Chapter 265: Voyage in the Middle Sea
"It's almost time, Miss Shepherd, you are familiar with the direction of Zhonghai, and this time you will lead the way. Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Well, fake, I didn't ask before...... Okay, okay, since you invited so sincerely, the girl can't refuse, let's go. Mu Zijin pouted, and then walked to the front, and Xiang Yang and Chunxue also got on the boat together.
In this way, the three of them drove the boat all the way east......
"Shepherd girl, how long will it take to get from here to the Heavenly Martial Saint Capital of Zhonghai?" asked Xiang Yang, looking at the vast sea in front of him.
"Hehe, I can't stand it now, we have only walked out of Crescent Island for dozens of miles, and it is more than a thousand miles from here to Zhonghai, if we follow our current speed, there is nothing else to do along the way, it will take about ten days." Mu Zijin said with a smile.
"Decameron...... It's really far away, but it's a pity that you can't fly without permission in this sea, so you can only pass it slowly. Xiang Yang said helplessly.
"Xiang Yang, I received a message before, now the Zhonghai Islands and the Great Light Empire are at war, very not optimistic, now if you want to go to the Tianwu Continent, you need a pass, the pass should be specially handled on Ping'an Island, let's go there first, it will take about three days to get to Ping'an Island from here. Mu Zijin suddenly thought of something, and said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Well, in that case, let's go to Ping'an Island first, Miss Shepherd, to tell you the truth, now I am going for the alliance between Zhonghai and the Douwu Empire, so I have to rely on Miss Shepherd's guidance along the way to reach the Heavenly Martial Saint Capital as soon as possible. Xiang Yang nodded and said.
"I see...... I don't know how my brother and master are doing now......" Mu Zijin said with a sigh, and there seemed to be some sadness in his eyes.
"They have their own heavenly appearance, and they will be safe, don't worry, Miss Shepherd. Xiang Yang comforted.
So Xiang Yang and the others went all the way to Ping'an Island, and at this time, in the Bright Strait, the Great Bright Empire was beginning to fully mobilize.
"Report to Lord Proverb, our vanguard has withdrawn. The herald said to the old proverb.
"Well, I know, let's go down, hehe, Chief Sikong Knight, do you think we can win this attack on Zhonghai?" said to Sikong Tianming.
"If according to the comparison of strength, the strength of my Great Bright Empire should be much stronger than Zhonghai, if the masters of our Bright Sect are exhausted, then conquer Zhonghai in a snap of a finger. Sikong Tianming said truthfully.
"Don't be careless, in the south, there are still the remnants of the Heavenly Martial Arts Mansion that have not been eradicated, they are always thinking about overthrowing us, so it is impossible for us to use all our forces to attack Zhonghai, for example, Lord Dongfang Li needs to defend in the south to ensure the stability of the south, and this western expedition will have to rely on you as the general. The old proverb said slowly.
"Your subordinates will fight to the death. Sikong Tianming hugged his fists.
"Hehe, Chief Knight of the Sky, is it because the Holy Maiden is not here, your fighting spirit is not so strong?" said the ancient proverb with deep meaning.
"How dare you do this, it's just that when Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden was there, the prestige in the army was very high, and now that the Holy Maiden is gone, there will inevitably be some voices in the army. Sikong Tianming said helplessly.
"What about you? What do you think, now that Your Majesty has handed over the vanguard of the Western Expedition to you, can you afford this responsibility?" Gu Yan's eyes burst out with a gleam, and he looked at Sikong Tianming and said with a straight face.
"My subordinates think that their talents are not as good as those of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, but I am willing to do my best. Sikong Tianming said respectfully.
"Hehe, Chief Sikong Knight, tell me, what do you think of the old man compared to the Holy Maiden?" Gu Yan asked suddenly, Sikong Tianming's eyes widened for a while, he didn't know what Gu Yan meant by asking this.
"Lord Gu Yan, this ......," Sikong Tianming said with some embarrassment.
"It doesn't hurt to be straight. The old proverb waved his hand and said.
"If you talk about the politics of the DPRK and China, the ancient proverb may not be much different from Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, but ...... But if you are in command of the whole army, with all due respect to your subordinates, Lord Gu Yan is still far behind......" Sikong Tianming said in a slurred manner.
"Hahaha, the chief knight of the sky is really *, that's right, if you talk about the battlefield and the situation, the old man is indeed far inferior to the Oriental Phantom Feather, but now that Your Majesty has handed over the task of the Western Expedition to us, we must not let Your Majesty down." Gu Yan waved his hand and said, obviously not angry because of Sikong Taiming's words, although Gu Yan didn't want to admit it, he still had self-knowledge, and he was still much worse than Dongfang Phantom Yu.
"What does the ancient proverb mean ......," Sikong Tianming asked, he didn't know why the ancient proverb said this.
"Captain Sky Knight, you seem to have a sister. The old proverb laughed.
"But the old proverb said Lingyue, but she is still ......," Sikong Tianming said in surprise.
"Haha, don't be nervous, Sikong Lingyue, your sister has already returned from the Zhongzhou Abyss yesterday, and she can now be used as the combat power of our Bright Sect. The old proverb waved his hand gently.
"She's out...... That's really good, although she is only seventeen years old now, but her strength is already stronger than my brother, and now I don't know how strong it will be, as long as she is there, Zhonghai should not be difficult to win. Sikong Tianming said excitedly.
"After Your Majesty knows about this, he has decided to reward Sikong Ling Yue Jialou Tianma Bow, award it to the Earl of the Great Light Empire, and concurrently serve as the deputy commander of the Holy Hunting Legion, hehe, this battle is indispensable to her help, however, this Sikong Lingyue seems to be reluctant to come to the battlefield of the Western Expedition, Sikong Knight Chief, she seems to listen to you very much, right?" Gu Yan smiled, and then the corner of his mouth burst into a smile.
"Yes, Lingyue has been with her subordinates since she was a child, although her subordinates are not her own brothers, but they have long been close to her as compatriots. Sikong Tianming nodded.
"In this western expedition, her strength is our indispensable combat power, so there is a Knight Captain Lauskong to go and persuade her to contribute to my Great Bright Empire. The old proverb finally said what he was trying to do.
"Lingyue is a member of the Holy See, and she must be loyal to the Holy See, and her subordinates will look for her. Sikong Tianming hugged his fists.
"It's up to the Sky Knight. The ancient proverb also hugged his fists, and after Sikong Tianming left, the ancient proverb looked at the sky and sighed slowly.
Gu Yan knows that he is not good at military affairs, but since the departure of the Holy Maiden, His Majesty the Pope must train a new commander-in-chief, and now many generals are subordinates of the Holy Maiden, so the Pope is not very relieved, so the heavy responsibility of the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army also fell on the head of Gu Yan, but Gu Yan as the commander-in-chief of the war has not been smooth, especially although the strength of the vanguard army is stronger than Zhonghai, but even if there is an obvious strength gap, it still failed to capture Dongyun Island in Zhonghai, which really embarrassed Gu Yan, until yesterday I heard the news that Sikong Ling crossed out of the pass, although Gu Yan was not too relieved about Sikong Tianming, after all, he is the descendant of the saint, but he is very interested in Sikong Lingyue, and the ancient proverb has a hunch that this Sikong Lingyue will definitely be a world-famous powerhouse in the Great Light Empire in the future.
On the other hand, Xiang Yang, who had been floating on the sea for three days, finally saw an island, Xiang Yang was really sin these days, and he didn't feel it after a short period of sailing, but after a day, Xiang Yang's body began to have a bad reaction, his head began to become dizzy, and his body collapsed.
"Xiang Yang, it's time to wake up, it's time to wake up, we've arrived. Mu Zijin said happily.
"Ah, ah, here we are...... Too, great......" Xiang Yang slowly got up, at this time Xiang Yang's lips were white, the sea voyage in the past few days is simply worse than death, if he can, Xiang Yang would rather walk more on land than take this sea route.
"Yes, hehe, Xiang Yang, Sister Chunxue, you two, cheer up. Mu Zijin also immediately helped Chunxue up, Chunxue's pretty face is also pale now, and in the same way, she is not used to this kind of life at sea.
"At most, in two quarters of an hour, we will be able to go ashore, alas, you two......" Mu Zijin looked at Xiang Yang and Chunxue with a smug expression.
"Go, go, you grew up on the sea, how can we compare. Xiang Yang said angrily.
"Hee-hee, it's good to know, bear with me. Mu Zijin said with a smile.
Finally, two quarters of an hour later, the boat finally went ashore, Xiang Yang pulled the spring snow ashore, the moment the two stepped on the land, they suddenly felt a long-lost comfort, Xiang Yang suddenly had some tears in his eyes, finally went ashore, finally went ashore......
"Chunxue, are you okay?" said Xiang Yang softly, he gently took Chunxue's hand and looked at her worriedly.
"Well, Yang, I'm fine......" Chunxue nodded, her heart was warm, and soon, the two of them looked at each other, and a different kind of affection lingered in their hearts, and then they kissed each other gently, and the scene was full of charm for a while.
"Alas, ah, you ......" Mu Zijin also got off the boat, she anchored the boat on the shore, turned around and was about to find Xiang Yang, and what caught her eyes was the kiss between Xiang Yang and Chunxue, and suddenly her little face turned red, and Xiang Yang and Chunxue also separated with red faces after hearing Mu Zijin's voice.
"Well, ahem, shepherd girl, where are we going now?" said Xiang Yang, pretending to be nonchalant.
"Well, now we are in the west of Ping'an Island, and the pass is in Ping'an Town, a few miles east of here, Xiang Yang, when we arrive at Ping'an Island, it is already our Zhonghai territory, and when we get the pass, we will go directly to the Tianwu Continent in the southeast. Mu Zijin also nodded and said.
"That's fine, then let's go. Xiang Yang nodded, and then pulled Chunxue and followed Mu Zijin all the way to the east.
