Chapter 862: The sea is smooth
At the end of February and the beginning of March, when the spring scenery is the best, Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian rode the wind hand in hand. Along the way, see the flowers, enjoy the flowing clouds and waterfalls, and listen to the sound of swallows and warblers.
On the evening of the second day of the first month of March, when they arrived at the mouth of the river, they saw the golden glow of the sea and the sunset.
Amazed, the two flew to the right naval camp together, and only then landed at the gate of the camp, and a small soldier immediately came to report: "Yu Guoshi, Hu Yuanjun, General Lei has led his troops to fight the Dongying pirates on Nameless Island." "
Cheng Haofeng frowned, didn't he let Lei Peng sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for Kuai Morixiong to fight with those pirates before sending soldiers to make up and go to the secret help? Why did you directly send troops to fight in the open war?
After questioning the soldier, he learned that although the banshee on the other side would not kill wantonly, it could make people have no power to resist, and the rabble gathered by Kuaimori Xiong was vulnerable, and Lei Peng sent people to secretly help him was also defeated repeatedly, and the Dongying pirates not only burned and looted on the waterway, but also occupied the nameless island.
Nameless Island was a reef less than ten miles in circumference, far from Yuezhou and close to a larger island in Dongying, but the French Dynasty had set up a post on the island to facilitate the supply of soldiers patrolling the sea.
Dare to occupy my territory, of course, Lei Peng has to lead the troops to attack, but at the time of the battle, only a few soldiers with good martial arts and heavy morale retain their combat effectiveness, and the rest of the soldiers are weak in bones.
Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian glanced at each other, and flew towards the nameless island with solemn expressions.
The sea is vast, it is difficult to discern the direction, Cheng Haofeng is relatively unfamiliar with the situation in the sea, and Hu Xianxian does not understand the situation at sea at all, the two of them are anxious, but they go around and around, from the sunset to the moon, they arrive at the nameless island.
There were a few small stone houses on the island, a few small groves, and some pirates in fancy clothes stood in formation on the outer edge of the island, chanting unintelligible words.
Some of the French soldiers were on boats, some were in the shallow water of the beach, and most of them were fascinated by singing and dancing, and they did not cry out in pain or resist when they were shot by arrows.
In the sky above the two armies, a woman danced in the air, and many fine crystalline powders were thrown out of her hands.
The woman was graceful and graceful, wearing a rose red sleeveless crop top and a rose red gold-trimmed long skirt, and her style was completely different from the kimono worn by the Dongying women, some like the clothes of a woman.
But this woman is even more beautiful and enchanting than the woman, she is the alien cultivator who claims to be the apprentice of the silkworm mother?
Hu Xianxian summoned the Huixin Jade Sword and immediately flew forward to fight her, Cheng Haofeng pulled her and took her to the warship to see Lei Peng.
The boat was far away from the woman, and most of the soldiers on the ship were sober, but they also felt dizzy, and even Lei Peng patted his forehead from time to time to relieve the discomfort.
Lei Peng briefly introduced the woman, who claimed to be a disciple of the silkworm Niangniang, named "Buddha Butterfly", and her body was a colorful butterfly.
The powder sprinkled in his hand is made by collecting the pollen of mandala flowers and adding pearl powder, called "dream powder", which looks crystal clear and sparkles, smells fragrant and rich, but can make people nervous.
Hu Xianxian smiled and said, "I see. This battle doesn't have to be flesh and blood, and it's just psychedelic magic if you don't fight. "
Lei Peng was puzzled, and Cheng Haofeng said: "Buddha Butterfly's Dream Fan can control many people at a time, but the control range is limited, and the control strength is not strong, which is much weaker than the fog hidden network." In this battle, let's see my junior sister show her power alone, you and I can just watch the battle. ”
Like an eyebrow and a thin moon, Hu Xianxian flew up in the air, spreading a net of fog and shadows, and the Buddha Butterfly was very surprised, and her dancing body was already covered in the net.
The incident happened suddenly, and before the pirates could see what was going on, the battle situation had changed.
When he was on the boat, Hu Xianxian had noticed a lot of Lan Xun wood sent by Qin Mufeng, and asked the soldiers on the ship to light the Lan Xun wood and send it down, the incense wind was wafting, and the frenzied soldiers gradually sobered up and launched a fierce attack on the island.
"The defeat is decided, will you surrender obediently, or will you resist to the end?" Hu Xianxian asked Buddha Butterfly across the net.
Unexpectedly, Buddha Die quickly responded, "I am willing to surrender, please let me out, and never mix with pirates again." ”
Silkworm Niangniang is very respected by the Dongying people and the coastal people of the French Dynasty, and her water green robe may be woven by Silkworm Niangniang, worried that she is really a silkworm Niangniang's apprentice, Hu Xianxian did not make it too difficult for her.
With a shake of the net, Hu Xianxian withdrew the fog and gapless net, and a big butterfly with yellow, orange, purple, and black spots on it flew out with a blue bottom.
In an instant, the butterfly turned into a beauty, and the phoenix eyes stared at Hu Xianxian, ignoring the pirates who fell on the beach, turned around and flew towards the open sea.
The figure faded away, and a delicate voice came from afar, "Today's defeat is because I have other urgent matters on my body, and I don't want to fight with you." You remember, sooner or later I will wash away the humiliation of today's defeat. "
"Okay, I'll wait for you to fight again." Hu Xianxian smiled proudly, he hadn't been so happy for a long time.
After that, Hu Xianxian and Cheng Haofeng were in the Lei Peng military camp or watched the naval exercises, or secretly helped Kuai Senxiong to subdue the pirates of various small islands not far from Dongying mainland, and Cheng Haofeng was in charge of the overall arrangement, Hu Xianxian only wanted to fight and kill with hatred, and lived a carefree life.
On the sixth day of the first month of March, in the spacious and comfortable and beautifully decorated bedroom of Kuai Dashao in the capital city, it was almost time, and the grandmother had not returned from the play, and the maids and servants were not there, and he couldn't drink a sip of tea if he wanted to.
Before the days of being the master of the Kuai family really began, he suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, although it was suspected that Kuai Diancong was drugged, but he had no evidence and no reliable cronies, so he could only watch Kuai Diancong grasp the real power, pretending to be stupid and waiting for death.
The sound of opening the door sounded, and the call of the yellow warbler came: "Dad, my daughter has come to see you." ”
"Lil? Tea, I'm going to drink tea. ”
"You don't have to drink tea, I'll bring you a decoction."
Kuai Dashao got angry, "I want tea!" I've been taking medicine enough times these days that I'm almost throwing up! Bring me tea. ”
"Good medicine is good for disease, Dad, how can you be as afraid of taking medicine as a child?" Kuai Lier put the medicine bowl on the table, helped Kuai Dashao to half-sit on the head of the bed, and then handed the medicine bowl to his lips.
Kuai Da Shao was angry, turned his head, and closed his eyes.
"Dad, you want to get better sooner, right? You still want to fight with Uncle Eight, right? Then drink the medicine. Don't worry, after drinking, I will give you candied fruit and sugar water, but you can't drink tea, because the tea has a conflict with the medicinal properties. Kuailier coaxed.
Kuai Dashao had to drink it, and after drinking it, he quickly ate a candied fruit, "This medicine is too bitter......
Kua Li'er "quack" laughed strangely, "Is it bitter?" This medicine is indeed a good medicine, haha, Uncle Eighth just wants you to be paralyzed for a long time, he deliberately caused some civil strife and ruined the Kuai family, alas, how can I watch the Kuai family be destroyed? I increased the amount of medicine very hard, and also instructed my subordinates to increase the number of times you drank the medicine. Dad, you still only feel bitter at this time? "
Kuai Dashao already had a faint abdominal pain just now, but he didn't think much about it, and after hearing Kuai Lier say this, he had abdominal pain! Is the drug three parts toxic, is it the toxicity caused by the excessive dosage?
His mind was dizzy, and he wondered: How could it be? Kuai Diancong took medicine to paralyze me in bed, and slowly treated me with medicine, but my own daughter actually increased the amount of medicine so that I couldn't recover? No, no, no, she didn't make me recover, she was going to kill me......
Kuai Dashao was in a cold sweat in pain, gritted his teeth and forced the last trace of sobriety and asked, "Li'er!" I ...... to you I have done enough for you to be a father, why did you harm me? Compared to your grandfather's ...... to me Do you yourself say I'm good to you? ”
"You are a little more humane than grandpa, you can be regarded as a qualified father......" Kuailier had two lines of tears on her cheeks, but she smiled with tears, "Hmph, but you shouldn't use my lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits!" He also used me twice, and the fact that Zhuo Wuao and blood were innocent broke my heart! "
"They didn't do anything to you...... You didn't suffer......" Kuai Dashao didn't expect this to be the reason.
"You don't think you're at a loss, but I can't trust anyone anymore! I never had a better vision for life anymore, and my life has been ruined. Since it is so difficult for people to live and pursue all the good, then I can only fight for power, and I will not be hurt if I am ruthless enough! "
After the roar, Kua Li'er raised her hands and fluttered her wide sleeves, and she quickly turned away, regardless of her father pleading behind her for help.
Kuai Dashao's voice was very loud, but he couldn't say the whole sentence, and he groaned miserably. The moaning sound is eerie and eerie. His eyes first looked out of the door beggingly, and after finding that Clarier had transferred the others, his eyes were desperate, and after despair, he was very resentful.
He lost his breath, and with his eyes open and a look of resentment, he went to the underworld.
Because of his death, the Kuai family was even more chaotic, and Duan Mengrou, who had a lot of contacts with the Kuai family, also helped deal with some things when she went to the funeral, and stayed in Kuai Mansion at night and did not return to Zixiao Palace, and Shui Miaoxu also accompanied her.
In the early morning of the eighth day of the first month of March, Shui Wuxian had been in Zixiao Palace for three days, and after Duan Mengrou and Shui Miaoxu joined forces to open up the meridians for her, she was in a coma for a long time.
After waking up, because her whole body was temporarily stiff and numb, Shui Miaoxu thought that she would wake up for a long time, so she didn't ask others to take care of her after going out with Duan Mengrou.
Because of the hunger of Shui Wuxian panicked, he tried his legs and feet hard, and he was able to move freely, picked up a small burden next to the pillow, opened the baggage, took a fan inside and walked out.
That fan is the Shuiyue fan, which is used by the owner of Yun Lao Zhuang for the eldest daughter Yun Biqiong for self-defense, and the second daughter Yun Bise is prepared for the mirror flower fan for self-defense.
After Yun Biqiong died, Yun Bise gave the water moon fan to Shui Wuxian and took it away.
Because he has never walked around in Zixiao Palace, Shui Wuxian has been used to being bullied since he was a child, and he is extremely cautious and cautious, so he knows how to take the Shuiyue Fan to defend himself at a young age.
After going around the pavilions for almost half an hour, he didn't find the kitchen, and most of the people in Zixiao Palace were cultivating at the moment, unlike the Zhuang Ding and the servants on duty at night in Qiyun Villa, and they didn't see anyone to ask for directions, and they unconsciously walked into the grove between the back cliff and Zixiao Palace.
There was a small hut in the woods, and Shui Wuxian overheard someone talking, as if several women were plotting something.
The wooden doors and windows of the thatched hut were tightly closed, and in addition to the light orange light on the window paper, there was also a faint blue-green shimmer, which was blocked from the outside world by someone using a spiritual light mask.
But apparently, the mana of the person who arranged the mask was not very high, and although he couldn't see or hear what the people inside were doing or saying, there was also a vague murmur coming out.
