Chapter 379: The so-called: The rivers and lakes are sinister
Sure enough, as Xiyuan expected, soon the leaders of the "Yubo Party" came back with gratifying news, and those Jianghu forces agreed to go to the appointment. Although there was no clear intention to form an alliance, since they had arrived, it was an intention to form an alliance.
In this way, Xi Xue also changed his face and was reborn, leaving the "Floating Building", like a drop of water mixed into the sea, and disappeared into the "Ark Giant Ship". From this moment on, he will act alone, hiding in the shadows. As for how to communicate after separation, of course, it is to continue to "read novels". Both parties have agreed on the code language, and through the content of the novel, Xi Xue can understand the situation of the Xiyuan sisters.
His destination was the "Heavenly Prison". The "dungeon" is not on the upper deck of the giant ship, but in the middle tier. Of course, this kind of place for felons and death row inmates does not exist in the upper floors of the giant ship. Not just because the prisoners were not eligible to be held in the upper echelons, but also because of security concerns. In case a prisoner escapes and disturbs the elites at the top, this pot is not something that anyone can afford to carry.
Through the huge elevator, Xi Xue came to the floor where the "Heavenly Prison" was located. As soon as he got out of the elevator, Xi Ze was "greeted" by two patrol officers wearing powered exoskeletons, and was asked to show his ID and verify his fingerprints and iris. Xi Ze accepted the investigation very cooperatively, and the result was, of course, that there was no problem at all.
Although there is no danger or danger, Xi Ze also realizes that the security vigilance at this level has been significantly strengthened. He had to sigh at the speed of the reaction of the Han court. You must know that it has only been two and a half hours since the exposure of "50 billion dark flowers". The fact that the Han court is so nervous seems to explain one thing from the level, that is, the court is indeed very jealous of the forces of the rivers and lakes.
Then, Xi Xue took a car and reported a location close to the "prison". The taxi was stopped several times by the patrol police. Along the way, the driver of the taxi complained a lot, saying that the guys were full and panicked. Xi Xue responded with a smile. It's just that I didn't expect that when there were still five kilometers away from the "heavenly prison", the road would be closed and vehicles would be forbidden to pass!
Xi had no choice but to pay to get out of the car. A distant glance at the blocked road and a pyramid-shaped building beyond. The pyramid-shaped building is the "Heavenly Prison". It is surrounded by a huge man-made lake. According to the available information, this artifact contains a large group of shark-toothed rabid fish - equivalent to the previous piranhas, as long as a living creature falls, it will be instantly smacked and there will be no bones left.
At the same time, this huge artificial lake is also electrified around the clock, and if a living person falls into it, even if he is not drowned, he is not eaten by a shark-toothed mad fish, he will be electrocuted by a high-voltage current. Of course, it's all just hors d'oeuvres. As a place for extremely dangerous and heavy prisoners in the Han Empire, the security measures here are clearly not as good as this. Legend has it that there are even a few powerful warriors who are at least the "champion" level here.
If you want to rob the Heavenly Prison, probably the safest way is to hire a generalissimo/peerless warrior-level powerhouse. However, there are several such strong people in this world, and even if there are, why would they come to rob the prison?
In a word, the security guards of the "Heavenly Prison" are very strict, and it is difficult to rob prisoners!
However, there are thousands of difficult things in the world, but there seems to be no shortage of brave people or greedy people who challenge difficulties. After Xi Ze got out of the car, he began to walk along the street, wandering aimlessly like a shopping shopper, and even went into the store to buy some things. In the process, he consciously or unconsciously perceived his surroundings, but found a lot of molecules. Some of these people are very clever in disguise, and Xi Xue can't see that they have a problem, while some are very rough and can see bad intentions at a glance.
Needless to say, these guys are definitely stepping on the spot!
The allure of 50 billion is really extraordinary, and people have already started to act.
Xi Xue walked around three streets and found that the three intersections leading to the "Heavenly Prison" were blocked. At the intersection checkpoint, there are fierce military police, and the scary muzzles and mecha people dare not approach. You must know that the "Heavenly Prison" is usually used as a tourist attraction, allowing people to visit and take pictures close to the artificial lake. But now even the road is closed. Needless to say, some other roads must have been sealed as well.
At this time, Xi Xue saw a teahouse in front of him that looked good, so he walked over with the big bags and small bags he bought from shopping. As soon as he entered the teahouse, he instantly felt that at least ten streams of attention were concentrated on him. The guests on the first floor of the tea room looked at him with a pair of eyes, intentionally or unintentionally. Although the guests here were chatting and drinking tea with their partners, Xi Xue could see at a glance that they were absent-minded, and it was obvious that the drunkard did not mean to drink.
Xi Ze felt like he had entered a black shop, or rather...... Entered the "rivers and lakes"!
During the time he spent with the Xiyuan sisters, Xi Xue also heard some anecdotes about the Han Empire, which sounded as if he was listening to a story. Xi Xue can be said to be born in the military, so he has never been exposed to the taste of rivers and lakes. But at this moment, I don't know why, he actually has an absurd feeling of stepping into the rivers and lakes.
The waiter greeted him and said apologetically to Xi Xue that they were already full of customers. Xi Xue glanced at it, and sure enough, it was full of people, so he nodded understandingly, and replied, "Then I'll go somewhere else." But at this moment, a young man suddenly raised his hand and said, "Friend, if you don't dislike it, how about you come and share a table with us?" ”
Although it is said that there is nothing to offer, it is either treachery or theft, but everyone has already sent out invitations, and Xi Xue really wants to sit down and touch the situation here, so he simply responded and sat down with a large bag and a small bag.
Xi Xue said: "This brother, thank you so much. I've been walking all the way, and my tired feet are sore. "The big man is not called "Mr. and Ms.", the man is generally called "brother" and "friend", and the woman is called "girl" and "miss". Rest assured, addressing Miss Young Woman here will not be taken as an insult.
The young man smiled and said, "You're welcome! What a lot of effort. Yo, looking at a friend's big bag and small bag, isn't it possible to go shopping with a good friend? Xi Xue said: "No." I don't have much time to spare, so I went out for a walk and bought some clothes and gadgets that I liked. I didn't want to go to the [Heavenly Prison] to have a look, but I didn't want the road to be blocked. It's never been a thing, and I don't know why. ”
The young man said: "Haha, then we can sympathize with each other." These friends and I also want to see the demeanor of the [Heavenly Prison]. But I don't want my wish to be disappointed and have nowhere to go, so I can only come to this teahouse to pass the time and discuss where to go next. To tell you the truth, a few of us are tourists from out of town. I will leave soon, and if I miss this time, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to see the legendary [Heavenly Dungeon]. Oh, look at me, I have spoken, and I haven't introduced myself yet, and I am moving under Xu Xiao. ”
Xi Ze said: "Hello, my name is Tian Ze." ”
"Is Brother Tian from the capital?"
"Yes, blessed by the ancestors, there is a place to live in this emperor......"
So, Xi Xue chatted with the people at this table. Reality Xu Xiaodong, then one of his female companions, Lin Qingxia, followed by the other two who also joined the conversation. The atmosphere is fun. When it came to the end of the chat, Xu Xiaodong also enthusiastically asked Xi Xue to drink a pot of 988 Longjing before the rain, and he couldn't push that enthusiasm.
However, Xi chooses who he is. Xu Xiaodong and a few people were enthusiastic, but they were secretly using Xi Xue's words, and they were always able to grasp the key points in Xi Xue's words, and then ask questions about the situation, what they had seen and heard about the "Heavenly Prison", as well as what he did with "Tian Xue", what interesting things happened in the capital recently, etc., but they didn't make people feel disgusted at all. Xi Ze simply pretended to be completely unaware, and said something.
Chatting and chatting, suddenly Xi Xue Yu caught something, and looked over unconsciously, but after only one glance, his gaze was a little unable to take it back. I saw a group of beautiful girls walking down from the upper floor of this teahouse. These girls are all very good-looking, wearing retro-style long skirts, holding long swords, and walking down from the stairs, their clothes fluttering, like fairies descending to earth.
However, Xi Xue has never seen any beauties, so don't say anything else, Wei Lijia can kill all the opposite sex with her appearance in seconds, if it is just her appearance, it is obviously not enough to make Xi Xue unable to take her eyes off. The reason why he couldn't take his eyes off was because in this group of "fairies descending to earth", he saw a familiar figure.
Xi Xue's memory also gets stronger with his strength, although he will not forget it, but he will not forget those who have crossed paths with him. That familiar figure is not Zhu Yingfang (ps: chapter 142) that he met when he was practicing martial arts in the "Zangfeng Martial Arts Hall" in Yangzhou City! The intersection of the two made Xi Ze quite impressed. It can even be said that he was able to become Huo Weiyi's personal heir, and Zhu Yingfang also did his part.
At the beginning, he cooperated with her, made a bet with Huo Weiyi, and touched Huo Weiyi's clothes, so that he was able to be accepted by Huo Weiyi. As for Zhu Yingfang, she was sent away by Huo Weiyi with a letter of recommendation, and there is no way to know where she went, and Xi Xue did not pay special attention to her. I just didn't expect to meet her again at this time.
Xu Xiaodong saw that "Tian Xue" looked at the disciples of the Emei faction intently, and said with a joking smile: "Brother Tian, aren't you tempted?" Xi Xue reacted, of course, he wouldn't say that he saw his acquaintances, hehe smiled, didn't deny or admit it, "They are dressed so specially." It's really not long in this imperial capital. Could it be a star who shoots TV? ”
"Haha, Brother Tian, this is wrong. They are not celebrities, of course, even stars are not as good-looking as them. I don't know if Brother Tian has ever heard of the Emei faction? ”
Xi Xue said: "Emei faction? I've heard that in martial arts novels, as well as in film and television works, the appearance rate of the Emei faction is quite high. Hey? Could it be that there really is an Emei faction in this world? ”
As soon as Xi Ze's words fell, he heard a coquettish reprimand: "Boy, what did you say?" Before the sound fell, a gust of incense had already swept in. A woman in a yellow shirt appeared in front of Xi Ze's eyes in an instant, her pretty face full of anger.
"What?" Xi Ze looked confused.
Xu Xiaodong hurriedly said: "This fairy is not strange. This friend of mine is not from the rivers and lakes, and I have not heard of the name of your faction, so please forgive me if I am offended. ”
Of course, Xi Xue didn't know that saying things like "I haven't heard" in front of a well-known sect in the rivers and lakes would undoubtedly slap people in the face, and of course they would anger them.
The woman in the yellow shirt said: "Ignorance is not your fault, but ignorance has to be shown, and that is your fault." After speaking, the long sword came out of its sheath in an instant, and it made a cut on Xi Xue's chest, tearing open his clothes, but it didn't hurt the flesh and skin, "Shut your mouth!" "Put your sword in your sheath and go away proudly.
Xi Xue seemed to be frightened silly, and the pestle remained motionless, watching the group of beautiful girls in ancient costumes leave the teahouse in a daze.
Xu Xiaodong "tsk" admired, "It deserves to be a famous name." Brother Tian, are you okay? In his opinion, this Tian Xuan was completely unjustified.
"Oh, no, it's okay," Xi Ze touched his chest, "What the hell is going on?" Where did I say the wrong thing? ”
Xu Xiaodong said: "You didn't say anything wrong, it's really this river and lake, it's too sinister." ”
