In Tiange City, Emperor Yue looked at the letter sent from the Dali Dynasty and fell into confusion.
The name Dali Central Bank felt strange to him, but through the letter he could probably understand that it was an institution similar to a bank.
But he couldn't understand it if he was asked to borrow money from the Dali Central Bank.
As the emperor, he actually wanted to borrow money from a bank, which felt like a joke.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was not unacceptable.
Although a loan doesn't sound good, it's better than begging Dali for material support like a beggar.
Immediately, the Emperor of Yue accepted the loan, wrote some of his confusions and questions in a letter, and sent them back to Dali using the communication circle.
On the opposite side of the communication circle, Qi Chao has been waiting for the Yue Emperor's reply.
The questions raised by Emperor Jian Yue were immediately answered.
In fact, the problem of loans is not difficult to understand. There are no banks in this world, but there are many banks. Those banks also have lending tasks, and there are even loans between many powers. But it is rare to lend money to a dynasty.
After some exchanges, the Qi Dynasty quickly reached a preliminary intention to borrow money from the Yue Emperor. However, just when the Qi Dynasty was about to ask the Yue Emperor what he planned to use as collateral, the Yue Emperor told him that the spirit stones had been exhausted and asked Qi to
Go to Tiange City for an interview.
The spirit stones have been exhausted!
Qi Chao looked at the last letter and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Is the Dai Viet Dynasty so poor? Doesn't it even have the spiritual stones needed to use the communication circle?
From Dali to Qinghuan Sea Area, using the communication circle to send a message only consumes one spiritual stone.
Although spiritual stones are precious, any force with some strength should have a reserve of hundreds or thousands of them.
But just now Qi Chao and Yue Huang only communicated five or six times, and Yue Huang said that he had no spiritual stones!
Qi Chao was speechless.
The poverty situation in Dai Viet was worse than he expected.
You must know that in Dali, communication arrays have been fully popularized in all ministries of the court. Needless to say, in the military, even each ministry is equipped with three to five units, and the corresponding spiritual stones are also equipped. One communication array will be equipped with ten
A spiritual stone.
Due to certain business needs, the Central Bank is equipped with eight communication arrays.
The spiritual stones owned by a great dynasty were actually not as good as their central bank, which made Qi Dynasty feel a little incredible.
But then again, if the Dai Viet Dynasty had enough spiritual stones, there would be no need to ask Dali for material support or loans.
Qi Chao thought for a while and thought it would be better to go to Tiange City in person.
It's just that it's not easy for him to go to Tiange City. After all, the central bank's business has not yet expanded to the waters south of the Jingtai Sea. If he wants to go to Tiange City, he may need the help of the Navy.
In addition, since he is going to Tiange City, he cannot go alone. He must bring enough goods.
Because it is eight thousand miles from Dali to Tiange City, and it will take more than half a month to arrive.
It takes two months to go back and forth, prepare money and goods, and then transport them there.
Can the Dai Viet Dynasty last another two months?
Qi Chao found it a little difficult.
So he planned to prepare some goods that were urgently needed by the Dai Viet Dynasty and bring them there.
As for the rest, let’s wait until we get to Tiange City.
After leaving the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Qi Chao wrote his thoughts into a memorial and submitted it to Qin Wei.
The next day, Qin Wei agreed with his idea and asked the Military Aircraft Department to help him contact the Navy for escort.
In this way, Qi Dynasty spent four days preparing the cargo of hundreds of ships and sailed towards the Qinghuan Sea under the escort of the navy.
The goods he prepared mainly consisted of food, military equipment, armor, elixirs, a large amount of silver and a small amount of spiritual stones.
The Dai Viet Dynasty was short of everything, even food.
If the Dai Viet Dynasty had money, there would be no need to transport grain from Dali. They could buy it from the sea area around Qinghuan Sea.
But the Dai Viet Dynasty had no money, so they lacked even the most basic food.
The Qi Dynasty also considered that buying grain would take time, so they brought some grain and grass to provide emergency response to the Dai Viet Dynasty first.
…
Just when Dali was providing loan support to the Dayue Dynasty, Heiyuntai of the Giant Spirit Dynasty sent a large number of elites to prepare to go to the Yuluo Sea area to investigate the detailed information of the Sky Alliance.
After losing Shengling City, the Giant Spirit Dynasty finally realized the importance of intelligence.
Without intelligence support, they would be blind and unable to deal with the attack from the Sky Alliance.
In order to avoid continuing to fall into passivity, the Giant Spirit Emperor could only remain unchanged in response to the ever-changing situation, stopped all actions in the Qinghuan Sea, and allowed the Yonghua City army to shift from attack to defense.
And his thoughts played right into Wu Sheng's hands.
At present, what Wu Sheng wants is not to have a battle with the Giant Spirit Dynasty, but to continue to delay time.
Because he knew very well that the current Dai Viet Dynasty needed time, Dali also needed time, and the entire Sky Alliance needed time to prepare.
Therefore, based on the principle that if the enemy does not move, I will not move, Wu Sheng directly settled in Shengling City.
While reinforcing the defense fortifications in Shengling City, they coordinated with the navy outside to prepare to transport reinforcements.
Compared with Wu Sheng's comfort, Zhao Gao, who was still in the giant spirit capital, was caught in a busy schedule.
Heiyuntai wanted to send elites to the Yuluo Sea area to collect intelligence, so Zhao Gao naturally wanted to stop it.
Now the biggest advantage of the Sky Alliance when facing the Giant Spirit Dynasty is the intelligence advantage. If the Sky Alliance goes to war with the Giant Spirit Dynasty in the future, the intelligence advantage will become even more important.
Therefore, Zhao Gao must not let the elites of Heiyuntai go to Yuluo Sea.
In the giant spirit Kyoto, Luo Wang, Heisha and Dark Night are no match for Heiyuntai.
But outside the Giant Spirit Kyoto, the further away from the Giant Spirit Kyoto, the weaker the Black Cloud Terrace becomes.
…
Wanhuang 2408, the twentieth day of the first lunar month.
Ji Zhan, the commander of Heiyuntai, personally led hundreds of elites to Jingling City in the north of the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
Jingling City is just a relatively small city in the northern frontier of the Giant Spirit Dynasty. Although it is a port city, it is not considered prosperous.
Generally speaking, except for merchant ships and fishing boats near Jingle City, few outsiders will go to sea from Jingle City.
The reason why Ji Zhan chose to go to sea from Jingling City was because it was inconspicuous.
There was no way, he knew very well that many people were staring at Kyoto and their Heiyuntai.
Luowang, Dark Night, and Black Sand, these three organizations have been fighting against their Heiyuntai for more than a day or two, and they have developed a deep understanding of each other.
Today's Ji Zhan no longer despises Luo Wen as he did in the past, and he even regards Luo Wen as the life and death enemy of Heiyuntai.
This time, in order to avoid the eyes of the net, he not only chose Jinling City as the place to go to sea, but also spread out the Black Cloud Terrace, disguised himself, and then set off from Kyoto.
Ji Zhan frowned as he rode horseback on the official road in the wilderness.
Just now, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
This uneasy feeling was reminding him that their whereabouts might have been exposed.
"stop!"
Ji Zhan suddenly grabbed the reins and shouted loudly.
With a crash, more than a hundred cavalrymen stopped quickly, and everyone looked at Ji Zhan.
Ji Zhan looked forward.
Surrounded by rolling hills, although there were no steep peaks, the low hills blocked his view.
No abnormality was found, and Ji Zhan did not feel at ease. Instead, the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
"drive!"
He drove his horse to the top of the nearby hill and looked around, but still didn't find anything unusual.
"Am I being paranoid?"
Ji Zhan frowned.
As a strong person at the third level of the Divine Realm, he has strong perception ability. I dare not say that he can sense any slightest movement around him, but if there are human hands hidden around him, he should be able to sense it even if it is ten miles away.
But now he didn't feel any breath, nor did he find anything abnormal.
After pondering for a while, he turned his horse and walked down the hill, continuing to gallop in the direction of Jingling City.
And just as they were leaving, a few inconspicuous birds followed them.
The golden-feathered bird is one of Luowang's best tracking methods.
Up to now, Luowen has been cultivating birds internally for more than ten years. From the initial gray-feathered birds to the current golden-feathered birds, it has been updated four times.
Nowadays, golden-feathered birds still have many uses inside the snare. Short-distance messaging, tracking, reconnaissance, etc. are all areas where golden-feathered birds are used.
The golden-feathered bird is only the size of a fist. It flies extremely fast and has great endurance. It can fly thousands of miles in a day.
Golden Feather does not mean that all the feathers on its body are golden. The golden feathers are too conspicuous and are not suitable for use in snares.
It is called the golden-feathered bird because it has a handful of golden feathers on its head. In addition, the rest of the feathers are gray.
Ji Zhan led more than a hundred cavalry and moved further and further away, but the golden-feathered bird followed them at a close distance.
Ji Zhan didn't notice the existence of the golden-feathered bird, so he naturally didn't know that on a hill thirty miles away, three figures were waiting quietly.
Fei Jian and the other three stood on the hill, looking at the endless hills.
Suddenly, a golden-feathered bird flew over and landed on the shoulder of the young man behind Feijian.
The young man whistled crisply and communicated with the golden-feathered bird. Sometimes the golden-feathered bird chirped crisply, and sometimes it flapped its wings and jumped.
"It's certain that their destination is Jingling City!"
said the young man.
Hearing this, Fei Jian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "As expected!"
"Sir, should we continue to follow you?" the young man asked.
Fei Jian thought for a while and said: "Change the tracking method. Don't let the birds gather together and scatter them on the official road to Jingling City."
Although the birds are very inconspicuous, if Ji Zhan is cautious, he may still find something abnormal about the birds.
Previously, they had let the birds chase after them to prevent them from losing track, but now that their destination was determined, there was no need to chase them so closely.
"Also, report this matter to the commander!" Fei Jian ordered another person.
The remaining person was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face. He was wearing a black suit and carrying a wooden box on his back.
After receiving Fei Jian's instructions, he immediately took off the wooden box on his back.
Opening the wooden box, a black metal disc was revealed inside, with array patterns of varying depths carved on the disc.
That's right, this is the communication array!
I saw him taking out the spirit stones and putting them on the formation disk, and then kneaded a few magic formulas, and a light flashed on the formation disk.
Fei Jian glanced at him and saw that he had completed the communication, then turned and walked down the hill.
"Let's go to Jingling City!"
…
Night fell, shrouding the quiet Jingling City.
At this time, Jingling City is still as peaceful and peaceful as before.
But underneath this peace and tranquility there is an undercurrent.
In the city, in a courtyard, Ji Zhan stood under the eaves, frowning and looking up at the bright moon in the night sky.
The cool moonlight falls, making the quiet courtyard particularly beautiful.
"Someone is following me!"
Ji Zhan said in a low voice.
The uneasiness in his heart never disappeared, and there was even a feeling of being spied on.
But until now, he hasn't found anything unusual.
This helpless feeling made him extremely upset.
He took a deep breath, then turned around and entered the room.
There was no light in the dark room, but suddenly there seemed to be a hazy brilliance flashing.
The brilliance passed in a flash, and soon Ji Zhan walked out of the room.
Suddenly, majestic power burst out from him.
"Who is it?"
He shouted coldly and looked towards the cornice ahead.
At some point, a figure appeared on the eaves.
The moonlight is cool and cold, and the figure is upright.
The gentle sea breeze comes slowly, making the grass and trees in the courtyard rustle.
"Can't you guess?"
Some hoarse sounds sounded.
Ji Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his energy shot out.
Listening to this familiar voice, he immediately guessed the identity of the person coming.
"It's you, Fu Laogou!"
Fu Laogou, Fu Yanlin.
Dai Viet Dynasty, leader of Black Sa.
It was Fu Yanlin who led Heisha to destroy Heiyuntai's headquarters, Heiyun Island.
Now enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
"Haha~~"
"Ji Zhan, long time no see!"
Fu Yanlin laughed loudly.
Ji Zhan narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
"It's you who's been staring at me!"
He had some doubts in his heart. With Fu Yanlin's strength, if he wanted to keep an eye on him secretly, there was absolutely no way he wouldn't be able to detect it at all.
"No!" Fu Yanlin said simply.
"Who is that?" Ji Zhan glanced around with his peripheral vision.
Fu Yanlin shook his head slightly, "I don't know either!"
He really didn't know, because the protagonist of this operation was Luo Sheng, and his mission was just to capture Ji Zhan.
Ji Zhan sneered, "If you don't know, just don't know. It doesn't matter now anyway."
These words made Fu Yanlin stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
The sneer on Ji Zhan's face became even stronger, "Maybe I should welcome you!"
Fu Yanlin's expression moved slightly, and his expression suddenly became serious.
At this moment, majestic auras suddenly emerged, and the auras mixed together, forming a strong gust of wind, which dispersed the slowly coming sea breeze.
"You had expected this a long time ago. This is a trap you set?"
"That's right!"
Ji Zhan chuckled.
"I have been waiting for you from the beginning, but I am very curious, why did the snare not appear? Why did you only appear?"
Fu Yanlin looked at the dozen or so figures appearing around him, and they all turned out to be powerful men in the Silent Light Realm.
Not just that!
He actually sensed several secret auras hidden around him.
This is really a trap.
Ji Zhan had already guessed that they would come and laid this trap in advance.
Facing so many masters, it was impossible for him to escape.
But what about the snare?
Doesn't Luo Wang know that there are so many powerful people hidden here?
Fu Yanlin pinned his hopes on Luo Wen, but he was still a little worried deep down in his heart because he knew that Luo Wen was not very powerful in the Giant Spirit Dynasty. (End of Chapter)
