Chapter 371 8 Ying Island
Chapter 371 8 Ying Island
The rumbling thunderstorm began to bring storms to the sea, and raindrops as big as beans fell like waterfalls. However, in the raging waves, a small boat was moving forward steadily like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.
Zheping's face was covered in sweat. Looking at Ye Li who was so leisurely and seemed to treat the storm as a child's play, he shouted anxiously:
"Mr. Ye Li, the wind and rain are too strong. If we continue to move forward, there is a risk of capsizing."
"Don't worry, my friend Zheping. I have carefully polished and designed this boat. It is unlikely to capsize in a thunderstorm like this."
"But the wind and rain are still too strong. The sails are about to fly into the sky."
"It's okay, just get used to it. I got used to it on the way from Xumi to here."
Zheping looked at Ye Li who was calm and composed, and finally controlled the direction of the boat so as not to deviate from its course. He sat down on a chair on the boat, looked at the transparent canopy above his head that blocked the rain, and sighed.
"Why are you sighing? My dear friend Zheping, the wind and rain here are not that strong, so you don't have to worry about the boat capsizing."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ye Li. I am not worried about the navigation problem. I am just wondering why the general issued the national isolation order and then issued the Eye Hunting Order, which forced those of us who can't make a living to raise the flag of resistance."
Faced with this question that is now a commonplace among Inazuma, or that people are afraid to talk about and then fall into thinking, Ye Li simply responded indifferently and expressed his opinion:
"The Lockdown Order and the Eye Hunting Order are just means for your general to pursue eternity, and there are also external forces involved. Recently, the supplies on your Haizhi Island have been reduced, and the opening of new routes is also to avoid those with ulterior motives who can only use you."
"Then according to what you said, sir, there are outsiders interfering with the gods of Inazuma. This is unlikely. If this is true, the general should not be unaware of it."
"Friend Zheping, you should think about it. If there really was external interference, which idiot would start with a god? Isn't that courting death?"
"Sir, what you mean is that they started with one of the three great practices."
Looking at the young man in front of him who had become calmer and wiser after a week of therapy, Ye Li nodded with satisfaction and said:
"That's right. Most of the Inazuma provincial politics are in the hands of the three magistrates. As for which magistrate is being interfered with, you'll have to use your own eyes, ears, and thoughts to confirm it once you get there."
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Zheping is grateful for your advice."
At this moment, Zheping bowed very respectfully. The sound of raindrops hitting the transparent tent could not block his powerful words.
Before being specifically chosen to accompany Ye Li this time, Zhe Ping actually had a private conversation with Coral Palace Xin Hai.
In addition to protecting Ye Li and serving as a bodyguard, Zheping was also assigned the task of investigating intelligence on Ming Shen Island. During this period, he had more exchanges with Ye Li and tried to learn more. After all, Lord Coral Palace also praised Ye Li's wisdom.
So when faced with Ye Li, who was powerful (referring to his record of defeating 50 ordinary rebels like him), wise and calm, Zheping recognized him from the bottom of his heart. Besides, he also learned a lot during this week-long sailing trip.
For example, the technique of grilling fish on a wooden boat accurately at sea without burning the boat, and the experience of fighting waves as high as nearly 10m or even more than 30m every time during a storm, each of them is an unforgettable scene.
It can only be said that following Ye Li, the pressure you endure is directly proportional to the rewards, and sometimes even far exceeds that. Zheping is also very grateful for Ye Li's guidance over the past few days. If he achieves something one day, he will go to Liyue to visit the headquarters of Wangshengtang and take care of the business.
……
A day later, on the northern coast of Bayun Island, Ye Li and Zhe Ping drove their boat to the beach and landed on solid land.
Feeling the ground beneath his feet without any shaking, Teppei finally understood why the other rebels were so eager for land after staying on the ship for several months. The horrible weather at sea was not a place for people to stay.
Ye Li looked at the clear weather in front of him at Bayun Island, with no thunderstorms at all. He knew in his heart that a leak had not occurred somewhere in this timeline, and the shrine set up by Lei Dianzhen had not been destroyed by the Fatui's undercover agents.
All I can say is that they arrived just in time. The disaster in Hime Village has not happened yet, and the village chief who was organizing the festival has not gone crazy. Everything is still under control.
"Mr. Ye Li, this is Bayun Island, the frontline battle site between the Shogunate Army and the rebels. Are you sure you want to stop here for a while?"
"I think the scenery here is nice. Besides, a war between two armies is no small matter. The mixed crowd may cause serious consequences for both of you. Especially the Imperial Shadow Furnace Core of the Tatarasana Sand and the shrine here, these two places must be properly protected."
"But the defenses of Talingsha are tight. We, the resistance army, tried to sneak in, but were beaten out. Besides, no one would pay attention to the thing that suppresses the evil god. Sir, you are concerned about these two places as soon as you arrive. Is there any hidden secret?"
"Don't ask too much about this. There are already enough natural and man-made disasters nowadays. If anything else happens, Inazuma will be finished sooner or later."
Ye Li's confident words frightened Zhe Ping directly. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and took the consequence seriously. At the same time, he also understood why Ye Li came here instead of going straight to the outlying island.
"Mr. Ye Li, do you need me to go to the nearby resistance camp to inform them first? After all, you have obtained the permission order from Lady Coral Palace. Seeing the order is like seeing her. You can do something about it."
"That's not necessary. I'm also surprised that Xinhai would give me this thing. Currently, the battle between the shogunate army and the resistance army has entered a period of calm, and there won't be much trouble for the time being. Currently, we are exploring the situation of the entire island and asking the locals."
"Zheping understands. I have been to Bayun Island several times, so I am familiar with the roads. The nearest village seems to be Feimu Village. We just need to climb over a few hills and bypass the Wuxiang Blade Gorge filled with lightning factors to get there."
Listening to Zheping's suggestion, Ye Li touched his chin and nodded. At the same time, he took out two green stones from his box, and took out two crossbows tied with ropes, and said in a calm tone:
"Forget about going around it. Just set up a rope above the canyon and climb over it. With the physical fitness you have trained in the resistance army, you can barely climb over it."
"Ah! Mr. Ye Li, this is too dangerous. Moreover, the lightning factor entangled in the Wuxiang Blade Gorge is fatal to ordinary people."
Seeing Zheping looking a little frightened, Ye Li shook the green stone in his hand and said:
"This thing can block the erosion of the lightning factor. It will be fine as long as you carry it with you. This is a good treasure I brought from Xumi. You should be happy to be able to use it for your kid."
Ye Li's words immediately calmed Zhe Ping down. Looking at the bright and shining stone in Ye Li's hand, he realized that this thing must be a rare elemental prop. After all, the carved patterns on the stone were really beautiful.
