Mumari cried.
Howling.
After being imprisoned for nearly a year and a half, the guest from an island somewhere south of the sea was finally able to go out.
Although he was not imprisoned and was only confined to the Sifang Pavilion, he was in great pain having to live in such a large place for more than a year.
In fact, Mumari was released shortly after he was captured. It is not difficult to find out whether he joined forces with the Xie family intentionally or unintentionally.
Xumi Pianruo captured many people alive in Geling City, most of whom were members of the Xie family.
Soon there were witnesses who proved that the people on Mojiu Island were involved completely because of Xie Biyu's calculations.
Today, a year and a half later, Xie Pi's head has rotted away to the point where only the skull is left. This guest finally sees the light of day again.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of Sifang Pavilion, he couldn't help crying. He squatted on the steps of the door and cried like a child.
The officials of Honglu Temple comforted him for a while, and kept explaining to him that part of the reason for not letting him out before was for his safety.
If the rebels released him from Geling before they were clean up, God knows if he would be killed by the rebels on the way, or if he would be kidnapped by the rebels and flee all the way back to Mosjiu Island.
Once the rebels really escape to the island, it will be difficult to pursue them.
Although Dayu's maritime transportation is relatively developed, the number of military ships is obviously not large.
The foreign enemies that Dayu has been fighting over the years have mainly come from the north, and the sea has been relatively peaceful.
And a fleet like the Xie family's is extremely large and recruits a large number of Jianghu people to follow them. How can ordinary pirates dare to provoke them.
Smaller fleets often follow the larger fleets, making the scale even larger.
Mumari squatted there and cried for a long time, and then asked him if he could go home. The people from Honglu Temple told him that someone would escort him along the way.
Although he did not intend to participate in the rebellion, the rock oil transported from Mosquito Island did almost cause a catastrophe.
So to say that he was pitiful was indeed pitiful, but Dayu couldn't really let him go casually. This year and a half would probably be his sentence.
The crying Mu Mali ordered his men to pack their things quickly, but he didn't want to stay in such a prosperous Dayu for a moment.
Officials from Honglu Temple asked him if he had any unfulfilled wishes before leaving.
Mumari wiped her tears and asked, "Can I go out for a meal before leaving?"
Packing things was not that fast. It was not until early the next morning that everything was ready. In order to express his comfort, Lin Ye specially asked someone to bring them some big jade brocade.
It's not much, it's just a polite thing to do.
Just when the team was loading up and preparing to set off, they saw about a dozen officers and soldiers escorting six or seven people. Although these people were wearing jade clothes, it was obvious at a glance that they did not look like beauties.
When Mumari saw those people, she cried again.
The person who came was none other than His Majesty the King of Mosquito Island...
The moment Xulike saw Mu Mali, he also cried, even more miserably than Mu Mali. His face was originally covered with a layer of dust, and the traces of tears were particularly clear.
After another half an hour, King Xulik and Mumari from Mosjiu Island were escorted to the reception office. Ning Weimo, who had just wanted to take a break, personally received these people according to the order. .
When Mu Mari saw Ning Weimo, he wanted to cry again. Before he could cry, Xulik fell to his knees and cried loudly.
About half an hour later, Ning Weimo knew why His Majesty the King of Mosjiu Island came to Dayu in person.
Just seven or eight months ago, some fishermen on Mojiu Island saw an extremely large fleet when they went out to fish. The hospitable people on Mojiu Island did not think much about it, thinking that it was just like the Xie family. The caravan can bring novel goods to the people on Mojiu Island.
things.
So, these fishermen led the fleet to dock at Mojiu Island.
At first, these blond guys seemed polite and polite. Although they didn't understand the language, they obviously wanted to express goodwill.
But when they discovered that not only were there not many troops on Mosijiu Island, but also few practitioners, the true colors of these people were exposed, and they began to crazily massacre the people on Mosijiu Island to steal supplies.
"devil!"
Xu Li Ke said with red eyes: "Those are a group of devils. They are all very tall, burly and strong, and they are also good at magic. My subjects tried their best to resist, but they couldn't stop them at all."
"My personal guards protected me and took advantage of the night to sneak attack on one of their ships. After snatching the ship, they came all the way to Dayu. We have never been here before. Fortunately, we were lucky this time. Finally, it was We found Dayu."
Xu Li Ke grabbed Ning Weimo's hand and said, "Please take me to see His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu and ask Dayu to send troops to help me recapture Mosjiu Island."
When Ning Weimo heard this, his face changed slightly, and he had an inexplicable premonition in his heart.
Dayu was definitely unable to stop the navy from going to sea now, but he felt it was necessary to discuss this matter with Lin Ye in detail.
It may also be due to his natural sensitivity. The demons from far away places that Xurike said may also pose a threat to Dayu.
So after Ning Weimo briefly appeased Xu Like and Mu Mali, he sent someone to take them back to Sifang Pavilion to rest.
He hurried to the imperial study room, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Ye standing in front of the huge territory map and looking at it carefully.
"Your Highness?"
"Come in and talk."
Lin Ye waited for Ning Weimo to come to his side. He raised his finger and pointed at a certain location on the territory map: "Mosquito Island may be here, but it is not marked on our map."
This huge map was marked, and Lin Ye marked it himself when he went to the imperial study room to handle government affairs.
The people on Mosjiu Island are actually also very interesting to Lin Ye. In the past year and a half, Lin Ye has asked the officials of Honglu Temple to chat with Mumari as much as possible and learn as much as possible about overseas affairs.
"Dayu still knows very little about things outside the territory."
Lin Ye said: "What we know now is only Mojiu Island. The government does not even know the caravans clearly about overseas countries and islands. This is not good."
Ning Weimo said: "It's really not good. I have already told you before I came. The office will send an official document to Southeast Xinjiang and ask officials from coastal counties and merchants to talk more and draw out the map in as much detail as possible." Dayu’s sea territory map.”
Lin Ye nodded: "Ning Gong is far-sighted in his actions."
He asked: "What do the people on Moss Dove Island say?"
Ning Weimo said: "It is said that there is a group of barbarians from far away overseas. They wear strange clothes. They are all very tall, with blond hair and blue eyes. They can use magic."
"witchcraft?"
Lin Ye asked: "Can you tell him in detail what kind of magic it is?"
Ning Weimo replied: "At that time, I heard him say that those overseas gangsters could use sorcery, so I invited Lu Junji, the great ritual teacher, to listen together. Lu, the great ethical practitioner, judged that it was talisman magic."
"Spells?"
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.
"Where is Lu Junji?"
"According to Xu Like, the leader of the Tujiu Island, Lu Da Lijiao rushed back to draw the drawings. He said that after the drawings were completed, he would come over with the drawings and ask to see His Highness."
Lin Ye thought for a while and walked out: "Let's go to Fengyu Temple together for a while. This matter sounds very far away and has nothing to do with Dayu, but I always feel that it won't be that way. Simple."
"Yes, I think so too."
Ning Weimo said as he walked: "Now I even suspect that those overseas gangsters deliberately let Xu Li Ke leave."
Lin Ye said: "I thought the same thing when I heard Ning Gong say it.
Yes, their goal may have been Dayu and Mosjiu Island, but it was just the first episode they encountered on the road. "
Ning Weimo said: "If this is the case, we have to guard against it. Judging from Xurike's description, the methods of these gangsters are indeed strange."
The two of them left Zhenyuan Palace and took a bus to Fengyu Temple. It was a rare rest along the way.
When they arrived at the place, Lu Junji had already drawn several sketches on his desk. They were so densely packed that it felt like there was no clue at all.
"Spells!"
When Lu Junji saw Lin Ye and Ning Weimo entering the door, he forgot to salute. His first sentence was to firmly give the answer, which was talismans.
"Although I have never seen many runes before, but..."
Lu Junji picked up a piece of talisman paper that had been drawn and handed it to Lin Ye: "This is the picture that Xu Li Ke remembers most clearly. It is on the sail of a sea ship. The runes are relatively simple, although his memory may still be There are few deviations, but some clues can still be seen.”
He looked at Lin Ye and said, "Your Highness blew on this talisman."
Lin Ye gathered strength and blew on the paper. The breath seemed to disappear in a short period of time. Then Lin Ye felt that the paper was moving on its own, and it was moving in a direction other than the direction it was in. The direction in which the forest leaves blow.
"Use the talisman array to change the direction of the wind, so that the ship can always sail smoothly."
Lu Jun said: "These people have reached the level of proficiency in the use of talismans."
Having said this, he picked up another piece of paper and handed it to Lin Ye: "This talisman inherited from Shangyang Palace, His Highness compared it. The functions of these two talisman papers are basically the same. This rune is used for On the cloud boat."
Lin Ye compared them and looked a little shocked.
The runes on the ship were obviously much simpler than the runes on the Yunzhou. The runes on the Yunzhou were densely packed. At least several thousand runes were used to form a rune array, and the arrangement was extremely complicated.
Looking at the talisman array on the ship, only about a few dozen runes are enough, and the order of arrangement is completely different from that on the Yunzhou.
"Xu Li Ke said..."
Ning Weimo looked at Lin Ye and said: "These overseas gangsters use this kind of magic everywhere. They can see it on their clothes and weapons."
Lin Ye nodded when he heard this: "A... place that specializes in talismans."
Lu Junji particularly agreed with Lin Ye's judgment.
"Xu Li Ke is really not sensitive enough to those runes and doesn't remember much. I plan to go to Southern Xinjiang to see the ship."
Lin Ye said: "Bring your newly recruited disciples with you. This can be considered a rare learning opportunity."
Lu Junji nodded and said, "I plan to go by cloud boat."
Lin Ye said: "You and the disciples will take the flying birds separately, and Yunzhou will stay in Geling. After I handle the affairs in the court, I will take more people to join you in the Yunzhou."
Lu Junji nodded: "It's okay, the construction of the second Yunzhou has not been completed yet, but if we can really understand the talismans of those overseas this time, then the construction of Yunzhou in the future may be much less labor-intensive. "
He said excitedly, but Lin Ye couldn't help but frown.
After a moment, Lin Ye still asked: "If...the other party has really used the talismans to the extreme, then does it mean that...they are not only more powerful than sea ships, but They may also have..."
Lu Junji's expression suddenly changed when he heard this: "Your Highness means that they may also have more and bigger flying boats!"
When talking about this, not only Lin Ye and Lu Junji's expressions became solemn, but even Ning Weimo, a person who did not have much talent in cultivation, also had an extremely serious expression.
The three people looked at each other, and Lin Ye pulled Ning Weimo's arm: "Go back as soon as possible to make arrangements. I want to go south with Lu Junji, and... I want to recruit people."
