According to the speed they were traveling at, it would take at least half the Earth's day to walk to the Pang family's mansion.
After walking for a while, everyone unanimously decided to eat something first and then go by boat. The reason why they did not continue to take the carriage was because the people here were not as disciplined as in Tianyong City. Wukong was more likely to bump into people, and walking by land required
Taking a detour will also delay a lot of time.
In the Tianxiang Pavilion, five women and two men sat around a round table by the window on the second floor.
Pang Buzuo, who was holding the menu, specially handed it to Liu Xiao and asked him to choose first.
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, Liu Xiao only ordered the only one he knew, Steamed Silly, which was wrong. This restaurant was an upgraded version, called Steamed Three Silly.
Bu Zhuo smiled, called the waiter over, and ordered a bunch more.
Rich families are so arrogant that they never look at the price when ordering food.
As a servant, the coachman was not qualified to sit at the table, but Jiang Shuhan made an exception and sat at the table.
It could be seen that she was a little cautious, she didn't know where to put her hands, and kept her head slightly lowered.
After a while, the waiter brought out large scallops one after another.
The scallops have unique shapes, different colors, and surprisingly large sizes. However, what surprised Liu Xiao the most was the fragrance that came out after the waiter opened the top shell of the scallops, and the amount of food inside.
Dishes.
The process of eating is completely a kind of enjoyment.
It may not be a deep experience for other people, but for Liu Xiao, the sense of satisfaction from the release of dopamine makes him want to stop.
Steamed three fools, it turns out that three kinds of fish are cooked in a steaming way, and Daibao is just one of them. The other two are called Lengzi and Tietou.
According to Pang Ruhua, Lunzi floats on the water and sleeps, and catches it basically by picking it up, while Tietou likes to hit boats on the water hard until he is knocked unconscious.
These two, together with Daibao, are commonly known as the Three Idiots.
It sounds like it's on par with the Three Idiots on Sleigh.
Foolishly enough, these three kinds of fish taste really good. The meat is delicious and tender, with almost no thorns. In addition, it is cooked very delicious. It can be said to be an extremely delicious dish.
During the dinner, except for answering questions from Liu Xiao and Yu Wenyi, the four ladies of the Pang family hardly spoke. It was probably because of the rules within the family that they had formed a habit.
Halfway through the meal, a somewhat wealthy middle-aged man came over with the waiter.
First he apologized for disturbing the guests, and then explained his identity as the shopkeeper of this Tianxiang restaurant.
The purpose of coming here is to ask Liu Xiao if they are coming from Tianyong City.
After receiving a positive reply, the shopkeeper generously offered a 50% discount on the dishes, hoping to learn more about the situation at Tianyong.
Naturally, the four ladies of the Pang family didn't care about discounts, so they sent the shopkeeper away directly and asked him to talk to the coachman downstairs.
Liu Xiao just watched and did not participate.
From the moment he sat down until now, he has noticed many times that there are several pairs of eyes peeking at him from some corners.
But no matter what method I use, I can't find the source of these gazes.
He could probably guess who the other party was. Since he was targeted by Jiang Ci, Chengtian's people would never let him go easily.
It seems that the previous threat was not taken seriously at all.
After having had enough wine and food, a group of people left Tianxiang Restaurant. The shopkeeper and the waiter respectfully sent them out of the store.
On the beach outside the door, there was already a pleasure boat waiting for a long time. According to the coachman, this boat was specially called by the shopkeeper.
After getting on the boat, Liu Xiao found that there was only one boatman on the boat, and he was sitting on the bow, holding an iron chain in his hand.
Out of curiosity, I stepped forward to take a look.
Got it, go back to the boat cabin and find a seat to sit down.
After everyone was seated, the boatman suddenly pulled the iron rope in his hand.
The entire pleasure boat also accelerated, getting faster and faster, and the street scene on one side quickly retreated.
Liu Xiao held his chin and looked at the sea quietly. Suddenly he saw a white line in the water, and then with a bang, he looked behind him and saw a big white fish floating up with his belly puffed out.
Okay, sure enough, I'm very stubborn.
The boat is extremely fast. It has no propellers, no human power, and no sails. Its only power is a big fish tied to the other end of the iron rope. In fact, the principle is the same as that of a horse-drawn carriage, except that one is on land and the other is on the road.
in sea water.
Put your hand into the water, open your palm against the water, and feel the soothing and soft touch.
In fact, according to the current speed and the fierceness of the water flow, it should never be so smooth. However, for a void, any elemental power acting on him will become gentle and gentle.
In the distance, you can see cities close to the water.
It is unimaginable that these buildings have no foundation at all and are just piled on the lotus leaves.
It is enough to show how calm the gurgling sea is, and how huge the Yuanzhilian is that supports thirty cities on the sea.
The gaze that peeps at him still exists, coming and going, and coming from a different direction every time.
Are there many people?
Liu Xiao didn't think so. The other party should have used some kind of skill and was not observing directly through the main body's sight.
This feeling of being peeped on is indeed uncomfortable, but so far, Liu Xiao has no way to deal with the other party.
Just wait, there will always be a moment.
A ray of his thoughts was on Wu Tong, lazily lying on Xi Yue's lap.
Quietly listening to the information Feng Chen got, at least half of it was about the human race and the Kunlun clan.
Xi Yue naturally knew that Liu Xiao's consciousness was always there, because the little guy was somewhat resistant to her caressing, but she just liked this feeling and let this disaster suffer.
After listening for a long time, I summarized it and it can be divided into several dimensions.
The first is in Tianyong City. As the core area of the war, the information in this area is the least. This is understandable. With the existence of the Burning Sky Wheel and the state of extreme chaos, the news cannot be conveyed at all. The latest
A piece of information came from the market outside the city, and the content was very simple. The Chengtian Army had surrounded all the gates of Tianyong, but had not launched an siege.
Secondly, there is news from Qilu City. The Chengtian Army did not secretly build a free door in Tianyong Market, but used passages through multiple third-party areas to escape. This time it is tantamount to exposing the secret doors.
, In addition, the Chengtian Army launched a large-scale attack on Tianyong, and the area under their control was empty of defenses. Some tribes that had just captured the city by them were already ready to move.
Then came the human order. Two garrison regiments suddenly appeared near Tianyong and Qilu City. Of course, this neighborhood is actually very far away. However, in the Zamai City-state, which is the closest to the two Kunlun cities, there have been no other changes so far.
, their intentions are not yet certain.
Finally, there were three pieces of news that attracted Liu Xiao's special attention. One was that the cavalry army from the Centaur tribe was advancing southward. The other piece was from the Terran Qinglong City. There was a Human Holy See in Qinglong.
The city appeared briefly, and the place it appeared was Yunyou Terrace, which was a place where free gates gathered in Qinglong City.
This last one is about Lingyuan Tower. According to intelligence feedback, Lingyuan Tower sent more than ten seal masters to Qilu City. This intelligence is very specific and directly points out that these seal masters are going to destroy the free gate of Qilu City.
.
"It seems that plotting against Jiang Ci is just a hook."
After the others left, Xi Yue spoke leisurely.
"It's just a conspiracy, it has no technical content."
Wu Tong pushed Xi Yue's hand away with his little paw and said impatiently.
"Indeed, but it has been planned for a long time, and the cost of doing so is the minimum, no matter whether it is successful or not."
Xi Yue pinched Wukong's paw with two fingers and shook it in a playful way.
"Human nature is fragile and cannot withstand the test," Liu Xiao coughed twice and refused to give up when he saw Xi Yue, "What do you want to do?"
"Get used to it. Who asked you to give me such a cute little guy?"
Xi Yue looked innocent and said with a smile, "Let's get down to business. Now a lot of people want to buy this information, especially the truth about the Five Grain Gate. There are even people in the Land Abandoned by God who want to know. You said, I am selling it.
?Or sell it?”
"You've already said that, why are you asking me? Wouldn't it be nice to let more people know?"
"After all, you told me. I always respect your opinion."
Xi Yue took advantage of Liu Xiao not paying attention and started stroking Wu Tong's fur again, "However, don't expect that the news of Jiang Ci being framed will spread. Those people will only let these things rot in their stomachs."
"Understood." Liu Xiao sneered and continued, "Are there any results for the two things I asked you?"
"Of course," Xi Yue went too far and pinched Wu Tong's face with her hand, "Jiang Ci has a flying sword named Dian Cang. Anyone injured by that sword is equivalent to being marked.
It can be found through a certain medium, and there is no scope limit. As for the method of cracking it, we still have information for the time being, so we need to wait. In addition, the information you can find about the Yuan Zhilian you mentioned is similar to what you told me.
The fruit is extremely high quality Yuan Cui, which is the essence of elements. The rhizomes can be used to refine potions that enhance energy levels. As for the lotus leaves you mentioned, I haven’t heard of them having any effect.”
Wu Tong nodded his head, key information was missing, but at least it was not hopeless.
"This Yuanzhilian is not simple," Xi Yue continued, "It is a spiritual plant from the land abandoned by the gods. It is not so much that it suppresses the water of Ordnance, it is better to say that it only has the source of water.
Only by using the core can it grow. The result is the same, but the purpose is exactly the opposite of what you said."
"You mean that the legend about Kunlun, the ancestor of mankind, is wrong. He actually didn't want to calm the gurgling sea, but wanted to cultivate this big lotus with the help of water source nuclei?"
Liu Xiao couldn't quite understand.
"Yes, this is a secret that I used my power to find out from the Land Abandoned by the Gods. This spiritual plant is not called Yuanzhi. Its real name is..."
