Chapter five hundred and seventy-four: distant sea

Although Xiao Qianye was puzzled, he walked over as the other party's wishes. He saw his hand gently tapping on the blue sea chart in the center of the map and said, "This is Yaohai, the largest inland sea on Dongji Island. The total area accounts for about one-fifth of the entire island. There are dozens of rich metropolis surrounding Yaohai. These cities mainly rely on intra-air ships to transport supplies, and there are many tourists. Yaohai has always been our most important economic center."

"Yaohai is rich in supplies, with beautiful coral groups under the water, and silver-white pearls scattered in it. There are also many fish and shrimps and fish, like a natural treasure, it is the most important inland sea on Dongji Island, so our army is also stationed along the coast, and all ships passing through inspection before entering the city they belong to. It is the same for thousands of years, and it is considered peaceful."

Xiao Qianye listened quietly without saying a word, and did not understand why the enemy coach suddenly talked about these things to him without knowing the enemy. He saw his fingers slowly moving, and tapped the two cities in the southeast, and suddenly his tone became heavier: "These two cities are Zhaocheng and Luyang. Three months ago, this was still a crowded metropolis, but..."

As he spoke, his fingernails made a trace slightly and wiped the two cities directly from the map. Xiao Qianye's heart was shocked. He could understand what such a behavior meant without saying. Sure enough, the general sighed. He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Qianye, emitting a cold light like a metallic sharpness, and continued: "About three months ago, a fisherman in Zhaocheng accidentally caught a mermaid while fishing. Have you ever seen that kind of thing? He has a very beautiful woman's face, a slender waist and a breast enlarged, and her skin is white, but the tail of her waist is the fish's tail. The scales on its body will shine under the night sky, as dazzling as precious gems. This kind of thing has never appeared in Dongji Island."

"Mermaid?" Xiao Qianye was quite dull. After all, the mermaid tribe is not particularly rare in Feiyuan. Seeing that he was calm, the coach thought about it thoughtfully, and then continued, "The thing was later sold to Tenghailou in the city by a high price by the fisherman. The owner of the post was a famous chaebol in Zhaocheng. He specially asked someone to make a transparent fish tank more than ten meters long, and threw the mermaid inside for people to appreciate. He made a lot of money in just one month, which made people jealous."

Xiao Qianye grinned. This behavior was exactly the same as the group of merchants on Feiyuan. As expected, the crows in the world were all black. He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "The mermaids are not particularly rare in my country, but they live in the sea and swim very fast, which is difficult to catch, so the price is also expensive. Raising them in a fish tank for people to appreciate is something rich like doing."

The Grand Marshal smiled casually, as if he was amused by the incredible things a few months ago, but his smile lasted only a few seconds and was immediately replaced by another extreme haze. He said seriously: "Many people come here because dozens of metropolis are on the seaside, so the ferry is the fastest and most convenient path. In fact, there were abnormalities at that time. Many ships disappeared directly from the sea, but they were all merchant ships, and the matter was not reported to me in time. When I discovered it, the situation was already serious and beyond imagination."

"What happened?" Xiao Qianye finally answered the words curiously, as if he also faintly realized that this strange thing that suddenly disappeared on the sea must have nothing to do with the Xuhai. The coach shook his head and sighed, and his fingers continued to tap the table, speeding up his speech: "A month ago, it was the annual sea festival on Dongji Island. In order to pray for good weather, major cities will set up altars along the coast to hold rituals. On that day, Zhaocheng, which was originally bright and bright, was pitch black. The soldiers stationed in the outer city found that something was wrong. When they wanted to enter the city to check the situation, they were blocked by an invisible force. Until the sun rose the next day, our people finally entered the city, and then... the whole city was empty, with only live birds, pigs and dogs left, from the old man to the baby, disappeared out of thin air."

Xiao Qianye was frightened and the handsome man's face became sharp, like a dangerous wolf. The corner of his mouth curled sharply and whispered in a creepy anger: "I sent someone to investigate this matter, but the result was not found yet. Ten days later, Lu Yang, who was only fifty miles away from Zhaocheng, also repeated the same mistake. Now the people of Dongji Island are panic. After all, this kind of strange thing that is confused by ghosts and gods has never happened before."

Xiao Qianye was dragging his chin and thinking about the possible connections. He heard the sound of fingers hitting the table again in his ears. He looked in confusion and saw that the general's finger had moved a few inches to the side. He first clicked, then quickly followed Yaohai for more than ten consecutive times, and finally raised his eyelids and looked at him. He said coldly: "In the next half month, eleven cities have become empty cities. When I arrived at Yaohai from the imperial capital, they have become twelve. The latest strange place is thirty miles east of the place where you just appeared, called Lizhou."

Xiao Qianye was uneasy, and he didn't know where this feeling came from. The general leaned back and showed a meaningful smile. Finally, he slowly spread out another map beside his hand and spread it on the table and smiled: "That day, I was on the city tower, looking at the shimmering tides of the distant sea, and was also thinking about where this enemy of unknown origin suddenly appeared. What is the purpose? What are the plans? All are mysteries. Fortunately, Dongji Island and parallel Xiqi Island have been fighting for many years. Even if they encounter such a surprise attack, they can quickly stabilize the situation. Don't look at the loss of twelve cities, Xiqi Island has almost been destroyed. It has accidentally helped me fulfill my long-cherished wish for many years."

Xiao Qianye looked at the map silently. Just looking at Liu Island, the area of ​​Liu Island is only about half of Dongji Island, and it is mostly a mountain rocky landform. I think the economy is far less than that of here. If the national treasury military needs are used to resist foreign invasions, and then suddenly encounter a sneak attack on the Ruins Sea hidden inside Liu Island, this will definitely be a heavy loss, and it is not surprising that the country will be destroyed directly.

He suddenly sighed silently, remembering the tragic situation of the Dragon Head Palace somewhere he saw in Youlong Realm. War has always been cruel, and the Ruins that started the war are not worthy of sympathy.

"Guess what I saw on the sea that night?" The Grand Marshal interrupted his contemplation and pointed to his eyes. Xiao Qianye raised his eyes with some recession. Suddenly, he found that an extremely rare luster flashed in the other party's eyes. Before he could see it more clearly, the Grand Marshal had moved his eyes away for a moment and continued, "I saw a mermaid jumping out of the sea. Her beautiful tail turned into human legs after coming to the beach. She put on the clothes she had prepared long ago and wanted to sneak into the city. I followed her to see what she was."

"Is it a mermaid again?" Xiao Qianye frowned and was surprised, "If we were talking about the same thing, the mermaid was weak by nature. Once arrested and imprisoned for life, those who are more beautiful will be raised and appreciated. Others may become meals on the plate for people to enjoy, which does not seem to have such skills."

The coach shook his head and continued to say something he hadn't finished just now: "Then we're talking about is not a kind of thing, because when I saw her, it was very far away. I didn't see clearly until I found her and caught her alive. It was actually not the tail of a fish, but it looked more like a dragon, but it was a little different from the dragon I saw in the book."

"Jiao?" Xiao Qianye immediately reacted. The handsome man frowned slightly, but his pupils contracted, and he also had a look of surprise. Obviously, the words that blurted out were consistent with what he was thinking. He was even more curious about what the uninvited guest in front of him was. He asked tentatively, "Indeed, it is said that it is a branch of the dragon, named Jiao. I took a lot of effort to pry open her mouth. Only then did I realize that there was another cave under the sea of ​​the sea, and there was a country that coexisted with us, called Xuhai."

Xiao Qianye was silent. This result was as expected by him, but he was already rushing to such an inexplicable place by the turbulent flow of the Taoist Path. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business at all. However, the soldiers in front of him looked like a torch, and he was a veteran who had been strategizing for a long time. I was afraid that he would show a little emotion and the other party would immediately know his thoughts accurately.

The Grand Marshal was indeed looking at him intently, surprised that the young man of this age could have such a steady and steady determination. Finally, he smiled with appreciation. He habitually poured a glass of wine and was about to hand it to him. When he remembered that he was not drinking, he simply drank it. He was so spicy that he was shocked and sighed: "You suddenly appeared from the sea of ​​Yao. It looks really different from the people of Xuhai, but you have to say that it has nothing to do with them... Haha, no one will believe this kind of thing, and I will not make things difficult for travelers from other places. As long as you tell me how to enter Xuhai, I will ask someone to go back to the imperial capital and help you find the location of Feiyuan. How about it?"

Xiao Qianye looked at the commander calmly. After a brief stalemate, he saw the other party slapped his forehead and then smiled and stretched out his hand: "I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zangfeng. I am the commander-in-chief on Dongji Island. I usually go around and catch people who cause trouble. I will chop them up when I encounter monsters and take charge of dealing with Xiqi Island next door. I am not very busy every day, haha."

Behind this careless introduction, Xiao Qianye only heard the four most important words - the General of the Military Commander.

Although I don’t know what this strange Liushima regime is, it is not difficult to imagine how much important power this man holds in his hands when he is attacked from both sides. He stretched out his hand calmly. The moment the two of them clasped their hands, they immediately noticed that the other party was the best in martial arts, and while they let go, they raised their vigilance.

Xiao Qianye had already flashed countless thoughts in these few seconds, but when he thought of Longyue and Ye Xue who died tragically, hatred was inevitably revealed without any concealment on his face, and said lightly: "There is a special passage in the Xuhai Sea, called Qixiangdao. Only their own royal bloodline can open freely. Otherwise, they will not be able to return once they leave. If you want to kill directly and eliminate the roots, I advise you not to do so."

"Oh? Why?" Zangfeng was slightly puzzled. He felt that this man was not trying to plead for Xuhai, but he sincerely advised him to stop. Xiao Qianye sighed and continued, "The Xuhai is facing a dry disaster and is basically uninhabitable, so they chose to give up their hometown to invade the Liudao they depend on. Since they launched a raid on Dongji Island three months ago, they must have left Xuhai and hid on the island. Strengthening guards is the top priority. Although they can have a very difficult stealth technique, their appearance is easy to distinguish. Since you are in the position of military commander-in-chief, you must have a way to deal with it, right?"

Zangfeng looked at him thoughtfully, his eyebrows slightly frowned and looked at him silently - he was too skillful, and his words didn't seem to be something that ordinary people could blurt out. Sure enough, this young man who claimed to be a fugitive should be with him, right?

"I only know so much. Other great generals should talk about the dragon. There are many types of dragons. Maybe they are lucky. You may be caught by the royal family here, not necessarily?" Xiao Qianye urged in a low voice. He was not concerned about the war between Xuhai and Dongji Island at all. He just wanted to return to Feiyuan as soon as possible. He subconsciously touched Jian Ling on his waist and sensed Yun Xiao's situation. He was relieved when he knew she was safe and sound.

"That's right..." Zangfeng stood up with his body. Although it was his first time meeting, he had already pulled him out of the tent with his arms around his shoulders and walked out of the tent with an old friend. He turned his tone and said ambiguously, "Then let's go together."
