Like the Northern Qi Dynasty, "Nanyue" is just the name of the Central Plains Empire. The Nanyue court continued the ancient name of "Baiyue". Its jurisdiction ranged from Fuzhou to Jiaozhi in the east and stretched for more than 4,000 miles, but its terrain was narrow and long, occupying only the coastal line, and its actual territory was not large.

The Chen family in Nanyue had a long history. During the Spring and Autumn Period, they became the superior minister of the Central Plains State, and later they rose and fell. When they were at their most decline, they were just a county marquis in Nanyue.

Before Jiazi, the Song family and Jiang family fought for dominance in the world, and the Chen family took advantage of loopholes to pacify the princes of Baiyue, unify Baiyue, and even attacked the Xiangtan area. Unfortunately, with the capital to compete for the world, we met the general Xu Lie who was leading troops to attack Xiangyang.

Xu Lie looked back and saw: "Yohe, there are some savages here." Then he pushed his troops to Liuzhou, and Chen's dream of competing for the Central Plains was defeated.

Before Jiazi, it was said that it was a chaotic battle between the Three Kingdoms, but there were very few records of the battle with Nanyue. Basically, it was "breaking a certain place in a certain month and killing some enemies." The record was just like a record, and it was recorded in more detail by various messy poison calculations.

Although he had almost never won a victory against the Central Plains Empire, Nanyue was not as unbearable as the people of the Central Plains imagined. His military strength was similar to that of Su, Chu and Wei, and his financial resources were even stronger than that of King Su, who had eaten sand in the northwest. He lost every battle because the Central Plains dynasty was too strong, and no one who could fight for the world was good.

Now that the chaos has recurred, Dayue is divided into Dongyue and Xiyue, one country and two kings are like water and fire; the northern Qi has made a comeback and is eyeing the Central Plains.

The King of Wei, who was originally used to suppress Nanyue, had become Emperor Dongyue. All the heavy troops under his command were pulled back to fight against the Western Liang army. The Nanyue court, located at the corner of the world, naturally noticed the opportunity and began to expand its army greatly.

At the time of chaos in the world, taking advantage of the momentum and setting your eyes on the Central Plains, which are vast and vast, is the vision that every ruler should have. But at this time, it is not the monarch of Nanyue. The monarch of Nanyue Chen Jin, who was infected with a bad disease a few years ago, has not recovered from his madness and has been handed over to the second prince Chen Ju.

Chen Ju, the second prince of Nanyue, was neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son, and was not in theory qualified to interfere in political affairs. However, the eldest son died young, and Chen Ju's biological mother was once the first beauty in Nanyue, and Concubine Zhou, who became one of the eight masters.

Concubine Zhou died shortly after giving birth to the prince Chen Ju. Chen Jin fell in love with him and became extremely fond of his son. He even made all his grandfather from a poor family named Duke. After Chen Jin got sick, it was not surprising that Chen Ju was able to control the court with the assistance of his grandfather.

No matter how small Nanyue is, it is a serious country. Although the prosperity of the capital Yongzhou is not as good as Chang'an, it is much better than ordinary prefectures and counties.

In September, the capital of Nanyue is still in the summer. The streets and alleys are crowded with merchants from all over the world gather here, including those who come from the South Ocean to the sea. From the Western Regions, they pass by Suzhou, Hexi Corridor, Chang'an, Chu... The last stop of the tens of thousands of miles of business roads is also here.

At dusk, near Chaohuang Street outside the imperial city, the Duke of Anguo Mansion, a postman who had just rushed from another place, ran into the mansion and sent the message tube behind him.

The waiter who was waiting outside looked at the letter with the letter, then quickly came to the study room and knocked on the door.

The study room is neat and elegant, and looks no different from the residences of princes, generals and ministers in the Central Plains. The only difference is that there are three bird cages hanging at the window. The ones raised inside are not cuckoos and canaries that the rich and noble gentry like, but three black crows, standing quietly in the bird cage, looking at the staff coming in.

On the couch in the study, Zhou Qin, who is Duke An Guo, sits cross-legged with his eyes closed. His hair is gray and over fifty years old, but his skin is as fair as a baby, and his complexion is excellent.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Qin opened his eyes, returned to his normal sitting posture, picked up the teacup on the small table, and said calmly:

"Come in."

The door opened, the staff bowed and walked in, whispering:

"Duke Zhou, the spies outside sent news that Dayue's army in Yueyang suddenly gathered south and had passed Xiangtan. Dayue had no opponent south of Chu. This army is likely to be heading towards me Baiyue."

Chu and Nanyue were bordered by part of Nanyue, and there was no army of the four kings in the south. Twenty thousand Xiliang troops mobilized to the south, so it was impossible to hide it. It was not surprising that Nanyue could receive the news in time.

However, Da Yue can mobilize troops under his jurisdiction, and it hasn't been around Liuzhou yet, so it doesn't make sense for Nanyue to know about it.

Zhou Qin frowned slightly, raised his hand to take the letter, and glanced at him:

"I sent a letter of title to the Dayue court. I paid tribute every year in Baiyue. I also recognized the new king of Chang'an City as the lord of the world and deposed the King of Wei as a rebel thief in the country. Prince Su's army was so dispatched that our court was in vain. Let the Dayue court give us an explanation."

The staff nodded and thought for a little bit: "The Xu family of King Su has never been reasonable to beat people. Now they have become the regent. Emperor Dayue is only nine years old and cannot suppress King Su at all. If they really want to use military force against me, if they send me a letter of nationality, they will probably be left behind..."

Zhou Qin raised his hand and said, "Send it over first. Dayue is now rebelling in the east, and Northern Qi is entering the country. Even if we use troops to our dynasty, there will not be many people, so there are no need to worry."

The staff thought about it and thought that if the Dayue court started a war on three sides, there would be a left prince of the Northern Qi behind it. No matter how strong the Western Liang army was, it would not be possible to bloom on all sides. I guess they just noticed that Nanyue was recruiting soldiers and sent some soldiers to scare them.

Thinking of this, the staff did not say much and bowed and retreated.

After the door of the study closed, Zhou Qin's face disappeared, frowned slightly, and sat on the couch for a moment. Then he stood up, walked to the desk, wrote down a note, put it in a bamboo tube, and tied it to the leg of a black crow.

"Go to the Flying Seashed."

"Ga"

The black crow flew out of the bird cage, circled around the yard, and galloped towards the northern Liuzhou area... ——

In the Yanshan area, where Dayue and Nanyue junction.

At dusk, at the gate between Yanshan Mountain, the convoy and horse team were escorted by the escort agency. The officers and soldiers of South Vietnam stood at the city gate with weapons in hand, testing the identity of the people entering and leaving.

After Nanyue was almost pushed by Xu Lieping in front of Jiazi, he called him a minister to the Song family. Although they were wary of each other, they were not an enemy country on the surface, and they had close trade and had many merchants.

Because recently, Nanyue has captured men and served as military service, many people have gone out of the customs and ran to Dayue. The inspection of the checkpoint is more stringent than before. In the past, just a road guide is enough, but now we have to secretly stuff silver. Even so, there are still many more "caravans" out of the customs than in previous years.

Xu Buling stood not far from the gate, and even saw more than a dozen women, children, young and old escort a cart of bamboo out of the gate. The guard who collected the silver could not stand it. He even found a cloth to cover it and pretended to be goods before letting it go. Seeing this scene, Xu Buling shook his head secretly and saw the whole leopard. Just by looking at the military quality here, you can understand why Nanyue was blocked in the mountains and valleys.

Behind Xu Buling, Zhongli Jiujiu and Zhongli Chuchu stood together. Seeing the closing of the door when they came out, they all breathed a sigh of relief. There were Yuhe, Qingye and many royal guards next to them.

After spending the Mid-Autumn Festival on the building boat, the group rushed to Nanyue day and night, and had just arrived here.

Because he sneaked into Nanyue to deal with the village, he could easily lead to leaking his whereabouts, so Xu Buling was not easy to take care of it, so he only brought Jiujiu and Chuchu, who were born in Nanyue, to enter first. The remaining people stayed outside the pass and waited. If something went wrong, they could enter the pass directly to meet him. Liuzhou was dozens of miles away after closing, and the distance was not far.

Seeing the destination, Xu Buling turned around and whispered: "Nightinging, please find a place to stay first. I will enter the pass as soon as possible to avoid any trouble."

Nightingale nodded: "Young Master is careful all the way."

Ning Qingye stood beside him with a sword in his arms. He originally wanted to follow him to visit Chuchu's hometown together, but he didn't know the details when entering a foreign country. Too many people were really easy to attract attention. At this time, he just instructed:

"Chu Chu's martial arts skills are not good at doing anything, but she is more impulsive. You should protect her more."

The words are concerned, but they are obviously not very nice.

Zhongli Chuchu rolled her eyes and got used to Ning Qingye's style of speaking, and she thought it was all about caring about her.

Ning Yuhe stood beside Qingye, and was a little worried: "Ling'er, if you can't handle it, don't show off, and let the little sparrow come back to report the news immediately. Although there are no heroes in the martial arts world in the South Vietnamese, they are really cunning, and there are many masters with sinister tricks like the dead woman."

Zhongli Jiujiu cut it lightly and waved her hand: "Nanyue is my territory, you don't have to worry about it, just go back and rest."

Xu Buling chuckled. Seeing that it was almost dark, it was time to close the door, so he didn't say much. After saying goodbye to Yu Heqing at night, he took Master Zhongli and apprentice to close the door... ——

A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, three thousand words for a day...
