Chapter 321: The Blind Chariot!
Beichuan Port is located in the northwest, with a cold climate and few people. During the war, in order to transport baggage to the important place in northern Xinjiang, there are snowstorms in the surrounding waters all the year round, and there are few fishermen, and it is very Huangliang Village.
To the north is an endless ocean of ice, with wind and snow running rampant, and the cold is extreme. Humans are gone, birds and beasts are extinct, and it is a forbidden place for death.
Therefore, the Gu clan fought against the northern barbarians for many years, but never took the waterway to attack. The endless ocean of ice is like a moat on the sea, isolating the signs of human activity.
Early in the morning. A cold wind blows in the north, and snow falls in the sky. The shore of the dock is silvery white, but there is a detachment of men and horses stationed here, as if waiting to be welcomed.
"It's fucking cold!"
Ding Hui shrank his head, looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and muttered in his mouth. As a small official of the Ministry of Etiquette, coming to greet distinguished guests should be valued by the boss in a logical way, a matter of beauty.
But he didn't think so, and his colleagues refused to come in the ghost weather of the frozen people in the north. There is also the identity and status of the person to be greeted is extraordinary, and it will be bad luck if you don't serve it well.
"Ding Hui, you are a junior valued by the official, if this errand is done well, the official will give you a reward when he returns to the imperial capital!"
remembered that before leaving, Lu Houdao, the head boss of the Ministry of Rites, sat on a big chair and instructed himself without being salty or indifferent. Ding Hui wanted to scold her mother in her heart. This old dog-Nikko said that he didn't practice, and if he had a difficult errand, he would hand it over to himself, and he did a good job of 'hehe', and he didn't say anything about scolding his father and mother, and he had to take the blame himself.
I don't know how much I have eaten.
Although he was full of complaints, Ding Hui did not dare to slack off on this mission. Because the object he is about to greet is revered as the Holy Lord by the bereaved people, dominating the sea of stars and arrogantly surpassing the powerhouses of the two empires.
Weihai Gong, Fang Xiaobao!
The duke is a minister, not to mention, people are only superficially subservient, and they don't take the Gu dynasty in their eyes at all. The defeat from the king of Nanyue is enough to witness.
In Ding Hui's words, this master is not a good stubble, if the reception is not good, he will be killed on the spot, and I believe that the court will not let out half a fart.
If you don't get a reward for taking a risk, you may have to take the blame. This is the sorrow of a lowly official.
Thinking of this, Ding Hui straightened his waist, the chill on his body seemed to slow down a little, and his eyes stared at the sea in the distance without blinking. So far, the only thing he can do is to receive this big man well, make the other party satisfied, and he does not seek merit but no fault.
Get the message in advance. I came to the pier early in the morning and waited for more than three hours, and finally ...... There is a condition on the sea surface.
"Lord Ding, here!"
Captain Wang, who was stationed at Beichuan Port with a monocular in his hand, saw an ironclad ship approaching from the distant sea. The blood-colored skull flag hanging high on the mast, you don't have to think about it to know that the main owner is coming.
"Cheer up, don't be rude!"
Ding Hui hurriedly patted the snow on his clothes, and at the same time instructed his subordinates to greet the distinguished guests with the most energetic appearance. Not long after, as the ironclad ship got closer and closer, there was a sudden strange cry from the sky.
When the people on the dock looked up, they saw a monster that looked like a bird and a lizard, flapping its wings and swooping from a high altitude.
"Ahh
"Archers prepare! Shoot that monster, don't let it get close! ”
Captain Wang was shocked. Beckoning his men to attack. Ding Hui had good eyesight, and when he saw a young man standing on the back of this monster, he hurriedly shouted to stop him: "Don't move!" This should be Weihai Gong's people! ”
Before coming to greet him, Ding Hui also did his homework and had an understanding of the situation in Xinghai. The three major islands of the Star Sea produce all kinds of strange star beasts, and the relics on the island are good at raising and controlling the methods of star beasts.
If nothing else, this lizard monster is a beast pet raised by Xinghai, and if it is shot and injured, it will definitely be unlucky.
Captain Wang also saw that there was someone on the monster's back, and followed Ding Hui's suggestion to withdraw the attack order.
A dozen seconds at most. The monster swooped down and hovered in mid-air at the dock. Unfolded the wings that were six or seven meters long, and flapped a fan in the air, setting off a violent wind, blowing the people below and so on, unable to stand on their feet.
"The Holy Lord of my family is about to land on the shore, and all the idlers and others will avoid it, otherwise if there is any damage, don't blame us for not telling us in advance!"
Monster on the back. A delicate-looking young man, staring straight down with blazing eyes, said these words.
"Damn! Lao Tzu is the official envoy appointed by the imperial court, when did he become an idle person, etc.! ”
Ding Hui slandered in his heart, his face was full of smiles, he bowed to the young man, and shouted: "This brother, my person Ding Hui, came to greet the Duke of Weihai at the behest of His Majesty, and I hope to convey the message!" ”
The monster that flew first was the mutated pterosaur that Fang Xiaobao captured from the mysterious space. The young man standing on the back of the pterosaur was his guard captain Zhang Jie.
There is a way to reach out and not hit a smiling person. Although he was ordered to come to greet the people sent by the Gu clan, he was a little dismounted. But when he saw Ding Hui saluting respectfully, with a smile on his face. Zhang Jie still couldn't pull his face.
"Lord Ding, there are many people in my family's holy master's entourage, you had better retreat a hundred meters, otherwise there will be inconvenience!"
Zhang Jie and Yan Yuese said this. Ding Hui was stunned after hearing this, he carefully checked the list of birthday greetings submitted by Xinghai, and the total number of people was only 100, so how could the word 'many' come from.
"I've already said what I should say, it's your business to let it or not!"
Zhang Jie didn't stay long. With a soft roar, the remaining pterodactyls immediately turned around and flew towards the ironclad ship approaching in the distance. On the dock, Ding Hui and Wang Junwei looked at each other and looked at each other.
"Lord Ding, let's ......"
"Retreat! Do as they say, and everyone steps back a hundred meters! ”
Ding Hui was very careful. This is also the main reason why he has served in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and he has been punished for countless times. No matter how good the errand is, it will not give anyone a handle on the surface.
He is an envoy and speaks on behalf of the court. Captain Wang had no objections. Soon, all personnel retreated to a distance of 100 meters.
Ten minutes at most. The ironclad ship docked. The big guy with a load capacity of 3,000 tons is rare in Beichuan Port, and the sergeants under the command of Captain Wang were all amazed when they saw it.
However, the situation that made them jaw-dropping is still to come.
Click-
Accompanied by a heavy sound of gold and iron crashing. The side of the ship was lifted all open, revealing the cabin. Immediately afterwards, a fierce beast burst out, including a mighty and domineering golden lion, a giant tiger with fangs stretched out, and a fierce beast like a tiger and a lion.
Roar Roar Roar ......
The roar continued, like muffled thunder, deafening. The scene is fierce and domineering, and it is difficult to describe it in words.
On the back of each beast is a knight. Some of these knights wore casual clothes, and some wore dark blue armor, and their outfits were very different, but all of them showed a wild and fierce atmosphere.
Just a few minutes. Nearly 100 fierce beasts boarded the dock and occupied a large area. Ding Hui saw it in his eyes, his heart palpitated and frightened, and at the same time, his face showed a look of realization. It's nothing more than the other party asking them to step back, just for this group of fierce beasts to land on the shore, they need enough space.
"Damn, I think the mainland is so good, it's cold and freezing, why is it like this!"
"You turtle, this is the north of the mainland, and it is common for the weather to be cold in winter!"
"It's cold, it's cold, it's snowing...... I'm not used to it! ”
"Let's not pull you, let's go back with the boat now!"
……
A group of men rode fierce beasts, talking, laughing and chatting, but they didn't pay attention to Ding Hui and the others who were waiting in the distance. Their words were rude, but Ding Hui didn't dare to despise them at all, the reason was very simple, he guessed that these people should all be the elite of Xinghai, the right-hand man of the Duke of Weihai, the strong man of the legacy!
Hundreds of people, men and women, old and young, rode fierce beasts from the cabin to the dock. As for the main master. Ding Hui believes that he will show his head soon.
Really. In just a few minutes, after the men dressed as sergeants on the ship had worked together to erect the heavy sampan, a chariot slowly descended from the cabin.
Ding Hui looked at it for the first time, and the golden light was dazzling, and he felt that he was about to be blinded.
It was a chariot made entirely of gold, three meters wide and seven meters long, weighing millions of pounds. The exterior is inlaid with all kinds of rare gemstones, and even on a dark and snowy day, it still shines brightly. The top lid is embedded with a blood-colored pearl the size of a watermelon, which seems to have been carved and polished by a skilled craftsman, and no matter which direction you look at, you can see the blood-colored skull marks on the surface of the pearl.
How much is this car worth?
Ding Hui was not frightened by the blood-colored skull mark, but was stunned by the extremely luxurious chariot. In his heart, even if the imperial capital sits in the Jinluan Palace, the chariot is not so grand and luxurious.
