The ninth day of the first lunar month·Hope Harbor
The bell car stopped at the dock area, and Taoist soldiers swarmed in and stood in isolation to listen to the orders.
In an instant, the dock area was silent. Ye Qing smiled silently and got out of the car. He was dressed in a green Taoist robe and looked free and easy. Then came Liniang in a green coat and colorful skirt, adding a touch of beauty to this gray harbor.
Ye Qing took a quick look and moved forward. Liniang followed suit. She looked and saw that the winter snow had stopped. The sky was clear and blue at noon. The sun shone on the hills and snowfields. The snow had not yet melted, and the sea breeze was blowing in front of her.
, all taste like grains of salt.
At that moment, she stretched out her hand to feel the sea breeze and said: "The north wind is weakening. If it continues like this, the snow will melt in ten and a half days. The winter defense counterattack has entered the final stage..."
"Tens of thousands of savage slaves are coming on the road. If we pay this fee in our inventory, the rest will be empty, and we will not be able to maintain the operation of the exchange house.
"There are already rumors among the people, and a delay of a few more days is likely to cause instability."
"Don't worry, I can make it today." Ye Qing looked towards the horizon and calmly stood on the dock waiting.
The message was transmitted through the special channel of Chuanlin Notes, so it was absolutely unmistakable. Ye Qing had nothing to do for a while, so he looked at the various documents, gave instructions one by one, and stamped them with small seals.
The sunlight formed a shadow under his feet, and the shadow stretched eastward, casting onto the door of the lighthouse. There were traces of swords and guns on the black wood, as well as the graffiti of an unknown kid - Port of Hope.
The crooked handwriting has been mottled by the wind and sand over time.
When Ye Qing saw this wooden door, he suddenly thought that this port had been standing here for a hundred years since it was discovered by the immortals. There must have been many people waiting here, all with such an urgent mood.
"Woo--" The horn sounded on the sea level, causing everyone in the port to turn their heads and look. The mast appeared on the horizon, making people think that some sea ship was coming to trade furs again.
But then his eyes widened, and someone moved his lips slightly and counted: "One, two, three...eight, nine...nine ships, good guy, this is a big fleet."
"Are they coming?" Liniang looked over with her spiritual sense. Xiping looked very close to the calm sea. In fact, it was still far away and she couldn't communicate with her. But her heart was beating loudly - Zhenjun said that the fleet would come back today and would greet him personally.
That's probably it
Ye Qing closed his eyes for a moment, communicated with a spiritual consciousness on the sea, opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Let the ships clear the main channel, don't block the blockage."
"Yes" The originally boring port area suddenly became busy. Several fishing boats sped up to leave or enter the main channel, and cattle carts began to line up on the ramp waiting to transport goods.
The gantry crane used for loading and unloading between the ship and the dock was raised, and the pilot boarded a speedboat and went to greet the guide... Hope Harbor has a semi-surrounding windproof wave shape, and you need to go around from one side to enter.
Originally, the port area could not accommodate the unloading and storage of nine large wooden cargo ships of the highest level. Liniang was a little surprised when she looked at it, and secretly wondered how the Lord transported it to the Eastern Wasteland.
"Can't pretend?" Ye Qing noticed her expression.
"It's enough now... Fortunately, the Lord has taken precautions and expanded the warehouse in advance, and the old inventory has been almost consumed recently, so it can just accommodate..."
After a while, the sea breeze blew the giant sails, and nine giant ships showed their huge bodies in front of people. They were hundreds of meters in length and were also top-notch configurations among sea-going ships specializing in bulk trade. At this time, they docked one by one in the deep water of the main dock area.
On the berth, the water waves stirred up and wet the wooden planks of the pier. As soon as the upper side of the first flagship fell, several people jumped out, led by Cao Cao and Lu Xun.
Cao Cao and Lu Xun rushed up quickly. When they arrived, they kowtowed to the ground and said, "I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
"Meng De's rosy face is a happy event in his boudoir's life recently?" Ye Qing said casually with a smile and waved his hand: "It's a little late to come."
"My lord has been waiting for a long time, I am afraid." Cao Cao said sternly, and also smiled: "The transport fleet encountered an eruption of underwater spiritual energy in the sea hundreds of miles to the west, which just stirred up the icebergs passing here, and was delayed in the chaos for half a day.
But thanks to Mrs. Qian... there was still no danger."
He swallowed back half of the sentence, as if he hadn't said it yet. Ye Qing had already found out about it from Qianqian, so he didn't blame him for such a natural accident. He turned to Lu Xun and nodded: "The war in the east is about to end. There are too many savage prisoners and we are assimilating them."
Difficulty, it’s just right for you to bring this group of officials and sailors, and you don’t have to leave for the time being... In the national and opposition system, the Chinese people themselves must be strong..."
"How many savages... how many?" As soon as he said this, Lu Xun understood and couldn't help but ask.
"One hundred thousand...but many young men died in battle, so having 20,000 here would be good."
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this, and he said: "You can follow the story of Qingzhou soldiers..."
"Oh? That's fine..."
Ye Qing said, at this time, twenty familiar guards came forward, all saluted with "pa", and automatically moved closer to the king's left and right sides. This familiar feeling made Ye Qing smile, and turned his eyes to the deck, looking at
I saw several beautiful figures, even though I was covered by my cloak, I couldn't block the feeling, and my smile widened for a moment.
This trip was still risky. None of the ladies came, except for Qianqian and Cai Wenji. Qianqian and Cai Wenji came to practice. Qianqian went into seclusion. Cai Wenji didn't appear in public a few times. Relatively speaking, the harem's appearances were rare and easy to cover up.
"This... is Donghuang?"
As soon as Qianqian got on the deck and took a breath, she glanced at the environment and saw hills and dense forests. Her heart skipped a beat and she was completely stunned.
In her field of vision, the overwhelming green color rushed toward her, like ocean waves, mountains, and the heaven and earth hanging upside down.
She regained her composure and returned her gaze. When she regained consciousness, the deep source of Mu De that had just touched the entire land was so rich that the naturally erupted emerald green aura made her tremble all over, like a person who had been thirsty for a long time in the desert and encountered the sweet spring of an oasis.
Only in this refreshing moment did I remember what the taste of water is... It turns out that this is the taste of pure greenness.
"It's a pity that it still has some strange aura..." Cai Wenji tilted her head and said. She couldn't feel the source of wood yet, so she analyzed the aura on the surface.
Qianqian didn't respond. When she walked down the deck in a daze, Ye Qing stretched out his hand to her, as if he knew what she was doing, and winked: "Don't be stunned."
"Um."
She looked at the young man's face and felt that the familiar blood and soul were a little strange. She looked into his eyes, hesitated, and convinced herself that this was her husband's clone, so she put her hand on his.
...It's just a hand-holding.
"Your Highness is welcome to inspect the territory." Ye Qing led her down and said jokingly.
Qianqian smiled slightly. Her abnormality could be sensed by the other party, and others might not be able to see through his background. She could sense that her husband's clone was weakening, so she whispered in a low voice: "You have to let me protect you again."
She wore a cloak and hood throughout the process, and her female figure was only vaguely visible in the undulations of the clothing. And Ye Qing's clone attached such importance to protection that people in Hope Hong Kong looked at each other and couldn't help but gossip: "It can't be Madam..."
"It seems to be a Yang Goddess cultivator. I wonder if she is a goddess from any fairy sect in the East China Sea..."
"Oh, two more came down." A sailor with sharp eyes saw Cai Wenji and a female disciple from the Qingmu Sect behind him. He couldn't help but overturned Mrs. Jun's original guess that it was impossible for the number of female cultivators in the Immortal Sect to work together with one husband, and then changed his mind: "Transfer
With high-end combat power, you won’t have to go on an eastern expedition, right?”
"Winter is almost over, now is the time for the Eastern Expedition?"
While there was a lot of discussion, many people were staring at the remaining ships.
The old port manager showed a smile: "You can guess pretty much whether the supplies can be unloaded. No wonder there is no recruitment in the territory this winter. If the reinforcements have not arrived, it makes sense..."
After Ye Qing greeted the two ladies, he still stayed in the port area.
This time, a real person from the Qingmu Sect was brought back, and some of the elite soldiers were reported to the death list during the war. The number was not large, and they were hidden from the sight of the Cai Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they were all transferred to this side secretly.
When Ye Qing saw that the boat was safely docked, he waved his hand and the guards followed him. The clanking sound of their iron-clad boots on the road was filled with solemnity.
Liniang looked sideways and saw that it was different from the past. It was shrouded in a layer of majesty, and she felt a little disappointed for no reason.
Ye Qing came to a stop in a large warehouse. At this time, a man kowtowed heavily and said, "My lord, I would like to pay my respects to you."
"Well, you're here." Ye Qing smiled: "Get up, I'll have to salute later."
Seeing that no instructions were needed, a group of magicians came in, bowed silently, and then stood aside.
Next, there is Huo Chang, with about thirty people. This is the southern army sent by the body to protect Qianqian.
Then, there was still a fire chief, about a hundred people, and these were the non-commissioned officers of the Northern Army who were transported.
Finally, there were the officials. These officials came in like a wave. There were four hundred people in front and behind them. They were all filled with people. Looking at these, Ye Qing flashed an imperceptible smile.
The key ministers who were supervised by the Cai Dynasty did not come, but with these few people, these people could immediately support a Hanhou Mansion in Dongzhou.
"I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty." At this time, everyone bowed and knelt on the ground. It was so quiet that no one could hear a sound.
Ye Qing waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please get up."
"Yes." Everyone stood up and stood solemnly, waiting with bated breath. Sweat broke out on their backs. They saw Ye Qing glance at it and said: "Without further delay, we will establish the Eastern Han Dynasty today. The system will be the same as that of the New Han Dynasty.
If there are any corrections, the rest of the personnel will be promulgated as soon as possible.”
After saying that, she looked at Liniang with a smile. Liniang was dumbfounded. Although her master's martial arts were far superior to these people, she didn't know why, but she felt an awe-inspiring aura within her.
After seeing this, he woke up. In response, he stood up and carefully took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. When he had the courage to read it, he read out: "Yili, Eastern Han Dynasty, Jian Shu Tuan, deputy leader Ji Qing."
A female nun silently bowed down and accepted the post.
The world of Taoism is like this. The first force is the magician group. Originally, it was most suitable for Qianqian to continue to lead it, but now that her cultivation is more important, Ye Qing leads it herself, and this person is the deputy leader.
"Female Ye Wei as a guard of the Southern Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
This is a member of the Ye family. At this time, he responded in a deep voice. This person is not very talented, but he is loyal. The Southern Army is actually the Forbidden Army, so it is suitable for him to lead it.
"Feng Gaoshun, Lieutenant of the Northern Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
The Northern Army was the main force of the Han Army. In fact, Zhao Yun was originally his target. Unfortunately, Zhao Yun was relatively familiar with it and Gao Shun was relatively low-key, so he was transferred here.
Gao Shun was originally Lu Bu's lieutenant general. According to historical records, Gao Shun was a clean and dignified man who was not fond of drinking. The troops he commanded were very elite and were known as the "falling camp". There were 700 people under his direct command. They were known as the "falling camp".
Gao Shun repeatedly gave loyal advice to Lü Bu, but although Lü Bu knew his loyalty, he could not use it. After Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu, Gao Shun was killed by Cao Cao.
At this time, Gao Shun kowtowed and obeyed his orders.
