Chapter 58: Vertical and Horizontal (13)
In the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, dozens of ironclad warships set off from their respective docks, went south along the canal, and then went out of Hangzhou Bay and headed straight for the East China Sea.
In the mighty East China Sea, Lian Ling stood on the deck of a sailing ship, looking at the ironclad fleet with billowing smoke in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder a little, what is the purpose of Tianlong's construction and expansion of the navy, if it is for Middle-earth, there is no need to spend so much manpower and material resources to build so many ironclad warships....
Just when Lian Ling was puzzled, a Tianlong sergeant stepped forward, "Lian Ling Holy Maiden, Dongshan Island, has arrived." ”
Tianling looked up and saw that a huge island had already emerged from the sea mist, it was the Dongshan Island that he had visited once.
The boat slowly approached the dock, Lian Ling touched the spirit talisman in his arms, jumped off the dock, and walked towards the Tianlong Sect on the island.
In the Tianlong martial arts arena, Xue Yi was training the Tianlong spearmen, and the spearmen corps of about 5,000 people were all recruited for only a month, in order to quickly form combat power, it has always been the deputy sect leader Xue Yi who has been personally training.
Dugu Yun stood aside, looking at the unfamiliar faces of the sergeants in front of him, and felt a little stunned in his heart. Ever since Dugu was asking her to tour the islands of the East China Sea, she had already known her father's thoughts.
At this moment, a blue figure appeared at the gate of the martial arts arena and walked slowly towards Duguyun.
When Dugu Yun saw the comer, he was startled and shouted, "Lian Ling!"
Lian Ling stopped in front of Dugu Yun, and through the veiled face, he also laughed, "See you again." ”
Dugu Yun nodded fiercely, "Yes, I didn't expect you to come to see me again so soon." ”
"Can you stay longer this time?"
Lian Ling shook his head and sighed lightly, "I'm here to deliver something to your father, and I have to do other things after I finish sending it." ”
Dugu Yun couldn't help but feel a little lost, and sighed softly, "You should have seen it along the way, something big will happen to the Tianlong family teacher soon, and I don't know if I can see you again in the future." ”
When Lian Ling heard this, he couldn't help but remember seeing the ironclad warship on the road, and wondered, "Are you guys going to prepare for an expedition?"
Dugu Yun nodded, "Well, we may have to give up the East China Sea and go to the East Ocean." ”
Lian Ling's eyes were full of consternation, "What?
"Yes, my father thinks that Middle-earth is the world of their forty-nine sects after all, and as long as Taishan and the Central Plains decide the winner, they will turn around and encircle and suppress Tianlong. ”
Lian Ling was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, not only you Tianlong, even our Lingying Sect, when Taishan and the Central Plains start to fight, the first to disappear should be the Xuzhou Lingying Sect..."
Even Ling's words reminded Dugu Yun, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, "If you don't say it, I haven't even remembered that in the entire Middle Earth, only our two sects are outside the gates, but unfortunately, we didn't know each other earlier..."
Lian Ling seemed to be a little open-minded, and comforted softly with a smile: "If it was me before, I wasn't as easy to talk as I am now, hehe." ”
At this time, Xue Yi also noticed Lian Ling's arrival, waved his hand to signal the sergeants to leave, and then came to the two of them, and arched his hand towards Lian Ling: "Lian Ling Holy Maiden." ”
Lian Lingyi bowed his head, looked at Xue Yi in front of him, nodded and praised: "Deputy Sect Leader Xue is indeed a good helper of Sect Master Dugu. ”
Xue Yi smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "Even the Spirit Saintess is not far behind, you can have a good chat, Xue Ye has other things to do." ”
With that, Xue Yi gestured again and turned to leave.
Lian Ling looked at Xue Yi's distant figure and looked at Dugu Yun with a smile on his face, "This Deputy Sect Leader Xue is really extraordinary in appearance and strong in martial arts. ”
Dugu Yun seemed to understand what Lian Yun meant, "What, even you think I and my cousin him?"
Lian Ling nodded, "Well, of course, the two of you, it seems, are indeed quite a good match." ”
Dugu Yun pouted, and said angrily: "Why do women have to marry men, I prefer to travel to the rivers and lakes with people like you, so that is comfortable and chic." ”
Lian Ling was stunned when he heard this, and said to himself in his heart: Do you want to travel the rivers and lakes with the person you like...
Thinking of this, the figure of the homeless young man appeared in Lian Ling's mind.
While the two were talking, a sect member came over and said to Dugu Yun: "Holy Maiden, the sect leader invites you and Lian Ling Holy Maiden to go to the main hall to meet him. ”
The two glanced at each other, nodded, and then left the martial arts arena and went to the main hall to see Dugu Zheng.
Central Plains Sect, in the main hall of the sect master, Jing Lan sat alone, and Jing Ao, Li Xin and Wen Wen were left behind.
Jing Lan looked at Wen Wen, who had a cute face, and said with a smile: "Young Master Wen's sudden visit to the Central Plains really makes Jing very pleased, haha." ”
Wen Wen felt embarrassed in his heart, thinking that this Jinglan should not know that he ran out secretly, maybe he was ordered by his father to visit.
Thinking that if Wen Hua knew about this matter, he might not only be scolded, but also beaten, Wen Wen still decided to tell the truth.
"That, Uncle Jing, Wen Wen ran down by himself, and this trip was not instructed by his father. ”
The smile on Jing Lan's face gradually faded, and he was also secretly scolding in his heart: You stinky boy, make me happy in vain, I thought your father had changed sex, and he wanted to mix with me.....
When Wen Wen saw that he was about to say it, Jing Lan's face changed, and he shouted in his heart that it was not good, this Jing Lan really thought so....
Li Xin on the side seemed to see some clues, looked at Wen Wen's unraised head, smiled secretly, and then said to Jinglan: "Sect Master, Young Master Wen came to my Central Plains this time, although it is a personal wish, it can be seen that Young Master Wen intends to be friendly with my Central Plains." ”
Jing Lan was stunned when he heard this, and thought about it, it seems to be the same thing, you don't like to play with me, and your successor is willing to mess with me, so it's okay.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Jing Lan's face again, "Yes, yes, Young Master Wen will take over the Zhengyi Sect regularly in the future, Young Master Wen intends to make friends with my Central Plains, which is enough to represent the wishes of our two sects." ”
Wen Wen felt that his head was a little big, and after thinking about it, he still said out loud: "That, Sect Master Jing, what my father means is to let my cousin Wen Cheng become the next Sect Master." ”
The smile on Jing Lan's face faded again, and he cursed secretly in his heart: Then what are you of use to me, come to me to drink tea when you have nothing to eat?
Li Xin couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, a little convinced of this young master Wen, and secretly felt sorry in his heart, I will get you the steps, and you are here to dismantle the steps....
Jing Lan's face showed a hint of unhappiness, and he asked lightly, "Then, I don't know if Young Master Wen has visited the Central Plains Sect, but is there anything personal that Jing Lan needs to help with?"
When Wen Wen heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and denied, "No, no, the junior has nothing to trouble the Mirror Sect Master." ”
Jing Ao was silent, observing for a long time, and at this moment he seemed to understand a little in his heart, this simple boy was probably in love with his sister, and he ran to his door in one go....
