The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 568 The End of the Sea and the Sky

There was complete silence for a moment, and all the bystanders were in a daze. Sanniang even forgot that this was a battle and subconsciously scratched her head.

After doing this for a long time, you once thought that the loyal Hai Qianfan was a traitor, and that the enemy Hai Changkong who once hunted you was one of your own?

How did Zhao Changhe figure it out? Able to achieve such precise coordination.

Shui Ren was stunned for a long time, and finally got angry: "Hai Changkong, what are you doing!"

Hai Changkong glanced at it: "I am secretive in my work. If I don't want to kill, I have to declare that I want to kill. If I find a traitor, I have to pretend to cooperate. I see loyal ministers treating me as an enemy and secretly tipping off the traitor to guard against me, but I still You must protect him to prevent him from being discovered by you and killed. Do you know how I feel after all these years?"

That night, the general who tried to send a message by going to the toilet but was blocked stood in the distance blankly, his mind slowly waking up from the downtime.

There are many Poseidon believers in the army, and there may even be Poseidon among them. Before the Dragon King officially fell out with Poseidon, Hai Changkong certainly couldn't reveal his true tendencies, lest he ruin the Dragon King's plan.

The water man said angrily: "How dare you do it now?"

"If you haven't heard that His Majesty has decided to fall out with Poseidon after listening for so long, then your intelligence is much weaker than I thought..." Hai Changkong smiled: "Of course, I didn't dare to do it directly in front of you. Let’s face it, after all, I’m no match for you. I’ll have to wait until this battle is over and I’ll hand over the job. But now that Sanniang and Mr. Zhao are so powerful, and it’s you who are going to die, why don’t I dare?”

Sanniang glanced at him, hesitated to speak, but said nothing in the end, and suddenly shot at the water man.



The next moment, Zhao Changhe's sword and Hai Changkong's sword attacked Shui Ren almost at the same time.

Facing the joint attack of these three, how could Shuiren, who had been injured by Zhao Changhe's sneak attack, still be able to withstand it? In an instant, energy surged wildly, and the water waves overflowed. The water man was beaten to death, and only a blue crystal remained suspended in the void.

Sanniang took the spar and still didn't say anything, mainly because her mind was confused and she didn't know what to say. In fact, Zhao Changhe didn't know what to say at this time, so he casually said something to liven up the atmosphere: "It seems that Neptune didn't take action this time? I thought it wouldn't be that easy."

Sanniang said: "The last attack didn't directly crush us, so he wouldn't waste his energy casually."

Zhao Changhe nodded and said: "This water man is said to have three levels of secret strength, but I don't think he can beat the real strong ones on the Heavenly Ranking, right? We already have three crystals..."

Sanniang responded: "A structure is a structure after all, and it will still have many flaws. For example, it will never have the insidious fighting mentality like you."

　　Why did you still scold me when I gave you such a lively atmosphere... Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry. Just as he was about to say something, Hai Changkong interrupted the two's incoherent cross talk and asked directly: "Does the princess still hate me?"

 Sanniang looked at him again. She had told Zhao Changhe before that she had no hatred towards this person, but that didn't mean that she didn't have some concerns and didn't know how to talk to him.

Since the other party said this, she said calmly: "In the early years, you were just following orders, and there is nothing to say. But Hai Qianfan said that killing me can solve many problems, and it will be the same for you. This is true. If you kill me, you will have a great chance of obtaining the inheritance rights of Penglai, how can I determine whether you still have this intention?"

Hai Changkong laughed dumbly: "You have no intention of doing this. You are not my obstacle at all. Why do you want to ask for such trouble? Maybe one day His Majesty will grow old and suddenly miss the love between father and daughter, and instead look at the murderer everywhere. If you don’t like it, who should I call to persuade you?”

This time even Zhao Changhe looked at him in surprise.

 This is the truth, but not many people can be so transparent. Marshal Hai is indeed a talent.

Hai Changkong said calmly: "It doesn't matter if the princess hates me, as long as the personal grudges will not affect the official business. Let's do this for now. I will clean up the mess on the battlefield and send you two to Penglai later."

 After speaking, he strode away and walked towards the warship.

 The war at sea is also coming to an end.

Some people still saw the scene where the pirate leader was beheaded. The pirates were so confused that they didn't know what to do. The fleets from various countries that were about to be annihilated finally found the opportunity to break out and quickly disappeared. Hai Changkong did not pursue him. He originally needed Lai Qi to go back and promote the sacrifice here. The troops of various countries were defeated as evidence.

 Fundamentally shaking the faith of Poseidon is the biggest blow to Poseidon. The accumulation over the years has almost completely collapsed.

Hitting a snake means hitting it seven inches. Hai Pinglan had endured it for many years, and finally showed his fangs to the ancient gods and demons.

If Sanniang hadn't come, maybe nothing would have happened, Hai Pinglan's plan would be implemented smoothly, and maybe Hai Qianfan would be a loyal minister in the end. The arrival of Sanniang triggered Hai Qianfan's rebellion, but in the end there was no danger, and the result was no different.

 If there is any difference, it is that the turtle is sent into the arms of the pig.

Zhao Changhe pulled Sanniang’s sleeve: “Are you going to Penglai?”

Sanniang pouted: "You have an appointment with Chichi, right?"

"Well…"

Sanniang was very unhappy: "We should go out and explore the island. It's impossible to stay in Penglai all the time. I feel it's in vain if you go there. I came here to find the pirate group first, originally to ask them to help find this place." Local...who knows, things are happening one after another, and I almost forgot what I was going to do..."

 Zhao Changhe said "hmm". It can be said that among Sanniang's many identities, the one she truly identifies with the most and most is the Xuanwu of the Four Symbols Sect.

Xia Chichi went overseas to find a special place that Xia Longyuan pointed out that would allow her to break through the triple secrets. On the surface, it seemed like it was just a matter of her own improvement, but as a saint, she could peek into the triple secrets at such a young age. This in itself It is a major event in the sect, and the position of the leader is almost certain. Zhuque attaches great importance to it, and Xuanwu personally goes to help, all stem from this. In comparison, the Wang family's rebellion, which was known as the center of the storm at this time, was nothing to the Four Symbols Sect.

God knows there was an interlude on Sanniang’s side, but she got to play the leading role for once, which was unexpected, and her head is still buzzing until now.

Sanniang said again: "Now I don't want to have any grudges with Hai Changkong, and that's why. If you want to find this place, you can't do it without their help. I don't really want to talk to him. When the time comes, you can ask more about this matter." It’s important to us.”

 Zhao Changhe touched her head: "Okay."

 “Don’t touch my head!”

“How about another place?” Zhao Changhe took her hand and said, “We have our own boat.”

“It’s the Tang family’s boat, right? Who is following her, it’s us!”

The two of them rode the waves hand in hand, and the sound of their bickering faded away and became less audible.

 …

Hai Pinglan, who was talking to Xia Chichi, suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. There seemed to be invisible airflow swirling in the sky and dissipating.

He stared at it for a while and suddenly smiled: "Times have changed. Ever since He blindly set foot on land, diverted a lot of energy, and provoked your father... I knew that this day would come sooner or later."

Xia Chichi blinked her eyes.

Hai Pinglan stood up and said, "Let's go, little girl."

Standing up now, Xia Chi realized that this man was very tall. He could imagine how heroic he must have been when he was crossing the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. But perhaps because he was injured for a long time and continued to fight with the Sea Emperor later, his body was very poorly maintained. He looked really old and was obviously not much older than Xia Longyuan. He should be more than sixty at the moment. , but he looks like he is a whole generation older, feeling like he is in his eighties or nineties...

Xia Chichi sighed secretly and pretended to be stupid: "Where to go?"

"You asked people to search for a certain sea area before. Did you think you could hide it from me?"

“I didn’t want to hide it from my uncle, but I didn’t ask him to help me either…”

The title "uncle" made Hai Pinglan stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly burst out laughing: "I don't call Xia Longyuan brothers. You don't have to use this title to block me. I won't be disadvantageous to you in the first place. Why are you panicking? "

Xia Chichi curled her lips.

 She came here not as an envoy to Penglai, but to find a place.

 In the first few days, Xia Chichi did not want to contact Penglai officials directly. After the last time she went to sea, her general Jiao Mujiao, who was actually the elder Bangyou who Zhao Changhe had met several times, temporarily established a station here. This time, she also asked Jiaomu Jiao to visit her here. Fan’s destination, which sea areas are close to the images shown by Xia Longyuan.

Unfortunately, this was obviously not something that the Jiaomu Jiao, who had just arrived, could do. He almost cried when he heard this request, so he looked for it for a while and told Xia Chichi directly that he couldn't find it.

Xia Chichi hesitated again and again, but finally went to see Hai Pinglan. After all, they are allies. It is actually easier to do things openly than to visit secretly.

However, before meeting, Xia Chichi never expected that the core of their conversation would be Venerable Xuanwu, and the other party also identified her as Xia Longyuan's daughter, and the relationship between them became very strange. The conversation was also very deep, so deep that it was not something that a messenger should talk about when they met for the first time.

Furthermore, she didn’t mention “asking allies to help find a place” at all, but the other party took the initiative to mention it.

I thought the sea was closed off, but it turned out that I was the one who was closed off. Others knew too much, but I had just an outline of their affairs.

"If I'm not wrong, there are only a few places you are looking for..." Hai Pinglan smiled: "Do you want to go and see the legendary end of the sea and sky, the place where the sun rises?"

Xia Chichi blurted out: "Yes!"

Hai Pinglan smiled and said: "Then come. The voyage will take a long time."

Xia Chichi was stunned: "What does uncle mean...that you are going too?"

"Of course I'm going. Xia Longyuan is using you to catch the Sea Emperor, so why am I not driving him to eat the wolf? If I don't go now, I won't wait until later!" Hai Pinglan strode out and looked at her from behind. As if in the prime of life.
