Chapter 635: Found the Fairy Island
"I was just joking with you, but you're still angry." Chen Mo laughed and then said, "Actually, I'm quite curious about what Taogui Gu looks like. Can you let me see it?"

Hearing this, Nalan Yiren thought he was planning to take the Taogui Gu, so she frowned and said, "Don't try to take the Taogui Gu. Besides, I told you last time that it recognizes its master, so it's useless even if you get it."

"Miss Nalan, you misunderstood. I'm really just curious and want to take a look. If you mind, forget it." Chen Mo said.

"Don't provoke me with these words. I won't fall for your trick." After Nalan Yiren finished speaking, she was silent for a moment. Just when Chen Mo was about to leave in disappointment, Nalan Yiren suddenly said, "The Taoji Gu is in its dormant period now and cannot be easily awakened."

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

Nalan Yiren snorted lightly.

"Your Highness." At this moment, Sun Meng's voice was heard outside the house.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Nalan Yiren, "Miss Nalan, please go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he left Nalan Yiren's room.

The moment Chen Mo left the room, Nalan Yiren raised her hand and covered the left atrium, her eyes flickering.

"What's wrong?" Outside Nalan Yiren's yard, Chen Mo looked at Sun Meng and said.

"General Jiang Li just came to me. He already knew that the Marquis of Hongdu County had reported illness and was going back to Shu Prefecture. He asked me to tell you, Your Majesty." Sun Meng pondered for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, why don't we just go all out and seize his rattan armor army as well, and let Jiang Li go back to Shu Prefecture alone."

As soon as Yang Xian said he was sick, Jiang Li took his leave and went back. It was obvious that he had received an order from Yang Xian, urging Jiang Li to go back quickly.

Chen Mo frowned for a moment, then said, "No."

Unlike Anping King Chu Ji, Chu Ji must have helped Lu Sheng, Chong King and others secretly, but when he saw that the situation was turning to Chen Mo's side, he simply turned to Chen Mo's side.

As for Yang Xian, he was a completely neutral character. He had made contributions in getting rid of Prince Huai, beating Prince Chong, and suppressing the rebels. He had just been promoted to Marquis of Hongdu County. If Chen Mo "stabbed him in the back" now, it would not sound good if it got out.

Moreover, the current order in the country is not very stable.

The most crucial thing is that the Yan army detained by Chen Mo in Yanzhou is almost all of Chu Ji’s troops.

But the rattan armor army led by Jiang Li was definitely not all of Yang Xian's troops, and he had just sent his daughter to Linzhou some time ago.
"Go inform General Yue and ask her to see General Jiang off for me." Chen Mo decided to let Jiang Li and the Tengjia Army return to Shu Prefecture. He would consider how to resolve the Shu Prefecture issue after he stabilized the world.

Chen Mo could even guess that the reason why Yang Xian excused himself from coming due to illness and urged Jiang Li to go back was definitely because of this, knowing his concerns.

"Yes." Sun Meng stepped back.

Not long after Sun Meng left, Luo Yong came over.

"Your Highness, we have found Madam Hui." Luo Yong said.

"Where is she?" After all, she is Chu Juan's biological mother, so Chen Mo still guarantees her safety.

"In the Li family's ancestral home in Gui County, Hexi."

"Why don't you bring her to Tianchuan?"

"It was Madam Hui who chose not to come. No matter how much we persuaded her, she wouldn't come. She even wrote two letters herself, one to your Highness, the prince, and one to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Luo Yong gave both letters written by Madam Hui to Chen Mo.

After Chen Mo took it, he saw that the envelope was sealed with wax and had never been opened. He opened the envelope addressed to himself, took out the letter inside and began to read.

After reading the contents of the letter, a hint of unnaturalness appeared on Chen Mo's face.

Mrs. Hui first declined Chen Mo's kindness.

Then he expressed his concerns.

Although there was nothing between her and Chen Mo, she had been captured by Chen Mo once after all, and people in the world would not see it that way.

As the saying goes, a clean person will be clear of all rumors. Although she does not care about the outside world's eyes, she cannot tarnish the reputation of Chen Mo and Chu Juan because of herself. Therefore, Madam Hui believes that as long as she stays away from Chen Mo and Chu Juan in the future, the rumors from the outside world will naturally be self-defeating.

Chen Mo touched his nose and said, "That's it with Madam Hui. Call everyone back and don't disturb her."

"promise."

……

Late April.

Prince Wei's Mansion.

In the side room, candlelight was blazing. Next to a screen as tall as a pillar, on a long table, there were two lotus flowers growing, one pure and cool, the other heroic, competing with each other in beauty, which was a breathtaking beauty.

Behind the twin lotus flowers, a shirtless young man was picking them.

After all, that long table was not a bed, and it showed signs of collapsing.

Chen Mohou embraced Yue Ruyan, holding Xia Zhining's slender hand with one hand, his eyes slightly fixed, kissing Yue Ruyan's shoulders, and said: "Ruyan, Tianchuan is almost stable now. I plan to go back to Xiangyang in May to deal with the imperial examinations, and then bring Mi'er and the others over. But Tianchuan needs you to take charge. I don't trust others, so I hope you can stay in Tianchuan and help me stabilize the court. Geng Songfu and Zuo Lianglun will help you."

Yue Ruyan felt a little dizzy. She lay on the long table and panted slightly as she replied, "Okay."

Xia Zhining's cool and delicate face turned red on both sides. She was originally "playing dead", but after hearing Chen Mo's words, she turned her face towards Chen Mo and said, "What about me?"

"You can stay if you want. You will be here soon anyway." After Chen Mo goes there, he doesn't stay for long.

"Then I'll go back with you. I haven't seen my sister for a long time." Xia Zhining was not afraid of the long journey.

"Row"

Chen Mo's brows suddenly raised, his eyes froze for a moment, and then his brows tightened again. He hugged Yue Ruyan's tall and graceful body tightly, motionless.

Yue Ruyan's brows, which were originally slightly furrowed, were now relaxed, and a look of comfort and aftertaste appeared on her pretty face, and then her delicate and straight nose seemed to let out a disgusted hum.

Chen Mo turned Yue Ruyan's face and bent down to kiss her.

Yue Ruyan narrowed her beautiful eyes into a line and responded cooperatively.

After a while, Chen Mo released Yue Ruyan's lips, pinched her cheeks, picked her up, came to the bed, put her down gently, then walked to Xia Zhining, lowered his head and smiled, "We Zhining are so anxious waiting."

"You always feel comfortable by being a bit of a slut, right?" Xia Zhining stared at him at this moment, then quickly raised her eyes, moving her sight from bottom to top, and glared at Chen Mo fiercely. However, her cold and beautiful face turned red like rouge, and she was extremely embarrassed and angry.

To apologize, Chen Mo knelt down behind Xia Zhining, hugged the slender body of the royal sister, and there was a bit of joy on his face.

I have to say, Chen Mo is sometimes mean.

Women like Wu Mi and Han Anniang who are willing to accept Chen Moyun's proposal are certainly likable, but when you really get along with them, you feel that women like Xia Zhining who scold you from time to time and say what she means are more likable.

Xia Zhining's strength was not as good as Yue Ruyan's, especially since she had stopped practicing for the past two months and was preparing for pregnancy. Her fighting power was not as good as before, and she was quickly defeated. Chen Mo also picked her up and put her on the bed.

Chen Mo also climbed onto the bed, pinched the two girls' cheeks one by one, and said, "It's getting late, let's take a rest."

Yue Ruyan was not Xia Zhining and was more straightforward. After being together for so long, she had gotten used to the relationship between her and Chen Mo. Therefore, she took the initiative to press her face against Chen Mo's chest, listening to the young man's firm and powerful heartbeat. She also put one leg on Chen Mo's body and then closed her eyes.

After a busy day, she didn't practice at night. After closing her eyes, Yue Ruyan soon felt sleepy.

When Xia Zhining saw Yue Ruyan's actions, she was not moved. Instead, she turned her body to the side and faced away from Chen Mo.

Fortunately, Chen Mo knew her well enough, so he reached out and hugged her in his arms.

Xia Zhining struggled symbolically for a while, but soon disappeared like the moon and smoke.

……

Chuanhai, Chaoping County.

Nangong family.

hall.

"Master, Madam, the second master has returned from the sea." A pretty maid trotted into the hall and said with a smile.

Nangong Jin and his wife Zhang looked at each other and both showed excitement.

Zhang heaved a sigh of relief: "God bless you! God bless you!"

Nangong Jin stood up and was about to take Zhang out of the house to greet them personally.

More than a year has passed since Zhang Feng, with the help of the fairy fruit, entered the realm of supernatural powers and led 8,000 soldiers to go to sea to "civilize the foreigners" - the country of Boliu. No news has been received during this period, which made the Nangong family worried that something might have happened to Zhang Feng. Now that he is back home, how can they not be happy.

at this time.

"Brother-in-law, sister." A middle-aged man with a haggard and vicissitudes face had already walked quickly to the outside of the hall. After seeing Nangong Jin and Zhang, he smiled.

"Brother Feng." When the siblings reunited, Zhang's eyes were red and she almost cried. She hurried forward to check on him, and then said with a hint of tears in her voice, "Brother Feng, you've lost weight."

Zhang Feng smiled and said nothing.

Nangong Jin asked about the main business: "Did the voyage go smoothly? Did you capture the country of Boliu?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang quickly dismissed the servants.

After Zhang Feng sat down, Zhang personally poured him a cup of tea. Zhang Feng drank it all in one gulp and felt much more relaxed. He laughed and said, "It's no problem to bring back the small country of Boliu. I also brought back their king, queen, prince, etc. If you want to see them, brother-in-law, I'll have them brought in right away."

Nangong Jin was stunned: "Why did you kidnap their king?"

"Brother-in-law, you don't know that the strongest person in Boliu is only a fifth-rank person, and the soldiers in the country are a mob. They don't even have decent armor. How can they be our opponents? Since they dare to provoke us, we must naturally leave a deep impression on them and kidnap their royal family. Then our people can better control Boliu."

Zhang Feng said, and then said with some disappointment: "It's a pity that there are not many good-looking people in this group of royal family."

Neither Nangong Jin nor Zhang commented on this.

After a moment of silence, Nangong Jin said, "I'm gone. Keep him in custody for now."

Zhang Feng nodded, then glanced around, then stood up and walked out of the hall to look around, before returning to his previous position and saying in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, I found the fairy island."

Nangong Jin hurriedly asked: "Did you pick the fairy fruit?"

Zhang Feng shook his head, looking lonely.

Nangong Jin quickly asked Zhang Feng what exactly had happened.

It turned out that after occupying the Kingdom of Boliu, Zhang Feng brought his fleet back to the waters of the Kingdom of Gu Luo.

After the last lesson, Zhang Feng did not let the entire fleet in. Instead, he lowered the small boats and divided the people into teams. Each team was led by a warrior and went in in batches.

But the result was still a violent storm, which smashed the small boats and almost wiped out the people on the small boats.

This made Zhang Feng feel strange, and he even suspected that the Gu Luo people who found the fairy island last time had deceived him, or had not told him some details.

So he went to Gu Luo Kingdom again, found the man, and hired him with a large sum of money to come to that sea area and let him go to the fairy island again.

But this time, luck did not favor that person.

That man also died in the shipwreck.

This made Zhang Feng very disappointed, but one thing was certain, what the man said to him should be true and he did not lie to him.

Otherwise, he would have definitely resorted to some tricks at this moment and would not have died.

Therefore, Zhang Feng considered these many failures and thought that it might be related to people.

He sent people to capture a group of prisoners from the country of Boliu. These prisoners had one characteristic in common: they were the same age and height as the dead Guluo man, and they were all men. He then forced them to sail a small boat each to that sea area and began his experiment.

This attempt resulted in the death of three groups of prisoners, totaling more than a thousand people.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off. When the fourth batch of captives were making the attempt, someone broke through the blockade of the storm and saw the fairy island. Just when the captive was about to land on the island, a woman in white flew over, sent him out, and warned the captive.

"Don't come to this sea area in the future. I am not always available to save you." Zhang Feng said.

"The fairy in white?" Nangong Jin frowned: "Did you see her?"

Zhang Feng shook his head.

“Then how do you know whether the prisoner deliberately deceived you in order to save his life?” Nangong Jin said.

"It shouldn't be like that. The appearance of the fairy island and the fairy described by the prisoner are almost the same as described by the dead Gu Luo people. Before this, I didn't tell the prisoner about the fairy island or the fairies on the island." Zhang Feng said.

Hearing this, Nangong Jin pondered for a long time and asked, "What do you think?"

"From the fairy's warning, we can tell that the fairy should not be on the island all the time, or that the fairy should be very busy on weekdays. And we can also know that there should be some formation protecting the fairy island. This formation is very dangerous, but there is no pattern to it. If you want to get through it, you can only rely on luck." Zhang Feng said.

Nangong Jin nodded: "You and I are thinking the same thing. It seems that the fairy island, fairy fruit, and fairy are certain, but the fairy fruit is not so easy to obtain."

"Then brother-in-law, are we just giving up now?" Zhang Feng asked.
