Outside the gate of King Qiyun's palace, a group of female soldiers blocked Li Xiaofei and the others.

Due to the language barrier, and the old conch was the translator on his behalf, it took a long time for his lips and tongue to pass but still couldn't pass, Li Xiaofei took out a few gold leaves from his body and handed them over.

The female soldiers looked at it, but still didn't let them go, Wang Ruoyun untied her hosta and golden hairpin and handed it over, and took out a rouge box from her arms.

At this time, the female soldiers smiled happily and let them go, and two of them consciously walked in front to lead the way for Li Xiaofei and them.

The language barrier is not comprehensible, but the gold and silver jewelry are all connected, and the heart of beauty and talent is also the same.

On the road leading to the palace, there are various flowers on both sides, but from time to time there are some brightly colored poisonous snakes coiled in the flowers.

The two female soldiers sprayed realgar powder on Li Xiaofei and others as they walked, and Wang Ruoyun hurriedly covered her nose.

The viper hissed and spat out the letter and raised its head in place, as if to monitor these people.

The old conch explained, "The snake is the messenger of the gods in Qiyun Kingdom, and all people can't hurt snakes, Master Li should pay attention in Qiyun Kingdom!" ”

"If this snake bites us, can't we fight back? The messenger is a serpent, and the righteous god must also be vicious and ruthless! ”

The old conch hurriedly shook his head, "Lord Li, be cautious, no one here is allowed to blaspheme their gods!" ”

"Okay, okay, I understand, each has its own beliefs, we don't interfere in other people's affairs, I just want to find the three-tailed falcon as soon as possible! Nothing else has anything to do with me! ”

When I entered the palace, I found that the pillars of the palace were also full of poisonous snakes, and the periphery of the poisonous snakes was sprinkled with a circle of powder, which was roughly something else mixed with realgar powder.

On the steps made of gold, there was a man wearing a golden crown, wearing a white robe shining with golden light, and a snake on top of his head was hovering high on the golden crown, still spitting letters.

Wang Ruoyun shivered, Li Xiaofei looked up carefully, and saw that the white robe was embroidered with nine golden snakes, and he was taken aback. This hydra is an evil thing, but it was embroidered on the king's clothes in Qiyun Kingdom, which shows that eighty percent of this Qiyun Kingdom also believes in evil.

The maid beside the king shouted a few times, and the old conch hurriedly pulled Li Xiaofei to kneel, "Lord Li, the king is not happy, don't look at the king like this!" Here they are on one knee! ”

accompanied Li Xiaofei into the palace, in addition to the old conch king Ruoyun, there were also four people from Jinling City.

The seven people knelt down on one leg and lowered their heads together, only to hear the king chirping and shouting a few times, and the old conch pulled Li Xiaofei up again.

Thinking of what happened at the gate of the palace, Li Xiaofei hurriedly said to the old conch, "You tell the king that we are merchants from Daliang, and we are here to give gifts to the king, and we want to inquire about the whereabouts of the three-tailed falcon!" ”

As the old conch spoke, Wang Yiyang and the other four unloaded the bamboo box on their backs and opened it to reveal the porcelain inside.

The king waved his hand for the ladies to inspect it, and the ladies approached and took some of them and showed them to the king.

Several pieces of porcelain were smashed to the ground by the king, and then he chattered for a while, and the old conch hurriedly explained, "The king said that these things are for the lowly people, and we are insulting them by taking these things!" ”

Then dozens of female soldiers came and surrounded them.

Li Xiaofei was not in a hurry to explain to the old conch, "You tell them again that the most precious vermilion porcelain is on the ship, and you can't carry it with you, for fear of damage, let their king send someone to pick it up with us."

The old conch immediately spoke to the king, and the king pointed to some of the female soldiers and chattered for a while, and the female soldiers dispersed.

"Lord Li, the king wants us

The centrist sent one person to follow their man back and fetch it! You see"

"This is easy to do, you take them back to get it, so that no one else will fight because of the language barrier! By the way, you tell the king that we are tired and hungry, and we want to eat in this palace! ”

The old conch was a little hesitant, and Li Xiaofei coughed, "You tell them what I mean directly!" Tell them that I am the Fuhai County Duke of Daliang, the official residence of the coastal defense patrol envoy and the head of the Haixi City Shipping Division, the history of the Great Thorn of Dongyi Prefecture! If you neglect it, Lao Tzu will ask the teacher for guilt! ”

The old conch looked at Li Xiaofei, "Master Li, this"

"Just tell them!" Li Xiaofei glared at the old conch

The old conch had to say Li Xiaofei's original words, the king on the throne stood up and said something again, and the female soldiers around him were ready to surround again, and the king waved his hand.

"Lord Li, I really admire you, the king said, invite you to dinner immediately,"

"As a Daliang person, you must be ambitious! We are the heroes of the world, can't we still get the respect we deserve? ”

Several female soldiers came over and made a gesture of please, Li Xiaofei helped Wang Ruoyun, and Wang Yiyang and the four of them followed, and went to the side hall to eat together.

Li Xiaofei, who ate this meal, regretted it very much, he thought that the dishes in the palace were all delicious and delicious, but the meat dishes were all sashimi, and the ingredients were some grassroots melons and fruits.

Because the old conch took people back to get vermilion porcelain, the language was not understood, I Li Xiaofei and Wang Ruoyun ate a few bites and then stopped eating, but Wang Yiyang and the four of them ate vigorously.

Li Xiaofei frowned, "I said Lao Wang, this sashimi smells fishy, you can all eat it?" ”

"Master Li, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry you are, we are in that old palace city, sometimes we don't dare to make a fire, so we can only eat some mice and birds raw!"

"By the way, we've also dug up ant nests and eaten ant eggs, sour!"

Wang Ruoyun shook his head, "I thought that the most bitter thing in the world was just eating some white porridge and wild vegetables, and a few big brothers suffered!" ”

"No, the king and these female officials are all eating hard, they won't suffer."

Li Xiaofei noticed that the king of Qiyun Kingdom was also feasting, and some of the female officials occasionally looked at Li Xiaofei and them, and most of them directly grabbed the sashimi in front of them with their hands and ate them.

The language is not comprehensible, but the eyes can be connected, and the people of Qi Yunguo are not stupid, and when they saw that the old man and the middle-aged woman did not eat, they gradually stopped.

The king of Qi Yunguo clapped his hands, and then said for a while, and a female official went out with a female soldier.

After a while, another table came in and brought some dishes similar to those of the Central Plains.

It looks similar to the braised pork, white chopped chicken, and duck soup in the Central Plains, but it tastes like a seafish and a little sour.

Fortunately, Li Xiaofei and Wang Ruoyun were also really hungry, so they ate regardless of these.

Two hours later, in an awkward look at each other, the old conch and the female soldiers came back with a batch of vermilion porcelain.

At the sight of the vermilion porcelain, the king's eyes lit up, and everyone stood up.

Then they knelt down and licked the vermilion porcelain, ignoring the dust and bird droppings on it.

This scene made Li Xiaofei and his party stunned, Li Xiaofei glanced at the old conch, and the old conch made a silent gesture and pointed to the top of his head.

Li Xiaofei and the others found that there was a golden snake wrapped around the beam above their heads, in fact, Wang Ruoyun had already discovered it

, but the serpent was motionless, she thought it was made of gold, so she didn't make a sound, so as not to lose her temper.

But at this time, the serpent's eyes began to roll, and then he spat out the letter and drooped down, and continued to move towards the place where the crowd had gathered.

"Remind them that the serpent is running for them! Old conch, what's wrong with you? ”

Li Xiaofei wanted to save people, but the old conch waved his hand again and again, "This is them worshipping the gods!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the big snake had already picked up a female official holding a vermilion porcelain vase, and the rest of the people not only did not panic but jumped up together to celebrate.

"This, this person has been eaten, what are they happy about?"

"Is this sick and giving a living person to the serpent to eat?"

The old conch hurriedly dragged Li Xiaofei, "Lord Li, don't say it, this is the rule of Qiyun Country for thousands of years!" It was their honor to be sacrificed to the serpent, and those who could enjoy this meal here were all chosen! ”

At this time, the snake was swallowing the woman with her feet exposed, and retracted it on the beam as she swallowed.

Li Xiaofei felt that it was too cruel to sacrifice a living person, so he patted the old conch, "This is too pitiful, if the big snake came to us just now, wouldn't we have to die here in vain?" Tell the king, I don't like this sacrifice, and neither do we! If she doesn't change, Daliang won't sit idly by, you tell her! ”

The old conch knew that he couldn't resist Li Xiaofei, so he said this.

As he spoke, the faces of the king and the ladies changed color, and they looked furious.

Li Xiaofei also drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed directly at the big snake, "Old conch, tell them that I am going to kill this snake!" ”

The king, the female officers and soldiers all became manic, shouting hysterically, and the old conch also hurriedly translated to Li Xiaofei, "Lord Li, this big snake only eats one person for half a month, and it doesn't eat or drink for four months!" This rule was set by their first king, when the serpent saved their ancestors and defeated the other beasts, so the kings of the past worshipped the serpent! If you kill the Great Snake, you will be the enemy of all the people of Qiyun Country, and they say that even if you can't defeat the Great Liang, you will fight to the last soldier! ”

"What is the enemy of the whole people? When I'm a three-year-old? Today I have to slay the serpent! ”

Li Xiaofei jumped up and climbed onto the beam, and the sword had already hit the head of the big snake.

The king and the female officers shouted together, and the female soldiers ran out of the side hall and shouted loudly.

In a short time many people ran in, stomping their feet, shouting and shouting, and kneeling and kowtowing.

The old conch shouted below, "Lord Li, this big snake is the supreme divine envoy they worship, and it was sent by the feathered serpental god they believe in to protect the Qiyun Kingdom, they beg you not to harm their divine envoy!" ”

Li Xiaofei was very close to the big snake, the big snake was swallowing the female officer just now, his eyes were cloudy, and some of the scales around the corners of his eyes began to albinish and scatter, this snake was already very old. There were also some earthworm-like insects writhing on the top of the snake's head, and some of the scales were missing, revealing some carrion.

What kind of messenger of the gods is this, a big snake that is dying of old age, but looking at the crowd below, Li Xiaofei had to jump off the beam.

"Old conch, I'm convinced, I'm really convinced, you tell them, I won't kill this snake, as long as they tell me where the three-tailed falcon is, well, even make a deal!"

Seeing Li Xiaofei jumping down, the king led everyone to kneel down to Li Xiaofei, and the old conch told Li Xiaofei that this was Qi Yunguo thanking Li Xiaofei.
