Chapter 161: The Monarch of Shu (Three Watches)
It had been nearly a week since Xue Zha and Le Shen had been on the island where the Three Kingdoms were located, and it was only today that he finally met one of the monarchs.
The monarch of Shu, Liu Han.
It was a man with a goatee, and although his hair was black, he still couldn't hide the frost and scars on his face.
The man's complexion was dark, but his eyes were unusually bright, especially the nose, which was very broad and fat, with a pair of attractive ears, a plump lip, and the whole face was like a knife cut.
But on the right side of his face, there was a hideous and terrible scar, as if someone had cut off a piece of flesh with a knife.
On top of his bare left arm, there are several circular scars, apparently from being shot with arrows.
The first time Xue Zhe saw the man in front of him, he subconsciously looked at his arm.
"This arm is not long, and the book says that the hands are over the knees is fake?"
A picture immediately appeared in Xue Zha's mind.
That was the scene of Liu Bei falling in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
It is said that Liu Bei's most obvious feature is that his hands hang down above his knees, and when he falls to Adou, his legs are bent and his waist sinks, throwing Adou to the ground.
Looking at it this way, Adou was actually less than 20 centimeters above the ground at that time, maybe less.
It seems that at this height, Adou was not even hurt by the fall.
When Xue Zha kept staring at Liu Han's hand, Liu Han also noticed Xue Zha's gaze.
"I wonder why you keep looking at my arm, is there something wrong with me?"
Although Liu Han already knew Xue Zhe's name and surname, he also knew his identity as "Dragon Palace", so for the sake of insurance, he did not show that he knew everything.
Xue Zha woke up when he heard Liu Han's words.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just thought of something suddenly, and I lost my mind, no wonder!"
Xue Zha waved his hand again and again, showing that he didn't know what had just happened, which made everyone present a little confused.
"The old general of the Liu family said that Xue Zhe does not act according to common sense, I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw it today, it was really the case. ”
A strange light flashed in Liu Han's eyes, and he directly waved his hand and commanded outside the tent.
"Someone, give a seat to your guests!
After a while, four maidservants walked in outside the tent, two holding wooden stools in their hands, and two of them dragging a tray with a cup of hot tea on it.
Xue Zha's eyelids jumped when he heard the mermaid's words, he really didn't expect that he was so lucky, and the mermaid he encountered turned out to be a fish that slipped through the net.
"It seems that we can start to make a fuss about this. ”
Xue Zha pondered for a moment and continued to ask.
"Hmph...... In that case, then tell me about your basic information, or the information of your species, which is not too involved in the secrets of the Dragon Palace, if you hide it and don't say it, I'm really welcome. ”
Xue Zha snorted coldly, and the mermaid was so frightened that he hit a spirit.
"This guy's momentum is a little terrifying, I'm afraid even the little commander can't compare to him, where did this freak come from? ”
Xue Zha didn't know what the mermaid was thinking at the moment, but he had to figure out these issues.
He remembered the woman who was in the Cloud Kingdom before, it seemed that she was from the Dragon Palace, but he didn't know where she was in the Dragon Palace.
At this point, the merfolk finally spoke.
"My name is Moka, I am the deputy captain of a certain team of the mermaid clan, we merfolk have been worshipping the Dragon Palace for generations, acting as a guard and army, and each generation will be managed by an excellent commander, we are not only strong in the water, but we can also breathe like humans on the shore. ”
Xue Zha suddenly became interested when he heard this.
"You merfolk are human and fishtailed, so is there still a fish-human race?
Xue Zha liked to learn about some strange beasts and mythical creatures in his previous life, and he had a strong interest in mermaids and fish-people.
The expression on the face of this mermaid named Moka was shocked when she heard Xue Zha's words, obviously what Xue Zha said was right.
"How could he be so aware of the merfolk and the merfolk clan, could it be that he was a disciple of some hidden powerhouse?"
Xue Zha didn't know at this time that he had become a strong disciple in Moka's eyes, and he didn't know that what he said casually really existed.
Moka restrained his shocked look, and then saw that Xue Zha was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Yes, I didn't expect Your Excellency to understand so clearly, although our merfolk and merfolk are two races, they are closely linked, in one sentence, that is, the merfolk are guards, and the merfolk are warriors. ”
Xue Zhe didn't expect that the things he had fantasized about before really existed, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
However, Xue Zha grasped the point of Moka, the Fish-Man Clan is a warrior, and the Mermaid Clan is just a guard, which means that what he encountered was only a population with little combat power, and if he encountered the Fish-Man Clan, it seemed to be even more tricky.
Xue Zha groaned for a moment, raised his hand and touched his chin to continue to speak.
"Then why did you run away?"
When Xue Zha asked this question, Moka on the other side seemed to remember something, his body kept twisting, and his face became very ugly.
"No...... I can't say, absolutely can't say, or I'll die, absolutely!"
Moka seemed to be dominated by fear, and his whole person became a little nervous, a bit like the "wild man" brother just now.
Xue Zhe frowned, he felt that the creatures living at sea seemed to have a little fragile nerves, and on the same day, he actually encountered two neuropathies.
"[Peace of mind]. ”
Xue Zha's mouth spat out an idiom, and a soft white light appeared, like a spring breeze, enveloping Moka.
In the next moment, Moka, whose body was still shaking violently, suddenly calmed down, and the horror on its face gradually dissipated.
Xue Zha saw that Moka had calmed down and spoke again.
"Okay, you don't look like you can answer, so tell me why you screamed when the boat landed on the island, and what were you afraid of at the time?"
Xue Zha remembered Moka's frightened screams when he landed on the island before, at that time, Moka just screamed, but his body did not tremble like just now.
And after blessing the effect of the [Calm Mind] idiom, it will curb the fear in Moka's heart to a certain extent.
Moka's gray eyes stared at Xue Zha, and the expression on his face was a little strange, but he still spoke.
"Your Excellency really...... Good means, don't you know that the storms on the sea are actually caused by the Dragon Palace?"
Xue Zhe heard Moka's words, and his body popped up.
"What do you say? The storm was caused by the Dragon Palace? The Dragon King of the Four Seas?
Xue Zhe let out a strange scream from his mouth, which startled the man behind him who had just woken up.
The man was interrupted by Xue Zha's strange scream, he got up from the ground, and knocked on the edge of the cage with both hands, attracting Xue Zha's attention.
"Little brother shouldn't be from the sea, right? The cause of the storm is something that the high-level forces on the sea know very well, and it seems that you don't know anything. ”
Xue Zha scratched his head, and the way he had been holding it was directly collapsed because of the man's words.
"Is it really that obvious? I feel like I'm pretending to be pretty good. ”
When the man heard Xue Zha's words, he didn't know how to answer this for a while, so he had to cough.
"Little brother, can you unlock this cage first, the old man is fine. ”
