"Grand Marshal, they are flying the flag of the Pacification Navy!"
On a huge Peach God Angry Whale Ship, the Fu Bo Army's commander, who was dressed in camel-colored clothes and had a purple gold crown on his head, had already seen Hong Yi's fleet from afar. The commander of the Bi An Battalion immediately came forward to report!
According to Da Qian etiquette, only Counts, Marquises, and Dukes could wear purple gold crowns. And those with pure gold crowns were Princes and Dukes. The Crown Prince sometimes wore a pure gold crown, sometimes a jade crown, while the Emperor wore a nine dragon crown.
This person was wearing a purple gold crown, obviously an Earl at the very least.
This person was the commander of the Fu Bo Army, Second Class Earl Cheng Yong, Xiao Tianyao.
"I saw it a long time ago, but why would the Pacification Navy's Sea Explorer have two Angry Whale Ships? And a Small Iron Wheel? You should know that the price of the Angry Whale Warship is priceless. This time, I received the order of the Marquis to come here and take one thousand strong Cloud Mist slaves, seven black demon qilin horses, three thousand black bone bows, all kinds of sabers and armors, and countless wolf skin cloaks to exchange for this warship. Even if we empty the Pacification Navy's military budget, it would still be difficult to buy such a ship. Why are there two of them? "
Fu Bo Army's Grand Marshal Xiao Tianyao asked curiously.
"Grand Marshal, have you forgotten that the Pacification Navy made a huge fortune by eliminating the Lost Bend pirates?" The commander of the Bi An Battalion, Luo Feng, reminded him without batting an eyelid.
"That's right. Although the Jing Navy suffered heavy casualties in the extermination of the five major islands of Bewitching Bend this time, and even Wei Taicang's son Wei Lei, who went to perform meritorious deeds, died, it is rumored that Yan Zhen also embezzled at least several hundred thousand taels of gold."
Xiao Tianyao let out a long sigh. "Order! Blow the horn, raise the red flag! Tell the Pacification Navy's Sea Explorer to stop their ships and come closer to me! I will personally question them! "
Luo Feng was stunned. "The Grand Marshal wants to control them?"
"Luo Feng, you really are a character!" Xiao Tian laughed: "I just gave this order and you already know what I want to do. This time, we are going out to sea under the emperor's secret edict to handle an important matter. Since they met Yan Zhen's Navy along the way, and they actually had the Peach God's Angry Whale Boat, they could use it. Aren't we short on food and water? With two Peach God warships, things will be much easier, and we can also complete His Majesty's task. "
"But if we just use Yan Zhen's ship …" Luo Feng hesitated.
"Humph! The fact that Yan Zhen had bought the Peach Deity Warship for several million taels of silver without even reporting it to the imperial court showed that it was clearly his personal wealth. Just this alone was enough for him to go to jail! It's not too much for me to use it a little to complete the emperor's task! "
Xiao Tian Yao said.
"That's true. Furthermore, Grand Marshal, we met one of Yan Zhen's trusted aides this time. It's a young man, and he's definitely on the ship. We can use him as the vanguard to attack Yun Meng's fleet." Luo Feng suddenly said.
He was talking about Hong Yi, the vanguard was cannon fodder.
"Oh? Of course we have to use him. According to the Da Qian Navy's laws, in case of emergency, even if it's a different army, a superior officer has the right to control his subordinates. Furthermore, Marquis gave me the emperor's edict, a token, and a dragon flag. I can be considered an imperial envoy acting on behalf of the emperor. Even if it's Yan Zhen himself, I have the right to control him! "
Xiao Tian Yao's eyes flashed …
"It's a pity that you've become a ghost immortal, so you can't plan for big things. Otherwise, I would have thought highly of you." Chan Yinsha suddenly sighed faintly.
Hong Yi's heart skipped a beat. He knew what Chan Yinsha meant by big things. Naturally, it was about the world being thrown into chaos. He wanted to rise up and fight for control of the world.
"We ghost immortals are free and unfettered. What do we need imperial power for? There's nothing good about being an emperor either. We have to work ourselves to death every day to govern the world. "Hong Yi casually said.
If it was in the past, when Chan Yinsha mentioned such treasonous words, Hong Yi would at least have to be careful and change the topic. But now, he didn't feel that it was inappropriate. Instead, he had no qualms about speaking formally.
"It's not like that. The people say that it's easy to cultivate in Six Doors. In fact, it's even easier to cultivate with imperial power! You don't understand. Imperial power, endless resources, life and death, as well as the world's righteousness and status. Just look at the Great Qian Dynasty's cultivation of martial arts and Daoist scriptures. With just a word, countless books and treasures would be sent to it for it to choose from! With just a word, the Daizen Temple, such a sacred place for cultivation would be wiped out immediately. From the perspective of Daoist practitioners like me, imperial power and the imperial court are the biggest sacred place in the world! Imperial power and the imperial court are the biggest sacred places in the world! But many Daoist sect leaders don't see through this. It's really laughable. "
Chan Yinsha chuckled.
Imperial power and the imperial court are the biggest sacred places for cultivation in the world!
Chan Yinsha's words were like a bolt of lightning that pierced through the darkness, completely waking up Hong Yi.
Hong Yi finally understood the thoughts of ghost immortals.
So that's how it is!
After jumping out of the shackles of humans and looking at the problem from a different perspective, it was actually this clear.
"That's right. Imperial power is the biggest sacred place for cultivation. Moreover, it's the orthodoxy of the world and the hearts of the people. With imperial power, it's easy for the country to cultivate. You're right. That's exactly how it is. If the imperial court wants to cultivate martial and Daoist scriptures, countless cultivation books will be sent to them. If the imperial court wants to wipe out the Daizen Temple, countless Daoist experts will fight and besiege it. "
The more Hong Yi thought about it, the more he felt that Chan Yinsha was right.
Suddenly, a thought arose in Hong Yi's mind. "Yinsha, do you think that the current Emperor is a ghost immortal? Logically speaking, since the imperial court cultivates the scriptures of the Dao of Creation, the Heavenly Book of Creation should not be inferior to the Supreme Alchemy Scripture. The Daizen Temple has the treasured scriptures of the past, present, and future. In addition, the Emperor has endless resources. What spiritual medicine can't he have? What treasures can't he get? With just an order from Fang Xiandao, the Sect Leader of the Righteous Sect will enter the palace to preach, and all the experts in the world will also have to go in to preach. Such power will pile up like a ghost immortal. Moreover, it's impossible for the Emperor not to cultivate. There are endless records of emperors cultivating the art of immortality in the history books. Even the wisest and most powerful emperor wants to be immortal. "
In the history books, even the wisest and most powerful emperor pursued immortality. As an emperor, when he sits on the throne, his first thought is definitely not about the prosperity of the world and the well-being of the people, but how to use his imperial power to make himself immortal and become an immortal.
Hong Yi knew the secret of the Da Qian imperial court. He didn't believe that an emperor who had the Heavenly Book of Creation and countless martial and dao scriptures wouldn't cultivate it.
Even with the sword of the Supreme Dao hanging in the air, he still had to cultivate it. This was like drinking wine when one is extremely thirsty.
Could it be that he was afraid of being assassinated by the Supreme Dao, so he could only watch helplessly and not cultivate the Peerless Scripture? Then he would be even more cowardly than a coward.
"Hong Xuanji … Supreme Dao … Da Qian imperial court … ghost immortal … immortality …"
All of a sudden, Hong Yi felt as though he had a vague clue connecting him together.
"The current Qian Emperor? He's not a simple character. Moreover, he has a good official like your father, who is his right-hand man. Just by looking at his methods, you can tell how powerful he is. "
Chan Yinsha said, "However, as powerful as he is, if he is a ghost immortal, he will be killed by the Monogatari sooner or later. When he dies, the world will gradually fall into chaos."
"Is that so? The rise and fall of the world really is in the hands of one person. It's a pity that this person isn't the emperor, but the Supreme Dao's sect leader. However, even with the Monogatari's powerful mystique, he still hasn't assassinated the emperor. This also shows that the Da Qian imperial court isn't as weak as it seems on the surface. "Hong Yi said.
Chi Zhuiyang, who was standing at the side, was listening as well. Suddenly, he was confused, "Logically speaking, Yun Meng, Huo Luo, and the other countries are so powerful. Their emperors also cultivate dao techniques. Why hasn't the Supreme Dao assassinated them? I know that when our king of Yun Meng was the crown prince, he was sent to the Xuantian Hall for secret training. "
"Those are just uncivilized barbarians. Naturally, they can't compare to the orthodox Divine Dao of Tianzhou." Hong Yi said without hesitation.
Since ancient times, the land had been known as the center of the earth, the birthplace of the Divine Dao. In ancient times, it was known as Tianzhou, meaning that it was a land that fell from the heavens. The ruler of this land was the true emperor, while the surrounding countries were just small tribes, uncivilized barbarians.
However, this was also the truth. Since ancient times, this land had been the most prosperous. All dao techniques and civilization were passed down from the people of this land.
"Eh? A ship has appeared? It's the Peach Deity's Angry Whale Warship! "
At this time, the sharp-eyed Chi Zhuiyang noticed the fleet of ships that appeared on the surface of the sea. They were speeding towards them.
"I thought it was a pirate. In this deep sea region, there are many more pirates than on the sea route from the Great Qian Dynasty to the Divine Wind Nation. However, since it's the Angry Whale God Peach Warship, it shouldn't be a pirate. It should be someone from the Divine Wind Nation, right? No, it's the flag of the Fubo Army? There's also our Da Qian official warship. "
The guillotine's eyes also saw the warship in the distance. As the flag fluttered, it looked majestic.
And at this time, from a fleet of warships in the distance, a fierce horn sound suddenly erupted. Three long and two short. It was the call to gather. At the same time, a red flag fluttered violently on the warship.
"General, this is the summon order from our Da Qian Navy's superior. Once the horn is sounded, all ships must listen to the order and quickly approach the superior's ship! Young Master, should we stop the ship or go over? Look at the flag hanging on the warship. It's the flag of the East Sea Fubo Army. Although he's not our direct superior, when there's an emergency battle at sea, according to the Da Qian military order, we have to listen to the command. "
At this time, the commander of the Green Battalion, Yang Yingming, walked onto the deck.
"It looks like they're coming for us."
Hong Yi's thoughts swept out and had long discovered who those ships were. However, his thoughts only gently blended into the sea breeze and swept past. He only heard a few words and discovered a few people. This was because in the Da Qian Navy, there were usually Taoist masters assisting them in battle to prevent evil arts. If his thoughts were too strong, it would be easy to be discovered.
"There's no need to approach them, and there's no need to stop the ship. This isn't an emergency battle. Their orders can't control us!" Hong Yi instructed. "Just slow down and let them come over. At this time, they're putting on airs in front of me?"
In the absence of an emergency battle, the other party had sounded the horn, raised the red flag, and summoned the ships of other armies to approach. This was obviously a method of putting on airs in the Da Qian officialdom.
If it was an urgent battle, Hong Yi would go over and lend a hand. But now, the sea was calm, and there was not even a ghost. If he was to be summoned, it would feel like he was being ordered around.
Hong Yi had just cultivated to become a ghost immortal and was preparing to roam the vast sea. Naturally, he wouldn't just listen to the other party's orders and approach them.
"But, Sir! The Fubo Army is the subordinate of the Champion Marquis. Their commander is the Second Earl. Whether it's his title or official position, he's higher than us. His title is even higher than our Grand Marshal Yan. If we don't listen to his orders and approach them, even Grand Marshal Yan won't be able to handle it. "
Yang Yingming hurriedly said, "The Champion Marquis has a grand reputation. Now, everything is approved. Even something as important as the appointment of the Inspector General has been approved by the Emperor. It's not wise to go against his capable subordinates."
"Yang Yingming, when the Green Battalion came, you've already changed your documents and become my private soldiers, right?" Hong Yi looked at Yang Yingming and suddenly said in a pleasant tone.
Yang Yingming looked at Hong Yi's gaze, then looked at the exquisite armor and rebar saber he was wearing that were worth hundreds of taels of silver. His thoughts had already changed, "Young Master, I understand."
Yang Yingming immediately changed the way he addressed Hong Yi. Originally, he called him General, but now he called him Young Master. Obviously, he understood the crux of the matter …
"Grand Marshal! When they heard the order, not only did they not stop the ship, but they continued to sail forward. They're really too daring! "
At this moment, a general came up to report the situation.
"Oh?" Xiao Tianyao's eyes flashed with fierceness. In the army, the most taboo thing was to disobey orders. However, he didn't do anything. Instead, he said coldly, "Hang the dragon flag bestowed by the Emperor! He's clearly an imperial envoy, but he still doesn't obey. This means that he's looking down on the majesty of our Emperor and plotting a rebellion! Even Yan Zhen has to kneel for such a crime! "
"Generals, get ready. Prepare the Thunder Fire Iron Cannon Carriage made by Fang Xiandao that the Emperor bestowed to Marquis's Firearms Camp!"
Xiao Tianyao chuckled.
The urgent horn sounded again.
At this moment, Hong Yi noticed that a bright yellow dragon flag had been hung on the Peach God's ship!
"Dragon flag!" Yang Yingming shouted, "Young Master, they have the identity of an imperial envoy! They're acting on behalf of the Emperor. If we don't go and welcome them, it'll be disrespectful! "
Once the dragon flag was hung, it was completely different. Even Wang Ye had to kneel.
The bright yellow dragon flag fluttered on the other party's ship. There was a faint sense of immense pressure, showing the supreme authority. The soldiers and sailors on Hong Yi's ship slowed down.
Even Mr. Zhou, Lélie, and the others looked at Hong Yi, waiting for his decision.
After all, no matter how powerful a person was, as long as he was a citizen of the Da Qian, he would have to think thrice before acting when he saw the Emperor's dragon flag.
