The unlucky county princess and the crown prince

The boundless Lingyun sea area, the sea and the blue sky connected, vast, sea and sky color, beautiful and spectacular.

The waves are as flat as a mirror, and the water is bright. A group of merchant ships are driving slowly on the sea. They are huge, with more than 20 ships. They are the caravan of Hongyun, the largest merchant in Qingzhou. This time, they are full of Donglan's goods and are ready to sell them overseas.

They have been sailing at sea for dozens of days, and will soon arrive at the island in front of them. After landing, they can get off the ship to have a rest and increase the supply by the way.

In the calm, I suddenly heard a sharp whistle. The sleepy old man changed his face and cried out, "brothers, there are pirates!"

Several big black ships appeared on the horizon in the distance, with terrifying pirate signs on the masts and sharp horns blowing, speeding towards the caravan.

As if the sea suddenly smelled the smell of killing, it suddenly became restless, and suddenly turned into a bloody battlefield. Screams, shouts, and grim laughter were heard all the time. Soon, the blood dyed the blue sea red.

Everything happened quickly and quickly. The sailors were not the opponents of the murderous pirates at all. In less than a quarter of an hour, the ship was covered with corpses and a river of blood. The pirates held up their bright butcher's knives and raised their voices to make a victory carnival.

————

"Mr. Wang, news is coming from the front that the caravan of Hongyun company has been attacked by pirates and the whole army has been destroyed." Chu Yao's face was eager, and the haze was heavy between his eyebrows.

Hundred Li Changqing's eye ground swings a trace of murderous spirit quickly, "who did it?"

"The Dragon subduing gang of boss an."

After the prince came to power, he strongly supported the merchants to do business overseas. On the one hand, they exchanged needed goods with each other; on the other hand, they made huge profits overseas. They could collect taxes to fill the national treasury and reduce the burden of the people.

Businesses all over the country cheered, which was a national policy beneficial to the country and the people. Unfortunately, the Lingyun sea area, the largest sea area in the world, was rife with pirates.

If you meet pirates, you will lose money or life. Although the road to overseas is golden, it is also full of crises and dangers.

The pirates in Lingyun sea area have been operating for many years, and their strength is strong. They have already become the climate. Donglan Navy is not their opponent. They have fought several times. They have not only been defeated many times, but even their warships have been robbed by pirates and become their booty.

When the news came to the court, the prince was furious. He dismissed the Navy chief and made up his mind to reorganize the Navy. However, he could not choose a general who could revitalize the Navy and defeat the pirates.

In fact, after the crown prince came to power, there was no lack of powerful and ambitious generals in the court. The problem was that pirates had a deep foundation, well-equipped, strong strength, and were familiar with the sea area and water. They were able to take advantage of the time and place to face the enemy. No one was sure that they would win.

When the ministers were at a loss, the king of Jiangxia, who returned to Beijing to report his work, stood up and said, "I am willing to go to Lingyun sea area."

As soon as this remark was made, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked. They only heard that the Jiangxia army was good at fighting on land, mountains and forests. They never heard that they were good at fighting on water?

However, the king of Jiangxia's awe inspiring style and powerful military power immediately reassured many people. He was a pillar of the imperial court, a trusted Minister of the crown prince, and a military genius who was invincible. He was the best person to kill pirates and protect the safety of merchant ships.

If it had been for someone else, I would have been totally criticized by all the civil and military officials. But king Jiang Xia was different. Just standing there was enough to let all the doubts and worries disappear.

A faint smile appeared on the prince's handsome face, praising: "Donglan has the king of Jiangxia, which is really the blessing of our Dynasty."

"The king of Jiangxia is loyal, awe inspiring and righteous. I admire him very much." A minister hastily echoed.

From the doubt just now to praise, but in an instant, looking around the world, only the king of Jiangxia has such legendary power.

Chu Yao has read a lot since he was a child. He is quite familiar with Lingyun sea area, and he has been fighting with Wang Ye for many years.

After arriving at Lingyun sea area, he soon found that the actual situation was more complicated and dangerous than he thought.

There are many pirate gangs. There are dozens of them, big and small. Among them, the Dragon subduing Gang headed by elder an, the Yunxiao Gang headed by young master Yunxiao, and the Zhenxiong Gang headed by Nie Zhenxiong are the most powerful.

The three gangs have the same strength. They stand on three legs, infiltrate each other, compete secretly, and have complicated relations.

There are not only pirate gangs, but also Japanese pirates. This is not only a paradise for wealth, but also a dangerous hell.

Although there are many contradictions among the three gangs, once they encounter a powerful foreign enemy, they can maintain amazing unity and unity in foreign affairs.

Several times, the navy was beaten to the ground and almost completely destroyed. It was demoralized and had no combat power.

The king of Jiangxia was ordered in the face of danger. Before he arrived, the news spread all over the Lingyun sea area. Hongyun commercial bank went out to sea at this time, but it didn't want to be hit head-on by the Dragon subduing Gang, and suffered heavy losses.

Chu Yao is thoughtful, "an elder brother can't wait to make a move. I'm afraid he just wants to give Wang Ye a bad impression."

At a loss what to do, this war has to tell the world, even if the Jiangxia king has the final say in Lingyun waters.

Bai Li Changqing's eyes were fixed on an island on the sea map. His voice did not fluctuate. He had the calmness of the general's wind and was calm in the face of danger. "What do you think?"

Chu Yao thought for a moment, "the three gangs almost controlled all the routes in Lingyun sea area. Other countries also wanted to eliminate these gangs, but almost all of them were destroyed. On the contrary, they grew other people's ambition and destroyed their prestige. Over time, the pirates in Lingyun sea area became more rampant. It was not that they didn't want to, but that their strength was too wide, and there was almost no chance of winning."

Baili Changqing said, "pirates and Japanese pirates, there are tens of thousands of people, Lingyun sea area across the five countries, the vast area, want to completely eliminate, is impossible, what's more, even if it is really eliminated, there will be new sea forces, repeated, never exhausted."

Chu Yao suddenly realized, "the way of a strategist is to attack the enemy, then to attack the enemy, and then to attack the enemy. The former Navy always aimed at attacking the city, so they were defeated many times. Does the king mean to recruit them? But it's not easy. "

The three gangs are powerful and have formed the rudiment of the maritime empire. Now, the navy of any country is not sure of winning if they want to fight with pirates. Besides, how can they easily accept the invitation and appeasement when they are free and happy?

"I didn't mean that!" Baili Changqing said, "however, since you come to Lingyun sea area, you won't come back in vain. The Dragon subduing gang has already sent me such a big gift. Naturally, I can't let him down."

"However, the general has checked the equipment and number of the Navy. If he goes out rashly now, I'm afraid he has no chance of winning!"

He has followed the Lord for many years and won countless battles. But this time, even Chu Yao felt that it was difficult. He used to be on the land and in the mountains, and there were too many factors to decide whether to win or lose. Now on the sea, the victory of the war is closely related to the firmness of the warship and the water quality of the soldiers. The warships of the navy are almost a pile of scrap metal, and many of them are called Marines, which are actually dry ducks, Even survival in the water is a problem, not to mention underwater combat. It's hard for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice. Going to war at this time is tantamount to death.

"Who said I was going to fight?" Even Chu Yao could not guess his intention.

"Is that

"In the name of my king, I'd like to invite Yunxiao and Nie Zhenxiong. I'm going to hold a banquet on Lingyun island for the two guild leaders."

Lingyun island is a bustling Island, located in the middle of the Lingyun sea area. Chu Yao understood that the Prince wanted to break up the alliance of the three gangs, and immediately said: "absolutely not. Lingyun island is the territory of the three gangs, and the prince must not risk alone."

"If you don't go into the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's son?" Hundred Li Changqing did not agree, "only in Lingyun Island banquet, in order to show the sincerity of the king."

"Old man an is heavily in blood and debt. Young master Yunxiao is cruel and ruthless, and Nie Zhenxiong is even more murderous. These three people commit all kinds of crimes. Please forgive me that they will not be able to obey the orders, which will put the king in danger."

This time, the opponent is different from before. Although the Jiangxia army is invincible, the navy is not their strong point, and it is impossible to train the navy who has little combat power into a brave and good at fighting at sea in a short time. Chu Yao never thought that the Lord's tactic was to set up a grand gate banquet in the pirate's territory?

Baili Changqing, holding a long sword, uttered Qingyue Longyin in the wind and said, "Chu Yao, do you think there are more people who died in the hands of our king or those three people?"

Chu Yao was stunned, almost speechless, but immediately said: "that's different..."

"So they should be afraid of the king!" Bai Li Chang Qing's lips curved with a cold smile, interrupted Chu Yao's words and said, "go to arrange it!"

Chu Yao knew that Wang Ye always spoke like a mountain. He only got the way: "I will obey you!"

After sending the post, Chu Yao always felt uneasy, and Lin Guiyuan came to report the military situation.

Lin Guiyuan volunteered to go to Lingyun sea area this time. After three years of training in the army, Lin Guiyuan has lost his impetuousness, and his eyebrows are stained with the demeanor of an iron soldier.

As paranoia and fierceness faded, Lin Guiyuan's talent gradually came to the surface and was more and more valued in the army.

When he learned that the prince was going to Lingyun island to entertain Yunxiao and Nie Zhenxiong, Lin Guiyuan said decidedly, "no, as the old saying goes, if you can go up the mountain, don't go down to the sea, these pirates are the only ones who can do whatever they want. Let alone the prince, even his highness, they dare to do it."

"But the Lord has made up his mind. We can't change our opposition any more!" Chu Yao's brow was very worried. When he went to Lingyun Island, there were many dangers. Although they all came from blood and fire, he always had an ominous premonition.

"Up to now, there is only one person who can stop the Lord!" Lin Guiyuan thought of the princess. He knew that the prince's cousin had the courage to go out of danger, but it was too dangerous to act rashly.

Did Chu Yao not think of it? He immediately shook his head and said, "it's too late. The princess will come here as soon as she receives the news. It will take four days, but the prince will hold a banquet on Lingyun island in three days."

Lin Guiyuan's heart is clear, "it seems that the prince has already included everything, and he doesn't give time for the princess to stop."

"Anyway, let the princess know." Chu Yao said firmly that even if he violated the military regulations, he would do so. "Since the Lord has made up his mind, what we have to do is how to ensure the absolute safety of the Lord."

Lin Guiyuan pondered: "Wang Ye only sends posts to Yunxiao and Nie Zhenxiong. When elder an learns the news, he will be furious. If I'm not wrong, he will come uninvited."

"The Lord will naturally think of this." Chu Yao nodded: "take this opportunity to meet the three pirate leaders on the sea for a while, and you will know yourself and your enemy."

Wang Ye said that it's not brave or stupid to meet the tough when the strength is far inferior to that of human beings. If you want to open a sky in the Lingyun sea area with many hidden reefs, you must take an unusual road.

Sure enough, the news that the king of Jiangxia invited Mr. Yunxiao and Nie Zhenxiong to the banquet spread all over the Lingyun sea area.

The God of war, who thought that he would be appointed as a new official, did not fight, but entertained the guests instead? What the hell is going on?

try fair means before resorting to force?

Set up the enchanting array?

Even lengtouqing knows that Lingyun island is the territory of the pirates. Let alone a king of Jiangxia, the emperor Lao Tzu is here. It's easy to let him go.

The king of Jiangxia, is he so confused that he wants to hold a banquet in the pirate's territory?

What's more, it's obvious that there are three gangs, but only two gangs are entertained. All fools can see that they want to alienate the relationship between the three gangs. How could such a low-level trick come from the famous King of Jiangxia? It's kind of weird.

If a stone stirs up a thousand waves, the small headmen are asking for news everywhere, and the people of the three gangs can't sit still.

The elder an of the Dragon subduing gang was furious when he heard the news. He was a fat man with a beard and fierce eyes. He was a fearsome pirate leader in Lingyun sea area.

"Bai Li Chang Qing, don't you pay attention to my elder brother an?" Mr. an was appreciating all kinds of spoils snatched from Hongyun commercial bank, gritting his teeth and saying, "who can bear it, who can't bear it!"

A clever minion quickly said: "don't worry, boss. Now it's all over the world. King Jiangxia is not strong enough. It's peace seeking. We've just robbed the goods of Hongyun company. He only banquets the East and West. I'm afraid he wants to unite them to deal with our Dragon subduing gang."

"He thinks so well!" An elder brother claps a case and rises, "if that small white face and surname Nie dare face to face a set, behind a set, I an elder brother will never let them go."

Xiao Bai Lian, he said, is the Yunxiao boy of Yunxiao gang. At a young age, he made Yunxiao Gang one of the three major gangs on the sea. He doesn't look like the rough, crazy and tough gang of elder an. Therefore, elder an usually looks down on Yunxiao boy and calls him Xiao Bai Lian.
