32. Broken rules
After the iron trees grow to the height of one person, they no longer need Gao Jie to take care of them, they will be very domineering to absorb the nutrients of the surrounding land, grow rapidly, or it will not be long before they will grow into towering giant trees.
Gao Jie said as he plucked some leaves from the iron tree, put them in a cloth bag around his waist, and said with a smile: "Clean up, let's go back to the palace to restore our lives." ”
Leng Shiyu was practicing her sword when she heard Gao Jie's words, so she put away her sword and looked around.
The wooden house is built on the island halfway up the mountainside, next to a waterhole, open the window to see the vast sea, the sea breeze through the house, the whole day is very refreshing.
Sometimes after she finished practicing and Gao Jie finished taking care of the iron tree, the two would have a cup of afternoon tea next to the waterhole or chat.
At dusk, he sat on the balcony specially built by Gao Jie and watched the seabirds fly in the distance.
Basking in the last rays of the sun before setting over the sea.
Life is like this, and it's also very beautiful to think about.
Although she has only lived for two months, she feels at home, and it is very quiet and comfortable to live here.
"Don't be in a daze!" Gao Jie took out the trap wolf, and while fiddling with the trap wolf, he turned back and said, "Go and pick all the lotus flowers in the waterhole, and prepare to leave." ”
Leng Shiyu said: "What about these iron trees?"
She looked at the surrounding more than a hundred iron trees, each iron tree occupies about one acre, all the flowers and trees within this acre provide nutrients for the iron tree, I didn't expect the iron tree to be so domineering, when it grows, it will absorb all the nutrients of the surrounding flowers and trees.
Gao Jie shook his head and smiled: "Anyway, we don't have to worry about it, just let them grow here." ”
"Let them grow here?" Leng Shiyu looked surprised.
Gao Jie smiled: "Don't worry, we don't care, someone will take care of it, and the rest of the things are not something we should worry about." ”
Leng Shiyu nodded, shook her head again and said, "Brother Gao, I'm still not at ease!"
Gao Jie smiled and said: "What are you worried about, this is the third princess's arrangement, it is impossible for something to happen." ”
"Let's wait for someone to come before leaving, after more than two months of hard work, we can't fall short in the end!" Leng Shiyu said uneasily.
She saw with her own eyes that Gao Jie used his shoulders to resist, with the top of his head, and with a knife to open up the wasteland, and with his diligent hands to plant more than 100 iron trees.
Especially when the iron tree sprouted and grew, Gao Jie stayed by his side all night long, not daring to leave for a moment, it was really not easy.
She didn't know that Gao Jie had been guarding the Iron Tree all night long, carrying the essence of other plants and trees to accelerate the growth of the Iron Tree.
If you don't do this, if you want the iron tree to naturally grow to the height of a person, so that you have the ability to absorb the nutrients of the surrounding plants and trees, let alone two months, even two years may not be enough.
Gao Jie smiled and didn't explain anything.
Leng Shiyu saw that he had made up his mind, so he could only carefully pick those colorful snow lotuses, put them in a special wooden box, and then rode the trap wolf and left the island.
Out of the island, Leng Shiyu looked back from time to time, wanting to see who the third princess would send to take care of these iron trees.
Gao Jie was a wolf galloping, and soon the sea fog came out.
Under the sea fog, it is no longer possible to see what is happening on the island.
Leng Shiyu glanced back at the sea fog again, but sighed, and followed Gao Jie to disappear on the vast seaside line.
Half an hour after the two of them left, a huge ship sailed into the mist.
This sea ship is particularly majestic, this sea ship is called: Xuanwu.
The ship is more than 500 meters long and more than 100 meters wide, and it is as tall as a building with thirty or forty floors.
In the scorching sun, a burly iron-blooded general stepped onto the command ship, he held the command flag high in one hand, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, Yinhuangdao will be under full martial law, and there will be no warrant from the general, and anyone who enters or leaves will be killed on the spot!"
"Obey the general's orders!" the soldiers behind him roared at the same time, like an earth-shattering thunderclap.
The iron-blooded general looked at the direction in which Gao Jie and Leng Shiyu left, his sharp and deep gaze, and he couldn't help but feel that it gave people a sense of oppression!
Originally, according to his idea, since the iron tree had been planted, then it should be hidden as much as possible, and if a person loses its use value, there is no need to live anymore.
After all, what they are planning on this trip is very big, and they can't allow a little rumor to leak it.
But the third princess, Xuan Jiyue, tried her best to protect these two people.
As a general, the power of life and death is in one hand, the iron-blooded general disregards all life, but he also has to obey the orders of the third princess, although his body is filled with the evil aura of Sensen, but he has to silently watch Gao Jie and Leng Shiyu leave.
Sparkling, smoky, clear sky, heavy scales.
Occasionally, whitebait skimmed by, stirring up small waves.
Riding a trap wolf all the way on the sea, he had already left Yinhuangdao, and Leng Shiyu still kept looking behind him.
For the more than 100 iron trees, the two of them really paid too much, and they were chased and killed by pirates all the way, and almost died in this sea area.
Seeing that the iron tree was about to grow into a giant tree, she was really unwilling to let the two of them leave at this time.
Without their care, would those iron trees have been eaten by the fierce birds and beasts on the island, and would they have been inadvertently cut down by others......
But seeing Gao Jie's serious expression and not saying a word, she knew that it was useless to say more.
Through these days of getting along, she knows that what Gao Jie decides, there is no room for change at all.
She shook her head secretly, Brother Gao's heart is really big enough, such a big thing, just leave, as if he didn't care at all.
You know, those are all spirit trees, and she always feels that it is not appropriate to leave them alone.
The sun is scorching and the sun is scorching.
The two traveled hundreds of miles all the way before they came across a desert island, and the two went to the island to rest and drink some water.
The sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that people couldn't breathe.
In such weather, it is really not suitable to rush.
Sitting in the shadow of a boulder, Gao Jie took a sip of the lotus juice pressed by the colorful snow lotus, which penetrated into his heart, cool, and took away the heat in his body little by little.
Then he handed the leather bag containing the lotus juice to Leng Shiyu, shook his head and said, "Miss Leng, you are not suitable for such a secret mission. ”
"Why?" Leng Shiyu took the skin, took a sip, frowned, and said, "Did I make trouble for Big Brother Gao?"
Gao Jie shook his head and said, "Curiosity is too heavy...... You know, we're on a secret mission, and if you're too curious about it, you'll kill yourself. ”
Leng Shiyu frowned and said, "We must know who is taking care of those iron trees, so that we can leave with confidence." ”
"Since it's a secret mission, the less you know, the safer it is. Gao Jie shook his head and said, "Didn't anyone tell you that the more you know about some things, the faster you will die?"
"No, I just want to know who is taking care of the Iron Tree. ”
"The third princess doesn't want us to know, so naturally she has a reason. Gao Jie wiped the long knife and said, "The iron tree was planted by the third princess, do you think she will send someone to take care of it?"
"It should be the guard of the Xuanwu Palace, or the Xuanwu Sect. ”
Gao Jie smiled and shook his head.
Leng Shiyu glared at him and snorted, "In addition to Xuanwuwei and Xuanwumen, who else can the third princess send to take care of him?"
"Xuanwuwei is directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Empire, and has the obligation to guard the Xuanwu Palace, as well as the obligation to monitor the Xuanwu Palace, as for the Xuanwu Sect people, many of them are descendants of major wealthy families or collateral families, such a confidential matter, will the three princesses let the Xuanwu Sect people and Wu Xuanwei do it?"
"In addition to Xuanwuwei and Xuanwumen, who else can the third princess dispatch?"
"The heart of the iron tree can create a divine weapon that sharpens iron like clay, where will such a weapon exert its greatest power?"
Leng Shiyu frowned and thought for a while: "Anyone who gets such a divine weapon can exert its power." ”
Gao Jie shook his head and said: "Legion, Xuanwu Legion! This kind of divine weapon, if it is held in the hands of Xuanwu Wei or Xuanwu Sect people, although it can also exert its power, but think about it, or in the hands of those Predators, once they form a military formation, and hold such a divine weapon in their hands, how much lethality can it cause!"
"What?" Leng Shiyu's heart jumped.
After all, the divine weapons that a hundred iron trees can forge are very limited, which is almost a drop in the bucket for the Xuanwu Legion with tens of millions of Predators, so she didn't think of it for a while!
Gao Jie said: "The divine weapons forged by a hundred iron trees are used to arm the entire Xuanwu Legion, which is naturally not realized, but it is enough to arm a special army!"
"Brother Gao, are you saying that these divine soldiers cast by the iron tree will be sent to the Xuanwu Legion?" Leng Shiyu's face changed slightly, and he said softly: "After we return home, will we be killed by the third princess?"
Gao Jie smiled: "It shouldn't be, the third princess won't do this kind of thing!"
Xuan Jiyue also has a spiritual garden waiting to be opened up by herself, so naturally she will not kill him for this little thing.
"When it comes to the Xuanwu Legion, this is a real big deal, during the non-war period, the palace can't have any connection with the legion to which it belongs, we now know that the third princess is cultivating private armed forces in the Xuanwu Legion, can she not be wiped out?"
Leng Shiyuqiao's face was slightly pale, and there was deep worry in her voice.
During the non-war period, the four royal palaces were not allowed to have any dealings with the four major legions, which was a ban on the Great Zhou Empire.
The reason why the Great Zhou Empire had such a ban was that it was worried that the four major royal palaces would support themselves and challenge the power of the Great Zhou royal family.
If the Great Zhou royal family knew that the third princess Xuan Jiyue was secretly cultivating a special army in the Xuanwu Legion, it would definitely cause a monstrous disaster to the Xuanwu Palace.
"Don't worry too much, it's not as bad as you think. Gao Jie smiled: "As long as you don't tell this about it, you will be fine." ”
Leng Shiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since Gao Jie said that there was no problem, then there should be no problem, if there was really a problem, Gao Jie would not be so relaxed now.
Then I felt a little scared.
She only now understood why Gao Jie had left the island so quickly, she really didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and she still wanted to see who was taking care of those iron trees.
If you really collide with those people face to face, then you are really looking for death, which is forcing the other party to kill themselves!
Thinking of this, she immediately knew the importance of martial arts, and drew her sword to practice the Wind Divine Sword.
Gao Jie sat in the shadow of the boulder, activating his super brain to check the surrounding environment while instructing Leng Shiyu swordsmanship.
Two hours later, the sun was blocked by a large cloud of clouds, the temperature dropped somewhat, and the two of them once again harnessed the trap wolf on their way.
In the evening, the scorching sun converged its blinding light and turned into a round red face.
The blue sea is like a bright mirror.
Slowly, the color became more and more intense, as if the sea was rising.
Gao Jie looked at an island in front of him, suddenly stopped the trap wolf, Leng Shiyu also stopped, looked at Gao Jie with a puzzled face and said, "Brother Gao, what's wrong?"
"There is an ambush ahead. Gao Jie frowned slightly, and his face was a little unsightly.
"Pirates again?" Leng Shiyu said hatefully: "These damn Caribbean pirates!"
The two have now entered the sphere of influence of the Caribbean pirates, and she has been worried that she will encounter the pursuit of the Caribbean pirates again, but she did not expect it.
Gao Jie thought about it, turned the head wolf and walked back.
Leng Shiyu hurriedly followed and said, "Brother Gao, where are we going?"
Gao Jie said: "Go back to the desert island where we settled before." ”
"There's no need for this, isn't it just a gang of Caribbean pirates, let's just kill it!" Leng Shiyu was eager to try.
Her strength has changed drastically from before, not only the power of her swordsmanship has increased greatly, but even her skill has also increased greatly, and she is about to reach the realm of physical perfection.
She was confident that as long as she didn't run into the Pirates of the Caribbean's magical warriors, she would definitely be able to rush through.
And the supernatural martial artists generally rely on their own identities and will not easily go to the sea to rob the road.
Gao Jie shook his head.
His superbrain could scan a distance of twenty miles, and he had already found that there were a large number of pirates ambushed in front of him, and it was not suitable to break in.
"What are we going back to the desert island for?" Leng Shiyu still wanted to rush over.
Gao Jie said: "Eat and sleep." ”
Leng Shiyu was slightly stunned: "Eat and sleep?"
Gao Jie nodded: "When we eat and rest, it will be almost dark." ”
"What does Brother Gao mean is that when it gets dark, we will go over again?"
"Not bad. Gao Jie nodded and said, "This time the other party dispatched a supernatural martial artist, we can't be careless!"
"Divine Martial Artist?" Leng Shiyu's beautiful eyes widened, a little incredulous: "Divine Martial Artist also went to the sea to rob the Dao, isn't this a broken rule!"
"Maybe we've killed too many of their accomplices before!"
Gao Jie harnessed the trap wolf and returned to the desert island where he had settled before.
Then he went to the sea to fish, and Leng Shiyu went into the forest to find spices that could be used.
After a while, the fish was grilled.
Gao Jie took a fragrant grilled fish, sat on the sand, and took a hard bite: "Let's wait until midnight and rush over!"
