Chapter 81: The Great Smash Bros. (9)
Chu died up to Luo Yuan's expectations and successfully brought the Zhao sisters to the "Breaking Waves".
Luo Yuan was extremely active in offering his courtesy, settling everyone into the luxurious cabin. Delicacies are served with silk and bamboo orchestras, and stunning dancing queens are added with elixir and jade dew.
With such a high-standard hospitality, even Chu Jiji's face showed an expression of "not thinking about it". Not to mention the fun-loving Zhao Xiaomiao, she and Luo Yuan had a hot fight. She had long forgotten about her sister and tanuki brother.
Luo Yuan is so happy, if he wants to pursue Zhao Xiaomo, it is a good strategy to get rid of the "sister-in-law" Zhao Xiaomiao first.
Li Xiaohu couldn't stand Luo Yuan's licking dog face, so he went to the deck alone.
According to Luo Yuan, the "Breaking Waves" is a military warship of the Great Wei Dynasty, and has been transformed several times and is now used as the private ship of the Luo family.
Ancient runes are carved on the outer wall of the hull of the "Breaking Waves", which is said to be an ancient defensive circle.
Li Xiaohu hadn't seen the magic circle yet, so he was very curious about it, but he squatted there and studied it for a long time and didn't see any doorway.
Just when he felt bored and was about to get up. A female voice sounded behind her.
"Now the formation mages who study and depict the formation are all under the shadow of their predecessors, and the way of the formation has long ceased to have fresh blood. Over the years, even many of the formations left by those formation masters have been slowly lost, and no one can depict them anymore. ”
Li Xiaohu turned his head to look up, and the person who spoke was Zhao Xiaomo. Li Xiaohu couldn't help but feel like "flattered" in his heart, this woman who could only put on a stinky face would actually take the initiative to talk to him.
"Why is the way of the formation lonely?"
If it was normal, Li Xiaohu's question would most likely be ignored by Zhao Xiaomo, but she seemed quite interested in the formation.
"The formation depiction is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and driving the formation costs money, and ordinary people can't afford it. The best source of energy to drive the formation is the Five Elements Crystal, and there are currently eighteen Five Elements Crystal Mines in the Southern Three Prefectures, all of which are in the hands of the imperial court. ”
"Five Elements Crystal?" Li Xiaohu was lonely and unheard.
"The energy in the Five Elements Spar is pure, and there is no power of other attributes, so we call it the Five Elements Crystal. ”
"There are eighteen five-element crystal mines in An, Yu, and Shuo three states. The Five Elements Crystal won't be in such a short supply, right?"
Zhao Xiaomo sighed and said: "Most of the Five Elements Crystal Mines in the Southern Three States have stopped production, and there is currently only one Five Elements Crystal Mine operating in one state. ”
"All mined?"
"It's not, as long as the Five Elements Crystal Source under the mountain range is not destroyed, the Five Elements Crystal Mine will be endless. However, the way of the formation is mostly used in war, the big array of city protection, the attack on the huge weapons, etc., the Great Wei has been strong in the past hundred years, and there are some small frictions between the small countries in the southwest. ”
"You know a lot, are you the heir of the formation?"
Zhao Xiaomo crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, "It's not impossible to let this girl tell you, but you have to answer me a question first." ”
"I'm just asking casually, since you said so, there is no doubt that it is the heir of the formation. Now that the formation is so depressed, you guys are having a hard time, right?" Li Xiaohu stood up and stretched his waist and smiled.
"You-this girl asked you, the sword behind you is the Huo family's Dragon Bird Sword?"
Li Xiaohu was shocked, sure enough, "wealth should not be exposed", he just glanced at it that day, but he didn't expect Zhao Xiaomo to recognize the Dragon Bird Sword.
"What dragon sparrow sword? Li Xiaohu said defensively.
"The Divine Sword ranked third on the Great Wei Divine Soldier List, His Royal Highness the Prince has never heard of it? Zhao Xiaomo said in Li Xiaohu's tone just now.
Li Xiaohu secretly scolded himself for being stupid. The words blurted out before I could think of them.
"What is your relationship with Grandpa Huo, how could his Dragon Sparrow Sword be here with you?" Zhao Xiaomo asked.
Li Xiaohu secretly thought in his heart: "Grandpa Huo, it seems that it is not an enemy, it is estimated that it is an old friend of the Huo family." So he said: "The so-called sword gift to the hero, Huo Guogong handed over the Dragon Bird Sword to me, probably this is the meaning." ”
Zhao Xiaomo stared at Li Xiaohu with suspicion. Unable to withstand her questioning gaze, Li Xiaohu spread his hands and said, "Okay, I'll explain." Now that you know my true identity, I won't hide it, my father King Wei and Huo Yehai are close friends. When I was a child, the Guogong Mansion was my second home. I went to Jinju to apprentice and practice, and Grandpa Huo couldn't rest assured, so he lent me the Dragon Bird Sword for self-defense. ”
After speaking, Li Xiaohu glanced at Zhao Xiaomo and found that her face was much softer to the naked eye, maybe she didn't let down her guard against Li Xiaohu until this moment.
"Our Zhao family is indeed a formation family, and they belong to the Phantom Array family. Grandpa Zhao and Grandpa Huo are good friends. Whenever Grandpa portrays and improves a new phantom array, he will invite Grandpa Huo to break the formation. Grandpa said that Grandpa Huo's Dragon Sparrow Sword is a delusion-breaking sword, and only the phantom array that even Grandpa Huo can't break with the Dragon Sparrow Sword is the real Phantom Array. ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Xiaohu felt that Zhao Xiaomo's tone of voice actually gave him a gentle feeling.
"That'...... Is there a phantom array that Grandpa Huo can't break?"
"Not yet. Zhao Xiaomo's tone was a little lost.
"There are thousands of illusions in the world, and the dragon sparrow breaks them with a sword. Li Xiaohu couldn't help but think of this sentence, the Dragon Bird Sword deserved to be the third divine sword on the list of divine weapons.
Suddenly, the entire "Breaking Waves" shook, and Li Xiaohu fell backwards unsteadily. Fortunately, Zhao Xiaomo quickly grabbed him.
It turned out that the "Breaking Wave" sailed.
Li Xiaohu regained his footing, handed Zhao Xiaomo a grateful look, and then looked into the distance.
The Qingshui River passes through the city from east to west, and there are relevant cards at the city walls on both sides. Counting the "Breaking Waves", a total of four ships headed west in turn. The guards at the western checkpoint saw the "Luo" flag and put away the water suspension bridge early.
The "Breaking Waves" broke the waves first and sailed out of the city.
On the embankment of the Qingshui River on the west side of the main city of Fenghe County, Cheng Heijia rode on a horse and looked at the slowly flowing river. A group of black soul guards stood in a row behind him.
At that moment, a yellow light flashed. Cheng Heijia stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and then he slowly unfolded his rough big hand, and a bronze cricket was crouching in the palm of his hand.
Cheng Heijia quietly looked at the crickets in his palm for a while, and then said, "The target has already boarded the boat and set off." However, the plan changed, and they took the Luo family's 'Breaking Waves'. ”
"'Breaking the Waves'? ”
Cheng Heijia put the cricket into a delicate small urn and said, "Not bad." ”
"Then we will set up an ambush on the shore, and I am afraid that the ship will not be able to be solved if it is too far away. The subordinate said.
"There is a stone river thirty miles south of the Qingshui River into the Orange River, so we rushed to the stone river first and then discussed countermeasures. Cheng Heijia grabbed the reins and said, "When the fleet arrives at Shijiangzhu, it is already night, which will make it easier for us to move." ”
