Chapter 116: A War That Must Be Lost
When I entered the house, I saw that there were already six people standing inside, and of course, the hair color was still the same colorful.
A man in the middle immediately attracted Huang Xue's attention. He has pink hair, a crown made of pearls, and a brocade dress, which is obviously Lan Cang, the great prince of the Diren Kingdom.
Huang Xue paid attention to him, but not because of his identity, but because his appearance was more delicate than Wuze, his face was a simple goose egg face, and his pink hair was also full of girlish style. Compared with other Di people, he is more like a young and beautiful girl, and he is closer to the mermaid in the fairy tale, which naturally makes Huang Xue feel good at first sight.
When the people saw Wu Ze and Huang Xue coming in, they all looked towards Huang Xue. Wu Ze hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and introduced Huang Xue to these Di people.
Except for the Lancang prince, the other Di people are all high-ranking here, with a priest and four generals.
When everyone saw Huang Xue, they were all stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by Huang Xue's appearance.
Prince Lancang is worthy of being a king, and he took the lead in laughing and said: "Lord Huang is finally here, but this king has been looking forward to it for a long time." Lord Huang was able to rescue General Wuze for this king in a moment of crisis, and he was really my great benefactor in Lancang. ”
Seeing the prince say this, they also recovered from the shock and said: "Thank you Lord Huang for your help, my lord's kindness, we will remember the five." ”
Huang Xue hurriedly said: "The prince and the adults should not be polite, Zai Xia and Lord Wuze are just helping each other, and your lords say this, which makes you feel ashamed." ”
Lan Cang smiled: "This king also admires General Wuze when he talks about the heroic appearance of adults in the waterless hell." I heard that adults walk on land like walking on the waves, and can control fires, so they are really gods. ”
Huang Xue was stunned for a moment, this sound should be boasting about herself, but why does it sound a little embarrassing? This kind of scene naturally can't spoil the atmosphere, and she also hurriedly replied with a sycophant: "The prince is really too famous, and I heard no adults say it before I went down, His Royal Highness the prince is the king of the sea, and when I saw it today, he was really dignified and extraordinary." ”
As soon as these words came out, the house instantly fell silent, several adults stopped talking, looking at Huang Xue with strange expressions, and Wu Ze coughed repeatedly, as if to remind something. This time, it made Huang Xue look confused, and she didn't know what she said wrong.
After a while, Canglan broke the embarrassing atmosphere and smiled again: "It's okay, Lord Huang and this king are just sympathetic to each other, who said that ugliness can't be a big deal, right? Lord Huang." ”
Huang Xue is also a fine character, and he instantly understood, thinking that this eldest prince is also an ugly person in the Di people, and he said that he was good-looking, but he was misunderstood as ironic.
From this point of view, in this Di human race, the more feminine the appearance, the ugliness, so counted, she is considered ugly, but it is really not wronged her.
Such an embarrassing topic is naturally not suitable to talk about, so Huang Xue showed a look of agreement and said: "Your Highness's words are really heartwarming. By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask Your Highness for here, and I would like to ask Your Highness to help you. ”
Canglan asked, "Lord Huang wants to go to the continent to the west?"
Huang Xue nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Canglan frowned, but did not speak, but the priest on the side sighed and said: "Lord Huang has a great favor to us, it stands to reason that if your lord has something, we should try our best to help." But if we want to go to land, we can't help it right now. ”
Prince Canglan also said helplessly: "Don't say that this king is now trapped on this Haiyue Island, and the Haiyue River is blocked by the army, and he can't get out at all." Even if I can go out, if I want to send adults to land, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape my brother's pursuit.
But the lord waited on the island for a while, and I am afraid that this fight between the king and my brother will not be long before the result will be reached. If this king can win, it will be easy to send adults to the mainland. If this king is defeated...... I'm still bothering Lord Huang to leave this island with General Wuze the way he came from, and he will do his best to send you to land, how about it?"
Lan Cang's words are quite righteous, looking at his current situation, I am afraid that he will definitely lose, he arranged a way back for Huang Xue and Wuze, which made both of them very moved.
Wu Ze on the side hurriedly saluted Huang Xue and said, "Lord Huang, if we fail, please also ask your lord to send His Royal Highness the prince out of the island, I will definitely do my best to send your lord to land." ”
When the surrounding Diren generals heard this, they also said in unison: "Please also send Your Highness out of the island." ”
Okay, looking at this posture, everyone in this room is pinning their hopes on Huang Xue to send the eldest prince out of trouble. In other words, none of them felt that this battle could be won, so what was the point of fighting this battle?
I don't know if it's really because of sympathy for the same disease, or because Huang Xue saved Wuze, Lancang is really good to Huang Xue. He pulled Huang Xue to chat for a long time, and wanted to leave Huang Xue to eat, but Huang Xue really refused to eat fresh anymore, so he politely refused.
Before leaving, he also cherished and gave Huang Xue a piece of clothing as a thank you gift.
Although Huang Xue didn't say it, it was inevitable that there was some slander in her heart, although this Lancang has been mixed like this, but he is still a prince, so he doesn't have any gifts that he can handle?
Wu Ze saw that Huang Xue was not interested, so he quietly told Huang Xue that this dress was actually a treasure of the Di human race, called Shark Silk, and the materials needed to make it were extremely rare, and it was especially laborious to make, and it took a year for Di Ren to make one.
This dress is as light as nothing, but after wearing it, the cold and heat do not invade, the blisters are not bad, and it also has a certain protective ability, and the most important thing is that the color of the clothes changes as you like, which is very gorgeous, and the general nobles of the Di people may not be able to have one.
It's really a good thing, as soon as Huang Xue heard this, she immediately liked it very much, and her attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and she was immediately much more enthusiastic about the eldest prince. She wanted to ask for another pair of pants, but after looking at the big tails of the people, she felt that this request was really a bit embarrassing, so she had to give up.
Out of the eldest prince's room, Huang Xue saw that Wu Ze still had a heavy look on his face, so he asked, "Lord Wu, could it be that the war ahead has reached the point of no return?"
Wu Ze said helplessly: "There are a total of five passes on the Haiyue River, and now three have been captured, and the remaining two can last for two months at most." ”
Huang Xue couldn't help but ask: "Since the situation has no chance of turning around, why are you still unwilling to surrender, and you have to fight to break the net?"
Wu Ze sighed: "Lord Huang doesn't know, Lan Yuan is determined to start a war with the Beihai Dragon Clan, and it is a shame that I can't spare my hand because I am here to contain it. I am waiting here to resist, and what I want in my heart is to fight for some more stable days for my Di human race, and two more months of resistance is two more months of time to recuperate, and it cannot be regarded as a sacrifice in vain. ”
When Huang Xue heard this, she was immediately in awe, and she couldn't imagine that a group of people who thought they were fighting for power and position would be so generous and righteous, and they were willing to die happily for the sake of the people of the race.
Objectively speaking, it is difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong between Lan Yuan and Lan Cang. Lan Yuan wants to expand, which can be said to be a reckless force, or it can be said to expand the territory. Lancang wants peace, it can be said that it is resting with the people, or it can be said that it has no ambitions. But there is no doubt that if it were ordinary people, they would stand on the position of Lancang!
Suddenly, a question popped up in her mind, why is this Lan Cang the eldest prince, but Lan Yuan is the king? Seeing that the Di people don't even distinguish gender, they are probably hermaphroditic creatures, and it is difficult to imagine what kind of concubine and concubine are still divided into such creatures. So what is the criteria for selecting the crown prince here?
So, she cautiously asked Wu Ze: "Lord Wu, I still have something unknown, I don't know why the eldest prince, as the eldest son, did not inherit the throne?"
Wu Ze was stunned when he heard this, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "You also know, the eldest prince is ugly, so he has never been liked by the previous king." ”
...... Well, even the throne is based on faces, and I have never heard of a race with such an amount of Yan control. By the way, why don't you inspire them and study the techniques of plastic surgery?
After leaving the eldest prince, Huang Xue asked Wu Ze to send her back to the shore, since she couldn't leave here for a while, she would rather be Robinson on the land of the island.
Wu Ze still has important things, send her ashore and refuse to accompany more, before leaving, but also taught her a small spell, can send out a shock wave in the water, if she has something, you can use this spell to inform the Di people, naturally someone will come, take her to see Wu Ze. After all, she was just too slow to swim.
This little spell is called the Water Wave Technique, and the difficulty is not much higher than the Water Avoidance Technique, Huang Xue can learn it, and the shock wave she emits, although it is not strong, can be transmitted far away. She tried twice in a row, and she was so bad that she came back again, so she didn't dare to practice more.
But she didn't know that although this water wave technique was very basic, it was the housekeeping skill of the Di people. This spell can continue to grow stronger with the improvement of cultivation, and Wu Ze has used it to stun several Di people to death before, and the power is really not to be underestimated. The only fly in the ointment is that the prerequisite for this spell to use it is still in water.
With nothing to do, Huang Xue practiced the exercises for a few weeks and was ready to explore the island.
I don't know how long I'll have to live here, but it certainly doesn't hurt to get to know more about this island, and it's also very necessary to prepare for your next meal by the way. She now has mana to protect herself, and she has a cloud-piercing arrow as a weapon, and ordinary beasts can't hurt her.
Of course, this island is nearly 100 kilometers in circumference, and the area is actually not small, and she didn't dare to walk around, for fear of losing her bearing, so she just carefully explored along Haiyue Lake and Haiyue River.
