Li Cong wanted to take a look at various news on the mainland in recent times. They were all searched by the intelligence agency of the Cao Family Trading Company. Naturally, the first news was about the joint resistance to the Eastern Empire. The Northern Empire and the Western Empire

The empires are all very good and work hard. However, the Southern Empire seems to be a bit unkind. The killing god of the Southern Empire always causes some trouble for itself. His troops in the Southern Empire were actually killed.

The Southern Empire's army was surrounded. Nothing could happen, but there was no way to start training or anything like that. They were simply not part of the army, they were just like prisoners.

The Cao Family Trading Company has also had a series of communications with the God of Death and the Southern Empire government, but obviously the effect is not very good. Everyone up and down still does things the same way. The root reason is that they still feel that things are happening in the Eastern Empire.

It doesn’t have much to do with them. The Thunder Gate is now surrounded by Li Cong and it is impossible to come out. Now that they don’t have that crisis, naturally they don’t need to cooperate with the Cao Family Trading Company. Some of them

What he must be thinking about is how to weaken the Cao Family Trading Company. Regarding this matter, Prince Zheng has discussed this issue with the God of Death many times. Prince Zheng also sent news to Li Lai, asking him to have a good relationship with the God of Death.

Let's communicate, what they are doing now is related to the entire continent. If the people from the Southern Empire are not cooperative and the people from the Thunder Sect are allowed to go back, it will be terrible. All of this will be in vain.

Li Cong felt that he also needed to have a good communication with the people in the Southern Empire, but he didn't have any threats that he could handle now. The people in the Southern Empire might not call him that much, maybe they would still feel

He was afraid of them. He couldn't handle such a thing without communicating with them. If this was the case, Li Cong could simply let his fleet fight with the people of the Southern Empire first. If so, he might be able to receive more information.

As for the good effect, thinking of this, Li Cong has his own ideas. If the world is not in chaos, he can't fish in troubled waters. The rear of the Southern Empire is indeed a bit too quiet. It seems that he should put a little pressure on them. If the front and back

If you are restless, your own affairs may be solved very well.

The next news is about Wu Zuoxi from the Western Empire. This old friend of Li Cong has now been completely dismissed by the Emperor of the Western Empire. Of course, the treatment is still very good. When he came down, he got the title of a duke. The Western Empire

The emperor also hypocritically said that if this guy had a son, he would definitely be given a hereditary title. Now that he has no son, he can only give this guy a duke title. Of course, Wu Zuoxi certainly has it.

It's just that his son Li Cong kept it a secret for him, so no one knew about it. Wu Zuoxi had been in the court for such a long time, so he naturally knew what kind of words should be said and what shouldn't be said. If he was like this

If you tell me that you have a son later, it is estimated that your son will not see the sun tomorrow. The emperor may be the first person to do this. The reason why he is so good to me is that he has no son. It is impossible for him to do so.

He has made too many plans for his future. If he had it now, how could he be so kind to him?

People in the Western Empire have already said that Wu Zuoxi's son acted as the son of his family's housekeeper, arranged a coincidence for Wu Zuoxi to see, and then recognized him as his adopted son. Everything was revealed to the spies in the palace.

Yes, after that, Wu Zuoxi secretly sent a servant and the cook to a village outside the city. The palace recognized these two people as the child's biological parents. Although Wu Zuoxi's move was not very good.

Yes, but that’s all it takes to be able to follow him well after having a child. Who knew that a month later, the servant and the cook were poisoned to death, and the emperor of the Western Empire became even more convinced that the child belonged to these two people. The former

At that time, I thought that after such a long time, this old guy's heart was no longer as vicious as before. Now it seems that it is still the same as before. The Emperor of the Western Empire should quickly give this guy a title and let him go home and retire.

Well, anyway, it’s just a lifelong title, so it doesn’t mean anything. You’re a duke while you’re alive. After you die, you’re nothing.

Li Cong must be useful to Wu Zuoxi. With his current title of Duke, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Zuoxi to take up any position in his own business, but it is still very good to give Li Cong some advice. After all, Wu Zuoxi

His son came out because of Li Cong's affairs. Of course, this sentence cannot be misunderstood. It was Li Cong who contributed the medicine. If it were not for the thing Li Cong sent, it is estimated that this old guy would not have himself now.

's son.

When Wu Zuoxi retired from the court, there were two factions in the court. One faction was headed by Prince Zheng. They had plans for the entire empire. They didn't want people like Wu Zuoxi to leave like that. This guy

They should continue to stay within the imperial court, but another faction believes that the existence of Wu Zuoxi will seriously affect their way forward, so they want this old guy to go home quickly and retire, and not block everyone's way forward. In the end

The emperor still believed what these people said. They didn't want to continue this matter at all. It was better to go back. Wu Zuoxilai didn't want to be a dog-legger to the royal family anymore. In the end, he didn't get any benefits and was left with a bad reputation.

It's worth it, it's better to go home and retire.

People in the court and people at home and abroad had mixed feelings about Wu Zuoxi leaving the court. However, Li Cong was happy. His power was expanding day by day. If people like Wu Zuoxi were really loyal to the court,

If you want to expand your power in the future, it will not be a simple matter. It may make this matter very difficult, so it is better to go back. Of course, even if Li Cong loses his previous rights,

His attitude towards him is still the same as before. Four eighth-level warrior guards and a ninth-level monster guard are still following him. He is also very satisfied with this. At least with these people, it is impossible for his sons-in-law to go.

What annoys him are his sons-in-law. They didn’t think much of their old father-in-law before, but now they understand. They all think they have a lot of status. After your old father-in-law goes down, you will have no status at all.

.

There is also news from home. Several daughters-in-law are with Li. They are doing well and living a very comfortable life. Although Xiaohu did not follow them, Li Cong still came from the Warcraft Mountains.

They found a few powerful level 10 monsters to protect them. The combat capabilities of these guys are amazing. Of course, they are just little pets in their normal state. They will only show up when they are in danger. Otherwise,

The emergence of a level 10 Warcraft in human society is such huge news. Maybe the news about the King of Warcraft himself will be leaked.

Another news is that the eighteen ships of the naval fleet have been prepared. They have combined with thirty other ships to form a small fleet, which can basically go to sea for some activities. On Earth

It is not that Li Cong has never commanded a navy. Compared with the oceans here, the oceans on the earth are too small and incomparable. Therefore, Li Cong very much hopes that his fleet can compete with the enemy in such a fighting environment.

It was an overwhelming war. It happened that the people of the Southern Empire caused trouble, so he could just use the navy to deal with them. Li Cong chose the Egula County in the southern part of the Southern Empire as his target.

The status of Egula County City and Yunlan City in the Eastern Empire is incomparable. Although they are both cities by the sea, their fleets are everywhere on the oceans of the Eastern Empire. It can be said that it is a powerful navy.

, of course, it is only limited to this planet. The Southern Empire does not allow ordinary people to go into the water. In their view, if the people like those in the Eastern Empire go to the islands outside and establish themselves as kings, these days

There was no way around it, how could something like that happen, so they just allowed some small boats to operate offshore. Moreover, since the history of the mainland, there has never been any record of people in the south, so they just assumed that there were people on the sea.

Is there no one, Haiphong? Let’s forget it, this word doesn’t need to be recorded at all.

When Li Cong returned to the New World, the fleet was already ready. Xiao Ao also entered Li Cong's body and went into hibernation. After preparing things in Yunlan City, Li Cong began to order his small or small fleet.

Talk about a micro fleet.

There are 18 battleships, carrying more than 6,000 artillery pieces. The range of the artillery pieces has exceeded 8,000 meters due to modifications. The soldiers on the deck all use serial crossbows, which can also increase their combat effectiveness a lot. In addition,

Outside are the thirty transport ships following them. They all carry the artillery shells used by these warships, and the rest are nothing.

There are also twenty troop transport ships, carrying more than 10,000 soldiers on them. These people will be the main force for robbery in the future. Of course, now that they know their destination, each one of them can

They are all very scared. The total number of people is only 15,000. How can they seize the southern coastal counties? Isn't this a brain problem? Many officers have this question.

Of course, since Li had accumulated a lot of authority from his normal life, these guys were very trusting and would not ask at the beginning.

After the fleet left the port, Li Cong immediately ordered to sail at full speed, because it was impossible to meet anyone in this place. The nearest place from the Southern Empire was more than 1,000 kilometers away. If there were merchant ships from the Southern Empire, it would probably be there.

They are just pirates. Apart from them, it is impossible for anyone from the Southern Empire to come to this place.

However, Li Cong's luck was not very good. They encountered a storm as soon as they set out on the road. This was a bit unlucky for people who were dawdling at sea. Some soldiers were discussing whether it was their action this time.

The Dragon Prince was dissatisfied. Should they go back? The officers would definitely not get involved in these people's discussions. They also put a few noisy and very noisy soldiers in solitary confinement. This was the only way to get rid of them.

They all quieted down, otherwise we don’t know what would happen to these guys. These guys are just as likely to listen to the wind as they are, and it would be strange if they didn’t bring down the entire fleet.

After sailing all night, we have traveled about 700 kilometers. At this time, we need to be more vigilant. There are still 600 kilometers to go to Egula County. If we go further here, we may encounter their fishermen. After all, we are already here.

It belongs to the offshore area. Li Cong has already put the reconnaissance posts on each ship to work. In this era without satellites or radars, we can only rely on the eyes of those above. However, they still have many advantages over others.

That is, they all hold telescopes. This thing can clearly see things more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away. They can know where the enemy is in advance. The army can take advantage. They must also

They can all be occupied. As long as they find the enemy, they will definitely attack them directly.

"Fifteen ships were found, about fifty kilometers ahead. They are medium-sized ships. We can't visually detect their flags yet." Li Cong heard such a sound just as he came out. Damn, he is so lucky today.

A little bit more, I encountered a storm when I went out, and now I encountered a ship. This kind of thing is really uncommon. It is really good to have such a thing now. How did they come to this place? You need to know this location

There shouldn't be any ships.

Li reached the lookout post above in a single step, and he also stepped on it, flying even higher. Naturally, his eyes did not need telescopes, not to mention that it was really as they reported, far away

There is indeed such a fleet. It seems that they have nothing to do. The size of the ship is similar to Li Cong's. At present, Li Cong cannot see clearly and can only order the fleet to move forward.

, leaned over to see what was going on, and at the same time asked people to put away all the things that could expose the information on their side, otherwise it would not be a joke after being recognized, and the reputation.

After walking for another half an hour, it was obvious that the other fleet had also discovered Li Cong and the others. They had lowered all their sails and wanted to leave here at a faster speed, but at this time they wanted to

Leaving is not that simple. There is no favorable wind, their speed is not very fast, and the distance between them and Li Cong is getting closer and closer. If you don't have enough strength on the sea, don't follow others.

The fleet is too close, which is good for everyone, but Li Cong and the others are here to cause trouble. Naturally, they will not be afraid of this, and they immediately speed up and approach. The dozen or so ships over there immediately

Panic, it can be seen that they probably don't have any training in normal times, otherwise they would have taken measures long ago.

"Report, see clearly, there are combatants on their boat, not fishermen, they seem to be pirates." The checkpoint report above said. From this time, Li could also see the people above clearly. People in the Southern Empire usually pay great attention to it.

Nowadays, these people won't pay attention to their appearance or anything like that. There are only two possibilities, either they are fugitives or they are pirates.

Most people understand what pirates mean, but the fugitives are a little unclear. To put it bluntly, these people are people who conceal their registered residence. These people do not need to pay taxes, and their lives are not actually very good.

, but it’s still good to save a little bit, but if they are discovered, the consequences will definitely not be good. You are evading taxes, and the one who undercharges is the government. It would be evil if the court does not pursue you.

, so people who evade taxes will not end well in the end.

"Report, the ships in the middle seem to be different from them. They seem to be robbing others and we encountered them." Li Cong's observation skills are naturally not as good as those of these trained people.

They have already figured out what is going on. It turns out that these pirates were bumped into by them when they were doing business. It can only be said that you are unlucky. I am going to take advantage of them.

"Come closer, let's act like pirates for a while. No one is allowed to speak for a while. Your accents will be heard immediately. Let's see what they are about. If they are guilty of such heinous crimes, throw them away directly.
