In a private room on the top floor of a restaurant on the side of the street, there was a girl in white sitting by the window. Her whole body exuded the aura of keeping away from others, and a long sword lay across her knees.
Several gray-clothed guards walked into the room, knelt on the ground as soon as they entered, and reported to the girl: "Master Zhou, this strange behavior has been put under surveillance. There are fifteen forces, and the total number is... As long as
You will definitely catch them all in one move."
Zhou Ling listened to them quietly, rubbed the cold metal surface of the sword with her fingers, and nodded slightly: "I know, don't do it yet...it's still needed recently.
"Yes." The guard in gray lowered his head even lower.
While speaking, Zhou Ling actually didn't care much. She turned her gaze to the window. Her pure eyes reflected the gray clouds, and there were four or five stars in the heavy snow. This was the wake of the fleet.
A smile flashed across the girl's thin cheek, almost without a trace... The raw materials of the two regions were different. The local refining of the airship was a process that gradually became familiar. The first batch of nine ships did not have weapon systems.
The three re-refined ships and the two newly-refined ships are equipped with additional weapon systems, which can be regarded as perfect copies. Only at this stage can the master submit the complete manufacturing process to the heaven to redeem the heavenly power.
"What a perfectly timed, wonderful sword move..." In her eyes, the young master has always had this style, just like when he taught her how to use the sword... It always feels like a long, long time has passed, but those days are still in her memory.
It's still so clear and warm inside.
Knowing the cold and taciturn style of their immediate superiors, several gray-clad guards resigned after being ordered to do so. They were finally frightened by the fairy ship and went out to the street to listen to the people's discussions. Even these intelligence chiefs couldn't help but marvel and look at each other.
Whisper: "Are those ships just now our Yingxiang fleet?"
"It should be, but these are not things we can discuss..."
Seeing the shadows of ships flying through the sky, turning into stars and heading towards Taiping Lake, Prince Xin's envoy was startled and suddenly realized, his face was so pale that he couldn't scream... The Xiangzhou Navy was on the river.
sealed
"Envoy, what should we do?" the attendant asked.
The special envoy hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Meet the Marquis of Han to see if there is any news..."
On the high hillside, Ye Qing watched the fleet go away. It wasn't until the dots of fleets disappeared from sight that he looked away, feeling a little bit of joy and pride in his heart.
Only a few core internal personnel know the truth - except for these five battleships, the first batch of nine ships are still transport ships, but they have exactly the same appearance. Who can tell that they are just superficial?
As far as the effects of nuclear weapons on Earth are concerned in my own memory, the greatest value of a strategic weapon lies in its bargaining power before use, rather than its actual use. Of course, its power must be proven before...
That's why we had the demonstration of bombarding the hilltop just now, so that everyone could see it clearly. This is very effective in boosting the confidence of the military and civilians, and it is also effective in destroying the confidence of opponents.
"Lord, envoys from all over the world are asking for an audience." At this moment, Ji Caizhu said respectfully.
"Let them come up..." Ye Qing had no intention of specifically moving to the Government Hall to receive them, and said casually: "Place a few tables and cushions in the snow, and prepare food and wine. The wine must be warm."
Fu Chengshan looked at the silence and sighed inwardly. Although he was not sure about the strength of what he just saw, he knew that even if there were only five ships in front of him, they were all powerful, and the entire situation would change dramatically.
First of all, the rule and people's hearts in the Xianghan Marquis District will be stabilized, and no one will dare to resist secretly. Presumably many people will withdraw from secret communication with the imperial court or other princes.
The second thing is that both the imperial court and the princes have to face up to the fact that no matter what the purpose of the fleet is, it is inevitable that the imperial navy will withdraw from the blockade and the overall situation will abandon the blockade.
It's really a good method, I just hope that Han Hou's methods are not so straightforward.
The crisp sound of stepping on the snow sounded from behind, and the envoys who had been ordered by various forces to come to test the situation rushed over. They were all in a hurry and sweating profusely. When they saw Ye Qing's standing figure, their hearts trembled and they were all in order.
They all bowed down together: "I have met the Marquis of Han"
Dozens of people knelt down and worshiped in unison, with solemn expressions, as if they were paying homage to the king.
Fu Chengshan sighed inwardly. Just by looking at this, he knew the consequences and impact of the military parade.
Ye Qing didn't say anything about the business, he only waved his hand and said: "Here, show me your seats to the envoys."
"Thank you, the Immortal, for giving me the seat..." Everyone responded and took their seats. Just now, calling the prince a title was used to represent the lord as an envoy to negotiate between forces. Now, addressing the Immortal is a banquet etiquette.
"Serve the wine"
"...Thank you, thank you..."
The messengers held wine glasses in their hands and no one had the intention to drink. They looked at Ye Qing eagerly, wanting to say something, but their thoughts were confused and they couldn't say anything - the incident of the Immortal Ship Cluster today had a great impact on them, and the news had already been sent back.
, before being granted authority by the lords of each family, they could do nothing but apologize...
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t come to support me. If you try to cause harm to other colleagues, who will be responsible for the diplomatic accidents caused?
The scene was depressing for a while.
"Hey, why don't you guys drink?" Ye Qing glanced at the people below with his wine and frowned: "It's my toast that doesn't suit your taste, doesn't it taste good?"
"ah?"
The envoys looked at each other, still remembering the scene of the swarm of fairy ships appearing and bombarding a hill. They instantly thought of the saying that if you don't eat a toast, you will be fined. They quickly grabbed the wine glass and poured themselves wine: "Good wine, good wine."
"Haha, as long as you like it..." Ye Qing drank a glass himself and poured another glass: "Here, have another glass..."
Everyone had a grimace on their faces, but they didn't dare to reveal their thoughts without authorization, and they all followed suit: "Yin Sheng..."
"Okay, everyone..."
So in the snow, a group of people were pretending to drink. In a happy atmosphere, Ye Qing calmly drank more than ten glasses of strong wine to all the messengers. After the wine was warmed, it seemed long and not irritating, but in fact it was very
It was easy to get drunk. His immortals could no longer get drunk with ordinary wine, but these messengers couldn't compare. After a while, all of them showed their faces were red and drunk.
Ye Qing put down his wine glass and put it back on the table. He glanced at everyone's drunken state and said with a smile: "You have all been very concerned about the internal secrets of my Hanhou Mansion recently. Now... are you satisfied?"
After all, they are all from the northern power. Several ministers who drank well immediately became alert and said with a smile: "Why did the immortal say this? Why did he say this..."
"There is absolutely no such thing, there is no such thing" someone said with a loud tongue, vaguely and instinctively, even if he was drunk to death, he would not dare to admit it.
Ye Qing felt a little regretful and sighed: "No one admits it? I thought I could chop down a few today."
Although this sound was soft, it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of the messenger. Many people broke out in cold sweat, and the alcoholism seeped out along with the sweat, and the two bodies trembled...
When the two armies are facing each other, if they don't kill the envoys, they are facing each other, not to mention representing the princes.
But Ye Qing was not only an immortal, but also had an immortal ship. His majesty was unparalleled, and even the King of Wei suppressed him. What was the excuse of killing a few envoys?
Moreover, they are envoys, but in fact they are still official spies wearing vests. Sometimes the embassy even protects spies from their respective forces. Recently, they have been passing on a lot of information. I can't help but feel guilty in front of the immortal, but what is even more guilty is the sudden appearance.
Given the strength of this fleet and the fact that they had not noticed any rumors before, how could their main guild be so angry at their negligence in intelligence work? Thinking about it makes people feel that the future is not bright...
But no matter how bleak the future was, it would be better to let the Marquis of Han find a flaw and cut it off. The envoys all excused themselves because they were drunk and rude. Even Fu Chengshan needed to carefully consider the impact of the exposure of the fleet and hurried back to write a report to the court.
"It's really uncooperative..."
Ye Qing looked miserable, not as proud as he had just used his authority. He actually said on purpose: "That's the difficulty of being an immortal. Every mortal is in awe. No matter what, he doesn't dare to be rude to his face. He even wants to find an excuse to scare the monkeys.
not easy……"
Upon hearing this, all the ministers looked sideways and suppressed their laughter. Ji Caizhu considered it and said: "Anything can be arranged, but it is not easy to arrange death..."
"It seems we can only look at the situation on the side of the Xiangzhou Navy." Ye Qing nodded to himself, tapping the upside-down cup with his fingers: "If there is no blood today, how can we show our determination to use our power? While we are here,
The Xiangzhou Navy is leaderless, and the best thing to do is to inflict a blow so that Prince Qing can leave and cannot come back."
The words were light, and this matter involved the re-opening of the Yingzhou and Xiangbei waterways, and the control of the lower reaches of the Qianjing River. There was no objection on the court, and Han Chen all looked pleased.
It had only been one night, and detailed information about the incident involving the Dongzhou transport ship had been obtained. Everyone knew that it had encountered the Qingjunwang fleet, and that the warning was lost soon after it was issued.
And when Cai Dynasty officially informed that it was a misunderstanding, the self-sinking incident was a misunderstanding. The characterization of "misunderstanding" and "self-sinking" shows that Cai Dynasty was willing to settle the matter and paid a lot of compensation...
But that's all for the ordinary crew. The core crew of five were Han Chinese, and they were destroyed by the Cai Dynasty when they were new. It was an ominous start for the next plan of the country's national system to spread seeds all over the world. Han Chen was holding back his anger, but
It cannot occur due to heaven's prohibition on civil war.
"After all, under the overall situation of heaven strictly prohibiting civil war, no one will really make a big fuss. These are all defined as frictions in the end. It is natural for Cai Chao to take action. It will take a long time to actually start a lawsuit. Who is afraid of whom?" Jicai
Zhu had no feeling about the loss of a few ordinary people. Only the golden light of profit flashed in his eyes, and he wrote down records in the memo book as a reference for future negotiations with Cai Dynasty.
Ye Qing nodded and said there was no problem. The situation this time was different from the summer two and a half years ago. Dongzhou was now the strategic depth, and Yingxiang was the bridgehead deep into Kyushu. He could advance, attack, retreat or defend. His confidence was strong.
When the situation became sufficient, everyone in the Han Hou family united in their opinions and wanted to show their determination not to hesitate to fight in order to gain the right to speak.
In fact, it seemed like a joke just now, but in fact Ye Qing really wanted to find a random reason to behead several envoys in the snow.
Unexpectedly, all the envoys suddenly became dignified and respectful, so Ye Qing had no choice but to put it down and turn to target the imperial fleet.
Now we have to see how the emperor will react
Up to now, Ye Qing's politics has been able to write down the eleven principles of Qing's system in terms of major political affairs, and in terms of political power, he has been able to truly understand the true meaning of calling a deer a horse.
Pointing at the deer and saying it was a horse, this comes from "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin": "Zhao Gao wanted to cause chaos, but was afraid that the officials would not listen, so he set up a test first and presented the deer to the second generation, saying: 'Ma Ye.' The second generation
He laughed and said, "The prime minister made a mistake? He said that a deer is a horse." When asked about the left and right, the left and right either remained silent, or said that the horse obeyed and Zhao Gao was sent."
The metaphor deliberately confuses right and wrong, but this is the golden rule of politics.
Being able to put it into practice is truly the gift of a king.
