The golden sun sets in the west, until the last trace of red lovers disappears on the surface of the sea.

The ensuing dark night cloak the entire Jiaolong Bay was covered in darkness, and the tireless waves continued to crash on the walls of the Jiaolong Bay Water Village, and they smashed into pieces, but they could not break through the slightest crack in this strong fortress.

In Jiaolong Bay, the doors and windows of the main hall of the water village reveal a bright yellow halo, looking from a distance, like a pair of eyes searching for treasures in the night.

Inside the main hall, there are some people.

Among them, there is Li Xiong, a first-order guard who welcomes the water village during the day. At this moment, Li Xiong was sitting on the chair, and he was a little tired after a busy day.

As the guard of this place, he has been conscientious for 20 years, and he has never been sloppy in big and small things, and this time the seventh prince of the Scaly Jiao royal family personally brought someone to take over his position, and he naturally did his best to stand on this last shift. During this day, he personally led the way to various important places in Jiaolong Bay, gave a detailed introduction to the Seven Princes and his party, and arranged for the guards who were about to be withdrawn to prepare for leaving.

At this moment, sitting opposite him was a man in a blue brocade robe, who was not sitting in a seat, but in a wide wheelchair. The man was young, his face was thin and ordinary, and the striking thing was that the right forehead and right eye of the man were covered with a golden mask, and the mask had a distinctly raised sharp corner on the forehead. It seems that the masked man has a sharp horn on his forehead.

Behind the masked man, on the left and right stood the bald-headed military general "Kemba" during the day and another thin, slightly older military general who was also wearing military armor.

Li Xiong, who had a bearded face, said: "The living conditions in this Jiaolong Bay are far less comfortable than those of the royal family's main palace. Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, you are not far away, and you have voluntarily asked for an order to come to Jiaolong Bay to be the leader on duty, and you are really an example among the princes of the Jiaojiao royal family. It is also a model for our courtiers to learn from. ”

The masked man said, "Compared with my six outstanding brothers, I am only a shallow learner, and my skills are unbearable. And this Jiaolong Bay is the holy place of my scale Jiao clan, and it is also my honor to be here to be on duty. General Li Xiong has been sticking to this Jiaolong Bay for 20 years, which is an example for me to learn. ”

When Li Xiong on the other side heard this, he said repeatedly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." How can a lowly military general be compared with the golden body of the Seven Princes. I have arranged the things to be handed over on duty, and early tomorrow morning, I can officially hand over the duty task of this water village to the Seventh Prince and your subordinates, and I can also rest assured that I will go back to the Great Palace of the East China Sea, and Your Majesty will resume my life. ”

The masked man said: "What I have seen and heard this day is full of fighting spirit soldiers and orderly garrisons, all of which are General Li's good management of the army. I will definitely give my father a recital, show your merits, and ask for a reward for your merits. ”

When Li Xiong heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he quickly stood up from his seat and said, "Thank you Seventh Prince for your support, I will be useful to Li Xiong in the future, Seventh Prince, you can command." ”

The masked man said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

......

The next morning.

The heavy gate of Jiaolong Bay Water Village rose lazily in a "squeak" sound.

When the gate of the fortress was fully opened, a group of warships hurriedly came out of it, and on the deck of the leading ship, stood the bearded Li Xiong and his two personal guards.

"General, do these Seven Princes really want to be on duty in Jiaolong Bay Water Village for ten or eight years?" one of the guards asked.

Li Xiong looked back at Dazhai, then glanced at the guard, and reprimanded in a low voice: "The matter of the imperial family, how can we figure it out, Your Majesty's seven sons, who is sure that these six princes cannot inherit the unification?"

"The general taught a lesson. The personal guard hurriedly stood aside in a panic and said no more.

Li Xiong held the hilt of the saber at his waist in one hand, raised his eyes to look at the Jiaolongwan Water Village that was getting away behind him, his eyes flickered, and he had both the reluctance to operate for many years in his heart, and the expectation of returning to his own clan in the East China Sea.

......

At the moment when Lixiong's fleet came out of the village.

Under the water surface of the Dazhai gate, three groups of blue water more than one person high took advantage of the fact that the gate of the water village had not yet fallen and closed, like three spirit fish stealing food against the current, and unconsciously dived in. The three clouds of blue water wrapped the figures of Xu Yang, Liu Haiyu and Yun Qiao'er.

......

Jiaolong Bay Water Village Palace.

The Seventh Prince wearing the mask arranged the duty task in an orderly manner, and all the generals in the hall nodded and praised the Seven Princes for their shrewdness and ability.

After the affairs were explained, the masked man ordered to the soldiers in the hall, "You all go out, no one is allowed to enter here without my permission." I have to discuss important matters with the two lieutenant leaders. ”

Hearing this, the guards with knives in the main hall lined up in a neat line and respectfully retreated.

At this time, in the main hall, only the Seven Princes and their two henchmen remained, the door of the palace was closed, and there was not even a single figure on the corridor.

The masked man who was originally sitting in a wheelchair showed a sly smile on his face, and suddenly stood up from the wheelchair with his hands propped up, and said with a slight complaint: "It's really tiring to sit in this wheelchair and perform a play." ”

The tall Kemba on the side, touching his bald head with one hand, said at the same time: "My subordinates can't understand why His Highness is so weak, pretending that his leg injury has not healed, and he has to come to this remote Jiaolong Bay to be on duty." ”

The masked man didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if smiling, and then touched the masked horn on his head with his hand, thoughtfully.

The thin old man on the other side said: "Brother Kemba, as the henchmen of the Seven Princes, we can say that we are both prosperous and lossy. At present, the other six princes who are still in the Grand Palace have been preparing for the battle for the prince in the near future. Even they have already done it openly and secretly. I believe that our Seventh Prince has his own plans, and you and I just need to obey orders. ”

Kemba said, "Brother Bamu, you're right. Especially the second prince among the several princes, he is really arrogant. He used the excuse of learning to hurt our seven princes, and I heard that a few days before we set off here, he also injured the four princes. He is standing up for power, so that other princes dare not compete with him for the position of prince. ”

Bamu said: "Let them fight, these two princes are strong in their own strength, and they have his mother's family behind him to support him, of course they will take the lead." However, he made enemies too early, and soon became the target of siege. ”

Kemba followed behind the masked man and said, "With all due respect, are you really ready to give up the battle for the prince and stay in Jiaolong Bay for a few years? Since His Majesty has publicly promulgated the matter of competing for the crown prince, there should be a plan to abdicate. When the time comes, the new emperor will succeed to the throne, and I am afraid that we will never be able to return to the Grand Palace. ”

The masked man finally spoke: "I deliberately pretended to be lame and hid in this Jiaolong Bay, just to stay away from the whirlpool of battle in the Grand Palace. Let my six brothers fight for the bloodshed first, and when the opportunity is ripe, I will take the two of you back to kill them. I can't get the position of prince, and no one else can think of it. When I ascend the throne and become the Great Emperor, you two will be meritorious veterans. ”

Hearing what the masked man said, Bamu and Kemba showed excitement and ecstasy on their faces, turned to the masked man together, fell to their knees, and swore in unison: "The two of us will do our best for the Seven Princes' ascension to the throne, and we will die." ”

The masked man stretched out his hands and hugged the two of them: "Get up, you two have followed me for many years, you should know my character, there is no benefit, what am I doing all the way to Jiaolong Bay?"

The bald head Kemba said: "It turns out that the master has already calculated, and his subordinates are really worried." ”

The thin Bamu said: "I will say that the master must have a good plan. ”

The masked man pretended to be mysterious, "I'll tell you two right now the true purpose of my visit. ”

With that, the masked man motioned for the two to come closer.

The two of them took a step forward and tilted their heads sideways to listen.

The masked man bowed his head and whispered, "On that day, my father suddenly announced that the seven princes would decide the throne of the prince in the form of a martial arts competition. I always felt like things were coming out of the ordinary. Even if his father's health is not good, it is not a problem for him to hold on for another ten or eight years with his old man's physique. That night, I sneaked into my father's bedroom at the Grand Palace to find answers to my questions. But I didn't find any items like the edict, and just as I was about to leave, I accidentally found my father entering a secret room. After a few more days, the opportunity came. My father was in a good mood and left the Grand Palace for a few days to enjoy the flowers in the Cherry Blossom Valley. I took the opportunity to sneak into the Grand Palace again and entered the secret room. In that secret room, in addition to enshrined the totems of our Scaly Jiao Clan, I also found an ancient scroll about the secrets of our Scaly Jiao Clan. It is recorded in that ancient scroll that the birthplace of the scale Jiao clan is this Jiaolong Bay, and Jiaolong Bay hides a powerful dragon power. As long as I get this dragon power, my skill will definitely be greatly improved, and I will surpass several other princes in one fell swoop, and even become the strongest person in the entire Scaly Jiao Clan. When the time comes, the king of the prince's martial arts competition will be none other than me. With absolute power, even if my father does not want to abdicate, I will ask him to give way to me. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of Kemba and Bamu were rolling, like two tomb robbers who had discovered the treasure in the tomb and were calculating how to take it.

......

Three days later, at the foot of the big mountain in Jiaolong Bay, on the originally empty woodland, there were three figures with ripples, which were Xu Yang, Liu Haiyu and Yun Qiaoer, who sneaked in that day.

"We've been here for three days, and we've searched all over the Jiaolong Bay below, but we haven't found any traces of the existence of the scale beast. Liu Haiyu, who was dressed in blue, said.

Yun Qiao'er, whose expression was a little disappointed, said: "Yes, even Liu Gongzi's water spell can't search for results, I'm afraid there are really no scale beasts in this Jiaolong Bay." Could it be that the scaly beasts here have long ceased to exist?"

Xu Yang on the side looked at the mountain towering into the sky in front of him, rolled his eyes, and then said: "If the mountain is not high, there is a fairy, and if the water is not deep, there is a dragon." But who decreed that the scaly beast had to live in the water, not in the mountains?"

Yun Qiao'er listened to it and joked: "Xu Gongzi is worthy of being a monk who cultivates the ghost path, and he always has surprising ghost ideas. ”

After hearing this, Liu Haiyu walked to the mountain wall, stretched out a finger and poked it gently, and a little blue light rippled like a flash. After a moment, he withdrew his finger and said, "The aura on this mountain is indeed strong, maybe the power of the scaly beast or the dragon is really on it." ”

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "Let's go." ”
