"As long as the people under him are sensible, we need to rely on them to check those towns." Cen Boqing went to He Palace and cooed, "When Mr. Fan finishes his work, you will see how Tian will come to flatter you."
"I just hope Fan Sheng won't miss again this time."
Cen Boqing smiled heartily: "What are you afraid of? We have the time and advantage. Every day that passes, He Xiao becomes more passive."
Zhong Sunmou thought about it and felt relieved. Based on the current situation, if someone named He wanted to bite them, he would have nowhere to bite them.
Identity is the best barrier.
Even the prince's special envoy from the Chiyan Kingdom can't do anything to them without providing real evidence.
"That's right." He glanced at the Xuanpin on the table, feeling a little regretful, "I also have to thank him for the gift. It's just a pity about the mirror shield."
That magical weapon is an excellent defensive treasure, which is perfect for him. If Fan Sheng kills He Xiao, the mirror shield will be a trophy for everyone, and it has nothing to do with Zhongsun Mou.
...
He Lingchuan is not a decathlete, and his rowing skills are very poor. Fortunately, he is working with a soldier under Lu Dutong, the famous Jia Yu. Before becoming a soldier, he was a local fisherman in Tommy Township. He can row a boat through rapids and walk around.
The Lotus Palace and the like are out of the question.
Jia Yu taught him the tricks while rowing. After He Lingchuan tried it a few times, he gradually got the hang of it and the boat speed greatly increased.
The water here is gentle, and the test is nothing more than the contestants' ability to recognize the road.
Of course, the most important thing is tone.
But He Lingchuan had cheating tools in hand and decided to rely on strength rather than luck to win————
He can determine the location of the treasure based on the heating status of the divine bone necklace.
Assume that the treasure recognized by the sacred bones is the "Overlord Lotus".
As he approached the Lotus Palace, He Lingchuan realized what the infinite green lotus leaves in the sky meant. It was indeed a whole forest of lotus leaves.
The lotus leaves formed one high green wall after another. The boat sailed in and soon lost its way.
Not to mention the people in the boat, even if the spectators on the Chaohu Tower are condescending, they probably cannot see the specific situation in the maze.
"How did you find Overlord Lotus in the past?" He Lingchuan asked Jia Yu, "Can we ask the Shui Tribe for help?
"It won't work." Jia Yu said, "For the sake of fairness, all aquatic tribes have to leave after cleaning up the duckweeds. Only then will the king lotus grow. And the lotus harvesting competition is only open to humans."
"Why don't these aquatic tribes retreat? "The fish and turtles are all hiding in the water, so they are not easy to be found, right?
"The local water spirit is the lotus demon who is more than 200 years old. It will pay close attention to the situation on the playing field." Jia Yu tried his best to push the boat. "In the past, sixty or seventy people cheated. They all did not believe in evil, but they were all caught by it."
With heavy punishment, no one will be so arrogant in the future.
He Lingchuan shrugged: "That's good."
This lotus demon has very powerful magic power. It takes a few days to grow such a dense lotus palace on the water surface.
The widest part of the waterway in the maze is less than two feet, so the boat can basically only row forward, with no place to turn; and the narrowest part is only five feet, so the boat has to squeeze to pass.
As soon as we entered the maze, everything was quiet.
Only the sounds of other boats paddling and people talking came from nowhere.
Going east, Qing Lingchuan said meaningfully, "Yes, walk ten feet forward."
Jia Yuqi asked: "Do you know what Ba Lian looks like?
"Uh, I don't know." He only knew that he was not in position because the sacred bone necklace was quite hot.
"It's a huge blood-red lotus bud with golden stripes on its surface."
"Blood red..." He Lingchuan looked around and found that there were lotus buds waiting to bloom everywhere, with branches reaching into the sky, also called lotus arrows. In addition to the most common water red, there are also light pink and light purple.
, pink and white, light green, really colorful.
Finding a blood-red lotus bud among tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of lotus buds is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. You must know that the lotus arrows are not blooming, and most of them have green calyxes. You may miss them just by looking at them.
Jia Yu just looked around, hating himself for missing a few pairs of eyes.
"Generally speaking, there are rarely overlord lotuses on the outermost periphery and in the middle of the Lotus Palace." He murmured, "We have to search more in the middle of the maze. Can you remember the waterway?"
"Barely enough." He Lingchuan asked curiously, "How do you know there are very few in between?"
"In the past few decades, we have only found it seven times."
"Really?" He Lingchuan looked towards the north, "Don't worry about it, just follow me."
"What can you do?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "If I can figure it out, it's better than you searching aimlessly."
Jia Yu became happy and said, "Okay! I will row wherever you point."
The boat walked for a while and got stuck deep in the maze.
The setting of the Lotus Palace is also very bad. The scenery at both ends of the channel is often exactly the same, so you can't find the north at all after rowing back and forth a few times.
Especially on such a cloudy day, you can't even use the sun in the sky to locate your position.
It was quiet all around, except for two silly frogs occasionally jumping out of the water.
The sacred bone necklace suddenly became hot, and He Lingchuan let out a cry.
Their boat was rowing very slowly, and they were about to make a small U-turn. Why did the necklace suddenly get so hot?
Has the goal become further away?
After the Overlord Lotus grows, it should stay put. Could it be that the sacred bone necklace points to something else?
Don't, don't trick him, three pieces of Xuanjing are still being kept in Chaohu Tower!
He Lingchuan suddenly felt that his head was as big as a bucket.
But he had no other choice but to ask Jia Yu to turn around again and head straight north.
This special envoy often made the boat turn around, and Jia Yu was used to it. He only obeyed and didn't talk too much.
Fortunately, nothing happened to the divine bone necklace, and the direction was very clear.
The further He Lingchuan advances, the lower its heat becomes.
"Keep your eyes open." He reminded Jia Yu, "It should be around here."
As expected, Jia Yu looked around for fear of missing something.
At this time, less than three-quarters of an hour had passed since the start of the race. He Lingchuan and the two had already reached the northeast corner of the maze. There were fewer and fewer boats on the road, and now they were only accompanied by the chirping of insects and frogs.
As Jia Yu said, everyone doesn't like the edge location and feels that the possibility of finding Overlord Lotus here is too small.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But the divine bone necklace leads here.
"There!" Jia Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed, almost jumping with excitement.
After participating in the competition for six years and running with her every year, he never found the Overlord Lotus in the maze.
"Shh!" He Lingchuan pointed in front of his lips, telling him to calm down, "Pull across, hurry up."
There are hundreds of large and small lotus arrows among the layers of lotus walls. One of them is blood red with two thin golden lines on the surface. Because it has not bloomed yet, the lines are particularly inconspicuous.
It's hard for Jia Yu to still find it.
Mao Lingchuan's heart beat faster than expected. This thing is worth fifty thousand taels of silver.
The mirror chuckled twice: "Have you already thought about it, if someone else finds it first, you will seize the lotus with a sword?"
If this guy hadn't caught it, the loss would have been one hundred thousand taels!
How can a person who is not rich be able to afford such a situation?
No." He Lingchuan whispered, "Even if I lose, Zhongsun Mou can't take my money.
He smiled so confidently and sinisterly that the mirror actually shuddered, as if it was back to the time when He Lingchuan was plotting against it.
The boat was moving forward rapidly, but before Jia Yu could stop it, he plunged into the water with a knife in his mouth.
The essence of grabbing lottery chips is just one word:
quick!
He went to find Bawang Lian, and He Lingchuan also waited with bated breath.
There were two popping sounds, and the lotus leaf suddenly swayed left and right, startling both of them.
