Chapter 565 Landing on the Island (Part 1)

"Have you found out any information about the queen?" Jiang Li asked again.

Mingzhu said, "The Queen rarely appears in public, so there are no portraits of her among the people. But..."

A strange look appeared on his face. "It is said that this queen is keen on selecting a concubine for the emperor. In just one year, she held three large-scale selections!"

"From nobles to commoners, all women of marriageable age, as long as they were even slightly pretty, were chosen to enter the palace. This caused considerable resentment among the people."

Mingzhu wondered, "I don't know whether it was chosen for the Emperor or for that monster..."

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "It's probably chosen for the Emperor."

She told Mingzhu the contents of the secret message in the bottle.

When Mingzhu heard the emperor crying and complaining that he was forced by the monster to favor his concubines every day so that they would give birth to more children for her to devour, she couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for him.

After all, he is the ruler of a country, but he is treated like that...

Xie Changan said, "So, the intelligence we collected is consistent with the contents of the secret letter."

"Yes."

Jiang Li nodded, "Based on this information, it can be basically confirmed that the Queen of Japan is most likely Chu Feixue who is possessed by the soul-sucking insect!"

Xie Changan and Mingzhu had no objection to this.

Jiang Li concluded that it was unlikely that the distress message in the bottle was a trap.

However, they cannot let their guard down and must be prepared to have a good balance in everything.

The three of them discussed carefully for a long time and formulated two sets of battle plans.

"Mingzhu, send someone to inform Yuan Shouhe that the emperor has issued a secret order for the Fujian Navy to be ready to attack Japan and be on standby at all times."

"Yes!" Mingzhu responded solemnly.

"Also, you select an elite team and lurk along the coast of Japan, ready to meet us. The rest of the personnel will be reinforcements at any time."

Mingzhu was surprised: "Little fairy, you and the general are going to the island?"

It seems that they are planning to go deep into the enemy's rear alone!

"Yes, to avoid alerting the enemy, only the two of us can go to the island." Jiang Li said.

"Little fairy, this is too dangerous!"

Mingzhu disagreed, "You want to lead the Tianji Camp, and the general wants to lead the navy. How can you put yourself in danger?"

"That monster can control poisonous insects and is also skilled in formations. The palace is currently encircled by a very strict barrier. None of our spies can get in, not even birds can fly in!"

This means that if the two of them sneak into the palace and something unexpected happens, they will not be able to provide timely reinforcements!

Jiang Li smiled and said, "None of you can get in, so only the two of us can go."

"Do not worry."

She patted Mingzhu's shoulder and said, "We have flares with us. If the situation becomes urgent, we will fire them to have the Fujian Navy land on the island at full speed."

"it is good!"

Mingzhu said solemnly, "I will personally lead an elite force to meet the fairy and the general at the seaside."

"can."

Jiang Li nodded, "I feel more at ease with you leading the team."

The three of them discussed the details again, and Mingzhu took the order and left.

Longdan said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, what about me? Why don't you assign me any tasks?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Dandan, you have a mission. Your mission is to guard the Dragon Palace and be ready to pick us up at any time together with Mingzhu."

"Your mission is extremely important. It is the prerequisite and strong backing for the success of my plan!"

The dragon egg suddenly became happy. Yes, when the situation is critical, sister can teleport back to the Dragon Palace at any time!

Guarding the Dragon Palace for my sister is more important than anything else!

As for whether Jiang Li would abandon Xie Changan and teleport back by herself, it was not within his consideration.

Jiang Li asked Longdan to follow them into the study.

"Dandan, you have a more important task now - find us the most suitable landing site."

In the study, there is a map hanging on the wall. It was surveyed by the sea tribe team and the seabird scout team, and then detailed and drawn by the Fujian Navy.

The map is a bit rough, and many places only have terrain but no place names.

For mermaids and seabirds who cannot draw maps, being able to explore a map of this level is already very impressive.

Xie Changan said, "The divine palace that Mingzhu mentioned leads directly to the sea. Isn't that a good place for us to land?"

Jiang Li shook his head and pointed at the map. "Look, the shrine is on Kyushu Island, and Kyoto City is on Honshu Island. They are quite far apart."

She pointed to a sandbar on the map that looked like a "long bridge on the sea" and said, "Dandan, take a look. Can we move the Dragon Palace nearby?"

According to Mingzhu's information, this sandbar is like a natural bridge connecting the two sides of the bay, and local people call it the "Sky Bridge".

The most important thing is that this place is about two hundred miles away from Kyoto City where the emperor is located, making it the most suitable place for them to land.

Longdan looked at the map carefully. The sea area here is called "Whale Sea" and is connected to the East China Sea. Naturally, it is also under his jurisdiction.

"Sure. When do we leave?"

Jiang Li calculated the distance she and Xie Changan would have to walk, and said, "Let's set off as soon as it gets dark."

Soul-sucking insects can use poisonous insects to set up formations, but most insects do not have strong night vision and only rely on hearing or other senses to perceive the outside world. As long as they cover their entire body with spiritual consciousness, they can block the monitoring of the insect formation.

Therefore, nighttime is when the insect formation is weakest, and they can take advantage of this time to sneak into the palace.

"My lady's arrangement is excellent!" Xie Changan praised.

It was almost noon. The hardworking Xiao Teng prepared a simple meal of four dishes and a soup and invited Jiang Li and the others to have dinner.

When Mingzhu comes back, they can teleport the Dragon Palace to the Whale Sea and land through the "sky bridge".

The Royal Palace of Japan.

In the dark palace, the black jade floor shone with a cold light, crimson curtains hung down to the ground, dark patterns embroidered with gold thread were faintly visible in the dim light, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of requiem incense.

Chu Feixue was sitting in the middle, pressing her temples with a headache.

Although this body was refined into an immune to all poisons in the snake cave, it is only suitable for the soul-sucking worm's clone to possess. It is still a bit of a stretch for the soul-sucking worm itself.

That feeling is like wearing shoes that don't fit.

Chu Feixue was so upset that she had to light incense in the house every day to appease her violent soul.

At this time, a skinny fifty-year-old man was kneeling in front of her. He was Saito, the guardian elder of the Jiulian Sect.

"Have you arranged everything I asked you to do?"

Saito trembled timidly: "Master, I have ordered my disciples to set up a dragnet outside the shrine. The divine insects given by the Master are also lurking inside the shrine. If anyone sneaks in from the sea, they will never return!"

After Nan Xi's death, the saint Chu Feixue, whose body was occupied by the soul-sucking insect, naturally became the new leader of the Jiulian Sect.

"Very good." Chu Feixue smiled charmingly.

She was playing with a glass bottle in her hand, which was exactly the kind of drifting bottle that Mingzhu intercepted in the sea!

"He was able to hide from my poisonous insect and secretly send out information! You lowly humans, I underestimated him." Chu Feixue sneered.

Saito crawled on the ground tremblingly, not daring to move.

"But, I can just take advantage of your own strategy."

Chu Feixue stuck out her blood-red tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.

I wonder what Saito can catch with his tight net?

It would be best if we could catch a few mermaids. Mermaids must taste great.
