Chapter 432: Planning for the Southwest!
Chapter 432
The next year will be the most drastic change in the empire. If my prediction is correct, a large-scale battle will break out in the southwestern border of the empire in half a year at the latest, which will be an unprecedented disastrous defeat for the empire.
With this series of changes, all the powers around the empire will covet it, including the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, the Goguryeo Empire, the Western Regions, and even the distant Dashi and Tiaozhi.
"Roof leaks and cracks continue to rain", "blessings are unparalleled, misfortunes never come singly", in the relationship between empires, this principle is more common and applicable.
Once a flaw is found, the "wolves" will swarm over and eat up the prey!
Although Wang Chong told Li Siye that it was a year, it was far from what Wang Chong expected. If Datang can survive the next whole year safely, then I am afraid that the catastrophe in his memory will not come.
If this is the case, then Wang Chong will happily let Li Siye go.
If it wasn't for the terrible catastrophe in the future, if it wasn't for the disaster of the empire and the danger of Middle-earth, why would I bother to take down the poisoned "Hyderabad Ore" and the "Meteorite" on the overseas islands? ?
It is true that the empire can successfully survive all these disasters, so what if Wang Chong doesn't want everything?
Wang Chong's decision was obviously beyond Li Siye's expectations. Wang Chong could give up something worth hundreds of millions of taels of gold. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
"Good! Prince!"
Li Siye looked into Wang Chong's eyes and used an honorific title for the first time. Stimulated by Wang Chong, he also felt a surge of pride in his heart:
"If your royal family can really give up the hundreds of millions of taels of gold Hyderabad ore and meteoric iron, and dedicate them to the court, what if I, Li Siye, have served your royal family for a few years? Take ten thousand steps back, if it is really like you said Yes, there will be a war in the southwestern border, and I, Li Siye, will definitely go generously without you saying anything!"
"Manly man, if you can't make great achievements, Biaobing history said, to make a great contribution to the empire and the people, what's the point of running a dog? If you can really make a little contribution and die well, even if you throw away a good head what"
Wang Chong, a teenager, can have such ambitions, but Li Siye considers himself a man, and as an adult, he has a good figure of eight feet, how could he consider himself defeated by a child?
"good!"
Wang Chong was overjoyed,
After waiting for so long, he finally heard the long-awaited words. For so many days, this can be said to be his favorite words to hear:
"Li Siye, a word from a gentleman"
"It's hard to get out!"
Without hesitation, Li Siye said decisively.
At this moment, his eyes were firm and sharp.
After being transferred from Beiting Protectorate's Mansion for more than two months, Wang Chong finally gained the loyalty of this "Supernatural General" for the first time!
...
Winter goes to spring, ice and snow melt, everything revives, and it is a new year in a blink of an eye.
In the Zhige courtyard, there are row upon row of pavilions, with flying eaves and brackets, luxurious and beautiful.
On a high arched corner in the middle of the Zhige Courtyard, Wang Chong sat cross-legged, like a feather, floating on it without any force, as if he was sitting on a flat ground.
In more than a month, Wang Chong's phantom footwork has improved again, reaching the point where his body is as light as a feather. Even if he steps on a branch as thin as a finger, it will never let the branch sink.
This is the manifestation of skill progress.
"call!"
On the corner of the arch, Wang Chong breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes turned bright, and finally he slowly stopped.
Whoosh whoosh!
Almost at the same time as Wang Chong opened his eyes, a black shadow emerged from a corner of a distant house, flying back and forth on the golden roof ridges, as light and nimble as a civet cat.
The black shadow was still far away at first, but in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Wang Chong.
"My lord, your ginseng tea!"
The black figure respectfully knelt on one knee on the roof tile, and handed over a cup of hot ginseng tea. If you look carefully, you can see that the black shadow with a black scarf covering his face has a slender figure, protruding forward and backward, and is exquisite. When he comes closer, a faint scent of body fragrance diffuses into his nose, which makes people shake his heart. He is not always following Wang Chong's side. Who is Gong Yulingxiang?
In the new year, Wang Chong's influence among the instructors of the Forbidden Army has further deepened. On the spiritual veins, the leadership effect of several veteran instructors of the Imperial Army appeared, and more retired instructors of the Imperial Army joined Wang Chong's command.
Some of them were transferred to Lingmai Mountain by Wang Chong to teach the students there. The other part was transferred to Wang Chong's home to protect Wang Chong's mother.
With these experienced instructors of the Imperial Army, in terms of loyalty and reliability, they are far more useful than those hired from outside.
With these substitutions, Miyame Ayaka naturally pulled out.
After being under the protection of Wang's family for more than a year, Gong Yu Lingxiang didn't have to do other things, she was distracted and concentrated on martial arts, and her martial arts are now much stronger than before.
Ghost's footwork has improved a lot compared to before. Even in the daytime, if you pay attention in advance, you may not be able to notice her.
Even Wang Chong sometimes couldn't catch her.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Wang Chong took the golden-yellow and fragrant Koguryo ginseng tea from Miyame Ayaka and drank it down in one gulp. With Wang Chong's current state, the effect of ginseng tea is already very limited. However, the effect of these century-old ginseng on nourishing meridians is still effective for Wang Chong.
The faster the martial arts are refined, the more overbearing the kung fu practice, the more need to nourish the meridians, this is a subtle process.
"The old lady came here with a message, telling you to protect your body. In addition, she brought some clothes, saying that the winter snow has just hardened, and the weather is still cold, so you should pay attention to keeping warm."
When Wang Chong finished drinking the ginseng tea, Miyame Ayaka knelt on the ground and suddenly said.
Wang Chong was startled when he heard this, and suddenly laughed.
After staying in the palace for a while, although Miyame Ayaka no longer shoulders the responsibility of protecting the palace, but now she has become a tool for her mother in disguise.
With Wang Chong's skill at this time and today, it is already different from the past. Even if it is cold and heavy snow, it will not feel too much, and there is no need for warm clothes at all.
But the mother obviously didn't think so, and still regarded him as the weak and innocent boy before.
"Understood. You have worked hard during this time. This is the latest ghost footwork mentality, you can take it."
As Wang Chong said, he threw away a book he had written in his arms. After finishing this martial arts book, Miyame Ayaka can basically reach the sixth or even seventh level of real martial arts.
For more than a year, Miyame Ayaka also slowly won Wang Chong's trust. For those who are loyal to him, Wang Chong has always been generous with rewards.
Whoosh!
When Miyame Ayaka grabbed the palm, even Wang Chong didn't see how she made the move, and a book had already arrived in her arms.
"Thank you son!"
Gong Yu Lingxiang was overjoyed, grasping the heart method that Wang Chong had transcribed, holding it tightly in her hand, and bowed her head. The higher the martial arts, the deeper the understanding of the martial arts mentality, the more you can feel the lack of martial arts and mentality.
Miyamura Ayaka had already completely believed what Wang Chong said to her back then, the ghost footwork she practiced was definitely fatally flawed and incomplete.
But the power of this set of exercises is beyond doubt.
As long as the flaws in it can be resolved, this technique will become stronger as it progresses. And as an assassin, Miyame Ayaka couldn't give up this kind of skill.
"Go!"
Wang Chong waved his hand. Miyame Ayaka pulled out her hand, and now she can shoulder the responsibility of secretly guarding Zhigeyuan. Zhi Ge Yuan is now playing an increasingly important role.
As an experienced assassin, she is also more suitable than herself to discover the crises hidden in the dark.
"Thank you son!"
Gong Yu Lingxiang turned over and quickly disappeared under the eaves, the speed was so fast that people thought it was a hallucination.
"Young master!"
Almost at the same time that Gong Yu Lingxiang left, the figure turned, and a sturdy figure rose from the ground like a big eagle, leaped onto the roof and appeared in front of Wang Chong.
"Crazy!"
The snow falcon chirped, and the eagle glanced at the direction Miyame Ayaka left, and soon came to Wang Chong.
"Young master!"
"Well, is there any news from Lone Wolf?"
Wang Chong raised his head with a serious expression, completely different from when he just met Miyazawa Ayaka. At this moment, Wang Chong is most concerned about the Southwest.
"The southwest is far away, and it's inconvenient to send news. I asked Lone Wolf once before, and Lone Wolf replied that everything was normal. I haven't heard from Lone Wolf since then. But you can rest assured, if there is something wrong, Lone Wolf will take the initiative to write to you." report."
Eagle said.
"Well. From now on, you will open two news channels for me. One is the carrier pigeon in the air, and the other is the hand delivery on the ground. Since the southwest road is far away, then put some people on the road and expedite it for three hundred miles. I want Shorten Southwest’s news transmission from several months to less than 20 days. In this way, two channels, one detailed and one simple, can also shorten the delay of news to the minimum.”
"In addition, air control at certain times. Once there are a large number of raptors such as Costinus, preying on carrier pigeons, our air news will be cut off. One more ground transmission method can also be used just in case."
Wang Chong said.
The eagle nodded, with a hint of admiration faintly showing in his eyes. Although Wang Chong is very young, he is much more careful in thinking about problems than him in some aspects.
"In addition, send these two letters to me, to my father and elder brother!"
Wang Chong paused, then took out two other pre-written letters from his pocket and handed them over. The cold winter has passed, and Wang Chong is now actively contacting his father and elder brother.
Xianyu Zhongtong's side, although he is easy to talk to, but after all, the friendship is too shallow. It is not easy for Wang Chong to intervene in many things. Once something goes wrong, it is far less useful than my own family.
Now if something happens in the Southwest and you want to interfere there, your father and elder brother will be your best support. Moreover, from them, you can also learn a lot of news that the lone wolf may not be able to understand, and it is also convenient for you to judge the situation there at any time.
"Yes, let's do it now."
Eagle said with a straight face.
Putting two fingers into its mouth, the eagle uttered a series of short whistles, the sound was sharp and pierced into the sky. Huhu, it was only a moment's work, and two huge golden eagles flew down from the air, one on the left and one on the right, and landed on the two shoulders of the golden eagles.
The eagle rolled up the envelope and expertly tied it to the thick thighs of the two golden eagles. Chirping, the two golden eagles flapped their wings and disappeared quickly in the south like two beams of light. Sky.
Wang Chong watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.
An eagle is more powerful than an army of hundreds of people. The sparrows raised by the eagles are extremely fast, and the transmission of news will not be delayed for too long.
This is also the reason why Wang Chong relied heavily on him, trusted him, and gradually entrusted him with more and more important things.
