Chapter 15: Set Sail

The fifth day of September is a good day with a sunny day.

Su Mengling was holding a sachet in her hand, and it was difficult to shuttle through the crowd. Today's tide-watching wharf was crowded with people, and Su Mengling took a lot of effort every step forward.

"Zhuo Yun!" Su Mengling finally saw a familiar voice in the vast sea of people, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

Zhuo Yun was busy explaining something to Lan Sheng when she heard someone shouting her name and turned her head to look for her in the crowd.

"Sister Zhuo Yun!" Su Mengling jumped out of the crowd and squeezed out a sweet smile for Zhuo Yun.

"Sister Mengling, why are you here?" asked Zhuo Yun in surprise.

"Today, the army is going to go on the march, I came to see off the eldest brother, and by the way, I gave him the sachet I embroidered with my own hands. Do you know where he is?" asked Su Mengling with wide eyes.

Zhuo Yun smiled shallowly, reached out and touched her forehead: "Silly sister!" Then he turned around and stretched out his hand to the back: "My brother is there, the biggest boat." See?"

Su Mengling looked in the direction Zhuo Yun was pointing, and saw that his eldest brother who was thinking about it was standing on the tall ship and pointing at the country, scolding Fang Xuan!

She said "thank you" to Zhuo Yun sweetly, and ran quickly to the big ship.

"Big brother!" a soft voice sounded from behind him, and Zhuo Hua stopped talking to the Star Monarchs and followed the sound.

"Big brother, why didn't you call me when you went on the expedition today?" Su Mengling's eyes were full of starlight, and he looked at Zhuo Hua with some grievances.

Zhuo Hua saw that she was coming, so he waved his hand to the people around him and asked them to retreat for the time being. The star monarchs on the left and right nodded, gave a salute and retreated.

"There is chaos on the tide viewing pier today, and you are a girl who is inconvenient here, so you didn't inform the dream spirit. ”

"It's okay! I know that my eldest brother is busy with government affairs every day and doesn't have time to come to see me, so I embroidered this while I was waiting for you, and today you are going to go on an expedition, and I came to give you something. ”

Su Mengling's hands stretched out from behind him, and a pale yellow sachet was sent to Zhuo Hua.

The pale yellow satin of this sachet is embroidered with a mighty three-legged golden crow, and there is a beautiful word "smoke" next to it. The back of the sachet is embroidered with two lines of words: "Jun Ben has no intention of the foothills wind, but the lonely leads to the torrent."

Zhuo Hua's nose sniffed, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and he suddenly felt happy, and the boredom of many days was swept away.

"It's a thousand-year-old sea ambergris, my father exchanged it with the maritime merchants in the east when he ran a business in the early years, and I have always taken it with me, and this time I gave it to my big brother along with this sachet. Su Mengling was so happy that she raised the sachet high and sent it to Zhuo Hua's nose.

"If you don't exchange money for sea ambergris, why are you willing to give it to me?" Zhuo Hua reached out and took the sachet, put it under his nose and sniffed it again.

"Although this sea ambergris is expensive, if it can be exchanged for a good night's dream from the big brother, it will be worth it. Seeing Zhuo Hua accept the sachet, Su Mengling was full of joy, and there was joy between her eyebrows and eyes.

"How did you know I had insomnia?" asked Zhuo Hua as he squeezed the sachet in his hand and smiled.

Su Mengling raised her little face proudly and said, "I went to find Sister Zhuo Yun late one day, and when I saw that she was cooking soothing soup, I asked her who she was cooking for. ”

"So Xiao Yu'er told you that it was because I couldn't sleep recently that she cooked it for me, and then you know, right?"

Su Mengling smiled, stuck out her tongue and said, "Yes, my father told me when I was a child that this sachet made of sea ambergris is the best for treating sleeplessness." At that time, I was still curious, why couldn't I find a little sea dragon saliva in such a large cloud palace?"

Zhuo Hua picked up the sachet again and sniffed it, put the sachet into his arms with satisfaction, and said: "It's not that there is nothing in the Cloud Palace, the Lin Dragon Clan has paid tribute every year before, but since the last great change in the Dragon Palace, the vitality of the Dragon Clan has been greatly damaged, and Lin Bai has become the new patriarch, so I have exempted them from paying tribute in the past few years." And the treasury in the Cloud Palace was also depleted in the first two months. ”

Su Mengling smiled: "So, my sea dragon saliva is the only treasure in the Cloud Palace?"

Zhuo Hua smiled: "Of course it's a baby, a spice like such a big one and such a good color is rare even in the Dragon Clan's Sui Gong." ”

"Since I gave you a treasure, does the eldest brother also want to give me a treasure back? Su Mengling looked at Zhuo Hua slyly.

Zhuo Hua pondered for a moment, took out a delicate snuffbox from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Su Mengling.

Su Mengling took one, and this finger-sized snuff bottle was engraved with a wonderful scene, with layers of peaks, endless rivers, and an endless sea.

"This is the view of Genting Heavenly Palace?" Su Mengling asked as he looked up at Zhuo Hua.

"No, it does look similar, but it's a picture of the Yellow Void. Zhuo Hua replied with a smile.

"If you give me a personal belongings that you have brought from childhood to adulthood, then I will naturally give you a personal belongings that you have brought from childhood to the present. Zhuo Hua pointed to the snuffbox in her hand and said, "This snuffbox was brought back from a pile of things when I caught Zhou, and I have always carried it with me, and I can't remember how many years have passed." Now I'm giving it to you. ”

Su Mengling was very happy, and hurriedly put away the snuffbox, and exclaimed: "Big brother is not a genius, so young know that he has to hold the Jiangshan Sheji in his hand!"

Su Mengling looked at the busy crowd on the dock and let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing so long at such a young age?" Zhuo Hua asked with a smile.

Looking at the relatives who said goodbye on the dock, it made me feel uncomfortable to think that Mengling would be separated from her eldest brother for so long. After speaking, Su Mengling lowered her head, and tears dripped involuntarily.

"It won't be long, I'll be back in three or two months. Zhuo Hua comforted.

"But!" Su Mengling raised her face with pear blossoms and rain, and said sadly: "For the eldest brother, it is two or three months, but for Mengling, it is as long as ten or twenty years." ”

Zhuo Hua saw that she was crying sadly, so he stepped forward and reached out to pat her on the back and said, "Then I will rush back as soon as possible and not stay for a moment." ”

Su Mengling had tears in her eyes and pleaded: "Big brother, can't you really take Mengling with you?" Mengling promises to be very well-behaved and promises not to run around. Big brother, you can take me there. ”

Zhuo Hua smiled and shook his head: "I really can't promise you this, this expedition is a dangerous journey, and you may encounter various accidents." Stay in Genting Heavenly Palace and wait for me to come back, and I'll bring you something to eat." ”

Su Mengling stomped her foot and angrily knocked Zhuo Hua's hand off: "I don't want good food, don't always treat me like a child." ”

After speaking, he bowed to Zhuo Hua and left in a hurry.

Zhuo Hua stayed in place in a trance, and after a while he shook his head, no longer thinking about this ball of twine, which was cut and untidied and messy.

A long horn sounded, and the dragon's tooth ships and bull warships in the fleet pulled up the anchors at the bottom of the sea, and the tall sails had been raised to the highest point by the sturdy sailors.

A banner soldier ran to Lin Bai, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fist and said, "Qiqi Palace Master, the fleet has all anchored, and you can leave the port and depart." ”

Lin Bai snorted and said to the flag soldier: "Send a signal to the port and approve the release." ”

"Order!" the soldier quickly climbed up to the high herald again, took down the red and yellow flags from his back, and waved them regularly.

It wasn't long before a signal from a messenger at the far end of the harbor was heard with a feedback flag.

At the same time, the flag speakers on one of the dragon's tooth giant ships led by the fleet also issued three groups of sonorous and powerful flags: Golden Crow! Golden Crow!

This is the war song of the Xuanhuang army, showing that it is invincible and invincible.

A dozen or so huge fleets set sail with this, slowly passing through the strait outside the harbor, first heading south for a while, and then the flagship at the head suddenly turned at a right angle and headed straight to the east.

Lan Sheng stood on the bridge, and the sea breeze blowing in his face made him feel happy.

"Yuanshang, how long will our ship be on the sea?" Lan Sheng asked.

"Half an hour. Zhuo Hua replied.

"Half an hour? is it almost over?" Lan Sheng was a little incredulous, "And then?"

"Then you will pass through the barrier and reach Dongying Island. Zhuo Hua replied blandly.

"What? Dongying Continent? Isn't there only four continents in our void? Where did Dongying Continent come from?"

"Ahem!" Zhuo Hua coughed lightly, "There is indeed a continent in the east of the ancient continent, and people call it Dongying Continent. This continent is vast, on a par with Xiqizhou. ”

"But why can't you see it now? where is it?" Lan Sheng asked eagerly.

"Right at your feet. Zhuo Hua stretched out his hand and pointed to the bottom of the boat and said.

At this moment, there seemed to be a transparent wall in front of him, slowly approaching the dragon's tooth giant ship, and the giant ship actually passed through the transparent wall unscathed.

At the same time, the huge sails of all the ships had been lowered flat, one on the left and one on the left, and they were flying up and down, fluttering their wings.

"Let's go back to the warehouse! there's no breath after the barrier. After Zhuo Hua finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the room.

At this moment, Lan Sheng's brain was obviously insufficient, because he saw that the waves that were originally rushing under the boat had now fallen like a huge waterfall, and the ocean under his feet had also become an abyss, and at this moment, most of the ships had already taken off and flew in this dark space.

"Is this already a void?" a huge question mark flashed in Lan Sheng's heart.

It was only at this time that he felt the discomfort in his chest, and there was no longer the slightest breath here, and he could not continue to breathe.

Lan Sheng hurriedly ran back to the bridge, gasping for air as soon as he entered the door.

"Dongyingzhou... Where is Dongyingzhou?" Lan Sheng shouted with a deep breath.
