Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Spirit Boat
These two figures are tall, and the middle-aged man at the head looks even more burly and strong, wearing gilt armor on his head, a golden short sword hanging from his waist, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his momentum is compelling.
The other figure was a middle-aged man, who looked older than the general, but he was wearing a robe with seven glittering golden markings on the chest, which looked like some kind of special symbol. Everyone's eyes swept over here, and Master Zhang exclaimed in surprise: "It's actually a seven-rank array mage!" This tone was no less than the appearance of seeing a powerful and powerful person before.
You must know that there is not a single seven-rank array mage in the entire Great Chu Kingdom, and the strongest one is still a five-grade peak array mage enshrined in the palace, even so, many high-ranking officials and nobles still squeeze their heads and want to stammer, but now a seven-rank array mage is standing in front of him alive, which makes Master Zhang not shocked. But beyond the shock, there was more curiosity and fear.
And although the strength of this formation mage has not reached the Unified Realm, he is a genuine Ming Dao Realm powerhouse.
Without waiting for everyone to ask, the middle-aged man in the general's costume said indifferently: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" This voice was like an edict, spreading in this somewhat tense air.
At the same time, the array mage gathered spiritual power in his eyes. Looking at the specific side of the Mingxuan Mountain Range below, after feeling a huge deep pit not far from the road, he showed a suspicious look, as if he was thinking.
City Lord Xue felt the powerful aura coming from this person's body, and replied with a little shortness of breath: "I am waiting for the order of the Great Chu State Sage to come to investigate a matter?" Obviously, the City Lord Xue also saw that the two people in front of him were not good, and after thinking about it, he moved out the big backer of the Great Chu State Sage.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his brows furrowed, a trace of anger flashed between his eyebrows, and he said condescendingly: "Hmph, a small country, dare to be called a saint?"
There is a rule in the Gu Nan Domain that when a lower kingdom converses with a person from a middle kingdom, it is forbidden to use honorific titles for its own king, and similarly, a person from a middle kingdom cannot call his own king holy when talking to a person from a middle kingdom, because it means disrespecting the other party. In the Yuncang Continent, where everything speaks by strength, the strong value their own dignity more.
When City Lord Xue and the others heard this, their faces immediately changed, and they looked at the two people in front of them in unison, their eyes were full of anger, they dared to insult the Great Chu State like this, this is no longer about personal honor and disgrace, but about the dignity of the entire country.
"What are you talking about, you say it again?" A man in Qianyang County couldn't believe what he heard, there were people in the Great Chu Kingdom who dared to openly insult the current king.
"Hmph, I am Qiu Safu, the chief formation mage of the Superior Kingdom of the Iron Karma Kingdom, and this is Zhou Xiluo, the general of the Iron Karma Kingdom. The man standing next to the general's outfit spoke, his eyes turned to his side when he mentioned Zhou Xiluo, but his tone was obviously arrogant.
These words were like a sharp sword out of its sheath that cut through the flames of anger burning in everyone's eyes, leaving only a face full of fear and panic, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
What is the Tie Qi Kingdom, it is a behemoth above the Great Chu State, the territory is vast and rich, with 36 counties under its jurisdiction, and its strength is strong. However, there are only eight counties under the jurisdiction of the Great Chu State, and the land area is only a quarter of the people's land, except that this is not counted, the Great Chu State also has to pay tribute to the Tieqi State every three years, and to a certain extent, the Great Chu State is a vassal state of the Tieqi State.
City Lord Xue and his party are by no means the kind of pawns in the market, I don't know how important they are, and at this time, they showed extreme anger in front of the Tie Xuan Kingdom, and they were undoubtedly breaking ground on Tai Sui.
So at this time, as the lord of a city, City Lord Xue's face was a little stiff, and he bowed with a reluctant smile and said, "I don't know the general, Master Qiu is here, and I hope to forgive my sins." Then Master Zhang, the three commanders, and several people from the Qianyang County Government all bowed slightly to greet them, although they were greeting, their faces were gloomy and terrifying, and they were obviously extremely reluctant.
This is called daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
Qiu Safu is obviously very useful to these, he doesn't care what others think in their hearts, others need to bow their heads when they see me, it has always been Qiu Safu's creed. And General Zhou's face did not show any change in this, as if it was commonplace.
After Xue Cheng finished officiating, the moment he straightened up, he saw a golden battleship about ten zhang long in the sky heading here, the aura on the battleship lingered, and the hull was inlaid with colorful gems, and a straight mast went straight into the sky, so it shuttled forward in the sea of clouds with a rumbling sound.
This warship, also called the Spirit Boat, is expensive to build, and it is a common tool used by those big sects, big kingdoms, and big forces. Similar to the financial resources of the Great Chu State, it is easy to build a few spirit boats, and the spirit boats are also divided into several types according to their different functions, and the common ones are speed, defense, and attack. As for the quite noble spirit boats built by some peerless great sects, they can fly to the sky and patrol the sea, and they are armed with a sharp weapon.
The warship in front of him is more apt to call it a spirit boat, it is obviously a speed spirit boat, used for long-distance migration, and the interior is luxuriously decorated, and the monks are extremely comfortable to sit in it.
On the deck of the spirit boat, there were three figures standing with their hands in their hands, led by a middle-aged man wearing a golden python suit, the man's face was resolute, and he could vaguely distinguish the handsome demeanor of his youth, but there seemed to be a shadow between his eyebrows that had been difficult to get rid of for many years. This man is the former genius of the Great Chu Kingdom, the fourth prince - Chu Huaixing.
There were also two figures standing on both sides of Chu Huaixing's figure, one was a short, thin middle-aged man wearing a robe and coat, his face was full of beards, and his face was extremely obscene, Wang Yijie, the formation mage with the highest gold content in the Great Chu Kingdom. The middle-aged man standing on the other side of Chu Huaixing was naturally the king of Qianyang County-Fang Yunhe.
Zhou Xiluo, the general of the Tie Qi Kingdom, squinted his eyes slightly, and the two eyes looked at the Lingzhou with blazing eyes, and when he saw the person clearly, the corners of his mouth lifted an imperceptible arc upward.
After a while, the spirit boat hovered above everyone's heads, and at this time, the Xue City Lord and others saw clearly who the person was, and only then did they run between the sea of clouds, and the boat was full of clouds and mist, and it seemed that the boat was full of prohibitions, which made people unpredictable.
"The county king, you are here. The strongest man from the Qianyang County Mansion looked at the person on the boat in the air and shouted. Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood in their hearts, and they all looked at the three people in the boat with fiery eyes, especially the middle-aged man who was the leader, who was heroic, but also revealed a little sadness.
Everyone knows that the people who come up on the boat are the four princes of the Great Chu Kingdom.
The four princes, Chu Huaixing, and the other three jumped down from the spirit boat, their eyes swept over the two of them with some playfulness, and when their eyes passed over Zhou Xiluo, their pupils shrank, and then they recovered again, and walked towards the Xue City Lord, and there were clouds and mist under their feet.
City Lord Xue looked at Chu Huaixing with wide eyes, this time he bowed deeply, and said earnestly: "Qingyang City Lord Xue Jingzhou pays a visit to the Fourth Prince. After finishing speaking, Zhao Commander and his cadres also bent down to salute the four princes, which was obviously much more sincere than the previous salute to the two people of the Tie Qi Kingdom.
Then City Lord Xue and the others met with the King of Qianyang County and Wang Yijie, the highest-ranking formation mage of the Great Chu Kingdom, and when they heard that the extremely obscene appearance in front of them was the highest formation mage of the Great Chu Kingdom, everyone also looked sideways, and their eyes were full of respect.
After seeing the four princes coming down from the spirit boat, the general of the Tie Xuan Kingdom sneered: "Hehe, these four princes are so magnificent!" After finishing speaking, his eyes rolled upwards, as if he was referring to the use of the spirit boat to travel, which ruined his prestige.
Chu Huaixing didn't answer, he stretched out his hand and shook it lightly in the void, and the golden spirit boat hovering above everyone's heads quickly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a mini spirit boat about half a foot long in the blink of an eye, and then fell from the void to Chu Huaixing's hand impartially.
Chu Huaixing grabbed it at once, held it in his palm, and put it into the cuff, and at the same time, he raised his head and said, "My spirit boat will be put away, and I won't bother General Zhou." But you, what are you doing in my Great Chu Kingdom?"
Just now, when Chu Huaixing landed in the spirit boat, City Lord Xue simply reported the situation here to the Four Princes, but when he mentioned Zhou Xiluo opposite, City Lord Xue found that the Fourth Prince's expression in front of him was cold, and even a little empty and stunned, as if he had something to do with Zhou Xiluo.
Qiu Safu saw that there were also important people on the other side, so he cut directly to the topic and said: "Presumably, this one on the other side is the fourth prince of the Great Chu Kingdom." If I have something to say, I'll just say it, I want to ask you where the Red Flame Jiao that is imprisoned here has gone?"
Qiu Safu took the words of the fourth prince and ran to the topic, he had not been idle just now, he had been using secret methods to continuously explore the huge pit below, and confirmed that there was indeed the residual breath of the Red Flame Jiaojiao inside, but now there was no shadow of the demon beast, and for a while, he was a little anxious.
After hearing this, City Lord Xue gave the Fourth Princes a look, as if asking, "Do you want to tell them the information?" After thinking for a while, the Fourth Princes nodded in agreement.
