Chapter Forty-Eight
"Shijie, we can't go on blindly like this, the longer things drag on, the more unfavorable it will be for us." The Purple Emperor said to Shi Jie.
In the room, Shijie was also meditating, the news he had inquired about in the past few days was really useless, proving that this method would not work.
"So what do you say? What else can be done besides asking for information. Tujie asked.
"Well, let's think about it again." The Purple Emperor said.
"Hmm!" Tujie nodded.
"We said the day before yesterday that this matter was concealed by Skywalker City. Let's think about why they are hiding it. "The Purple Emperor once again started from what he had summed up the day before yesterday.
"Do you say that Skywalker wants to stand on its own?" Tujie said suddenly.
"Hmmm! I think it's possible. The Purple Emperor nodded in agreement.
"But if Skywalker City wants to stand on its own, these five thousand people won't be of much use. Acting as an army and sweeping through the five countries? ”
"How is this possible, there are more than 20,000 guards in a city now, and a mere 5,000 people don't have much effect at all."
Thinking of this, he was stuck, and Shijie was puzzled, but there must be some kind of connection in it, but the two didn't know it.
"The army, yes, it's the army, I'm also thinking about what these five thousand people are for, and now I finally know." The Purple Emperor suddenly came to his senses.
"Really, what are these 5,000 people for?" Shijie couldn't wait to ask.
"I ask you, do those bodies have any scars on them?" The Purple Emperor did not answer Tujie, but asked.
"Yes."
"What is it?"
"Wait, I'll see." Tujie took out a small notebook from his body and opened it to look at it. Unexpectedly, the Purple Emperor snatched it and immediately flipped it up.
For a long time, "as I expected." After reading it, the Purple Emperor suddenly opened.
"Boy, don't buy it, tell me quickly, I'm suffocating." The Purple Emperor didn't say anything, and Shijie was in a hurry.
"I suspect that these 5,000 men were used to help the army make weapons."
"That's right! How I didn't think of it. Shijie slapped his thigh. No wonder you just asked how the scars on the corpse were made, the burns, the stability was accidentally burned when striking iron, and the wounds on the shoulders must have been carried heavy things, most likely ores,"
"Then we'll do the rest. Just find a place where they forge their weapons. Once again, Shijie came up with a plan.
"Hmmm! Tomorrow we will split up to find out, even in heaven and earth. Shijie swore an oath.
"No, there is still no way to find it, although this city is not big, it is more than enough to hide five thousand people, if we rush to find it. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I just said that it will not be good for us to drag it out for a long time. "The Purple Emperor didn't agree to wander around the city.
"Then what do you say?" Shi Jie said unhappily, obviously angry at the Purple Emperor's suspicion that his method was not working.
"Shijie, you are also in your 50s, why are you so easy to get angry." Shijie didn't expect that the Purple Emperor was still in the mood to make fun of himself at this time.
"Boy, you have to be polite to the old man, otherwise I will pluck your skin." Shijie Bo said angrily.
"Don't be angry, I just want to tell you to think before you do." The Purple Emperor apologized to Shijie.
"What do you want me to think? Isn't my solution working? Shijie still complained.
"Think about whether there are any minerals for making weapons in the area near Skywalker City." The Purple Emperor points to break the way.
"Let me think about it, there are a lot of ores in the Golden Country, but Tianxing City is in great short supply by relying on the Water Country." Shijie recalled carefully.
"Ahh This is difficult to do, I wanted to follow the vine to touch the melon, but I didn't think that the vine couldn't find it. When the Purple Emperor heard this, his tone became heavy again.
"It doesn't matter, I figured out where it was." Shi Jie's astonishing words brought hope to the Purple Emperor again.
"Tell me where it is." The Purple Emperor said happily.
"I'm not telling you." Shijie also learned from the Purple Emperor.
"Ya is looking for a fight." The Purple Emperor scolded. “
Don't, don't, I said. Shi Jie smiled at the Purple Emperor and said, "Purple Emperor, you said that the Elders' House knows that Tianxing City is going to stand on its own, will it continue to provide it with minerals?" ”
"Nonsense, what are you doing if you give you money to hire someone to beat me?" The Purple Emperor made an analogy.
"And where did it get so much ore?"
"Grass, uncle, don't I ask you? You asked about me, do you play with me? The Purple Emperor said angrily.
"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot, habit problems, don't be angry. You don't think it's possible for Jin Guo to give it to it, it can only make up its mind from something else. ”
"Water Country." The Purple Emperor suddenly realized.
"Yes, so we'll just be guarding the port for the next few days."
"Makes sense."
The next day, the two of them made their way to the harbor early in the morning, where they were circling. Keep an eye on the ships that come and go, and if anything comes off the boat, they both keep an eye out. But most of them are some seafood, and a fishy smell can be smelled from afar.
After checking all morning and finding nothing, the two were extremely disappointed, sat on the seashore, and began to appreciate the magnificence of the sea. It was the first time for the Purple Emperor to see the sea, so he was extremely excited.
Standing on the beach on the shore, looking into the distance, only to see a piece of white, the sea and the sky are integrated, can not tell whether it is water or the sky, is the so-called: fog lock the mountain head mountain lock fog, the sky even the water tail water even the sky. The sea is on the horizon, and the sea in the distance, under the delicate sunshine, is like a piece of fish scales spread on the water, and like a naughty child constantly jumping to the shore.
Looking at the sea, the hearts of the two seem to have become broader, and in this realm, it makes people refreshed and relaxed. When the tide rises, the waves in the sea water rush to the shore one after another, and some rise up, like rolling hills; Some hit the reef by the sea, splashing waves several meters high, making a "whoosh...... "Wonderful sound!" ...... "Wonderful sound!"
The two were admiring the magnificence of the waves, and suddenly a small black dot appeared in the sky, the black dot moved very fast, and it was only when they got close that they saw that it was a huge sailing ship, this ship was obviously not connected with other ships, the hull was twice that of an ordinary ship, and the waterline was also very deep, and the most obvious thing was that the flag on the ship was painted with a beautiful mermaid. Shijie was stunned when he saw it, "This flag is a military flag of fruits!" Tujie said meaningfully, looking at the Purple Emperor
It looked like the ship was what they were looking for. Shi Jie pulled the Purple Emperor, and the two immediately hid aside and paid attention.
The ship slowly moored on the harbor, and twenty or thirty soldiers came down from above, all of these soldiers were the escorts of Tianxing City, and the two of them were puzzled, why there were escorts of Tianxing City on the ship of the water country, and then these soldiers dragged out more than thirty large boxes from the cabin, which were fishy to death, and the two of them covered their noses from afar, and then the soldiers carried these boxes and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
