Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Fakong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a gentle voice: "The court's ship is coming, we can take the opportunity to leave."

Zhou Xiang said: "The court's ship? The court's ship often comes here."

Fakong raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Zhou Xiang said in his heart: "Master, do you think the court doesn't know about this place?"

"..."Fakong frowned and thought.

Zhou Xiang said: "But the court's ship will leave when it comes, it is indeed our opportunity."

"The court has known about this Bitan Island for a long time?" Fakong pondered for a moment and asked in her heart: "Or is it that someone in the court knows, but not necessarily the court?"

"This..." Zhou Xiang thought about it and nodded gently: "Master, when you say that, I feel something is wrong."

"Huh?"

"It seems to be the same court ship all the time." Zhou Xiang said slowly.

Fakong smiled and shook his head gently.

The smile was full of inexplicable sarcasm.

Zhou Xiang said: "Master, is there anyone in the court colluding with Tianhai Sword Sect? So..."

She felt this vaguely and didn't think it through for a while.

Fakong said: "It may not be so. We should be more cautious and not make hasty judgments. Let's see how they react."

With his mind's eye, he could see the situation of the White Elephant Treasure Ship.

The White Elephant Treasure Ship was a large ship specially made by the court. The hull was cast in iron, heavy and solid, especially the bow had a long nose, which looked like an elephant's nose.

This long nose has two functions, one is to hit the opposite ship, and the other is to get into the opponent's ship through this nose.

In this way, during the boarding battle, you can avoid the opponent's interception and attack halfway and avoid casualties.

More importantly, the sound of the horn becomes high and bright through the expansion of this nose, and can be heard far away on the sea.

At this time, there were six middle-aged men standing on the White Elephant Treasure Ship, all with solemn faces.

Four of them were wearing armor, which looked like pieces of fish scales, flashing cold light in the sun.

The other two middle-aged men wore swords at their waists.

A middle-aged man in armor said in a deep voice: "Brother Mo, this matter is not a trivial matter, don't take it lightly!"

Another middle-aged man in armor said in a deep voice: "The court has issued an order, which means that the court knows about Bitan Island, and there is also a map of Bitan Island. This is not something that ordinary people can have, right?"

The two middle-aged men with swords looked gloomy.

"Master Hu," a middle-aged man with a sword said slowly: "In our sect, there are not many people who know the location of Bitan Island. Only a few elders know the specific location."

"Brother Mo, what do you mean by this?"

"Master Hu, I'm afraid it's not our disciples who leaked the information about Bitan Island."

"Brother Mo, do you mean that there is a problem in my team?"

"...It's not impossible, right?"

"It's impossible!" Master Hu waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The brothers in my team are all my confidants, and they will never do such a thing."

"It's even more impossible for several elders in our sect."

"You don't have a secret spy sneaking in, right? Didn't you catch a leaker a while ago?"

"This disciple doesn't know the exact location of Bitan Island, so it can't be her."

"If there is one, there must be two. Maybe it's another secret spy."

"Lord Hu, this is impossible!"

"Ahem." A middle-aged man in armor coughed twice and shook his head, saying, "Let's investigate this slowly. The most urgent thing is the order of the court. The court asked us to occupy Bitan Island."

"Then occupy it."

"But..."

"Lord Hu, you just report that you have occupied it. It will take some time for the court to send someone to check it out?"

"Brother Mo, you haven't done it yet?"

"I'm afraid it won't be done in a short time."

"Could it be that we will end up making wedding clothes for the court?"

Everyone fell silent.

"I can only delay it for a month, no longer than that." The middle-aged man in armor shook his head and said, "I can't do anything."

"One month..." The middle-aged man surnamed Mo shook his head: "One month is absolutely impossible."

"Then give up." The middle-aged man surnamed Hu snorted: "It's a waste of effort after all!"

The middle-aged man surnamed Mo shook his head: "This is related to the future of our Tianhai Sword Sect. Give up? How is it possible!"

"Then what do you say we should do?" The middle-aged man surnamed Hu, Hu Junchi, said in a deep voice: "Do you want us to fight against the court?"

"I don't have to fight against the court, but we can go around the court and buy time." Mo Yaodong said lightly: "I believe Lord Hu has a way."

"I can't do it!" Hu Junchi waved his hand directly; "What can I do? Going against the court is to destroy yourself!"

Mo Yaodong smiled lightly.

He didn't think so.

The court has strong ships and strong soldiers, but the court needs to rely on the Tianhai Sword Sect on the sea. Without the Tianhai Sword Sect, the court's White Elephant Treasure Ship can't move an inch!

No matter how strong the ship is or how sharp the weapon is, it's useless.

"Then tell me, what method do you use?"

"You can report that you have occupied Bitan Island. When the court sends the second batch of troops, I will find a way to prevent them from coming."

"Brother Mo, don't do anything stupid!" Hu Junchi's face changed slightly.

He had heard the implication of Mo Yaodong's words.

This is to intercept the court's warships.

This is a high-handed act. I just coveted a little money. If I was investigated, I would at most lose my official position and go back to be a rich man. I don't want to lose my head.

"I won't do anything stupid, Lord Hu, don't worry." Mo Yaodong's gloomy face squeezed out a smile: "Please try to deal with it, Lord Hu."

"...Okay." Hu Junchi nodded with difficulty and sighed: "I'm on a pirate ship, and I can only go one way to the end."

Mo Yaodong smiled slightly: "Master Hu, you are joking. How can we go to the end? We are running towards the light."

"Light? Hey, I hope so." Hu Junchi shook his head.

The White Elephant Treasure Ship slowly approached the pier on the island, and then several people got off the ship and came to the island to take a few glances. Finally, Hu Junchi and his friends returned to the ship, while Mo Yaodong and his friends stayed.

Watching the White Elephant Treasure Ship slowly leave, Mo Yaodong narrowed his eyes slightly, and the middle-aged man who had been silent beside him whispered: "Senior Brother Mo, they..."

"Well, I really can't count on him. He has already given up." Mo Yaodong said lightly.

"Then I..." The middle-aged man pressed the scabbard.

Mo Yaodong shook his head: "It's still useful for the time being, and I can't do it... What's more, he is also on guard."

"What's the use of being on guard!" The middle-aged man was disdainful.

Mo Yaodong glanced at him and said lightly: "Junior Brother Li, you didn't see the realm of Lord Hu?"

"Is he still a grandmaster?"

"He is indeed not a grandmaster." Mo Yaodong shook his head and said: "But not being a grandmaster does not mean that you can't beat a grandmaster!"

He looked up at the distance, which was the north, and whispered: "Don't forget, he was born in Shenwu Mansion."

"Shenwu Mansion..." The middle-aged man's face changed slightly.

They are not so afraid of officials in the court, after all, they have enough confidence, but they have to be afraid of Shenwu Mansion.

Shenwu Mansion is very difficult to deal with.

Shenwu Mansion has a unique and strange identity.

They are both a department of the court and have the characteristics of a martial arts sect, combining both.

Shenwu Mansion disciples were killed, no matter whether the court pursues or not, Shenwu Mansion will never give up, and must take revenge.

"Let Yangguan Island and Liehuo Island move." Mo Yaodong said softly.

"Yes!" the middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Once the two islands move, the court's ships will never be able to get close to this side!"

"Stop for a while." Mo Yaodong nodded gently.

Three days later in the evening.

Zhou Xiang got off the white elephant treasure ship, entered the crowd silently, met with the Cantian Dao masters who came to meet him, and was escorted to Shenjing by them.

Fakong appeared in Li Ying's yard.

At this time, the sunset had not yet set, dyeing the small yard into a rose color.

Li Ying's white jade-like face seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge, beautiful and moving, with bright eyes, and whispered: "Thank you this time."

If it weren't for Fakong, no one could save Zhou Xiang this time, and Zhou Xiang would have been reincarnated at this time.

Fakong smiled: "Presenting that news, is it considered a great achievement this time?"

Li Ying nodded gently: "It is a great achievement."

"The court didn't know anything before?"

"According to Prince Duan, the court didn't have this news, but now it knows and attaches great importance to it." Li Ying said.

Fakong was thoughtful.

He was half-believing and half-doubting.

Because of the Kunshan Holy Church, he attached great importance to the court's secret spies.

Since Tianhai Sword Sect has secret spies from Dayong Dayun and Demon Sect, there is no reason that there are no secret spies from the court.

Did the secret spies not send this news?

It is possible that they didn't send it.

But it is more likely that they have sent it, and the court pretended not to know.

Bitan Island is now consuming a lot of energy, manpower and material resources of Tianhai Sword Sect.

And the progress is slow.

There is no progress, that is, the fruit is not ripe yet, of course there is no rush to pick it, it will save trouble and effort to pick it when the fruit is ripe.

From this action, it can be seen that the court does not know.

If the court knew about it before, why would it send warships now that it knows about it?

But Fakong thinks that the court sent the White Elephant Treasure Ship to cover up the fact that it knew about it before.

And it only sent one ship to handle the task.

This can not only cover up the fact that there are secret spies of the court in Tianhai Sword Sect, but also urge Tianhai Sword Sect to speed up and make progress as soon as possible.

If this is true, then the court is playing Tianhai Sword Sect with its fingers.

But it is also possible that Tianhai Sword Sect also knows that the court knows about it, and it is playing tricks on them and pretending not to know that the court knows about it.

In short, the two sides are playing mad and stupid, harboring ulterior motives, and scheming against each other.

Tianhai Sword Sect dares to fight with the court in such a secret battle, showing no weakness, and is full of confidence. It is obvious that it has made sufficient preparations and can withdraw from the inland at any time and enter the islands on the sea, thus forming a self-contained entity.

When Fakong thought of this, he felt a bit complicated.

Tianhai Sword Sect showed the unyielding spirit of the martial artists who would never yield to others, and accomplished what countless martial arts sects wanted to do but dared not to do.

Being independent, free from the control of the imperial court, how happy it is.

This is the real wonderful life.

Unfortunately, if they do this, the consequences will be borne by the Great Snow Mountain Sect and the Holy Church of Light, as well as the Demon Sect, the Six Paths, and other martial arts sects.

The imperial court will certainly be more wary of the sects, and the sects will be more wary of the imperial court, and the two sides will be more alienated.

If this continues, I am afraid both sides will suffer.

Fakong shook his head.

What he can do is very limited, and he doesn't want to say anything more.
