At this moment, the fields all over the Dragon Soul Continent are full of busy figures.
However, in this small mountain village at the foot of Cihang Yinzong, there was not a single person to be found. The surrounding fields were covered with weeds, and patches of houses in the village had collapsed.
The billowing smoke and the scattered corpses on the ground told people that a fierce battle had just occurred here.
The monks in the temple are cleaning the battlefield.
The blood flowing on the street dripped down the cracks in the stones into the drainage channel on one side, and collected into the pond, dyeing the pond red.
"Amitabha!"
Zen Master Kumu looked at the mess in front of him, couldn't help but clasped his hands together and sighed softly.
At this moment, Deadwood's heart was burning with anger, and his intestines were turning green with regret.[
If Liu Xia was killed that day, how could something like this happen?
However, it's too late to say anything now.
"Abbott, in less than two months, we have been attacked hundreds of times. The number of disciples in the temple has been killed and injured, and the disciples traveling outside have often encountered ambushes. This year, the opportunity to select disciples has been missed. Now the temple
People inside are panicked, and many young disciples have secretly fled away. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it."
Zen Master Tianhui said with a melancholy look.
When Dead Tree heard this, he remained silent.
He had experienced numerous storms and waves in his life, but this time, he really felt a trace of fear.
"The wall is coming to everyone, abbot, you have to pay attention to it quickly."
Tian Ting Zen Master said.
"Abbott, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible?"
At this moment, Zen Master Tianhui said softly.
"Tell me, is there anything else you can't say at this moment?"
Kumu sighed softly and said.
"Abbott, Liu Xia is currently in the limelight. I heard that the suppression of pirates in the south went very smoothly and the people's support is in favor. Why don't we temporarily avoid the limelight and release the witch. In this way, the conflict between us and Liu Xia can be eased. Then
Let him come forward to resolve this crisis for us. In this way, both of us will be at peace."
Zen Master Tianhui smiled.
"Amitabha, although Mr. Liu Xia only had a few contacts with him, that man will definitely retaliate. That day when he imprisoned the witch, he issued a letter of war. I don't think he will give up."[
Kumu shook his head and said.
"What the abbot said is true, but one moment and another. The day of sealing the demon is coming. The imperial court will definitely put all its energy on the island. I think the emperor doesn't want to see Liu Xia and us lose each other.
How about we take this opportunity to make peace with him. If it were before, Liu Xia might not agree. However, now he has to consider the overall situation, so he might give in."
Zen Master Tianhui explained.
Deadwood groaned and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he shook his head and said: "Although this method sounds feasible, Liu Xia cannot distinguish between good and evil. If after this fierce battle, the emperor suddenly dies and he takes charge of the world, I don't think it may be a good thing."
"Abbott, he is young and energetic, and it is possible for him to be temporarily deceived by the witch. We can let the witch go, but we have not said we will not kill the witch."
Zen Master Tianhui smiled coldly.
"You mean..."
"The demon girl is sealed in the Demon Suppressing Tower at the moment and is very weak. We can take this opportunity to give her the Demon Yuan Dan. This poison acts very slowly. After the battle on Crazy Demon Island is over, the poison will have its medicinal properties.
Beginning to attack. Witch Club
She is getting weaker day by day. Even if we don't do anything by then, she may not be able to survive. By doing this, we can kill the witch without offending Liu Xia. Liu Xia is not deceived by the witch, so I think she can still do something. In one fell swoop.
Sande, I think it’s feasible.”
Zen Master Tianhui advised.
"This is a good idea. Hey, I just hate that I, the Cihang Yin Sect, bowed my head to a yellow-haired boy."
Kumu frowned and said.
"Amitabha, abbot, please calm down. I will abbot you in the future!"
Tianhui smiled lightly.
——————————————————————
The sea was calm and the waves were calm, and the moon was bright and there were few stars in the sky.
The Liu Xia fleet located in the East China Sea was very busy.
The main battleships were arranged in a circle on the sea to block the wind and waves for the small battleships in the center.
At this moment, countless naval officers and soldiers jumped into the sea, and the cables and tripods of some ships creaked.
At this time, a sailor surfaced and shouted excitedly: "Found it, found it, let go of the cable quickly."
Suddenly, the cables on the main battleship began to fall.
Groups of naval forces dived towards that position, and within a moment, the two main battleships were pulling the cables and sailing in opposite directions.
In a moment, waves were set off in the middle of the sea, and then, a broken battleship slowly emerged from the water.
Immediately, the small warships moved closer, and several sailors boarded the warship. They immediately took out two-meter-square pitch black boxes from the bottom of the warship.
Immediately, after loading onto the ship, they began to move towards the Dragon Soul.
Liu Xia, Song Tianyou, and Zhang Haotian stood in overtime and looked at the scene in front of them, silent.
In a moment, a wooden box was moved in front of Liu Xia.
Song Tianyou squatted down and opened the box with all his strength. Immediately, a box of gold was slowly exposed to everyone.
"Nangong Tianwen is indeed a talent. I'm afraid he is the only one who can think of hiding the family's property here."
Zhang Haotian said.
"Is it very particular here?"
Song Tianyou asked curiously.
"Haha, Brother Song is not in the south, so he is a little unfamiliar with this place. People sailing near this sea area call it the Good Luck Sea. Because the waves here are stable all year round, it is one of the main waterways. Nangong Tianwen will tell you where the shipwreck is.
Choosing here can guarantee that their wealth will not be disturbed by any weather. Eternal peace lies here. You see these wooden boxes are made of fine sea trees. They are well sealed and the gold is packed inside.
Nothing will change for hundreds of years."
Zhang Haotian explained.
"I see."
Song Tianyou suddenly realized the truth.
"Your Highness, the sailors who just salvaged said that there are more than thirty sunken ships below."
Song Tianyou said.
"More than thirty ships?"
Liu Xia couldn't help but be stunned.
He only saw seven or eight sunken ships that day. Why were there so many sunken ships down there?
"These sunken ships must have been sunk by the Nangong family several times. The warship just salvaged seems to have sunk to the bottom of the sea for more than ten years."
Zhang Haotian smiled.
"Unexpectedly, there is an unexpected surprise. Yes, we will do our best to salvage it. Part of this money will be divided among your major families, and the rest will be used to rebuild the southeastern border guard camp and pension the disabled soldiers. The rest will be put into the national treasury.
.”
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Immediately, Song Tianyou and Zhang Haotian both clasped their fists and said.
"The Dongsha Islands and the Xisha Islands are isolated offshore, providing a haven for pirates to breed. When the war in the Xisha Islands is over, I plan to divide these two islands into your two territories. You will send troops to garrison and relocate some people.
It can be regarded as opening up the territory for the Tianji Dynasty."
Liu Xia smiled.
Song Tianyou and Zhang Haotian were suddenly shocked.
This is a great joy.
Although they got two ports when they divided the Nangong family last time, if they can use these two islands as transit points, it won't take long for those two islands to become prosperous places.
"Also, although I have never been to Dongji Island, those pirates are pitiful people. They are forced to do this kind of murder and arson due to their livelihood. I plan that because your two ports are isolated overseas, you can
Trade with them. In this way, it will be beneficial to both sides
. Dongji Island is rich in high-quality weapons, which are cheap and high-quality. Moreover, rare materials are produced in large quantities. We can give them food and cloth. In this way, we can benefit from everything and everyone can get what they need. They live a prosperous life, so we can live here.
You will be safe. The burden on you two is not light."
Liu Xia smiled.
"We are willing to share your worries for Your Highness."
Immediately, Song Tianyou and Zhang Haotian hurriedly clasped their fists and said.
The salvage was not completed until noon on the third day, and almost all the warships were fully loaded.
Considering that we had to go to Qianling Island, we had to return to unload the cargo.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, the fleet set off again and quickly headed towards Qianling Island.
By the time we arrived at Qianling Island, another three days had passed.
Standing on the side of the ship, Liu Xia saw the lush Qianling Island in the distance and couldn't help but smile: "This is the hiding place of the Nangong family."
“It’s really a good place.”
Zhang Haotian smiled.
"Brother Zhang, please explain it to me. I think this island is just ordinary, nothing different?"
Song Tianyou asked.
"You see, this island is on the south side of Dragon Soul Continent. Everyone knows that to the south of Dragon Soul Continent is the sea. Going further down is the glacier. Therefore, basically no ships will sail here. In addition,
It looks calm here, but it is in the middle of a fierce ocean current. Have you noticed that our warship is bumping very hard at this moment?"
"Yes some."
"So, people are interested in this place. If it weren't for His Highness's wisdom and prowess, how would we have found this place? Besides, the sea is vast. If we don't know the specific location, we may not have such good luck even if we look south."
Zhang Haotian smiled.
"No wonder, if you look at most of the buildings on the island, they are in ruins. It seems that the Nangong family has been building here for many years and has a long history. No wonder the Nangong family has been able to rise again after experiencing several disasters. This hiding place is really impressive.
It’s an eye-opener.”
Song Tianyou smiled.
"Get ready for action."
Liu Xia said calmly.
Immediately, the fleet began to move at full speed. It was less than fifteen miles away from Qianling Island. In a moment, the fleet arrived at the outskirts of Qianling Island.
The entire Qianling Island was completely silent at the moment, and no one could be seen.
There was not a single ship on the pier, which made Liu Xia frown.
"Your Highness, we came here with such a big fanfare, they should have noticed us long ago. Why is there no movement?"
Song Tianyou said in confusion.
"Your Highness, look there."
Song Tianyou stretched out his hand and found that there seemed to be a faint smoke rising from the center of the island.
"Suppress it with fire first, and then prepare to land. This is the last fortress of the Nangong family, and they will not give up easily. Be careful of fraud."
