Lu Ming frowned slightly while reading the newspaper in the study room of Bailou, Montenegro. The headline on the front page of "World Tribune" was that the New Rencia Autonomous Prefecture announced its annexation to the Kingdom of Sonia.
The Sonia people are full of force and their power is expanding rapidly. More than 20 states with a population of more than 300 million have been integrated into the territory of the Kingdom of Sonia.
The state of New Valencia is already very close to Hanzhou, the most southwestern traditional state of the Central Continents.
It seems that more than 40 states and provinces, including the Eastern Alliance, that have not expressed their opinions can be counted as administrative regions of the Kingdom of Grifenni.
But in reality, most states and provinces are just watching and will not actually contribute to the eldest prince's fight against the Sonia Kingdom.
What the eldest prince really controls is a dozen states.
King Sony temporarily stopped fighting with the eldest prince, and instead marched northward. I am afraid that the next target will be Hanzhou and other Central Asian provinces.
The Sonyans have been expanding their military preparations, and the main army already has about a million people.
Moreover, the states and provinces it occupies are all traditional areas of Westerners, with strong industrial capabilities and technological products.
There are rumors that although Sanmai Company has not yet supplied goods, several flight companies in the Sonia Kingdom have already developed their own bombers and fighter jets. They are probably not as mature as Sanmai Company's products, but as long as they continue, the technologies of both parties will
The gap will naturally gradually narrow.
Lu Ming pondered, opened the drawer, and took out a telegram from inside.
It was a secret message sent by the second prince a few days ago. He hoped that he could induce the Eastern Alliance to send a peace observation team to several states where the Gede people lived to conduct inspections and set the record straight.
The Gedes and Sonia people were once feuding neighbors. The core states of Sofia were originally extremely wealthy land of plenty. However, in the industrial age, they became backward areas. The Gedes of the adjacent states were originally poor areas.
, but it became a wealthy state with extremely developed commerce and trade.
Today, several autonomous prefectures of the Ged people have long been annexed by the Kingdom of Sonia.
But last month, it was reported that the Sonia people were carrying out genocidal Nazi rule in the Gede state, setting up many concentration camps, and using the Gede people to conduct experiments on biological and chemical weapons such as poison gas.
There was an uproar in public opinion, and the Eastern League issued a statement fiercely criticizing this.
Therefore, there is this telegram from the second prince.
Lu Ming pondered, and it was time to schedule someone to go to the west to have a look.
…
In the study room of the Octagon Building in Wuhan City, Lu Ming, who was deep in thought, suddenly came back to his senses and stood up.
Time is running out, the Northern Territory must be pacified as soon as possible, otherwise, the hope of being able to compete with the Westerners will become increasingly slim.
This is still a break between the two major Western groups. If they cooperate, our side really has no chance.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming walked out of the study and turned a corner in the corridor. In front of this room, two female agents from the Special Work Department were standing. When Lu Ming signaled, they opened the door.
It is a suite inside, with all the furniture you need. There is also a TV set in the corner of the living room. It is definitely a new thing in Wuhan City. Of course, you can't receive any channels, you can only watch video tapes.
There were several women sitting in the living room. Seeing Lu Ming come in, the others stood up with a slight fear. Only a beautiful lady in a snow-white fur coat remained motionless. She was Tuoba Lan.
Among the women, the gray-haired old woman was Ma Quanyou's first wife, named Ma Jinhua.
However, after Ma Quanyou proclaimed himself queen and Tuoba Lan became khan, Ma Jinhua was only the khan concubine among the four concubines.
There were two other women, not too young at all. They were the wives of two important generals of Ma Quanyou. They stayed in Chishui City and were captured together.
"Write a letter to your husbands, urging them to surrender!" Lu Ming stared at several people with sinister eyes.
"You know it's impossible." Tuoba Lan sneered.
Lu Ming looked her up and down, his unusually fiery gaze making Tuoba Lan finally feel uneasy and pulled the front of her shirt.
"I want to see your letter tonight!" Lu Ming turned and left.
…
In the study, looking at the chaotic White Sea area on the map, Lu Ming shook his head.
Even in today's society, there is still no real map of the White Sea area. The main reason is that no one will explore it. The area is too vast and extremely dangerous, and no one knows what to do once it is explored.
A hot air balloon has been there before, but it has never come back.
As for the geographical situation inside, it is also spread by word of mouth. It is not known whether it is true or not.
Since the internal staff officer hasn't sent out the telegram yet, something may have happened.
However, it is also possible that it has been severely disturbed. After all, it is already in the Tianshan Mountains area.
Waiting like this is not the solution. It seems that the only option is to use the last resort.
Time is running out. From now on, I really have to race against time. There is nothing I can do about it.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head helplessly.
…
That night, a scandal broke out in the Octagon Building of Wuhan's Special Work Department.
When Minister Wang was drunk, he was so angry that he wanted to rape Queen Tuoba Khan because he was provoked by Queen Tuoba Khan.
At the critical moment, he was stopped by the deputy minister who came after hearing the news.
The deputy minister should have reported it immediately. The next day, several military inspectors came and locked up Minister Wang.
Of course, only a few people inside knew about this scandal.
…
In the bedroom of the suite where she was under house arrest, Tuoba Lan sat depressed in the corner, filled with shame and anger, not knowing who to vent to.
Ma Jinhua came over and sat next to her and said with a smile: "It's okay. It's all over. You haven't been humiliated. And didn't you listen to their officers? That villain committed a heinous crime and may be shot!"
Won’t I help you get revenge?”
Seeing her contemptuous smile, Tuoba Lan bit her red lips and remained silent.
"From now on, we all have to rely on you to take care of us. You have to protect our old bones!" Ma Jinhua's tone was full of sarcasm.
From the few words spoken by several investigating officers, several women could tell that Tuoba Lan was beautiful, and the Prince of Black Mountain Castle also heard about her reputation.
If there is no use here and no help in the Western Expedition, Tuoba Lan will be sent to Montenegro to serve His Highness the Prince.
Minister Wang actually intended to taint the woman that the prince liked, which was naturally a heinous crime.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, this is an extremely confidential matter and cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
As for the women under house arrest, it doesn't matter. According to their opinions, I am afraid that except for Tuoba Lan, the rest of them will be imprisoned for the rest of their lives, and not even a word will be spread out.
Ma Jinhua was extremely dissatisfied because this vixen had robbed her of her status as a legal wife. She didn't dare to speak out before, but now she doesn't care about it. She will be imprisoned until death anyway.
Tuoba Lan ignored Ma Jinhua.
At this moment, something was heard outside, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman walked in quickly. Before Ma Jinhua could speak, she was knocked unconscious by the woman's palm.
"Follow me!" The woman had a pistol in her hand, and the black hole pointed the muzzle at Tuoba Lan.
Tuoba Lan suddenly had a look of horror on her face. This woman was clearly that Minister Wang, but the woman's attire and even her breasts were high, making her look like a vigorous woman.
Tuoba Lan wanted to say something, but Minister Wang covered her mouth, tied her up tightly, carried her and walked out.
Facing Minister Wang's powerful strength, Tuoba Lan was unable to resist at all, as she knew the night before.
I even thought about giving up the struggle, flattering him, and then taking the opportunity to bite him hard and seriously hurt him.
Fortunately, at that time, someone finally came to stop this madman.
Minister Wang carried him outside. Outside the room, the sentry was lying in a pool of blood. In the corridor Minister Wang walked, it seemed that the sentry had been killed by him.
"Don't move..." Minister Wang's voice was very low, and he took out a piece of cloth and covered Tuoba Lan's eyes.
Then, Tuoba Lan felt like the clouds were flying in the mist, and she didn't know where this madman was going.
But soon, the sound of the sentry checking was heard, like the sound of gunfire with a silencer, and the sentry stopped making any movement.
After a while, the sound of a car horn was heard not far away, and there was some kind of broadcast. It sounded like it was a long-distance bus station in this county.
Suddenly someone shouted, and then gunshots rang out.
She felt like the clouds were flying and a madman was running around.
There were gunshots everywhere.
But gradually, the sound of gunfire faded away.
I don't know how much time passed, but the madman's breathing became heavier and heavier.
Finally, her feet landed on the ground, and the cloth strips around her eyes were torn off.
There is no moon tonight, and everything is pitch black, but it looks like it should be in the wilderness, with a lone willow tree in the distance, swaying in the howling north wind.
"Damn it, we were still discovered, the roads to the mainland are all blocked!"
The madman collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, looking very tired.
Then, the madman cast his flaming eyes on her, and said grimly: "It's all because of you that I am now a fugitive. The power of Black Mountain Castle is so vast that there is no place for me! Today, I will
First..." As he spoke, he slowly stood up.
Tuoba Lan was stunned, her mouth was tightly blocked by a ball of cloth, and she could only let out a whining sound.
"Shh!" The madman suddenly gestured, pulled her violently, and rolled with her into the ravine on the side.
After a while, several fast horses galloped past.
The madman spat, "Damn it, this is the way to Baihai. I thought it would be safer to go in this direction first, but it still doesn't work. The sky is so big and the earth is so big that there is really no place for me!..." He suddenly said
The ground stopped for a moment, not knowing what to think of, and he began to think deeply.
Looking at Tuoba Lan, he suddenly smiled: "After Khan, if I send you safely to Ma Quanyou..." Then he immediately shook his head, "No, no, no, then Ma Quanyou is ruthless and suspicious, so he will definitely ignore everything.
Just shoot me." He snorted again, "Forget Ma Quanyou, the moment you saw Ma Quanyou, didn't you want him to kill me?"
Suddenly hearing that this madman was going to send her to her husband, Tuoba Lan's heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of her throat. Unfortunately, she couldn't speak and could only whine desperately.
The madman looked at her, finally loosened the rope around her mouth, and took out the ball of cloth from her mouth.
"As long as you can send me to the Great Khan, I can swear a grassland blood oath to keep you safe!" Tuoba Lan said solemnly.
The madman stared at her, and Tuoba Lan felt uneasy, just like a death row prisoner waiting for trial. It is true that he was killed after being humiliated, or could see her husband innocently again, all in the madman's mind, unknowingly,
Tuoba Lan was so nervous that her whole body was covered in cold sweat.
