Chapter 431: Crusade against the East China Sea (66)
The time for the council of the royal palace had come, but no one came.
The king looked at the empty council hall and asked the palace governor beside him, "What is the matter?"
The manager did not answer.
"Tell me what's wrong. The king's tone was stern.
The governor replied: "According to folklore, the Shenwu general Chen Wu took refuge in Xuantian, and now the Xuantian troops have come ashore, and the two parties are converging and are rushing to the royal city. And the sea continent and General Wu's army were trapped on Xizhen Island, and there was no ship to get down. General Wu is even dead. ”
"Is it a legend? I should be here today, the officials all retreated, and it seemed that I was the only one who knew the news. Why didn't anyone tell me that you were going to let me get a good night's sleep at the end?
"The news couldn't enter the palace, all the officials in the palace were summoned by the sea to go, and the Wangcheng army did not make a defensive posture. ”
"Hai Mouxiang, maybe I should have listened to him in the first place. It seems that they all surrendered, and they were all wise. Xuantian went ashore, and no one could stop him. War is like that, once the big picture is decided, the loser will lose everything overnight. The so-called defeat of the army is like a mountain, and it is not only the soldiers who are defeated, but also the hearts of the people. ”
"The guards are still waiting outside the temple, and may the Lord of the Protector leave. ”
"Our country is an island, where can we go. Let them go, and you go. ”
"The old slave doesn't leave. The slave has been by the side of the lord for thirty-six years, and he has never thought of leaving. ”
"Why bother. ”
"The lord of the country doesn't need to say much, the queen and all the princesses, as well as the princes and princesses are all waiting, is there a message?"
"No, give me a meditation wine, you and I can have a drink. ”
"Yes, the old slave will go and prepare. ”
The steward withdrew from the hall, and the king stood alone in the empty hall, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jingxin wine is poisonous wine, when Chen Wu and Xiang Bei entered the palace, the palace was already a dead silence, only the maids and guards were waiting on their knees, and they were not hindered when they entered the city, just like the king said, everyone is very wise, the commander of the Wangcheng Guardian Legion is also the Tianwu general who is the official seal of the second sword, and he is still the king's son-in-law, but he has never ordered to block, because he knows that he is afraid that no one will carry out the order, it is better to leave a way for himself to live.
And the palace officials, under the leadership of Hai Zhongguang, stayed outside the palace and entered the palace with them at this time.
When they came to the council hall, they saw the king and the steward lying on the table, dead.
He stepped forward, straightened the king's body, and helped him wipe the wine off his face. Tell the guards: "Bury the king and clean the palace." ”
The guards answered the order, carried the king and the steward down, and gathered up the wine and food on the table.
Prime Minister Haimou turned around and announced loudly: "From now on, the palace will be closed, and all officials will wait for Xuantian's order." ”
A group of people answered the order, and the battle was over. It seems too smooth, but the truth is that once the big picture is decided, the loser will lose everything in an instant. And Chen Wu and Hai Zhongguang already have mastered the East China Sea civil and military, if there is anyone else to fight against them, it is wonderful.
At sea, the kite also received the order early, and Xuantian's fleet hid for a few days and came back.
Kite looked incredulous: "Sister Yu, how do you say they fought, why are they so fast? It stands to reason that it will take a few days to destroy the East China Sea army." ”
At this time, it was Yu Meiren who was chatting with her, and Yu Meiren said that she didn't know, how could she know, but if she won, she could go back to Xuanyuan Continent with them.
When the fleet arrived at the port of the East China Sea, even Hao Pang had already returned and rushed to Wangcheng. But none of them lived in the royal city, but they all lived in the house of Haizhongguang.
At this time, Chu was holding a igniter in his hand, and above the ground was a cannon battle made of bamboo, covering his ears with one hand, lighting it with the other, and then he hurriedly ran.
There was a bang, and Chu told Xiang Bei with pity: "Yes, this thing is more fun than directly lighting that divine fire bomb." At that point, you have to run with the strength of milk. It's weird and scary to run away. ”
Xiang Bei pouted: "I've never seen you like this, I have to listen to this movement, the good divine fire bomb has been hollowed out, and it is all for you to play." ”
"It's not boring, the kite hasn't arrived yet, and they can't go back. Chu said pityingly, took another one from the stone table, and continued to order.
Hao Pang walked in: "Sir, princess, my battle news has been written, you can see if there is anything missing." ”
Xiang Bei took it and flipped through it, and asked if he wrote it? With so many words, he can be so diligent.
Hao Pang smiled: "I'll dictate, General Xue ghostwrites." Anyway, the stone pen you got from the ship on the sea can be very useful, and the writing can be so small, otherwise we might have to have two sharp sword eagles. ”
Xiang Bei flipped through the battle news: "What do you mean, why are there two copies?"
Hao Pang squatted down: "Sir, you don't understand, this is called Bencheng News, if the army wins a big victory, this kind of message can be sent." Instead of reporting directly to the palace, the message was sent to the city gate, and the city gate herald would ride all the way through the city to make a proclamation, leading the people in the city to celebrate, and finally to the palace. The reason why there are two points, the above one can be opened at the city gate, is a few words, the slogan they want to shout in the city, and the details at the bottom can only be opened when they are sent to the palace. ”
"And this said, you ancients are quite good at playing, but aren't you too modest. ”
"What kind of modesty, can anyone win more thoroughly than us? It's good that I didn't send Ben Guoxun, Ben Guoxun started to announce it along the way from the border. Sir, take a look, if there is anything wrong, I will correct it. ”
"Yes, it didn't start right, but I don't think you're going to change it. ”
After Xiang Bei finished speaking, Hao Pang took the battle news back: "It really can't be changed here, otherwise I will tease them." Sir, don't look at it, what are you doing?"
"I'm measuring the data of this divine fire bomb, after we leave, the Xuantian officers on the island have to arrange production, and our weapons can't come over, so we can only use their divine fire to descend from the sky first, and the ammunition is not enough. ”
"What the gentleman said was that it was very important, or was the gentleman thoughtful, and I went to the arraignment. ”
Hao Pang whistled and left, and just walked to the door, there was a bang under his feet, which startled him, and Chu laughed pitifully: "How about it, I dare to take it in my hand and throw it out." ”
Hao Pang smiled bitterly: "It's good if you're happy, princess." ”
Xiang Bei told Chu to pity: "Don't play like that, their fire powder is extremely unstable, and the ingredients are not uniform enough, maybe any of them will burn quickly at one point." ”
Chu said that it was okay, no matter how he said it, he was also a mage. He squatted beside Xiang Bei: "I said, there is also news of surrender on the island." These naval soldiers from the Sea Continent, do we have to bring some back to Tianlong, otherwise we won't be able to use our ships when the time comes. ”
Xiang Bei said no, Xuantian would help, what do you want some prisoners for.
"Then do we want Xuantian to share the information on the Sea Continent with us, General Xue has been busy interrogating for the past two days, and he has also got a map of the Sea Continent. I heard that there are many countries in the Strait Continent, but this time it is only the navy of a country called Tianli. ”
"What do you want that thing to do, it's Xuantian's business to deal with the Opposite Sea Continent, let's not ask for trouble. From now on, we'll just ignore it and help them produce this divine fire bomb stably, this is really crudely made. ”
"How?"
"It's just that the two semicircles are deducted together and melted together after they are burned red, you say that it is rough or not, this is advanced for the sea continent, but it is not much advanced. It's not even as high-tech as our igniters. ”
"Igniters are fun, seriously, if you weren't smoking, would you think of doing this?"
"No, it won't. Xiang Bei admitted that that thing was made for the convenience of smoking.
