There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news of Lingnan finally reached Dongshuang City, the eastern capital.
The whole Dongdu was shaken up and down, and no one would have thought that even a famous empire like Xu Jiantao would be attached to others, and even from the mouth of the speaker, he could faintly feel that Xu Jiantao had surrendered.
There was a lot of discussion among the officials at the Lingxi Hall, and even the people were already there before the time of the dynasty began. There is no doubt that the Lingnan matter will become the first major event of the dynasty today.
Lin Muyu, who had hurried back to Dongshuang City the day before, had already put on Wang Jue's armor, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Yan. In the days when Feng Jixing was absent, it was the two of them who had the final say.
"Brother, is the news true?" Qin Yan and Lin Muyu stood side by side in front of the throne, asking with some worry.
"Well, it probably won't be fake."
Lin Muyu nodded and turned his eyes to the officials, and found that Su Yu, Zeng Yifan, Zeng Fang and others looked anxious. Everyone knows that Lingnan’s military strength is already one of the main forces of the empire, Xiang Yu’s seven. Ten thousand horses plus Xu Jiantao's fifty thousand, a total of 120,000 elites, is the Great Qin Empire's reliance on resisting the Blackstone Empire. If all these 120,000 horses surrender to others, then Lingnan has already changed its flag.
"The discussion of government affairs begins!" the eunuch sang loudly.
Outside the hall, a group of imperial forest guards guarded all entrances and exits. Their sword armors were bright and gleamed in the morning light. The Great Qin Empire lasted for thousands of years. How long will this brilliance shine? No one knows, almost People all over the world felt that the great Qin Empire was exhausted, but Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Tang Xiaoxi and others were still working hard. They firmly believed that miracles would happen, and they had always been like this.
"Bring the messenger." Lin Muyu waved her hand and said lightly.
"Yes!"
Wei Qiu clasped his fists, and then his eyes signaled that two gentry soldiers outside brought in a man wearing an imperial military uniform. It was he who had escaped from Lingnan and released the news.
"What's your name?" Lin Muyu asked nonchalantly.
"The villain's name is Fan Ni." He shuddered all over.
"Which movie are you from?"
"The villain originally belonged to the third battalion of the Cangnan Provincial Governor's Mansion. He followed Master Hou Xu Jiantao in Cangnan to fight in Lingnan, and was then incorporated into the 11th combat battalion. I was punished, so I stole a horse. I crossed the Qinling Mountains and came to Dongshuang City to look for my Royal Highness."
Lin Muyu looked at him faintly, with a pair of clear eyes as if she wanted to see Fan Ni through, and said: "For now, let's not hold you accountable for violating the military law. Let's talk about what happened in Lingnan?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Fan Ni knelt on the ground again, raised his head, and said: "The Blackstone Empire drove straight into the Lingnan territory and won many battles. Later, Junhou defeated its sharpness. Later, Junhou gathered his forces at Zhanlongguan, that is, at that time, We learned that the Celestial Continent’s war angel army was divided into two. They seem to have split. Dora is one line, Xiyin is one line. Xiyin led six war angels and a group of weird weapons to infiltrate Lingnan. Later, I don’t know why Duke Yu surrendered to Xiyin, and the villain heard people say that in the Xiyin legion he saw the marshal of Yihe Kingdom Ding Xi. Later, the king offered Zhanlongguan to the people of Xiyin. Move in."
"Have you seen Xiyin?"
"No." Fan Ni shook his head and said: "But his subordinates saw Xiyin's men and horses change our guards. Although Zhanlongguan still had the imperial purple flower banner floating, it also waved Xiyin's war angels. Team battle flag."
"What did Xu Jiantao do!" Lin Muyu said slightly angrily.
Among the crowd, a middle-aged general clasped his fists and said: "His Royal Highness, Xu Jiantao's subordinate has not reported any news to Dongdu for nearly ten days, and the war eagle scouts we sent have not returned. There is no news. The general thinks Xu Jiantao has done this. Like treason, the angels of war are people from the Celestial Continent. If you send the Throat Zhanlong Pass of Lingnan Province to the people from the Celestial Continent, this is treason!"
Another old minister also nodded: "His Royal Highness, your subordinates seconded."
Su Yu smiled mildly: "Jin Yuhou and General Wang Qiu, please rest assured, this matter has not yet reached the point where it is firmly established. Anyway, the battle of the empire is still floating at Zhanlong Pass and Shengtian Pass. Qi, I think Xu Jiantao and Xiang Yu must be unspeakable."
Lin Muyu gritted her teeth and asked with a cold face, "Fan Gong, what do you think?"
Zeng Yifan kept a low profile, just smiled: "Before Xu Jiantao and Xiang Yu saw us, it was obviously impossible to make a conclusion based on the words of a pawn. The conviction, the old official suggested, send a close friend of his Royal Highness to Lingnan to find out."
"That's a good idea."
Lin Muyu looked sternly and asked, "Who wants to go?"
Among the generals, Wei Qiu was the first to stand up: "I'll go!"
"No."
Lin Muyu shook his head: "You are more familiar with the defense and defense enemies of Luohekou Fortress and Dongshuang City than I am. We need you, Duke Wei, you can't go, who else wants to go?"
Situ Sen went out: "The subordinates are willing to go."
"Neither can you."
"Why?" Situ Sen was taken aback: "His Royal Highness, you don't trust the end general?"
"No, General Mori, your temper is too hot. A slight mistake in this matter may cause unnecessary trouble. After all, no one of us knows what Xiyin's attitude is for the time being, so... Fengxi, don't you Hide, it's up to you to go to Dragon Slashing Pass on my behalf."
Feng Xi frowned: "Yes, Your Highness."
"Why, not happy?"
"Yes!" Feng Xi raised his head and said: "His Royal Highness also knows that Bei Minghuan is mobilizing troops to attack Lingdong Province. The next battle will determine the fate of Dongdu, and his subordinates want to stay here. Build some meritorious work."
"Want to make a contribution?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "This is easy to handle. As long as you go to Zhanlongguan smoothly and come back alive, I will immediately promote you to the first level of military rank, and let you be under the control of an army of 20,000 people, how about it?"
"real?"
"Of course."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Feng Xi landed on one knee.
"Wait a minute." Su Yu looked at the crowd with bright eyes and smiled: "General Fengxi is also a soldier after all. He is tough and not gentle. Why... send another woman to go with him?"
"Woman?" Qin Yan was startled.
At this time, the first person in the female history sequence on the side stood up. She was a graceful woman. It was Shangguan Jingyue, the first female official next to Qin Yin at the time. Only a few years later, Shangguan Jingyue became more mature. Now, that kind of stable and virtuous charm is at a glance, she respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, let me go with Master Fengxi. At the beginning, Jingyue also went to Bailing City on behalf of the Queen. The people I met in Longguan, I think... Jingyue is more suitable than anyone else."
"Shangguan Jingyue, don't you worry that Xu Jiantao really rebelled?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
Shangguan Jingyue also laughed: "His Royal Highness Yu's eyes are like a torch. After so many years, many empire generals have betrayed and fled, but there has never been a person under His Highness Yu. So Shangguan Jingyue is sure that Master Xu Jiantao is not that kind of person. , He would not dare to fight against the 200,000 army of the Blackstone Empire ruled by Bailiqin with an outnumbered enemy."
"Okay, really courageous!"
Lin Muyu smiled with satisfaction: "But the number of people you can bring can't be too many. After all, Dongdu also needs manpower, so I will give you two hundred and one hundred cavalry guards. When you arrive at Zhanlongguan, you need to find out the truth of the matter. Also, bring an empire. The Gold Star Medal, if Xu Jiantao did not treason, he would give him a Gold Star Medal as a reward, which he deserves."
"Yes!"
In the afternoon, the envoy team left Dongshuang City, and the development of the situation became more and more bizarre, so that Lin Muyu was completely unable to guess, but he could not go to Lingnan himself. After all, fighting might erupt at Luohekou at any time. Once he left, Guang With Baiye Sijue and Qu Chu, I am afraid that it would be difficult to resist the many gods of the Tianji Empire.
…
As the evening approached, Wei Qiu went straight into the Lingxi Hall and said in a low voice: "Five merchant ships from the Blackstone Empire have docked at Cangfeng Port. People who claim to be His Highness have brought in what they need."
"Is there any explanation as to who sent it?"
"Said it is His Royal Highness's younger sister."
Lin Muyu's heart sighed, it was Sikongyao, that's great!
He immediately sat up from his desk and said, "Wei Qiu, fly to Cangfeng Harbor with me, and bring the goods back overnight. You can't be robbed by the pirates of the Blackstone Empire."
"Yes!"
…
When night fell, two figures fell from the sky. It was Lin Muyu and Wei Qiu. After the Battle of Cangfeng Sea, the Imperial Navy was close to annihilation, but Cangfeng Harbor was close to the land, so it was still in the hands of the empire. However, there are not many garrisons, only a few thousand.
"See Your Highness! See Duke Wei Guo!"
A group of imperial soldiers knelt down one after another.
"Get up and take me to see the goods."
"Yes!"
In the port, five large ships were unloading. When Lin Muyu and Wei Chou approached, a fat businessman walked forward with a smile on his face, clasped his fist and said, "The villain Zhugeheng, see Your Royal Highness."
"Are you sent by A Yao?"
"Yes, the villain was originally one of the secret merchants of Tianjizong. It took a long time for Miss Sikongyao and the leader of Liu Buyi to get the cargo of these five ships. They spent nearly 100,000 gold coins on the way to manage the sea area along the way. "
"Really?" Lin Muyu was slightly pleased: "What's all there?"
Zhuge Heng smiled and said: "Four of the big ships are full of magic heart stones, enough to cast half a million magic heart arrows, and on the other ship are Bai Ze mercenaries looting the gold and silver of the Blackstone Empire's treasury, and Some of the high-level demon spirit stones that your Highness needs, among them... Miss Sikongyao went to Tianji City in person, and found Mr. Sikongming and asked for 7 demon king level demon spirit stones. Before leaving, she said that this is a special trip for you. Prepared, others cannot use it without authorization."
"Huh?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
Wei Qiu snickered aside.
