Chapter 256: Whale cry
"Hey, it's started again." Jiang Xingze also heard the whale cry from the seaside. He took a few steps forward, pointed in the direction of the sea, and said strangely, "I used to follow that giant turtle all over the sea.
In the Great Sea, whales are not particularly rare, but there are Tianzhiya and Cangshao on the blue bottom of the sea, which have always been a gathering place for sea beasts. Coupled with the complex serpentine currents, giant whales are rarely found there.
But after I came back this time, I could hear this kind of whale call every night."
"When did it start?" Xiao Qianye asked vigilantly. According to his experience, there are indeed very few whales in Biluo Sea. After listening to this, Jiang Xingze thought about it seriously and replied, "Probably only a few days."
Before, this whale's call was strange, sometimes near and sometimes far away. I even went to the beach to see it, but I didn't see any whales coming or going."
"How many days ago?" Xiao Qianye's eyes were like lightning, like a cold light in the dark night. He calculated the time carefully and blurted out, "Is it what happened after Dongming was shattered?"
Jiang Xingze looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Well, it appeared at about that time. How did you know?"
Xiao Qianye didn't reply. He once again thought of the "Xuhai" that Di Zhong had mentioned to him before, and felt uneasy. At that time, he encountered the giant whale in Wudi Lake and thought it was incredible. Now, there are still whale sounds appearing in Biluo Sea.
?
If the Ruins Sea is somewhere deep in the foundation, will the fragmentation of the East Ming also affect that place?
Jiang Xingze saw that he seemed to know something and refused to tell him, so he simply didn't ask him any more questions, patted the other person's shoulder and smiled: "Okay, okay, don't worry about the whale. It's so late, go back and rest early.
Don’t you still want to bring gifts and run to the beach to see the whales? That can’t be done. The giant turtle was caught by the navy and detained on the shore. You might run into it now.
, it will be troublesome if there is another conflict and we are recognized."
As he said this, he immediately turned around and walked back along the original path, for fear that Xiao Qianye would run to the beach.
The two of them were walking with their own thoughts in mind. Before they could get out of this small street, suddenly a wind blew up around them, and then bright lightning struck from high in the sky, making the dilapidated city look even more depressing.
Xiao Qianye's eyes were as bright as a torch, and in an instant he caught a vague figure in the sudden lightning, with a vague dragon-like tail quickly disappearing in the clouds.
"Ah... is it going to rain again? Let's go quickly." Jiang Xingze tightened his clothes, but didn't notice anything unusual. He complained, "The weather in various places is very weird this year. Although North Bank City is not particularly cold, it does get cold from time to time.
A heavy rain will go away as quickly as it comes, so I have to wear rain gear whenever I want to go out recently, just in case."
He quickened his pace in front. Xiao Qianye frowned and looked at the undulating shadows in the clouds, not daring to move rashly.
Finally, he walked back to the main street. Although the wall lamps on both sides were dim, they could barely illuminate the road. Jiang Xingze took him to the side and whispered: "Now there are navy patrols at night, so be careful.
Don't be seen."
When Xiao Qianye heard this, he suddenly straightened his back and looked at him seriously, and said seriously, "Master Jiang, I want to ask you about someone. I have a subordinate named Zheng Fan who used to be the deputy general of the Garrison Pavilion Headquarters.
After the incident in North Shore City, I asked him to stay and help the Navy with the funeral arrangements. Unexpectedly, I encountered various sudden changes one after another, and I still have no time to ask about him. Is he still in the city, and has he been in trouble?"
"Zhengfan..." Jiang Xingze thought carefully in his mind and said suddenly, "Oh, you are talking about him, then you don't have to worry. He was forcibly transferred to the Navy by Marshal Baili, and he may not be on the North Bank at the moment.
City."
Xiao Qianye was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. Zhengfan was born in the wasteland and had no power, and he had always been the younger generation he was most optimistic about. With his current position, if Zhengfan continued to stay in the military pavilion, he would inevitably be killed.
Being plotted against, Marshal Baili must have seen early on that he might encounter something unexpected, so he transferred his people to the navy early. The navy's various tasks were to be carried out on voyages. Compared with the intrigues in Feiyuan,
, obviously it is safer at sea.
"I heard that he himself was quite unhappy, but Marshal Baili asked for him personally, so there is no reason why Your Majesty won't let him go." Jiang Xingze saw through Xiao Qianye's thoughts at once and smiled jokingly.
Shaking his head slightly, he pointed in the direction of the Navy Headquarters and sighed quietly, "Not long ago, Marshal Baili resigned from Emperor Tianzun and got permission. Now the affairs in the headquarters are managed by three deputy generals at the same time. Regarding the new Marshal,
The deployment order has not been issued yet, so I think he will probably be promoted as usual among the lieutenant generals in Sihai."
Xiao Qianye remained silent. Generals at all levels in the navy have clear requirements for their years of service. Even if the emperor intends to appoint them, they must have experience at sea before they can pass. It is precisely because of this strict standard that even the most powerful high-ranking officers must have
Even Narukawa failed to get involved in the appointment and transfer of the navy.
But right now, not only the marshal of the navy, but also the position of the governor of the Forbidden Army has been vacant. Is this because Mingxi is too busy to be distracted, or does he have other motives?
Jiang Xingze pushed him with his shoulder, covered his mouth and snickered: "So you must stop meddling in other people's business. There are no acquaintances in the Navy Headquarters now."
Xiao Qianye glared at him. It was obvious that Feng Mo had long known that Baili Feng was his adoptive father. Jiang Xingze pulled his sleeve and walked back impatiently toward the Xiao Qin Building, muttering.
He gave instructions: "It may take seven or eight days for the Fifth Princess and her entourage to arrive. It just so happens that you and Miss Yun have a good rest in these few days. His Majesty has arranged for a merchant ship to come over. It is from Mr. Luo's family business."
Yes, we have always had business dealings with the Central Plains. You can just follow the merchant ships when the time comes. If the weather is calm, you can reach the Central Plains in more than half a month. Then how to get to Kunlun depends on you."
Xiao Qianye was still thinking about the navy and the whales. After hearing what he said, he came back to his senses and said casually: "After arriving in the Central Plains, we can use sword control to go directly to Kunlun. We can also stop and find an inn to rest on our own.
It won't take long to go back, but if we take the fifth princess with us, it will probably take longer. We'll have to split up when the time comes, otherwise it will delay things for a long time."
Jiang Xingze didn't expect that he would actually answer his question. He was flattered and asked: "Is the sword control so fast?"
"Is it fast? In fact, I am not very proficient in sword control. I left Kunlun not long after I learned it, and I have never practiced it properly. Moreover, I basically stopped using it after Zheng Niao. If it were my master, he could still use it.
Come on more quickly, he crossed from Feiyuan to Biluo Sea and Nanhai, and probably won't need it for a whole day." Xiao Qianye smiled shyly, and he touched his waist out of habit, and then he remembered
Li Kongjian was left to Yun Qiushui, who was not with him at the moment, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Qianye had to turn to Gu Chen again and frowned.
Jiang Xingze was secretly speechless. Compared with flying on Feiyuan, which could only be carried by spirit beasts, sword control was obviously something he couldn't understand. However, the opponent did not carry a sword spirit at the moment, and the white Likong Sword was replaced by a slender one.
Jiang Xingze looked at the overly slender sword in his hand curiously. The scabbard was like a layer of faint black gold spiritual magic, which seemed to be dispersed by the breeze, but the sword kept pouring out from the hidden body, making him
With frightened strength, he took a deep breath, finally couldn't help but pointed at Gu Chen and asked curiously: "Is this the ancient knife nailed to the heart of nightmare in Xiao Yibai's mouth? Speaking of which... it is so long, you
Wouldn’t it be inconvenient to hold it all the time?”
When Xiao Qianye heard this, he smiled helplessly and replied: "It's inconvenient. I've always had trouble using it, and I can't lose it."
"Throw...throw it away?" Jiang Xingze looked at each other and hurriedly advised, "This is an artifact that can pin the Nightmare to where it can't be moved for thousands of years. How many people have asked for it but can't get it, and you are still here to dislike it."
"Ha..." Xiao Qianye smiled casually and didn't say much. The two returned to Xiao Qin Building and found that the light in Yun Xiao's room was still on. Jiang Xingze pursed his lips, knowing that it must be Hua Xiaoshuang again.
The little girl didn't know what to do and still pestered her. He took a deep breath and shouted a few words to the room on the top floor. Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Hua Xiaoshuang stumbled out of the room and walked along the ninth floor.
The stair handle slipped.
Xiao Qianye was a little surprised by this little girl's nimble skills. Jiang Xingze grabbed her by the collar and threw her behind him. He said with a smile: "Pavilion Master Xiao, there is no one else in Xiao Qin Tower except us.
, if you are missing something, just tell me, or just take it and use it if you see someone in need, we won't disturb your rest, farewell, farewell!"
He secretly dragged Hua Xiaoshuang and wanted to escape. Unexpectedly, the little girl stayed in place for a long time and refused to move. She muttered: "Where are you going? Your room is either on the top floor, or it's the one where you parked before."
The room where Brother Zhou lives is next door to Sister Yunxiao..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Xingze covered her mouth, smiled awkwardly, and said with difficulty, "You said it was my eldest brother's room, how can I live in it? I'm going to stay in the guest room, and the guest room is pretty good.
Yes, I will never disturb you two."
"Master..." Hua Xiaoshuang still refused to give up. She pulled his sleeve and begged without giving up, and said urgently: "Sister Yunxiao is talking to me about the Central Plains. I have never been there. I heard her say
It's so fun, I don't want to go to bed so early, why don't you go by yourself, and I'll talk to Sister Yunxiao."
Jiang Xingze ignored her thoughts and dragged her away roughly, grinning with a meaningful smile, and said in a low voice: "Pavilion Master Xiao's room is next to Miss Yun, and everything is ready. Do you want to stay...
…as you please.”
Xiao Qianye watched Jiang Xingze and Hua Xiaoshuang leave with an expressionless face, and then looked up to the top floor. Yun Xiao walked out of the room, leaned on the railing and smiled, with warmth in his eyes and looking at him calmly.
he.
Xiao Qianye nervously hugged the wooden box in his hand, his heart beating a little fast. He was obviously at the height of the ninth floor, but he could clearly see the tiny lights in the other person's eyes, like shining diamonds, revealing the colorful
