Text Chapter 259 Pursuit (4)

The prosperity of the Reef Kingdom is different from that of the Ming Kingdom. The Ming Kingdom is like a stream passing by, cheerful and gentle, and the air is full of freshness. Everything in the Reef Kingdom is full of violence. Although it has a bright and beautiful appearance, the inside is as shocking as a pile of rocks after a volcanic explosion.

Qin Changfu took his followers to walk and watch the reef country. The people here dressed similarly to those of Ming country, the rich people wore silk, and the poor people wore linen. The food they ate was similar to that of Ming country, but the cooking methods were slightly different.

The people here look very different. Some are like the people in Ming Kingdom, while others have extremely wide noses, extremely wide mouths, extremely large eyes or extremely large ears, just like descendants of people and monsters.

It is conceivable that the people who lived in the Reef Kingdom had bizarre facial features at the beginning, and later the pirates in the Ming Kingdom looked like the Ming Kingdom. Almost all the people on the pirate ship were men, and there were several cooks. These men married women born in the Reef Kingdom and raised their descendants. Three hundred years later, the people in the Reef Kingdom looked like this. Those who looked the same as those in the Ming Kingdom were probably the descendants of the pirates and cooks.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Qin Changfu exclaimed: "It is not easy for these people who look the same as us. There has been no human characteristics of the Reef Kingdom three hundred years ago."

The follower said, "Sir, these people are dressed in gorgeous clothes and look like they are from nobles. I think that three hundred years ago, people with high status on the ship must have been with the cook, and they became emperors or other nobles with descendants. People with low status were with the women born here, and they became commoners with descendants. The nobles only intermarried with the nobles, so the people with the appearance of Ming Kingdom married the people with the appearance of Ming Kingdom, so the appearance of the descendants would not be affected."

Qin Changfu nodded: "What he said makes sense."

He bought some food from the specialty of the Reef Country, distributed it to his followers, and took them to continue walking on the streets of the Reef Country. Looking around, gold, silver and jewelry seemed to cover the entire Reef Country. Every pedestrian was wearing decorations, and even beggars begging on the street would wear pearl necklaces around their necks and jade bracelets on their hands.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Qin Changfu asked in confusion like a follower beside him: "Strange, the beggar obviously has jewelry on his body, so why didn't he sell it for money?"

The follower shook his head: "This little one doesn't know either."

Qin Changfu asked another follower again: "Do you know?"

The follower scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "Sir, you see the ornaments they wear are obviously stringed up by people without careful polishing. Looking at the number of them, you can imagine that in the reef country, there are many ores like stones, so they can be seen everywhere. Even if the beggar sells the ornaments, they cannot get money."

Qin Changfu laughed: "I naturally thought of this, but gold, silver and jade are not easy to take out of the stone. What's more, even if these decorations are not very exquisite, it will take some effort. If these decorations are as valuable as stones in the Reef Country, why do you have to spend so many twists and turns to do it?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The follower smiled and scratched his head: "What the adults said makes sense, but the villain really doesn't know what the situation is."

Qin Changfu smiled: "Let's go to see the emperor of the Reef Kingdom first, and then go and catch the water demon after receiving the instructions."

The palace style of Reef Kingdom is unique, and it is added to the Ming Kingdom Palace.

Some jade strings and gold columns have diverse patterns on the pillars, and more are mainly water monster patterns.

Another difference from Mingguo Palace is that there are many pools in the Reef Kingdom Palace, with various fountains, extremely novel. There are sculptures of water monsters in the middle, some dancing, some singing, with different expressions and different styles.

After Qin Changfu submitted his ID, he was led by the guards of the Reef Kingdom to the place where the emperor met the foreign envoys.

"Our Majesty is meeting you messengers in the Listening Rain Hall. Just follow me." The guard said, his extremely wide nose swaying up and down, looking a little funny, like an elf monster that only appears in the play.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Qin Changfu tried hard to hold it in, so that he would not laugh, but he trembled slightly due to the extreme turmoil in his heart. The little guard seemed to have seen his strangeness, lowered his head with inferiority, and stopped saying a word. This made him feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to say something to relieve the awkward atmosphere. Unexpectedly, the little guard spoke first.

"Mr. Qin, you don't have to worry about what impact your expression will have on me. In our Reef Country, there are many people who look like this, so I don't care at all. I'm just a little envious after seeing a handsome young man like you. You are as charming as the prince of our Reef Country."

These words made Qin Changfu even more embarrassed: "I am just a casual person. I don't care about my appearance. Appearance is useless to me."

The little guard was even more envious after hearing this.

Finally arrived outside the Tingyu Hall, Qin Changfu saw a scene that shocked him: a water demon with a long shawl was locked by layers of chains, struggling with tears, and vomiting various decorations due to discomfort. This water demon is a woman with a black head, snow-white skin, and delicate facial features that are the same as the water demon in Mingguo.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"What's going on?" He asked by holding the little guard next to him, looking at the water demon's painful appearance, he felt very nervous.

"This is the water monster I caught a year ago. When this water monster vomited, it spit out a string of pearl necklaces. So our Majesty ordered someone to give her vomiting medicine every day, so that she could spit out gold and silver jewelry every moment."

Qin Changfu suddenly realized that the reason why there are so many decorations in the Reef Kingdom that cannot be counted is because of this! But doing this is simply a mess, and no one has come to persuade the emperor to stop this practice.

He asked again, "Then how can this water monster live without eating?"

"Although she spends most of her time spitting out jewelry, she still has three chances to eat every day. There is still half an hour to rest after the meal."

"What do you give her food?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"It is usually the leftover fish and shrimps that the princess and nobles eat."

Qin Changfu looked at it for a while and couldn't help feeling sad. The water demon in Ming Kingdom was pitiful, but he was just locked in a cage for display. However, this water demon was tortured and abused like this. He had to live in vomiting most of the time every day, and his body was entangled in cold chains, and there was no hope of escape.

The little guard pulled him away: "Mr. Qin, don't worry about this kind of thing. Even if you feel sorry for her, it's useless. No one dares to disobey the orders given by our Majesty. To put it bluntly, the people here are all descendants of the pirates in Ming Kingdom. Now all the regulations are continued from the pirate ships, so this is an unreasonable place."

"Can you tell me more about Reef Country?"

The little guard looked around and saw that there was nothing else

The man whispered: "Mr. Qin, secretly tell you the secret of a reef country. Only our guards know this secret."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Qin Changfu leaned over his face curiously and looked at the little guard: "You said."

"In the underground of His Majesty's bedroom, there is a secret escape passage that can escape directly from the reef Kingdom to the water demon's palace. This was built by the late emperor to meet with a water demon. After the new emperor took office, he hated the water demon very much. In order to avenge his mother, he asked someone to seal the two entrances of the passage and locked the water demon who seduced the late emperor. It is said that every night, the whine and cry of the water demon were heard there, which was extremely terrifying. For this reason, our Majesty and the Empress moved to another hall to live."

"But why does Your Majesty hate that water demon? Isn't it normal for the late emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards?"

"In your Ming Kingdom, it is normal for the emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards, but in the Reef Kingdom, the emperor can only have one wife, the Empress."

Qin Changfu listened carefully, and suddenly the little guard fell down with a sound. There was a very deep long wound on his back, and blood came out from it.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Qin Changfu is a martial arts practitioner, so he was shocked and sympathized when he saw this scene, and was not afraid. After he recovered from his calmness, he looked at another guard behind the little guard and asked lightly: "Why do you do this?"

The guard held his hands on his chest: "Sir, he made a mistake, why can't I punish him?"

"What mistake did he make?"

"Master Envoy, don't you know what he made?" The guard smiled sinisterly. "Fortunately, I happened to pass by here and learned that the secret of our reef country was leaked by this dog."

As he spoke, he walked towards Qin Changfu. He clapped his hands and about twenty guards with great martial arts jumped out and surrounded him.

"What do you want?" Qin Changfu looked at these vicious guards and thought that although he was very skilled in martial arts, he was not the opponent of so many people.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The leading guard said, "Now Lord Qin has known such a big secret. In order to prevent you from telling this matter, you must listen to us."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Isn't your envoy to the Reef Kingdom this time just to beg our Majesty to take the lead in capturing the water demons in the demon sea? Our Majesty promised your request, but after you capture the water demon, you must submit to my Reef Kingdom and become the imperial guard of my Reef Kingdom."

Qin Changfu was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be snatched by Ming Kingdom and Reef Kingdom. It seemed that he still had some ability. However, he still didn't want to stay in this reef Kingdom, which was not familiar with. Although returning to Ming Kingdom meant to deal with the second princess, Ming Kingdom was his home, where his relatives and friends were there.

Qin Changfu planned to drag this topic first, and then he and the Emperor of Ming Kingdom tried to get rid of the difficulties of the reef country. He sighed helplessly and said to the leading guard: "Since he is dead, please take me away."

The leader guard looked at him suspiciously: "Come with me."

After walking through the twists and turns of the road paved with maze-like golden floor tiles, Qin Changfu finally arrived at Tingyu Hall.

As expected, the Emperor of Reef Kingdom really looks like a native of Ming Kingdom.

"Master Qin." Before Qin Changfu could salute, the emperor spoke first, "Welcome to our reef country."
