The sun is still shining, the gentle sea breeze is blowing in the face, looking at the endless blue sea in front of you, people's mood will also become broader, but at this time Zhou Zhiruo's heart is heavy, in the face of the rare waves of this era, but at this moment he has lost that appreciation.

Looking at Li Xuan, who was walking in front and talking and laughing freely with the five scattered people, Zhou Zhiruo's heart was very complicated, this time she went to sea to find Xie Xun's whereabouts, her purpose was not pure, the secret relationship between the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer Knife was the rise and fall of Emei, and it was also related to the extermination of Shitai's will, she could give up the position of the head of the Emei faction for Li Xuan's sake, but as a disciple, in the face of Shizun's last request before his death, Zhou Zhiruo could not refuse, and even she was ready to be suspected, and she thought of many words, Let Li Xuan agree to go with him to find Xie Xun.

It's just that Zhou Zhiruo never thought that Li Xuan would agree to himself so happily, and he didn't even ask the reason.

"Brother Li, I'...... Can I accompany you to find the Lion King? Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but recall the scene in her mind.

"Okay, the beautiful woman accompanies me, I can't ask for it, just take this opportunity to kick Xiao Zhao, an unqualified girl, away." Li Xuan replied casually in a half-joking manner, without even thinking about it.

Zhou Zhiruo can't forget that moment in her life, the sun fell on that not handsome but angular face, and under some cynical eyes, Zhou Zhiruo could truly feel the trust from Li Xuan.

At that moment, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly had the urge to cry, and even wanted to tell Li Xuan all the qiē regardless of one qiē, this burden was too heavy for her who was only in her twenties, and even made her feel breathless for a while.

Li Xuan is not the kind of greedy person, at least he will not be blinded and rational by lust, this, in the past, after so many ups and downs, Zhou Zhiruo can be sure that Li Xuan is willing to let himself follow without doubt, just out of that pure trust, this is something that Zhou Zhiruo has never felt since worshipping Emei, but she has to live up to this precious trust because of her master's will.

Brother Li, as long as he can complete Master's last will this time, Zhiruo is willing to repay it with this life. Silently staring at Li Xuan's generous back, Zhou Zhiruo could only silently make an oath to her heart in her heart.

"I've been following for so long, aren't you tired? Since you're here, come out, you're not tired, we're all tired for you. Li Xuan, who was walking at the forefront, suddenly stopped, looked at a forest not far away, and his voice was a little teasing.

Zhou Zhiruo curiously followed Li Xuan's gaze in the direction of the woods, although she worked hard during this time because of the stimulation of the death of the exterminator, and her martial arts cultivation has improved a lot, but at such a distance, it has been out of her perception range, not to mention that a person who deliberately conceals his whereabouts is an ordinary person who passes by unintentionally, and if he doesn't see it, he can't find it.

"Childe." After a while, I saw a petite and delicate figure come out of the woods, and obediently ran to Li Xuan's side, looking a little embarrassed, and said.

"Next time I'm so playful, I'll kick you out, and there are too many girls who want to be maids for the sect master." Reaching out to rub the girl's hair so carefully that it was unkempt, Li Xuan said viciously.

"Thank you, Childe, there will never be a next time." Playfully stuck out his tongue, the embarrassment on his face disappeared in an instant, and he regained his lively and lovely girlish appearance, jumped behind Li Xuan, and took the initiative to take over the burden in Zhou Xuan's hand.

"This ghostly little girl is pretending to be pitiful again, hum, I'm not as easy to fool as the sect leader, it's not so easy to bribe me." Zhou Dian looked at Xiao Zhao with a snort, looking like he didn't buy it.

"Come on, Zhou Dian, Xiao Zhao just needs to serve the sect leader well and make the sect leader happy, as for fooling you? The girl Xiao Zhao doesn't have so much spare time, didn't she see that Xiao Zhao only took the burden of the sect leader? I want Xiao Zhao to bribe you, in the next life, right? Looking at the arrogant Zhou Dian, the cloth bag monk couldn't help but start to strike.

"Huh~ Really!? Xiao Zhao girl, you are clearly favoritism! Zhou Dian only found out at this time that his own burden was still in his hands, and Xiao Zhao had already run to the other side of Li Xuan, screaming angrily, and the others couldn't help laughing, even Zhou Zhiruo, who was in a heavy mood, couldn't help but laugh.

As if nothing had happened, Li Xuan didn't ask Xiao Zhao where he was going these days, and Xiao Zhao didn't take the initiative to mention it, maybe it was sympathy, but Zhou Zhiruo keenly caught a trace of reluctance and the heavy thoughts hidden under his eyes from Xiao Zhao's seemingly cheerful smile.

I wanted to remind her, but looking at Li Xuan, who was casual, she pressed this impulse again, and faintly, Zhou Zhiruo felt that Li Xuan was not unaware of her and Xiao Zhao's situation, but deliberately did not break it.

The imaginary ambush along the way did not happen, but there was a sense of depression before the storm, although the group talked and laughed, but everyone knew very well that this trip was not simple, and did not encounter the imaginary ambush, which can only show that the enemy has a larger plan waiting for them, and if they don't move, they are bound to be earth-shattering.

On the shore of the East China Sea, a secret port belonging to Mingjiao, a small warship with a length of three zhang has been moored in the port, although Mingjiao has a hundred years of accumulation, but at sea because of the suppression of Mongolian warships, has not been developed, this kind of small warship is already the limit that Mingjiao can take out, if it weren't for Li Xuan in most of the capital almost turned the Yuan Dynasty royal court overturned, more Mingjiao raised enough military funds for three years to consume, and won the support of the righteous army from all over the country, even if it was the leader of Mingjiao, It may not be possible to mobilize a warship that is already considered a top-level warship for Mingjiao.

"Master, this battleship was developed by my Giant Wooden Flag and Flood Flag, although the hull is not as large as the Mongolian warship, but it is absolutely worry-free to sail in the coastal area, and the ship is also equipped with siege weapons such as chain heavy crossbows and small trebuchets, not a subordinate boast, one-on-one, our battleship may not be much inferior to the Mongolian large warship." The disciple in charge of this port was quite complacent in introducing Li Xuan to the various functions of the warship.

Li Xuan nodded silently, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Dian and the others: "Among my Ming Sect, are there any generals who are proficient in naval warfare?" ”

"This ......" Zhou Dian and the others looked at each other, although the Mingjiao disciples are all over the north and south of the river, but the naval battle is different from the land war, not only to infiltrate the various undercurrents in the sea and the methods of coping, but also to have enough experience, although the Mingjiao has a lot of righteous troops, but most of them are scattered in various places, under the oppression of the Yuan soldiers, there is no soil and conditions to train the admirals.

Although the flood flag in the Five Elements Banner is famous for its water, and it is also a good hand in water combat, it is only limited to inland rivers and lakes, and when it comes to naval warfare, it is not much different from ordinary generals.

Li Xuan also knew that his requirements were a bit harsh, and he sighed and said, "Let's get on the boat first." ”

Naval warfare is undoubtedly an unfamiliar field for Li Xuan, and Li Xuan knows very well that the biggest enemy he will face when going to sea this time is not the masters gathered by Zhao Min, but the Mongolian generals who are proficient in naval warfare, Zhao Min has obviously studied carefully, if an ambush is carried out on the mainland, with the strength of Li Xuan and others, even if he is defeated, it is not difficult to escape from the predicament, but if he wants to move the battlefield to the sea, the vast sea, if the warship sinks, then even if Li Xuan has the ability to penetrate the sky, there will only be one.

This is the first time that Zhao Min has taken the initiative in the confrontation between himself and Zhao Min, and although he knows that the risk is extremely high, he has to break through, not only because of Xie Xun, but also because of the Wu Mu Testament in the Dragon Slayer Knife and the Heavenly Sword, the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending and the Nine Yin True Scripture are all things that Li Xuan is determined to obtain, so he knows that there are tigers in the mountains, but he has to lean towards the Tiger Mountain, but this feeling of being led by others by the nose makes him very unhappy.

"Childe ......" After everyone got on the boat, they began to familiarize themselves with the operation of the warship, Xiao Zhao hesitated, came to Li Xuan's side, and called in a glutinous voice, waking up Li Xuan who was in deep thought.

"What's the matter?" Li Xuan took a deep breath, put aside all the worries in his heart, and looked at Xiao Zhaodao with a smile.

Xiao Zhao took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to meet Li Xuan's gaze and said: "If the prince can trust Xiao Zhao, let Xiao Zhao give it a try, although Xiao Zhao has not studied naval warfare, but when it comes to sailing offshore and even predicting the weather at sea, Xiao Zhao still has some experience and confidence." ”

"Xiao Zhao, you know a lot." Looking at Xiao Zhao, Li Xuan suddenly remembered her mother, the purple-shirted dragon king Dai Qisi, among the four major guardian kings, the purple-shirted dragon king Dai Qisi is known as the first Dharma king, this ranking has a lot of water, although Dai Qisi's martial arts are good, it can make the exterminator holding the Yitian Sword too dare not force him too much, and his strength can be seen, but to say that he can occupy the first of the four major guardian Dharma kings is a bit exaggerated.

Not to mention the golden lion king with the strongest combat effectiveness and the white-eyed eagle king with the oldest qualifications, even if Wei Yixiao, the strength may not be below her, but at that time, Dai Qisi was called the first beauty by Xie Xun, with a graceful demeanor and a captivating country, and the other kings except for the white-eyed eagle king with the highest seniority disdainfully competed with one, others were more or less admired, and even willingly gave up the throne of the first guardian king.

However, Li Xuan thought that this purple-shirted dragon king was not gossip about the intricate emotional history of Mingjiao, but the ability of the purple-shirted dragon king.

The four major apologetic kings, not only all of them are strong in martial arts, but also have a housekeeping ability, the lion roar of the golden lion king, the eagle claw of the white-eyed eagle king, and the blue-winged bat king Wei Yixiao is even more light in the world, and since the purple-shirted dragon king is known as the dragon king, he has crossed the ocean and came to Middle-earth alone from Persia, not to mention anything else, this navigation technique alone is definitely a grandmaster-level figure in the heavenly plane, and as her daughter, Dai Qisi did not teach her advanced martial arts in order to let her mix in Mingjiao, but some such as disguise technique, Navigation, which is considered by people in the martial arts to be completely biased, is completely a skill for students, but Xiao Zhao has obtained the true inheritance of the purple-shirted Dragon King.

"Childe...... I ......" Xiao Zhao looked at Li Xuan with some apprehension, afraid that Li Xuan would see something, and was about to explain something, but was interrupted by Li Xuan.

"Okay, all the disciples obey the order." Li Xuan said aloud to everyone in the boat: "From now on, Xiao Zhao is responsible for commanding this warship, up to me Li Xuan, down to all the Ming Sect disciples present, you must be at the disposal of Xiao Zhao, if there is a violation or violation, it will be punished according to the canon!" ”

"Yes, obey the Sect's command!" Although I don't understand why Li Xuan handed over such an important position to a maid to take charge, but now the members of the Ming Sect have reached the point of worshiping Li Xuan, and they will not hesitate to implement Li Xuan's words, and they will agree to the words when they hear it.

"Thank you for your trust." Xiao Zhao looked at Li Xuan with some emotion, and his delicate little face became a little red because of excitement.

"Don't be too busy, from now on, the lives of our boatmen are pinned on you, if the ship is really wrecked and killed, even if it goes to the underworld, I will pull out your pants and slap your ass hard! Got it? ”

"Got it, Childe." Xiao Zhaojiao snorted, Rao is she has Persian ancestry, and her bones are far more open than that of Central Plains women, but she was also so ashamed that she was so embarrassed by Li Xuan's blatant robbery that her face was flushed, and her heart was rippling, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
