They are all thoughtful, and naturally they know that the Red Sea Demon King's visit this time is definitely not just to see his daughter as he said...
Now that Zuo Chongming has arrived, their mission has been completed. It is time to leave here and let the Red Sea Demon King and others talk about business.
Watching them leave, the Scarlet Sea Demon King couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, neither this princess nor Bian Yunqing is a fuel-efficient lamp."
Zuo Chongming didn't even raise his eyebrows: "Neither is your daughter."
The Scarlet Sea Demon King frowned: "Forget it, the female leader is not in control, but I warn you, don't let her down, otherwise you will know the consequences..."
"Your threats are feeble."
Zuo Chongming twitched the corners of his lips and poured a cup of tea nonchalantly: "But don't worry, I won't do anything bad for a woman."
For this sentence, the Red Sea Demon King truly believed it.
Since ancient times, if you want to achieve great things, your closest relatives can be killed.
Looking back on Zuo Chongming's rise, it is not difficult to find that he is this kind of person and will never be blinded by his children's affair.
After a moment of silence, the Scarlet Sea Demon King asked: "Is Emperor Wu dying soon?"
Zuo Chongming paused in his drinking of tea, then raised his head in surprise: "You are quite well-informed."
The Scarlet Sea Demon King said with a smug look on his face: "Don't forget that you created the mercenary guild. Now there are mercenaries everywhere in the southern wilderness."
Players can send messages so quickly. As long as you post something at eight o'clock in the morning in Beijing, it will spread all over the country in the blink of an eye.
Zuo Chongming raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about the purpose of this question: "Are you worried about Princess Halloween?"
'That's just one aspect.'
The Scarlet Sea Demon King nodded: "There is also a problem with Cong Yun Mansion. Recently, some forces have been secretly contacting me. Let me ask you what you plan to do."
"What should I do? Cold salad."
Zuo Chongming sneered: "Anyone who comes into contact with you in private can be killed directly. So what if they know about it? They don't dare to break into southern Xinjiang to take revenge."
After getting an accurate answer, the Red Sea Demon King was relieved.
After a pause, he returned to the topic: "I had a feeling some time ago, and it seemed that someone was deducing me... If nothing else happens, it should be Princess Halloween."
"Southern Xinjiang is very big."
Zuo Chongming smiled and reassured: "You have the ancient mantra on your body. Even if they have the escape book, they can't deduce your exact location."
"Based on this premise, if Princess Wan Sheng wants to find you, she must find someone to help. It happens that I have been to the Yunmeng Treasure Ship..."
If the Scarlet Sea Demon King has some enlightenment: "You mean, they will look for you?"
Zuo Chongming shrugged and said calmly: "There is a high probability that you will find me, and a small probability that you will find the Liansheng Sect. In fact, it is the same. You can't avoid it anyway."
The Scarlet Sea Demon King nodded and asked, "What happens after that? Do you want to help me block them? I don't think you would be so kind."
Zuo Chongming chuckled and said without saying anything: "I just want to borrow your business to negotiate a big deal with the Dragon Clan. After that, it has nothing to do with you."
The Scarlet Sea Demon King looked suspicious and couldn't help but ask: "Business? Sell me?"
"You're not that valuable."
Zuo Chongming showed contempt: "The business I want to negotiate with them cannot be handled by Princess Wan Sheng alone. The Dragon Clan will definitely not let her do whatever she wants."
Even though his attitude made the Red Sea Demon King very unhappy, on the other hand, it showed that he really had no intention of betraying him.
This made the Scarlet Sea Demon King breathe a sigh of relief.
"Business?"
The Demon King narrowed his eyes: "Is your business related to the fox clan? I just heard two days ago that you caught a sky fox."
"Roughly the same."
Zuo Chongming smiled ambiguously and said nothing more.
The Scarlet Sea Demon King stopped asking questions and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, in a few days, people will come from the capital, right?"
The Scarlet Sea Demon King curled his lips: "From a personal point of view, I hope you die quickly, no, it is best to be tortured until you are completely naked before you die."
"But who makes my daughter inseparable from you? There is no other way. Take out your armor and I will repair it for you..."
The armor he was talking about was the dragon scale armor Zuo Chongming bought from the Yunmeng Treasure Ship.
After the fight with Xu Yunshan, this thing was scrapped, but because the forging material was very good, Zuo Chongming didn't throw it away.
Zuo Chongming held out the spiritual ring in surprise: "Can you cultivate it?"
The Scarlet Sea Demon King shook his head: "No, but I have a true dragon remnant soul in my hand. If I integrate it, it can greatly improve its level."
"I know you are very strong, but as the old saying goes, it's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. This set of armor can at least prevent you from being attacked by sneak attacks."
"It's time to work."
Zuo Chongming thought this was very reasonable.
There are so many strange people in the world. How can anyone walk by the river without getting his shoes wet?
——
——
A few days later.
Boom!!
Accompanied by thunderous roars, several black spots floated out of the sky.
Looking from a distance, he saw a 150-foot-long airship with a dark black background and gold patterns, guarded by several small airships, quickly sailing into the distance.
Judging from the emblems printed on both sides of the flying boat, this is obviously the imperial fleet.
An inner guard cautiously advised: "Princess, it's windy outside, you'd better go back and rest."
"It doesn't matter."
Nan Feiyu looked down at the undulating mountains and shook his head to reject the other party's kindness.
Just over two months ago, she suddenly received a letter from the sect.
The above content is very simple, describing in detail a series of suppressive actions taken by Zuo Chongming after the Litian Sword Sect moved to Xiyun Mansion.
Nan Feiyu was very angry at that time because Zuo Zhongming knew about the relationship between Litian Sword Sect and her. Even if he didn't look at the monk's face, he still had to look at the Buddha's face, right?
Just when she was about to write to Zuo Chongming to ask for details, her mother, Concubine Wu, advised her not to do this.
From Zuo Chongming's point of view, he was the champion of the imperial court and the envoy of the town. It was his duty to suppress the sectarian family.
On the contrary, it is Nan Feiyu who is confused and does not distinguish between right and wrong.
Once this letter was sent, Zuo Chongming not only refused to stop, but cut off all relations with her from now on.
Because of Nan Yuyan's incident, Concubine Wu and Nan Feiyu were having a hard time in the capital. If they continue to hate Zuo Chongming, it would only make them even more miserable.
It was not that Nan Feiyu refused to listen to the advice, she was indeed convinced at that time.
But the second letter from the sect not long ago completely broke her defenses.
The letter mentioned that Zuo Chongming not only wanted to suppress, but also wanted to wipe out the sectarian family in one go.
In addition, news about Nan Yuyan's attack came.
Nan Feiyu didn't think much and took the flying boat to Xiyun Mansion.
The people of the inner guard initially disagreed and reported the matter to Emperor Wu, trying to get Emperor Wu to issue an order to stop Nan Feiyu's actions.
But Emperor Wu considered Nan Yuyan's relationship with her and that she might have good results in the past, so he allowed the inner guards to take her with them...
Nan Feiyu suddenly asked: "How long will it take?"
The inner guard bowed and replied: "If everything goes well, we can reach Xiyun Mansion in the afternoon and the city in the evening."
After receiving the imperial edict, they organized and set out that day.
The fleet never stopped along the way and kept moving forward at full speed, fearing that something might change if it was too late.
Even so, it still took more than ten days to reach the vicinity of Xiyun Mansion.
"Alas~!"
Nan Feiyu whispered: "I hope Yuyan is okay."
The maid beside her said softly: "The princess is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Good luck has its own destiny. Princess Feiyang doesn't need to worry too much."
"On the other hand, the champion, Mr. Hou Zuo, really acted carelessly this time and almost caused a disaster. I'm sure the Holy One will not forgive him lightly."
“Today’s result is yesterday’s cause.”
Nan Feiyu smiled bitterly and said: "He has made too many enemies, the remnants of the Liansheng Sect, barbarians, monsters in southern Xinjiang, aristocratic sects, many civil and military..."
"There are so many enemies. If they make a wrong step or make a slight mistake, they will end up in a catastrophic fate. This time is his retribution."
The maid couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Princess, can the Champion...can survive this time?"
"Dead."
Nan Feiyu shook his head: "If he refuses to enter the capital, he is rebellious. These people can justifiably take action, and Buddhism will not dare to interfere."
"If he is imprisoned in the capital, no one will let him go, no matter whether it is his father, emperor, civil servants or military officials. How can a sheep in a tiger's mouth have any chance of survival?"
The maid opened her mouth, her face full of misery: "Ah this..."
Nan Feiyu glanced at her and suddenly asked: "Do you admire him very much?"
The maid was stunned for a moment and shook her head quickly: "No, it's not...this maid is guilty."
"What's the crime?"
Nan Feiyu burst into laughter: "You are not the only one who admires him. Looking at Zuo Chongming's rise to the present, who doesn't admire him? Who doesn't admire him?"
Unconsciously, the scene of her being rescued appeared in her mind, and she sighed sadly: "This princess also admires him, and even more admires him."
Everything Zuo Chongming did was unprecedented, if not unprecedented.
He is so strong, not just in strength and understanding, but in all aspects, much stronger than his peers.
The name Zuo Chongming is destined to leave a mark in history.
But precisely because of this, he also incurred a fatal disaster.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
If the edge is too strong, it will break easily if it is too strong.
The wisdom of the ancients, do not deceive me!
…
The brief exchange ended, and the deck fell into silence again.
Unknowingly, the bright sun on the horizon slid down, and brilliant red clouds rose in the distance.
The fleet passed by like a river dragon, setting off turbulent air currents and forcibly cutting a path through the clouds.
Until the evening, the skyline in the distance suddenly appeared with a wave of fluctuations, and if you look carefully, it is indeed the outline of the city.
"That is……"
Nan Feiyu's beautiful eyes widened, looking into the distance hesitantly and shocked.
An internal guard walked out of the cabin and said softly: "Reporting to the princess, that is Xiyun Mansion City."
Nan Feiyu took a breath and lost his voice in disbelief: "How could it be possible? How could Fucheng be so big?"
Judging from the scale and outline, the specifications of this prefectural city are comparable to those of a county city, no, even more generous than a state city. Is this too exaggerated?
The inner guard was silent for a few moments and then explained in a deep voice: "I heard that Mr. Zuo created a mercenary guild, which attracted many idle warriors from all over the world."
"Also, because there are very few demons in the Xiyun Mansion, many people are willing to move their families here just to live a peaceful life."
"We're here."
The other inner guard narrowed his eyes and subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
