In a medicinal field, a strong fragrance permeates the air, a faint mist mixed with the early morning light, dew rolling slowly from the green branches and leaves, and then dripping into the moist soil, the purple-red flowers are delicate and beautiful, A young man wearing a bamboo hat was carefully pruning the branches.
"Master Baili, why are you still in this medicine garden? Master Shen has been waiting for you for half an hour. If you don't go, the whole house will be overturned."
Looking at the anxious expression of the maid with a round head, Baili realized that he had forgotten the time again in the medicine garden. He had originally made an appointment with Shen Bairu early this morning to discuss the peace talks that were about to start, but he didn't expect that he would start messing around. These flowers and plants make me lose track of time immediately.
Thinking of Shen Bairu who was probably angry enough to burst into flames, Baili trembled all over. He quickly took off his bamboo hat and disappeared into the medicine field in a flash, leaving the maid with an expression of hatred for steel and sighing. , holding up the skirt and ran to the front hall.
Before even entering the front hall, Baili heard the sound of things being thrown, and then a harsh curse came, "Baili! If you don't come out to me, I will tear down your house. Believe it or not." ?”
"Come on, come on, Bai Ru, why are you here so early? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was busy with government affairs and slept late last night, so I missed my appointment with you, hahaha."
Full of desire for survival, the powerful Penglai ten men and Tribulation Realm master nodded and bowed to the angry woman in front of him. Unfortunately, the dewdrops and purple petals on his robes that had not yet been wiped off completely betrayed him. Seeing that he could not hide it from Shen Bairu Fortunately, Baili could only admit defeat and admitted in a low voice the fact that he was playing with flowers and plants in the morning.
"You, you, have already reached this level, and you are still playing with those herbs. Wouldn't it be better if you have the time to give more guidance to the students of Penglai Academy?"
Shen Bairu couldn't do anything about Baili's always good attitude of admitting his mistakes. Who said that he had no pursuit of his lover and liked to stay in the medicine field when he had nothing to do? If all ten people were like him, the Penglai Fairy Kingdom would have been finished long ago. .
"Something happened last night. I just received the news, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed to come to you. This time, I'm afraid I really can't stop you."
Seeing the sudden serious look on his beloved woman's face, Baili also put away his previous casualness. There was only one thing that could make Shen Bairu say such words at the moment, and that was the peace talks with the Cangyun Empire.
"The fleet participating in the talks passed through the Sea of Death last night and arrived at the border area three hundred miles east of the Cangyun Empire. Then we lost communication with us. This time, the leader of the team was the Dean of the Privy Council, Immeasurable Realm Strong Or, he carried a magic weapon with him, the Lingyuan Magic Tablet, which could transmit information across any obstacles, but in the end he only sent back one sentence, 'Under attack, Cangyun'."
Shen Bairu's narration was very simple, but it gave a rough description of what happened. Baili, who frowned, knew very well what the attack on the fleet meant, and although the information sent back was vague, it was enough to make him stand out. The ten guys were completely furious.
"You understand, it doesn't matter who attacked the negotiation fleet. Even if we check, I believe the answer is 100% Cangyun Empire. Most of the members of the fleet are people who support our proposition. They were attacked We have weakened our voice in Penglai a lot. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Soon the whole country will know the whole story of what Sikong and the others want the people to know. You can imagine what will happen then."
The conversation between the two ended here, and a solemn atmosphere filled the entire front hall. Even the maid with a round head happened to come to see such a scene, and she put away her usual liveliness and quietly made tea for the two adults. Tea, then retreated.
"What is supposed to come will always come. Call Zuoqiu and the others, go to Penglai Pavilion and finally persuade Sikong. If it is impossible to do anything, we are still Penglai people after all. We have to think about our country. This unknown war will not be fought if we don't fight it. I have to fight too.”
Both of them are super strong men in the Tribulation Realm. They have already understood the secrets of space. It is not difficult for them to move instantly. Baili and Shen Bairu, who made up their minds, came to the street and looked at Xixi's disturbing people. The flow of people and the obviously increased number of patrolling soldiers showed that Sikong was already making preparations for the war.
After looking at each other, the two people dodged and disappeared. The next second they arrived at the meeting hall in Penglai Pavilion. Only then did they realize that besides the two of them, the other eight ten men were also present. When they saw the two of them pushing open the door, all eyes were focused. The eyes of the three people on the side of Taoist Zuoqiu revealed doubts and inquiries, while Sikong, the leader, was angry. As for Katori on the side, he looked at Shen Bairu. There's a bit of drama in it.
"Okay, everyone, please stop staring. Baili, Shen Bairu, please sit down. I believe you are all aware of the current situation. As we have inferred before, the Cangyun Empire has no intention of negotiating at all. , openly attacked our fleet and completely shattered our desire for peaceful development. Now there is only one way before Penglai, and that is to pay with blood."
It was Sikong who spoke first, and in his words he seemed to have already concluded the incident about the attack on the fleet. Shen Bairu, who was about to speak out to refute, was grabbed by Baili beside him. He turned around and saw that he had always been careless. The man's eyes were twinkling today.
"Brother Sikong, we are very sad about what happened to the fleet, but I'm afraid we can't make a hasty conclusion as to whether it was the fault of the Cangyun Empire. We must avenge this, but if we find the wrong person, wouldn't it mean that those who died in the sea will be killed? Brothers will never die in peace."
As if he had expected Baili's words, Sikong waved his right hand in the air, and an image appeared in the center of the meeting hall. There were screams and roars everywhere in the screen. Soldiers fell one by one, and a famous soldier fell down. The monk was killed, and the sound of swords clashing and violent explosions could be heard all the time.
The person who took this video was obviously a very powerful monk. He was walking in the air and killing enemies. They were all wearing black uniforms and holding long knives with cold light in their hands. Suddenly two figures appeared. Attacked from the sky, he fought with the monk who left the image. The opponent was powerful. Soon the monk was hit in the vital point and fell into the sea, and the image ended.
"This is the deputy captain of my personal guard. This time he is responsible for protecting the safety of the fleet. In addition to the Lingyuan spell in the hands of the Dean of the Privy Council, there is also a space magic weapon in the entire fleet, which is the Yue Qingjing in his hand. I am the only one who knows about this matter, and of course this video is only shown to you."
"Everyone can notice the men in black who attacked the fleet. They thought they had concealed their identities, but the unified weapons exposed them. They were special weapons cast from a rare ore called Lishui Iron. The long sword is a standard weapon unique to the Royal Guards of the Cangyun Empire, and only they are allowed to use it in the entire empire."
After hearing Sikong's explanation, a group of ten men started talking. If the information sent back by the Privy Council Dean was just a fragment of information, then this video was the ironclad evidence that the Cangyun Empire attacked the fleet. Looking at the satisfied Sikong and Katori, , even if it is as powerful as a hundred miles, it is speechless.
Outside Penglai Pavilion, the clouds were gathering and a storm was coming.
