Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing Zhuge Chongguang's words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment.

Indeed, the plague in Daqian is getting worse and worse. Even the Imperial Guards they sent to Daqian have lost many men. They still don't know what the situation is like in Daqian.

Therefore, it is best not to attack Daqian rashly at this time. If the plague spreads to Daxia, who knows how much trouble will follow.

Now there is only one goal left, and that is the Great Wu Dynasty.

At this moment, Zhuge Chongguang continued, "The Great Wu Dynasty values ​​military strength and has the strongest military among the major dynasties. Although it is relatively difficult to destroy the entire Great Wu Dynasty, destroying the strongest Great Wu Dynasty at the beginning can still serve as a deterrent to other dynasties."

"Once the Great Wu is destroyed, when Your Majesty conquers other dynasties in the future, those dynasties will surely have no will to fight."

Lu Chen thought about it and realized that made sense. Even the strongest Great Wu had been destroyed, so Great Yue and Great Qian would definitely have to think twice about their own strength.

Lu Chen said, "Since that's the case, then let's follow the Grand Scholar's suggestion. I will first destroy Great Wu, and then Great Yue."

"After I have figured out the situation of the plague in the Great Qian Dynasty, I will send troops south."

Just then, a maid's voice rang out from outside, "Your Majesty, Commander Liang requests an audience!"

Upon seeing someone looking for Lu Chen, Zhuge Chongguang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, this old minister will take his leave."

Lu Chen said, "Grand Scholar, please don't rush. Let's hear what it is about."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhuge Chongguang sat down again. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon, Liang Zong entered the imperial study. "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen asked directly, "What is it?"

Liang Zong took out a letter and handed it directly to Lu Chen. "Your Majesty, the people we sent to Fengyin Island have returned. This is their investigation report written on Fengyin Island."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately took the letter from Liang Zong, opened the envelope, and began to read it carefully.

As Lu Chen read through the contents of the letter, his expression subtly changed.

The materials for the Cloud Piercing Bow and Cloud Piercing Arrow made by the Eighth Prince came from Fengyin Island, as did the God-Slaying Spear. Lu Chen had always suspected that there might be some high-level spaceships that had fallen from the world on Fengyin Island, so the first thing he did after unifying the Great Xia was to send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to Fengyin Island to investigate.

After investigating for so long, the Embroidered Uniform Guard finally had some news. Lu Chen browsed through the investigation report written by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He thought to himself, "It seems that what I thought was true. There really is a spaceship that fell from a world of advanced civilization on Fengyin Island."

However, the spaceship was enormous, and the materials used to build it were extremely sturdy, making it impossible to transport it to Yancheng.

If I want to see what that spaceship looks like, I'll have to go to Fengyin Island myself.

I don't know if that spaceship is fully functional or even operational.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly noticed some contents in the Jinyiwei investigation report. The Jinyiwei soldiers mentioned in the investigation report that the spaceship had many transparent windows, and they could see the situation inside through the windows from the outside.

The spaceship contained several rooms, all of which were very clean and tidy, as if someone regularly lived there.

Lu Chen was startled. Could there still be people living on that spaceship on Fengyin Island? If so, once that spaceship is operational, it might be carrying extremely terrifying weapons, which could potentially destroy the entire Great Xia with a single shot.

Lu Chen then said to Liang Zong, "Have the Imperial Guards keep a close watch on Fengyin Island. If there is anything unusual about that mysterious building, report it to me immediately!"

Liang Zong immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen waved his hand dismissively, "Go ahead and get busy!"

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

Liang Zong then left the Imperial Study. After Liang Zong left, Lu Chen directly handed the investigation report in his hand to Zhuge Chongguang.

"Grand Secretary, please also take a look at the contents above."

Zhuge Chongguang immediately caught the papers Lu Chen flew over. After reading the contents of the investigation report, Zhuge Chongguang was somewhat incredulous. He said, "Your Majesty, could that mysterious building be an object from outer space?"

Lu Chen did not answer immediately. He simply waved his hand, and the God-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand. Zhuge Chongguang was taken aback when he saw the strange weapon in Lu Chen's hand.

Zhuge Chongguang felt the immense pressure emanating from the God-Slaying Spear. He had a premonition that this strange weapon could kill him in an instant.

Lu Chen said, "This is the God-Slaying Spear. The late emperor originally wanted to use this weapon to kill my master, but unfortunately he suffered a backlash from the weapon. This weapon comes from that mysterious building on Fengyin Island."

Zhuge Chongguang said, "In that case, the mysterious building on Fengyin Island could indeed be an object from outer space."

At this point, Zhuge Chongguang's expression became more serious. He suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister has a conjecture that the plague in Daqian may also be related to extraterrestrial objects."

Zhuge Chongguang had lived in the Daqian Dynasty for a long time and was quite familiar with it. He had never heard of such a severe plague in Daqian before.

People in this era were not stupid. Although most people did not know the specifics of the plague, they did know some ways to prevent it, such as isolating all those who were sick and burning all the dead.

In the past, the Great Qian Dynasty had also experienced small-scale plagues. Not only the Great Qian Dynasty, but other dynasties had also experienced plagues, but these plagues were usually quelled within half a year at most.

The plague in Daqian has been raging for so long, and it is getting worse and worse. According to the information gathered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Daqian court has tried everything it can to seal off any place where the plague appears. But even so, it is completely unable to stop the spread of the plague.

Zhuge Chongguang felt that this plague was really strange. Despite the various obstacles imposed by the Daqian Dynasty, it was still able to spread to the entire dynasty. This plague was obviously different from previous plagues.

Since extraterrestrial objects have appeared on Fengyin Island, it is not impossible that extraterrestrial objects have appeared in the Great Qian Dynasty as well. It is very likely that the plague in the Great Qian Dynasty was brought by extraterrestrial objects.

Lu Chen was taken aback when he heard Zhuge Chongguang's guess.

Zhuge Chongguang's speculation is entirely possible. If it were just a common plague, the people of this world would have ways to deal with it. Moreover, he had already passed on some knowledge about plagues to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The Embroidered Uniform Guards that Liang Zong sent to investigate Daqian all knew what the plague was and how to prevent it. However, many of the Embroidered Uniform Guards who investigated Daqian still died without knowing why.

Either the Great Qian was caused by the Taiyin Goddess, or the Great Qian plague had another source; perhaps some extraterrestrial object really did fall into the Great Qian, bringing some deadly germs that caused the Great Qian to suffer such a devastating blow.

Regardless of whether there were any extraterrestrial objects within the Great Qian territory, this made Lu Chen feel a sense of urgency, since this world was not as safe as Lu Chen had previously thought.

Putting aside the possibility that this world may contain figures like the Taiyin Sect Master who fell from another world long ago, the powerful figures in the western misty region are also a huge threat to this world. Now, the things on Fengyin Island have been basically confirmed to be extraterrestrial objects, and the Great Qian Dynasty is also suspected to have extraterrestrial objects.

Thinking about it this way, there are probably quite a few extraterrestrial objects in this world, and the more Lu Chen thought about it, the more dangerous it seemed.

I must hurry up and unify the world.

After regaining his composure, Lu Chen said to Zhuge Chongguang, "Grand Scholar, I have decided to send troops to Dawu in three months. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhuge Chongguang thought for a moment and said, "With the resources around His Majesty, three months of preparation time is sufficient."

Lu Chen said, "Very well, then I will send troops to Da Wu three months from now!" (End of this chapter)
