The shark-riding warrior piloted the killer shark and tried to jump over the rapid undercurrent. However, the killer sharks suddenly became uncontrollable and actually turned around and fled in all directions.
Tang Lie was also shocked. Although his sword skills had made great progress, they still had not reached the state of being able to defeat others without fighting. He lowered his head and saw the little white dragon proudly showing his head. It turns out that everything is controlled secretly.
What surprised him even more was that the more than a hundred shark-riding warriors were all in chaos. The killer sharks were like wild horses running wild, rushing around in the sea, and were not under their command at all. The samurai didn't bother to stop the attack. The crazy thresher shark knocked the samurai on its back into the water.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Tang Lie and the three of them quietly stayed away from the waters. Fortunately, they soon encountered a passing fishing boat. With the help of the fishermen, they boarded the deck. Looking back, they saw the hundreds of shark-riding warriors. He had already disappeared, and the whole sea was calm. It was as if what happened just now had never happened. Ya Yi'an took out a water-proof bead and traded it with the fishermen. The fishermen happily reached a tacit understanding with him and sailed the boat to sail the three of them. People are sent to Black Barrier Reef.
At dusk, they could already see the golden and soft sandy beach of the Black Barrier Reef. Ya Yi'an and Xuan Bo both thought that the crisis had passed, and happy smiles filled their faces. Tang Lie's tense nerves did not completely relax, although After successfully escaping from Crystal City, but still within the confines of the Xuhai, Shui Daiyin would not give up. If she decided to use all her strength to hunt her down, she would have little hope of escaping from this sea.
Xuan Bo quietly came to Tang Lie's side, gently held his arm, and said softly: "The matter has passed, what are you still thinking about?"
Tang Lie smiled indifferently and whispered: "Do you still remember what happened in Luoying Palace?" When mentioning the old things, Xuan Bo's pretty face turned red and he spat softly: "It's so annoying. I lost my nature at that time. Where can I find it?" Being able to remember so many things,”
Tang Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what he did to Shui Daiyin was still a secret that only existed between the two of them.
"General Fina," Xuanbo called in surprise.
Tang Lie looked up and saw Fina, dressed in a sea girl's dress, standing on the pier. The afterglow of the setting sun quietly poured on her delicate body, outlining a graceful golden outline.
Fina's ice-blue beautiful eyes stared at Tang Lie affectionately. She called Tang Lie's name in her heart, but she never had the courage to shout it out.
The fishing boat was moored in front of the pier. Tang Lie and Xuan Bo walked down the gangway side by side. Xuan Bo's fair and delicate hands hugged Tang Lie's left arm tightly, and a little bird nestled next to Tang Lie like a human being.
Fina's beautiful eyes flickered, and she felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart.
Tang Lie was keenly aware of the change in Yi Ren. At the moment of embarrassment, Xuan Bo let go of his arm and ran towards Fina. He held Fina's delicate hand and laughed happily. Fina seemed to be quickly attracted by Xuan Bo. Infected by the emotions, the two chatted happily, leaving Tang Lie aside.
Ya Yi'an looked at Tang Lie with gloating, and whispered: "For the sake of my brother, I would like to advise you that being too popular with women is not a good thing."
Tang Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head. At this time, Pan En came after hearing the news and shouted from a distance: "Tang Lie, haha, I knew you could return successfully,"
He came to Tang Lie, held Tang Lie's arm with a pair of big hands and shook it vigorously. Tang Lie smiled and nodded and said: "How are the preparations?"
Paine pointed to the sea not far away. Tang Lie looked up and saw a giant five-masted warship docked in front of the dock. More than a hundred craftsmen were busy on the ship.
Paine said with pride: "My new Dragon God is undergoing final assembly and debugging work,"
Tang Lie looked around but did not see Zhang Baqiao: "Where is he?"
Paine whispered: "Waiting for you in the hotel, he asked me to take you there alone,"
Zhang Baqiao sat alone in a dark room, puffing hard on his pipe. When he exhaled, four streams of smoke erupted from his gills, and the pungent smell of tobacco filled the whole room.
His sly eyes looked up and down at Tang Lie, as if waiting for Tang Lie to speak first.
Tang Lie came to sit opposite Zhang Baqiao with a smile. He clearly realized that the person in front of him was an old fox, and he had to be careful when dealing with him.
Tang Lie placed the ebony box in his hand in front of Zhang Baqiao: "Thank you, Mr. Baqiao, for the mask."
Zhang Baqiao laughed: "There is no reason to take back what you have given away." He picked up the smoke pot with his long and soft fingers and knocked it. He narrowed his tawny eyes and said, "I promised you something." , you have completely done it, it is time for you to fulfill your promise to me,"
Tang Lie smiled and said, "Master, everything is ready."
Zhang Baqiao nodded and turned to Pan En, who hurriedly said: "At the latest, all debugging of the Dragon God will be completed."
Zhang Baqiao looked at Pan En dissatisfied and said: "We will set off tomorrow evening," he said to Tang Lie: "Your irrelevant friends can be sent away in time. After all, this matter still has great risks, and you don't want them. What went wrong,"
Tang Lie had this intention, nodded and said: "Thank you, old man,"
Pan followed Tang Lie to his room, and seemed to have something to say to Tang Lie alone.
Tang Lie motioned for him to close the door, then looked out the window, making sure no one was peeping in the dark, and then said: "Go ahead,"
Paine lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever revealed the key to the Golden Cave to him?"
Tang Lie was slightly startled. Although he and Paine had shared the same sorrows and had reached a tacit understanding about the golden warship, Paine was a pirate after all. It was difficult to guarantee that he would not have other thoughts during this period.
Tang Lie shook his head and asked, "Why should I tell him?"
Pan En breathed a deep sigh of relief and said: "Tang Lie, I found that Zhang Baqiao is far more powerful than I thought. He was able to purchase such a large-scale warship in just a few days and mobilize hundreds of people." A sailor, even I at my most majestic can't do that,"
Tang Lie frowned and said, "Do you suspect that Zhang Baqiao has other accomplices?"
Paine nodded, a deep worry flashing through his eyes: "I even suspect that he has a relationship with Zhang Chusen from the Hailong,"
"What's the basis?"
"Look, do they look similar?" Paine's mind became flexible after experiencing a series of setbacks.
Tang Lie stretched out casually: "To tell you the truth, I am too lazy to get involved in this matter. I will hand over the gear teeth to Mr. Baqiao tomorrow. I don't want that bullshit golden warship anymore,"
When Pan En heard what Tang Lie said, he immediately became anxious: "No, why should we give him what we worked so hard to find?"
Suddenly, Fina's voice came to mind outside the door: "Mr. Tang, Miss, please come over,"
Tang Lie stopped talking to Pan En, opened the door and walked out, only to see Fina standing quietly outside the door. No emotion could be seen from her pretty face. In fact, Fina's mood at the moment But she was far from being so indifferent and calm. Ever since she saw Princess Xuanbo's affectionate behavior towards Tang Lie, Fina had a feeling of shame. Although she was extremely eager to pour out her heart to Tang Lie, her reason reminded her. She had to keep a distance from Tang Lie. This was such a contradictory pain.
When he reached the corner of the stairs, Tang Lie saw no one around and grabbed Fina's delicate hand.
Fina panicked and tried desperately to get away.
Tang Lie whispered: "You haven't said a word to me since I came back. Could it be that after not seeing each other for a few days, all the affection between us has disappeared? Do you still remember what you promised me before leaving? ,"
Fina finally managed to shake off Tang Lie's big hand and said coldly: "Mr. Tang, I don't remember what I promised you."
Tang Lie guessed in his heart that the reason why Fina suddenly distanced himself from him must be because of the appearance of Xuan Bo.
Fina raised her ice-blue beautiful eyes and looked up at Tang Lie and said, "Have you ever thought about how to tell the princess about the emperor?"
Tang Lie shook his head silently. He could not imagine what kind of blow it would be to Xuan Bo if she knew the sad news of her father's sudden death, and whether her weak shoulders could still bear it.
Fina said softly: "Don't keep the princess waiting. She has prepared side dishes in the room for you to enjoy together..." At this point, Fina's eyes turned red, and she couldn't continue talking. She turned her head and wiped them secretly. She shed tears and said: "In all her life, she has never been so kind to anyone else..."
Xuan Bo's smile was as bright as a flower, and he stood in front of the table and waited quietly for Tang Lie's arrival.
Fina brought Tang Lie into the room, and seemed to have completed her task. She said goodbye to Xuan Bo and wanted to leave, but Xuan Bo grabbed her arm and said: "General Fina, the wine and food I prepared are not just In order to entertain Tang Lie, you are also my honored guest,"
Fina couldn't refuse the invitation, so she had no choice but to accept Xuan Bo's invitation and sit down at the table. She looked extremely embarrassed, and Fina secretly reminded herself that she must not let the princess see her affection for Tang Lie.
Xuan Bo personally poured wine for Tang Lie and Fina, and said softly: "If you hadn't sacrificed your lives to save me, Xuan Bo would have been imprisoned in the Crystal Palace for the rest of his life. I use this glass of wine to express my feelings."
Tang Lie smiled and said: "It seems that there is no need to be so polite between us,"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Xuan Bo thought that Tang Lie's words meant something else, and his pretty face turned red unconsciously, and he drank the wine in the cup first.
Fina felt even more sad when she saw the sweet eyes between the two looking at each other. She raised her head and drank the wine in her glass.
Tang Lie looked at the two confidantes beside him, and an unspeakable feeling suddenly came out of his heart. He couldn't really explain what it was like. It was like a thick shadow shrouding his heart, and his consciousness fell. On her waist, she touched the cold scepter. This was the scepter that Emperor Xuan Sizhe entrusted to Xuan Bo before his death. It was the scepter that symbolized the high power of the Xuanwu Empire. If Xuan Bo knew everything, she would If you choose the scepter, you will still choose your feelings.
Xuan Bo said softly: "General Fina, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. If you and Commander Hetel have not been fighting with my father at the border, why did you suddenly come here?"
Fina's hand holding the wine glass trembled, and her beautiful eyes looked at Tang Lie as if asking for help.
Tang Lie laughed and said, "It's not all because of you. You suddenly disappeared from the imperial capital, which shocked the entire government. Naturally, your father will send people to find out." His explanation was reasonable and reasonable, and Xuan Bo did not have the slightest doubt. .
Fina said: "Early tomorrow morning, we will escort the princess to Chuanyun City,"
Xuan Bo looked at Tang Lie and said sweetly: "I will go wherever Tang Lie goes..."
Tang Lie smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I'll be a few days late this time."
"What," the two girls' concern for Tang Lie was beyond words.
Tang Lie said: "Mr. Baqiao and I still have a few important things to do. I will rush over after these things happened last night."
Fina bit her lower lip gently. She naturally understood the deal between Tang Lie and Zhang Baqiao, but she couldn't explain it in front of Xuan Bo.
Xuanbo shook his head vigorously and said: "No, I won't let you go,"
Suddenly, Ya Yi'an's panicked shouting came from outside the door: "Hurry... hurry up... open the door, something bad is going to happen... Something bad is going to happen..."
Tang Lie and the other three looked at each other, stood up at the same time, opened the door, and saw Ya Yi'an rushing in out of breath, panting: "The trouble is big, countless warships are heading towards the Black Barrier Reef." Surrounded, it is estimated that 10% of them were sent by Shui Daiyin, the Queen of the Sea Clan,"
Tang Lie's resolute face showed an extremely complicated expression. He patted Ya Yi'an on the shoulder and said, "Take care of them both for me. I'll go outside and take a look."
"We will go with you," Xuan Bo said, after experiencing the last separation from Tang Lie, he was no longer willing to leave him for even half a step.
Tang Lie hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. Fina called out the Snowy Holy Mastiff, and four people and one mastiff came outside the hotel door.
But in front of the dock of the Black Barrier Reef, a fire broke out into the sky. All ships, large and small, including the New Dragon God, burned, and the entire harbor was completely engulfed in a sea of fire.
The temporary residents of Black Barrier Reef were suddenly thrown into chaos. This sudden disaster caused everyone to suffer huge losses at the same time. However, this disaster is far from over.
Tang Lie heard Paine's painful howl, and seeing his new ship meet such a fate, Paine was so angry that he almost went crazy.
Zhang Baqiao walked slowly to Tang Lie's side, his tawny eyes flashing with uncertainty. He could almost conclude that the disaster on the Black Barrier Reef must have been caused by Tang Lie.
Tang Lie looked like it had nothing to do with him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems there is some trouble."
There was a dull smile on Zhang Baqiao's face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or worried: "Tang Lie, don't tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you,"
Tang Lie laughed and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that they would catch me by the tail after all. However, this does not seem to affect my promise to Mr. Zhang. We should leave this place as soon as possible," Tang Lie estimated that Zhang Baqiao There are still ways to get out of trouble, so say things like this on purpose.
Zhang Baqiao laughed secretly: "It's not us. From now on, you are you and I am me."
Tang Lie said in astonishment: "Mr. Zhang doesn't want the golden warship anymore."
Zhang Baqiao sneered: "The golden warship is important, but life is even more important. Do you think you can resist the attacks of the four sages of the Sea Tribe?"
