Volume 1 Chapter 497: Chaos
Chapter 497: Chaos
Zhang Pa asked the old soldier with a bitter face: "Did you remember the direction wrong?" The old soldier affirmed: "No." If it's right, keep looking. The hard work paid off. Three months later, he finally wandered to the vicinity of Qiandu Island.
Dozens of refugees cheered and the princess came to thank Zhang Pa again. Zhang Pa sighed: "The tornado blew so far."
After finding the direction, it became much easier to go home. He hurried all the way and arrived at Baiqian Country three days later. It's called a country, but it's actually just an island. There are mountains, rivers, trees, and tens of thousands of people living there. In general, it's a beautiful place suitable for living. However, something happened at this time. There were three large ships and more than 40 small boats on the sea. The ships were all soldiers wielding steel knives and sharp arrows, attacking the island. The edge of the island was a row of trenches and a row of low walls. Many soldiers hid behind the walls and shot arrows.
This is a war. Zhang Pa turned his head to look at the princess in distress. The princess looked anxious and shouted, "Hurry, hurry over." Zhang Pa asked her, "Are you good at fighting?" The princess shook her head and just urged, "Hurry over."
"Why can't I fight you?" Zhang Tianfang interrupted and asked.
"I don't care, I want to go anyway." The princess was very stubborn.
Zhang Pa smiled and said, "No need to bother." He threw out a talisman. The seven-star one, the low-grade one was lost when he fought with the ghost disciples last time, and all his wealth was left with a hundred or so seven-star talismans.
As the talisman left his hand, a thunderclap sounded out of thin air. The sound startled everyone on the battlefield. Those who were fighting forgot their opponents, and those who were close to them sat down directly. The sound was really too loud, even louder than thunder.
Zhang Pa said, "They don't fight anymore."
The two warring parties were Bai Qianguo and Heiyunguo. The island was flying a white flag with a black circle on it. The three large ships were also flying white flags, but the pattern was three black clouds squeezed together. There were few people on the shore, a total of about 300 people. There were many people on the sea, a small boat could hold about ten people, a large boat could hold about three hundred people, and a total of more than a thousand people. Although the two sides fought fiercely, they were just ordinary people after all. Zhang was embarrassed to scare people with magic, so the talisman became the best substitute.
After the war stopped, the princess urged: "Dock, dock quickly."
Zhang Pa didn't care, he would do a good thing to the end, so he docked, and the large ship sailed to the shore. His move made the soldiers of the two countries very nervous, thinking that the large ship was the helper of the other side, and they didn't know what to do. The brave ones raised their swords and bows and shouted to the large ship: "Stop! Stop! If you don't stop, I will shoot you with thousands of arrows."
Some people on the shore shouted so, and some people in the warships on the sea shouted so, so both sides understood that this was not the other side's people. He quickly put away his weapons, changed to a humble and polite manner, clasped his fists and shouted: "May I ask who you are, and why you come to Baiqian Island?"
Zhang Pa wanted to send the princess and dozens of others to the place and then go home to practice. He never thought that sending people home would also encounter a war. With the mentality of doing good things until old age, he spoke gently: "We are passing by, you... those who are fighting should stop for a while." He almost said we are passing by, you continue, fortunately, he was still quick in his words in an emergency.
With the threat of the previous huge explosion, who dares not to listen, who dares not to stop? Soldiers from both sides took the initiative to evacuate the battlefield and wait and see what the big ship wants to do.
Their Wuxianmu ship is too big, bigger than the three warships of the Black Cloud Kingdom combined. It stopped far away from the island. The water is too shallow and the ship can't pass. Looking around, there is a small boat 30 meters away, with two soldiers left on it, and the rest are probably dead on the island. Zhang Pa called out: "Come over here."
The two soldiers were startled and didn't know whether they should go over. Who knows what will happen after they go over? Zhang Pa said, "I'll lend you my boat for a while, and I'll return it right away." As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot and wanted to throw it over, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. Bribing his soldiers in front of someone else's superior? Only an idiot would do that. He shouted directly to the three large ships, "Officials, lend me your boat for a while."
The voice was so loud that it spread far away, and everyone on the battlefield could hear it. At this moment, the superior on the main battle ship was in a dilemma. What's going on? Do you want to lend it or not? If he lends it, as the highest superior, it will be embarrassing to listen to someone's words casually; if he doesn't lend it, the guy on the boat will get angry and explode again, and his life will be gone. He hesitated and looked at the deputy general beside him. The deputy general also felt embarrassed. Why are you looking at me? I dare to make the decision for you, right? He had no choice but to step forward and shouted back loudly, "May I ask if the owner of your ship can come out to see me? The Grand Commander of the Black Cloud Kingdom is here."
While talking on this side, Princess Bai Qianguo didn't want to wait any longer, so she dived into the water and swam to the shore. All his guards and maids jumped down with him. Zhang Pa looked anxious.
Since everyone had already gone into the water, there was no need to borrow a boat. He also jumped in and walked on the water. This skill made the soldiers on both sides more nervous, especially the guards on the shore who were confused about the situation. Are they here to attack? They raised their bows and arrows and aimed at the people in the water.
The princess's guards were anxious and shouted, "Princess Shuiyue is here, come and protect the emperor." His voice was also very loud, and people on the shore and in the water could hear it. When they heard the four words "Princess Shuiyue", the soldiers on the shore were stunned and couldn't believe it. The soldiers on the ships at sea looked at the main warship, waiting for the order from there.
These people could swim and swam to the shore quickly. A soldier on the shore approached, carefully identified, and shouted, "It's Princess Shuiyue, come and protect the emperor." With this shout, more than 300 soldiers on the shore abandoned their trench positions and ran over collectively.
In this way, the Black Cloud soldiers also knew that the person was indeed the princess. The main warship slowly moved forward. The Grand Commander stood on the bow, shielding his eyes with his hands and looking forward. The deputy general beside him couldn't understand the situation and thought, "Is the princess dead?"
The main reason for the Black Cloud Kingdom to send troops this time was Princess Shuiyue. Black Cloud Kingdom is larger than Baiqian Kingdom, and they wanted to find a reason to annex it. However, the island where Baiqian Kingdom is located is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with cliffs on three sides and only a beach on one side. So they used their power to force Princess Shuiyue to marry. Princess Shuiyue had to marry to avoid war, but she encountered a shipwreck on the way to marry.
Because she was reluctant to marry, she delayed all the way, but she didn't expect to encounter a shipwreck later, and the whole ship was lost. The King of Black Cloud Kingdom originally wanted to attack Baiqian Kingdom by force. They occupied two large islands and had a population of nearly one million. It was not a problem to deal with tens of thousands of people. However, his subordinates kept saying that they should be gentle and kind. In order to appease people's hearts, he arranged this marriage for his son. Anyway, Princess Shuiyue was very beautiful, and he would not suffer any loss.
But Princess Shuiyue was lost, and she was lost for more than half a year. The King of Black Cloud was angry. Escape? Playing tricks on me? His son was also angry. His son was the great governor on the ship now, thinking: What does it mean? It's embarrassing to marry me? Both the father and the son thought it was a loss of face, so there was the battle of Baiqian Island today.
But now that Princess Shuiyue has appeared, should we still fight this battle?
