Prince Duan was nearby and was the first to receive the news, so he rushed over in a hurry.
While ordering people to dispatch warships from the nearby Panshi Pass, he said, "Yue'er, why are you going to the sea? Anything that happens in the sea is already difficult to deal with."
The shadow guard who had just come over couldn't help but angrily said: "Our master is fine in Chang'an City, it was you who insisted on bringing her out!"
Prince Duan choked.
The attendant beside him shouted: "How dare you!"
That was Yan Shiyue's shadow guard leader Hengyi, his eyes were red and he refused to apologize.
Prince Duan asked, "What's the situation?"
Hengyi said, "We fished out seven bodies, but never...never saw the master."
They were drugged with an extremely powerful drug, and when they woke up, they had already been drifting on the sea for a day and a night.
But in fact, they could not estimate the time accurately at that time. It was only when they woke up one after another that they found that something was wrong.
...
...
There were many broken wreckages of ships on the sea. Not far away, half of a ship was burning, and only a black frame was left.
The two ships quickly separated, one to look for people on the spot, and the other to chase after the burning ship.
They found Wei Xin first.
Wei Xin was wearing women's Hu clothing, which made her very conspicuous. She was already dead when she was fished out.
The next one to be fished out was Jiahe.
In this way, seven or eight corpses were fished out one after another. Some had been eaten by fish and shrimp, and some had been blown to pieces by bombs. It was a horrible sight.
But no matter how they wandered around on the sea, they couldn't find Yan Shiyue.
At this time, another ship also intercepted a small boat. On the boat were two people who looked like followers and an old man in a long robe.
They captured him and brought him back. They tortured him severely on the sea. The follower was already a little dazed, so he confessed after a short while. They were from Goguryeo, and the old man in the long robe was the great magician An Zhengmin.
Their original intention was to attack the ship, then take advantage of the chaos to rescue Yan Shiyue from the sea, frame the Nanzhao Kingdom, and then take her back.
But unexpectedly, an accident happened.
Their cannon was bought from the Mobei Kingdom. They only had one cannon and had limited ammunition. They did not dare to try it too much, so they were not very proficient in using it.
It took a lot of effort to transport it to the ship, and it stayed on the sea for several days to pick up the great master.
Then the first bomb was fired according to the instructions of others, but the second bomb bounced back and blew up half of their ship. The remaining half caught fire.
No one on the boat escaped except the two of them, who fled with the great wizard. However, in the middle of the night, the sea began to surge for some unknown reason, and then forcibly sent them back, and no matter how hard they rowed, they could not move. It was not until the next day that they were able to row out again, and then they were caught.
As for Xiao Tangzhi, it is said that the great wizard used the magic of divine descent to guide her, just like the fake Tang Shiyue that day, which is why everything was so smooth.
However, because the boat was on fire, they were only concerned with escaping and had no idea where Yan Shiyue had gone.
The shadow guard sent people to Chang'an City to report the news and informed Prince Duan, and then they continued searching in the sea, but they did not find it after several days.
At this time, there is no other way but to add more manpower and continue the search.
Not finding it is the best news. As for the worst case scenario, no one dares to think about it.
A few days later, Huo Qijing personally led the Yulin Army to An County.
At this time, there were already several ships on the seashore, including new ships that were hastily built and warships that were urgently transferred from Panshi Pass.
Huo Qijing went to find the person from Goguryeo first.
The follower was still trembling with fear when he was brought up after such a long time, and said anxiously: "I really can't row! It seems that there is some force on the bottom of the sea grabbing the bottom of the boat! I tried my best to pull the boat back! No, it's not an illusion, it's real! We didn't even use oars, the boat was pulled back very fast, even the archmage couldn't control it! Then it pulled us back to the previous place, we could see that the boat was still burning, and the speed slowly slowed down, and then it floated to the side of the fire ship... The archmage said that we harmed the Queen of Fortune in Middle-earth, and the sea god was angry!"
Huo Qijing remained silent.
If there really is a sea god, can he punish the evildoers and save Yan Shiyue?
Maybe at this moment, she is on a small island, waiting for him to rescue her.
Huo Qijing took his men directly onto a warship and headed straight into the sea.
The consequences of this incident were more serious than anyone had expected.
Although the shrewd court officials did not say it, no one understood the seriousness of the matter better than them.
Apart from anything else, if Yan Shiyue was abducted by the enemy country, with just one Shenwei cannon, the advantage of Dayan’s border would be lost.
Besides, there are many, many other things.
These things appeared slowly day by day, and even they themselves had adapted to them and to the rhythm. However, it was not until this time that they discovered that these things were actually related to Yan Shiyue.
They couldn't imagine what would happen if these things reached neighboring countries.
Moreover, in Dayan, no one forced Yan Shiyue to do anything, but in neighboring countries, they would not be polite to her.
When the time comes and under severe torture, perhaps Yan Shiyue will take out much more than they imagined.
Just thinking about it makes me worried.
The atmosphere in the court was low every day, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the result, until the so-called "angry sea god" of Goguryeo was reported.
The wind direction changed upwards.
They gradually came to believe that Yan Shiyue must be dead... She was Empress Fu, so God punished the person who did it.
This result is much better than being abducted by a neighboring country.
Two voices gradually emerged in the court. One side expressed the need to conquer Goguryeo and seek justice, while the other side was more obscure, but gradually intensified.
In the later period, some civil officials even jointly wrote a letter to request Emperor Ming Yan to return to the throne... Because the current emperor is immoral, God took back Empress Fu!
In this atmosphere, a few days later, Emperor Chengsheng issued an edict, ordering Prince Xin to send troops to attack Goguryeo that day.
This time, there were rarely any pro-war or pro-peace factions. Everyone’s opinion was unanimous... fight!
All of everyone’s anger is focused on this one battle… What kind of wise person would go to so much trouble to set up such a situation?
They never thought about it. A tiny country like Goguryeo was not even as big as a state of Dayan. Even if they were given Fu Niangniang, what could they do? A three-year-old child holding a gold ingot, could they keep it?
Less than a month after the decree was issued, Goguryeo was destroyed. Faced with overwhelming firepower, Goguryeo was completely powerless to resist.
News came that the great master An Zhengmin committed suicide on the spot.
The fighting power of Dayan made other countries tremble with fear.
Emperor Chengsheng issued another decree, ordering him to personally lead an expedition to the Nanzhao Kingdom and invite the retired emperor back to preside over the government.
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as conforming to public opinion.
Hot weapons versus cold weapons, it also took less than a month to conquer the Nanzhao Kingdom. Just when the Nanzhao Kingdom was destroyed, the neighboring Karakhanid Khan opened its doors and courteously invited the Yan army to enter, requesting to be incorporated into the territory of Dayan.
Emperor Chengsheng ascended the throne to receive the ceremony, renamed Karakhan to Xizhou, appointed Jiang Henbie as the governor of Xizhou, and later built a highway in Xizhou and stationed officials there.
Without bloodshed, we conquered another country.
In the next battle, the Dayan army advanced into Mobei.
If Yan Shiyue knew that this little butterfly of hers had inexplicably become the opportunity for Great Yan to unify the world, she would definitely be stunned...
It is simply an unbearable burden on life. Should she change her name to Yan Yuanyuan?
