It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The culprit who harmed the Shen family,
The prefect of Suzhou is dead.

However, the news will surely spread, and once the imperial court learns of it, it will certainly retaliate severely.

For the time being, the Shen family has no other option but to relocate.

Except Tang Yin, the other three talented men remained in Jiangnan.

Because they have too many assets and relatives and friends here.

Moreover, they are all large families, and relocating the whole family is not something that can be decided by just a few words, nor can it be done overnight.

Of the 264 members of the Shen family, at least % are not relatives.

They were the assistants, hired workers, servants or maids in the Shen family's shops.

They are all normal employment relationships.

Lu Yuan meant that those who did not want to follow him would be dismissed on the spot.
For those who were willing to leave, he would arrange for ships to transport them to Goryeo, and they could also bring their families with them.

And ensure that every household will be properly resettled.

At this moment, Shen Elbow had no other extravagant hopes but to save the lives of his family members.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, I obey your command!!"

Back to the sealed Shen Family Compound,

Shen Elbow came forward and explained the reason to everyone, and everyone was free to leave or stay.

Those who stayed were given 100 taels of silver each.

Those who followed him to Goryeo were given 100 taels of silver and 100 acres of land per household.

Moreover, speed is of the essence in war, and there is no time to lose.

Tonight, we must go to the riverside to board the boat so as to make up for the time difference.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Yangtze River Navy and the Oriental Navy did not react, they quickly sailed to Ryukyu.

The Invincible Fleet has already headed to Ryukyu, ready to pick up the Shen family.

As for the Beiyang Fleet covering the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, because of General Zhang Hongli,

Lu Yuan had the upper hand, and both parties had already reached a tacit understanding.

The Invincible Fleet could pass harmlessly through the waters of the Yellow Sea and reach the city of Incheon.

Although the conditions offered by the Shen family were very good,
But most people couldn't bear to leave their hometown and stayed.

After all, if you stay, you can get 100 taels of silver.
Just hide in the countryside for a while, wait for the storm to pass, and then go back to Suzhou.

There were nearly two hundred people who moved with the Shen family, and the Shen family itself had nearly a hundred people.

In this way, a large sea ship is enough,
The Shen family had its own shipping fleet, with more than a dozen large sea vessels, but they were all sealed off at the port by the prefect.
Given the current situation, Lu Yuan is so lawless and domineering in Suzhou City, all he needs to do is snatch it back.

There was no need to find new staff, as there were many sailors who moved with them.

Apart from daily necessities, nothing else was allowed to be taken and all people were placed in the cargo hold.

It is expected to arrive in Ryukyu in five days.

It takes about six or seven days to get from Ryukyu to Incheon.

Although the Shen family was raided,

But Shen Elbow still paid the workers and servants in full.

He had the lawn in the garden dug up and the ground three feet deep.

As a result, two large boxes full of gold and silver were carried out, enough to cover the severance pay.

Lu Yuan smiled and asked:

"It is said that Mr. Shen has a treasure bowl. It seems that it is not groundless!"

Shen Elbow looked at Lu Yuan's face cautiously.
Not finding any greed in his eyes, he felt relieved and explained:
"I dare not deceive the king. I do have a treasure basin.
But it was far from being as exaggerated as the rumors said. In the beginning, he did help many ministers.
But today, it seems a bit useless..."

When they arrived at the back hall, Shen Elbow took out the treasure bowl from the storage space and gave it to Lu Yuan for viewing.

The soup basin is made of neither gold nor jade. When you tap it lightly, the sound it makes is like the gurgling sound of flowing spring water.

Lu Yuan asked: "How does this basin gather treasures? Can you show it to me?"

At this time, Shen Jiaren, who had just washed and dressed,
She changed into a pink dress and came to the back hall with a pure and bright look.

Seeing the "treasure bowl", she hesitated a little:
"Dad, could this be the cornucopia?"

Looking at Shen Jiaren's surprised look, Lu Yuan was also surprised.

"You haven't seen it either?"

Shen Elbow smiled and said:
"I have not touched this basin for more than ten years, so I have never seen it...

This basin only accepts copper coins. The more coins you put in, the more copies you can make.
And, it can only be used once a day."

As he spoke, Shen Elbow took out a string of copper coins and placed them beside the basin.

"Please verify it in person, just for entertainment."

Oh my, it turns out there really is a magic weapon that can “turn one into two”?

This one must try!

Although Lu Yuan was not short of money, curiosity made him unable to resist and he picked up the copper coins and put them into the "soup basin".

One hanging money is equal to 1000 copper coins of one penny each.

It just filled the basin to the brim.

When Lu Yuan's hand left the basin,
The "soup bowl" glows with golden light.

The money strings in the basin gradually grew taller.
As the pile of money grew higher and higher, it began to overflow from the basin.

Wait until all the strings of money just now fall out,

Inside the basin was an identical string of thousand-coin coins.

Hey, this feeling is similar to the "Pisces Jade Pendant".

Lu Yuan raised his thumbs:
"Mr. Shen has a way of amassing wealth, and his reputation is well-deserved. It's amazing!"

Shen Elbow smiled and said: "If it is a poor family,
If you can earn a thousand coins every day, you can live a rich life.
However, this thing is in front of the king.
It is really a small thing compared to a big one, not worth mentioning! "

Lu Yuan asked, "It only works on copper coins?"

"Well, as long as it is copper,

Such as copper hairpins, copper seals, copper blocks, etc.
The size of the items cannot exceed the top of the basin."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Haha, interesting! Really interesting!"

Shen Elbow's heart moved, he glanced at Shen Jiaren, and was about to say something.

Coincidentally, the old butler came to report:
"Master, the carriage is ready and we can go to the port."

Knowing that time was running out, Shen Elbow took his family to the dock.

The tax collectors at the dock had long heard about the North Sea King and the mythical bird monster.

There were rumors that he was cruel and ruthless, including causing chaos in the prefect's compound and killing the prefect.

Seeing a large group of people coming, they hurriedly took off their uniforms.

They blended in with the people to avoid being implicated.

The captain picked out the best merchant ship.

After taking the sailors on board, lower the gangplank,

The Shen family members boarded the ship one after another.

Those servants who decided to move with the Shen family also came with their families one after another.

Suzhou City is not big, and we estimate that we can basically get there before dark.

Before leaving, Lu Yuan told Shen Jiaren not to worry.

After he finished his business, he caught up with her to accompany her, maybe the ship had not yet reached Ryukyu.

Shen Jiaren asked Lu Yuan with a blushing face.

"Will the king not return to Goryeo together?"

"Well, I want to help the Phoenix. I'll come find you when I'm done..."

Shen Jiaren obviously couldn't bear to leave Lu Yuan, so she asked tentatively:

"I don't know what it is. I am willing to help the king complete it!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know if repairing the holy object will be successful, but let's give it a try..."

"Holy object? What is it?"

Lu Yuan quietly told her: "It's 'Xirang' and 'Fire Seed', remember to keep it secret!"

Shen Jiaren was stunned.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the 'Xirang' used by King Yu's father?"

Lu Yuan praised: "That's right, I never thought you were quite knowledgeable..."

Shen Jiaren suddenly asked: "My king, can you take me to see it?"

Lu Yuan hesitated.

It's not that I'm on guard against my fiancée.

Rather, he was concerned about the forbidden area under Mount Heng, and he didn't know the specific situation.
If there is danger, wouldn’t that harm others?
Unexpectedly, the phoenix chirped.

"Take this girl with you. One more person means one more force...

I escorted her in, it's okay."

Lu Yuan thought about it and decided to ask Shen Elbow for his opinion.

After all, they have their own father.
But you can't forget your father just because you have a lover...

Besides, the Phoenix has not entered the forbidden area for tens of thousands of years.

Who knows what changes or accidents will happen?

As soon as Shen Elbow frowned, Shen Jiaren pulled her old father and begged.

"Dad, my daughter wants to go.

Besides, my daughter is engaged to the king.

It is not the Shen family's way to let disasters happen.
Please allow my daughter to share the King's misfortune!"

The corners of Shen Elbow's mouth twitched.

This girl is very eloquent and outgoing.
I guess it's impossible to stop it...

"Okay! Daddy agrees...

You must obey the king's orders and not act recklessly! "Shen Jiaren said happily:

"Thank you, Daddy! I will listen to you, my king! I will never cause any trouble!"

Shen Jiaren hurried over and told Lu Yuan that her father agreed.

She asked again: "My king, Hengshan is so far away, how can we get there?"

Lu Yuan pointed at the phoenix hovering in the air.

"Sitting on it, it's almost there...

Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask, are you afraid of heights or motion sickness?"

Shen Jiaren didn't understand, so she asked, "What's the fear of heights?"

Lu Yuan called the Phoenix to land,
He pulled Shen Jiaren up again and walked up along the wings.

Watching the King of the North Sea holding his daughter's hand and climbing onto the Phoenix's neck and shoulders,

Shen Elbow wiped away his tears quietly.

Now I finally know,

How does it feel to have cabbage eaten by pigs after growing it for fifteen years?

Tang Yin laughed and said, "Old Shen, ah, no,

He should be called "Shen Guozhang".
Congratulations!

Anyway, tonight,
As the matchmaker, Tang must ask for a glass of wedding wine!"

Shen Elbow immediately burst into laughter:
"Yes, yes! Lord Tang has made great contributions.

Drink as much wine as you want! "

Lu Yuan and Shen Jiaren climbed onto the back of the phoenix, and the phoenix slowly rose into the air, ten meters above the ground.

Shen Jiaren was amazed and looked around excitedly.

Seeing that his fiancée was fine, Lu Yuan ordered the Phoenix to rise to a height of 30 meters.

Shen Jiaren looked at the boats and houses below and saw how small they were, and the people looked even smaller.

She was a little worried, Lu Yuan told her.

"The Phoenix has an aura barrier on its body, so there's no need to worry about falling off."

As he spoke, he walked to the suspended position and it was as if he were walking on flat ground.

Shen Jiaren asked in surprise: "Then how can we get in?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it's the Phoenix.
He is defenseless against us, and his defense system is compatible with our breath. "

Shen Jiaren felt that her fiancé's words were strange, but she still understood what he meant.

She also tried to walk to the edge and tentatively stepped on the air with her feet.

It does feel very solid, like walking on clear, colorless ice.

So high above the ground, overlooking the earth without any obstruction,
This unique scenery was something she had never experienced in her dreams.

Moreover, she was interested.

He pointed out to Lu Yuan the various scenic spots and historical sites in Suzhou City.

Seeing that Shen Jiaren adapted quickly, Lu Yuan felt relieved.

According to the theory of relativity, happiness lasts for a short time and pain lasts for a long time.

So, before we knew it, it was almost dusk.

The merchant ship carrying Tang Yin and the Shen family sounded the horn of departure.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The Phoenix lowered its altitude to make it easier for Lu Yuan and Shen Jiaren to say goodbye.

With sails and long oars, the merchant ship slowly sailed along the river, heading north towards the Yangtze River.

Shen Jiaren waved her hands and shouted, "Daddy, take care!"

Shen Elbow wiped his tears and said: "Nannan,
Take good care of the king and yourself! Dad is waiting for you in Goryeo!"

As night fell, the phoenix flew westward.

Watching the mountains and rivers sweeping by at high speed, and the towns passing by in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jiaren held her fiancé's hand tightly.

Lu Yuan patted the other person's hand and whispered, "We'll be there soon!"

"Hoohoo!"

For most of the hour, there was a vast expanse of water.

Lu Yuan estimated that they should have arrived at "Yunmengze".

Well, Hengshan Mountain is nearby.

Sure enough, the phoenix slowed down and dived into the lake at an oblique angle.

Seeing this action, Shen Jiaren couldn't help but exclaim.

"what!"

But soon, she reacted.

The phoenix's spiritual barrier can even block water.

Soon, they dived silently to the bottom of the lake,

The Phoenix restrained its spiritual power ripples,

Many fish and shrimps swam around the phoenix unconsciously.

In Shen Jiaren's eyes, it was like walking in a 360° panoramic aquarium.

Lu Yuan felt very strange. Didn’t they agree to go to the foot of Hengshan Mountain?
How did it become the bottom of Yunmengze Lake?

The Phoenix's reply was: "It is very complicated to enter the forbidden area from Hengshan.
There is a back door at the bottom of Yunmengze Lake, which is relatively simple.

Yes, it’s just ahead, we’ll be there soon.”

After a few breaths, they came to a large area of ​​water plants.

The phoenix flapped its wings slightly,

A torrent was stirred up, pushing away the water plants and mud.

A hexagonal star formation was revealed.

Lu Yuan had seen "The Heavenly Master", so he knew what he was talking about.

This is a highest level of sealing technique.
If the unblocking procedure is incorrect, the intruder will suffer an unimaginable blow.
Even if he is a master at the level of Heavenly Venerate, he will at least lose half his life.

The next moment, the Phoenix mobilized dozens of spiritual powers.

These spiritual powers drilled into the center of the formation, each performing its own function, just like a key fitting into a keyhole.

With a "crash", the formation was correctly unlocked.
The hexagram shining with white light opened with a click.

A bottomless dark passage was revealed.

Lu Yuan was about to ask,

But the Phoenix spread its wings and leaped up.
The three explorers fell straight into the passage.

Once you enter the passage, the undercurrent is extremely turbulent.
The phoenix gave up control and let its huge body drift with the current.

Lu Yuan and others are like leaves.
It was "sucked" into the passage while swirling.

Tens of seconds passed, and it seemed like an eternity.
In the crooked passage, Lu Yuan and Shen Jiaren, who were almost dizzy, suddenly saw something bright.

The light ahead is getting bigger and bigger, faster and faster...

Hmm, it looks like an exit?

Before he had time to think about it, the phoenix's body suddenly leaped up and then fell heavily.

It's like riding a roller coaster.
No matter how brave Shen Jiaren was, she was still afraid.
She instinctively closed her eyes and leaned against her fiancé.

"Pfft!"

There was a loud splashing sound.
Then, the world stabilized.

"arrive!"

The Phoenix said to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was fine and was able to stand.

Before his eyes was a vast expanse of silver liquid.
In the center of the silver liquid, there is a grand platform.

Above the platform, there seems to be an extremely high dome.

The dome is inlaid with stars, shining brightly.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan thought of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

Is this the legendary "Mercury Sea"?
That's impossible. This place is thousands of miles away from Mount Li!
He looked around, but there was nothing there: "Where are the two treasures?"

The Phoenix seems to have become a pleasure boat in the park.
It also looks like a big white goose, with its two claws scratching in the silver liquid.

"It's on the altar. We'll have to climb up later."

Lu Yuan asked curiously: "Why don't you fly up?"

The Phoenix said helplessly: "It is restricted in the forbidden area, and the flight is restricted."

Oh!

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Is this a restriction set by Zhu Rong?"

"if not?"

Ok!

Then I can only walk past slowly.

Longlong Agou...

The three finally approached the high altar.

Sure enough, there was a spiral staircase leading straight up to the platform.

When it comes to walking, Lu Yuan and Shen Jiaren are much more elegant than the phoenix.

After all, this guy is too big and his legs are shorter than his wings, so he can only use his hands and feet together.

It looks really funny.

Climbing onto the altar, everything in front of you,
Lu Yuan and Shen Jiaren were shocked beyond words! (End of this chapter)
