Chapter 154 Longhushan Danfang, the coastal battle will start! 【Ask monthly ticket】
"National Division?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside.
I saw Wei Yunyi walking in dressed in a fine attire, followed by a group of young eunuchs.
After the little celestial master heard it, without any hesitation, he quickly put down the "Danjie" in his hand, and then respectfully said: "Caomin, please see Your Majesty."
"How many times have I already said that you are now my Great Wei Guoshi, so you don't need to call yourself a grassroots grassroots." Hearing this, Wei Yunyi looked helpless, and immediately said.
"I have already talked about the appointment of you as a national teacher at the imperial meeting today. At the same time, I have also announced the matter of repairing Longhu Mountain."
"So from now on, don't call yourself a grassroots grassroots."
The national teacher can also be regarded as a courtier of the Great Wei, so naturally he calls himself a minister.
Of course, he can also understand that the other party may not adapt to his current status all of a sudden.
So it's not too much of a blame either.
After hearing this, Arowana nodded, and immediately thought of what he was thinking about before, and said directly.
"It just so happens that your majesty is here, and I have something here that I want to report to your majesty."
Immediately, she expressed all the worries in her heart.
It was about after Wei Yunyi broke through to the fifth rank of martial arts.
It is useless to take Hunyuan Pill again.
Thinking of being in the Ouchi Imperial Palace.
Is there any other refining method of elixir, which is more powerful than Hunyuan elixir?
After all, if you want to continue to improve with the method of pills, you must do so.
In fact, Wei Yunyi also came for this matter.
He is very clear that with his current state, he may be able to break through in a short time.
At that time, the Hunyuan Pill will be completely useless. If there is no better medicine to replace it, it will be almost impossible to continue to grow as before.
Besides, it's impossible for me to rely on the system all the time, right?
So he came to Danfang.
I want to know if the little celestial master has any good solutions.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be struggling with this issue as well.
This made Wei Yunyi a little helpless.
Because he knows it all too well.
The "Danjie" obtained from King Wu is the only record in the entire Wei Dynasty about the refining method of elixirs.
It is impossible to have more, so when the little celestial master asked this question, Wei Yunyi just shook his head and couldn't help saying: "To be honest, there is a record about refining elixir, and this is the only one."
After hearing this, the little celestial master nodded immediately.
In fact, in her heart, she had already expected this.
Originally, from the mouth of the master, I heard that there are mysterious people who can destroy some pills that can improve martial arts.
Some hidden sects may relax a bit, but it is almost impossible for other places, especially the common people and the imperial court.
Just like before, when Wei Yunyi took out "Danjie", Longyu was still extremely shocked.
It is quite normal that there are no other prescriptions for pills in the palace.
After thinking for a while, the little celestial master immediately said: "Your Majesty, if the Hunyuan Pill is useless by then, what should we do next?"
In "Dan Jie", there are indeed records of several other elixirs other than Hunyuan Dan.
But the problem is that the effect of these pills is almost the same as that of Hunyuan pill.
Even if it is refined, it will not be of much use to those above the fifth rank of martial arts.
In the final analysis, other better medicines must be used.
But at this time, after hearing the words of the little celestial master, Wei Yunyi was only silent for a while, and then said: "Now I haven't reached the breaking point yet, the Hunyuan Pill is still useful, so we should refine the Hunyuan Pill first." Bar."
For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time. After all, there is no better way now.
The little celestial master hesitated at this time, and then said: "Actually, your majesty, in my Dragon and Tiger Mountain, there are also many pills and prescriptions that can assist in cultivation. , is also very effective.”
"If Your Majesty is willing, after breaking through, I can refine this kind of elixir for Your Majesty."
After saying this, Arowana lowered his head and stopped talking.
The reason why she was able to concoct alchemy for the current Majesty without any scruples was also very simple.
The prescriptions of those pills were all provided by the other party, and various refining methods were clearly recorded on them.
Even if something goes wrong during the refining process, it's not because of me, but because of Dan Fang.
As long as it wasn't that His Majesty took it and damaged his body.
That's totally fine.
But now, Long Yu is talking about Dan Fang other than "Dan Jie".
It is said that it is in Longhu Mountain, but besides her, who can be sure?
It's impossible, just ask someone from Longhu Mountain to verify it, right?
Therefore, when the little celestial master proposed this idea, he was very apprehensive, lest this majesty would doubt himself, and thus implicate the entire Longhu Mountain.
Unexpectedly, when Wei Yunyi heard it, his eyes lit up immediately.
He had decided to figure out his own way in this matter.
But now.
But the other party can take out the elixir from Longhu Mountain and refine stronger elixir.
This is a bit unexpected, after all, Wei Yunyi also knows the virtues of the hermit sect very well.
If you use the power in your hands to directly let them choose to hand over the alchemy room, it will be a very difficult thing, and it is possible that they will not get anything in the end.
That's why, he knew that Longhushan had the alchemy room he wanted, but he didn't have a reason to do it.
Now this little celestial master can speak out on his own initiative, which really surprises him.
However, Wei Yunyi still opened his mouth and said: "As far as I know, Longhu Mountain is an outside sect with little contact with the outside world, and Dan Fang is the most important among them. You just took it out like this for Aren't I afraid of breaking the rules when I practice alchemy?"
"Report to Your Majesty." Longyu first smiled when he heard the words, and then said: "Your Majesty is willing to repair Longhu Mountain, which means that His Majesty is also a person who respects Taoism. Your Majesty should practice alchemy."
"Furthermore, this minister is only making alchemy for His Majesty according to the method in the alchemy formula, and has not handed over the alchemy formula."
"So, it's not a violation of Longhu Mountain's rules."
This sentence made Wei Yunyi happy.
At the same time, he felt that the national teacher he had just appointed had a quick mind.
Of course, what he didn't expect was that the repair of Longhu Mountain was just to add some burden to the court, but he didn't expect that it would bring about such a result.
Not bad!
At this point in his thoughts, Wei Yunyi didn't say much, and immediately said: "That's it, after I break through the border, I will ask the national teacher."
"This is what a humble minister should do, Your Majesty doesn't have to!"
After hearing this, Arowana bowed immediately, and said hurriedly, as if a little flattered.
Although he is an outsider, but this reluctant one is the real lord of the Central Plains, above tens of thousands of people, holding the divine weapon of the country in his hand.
As for Wei Yunyi, he didn't say much, just nodded.
It has not yet broken through to the fifth rank of martial arts.
So for the time being, we should focus on refining Hunyuan Pill first.
I can rely on these to allow my cultivation to increase again.
Immediately, he didn't say much, and after staying in Danfang for a while, he left.
There are no major issues recently, and there is no need to worry about it. Wei Yunyi asked whether he could use this time to increase his strength again.
This is also good for breaking through in one fell swoop after taking the Hunyuan Pill next time.
So after leaving the alchemy room.
He went directly to the sleeping hall and retreated again.
Anyway, it has already been over for a month, and the matter of the memorial will be handled by Concubine Ying, so I don't need to do it myself.
At the same time, Wang Jin also returned to the East Factory after seeing that there was nothing wrong.
Because today's imperial meeting has already let him know.
The evils of the former royal family are ready to move.
The pirates in the coastal area are trying to go ashore, and the situation can be said to be quite critical.
What Wang Jin considers is that the current navy is not considered powerful. Although there are generals like Zhao Jiguang, it may be difficult to defeat the pirates with one sentence.
Therefore, the information transmission of Dongchang must be done well, at least to make this battle smoother.
After all, this battle is related to the lives of some coastal people, and it is also related to the court's face.
So after returning to Dongchang.
Wang Jin ordered directly.
Any news about the coastal areas, the crimes of the former royal family, and pirates, no matter how big or small, or the slightest clues, must be reported in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, in this process, East Factory's intelligence and naval forces contributed so that they could make more preparations for this battle.
Before that, Wang Jin had transferred the elites of the East Factory from various regions, and all of them entered Haizhou.
While monitoring the people from the Baiyimen, they also collected more information along the way.
In this way, several days passed.
There is more and more information about the coastal areas, and it is becoming more and more complicated.
The Baiyimen and the remnants of the former royal family also seemed to know that their side was being watched, so they acted more secretly and deliberately spread some false news.
The purpose of doing this is to confuse Da Wei's line of sight.
They are very clear, if it is simply a competition of hard power.
Even if all the troops from both sides are added up, they are not Wei's opponent, and only by winning by surprise can they have a chance.
Especially the remnants of the former royal family, now they have mobilized most of the pirates, eyeing the coastal areas of the Great Wei, and from time to time ordered their people to rob those fishing boats going to sea.
For several days in a row, there have been several bloody incidents at sea.
Even if the navy side, under Zhao Jiguang's order, monitors various places, the sea is really too big, and it is impossible to take care of all aspects.
In desperation, the navy, together with the Haizhou government, directly issued an order to ban the sea, in order to prevent those fishermen from going out to sea.
Of course, they also know that many people rely on the sea to eat. If the sea is banned, many people will not be able to eat.
In order to solve this matter, Zhao Jiguang ordered again.
The military pay of the sailors is used to buy various daily necessities for the fishermen.
Because he knew very well that the war would start soon.
In order to reduce losses and protect the safety of the people, this method can only be used.
As for the navy, there is actually no big opinion on this.
After all, they haven't fulfilled their responsibilities over the years.
Now that he has the opportunity to make up for it, he naturally won't say anything more.
In this way, the coastal area of Great Wei entered a period of strangely calm days.
There are no fishermen or pirates, only sailors patrolling day and night.In order to cooperate with the navy, the coastal governments have also made various measures to strictly guard and patrol.
The coastline of Great Wei is too vast, and if we rely solely on the strength of the navy, it is impossible to patrol all of them.
Only the cooperation between the coastal prefectures will do.
But even so.
It is also very difficult to fully grasp the traces of the pirates and the remnants of the former royal family.
Because on the second day after the coastal governments banned the sea, a large number of pirate ships disappeared, and they disappeared in the vast sea.
Even the island that was previously occupied by the remnants of the royal family was gone.
The Navy executives know.
Perhaps in the near future, the war will begin, this is the calm before the storm.
At this moment, the Haizhou Navy camp.
Zhao Jiguang was dressed in military uniform, and his eyes were fixed on the chart in front of him.
Behind him, the commanders of the navy also frowned, chatting from time to time.
Although the main camp of the Great Wei Navy is in Haizhou, there are also garrisons in other places, the purpose is to defend against sudden pirate attacks.
And now, all the commanders have gathered. As for the reason, everyone knows that in the near future, there will be a big war in the coastal area.
So Zhao Jiguang summoned them to deal with this big battle.
But now the biggest problem.
It is because they clearly know that the pirates and the remnants of the former royal family are about to launch a war.
But they don't know where the opponent will attack from.
If it's on land, that's okay.
Places are undoubtedly sieges, so there are places to refer to.
But the pirates come from the sea, and the coastline is so big, if you want to clearly grasp the enemy's whereabouts, it is more difficult than going to the sky.
That's why Zhao Jiguang looked at the chart at this time and guessed the opponent's target in this battle.
But just relying on guesswork is almost tantamount to luck.
"Do you guys have any ideas?"
In desperation, he turned his head to look at the leaders present and asked their opinions.
After all, these people have been dealing with pirates for some years, and it is still unknown if they may get some news from them.
It's just that the commanders present all lowered their heads after hearing the words. The meaning was very obvious, that is, they really didn't know where the great war would take place.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Jiguang knew that it would be impossible to rely on these people.
He was very speechless, thinking could it be just luck?
But if so.
What to do in case of bad luck.
The enemy landed from an unknown place and attacked without the navy's knowledge?
At that time, it may take some time to mobilize troops, and during this time, how many people will the pirates kill?
At this moment, Zhao Jiguang was very helpless and didn't know how to show his favor.
But at this time.
A sailor soldier suddenly walked into the tent, then knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the general, there are suddenly two people who claim to be Dongchang outside asking to see you!"
