Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

After An Chen and Xu Zhen arrived at the village, they asked Sima Zhan to deliver the bombs and guns that had been manufactured to the Sima military camp as soon as possible. At the same time, they also ordered the training of 1000 special forces so that they could be ready to march to Western Shu at any time.

After properly handling the affairs of Longxia Town, An Chen and his party set out on the journey home with the only surviving grandson of the royal family.

During the flight, a man in black was in charge of guiding the direction, and the plane eventually flew directly over the palace. As the distance got closer and closer, the leader felt his heartbeat speed up and he almost suffocated.

When they looked down, they found something unusual in the palace. The man in black observed for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the king has met with an accident. You see so many doctors gathered outside his bedroom."

The leader frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, can we land directly in that yard?"

After a brief thought, An Chen replied, "Okay, but you have to pay attention. It seems that a large number of guards are coming this way. They are probably coming for us."

The man in black patted his chest and assured: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as we are here, we will definitely ensure your safety!"

The plane had just landed and before it had time to catch its breath, a group of people surrounded it like a tide. These people were dressed in black and had solemn expressions. They surrounded the plane layer by layer, making it impossible to get out.

One of the men in black quickly showed the token on his body. After the leader of the guards carefully identified it, he waved his hand and asked the other guards to retreat.

Then, the man in black whispered something in the ear of the chief guard. The chief guard's face changed slightly, and he immediately led the group of men in black into the king's bedroom. He ordered all the outsiders in the palace to be cleared out, leaving only the king's personal steward.

The head of the guards came to the gate master, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and said: "Your Highness, I am the captain of the Dragon Guard, Long Yi, and I and Yingzi are both the king's light and dark guards. Yingzi has been ordered to go find you, and I have been ordered to stay in the palace. Now the king is in danger of death, and I beg Your Highness to help save him!"

The sect leader frowned and responded, "I am not a doctor, how can I help?"

Long Yi quickly explained: "Since Your Highness has already understood his own life experience, he must also know something about the totem. Since you have already awakened the totem, you naturally have the ability to use the power of the dragon to save the monarch!"

Upon hearing this, the sect leader nodded thoughtfully, but still asked doubtfully: "How should we do it specifically?"

Long Yi turned to look at An Chen and Xu Zhen who came with him, and said firmly: "This is Nanzhao's top secret, I hope you two will step aside for the time being."

Sect Master: "No need, they are the Goddess and King Chen. Now the Goddess is my master, there is nothing to be shy about. You all saw the helicopter we took when we came here, right? That is the Goddess's magic weapon. With her here, the monarch may be more likely to get better. So, tell me what I should do?"

Long Yi: "Greetings to the goddess, greetings to the prince, I am unaware of this, and I am sorry for the offense! Sect Master, please follow me over here."

After entering the inner hall, one can see an old man with white hair lying on the bed, while his personal steward is standing by his side with a nervous look on his face.

I have to say that the sect leader and the old man's faces are indeed 70% similar.

Long Yi: "Your Highness, you only need to use the blood from your own totem to awaken the totem on His Majesty's body."

Sect leader: "It's so simple? Then why are you like this?"

Long Yi said solemnly: "This will use up the last bit of divine power contained in the dragon ball. Perhaps from now on, this totem will completely disappear, and the guardian god we believe in in Nanzhao may also disappear. Originally, the monarch did not agree to do this, but now he has fallen into a coma and cannot express his opinion, so whether to continue is up to you, Your Highness!"

The sect leader responded without hesitation: "Why should we hesitate? Now that I am following the master, what kind of artifact have I not seen? The Dragon Ball has protected us for hundreds of years. In the future, let us rely on our own strength to protect it."

After saying this, the sect leader quickly took out a sharp dagger and gently scratched the totem position on his arm, instantly making a deep cut. Before the steward beside him could come to his senses, Long Yi had already caught the blood in the bowl and smeared it on the monarch's arm.

Not long after, an amazing scene appeared - the totem on the monarch's arm gradually emerged, and slowly emitted a dazzling golden light; at the same time, the totem on the sect leader's arm also flashed golden light.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came, the totem on the master's arm disappeared, and the golden light dissipated. At this time, the monarch slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

The master breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the bed tiredly. His eyes fell on the pale face of the king, and mixed emotions surged in his heart.

The king slowly sat up and looked at the master, tears flashing in his eyes. "Child...thank you."

The master shook his head. "This is what I should do. How do you feel now?"

The monarch took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Much better. But...what on earth is going on? Why can you save me? You, you are my grandson? Child, you are finally back!"

The master briefly recounted his experiences and his encounter with the goddess. The king was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

"I see... It seems that all this is destined. It's just hard for your father, who died at such a young age... It's my fault that I didn't protect him well. Child, your grandfather's health is failing, and you're back just in time. From today on, you are the new king of Nanzhao. I hope you can lead Nanzhao to overcome this crisis."

The sect leader nodded his head firmly and said, "Grandfather, I am now a minister under the goddess, with heavy responsibilities and many things to do. But you can rest assured, with the goddess's blessing, you will be able to recover as before! I just don't know what the current situation is? How did Nanzhao end up in such a situation?"

The king sighed deeply, his face showing sorrow, and he spoke slowly: "Alas, since your father took you away, Nanzhao has fallen into chaos. All forces are eyeing the throne, fighting endlessly, causing the people to suffer terribly.

The land of Western Shu is mountainous, narrow, and food is scarce. They have long coveted Nanzhao and wanted to take it for themselves. Taking advantage of the domestic turmoil, they colluded with the treacherous officials in the court, raised troops and invaded the border, hoping to take the opportunity to annex Nanzhao.

Fortunately, your father's painstakingly trained army held the border and resisted the invasion of the enemy, which gave me the opportunity to rectify the government and eliminate the rebellion. After more than two years, I finally cleaned up the court and caught those traitors.

It is because of this that I lost contact with you and your father. My child, it is great that you can return safely! Now that I am getting older, I am no longer able to deal with these complicated and trivial matters. Fortunately, you are finally back, child, and Grandfather believes that with your ability, you can revive Nanzhao.

However, the most urgent task is to resolve the threat from Xishu. They have been eyeing our territory for a long time, and have launched attacks repeatedly recently. So you must gather the army as soon as possible and prepare to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. In addition, Long Yi and others will also fully assist you. "

The master's eyes became sharp, and he said, "Grandfather, please rest assured. The prince and princess will definitely help with the chaos on the border, but it is still up to grandfather to personally take action to rectify the court. Grandfather, please don't worry too much. What my grandson means is that I am still young and have never been involved in court affairs. I am afraid it will be difficult to get started in a short period of time."

The king said with a guilty conscience: "It's all because of your grandfather. You and your son have been wandering outside for 10 to 20 years without a single day of peace. Now that Nanzhao is in trouble, you are asked to come back and shoulder this heavy responsibility."

The sect leader quickly said, "Grandfather, don't say that. You are also trying to protect us. Oh, by the way, my father also left a notebook. He never blamed you."

The monarch took his son's notebook with trembling hands, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He stroked the notebook and choked up as he said, "Son, it was your father who failed to protect you. Your father has harmed you. Wuu ...

Seeing this, the sect master quickly comforted him, "Grandfather, your health is important, please don't be too sad. The prince and princess are still sitting here, please rest for a while, and then arrange for someone to introduce the current situation to us."

Hearing this, the king calmed down a little. He looked at the master with relief, his eyes full of love, "Good boy, it's no big deal. In the final analysis, it's because the people of West Shu saw that my Nanzhao had no heir, so they dared to be so presumptuous. Now that you are back, and with the help of the goddess, I feel more at ease. Long Yi, you can go with His Highness, and there is no need to hide anything."

Long Yi clasped his fists and replied respectfully, "Yes, sir!" He then turned around, his eyes fell on the Sect Master, An Chen, and Xu Zhen, and said, "Your Highness, Prince and Princess, please follow me."

Afterwards, the four of them came to the meeting room together. After entering the room, An Chen said solemnly that the current situation in Nanzhao was quite urgent. He thought that Long Yi should first make a detailed report on the current situation. As for other matters, they could be discussed in detail later when there was time.

The sect leader nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with An Chen. He looked at Long Yi and said softly, "Since your Highness said so, please first introduce the current situation. As for the rest, you can tell me one by one when you have free time."

Long Yi accepted the order and nodded in response, "Yes, Your Highness. Just a month ago, Xishu sent a full 100,000 troops to raid our border. And our troops guarding the border are only more than 50,000. Although we have temporarily resisted the fierce attack of the enemy, if this continues, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on for a long time. In addition, there are serious problems with the supply of food and grass in the country, which has greatly hit the morale of the soldiers."

An Chen frowned upon hearing this and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "We must find a way to solve the problem of insufficient food supply as soon as possible. At the same time, we need to strengthen the overall strength of the defenders."

Xu Zhen suggested: "We can send people to other countries to seek assistance."

The sect leader nodded slightly, expressing his approval, "This is indeed a brilliant plan. Long Yi, you need to carefully select some envoys who are sharp-witted and capable, and then have them go to the surrounding countries to ask for assistance."

Long Yi cast a puzzled look at the three people in front of him, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, aren't the prince and princess of Anguo here? Then why do we have to seek help from other countries?"

The sect leader raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile, and explained: "You should also know that they are all the princes and princesses of Anguo. If we don't take the initiative to ask for help, how can they legitimately help us?"

After hearing this, Long Yi slapped his forehead as if waking up from a dream, and responded with admiration: "Your Highness is really resourceful! Nanzhao is saved now! I will immediately arrange personnel and go to Anguo with great fanfare to request support."

"Of course, we can't just wait passively. According to the information reported by the spies, the current situation in Western Shu is also tense, and the struggle between the monarch and the crown prince has reached a fever pitch. Therefore, it is difficult to determine whose command the reinforcements will obey." An Chen turned his head to look at the sect leader and suggested in a firm tone, "We'd better go to Western Shu in person and investigate the actual situation in depth."

The sect master gazed at them with gratitude and said sincerely: "Thank you for your concern, my lord and princess, but it would be too dangerous for you to go there in person."

Xu Zhen said confidently, "You don't have to worry about this. Just stay here and help your grandfather deal with some problems. Try to delay the Western Shu army as much as possible. We will find out the situation over there as soon as possible, and it won't be too late to beat him up then!"

The sect master nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, I will follow your arrangements. With your support, I believe Nanzhao will be able to overcome this difficulty smoothly."

An Chen and Xu Zhen thought about it for a while and decided to leave for Xishu the next day. They discussed a detailed action plan with the sect leader and also formulated a variety of strategies to deal with various possible situations.

Xu Zhen then instructed: "People in the village, prepare some homemade bombs and muskets. Sima Zhan prepared some for you after hearing about your situation. In addition, I will give you some food. Find some reliable people to distribute them, but no matter what happens, you must first ensure your own safety."

The leader was extremely grateful, and knowing the powerful power of these weapons, he was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the black-clothed men and Long Yi and other close confidants to closely guard the weapons, and quietly taught them how to use them correctly. The food was directly placed in the king's private vault for use.

Long Yi carefully planned his plan. He carefully arranged his men to disperse to every corner of the palace, like a tight net quietly spread out. Any disturbance could not escape his eyes and ears.
