A gust of evening wind blew in from the deck, rustling He Liang's loose robe.
Behind him were a dozen guards, all of whom must have been soldiers.
Huo Ji stood on the stage, raised the corners of his lips, cupped his hands and said, "I will see you at the end of the day."
He Liang didn't respond and walked forward. Wherever he passed, the crowd dispersed.
The arena is divided into Wen Lei and Wu Lei, which are arranged on the lake outside, more than a hundred feet away from the boat. The strange thing is that there is no bridge leading to the arena. If there is no boat to see off, even if you use Qinggong, you may not be able to fly.
past.
He glanced at the guest seats in the boat, walked directly to the third floor, and sat in the seat with the best view of the battle.
Cross your legs and lean against the back of the chair, your movements comfortable and lazy.
"Okay, no need to be polite, just get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
It was the first time for Chihuang to see He Liang, so he couldn't help but look up twice. He didn't take it seriously at first, but when he stared at those eyes, he felt that they seemed familiar.
Perhaps she had been looking at him for a long time. He Liang touched his chin and asked with a smile: "The princess has been staring at me. Could it be that she is interested in me? I have long heard that the princess has unparalleled beauty in the world and is also called "the princess" by the emperor.
The female God of War, when I see her today, she really lives up to her reputation. Huo Ji, if you have a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!"
Everyone suddenly took a breath of cold air, Chihuang was Huo Ji’s wife before she passed away! Is He Liang planning to rob her openly?
The red phoenix bowed and saluted, and its voice was like the cry of an oriole: "Your Majesty, the red phoenix is no more beautiful than a willow tree. The so-called use of sound to control birds is just a rumor."
Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, she can only say this, otherwise, with He Liang's power, I am afraid that she will become a 'canary' raised in the Regent's Palace tomorrow.
Fortunately, He Liang didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and joked: "The posture of Pu Liu? If the princess were the posture of Pu Liu, all the women in the world would hang themselves in shame and anger."
Linqinghe saw this and stepped forward to smooth things over: "The prince seemed to have hit it off with the princess, and they had a very happy conversation. But today, General Huo set up a competition on the boat, and most of the people in Phoenix City came to join in the fun, and presumably the prince too.
Same, if you continue to wait, I'm afraid it will be dawn soon, which will waste the prince's good interest in vain."
"That's right, let's beat the drums and beat the drums!"
He Liang glanced at Huo Ji with half a smile, and the latter took Chi Huang's hand with an expression on his face, walked up to the third floor and sat next to He Liang.
Linqing Heye immediately came up and sat down, and winked at the steward, who looked outside the boat and said loudly: "Drumming!"
‘Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong’
The loud sound of drums spread from the lake to all directions. Everyone looked for the sound and saw huge waves on the originally calm lake.
As the river stopped surging, the originally ordinary two-sided arena suddenly expanded from the original small wooden platform to accommodate hundreds of people amid the sound of mechanical operation.
‘Papa’
The steward high-fived and saw hundreds of sky lanterns flying out from the woods on the other side. These sky lanterns were different from what they usually saw. The light was as bright as a pearl at night, and it illuminated the Qujiang River for hundreds of miles as if it were daytime.
Like Yi shooting for nine days, the rivers condensed with clear light.
That's all. After the Kongming Lanterns are raised, lotus lanterns of various types float down from the upstream, and the river surface reflected in the dark night sky creates a beautiful and fantasy landscape.
Countless fluorescent birds fly over the sky with flowers in their arms, like a vision coming from the sky.
Everyone knew that this must be Chi Huang's doing, but at this moment, in front of He Liang, they did not dare to do it again.
He Liang looked at Chi Huang and saw her staring unblinkingly at the river. He could not see her expression clearly through the veil, but he became curious about Chi Huang and wanted to find out.
Perhaps his gaze was too intense, which made her feel uncomfortable, and she frowned involuntarily.
Huo Ji seemed to be aware of it and turned slightly to cover He Liang's scorching gaze with his own body.
He Liang smiled, didn't care, and continued to look outside the boat.
After the fancy opening, two large-scale arenas finally took shape.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that the arena seemed to be alive, and as if there were mechanisms operating under the water. In the blink of an eye, the size of the arena doubled several times.
The man in charge high-fived again, and a strange sound of 'click, click, click' came from the Wen Lei arena.
A dark, flat hole was revealed on the side of the arena above the horizontal plane, and slender wooden boards were spit out one after another. There seemed to be no connection between the wooden boards, but the splicing speed was extremely fast, and they quickly extended towards the boat.
I saw the first wooden board hit the hull of the boat, but I didn't hear the impact. Instead, I heard a "snap".
The good-hearted person took a closer look and found that the wooden board was tightly embedded into the hull of the boat.
A bridge connecting the arena and the boat suddenly took shape. Some people who did not believe in evil stepped on it and found that the wooden planks were very strong and did not scatter or break. They picked at the gap twice and still could not find the connection.
thing.
The mechanism on Wu Lei's side was also opened, but this time the hole was no bigger than a fist. Before they could ask questions, a chain as thick as a baby's arm flew directly towards the painting boat. Its long black shadow was like a giant python, and it was fierce.
Many people were frightened by the sound of breaking through the air and instinctively moved back.
‘Click’
In the flash of lightning, the chain was also embedded into the hull of the boat, closing it perfectly.
"General Huo, what are these? You don't want us to step on these boards and chains into the ring, do you?"
Huo Ji explained: "It's just a mechanism technique. Both arenas are the same. The mechanisms are hidden inside and not exposed on the surface. The ugly story is ahead. Huo can't guarantee when the boards and chains will break. There are
Those who are brave can give it a try.”
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Huo Ji's move directly eliminated half of the adults.
A quarter of an hour passed. Finally, a thin-looking scholar raised his hand. He bowed to He Liang and Huo Ji, saluted, and then walked to the bridge connecting Wen Lei.
He stepped on it twice, but there was no difference. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, then climbed onto the bridge with his eyes closed.
Unexpectedly, this bridge made of spliced wooden planks was very stable and did not shake at all. Although I felt a little relieved, I did not dare to relax my vigilance.
The bridge was only a hundred feet long, but he felt as if he had walked a hundred and eighty thousand miles.
Not only was there a cold sweat on his head, but even the onlookers were excited.
Naturally, they were not worried about the scholar's safety, but they were worried that the ten treasures would fall into the hands of others.
Although Huo Ji didn't say it explicitly, since he put so much effort into it, the ten treasures must not be much different at the end.
As for some insiders, today they are determined to compete for one of the civil and military leaders. If they can get such a thing, they will have imperial power, wealth and honor at their fingertips.
