Outside the floating land, there are small islands floating in the void. Although they are called floating islands, in fact, most of them are just larger rocks. They have no ability to form their own protective layer and can only withstand all kinds of dangerous erosion in the void.

Floating islands like this are everywhere on the continent. Only those floating islands that are large enough and have a protective layer are valuable and can allow ordinary people to survive. However, there are very few floating islands like this, and most of them are of little value.

of stones.

The movement of the floating islands is irregular and the environment is extremely harsh. Even a god general cannot survive on it for long. And their movement will pose a great threat to the aerostat, just like a hidden reef in the void. Therefore,

When Yong Ye and the Empire engage in a fleet battle in the void, they will also stay away from areas with dense floating islands.

There is a floating island moving slowly above the floating land. It is only a few hundred meters in radius, so it is naturally impossible to form a protective layer. However, if you stand on the floating island, you can see the entire floating land in sight.

At this moment, on this floating island, which is called the restricted area of ​​life, two people are sitting and playing chess.

There were a table and a table between the two of them, and a red clay teapot on the table. A fire was burning under the pot, and the water was being heated. There was a chessboard on the table, with black and white on the board, and there was no sound of gunpowder smoke. They were fighting.

A critical moment.

At both ends of the table, there is a man with a solemn face, who is clearly the King of Qingyang, Zhang Boqian. At the other end of the chess table, there is an old man with a kind face and a kind face. His every move is vaguely in line with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and he is the nominal number one of the empire at this moment.

A strong person refers to the ultimate king.

King Zhiji had an indifferent expression on his face, waiting for Zhang Boqian to make a move. King Qingyang was frowning and thinking hard at the moment, making no attempt to hide his inferiority, and kept his happiness and anger on the outside.

King Zhiji picked up the tea cup lightly, drank the full cup of hot tea in one gulp, and sighed: "What a good tea!"

After drinking a cup, King Zhiji was still unfinished, and reached out to take the cup in front of Zhang Boqian. He stretched out his hand and said: "Boqian, you are good at crossing the void. There is still a chance to get this kind of tea. But I am old and can't compare with you. It's so hard."

Don’t move any longer. Just give this cup to me, right?”

Zhang Boqian's eyes were still fixed on the chessboard, and his whole body was motionless. A sunspot had been shot at the finger of the king, forcing him to take it back. The sunspot missed and was about to hit the teacup, but it circled out of thin air.

Circle, it automatically flew back to Zhang Boqian's hand. The exquisiteness of the movement was really indescribable.

This is not a competition between ordinary strong men. They can still have some strength left in the face of the Zhiji King. Even if the Zhiji King fails to exert his full strength, how many people in this world can do it?

The Zhiji King lost half a move, but he was not angry. He just said "stingy" and started to enjoy the scenery of the floating land leisurely. He said with a smile: "This round is over, you still have to lose to me for this cup of tea."

"We'll talk about it later." Zhang Boqian's voice had no ups and downs.

At this time, a floating ship appeared in the distance, looming and moving at an extremely fast speed, heading straight towards the floating island.

Zhang Boqian sat and meditated, as if he had not seen the floating ship. King Zhiji suddenly focused on controlling the heat of the teapot, also paying no attention to it.

The aerospace ship hovered next to the floating island, and several figures flew out from it. The leader was a tall middle-aged man, with a vague resemblance to the Zhiji King between his eyebrows. He waved the others to stop, and strode to

Beside the chess game, he bowed and said, "Grandpa."

King Zhiji raised his eyes slightly and said calmly: "I have told you so many times that you can just call me Prince, or you can call me by my real name. You come from a distinguished family, and I cannot afford to be an old man."

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare. He could only vaguely answer the question of the name and said: "Tianqing sent a message back. This matter is of great importance. I don't dare to take charge of it. I need to ask you."

Take a look."

When he heard the word "Tianqing", the shadow on King Zhiji's face swept away and said: "Take it and take a look."

The middle-aged man hurriedly sent a letter, and then stood back where he was.

King Zhiji opened the envelope, took out the letter, glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, handed the letter to Zhang Boqian, and said, "This is indeed an accident. What do you think?"

Zhang Boqian finally recovered from the chess game. He took the letter and looked at it. He frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying: "If this is true, then the maelstrom passage in the neutral ground this year will be gentler than in the past. No,

Then there is the situation of narrow escape. If this channel can be opened, then the empire will not be trapped by the allocated quota. This is a long-lasting achievement."

King Zhiji sighed softly, shook his head and said: "When I was young, I went to the Neutral Land and knew that it was dangerous. Although this passage has always existed, it is more than a narrow escape. If it were you and me, maybe we could still walk.

Even if it becomes milder now, these children cannot enter it unless "

Having said this, King Zhiji suddenly fell silent and just sighed softly.

Everyone knows that King Zhiji may have something unspeakable, so no one would be so ignorant and must tell King Zhiji.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Fang pointed his finger and asked: "Boqian, you are the commander-in-chief of the army, how should you make a decision on this matter?"

Zhang Boqian said calmly: "The military commander is a thing of the past. Since it is difficult to reach a conclusion on this matter, we might as well wait and make a decision when we can see clearly. It won't be too late."

After that, he waved his hand and dropped a black stone. This stone seemed to be a solitary piece, but also seemed to be an idle hand, falling in an open space, but it vaguely echoed the general trend.

King Zhiji stroked his beard and praised: "Good chess!"

He waved to the middle-aged man and said, "I already know about this, you can go back."

The middle-aged man stopped talking and turned around to leave.

When the floating ship flew away, Zhiji Wang said: "Speaking of the neutral land, there is some interesting news that seems to have something to do with you. You might as well take a look."

Having said that, King Zhiji suddenly had a seal in his hand. It was one of the three seals sent back to the empire by Song Zining.

Song Zining spent a lot of money to send the message that day, but only one of the three envelopes arrived. The recipient did not doubt that it was there. This kind of transmission is inherently unstable, so sending three at a time was just for insurance. If one of them was delivered, he was lucky.

.But no one thought that one of the two sealed tubes that disappeared was actually intercepted by the King of Zhiji using heaven-reaching means.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Boqian had no expression on his face, and when he turned his left hand, he also found an identical sealed tube in his hand.

King Zhiji put his palms together and smiled: "As expected of Qingyang! You are not far behind the ancestors of the Zhang family now."

Zhang Boqian shook his head and said: "My ancestors' martial arts reached their peak, when will I be able to catch up?"

King Zhiji did not argue with him. He pointed at the two sealing tubes and said, "How do you want to deal with it?"

Zhang Boqian raised his hand and waved lightly, and the two unopened envelopes and their contents disappeared into thin air and turned into ashes. As for the contents of the envelopes, he didn't even glance at them.

Zhiji Wang said: "That's fine, none of those people can plot against you."

"It's not the time to fall out, so I won't give them a chance." Zhang Boqian's eyes flashed coldly and he said: "Otherwise, someone is plotting against me. If I don't give them some clues, wouldn't they think that I, Zhang Boqian, am afraid of them?

?”

King Zhiji nodded and said: "That's true. In my opinion, Xitang is best suited to handle the matter of the Great Whirlpool Passage. What do you think?"

"Is he busy enough?" Zhang Boqian's words were sarcastic, as if he meant something else.

King Zhiji muttered: "Besides him, there is no one else. After all, Zhao Jundu is still young and cannot bear this burden. As for Song Zining, let alone him. Well, this little guy Zining is getting more and more daring.

Yes, he needs to be punished."

Zhang Boqian said calmly: "From the day he left my tent, he was no longer mine."

"That's it." King Zhiji picked up three white stones, rubbed them in his palm for a moment, then threw them with his hand, and the three white stones shot into the void, causing ripples and then disappeared suddenly.

At this moment in Nanqing City, Song Zining was well fed, slept well, washed up, and felt refreshed and in good condition.

He was not in a hurry to eat, but stood in front of the table, lined up several jade signs, and then placed the folding fan on the corner of the table to lock the southwest direction. At this moment, the empire was in the southwest.

After the preparations were completed, he reached out and picked up the jade sign, preparing to deduce the secret. In the past few days, Song Zining had made several major arrangements. By this time, all parties should have reacted. These facts were of great importance, so he knew that he would deduce the secret.

Difficulties, and even the risk of backlash, Song Zining also wanted to get a glimpse of the secret.

There is also something special about using jade picks. The Li family is best at using jade to deduce the secrets of heaven. The jade box that steals the heaven as a family heirloom has the reputation of "the eye of heaven". This time, Song Zining used jade to deduce the secrets of heaven.

I'm not very good at jade, but I just want to increase the probability and get a glimpse of Empress Li's arrangement.

Song Zining finished praying silently, and when his mind was running smoothly, his whim came as expected.

Having deduced the secrets countless times, he was very familiar with this feeling. Although today was exceptionally smooth and unbelievably smooth, Song Zining still instinctively threw out a handful of jade picks.

The moment the jade fortune sticks were taken, each one was induced by some mysterious force in the void, and invisible threads connected them together.

However, at the moment when the result was about to happen, several ripples suddenly appeared in the void. There was an unparalleled power in the ripples. The folding fan used by Song Zining to suppress the southwest made three consecutive snaps and broke into four pieces.

cut!

In this divine deduction, this folding fan has the function of suppressing the void, and at the same time it is a cornerstone, anchoring all the jade signs here to prevent them from being taken away by the mysterious force. Once the folding fan is broken, the jade signs immediately lose their foundation.

, flying around, and then couldn't bear the force, and exploded to pieces with bang bang bang.

Song Zining stayed for a moment, then fell to the sky, his face as pale as paper.

After a while, he woke up leisurely, feeling that his whole body was limp and sleepy, and he was so limp that he couldn't lift up any strength.

Song Zining suddenly remembered something, jumped up in shock, and grabbed the folding fan in his hand. Unfortunately, this folding fan had been completely destroyed and had no spiritual power at all, so there was no possibility of repairing it.

Song Zining stared blankly at the folding fan, his mind going blank. This folding fan was extremely important to him and was an indispensable part. It was almost the same as the Jade Box that stole the sky from the Li family. At this moment, it was destroyed under the strange ripples.

Already.

Song Zining tried to use his mental method, but was surprised again. The originally clear and clear mental method seemed to be covered with a veil at this moment, and his sense of the void avenue became very slow. Before polishing off this thin veil, he was

Stop trying to deduce the secrets of heaven.
Chapter completed!
