Chapter 606 Let me show you a big treasure!
"I didn't expect your thing to be so stable. It's much more comfortable than riding in a carriage." Old Xuan leaned back comfortably on the soft seat behind Ye Nanxiao, holding a wine gourd in his left hand and a large chicken leg in his right. He took a bite of chicken and a sip of wine, looking quite relaxed.
"The reason it's designed to float is to reduce bumps and friction on the road, which will make it faster, but it will also consume more energy." Ye Nanxiao stared intently at the crystal window in front of him. The 180-degree panoramic view allowed him to see the surrounding scenery clearly at a glance.
The fact that it was suspended off the ground made Xingzhou No. 1 move extremely smoothly, which made Elder Xuan feel drowsy.
"This feels just as comfortable as the imperial carriage of that old emperor of Xingluo back in the day! It's just a bit lacking in side dishes. Xiao boy, could you get me some food?" Elder Xuan asked.
Ye Nanxiao turned around and glared at Elder Xuan, saying, "You even stole the emperor's carriage back in the day, didn't you?"
As expected of the renowned Taotie Douluo, he doesn't even give face to the emperor.
"If you want some food, you'll have to go up to the passenger floor. This is the driver's seat!"
"There's plenty of room on the deck for your barbecue grill. You can start preparing dinner now. I'd like some grilled squid skewers later!" Ye Nanxiao said.
"The deck? I'm not going there! Young Yuan is being carried on the deck right now! I, an old man, will not disturb the private space of the young couple!" As he spoke, Elder Xuan took out a small wooden table from his storage ring and placed it there.
"You're really eating here? Do you have meat buns? I want some!" Ye Nanxiao's salty personality meant that if you couldn't stop someone from enjoying themselves, then go ahead and enjoy it.
"We finished the meat buns yesterday, do you want some rice balls?"
"Hurry up and give me one! Yuanzi and Luo Xinyao are scattering candy on the deck! I'm getting hungry just looking at them!" Two icy hands grew from behind Ye Nanxiao, replacing his hands as he gripped the steering wheel and reached out to take the oversized rice ball that Elder Xuan handed him.
The bridge is located on the upper half of the passenger deck. In order to have a clear view of the bow of the ship, Ye Nanxiao simply made the floor under his feet transparent, so that he could see the situation on the passenger deck below by looking down.
Meanwhile, Shen Ciyuan was being pressed against the floor-to-ceiling glass of the deck by Luo Xinyao, and they were having a heart-to-heart talk.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was munching on a rice ball while driving, Jia Yi's voice suddenly came from the upper left speaker.
"Mr. Xu, Miss asked us to inquire how long it will take to reach Wucheng," Jia Yi's voice came.
Ye Nanxiao wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "If we go at full speed, we should arrive around night. If we're unlucky, it might be late at night. Anyway, there are a few small guest rooms on the boat."
Wucheng is next to Tiandou City, and the distance between Tiandou City and Zhengtian City is almost half of the Tianhun Empire. In addition, there are many forests blocking the way, so you have to take a detour when you encounter these forests.
"No, no, Mr. Xu, I didn't come here to urge you. It's just that Miss said you should drive slowly so she can enjoy her vacation." Jia Yi's slightly helpless voice came from behind.
Silence fell over the driver's cab.
"I told you I didn't want to go to the deck, but luckily your place is soundproof." Old Master Xuan happily ate a whole roasted chicken.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the lower deck, where the two had already set up a large table and begun to enjoy lunch for two.
"Hey! You two! This is my boat! Only I get to give out candy! Want to feed me candy? Full speed ahead!" Ye Nanxiao took a big bite of the rice ball in his hand, and slammed his rice-covered hand onto the control handle in front of him.
The speed of Xingzhou-1 has increased significantly again.
Nighttime, at the gate of Wucheng.
Six soldiers stood guard at the gate of Wucheng, chatting and laughing with each other while holding small wine jugs, their weapons casually placed against the wall.
"Old Chen, why did the battalion commander specifically order us to close the city gates tightly tonight and not let anyone through?" a soldier asked.
The soldier known as Old Chen shrugged, picked up his flask, took a leisurely sip, and said, "What else could it be? The battalion commander has obviously been bribed. As for which family he took the bribe from, it's useless for us to find out. The battalion commander isn't going to share the money with us anyway. We should just obediently follow the battalion commander's orders to avoid making trouble for ourselves!"
Old Chen's words immediately dampened the remaining group's intense curiosity.
Yes, the team leader is the one who gets the benefits; they don't get any, so why bother asking?
"Even if we knew, it would only make us feel worse." Old Chen was very open-minded. It was better for them, the lowly ones, to know as little as possible about their superiors accepting gifts and doing work.
"But Old Chen, if someone bribed the captain to do this, does it mean some important person is coming tonight?" another soldier asked worriedly, glancing at the dark horizon in the distance from time to time.
"No need to guess, brother. There will definitely be some big shot coming. Even if it's not tonight, it will be within the next couple of days. Otherwise, why would they suddenly lock the city gates? It's obvious they just want to cause us trouble!" Old Chen pretended to be nonchalant, but in reality, he was keeping an eye on the main road in front of the city gate.
A silent middle-aged soldier suddenly spoke up, "Then aren't we just the bottom-tier fish in the first round? Left here, we'll inevitably bear the brunt of one side's wrath, no matter what?"
The middle-aged soldier's words immediately angered the group.
"Why should we work ourselves to the bone just because he keeps the benefits for himself?"
"Exactly! We don't get any of the benefits!"
When the hidden deal was exposed, the soldiers panicked, but Old Chen remained calm.
"What's the rush? Let's look at it from another angle. We're just soldiers guarding the city. What's the difference in cultivation levels between us? We're just Soul Venerables and Soul Sect Masters. If some important figure shows up, we'll just put on a show and play dead!"
"If no big shot comes, we can just have a few drinks tonight and wait for the shift change tomorrow morning. But if a big shot really comes, we can't handle him anyway. We can just symbolically stop him a few times. If he's a big shot, wouldn't he just slap us all away?"
"Besides, I noticed a couple of days ago that the bolts on the city gate were rusted and would probably need to be replaced soon. I even reported this to the battalion commander!"
Old Chen gave a knowing smile, instantly easing the worries of the soldiers.
"If you ever get promoted, I'll have to treat you to a good drink at the Hong Kong Coliseum!" The middle-aged soldier patted Old Chen on the shoulder with a smile.
As the group drank and made merry until late into the night, Old Chen suddenly spotted what appeared to be a giant beast crouching in the distance.
Old Chen quickly rubbed his eyes, put down the wine jug in his hand, stood up, and leaned over the city wall.
A few seconds later, Old Chen saw a "giant beast" that was glowing all over its body slowly crawling toward the city gate.
"Old monster! Get ready to play dead! Old Qi, go and tell the captain that we can't hold out any longer!" Old Chen shouted quickly, and the men behind him sprang into action, making battle marks on their armor.
Xingzhou No. 1.
Elder Xuan slowly lifted the No. 1 boat and drifted leisurely toward the gate of Wucheng.
"You're quite heavy, aren't you? You've worn this old man out! You absolutely have to pay the bill tonight, kid!" Old Master Xuan shouted.
"No way! It was clearly you who didn't want to take a detour and just lifted Xingzhou No. 1 and flew over here! Don't blame me!" Ye Nanxiao squatted on the bow of the ship, supporting his face with his hands.
It's just that the last main road requires going through a large forest and taking a detour!
Why would Elder Xuan send Xingzhou No. 1, along with its crew, flying over here?
Looking at the various soul-guided lights illuminating the city gate in the distance, Ye Nanxiao patted the glass window beneath him, signaling the two people inside, who were like conjoined twins, to wake up and get to work.
A moment later, Jia Yi arrived at Ye Nanxiao's side, holding a large flag with the character "Luo" written on it.
Old Chen, who was secretly observing from the city wall, was shocked when he saw the Luo family's flag. According to the information he had gathered, the captain had accepted bribes from the Luo family head to have them close the city gates. So why was the Luo family's troops appearing on the other side?
The latest novel is first published here!
"Internal family conflict!" Old Chen thought instantly.
In just a few seconds, Old Chen had already completed a whole plan for seizing power within the family.
The middle-aged soldier also saw the Luo family flag fluttering in the wind on the opposite side. He came to the city gate, flicked his finger at the bolt, and the rusted bolt shattered instantly.
"Mr. Jia, why is the city gate still closed?" Ye Nanxiao asked, pointing to the still tightly closed city gate opposite.
"Perhaps Young Master Luo Yan returned before us, after all, they flew back back then," Jia Yi said thoughtfully.
Those that fly in the sky are twice as fast as those that run on land, because they don't have to take detours.
Jia Yi immediately asked Luo Xinyao for instructions on what they should do.
"Hit it," Luo Xinyao replied simply.
Jia Yi repeated Luo Xinyao's words and looked at Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao stared at the city gate for a while, then said to Elder Xuan, "Elder Xuan, since the city gate is blocked, let's take off!"
This is my boat, it's freshly painted, if it gets damaged, it'll be my own heartache.
The Luo family mansion.
Luo Qian looked at Luo Yan, whose face was wrapped in many bandages, and his eyes were filled with rising anger.
However, Luo Ya, who was sitting in the main seat, closed his eyes to rest and did not look at Luo Yan at all.
After waking up and healing his injuries, Luo Yan immediately brought the soul tool he bought from Yuheng Tower and invited Luo Qian and the clan elders to the main hall.
As the person in charge of the ancestral affairs, Luo Ya naturally had to hear what Luo Yan had to report.
"Ancestors! Clan Chiefs! Elders, please look! These are the soul tools I brought back from Zhengtian City on this trip!" Luo Yan deliberately kept everyone in suspense, taking out two Type 3 soul tool pistols from among the many soul tools.
"Yan'er, is this all?" Luo Qian glanced at Luo Ya with some alarm and quickly asked.
"Of course not! Next, let these people demonstrate!"
Luo Yan clapped his hands and summoned several servants.
When these servants picked up the Type 3 Soul Guidance Pistols, the elders all frowned. "Luo Yan, do you think we old men are all brainless? How can commoners use soul guidance devices without soul power?"
"No, even ordinary people without soul power can use soul tools!" Luo Yan shouted, spreading his arms wide.
Immediately afterwards, several servants pulled the triggers on the artificial hill outside the door, and several soul-guided rays flew out.
The main hall fell silent, and even Luo Ya opened his eyes.
"Yes! Yes! That's it! Cheers for me!" Luo Yan took in everyone's reactions and felt extremely pleased.
Just then, a huge black shadow fell from the sky, scaring away several servants.
"What's going on!" Luo Yan shouted, this was his crucial performance moment!
"I'll show you a real gem!"
A loud shout made Luo Yan raise his head, his pupils instantly shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
"Boom!~"
The Xingzhou No. 1 landed in the outer courtyard of the Luo family's main hall, raising a large amount of dust.
