don't show

That is the moon, 38 kilometers away from here, even if it is the upper realm of the sky, it cannot fly to the moon. That kind of strong person needs to breathe and needs air.

Just when Lin Xiu had come to a conclusion, on the fifth day, when he habitually looked up at the moon, he found that the human-shaped stone had disappeared.

Lin Xiu looked around and was sure that it was the crater mountain, but the human silhouette on the platform on the top of the mountain disappeared without a trace, leaving only a platform.

On the sixth night, that figure appeared on the platform again.

Lin Xiu's throat twitched, her eyes filled with disbelief.

There really is a man on the moon.

Chapter 347

For the past half month, Lin Xiu has been observing the moon.

Not Ake's moon, but a real moon.

He was sure that what he saw on the moon was a figure, a figure that could move, because the distance was too far, Lin Xiu could only see a very vague outline, he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, and he couldn't see his face clearly. That figure sat cross-legged most of the time, and occasionally flew back and forth between the craters.

In the few days at the end of the month, only a crescent moon could be seen in the sky. When the next full moon came, Lin Xiu never found that figure again.

I don't know where he flew to, the moon is so big, looking for someone on it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lin Xiu was very curious about his identity.

Is the moon man?

Obviously impossible, Lin Xiu looked at the moon every night, her eyes were sore, and she couldn't find another person.

Did it fly up from the earth?

If he flew up from the earth, then his cultivation base is at least supreme, because even if he is in the upper realm of the heavens, he does not have this ability. Without air, they will suffocate and die.

This possibility was also denied by Lin Xiu.

After observing that figure for several days, judging from the behavior of the other party, Lin Xiu had a feeling in his heart that he wanted to leave the moon, but there was no way to do so.

He seems to be trapped on the moon.

In fact, theoretically speaking, Lin Xiu can land on the moon.

After flying away from the earth, light, darkness, space, and thoughts can all provide him with a steady stream of energy, and his body, even if it is exposed to a vacuum, will not have any problems, as long as he is in the portable space Store enough air, use the speed magic to the extreme, fly at full speed for a few days, and then you can successfully land on the moon.

The problem is that flying at full speed consumes a lot of energy, and it cannot be supplemented by other abilities. He must fly for a while. In this case, 38 kilometers, he will fly to the year of the monkey, and the stored air will definitely be used in the middle do.

At that time, he will be tragic and will be left in space forever.

I don't know where the man on the moon is from, how strong he is, whether he has good intentions or malice towards human beings. It's best not to contact him. Lin Xiu didn't even tell the second person about this matter.

But he paid more attention to practice.

The secret of the Dayou Meteorite, the mysterious figure on the moon, there are still some things in this world that people don't know, who knows what will happen in the future, and it will never be wrong to improve your strength as much as possible.

Two days later, Lin Xiu brought her daughters to the East China Sea.

In addition to practicing this time, he has other tasks.

A few days ago, the imperial court received urgent reports from several coastal prefectures such as East China Sea and Jiangnan. These days, the actions of the Hai Clan suddenly became active. Within half a month, the number of incidents of Hai Clan attacks on people in various prefectures increased by more than tenfold .

The imperial court has allocated a million taels from the national treasury to quell the chaos of the sea clan. Some geniuses from the School of Different Arts and the School of Martial arts will also go to various places along the coast.

Compared with the Sea Clan, there are still too few capable people in the Human Clan. It is far from enough to rely on the offerings recruited by the court, and it is necessary to rely on the power of the powerful. will be drawn over.

After Emperor Xia knew that Lin Xiu was coming to the East China Sea, he asked him to investigate why the Hai Clan suddenly rioted this time.

For Lin Xiu, this couldn't be easier.

He doesn't need to check at all, just ask directly.

The East China Sea, somewhere in the sea, under the sea.

A certain tribe of the Sea Clan knelt down and said in unison: "Greetings, Lord Sea God!"

Lin Xiu glanced at the leaders of several small tribes at the ground level, and asked: "These days, have you gone ashore to attack the human race?"

A leader of the Sea Clan said blankly: "No, we all obeyed Lord Sea God's order and did not go ashore."

"The sea tribes attacking the human tribes in the coastal provinces, without you?"

"Back to Lord Seagod, there should be no sea clan going ashore these days..."

Lin Xiu asked these sea people and learned that they hadn't gone ashore these days.

Not only them, but other nearby Sea tribes did not go ashore either.

It's not that I don't want to, but that I don't have time.

During the Sea God Festival not long ago, some daring thief actually sneaked into the palace and stole all the water essence of the royal family.

King Canglan was so angry that he ordered the entire city to be searched, but the guards of the royal family turned the whole city upside down, but they did not catch the thief.

The thieves were not caught, and the unlucky ones were all the Sea Clan in Canglan Nation.

After the Sea God Festival, King Canglan ordered that the tributes of the major tribes be doubled this year, and that as long as the spirit of water is used, it cannot be replaced by other things, obviously to make up for the loss.

If the tribute of the big tribe is doubled, it will naturally require the tribute of the middle tribe below to be doubled, and the middle tribe will also ask for the small tribe at the bottom. Not a good day.

They couldn't make up the double tribute of previous years, let alone double it.

This is simply impossible.

And the consequence of not being able to complete it is to lose freedom completely and become a slave. You don't have to do anything in the future, just gather the essence of water for the royal family.

These days, the big and small sea tribes complained a lot, they were all worried about the tribute, and they had no time to go ashore.

Lin Xiu did not expect that the last incident would lead to such consequences.

King Canglan, this is obviously a bad idea.

The Hai Clan has average fighters per capita. Those big tribes, apart from having no heavenly rank, should not be underestimated. If they are pushed into a hurry, they may not be able to shout out, "The princes and generals are better than each other."

But this is not what Lin Xiu should worry about. The question now is, if it wasn't for the Hai Clan, who did the things that attacked the people?

In order to quell the chaos of the Hai clan, the imperial court allocated a million taels of funds, but Lin Xiu found out that the Hai clan was not in chaos at all, and they couldn't take care of themselves. How could they have time to go ashore to make trouble?

In order to collect the tribute for next year, they have to work 30 days a month, eight hours a day to condense the essence of water, otherwise they will be captured and taken as slaves next year.

But it wasn't the Sea Clan who caused the chaos, so who could it be?

Lin Xiu looked at the sea people in front of her and said, "You guys have to do something."

night.

A fishing village somewhere in the East China Sea.

As soon as night fell, there was no light in the small fishing village.

In recent days, the Hai Clan is rampant. Several families in the same county have been murdered. The whole family has been wiped out by the Hai Clan. Before it was dark, the people had closed their doors and windows and stopped going out.

Just after midnight, everything was silent, and the people in the entire fishing village had already fallen asleep.

Somewhere at the entrance of the village, a black shadow swiftly crossed the courtyard wall and fell into the courtyard, but he didn't notice that a few bald heads were looking at him in a ditch not far away.

The black shadow fell into the courtyard, and a palm fell on the door of a certain house, and the door was broken with a sound.

Inside the house, a couple of fishermen was awakened. They held a two-year-old child in their arms and looked at the shadow at the door in horror.

The figure shook his hand at them, and countless water droplets shot towards the family of three with the sound of breaking the wind.

The couple was shocked and desperate. They never thought that the one who killed them was not the Sea Clan, but a human being...

But just when the water droplets were about to fall on them, they suddenly turned back, and the figure suddenly turned around, only to find three more figures jumping in from outside the courtyard.

By the moonlight, he saw the appearance of the three figures clearly, he was taken aback in his heart, and blurted out: "Sea Clan!"

These three people were ugly, with fins on their backs and arms, they turned out to be the Sea Clan, but why did the Sea Clan save these people?

Shocked, he ignored the fisherman and his wife, and immediately retreated over the wall. The three sea tribes were ordered by Lord Sea God to squat here for three nights. I followed without hesitation...

In the room, the woman hugged the crying child and comforted her constantly.

The man walked out bravely, and there was no one in the courtyard. At this moment, he was also at a loss. He couldn't figure it out. The same clan who had no grievances with them wanted their family's life, but the cruel and cruel Hai clan saved their family.

Chapter 348 Is there a lot of people?

After discovering that the chaos in several coastal prefectures was not caused by the Hai Clan, Lin Xiu ordered more than a thousand Hai Clan to squat in various river ditches late at night.

The many attacks that happened before have some things in common. The time of the incident is usually late at night, and the location is far away from the prefecture or county, usually in a small village not far from the water source.

This is also in line with the behavioral characteristics of the Sea Clan.

Being close to rivers and streams, their abilities can be better utilized and they feel more secure. After all, once they fall into the hands of the government or Zhen Haijun, their fate will be very miserable.

Lin Xiu thought at first that these incidents were caused by some small groups of the Sea Clan.

But the three Sea Clans caught a human back.

According to them, this person sneaked into a fishing village in the middle of the night and killed a family of three in the fishing village. If they hadn't been squatted down by them, that family of fishermen would have been in trouble.

The person with the ability of the water magic was brought to the bottom of the sea by three sea tribes, and he was terrified. He never thought that the sea tribe would meddle in their own business.

This has never happened before.

Lin Xiu looked at the man who was being escorted by two sea clansmen.

This person was dressed in black, about 30 years old, and was looking at him with horror at the moment.

Lin Xiu looked at him and asked lightly, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man raised his head. Is this handsome man in front of him the legendary Sea Spirit Clan?

He was shocked by how standard the words of this Hailing tribe Daxia were. He didn't want to answer, but soon, his eyes became blank, and he murmured:

"The seventh lieutenant of Zhenhai, Jia Zhang Linxiu frowned, the one who attacked and killed the people of Donghai Mansion at night was not the Hai clan, but the lieutenant of Zhenhai?

Zhen Haijun is an army formed by the imperial court to suppress the sea people. This army is stationed in various coastal prefectures all year round. Almost all of the army are people with strange magic abilities and warriors. In order to maintain this army, the imperial court spends huge military expenditures every year. Not long ago, an additional one million taels of military expenditure was added to expand the army and maintain the daily expenses of the army.

Zhen Haijun was supposed to resist the Hai Clan and protect the people, but now it's the other way around.

Lin Xiu quickly thought of more.

Almost every year, the imperial court received news of the Hai Clan riots several times, and then sent various supplies and military expenses to the Zhenhai Navy in a steady stream.

Lin Xiu asked the leaders of the sea clan that they would not go ashore on a large scale every year, but would sneak up occasionally to steal some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep when they were hungry.

It is not ruled out that some ferocious Sea Clans have a deep hatred for humans and will take the initiative to attack the people, but most of the Sea Clans have to worry about the tributes of the Sea God Festival every year, and they don't have the time or energy to riot.

Could it be that Zhen Haijun blamed the Hai Clan for the previous riots?

Lin Xiu looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"

The middle-aged man murmured: "General, general..."

From the mouth of the captain of the Zhenhai Navy, Lin Xiu confirmed the guess just now, there was no sea clan riot at all, and all the sea clan riots in the coastal provinces were all planned by them.

Only when the sea tribe rebelled, the role of suppressing the navy could be highlighted, and the imperial court would give them a large amount of military expenditure every year and allow them to continue to expand their army.

The Sea Clan will not argue, and no one will doubt it.

Originally, Emperor Xia asked Lin Xiu to investigate the cause of the Hai Clan's riot, but he did not expect to find Zhen Haijun in the end. Although this army was formed by the Great Xia court, the actual power in the army is a few dignitaries.

Most of the generals in the Zhenhai Navy are from powerful families

General Zhenhai comes from the Wei family in the capital of the kingdom, and the four first-class families in Daxia. The Xue family is a newcomer. Compared with the Song family and the Zhang family, the Wei family's presence is not high, but their strength should not be underestimated.

The Wei family has one heaven-ranked strongman and two earth-ranked men, one of whom is the current head of the Wei family, and the other is General Zhenhai, who commands the town's navy and is the easternmost line of defense against the Sea Clan in Great Xia.

Unless authorized by the court, Lin Xiu has no right to investigate Zhen Haijun.

Even the secret investigation division does not have this kind of power.

King's capital.

Emperor Xia looked at a secret letter sent by Lin Xiu, his complexion was ashen, the Hai Clan's rebellion was actually caused by Zhen Haijun. Over the years, those moths swallowed up the military expenditure of the court, and did not know how many people died in vain in their hands.

Zhu Jin was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhen Haijun, don't move..."

How could Emperor Xia not know that Zhen Haijun can't be moved easily, and the involvement is too deep. Moving them means moving those big dignitaries. Unlike the minions supported by those dignitaries in various provinces, the army is full of their direct descendants .

Just because he can't move doesn't mean someone can't move.

He is afraid of the rich and powerful, but the powerful also have people who are afraid of them.

In the past, when he did some things, he still needed the sword of the Tiandao League, but now with Lin Xiu, everything is different.
