Chapter 195: The South China Sea Changes
Walking from the path to the courtyard of the pillar of fire, Chai Lingwu followed behind and stopped talking.
Bing Sanzhang stood still and turned around: "You are a little too anxious, can a casual sentence shake your mind to such an extent?
Chai Lingwu smiled bitterly: "My Chai family has declined, but I still have the wisdom to know people." Your Excellency is clever and does not need to rely on the Chai family, but if the Chai family wants to prosper, it must have strong foreign aid. So I didn't want to miss out on this great opportunity. ”
Bing Sanzhang smiled and pointed to the guide and said, "Now that the trade in the South China Sea is prosperous, and there is an endless stream of merchant ships from various countries, pirates are naturally popping up one after another. The bearded guest can mix well over there, and I want to be inseparable from Li Jing's secret support. It's such an interesting killing field, it's not difficult to intervene in it, but someone always needs to be on the shore to help me sell stolen goods and replenish supplies, do you Chai family have the courage to do this?"
Chai Lingwu gritted his teeth and said: "What is this, the nobles in Chang'an City have long been red when they see Yun Ye making money on the sea every year, and now which family does not sharpen their heads and stick inside, now that my Chai family has this opportunity, how can I not firmly grasp it." ”
Bing Sanzhang nodded and said, "Okay, no matter what you think in your heart, since you say it, I will treat it as true! If something goes wrong at that time, I will naturally send someone to trouble your Chai family!"
Chai Lingwu nodded vigorously, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
It seems that this kid is really choked by Yun Ye!
Bing Sanzhang turned around and walked towards the small courtyard, and said, "Since I have a purpose, I think I need to understand the current Datang, what do you suggest?"
Chai Lingwu followed behind, thought for a while, and said, "Although my family also has some information, it is not complete, so it is not good to recommend it to you." However, I heard that the college has a database that uses the data method to collect the basic data of various states and counties. Nowadays, there are always big businessmen who spend a lot of money to check it, but there are not many that can be understood, but there is no doubt about its usefulness. If it were Your Excellency, I think it would be very rewarding!"
"Oh, there is still such a thing?" Bing Sanzhang raised his eyebrows in interest, nodded and said, "In this way, I will stay in the academy for a few days!"
After entering the small courtyard of the pillar of fire and glancing at the small building, Bing Sanzhang couldn't help but smile.
Sure enough, it's a terrific turtle shell, with Datang's scientific and technological civilization, there is really no way to take this iron cage. But this thing is just a joke in Bing's eyesight.
Bing Sanzhang knocked on the door and said loudly: "I know how you open the door behind the door, I want to talk to you." ”
The room was as silent as water.
The pillar of fire carefully suppressed his breathing, and he leaned against the wall next to the door, feeling his heart beat a little faster.
No one has ever been here since the forest was built, and even if the Koreans sent people to explore one after another last year, they only broke into the place where the iron cabinet was placed, and they didn't find the way to their own courtyard at all.
The voice of the outsider spoke softly, as if there was no trace of malice, but Huozhu felt a trace of fear in his heart.
It's like standing naked in front of a giant python, and the feeling of being a knife and a fish makes his hands and feet cold.
The big golden scorpion crawled out of his shoulder, waving its two claws, and its ostentatious appearance gave the pillar of fire a little comfort.
"Don't you speak, forget it, I'll go in and tell you!"
Bing Sanzhang shook his head, stretched out his hand and gently put it on the steel wire, Chai Lingwu's eyes widened, ready to see what means he had.
Flashes of lightning flashed at his fingertips, invisible electromagnetic waves spread along the steel wire mesh, and all kinds of information were fed back, and Bing Sanzhang easily established a model of the iron mesh in his mind.
"That's the design!"
Looking up at the attic, where the winch should have been placed, it was a wooden structure that could not be controlled magnetically. That being the case, then......
Bing Sanzhang grabbed the steel wire mesh with both hands and lifted it up, and heard a "click" sound from the tracks on the left and right sides at the same time, and the two broken locks flew out.
There was a bang above the steel wire, and it was slowly raised by a brute force.
Chai Lingwu was shocked, this steel wire mesh was ten thousand catties, not to mention, it was dragged up by a person.
The pillar of fire was numb in his scalp, and he stepped back from the door, lifted the floor, and with a shake of the mechanism raised an eight-ox crossbow, and after winding it, he pointed it at the door, and he stood beside it with a wooden hammer in his hand, his eyes fixed on the doorway.
"Click!"
The lock snapped and the door slowly opened.
The pillar of fire did not hesitate to smash down the machine, and the thick eight-bull crossbow arrows shot out sharply.
"Bang!"
Bing Sanzhang was shocked and took a step back, looked at the Eight Bull Crossbow Arrow in his hand, threw it at his feet, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Lost Forest was founded by Lantian Hou Yunye, you should have a channel to contact him, right?"
The pillar of fire threw away the wooden hammer and said nothing with a blank face.
Now, he is not afraid, it is nothing more than death, but he regrets his wife and the child who has not yet been born.
A touch of tenderness flashed in Huozhu's eyes, and he was glad that he had just lit his wife's sleeping hole and did not need to be frightened.
"Tell Yun Ye that I took the three jade plates!" Bing Sanzhang nodded to the pillar of fire after speaking, turned around to leave, but stopped again, and smiled: "There is a snake called Chi Lian, which is poisonous and fierce, I think it is very compatible with Miri, so I have a chance to try it!"
After saying that, he strode away.
The pillar of fire was directly stunned, speechless for a long time.
Chai Lingwu followed Bing Sanzhang out of the maze forest step by step, let out a long breath, and finally let down the heart he was carrying. This maze forest had only heard of its name before, but after walking it myself tonight, I realized how terrifying the pervasive poisonous insects inside were.
If he hadn't followed this man, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.
Seeing Chai Lingwu looking at himself, Bing Sanzhang smiled slightly and asked, "After you want to go back, what excuse do you use to prevaricate?"
Chai Lingwu shook his head for a moment, shook his head and said: "I can't go back these days, Your Excellency has made such a big move, and you have taken away the eldest son of the Chai family in front of everyone." The inside of Chang'an City must be turned upside down, maybe the city gate will not be opened in the next two days. ”
Bing Sanzhang nodded casually and said, "So, what are your plans?"
"What else?" Chai Lingwu smiled bitterly: "Hide in Yushan Academy for two days, and go back when the matter is over." ”
"Whatever you want! If you don't go back, you can just tell me about the changes in Datang over the years!" Bing Sanzhang turned his head to look at him and emphasized: "Especially the changes after Yun Ye came out!"
Chai Lingwu thought about it and nodded-
South China Sea, unknown seas.
Two pirate ships docked next to each other and set up a gangplank to make a deal, and a small boat wandered around, and the two pirates cursed as they searched for something on the surface.
"Bald, do you think the lame bastard is deliberately manipulating us? Isn't it just a slave? As for letting us look for a morning in the sun?"
"What do you know!" the bald man sneered, and snorted, "Now that business on the sea is not good, the money from the sale of a slave can feed our brothers for a month." What is the big sun, if you can't find it, do you believe that the lame man has the heart to beat you into a slave?"
"Just him, dare!" the man snorted stiffly, but lowered his head and concentrated on finding it.
"Leper, look over there!"
The big man looked up, only to see a series of blisters suddenly appear on the sea not far away, slapped his thigh with a cruel smile, and shouted: "Found it, go over quickly! Damn, that bastard can really run, after catching him, Lao Tzu must let him enjoy the taste of life is worse than death!"
The two of them shook the oars vigorously and drove the boat over, but the bald man did not wait for the boat to stop, and plunged into the sea with a dagger.
The leper carried the oar on his shoulder, and waited with malice in his eyes, ready to take the slave as soon as he went up.
Suddenly, the surface of the water exploded.
Several thick tentacles slammed into the boat, and a head the size of a calf popped out.
The leper was frightened and muttered, "Octopus, octopus?"
Then a miserable howl pierced the sky, "Octopus monster!"
The octopus was unaffected, waving its tentacles and rolling towards the leper, who sat down on the boat just to dodge, and the tentacles slammed into the sea, splashing waves more than a meter high. On the side of the boat behind, a hand burst out of the water and grabbed the leper by the arm.
The leper turned his head in horror, but saw that it was bald.
The bald man looked pained, his mouth was full of blood, his eyes were terrified, he grabbed the leper vigorously, and shouted in his mouth: "Leper, save me!
"Whoa!"
The bald head flew out of the water, and the leper realized that he also had a thick tentacle wrapped around his waist.
The tentacles waved twice, directly stuffing the bald head under the head, only to hear a "click", a handful of blood spurted out, staining the entire octopus claws red.
The leper collapsed directly, screaming and jumping up frantically, slashing with the waist knife in his hand.
One tentacle couldn't dodge, and directly saw a section of the meter long, the octopus was in pain, and the other tentacles also retracted, and slowly sank into the sea for a while.
The leper kicked the still wriggling tentacle again, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the pirate ship with a desperate paddle.
He was ruthless in his heart over and over again: If you eat my brother, Lao Tzu will eat you raw!
South China Sea, an unknown island.
The seabird rested on a tree, it had been staring at a unicorn fairy opposite it for a long time, and it was waiting for the moment when it couldn't help but fly, and that moment was the moment of feasting.
The unicorn climbed to the branch unhurriedly, the sea breeze blew, the branch swayed up and down, it was startled, spread its wings and jumped.
A shadow suddenly appeared overhead, and the long beak pecked down, and the unicorn was swallowed directly into its stomach.
The seabirds chirped happily, ready to find their next food.
Under the tree, a large number of ants are moving, and their queen ant finds that her burrow has somehow become much smaller and has stagnant water, so she is ready to move to a more solid place.
The ants marched neatly, carrying rabbits, large fish, seabirds and even a snake.
The snake's tail was still quivering slightly, and it was clear that it hadn't been dead for long.
The ants are simple-minded, but they have also found that they seem to be able to find a lot more food recently, and even if the food is a little difficult to catch, it is unusually delicious in the mouth.
The ants pass by a "forest" that they don't know is called a mushroom by humans.
An ant accidentally crashes into a mushroom, but somehow gets entangled in a spider silk.
The spider silk slowly shrank, and the ants rose into the air little by little, and a spider the size of a coconut appeared in front of its eyes.
The seabirds cooed, and their flight trajectory was a little messy.
Suddenly, the seabird plunged headlong into the sand, struggled to flap its wings a few times, and fell to the ground, its eyes wide open with inexplicable sadness.
A little bulge appears on the wide abdomen, becoming more and more acute and sharper.
Suddenly, a single horn pierced its stomach, and blood flowed down its white feathers.
The unicorn easily tore open the seabird's belly, and crawled out steadily with a scarlet body.
Without looking back at the seabirds, they gently rose and flapped their wings high.
A few one-foot-long crabs crawled out of the sea, and they smelled fishy.
The crab quickly found the half-dead seabird, easily grabbed one place, and dragged it into the sea.
As the sun set, a merchant ship slowly approached the island.
A small boat was lowered first, and a few men who were exploring the way looked around the beach, nodded to each other, and began to wave flags at the big boat.
Several small boats were lowered, and the people on the merchant ships enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the island.
Before they could reach the shore, a dozen people jumped into the sea first, buckled the iron ears of the middle boat with ropes, and shouted in unison to pull them up to a shoal.
It was only after pulling most of the bow out of the water that two young men helped an elegant old man slowly get off the boat.
The old man looked at the sunset scenery and said with a smile: "It's rare to find an island, let's rest here tonight, and ask someone to go to the island to explore it, to see if there is anything to satisfy the stomach, whether there is any cherished wood, mainly to find fresh water." We're running out of fresh water to put on!"
"Yes!" the two lads hurriedly agreed, and went happily.
The old man shook his head, found a fairly flat sandy area, pointed lightly, and immediately a few big men came over with a few sleepy parts, assembled on the spot, and formed a wide recliner in a short time.
The old man slowly lay down, looked at the merchant ships that were constantly transporting supplies to the island, and said with a smile: "Yun Hou fought in Nanwan before, and he killed the entire South China Sea pirates, and our merchant ships walked back and forth, which is a lot safer!"
A man next to him answered: "Shopkeeper, since we have the Yun family's affection, why do we have to go to sea to find Spice Island?"
The old man chuckled and said, "Friendship is friendship, business is business." Yun Hou once brought back five ships of spices from the South China Sea, and all the silver was earned, this kind of profiteering business that does not require capital, that big family is not blushing? Besides, the spice island is naturally raised, and it is not the Yun family, how can there be a reason to allow others to get rich, but not allow us to get rich?"
The man smiled and said, "Yes, the shopkeeper's high opinion!"
The old man smirked.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the woods, and all the men on the shore changed color, and they all drew their knives from their waists and threw themselves into the forest.
The old man looked at the forest and suddenly noticed that under the rays of the setting sun, the entire island seemed to be covered with a layer of blood.
The old man's heart sank slightly, and he muttered, "I hope the sea god will bless you!" (To be continued.) )
