Chapter 182 The Royal Family [Please vote for me! 】
It is almost night.
On the rough river, more than ten large-scale ships cut forward through the waves, with flags fluttering on board, all in the style of Master Wang.
On the boat in the center, there is a long and tall young man wearing brocade clothes. He has a band on his forehead, his face is like a crown jade, his lips are red and his teeth are white. He is handsome and noble. .
Perhaps because of the heavy rain for days, the water level in the river rose sharply, and the waves in the distance were like ink. He stood on the bow of the ship and looked around, seeing foreign flags everywhere.
There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Brother." Rourou called from behind.
I saw a girl in a long brocade dress also walking out. This girl had bright eyes and white teeth, a tender and rosy complexion, a bead chain around her forehead, and bright and lively eyebrows. She could be said to be more delicate than a flower.
A brother and sister look to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bit of childishness.
"Maple Blossom?" The young man turned around, a little surprised, "You haven't rested yet?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come out for some air, and I saw you." The girl walked up to him and asked with concern: "Are you still worried about Haiyue Kingdom?"
"Oh." The boy Sighing, "Who can help but worry about the defeat of the army and the destruction of the country, and becoming a prisoner of the subordinates?"
"But my father didn't say that the Emperor of Yin will not do anything to us. They want to Showing the kindness of their previous court to the countries in the East China Sea will make us return to Haiyue Kingdom, or at most we will stay..." As she spoke, her voice suddenly paused.
What the father said today was that the Yin Congress would allow them to go back and become kings, but they should keep the royal hostage behind.
After being silent for a while, the girl suddenly said: "When we get to Longyuan City, I will stay here for you! Anyway, I have longed for the prosperity of the gods."
"Haha, how can it be done?" The young man smiled at her innocence, "I am the one who will inherit the throne in the future, and they will definitely keep me. But you don't have to worry, if I stay in Yin Kingdom, it will be just right for them to see Let’s take a look at the style of our Donghai man. My name, Xiao Hunan, will be spread throughout the streets of Yin State!”
“Brother, no one knows your name!” the girl said with a hint of admiration.
The royal family name of Haiyue King is Xiao. Many people in the Yin Dynasty may not know this. After all, the East China Sea countries are just a group of small countries. Who cares about their national surnames?
Even if Haiyue Kingdom is the largest among them, what difference does it make?
When it comes to the name Xiao Hunan, many people do know it.
No. 19 on the Youlin list, Xiao Hunan.
As one of the geniuses of our time, his name may indeed be more well-known than that of Lord Haiyue.
In recent years, the border of the East China Sea has often been uneasy, which may be related to the Demon Sect's eastward crossing. The inheritance of the Demon Sect, such as the Blood Refining Sect, cannot survive in the land of Kyushu. It can be mixed into a state religion. Under their instigation, some wild Qi refiners and warriors with a little practice would cross the sea and come to the border of Yin Dynasty to plunder.
It may also be related to the war twenty years ago. At that time, the Yin Kingdom and the Yang Kingdom fought in the northwest. The countries along the East China Sea took the opportunity to land in Kyushu and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to carve up the Yin Kingdom. As a result, after the war over there, Tang Wei got out and launched a campaign of annihilation with his backhand, destroying more than ten countries along the way.
The orphan who was killed and cried loudly at that time is now growing into his prime and is hostile to the Yin Dynasty.
Against this background, bandits from the East China Sea countries repeatedly attacked the people in coastal cities, especially Haiyue Kingdom. These bandits were like pirates, they came ashore to plunder, and before Yin's army arrived, they fled into the sea, coming and going like the wind.
The East China Sea has a long coastline and is really difficult to eradicate.
The State of Yin has repeatedly made requests to the State of Haiyue, asking them to govern the bandits in the country, hoping to fundamentally solve the problem. But King Haiyue didn't know whether he was unable to govern or didn't want to govern. After all, he took no action.
After a period of silence, Yin Chao gave a simple and rude response.
Since you cannot govern your subjects well, then I will govern them for you.
Ling Sansi led the army from Dongzhou Military Town, tens of thousands of people, riding on ships and sea beasts, across the sea in a mighty manner and landed in Haiyue Kingdom, promising to suppress the bandits for Haiyue Kingdom.
The arrival of such an army is too heavy-handed to destroy the country. Do you think it is just here to suppress bandits?
No country could allow such a terrifying army to run rampant in its own country, so Haiyue Kingdom blocked the city and tried to block the Yin Dynasty army from outside. During that time, the situation in the war was changing.
At first, the invading army from the enemy country on the west coast attacked Seaside City.
Then the powerful army of the Kyushu Yin Dynasty captured more than a dozen Haiyue Kingdom cities.
Finally, King Haiyue opened the gate of the capital city and invited Ling Sansi, the unparalleled general of the Yin Dynasty, to come in and take command of the bandits.
Ling Sansi easily captured Haiyue Kingdom in a few months, and spent some time to wipe out the Blood Refining Sect and rogue bandits in the country - this was the purpose of their coming. The reason for attacking the city was simply that Haiyue Kingdom did not allow them to pass.
After everything was successfully completed, Ling Sansi presented his credentials and "invited" all members of the Haiyue King's royal family to visit Longyuan City to experience the prosperity of the Yin Dynasty Colorful Clothes Festival. It's called an invitation, but everyone knows that it's clearly a prisoner.
Participating in the Colorful Clothes Festival must mean playing the role of a prisoner of war in a prison car at the rear while the army parades through the streets.
Everyone knows what is actually going on, but who can refuse such a sincere and enthusiastic invitation?
All members of the Haiyue King’s royal family are happy to go.
As the only two children of the monarch, Xiao Hunan and Xiao Fenghua cannot escape this disaster.
Although King Haiyue guessed that his life would not be in danger, at most he would be a prisoner, suffering some humiliation for his face, and he would be able to endure it for a while.
But the changes on the road still make them feel worried.
For example, yesterday the army encountered a flash flood and mud and rocks blocking the road ahead. In order to catch up with the Colorful Clothes Festival, Ling Sansi ordered that he only take 3,000 elite troops and change the road from land to water, traveling day and night.
I feel even less safe when I'm on the water, because it sounds reasonable for a boat to capsize and accidentally kill more than a dozen members of the royal family.
In order to calm everyone's worries, King Haiyue just called his family members into the cabin and held a small meeting, mainly to dispel those doubts.
But the feeling of having life and death in the hands of others is really not a good feeling.
Xiao Hunan looked into the distance and silently clenched his fists.
I secretly vowed in my heart that I would never be humiliated like this again in this life!
Before he could fully express his ambition in his heart, he heard a loud rumble under the water, and the ship suddenly shook!
Boom!
The Yin army on the front and rear buildings took action immediately. Within three breaths, rows of elite soldiers wearing armor and holding crossbows surrounded the edge of the ship. The light rose up and instantly illuminated a large area of water.
A shocking glance.
Under the illuminated water, countless Yaojiao figures were densely packed, seemingly like swimming fish gathered in the pond. But each one of them has a huge figure several feet in size. Hundreds of them gather together in this area, forming a black shadow.
Extremely terrifying!
As they were illuminated by the light, the monsters under the water became restless one after another, and all rushed upward, viciously impacting the ship above with their bodies!
Boom, boom, boom...
A large number of monsters attacked together, and black light suddenly appeared from the bottom of Yin Dynasty's ship. It was the defensive formation reinforced on the ship. Once it was broken through, the entire ship would be destroyed. The ship will shatter immediately!
There were even extremely ferocious monsters that jumped out of the water, spreading their sharp claws and fangs, trying to hunt down the humans on the ship.
Fortunately, the Yin troops on the building ship were also elites from the East China Sea. Although the change happened suddenly, they handled it well. The power of their crossbow arrows will be reduced when they are shot into the water, and they are immediately replaced by heavy black mines.
This thunder is similar to the Zhengyang Thunder. If the talisman is torn off, it will explode within three breaths of water.
A batch of mines fell, and a series of explosions immediately sounded in the river, with water columns rising up to the sky! The splashed water was also mixed with monster limbs and blood!
But this wave of blows did not make the monsters retreat, but instead aroused their ferocity. Under the successive impacts, the first building ship could no longer withstand it and exploded, and the soldiers on the ship fell into the water one after another.
These elite soldiers all have martial arts skills, but if they fall into the water, they will definitely not be able to compare with these water monsters, and they will be killed and injured a lot immediately.
The water demon’s most concentrated attack is the ship in the center that carries the royal family of Haiyue King!
Dozens of Qi Refiners in the army also sit here for protection. They work together to set up a large formation to protect the building and ship. At the same time, they use magic weapons to enter the water and kill the monsters below. But the monsters became more and more fierce as they killed each other, one after another, and the attack was quite fierce.
Seeing the ships in front of them shattered one by one, the mood of everyone in the Haiyue King's royal family began to sink to the bottom.
Xiao Hu Nanchao asked the soldier next to him for a long knife, and then joined the ranks of killing the water monster, fighting very bravely. But even after cutting it down, the number of underwater monsters didn’t decrease at all!
Unlike the people in Kyushu Continent, Haiyue Kingdom knows more about sea monsters.
He turned around and said to the leader of the Qigong warriors in the army, "General, this can't go on like this. There must be someone to guide this group of monsters. They must find the person who commands them, otherwise our building ship will be destroyed sooner or later. It will be broken!"
The Qi Master in the army is a thin man in his forties, also wearing armor, surrounded by a group of soldiers.
Hearing Xiao Hunan's words, his body suddenly stiffened, and then there was a click, his face turned around in a very strange posture, his eyes turned into strange blue vertical pupils, "You are looking for me ”
Good morning.
