After lunch, the sun gradually emerged from behind the clouds. Everyone took the boat to the grove, and even the old man Mu Chi came to join in the fun.
Duan Yao stood in front of the formation, slightly nervous, not because he was afraid of anything else, but felt that if it didn't work, in front of so many people, it would be a bit... humiliating.
"Don't be afraid." Chu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "If you're not sure, don't force it, just try it."
"Yeah." Duan Yao nodded, still better sister-in-law!
Chu Yuan smiled and stepped back to make way for him. Xianweng turned his head to Nan Moxie and whispered, "This emperor looks good."
"That's not it, the person that my apprentice likes." Nan Moxie held his hands and showed off, "In the future, I will be parading in the Wangcheng in a soft sedan chair." You, a native of the desert island, can't be envious.
Xianweng snorted and continued to watch the fun with his little grandson.
Although the formation can be big or small, the method of breaking the formation is the same. The old man Mu Chi stood at a high place to observe carefully. It was indeed different from the Eight Desolate Formation, but he couldn't say that it was different. It wasn't until Duan Yao drew his sword out of the sheath and attacked Shen Qianfeng, disrupting the formation a bit, that he discovered a bit of a mystery.
The Shen family's Qinggong is number one in the world. Yueluo looked at her from a distance, and before she could envy her, a long knife was already in front of her, and she panicked. Fortunately, Duan Yao just faltered and avoided her, and then went with Duan Yao. Bai Yue fought together.
what the hell! Yueluo glanced at the dagger she had not yet had time to pull out, and stomped her feet angrily. Sure enough, of all the men in the world, it was Brother Ah Chen who treated her the best.
"Take it easy." Duan Baiyue held Duan Yao's wrist, "Be careful of getting hurt."
"Besides you, who else will hurt me." Duan Yao tossed in the air, passing his brother to attack the next place.
Duan Baiyue fell to the ground, crying and laughing, dead kid.
"It looks like it's softer than the Eight Desolate Formation." Chu Yuan said, "It's not as fierce as when he was in the palace."
"Because there is another formation in it, it is naturally different from the day." The old man Mu Chi said, "Although it looks simple, but if you don't know the mystery, this formation is a combination of hardness and softness, and it will only be better than the eight. Desolate formations are even more difficult to deal with.”
A Li turned around and kicked on the tree, his sword drawn from its sheath. Duan Yao waved out a cold light, knocking down the weapon in her hand. Before everyone could see what was going on, the Cloud Splitting Sabre had already touched Qu Yunzhi's chest.
A Li fell to the ground and said speechlessly, "You shouldn't be here."
"The array is broken, I'll be fine if I'm idle there." Qu Yunzhi smiled and hugged her.
"If you win A Li, the formation gate will be destroyed." Chu Yuan stepped forward, "But when it comes to the real battle, it will definitely not be so simple."
"How is it?" Duan Baiyue asked Duan Yao.
"It is indeed the Eight Desolate Array plus the Burning Star Bureau." Duan Yao inserted the Cloud Splitting Knife back, "According to the current location of the islands and reefs along the border of Emerald Myanmar, it should be possible to infer the locations of the islands in the central area, and The final position of the gate will take about ten days."
"It's been hard work." Chu Yuan said, "That's the end of the battle. Let's go back and rest for a while, and then go to the front hall to discuss matters after half an hour."
Everyone agreed to leave, Nan Moxie and the old man Mu Chi surrounded Duan Yao, one wiped sweat and the other gave sugar, and walked back happily. Chu Yuan glanced at the people around him: "You seem to be falling out of favor."
"You can spoil me." Duan Baiyue held his hand in the palm of his hand, "Let's go, you can go back and rest for a while, I'm afraid I'll be busy until late at night today."
"Is there any movement on the other side of Chaoya?" Chu Yuan asked.
"I was just going to tell you that Senior Yun sent a letter." Duan Baiyue said, "The Yun Family Army in the East China Sea has been secretly scattered everywhere, as long as there is movement in Chaoya, they will be wiped out. The Battle of the South China Sea is over, and the other party hasn't moved yet, so it's up to you to decide."
"Chaoya naturally has to be taken back." Chu Yuan thought about it and said, "Actually, I want to give that island to Senior Yun."
"Why?" Duan Baiyue was puzzled. "That is the place where Chaoya's ancestors chose to do ascetic cultivation. It is very desolate. If you want to bring it as a gift, it would be too shabby."
"It looks like I'm going to be a queen." Chu Yuan poked his chest with his hand, "Look further away."
Duan Baiyue said calmly: "The queen only cares about the bed, not the government."
"Come again." Chu Yuan laughed, holding his hand and swaying back, "Although Chaoya is a deserted island, the location is not bad. In the future, in addition to the South Ocean, the business road of Da Chu will definitely go to the East China Sea. At that time, Tide Cliff and the surrounding islands would become an important trade route, and that would bring in gold every day."
Duan Baiyue said: "Oh." So it was.
"But Senior Yun may not look down on this." Chu Yuan sighed, "I know the truth of what the royal father did wrong back then, but I can only keep making mistakes for the sake of the royal face. Even so, the seniors are still willing to help. With such a kind of mind, others can only look up."
"Who said that seniors don't look down on gold and silver money." Duan Baiyue said, "Saints also need to eat, the number of Yun's army is not small, and there is a large island of men, women and children to support, and there is nothing wrong with multiple ways of making money. Well, if you want to give it, I will write to say. This is just right, the senior is fighting for himself, maybe he can be more comfortable, so as not to have to wait for your orders. "
"Do you think this is feasible?" Chu Yuan curled his lips, "I've been thinking about it for many days, but if senior doesn't want it, we'll be very embarrassed."
Duan Baiyue said with a smile: "The first time I saw someone who was worried about sending money, don't worry, just leave it to me."
Chu Yuan nodded, feeling a lot more at ease in his heart. The two returned to their residence for a cup of tea, and Sixi came over to pass the news, saying that everyone had already arrived in the front hall and were waiting for the emperor and the prince.
"Where's Miaoxin?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Master Miaoxin didn't come." Sixi said, "I heard that since the competition with Master Nan, he has been behind closed doors, as if he was sitting in meditation and chanting sutras."
"Do you want me to take a look?" Duan Baiyue asked Chu Yuan.
"You?" Chu Yuan helped him tidy up his clothes, "If you have nothing to do, you have to make trouble."
Duan Baiyue hummed, "Are you going?"
"What am I going to do, monk sitting in meditation, isn't it a matter of course." Chu Yuan squeezed his face with both hands, "What are you laughing at!"
"I admit it, you regret pulling him aboard, eh?" Duan Baiyue approached and touched the tip of his nose.
Chu Yuan said: "Four joys."
"Okay, I was wrong." Duan Baiyue couldn't hide her ears, bowed her head and kissed him, "Go, let's go to the front hall."
Chu Yuan wiped his mouth and turned to go out.
Duan Baiyue shook his head with a smile and followed behind. Ye Jin thought it was hot in the room and was blowing the wind outside when he saw his brother approaching from a distance, his neck and ears were all red, and he entered the cabin without looking sideways.
…
Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows.
"You!" Ye Jin was angry.
"What happened to me?" Duan Baiyue asked knowingly.
Ye Jin thought about his words and said, "You thief."
Chu Yuan couldn't bear it any longer: "Come in for me!"
Everyone inside was very calm, didn't hear anything, nibbled melon seeds, nibbled melon seeds.
With the ebb tide beads in hand, as long as it is sunny on the fifteenth day of the next month, after breaking into the formation, you can first flood the formation gate with flood water, and then wave your troops to attack in one fell swoop. Without the interference of witchcraft fog and huge waves, the army in Emerald-Myanmar collided with the Chu army and was almost powerless to resist.
"With the moon falling in the mirror, it is not difficult to predict the weather in advance." Duan Baiyue said, "If God is willing to help, this battle will be won without suspense."
"Who is going to divert the water to break the formation?" Ye Jin asked.
Duan Yao said: "I'll go. Senior Xuantian once said back then that studying the Star Burning Bureau depends on fate. If you don't have the chance to learn it, you will be easily attacked by the devilish nature. I will go to break the formation, and the rest will lead the army to disperse at various exits. Guard, lest Chu Xiang, Liu Jinde and others escape."
Duan Baiyue said: "I will go with you."
Chu Yuan frowned slightly.
Nan Moxie hurriedly said, "I'll go with Yao'er."
Duan Yao said: "I alone is enough."
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter." Duan Baiyue spread out a map on the table, "When Yaoer draws a map of the formation, he will know how many exits there are. At that time, the people in this room will split up and lead the army to block them. I don't know if it's enough or not, there's no need to rush to the gate."
Everyone glanced at Chu Yuan and saw that he seemed to have no objection, so they agreed and continued to discuss other matters. It was not until Sixi came in to light the lamp that he realized that three hours had passed, and it was almost dark outside.
"Let's all go eat something." Chu Yuan said, "There is no large dining room on this ship, and the deck is dark, so everyone who has worked hard has to find their own place."
Wen Liunian's stomach growled, Zhao Yue took his hand and went out to catch fish, and when he walked to a place where no one was there, he asked: "Today, Senior Nan said that he would go with Yao'er, which is actually quite reasonable. The lord was injured a while ago. The emperor didn't see any objection this time, and he should keep people by his side."
"I don't know." Wen Liunian shook his head.
Zhao Yue said unexpectedly, "Is there anything else you don't know?"
"I really don't know." Wen Liunian scratched his face, "But I hesitated when I looked at the emperor's eyes today. Maybe it was because there were too many people on the spot. If you want to know the reason, I will ask around in the future. ." This time I went to catch fish to eat, I was really hungry and didn't really want to talk.
Duan Baiyue handed him the steamed bun: "Sweet, eat and see."
"Is there something wrong with Master Nan?" Chu Yuan said, "Today you refuted him. According to his old temper, he will definitely argue with you."
"Master has been awake for a long time this time." Duan Baiyue said, "I used to be in the Southwest House, and it would be good to have an ice room to meditate, but this time I was drifting on the sea, and I was looking for the ebb tide beads, and finally I had to fight. , I don't have time to adjust the internal breath, I am afraid that he may close his eyes and fall asleep at any time."
"Is there any danger?" Chu Yuan frowned.
"It's not dangerous, but I don't know how many years I will sleep." Duan Baiyue said, "When I competed with me yesterday, I was already a little tired. I don't dare to let him go alone at this time, and he should be retired according to his age. , it's good to eat and drink on the boat."
"No wonder." Chu Yuan understood and said, "Senior, you can let him rest, don't get tired anymore."
Duan Baiyue said: "Okay."
"It's you." Chu Yuan reached out and dragged his cheek, "I don't want you to go."
"If there is no Yaoer, it's okay to let others go, I have to go." Duan Baiyue smiled, "But that kid is my own younger brother, and it's not justifiable to leave it to others to protect it, and secondly, even if it is the Shen alliance leader. I'm not at ease if I go with you, I have to watch it myself to be safe, understand?"
Chu Yuan nodded: "Yes."
"Worry more now, I don't care when he gets a wife." Duan Baiyue sat beside him, "Don't worry too much, although my life is a little more difficult, but Yao'er's life is good. Ah, the day he was born, all the insects in the Southwest Mansion were crawling around like crazy, and the poisonous snake hung on the beam."
Chu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of life is this called?"
"I'll say yes." Duan Baiyue gave him a cold dish with chopsticks, "Iced it, eat more to get rid of the heat."
"It's Xiao Jin's juice again, right?" Chu Yuan frowned, "It smells like medicine."
"You can't eat fresh green vegetables in this sea, you can only rely on this, otherwise you will get sick." Duan Baiyue said, "That is a genius doctor, you have to listen to what you say." After that, he added, "Listen to it."
"I chose to castrate you." Chu Yuan stretched out a finger and pushed him back, "Stop making trouble, eat!"
Looking at his sweetheart, the steamed buns and cold dishes were also delicious. Duan Baiyue swept the food in a few mouthfuls, then drank the rest of his porridge, and instructed Sixi to remove the plate and exchange for hot tea. Chu Yuan stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "I'm afraid you are the most delicious queen of all time."
Duan Baiyue spit out all the tea in one mouthful.
Chu Yuan couldn't help laughing, and supported his head with one hand: "It's okay, I can afford it."
Ten days can be long or short. After Duan Yao drew up the map, he checked it several times, and only presented it to Chu Yuan until it was confirmed that there were no mistakes.
"This is the location of the gate." Duan Yao pointed to an island circled by cinnabar on the map, "It should also be the largest piece of land in this island and reef. If there are no ebb beads, it should be difficult to destroy. But it's much easier to draw big waves."
"This location distribution is a bit familiar." Duan Baiyue touched her chin and said thoughtfully, "Do you remember the deputy commander I captured from the enemy camp when the two armies first confronted? "
Chu Yuan nodded: "Of course, I handed it over to you for trial, but he died within two days."
"If Gu is planted in the body, if there is no antidote, it will die." Duan Baiyue said, "He didn't say much useful things, he could only vaguely draw the location of his usual island and the surrounding islands. It's very similar to this picture."
"So?" Chu Yuan asked.
"This island is also the island where Liu Jinde lives." Duan Baiyue said.
"He?" Chu Yuan frowned.
"It's just right now." Duan Baiyue said, "kill it all at once."
"If it's a deserted island, I wouldn't worry about it, but if Liu Jinde lives on it, it must be heavily guarded on weekdays." Chu Yuan shook his head.
"You won't let me go, will you?" Duan Baiyue held his shoulders.
"With Yao'er here, I know you must go." Chu Yuan counted the locations of the exits on the map, "Sikong, let's go too."
Duan Baiyue said: "Okay."
"I think you are going to shirk again." Chu Yuan looked up at him, "I didn't expect it to be quite refreshing."
"Bring a few more people, and you can feel more at ease." Duan Baiyue smiled, "I promised you, just rest assured in the future, eh?"
Chu Yuan held his hand: "Okay."
The whole army will fight on the eighth day of next month. Taking advantage of this time, Xue Huaiyue redeployed the entire army. In addition to the main force, another team was divided. Shen Qianfeng took A Chen and Yueluo to guard the south exit, and A Li and Qu Yunzhi guarded the north. Zhao Yue was on the west side, Zhuo Yunhe was on the east side, and Xianweng and Nan Moxie were on the side of Chu Yuan and were not allowed to go anywhere.
Xian Weng said: "You dead old man, I can't go to see my son and daughter-in-law because of it."
Nanmo evilly said: "Bah."
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Chu Yuan patrolled the entire army, and it was late at night when he returned. Duan Baiyue had just finished talking to Nan Moxie, and ran into the cabin in the light of the rain: "I know you haven't slept."
"How is Master Nan?" Chu Yuan took a dry handkerchief and wiped it for him, "I wanted to go, but it was late because I was afraid that the seniors had already rested, so I didn't bother."
"He's fine, but he's so angry, he insists that he's fine." Duan Baiyue said, "Finally, Yaoer blocked his mouth and covered the quilt before it stopped."
Chu Yuan smiled and said, "It's fine, I'll take Xiao Jin to see him tomorrow."
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "Master would not want to see the doctor."
Chu Yuan said: "With Xiao Jin here, are you still afraid that no one will be able to defeat the seniors?"
Duan Baiyue thought for a while and said, "Yes."
"But apart from senior, I'm still worried about this rain." Chu Yuan said, "It was sunny a few days ago, but it started to rain today, don't still rain five days later, when the ebb and flow beads are destroyed when the formation gate is destroyed It's useless."
"There was a tide a few days before the moon fell, but now it's dry." Duan Baiyue said, "According to the experience accumulated before, it will only rain for two days at most, and it will definitely clear up on the ninth and tenth days of the first lunar month. , what are you panicking about?"
Chu Yuan said: "I naturally know the truth."
"But you just don't know what to do?" Duan Baiyue smiled and pulled him to sit at the table, "It's okay to be in front of me, but don't show it to others."
Chu Yuan looked at him and said, "Say auspicious words to get lucky."
Duan Baiyue said: "Gong Xi Fa Cai."
Chu Yuan: "Pfft."
"Does it look like you? The big starling in the Southwest House." Duan Baiyue smiled, "The old accountant was raised by the old king, and he is a financial fan like him. Another sentence is that I'm here to receive monthly money again, and my tone is still unwilling."
Chu Yuan was lying on the table, reaching out and tugging at the collar of his clothes.
"Take you to rest?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan said: "I don't want to sleep."
"Then you plan to sit for one night?" Duan Baiyue asked. "Everything in the army has been checked, and there is nothing to worry about. Why don't you want to sleep."
"Who said there is nothing to worry about, there is one more thing, but I have no idea in my heart." Chu Yuan said, "The bizarre poisonous rain that day, Sikong later said that it was Qian Chuanzi, but after so long, it is still the same. No one has figured out how to knock down the group of bugs flying high."
"Senior Mu Chi has already built a batch of high platforms. I tried it with someone and I can jump quite high." Duan Baiyue said, "Although it's not very convenient, but if you really encounter those bizarre flying insects, you will Only rely on this to fight, and you can't stop fighting because you are afraid of bugs."
"I wrote a letter before and asked Xiao Jin to send it to Senior Ghost Hand to see if he could come up with any solution." Chu Yuan sighed, "But I didn't receive a reply."
"A master from outside the world, you should not care about your business." Duan Baiyue took him into his arms. "The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil. With me here, don't be afraid, eh?"
Chu Yuan nodded: "Okay."
"Then go to rest?" Duan Baiyue raised his hand, "Tonight I promise to be honest and not touch you with a finger."
Chu Yuan glanced at him and raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
Four Xi brought hot water. After the two of them washed up, Chu Yuan climbed onto the bed wrapped in his underwear and hooked his fingers at him.
Duan Baiyue said alertly: "Hey!"
"What are you afraid of?" Chu Yuan said, "Come here and press your shoulders for you."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"I can still eat you." Chu Yuan pulled him down on the bed and straddled it himself.
Duan Baiyue said: "Is it too late to take back what I just said?"
"No." Chu Yuan said, "It's you who is bullying."
Duan Baiyue sighed in the sky.
Although Chu Yuan has never massaged anyone, people who practice martial arts naturally know where to loosen their bones. After pressing for a while, Duan Baiyue felt quite comfortable, so she said happily, "I still think you are going to make trouble."
Chu Yuan was amused, and wiped the medicated oil on his hands clean: "I'm kidding you, you've been tired these two days. There's a war tomorrow, so why am I teasing you?"
Duan Baiyue rolled over and pressed him: "Kiss one."
Chu Yuan patted him away with a pillow, turned around, and went to sleep.
The red candle on the bow danced and was blown out by the wind within a few days. Duan Baiyue hugged him from behind, bowed his head and kissed him, and fell asleep. In my dream, I was still thinking about the Southwest Mansion. If the red satin is not enough, should I continue to buy it
The next morning, the horn rang out in the sky. Chu Yuan, wearing a bright yellow shirt, looked at the thousands of soldiers below from a high place, waved his hand and ordered: "Go to battle!"
The soldiers shouted loudly, and when the warship moved, a huge white wave broke out, splitting the sea in half.
Yueluo looked at Chu Yuan and Duan Baiyue in the high places, and said, "The emperor and the prince are really good match. I believe it. They really want to get married in the future."
Ah Chen smiled and said, "I still wanted to let the elder sister in the stockade marry the emperor and the prince, but now you give up?"
"The emperor is good-looking." Yueluo said, "The people on this boat are all good-looking. I heard that there is a son in Shu who is very good-looking. You can take me to see it in the future."
"Shen Gongzi is a big living person, and he is not a flower or a flower. How can you go to the middle of Shu to watch it." A Chen said, "But the emperor and the prince are married, and if you want to come to the Shadow Palace, you will come here. I can see you."
"Really." Yueluo peeled the peanuts in her hand and fed him one by one, "The world outside is really interesting, it would be great if grandpa, auntie, and brother Agan were willing to come out. "
Ah Chen sighed and said nothing.
"Do you think they are still angry with us?" Yue Luo asked cautiously.
"I don't know." Ah Chen said, "Yes, but it doesn't matter. I'll make amends in the future."
"But you wrote such a long letter." Yue Luo gestured, "It's almost a foot long. If I see it, not only will I not be angry, but maybe I will come to help."
"Stop talking about that." Ah Chen stood up from the deck, "You can't lose this battle, don't be careless, stay by my side, do you know?"
Yueluo nodded, fed her the last handful of peanuts, patted her clothes and went to find Xue Huaiyue.
