Chen Yansong nodded to Zhang Hao, "Master Zhang, you came just in time, let's listen together."
With that said, he directly pushed open the door of Taoist Master Mingxu's room and strode in.
Zhang Hao endured his shock and led Zhao Dahe into the house.
Chen Yansong sat down, picked up the teapot, and poured a full belly of tea before speaking angrily: "Ming Xuzi, something bad happened. The Xiaoyao faction has counterattacked.
The country of Langya, the Kingdom of Southern Tang and other countries were united, and many countries' transformation gods, as well as thousands of warships and thousands of Nascent Souls were dispatched to completely cut off the west side of the Emerald Sea.
We can't break through the defenses at all. The merchant ships from the East can't get through either.
Even three masters of the transformation stage from the Kingdom of Langya and the Kingdom of Southern Tang chased the battleship. If the steel battleship had not been powerful enough, we would have quickly escaped into the Green Sea of Death, and we would not have been able to come back this time."
Zhang Hao's expression changed instantly. The counterattack came, but it was so ruthless.
Liu Dingshan's complexion also changed. Was hope... cut off like this? Facing the blockade of the eastern countries, the country of Qixia is afraid that it is powerless. Because they are fighting on the mainland, and we have to sail 8,000 to 9,000 kilometers to fight.
For once, I was born with no...conditions for victory!
Taoist Priest Mingxu's expression also darkened. The Xiaoyao Sect is trying to cut off the Xuanzhen Sect's external exchanges. Are the two holy places... finally going to break up?
Only Zhao Dahe is still calm. He is the kind of person who is fearless even if he knows nothing. He has not personally felt the past difficulties of the Qixia Kingdom and the changes brought about by the Zhiyuan battleship. But he also knows that the situation is not good.
In silence, Zhao Dahe suddenly said: "Master Zhang, didn't you say before that you wanted to go south to explore the west coast of the Tuotu Continent? In this case, let's explore the West Sea with all our strength. Let them block the inland sea first. Wait until we get through it.
West Coast, compete with them again!"
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and stood up slowly: "I'll go to the beach and have a look."
Hurrying to the beach, Zhang Hao saw the chaotic crowd. There was no cheering anymore, only chaos and noise.
The guards of Dayang Group blocked the port to prevent everyone from flooding in.
The Zhiyuan steel battleship in the port is riddled with scars. The defensive barrier has been damaged in many places, and there are deep sword marks everywhere on the battleship's hull.
If the steel wasn't hard enough, I might not be able to come back this time...
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and slowly approached the battleship. The steel plate of the battleship was only thirty centimeters thick, but some sword marks were more than twenty centimeters!
There were even traces of penetration on the deck. The cannons in front of the giant ship were also scarred. The barrel of one cannon was even penetrated and the barrel was obviously bent. There was even a 300mm gun barrel with a hole penetrated.
The cultivator who caught an arrow is really powerful!
Zhang Hao met Dugu Junjie. Dugu Junjie slowly lowered his head in front of Zhang Hao: "I... did not break through the opponent's defense."
"You have done a great job. Being able to send the ship and crew back under the pursuit of three masters in the transformation stage is the greatest victory! Next time, we will let them taste the consequences! Are there any casualties?
"
"A few were injured, but no one died."
"Is there any leakage on the boat?"
Dugu Junjie suddenly bared his teeth and smiled: "No! The steel battleship is strong enough that even three masters in the transformation stage could not sink it despite being besieged for a long time.
We started to retreat from more than 500 kilometers east of Black Scale Island. They chased us for more than 1,000 kilometers and penetrated more than 500 kilometers into the Green Sea of Death. But in the end, they still failed to stop us. Instead, one of the gods was gathered frontally.
Once I got angry, Uncle Chen chopped off an arm!"
"No one of us died, but we cut off one of the opponent's arms. This is victory!" Zhang Hao patted Dugu Junjie's arm, with a confident smile on his face.
"Victory?" Dugu Junjie was puzzled.
Zhang Hao came to the bow of the ship, stood on a cannon, looked at the sailors and the crew shouted: "Everyone, why don't you cheer, we have won!"
"Victory?" Everyone was stunned. What kind of victory is this?
Zhang Hao had already explained loudly: "This time, they dispatched the forces of multiple countries and three gods in the transformation stage hunted him down.
Whether it was a mental calculation or not, in the end we were not able to sink one of our ships, and all the crew members returned safely.
This is true for a ship. What if we have three ships? What about ten ships?
At that time, we will smash the naval warships of the Eastern countries one by one and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
The atmosphere gradually became livelier, and everyone gradually accepted Zhang Hao's explanation. Yes, this time should indeed be regarded as a victory.
Zhang Hao continued: "Our second battleship will be ready to go to sea soon. The Iron Duke, with a standard displacement of 12,800 tons, is as big as three Zhiyuan!
There is nothing they can do about a Zhiyuan battleship. What if it is the Iron Duke?"
The atmosphere gradually became lively, and smiles began to appear on everyone's faces. Yes, they couldn't do anything about the Zhiyuan battleship. Next time we will drive the Iron Duke to crush them!
Seeing that the atmosphere was rising, Zhang Hao smiled. But unfortunately, next time we will explore the west coast of the Tuotu Continent. We will have to wait a while to counterattack the Langya Kingdom and the Xiaoyao Sect.
After calming down his morale, Zhang Hao turned to look at the seaside. On the seaside, there were countless trading houses waiting for transactions, and they were already in chaos. Many people were clamoring for an explanation from Dayang Group.
Zhang Hao frowned slightly. At this time, these guys were still clamoring for an explanation! But the next moment, Zhang Hao laughed. Well, this is also an opportunity to see who can share weal and woe. Even
We can also take the opportunity to clean up the inside of Dayang Group.
Sometimes, suffering... is really a fortune, as long as you know how to apply it. In this case, many people will be exposed.
With this idea in mind, Zhang Hao allowed the news to spread without explaining it at all.
As for the disappointed trading houses on the shore, waiting for 'explanations', Zhang Hao asked people to register one by one. But... this is no registration at all, this is simply a black list! Any registered trading houses, families, etc., will be
Always be treated differently.
For those who are registered, Dayang Group and the Zhang family will not tell them clearly in the future, and some ordinary products will also be cooperated; but in the future they will never be exposed to Dayang Group's high-end products, nor will they be able to purchase important industrial and commercial items such as patent licensing.
Technology and products.
Of course, Luzhou Bank will also put them on the alert list; deposits are fine, but loans... just wait.
Even the relationships behind these trading houses will be unearthed. What's more, this list... will very likely flow into Liu Xinyu's hands.
The news continued to ferment in the next two days. The exhibition was not over yet, but the booths of Dayang Group and the Zhang family were hurriedly evacuated. This caused a greater agitation. Countless people took the train to the seaside to observe the scarred battleship Zhiyuan.
.
The battleship Zhiyuan seems to have lost its former glory, and the mottled marks tell the story of the brutality and helplessness of the battle. It is like the current Qixia Kingdom parked alone in the port, so lonely and helpless.
Although Zhang Hao is hyping up public opinion, saying that we actually won with one of our warships and one God Transformation Stage, and withstood the attacks of thousands of warships and three God Transformation Stages from multiple countries. But this statement is not
It cannot be accepted by everyone.
In everyone's opinion, failing to complete the transaction and being beaten back is a failure! And now the East has also blocked the ocean, once again blocking the country of Qixia, completely cutting off the future of the country of Qixia. Most people think so
. There are even people spreading such rumors.
Liu Xinyu came, but she just took a look at the beach and took a blacklist from Zhang Hao. Then Liu Xinyu discussed with Zhang Hao, Liu Dingshan, Dayang Group executives and others for a long time before leaving. This discussion
, it is unknown to outsiders, but Hu Yinglan, who is close to Liu Xinyu, saw a smile on Liu Xinyu's lips, and a coldness!
Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hao took the train together and came to the exhibition in Guangling City. They gave a speech again at the exhibition, explained the details, and said that the country of Qixia was already very dangerous and needed everyone to work together. Then they found the princes of various countries,
Expressed the need to work closely together to break through the blockade of the East.
In the small temporary conference room, Yan Xiao, the prince of Yanyun Kingdom, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, we are also shocked that such a thing happened.
I have an idea.
We, the Kingdom of Yanyun, the Kingdom of Zhoushan, and the Kingdom of Danyang are also close to the sea. If we can obtain the shipbuilding technology of the Kingdom of Qixia, we can jointly build a powerful fleet and break through the eastern blockade together!
What does Your Majesty think?"
The princes of the other countries, except for the one from Zhongshan, all nodded in agreement and said that this is a great idea. Everyone agreed, so it must be great!
Only Zhong Linsong, the crown prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, frowned slightly: "Everyone, I also have a suggestion.
If we each build our own shipbuilding bases, etc., it will inevitably waste too much, whether it is time, manpower, or material resources. But now, we just don't have much time.
With the help of the elixirs brought back from Qixia Kingdom, we can last for about half a year. Time is very little.
My suggestion is that all our countries should pool their resources into the Country of Qixia, and the Country of Qixia will make unified arrangements. I believe in the great ambition of the Country of Qixia!"
Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hao didn't speak. They just looked at the princes from other countries quietly, including the prince from the Qingyun Kingdom in the northwest who had been silent.
The Kingdom of Qingyun is a powerful country. It had attacked the Kingdom of Taihua before and the war has not completely ended yet. However, as the Kingdom of Langya cut off the maritime trade route, the Kingdom of Qingyun was also affected.
Liu Xinyu's eyes swept across the faces of the princes, and finally stared at Song Qiming, the prince of Danyang Kingdom, "Song Qiming, what's your opinion?"
Song Qiming suddenly sat up. He looked around, finally gritted his teeth and said somewhat calmly: "I... Your Majesty... I rather agree with Yan Xiao's words."
Liu Xinyu didn't say anything, just nodded slowly. But there was a faint coldness in the corner of her mouth.
Hu Yinglan next to her was angry: "Song Qiming, when the country of Danyang was in the most difficult time, who helped you solve the problem!"
Song Qiming had nothing to say.
But Yan Xiao smiled: "This is... Hu Yinglan. Hey, I told you that you are a guard, so don't talk nonsense. If you don't understand anything, you will only make people laugh.
The situation at that time was that you, the Kingdom of Qixia, felt that you were unambiguous and took over the Kingdom of Danyang to establish your prestige. The Kingdom of Danyang is so weak now, and you, the Kingdom of Qixia, bear the main responsibility.
Why, this is not enough, do you still want to plunder resources from Danyang Zhiguo and make them weak forever?"
"You...you..." Hu Yinglan pointed at Yan Xiao and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Yan Xiao smiled faintly: "Song Qiming is embarrassed to say it, but I helped him. Song Qiming, right?"
Under Yan Xiao's eyes, Song Qiming gradually lowered his head and nodded.
Hu Yinglan really couldn't stand it anymore, and she was about to point at Song Qiming and curse, but Liu Xinyu stopped her. She said softly: "I will consider your suggestions carefully. Let's stop here today. Thank you all.
of frankness.”
Having said that, Liu Xinyu had already stood up and walked out; but after leaving the exhibition hall, Liu Xinyu told Hu Yinglan alone: "Protect the safety of the crown prince of the Kingdom of Zhongshan, I'm afraid someone will do something wrong!"
Hu Yinglan agreed and ordered to go down; then she came to Liu Xinyu and asked: "Your Majesty, why aren't you angry? Then Song Qiming... I really want to kill him! If it weren't for us, he would still be doing it to people in Danyang Country
Where is the dog!
The previous coalition forces and other countries have looted, but we, Qiu, have not committed any crimes!"
Liu Xinyu smiled and shook her head slightly: "This is politics... Zhang Hao, what do you think?"
Zhang Hao finally spoke: "I think Yan Xiao must have secretly contacted the princes of other countries. But the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom... makes me a little confused. I don't know if he did this on purpose or if he was telling the truth.
As for the country of Danyang, I am afraid that everything will be placed on our heads. After all, we are the ones taking the lead.
But the most important thing is that other countries think we are a threat. They are... afraid!"
Liu Xinyu nodded slowly: "The prince of the Kingdom of Zhongshan, I think he is telling the truth. He is obviously angry at the actions of the other princes. And the Kingdom of Zhongshan... is a landlocked country. He needs to make a choice!
The only choice for the country of Zhongshan is us.
In comparison, the countries of Danyang and Zhoushan are weak, while the country of Yanyun is powerful and ambitious; the country of Jinyang is also a landlocked country."
Zhang Hao thought about it and asked: "I don't understand a little. The Kingdom of Jinyang... is also a landlocked country. Are they planning to coerce the Kingdom of Danyang?"
"I think the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Yanyun must still be cooperating. They should isolate us first and let us take care of ourselves. Then they will send troops to devour the Kingdom of Zhoushan and Danyang respectively.
However, the performance of the Kingdom of Zhongshan is probably beyond their expectations. I am afraid that the crown prince of the Kingdom of Zhongshan will be in danger. If he dies here... the consequences will be disastrous!"
Zhang Hao was about to say something, but suddenly a guard sent by Hu Yinglan to protect the crown prince of the Kingdom of Zhongshan returned in a hurry, with a look of panic on his face: "Oh no, the prince of the Kingdom of Zhongshan...is dead! And...the princes of several countries unanimously agreed
We killed them!"
Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu's expressions instantly became stiff!
