Chapter 971: Flying Fish
Due to the abnormal weather, there were many ships moored at the Jiangkou Wharf at this moment. The rainstorm that was about to come made the whole sky haze. The purple miasma blown from the empty holy land not far away floated on the surface of the Lishui River, reflecting a dazzling halo. Soon Gao Xiaofei rubbed his eyes and felt drowsy. Gao Changfeng pulled his sister helplessly. Before the four of them could walk to the place where the giant ash finally disappeared, a strange metal on the shore attracted Xiao Qianye's attention, as if he could see something very familiar from the part half exposed on the water. He couldn't help but turn his foot and walked over and asked, "What is this?"
Gao Changfeng looked over the place where he pointed, and thought about it before he realized: "It was the flying fish from the Shengong Workshop. After the Jingge issued a new chamber of commerce order, their craftsmen were furious, so the flying fish and flying birds used to transport the steel columns were all stopped in place."
"Flying Fish?" Obviously something was associated with these two words. Xiao Qianye's face sank slightly. He approached Jiangkou Wharf and carefully reached out to touch the flying fish. I don't know what material it was forged with. The silver-white shiny and shiny. The cabin door was marked with numbers. There were mirrors on the positions of the gills on both sides to observe the sailing road conditions. The tail of the fish can be moved, and the left and right, up and down are very flexible. The fish head is inlaid with a night light, and the fish mouth seems to be able to emit a sound signal. He tsk his tongue and directly stretched out his hand to twist the special mechanism on the cabin door. After a few crisp sounds, the belly cabin was opened with a "squeak", revealing the more precise design inside.
"Young Pavilion Master!" Gao Changfeng was shocked. He didn't expect that he could open the hatch so skillfully. Yun Xiao also jumped in. He could only pull his little sister who was affected by the miasma and quickly followed. The inside of the flying fish was not big, and it was equipped with a solid glass window. Just open the special metal curtain to see the scene in the water clearly. In the center was a chair similar to the operating table, but there were three compasses of different colors, and there were more dense metal instruments that didn't know what it was for. I suddenly remembered the mechanical cloud fish I had seen on Dongji Island. Xiao Qianye subconsciously looked up and looked up. As expected, there was a golden hub. He cautiously raised his hand and gently put it on it, asking, "How could there be such mechanical cloud fish in the Shen Workshop? I have seen this thing once, on a very distant stream island, and the country that made it was annexed by neighboring countries due to war..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qianye took a deep breath, as if he was aware of some incredible coincidence. His mouth opened slightly and he wanted to speak out. Yun Xiao poked him and asked curiously: "You haven't been to Liudao many times. Have you seen it?"
Xiao Qianye nodded and recalled: "At that time, you accidentally fell into Dongji Island. You went to Pucheng. I went to Jiangling with Zangfeng. The Jiangling Censor Shu Nian was the former deposed prince. He bought an amazing batch of mechanical equipment from the black market on Xiqi Island, including Yunyu, Yunniao, and large armored combat vehicles, and hid it under the sea together. Later, he colluded with the Xuhai Jiaolong and formed the Beidou formation to summon the Pojun with Shura bones. I did drive the mechanical cloud fish by accident, which was very similar to the current one."
I couldn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world. Yun Xiao looked up and down at the internal structure of Feiyu, pointed to the golden hub and asked, "You have been watching that thing, is it the mechanism that started?"
"Well." Xiao Qianye nodded, thinking carefully about the possible involvement, and said to himself, "Sumu said before that this giant ash from the mountain city accidentally entered the flying earth because it lost its original territory. This guy... could it be from Xiqi?" The two of them looked at each other with numb scalp at the same time. Gao Changfeng, who was standing beside him, seemed to be listening to a fantasy, and he leaned over and said, "The God Workshop does have flying mechanical birds, and there are more than one type. The largest phoenix that looks like the legendary phoenix, which can fly into the air with the legendary steel pillars. This kind of flying fish is actually used to transport the steel pillars. As long as it is tied to the tail of the fish, it can quickly swim along the Sanjiang River to the surrounding cities, which is much more efficient than the carriage on the land. When the Master of Jing Pavilion came over, he said he would buy a batch of machinery with the God Workshop!"
Gao Xiaofei was originally drowsy, but when he heard the conversation between several people, he finally woke up a little, and hurriedly continued: "I have seen that kind of big bird, which is more than ten times larger than the Tianzheng bird you used to be. The stone foreman said that it took several generations of effort, and so far, two were built, named Mechanical Phoenix Bird. Currently, only one of the Shengong Workshop was left, and the remaining one was given to Mr. Wen, the owner of the mountain city. In addition to the Phoenix Bird, there are also smaller Mechanical Phoenix Birds, which are man-controlled, and are different from the three bird corps in the military pavilion."
Gao Xiaofei thought for a while and looked at Yun Xiao and added: "It's very similar to the seraphic phoenix that the young lady showed me just now. The foreman said that they were originally designed according to the totem of the phoenix shown in the book. For the sake of reality, they also applied special pigments to their wings, which looked like they were burning with flames."
"Is that mechanical phoenix bird still in Tingzhou City?" Yun Xiao asked immediately. Gao Xiaofei shook his head. "The mechanical phoenix bird is used to transport the largest steel columns. He only stayed in Tingzhou for a few days and went to Millenium City to help. Millenium City was seriously damaged and had a dense population. Maybe it was still there."
Xiao Qianye and Yun Xiao looked at each other tacitly, their ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, as if they had determined something, and frowned: "Zangfeng also said that there are many species of Yunyu and Yunbi. Xiqi invested them in the military. A small country with a territory, population, and economy far inferior to Dongji. With excellent equipment, he dragged a million troops to fight for twenty years. Since the Shengongfang was taken in by the Shancheng City, Wen Shun must have obtained such things long ago. No wonder he dared to directly send someone to assassinate Gongsun Yan, and he was still in the military pavilion and the Mo pavilion threatened to launch a torpedo. It seems that it is not just a support from Yunjian, but also a more dangerous weapon in his hand that he can give it a try."
"The craftsmen and uncles of the God Workshop are all very good. They will not sell such dangerous weapons!" Gao Xiaofei exclaimed in a low voice. Although he said the words of defense, his hands could not help but grab his brother nervously and sweat. Xiao Qianye looked at her, but his eyes were as cold as frost. He said word by his emotions without any ups and downs, "It is a taboo to judge people by appearance. Zangfeng even killed the emperor. He has used the emperor to command the princes for twenty years and is the actual ruler of Dongji Island. A person as smart as him almost fell into the hands of a respected censor, let alone the God Workshop with unknown origins and wandered in the black market?"
Gao Xiaofei gritted his teeth and was speechless. Xiao Qianye checked the structure of the Feiyu, and seemed to have some new ideas. Looking at Gao Xiaofei, who was pouting and competing secretly, he shook his head and suddenly said: "Gao Xiaofei, you are going to the Imperial Capital City now. There is a military token in the wooden box in the second row of the bookcase on the left side of my room. Take that thing to wait for me at the Wanyou City Military Pavilion branch."
Before Gao Xiaofei could react, Xiao Qianye turned to Gao Changfa and continued to instruct: "Changfeng, you should go to Wanyou City now. I met Luo Ling before, saying that Shengongfang had sent someone to negotiate with him about the new chamber of commerce order. For this reason, Luo Ling went to Tianyu City to discuss countermeasures with Gongsun Yan. Since that is the case, Shengongfang must be waiting for his news now. You go over quietly and don't make any noise. Before I figure out what happened, keep an eye on their actions and make sure that people can't leave."
"Yes." Gao Changfeng nodded his head and took the order. Gao Xiaofei looked at him in surprise and joy, swallowed his mouth and pointed at himself, "Are you the task you gave me?"
"This is an order, don't be careless." Xiao Qianye looked at her with a serious look, and his tone was even more joking. He even warned in a low voice, "If you fail, don't expect to pass the military cabinet's assessment in this life."
Gao Xiaofei quickly stood up straight and answered seriously as his brother said: "Yes!"
After the two left, Xiao Qianye closed Feiyu's hatch door tightly with his backhand. Yun Xiao pursed his lips and coughed lightly and asked, "What about me?"
"Hmm?" He glanced casually, and was still checking the complex and sophisticated instruments inside Feiyu based on his memory. He answered without thinking, "Just be with me."
"I want to help you too." Yun Xiao murmured in a low voice, kicking her toes, "You always don't want to take me with you."
He stopped the movements in his hand and looked at the woman who suddenly fell down. He heard a very light sigh. Her eyebrows frowned slightly, showing a firm and expectant expression. He looked at him word by word and said, "You always ask me to wait for you to come back, and then go on adventures alone. I did not practice swords well before, and learned magic very well, but now I can't. Don't dislike me for being dragged back."
"A Xiao." Xiao Qianye was stunned for a moment, suddenly laughed a few times, walked over and hugged her, "You have saved me so many times, I can't even thank you for it. How could you think you were dragging me down?"
Xiao pressed against his chest, and heard the powerful heartbeat of his heartbeat a little bit faster. He felt his arms holding him exerting force at the same time. His body was cold, and his tone was gentle like a warm sunlight: "A Xiao, I just want you to stay in the safest place. I don't want you to take risks with me, and I don't want you to see you hurt in front of me and helpless..."
He paused for a moment, smiled bitterly with his own laughter, and his arms were trembling slightly: "But no matter whether I keep you in the same place or bring you by my side, I can't protect you. I really don't know what to do. If there is a way to protect you, I'm willing to do anything."
Yun Xiao's eyes moved and he immediately hugged him with his back hand. Xiao Qianye sighed silently, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and added with great thoughts: "A Xiao, sometimes I have difficulties, I just hope you... can trust me."
Yun Xiao looked at him blankly, as if he didn't hear what he was saying clearly. Xiao Qianye had recovered from the beginning at this moment. He sat directly on the seat in the center, smiling as if nothing had happened just now and pointed to the window next to him, "I'm worried about how to check the situation under the Lishui River. So coincidentally, a flying fish came to my eyes. The place where the giant aura was hiding was either in the river or had already hidden in the forbidden area. Let's go to the Lishui River first, if we can't find the clues, then go to the empty holy land."
Yun Xiao grinned at him, his eyes rolled around and asked with great distrust: "You really can drive this kind of flying fish?"
"No." He answered with confidence, sitting upright and adjusting his posture, "But you can give it a try, it's better than letting me dive in person."
"Water duck!" Yun Xiao smiled and sarcastically. Xiao Qianye retorted with a smile, "You can't fly underwater, come and help me. It was only then that Zangfeng and I could barely stabilize our balance."
