Yuan Fang pretended to have a disappointed expression, but he didn't care much in his heart, he just said it casually, even if Dugu really agreed, he didn't dare to ask for it, after all, he was not his own person, who knows if the cook would secretly order some medicine when cooking, Yuan Fang is a doctor, yes, but he has no research on poison, let alone a strong man who is invincible to poisons, it is still very necessary to be careful, just like now, they all cook by themselves, and never go out to eat, of course, One of the most important reasons is that there is no money and I can't afford to eat.

Guan Xiaoyun walked up to Yuan Fang, took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to Yuan Fang, and said, "Dean, the imperial capital sent it." ”

Yuan Fang looked at the royal wax seal at the mouth of the envelope, knew that it was Yang Xing's reply, and smiled apologetically at Dugu Zhen and said, "Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll come when I go." ”

Dugu Zhen also saw the wax seal on the envelope representing the Dongsheng royal family, got up and said, "Since Lord Yuan has something important to deal with, I will leave first." ”

Yuan Fang retained and said, "Don't, Your Highness, wait a minute, maybe this matter has something to do with you." ”

Dugu Zhen was stunned: "It has something to do with me?" All right. Yuan Fang asked Guan Xiaoyun and Hongyi to accompany Dugu Zhen, and went to the study with Sang Rou and Jieyue.

After opening the envelope and reading the contents of the letter, Yuan Fang handed the letter to Sang Rou and Yuyue and said, "I didn't expect that the Liusang Empire had already sent an envoy to the imperial capital, so I said, these guys shouldn't let so many soldiers ignore it." ”

After Sang Rou and Yuyue read the letter, Yuyue was puzzled and said, "But Your Majesty said that there has been no movement on the side of the Wanliu Empire, what is going on?" ”

Yuan Fang was also very puzzled, it stands to reason that the few warships that were let go should have returned to the Wanliu Empire a long time ago? Did something happen on the way back? Even then, the Wanliu Empire shouldn't have sent a fleet and then didn't care, logistics supplies, and the battle situation had to be replenished and understood in real time, so why didn't there be any movement.

Sang Rou looked at Yuan Fang: "Brother-in-law, should we go to the Wanliu Empire?" ”

The so-called turning is to drive an airship to the Wanliu Empire to stir up the wind and rain and show off its might, and use deterrence to make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties and make the right choice, which is a brand-new tactic, and can crush the enemy's confidence without using swords.

Yuan Fang pondered for a long time and finally shook his head and said: "Let's do this first, our current strength can't be too public, after all, the Wanliu Empire belongs to the Southern Continent, what is the specific situation over there, we have a black eye, and if we go over so rashly, we may suffer a big loss, and then the gains outweigh the losses." First of all, Xianhe Ningyuan, Yuanhe and Liusang have settled the accounts of these years, and then we will take out our hands to study the affairs of the Wanliu Empire. ”

Not only Yuan Fang wondered, in fact, the high-level of the Wanliu Empire was also anxious, they didn't know what was going on until now, the Storm Fleet would get in touch with the Empire every once in a while ago, informing them of their progress and voyage, but they lost contact after they arrived in the waters of the Dongsheng Empire, and for so long, there was no news.

The Wanliu Empire sent some clippers to the Dongsheng Empire to check, but these ships also sank into the sea and never returned.

As time passes, the emperor of the Wanliu Empire can't sit still, the storm fleet is the most elite fleet of the Wanliu Empire, let's put it this way, although the Wanliu Empire has three major fleets, but only the storm fleet really has strong combat effectiveness, although the combat units of the other two fleets are huge, but neither the warships nor the weapons equipped on them can be compared with the storm fleet, the combat effectiveness can only be said to be average, and there is no advantage compared with the navies of other surrounding countries, if something happens to the storm fleet, The navy of the Wanliu Empire will suddenly be reduced to second-rate.

Unable to contact, the emperor of the Wanliu Empire was anxious, regardless of the dissuasion of the minister, and sent the sea wolf fleet guarding the coastal military port to Dongsheng, to join the storm fleet, and investigate the reason for the disappearance of the liaison ships along the way, at the same time, the Wanliu Empire also sent envoys to the Liusang Empire and the Yuanhe Empire to inquire about the situation of the Dongsheng war, hoping to find the reason for the loss of the storm fleet from the mouths of these two allies.

Things are a bit out of everyone's expectations, the two Wanliu warships that were deliberately let go were intended to return to the empire as soon as possible to inform the high-level of this terrible news, but they didn't expect that they had just fled back to the eastern seas and encountered pirates, these pirates, who had been bullied by the fleet of the Wanliu Empire before, were often beaten to the head of the rats, this time, the pirates found that the elite warships of the Wanliu Empire turned around and ran away as before, but they ran out for a while and found that the other party did not pursue them, but hurried with their lives, And what makes the pirates strange is that there are only two warships from beginning to end, and there is no main fleet behind them, the pirates follow behind the two warships, and make sure that there are really no other warships, and after a short discussion, they decided to retaliate, and retaliate fiercely, so this large pirate gang with more than a dozen warships launched an attack on the two surviving battleships of the two fleeing storm fleets, and the two sides fought for a long time, and finally the warships of the storm fleet were invincible with both fists, plus the Dongsheng Empire gave them a fatal blow to morale, As a result, one was sunk, the other was captured.

After the pirates learned the news that the Dongsheng Empire had a strong air force from the mouths of the captives, they kept this matter a secret, thinking that the Wanliu Empire would suffer more, and also united a few colleagues with good relations to ambush near the route to the Dongsheng Empire, and encountered all the ships of the Wanliu Empire and sank them, blocking the news of the rout of the Storm Fleet. Under normal circumstances, they would not attack the merchant ships of the Wanliu Empire, but even so, the Wanliu Empire relied on its strength to chase and kill them all over the world, forcing them to almost a dead end, this resentment is difficult to resolve, and now, the pirates have finally found an opportunity to retaliate, and they will naturally not let go.

The Sea Wolf Fleet set sail, the pirates got the news as soon as possible, and prepared in advance, they didn't want to fight with the Sea Wolf Fleet, although the combat effectiveness of the Sea Wolf Fleet was only average, but the number was too large, and the well-trained and tacit understanding was not something that they could compete with these pirates, the pirates' idea was very simple, avoid, let the Sea Wolf Fleet pass, let them go to the Dongsheng Empire to die, and then continue to block the sea route, cut off the contact between the fleet and the Wanliu Empire, and let the Wanliu Empire suffer a big loss again.
