Chapter six hundred and ninety third: scheming
Yun Xiao's eyes suddenly lowered his head and laughed. He took a step forward and whispered softly: "I am getting better and better at pretending to be handsome..."
"I always want to show off in front of you." He gave a rare echo, which made Yun Xiao giggle. She blinked her eyes and raised her hand to scratch the tip of her nose, paused, and said seriously,
"Although you say very cool things, you can't swim! You're so bad at magic. The end of the sky is more than 7,000 meters away from the blue sea, and Cangshao's seal is still deeper in the sea.
Even if you want to show off your strength, you should always consider whether you are serious..."
"A Xiao..." Xiao Qianye blocked her mouth, knowing that she was just looking for a reason not to let him be alone in danger. He did not expose it, but raised his eyebrows along with her words, lowered his voice and complained,
"Ah Xiao, you can't expose my shortcomings in front of outsiders."
Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to answer like this. Instead, she was frightened by him. She subconsciously glanced at Chang Qing, who had a thoughtful expression next to her. Yun Xiao coughed a few times and stopped pretending. She
He grabbed Xiao Qianye's arm and squeezed it hard. His hands could not help but tremble slightly. It could be seen that he was trying his best to hold back his worry. Xiao Qianye silently pressed her shoulders and asked her to turn her back. Chang Qing said again: "
It's inconvenient for you to move around with the gold thread wrapped around your body, and the Water Avoidance Technique is just a very common little magic. Don't worry, I won't choke on the water, let alone drown. You can just wait for me on the warship when I come back."
Yun Xiao turned her back to Chang Qing. After listening to Xiao Qianye's words, she slowly turned her face away. The corners of her eyebrows twitched slightly. She changed her previous polite tone and said sternly: "Untie it for me."
Chang Qing was patiently watching how the two of them would end up, but he was suddenly yelled at by a woman, and then he came back to his senses. But when he raised his eyes, he saw a pair of deep eyes of Xiao Qianye. After so many years,
The ups and downs of officialdom allowed him to accurately discern the hidden meaning in the other person's eyes at a glance, and he immediately refused with a straight face: "That won't work, what if I let you go, and then you two run away together? I have to hold on to your talents after all.
Let him help me obediently."
"You threatened me! You clearly said before that you would not vent your anger on women!" Yun Xiao was so angry that her forehead was filled with blood. In her anger, she didn't even notice that there was something between the two of them.
Their eyes crossed for a moment, and then Chang Qing took a few steps back with a snort, grabbed the armchair and dragged it to the side of the boat, lay down leisurely, and said casually, "It's hard for a hero to be a beauty! And I didn't torture you.
, I didn’t say anything serious to you, but I was served delicious food and drinks, how can I call it venting my anger?”
"Huh." Yun Xiao hummed and ignored him, but Xiao Qianye breathed a sigh of relief. After a few words of comfort, he looked down at the blue sea. The most dangerous thing about this sea area is the illusion of calmness on the surface.
It is always as calm as a piece of beautiful jade. The wind and rain in nature cannot cause any waves on Biluo. Once it ripples, it must be because there are monsters passing by underwater. There is also a special official road specially opened by the navy for merchant ships to travel on Biluo Sea.
Doing business, but the situation under the sea changes rapidly, and once you enter, the future is uncertain.
Naval battles are his weakness, but even so, he is not willing to let Yun Xiao take risks with him anymore, not to mention that the Cangshao disaster is a serious problem on his mind. If there is a chance to eradicate it, he is naturally willing to try.
During the tsunami incident in North Shore City, the ancient monster broke free of its thousand-year imprisonment and broke out of the sea under the Night King's introspection. At that time, he had not yet awakened to the power of heaven and could only passively contain it on the sea. Kunlun Mountain
Even the Feng Shi sword technique could not trap such a huge monster. It was Yun Xiao's help with the sword array that stopped its invasion, preventing this behemoth from rushing into the city and causing more serious consequences. All future developments
It far exceeded expectations. He exposed the ancient species' posture, and Yun Xiao was almost swallowed by his own fire.
Suddenly, too many complicated thoughts came to his mind. Xiao Qianye frowned and forced himself to calm down and not think too much. He forced Yun Xiao to Chang Qing, turned around and was about to jump into the blue sea, just as he jumped
The moment before, Xiao Qianye raised his eyes thoughtfully, and turned his sharp eyes to Chang Qing. Those breathtaking heterochromatic pupils were stained with a thin layer of cold ice mist. A question jumped to his mind at an inappropriate time.
, making his movements pause for a moment, and asked seriously: "General Chang is dedicated to slaying demons, is it for Feiyuan's peace or for his own career?"
Such an unabashedly pointed question at this juncture was like a thorn piercing into Chang Qing's heart. He looked slightly surprised. After a moment of silence, he raised a mature smile and replied calmly: "Of course
It’s for the safety of our home.”
Xiao Qianye looked at him and saw that Chang Qing made an action that he shouldn't have done after saying this - he touched his cheeks that were slightly frozen in laughter, and glanced at Yun Xiao, who was standing next to him and was sulking.
, and then sighed silently.
Everything was said without saying anything, Xiao Qianye said nothing more, turned over and got into the water, Yun Xiao turned his head coldly, and happened to meet Chang Qing's eyes, probably because he felt a little uncomfortable on his cheek, Chang Qing raised his hand to rub it hard, and then
The hypocritical smile that he had maintained all this time disappeared, and the demeanor of the brave general changed from before. His whole face seemed to be strangely relaxed. Then he heard an even colder sarcasm coming from his ears. It was Yun Xiao who blurted out with disdain.
: "You lied to him."
Chang Qing did not defend herself, but nodded and said calmly: "He asked casually, and I answered casually. He didn't believe it at first. Did the girl believe it?"
Such an answer was expected and reasonable, but it still made her feel an unknown sadness. She rushed to the side of the boat and looked at the sea that had returned to calm. She endured the pain in her heart and said lightly: "I thought it was normal.
The generals are different from the high-ranking officials in the imperial capital who only know how to strategize. It turns out that they are all the same. The country is about to be destroyed, but you still have to work hard for your own future. Haha... When you take over the position of navy commander, will you become more serious?
?”
"Life is short, what can you do if you are not motivated? Not everyone has such a good life. He won the favor of the crown prince in his twenties and rose to the position of commander." Chang Qing replied coldly, but his hand was careless.
Make a fist firmly.
Yun Xiao's eyes flashed. It was really difficult to connect the scheming man in front of her with the tender-mouthed admiral not long ago who was chatting with her about his wife and children. She only thought that all of this was so ridiculous. It turned out that he
The reason why I talk about Dong Ming's incident is not to feel sad for my wife and daughter who died in vain, nor to worry about my depressed and helpless son, but just to poke the most fragile string in Xiao Qianye's heart and make him willing to take the initiative to go on the date.
, so as to force him to take the initiative to deal with Cang Same.
With Xiao Qianye's current situation, even if he helps Chang Qing get rid of the sea demon Cangqi, he still won't be able to stand up and claim the reward. All the credit will fall on Chang Qing as expected, adding another glorious step to his promotion path.
Pen.
Feiyuan is almost doomed, but its high-ranking people are still fighting with all their might!
Yun Xiao couldn't help but feel a bit of indignation in her heart, her bright, fiery eyes were now like a pool of stagnant water, and she said coldly: "General Chang's wishful thinking is very clever, but do you know that Mingxi has now gone to the Weeping Snow Plateau?
"
"Ming..." Chang Qing's heart thumped. While she said that name without hesitation, she also guessed countless ways about their relationship in an instant.
Yun Xiao rolled his eyes, snorted and turned his head away, not sure whether it was advice or ridicule, and said lightly: "If he can come back alive, the first thing he will do is to clean up Feiyuan's aristocratic system that has lasted for thousands of years.
None of the princes and generals who are content with the status quo and are scheming with each other can escape. General Chang is an outstanding general with talent. Don't be swayed by interests and join the others. Otherwise, the reputation gained through so many years of hard work will soon be lost.
Falling apart.”
After a long time, Chang Qing looked at her with complicated eyes and couldn't help but continue, "Girl, do you think I did something wrong? Whether it's for Feiyuan's peace or for my own future career, except for the sea demon Kurasaki, everything is the same.
There is no benefit or harm, the result is the same anyway, why should we care about the process?"
"You want to use his hand to get rid of Cang Qi, and then claim the credit yourself, so that you can take over the leadership position justifiably?" Yun Xiao bluntly exposed him, Chang Qing smiled stiffly and twitched the corners of his mouth. Although he nodded, he still felt something in his heart.
There were some inexplicable mixed feelings, and some words should have been kept in his stomach and not mentioned to anyone, but his eyes were bright, and he replied soberly and straightforwardly, "The handover of the navy commander position this time is already mine.
However, the situation in Biluohai is complicated. If there is another tsunami disaster, even if everyone understands that it is almost force majeure, the evaluation of me by the imperial capital will still be affected. I don’t want to be blamed as soon as I take office, so
If a big accident really happens, I will have to be inferior to others for the rest of my life."
He paused, his tone gradually lowered, and the edge of a sharp knife flashed in his eyes: "Why should you care about this, girl? For Pavilion Master Xiao, he just wants to take you away safely."
"He's not doing it for me..."
Chang Qing's face was a little strange, and he interrupted her with a sly smile: "It's just for you. Otherwise, why would he, a man who betrayed the country and moved to heaven, take the risk to help me get rid of the sea demon Cangshao?"
"He did not betray the country!" Yun Xiao retorted subconsciously, her body trembling slightly with excitement. Chang Qing's eyes were tightly locked, and he continued to guide her calmly, and then said: "He caused the fragmentation of the four realms.
He joined forces with the Night King to injure Uncle Yuan of Jiacheng. He is the master of Gu Chen. These are enough to prove that he is indeed from the heaven. If the marshal had not personally interceded for him, I should order all warships to give priority now.
By arresting him, he is helping me and himself..."
"He did not betray the country!" This time, Yun Xiao interrupted Chang Qing sternly. A gust of cold wind blew from the blue sea, blowing over the woman's tough iron cheeks. Those flame-like pupils were burning, making him unable to stand for a moment.
I want to look away.
So dazzling, so dazzling, like the rising sun, and like the bright moon high in the sky.
He did not betray the country - when this sentence came out of Yun Xiao's mouth for the second time without hesitation, Chang Qing seemed to have confirmed something crucial. He smiled slightly, and a huge stone that had been suspenseful for a long time in his heart fell silent.
