Chang Xun couldn't sit still after getting the news, his analysis was that the Yuanhe Empire would wait for the Ningyuan Empire to converge, if the two countries joined forces or attacked separately, it would be difficult to hold Dongzhou's troops, and if Dongzhou was lost, the Ningyuan Empire was likely to threaten Nanzhou, Nanzhou's troops were empty, and if it was rushed over by the Ningyuan Empire, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, after Chang Xun asked Yang Xing, he rushed to Dongzhou with his Tiger Roar Army to support, and crossed Nanzhou from Guzhong County to Lihua County and Yanhai County to cruise around to resist the edge of the Ningyuan Empire's army.

Chang Xun's powerful army is gone, and Nanzhou's defense is even more empty, but with Situ Muran's navy, coupled with Yuan Fang's powerful air force expanded to more than fifty airships and more than a dozen fog balloons, it is almost impossible for the fleet of the Liusang Empire to break through the defense line and reach Nanzhou, even if there are fish that slip through the net, Nanzhou's current strength should be enough to deal with it, so Chang Xun will apply to leave Nanzhou and go to Dongzhou to support.

Chang Xun found Yuan Fang before leaving, hoping to take away his Daybreak airship, Yuan Fang hesitated again and again or refused, the reason is very simple, the airship and the air force are the last hole cards of the empire and the key to victory, before forming enough combat effectiveness, for the time being, Yuan Fang is worried that Chang Xun will drive the Daybreak to the sky on a whim or at some critical moment to deter, that will affect the smooth progress of the overall plan, so he will refuse, but Yuan Fang promised Chang Xun that Daybreak will be reserved for Chang Xun, once the full-scale counteroffensive begins, The Dawnbreak will be sent to the Tiger Roar as soon as possible.

Chang Xun understood Yuan Fang's worries, did not insist, and instructed Yuan Fang to take care of his Dawn and left with his cavalry and some light stones.

Light stone, Chang Xun also likes it, especially after personally experiencing that he has enough Guangyuan at night, he can no longer do without this kind of thing, this time, he took away more light stones than Ye Zhi took, almost all of Yuan Fang's refining during this time, Yuan Fang, now he only has a dozen pieces on hand.

The materials needed to refine the light stone are not expensive, but there are some things that are not produced by the Eastern Saint Empire, and the same is true of nearby countries, so they need to go to another continent to buy them, so the refining of light stone has come to a standstill.

Of course, such a good thing Yuan Fang of course would not give up so easily, and discussed it with Mu Xinya, Mu Xinya immediately gathered people and a fleet to set off and went to the Red Cloth Sea to purchase the required raw materials, of course, Mu Xinya did not follow in person, her current identity, even if he killed Yuan Fang, he would not dare to let Mu Xinya take the risk.

The fleet that went to sea this time is very large, there are as many as ten armed warships, and they are all large warships, all kinds of weapons on them are complete, as long as they do not encounter the navy or storm of some countries, the safety is still guaranteed, in addition, there are more than 20 large cargo ships, all of which set sail empty, as for the cost of purchasing materials, Mo Zhiyuan brought a lot of silver tickets, but no one recognized that thing in the eastern seas, whether it is the country of Nanda Road or the pirates who live at sea, they are only serious about gold and silver, so, Yuan Fang came forward and exchanged the silver ticket for cash at Mu Xinya to solve this problem, to put it bluntly, it was Yuan Fang who gave Mu Xinya a silver ticket, and Mu Xinya's fleet went to buy materials, and in the end, how much money was spent on summary statistics.

After that, there is no need for Yuan Fang to worry about it, anyway, it is all the silver of the old Yang family, and he can't care how Mu Xinya wants to spend it. This time it is a procurement with a clear purpose, and it will not come into contact with too many people, so this time I didn't bring anyone from the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce, of course, the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce has no suitable candidates on Long Circle Island, they are just some craftsmen, Mo Zhiyuan can, but he has other things to do.

Regarding the purchased materials, Yuan Fang asked Mu Xinya in detail, and after confirming that the Eastern Saint Empire or the surrounding countries did not produce them, he discussed with Mu Xinya whether to hand over the routes, names and network resources of their Hengsha pirates to the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce, so that if they need anything in the future, the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce can buy it directly, and conduct maritime trade to earn more silver.

Although Mu Xinya really wanted to help her son, as the leader of the aborigines, she also had to be responsible for the people under her command, and after hesitating, Mu Xinya came up with a way, these resources could be handed over to the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce, and even their own ships could be given to the Chamber of Commerce, but Mu Xinya had a request, that is, a discount.

Yuan Fang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and felt that Mu Xinya was a little interesting, he had not yet met his own son and began to seek benefits, Yuan Fang felt that Mu Xinya had already agreed to go to the imperial capital, and she would definitely not pretend to be a pirate in the future, so these ships, these connections are useless things for her, but they are very beneficial to the development of the empire, as Yang Xing's biological mother, Mu Xinya should have given all these things to her son without saying a word, but now she said that she wanted to discount them? How can these things be discounted, the ship is okay, at least there is a reference comparison, the value can be estimated, but what else? How do you value your connections?

Yuan Fang's expression was a little complicated, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not, or that after Mu Xinya returned to the imperial capital, let Yang Xing tell her in person, and what Yang Xingai would do when the time came, it would be his business.

Seeing Yuan Fang's expression, Hongyi knew what this guy was thinking, pursed his lips disdainfully, and snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Mu Xinya smiled faintly and said to Yuan Fang: "Xiaofang, do you think it's a little inappropriate for me to do this?" ”

Although Yuan Fang thought so, how dare he admit it to his face, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, absolutely nothing." ”

The red coat pouted and said, "Hypocrisy." ”

Yuan Fang was choked speechless. Mu Xinya glanced at the red clothes with disgust, and said to Yuan Fang with a smile: "Xiaofang, let me have a word of conscience, these resources are not mine, they are slowly accumulated by everyone's efforts, especially with those pirates and merchants in the eastern seas, for these, everyone does not know how many dangers they have experienced, and many people have not even been able to come back, I said that I want to exchange it for silver, not that I want it, but to distribute it to everyone on the island, this is what they deserve, I can't covet this money with a clear conscience, And this money is also a new beginning for them, soon I will be reunited with Xing'er and Yi'er, I am afraid that I will not have much time to take care of them in the future, this money can allow them to buy some family business to make a living on their own, I can't take care of them for a lifetime. ”

Yuan Fang suddenly realized when he heard this, just now he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and gave a thumbs up and said: "Godmother is righteous, but I have a different opinion." ”

Mu Xinya said gently: "You say." ”

Yuan Fangyi said in his words: "Since the Hengsha Pirates were founded by you, and you led everyone to lay this foundation, then if you are rewarded for meritorious deeds, then your merit is the greatest, and you should take more benefits." ”
