The cold wind howled like a cold knife. The waves were rolling and lapping at the shore.
When Ling Tian and Xiao Xue walked onto the deck, they were seen by Ning Yue who was standing at the door of the cabin. Ning Yue saw that Xiaoxue and Ling Tian had arrived on the deck, so she turned her body slightly and said expressionlessly to the man in black next to her: "Well, our people are all here, you can give the order now and we can sail the ship. ."
When the man in black saw Ning Yue get out of the way of the ship, he slightly glanced at Xiao Xue and Ling Tian on the deck, and quickly said to Ning Yue with joy on his face: "Okay, miss, please wait a moment, I will go and order them right away." Let's sail." After saying that, he hurriedly left and rushed to the bottom of the cabin. This man in black is a member of the Ningyue sect stationed in the imperial capital, so he naturally knows Ningyue¡¯s identity!
Ning Yue not only possesses the cultivation level of an immortal, but is also a close disciple of the master, and is very favored by the master. As long as Ning Yue is well served, Ning Yue can say a few nice words in front of the leader, which will naturally be of great benefit to him. Now that Ning Yue asked him to sail the ship, how could he dare to neglect it?
The man in black just left. Ling Tian and Xiao Xue entered the cabin from the deck. Ningyue saw that the two of them had arrived, so she took a step forward, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Brother Tian, ??let's go to the cabin and rest first. I have already given the order and the ship will sail immediately.
"Okay! Let's go to the cabin and sit for a while." Ling Tian agreed happily.
There are three levels of cabin, each level is very large and the decoration is extremely luxurious. The first floor is where the sailors who sail the ship live, and the second floor is a huge hall dedicated to resting. The third floor is divided into many small rooms, which are places for sleeping and resting.
Ningyue led the two of them into the gate, walked up the wooden ladder on the left side of the gate, and prepared to rest in the hall on the second floor. The hall on the second floor is very large. It is extremely luxurious and decorated with splendid splendor. It is not far behind the halls of some small family mansions in the imperial capital.
After the three people entered the hall, they found that the hall was very stuffy and the air circulation was very poor, which made people very uncomfortable. So Ning Yue stepped forward and opened all four windows on both sides of the cabin. After the window is opened, the river breeze blowing on the river blows into the face, bringing in fresh air, which makes people feel refreshed.
However, it was the middle of winter at this time, and the river breeze was slightly chilly, causing the temperature in the cabin to drop sharply, and it was basically the same as the outside temperature. Although the temperature dropped, the three of them didn't care. Because the three of them were all innate masters with the lowest cultivation level, they were already invulnerable to cold and heat, so naturally they would not pay attention to the mere cold.
Ling Tian sat by the window and looked at the wide river, seeing the waves rolling on the river, gradually flowing into the distance layer by layer. The river was full of boats, and in the distance there was a faint shadow of the Imperial City Tower, but because it was too far away, it was not very clear.
Ling Tian stared intently at the looming imperial capital towers in the distance, with a firm look in his eyes, and swore in his heart: "Imperial Capital, I will come back! When I come back, it will be the time when the dog emperor will be decapitated!" Just as Ling Tian When Tian An made up his mind, the ship's hull shook, but the ship had already started to move slowly.
Since there are a lot of boats on the river near the pier, if it travels at high speed, it is very likely to collide with other boats, so the boat will travel very slowly at first. Far away from the dock, the river becomes wider and the number of ships on the river gradually decreases. Only then did the ship begin to speed up.
This river is called Liuyun River. It is the largest and longest river in the Chinese Empire. Its source is in the Black Dragon Empire, runs through the entire Chinese Empire, and flows to the Tianfeng Kingdom, which borders the southern part of the Chinese Empire. The general terrain of Piaoxue Continent is high in the north and low in the south. The same is true for the Chinese Empire. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south. Therefore, the Liuyun River is quite turbulent due to the undulating terrain.
Starting from the Imperial Capital Pier and heading south, the wind and water were smooth along the way. The sails of the ship were inflated by the river wind, and the driving force was extremely strong, so the ship traveled very fast, even a little faster than the speed of horses on land. When it was almost dark, the ship had left the imperial capital and arrived at a county in the central part of the Chinese Empire.
At this time, Ling Tian stood outside the cabin, looking at the vast mountains on both sides of the river bank. They were already a little blurry, but their outlines could be faintly seen. By this time, the boat had reached the mountainous area, and the water in the river was even more turbulent. The sound of gurgling water kept ringing, and it reached Ling Tian's ears very clearly.
While Ling Tian was standing outside the cabin, blowing the river breeze, looking at the mountains on both sides of the river, and meditating, Ning Yue slowly walked out of the cabin. He saw Ling Tian standing outside the cabin, holding on to the boat pole and staring blankly into the distance. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked to Ling Tian. He asked with some confusion: "Brother Tian, ??it's dark, what are you still looking at?"
Lingtian stood motionless, looking at the rushing water in the river, and said thoughtfully: "Sister Ningyue, we have now left the imperial capital."It¡¯s already inside. "He didn't know much about the geographical divisions within the Chinese Empire, so he had to ask Ningyue, hoping that Ningyue would know.
Seeing Ling Tian ask this question, Ning Yue glanced at the surrounding mountains, thought for a moment, pointed to the towering mountains on the left bank with her jade finger, and said with a smile: "Brother Tian, ??we have already left the imperial capital. . As long as you pass this mountain, you will arrive at Lizhou Prefecture."
"Lizhou Mansion?" Ling Tian pondered. He had studied the general history of the mainland and some other geographical anomalies, and he was familiar with Lizhou Mansion, but he had never walked through this water area before, so he could not recognize it.
As far as he knows, as long as you get to Lizhou Mansion and then go down the river, if nothing happens, it will only take about three days to leave the Huaxia Empire and reach the Tianfeng Kingdom. Arrive at Tianfeng Kingdom. Then turn to the Liusha River and follow the Liusha River directly to the Piaoyun Mountains.
"Well, after arriving at Lizhou Mansion, the number of ships in the river will decrease a lot, and we can speed up by then. If nothing happens, we can leave the Huaxia Empire and reach the Tianfeng Kingdom in about three days." Ningyue glanced at the river. The surging waves said to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian understood this, so he agreed and said: "It's much better when we get to Tianfeng Kingdom. Recently, the Chinese Empire has been strict with investigations. It's so annoying! Our ship has been intercepted several times along the way. It's really annoying. ." At the end of his speech, Ling Tian also showed an impatient look on his face.
"It's a pity that he can't do anything."
It is not appropriate for him to confront the Chinese Empire head-on now, so he can only endure it for now! Finding a way to leave the Chinese Empire as soon as possible and head to the Piaoxue Mountains is the most important thing to do now.
Ning Yue was also helpless. Although she was an immortal and had a respected status, the Chinese Empire did not dare to blatantly inspect her ship before. But this time the prince of the Chinese Empire was killed, and more than ten innate worshipers were killed. They were shamed by the whole Chinese Empire, and even Emperor Liu Che personally took action.
Emperor Wu Liu Che took action and took charge of the Chinese Empire. He personally ordered all major waterways and land checkpoints near the imperial capital to be tightly sealed. Even those in the monastic community had to be interrogated.
Therefore, even her ships must still be subject to inspection.
After all, Emperor Wu Liu Che is also considered a master in the monastic world and cannot be offended easily. What's more, all the major monastic sects are inextricably linked to the Chinese Empire, and it is even more impossible to oppose the Emperor Liu Che over trivial matters.
Although the monastic world is higher than the secular world, it originates from the secular world and is closely connected with the secular world. Unless absolutely necessary, no monastic sect is willing to offend the Chinese Empire. Of course, the Chinese Empire will not be stupid enough to offend the monastic sect easily. The two have always maintained a delicate balance.
Therefore, Ningyue and Lingtian can only endure it for now. When they leave the territory of the Chinese Empire, the sea will naturally be wide for fish to leap, and the sky will be high for birds to fly. No matter how powerful the Chinese Empire is, it is still beyond its reach.
Just when the two of them were a little worried, the sky had completely darkened, and the surroundings were pitch black. Only some light coming from the cabin brought a glimmer of light outside the dark cabin.
Suddenly, streaks of strong light shot out, shining on the open space outside the cabin, but it was Xiaoxue who pushed open the cabin door. Xiaoxue just walked out of the cabin. A gust of cold wind rushed towards her face, and the biting cold air made her frown. So he quickly walked up to the two of them and said, "Miss, Mr. Ling, it's getting dark now, and it's about to start snowing again. Why are you still staying outside to enjoy the cool breeze?"
Ling Tian saw that it was indeed getting late, the cold wind was roaring around him, and the temperature was much lower than during the day, so he smiled and said: "Just take a look at the scenery, and we will go in later!"
Ning Yue saw that Ling Tian said he would go in later, so she also said: "Xiaoxue, Brother Tian and I will go in later. You go and prepare the food first!"
"We'll go in later" Xiaoxue's smart eyes moved around twice, first she glanced at Ling Tian, ??then she looked at Ning Yue with a smile, and said thoughtfully. Especially the last word "ah" is extremely long, and the meaning contained in it is self-evident.
Ningyue has stayed with Xiaoxue since she was a child. Seeing Xiaoxue's thoughtful expression, it is obvious that there is something behind her words. After thinking about it for a while, he knew what Xiaoxue meant, and immediately Xiafei said with shame on his cheeks: "Damn girl, what are you talking about? Go in and prepare food quickly, I'm starving!"
Seeing Ningyue¡¯s charming look, Xiaoxue covered her mouth with her sleeves and smiled: ¡°Miss, the food has been prepared a long time ago. If you don¡¯t go in to eat, it will get cold later, so you¡¯d better go in quickly!¡±
Ling Tian stood aside and watched the two playing with a smile, without any intention of interfering. In fact, he did not hear anything in Xiaoxue's words. But when Xiaoxue said that the food was ready, he was a little hungry at this time, so he smiled and said: "Sister Ningyue, sinceThe food is ready, so let¡¯s go in! "
¡°Yeah!¡± Ningyue responded, and then she and Ling Tian drank Xiaoxue and entered the cabin to prepare for dinner.
