The king of Pu Duan Kingdom walked down the spiral staircase step by step
He was wearing a white robe, which was full of drape, and his movements showed endless majesty. The female soldiers on both sides looked stern and straightened their backs.
On his head, there was a white gauze mask, and his face was hidden behind the white gauze mask. He could not see clearly. He only had two eyes. From behind the veil, he shot at me from time to time, shooting out a stream of light.
I stood there without moving. The two women in gorgeous clothes who brought me up walked over and stood with hands hanging on both sides of the throne. There were only two of us men in the huge hall. Is it possible for a king to have no civil and military officials?
He had already descended the spiral staircase, turned around the throne, lifted up his white robe and sat on it, looking down at me intently without saying a word.
I looked at him for more than half a minute without saying anything. I have seen this kind of trick many times. If I speak first, I will lose.
I looked around, not even looking at him. There was still no reaction on the throne.
Well, I started to leave him behind and wandered around, my eyes roaming on the faces of each female soldier, "This girl looks quite handsome. Is she a local? Where do you live?"
The female soldier I asked about blushed slightly, but ignored me. She was an out-and-out local woman. Judging from her performance, they all understood what I said.
Behind her was a bright window with thick woolen curtains hanging on one side. As I spoke, I turned behind her and looked out the window.
I didn't see anything, except for a thick window sill with a layer of ruby white beads on the inner and outer edges. From the window, I could see the blue sky outside, without even a bird feather.
Damn, how thick are the walls of this palace?
I don’t know what this window is made of. It’s so transparent and seems like there’s nothing there.
If we don't get along after a while, can I jump up to the window sill and jump off from here?
I just came up from below, so I guess there will be no problem with the height. What does the height of one floor mean to me?
I don’t know how Sulu and the others are doing now. I calculated the time and found that it’s less than an hour before we agreed. I have time to hang out with you.
The king behind me is so calm. I know he is looking at me from behind.
"This girl, can you give way and let me open the window?" I said to her, raising my hand and pinching her chin, "She looks pretty... passable. It makes my brother feel hot."
As he said that, he pulled off the tightly wrapped bath towel around his neck, as if to dissipate the heat, and then stretched his hand towards the window. I wanted to knock on it. What are these windows made of? I couldn't help but feel...
foot
Just when I was about to knock on the window, a voice suddenly came from behind me:
"Do not move!"
My hand was hanging half an inch away from the window, and I slowly turned back. The King of Pu Duan Kingdom raised one hand towards me and faced me, hesitant to speak.
What, can’t hold on anymore?
"Oh, this is the King? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He got off the donkey and turned around, "Are you afraid that I will break your window?"
The king is still wearing a veil, and the more he looks at it, the more ridiculous he becomes. However, the deadlock is broken.
He sat there and gestured to the woman in gorgeous clothes on his right. She bowed slightly to me and said:
"Our king is not worried about the window, but worried about the safety of the general"
"Safety? Now that I have no sword and no clothes, am I still safe?" I spread my hands and turned in a circle, "It is safe. You are fully armed and only gave me a bath towel!"
She ignored my objection and added, "Although these windows are empty, there is not a poisonous sea spider in every window."
"Sea pig? Why didn't I see it? Are you trying to trick me into being too well-informed? Why does your king have such a hobby? It's a nice palace, but there are either women or pigs in it." I said
The woman was stunned by me, and she stammered a little. The king sitting above him couldn't sit still. I saw him stoop slightly and cough. The woman in gorgeous clothes quickly stopped talking and returned to her original place.
"To be honest, these sea spiders are very small. If you don't look carefully, you can't see them at all." It was the king who spoke. His voice sounded familiar to me. It sounded like white thorns, but not like white thorns.
In the few times I fought with Bai Jing, all I heard was his angry tone, but now this one doesn't seem like that.
"They have a special ability. They can build nets whether in the water or in the air. They are colorless, odorless, and extremely poisonous. The nets they build will make the sharks, known as the kings of the sea, stay away."
"What will happen if I knock it on? Why does it sound a little suspenseful to me?"
As I said that, I raised my hand and grabbed a spear from the hand of a female soldier next to me. She was caught off guard, and there was nothing in her hand. She wanted to grab it back, but she didn't know if it would fit. Her hands were at a loss.
I raised the gun and carefully thrust the tip of the gun into the window.
Wherever the tip of the gun touched, I finally saw a layer of bright filaments, criss-crossing into a network, shimmering slightly in the light
Just now, the spider web was spread out flat without letting me see it. Now, a pit was made by the tip of the gun, but it was not broken. It was trembling slightly, and a faint blue color immediately appeared on the metal tip of the tip, which continued to spread downward from the tip of the tip!
"Throw away the gun, the spider poison will spread along anything it touches!" the king shouted behind me.
I pulled the gun back, but I didn't throw it away after it was out of the cobweb. "Throw it away? I finally have a weapon, will I throw it away?"
I turned the tip of the gun to look at it. After leaving the spider web, the speed of the blue spread slowed down and the blue became lighter. "It's still poisonous, hehe, not bad." I felt scared for a while. It seemed that they didn't lie to me. Fortunately, they didn't lie to me.
The general's response was not slow
This spear was used by a female soldier. The weight was not too heavy, but it was better than nothing. She turned to face the throne and said, "Aren't the men of your country shameless to see anyone in the field?"
"Tian Zong, yes, not bad." The man on the throne nodded slightly, "I wonder who taught you your archery skills?"
This sentence came from a person I met for the first time. I suppressed my surprise and said to him:
"The person who taught me archery is far away in the sky, but very close to me. He is outside your palace."
The man's expression paused, as if he was acquainted with the people outside the palace I mentioned. I suddenly asked: "Are you Bai Jing?"
When I asked this question, the king of Pu Duan Kingdom immediately came back to his senses, "Now that you have revealed it, I have nothing to hide. It's me... However, Bai Jing is a thing of the past. I am now, Pu Duan
king of the country”
"Bai Jing...King" My guess was confirmed, but the doubts in my heart became deeper and deeper.
"You said you were Bai Jing, and I said I was Bai Qi? You can't just say whatever you catch?"
"What do you want?"
"I've met Bai Jing twice, and I've never been as shy as you." I pointed at the veil on his head with my chin, and I said
He sat there, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then saw the man on the throne raising his hand and slowly lifting the white gauze on his head.
As the white veil lifted up, a miserable face appeared in front of me
What kind of face is that? The right half of the cheekbone collapsed completely, and the ears were pulled by the deformed flesh. They changed direction, not backward, but forward. The right half of the face was stunned by what had just been done.
The wound is covered with scabs, and some of the areas where the scabs have fallen off reveal pink new flesh.
But his neck is quite white
This is not the White Wattle I know. This White Wattle now is like a monster. One right eye has no eyelids and the eyelashes are stuck with blood scab. Together with the other good eye, it is looking at me with good eyes.
"Xiao Huo, how could you use the majestic General Bai to deceive me? I've seen Bai Jing before, and he's not like you."
"It's not all thanks to you that I'm like this! Have you forgotten that you were on the island in the north a few days ago?"
Damn Bazi Island? Damn Bazi, his face was trampled like this by a bison. I couldn’t help but smile.
That time, Bai Jing hid in the bushes and shot me with an arrow, killing the calf and angering the buffalo herd. His face should have changed like this since then, but how did he escape?
Bai Jing seemed to have noticed my doubts and didn't say anything. He just said to me slowly.
"I, Bai Jing, are strangers to you, but you have made me look like this. Is it because of that Cui Jia... We all have our own ambitions, and we can live without infringement," he said after a pause.
"Let's forget about the past. If you come here and want to harm me again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
After a long passage, he seemed to be very emotional, which affected the scar on his face. He grinned in pain, then moved the scar again, and wanted to reach out to cover it, but stopped again.
I felt funny for a while, "I was hiding in a stone nest with neither humans nor ghosts, and I was talking nonsense. I came here today to tell you the truth, just to find you. I didn't expect that I found you so quickly. Tian
The king is right, evil people always hide among good people!"
"Here, the Bubu Mechanism is not what you see. The poisonous spider is just one of them."
"Okay, even if what you said is true, I'm not in a hurry to leave now. Don't scare me. But I have a question. I don't know if I can tell you. Wait until I figure it out. Whether I can run out or not depends on God.
It’s my fate”
"Bai is always very polite to heroes with special skills. Maybe after hearing my story, you will change your original intention. Maybe General Ruotian and your people will be interested in my Pu Duan country."
Bai will be honored to stay!"
"Then I'm all ears." I quietly looked at the spear in my hand again. The blue spider poison had gradually dissipated, and it wasn't as mysterious as Bai Jing said.
Bai Jing coughed again, only to feel a soft rustling sound next to him. He turned around and looked, and was really shocked. The female soldiers standing around the hall disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the thick curtains beside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Hanging there, occasionally swaying slightly
And Bai Jing's words came from the throne unhurriedly.
