Chapter 204: Strengthen the defense

The handover took more than three months, because Gu Du wanted to move the people. Since the two counties were returned to Lingguo, the migrants from Zeguo would have to move away again.

When he decided to sign the letter of state, Gu Du ordered Lan to build a big city in Xia and wrap it around, turning the two cities into two urns of the entire big city, but the houses must be built first for the purpose of relocating people.

Gu Du was worried about the Linghuang. The Linghuang used two passes to exchange two counties. At first glance, Zeguo took advantage, but in fact, the three passes could not be used to defend themselves and were far apart.

The Ling Emperor should think that Gu Du is the only threat in Zeguo. Gu Du occupies the northwest line, and one person can take care of one pass and two counties. However, if there are three passes, Gu Du will be unable to get a clone. If he fights again, as long as he uses troops in the two passes, Gu Du will be exhausted.

Therefore, Gu Du must build a city and cooperate with defense as soon as possible. Although there are natural dangers in the three passes, a large-scale construction will be carried out after the handover, otherwise the pass will be turned to the Ling Kingdom, so there will be no big difference between the relevant and non-connected.

In addition, after handing over the two counties, the northwest line will become empty, and cities and troops will be built after Sunset Pass.

I couldn't stop this busyness. In the middle of the year, Gu Du asked Di Qiuhan to go back to Danyuan Mountain, and brought Dongfang Xia Lan and his two daughters to his side, and took them wherever they went.

After changing the place twice, Dongfang Xia Lan came back and said angrily: "Are you tied me up?"

She didn't mention it, and Gu Du didn't say it. It would be better if she thought too much, but since she mentioned it, Gu Du asked, "Tell me the truth, do you want to go find Mo Xuan?"

Dongfang Xia Lan pursed her lips and Gu Du said, "As long as I can still control you, you don't want to go."

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "Prepare for the future."

Gu Du scolded: "Bad! The sea has been open for half a year. Are there any foreign enemies? You have to talk about it later? It happened five hundred years ago. Who knows what will happen now?"

Dongfang Xia Lan said angrily: "Didn't you encourage the emperor and Empress Xia to go at the beginning?"

Gu Du whispered: "They can go, but you can go."

Dongfang Xia Lan smiled and leaned into his arms. Gu Yan opened her hand and said, "Honey, hug."

Dongfang Xia Lan scolded: "What are you hugging me! I will kill you if I believe it or not!"

Gu Yan cried back, and Gu Jurui also cried.

Gu Du said to Dongfang Xia Lan with a laugh and cry: "What are you doing?"

Dongfang Xia Lan replied angrily: "I'm so annoying!"

The Ling Kingdom is also stepping up defense, building ships, training navy, building towers, and laying out bed crossbows and catapults.

Although the entire continent is surrounded by sea water, there are mountains in the north, and only the southeast is open. If there is an invasion of foreign enemies, it must come from the southeast.

The Ling Emperor was promoted to Chu Qin as a high priest, taking charge of sea defense and communicating with Zeguo. On the third day after Chu Qin was promoted, he called Cha Xiu to the Soul-Yuan Department.

After shutting away, Chu Qin looked at him and said, "You are a detailed work by Zeguo."

Cha Xiu argued: "Why did the high priest say this?"

Chu Qin said, "In Hu Xiaoshan, you conspired with Gu Du to lure me into the village. It's just that you underestimated the relationship between Gu Du and me, so you failed to succeed."

Cha Xiu said, "If you want to accuse me of sin, why not worry about it?"

Chu Qin said, "If I want to kill you, I don't have to call you alone. The two countries have signed a letter of nationality and it's time to form an alliance forever. You should go back."

Cha Xiu sneered, his eyes disdainful.

Chu Qin said: "There is something that should be made known to you. The high priest Zhong Qi is the eldest son of Zeguo Dongfang He. He poisoned Chu Shuting to death, forced Jin Lan and his son to death, and forced Gu Du to rebel. This time, in order to allow the two countries to sign a letter of nationality, he committed suicide in front of Gu Du in Zeguo's court."

Cha Xiu widened his eyes and looked at Chu Qin in shock. Chu Qin said again: "Do you know what Dongfang He said to me before he died?"

Cha Xiu looked suspicious, Chu Qin said, "Don't worry, he didn't identify you. He told me that he had been in Ling Kingdom for more than 20 years, and he should give Ling Emperor an explanation."

Cha Xiu felt guilty in his heart. How could he think the eldest prince betrayed him?

Chu Qin said, "Go back, you are not too old and can still get married and have children. Although you don't admit it, I believe you are a detailed work by Zeguo, and it is useless for you to stay here."

After pausing, Chu Qin said again: "You don't need to argue with me, because Gu Du, the emperor appointed me as the high priest. In this way, I still owe you three points of favor to the country, otherwise it would not be my turn to sit in this seat."

Cha Xiu lowered his head and pondered for a while. Chu Qin's meaning was very clear. He was the high priest. He said that whoever was a meticulous work was meticulous work, and even if it was not, he would have to be. Moreover, because of Gu Du's relationship, Linghuang probably only believed in Chu Qin now.

Cha Xiu bowed and said, "I'm going to say goodbye."

Chu Qin nodded and said, "I'm sorry to send it away."

In the late tea moon, I saw a large ship on the southeast coast, sailing straight towards the shore.

The soldiers on the watchtower sounded the horn, and the garrison general Hu Botong mobilized the army to prepare for war, the crossbow was wound and the catapult was loaded.

The ship was originally the size of a washbasin, but then it became larger and larger. It was about a hundred feet away from the shore, and it was similar to a tall building.

Hu Botong ordered: "Tail the stone!"

This distance is not reachable by the catapult. The purpose of the catapult is to warn. If you get closer, you must use force.

A piece of gravel threw into the sea, and someone waved his hand and shouted loudly on the bow of the boat. Hu Botong listened carefully, but he didn't know what the other party was shouting.

After five hundred years of sealing the sea, I had long since cut off my communication with the outside world, so of course I couldn't understand the other party's language.

However, the big ship began to turn its head, and the hull came across, then slowly stopped, and lowered a small boat from the side. There were three people on the boat, paddling towards the shore.

Hu Botongling said: "Let them dock!"

After a while, the boat approached the shore. The three people on the boat were all wearing black robes, and their appearance was nothing special. They were similar to the people on this continent, except that they were taller than ordinary people and had a burly figure.

The soldier held a spear and pulled a bow to the three of them. The three of them raised their hands, one of them was talking, holding his right hand, and pointing his left hand to his chest.

The soldiers pulled the boat, and someone else went up and took the three of them off the boat, and took them to Hu Botong.

The person who was talking was still talking, and at the same time he still raised his right hand and pointed his chest with his left hand.

Hu Botong nodded, and the man slowly took out a small bag from his arms, then squatted on the ground, opened the small bag, took out a pen and paper, and neatly wrote a line of Lingguo's words on the paper: We are not here to fight, we are here to make friends.

Hu Botong was quite surprised that he could not speak the words of Lingguo, but he could write the words of Lingguo.

Hu Botong asked, "How could you write the words of Lingguo?"
