Chapter 266

Seeing that the Xuanhua family has such a large scale, Qingxia couldn't help but also began to look forward to the so-called three colors of Haicheng.At this time, I suddenly heard someone beside me humming coldly, the voice was very cold, with a touch of anger and disdain.Qing Xia raised her head, and saw Chu Li wearing a lake-colored robe, black hair gathered behind her, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall and straight figure, no joy or anger could be seen on her face, but her eyes were pitch black, slightly half-closed Looking at the field, there are faint traces of sharp edges flickering.

Qing Xia sighed slightly, not to mention that the southeast had just fallen, the Eastern Qi royal family was wiped out, and the Qi army was defeated by Chu.It is said that a few days ago, many counties along the coast were hit by typhoons, food was flooded, and people were displaced and suffered countless deaths and injuries.However, these aristocratic families are still desperate for extravagance, singing and dancing, and using their wealth in places that should not be used. The Eastern Qi royal family has allowed these people to mess around in front of their eyes for so many years. It is no wonder that they will perish so easily.Occupying a great country in vain but not knowing how to use it, and finally playing games, how can there be no reason for invincibility?Now that these people have become the subjects of Chuli, their life will not be too easy.Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head lightly.

"The lights are dim at night, Master Xia Qinghou offered three hundred sticks of wax as fuel for starting the fire."

There was a sudden shout on the high platform, and all the people could not help but sneer. Wax has been used for many generations by merchants fighting for wealth in the Eastern Qi Dynasty. One of the chaebols, this shot is really stingy.

At this moment, suddenly heard a burst of exclamation from behind, Qing Xia and Chu Li squeezed into the crowd, and turned their heads immediately.On the huge market, there are eight huge sea turtles crawling slowly and majesticly. On the back of each sea turtle is a man, old or young, all in green clothes and small coats, who seems to be tame. The man of the beast, carrying towering candles on the back of the turtle, each one is two stories high, a full seven or eight meters high, the candles flickering, the light flickering, the momentum is astonishing.

There were too many horrors tonight, looking at the eight giant tortoises, Qing Xia couldn't help but marvel at the generosity of the rich clans along the southeast coast.This tortoise is on the verge of extinction in modern times. She was lucky enough to see it once in a tribe in the primitive jungle of Africa. This tortoise is also called the giant tortoise.The lifespan of this tortoise can indeed reach thousands of years, and the huge body can be shaped like a modern truck. Moreover, they can also allow themselves to sleep for several years without eating or moving, breathing intermittently, and the heart can stop beating , all functions of the body are temporarily stopped, including the spread of disease and the aging of life.

Huang Minyue, the colonel of MI11, used to be her boudoir close friend. The two were classmates in the same class when they were studying in the military academy. , but the relationship has been very good.The two belonged to the state secret organization, so Huang Minyue only revealed some things to her.

The news that there was a giant tortoise in a tribe in Africa caused quite a stir in various countries. On the surface, the countries kept quiet, but in private they sent elite spies and agents there, trying to get the giant tortoise full of secrets. Take it for yourself.Qingxia and eight comrades went through life and death together, and finally only snatched some hair and feces from the giant tortoise in the end for more than three months. It took a lot of effort to return the feces to the country.As for the extent of the research on immortality in the 11 places later, she didn't know.

I didn't expect to see this precious giant turtle here again today, and there were eight of them at one time, it really made Qing Xia, who used to take a pile of feces as a treasure, dizzy.Then, before the excitement passed, Xia Qinghou's three hundred candles were placed on both sides of the long street, Qing Xia looked over, and saw that all the three hundred candles were actually wax figurines. The imitation of human figures is well done. There are graceful women, handsome scholars, white-bearded and white-haired teachers, and naughty and laughing children. All of them are dressed in silk and satin, or holding books, or drinking from pots, or Covering their faces with green fans, each one is lifelike, as if they were real people.

The common people were all stunned, and suddenly they only heard the order from the servants of the Xia Mansion, and the servants on both sides of the long street lit the fire on the wax figurines together.In an instant, the voices of distress and regret can be heard endlessly.All three hundred wax figurines cheered loudly, the center of the square was guarded by aniseed tortoises, the long street was brightly lit, and cheers continued.

The middle-aged man on the high platform smiled and said: "Master Zhu added a name to Master Xia's work, and it is called Wanmin Gathering Firewood."

When Qing Xia heard this, she curled her lips into a smile, raised her head halfway and said to Chu Li: "Wanmin collects firewood with high flames, they are selling the imperial court's face."

Chu Li smiled inscrutablely, but didn't speak.At this time, suddenly several men beside him shouted loudly, pushed Qing Xia's body, and squeezed forward.Qing Xia might as well for a while, but was pushed staggered by them, Chu Li frowned suddenly, quickly stopped Qing Xia in his arms, turned his head and glared.Le Song, Song Yang and the others saw their master being pushed around, that's okay, they all stepped forward and lay in front of Qing Xia and Chu Li, their eyes were red, looking like they were looking for someone to fight.

"My lord, I'm really sorry. My servant doesn't understand the rules and offended me." Qing Jun's voice suddenly sounded, and Qing Xia turned her head to look, only to see a man in purple clothes, quite handsome in appearance, but Although he apologized in his mouth, the expression and tone did not mean to apologize at all.Chu Li was even angrier when he saw this, he narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and was about to step forward.

Qing Xia grabbed him, turned her head and said: "It's okay, this young master please go ahead."

The man gave Chu Li a mocking look, then turned around and walked forward swaggeringly with his servants.

Chu Li's eyes were gloomy, and his eyes could almost shoot out fire, but Qing Xia couldn't help laughing, she stood on tiptoe and leaned into his ear and said, "I said, Your Majesty the Emperor, is it possible that you want to fight with these ordinary people here? A fight? I'd be happy to see it come to fruition, if you get caught and taken to the Wucheng army after a fight, and your whereabouts are exposed, I don't have to follow you all the way to the northern grasslands to suffer."

After hearing this, Chu Li turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and hummed faintly: "You think beautifully."

Qing Xia chuckled, opened the fan with a snap, and it happened that there was a big tree next to it.The woman was wearing a man's long robe, leaning on the tree trunk, waving her fan, and said with a smile: "The business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, and she still sings flowers across the river. These people have no concept of family and country in their hearts, and none of them care about the past. You See, you should be happy."

Chu Li knew that she was trying to make him happy in a different way, and he really felt that he was a little bored when he was angry, so he couldn't help chuckling, turned his head away, and didn't look at her snickering face.

At this moment, they suddenly heard the shouting on the Taichang Pond, and everyone turned their heads to look, but there were hundreds of boatmen on the shore shouting in unison. The Taichang Chili was pulled away.On the bow of the boat, a woman in red clothes stood with her head held high, her temperament was fierce, her eyebrows and eyes were frosty, she was charming and charming, but also contained sharpness.The townsfolk on the side immediately shouted: "It's the red lady with willow eyebrows, and Bai Yincai is here."

The nearest port from Taichang Lake to Haishi is only separated by Canglang Mountain, the water is small and shallow, and it is okay to moor some flower boats, but it is difficult to drive such a big boat suddenly.If it weren't for those big men pulling desperately, the big ship would surely sink.However, at this moment, all the boatmen who were pulling the boat suddenly let go of their hands at the same time, only to hear a loud hula, and the shocking lake water rose up, and the whistling sound was like ten thousand horses galloping, setting off huge white waves.The people on both sides of the strait exclaimed in unison, for fear that the lake would overflow and flood the houses on both sides.Qing Xia's eyes were sharp, her brows furrowed, she only heard the emptying of rocks in the direction of Canglang Mountain, there was a loud bang, as if something exploded, and the lake water all over the sky suddenly seemed to find its direction, and rushed away in unison.

Qing Xia was taken aback, but happy in her heart, the people around her were all as if they were facing a big enemy, but she smiled and said to Chu Li: "This red lady can be a man, she opened up the bottom of Canglang Mountain. From then on, this Taichang Pond is another port for berthing ships, and it also has the Canglangshan sluice, so we are no longer afraid of the raging typhoon outside."

Chu Li frowned a little when he heard the words, how great it was to get through Canglang Mountain, and the black guards didn't even get the slightest word. It can be seen that the soldiers of Southern Chu still haven't taken root in the southeast coast, and they don't know enough about these wealthy and famous families.

Haicheng Sancai has already appeared for the second time, the next one to appear is the emperor's steward Jin Shaohuang and Mr. Jin, Qing Xia looked around, but didn't hear the slightest sound, she couldn't help frowning, she didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a familiar laugh came suddenly, and Qing Xia raised her head, and saw Dongfang Li in an official robe, standing on a high platform, with a long beard and white hair, and a graceful demeanor, and said with a smile; "Mr. As for this, it's just that even this official doesn't know what the name is, so let Mr. Jin solve the riddle by himself."

As soon as the voice fell, the faint and crisp sound of the flute sounded immediately, like the willow silk in early spring and March across the green lake. Although it is just the sound, it has a melodious feeling that nourishes the heart and lungs.Qing Xia turned her head to look, and saw a blue painted boat approaching slowly on Taichang Lake in the distance, on the painted boat, two boys stood aside, one played the flute, the other played the zither, their clothes fluttered, standing against the wind, upside down Like a banished fairy, it floats out of the dust.At the stern of the boat, there are four boat girls in green clothes, each of them is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with curved eyebrows, pink face and peach cheeks, bare feet like snow, and their white hands holding their haggard hands, they are gradually approaching the shore.
