Conspiracy

Chapter 618
A gust of evening wind blew in from the deck, rustling He Liang's loose robe.

Behind him, there were a dozen or so guards, all of whom should have been soldiers from the looks of them.

Huo Ji stood on the stage, hooked the corners of his lips, cupped his hands and said: "The final general will see the prince."

He Liang didn't respond, and walked forward. Wherever he passed, the crowd scattered.

The arena is divided into Wen Lei and Wu Lei, which are arranged on the lake outside, more than a hundred feet away from the painting boat.The strange thing is that there is no bridge leading to the arena. If there is no boat to see him off, even if he uses light work, he may not be able to fly over.

He glanced at the guest seats in the painting boat, walked straight up to the third floor, and sat in the seat with the best view of the battle.

Lifting Erlang's legs, leaning against the back of the chair, the movements are comfortable and lazy.

"Okay, don't be too polite, get up."

"Thank you, Lord!"

It was the first time for Chihuang to see He Liang, so she couldn't help but looked up a few more times. She didn't care at first, but staring at those eyes, she always felt a little familiar.

Maybe it was because she looked at it for a long time, He Liang touched his chin, and asked with a smile: "The princess has been staring at this king, could it be that she is interested in this king? I have heard that the princess is unparalleled in the world, and she is also called by the emperor. The Goddess of War, seeing her today, she really lives up to her reputation. Huo Ji, with a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!"

Everyone gasped, Chihuang is Huo Ji's wife who has never been married!He Liang is planning to steal it?

Chihuang bowed and saluted, her voice was like a warbler's cry: "My lord, Chihuang is nothing more than the appearance of willows. The so-called controlling birds with sound is just a rumor."

Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, that's all she can say, otherwise, with He Liang's power, I'm afraid she will become a 'canary' raised by the Prince Regent's mansion tomorrow.

Fortunately, He Liang didn't take it seriously, he just joked with a smile: "The posture of the willow? If the princess is in the posture of the willow, all the women in the world will hang themselves in shame and indignation."

Seeing this, Lin Qinghe stepped forward to smooth things over: "The lord seems to have hit it off with the princess, and they had a very happy conversation. But today, General Huo set up a competition on a boat, and most of the people in Phoenix City came to join in the fun. Presumably the lord did too. Same, if you continue to wait, I am afraid that the sky will be dawn, and it will ruin the prince's good interest in vain."

"That's right, let's beat the drums!"

He Liang glanced at Huo Ji with a half-smile, and the latter took Chihuang's hand with a facial expression, walked up to the third floor and sat next to He Liang.

Lin Qinghe also came up and sat down immediately, and winked at the steward, who turned to the outside of the boat and said loudly, "Beat the drums!"

'Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom'

The loud drum sound spread from the lake to all directions, and everyone looked for the sound, only to see that there was a huge wave on the originally calm lake.

As the river stopped surging, the originally ordinary two-party arena extended from the original small wooden platform to the surroundings amidst the sound of machinery running, and expanded to accommodate hundreds of people in the blink of an eye.

'pop'

The steward clapped their hands, and saw hundreds of Kongming lanterns flying out from the woods on the other side. These Kongming lanterns were different from what they usually saw.

Like Yi shooting nine suns, rivers and rivers condense into clear light.

If this is the case, it will be fine. After the Kongming lanterns are raised, lotus lanterns of various shapes and colors float down from the upper reaches, and the river surface reflected by the black night sky composes a beautiful and fantasy landscape.

Numerous fluorescent birds fly across the sky with flowers in their hands, like a vision from heaven.

Everyone knew that this must have been done by Chihuang, but at this moment, in front of He Liang, they did not dare to do it again.

He Liang looked at Chihuang, but saw her staring at the river without blinking. Through the veil, he couldn't see her expression clearly, but he began to be curious about Chihuang and wanted to find out.

Perhaps his gaze was too hot, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she frowned involuntarily.

Huo Ji seemed to have noticed something, turned slightly sideways, and used his body to cover He Liang's scorching gaze.

He Liang smiled, didn't take it seriously, and continued to look outside Huafang.

After the gaudy opening, two huge arenas finally took shape.

Everyone saw with their own eyes that the arena seemed to be alive, as if there were mechanisms operating underwater, and the size of the arena had more than doubled in the blink of an eye.

The man in charge clapped his hands again, and there was a strange sound of 'click, click' from Wenlei Arena.

On the side of the arena above the horizontal plane, a black and flat hole was exposed, and one after another, slender wooden boards were spit out one after another. There seemed to be no connection between the wooden boards, but the speed of splicing was extremely fast, and it quickly extended towards the painting boat.

Seeing that the first piece of wood hit the hull of the painting boat, they didn't hear the sound of the impact, but heard a 'click' instead.

The good-natured person took a closer look and found that the piece of wood was perfectly inlaid into the hull of the painting boat.

A bridge connecting the arena and the boat was suddenly formed, and some unbelievers stepped on it, but the wooden planks were very strong, without breaking or breaking.I picked the gap twice with my hands, but still couldn't find the connection.

The mechanism on Wu Lei's side was also activated, but this time the hole was no bigger than a fist. Before they could ask any questions, a chain as thick as a baby's arm flew directly towards the boat, and the long black shadow was like a giant python. With the sound of breaking through the air, many people were frightened and retreated instinctively.

'patta'

In the blink of an eye, the chain was embedded into the boat, and it closed perfectly.

"General Huo, what are these? You don't want us to step on these boards and chains to the ring, do you?"

Huo Ji explained: "It's just a mechanism technique. The two arenas are the same. The mechanism is hidden inside and not exposed on the surface. The ugly thing is before, Huo can't guarantee when the boards and chains will break. Anyone who has the guts to try it.”

Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, Huo Ji's move directly eliminated the semi-adults.

A quarter of an hour passed, and finally, a thin-looking scholar raised his hand. He bowed to He Liang and Huo Ji, saluted, and then walked to the bridge connecting Wen Lei.

He stepped on it twice with his foot, and there was no difference. He gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, and got on the bridge with his eyes closed.

Unexpectedly, the bridge spliced ​​with wooden boards turned out to be very stable and did not shake at all. Although I felt a little relieved, I did not dare to relax my vigilance.

But the bridge of hundreds of feet, he actually felt as if he had traveled a hundred and eight thousand miles.

Not only was his head dripping with cold sweat, but even the hearts of the spectators were raised.

Naturally, they were not worried about the scholar's safety, but were afraid that the ten treasures would fall into the hands of others.

Although Huo Ji didn't say it clearly, since he spent so much time and effort, the ten treasures must not be far behind at the last time.

As for some insiders, they are determined to compete for one of the civil and military leaders today. If they can get such things, imperial power and wealth will be at their fingertips.
