Chapter 51 There are guests in the East China Sea
Cold comes and summer, spring goes to autumn, time is like a white horse passing by, fleeting, unconsciously, Ji Yan has been coming to the academy for a year, this year's time is calm and simple, there are no so-called fights and killings, and there is no bullying by classmates, everyone is concentrating on cultivation and looking for a path that suits them.
Donghai County is the easternmost county of the Han Dynasty, where it is adjacent to the sea, the sea is extremely rich, so it is a rich place, and it will pay a lot of taxes to the Han Dynasty every year.
Standing on the city wall of Donghai County, you can easily see the sea, but today's sea is a little different from usual, the first rays of sunlight in the morning did not shine on the city wall as usual, because a heavy fog shrouded the entire sea surface, the white fog made the entire sea surface so as not to be ethereal, as if a fairyland, it was rare to see such a big fog in the past, so in addition to the patrolling guards on the city wall, there were also some guards who were not on duty, and even some military captains were watching the excitement.
A man dressed in gray leaned against his daughter's wall, with a wine bottle in his hand, looking a little out of place with his surroundings, there were only two people standing beside him, one of whom seemed to have a high status among these guards, but he was standing next to the man like an attendant at the moment, and the other was wearing an official hat, who seemed to be a civil official, and the rest were far away from them, so it could be seen that the status of several people was not low.
The man who looked like a civil official looked at the young man who was drinking, and said with a smile: "I heard that he is now crowned king, and he has entered the academy, and he is the top of the Sword Palace." β
After hearing this, the young man in gray raised the wine bottle again and raised his head to take a sip, "In the end, he still got a step ahead." β
"You don't seem to care. The civilian-looking man continued.
"Everyone in the world knows Chen Buyi, and how many people know me Lu Xiaoyao-" The man in gray sighed, but the sad expression on his face seemed to be fake no matter how he looked at it.
"Hahaha, it's really awkward to say this from the mouth of you, a carefree marquis. β
"The lord of the castle has won the award, and it has been really hard for me to leave Kyoto and come to such a remote place in the past few years. Lu Xiaoyao said.
"Although the East China Sea is located in a corner, it is one of the richest counties, and I eat and drink well here, and where I suffer. The lord retorted.
Suddenly, the two of them stopped talking, they wanted to look at the sea together, their faces were solemn, the surrounding crowd was not abnormal, a few sharp-eyed people saw the appearance of the two adults as if they were facing a great enemy, and they were a little stunned for a while, Donghai City is adjacent to the sea, and there are masters sitting in the town, except for the beast tide that occurs every few years, there has hardly been a large-scale bloodshed, usually in addition to encircling and suppressing some pirates who are not long-eyed, and only maintaining law and order in the city, last year's beast tide has just passed, and there should be a few years before the next time, what happened to the two adults todayγ
"Do you feel it?" the castle lord asked.
"Yes, it's a very powerful aura, but it's not murderous, what is it?" Lu Xiaoyao wondered.
"Someone is coming, the whole city is on alert, and there is a first-level warning. The city lord gave an order, the surrounding crowd immediately fell silent, everyone looked for their own posts, one by one orders were issued, and the cavalry notified all parts of the city, on the city wall, the giant machine crossbow that had been dismantled was installed, the crossbow arrow was more than a foot long, the black arrow flashed a little light, and there was even a smell of blood on it. Everything is going on in an orderly manner, as if it has been trained countless times, and it is obvious that this is an elite division that has experienced countless battles of life and death.
In the sea fog in the distance, several huge black shadows gradually approached the shore, and the thick mist enveloped the entire black shadow, and finally, a wooden stick-like object pierced through the dense fog, which was a tall mast, and then, several large ships cut through the waves, rushed out of the clouds, and appeared in front of everyone.
"This is, the ship, it is so much bigger than our warship, which family has such a huge warship, what do they want to do?" the city lord fell into deep thought.
Xiaoyaohou threw away the wine bottle, and with a flash of light in his hand, he had an extra long sword out of thin air. "I'll go to the Hailongwan Pier, where you guard the camp and open the circle if necessary. β
"You have to be careful, it's not good, I feel that this matter is not trivial, and it should be reported immediately. The city lord worried.
Xiaoyao Hou hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree to report and open the teleportation array." After speaking, there was an extra piece of yellow jade slip in his hand, which was collected by the city lord in his hand.
Hailong Bay is the port of the defenders of Donghai City, here is a natural port, concave rows, after being built, it has become the usual place where the navy's warships are stationed, and those big ships have a very deep draft, and ordinary places cannot dock, so if you want to land, you must first sail into Hailong Bay.
Lu Xiaoyao stood on the watchtower with a long sword in his hand, looking coldly ahead, the surrounding defenders were already ready to attack.
Seven large ships, each hundreds of feet long, could accommodate nearly a thousand people, and the most central one was almost twice the size of the surrounding warships. The battleship was menacing, and when there were still dozens of miles apart, a figure flew up from the ship, and his speed was very fast, and he had reached the shore in the blink of an eye.
"Whoever comes, why do you come for no reason, if there is no reason, I will be punished under the city. Lu Xiaoyao shouted loudly, but then he was stunned, and then his face was full of incredulous expressions.
It was a woman, and she was an extremely beautiful woman, and this was not what surprised him the most, but what shocked him the most was that the woman's hair was red, and her eyes were as blue as the sea, and the bridge of her nose was high, like that of a human being on another continent recorded in ancient books.
"Cultivator of the East?" Lu Xiaoyao couldn't understand the language spoken by the woman, but his divine sense could sense what the other party meant.
"State your purpose. Lu Xiaoyao also communicated with his divine sense.
"We have no ill intentions, I am the royal swordsman of the British Empire in the Holy European Continent, and I have escaped here to avoid pursuit, hoping to get a place to live. The woman's tone of voice was as calm as autumn water, and she couldn't see the appearance of fleeing at all, her ear-length burgundy hair fluttered in the wind, her close-fitting dark leather coat outlined a perfect figure, a few white ribbons on her shoulders were blown behind her, and a slender sword hung from her waist, and her light blue eyes looked a little blurred for some reason, but they were full of dangerous qi, this was a stunner in the world, but it was full of mortal danger, like a rose with a stinger.
Lu Xiaoyao will naturally not be confused by the woman's appearance, and naturally he will not believe it because of a few words from the other party, the other party's warship has not stopped, or it will sail into the harbor in a short time, and it seems that he can take down this person first to inquire about the details of the other party.
"This is the land of my Han Dynasty, and it is not allowed to be invaded by foreign countries, Your Excellency should let the fleet leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame Lu for being ruthless. He said immediately.
"We're not malicious, but they're not necessarily there, so I can't waste my time with you. After the woman finished speaking, she pulled out the long sword hanging from her waist, the long sword was as white as snow, the width of the sword was only about two fingers, Lu Xiaoyao had never seen such a slender sword, and the hilt of the sword was wrapped by a conical gauntlet, making the whole sword look a little different.
The moment the other party drew his sword, Lu Xiaoyao was already ready, as a figure at the peak of the realm of life and death, he had experienced countless battles of life and death, and had seen countless strange-shaped weapons, so just at a glance, he judged that the opponent's weapon type and her fighting skills were definitely good at speed, but he still underestimated the opponent's speed and combat power.
A white light flashed, the long sword had already been sheathed, Lu Xiaoyao didn't even see how the other party made the sword, his right hand kept trembling, the sword that had been held for more than ten years seemed to be about to break away from his hand, and a wisp of blood slowly fell from his wrist.
"The meridians in your wrist are damaged, but don't worry, if you don't mobilize your vitality, and then find a doctor to deal with it well, it won't have an effect, with your identity, I'm afraid there will be no shortage of healing elixirs, but if you move wildly, maybe this hand will be useless." The woman said calmly.
In the realm of life and death, the ability has a strong self-healing ability, but Lu Xiaoyao did not dare to use half a cent of Yuan Force at the moment, so he didn't know what was on the sword edge, and whenever he used Yuan Force to repair it, the wound would be eroded, but he didn't understand that it was the best way.
"Wrong ββ, that sword of yours, it's not just the reason for the sword, you're an extraordinary grandmaster?" Lu Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and said, his heart full of surprise and despair.
"Cultivators of the East, if you don't let your men stop, they will be all over the ground with corpses. The woman looked at the crossbow and sword-wielding soldier behind him.
