Hearing the call of the short man, in an instant, four or five short men appeared at the door of the house, crowded together, staring closely at the Prime Minister.
These looks made Wu Xiang feel that he was like fish on the chopping board, about to be slaughtered.
He immediately understood that these people had evil intentions!
A man standing at the door of the house shouted something strange outside, and a moment later, a man in linen clothes came over.
Seeing this person, Wu Xiang's eyes shrank slightly!
This man is tall and stands out compared to many short men.
Just like elders and children.
Several short men standing at the door of the house glanced at the visitor, with fear, sarcasm, and a hint of disdain in their eyes.
But they all gave way and allowed this person to walk into the room.
The short man who entered the house first also got up, walked out quickly, and closed the weird sliding door.
Suddenly, the only ones left in the room were the Prime Minister and the tall man.
Walking closer, the tall man sat down cross-legged and murmured, "I sit there every day and my legs are tired from sitting, but it's still more comfortable to sit cross-legged!"
Hearing this person's words, Prime Minister Wu suddenly frowned and understood. No wonder this person was tall and from Cangyuan Continent. It was just that he didn't know which dynasty he was a citizen of.
As if he had guessed what the Prime Minister was thinking, the tall man said directly, "My name is Qiu Yuanji, and he is a man blessed by God. Five years ago, he was persecuted by God's powerful ministers and had no choice but to flee. He wanted to escape to Liukang, but he was brought here."
He became a counselor."
The Prime Minister was quite surprised. Although he was on guard, now that he met a person of the same clan, he naturally had to ask clearly, so he asked, "Where is this?"
His voice was quite hoarse, and when he spoke, he seemed weak and weak.
Qiu Yuanji replied loudly, "This is an island, about 1,400 miles away from Cangyuan Continent. Although it is not far, the sea is deep and the water is fast. It is difficult for ships from Cangyuan Continent to reach here, and the local
Ships have only recently been developed."
When Prime Minister Wu heard this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes. No wonder there is no record of this island in Cangyuan Continent.
"There is a Heavenly King here. Although he is the supreme leader, he has no real power. The military and political power is controlled by the generals who conquer the barbarians, and they are superior to the Heavenly King." Qiu Yuanji continued.
"On the local level, there are many great lords. These great lords have exclusive territories, just like small countries, and have sole control of military and taxation powers. Sometimes, these great lords will be controlled by generals who conquer barbarians."
After hearing what Qiu Yuanji said, Wu Xiang frowned slightly. He was not interested in this and asked in a deep voice, "What is the purpose of saving me?"
Qiu Yuanji did not pause, and then replied, "Even in Tianyou, where there is little information, I have heard of your name. You are the first counselor to come to see you, and you are resourceful. He repeatedly advised the late emperor but refused to listen, so he strategized, laid ambushes thousands of miles away, and responded
The retreating army avoided Linzhan's destruction."
"Your Excellency sent some spies to Zhanjing to steal secrets, and happened to see you falling off the cliff," Qiu Yuanji said slowly, "You are so cunning, how could you die in vain, so I rescued you and brought you back to the territory." p>
"And the purpose is also very simple, because my lord needs your allegiance!"
The Prime Minister Wu snorted coldly, "Do you think I would betray my dynasty like you and come to this barbarian land and bow my head and surrender?"
Qiu Yuanji smiled and didn't care at all. Instead, he said, "What about the barbarian land? Your Excellency has great plans and aspirations. He said that after the whole territory is unified, he will march west and seize the Cangyuan Continent!" Prime Minister Wu sneered and said nothing.
Seemingly understanding what the Prime Minister was thinking, Qiu Yuanji said, "I know, you must be thinking that it is impossible to conquer the Cangyuan Continent with the help of those short men outside the house."
"Indeed, in this place, men are only four feet tall, and they are extremely short. Some are even half as tall as me. The reason for this is because there are many mountains here, which are not suitable for farming, and it is also difficult to develop livestock, and people cannot eat.
They are full but cannot eat well, so they are extremely short. This is the reason why they have ambitions for Cangyuan Continent."
Prime Minister Wu said coldly, "It's just an excuse. The people of the island country have ignorant ambitions!"
"Whether it's ignorance or whatever, they asked me to communicate with you because they wanted me to ask you whether you are willing to surrender to the adults?" Qiu Yuanji asked.
"I want to come back to Linzhan!" Prime Minister Wu's voice was extremely firm.
Qiu Yuanji laughed and said, "When you come here, don't even think about going back. Just be prepared to die here of old age!"
"Even now, it is extremely difficult to cross the sea and go to Cangyuan Continent. At least four of the ten ships will sink on the way."
"And you are being watched closely by the adults, and it is a complete fantasy to want to go back!"
After hearing what Qiu Yuanji said, Prime Minister Wu's heart suddenly sank.
"Do you want to go back because you are worried about Lin Zhan?" Qiu Yuanji asked.
Prime Minister Wu suddenly narrowed his eyes. How could he not be worried about the situation before him?
He really wants to know whether King Mu's servant rebelled, whether His Majesty put out the rebellion, and whether Da Li took advantage of the situation.
"Tell me everything you know about Linzhan." Prime Minister Wu stared at Qiu Yuanji closely.
Qiu Yuanji laughed, "If you surrender, I will tell you, otherwise, you will be imprisoned here for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to know the situation of Linzhan until you die!"
The Prime Minister of Wu shrank suddenly in his heart!
Many thoughts flashed through my mind, and I soon understood that the best strategy was to be conceited first and then compromise.
"I am willing...to be loyal to your lord..." Prime Minister Wu's voice was extremely heavy and contained a deep sense of helplessness.
He really wants to know what happened to Linzhan.
Qiu Yuanji laughed heartily, and then said, "In that case, I will tell you. Zhanjing has fallen, the entire Zhaolie Mansion has rebelled, and Linzhan has been destroyed! Just stay here and serve me!" p>
Prime Minister Wu was suddenly shocked, his eyes wide open, and his heart was full of horror.
Although he had made preparations for King Mu's uprising to succeed, he never expected that it would be like this!
The fall of Zhanjing was like the collapse of the sky for the entire dynasty!
He hurriedly asked, "What about Your Majesty?"
Zhanjing fell, did your Majesty escape?
As long as she escapes to the military town, she may not be unable to compete with King Mu, and there is a great possibility of recovering the whole dynasty.
Qiu Yuanji smiled and said, "Empress Linzhan has been burned to ashes by King Mu!"
Prime Minister Wu was startled suddenly, a deep sadness appeared in his eyes, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
Tears overflowed from the corners of my eyes...
Seeing how sad the military minister was, Qiu Yuanji was filled with surprise.
In his opinion, a person like Wu Xiang is already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, so he should want to go further.
But I didn't expect that the other party would be so loyal.
It is indeed a blessing for you to have such a minister!
After resting for a long time, Wu Xiang opened his eyes. The sadness in the child dissipated a little, but there was still a trace of sadness that could not be dissipated.
His voice was extremely hoarse and he asked extremely slowly, "What happens next?"
Qiu Yuanji chuckled and said, "Want to know? You have to perform meritorious service. After you perform meritorious service for the Lord, I will tell you what happens next!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wu was filled with sadness.
Not only was he sad for what happened to Linzhan and the death of the empress, but he was also sad for himself, who had once been a dignified minister, but fell into the wilderness and was hijacked by others... It's sad and lamentable!
……
Linzhan Dynasty, Zhanjing.
In the side hall of the palace, Qin Yi stood with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself.
Just now, he had sent someone to leave and informed Chen Yu of his order.
When he led his troops back to Beijing, in order to be on guard against intruders from Dali, Qin Yi had asked Gan Zijin and Xuan Lingyao to return to Dingyue Military Town with some troops and horses, and together with Jing Xun, guard the southwest border. p>
Chen Yu and most of the soldiers and horses were brought back to Zhanjing by Qin Yi.
The latter stayed in Zhanjing, and together with the previous 50,000 troops, there were about 150,000, enough to protect the safety of Zhanjing.
As for Chen Yu, the reason why Qin Yi asked him to stay in Zhanjing was to allow the other party to train the new soldiers according to the methods he had used in the past.
His military training methods are more advanced than those of this era and are more suitable for promotion.
As for himself, he was busy with government affairs and had no time to train troops, so he left this matter to others.
In addition to Chen Yu, Qin Yi also brought back Mao Lifu and some personal guards. These personal guards need to be on guard when he travels.
Now, several days have passed since he returned to Beijing. During these days, he was busy with government affairs every day, while Si Qimei was busy with new crops. The two rarely met each other. The so-called first-come-first-serve monthly plan could only be temporary.
Stranded.
In addition to government affairs, Qin Yi also learned about the situations of other dynasties through Luo Zhi's secret spies.
Dajing, like Dali, fell into civil strife, but God Blessed suffered a serious famine, and the land was full of hungry people, which was quite miserable.
In this regard, Qin Yi was powerless. As the rebellion was about to begin, the country's national strength was weakened, food was lost, and it was temporarily unable to help.
Only after the production of new crops increases will we be able to help each other.
In addition to these three dynasties, Qin Yi is most concerned about Liukang.
Now there are 360,000 soldiers and horses in Linzhan, trapped in Liukang, unable to return to the court.
It stands to reason that troops should be sent out to capture Liu Kang in one fell swoop and release these troops.
However, from Luo Zhi's intelligence, Qin Yi learned that Liukang had gathered together, and several major city guards were fighting against Prince Gong and Prince Su. The two sides were quite cautious and did not fight many times.
This situation shows that now is not the time to send troops to conquer Liu Kang.
Because Liukang is not chaotic enough.
The best time to send troops is to wait until the entire Liukang is filled with killings and its strength is greatly reduced.
When the troops are sent out at that time, they will surely be able to attack the city and destroy it.
In addition, Linzhan also needs to recuperate, replenish food and grass, train soldiers, etc.
Therefore, you must first accumulate strength, and when the time comes, kill with one blow!
During these days of temporary rest, Qin Yi focused his energy on improving his strength.
Now that a few days had passed, he was quite curious about how the construction of the armament camp was going. He was about to ask someone to ask, but he saw a eunuch quickly walked in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Minister of War wants to see you."
When Qin Yi heard this, he secretly sighed that he came at the right time, and nodded and said, "Let him come in."
After a while, the Minister of War hurriedly entered with a look of urgency on his face.
Qin Yi was quite surprised to see the other party looking like this. Could there be something wrong?
"Your Majesty!" After the Minister of War paid his respects, he said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the armaments camp warehouse where the blueprints are stored was stolen last night!"
