263,263 Westbound(1/2)
It was a small-scale naval battle. Although the battle lasted only three days, the follow-up work still took a long time.
During this period, Zhao Zhen sent people to fetch Lord Bao and the Grand Master from Lin'an Mansion, and also spent a few days on Xiankong Island.
Because Master Wu Sha’s letter clearly stated that Lin Yehuo should take “everyone” there, Zhao Zhen decided that everyone should go west together.
It’s not that Master Wusha’s words were very powerful, the emperor obeyed his advice. Of course Zhao Zhen respected this holy monk from the Western Regions, but more importantly, it was because he wanted everyone to go to Black Wind City together again.
Who is Zhao Zhen the biggest? Do whatever you want, even Nangong has given up struggling, and others are too lazy to care.
Zhao Zhen continued to play, but Zhao Pu was very busy.
The Ninth Prince wanted to find out which force from the Western Regions this group of naval forces sent by the Western Regions came from.
After He Yihang interrogated them, all the captured prisoners of war said that they were Xixia navy soldiers.
Zhao Pu sounded outrageous. Will Xixia cause trouble if there is a chance? It will definitely happen, but Xixia is blocked in the middle of the west. It is not close to the sea, so where can we cultivate so much water with excellent water properties?
The army is going?
Moreover, Zhao Pu planned a route for them. If they really came from Xixia, they would need to pass through Tubo, pass through Dali, and then enter the sea from Li Dynasty, or go directly from Tianzhu through Tubo... This would take a lot of effort.
Moreover, each of these prisoners claimed to be from Xixia, but when I tried them, none of them could speak Xixia.
Zhao Pu and He Yihang both felt that there was someone inside, and they might want to take the opportunity to stir up their relationship with Xixia and muddy the waters.
After thinking about it, the two of them decided that it was indeed time to go back to Black Wind City. After a period of peace, the countries in the Western Regions should have started to feel itchy. What is the so-called three days without building a house or building a roof?
The navy has made arrangements and the fleet is ready.
For the sake of Concubine Pang's health, everyone chose to take the water route.
After having fun on the island, everyone in Kaifeng said goodbye to their brother Siwei from Xingkong Island, and headed west together to Black Wind City.
…
There was still plenty of time before the Dharma Conference, and everyone was not in a hurry. They walked and stopped along the way and visited many places.
All the way along the Yangtze River to the Jialing River and then to the Weishui River, it almost crosses the entire hinterland of the Central Plains.
Zhao Zhen was more beautiful than anyone else on this journey. I had a very real experience of the great rivers and mountains under his rule. Of course, I also found many problems. Walking in person is better than reading the excerpts. Zhao Zhen still has many things to do along the way.
Less enlightened.
Before Zhan Zhao left the Demon Palace and entered Kaifeng, he traveled for a period of time. Bai Yutang also used to be homeless. Compared with Zhan Zhao who traveled around the world on two legs, Fifth Master always traveled by boat.
This trip to the west reminded the two of them of many managers they had when they were young, and recalled the feeling when they first entered the world.
Of course, walking around alone is not as fun as walking around with friends.
The four children of Liangchenmeijing are much luckier. At the same age, most children are still playing in the mud at home, but they have traveled all over the world.
And the person I have walked through and seen the most here is Xiao Liangzi.
I think back then, Xiao Liangzi packed up his bags and ran away from home to join Zhao Pu. As a result, he met Lin Yehuo by accident, and then followed Lin Yehuo from the Western Regions to Kaifeng, then from Kaifeng to Jiangnan, and now from Jiangnan back to the Western Regions. Mr. Wolf King Bao
The castle owner was young but experienced a lot, and while he was traveling around the world, his parents had already given birth to two younger sisters.
This time Xiao Liangzi is going back to Wolf King Castle. He hasn't been home for a long time, and he feels a little homesick.
…
After a long journey, everyone once again arrived outside Black Wind City.
Seeing the majestic city gate of Black Wind City again, everyone was filled with emotion - last time in Black Wind City, they brought back the Demon King, and now they are bringing the Demon King back with them.
On the tower of Black Wind City, Ouyang Shaozheng saw the mighty carriages and horses from afar. Fire Qilin turned around and waved to the soldiers who had been waiting in the city for a long time.
After three cannons were fired, the three gates of Black Wind City opened wide.
This time, a special reception ceremony was held. In the past, Zhao Zhen's visit to Black Wind City was kept secret, but this time it was made clear that the emperor was traveling westward to express his condolences to the soldiers.
All the soldiers and horses in Black Wind City lined up, and Zhao Pu and He Yihang accompanied Zhao Zhen on the tower of the military parade.
Millions of soldiers saluted together and shouted long live the mountain. Zhao Zhen was so happy that he couldn't stand it - they are all my great son of the Song Dynasty!
Speaking of which, Zhao Zhen did not come empty-handed this time. Didn’t there be a lot of gold on the previous sacrificial ship? Zhao Zhen returned all the gold that the craftsmen had snatched from Linghai Kingdom, but this batch of gold did not belong to Linghai.
It is not a country, but enemy spies were brought here to cause trouble in the southeast coastal defense.
Zhao Zhen brought all this batch of gold over and distributed it all to the soldiers of Black Wind City, each with his own share!
The emperor personally came to hand out the small coins, and the soldiers were naturally happy. In addition, Zhao Pu and the others were also back. It was rare that the commander-in-chief and the four generals were all there. The military camp was as happy as the Chinese New Year.
Everyone settled in the handsome manor in Black Wind City, and Concubine Pang was also placed here.
Because she was cared for by Gongsun along the way, Concubine Pang was in excellent health.
Coincidentally, Yinxue was also pregnant, and she and Concubine Pang were having the pregnancy together. Xiao Xiangxiang would touch her mother's belly every day, and then touch Yinxue's belly to feel the growth of the babies.
I have to say that Xiao Wu is much more reliable than Zhao Zhen.
Although Zhao Zhen accompanied Concubine Pang every day, he also often went out to hang out. Xiaowu stayed with Yinxue twelve hours a day, bringing all the food in his mouth and watching Yinxue finish it before eating.
Zhan Zhao and the others also discovered that Xiao Wu actually had the physique of a good husband with twenty-four filial piety.
…
There is still some time before the Buddhist Dharma Assembly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone is going to "visit the door" together. The first stop is Heifeng Forest next to Heifeng City.
Lin Yehuo almost put down his salute and changed his clothes before rushing out of Zuoying and heading straight to Black Wind Forest to see the little wolves he had been thinking about so much.
Others naturally followed.
Seile probably also knew that Zou Liang and the others were back, so he led a pack of wolves to the gate of Black Wind City to greet them.
Lin Yehuo rushed over and hugged Seile.
Sailor was helpless, the mighty Wolf King was shaken by Lin Yehuo.
The little wolf has grown up a lot, and already has the potential to be a wolf king. Especially when he is hugged and rubbed by Lin Yehuo, his expression is exactly the same as Sailor's - a little bit of petting in the dislike, but full of disgust in the affection.
Zou Liang came over and bumped noses with Sailor and exchanged some words. Zou Liang nodded and patted Sailer on the back.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang curiously asked Zou Liang what Sailer had said. Zou Liang said that Sailer was preparing to hand over the position of Sailer to his son and that he would retire soon.
After Lin Yehuo finished attacking Sailor, it was Xiao Sizi's turn to attack.
The fourth son shouted "Lele!"
Just a swoop.
Sailer's eyes were full of love when he looked at the little fourth son. The little wolf also came up and licked the little fourth son, with a little concern in his eyes - I have grown up, why are you still so small?
Xiao Liangzi introduced several wolves he was familiar with in the wolf pack to Shen Yuanchen and Tang Luomei.
Shen Yuanchen and Tang Luomei were both exposed to the wolves in the northwest for the first time. They also watched the wolves hunting for a while and thought they were so cool!
Everyone designed a visiting route, first going to Wolf King Castle, then to Devil's City, then to Bottle Bell City, Blazing City, Ghost Sea and Kuangshi City. They visited like this, then went to Baihua Valley, then back to Black Wind City, and finally to Holy City.
Dianshan attended the Dharma conference.
Zhao Pu listened to a group of people planning the route and shook his head helplessly - they came together to travel to the Western Regions.
Zhao Zhen was the first to jump up and say yes, but Nangong poured a basin of cold water down his head, "I heard that the emperor is in Black Wind City, and envoys from various countries have said they want to come to see him."
Zhao Zhen stretched out his head and pointed at Zhao Pu, which meant - let them see Zhao Pu!
Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Zhen speechlessly, while Master Bao and the Grand Master shook their heads - How can that be done?!
The emperor took his head back and touched his chin, and suddenly thought about it. His ninth uncle said in a high-profile manner that he came to condolences the soldiers and horses. The main purpose was to keep an eye on him and prevent him from running around in the entire Western Region?
Nangong and Zhao Pu silently exchanged a look - the plan worked!
Zhao Zhen flattened his mouth and sulked, saying that if he was unhappy or unhappy, I was going to cause trouble!
After bargaining in the end, Zhao Zhen could only go to the nearby Wolf King's Castle and Devil's City, and then wait for the day of the Buddhist Dharma Conference to decide based on the situation. The rest of the time, he would stay at the Commander's Mansion in Black Wind City to accompany Concubine Pang during the pregnancy.
Zhao Zhen reluctantly accepted it, but he felt that he would be at a disadvantage if he could not go to Baihua Valley, but it was not without discussion. He accepted it first and then thought of other solutions!
In fact, everyone also knows that Zhao Zhen will not be obedient, but it is good if it can save him from running away!
After making arrangements, everyone first went to Black Wind Forest and accompanied Xiao Liangzi to Wolf King Castle.
When Xiao Tonghai received the news that his son was coming back, he quickly told his wife Liao Jie. The couple almost forgot that they had a son, but he was back!
When he heard that Xiao Liang not only came back by himself, but also brought the Emperor of the Song Dynasty with him, the Wolf King inexplicably felt that he had lost to his son.
The couple came to the door with someone to greet them.
Everyone else had been to Wolf King Castle before, so they weren't too surprised.
Zhao Zhen pointed to the huge wolf head on the top of the mountain and was startled, and said to Nangong - so handsome, so handsome! I want to get one at the entrance of the palace!
Nangong nodded with a smile on his face, but complained in his stomach - or else he would end up with a pig's head?
When they arrived at the gate of Wolf King Castle, everyone dismounted.
Xiao Liangzi stood in front of his parents and gave them a big salute.
Both the Wolf King and his wife were stunned... Although the child didn't go home, he could still see him in Black Wind City. Why did his son suddenly grow up? In his memory, he was still a disobedient, mischievous and naughty child.
The little devil star who couldn't catch it suddenly became more stable, taller, and even his facial features grew longer.
Liao Jie's eyes turned red, she hugged her son and started crying. She secretly didn't even see her son grow up!
