Outside the floating land, small islands float in the void. It is said to be floating islands, but most of them are just larger rocks, unable to form their own protective layer, and can only withstand the erosion of various dangers in the void.
Floating islands like this can be found everywhere between land masses. Only those floating islands that are large enough and have a protective layer are valuable enough for ordinary people to survive. But such floating islands are few and far between, and most of them are worthless rocks.
The movement of the floating island is irregular, and the environment is extremely harsh, even the god generals can't survive on it for long. And their movement will pose a great threat to the airship, just like a hidden reef in the void. Therefore, when Yong Ye and the Empire are engaged in a fleet decisive battle in the void, they will also avoid the densely populated areas of floating islands.
Above the floating land, there is a floating island moving slowly. Its radius is only a few hundred meters, so it is naturally impossible to form a protective layer. But if you stand on the floating island, you can see the whole floating land in your eyes.
At this moment, on this floating island, which can be called the restricted area of life, two people are sitting upright and playing chess.
There is a table between the two of them, and a red clay teapot is placed on the table, and a fire is burning under the pot out of thin air, and the water is heating up. There is a chessboard on the desk, with black and white criss-crossing, the smoke is silent, and they are fighting to a critical moment.
At the two ends of the desk, there is a man with dignified appearance and firmness. He is the King of Qingyang, Zhang Boqian. At the other end of the chess table, sat an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. His every move was indistinctly in line with the Dao of Heaven and Earth. He was the number one strongest man in the empire at the moment, Zhiji King.
Zhiji Wang looked indifferent, and was waiting for Zhang Boqian to give birth. At this moment, King Qingyang frowned and thought hard, making no effort to hide that he was at a disadvantage, and his happiness and anger were all on the outside.
King Zhiji picked up the teacup lightly, drank the full hot tea in one gulp, and sighed: "It's really good tea!"
After drinking a cup, the King of Fingers was still unsatisfied, and stretched out his hand to take the cup in front of Zhang Boqian. He stretched out his hand and said: "Boqian, you are good at crossing the void, and there is still a chance to get this kind of tea. But I am old, and I can't compare with you, toss Don’t move anymore. Just let me have this cup?”
Zhang Boqian's eyes were still fixed on the chessboard, his whole body was motionless, a sunspot had been shot at Zhiji King's hand, forcing him to take it back. Heizi was lost, and was about to hit the teacup, but he circled out of thin air and flew back to Zhang Boqian's hand automatically. The exquisiteness of the transport power is really indescribable.
This is not an exchange between ordinary strong men, who can still have spare strength in the face of the Zhiji King, even if the Zhiji King has not done his best, how many people can there be in this world
Zhiji Wang lost half a move, but he was not angry, he just said "stingy", and began to enjoy the scenery of Fulu leisurely, and said with a smile: "This game is over, you still have to lose to me for this cup of tea."
"Then we'll wait until the end." Zhang Boqian's voice was steady.
At this time, a floating ship appeared in the distance, looming, and coming straight towards the floating island at an extremely fast speed.
Zhang Boqian sat in meditation, as if he hadn't seen the floating ship. Zhiji Wang suddenly concentrated on controlling the heat of the teapot, also not looking outside.
The airship hovered next to the floating island, and several figures flew out from it. The leader was a tall, middle-aged man with a vague resemblance to the Finger King. He waved his hand to stop the others, strode to the side of the chess board, bowed and saluted, and said, "Grandpa."
King Zhiji raised his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "How many times have I said, you can just call me the prince, or you can just call me by my real name. You have a noble family, and I can't afford to be an old man."
The middle-aged man was embarrassed, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare, so he could only ambiguously say, "Tianqing sent the news back. This matter is very important, I dare not specialize in it, I need to ask you Take a look."
Hearing the word Tianqing, the shadow on Zhiji Wang's face was swept away, and said: "Take a look."
The middle-aged man hurriedly delivered a letter, and then stepped back to stand still.
King Zhiji opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, handed the letter paper to Zhang Boqian, and said, "This is indeed an accident, what do you think?"
Zhang Boqian finally regained his senses from the chess game, took a look at the letter paper, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "If you really believe what you said, then this year's Great Vortex Passage in the Neutral Land will be gentler than before. Then there is the situation of narrow escapes. If this channel can be opened up, then the empire will not have to be trapped by the allocated quota. This is a thousand-year achievement."
King Zhiji sighed softly, shook his head and said, "When I was young, I went to the neutral place, and I knew it was dangerous. Although this passage has always existed, it can be described as more than a narrow escape. If it were you and me, maybe you could still walk. Even if it's mild now, it's not something these kids can get in unless..."
Speaking of this, King Zhiji suddenly kept silent, and just sighed softly.
Everyone knows that referring to the Extreme King may have something to hide, so no one will be so ignorant, and must point to the Extreme King to speak out.
After pondering for a long time, he pointed to Wang Fang and asked: "Bo Qian, you are the commander in chief of the army, how should you decide this matter?"
Zhang Boqian said calmly: "The commander in chief of the army is a thing of the past. Since it is difficult to make a conclusion on this matter, it may as well wait until we can see clearly before making a decision. It should not be too late."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and let go of a sunspot. This piece seems to be a lone chess piece, but also seems to be idle, falling in an open place, but it faintly echoes the general trend.
The King of Fingers stroked his beard and praised: "Good chess!"
He waved to the middle-aged man and said, "I already know about this, you guys go back."
The middle-aged man hesitated to speak, turned and left.
Waiting for the airship to fly away, he pointed to the king and said: "Speaking of the neutral land, there is an interesting piece of news, which seems to have something to do with you. You might as well take a look."
After all, a seal suddenly appeared in King Zhiji's hand, and it was one of the three seals that Song Zining sent back to the empire.
Song Zining spent a lot of money to send the news that day, but only one of the three envelopes arrived. The recipient does not doubt that it is there. Originally, this kind of transmission is very unstable, and it is just to be on the safe side to send three at a time. It would be lucky to have one delivered. It's just that no one thought that one of the two disappearing envelopes was actually intercepted by the king of Qi with the means of reaching the sky.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Boqian had no expression on his face, turned his left hand over, and there was also an identical sealing tube in his hand.
King Zhiji clapped his palms and said with a smile: "As expected of Qingyang! Now you are not far behind the ancestors of the Zhang family."
Zhang Boqian shook his head and said: "Our ancestors reached the pinnacle of martial arts, when will I be able to catch up?"
Zhiji Wang didn't argue with him, he pointed at the two seals and said, "How do you deal with it?"
Zhang Boqian raised his hand and waved lightly, the two unopened sealed tubes and the contents inside all disappeared and turned into fly ash. As for the contents of the envelope, he didn't even glance at it.
Zhiji Wang said: "That's fine, none of those people can count on you."
"It's not time to turn their faces, so I won't give them a chance." Zhang Boqian's eyes flashed coldly, and he said, "Otherwise, if someone plots against me secretly, if you don't give them some color, don't you think that I, Zhang Boqian, are afraid of them? ?”
King Zhiji nodded, and said, "That's true. In my opinion, Xitang is the most suitable to deal with the matter of the maelstrom channel. What do you think?"
"Is he busy?" Zhang Boqian said with sarcasm, as if he meant something else.
King Zhiji pondered and said: "Besides him, there is no one else. After all, Zhao Jundu is still young and cannot bear this burden. As for Song Zining, let alone. Well, but Zining is getting more and more daring Now, he needs to be punished."
Zhang Boqian said calmly: "From the day he left my tent, he is no longer my person."
"That's how it is." The King Zhiji picked up three white stones, rubbed them in his palm for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, the three white stones shot into the void, causing ripples, and then flew away.
At this moment in Nanqing City, Song Zining was full of sleep, and after washing up, he felt refreshed and in good condition.
He was not in a hurry to eat, but stood in front of the case, lined up several jade sticks, and then placed the folding fan on the corner of the table, locking it to the southwest. At this moment, the empire is to the southwest.
After the preparation was completed, he reached out to pick up the jade stick, ready to deduce the secret. In the past few days, Song Zining has made several important arrangements in succession, and by now all parties should have responded. These facts mattered a great deal, so Song Zining wanted to get a glimpse of the secret, knowing that it was difficult to deduce it, and there was even a risk of backlash.
The use of jade sticks is also particular. The Li family's way of deriving the secrets of heaven is the best at using jade, and stealing the heavenly jade box, which is a family heirloom, has the reputation of "the eye on behalf of the sky". This time Song Zining used jade, which he was not very good at, to deduce the secret of heaven, just to increase the probability and get a glimpse of Empress Li's arrangement.
Song Zining finished praying silently, and after his mind was running smoothly, his whim came as expected.
Countless deduction of secrets made him very familiar with this feeling. Although today was exceptionally smooth, which was unbelievably smooth, Song Zining still instinctively threw out a jade stick.
The moment the jade sticks were handed out, each piece had a reaction to a certain mysterious force in the void, and an invisible thread connected them together.
However, at the moment when the result was about to happen, several ripples suddenly appeared in the void. In the ripples there was an incomparable force, and the folding fan used by Song Zining to suppress the Southwest slammed three times in a row, and broke into four pieces!
In this derivation of the secret, this folding fan has the function of suppressing the void, and at the same time it is a cornerstone, so that all jade sticks can be anchored here, so that they will not be taken away by mysterious forces. As soon as the fan shattered, the jade stick immediately lost its foundation and flew around, and then it could not bear the force, and it was blown to pieces.
Song Zining was stunned for a moment, then fell on his back, his face pale as paper.
A while later, Fang Youyou woke up, feeling his whole body was limp and sleepy, and he couldn't lift any strength.
Song Zining suddenly remembered something, jumped up in shock, and grabbed the folding fan in his hand. It's a pity that this folding fan has been completely destroyed, with no spirituality at all, and there is no possibility of repairing it.
Song Zining stared blankly at the folding fan, his heart blank. This folding fan is extremely important to him, it is already an indispensable part, almost equivalent to the role of stealing the jade box in the Li family. At this moment, it was destroyed under the strange ripples.
Song Zining tried to exercise his mind, but was surprised again. At this moment, the mind that was originally clear and clear was covered with a layer of veil, and the response to the Dao of the Void became very slow. Before polishing off this layer of tulle, he should stop trying to deduce the secret.
