Two flowers bloomed, one for each. Zuo Sanxiang received a generous donation from Hu Xiya, which temporarily stabilized the morale of the army in Luntai City.

Li Xiaofei returned to Huayun City from Wugui Village with his two wives, and everyone was silent along the way.

Full of hope, I went to Qiyun Country to look for the three-tailed falcon, but the answer I got was that Qiyun Country was not the habitat of the three-tailed falcon at all.

What Li Xiaofei is most worried about is that Wang Ruoyun can't bear it physically and mentally. Nothing is more painful than dashed hopes.

Li Xiaofei always wanted to say something on the way, but every time he felt it was too artificial. It was okay not to say it, but it seemed like he was covering up something. At this moment, Li Xiaofei was not sure whether there really was such a three-tailed falcon in the world. Only

Silence covers everything, and silence brings a trace of indifference.

However, for Qi Yunguo, this time it was a great harvest. The previously insurmountable snow-capped mountains could now be climbed.

The big lake behind Sage Mountain will be accessible in the near future. As long as Li Xiaofei and the others use their method, they can climb over several other snow-capped mountains and descend to the lake from a gentle slope.

When they arrived at Huayun City, Black Pearl ran over and hugged Li Xiaofei, "I thought you would die on the snow mountain, but I didn't expect you would never die!"

Wang Ruoyun looked a little surprised, but Hongrui explained to her, "The etiquette of people in Fanbang is very different from that of the Central Plains. She is just Xiaofei's friend and assistant!"

Li Xiaofei smiled, "If I die, will you wait here forever?"

"I will take the remaining people with me and continue our voyage, and we will not stop because of you."

King Karina of Qiyun Kingdom prepared the last 500 sheep and 500 dogs in the city for Li Xiaofei, but Li Xiaofei refused them all.

Li Xiaofei asked Old Conch to convey his intention: "Don't use people to sacrifice big snakes in the future. Explore the places behind the snowy mountains so that more people can farm and graze. The next time Daliang's fleet arrives, Daliang's ships can

It can’t hold Qi Yunguo’s goods.”

Karina nodded in understanding and asked Old Conch to convey her gratitude.

Li Xiaofei and his party continued to board the boat and headed south to catch up with Yu Shengzhi's fleet.

After driving away from Qiyun Kingdom, Wang Ruoyun looked at Huayun City in the sunset and sighed, "This is a small country with few people. If there were no human sacrifices, it would be an ideal paradise!"

Hong Rui took Wang Ruoyun's right hand and said, "Human sacrifice is to preserve their small country and its people. Their current land is not enough to feed more people, so they have this human sacrifice."

Wang Ruoyun turned around and said, "So, my sister has known about it for a long time. Will King Karina know about it too?"

Hong Rui smiled and said, "Actually, everyone in Qiyun Country knows it, but they don't say it out loud."

Li Xiaofei came over to protect them, "It's windy, let's go inside the cabin. This time we helped them cross the snowy mountains. It should be better for us to go to Qiyun Country next time! The human sacrifice thing is coming to an end soon.

That big snake can live for at most three to five years."

"We should think more about ourselves. We don't know where the other people are now. In the vast sea, with a narrow escape from death, we have a year to go to Xiaoyao Island. Along the way, we have to find fresh water and food on other desert islands.

"Hongrui expressed concern about the future.

The three people turned around and entered the cabin. Wang Ruoyun asked Li Xiaofei, "I think it's all smooth sailing when you go to sea. Why does Sister Hong say it's so scary?"

Li Xiaofei touched Wang Ruoyun's forehead, "I won't scare you if I tell you about my near-death experience. We have encountered tornadoes, sea monsters, pirates, and cannibals! But the most terrifying thing is that we can't find the island for many days in a row."

To Tamsui.”

"Encountering a tornado is nothing more than a gamble of your life. It happens in an instant. Sea monsters, pirates and cannibals will be attacked when they encounter them. The only thing that is lack of water is that no amount of martial arts or money can solve it!" Hongrui added.

"When we are in this vast sea, we feel that there is no difference between us and ants. I remember when I was a child, I carried half a bucket of water to drench the ants' nest, and I felt that I could control the fate of the ants. But later I realized that we don't even have our own fate.

It cannot be controlled. Sister Hong, husband, if you really encounter a tornado, your journey in this world will not be in vain."

People say that people who are about to die have good words, and there is nothing more mournful than death. Wang Ruoyun's words are half of his heart and half of his kindness.

Li Xiaofei and Hong Rui wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say. Wang Ruoyun himself broke the silence again.

"I was ignorant when I was young, but later I realized that living in this world is not easy. I pretended to be crazy for more than ten years and was exhausted mentally and physically, but it was better than people who have toiled year after year and had to worry about food and drink. I once met Yuan Xin

In order to save those who could not afford medicine, he sold the gold leaves that his husband gave him. Over the past few decades, I have also understood that no matter whether it is emperors, generals or ordinary people, their lives are not stable. Even seven or eight years old

Children also have to brave the wind and snow to hawk on the streets with their parents just to make a living."

Hong Rui sighed, "Thousands of soldiers fought hard and fought hard to conquer the country, but in the end, only one person was replaced and everyone suffered. Xiao Fei, do you think it was worth it?"

Li Xiaofei opened the half-opened window and said, "It's worth it. Isolating people is not as good as a peace dog. The hardships in this world are better than being precarious. If I could have dozens of acres of fertile land in Lijia Village with one ox and ten sheep, I wouldn't have to fight for half my life."

. However, many things are not as good as we originally thought. Many roads are not the road we imagined. However, this lowly thing is still preserved, and the descendants of the aristocratic family are still the aristocratic family. Maybe this is God's will!"

"I think everything depends on man-made things. Xiao Fei was too naive in many things at the beginning. He sacrificed too many people for the sake of the overall situation and righteousness. The result was just to allow the emperor and the family to continue to enslave the people! If you were not bound by the false name at the beginning, you would be sitting here now

It’s you who belongs to Luoyang City!” Hong Rui became indignant when she mentioned what happened back then.

Wang Ruoyun wasn't sure what happened that year, so she laughed, "Sister Hong means that our husband has a chance to become emperor? Fortunately, this ship is full of people brought back from overseas by my husband, otherwise someone would inform us.

We are about to be exterminated by the nine tribes!"

Hongrui smiled, "For such an indecisive and benevolent person, it would be a good thing not to be an emperor. Emperors are not made by humans! People who become emperors do not hesitate to sacrifice all the people who can be sacrificed. How can Xiaofei, who loves his wife and children, be an emperor?"

. His overflowing love and kindness can also infect others. The people who had already proclaimed themselves emperors were also deceived by him into death and their country was destroyed."

Li Xiaofei looked very embarrassed, "I didn't expect Liu Jian to take action at the alliance banquet, and it was still on Zhong Zhiming's territory. Alas, it's my fault that I always thought more about Liu Jian and harmed Zhong Zhiming and his wife."

"Liu Jian is convinced that you will always be soft-hearted and favor him, so you attack the people around you again and again. The invincible South China Sea Navy doesn't even have a name now." Hong Rui said more and more.

gas

Li Xiaofei coughed for a while, "It's me, cough, cough, I'm sorry brothers, the three of us can talk today, but we won't mention it in the future. Liu Jian is cruel, we still have children in Luoyang!"

"Forget it, Sister Hong, now it's a foregone conclusion. As long as our family is safe, we don't have to worry about small things like national affairs. Right?"

Hongrui calmed down a little, "I just feel it's not worth it for those friends who died. Many of them could have survived."

The moonlight outside the window didn't know when it came in. Li Xiaofei lowered his head and looked at the swaying moonlight. "This moon hangs in the sky. It has illuminated the ancients, us, and will illuminate future generations. The moon shows the way to good people and bad people."

.Over the years, I have also thought about revenge and seeking justice for my brothers. But now that the world is settled, if I, Li Xiaofei, assassinates Wang Shajia and raises my troops to rebel again, then wouldn’t I be worse than Liu Jian and become the one who brings trouble to the world?

A sinner? Sister Hong is right, I am not suitable to be an emperor, nor am I suitable to be a commander-in-chief. It’s just that the times make heroes and I have been pushed to the forefront. Now what we have to do is to obey the destiny and do everything we can."

"I am also aggrieved. I am almost sixty years old. I really thought that I, an old woman, would still instigate you to rebel. It's just that as people get older, they tend to think of the past and the dead."

Wang Ruoyun looked at the two of them, "It's not easy to live in this world. No matter how bastard Liu Jian is, he is still the master of ZTE who can rebuild Daliang and put an end to the troubled times. At least the people of Daliang don't have to die in vain."

Li Xiaofei shook his head, "I think Liu Jian is almost obsessed with the art of immortality. He came out to find the immortality."

We must be more than one of the old people. Before we left, we sent 5,000 elite soldiers to the Western Regions, probably for this very reason. If a flatterer tries to trick him into giving clues about the magic of immortality in a certain country, Liu Jian will definitely send troops.

Attack. Then the life of the people of Daliang will be even more miserable!"

"If we can't find the elixir of life, how will we deal with it? The five hundred forbidden troops and more than a thousand Jiangnan naval forces he sent are all to monitor us. We have less than a thousand of our own." Hong Rui is worried about the future.

thing.

"Don't worry, there will always be those who are greedy for rewards and rush to present the so-called immortality and elixirs to the emperor. You must know that anything can happen in six years. We are wandering overseas without restraint, let alone

I am involved in the fight between the Crown Prince and the King of Jin. When the time comes, I will have a way to convince the Forbidden Army and the Jiangnan Navy to return to Daliang together. Don’t worry, no one will want to go home!"

"Home, I wonder how Zhan Fei and Sister Qing are doing?"

"With Qing'er here, Zhan Fei will be very safe. As long as Zhan Fei is safe, we can feel at ease no matter what."

"Sister Hong, husband, don't you have a daughter? Why haven't you mentioned her in so many years?"

Li Xiaofei and Hong Rui looked at each other, "She is the Princess Youran who met you, and is now Liu Jian's daughter. For her safety, we will never say these things, let alone ask Liu Jian to see her."

requirements.”

Hong Rui wiped her eyes, "She has grown up with Queen Xiao since she was a child. She must be smart and clever, and will not put herself in dangerous situations. However, she has always been the hostage used by Liu Jian to blackmail Xiao Fei. I hope she can

Have a good home.”

Life at sea is dull and dangerous. Not only is the wind and sunshine beautiful, seagulls are flying around, but there are also violent storms and whale sharks raging.

Fortunately, Hong Rui and some of the people she taught could play the pipa, flute, and flute, which added a bit of life to the fleet. Otherwise, many people would have been unable to bear the boredom and would have jumped into the sea.

Under the guidance of Antonio and others, Yu Shengzhi continued sailing south without any danger.

"Navigating on this sea is really depressing. Looking around, the water and sky are the same color, as if they are covered by people. Sometimes I wish I could see an island, or even a fleet of ships."

"Your name is fish. Fish entering the sea is the right way. You should be happy." Partias learned some divination and fortune-telling from Liu Mingge in his early years, and he actually used it on Yu Shengzhi today.

"Haha, it's a pity that I am a fish in the river, and I can't stand it in this vast sea."

"General Yu, you are so humble. As long as we can return smoothly this time, you will be the well-deserved number one in the navy in Daliang!"

"Navy?" Yu Shengzhi was very unfamiliar with the word navy.

"Oh, it is the fleet sailing on the sea, which is also the navy of your Central Plains people."

Yu Shengzhi's heart trembled. In the past, he felt that nothing happened, and the most he did was fight pirates. Later, he bumped into Li Xiaofei's fleet, and his own navy went to inspect them, but they were all captured.

Originally, he planned to serve in the Navy for a few years and then return to the capital after joining the ranks of General Wang and Prime Minister Xiao. But now that he heard what this white-skinned foreigner said, it turned out that he could still be the number one man in the navy.

"Mr. Partias, I am somewhat interested in your past voyages with Master Li. Can you tell us about it?"

"Well, which part do you want to hear? My hometown, the time we fought sea monsters at sea, or the places we've been to?" Partias didn't hold back.

"Sea monster? Does this thing really exist? Then, sir, would you please start with the sea monster? Let's talk about the sea monster first, and then talk about your hometown and the places you have been to."

As soon as they heard the word "sea monster", many soldiers on the deck came running over.

Partias shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't expect you to be so interested in sea monsters, so I'll start with mermaids."

When it comes to mermaids, the soldiers become excited

"Are there any male mermaids?"

"Idiot, I already said it was a mermaid,"

“Fish can also be divided into male and female”
