Zhuque County.

"It's such a relic of the Holy Duke. How many people died because of it. It's such a pity."

Zi Yan sighed.

She did feel it was a pity, especially since many of the people who died were her subordinates.

In order to track down the Xiao family.

There were more than a dozen subordinates who died inexplicably before and after them. All of them were experts, selected from hundreds of miles away, but they died silently.

"What a god of war, I think this is the source of disaster."

Luo Fengtang reached out and reached for the fire fold on the side of the table.

But when he stretched out his palm halfway, he stopped and took it back again.

"Don't destroy it. It's better to keep this kind of thing in your hands."

The Dao of the Sword Demon.

"I originally wanted to destroy it, but after all, there was still a trace of greed in my heart that made me unable to bear to destroy the map. Furthermore, whether the map is a scourge depends on whose hands it is."

Luo Fengtang sighed slightly.

"Aren't you going to show it to His Majesty?" Zi Yan reminded.

"Your Majesty is not a master. He has stopped practicing martial arts a long time ago. There is no need to give him such martial arts items. However, I will write a secret report and submit it to him."

Luo Fengtang said.

Zi Yan didn't say anything.

But only Luo Fengtang could do this. If anyone else had obtained such an important relic of the Holy Duke and not presented it to the emperor, it would inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion.

However, after thinking about it, if the emperor and his ministers are really jealous, then even if they hand over the relics of the Holy Duke, they will still be jealous.

The emperor would suspect that his ministers were hiding something. As long as he had this idea, there would be no upper limit to his suspicion.

"Put this matter aside for now. I have received your Majesty's secret order to go south to Yizhou to prepare for the battle."

Luo Fengtang carefully put away the relics of the Holy Duke, and then he said slowly.

"The situation in Yizhou is complicated, and there are many people who may be connected with the Yang family in Bozhou."

Zi Yan frowned.

"Putting out those traitors is also part of the title."

Luo Fengtang raised his hand and said.

"We will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I have already contacted the person who will take care of us. Tomorrow Han Feiyu's boat will take us down the river, all the way to Yizhou Waitianmenguan Pier."

Purple smoke.

"Uncle Luo, I won't go for the time being. I want to stay in the underground palace for a while." Mo Anbai felt a little embarrassed.

Originally she should have followed Luo Fengtang, but now she can't leave. She is indeed fascinated by the bronze puppets in the underground palace.

She has been thinking about a question recently.

How to reduce the cost of bronze puppets so that they can be manufactured in large quantities so that they can be used on key battlefields.

An army composed of bronze puppets can definitely play a decisive role at critical moments.

"Yes, but you can only stay for half a month. After half a month, you come to Yizhou."

Luo Fengtang said.

"good."

Mo Anbai nodded in agreement.

She didn't ask for any reason, and she didn't need to ask, because Luo Fengtang had his own considerations. She just had to obey and there was no need to question.

…

Entering the midwinter season, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day.

At the pier, a large ship docked on the shore.

This boat is still an old-fashioned Fu boat.

It is as tall as a building, with a pointed head, a wide tail, and upturned heads.

This kind of Fuchuan is a sea-going ship with strong ability to withstand sea waves, but now it is used to sail on inland rivers.

Naturally, the inland river is very wide and can carry the lucky boat. This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, this lucky boat has also been transformed.

Dressed in blue, Luo Fengtang boarded the deck of the lucky ship in the dusk.

What greeted him was a dashing woman, wearing a red dress and a strong robe, with no air of wind and frost between her brows.

A fish-shaped jade pendant hangs from her belt.

"Hasn't Wulang returned to the capital recently?"

Luo Fengtang stood on the deck with his hands behind his back and glanced at the mountains in the distance.

On the outskirts of Zhuque County, a large river runs through the mountains, cutting off the continuous mountains.

"No, on the other side of the Tongtian River, Qin Hanqing, the traitor to the Han Dynasty, seems to have made some changes, and he can't leave."

Han Feiyu stretched out his hand and tightened his collar. The cold wind blew across the river and penetrated along the person's neck, making her feel cold.

Today's weather is much colder than yesterday. It seems that there is a possibility of snow in this midwinter.

On this day in previous years, the river here would only receive one or two light snowfalls during the Spring Festival. After all, we are in the south, where snow is rare, but in the north, the wind was already blowing coldly, and the sky was covered with snow.

"What difference can he make?"

Luo Fengtang sneered and said slowly: "In the past, Qin and Hanqing rose up and were not afraid of saying taboo words. This man was very popular at that time and could be said to be the aspiration of the people. But after he acquired a territory, he had already forgotten his original ambition.

, the people's orientation that used to be in his body is about to be lost, and he doesn't even know it. This is a sign of defeat."

"Others saw him blocking the front of our National Guard Army at the Tongtian River. This was not the case. The National Guard Army continued to move north. It was possible to do so, but it was not necessary."

Luo Fengtang only said this. Han Feiyu asked again, but could no longer get an answer.

Han Feiyu knew it and kept silent about such topics, presumably because it was a matter of confidential military aircraft. If Luo Fengtang didn't tell her, how could she dare to speculate on it?

"I, a little girl, don't understand those important military and state affairs. It's just that Wu Lang is there all year round. The water transportation here is busy, so we can't meet him."

Han Feiyu sighed.

They have been married for a long time, but they still have no children, which is something she regrets deeply.

Now she and Wu Lang can't put aside their own affairs and get together all year round, and they don't know when they can get together again.

"Hurry up, when things happen in the southwest, it will be the turn of the rebels."

Luo Fengtang gave a reply.

Han Feiyu's eyebrows became lively.

She knew that Luo Fengtang must have something to rely on when he said this, and would not just talk nonsense.

Since the incident in the southwest has happened, it will definitely be within a year or two.

She never thought that the situation in the southwest would be completely different from that of the rebels. The battle would not last long, and it would either be a big victory or a big defeat.

With a military genius like Luo Fengtang here, there will definitely not be a big defeat.

She looked up into the distance.

There was mist on the river, and all the boats coming and going turned sideways to let the Feiyu Gang's big boat pass.

The river first goes west and then southwest to enter the tributary Qingyi River.

From the source, the Qingyi River can be regarded as a tributary of the big river, but its water volume is not much smaller than that of the big river. It winds and creeps between the mountains in the southwest, and it can be regarded as a major artery in the southwest.

Ships from the capital can go to the southwest, and it is the existence of the Qingyi River that can extend the tentacles of rule there.

Therefore, for the transportation of food and ordnance, you must not miss this water transportation.
