The sea gate opens to welcome the flying stream, and all the startled clouds go to rest.
As the gateway to the mainland of the offshore archipelago and the purest commercial island on the sea, Haimen Island is as noisy as ever.
What is the surname of the Zhenhai League and who takes charge of the offshore islands is actually not important to the sea people.
Fish catches, wind and waves, transportation on the islands...the simplest basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most important concerns for people with their eyes open and closed.
"Look! What's flying in the sky?"
"A cloud? An island?"
"It looks like... a giant turtle!"
People poured out of the restaurant in droves, looking up at the giant shadow flying across the sky.
It was indeed a huge turtle, floating in the sky, with a heavy carapace, sharp teeth, and cold eyes.
Its four legs are like oars, moving the air waves.
When it flies a little farther, people's field of vision becomes wider, and they can see many soldiers wearing Yin and Yang armors standing on the turtle's back, with three-foot Dao swords hanging from their waists.
Jingguo’s soldiers!
Even the most famous [DouE] in the world!
How can the army in the central scene reach the sea?
A man suddenly rose into the airspace, stopped in front of the giant turtle, and asked this question without hesitation: "Why do you people like this come to our offshore islands uninvited?"
This man has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a jade belt wrapped around his forehead, and a tall and straight posture. He looks like a heroic general.
Although he is wearing casual clothes, he does not hide his heroic appearance.
Although he was alone to intercept the terrifying giant turtle, he was fighting against five full squadrons of fighting warriors, but he was so high-spirited that he swallowed the clouds and vomited the moon.
Everyone on Haimen Island recognized him and kept silent. Many monks rose up from the sky one after another and stood behind him.
Some of these monks are from Qi and some are from Haimin. They are all led by this person and are willing to follow his tail.
He is none other than Li Longchuan, the son of the city-defeating lord of the Qi Dynasty, the general of the Nine Soldiers Zhufeng Army, and known as "One Arrow Settles the Sea"!
In the "Lao Gaoji Era", he showed his majesty on the battlefield of the Mysterious Realm, which was "not accessible to the gods", leading the army to conquer, creating the myth of being undefeated in twenty-seven battles, and was also known as "
"Dinghai Shenjiang".
Now he is resting in Haimen Island - a famous young general, elegant, gentle, and known for his reputation as a romantic. He was a frequent customer of Hongxiu Zhao in Linzi and a guest of Sanfenxiang Tower in Linzi. This Haimen Island has an open atmosphere and is very prosperous.
The enjoyment is not inferior to that of land. Naturally, he often comes here to rest.
The people of Qi have long regarded the offshore islands as their territory. When they saw Jing's army crossing the border today, he, as a Qi general, had the responsibility to defend the territory, so he naturally took off to intercept them immediately.
Among the Jingjun troops standing on top of the giant turtle, one man stood out from the crowd and raised his voice: "General Li's question is really strange. The seas of this world are not the seas of the Qi people. Why do we, the people of Jing,
Can’t come?」
Compared to Li Longchuan's appearance, this man's facial features are indeed too mediocre. But he looks honest and honest, and has a reliable temperament. And at this moment, compared with Li Longchuan, he is not inferior in terms of momentum.
He is Wang Kun, a monk from Chengtian Mansion in Jingguo. He practiced in Penglai Island earlier and later took charge of Tianxia City on behalf of Li Yi. After Jiang Wang caused trouble in Tianjing City, he could no longer stay in Tianxia City and was treated coldly when he returned home.
After several years, I finally waited for the opportunity to go out again, but it was to lead a team to the offshore islands.
The two of them had also met on the Xingyue battlefield and knew each other.
Li Longchuan was not polite to him. He tied his clothes and said: "General Wang is responsible for his duties, and the fighting army is not a miscellaneous flag. How come you lead the army to the sea and speak in layman's terms? Maritime defense is a matter of course." And when you move your whole body, whether you are fighting or advancing, you must obey the unified control. How can you act at will if you are not just playing like a child?"
One is a famous young general from the Eastern Territory Overlord, and the other is a genius of the First Empire who is eager to prove himself. Neither of them is willing to let the other go.
Wang Kun muttered: "General Li knows the military well, understands his powers and responsibilities, and takes responsibility, which makes someone admire him! But when you said "uninvited", I really can't understand it, and it's even harder to communicate. I'm waiting for you here. Haijiang, I was invited by Diaohailou to assist in the defense of Diaohailou, so I don’t think you need to take care of the Qi people - is General Li going to tell me that all the offshore areas are Qihai, and you can only see Qi people from the east?"
.
"Of course not!" Li Longchuan said very formally: "Our Daqi Empire has always valued peace, advocating mutual help, unity and common progress. We especially respect sects with heroic histories like Diaohailou and are committed to protecting the ancient The inheritance is complete. We also maintain an open attitude towards the affairs of the sea, and welcome all forces to jointly build the sea. After all, the world is one family, and defending the sea is the common cause of mankind."
Wang Kun listened patiently to what he said, and then said: "Then please give in, General Li, and we will rush to help with the defense. I will chat with you next time."
However, Li Longchuan refused to let him go forward. He took a step forward, stepped onto the turtle's back, and stood in front of Wang Kun with a smile on his face: "General Wang is a guest from afar, so he probably isn't familiar with the terrain. Since he is going to fish for the sea in Hailou, In the defense area, Li volunteered to lead the way for you."
"General! This -" The Qi monks who flew out when Li Longchuan came forward were worried about Li Longchuan.
Li Longchuan just waved his hand: "The Dou'e Army is a strong and well-disciplined army, and General Wang Kun is a friend who is enthusiastic about maritime garrison. If I go on a trip with them, will I be plotted? Everyone, please disperse. I can't do it alone. !」
Wang Kun was about to refuse.
Li Longchuan looked at him again, his eyes were as sharp as arrows, and he said with astonishing sharpness: "The situation at sea is complicated. If you are not careful, you may go the wrong way. If General Wang leads the team into other defense areas, it will cause commotion and affect the situation." The overall situation of coastal defense... Do you think I should abide by the law and kill old friends with tears, or should I neglect my duty and tolerate you and ignore you?"
This obvious threat is really unpleasant.
But Wang Kun stared at Li Longchuan for a while, and did not explode. Instead, he smiled: "Then there is the son of the Marquis of Lao Da Qi who destroyed the city and the general of the Nine Soldiers Zhufeng Army, who will guide our Jing Army!"
"That's easy to say!" Li Longchuan said with a smile: "Today Li is taking a break from bathing, but he has only one person to spare, and his military position is not comparable. However, the sunny day is shining brightly, and the blue sea is thousands of miles away. Regardless of whether Jing's army or Qi's army is pointing towards the purple flag... I also Congya!」
Immediately on the back of the giant turtle, among the thousands of troops of Jingguo, a flag was erected and held with one hand.
The flag is spread out in the wind, and the jade face is facing the sun.
That high-spirited attitude is so heroic!
He stood there with the flag of latitude and longitude in his hand, and suddenly became the protagonist of the trip, making Wang Kun his deputy general and Dou'e his army.
Some people are born in the center of people.
"General Li!" Wang Kun looked at him: "Jingjun has his own flag!"
Li Longchuan laughed loudly: "I'm afraid your flag won't work here!"
"Really?" Wang Kun smiled but said, "Wang wants to try it."
Boom!
Li Longchuan just put the latitude and longitude flag in his hand on the back of the turtle, placed it firmly, and said with his finger: "Here, fold it."
A strong wind blew across the sky for a while.
Wang Kun laughed loudly: "General Li is always good at making jokes!"
"Yes." Li Longchuan also laughed: "I like to have fun in my spare time. I have always wanted to change!"
"Thank you."
"polite!"
The giant turtle paddled its four legs and floated away in the air. It also took away people's eager eyes.
Most of the people on Haimen Island who saw the commotion came out to join in the fun. The young generals from Qi Jing and Jing's two countries spoke overtly and covertly in official language, which was actually more interesting than anything else.
In the noisy and empty restaurant, two people did not move.
One looks elegant and middle-aged. The other has ordinary features, but looks young.
"Is this the turtle that took on the city in Youguo?" the elegant man asked.
"Yes." The young-looking man said concisely.
"The upper city has been lost? What should we do with the people in the upper city who have lived on the turtle's back for so many years?" The man with elegant temperament asked very sadly.
"Do you care?" the young-looking man asked.
"." The man with elegant temperament smiled and said: "You have to pretend to be a little bit, after all, this is the hometown of the boss."
The young-faced man glanced at him: "Is it my imagination? You seem to be more relaxed now than before."
When he was not discovered, he was walking on thin ice, always trying to cover himself up. He had to hide his business in Qi State
.
Bowang Hou, the actions of Wumen in Hell must be hidden from King Qin Guang... These two are extremely dangerous and extremely smart characters.
When the truth was discovered by King Guang of Qin, and the newly formed Chamber of Commerce was stripped clean by Prince Bowang, Su She suddenly realized that the matter was over, let's have a drink.
The situation can't get any worse.
"The organization is thriving, colleagues are harmonious and helpful to each other, and the weather is very good today -" Su She smiled: "I can't help but relax."
"Yes, the weather is very nice." The young-looking man looked out the window and replied quietly.
"What do you think the City King and the Disobedient King did?" Su She asked.
"I don't care." The young-looking man said.
Su She looked into his eyes: "Then what do you care about?"
The young-looking man said: "I care about whether I can go back alive. I care about the reward for this operation. I care about what I am about to do."
Su She praised: "There is a reason why King Qin Guang trusts you!"
"You are thinking too much." The young-faced man said quietly, "He doesn't trust anyone."
"I treat you better after all." Su She said, "I even saved you myself!"
"It's just because I know what I want, and I only want what I need. I never cause trouble for him." The young-looking man said, "He uses it easily, so he doesn't mind protecting it."
"You have finally figured out the rules of survival in hell!" Su She said half-truthfully, "I really want to learn from you."
"The King of the Risen Officials once told me the rules of survival in hell where there is no gate." said the young-looking man.
"How?" Su She was very interested.
The young-looking man said: "Don't make King Qin Guang unhappy, and don't make King Bian Cheng unhappy."
Su She praised: "Which words of wisdom!"
He added: "It's a pity that King Bian Cheng is dead."
"I always feel that he is still alive." said the young-looking man.
"Why do you feel this way?" Su She asked.
The young-looking man said: "Because Yan Xiao is still here."
"When a person dies, a bird turns up in the sky. What's more, this bird is still a foreign bird. Husband and wife have to fly separately. Pets and owners do not necessarily live and die together." Su She said: "And the boss is already recruiting people - I heard last time
They say someone has come to apply for the position of King Bian Cheng."
"What's the result?" the young-looking man asked.
"It seems to have been collected by the King of the Rogue Officials." Su She shrugged, "That person is unqualified or something."
"He's so willing to collect now." The young-looking man said, "Is it an excuse? Is he using this to purchase goods?"
"The relationship between King Wu Guan and King Bian Cheng is very complicated, probably because they often act together." Su She commented from her own perspective.
The young-looking man declined to comment.
Su She asked again: "We are recruiting new positions, do you still stick to your idea?"
The young-looking man was very calm: "This is just my personal feeling. He is an unfathomable person. I have never seen his bottom. I don't think he will die that easily."
Su She threw a dice casually, and the dice was spinning on the table. He had an inexplicable smile in his eyes: "Odd numbers means alive, even numbers mean dead - do you want to take a gamble?"
The man with a young face just took out a Yama mask with the word "equality" engraved on it and put it on his face: "I only have this life left, I have nothing to bet with you."
The moment the mask was on, he added: "It's time."
There were two full glasses of wine on the table, but no one touched them from beginning to end.
Su She also put on a mask with the word "Yam Luo" engraved on it, and pressed her fingers casually to place the spinning dice on the table.
But when I saw it facing up, it was a bright red spot like blood.
"One", singular.
…
…
Of course King Bian Cheng still remembered the point above the lower city.
But it was hard for him to remember that in the lower city
.
Thirty-six feelings experienced——
Those less important feelings faded away first.
He pressed his bamboo hat, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, sat in a crowded restaurant, and slowly poured a glass of wine.
When people talk about the Eastern Region, they often talk about the "Nine Kingdoms of the Rising Sun".
Of these nine countries, the one that brought the greatest crisis to Qi was the already destroyed "Ming". That's why the emperor sealed Duke Loulan in the Ming Dynasty and used this grand duke of the Zhu Kingdom to suppress the dissatisfaction of the bright and dark.
It was precisely because of giving Duke Loulan too much power that the hidden dangers were laid for Duke Loulan to raise the flag of rebellion later.
Among the Nine Kingdoms of the Rising Sun, there is really no threat from the beginning to the end, so the country with a stable society now is a "prosperous" country.
When the Nine Kingdoms were divided, everyone was robbing people, food, territory, skills, inheritance, and wealth. It ranged from one county to one city, and as small as a cup and a cup, and they were all bloody.
The founding emperor of the Chang Kingdom was completely caught up in this. As an important minister of the old Yang, he was also a wary target for other forces to cooperate with each other. In order to avoid the ending of "heroically serving the country", he could only symbolically grab some things——
They are all luxurious enjoyments of the Jiuyang royal family. For example, the methods of growing various exotic flowers and plants, various calligraphy and paintings of famous people without extraordinary powers, such as... fine wine.
Of course, these are Changguo's public statements. Whether the founding emperor of Changguo was really coerced back then, he had to express his position symbolically, share the benefits symbolically, and establish the country symbolically... Or he was still weak and acted wisely to protect himself, no one can say Not sure anymore.
However, in the ups and downs of the Eastern Territory's history, Chang State did not have a sense of hegemony.
What people remember is "wine".
Changguo is also known as the "Wine Country", and the wine-making industry is very prosperous. Forty percent of the people in the country are engaged in wine-related occupations. People in Changguo are addicted to alcohol, drinking in the morning and evening, and staying up all night.
Its capital is named "Dukang", which is the name of the god of wine in the mythical age.
As for Jiang Wang, he only knew that there was a famous wine in this country called "Qianqiu", which was Chong Xuanzun's favorite.
He studied behind closed doors in Xiashan Mountain for a while, then came to Changguo alone to explore the inheritance of Jiuyang sealing technique here, and at the same time met Chen Zhitao.
He only poured a glass of wine.
Ten breaths later, a person sat down in front of him.
