After returning the horse, Li Huowang walked into an inn. The journey was tiring and he needed to regain his strength before boarding the ship.
"Sir, your food is ready." After serving the food, the waiter turned around and was about to leave when he was grabbed by Li Huowang.
"Wait, these fish and shrimps are still alive? How can I eat them?"
"Haha, is this your first time in Huating City? This is not alive, it's called raw pickled food. You see, other guests eat like this. You can try it. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."
Li Huowang looked at the food on other tables, then wrapped his right hand in gauze and waved outward to drive away the waiter.
Perhaps because of its proximity to the sea, the cuisine here is very different from other places, and is mostly based on things from the sea.
Although it was a bit uncomfortable at first, I have to say that it is indeed fresh, and the marinated meat is sweet and has a unique flavor.
After eating and drinking enough, Li Huowang fell down and went to sleep. He waited until three o'clock in the morning the next day before getting up. After shaking his somewhat groggy head, Li Huowang turned over and got out of bed. "Get on the boat!"
The boat to Xingdao is very easy to find. It is a medium-sized boat with a square bottom, and it can easily carry dozens of people.
Just when Li Huowang was about to board the ship, he was stopped by the unshaven and unshaven captain, "Wait a minute! What's your last name?"
"The surname is Er."
"Stop teasing me! There's no one with the surname Er. If you don't tell the truth, just go down. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
"Surname Bai."
After looking Li Huowang up and down for a while, the boss of the boat waved his hand, "That's pretty much it. Next, what's your last name?"
After burning the incense, Li Huowang exhaled slowly as he watched the port in the distance gradually get smaller. He was about to see Zhuge Yuan again. His mood at the moment was very complicated.
Suspicion? Excitement? Joy? Curiosity? Maybe a little bit of it.
Touching his belly, Li Huowang felt a little relieved. He was no longer the Li Huowang who had just come out of Qingfeng Temple. No matter what happened next, he would always be prepared.
"Haha, why don't you go inside and sit for a while? It's so cold with the sea breeze outside." A voice came from behind.
Li Huowang turned his head and saw a young man with a piece of dog skin plaster on his forehead leaning against him with a playful smile.
Frowning slightly, Li Huowang was too lazy to pay attention to this familiar person and moved his body to the side.
"It's fate that we are on the same ship. It takes six days to get to Xingdao. Let's go in and play leaf cards together. Three are missing and one is missing."
"No." Li Huowang replied coldly, and walked a few steps quickly to the other side of the deck.
Seeing Li Huowang's attitude, the man didn't bother to look for trouble and turned around to walk towards the cabin.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and everyone looked up at the same time, and suddenly saw a huge ship passing by.
This boat is very big, like a hill. Just getting close can block all the sunlight on the lucky boat. On the side of the boat, there are bronze lion heads as big as the Eight Immortals table hanging side by side.
The lion's head was open wide, and something inside was glowing with cold light, just like the fangs of the copper-headed lion.
This is obviously a warship. Some marks on the hull prove that the ship has just finished a battle.
As soon as the ship appeared, everyone on the deck immediately fell to the ground, their bodies shaking like sieves.
"Daliang Kingdom's ship? Who are they fighting with?" While Li Huowang was pondering this question, the oppressive warship slowly sailed towards the port.
When the sun returned to the deck of the lucky ship, the others let out a sigh of relief.
"You are so brave, how dare you not kneel down. If you make the soldier angry, your life will be lost!"
The dog-skin plaster from before walked up to Li Huowang and raised his thumbs up to Li Huowang.
"Where are they coming from?" Li Huowang asked him.
"How do I know this? But there are rumors in the city that they are looking for something overseas."
"Sent out such a large formation, actually just to find something?"
Li Huowang immediately remembered what he and Ji Xiang were looking for before. That was also looking for something.
"Is it possible that this turbid heart is just one of the things they want? What on earth do they want with so many heavenly and earthly treasures?"
Li Huowang always felt that something big was happening somewhere at this moment, but he didn't have any clue.
He shook his head slightly to get rid of these questions that had nothing to do with him, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Nothing happened in the next few days, and it was normal for the weather to be calm. However, for Li Huowang, sitting on the boat that was gradually approaching Xingdao, he felt as if his days were like years.
"Jade Unicorn"
"Six Hundred Sons,"
"One hundred thousand dollars, bald man, can you play cards faster? You are grinding every time. Are you following a mother?"
"Hey! Wait a minute, I win! Give me money, give me money!"
Li Huowang leaned against the hull of the boat and silently watched those people playing leaf tiles to pass the time. After watching it for a few days, he understood it. To put it bluntly, this kind of leaf tiles is like mahjong in your hand.
But the number of tiles is much less. There are more than 100 mahjong tiles, but there are only a few dozen leaf tiles, so you can win and lose quickly by playing.
Not only does he understand the rules, but Li Huowang also understands people. The bully likes to cheat, but the bald man with a beard has the best poker skills, and he wins the most with his poker skills.
Li Huowang was not the only one watching, other bored people also gathered around to watch the card game to relieve their boredom.
"Straight bitch! You kid actually dares to cheat! I will lose everything no matter what!" Soon the card game turned into a fight, but it did not affect the purpose of the others to relieve their boredom at all.
"Ah." A little girl under four years old wearing crotchless pants walked up to Li Huowang and swayed his trouser legs.
Seeing Li Huowang looking over, she smiled and handed over the half-eaten sesame candy in her hand.
Li Huowang looked into her eyes. The little girl's eyes were extremely clean and her mind was extremely simple. She just wanted to share the delicious candies with others, just like the idiot senior sister who followed her in Qingfeng Temple and gave the candies to herself.<
/p>
"Woo..." The steamed bun squatting in the corner stretched out his head.
When the little girl saw the big yellow dog, she was so happy that she immediately handed the sesame candy held high to the steamed bun again.
Just when the steamed bun carefully opened its mouth and prepared to take the candy away, a tentacle quickly stretched out and swept the sesame candy away.
Seeing the slimy black tentacles retracting into Li Huowang's red robe, the little girl suddenly giggled with joy, completely unaware of what was happening.
Just when she was supporting Li Huowang with her hands, opening her mouth wide and screaming at the place where the tentacles disappeared, a woman with a sallow complexion quickly held her in her arms.
She hugged her struggling daughter, bowed several times to Li Huowang, and walked towards the cabin where the woman lived.
The steamed bun glanced at the motionless master, tilted his head towards him, and kept licking the small handprints on the blood-colored robe with his tongue. There was a bit of sweetness in the sticky handprints.
