Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 436: King Rui, Land on the Island! (Two in One)

Near the coast of Yundi City, there were many large official ships, but not a single civilian ship.

It’s just because of the restrictions of the Imperial City.

If you want to enter or leave Yundi City, you can only take an official ship. Civilian ships are not allowed to go to sea here, nor are they allowed to approach the misty Yundi City.

In addition, there is another restriction targeting military personnel.

One should bow his head before the emperor, and warriors are forbidden to fly here.

Even someone as prominent as King Cui or as powerful as Song Changming had to obediently board the official ship to enter.

Of course, King Cui is one of the thirty-six kings of Yunzhou after all, and he does have some privileges.

During this imperial banquet, two majestic royal ships were set up on the coast to carry the king.

Usually only the thirty-six kings are qualified to board this ship.

The king's ship was luxurious, with its poles and hull covered with exquisitely painted colors. Looking from close up, it looked as majestic as a mountain. I'm afraid it could carry tens of thousands of people.

There were many generals in silver armor guarding the king's ship. They had solemn and majestic faces and did not allow any outsiders to approach the king's ship.

"Cui Baidao, King Cui." Song Changming approached the silver-armored generals and handed over King Cui's token.

Nothing unexpected happened. Upon seeing the token, the generals immediately stepped aside and stood on both sides, allowing King Cui and Song Changming to board the ship without asking too many questions.

The king's boat was equipped with musicians, dancers, and many maids who served him attentively.

As for the passengers on the boat, there were only Song Changming and Cui Wang.

From these details, it can be seen that Emperor Yun has no intention of treating his king harshly, nor does he intend to show off his power over these trivial matters.

King Cui sat on the throne in the boat and happily accepted food from his maid.

Song Changming sat on one side, his attention focused on the many vegetables, fruits, fish and meat on the table.

He discovered that these seemingly ordinary fruits, vegetables, fish and meat contained extremely pure spiritual energy.

Eating this will definitely be of great benefit to the martial arts practice.

"Things that grow in this spiritual sea are naturally endowed with spiritual energy. Even ordinary wild vegetables and fruits are extraordinary. If they are sold, they are worth a lot of spiritual crystals."

King Cui did not close his eyes to rest, and explained to Song Changming, who was there for the first time.

"What an amazing sea area." Song Changming sighed.

He had also seen the mining river in Leicheng before. It contained many mineral resources and was worthy of being called a treasure river.

But compared with the sea in front of us, it is nothing.

Even ordinary wild vegetables and fruits grown in this sea area can contain spiritual energy and become extraordinary.

With just a little thought, you can realize how incredible the value of this sea area itself is.

He even felt that the richness of Shangli Road must be closely related to this treasure sea.

The reason why Emperor Yun established his imperial capital on this sea area is enough to show how much importance the emperor attaches to this spiritual sea area.

"Yes, this sea is indeed extraordinary." King Cui narrowed his eyes and looked at the blue sea outside the boat through the window.

"I heard from my elders that this sea was once inhabited by numerous sea monsters, and the number of large monsters was countless. In order to conquer this sea, Emperor Yun took great pains and sacrificed many powerful human warriors."

"At the time, this was naturally a thankless task, but a hundred years, two hundred years, or even hundreds of years later, the benefits of occupying this sea will surely far outweigh the sacrifices and losses of attacking the sea. Over the years, there are many martial arts masters who have achieved success in this sea."

“I am one of them.”

Song Changming looked at King Cui.

King Cui, as one of the thirty-six kings appointed by Emperor Yun, is naturally not a native of Cuibai Dao.

He must have been the one who often accompanied Emperor Yun and was deeply trusted by him.

From what he said before, it can be heard that King Cui’s respect for Emperor Yun is truly loyal.

Song Changming also gained more verbal knowledge about this place and Emperor Yun through King Cui.

Walking out of the cabin, Song Changming came to the front deck alone and felt the sea breeze.

Although he had lived in this world for seventy or eighty years, he had not felt the sea many times. As far as he could remember, he had never had the opportunity to ride a boat on the sea like this one.

The sky is relatively clear today, with only a few dark clouds floating in the sky.

The sea was calm. July had already entered early autumn and the previous heat had dissipated a little.

The sea breeze is quite comfortable.

The sound of the sea water and the singing of seabirds make people feel relaxed and happy.

In front of us, the big island on the sea was not far away. However, the island was so huge that Song Changming had to look up to see the whole picture of the island even when he was standing on the deck.

Around the island, the tangible spiritual energy kept circling around the island like a snake, swirling around and around, without dispersing at all.

The closer we get, the more spectacular the island seems.

Just at this moment, Song Changming suddenly heard the sound of a horn coming from behind.

Another royal ship sailed towards them against the wind and waves.

Perhaps it was a signal from the people on the boat, and the royal ship soon sailed side by side with the royal ship where Song Changming was.

Song Changming also saw two figures on the deck.

One of them was wearing a wide royal robe, a crown on his head, and a royal pearl around his neck. His outfit was very similar to King Cui.

Obviously, the other party was another king.

As for the man with a sword beside him, he was certainly a great king's entourage like Song Changming.

"Little boy, where is your king?" The man in the royal robe asked calmly when he saw Song Changming.

His voice was not loud, but it penetrated the noise of the sea and fell clearly into Song Changming's ears.

Song Changming was about to answer but was called back by Queen Cui in the boat.

Seeing Song Changming walk into the boat without answering, the man with the sword on the other side immediately became unhappy, and stepped forward, drew his sword and wanted to ask for an explanation.

But he was stopped by the king with a chuckle.

Song Changming was also a little confused, but when he returned to the cabin and saw King Cui with a gloomy face, he felt that there might be some grudge between the two kings that he was not aware of.

Seeing that King Cui had no intention of saying more, he tactfully did not ask any questions.

Not long after, the royal ship approached the huge island on the sea.

There is a large bay outside the island, facing the coastline, where ships can dock.

The royal ship naturally has its own exclusive port of call, and it is also closest to the Yundi City on the island.

Song Changming followed Queen Cui off the boat, and the carriage and coachman were already ready at the side of the boat.

The two of them could even reach Yundi City without even touching the ground.

"Such a rich spiritual energy!" Song Changming could not help but sigh even though he had some ideas. When he entered the bay, the king ship seemed to have entered another independent space.

This space was filled with spiritual energy, making every cell in his pores leap for joy.

In comparison, the Cuibai main city, which he thought had an excellent environment for cultivation, was now like a small earthen city in a barren land.

Too bad.

"Let's go." After getting on the carriage, Song Changming instructed the waiting coachman.

An official road paved with white jade extends all the way up from the bay to Yundi City.

Two carriages were coming towards each other, both wanting to enter this Baiyu Official Road.

For some unknown reason, the two one-horned white horses in the carriage that Song Changming was riding in were suddenly frightened, raised their legs high, and trampled on the oncoming carriage.

This unicorn is not an ordinary cart horse, but a kind of exotic beast.

Its leg strength is so strong that it can easily knock down a lion or elephant!

Therefore, this trampling was actually quite dangerous. If it was not stopped, the opponent's carriage would be directly crushed.

"Be careful!" The driver turned pale with fright, and tried to rein in the horse but couldn't control it.

Normally, this domesticated unicorn rarely loses control, but it was a coincidence that it would happen today.

"presumptuous!"

From the other side's carriage, an extremely sharp sword energy cut a corner of the window cloth and stabbed at the two out-of-control unicorns.

hum!
From the out-of-control carriage, a red blade energy broke through the air and arrived first, shattering the opponent's sword energy.

The powerful force caused the out-of-control unicorn to lose its aim, and its hooves stepped on the official road on the other side.

In the carriage, the man with a sword who had been seen on the king's ship before took a step forward and rushed towards King Cui's carriage with a long sword in hand.

Almost at the same time, Song Changming also appeared outside the carriage, and his appearance was exactly what the man with the sword wanted.

If Song Changming didn't come out, he couldn't really swing his sword at the carriage, after all, there was a king sitting inside.

He cannot attack the king, but he can fight with the opponent's entourage to dampen their fighting spirit.

This is also the reason why he stabbed Song Changming with his sword without hesitation.

clang!
The swords collided in the air, and the red sword energy was swallowed up by the opponent's sword energy. Song Changming raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to retreat more than ten meters, so as not to let the opponent's sword energy damage his new clothes and armor.

As for the man with the sword, although the sword energy suppressed Song Changming's knife energy, he was instead blown away by the huge force of Song Changming's knife and fell directly into the sea.

If he hadn't managed to steady himself in time at the last moment and stepped onto the sea surface, he would have been almost soaked.

"Master of martial arts." Song Changming murmured to himself.

If it weren't for the sword energy of the martial arts master, how could it be possible to defeat his Red Cloud Sword Energy in a single encounter.

There is no doubt that the other party is a martial arts master!
"Are you traveling with a martial arts master?"

Song Changming vaguely felt that the role he played as the king's entourage on this trip might not be that simple.

Otherwise, why would King Cui have to choose carefully between him and the commander-in-chief Hu Donghuo? He could just find a personal guard from his royal army.

The fact that the king before him was accompanied by powerful martial arts masters also confirmed his guess.

The entourage that followed the king in this imperial banquet most likely did not just serve as a background wall, they also needed to do something.

But King Cui had not explained it in detail before, and he did not ask any more questions.

call!
Gao Qiuchi stared at Song Changming, shocked by his terrifying strength. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the aura of a master that had been relatively low-key and restrained was fully revealed.

Just when he was about to unleash his true strength to fight Song Changming again, a voice came from the carriage.

"stop."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Qiuchi's aura of a master suddenly subsided. He landed beside the carriage and calmed down his own unicorn, which was also a little frightened.

"Brother Hu, when did you find this body-refining genius? He hasn't even opened up his purple palace yet, but he has such strength?" The man in the royal robe in the other's carriage said as he slowly walked down.

"What? Last time you bewitched the people around me and left, and Prince Rui wants to do the same again this time?" Prince Cui snorted coldly, walked down, and spoke in a stiff tone.

Seeing that both parties had entered into a king-to-king dialogue, Song Changming put away his knife and stepped aside, no longer trying to intervene.

He caught a glimpse of the other party's entourage from the corner of his eye and saw that this person was also staring at him coldly.

The two sides had just exchanged one move, and even the test was not complete.

But each of them could feel that the other was not easy to deal with. If they really fought, it would surely be a fierce battle with an unpredictable outcome.

"Brother Hu, are you talking about Lin Qi?" King Rui asked in surprise.

"So many years have passed, why do you have to play tricks on me again!" When Prince Cui saw the innocent look on Prince Rui's face, he felt a raging fire in his heart and was furious.

"Brother Hu, I explained to you back then that Lin's hometown is on my Ruijing Road. He suddenly came to me for help, and I couldn't just ignore him and reject him openly." King Rui explained with a faint smile.

"Bullshit!" King Cui cursed.

He knew very well that returning to his hometown was all nonsense, and the other party had used some tricks to snatch his people away.

This Lin Qi was the entourage that King Cui brought to the imperial banquet one year.

But he took it with him and never returned to Cuibai Road with him.

This incident also brought a great blow and trauma to King Cui, and the culprit was the King Rui in front of him, the king in charge of Ruijing Road!

The conflicts between the two had been going on for hundreds of years, one after another, since they started when Chang was practicing with Emperor Yun.

This stealing incident was just one of them.

The conflict had almost reached an irreconcilable point, but fortunately both kings could still distinguish between private grudges and public grudges.

No matter how angry King Cui was, he would not send a large army to force King Rui to surrender.

On the contrary, the same was true for Prince Rui. They all knew very well that Emperor Yun allowed them to make trouble in private and never intervened to stop them.

But if they take revenge on personal grudges, the nature of the matter will change. This will not only be a war between the two places, but Emperor Yun may not necessarily turn a blind eye.

"Besides, Lin Qi's talent and strength are just above average. He is just a qualified general. He is not that amazing. At least he is not as amazing as Gao Qiuchi whom I brought this time."

Every word King Rui said was infuriating and heartbreaking.

King Cui was angry for a while, and just when Song Changming thought that his king was going to take action, King Cui took a deep breath, digested his emotions, and calmed down again.

In the end, he did not act on impulse.

This also made King Rui frown slightly.

"You are right. It's just that a disloyal and mediocre person ran away. He is not as good as the one next to me." King Cui chuckled and returned to the carriage with Song Changming in the lead.

"Brother Rui, see you at the Emperor's Banquet!"
