Xiao Yuan's martial arts were weak, and when he saw the long sword stabbing at him, the sword aura was fierce, and he was so frightened that he was stunned and motionless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The queen's face changed dramatically and she exclaimed.

He Chongrui lay on the ground and watched, shouting in his heart: "Don't." "Xiao Yuan can be related to his life and death.

Xiyun's face also changed, his eyes suddenly became sharp, his right arm shook, Zizhu trembled violently, and shot away in an instant, "Ah", the sound was sharp, and the purple light broke through the air, and it was fleeting.

"Ahh

Xiyun sensed from the fight just now that these two people were determined to kill, and a slight injury would definitely not stop them, so this attack was extremely heavy.

At this time, two small cold lights flashed, and the assassin had to stand up under the serious injury, and was shot by the cold light, his body was stunned, and he fell to the ground, with two small pearls of Guanghua Hua Ze on his back, but the priest also took action.

Qingliu was puzzled, who was the enemy? Who was the friend? Before he even took a bite of the wine and food, he was so lively, he was now more dazed than Xiyun.

The priest descended from the steps.

Qingliu asked, "What the hell is going on?"

At this time, the assassin who had been sealed by the clear stream suddenly let out a low cry from his throat, his face suddenly turned pale, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he fell down.

The priest was startled and hurried to see the assassin who had been shot by her with two silver needles, and Xiyun also rushed over and flipped over, black blood overflowed from the corner of the man's mouth, and his breath was gone.

The queen let out a long sigh, and the gloom between her brows became even heavier.

The priest took the woman's hand and spread it out, and said, "They are indeed outsiders." ”

Xiyun was surprised, "Outsiders?"

"Sure enough?" Qingliu was even more surprised

The priest said, "Just like you." ”

Xiao Yuan was very grateful to Xiyun for rescuing him twice, and although his surprise did not disappear at this time, he still explained to Xiyun and said slowly: "The hands and feet of our merman people are like this. "Spread out the palm of my hand, between the slender five fingers, there is a very pale webbed-like film at the base of the fingers.

The streams and clouds and clear streams are amazing,

"Save me, Miss Xiaoyuan, please save me. The weak and eager voice came from He Chongrui, and when he saw that the fight was over, he called out again.

Xiao Yuan looked at the priest inquiringly.

The priest said, "Little monk, you must be very puzzled by what is happening in this meantime. ”

Xiyun nodded, not only puzzled, if it was a different person, he would have been assassinated twice in half a day, and he would have exploded a long time ago.

The priest said, "I can tell you everything, heal your friend's wounds, and then send you out of the merman kingdom, but you must do a few things for us, and the other thing is that you must not reveal any information about our merman kingdom to anyone after leaving here." It was the last sentence that showed sincerity.

Qingliu was going to say "He Chongrui is not a friend", but thinking of the nonsense just now, he ended up fighting, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time, seeing Xiyun's opinion, he pondered for a while, nodded, and couldn't help but say, "What do you want us to do?"

The priest said, "It's not you, it's you." The second half of the sentence is said to Xiyun.

Qingliu is so embarrassed, no wonder my senior brother is fine, but I was thrown into a water prison with this bastard. Knowing that the black-robed woman would not tell her about the matter, she motioned to Xiyun and the others, came to He Chongrui's side, squatted down, and said, "Will you make the Qingyun Sword Technique?"

He Chongrui's face changed greatly, and his eyes flickered, "I, I...... Won't ......"

Qingliu nodded with a pout, and turned around and said, "Senior brother, he won't know that the Qingyun Sword Technique has no effect on us, he is an enemy or a friend, there is no need to save him." ”

"Ah, I will! I will!" He Chongrui couldn't stand such a stir, he was with Zhong Hengling and Zhou Yixin on weekdays, and he knew the truth that he couldn't afford to be early, so he naturally couldn't imagine that Qingliu was just provoking him.

Qingliu showed a smug smile at Xiyun, turned his head back, and stretched his face again, "Will you be? You should know how much I want to kill you, but now I want to save you, if Zhou Yixin knows that you are still alive, he will not let you go, do you know what to do?"

He Chongrui gritted his teeth, his eyes showed remorse, he groaned for a long time, and said dejectedly: "I know what to do, Zhou Yixin and the Qishan Sword Sect are the culprits, I will expose this matter and restore your innocence, but...... Can you guarantee that the Qingyun Sword Sect won't kill me?"

There is no evidence, even if He Chongrui wants to admit his guilt, Zhou Yixin can not admit it, only by using the Qingyun Sword Technique can he prove what he said, but since he has used the Qingyun Sword Technique, how can the Qingyun Sword Sect allow him to be alive?

If it was before, although Qingliu could talk nonsense and bluff for as long as he could, now he didn't have this kind of thought, and said hesitantly: "You only have two or three layers of martial arts left, Qingyun Sword Sect...... Let's not kill them all. He didn't quite believe this, so he said, "Don't you hate Zhou Yixin?" Are you willing to watch the culprit who made you such a culprit go unpunished, and let him be the head of the faction?"

He Chongrui's heart suddenly swelled with monstrous hatred, his eyes were certain, and he said: "Okay! Just do this, even if you die, I want Zhou Yixin to die in front of me!"

Qingliu was overjoyed, and sure enough, it was much easier to let him take revenge than to let him help.

Xiyun didn't dare to be careless now, so he always maintained the "Clear Heart Method", sensing his strong hatred, and shook his head slightly.

Qingliu didn't care about this, and said to Xiyun: "Look at what they want you to do, if you think you can accept it, accept it, and don't accept it if you can't accept it." ”

Xiyun nodded, and turned to the queen: "Your Excellency, when I first arrived in your land, I didn't know anything about everything that happened here, General Jiao, General Long, and the Administrator obviously had doubts about the priest when they left, and I also suffered an assassination in the priest's hall, so I can't tell ...... apart."

The queen said softly, "The priest is the one I trust the most, it doesn't matter, I will tell you everything...... Guys. He nodded slightly to the priest.

The priest sighed slightly and motioned for everyone to take their seats. She covered the corpse on the ground with two black cloths, and after a while, white smoke rose from under the black cloth, and with a burst of burning, the black cloth slowly descended, and finally fell flat to the ground. She withdrew the black cloth into her robe, and the body was gone.

Xiyun and the three of them were all shocked, and the queen and Xiao Yuan seemed to be used to it.

Qingliu was a little worried, what happened in this strange place was also extremely strange, these things happened in the palace, the queen did not seem to have the intention of summoning guards, but I thought that this matter must be done in secret - the king of a country must also act in secret, but I know that this matter is very important and extremely dangerous.

The priest disposed of the body and then began to speak, "The cause of this was ...... five years ago."

Xiyun and the three of them were slightly stunned, five years ago, they wouldn't talk about it for five years, right?

"Five years ago, there was a great earthquake in the East China Sea, and three months after the earthquake, a strange fish appeared in our place, the piranous fish. At first, we didn't pay attention until there were fewer and fewer other fish in the river, most of the fish in the pond were devoured, and more and more people were injured in the water, and we realized the existence and horror of this exotic fish. ”

"But at that time, the disaster was out of control, the piranus multiplied very fast, we tried our best to kill it, but there were always fish that slipped through the net, and it was not until half a year ago that Xiao Yuan and I extracted a poison from the copper-faced thorn vine, and finally prevented this disaster, and drove the only remaining piranus trapped in the water prison to alert ourselves. ”

"We have a vast water area, but not much land, the country has a population of more than 300,000 people, and the main food is fish and shrimp and other aquatic products, this disaster forced us to use pearls and gems to trade food with your human society. ”

"The geology of our merman country is special, there is a torrent belt three miles overseas, the width of the torrent is ten miles, the white fog is vast, the waves are turbulent, the current is forward or backward, left or right, agitated in all directions, day and night, even the fish can not survive, and the ship is even more difficult to escape the fate of capsizing. ”

The queen said: "It is this rapids that has protected our mermaid country from the outside world for more than 800 years. ”

For more than 800 years, Xiyun was slightly surprised.

Qingliu frowned and asked, "Then how do you trade?" This question involves how the three of them left, although he knew that the other party would explain, but now that he had the hope of regaining his innocence, his heart couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he couldn't help but ask.

The priest said: "There are cliffs on three sides, thousands of feet high, it is difficult for birds to cross, and you can only go out by sea." There is an undercurrent leading to the open sea hidden in the rapids, and only by sailing on this undercurrent can we cross the rapids, and only our queen can detect the location of this undercurrent with the help of the Dinghai Orb and guide the boats to pass. The undercurrent changes position every three days, so our ships have to return within three days, and each trip requires the queen to go to sea to detect the undercurrent. ”

Qingliu reacted quickly and asked, "How often do you usually go to sea?"

The queen sighed slightly.

The priest said, "We used to go to sea only once every few years, and we only purchased some scarce things, but now we ...... Once every half a month. Food is still in short supply, we have to go to sea, and our frequent presence has attracted the attention of many people in your human society. For the past three years, ships have been following us covertly, and we have had to strengthen our guards, but we are mainly held back by rapids. ”

Qingliu nodded clearly, the women of the mermaid country are all beautiful, and they carry valuable things such as pearls and gemstones, and they are not to cause lust and greed, but even if there is a torrent belt, it should be fine, so there are some doubts.

The priest seemed to have noticed that he was much smarter than Xiyun, and most of the time he spoke to him at this time.

At this time, Xiyun said, "Isn't the queen poisoned for half a month?"

Xiao Yuan nodded lightly, full of sorrow.

The priest said: "The queen is the spiritual pillar of our merman country, and the poisoning must not be leaked, otherwise the whole country will be in chaos." We canceled the last sailing on the grounds that the queen was unwell, but the next one was imperative...... Because we're running out of food. Speaking of the back, there was also a little more melancholy in her cold tone.

Qingliu didn't know about the queen's poisoning, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became, and he wondered: "How could the queen be poisoned?"

There was no need to answer this question, and the priest said, "There is always a way to run out of food, and in half a year at the most, we will be able to regain self-sufficiency, but the other effect of the queen's poisoning is even greater, and it is imminent." ”
