Chapter 115 Chapter 116 voy to the mackerel 3
Zhang Zhentian and Ou Jianliang's fleet followed the east for a few days, and they rushed to the vicinity of an island. There is a gorgeous city built in the sea between the islands, which is Yingzhou, the above-ground city of the mackerel kingdom.
"Marquis, in front of them is Yingzhou, the city of their mackerel. Usually, the envoy of their mackerel receiving our original is here. When Ou Jianliang saw that the ship had arrived in Yingzhou, he quickly introduced it to Zhang Zhentian beside him.
"So their capital is underwater?" Zhang Zhentian listened to Ou Jianliang's words and asked carefully.
"Yes!" Ou Jianliang replied, "Although this mackerel can live on land, they can't leave the water for a long time. Therefore, their cities are built by water. In particular, their capital was built on the bottom of the deep sea for defense.
"So that's it." Zhang Zhentian nodded after listening.
"Margrave Zhang and Lord Ou, you go to Guanyi to have a rest first!" Jiaolian saw that the fleet had arrived in Yingzhou. He rushed back to Zhang Zhentian's bow from the front and said, "I will go to our palace to find my majesty, if he wants to see you. Then you can go with me to our land palace."
"Then there will be General Lao Jiao." Zhang Zhentian replied politely. After that, Zhang Zhentian settled the soldiers on the ship, and then he only took his own guard and Yao Xiu behind Ou Jianliang and went to Guanyi to live together.
When the accommodation was arranged, Zhang Zhentian asked Ou Jianliang again in the room, "Lord Ou, since the mackerel's palace is underwater, how did the original person who stole the secret documents go down?"
"Marquis, you don't know anything. This mackerel's eyes have the effect of avoiding water. If the original man contains the mackerel's eyes, he can stay in the water for a period of time. Ou Jianliang listened to Zhang Zhentian's question and said, "It's just that the mackerel's eyes are very easy to contain in the original man's mouth. When the mackerel's eyes disappear, the original man must leave the bottom of the water to breathe on the water, otherwise it will be dangerous."
After listening to Ou Jianliang's words, Zhang Zhentian nodded. It turned out that the mackerel suspected that the original man had stolen their things, and it was not a guess for no reason. It seems that they still have some evidence. Although Zhang Zhentian has not specifically negotiated with the mackerel, now he believes that the mackerel is not empty talk.
The next morning, Jiao Yu came to Guanyi. When he saw Zhang Zhenzhen, he said politely, "Marquis Zhang, I have told my majesty about your visit. He said he would like to see you and listen to what you said.
"That's good! So shall we go to your palace now? Zhang Zhentian hesitated to ask.
"Ha ha, don't worry, you don't have to go to the bottom of the sea!" Jiaolian saw that Zhang Zhentian's expression was a little strange, so he relieved Zhang Zhentian and said, "Your Majesty will come to Yingzhou's palace. Just go there to see him."
"That's the best!" Zhang Zhentian smiled when he heard the words, "This is really a laborious general."
"Nothing!" Jiaolian replied with a smile, "If there is nothing else, you can go with me with Lord Ou!" I think my majesty has also arrived in the palace now.
"Good!" Zhang Zhentian agreed, and he asked his own soldiers to find Ou Jianliang, and then the two of them left the palace of the mackerel.
In the land palace of the mackerel, the king of the mackerel has been waiting here. Zhang Zhentian walked into the palace and quickly bowed to salute when he saw the surging, "Zhang Zhentian, the messenger of Yanyun, has seen His Majesty the King!"
"Avoid it!" After saying something to Zhang Zhentian, he motioned Zhang Zhentian to sit down. After Ou Jianliang saluted Jiao Wei, he felt that he was standing beside Zhang Zhentian.
"I heard that Lord Zhang came this time to help us find the ancient secret documents?" Jiao Wei has now heard what Zhang Zhentian said at sea, so he doesn't want to go around the circle and ask directly.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhentian replied happily, "I heard that your country's secret document has been lost. It is said that its loss is related to our original person. However, I want to know what is the relationship between them?"
"Oh! Then I'll talk to you." After listening to Zhang Zhentian's words, he nodded and said slowly, "It was probably a year and a half ago!" A group of your original merchants came to my Yingzhou. They lived here for a few days. After purchasing goods, they were about to return to the mainland. But at this time, my little son mentioned the ancient secret to one of your merchants. At first, the man did not believe in the existence of the secret document, but later the two of them made a bet. It's also my youngest son. He actually took the man to my palace to read the secret documents. If this is the end of the matter, that's all. However, a few months later, one night, someone sneaked into my palace and stole the secret! And the guards guarding the palace were also killed by him in the battle with him. However, he was also killed by the bodyguard I followed. And in order to recover the lost secret documents, my bodyguards chased them all the way. As a result, when they chased to the sea, they were blocked by a fierce giant bird. And the man who stole the secret was rescued by your original fishing boat. Because the treaty in the secret document is related to the lifeblood of you and my clan, so, alas! I also have words of suffering!"
"Oh? Blocked by a giant bird?" After listening to the words, Zhang Zhentian pondered for a moment, and then looked at the pondering, "Your Majesty, you said that the person who stole the secret is our original person. Do you have any evidence?"
"I have the dagger he left behind by killing my soldiers." Answeringly.
"Can you take a look at that?" Zhang Zhentian continued to ask.
"Yes!" After saying that, he ordered someone to come up with a dagger. After Zhang Zhentian looked carefully, he handed the dagger to Ou Jianliang's hand. After looking at it for a while, Ou Jianliang muttered, "Your Majesty, this object is not like what we used to use."
"Oh? If you are not the original, will there be anything else? After listening to Ou Jianliang's words, he was obviously a little unhappy. In the perspective of correction, this Ou Jianliang just wants to deny it.
"Your Majesty, although we are also accustomed to using daggers. However, the curvature of your dagger is obviously more curved than our original dagger. And the pattern on this dagger is not like that made by our original craftsman. Ou Jianliang said this, and he looked at the dagger carefully. "I think this pattern, if I guess correctly, it is very much like the tools of the orcs of the Northern Kingdom."
"orc?" Zhang Zhentian listened to Ou Jianliang's words, and took back the dagger and looked carefully at the pattern on the dagger. Then, Zhang Zhentian said in an uncertain tone, "This pattern alone is indeed not an object in the original army. However, I don't know if it belongs to orcs. However, it is a little arbitrary to conclude that the man is not the original man with just a dagger.
"Hmm! The marquis's words still make sense. Hearing Zhang Zhentian say this, although his face was solemn, his tone softened, "Pinglian, you should also take a closer look at this dagger!" Does it look like an orc's tool?
"Your Majesty, it's a bit like!" Jiaolian took the dagger from Zhang Zhentian's hand and replied carefully, "This dagger is indeed like an orc's tool. This original dagger is indeed a little different from it. Especially this pattern, as Lord Ou said, should be the usual pattern of orcs in the north.
"Your Majesty, can your soldiers see the face of the original man?" Zhang Zhentian saw that he listened to the words, and his face was a little relaxed, and Zhang Zhentian continued to ask.
"Someone saw it." After saying this, he pointed to the correction in front of him, "Danglian, you say it!"
Yes! Your Majesty." After saying it respectfully, he turned his eyes to Zhang Zhentian, "Marquis, in the fight, the man's mask fell down. The bodyguard who chased him that day happened to be led by me, so I saw his face clearly. He is indeed an original man, not an orc.
"What does the giant bird that prevents you from chasing look like?" Zhang Zhentian continued to ask after hearing this.
"Six eyes, four wings and three claws." Jiaoling answered without hesitation.
"Oic acid and bird?" Zhang Zhentian listened to the words, and he was shocked and asked back.
