards the North Sea.
Nanman Kingdom, a small town in the border county.
There is a big river here. If you follow this river and pass through the territory of two small countries, you can reach the North Sea. Those two small countries are also surrendered to the Southern Barbarians.
Tuoba Hongye, the leader of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, suddenly appeared in the city, accompanied by a large number of generals and courtiers from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. There are hundreds of people.
Tuoba Hongye, dressed in a gorgeous robe, looked particularly eye-catching surrounded by everyone. But the most noticeable thing is the thin elder beside Tuoba Hongye. This old man is wearing a shabby gray robe. He is too thin, his cheeks are almost sunken, and his eyes are extremely protruding. This old man is bald, and his head is There are only a few scattered hairs on his body, and a bamboo pole is the most appropriate way to describe this old man. Looking at his hands, he saw that his hands were as bony as a pair of iron hooks. His arms were extremely long, and his body was a little stooped. When his arms dropped, they almost reached his knees.
Such an appearance really made people laugh, but none of the nearby generals and courtiers dared to laugh. Instead, they all looked very respectful.
Even Tuoba Hongye. I also have great respect for this old man.
"Uncle, I can only let you go once this time. I got the latest news that several masters suddenly appeared in the Xiwu Empire. Both Dongmen Yingyang and Siko Fengyan died in the battle, and we can no longer send too many manpower. , and even if we send experts from Tianzun Peak to go there, I’m worried that we won’t be able to cope with it.” Tuoba Hongye said respectfully in front of the old man.
This old man is actually Tuoba Hongye's uncle
Whether they are from the Seibu Empire or the Nanman Kingdom. I'm afraid few people know the existence of such an old man.
"It is my duty in Tuobayan to contribute to our Southern Barbarian Kingdom. I have been in the Central Empire for the past few decades. I did not expect that the Southern Barbarian Kingdom has grown so much under the leadership of my nephew. If it takes a few years, , it is not difficult for the Tuoba family to enter the Central Empire in one fell swoop. I should also contribute to the Tuoba family. The Mingwu boy from the Seibu Empire actually wants to compete with our Tuoba family. He really overestimates his capabilities." Tuoba. Yan's voice was hoarse with a hint of shrillness, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
All the courtiers and generals bowed respectfully, and they all secretly speculated on the extent of this old man's strength.
"When my uncle returns to the Central Empire, my nephew will definitely prepare a generous gift to reward my uncle." Tuoba Hongye said humbly.
Tuo Bayan raised his eyebrows, but remained calm. Although he had reached the Xuanzun Junior Level, Xuanzun Junior Level was nothing in the Central Empire. He was an outer sect elder in a sect, but every time Yue's monthly salary is not much. Although Nanman Country is just a small country, Tuoba Hongye is the leader of the country after all, so what he brings out should not be too bad.
"My dear nephew, you're welcome. Just do your best for your uncle." Tuo Bayan said with a smile, showing his yellow teeth.
"When my uncle returns home in triumph, my nephew will surely take care of him!" Tuoba Hongye laughed loudly.
Surrounded by a crowd of courtiers, Tuobayan stepped onto the warship by the river, accompanied by nineteen masters, including two Heavenly Masters and seventeen Earthly Masters.
In terms of national strength, the Nanman Kingdom surpasses the Seibu Empire by an unknown amount.
Watching the warship slowly sailing away from the dock, Tuoba Hongye stood on the shore, his majestic body as straight as a gun, the wind howled, and his royal robe hunted, watching the warship disappear far away at the end of the river.
"In three years at most, we will be able to capture the Seibu Empire, and all the Eastern Plains countries will be conquered! In another ten years, we will be able to enter the Central Empire!" Takuba Hongye said calmly, but his eyes were particularly bright. In order to achieve this, He has spent countless efforts on this goal.
Standing next to Tuoba Hongye was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, also wearing royal robes. He was Tuoba Yue, the crown prince of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
"Father, all the countries in the Eastern Plains have been conquered by us. Why do we still want to enter the Central Empire? There are so many experts in the Central Empire. If we go there, we will probably be inferior to others. We must be careful in our management here. Wouldn't it be great to be a supreme emperor?" Tuoba Yue looked at Tuoba Hongye and asked in confusion.
"Yue'er, why do you think our Nanman Kingdom won, and why did the Xiwu Empire lose?" Tuoba Hongye smiled, looked at Tuoba Yue and asked.
"The talent of the Xiwu Empire has withered over the past hundreds of years, but our Southern Barbarian country is at its peak, annexing various countries one after another, and its national power is strong." Tuoba Yue pondered for a moment and said, "One is strong and the other is weak, and the Xiwu Empire will undoubtedly lose."
Tuoba Hongye shook his head and said, "That's wrong. How can a huge empire that has stood for thousands of years fall down so easily?"
"Then why?" Tuo Ba became more puzzled.
"You only saw the surface, but didn't see the deeper reasons. Since you are the prince, you should know some things." Tuoba Hongye pondered for a moment and said with emotion, "Actually, the Nanman Kingdom is not our Tuoba family. Take control.”
Hearing Tuoba Hongye's words, Tuoba Yue was shocked and lost his voice: "This is so possible. The Tuoba family is the royal family of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, and his father is the leader of the country. Who dares to take power and control the Southern Barbarian Kingdom?"
Tuoba Hongye touched Tuoba Yue's head, looked far into the distance, and said: "The person who controls the Tuoba family is a behemoth far away in the Central Empire, which is the sect of your uncle. More than three hundred Years ago, the sect that the Seibu Empire relied on gradually declined and became a second-rate sect. And our barbarian country happened to take refuge in the sect that your uncle belonged to, gained the support of that sect, and began to annex other countries. Three hundred years later, Seibu The empire declined, but the Southern Barbarian Kingdom gradually became stronger and stronger. Otherwise, why would there be so many sects in the Central Empire, and any one of them could easily destroy us, but they didn’t come over to seize our land? Because we are just their pawns That’s all, as long as that behemoth doesn’t fall, we, the Southern Barbarians, can rest easy, but once they fall, we will also perish at any time.”
Tuoba was more and more shocked. He gradually understood why his father insisted on entering the Central Empire.
"Father often teaches his children that everything depends on themselves, and everything depends on themselves!" Tuoba Yue clenched his fist and said solemnly.
"Yes, that's the truth." Tuoba Hongye narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to treat me, Tuoba Hongye, as a chess piece, but he was too underestimated. "The reason why those big sects can stand strong However, it has been managed by generations or even dozens of generations. Sooner or later, the Tuoba family will be under your control, and when the time comes, you will lead the Tuoba family to become strong."
"My child will live up to his father's instructions. Father, if we capture the Seibu Empire and make sufficient preparations to enter the Central Empire. There are many sects in the Central Empire, how can we gain a foothold in the Central Empire?" Tuoba Yue asked. , among the Dongyuan countries, the Tuoba family is indeed very strong, but when they go to the Central Empire, they are like ants that can be trampled to death by any sect.
"I've told you this, but I'm afraid you don't understand. The Central Empire has the rules of the Central Empire. In the human world, there is a mysterious organization called the Law Enforcement Hall. After entering the Central Empire, you will come into contact with it. Now I want to This is a little too early." Tuoba Hongye hesitated and did not continue.
"Law Enforcement Hall? What kind of organization is that? What kind of rules are the Central Empire's rules?" Tuoba Yue looked up at Tuoba Hongye in confusion, but Tuoba Hongye remained silent.
The river ahead surges and rolls away.
The Seibu Empire's building boat sailed down the river. One day later, it finally entered a vast and boundless sea area. Looking into the distance, the sea and the sky connected as far as the eye could see.
The sea water is a pure blue, and the sea breeze makes people feel relaxed and happy.
As soon as it entered the sea, the little squid seemed particularly excited and danced.
"Xiao Squid, do you want to play in the sea?" Xiao Yi asked after seeing Xiao Squid's appearance.
The little squid smiled and nodded, its eight tentacles dancing in waves.
"Xiao Squid, will you never come back?" Xiao Yi asked worriedly, with deep reluctance in his eyes.
The little squid thought for a while and shook his head. He followed Ye Chen and ate soul-gathering pills and soul-condensing pills every day. If he went into the sea, he would have to hunt by himself.
"Brother Ye Chen, ask them to drive the boat slower and let Xiao Squid go into the sea to play." Xiaoyi suddenly smiled when he saw Xiao Squid shaking his head, and looked at Ye Chen and said.
