Not long after, the city gate opened, and the county magistrate not only brought more than a hundred people, but also the county captain, and followed the village chief towards the beach.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the beach.
The fishermen came over, hoping for the stars and the moon, and finally they came. The environment here, and the piles of sacks, made it difficult to see people coming. The bonfire was almost extinguished, so the fishermen added some firewood. Not extinguished.
When they arrived here, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant looked at each other in shock. Both of them had been on the battlefield before, and with some smooth family relationships, one became the county magistrate and the other became the county lieutenant. It was almost nothing. There is room for growth, but stability is the key.
Life here means fewer people, fewer things, and more joy!
After the two called soldiers to open all the sacks, a strong smell of corpses filled the beach. Fortunately, they were at the beach, otherwise they would have been suffocated to death.
At this time, a soldier ran over and brought over a bronze seal, which was not sealed with mud. When he opened it, his face turned pale and he was shaking and about to fall down.
It was the county captain next to him who helped him.
"Oh, what's going on? How come you, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law of us men, are so vicious when they see a woman?"
The county magistrate showed a smile that was uglier than crying. I'm sorry, it made me laugh, but I really can't laugh now.
After calming down, he feebly asked all the fishermen to go back first. The village chief stayed and the soldiers stepped aside, and then showed the contents to the two of them.
After seeing it, the three grown men sat down directly on the beach, stunned and speechless.
"What to do?"
"What should I do?"
"What to do next?"
"Oh, even if you are a village chief, you can cause trouble for me. You have bad luck in your life, right?"
"I think it's because someone who could have been a county magistrate was demoted to be a village chief. It's so funny that when you get here, there will be no peace between the two of us!"
"Hey, hey, what do you mean? I'm here to talk to you with good intentions, otherwise I wouldn't know how to deal with it."
After the three of them were silent for a while, the county magistrate spoke. Everyone who knows what happened should keep their mouths shut if they don't want to die.
Then he ordered the county captain to go to the county seat immediately and find the county guard no matter what.
In this era, except for Liao Guo's rejuvenation, Shang Guo's official positions were almost the same as those of Xia Guo, but the essence was different.
Officials in the Xia State were appointed by the central government, while many official positions in the Shang State could be inherited. Some official positions were negotiated by the scholar-bureaucrat family and then approved by the king.
The county lieutenant did not dare to neglect, and directly took the letter and his men and rushed towards the county city at night. This matter could not be slowed down.
Shangguo's territory is not large and the distance is not very far. In the early morning, he finally arrived at the county seat and showed the county governor the seriousness of the matter.
The county guard knew that the matter was serious and immediately reported it layer by layer.
Finally, on the fifth day after the body was discovered, Li Lu led hundreds of soldiers and a large number of carriages to the beach.
Li Lu looked very ugly. After confirming the identity of the corpse, he dragged a tall corpse out of the pile of corpses.
When he actually saw Long Daoyuan's body, even if he knew the news, Li Lu still had a look of disbelief on his face.
Under normal circumstances, could anyone really kill him? The most important thing is that the face was smashed. Fortunately, from the facial features of the corpse, the pretentious face from before can still be vaguely seen.
Li Lu took a bag of things from the soldier and threw it to the county magistrate, saying, "You three are all smart people. This matter must not be leaked at all."
"promise!"
In front of Li Lu, the three of them didn't even dare to breathe. Just kidding, he was a general and was in charge of half of Shang Guo's army.
Li Lu took the body and set off.
Some distance away from the coastline, a group of old men squatted on the warship, Wu Gaolang said to the side.
"Arina, can you see it? It's too far here and I can't see clearly at all."
Arina held a huge telescope and said without looking back, "I saw it clearly. A general transported all the corpses back and got angry with the person who found the corpses."
"What's the expression on his face?"
Arina looked at Wu Gaolang with a confused face, "General, is he still so elegant?"
"Ya, your sister, your Majesty wants to ask if it's okay!"
"It turns out to be your Majesty."
Arina nodded thoughtfully, and then recounted what she had just seen in detail, while Wu Gaolang began to record it from the side. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I learned it from the guy above.
Patting Arina on the shoulder, Wu Gaolang said happily, "Fortunately, I borrowed you from you at that time, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to observe it."
Both of them knew that this place was already far away from the shore. After all, the target of the warship was too big. If it was to be invisible or subconsciously ignored, it should be as far away as possible.
At such an extreme distance, Arina's clairvoyance comes in handy.
Wu Gaolang immediately informed Yang Qian of what was going on here. This time Yang Qian asked in detail. When he learned that Li Lu was also here, he immediately showed a mocking look.
At that time, the fat man was there. The five hundred elites were sent by Li Lu, and the 72 disciples were Long Daoyuan.
So so far, Long Daoyuan is dead, and only one-third of the revenge has been taken. As for the rest, Yang Qian has a clear goal in mind.
Li Lu occupies one-third and Shang Guo occupies one-third!
He did not believe that the actions of the two men were self-inflicted, and must have been confirmed by the superiors, or even ordered by the entire Shangguo senior leadership.
"You should return to the sea and practice your naval training diligently. Also, give Arina back to me!"
Arina is a talented person. The gift of this kind of talent is that the master will reward her with food. It is something that ordinary people cannot achieve no matter how hard they try.
Wu Gaolang hesitated for a moment and complained, "Your Majesty, Arina is also very important to our navy. Do you think she will stay with us?"
Yang Gan laughed and scolded, "Fuck you, you are the commander of the navy and naturally you have to think about everything for the sake of the navy. But without Arina, the reconnaissance intensity of the border army's scout team will be reduced by at least three levels. Are you guys willing?"
Wu Gaolang cried sadly and said again, "Your Majesty, our navy also needs to detect it early. After all, at sea, the warships are huge. If you want to avoid being discovered and monitor others, you can easily expose yourself."
"Replace the people and apply at Zhuangzi's factory. The battleship is huge, so install a larger telescope."
"promise!"
Your Majesty spoke, and even if Wu Gaolang had ten heads, he did not dare to refuse. After putting down the microphone, he hurriedly held his trembling right hand. Just as he was about to refute your Majesty, he also broke into a cold sweat for himself.
Shangguo, Fuyan, royal palace!
Inside the palace, lanterns were hung high and red carpets were spread on the floor, creating a festive atmosphere.
The army patrolled the palace constantly.
A large number of officials got off the bus at the entrance of the palace, held hands with each other, chatted with each other, and walked towards the palace.
A group of people in twos and threes indicates a large or small circle. Such things as circles should be called camps in this era.
It is almost impossible to join a camp just by paying benefits.
Suddenly, a tall figure walked in from outside. Almost everyone along the way bowed their hands to him, but the person who came didn't even bat an eyelid.
Of course, there were people who showed great courtesy, and there were naturally people who looked on with cold eyes. Some officials looked at the scene blankly, without the slightest intention of going up to say hello.
After Li Lu saw Mrs. Yinglie, the group came to a side hall of the palace. When they entered, a strong stench hit their faces.
"What's this?"
Mrs. Yinglie covered her nose with a look of displeasure on her face. Today was her birthday. Li Lu was so ignorant. She had never thought this guy had such low emotional intelligence before.
After presenting the bronze seal to Mrs. Yinglie, Li Lu stood quietly beside her.
When Mrs. Yinglie saw it, her whole face turned pale. After seeing Long Daoyuan's body, a chill rose from her tailbone.
"Okay, okay, Yang Qian'er is so brave. A mere lord actually gave me hundreds of corpses as a birthday gift and even killed the sword master."
Mrs. Yinglie was tough, but Li Lu noticed her trembling lips.
"Madam, in my opinion, the alliance between Shang and Liao must continue. Yang Qian's strength cannot be ignored. While he is not strong enough to attack Goguryeo, we can join forces with the two countries to attack Yanggu. close."
"As long as Yanggu Pass is broken, we will be able to march straight in. It is best to hold Yanggu Pass in our hands. As long as Yang Qian is destroyed, our Shang Kingdom will be out of danger for the time being."
Mrs. Yinglie had no objection at all and said directly, "General, how about a frontal attack and an assassination?"
Li Lu looked at the body of the Sword Master on the ground and said bitterly, "The assassination has no effect. Yang Qian'er has always been cautious. This assassination of the Sword Master has given him a defense. The most important thing is that Wu Anjun's martial arts can even be used by the Sword Master." Kill, no matter how many assassins you have, it’s useless.”
Don't know what's going on.
Mrs. Yinglie became furious, "What about my safety? Don't you know how my son was assassinated?"
"There are thousands of palace guards, but not even one person can be spared. I am really confused and allowed you two to carry out the assassination plan."
"Now that we have failed, the thief Yang Qian will definitely not give up. General, you must have never heard of this person. Yang Qian has never been unreasonable and acted unscrupulously. He destroyed three living beings in one fell swoop." Centuries of steppe tribes.”
Li Lu cupped his hands and said, "Don't panic, Queen Mother. The Sword Master is dead, but the Sword Master Academy is still there. It's better to let his disciples come into the palace as guards. Even if they are not strong in combat, there are more people than there are."
Mrs. Yinglie raised her eyebrows and said uncertainly, "The Juggernaut Palace has always been aloof. Are their people willing to come over and pay back the favor?"
