Text Chapter 168 Encounter on the Boat, etc
Although there is only one river called the Dry and Cold Boundary between the Central and Northern Regions, the Dry and Cold Boundary is very wide, and the waves of this river are very large, and the boat does not dare to travel too fast on it, so even if the boat departs this morning, it will not reach the other side of the river until the next morning.
It was dark, and Lu Shuangyang was lying alone on the deck......
Lu Shuangyang is not without a room to rest.
This huge ship was built by the Jiang family with a lot of money, in addition to a huge deck, there is also a large area of three-story houses, which are specially used for the accommodation of people crossing the river.
Lu Shuangyang is a noble person of the Jiang family, of course there is a room that belongs to him, and it is also the top room in this ship, but Lu Shuangyang prefers to watch the moonlight here.
Lu Shuangyang is really annoyed now, he originally wanted to go slowly, but he was involved in the dispute between the Jiang family and the Xie family in the northern city of the drought and cold realm, and he thought that after he got things done there, he would have nothing to do with there, but the head of the Jiang family actually let his own baby daughter Jiang Xiaoqi follow him...... Although it is said that it is a good thing to have beauty with you, I don't know how much trouble it will involve......
"Well, how should I tell her tomorrow morning?" Lu Shuangyang planned to wait for the boat to dock tomorrow, so he went to persuade Jiang Xiaoqi to go home. I think so, but Lu Shuangyang really doesn't want to speak! Lu Shuangyang closed his eyes helplessly.
"Oh, why are you here?" A female voice suddenly sounded.
"I still want to ask why you are here?" Lu Shuangyang didn't look at the owner of that voice, because he had heard a lot of this voice recently, and he didn't need to look at it to know that the owner of this voice would leave Jiang Xiaoqi in the northern city of the Drought and Cold Realm with him.
"I couldn't sleep and wanted to come out of the deck for a walk, I didn't expect to meet you here......"
Lu Shuangyang heard that the voice was very close to him, so he opened his eyes...... Lu Shuangyang was lying on his back, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Xiaoqi's beautiful face...... She stood next to Lu Shuangyang and looked down at him.
"Alas......"
When he opened his eyes and suddenly saw such a good-looking face, Lu Shuangyang was also a little distracted......
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing ......" Lu Shuangyang sat up, thinking that he was too unproductive, he had seen this face many times, why did he still lose his mind?
"Are you surprised that I followed you!" Jiang Xiaoqi sat down next to Lu Shuangyang.
"It's quite unexpected......" Lu Shuangyang said in a very calm tone, trying not to show the dissatisfaction in his heart, "I didn't expect your father to let you out." ”
"Actually, I was quite surprised. Jiang Xiaoqi said with a smile, "I have been living in the northern city of the drought and cold realm all these years, although I have a three-story Xuan Pagoda cultivation, but I have never been out of the gate once, to be honest, I really want to see what the outside world is like, to see what this three-day domain is like!"
"Well, I also want to see what the entire Three-Day Domain is like, after all, the first Heavenly Rank we are in now is only a part of the Three-Day Domain......" Lu Shuangyang had a similar idea.
"But my father didn't allow him, he didn't allow me to leave, he didn't want me to be in danger," Jiang Xiaoqi continued, "Of course I know that my father is for my good, but I don't want my life to be limited to the ...... of the northern city of the drought and cold world."
"Then why did he ......" Lu Shuangyang was puzzled.
"After leaving your yard last night, my father came to me and asked me if I wanted to go out and practice...... Although I was surprised, I still said what I really thought, so my dad said that it was okay to let me out, but I had to follow you, he thought you were a trustworthy person. Jiang Xiaoqi looked at Lu Shuangyang with a smile.
"Trustworthy ......"
Lu Shuangyang was as calm as water on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent, and he had been thinking about how to persuade Jiang Xiaoqi to go back, but after listening to Jiang Xiaoqi's words, Lu Shuangyang was really embarrassed to let her go back...... A girl who wants to see the world but has never had a chance, after waiting for so long to finally have a chance, do you want to persuade her to give up this idea? No, this is too cruel.
"Forget it, just let her follow......" Lu Shuangyang said to himself in his heart, "Anyway, she is also a Xuanta cultivator with a three-layer cultivation, so it shouldn't be too troublesome." ”
Cultivators of the Xuan Pagoda can use the Xuan Qi to resist the weather, and they can also use the Xuan Qi to hurry, which is much better than bringing an ordinary person.
"You have to be mentally prepared!" Lu Shuangyang said not because he wanted to drive her away, but to remind, "The road I am going to take next is full of thorns." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hold you back. Although Jiang Xiaoqi has not left the northern city of the drought and cold realm for many years, she has been preparing for going out to practice, and her Xuanta cultivation is also prepared for this.
"She's not actually the kind of pampered eldest lady......" Lu Shuangyang thought in his heart, and suddenly felt an aggressive Xuan Qi fluctuation suddenly appear behind him, and the target seemed to be him.
Although Lu Shuangyang was very surprised, after all, there was no sense there, and that Xuan Qi fluctuation seemed to appear there out of thin air, but Lu Shuangyang still remained calm, Lu Shuangyang hurriedly stood up and hugged Jiang Xiaoqi with a princess hug.
"Draw ......"
"Oh, I was dodged, but too, it's you, after all!"
In the place where Lu Shuangyang and Jiang Xiaoqi were sitting just now, there was now a middle-aged man in black standing, and at this time, Lu Shuangyang had already retreated a few meters away with Jiang Xiaoqi in his arms...... The clothes on Lu Shuangyang's arm were shallowly cut open, if Lu Shuangyang's dodge was a little slower just now, I am afraid that this cut would be bloody.
"You are, the head of the Xie family, Xie wait!" With the help of the moonlight, Lu Shuangyang saw clearly the appearance of the man in black who attacked them, this person he and Jiang Xiaoqi both knew, it was Xie and the head of the Xie family who invited them to tea in that courtyard that night.
"Haven't you been evacuated? Why are you here?" Jiang Xiaoqi was a little excited when she was picked up by Lu Shuangyang at first, but after calming down, she saw Xie and others feeling a little panicked.
"I see...... By this time, Lu Shuangyang had already roughly guessed what was going on, "In the northern city of the drought and cold realm before, after being eliminated from those gathering points, you gave up confronting the Jiang family head-on...... No, maybe you didn't even think about confronting the Jiang family head-on, and you didn't care about those gathering points being wiped out, because your goal was me!"
"You're very self-aware!" Xie and the others were not in a hurry to make a move, and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"You pretended to evacuate, so that the people of the Jiang family thought that you had given up and reused the river crossing station. And you also expected that I would leave on the boat from the river crossing station, so you pretended to be an ordinary passenger and got on the same boat with me, and when the boat reached the middle of the river, it would be difficult for me to leave the boat, and you could make a move on me, right?" Lu Shuangyang looked at Xie and the others coldly.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Xie and others clapped their hands and applauded: "Father said that you are very witty, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, and you can even guess our plan." ”
"Are you wearing an air-sheltering stone?" Lu Shuangyang asked.
"What is that?" Xie and the others showed puzzled expressions.
Lu Shuangyang was speechless for a while, at this time Lu Shuangyang didn't think that Xie and the others would lie to him, so I am afraid that he really didn't know what the air shield was.
"The stones you used to make the entrance to the dark room......"
"Oh, you said that, it turns out that those ores are called gas shields. "Xie waited for a look to know, not like pretending, "Many years ago, we found a mine, where the ore is beautiful and hard, which can be used as a building material and processed into jewelry, and I also have some ...... on me."
"Uh......" Hearing Xie and others' words, Lu Shuangyang and Lin Yin in Lingxuanzhi were speechless for a while, if Xie and others were telling the truth, then what the Xie family found was a primitive air-sheltering stone cave, and the air-shielding stone was an ordinary thing in the heavenly level, but this thing was a very cherished thing on the first day, how to sell some air-shielding stones, the Xie family's losses could be made up soon, and there was still a need to fight with the Jiang family for the river crossing station? But it's useless to tell him now, because Xie and the others are now coming for one of the top ten divine objects in Lu Shuangyang's body, and one of the top ten divine objects is more attractive to him.
"Do you really want to do it with me here?" Lu Shuangyang looked around, this is the deck of the ship, if you start here, with the strength of the two of you, I am afraid that it will not only destroy the deck, but if it is serious, it will cause the ship to sink.
"It's okay!" Xie waited for a look of indifference, "Now our Xie family's private boat is heading in this direction, if this ship sinks, I will take you to leave on that ship." ”
"What about the other people on this ship?" Jiang Xiaoqi asked, because this boat was the first ship to resume operation after a period of suspension at the river crossing station, there were many civilian businessmen on this ship.
"What does their life and death have to do with our Xie family?" Xie and others sneered, "As long as we can keep our Xie family, what is the sacrifice of these people?"
"You!" Jiang Xiaoqi's expression was very ugly, he didn't expect that the person who was drinking tea with them calmly in the courtyard turned out to be such a ruthless person.
Lu Shuangyang was silent for a while......
"What's the matter, don't you feel overwhelmed?There's no way?" Xie and the others noticed Lu Shuangyang's silence, "If you know that you can't help it, just admit defeat, I don't actually want to smash this boat, after all, as long as we take the river crossing station, this thing is even our Xie family's thing, and missing this boat is a huge loss......"
"Unforgivable ......"
"Huh?" Xie and the others heard Lu Shuangyang seem to whisper something.
"I can't forgive you people who hurt innocent lives like you!"
