Chapter 171: Expedition

In the Dali Palace, Emperor Yong'an, the current emperor of Dali, was holding a cowhide scroll and looking at it carefully.

Below him, senior civil and military officials of the third rank and above from Dali were lined up on both sides.

"My dear friends, I think you have read this secret letter from the aliens. On the ninth day of March, the aliens will attack the Daqian border. What should we do?"

Emperor Yong'an put the scroll aside casually, looking deeply at the ministers below.

Although there was a border barrier between Daqian and Dali, both sides secretly sent countless spies to the enemy's country for spying and gathering intelligence.

Even if he didn't tell everything about what happened in Daqian, he probably knew the situation.

Nowadays, most of the innate strong men in Daqian have been seriously injured and cannot easily take action.

Even Emperor Daqian suffered heavy losses after encircling and suppressing the foreign races, and finally died directly.

Then there was another royal family who wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, but in the end one person appeared to bring order to the chaos and suppressed everything forcefully.

And as far as he knew, the person who brought order to the chaos was none other than Chen Mo, whom he had met some time ago.

This really surprised him. He really couldn't understand how this person cultivated to be able to break through the innate realm so easily.

However, these issues did not have a big impact on him. They just argued a few times about whether to take the opportunity to invade Daqian.

It's the same even this time. If we really join forces with the foreign tribes to attack them, even if we can't directly destroy Dagan, we can still attack the city and seize the territory.

But doing so is not necessarily beneficial to the royal family. It is hard to say whether the newly acquired territory will be controlled by the imperial court or by those big families.

"My government should build strong horses and strong troops to attack Daqian with the foreign tribes. Although my Dali and the foreign tribes belong to different places, they are still in despair.

If the alien race is wiped out by the Great Qian, then I, the Great Li, may be next! "

An official took the initiative to speak, his tone was heartbreaking, and he looked like he was thinking about the court.

"No, the spring plowing season is coming. If we delay plowing for this reason, where will my people find food when I am so far away!"

An official from the Ministry of Revenue also stood up and retorted.

Now if we attack Dagan, if we win, it will be good. We can plunder Dagan and store grain for our own use.

But if they fail, famine will be rampant in Dali next year.

As long as food prices rise, they will continue to rise until some people starve to death because they cannot afford food.

The aristocratic families in Dali will not give free grain to the poor.

On the contrary, they will take advantage of this famine opportunity to acquire land on a large scale to accumulate slaves.

At that moment, someone stood up again and opposed the Minister of Household Affairs. For a while, many officials quarreled.

Emperor Yong'an looked towards an old man who had never spoken a word. This old man was a Da Li Xiantian warrior that Chen Mo had seen before.

Although Emperor Yong'an didn't know why these innate warriors from aristocratic sects supported him in abiding by the covenant and not using weapons against Da Gan.

But that doesn't matter, as long as these people are on their side.

"Since the covenant has been signed, we, Dali, are a country of etiquette and should not violate it."

The old man spoke leisurely, with a calm tone, and his eyes slowly glanced at the surrounding officials.

Everyone naturally understood that he was speaking not only on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of the three innate warriors.

Even if everyone has opinions in their hearts, they dare not speak directly at this moment.

………………

"Everyone, you all know the specific situation. I hope that all my colleagues will work together to suppress the alien race."

In the Xuanzheng Hall of Daqian, Chen Mo looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, bowed his hands and saluted.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen Guo, we will be able to work for the imperial court as long as we have the salary from the imperial court." The minister of the Ministry of Industry said.

Many remaining officials also expressed their support for the encirclement and suppression of foreigners.

Immediately, Chen Mo discussed the specific details with everyone, how to deploy troops and how to transport grain, grass and baggage. The discussion lasted until evening, and then the general regulations for the matter were finalized.

Civil and military officials have left one after another. It is not easy to mobilize the army. Even if we do it now, it is hard to say how many of the imperial border troops will be able to reach the border in another month.

"Senior, in my opinion, we should leave for the border tomorrow to prevent the aliens from innate raids."

The civil and military officials left one after another. Chen Mo was not in a hurry to leave. He approached Zhao Xuanxin first and suggested.

He also wanted to participate in this expedition, so he was naturally called to discuss it.

"Yes." Zhao Xuanxin did not refuse, and nodded slightly in agreement.

"Okay, then this junior will go back and make preparations." Chen Mo bowed his hands and turned around in a hurry to leave.

"The alien race is already weak, and now it's the time when the grass is growing. They don't look for pastures to graze. But they suddenly want to take action. There must be something fishy in it."

Chu Tianxiu looked slightly gloomy, walked to his old friend and spoke in a low voice.

In fact, many officials have discussed this matter before. Some time ago, all the innate powerful aliens were almost killed by Da Gan. Under normal circumstances, there would never be another war.

"I know in my heart that I will let him sit in the rear when the time comes.

Even if there is an innate strong person attacking me, if I really lose, I will risk my life to let him retreat first. "

Zhao Xuanxin's tone was calm and calm. Of course he knew that Chen Mo's survival was more valuable than his own survival.

Even if he survives by chance, he will just continue to linger, and it is impossible to change the final outcome of this world.

Chen Mo is different. He is talented enough and has the possibility to reverse everything.

You have to ensure that he survives, so that even if you die, your children and grandchildren can still survive.

"If everything goes well and the alien race is wiped out, you can take him directly to the ancestral realm." Chu Tianxiu explained again.

The so-called ancestral realm is a secret realm left by the ancestors of the human race. It has a strong ability to resist the sea of ​​​​mirage. Even if everything in the world is submerged, there will still be some things left in the ancestral realm.

The human race can avoid the destruction of the sea of ​​​​mirage time and time again, and still retain some inheritance until now, because of the existence of the ancestral realm.

"Okay." Zhao Xuanxin nodded. It doesn't matter who does this.

Since he and Chen Mo are going to encircle and suppress the alien race together, then this matter can be solved on the way.

…………

…………

Chen Mo returned home and immediately began to prepare. In addition to telling Zhao Yu that he was going to go on another expedition, he also planned to take Wei Xia with him this time.

The reason is simple, because he plans to explore the blood sea ruins, and it will be relatively safer to take her.

After resting at home for a night, Chen Mo was ready to leave when the sky was slightly bright the next morning.

"You stay at home well, and don't slack off in your practice. Don't forget to take the pills I left for you. Take one every three days."

Before leaving, Chen Mo carefully explained to Zhao Yu.

With his current status and strength, it is very easy to find some elixirs to help warriors build their foundation and practice.

The elixirs Zhao Yu is currently using for cultivation are made from the blood and sweat of the heart mirage, and the effect is quite good.

According to Chen Mo's estimation, at this speed, Zhao Yu will be able to condense a wisp of internal energy and enter the internal breath realm in one or two months at most.

"Yes. I know everything." Zhao Yu looked calm, with a hint of smile.

She sent Chen Mo to the battlefield more than once, and every time she saw him return safely.

From the initial nervousness and anxiety, she is no longer so worried now, because she knows that Chen Mo will definitely come back.

"Be careful on the road. I heard that the border is cold. Bring your cotton clothes and clothes for the beginning of spring. You can see what to wear when you get there."

Zhao Yu handed over a heavy package with washed and folded clothes.

She also helped Chen Mo prepare some dry food she made herself, and asked him to take it with him in case of emergency.

"You must come back. I'll wait for you at home." When Zhao Yu arrived at his door, he still habitually asked as usual.

"Don't worry." Chen Mo responded with a smile as he did many times before, no different from the past.

He left his home with big steps. Many people came to see him off early when they learned that he and Zhao Xuanxin were going to the border first.

"General, be careful on this trip. If things don't work out, you must protect yourself first." Zhao Renmin said seriously, and it was obvious that he had memorized these words with great difficulty.

"I understand." Chen Mo bowed and smiled in response.

Queen Mother Xu also came to see him off in person, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Zhao Renmin with a smile.

"Adoptive father." Chen Mo walked to Sun Shouren again and bowed.

"This time, my son will go ahead and investigate the situation there. You should also hurry up and make sure there are no problems with logistics." He said seriously and solemnly.

"Don't worry." Sun Shouren also understood the importance of logistics, and nodded with a cautious look on his face.

After arranging these things, Chen Mo and Zhao Xuanxin left together.

The two did not go together. If they flew in the air, Chen Mo's speed would be far slower than Zhao Xuanxin.

But if they ran on the ground, his speed would be much faster than Zhao Xuanxin.

Therefore, the two only agreed to meet in the border city five days later, but did not go together.

Chen Mo was very fast and had a clear goal.

He did not plan to go to the border city first, but planned to explore the blood sea ruins.

Five days is a long time. With his current physical strength, he can cross more than 17,000 miles in one day and reach the vicinity of the border city.

Before dusk, Chen Mo had quietly crossed the border.

Passing through the border formation, he could immediately feel the difference between heaven and earth.

Compared with the inside of the edge, the heaven and earth here were obviously more seriously eroded by the mirage sea.

The desolate and lonely land is filled with a bit of twilight, which seems to assimilate people. Standing here, one can only feel oppressive.

This is the world, the closest to the Mirage Sea, or the lowest place. The water of the Mirage Sea will first flood here, and then slowly rise until it floods the entire world.

No wonder those alien warriors, no matter how many people died or how much they paid, always wanted to enter the territory of Daqian.

Because the conditions are too difficult to live here, when the year is better, there may be a chance to breathe, but once the situation changes slightly, people will inevitably starve to death.

In addition to wanting to get in, attacking Daqian is actually a way for aliens to consume population.

Not having enough food is not a big problem. As long as enough people die, there will be enough food left.

Chen Mo carefully explored outside the border of Daqian. With the short sword he got at the beginning to help lead the way, he soon found a pool of water.

The pool is very small, only one foot square, and there are some plants around it, but now they are already withered and yellow.

The water in the pool was so clear that you could see the bottom, and there was not even a single fish or shrimp swimming around.

Chen Mo only needed to sink into the pool to reach the blood sea.

He was not in a hurry to enter the pool, but first took out the puppet and stepped into it to explore.

After he confirmed again and again that there was no problem with the puppet going up and down, Chen Mo jumped into the pool.
