"What?" Chen Shen was shocked: "How could the King of Daxia suddenly ask my grandfather to send troops to Huainan?"
Chen Xiaohai was a little confused by the other party's exclamation, but he still explained patiently: "It is said that six days ago, Huainan was suddenly invaded by the Taikou Kingdom army. I don't know what means they used. During the sea march,
Very well hidden.”
"It wasn't until the ship penetrated 230 miles into our Daxia waters that the Coast Guard discovered its whereabouts."
"The Huainan King's deployment was caught off guard. In just three hours, the South China Sea's coastal defenses were broken."
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaohai had a sigh on his face, as if he was very contemptuous of the Huainan Army's "uncontrollable attack", and said: "Ten hours after this, the six cities and seventeen towns on the seaside in Huainan were also captured by the Taikou.
After they established a foothold along the coast, they dispatched millions of powerful soldiers and thousands of powerful generals to attack Tianjiang City."
"During this period, the Huainan Palace was also assassinated by Taikoo masters. Fortunately, the assassins did not succeed. Xia Chunqiu was only slightly injured."
"This time the Taikoo army invaded, with many generals and assassins accompanying them. The King of Huainan was unable to cope with it, so he used the sound transmission communication array to report the military situation to the King of Daxia and beg for reinforcements."
After hearing what his second uncle said, Chen Shen was extremely worried.
I think it only took him seven days in total to return to the imperial capital from Huainan.
According to what the second uncle Chen Xiaohai said, doesn't it mean that Xia Chunqiu and the Taikou only used one day to stage a catastrophe in southern Xia?
The boy was sure that they were putting on a show: it took him nearly five days in total to leave Huainan and cross the Huaijiang River.
In the past five days, he had not seen any fighting in Huainan, and he had never heard of anyone discussing a war on the border of the South China Sea.
But on the other hand, Xia Chunqiu did not hesitate to use the sound transmission array to send a message: "The leader of the Taikou Kingdom has sent out all his brave generals and has millions of soldiers, asking for quick reinforcements."
Chen Shen is no stranger to the sound communication array.
Among the books he had memorized, there was an introduction to this formation: using the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Stone to achieve the effect of transmitting sound thousands of miles away.
To put it simply, the effectiveness of this formation is equivalent to the telephone calls Chen Shen saw in his previous life.
However, the "call charges" for the audio communication array are extremely expensive.
According to the straight-line distance from Tianjiang City to Daxia Imperial Capital, just a hundred breaths of "talk" time would consume more than 500 kilograms of low-grade Five Elements Spiritual Stones!
Chen Shen looted the Huainan Prince's treasury, and then left Huolin as a big problem to Xia Chunqiu to give him a headache. Come to think of it, Xia Chunqiu had long been crazy and poor, how could he be willing to use five hundred kilograms of low-grade spiritual stones to make a "long-distance call"?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. From Chen Shen's point of view, Xia Chunqiu's move was clearly an opportunity to lure General Chen over!
The two of them are colluding, and I don’t know what kind of dirty tricks they are holding back!
"Fuck! I'm going to chase the old man right now!" Chen Shen turned around and left.
"Come back!"
Chen Xiaohai hurriedly stopped him: "The old man has been on the battlefield for so many years, what else do you have to worry about? Besides, this time, he used your high-grade five-star spiritual stone, and his profound energy cultivation reached the level of a six-star mysterious king.
territory."
"As long as you don't go against the leader of the Tai Kou Kingdom, no one can hurt him."
Chen Xiaohai didn't know about Xia Chunqiu's collusion with Tai Kou, so he looked very relaxed: "You should take care of yourself more. You know why uncle, I have asked Shun Lao and Ling'er to take turns guarding outside the house these days, calling
Don’t you want to go back yet?”
"Uncle, I'm afraid that Chen Jinyang will do something bad to you while your grandfather is away."
"No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that his eldest son Chenxiong died at your hands. I'm afraid that old guy will jump over the wall and secretly plot against you! You don't know that since your grandfather was ordered to go on an expedition, that old guy...
"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Before the second uncle could finish speaking, Chen Shen waved his hand to interrupt: "Chen Jinyang is no longer afraid! What I'm worried about now is grandpa's safety!"
"The old bastard King Huainan has formed an alliance with the Tai Kou!"
"Wha, what?" Chen Xiaohai was stunned, and Mr. Shun also widened his eyes.
"Where did you get the news? Is it reliable?"
Chen Shen said truthfully: "I didn't hear it, I saw it myself."
"I said before that I wanted to practice in the mysterious beast forests around the imperial capital, but in fact, I went to the Huainan Prince's Mansion as the master of Tianqi Pavilion."
"Ah? You..."
"I'll let you and me go. I'll explain this to you slowly later. The most urgent thing is to chase grandpa back as soon as possible! God knows what trap Xia Chunqiu has set for him?"
After that, the young man was about to rush out of the door again, not wanting to be stopped by Chen Xiaohai again: "I guess the old man has arrived in Huainan now, how can you chase him?"
"If the King of Huainan really intends to do something evil, it won't help if you go now. If not, it will drag down the commander-in-chief."
Chen Shen raised his eyebrows and asked: "Isn't today the third day of the military campaign? The imperial capital is eighteen thousand miles away from Huainan. How can it be reached in just three days?"
"Xia Chunqiu used the sound transmission array to speak. The military situation was urgent, so the King of Great Xia asked his father to order three thousand elite soldiers and ride ahead on a hundred gryphon beasts." Chen Xiaohai frowned.
As soon as these words came out, the young man understood immediately.
The broad back of the gryphon beast can carry more than a hundred people. With three thousand soldiers and horses, it is absolutely no problem to carry thirty people on one head.
Moreover, this can be considered a light and simple journey. With the speed of the griffin beast and flying straight in the air, three days is enough to cover a distance of 18,000 miles.
At this point, Mr. Chen may have already entered the Tianjiang City Prince's Mansion...
"Although grandpa has been promoted to a six-star Xuanwang, and has three thousand soldiers of the Chen family at his side, he still can't stop Xia Chunqiu from calculating his calculations intentionally and unintentionally!" The young man was still worried.
Chen Xiaohai was much calmer and patted his nephew on the shoulder: "Don't worry, your grandpa has been on the battlefield for a long time and is not as unbearable as you think."
"Besides, before my father sent his army to Huainan, I gave him hundreds of high-grade mysterious talismans and mysterious pills, including the Thousand Mile Earth Escape Talisman and the Turtle Breath Pill. Even if there are variables, he still has his own abilities.
The power of protection.”
"On the contrary, you are in a more embarrassing situation."
"Once your grandfather leaves, it's like being lured out of the mountain."
Speaking of this, the second uncle's tone became solemn in vain: "My father was ordered to go on an expedition, which is like being lured out of the mountain. I couldn't find you before I left, so I had no choice but to let Chen Jinyang temporarily handle the affairs of the clan."
"Even if you, the young master, appear in the Chen family at this moment, you cannot legitimately take charge of everything. On the contrary, you will be in trouble."
"So, during this period of time, you should stay in Bao Pavilion as the master of Tianqi Pavilion. If you return to the family... you know, my recovery from leg disease cannot be exposed for the time being, and it is inconvenient to come forward. Just in case that old guy
If you have murderous intentions, you are dangerous."
When Chen Shen heard this, he nodded noncommittally, but he was thinking about another thing...
