Chapter 114 The civil strife of the Di people
Seeing that he hadn't found the wrong person, Huang Xue hurriedly raised the cloud-piercing arrow again, and the arrow punctured the bubble, and the fish-man suddenly fell into the water.
The fish-man, who was originally dying, seemed to suddenly come to life as soon as he entered the sea. He seemed to have inexhaustible strength in his body at this time, and after swinging the fish's tail and swimming twice, he burst out laughing. After a long time, he stopped laughing and said to Huang Xue: "Happy, happy, Wuze thanked the adults for saving him." I don't know if you can tell me your name, so that you can have a chance to repay in the future. ”
Huang Xue smiled faintly and said: "Little girl Huang Xue, don't dare to be kind, no son is too polite." ”
When Wu Ze heard this, he frowned and said, "No son, what do you mean by this?"
Huang Xue was stunned for a moment, and looked Wuze up and down again, although her face was delicate, her upper body wearing a blouse did not have any female features, and her voice was thicker, she only thought he was a man before, could it be that she guessed wrong? This is a little rude, she hurriedly changed her words: "No girl, I am offended." ”
I thought that there would be no mistake now, but I didn't know that Wuze frowned again and said, "No girl?
Huang Xue was speechless for a moment, recalling that the fish people she had seen were all as male and female as Wu Ze, could it be that this fish people are genderless? Thinking of this, she hurriedly explained: "No adult, forgive me, these are our honorific titles there." ”
Wu Ze nodded with relief at this time, and asked, "Then I don't know if 'little girl' is Lord Huang's honorific title or an official position?"
Now Huang Xue is even more sure in her heart, the fish people really don't distinguish between men and women, otherwise they wouldn't even know the word woman. She didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer, so she had to explain: "Little woman is our humble name, and no adult needs to worry about it. By the way, you said you could escort me to a safe place, but I wonder if I can leave now?"
Wu Ze arched his hand and said: "Naturally, you can go, Lord Huang can rest assured, the little woman will protect the adults to arrive safely." ”
He is quite good at learning and applying, Huang Xue suddenly cried and laughed, and arched his hand: "In this way, the little girl will thank you." ”
Wu Ze judged the direction, said "go this way" to Huang Xue, and took the lead to swim in one direction. Huang Xue didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed.
Who would have thought that as soon as this Wuze began to swim, the speed was like a disemboweling torpedo, and it disappeared in an instant.
Huang Xue's swimming level is good, but following Wuze and paddling hard, he can't keep up with Wuze's speed at all. This is a previous negligence, the speed of the fishman in the water is definitely not comparable to her, and it is really normal to swim without being able to swim others.
Huang Xue suddenly felt anxious, and hurriedly shouted for Wuze to wait for her, but it was still too late for her to shout, and she could only watch Wuze disappear from her sight.
Huang Xue was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine that this Wuze said so beautifully, and she had just been released from prison and dumped her and ran away. Now in the middle of the vast sea, she really doesn't know where to go.
After thinking about it, Huang Xue decided to swim to the sea first, as a lander, she can only feel safe when she goes to sea. She was just about to stroke her hands and let her body begin to float, when suddenly another figure shot in the distance, she looked at it fixedly, and was overjoyed, it turned out to be Wuze again.
Wu Ze came to her side and said strangely: "Lord Huang, why don't you follow?"
Huang Xue smiled bitterly: "Master Wu, your speed is too fast, I really can't keep up." ”
Hearing this, Wu Ze subconsciously looked at Huang Xue's legs, and suddenly realized, and said with a guilty face: "I forgot, the adult's tail is disabled, it's all my negligence, don't be surprised by the adult." Since the adults can't keep up with me, it's better for me to take the adults away. ”
Huang Xue didn't care about his evaluation of his legs at this time, and said happily: "Since that's the case, thank you so much." With that, he leaned over to Wuze, ready to lie on his back, and let him carry himself.
Wu Ze watched her movements, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly said: "Slow down, adult!" Seeing Huang Xue looking at him with a confused expression, he pondered the words and said, "Lord Huang, this ...... IMHO, the appearance of the adults, this ...... It's a bit shocking, this ...... Please don't get too close. ”
When Huang Xue heard this, she immediately cried and laughed, yes, she was despised again, what else could I say?
Wu Ze saw that Huang Xue didn't speak, and thought that she was a little inferior, after all, he had just rescued himself from prison, and he was embarrassed to say more, so he stretched out his right hand with a look of disgust and grabbed her left arm, and said, "I'll pull you away like this." ”
Huang Xue saw Wuze's expression, sighed and said, "Then there will be work." As soon as she spoke, she felt a tremendous force in her arm, and the two of them shot out like arrows from the string.
Wuze's trip has no intention of stopping, and I think it's because I'm a little anxious to escape from prison.
Along the road, when there was nothing to do, Huang Xue talked to him, and finally figured out his situation and Wuze's identity.
The place where he is located, known as the country of Diren, is the northernmost sea area of Shenzhou, adjacent to the North Sea. The people in the kingdom of the Diren called themselves Diren, the fish-people she saw.
The people are hardworking and kind, and have survived in this sea area for tens of thousands of years, and their lives have always been stable and rich. But just three years ago, there was an accident in the country of Diren.
Three years ago, the old king died, and the new king Lanyuan ascended the throne.
This new king, but an ambitious character, he somewhere learned a set of **** thoughts, convinced that the Di people are the darling of the sea god, and should not huddle in this narrow sea, but should occupy a wider territory.
Therefore, he vigorously developed his military strength and prepared for war with the Beihai Dragon Clan, vowing to annex Beihai into the Diren Kingdom.
Since there are those who love war, there will be peace-loving people, and a group of ministers who do not want to fight, under the leadership of the king's elder brother, the eldest prince Lan Cang, raised fierce opposition to the new king's national policy.
Lan Cang had been stationed at the border, and he was a man of understanding, he knew very well the strength of the Beihai Dragon Clan, and if the Di people fought against them, the hope of victory was very slim, and even the entire Di people country could be destroyed because of this.
In the end, this political dispute turned into a civil strife without suspense, and the eldest prince Lancang led a group of supporters to rebel out of the capital of the Diren country and began a military confrontation with the Diren Wang Lanyuan for more than two years.
On one side is the orthodox king, and on the other side is the prince who rebelled in a hurry, and the difference in strength between the two sides is actually very large. After an initial stalemate of more than two months, the Prince's army was defeated and eventually found to be in an increasingly difficult position, and could only resist stubbornly. The king's army was pressing in, and it was only a matter of time before the rebels were crushed.
Wu Ze is a general under the Great Prince, who was captured by King Lan Yuan during the war two months ago and imprisoned.
He was already disheartened, and after the eldest prince was exterminated, he would be escorted to the execution ground with a group of comrades, and then bid farewell to this world.
Prison break? He didn't dare to think about it. You must know that the prison of the Di people is called the waterless hell by the Di people, and no one has ever been able to escape. Unexpectedly, he was imprisoned in a strange Huang Xue in the prison, and he was accidentally rescued, which was really a blessing to the heavens.
He is a diehard loyalist of the eldest prince, and at this time he naturally wants to continue to help the eldest prince fight. And the safe place she wants to take Huang Xue to is naturally among the eldest prince's army.
When Huang Xue learned what happened, she was immediately shocked, she didn't want to participate in this kind of civil war. So, he tactfully told Wuze, hoping that he could send him back to land.
Wu Ze is also a real person, and reluctantly told Huang Xue that according to the records of the Di people, this place is more than half a month away from the land, and with the identities of the two of them as fugitives now, as well as Huang Xue's eye-catching appearance, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to escape the pursuit along the road. Moreover, to go to the land, you need to pass through the territory of the North Sea Dragon Clan, and with the relationship between the Di and the North Sea Dragon Clan at this time, it is even more difficult to pass.
This is not his false words and intimidation, during the time they escaped, they have attracted several groups of Diren soldiers to pursue, but fortunately, Wuze is very strong and fast, so he can escape by luck. If you escape like this for half a month, I'm afraid that both of them will be a little unbearable.
Don't look at Huang Xue being able to bully people in prison so much that she dares not speak out, but now that she has left the waterless hell, she has become a burden.
As long as the people enter the water, they are really like dragons entering the sea. Their combat power in the water is far beyond what Huang Xue can fight, not to mention their speed and strength, and they are also proficient in all kinds of water spells, and it is all thanks to Wu Ze's full support that she has been able to turn danger into disaster repeatedly.
The two of them fled non-stop for more than ten hours before they finally got rid of the many pursuers and came to the vicinity of the eldest prince's residence.
Huang Xue saw the residence of the eldest prince, and only then did she understand what kind of situation Wuze had reached.
In the huge sea area, the so-called residence of the eldest prince is actually a huge island in the sea, called Haiyue Island, or more precisely, it is actually a large lake in the center of the island, which is called Haiyue Lake by the Di people. This Haiyue Lake covers an area of 8,000 hectares, and the prince stationed the only remaining 30,000 troops here.
Between Haiyue Lake and the sea, there is a Haiyue River that winds for hundreds of miles. The land is a forbidden place for the Di people, so this river has become the only gateway to and from Haiyue Lake.
Because of the different topography, this river is wide and narrow, the wide place is seven or eight miles, and the narrow place is only thirty zhang, therefore, this river has become the basis for the great prince to resist the army, and each narrow mouth is the natural pass in the war of the Di people.
It was with this Haiyue River that the eldest prince stubbornly resisted the attack of the 150,000 army of the King of Diren for two years. Of course, with the fall of one pass after another, he is only surviving now.
