Chapter 22
In the depths of the sea lies a slender dragon, bright blue color, sparkling scales like ripples on the surface of the lake, bubbles emerging from the body attract many fish and shrimp around him, and the shark only dares to approach the creatures at the bottom of the sea when he is sleeping. As soon as he opened his eyes, the aura around him changed, and the fish could sense the change in the pressure of the water, and they all sensed the danger, and dispersed, leaving only the shark lying underground. He got up slowly, and he couldn't detect the breath of the shark in the nearby sea, it seemed that the shark had left here, and this time it was estimated that he had already landed. The demon knocked himself unconscious and fled from under his nose, the shark would not accept this reality, so he didn't plan to go to the Hidden Dragon Country, once he went there, if Ao Gang asked him why the demon was still alive, he would feel shameless. Anyway, the two armies will fight in three days, I never thought that the war would come so suddenly, just one person, a word to the door, will tell you how many days later, one of the families will be ruined, there is no generous rhetoric, there is no righteous indignation of grievances, just two races of different beliefs, in each other to decide whose faith is the highest and most correct. The shark got up and swam slowly in the water, but it didn't matter to him if the shark broke the evil to make him like this, after all, he hadn't used his full strength yet.
Ao Gang and his party have returned to the Hidden Dragon Country, allowing Yu Gu to continue to live with Ao Ji, but neither of them can leave the palace. Seeing the fish intestines come back, Ao Ji seemed very happy. Regardless of the outcome, in a woman's eyes, as long as people can be safe, it is a good thing. It's just that good things can't come in pairs, she learned from the mouth of the next person that the prince Ao Chong did not come back, according to King Jiao's own mouth, Ao Chong, Ao Guang and Yu Gu were tested at the shark, and finally Ao Chong died at the hands of Ao Guang, and Yu Gu was the illegitimate son of King Jiao. Ao Ji was not surprised, when she met Yu Gu for the first time, she guessed that Yu Gu was hiding something from her, but she didn't expect that he would be her half-brother, and moreover, he was still a relative who wanted to seek revenge from her biological father. It is said that Ao Chong's corpse has not been recovered, in the eyes of Jiaoren, the dead are worthless, and they will not hold any funerals like human beings, and then go into the ground, not to mention what sacrifices and remembrances, to be able to dedicate the body to all things in the ocean, it is already a good death. He who comes from the sea returns to the sea. But she is also used to it, she can't go out anyway, she can only be brought to her by people from outside, and she can't help whether it is good news or bad news brought back.
Ao Ji asked people to carry the fish intestines to her bed, her bed was a light net, but it was very strong, and after settling the fish intestines, she looked at her brother whom she had just met, and did not know how to speak. She walked to the dresser, and when she pushed it open, she revealed a secret door, and inside the secret door was a small room filled with the relics of Ao Ji's mother. She usually spends herself alone in this small room, just sitting quietly and motionless. Although Ao Chong's relationship with her is not very good, but it is not an enemy, when she was a child, Ao Chong gave her a birthday gift, which is a combination of colorful glazed stone and sound screw, which can send sound snail to the sky and hear the sound of the sky. That is also the only gift Ao Chong gave her, Ao Ji put the sound conch next to her mother's relics, in the future when she is alone, she may be able to talk to the family, after all, when they grow up, they will no longer love each other as in the past, time is a ruthless machete, forcing people to learn to take up arms and be vigilant against everyone around them, even relatives.
This family has never looked like a home.
Ao Guang stayed in Ao Gang's study, the door was locked, and no one could enter. Ao Guang knelt on the ground, and in front of him was a row of generals of the Jiao clan, discussing the next battle with Ao Gang. Some of the people in it are people who were born and died with Ao Guang, but at this moment, no one dared to say a word for Ao Guang. These people all know in their hearts that there is no good end to going against King Jiao, and he has the strength to become the king of the Jiao clan. The third prince must have made a big mistake by kneeling like this, and no one dared to show off at this time. After Ao Guang discussed with all the generals about the future countermeasures, all the generals left from the study, and a general of the same military rank as Ao Guang glanced at Ao Guang and was about to speak, Ao Guang gave him a look, and he had to give up and leave.
After everyone left, Ao Gang called the third prince to the desk.
"Can't you all stand it anymore and can't wait for me to step down?" Ao Gang looked at the books on the desk, those books were made of fish skin, which could be written without being corrupted by the sea.
Ao Guang didn't dare to make a sound, and lowered his head. Ao Gang continued: "Being a superior person is what a man should think, and there is nothing wrong with this idea. It's just that you're in a hurry, and your strength isn't enough to assume this position. Do you know what happens when you kill someone from the royal family? Even though you are my son, you kill my other son...... What do you think I should do with you?"
Ao Guang kowtowed heavily and said, "Guilty of capital crimes, stealing the throne, let it be disposed of, no complaints...... The king is defeated and the loser has no right to speak. ”
"Hahaha, a good sentence of winning and losing! A good sentence of losing people has no right to speak. So what do you think your dead brother will win or lose?" Ao Guang was speechless for a moment, not knowing the meaning of Ao Gang's words. "Don't you understand? If he dies, it means that he is not qualified to be king, and only those who can survive in this world are strong. The ability of our Jiao clan to dominate the ocean shows that we are the strongest race. Ao Chong has mentioned before that turning the whole world into an ocean, I just think it's too early. Now the demons are attacking our country again, and according to the spies, the demons have occupied two countries on the continent and enslaved the humans of the two countries to attack us. Now that humans are in the same league as demons, I don't think there's any need to give face to people on land. Once we win the war, I will drown the whole world in the sea, and I will fulfill an unfulfilled wish for my dead son. You are the main combat force of our army, and the strikers need you, so you can go back and start preparing for the war, what has happened in the past few days, and we will talk about it when the war is over. ”
Ao Guangshen bowed, and was about to leave, when he had something to say and turned back: "Father, fish intestines...... What to do?"
"He's whimsical to want to be my son so easily. His heart is not here, and he is bent on killing me. If he is willing to be a Jiaoren, I can give him the opportunity to make military achievements and become a prince. If you don't want to, when the war is over, kill it. There is no need for a single waste here. ”
On the coast, dozens of warships were launched. The navy of the Qi State has been repairing the warship for the past few days, and they did not expect that they might not have any hope of galloping on the sea in this life, and they would have to fight the sea tribe in the water for the first time they entered the water. The sailors went back and forth on the deck of the warship to check the condition of the warship after the renovation, and someone saw a shark on the deck with its fin exposed on the water, swimming towards the shore. The sailors knew that it was the shark who had returned.
The shark broke ashore, and the sailors ran down from the boat and asked him if he had seen fish intestines. People saw it, but they couldn't bring it back. The sailors all have a deep relationship with the fish intestines, and everyone is relieved to know that he is safe and sound. But his next situation may not be optimistic, it turns out that his biological father is actually Ao Gang, the king of the Jiao clan, and the person he wants to seek revenge is the person above 10,000 people under the Jiao clan, especially Ao Gang also knows all this, but he is afraid that the next days will not be good.
When Yan Che heard this, he slapped the table with indignation and said, "How can this be true, why can a supreme person of power ignore the law and morality, and if he becomes a king, he can destroy the innocence and lives of others without impunity? He Ao Gang, who has mutilated so many innocent human women, is not a pity to die, and now he can still be at ease at the bottom of the sea, and even catch all the fish intestines, so that a person who hates himself will become respectful of him, what a crime! This ocean is the same as the earth, there is a miasma of black smoke, and it should have been rectified a long time ago. ”
"It's a pity that the Blue Sea Battle a hundred years ago was the first time that our demons were defeated in battle. The power of the sea should not be underestimated, and this battle is extraordinary, and Che'er can't compare the Jiaoren with the humans on the ground. They have lived in the water for thousands of years, and their mana is very strong when the co-workers are still there, and the Jiaowang holds the sea king's halberd, which can control everything in the water, and can also launch a large flood to flood the land. This battle can be said to be a success if it is not successful. Yan Tiege analyzed the situation very calmly, he was not an emotional person.
Shark Po Evil is a person who values feelings, otherwise he would not have chosen to leave the Demon Realm to follow Yan Che in the first place. He felt that he had come to the world to find a new world for the Mohai tribe in the Dead Sea and all the creatures living in the Dead Sea. It's rare that he will take a fancy to the fish intestines that are descendants of Jiao and humans, maybe there is something in the fish intestines, which he has been pursuing.
Because there is another war to be waged again, the Qi State has just recuperated for less than a month, and people have not yet woken up from the aftermath of the war, and they are about to enter another war. The people were indeed miserable, and everyone understood the importance of peace, and in the past, the people here had enough food and clothing, mainly because of the strength of their military forces, so that they had time to develop agriculture and commerce for the benefit of the people. But this wealth is based on deprivation, and the people of Qi may not know that perhaps they are unwilling to eat clean rice in their bowls, and the clothes that they are ready to throw away when they have a hole are probably plundered from other countries. While they are fed, there are people on the other side of the world who are starving, and while they are talking and laughing and doing nothing every day, there is displacement and separation of wives in another place. As the saying goes, "There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy", everyone in this world is equal, and others cannot be deprived of the true taste of life because of their own satisfaction. But fear is an important driving force for people to act, as the old saying goes, "money can make the devil grind", and now that life is in the hands of others, who would not dare to bow their heads and do things. Yan Che's beating of human beings in the Meng Dynasty, as well as what he said to the people of Jiang State, had long spread to all corners of the two countries. Sure enough, the demons are still incompatible with humans, and now the illusion is just boiling frogs in warm water, wanting humans to kneel down under the demons more obediently. The demons did not spare even the people in the sea, which shows that their ambition to conquer the world is obvious, but the humans are powerless to fight back. What kind of heroes and heroes, the golden six saints, the seven swords, are not the opponents of the demons, I heard that even the peak sword saint of the swordsman has not found a bargain on the demons, and the hope of human beings breaking free from the shackles is slim, and some people began to pray to the gods for blessings, praying for divine soldiers from heaven to eradicate evil spirits. After all, though, it's just a matter of thinking.
Hua Yao and Hua Rui hurried to the room, the two of them were out of breath, holding their waists beside Yan Che, and said "young master" more than ten times in a row, but they didn't say anything. Yan Che told them to calm down and not rush for a while. Then the two flower girls calmed down and said happily to Yan Che: "Ji Wumei is awake!"
This is definitely the best news for Yan Che in the past few days. He immediately galloped out, and the crowd followed. When I got to the altar, I saw a woman with a red body from a distance, standing naked in front of the copper tripod, and after turning around, Ji Wumei's smiling expression was mixed with guilt, welcoming Yan Che who came. Ji Wumei knelt down in front of Yan Che, Yan Che went up and hurriedly helped her up, seeing that she had no clothes (Ji Wumei usually uses flesh and blood to change into close-fitting clothes, probably because the Yuan Shen has just recovered and has not changed out) Yan Che took off his cloak and surrounded her. Ji Wumei touched the cloak in her hand, and suddenly apologized to Yan Che as if she was guilty, saying that she was not qualified to use her body to touch Yan Che's things, she was really the biggest shame of the demon race, she was beaten into her original form by several humans, and she also had a battle with Yan Che. Fortunately, she didn't hurt Yan Che, if she hurt Yan Che, she would never come back. Yan Che's safety was a big reason why she was able to quickly regain her human form.
However, Yan Che didn't care about any of this, he just wanted his companions to be safe. He sent Ji Wumei back to the room, asked Hua Yao Hua Rui to take care of her, asked them to bring a few beautiful clothes, and let Ji Wumei stay in the room for a few days to recover her magic. It's not a matter of a day or two to restore the magic power, and in three days, there will be a big battle with the Sea Clan, in order to make Ji Wumei feel at ease, Yan Che asked Ji Wumei not to tell Ji Wumei about fighting with the Sea Clan. However, there is no airtight bottle in the world, Ji Wumei still knew about it, and when she learned that she was like a drag, Ji Wumei became emotional. Yan Tiege and Ghost Shili, who had been helping her recover her magic power, were helpless, and finally found Yan Che, who compromised and agreed to take her to the sea, but as a last resort, she didn't have to play in person.
Time flies so fast that three days pass in the blink of an eye. Yan Che also joked with Yan Tiege, saying that time is a magical thing, three days and a hundred years feel the same, they all pass in a blink of an eye, and Yan Tiege, who has lived longer, also said that time is the only invincible thing, he wants to go, no one will keep him, even if he conquers the world, there are still many things in this world that can never be surpassed. A lot of things happened in other places in the past three days, such as Yan Qinghou, who had not heard from him for a long time after leaving the Qi Kingdom. He met Jin Shijie and the Golden Six Saints in a town. They didn't fight each other, after all, there was no reason to be hostile, both of them were humans who hated demons, and they were in the same boat at this time. And Jin Shijie found Yan Qinghou, as if he wanted to discuss some important matters with him. It's the same on the side of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom, Yu Gu finally promised Ao Gang that he would participate in the battle with the demons. His purpose in doing this may be to cut off his former friends and easily cut off the undesirable relationship between the two races.
On the day of the expedition, the coast east of Qi was mighty, a whole row of warships were neatly arranged, and it looked extremely spectacular on the coast, and even the people of Qi did not expect that their weakest naval army could have such excellent warships, as well as their high morale, as if they were impatient to set off for battle. Yan Che and his party got on a boat, because there were many situations at sea, and they didn't bring Fu Qinggu. Zhao Yige has been practicing breathlessness for the past few days, but later the shark demon taught him the art of resisting water, and he can exhale his breath outside his face to form a breathing mask, so that he can breathe freely in the water. After they got on the boat, the army was also ready to set off, and at this time, Yan Tiege said to the commander of the navy, there is no need for so many warships, just pick out the most elite people, and make up enough for three ships.
Of course, the army commander could not believe his ears, and if anyone went to attack someone else and only brought three boats, the three boats would be full of only a hundred people, and there would be hundreds of thousands of people in a country. However, those who lived with the fish intestines still took the lead in getting on the boat. As a sailor, not being able to go to sea is a lifelong shame.
In this way, the three boats, full of people, departed from the shore under the gaze of everyone. It's unclear how many of these escorts' eyes are wishing the demons a smooth ride, at least many of them hope that these ships will never return.
The warship sailed on the sea, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, it sailed towards its destination without speed or slowness. Seagulls flying in the sky, sometimes resting on the deck, and schools of fish jumping out of the water on the surface of the sea are very new to humans who have never experienced the ocean. Later, when it was time for lunch, the men on the three ships began to bring out dry rations to eat. Halfway through the meal, Yan Tiege said to the people on the ship, "When you have eaten this meal, throw away the excess food." ”
"What, my lord, what are we going to eat after throwing the food?" asked the soldier, puzzled.
"If you have something to eat, you will want to live, and in the fight, only those who seek the dead can stand to the end, and once you feel that there is a way out, your combat effectiveness will decrease, so when you are full, you have to throw away all the food and cooking utensils. If you win the battle, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat?"
After hearing this, Yan Che understood Yan Tiege's foresight, and in military and tactical terms, and even psychologically, Yan Tiege was the strongest military advisor. He smiled and said to Yan Tiege, "Uncle, this is what humans call a ruined boat, right?"
"Yes, on the day of the decisive battle, even the ship will be destroyed. Because only when one's own ship is gone, will he think of defeating the enemy and robbing someone else's ship. I just hope that these tactics will never be used, because even if I have fought so many battles, I have never been happy. ”
