Chapter 1433 Very Unfavorable
After hearing what Lu Fenglang said, King Hancheng nodded: "Okay! Then I'll take the trouble for Mr. Lu to take a trip! I'll send two good men to follow Mr. Lu!"
Lu Fenglang saluted King Han Cheng, took two navy soldiers as escorts, and headed towards the Dongyi Kingdom's naval fleet in a small boat.
Soon, Du Yulang saw the only woman in the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty... Lu Fenglang, who was returning with the troops he sent out.
Du Yulang heard that this woman... was the granddaughter of a lieutenant in the Zhou Dynasty.
Lu Fenglang boarded the Dongyi Kingdom's warship under the escort of two navy soldiers from Dazhou.
When Lu Fenglang saw Du Yulang, he bowed and said, "I heard that this general is chasing the ship of our envoy from the Zhou Dynasty for the sake of the seventh prince of Dongyi Kingdom?"
"Master Lu, are you asking this question knowingly?" Du Yulang's attitude was not very friendly.
Lu Fenglang calmed down, pretending to be calm and smiled: "It seems that we have all been fooled by the Queen of Dongyi Kingdom! It was only when the general sent someone to ask us for the seventh prince just now that I figured it out! The Queen of Dongyi Kingdom He wanted to promote his own flesh and blood, the seventh prince, to the throne, so when I entered the palace to present the treasure to the queen on behalf of Da Zhou, he told me that if Da Zhou was willing to promote the seventh prince to the throne at the right time, the queen would definitely reciprocate! We are not interested in the internal affairs of the Dongyi Kingdom, we only hope that there will be peace along the coast while we are gambling with the Yan Kingdom. This...our envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fan Yugan, also told the second prince."
Seeing Du Yulang's thoughtful expression, Lu Fenglang understood that this close minister of the second prince...may have known about the queen's intention to join forces with Da Zhou.
Only then did she feel confident, and continued: "A few days ago, the queen sent someone to our post house and lied to Mr. Liu... that the second prince initiated a palace coup, and that the second prince listened to the envoys of the Yan Kingdom and the monarch of the Tianfeng Kingdom. , wanted to kill our envoys from the Great Zhou Dynasty and start a war with us from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our envoys from the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lord Liu, were worried, so they asked us and other envoys to leave first, while Lord Liu stayed in the capital of Dongyi Kingdom. Negotiating with the newly enthroned emperor of Dongyi Kingdom, I think the second prince has already gone to the post house and saw that our Lord Liu is still staying in the capital of Dongyi Kingdom."
"But in fact, the queen had already sent the seventh prince away, and informed us of the palace coup in advance by the second prince, and threatened us that the second prince would kill our envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty! All of this, but It was the queen who wanted to trick the envoys of the Zhou Dynasty into leaving Dongyi overnight and attract the second prince’s pursuers... so as to buy time for the seventh prince to escape from the Dongyi Kingdom!" Lu Fenglang's voice was slow and she continued in Dongyi dialect, which was not very fluent, " Calculate the time. If we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, really wanted to promote the seventh prince to the throne, and we only knew that the matter was not going to happen when the second prince launched the palace coup, and escaped with the seventh prince, the navy of Dongyi Kingdom would have caught up with him long ago. We won’t spend so many talents catching up.”
Du Yulang raised his eyes and looked at Lu Fenglang who looked calm, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"General, think about it again. Without the help of the Queen of Dongyi Kingdom, how could we have prepared the boat and escaped so quickly? This Queen is more powerful than I thought. I'm afraid she has already planned it since she summoned our envoys from the Great Zhou Dynasty. He plotted to usurp the throne, and... he also prepared a way out to plot against us, the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Lu Fenglang sneered, and turned to look at his navy, "Do you think, if this time... Dongyi Kingdom The navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty relied on its large number of people to damage the navy of our Great Zhou Dynasty. This Dongyi Kingdom can be regarded as enmity with our Great Zhou Dynasty! So... will our great Zhou Dynasty tolerate it? Even if it is to gamble on the country today If you can bear it, no matter whether you win or lose after gambling on the country, this revenge must be avenged!"
Seeing that Du Yulang seemed to be suspicious because of her words, Lu Fenglang continued: "Of course, if both of us are safe today, and Mr. Liu is still in the capital of Dongyi, it will be inevitable for the two countries to open up and trade with each other! If so, The general is still suspicious that we have taken away the seventh prince, so we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, can take a step back and let the general personally go to the ship of our great Zhou envoy to see if there is any trace of the seventh prince!"
Lu Fenglang's words were both soft and hard, and the analysis was so clear that Du Yulang believed them. If the other countries were shaken, they might have been shaken, but Du Yulang took his life from the second prince. If he couldn't bring back the seventh prince... he would lose it. Head!
The second prince is not a good person, let alone a master who listens to explanations. As long as he fails to take the seventh prince back with him, the second prince will definitely chop off his head with a sword and take the lives of his people. He knows his master too well.
But now, it is either to stop fighting for the sake of peace between the two countries, fight hard, and turn around and go back!
Or, he didn't care whether the Seventh Prince was on the ship of the envoy of the Zhou Dynasty. If the war started, he would tell the Second Prince that the Zhou Dynasty refused to hand over the Seventh Prince. He obeyed the order and started a war with the Zhou Dynasty. Anyway, he wanted to fight with the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Shuishi has a fight!
Du Yulang thought about it for a while, and finally felt that it didn't matter if he lost his life, but... his children and wife could not lose their lives because of his kind-heartedness. He took a deep look at Lu Fenglang and shouted loudly : "Push her down, give the order, turn the ship around, and get the crossbowmen ready!"
Lu Fenglang's eyes widened, and she didn't expect that Du Yulang would fight even though Xiao Xiao was interested in the situation.
King Hancheng saw the command flag waving on the opposite side, and his whole body tensed up, and he shouted: "Turn the bow around, prepare the archers! Prepare the crossbows! Go and give the order for the fishing boats to evacuate quickly! Hurry!"
The sun is rising.
Between the vast gilded sea and the quiet sky of golden and purple clouds, one by one in the south and one in the north, the confronting fleets turned rapidly, the water waves were high, and bugles sounded one after another. The navy on board The soldiers ran back and forth, turning the capstans and drawing the crossbows. The archers lined up and fastened their buckles to the hull of the ship to stabilize their bodies, and raised arrows and bows to aim at the enemy.
Lu Fenglang's eyes widened as he was being held by Dongyi Navy soldiers. He struggled not to be lifted down and shouted loudly: "Are you crazy? The new emperor ascended the throne. This is the time when the government should be stabilized and the neighboring countries should be stabilized. You start a war without authorization! Don’t worry about the new emperor’s censure!”
But no one responded to Lu Fenglang. The two navy officers who came with her were killed, and she was dragged into the cabin and locked up.
Lu Fenglang eagerly knocked on the door, slapped the door, and shouted, but because the hull of the ship suddenly turned and tilted, her body was unstable and knocked to the side. She felt the sound of arrows piercing the hull of the ship, and heard the crossbows flying towards and stabbing. The sound of a broken hull.
The war between the Dongyi Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty has finally come!
But now the number of naval warships in Dongyi Kingdom is several times more than that of Great Zhou. It would be very disadvantageous for Great Zhou to start a war here.
