Chapter 205 Mysterious Sea
When the familiar manor building came into view, Meng Lie suddenly felt a sense of joy of going home. Yes, this is his home. Since he returned to the Eastern Continent, he has not even had time to take a good rest.
"elder brother--"
The cheers filled with joy came into his ears, and Anna's small figure, which already had the graceful curves of a girl, was flying towards her with a long skirt. At that moment, Meng Lie immediately jumped up from the back of the mount and shot to her.
"Haha, my little queen, I'm back."
He hugged Anna who threw herself into his arms. Meng Lie could even feel the trembling and sobbing of the girl in his arms. This made him feel a little sad and guilty. He left the familiar living environment and came alone to this strange East Continent. He had become the girl's spiritual sustenance, but he was not by her side for a long time. This guardian was indeed unqualified.
Yuannu and Lana Sesi stood a few meters away, and they looked excited and ecstatic. Yuannu couldn't help but burst into tears, wishing they could also throw themselves into their arms, but now Anna occupies the position that originally belonged to her.
"This hateful guy, he didn't say that there were other women in his family except Ying Lanyue and Sikong Juya."
Looking at the excited girls and Anna in Meng Lie's arms, Dugu Qihua's beautiful eyes, not far behind Meng Lie, suddenly narrowed: "This Western Continent golden silk cat looks only thirteen or fourteen years old. This fickle bastard doesn't even let go of such a young girl."
"Are you jealous or envious?"
Mei Shuanghan, beside Dugu Qihua, suddenly spoke. Her tone was still faint, but there was a hint of provocation: "I heard that you had left Lielang before, so it doesn't matter if you leave again. You should know Lielang's character. He was cruel and refused any girl who loved him. It is because of this that you have the chance, right? It's still time for you to leave now, so you can save the pain in the future."
"If you want to leave, you will leave."
Dugu Qihua snorted coldly: "Along the way, you will cause trouble for me if you have the chance. Don't think I don't know your plans! Humph, what is 'Aoxue Hanmei', what is the Ice Beauty, aren't you just taking revenge on me and keeping on guard against you? Tell you, even if Lielang has accepted you now, I will continue to stare at you, don't think about any other plans!"
While they were bickering against each other, Meng Lie had already pulled Anna with one hand and Yuannv with the other, and said as he walked, "Come on, I'll introduce you to two new sisters."
The girls all know Mei Shuanghan. After all, she almost killed their lives. However, they were not surprised that Meng Lie could bring her by her side. It seemed that when Mei Shuanghan was captured alive by Meng Lie, they had such a premonition. But Anna was lamenting that there was another sister who competed with her for her brother's love, and Yuannv felt a little resentful in her heart. Young Master, why do you always bring a new beautiful girl home every time you go out?
Young Master, how many mistresses do you want to find for Yuannv? Very literary
As for Lana Seth, she watched coldly, and she was already unable to worry about the romantic affairs of Lord Menglie.
=======================
"Father, that's what happened in detail."
In the palace, Ying Lanyue reported in detail the entire Hungarian incident to Ying Zhantian. From the attack on the manor by Arshazhu, Meng Lie began to pursue and talked about them until their return. Although Ying Zhantian already knew some things, Meng Lie's experience in the Hungarian grassland, especially his identity and identity in the White Deer Plain, he actually got an honorary shaman title. He still felt so excited that he could replace him.
"This Meng Lie is indeed worthy of being the son-in-law I like."
He gently licked the short beard under his jaw with his fingers, Ying Zhantian laughed proudly and agreed to the marriage between Meng Lie and Ying Lanyue. The main reason at the beginning was to consider the happiness of his daughter, and he also wanted to win over the Meng family. After all, Meng Liao personally came to propose marriage for his grandson, so he had to give the general Zhenguo some face, but now it seems that it is really a stroke of magic. He actually found such a magical husband for his daughter, which became his most proud thing.
"Aunt Aunt, in your opinion, what level has Meng Lie reached at present?"
Turning his head, Ying Zhantian asked Ying Yujie, and Ying Yujie frowned slightly and said, "I can't see through Meng Lie's strength. The power he has is completely different from ours and cannot be measured at all. However, judging from his record of defeating two great shamans, Gesangmeido and Arshazhu, he has the same strength as the peak of the real person."
"How old is this kid? This is so evil."
Ying Zhantian immediately hummed with some jealousy, thinking that Ying Zhantian has extremely excellent bloodline, countless resources and treasures for him to control at will, and has the best skills to practice. However, after practicing for decades, he is only at the basic level of a real person. This is also due to his extremely fast practice, and this kid... But this kid is his son-in-law, so he can take advantage of it no matter how he is counted.
"But then again, he has been back in Danyang for more than half a day, why didn't he come here to meet me? Is it so worthless to this kid, the emperor and father-in-law? If it were someone else, I would probably come over after I went home to take a shower, change clothes and eat."
While being proud, Ying Zhantian complained a little. His son-in-law was satisfied with him everywhere, but he was a little angry. Fortunately, according to the news he received, Meng Lie went there and couldn't come out as soon as he returned to the manor. He didn't come here, and he didn't go to the General's Mansion either. This made him feel a little more balanced, otherwise he wouldn't take him as the emperor seriously.
"He has a lot to deal with. Father, you know his situation..."
Although he knew that his father was not so scrupulous, Ying Lanyue couldn't help but defend his sweetheart. However, when Ying Zhantian saw that he was angry, he said, "Treasure of a daughter is indeed a money-lossing guy. You have not married yet, so you are thinking about that kid everywhere. You are really an outgoing girl, and your elbows are turning outwards."
"Father!"
Ying Lanyue couldn't help but feel shy, and Ying Zhantian said again: "I heard that this kid brought back two women, and they were all stunning beauties? Lanyue, you can't just spoil that kid. If this man spoiled, he won't take you seriously in the future."
"Father, before saying this, you should solve the problems of the noble concubines and dozens of concubines in the palace first."
Ying Lanyue said bluntly that in fact, one of the main reasons why she was able to accept Sikong Juya so generously, Dugu Qihua and Mei Shuanghan stayed with Meng Lie was that her father was taught by words and deeds. Ying Zhantian was the most romantic among the emperors of the Ying royal family, and his harem was very open. Fortunately, His Majesty, His Majesty, was extremely skilled and in good health, could not handle any major events even though the harem was large, but some small conflicts were inevitable. Now that his daughter said this, he obviously had no confidence.
Ying Yujie, who was standing beside him, burst into laughter, while Ying Zhantian could only look at his daughter who dared to joke about her father's harem. He could not get angry at his ancestors.
At this time, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door and stopped at the door. Since the Ying royal family had all had outstanding warriors, there was no need to make a sound when there was something to report. As long as the guards stood there, the people inside could hear it.
"Come in, is there anything?"
Without looking at Ying Zhantian, he knew that the person coming was one of his bodyguards, so he spoke, and a middle-aged man with a strong expression appeared at the door and saluted: "Your Majesty, the third-class Pingbo Commander Meng Lie is waiting for him to see him outside the palace."
"This Meng Lie is finally willing to come."
Ying Zhantian was excited and immediately straightened his posture on the seat with a golden sword, regaining the kingly aura of a great empire emperor, and said, "Let him come in."
Ying Lanyue posed there, thinking about how to face her son-in-law to give her a warning father. Out of consideration for her father's face, she didn't say anything this time.
But at the same time, she was a little confused. With Meng Lie's personality, if there were no important things, she wouldn't have come to the palace so early. Her Lie Man was very lazy. Without the summoning of her father, she would probably keep pretending to be stupid.
Meng Lie was brought here soon. Although he was a little unhappy with Ying Zhantian's very obvious attitude of "Come and kneel down and worship me quickly", he still bowed. Fortunately, the etiquette here is not like his hometown in ancient times. Even if he saw the emperor, he would not have to kneel down and kowtow. Otherwise, even if the emperor was his father-in-law, it would be difficult for him to do this.
"I said, Meng Lie, it's only been more than half a day since you came back. What are the beauties of all sizes who are not at home with you? What are they here to do?"
Ying Zhantian said a little sarcastically that he was really loving and angry about this future son-in-law. This little brat really thought that since I was a wise king, I would not care about these things. Be careful that I will show you my foolish king.
"Your Majesty, I must report to you something."
Meng Lie completely ignored the dissatisfaction in Ying Zhantian's words and opened a small roll in his hand. It was an extremely thin and soft piece of paper of unknown material, with lines and starry sky outlined on it, which looked very complicated.
"Hey, it seems to be a navigation chart commonly used by the people of the Western Mainland."
Ying Lanyue hurriedly walked up there, and she had a high price to buy a nautical chart from a merchant in the Western Continent. The nautical chart in the Western Continent is often used by some special stars in the night sky as direction indicators, and the style is very obvious.
"That's right, this is the navigation chart of the Western Continent. The person who drew this picture was Mei Shuanghan's father, that is the Duke of the Thunder Emperor of the Holy Sky Empire of the Western Continent. This picture has been hidden in the necklace locket he left for Mei Shuanghan."
Meng Lie put the navigation chart on the small table in front of Ying Zhantian and said, "Mei Shuanghan has no impression of her father, but Anna knows very well, because this Duke of Thunder Emperor is one of the great nobles in the Holy Qingkong Empire, and his Daffodil family is also one of the largest noble families in the Holy Qingkong Empire. According to the envoy of the Western Continent at that time in the White Deer Plain, the Daffodil family seems to be on the side of Princess Aureina. The key is that Duke of Thunder Emperor himself is one of the most famous great navigators in the Western Continent, otherwise he would not have crossed the distant seas to our East Continent."
"This chart depicts the sea route of the Duke of Thunder to our East Continent. I have asked Anna to translate the text above to me. If there is no error, the Duke of Thunder discovered a new continent during his voyage. At that time, he thought it was the Eastern Continent and stayed there for several months."
As he said that, his finger pointed to a pattern in the navigation chart. There were dense text records around the pattern. Obviously, the recorder was very concerned about it.
"A new continent?"
Ying Lanyue, Ying Zhantian and Ying Yujie were all a little surprised and confused, not understanding what Meng Lie said about this.
"When I was in the White Deer Plain of the Hunter, I received a news that Gordric, the usurper of the Holy Sky Empire, intends to form an alliance with the Huns, use the power of the Huns to help him eliminate Princess Aureina, pacify the country, and even unify the entire Western Continent. In return, he would send troops to help the Huns deal with me, Qin Song, and believe that both of them had reached a preliminary idea, so Mei Shuanghan and Alshazhu attacked Anna by the envoy of the Western Continent."
Meng Lie's eyes flashed, and his fingers lightly tapped the chart and continued: "I know this is a bit incredible. After all, the distance between the east and west continents is too far away. With current navigation technology, it is not realistic to transport troops on a large scale. But later I got another news, that is, the people of the Western Continent have discovered a new continent between the two continents, which can be used as a transfer station for troop transportation and a springboard. I was a little unsure at that time, but after seeing this navigation chart that can prove that the New Continent does exist, I think the people of the Western Continent are probably not lying."
After he said that, the room was silent. Ying Zhantian and the other two were staring at the navigation chart carefully, and their brows gradually frowned.
If all what Meng Lie said became reality, if the Huns could really get assistance from the Western Continent, it would definitely be a huge trouble for Qin Song.
"Don't you know how to calm down these damn Huns?"
Ying Zhantian smashed the table with annoyance and said, "I thought the twelve guardians of the country could effectively shock the Huns after they were refined, but now it seems that this is far from enough!"
"After all, there is the support of the Tongtian Witch behind the Huns. Even the Great Shura of Ten Earths cannot completely eliminate them, so these Huns are fearless and have been making small moves towards us over the years."
Ying Yujie also spread her hands and said, "It has been more than three hundred years since the last full-scale conflict between the two countries. A new generation of Hunters has also grown up. It seems that another large-scale war is inevitable, especially this time, the incidents of Menglie and the Great Asura Sect happened. If the Hunters can swallow this, they are not Hunters."
As she said that, she looked at Ying Zhantian: "Zhantian, issue a comprehensive mobilization order. I have experienced four comprehensive large-scale wars with the Huns. I know their personalities. They will definitely fight at will. We cannot be without preparation."
"Actually, based on the situation of the Hungarians over the years, I am also prepared. The military strength of the Mengzhan defense line has been constantly strengthening, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, but..."
Ying Zhantian frowned and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of in the war with the Huns. We have been used to fighting for thousands of years. With our current national strength, we can completely resist the enemy from the country and fight directly to his prairie. With the deterrence of the Great Shura, the Tongtian Witch dare not easily intervene in the war of mortals. But the problem is that if the collusion with the Western Continent can be achieved, then it is very likely that the Western Continent army will attack our rear and important places through sea routes. You also know the situation of Qin Song's coastal defense. Since the Huns did not have navies at all, our coastal defense is relatively weak. There is only a regular navy in Yingzhou, and other places have sea but no defenses. Even if we start expanding the army now, it is probably too late."
"The threat from the Western Continent should not be in a hurry. Even if the new continent really exists, large-scale transport of troops is very difficult. I have a deep understanding of the dangers of the great voyage, so we still have time to prepare for it."
Ying Lanyue also made his own inference: "Whether the Huns sent troops to the Western Continent or the Western Continent sent troops here, it took a long time, which gave us time and time to deal with it."
"And it will not be easy to send troops there. Not to mention that the Holy Sky Empire itself is just the largest human country in the Western Continent, far from being a unified unity like Qin Song, the usurpant Gordric has not yet fully controlled the country. Princess Aureina never gave up on resistance. Anna, the orthodox queen, is also here with us. If we can give Princess Aureina certain help, perhaps we can drag the usurpant army to the Western Continent so that they cannot help the Huns."
Ying Zhantian and Ying Yujie nodded in agreement with Ying Lanyue's inference, but Ying Lanyue was surprised to find that Meng Lie's expression suddenly became strange.
"Lie, what's wrong? Do I have any wrong judgment?"
Ying Lanyue quickly asked, but Meng Lie shook his head: "It's not your business, but my family, something happened there."
As he said that, he bent down to Ying Zhantian and Ying Yujie and said, "Your Majesty, senior, I will take my leave first."
Before Ying Zhantian could speak, Meng Lie held his hands in the void, and a stone with a strange rune emerged between his hands. Then layers of halos spread out from the stone, covering Meng Lie's body.
"Heartstone" skill, activated!
A flash of light Meng Lie's figure disappeared immediately, leaving Ying Lanyue and the other two looking at each other.
Chapter completed!
