Chapter 972: Coincidence
He sat in the seat, and before he could hold the turntable in front, he was almost dropped by Feiyu. Looking at Yun Xiao again, under the influence of huge inertia, he rolled forward. With a "boom" sound, he hit the fish's head and grinned in pain. Xiao Qianye held his smile and looked at Yun Xiao who was rubbing his head. When he thought of helping her, Feiyu lost his balance and fell to the left again. Yun Xiao was already sitting on the ground, and then he was thrown and rolled up again, until another crisp "boom" sound rang in the belly cabin. She glared at Xiao Qianye angrily and cursed: "Can you use it?"
"Don't move the things inside, I said no at first." Xiao Qianye turned his head and looked at her seriously. Yun Xiao stood up with the bulkhead and muttered stubbornly, "Your skill in driving the flying fish is as bad as sword-controlling skills!"
Xiao Qianye smiled helplessly, and when she saw her rubbing her forehead and being angry, she didn't talk to her. The flying fish just now jumped down hundreds of feet. At the depths of Lishui, there were already strange-shaped deep water monsters looking inside curiously. After some attempts, he finally barely stabilized the flying fish's balance. It turned out that the three turntables in front of him could control the tail fin, dorsal fin and ventral fin respectively, while the more complex metal instruments in front of him could accurately measure depth and speed, which was simply amazing.
"What a great machine." Yun Xiao leaned over and reached out and touched the three control turntables carefully. In fact, as long as you turn gently, the flying fish could move forward and retreat easily in the deep water, and could turn agilely to avoid dangerous water flow. Xiao Qianye recalled the scene when he saw this thing on Dongji Island for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh, "Zangfeng said that Dongji's army encountered a counterattack from the mechanical cloud bird at the first stop of attacking Xiqi. He pushed forward for 400 miles before entering the hilly area with relatively gentle terrain. He said that the 400 miles had been fighting for three years, and the consumption alone was close to one-third of the total military expenditure. Such a small country had to fight for twenty years, and even Zangfeng praised their craftsmen."
"Mechanical Cloud Bird..." Yun Xiao was thinking about the picture and blinked curiously, "Xiao Fei said that the largest mechanical phoenix bird was created by imitating the phoenix totem painted in the book. Did Zangfeng and others meet that phoenix bird?"
This made Xiao Qianye ask directly. He frowned and thought for a while, let out a long breath from his chest, shook his head and replied: "Zangfeng didn't tell me very carefully. He only said that there are five types of cloud birds, all equipped with various weapons that make people unable to defend against, but the largest one can only carry ten people. It seems that there should be no mechanical phoenix birds that Xiaofei said. If there is one, he will definitely have an impression."
Yun Xiao held his chin in confusion and said to himself: "Such a powerful weapon cannot be used only to transport goods, right? If the Shen Workshop really came from Xiqi Island, why not let the mechanical phoenix birds go to the battlefield?"
His brows became tighter and tighter, as if he had noticed a trace of abnormality from Yun Xiao's words, and said in a low voice: "When he held down Zangfeng's statement, although he was determined to attack Xiqi for his own selfishness, he discovered a large number of excellent armaments after the army entered the country. The emperor of Xiqi should have planned to invade Dongji for a long time, but the time was not yet ripe, and a Zangfeng came out in the middle, which made him take the lead. Otherwise, the end of that battle would be hard to say. As for whether those weapons were provided by the people from the God Workshop, we can only know until we see their manager."
Yun Xiao swallowed and held his arm nervously: "You asked Xiaofei to go home to get the military token, and you also asked Changfeng to go to Wanyou City to guard the God of Defense Workshop. Do you doubt them?"
Xiao Qianye sighed and said bluntly: "Their own mechanical phoenix bird is used to transport large steel columns, but the one in Wen Shun's hand is not necessarily the case."
Yun Xiao nodded in a vague way, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Then what do you want a military token to do? Everyone in the military cabinet knows you, it doesn't matter if you don't carry it with you, right?"
"That's not mine." Xiao Qianye smiled mysteriously at her, "It was Zangfeng who forced me before Dongji left, but later I put it at home and never took it out."
"Zangfeng?" Monk Yun Xiao was confused. "Zangfeng's military command is useless in Feiyuan, right?"
"I just asked Xiaofei to take it for later. I have to see what the relationship between the God Workshop and Xiqi is. I will consider whether to use it. I just let her go to my house to get it. I can also remind my elder brother." Xiao Qianye's eyes were tight, a kind of glow that she could not understand at all. He explained, "In fact, according to Gongsun Yan and Luo Ling, the God Workshop does not seem to be the kind of warlike person. Instead, it has the spirit of craftsmanship and is very exquisite in craftsmanship. The matters in Xiqi are complicated. The royal family itself is not a good person. They may have been coerced to provide weapons, or they may have done it out of their sincere voluntary actions towards the country. But no matter which one, Xiqi has been defeated by the Tibetan Front and has been swallowed up into the territory of Dongji. If the raw materials required by the machinery come from Dongji or Xiqi, then the military command of the Tibetan Front in my hand may have a miraculous effect."
Yun Xiao's eyes lit up, and his heart suddenly became clear: "Yes, if Shengongfang is really a refugee from Xiqi, then the reason why they settled in Shanhaiji is definitely because they can no longer obtain the raw materials for manufacturing machinery by relying solely on themselves. They can only use more clever black markets. If we can help them obtain raw materials faster, more conveniently or even cheaper, then there will be enough chips to convince them to stay in Feiyuan!"
Xiao Qianye looked at Yun Xiao who was complacent and had to pour a basin of cold water on him now and whispered: "But after all, Tibetan Feng is the culprit that caused Xiqi to destroy the country. If the country is full of hatred and family hatred, it cannot be solved by a few business transactions, so we should ask for the rest of the matter first and then make a decision."
"I won't talk nonsense." Yun Xiao immediately patted his chest and promised that his expression made him want to laugh. He closed his eyes slightly, and shook his head helplessly and complained. "Every time I go home and want to rest for a while, I will encounter all kinds of troubles. It seems that I am really not suitable to stay in Feiyuan."
"Are you the reincarnation of the broom star?" Yun Xiao added a sarcastic sentence. Sure enough, he saw the muscles on his cheeks twitching slightly awkwardly for a moment. He smiled secretly and sat down with him. Xiao Qianye turned his face and found that he was sitting side by side with her. Half of him were squeezed aside. He quickly pressed Yun Xiao's arm and told him: "Don't move these things randomly. We are now in the depths of Lishui. If the flying fish loses control and rushes out, we will not even be able to find the way for a while."
"Aren't you just coming down to find the giant awning? Let the flying fish move quickly. This place is not far from the empty holy land. If it is not nearby, it must have been hidden in the forbidden area." Yun Xiao stared at him seriously, trying to shift the topic and prevent him from thinking about those headaches. Xiao Qianye could only control the turntable in three directions, pointing to the window and squeeze her out of the seat. "Go to the side and take a look. Although the giant awning's mouth and nose can exhale the miasma that covers the traces, there should still be clues when the distance is very close."
"Well, I'll stare outside. You drive this fish well, don't throw me back." Yun Xiao smiled and threw herself on the window, and did not forget to make a sound sarcastic statement. Xiao Qianye shook his head. There was no way to do with her little personality. The flying fish continued to sneak along the Lishui towards the forbidden area. The miasma in the water became more and more intense. With the night light at the fish head, the river water showed a gorgeous and magnificent dark purple color, and a few white butterflies with slender light tails were swaying strangely.
"Qianye, how could there be butterflies under the water?" Yun Xiao shouted curiously, his whole face pressed against the window. In the depths of Lishui, the butterflies could flap their wings. The white light mixed with the purple miasma was not only not affected, but instead slowly dissipated. Xiao Qianye's heart moved, and the afterglow swept the mysterious butterflies, as if they were deliberately guiding them. Several butterflies lined up in a row and quickly disappeared in the same direction.
"They flew away!" Yun Xiao shouted softly, and Xiao Qianye immediately controlled three turntables to chase the butterfly, explaining seriously, "This is very close to the Butterfly Ruins. The spirit butterfly was originally raised in Lishui. After breaking the pupa, it will fly to the four realms to inform the good and bad luck. Later, the Butterfly Valley was destroyed. Artificially raised spirit butterfly is already very rare, but there are still some wild ones that hover on the edge of the forbidden area. They should have discovered something, let's follow us."
"Yeah." Yun Xiao clenched his fists nervously. It was very dark under the Lishui. With the influence of heavier miasma, even her eyes could not see clearly what was ahead. Countless monsters were walking closely against the flying fish, as if there was something dangerous at the end of the road that the monsters could stay away from each other. I don't know how long it took, but the water flow slowed down. The two looked at each other tacitly and controlled the flying fish to float out of the river.
The sky was already covered with clouds, and the scent of rain was coming with the wind. The air was purple visible to the naked eye, which was so dull that it made people breathless. Xiao Qianye jumped out of the flying fish's belly cabin first, pulled Yun Xiao back to the shore, observed carefully, and said in a low voice: "It's time to reach the Lingdie Bamboo Sea. The few underwater just now were indeed wild spiritual butterflies. That thing is spiritual. Since it is specially set to guide us, the giant turtle's hiding place should not be far away."
"As it true, is it still hidden in the forbidden area?" Yun Xiao pulled him and dared not relax, looking at him worriedly, "Miscosis is not good for your health. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately."
"I'm fine." Xiao Qianye went in return to comfort her, showing a calm smile. He didn't know whether it was emotion or self-deprecating, and sighed, "The miasma in the empty holy land has a strong confusing effect on humans and alien races, but for many ferocious beasts... it's better to say it's a delicacy."
