Jin Kingdom, Pantai City.
In the palace, Khan King Utu sat on the throne, with his ministers on both sides.
Under Utu is a bald monk with an exaggerated necklace around his neck, staring at the steps. This person is the national master Praba.
At this moment, a young man was kneeling at the foot of the stairs, facing the crowd of people onlookers, with no fear in his expression.
Wu Tu's powerful voice sounded: "Are you Ning Hongyuan?"
"That's right, little man. I feel honored to see the king of Khan today." Ning Hongyuan raised his head and showed a flattering smile, but this smile was not very beautiful, with a few teeth missing, "No To think that King Khan also knows the language and culture of Dajing is really admirable to me."
"Haha, you are a capable person. You can help me get so much iron ore from Jingguo. Please give me a seat."
"Why do you suddenly want to see me in person today? Is there some big deal?"
Ning Hongyuan secretly sighed in his heart.
In recent years, I have been helping Beirong smuggle iron ore. Unexpectedly, Beirong changed his appearance and started to learn from Dajing... Wutu actually regarded himself as me.
"There are no small businessmen, but I came here to inform His Majesty of a major event."
"What's the big deal?" Wu Tu asked.
"Jingguo has obtained a magical weapon that can control the sky! I heard that a new battalion was set up in the capital, called the Shenji Battalion. The villain guesses that this Shenji Battalion was set up to control this heaven-controlling weapon. Da Jing I'm afraid that future battles will not be limited to the ground, but... the enemy will come from the sky. After knowing the news, the villain hurriedly came to see your majesty, just to inform your majesty to prepare early in case of a conflict between the two countries in the future. , it’s better to take precautions.”
After Ning Hongyuan finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter.
"Feitian? I'm afraid you've lost your mind. How can you prove that what you said is true?"
Ning Hongyuan said: "Everything the villain said is true. The villain has been in the capital all year round, so he is well-informed. This flying object was only briefly displayed in the capital for two days, and then disappeared without a trace. This matter has not been reported in the capital. It also caused heated discussions.”
After listening to his sworn explanation, everyone still shook their heads and said they couldn't accept it.
There are so many things that can fly, and kites can fly. Can people still fight on kites?
Ordinary people are no different from villagers in the mountains. They just listen to the wind and it rains. They are not worthy of belief.
Only Wutu and Paba's expressions did not change. Wutu frowned: "I don't understand. If you are just smuggling iron ore for profit, I can understand it, but what do you mean by treason?"
Ning Hongyuan gritted his teeth: "The villain's surname is not Ning, but Shui. Shui Ange, and I am not from Jingguo."
"Surname is Shui..." Wutu thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Are you the royal family of Qian Kingdom?"
"Exactly... the villain is the second son of Prince Ning."
Everyone was in an uproar. The Qian Kingdom had been destroyed for so long, but there was still a royal family still alive, and they dared to do smuggling business in the Jing Kingdom. It was really a fate.
Wutu laughed loudly: "Interesting, interesting! It's really interesting that the Qian Kingdom has been destroyed for so long and there are still people from the royal family who are active, but they still come to me to sow discord."
"We, Dajin and Jingguo, frequently communicate with each other in the border town. We are brothers. How can you instigate this with just a few words?"
Shui Ange's heartbeat quickened, but his expression remained calm as he said, "Since this is a country of brothers, why would your Majesty keep smuggling iron ore in this villain?"
"If it's not for making armor and weapons and preparing for war, is it possible that it's still for making agricultural tools?"
"We, Dajin, have our own national conditions, how can we allow you to talk too much?" Wutu said solemnly.
"The villain is telling the truth! Li Che is also a man who can conquer war-like people. Although Dajin has good relations with Jingguo now, they have long had grudges. If Jingguo is fully prepared, it may not be a blessing to our country! "
"Besides, there is now a new Eastern Suburbs University in the capital, which recruits talents from all over the world. Gods who protect the heavens also come from here. In the long run, more weapons to defend the enemy will be developed. These suggestions are all sincere. Your Majesty believes Believe it or not, this is what the villain said!" After Shui Ange finished speaking, he lowered his head and remained silent.
Wutu snorted softly: "Then I have to thank you for your kindness. He's here. Send him down and treat him well."
Afterwards, Shui Ange was taken away, and Wutu looked at Paba and said, "National Master, what do you think?"
Pa Ba said: "I didn't expect that this person turned out to be the royal family of the Qian Kingdom, but that doesn't matter. Your Majesty, I have placed spies around him to see if there is anything that can control the heavens. If you call him and ask, you will know whether it is true or not."
Wutu nodded, and soon the spies arrived.
Paba asked bluntly, and the spies returned: "Returning to the country, a heavenly object did appear in the capital, called a hot air balloon. But it was only displayed at Dongjiao University for two days, and there was no news after that. The villain also I have indeed heard of Shenji Camp in the capital, but I don’t know if it has anything to do with hot air balloons.”
Utu's face changed slightly, he waved his hand to drive away the spies, and turned his eyes to Paba.
Paba was also a little distracted... He really didn't expect that Da Jing, who had only been in power for a few years, would actually go to heaven!
After thinking for a while, Praba sighed: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid everything here is closely related to Fang Zhengyi. This man is indeed a great talent."
"I don't want to hear you talking about him anymore. In the snowstorm last winter, countless cattle and sheep died. The state treasury has been unable to spend on the iron ore purchases for consecutive years."
"We have been preparing for this battle for a long time, and now there are changes. You tell me what to do." Wutu said helplessly.
Paba shook his head and said: "Your Majesty needs to endure it a little longer and send people to the capital to find out the news. We have never heard of flying soldiers. We still don't know anything about the opponent's tactics. We need to endure it for another two years."
There was anger on Wutu's face, and he glanced at the ministers below: "Back then, you told me that if you want to conquer the great scenery, you must first learn its culture. I did so, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction below."
"Although we trade with Jingguo, we exchange what we need, but Jingguo has abundant supplies and its merchants are cunning, so we have taken advantage of it."
"Now the people below are all resentful towards me. Even if I don't want to fight, ask the people below if they will agree?"
The crowd immediately became excited.
"Your Majesty, we have been preparing for a long time, and now we have 60,000 heavy armored cavalry, enough to sweep the world!"
"So what if the opponent can fly? I don't believe they can stand firm in the sky and shoot accurately at people underground. They shouldn't be able to hit people with thunder stones and rolling wood!"
"Your Majesty, this battle has to begin. The consumption of these 60,000 heavy cavalry alone is beyond what we can afford!"
Utu looked at Paba: "Did you hear that? We can't wait any longer. Now we can only find a suitable opportunity. National Master, I have always trusted you, and what you want now is not to avoid war."
Paba looked at the eager eyes below and sighed: "Since His Majesty has made a decision, I will naturally follow him."
"There are some things your Majesty doesn't want to hear, but I still have to say them. Since I came back from Da Jing, I have been sending people to pay attention to the trends in the capital for so many years. There have been many changes over the years, but they are all related to one person."
"Fang Zhengyi?"
"Yes, this person is really a genius. If he can be used by me, he will be of great help. And he must understand the divine weapon that controls the sky, so we must invite him here first... and then we can talk about the funeral."
