Chapter 376 The Giant on the Sea
Ye Tang felt that Nalan Xu was a very good tour guide. He took them to find the Shangguan clan on the second day after arriving in the imperial city.
Nalan Xu is a frequent visitor here. He has an exclusive private room and can clearly see the fight on the ring from the window.
Ye Tang and the other man followed Nalan Xu to the private room, where they ate, drank and watched the competition.
Seeing that Ye Tang, a woman, was actually interested in the ring competition, Nalan Xu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Princess Pingshan to like such a crude and elegant competition. I thought a beauty like you would like elegant things like music, chess, calligraphy and painting!"
Xiao Jingxuan glanced at him and said, "My prince and my beloved concubine are both superficial people."
Nalan Xu saw the warning in Xiao Jingxuan's eyes, but instead of restraining himself, he continued to talk to Ye Tang.
Jamel Xiao sneered and put his face directly in front of Ye Tang.
Ye Tang kissed him on the face without thinking.
Nalanxu and his attendants: "......"
Xiao Jingxuan raised his eyebrows proudly at Nalan Xu: "My beloved concubine, I want more."
Ye Tang kissed him again.
Nalan Xu felt even more uncomfortable. How could he not know that Xiao Jingxuan was demonstrating to him, telling him that Ye Tang was his woman and he would not allow anyone else to think about her.
Nalan Xu said to the guards: "All of you go out!"
Jamel Xiao picked up the melon seeds on the table, peeled them and fed them to Ye Tang.
"Madam, is it delicious?"
Ye Tang smiled and said in agreement: "Of course the melon seeds peeled by my husband are delicious."
Nalan Xu could no longer sit still: "I will also leave, you two can do as you please."
Jamel Xiao waved his hands and did not try to keep her. He just looked at Ye Tang with tenderness and affection, and Ye Tang also looked at him affectionately. Pink bubbles were surrounding the two of them.
Nalan Xu had another heart attack. This couple was so shameless that they showed their affection in front of him, an outsider.
Oh oh oh!
Nalan Xu came outside and leaned against the wall for a long time, feeling sad.
After knowing that Ye Tang was a married woman, he had stopped thinking about her and was left with only pure admiration.
But now, Jamel Xiao was so petty that he didn't even give him the chance to appreciate the beauty.
Nalan Xu booked a private room and was alone and sad.
He has not yet married and is notoriously picky. He finally found a beauty he liked, but she was from another family.
The light bulb left, and Ye Tang pushed Jamel Xiao's face away: "Go cool off, it's so corny, don't disturb me from watching the competition."
Jamel Xiao sat opposite her with a wronged look on his face.
On the ring, someone came to challenge Shangguan Qiang, and the two fought to a stalemate.
Although Shangguan Qiang was very strong, his body movements were not as agile as his opponent, so the opponent kept dodging and did not engage in close combat with him.
But Shangguan Qiang was experienced after all. It only took him half a moment to find his opponent's weakness and grab his opponent's right foot when he was not paying attention.
With a strong effort, he lifted the man up and threw him off the stage.
There was cheering from the audience.
Not long after, another person came on stage to challenge.
The moment he saw that person, Ye Tang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Jamel Xiao: "When did you arrange this?"
Xiao Jingxuan blinked his eyes: "When I got Nalan Xu drunk in the carriage."
The challenger on the ring was one of the attendants brought by Xiao Jingxuan and the others, or to be more precise, a soldier of the Flame Army.
The soldiers who followed Ye Tang and his party to Penglai were all officers and soldiers of the Flame Army. There were three deputy generals alone, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts.
The Flame Army soldier on the stage now is Zhong Kui, one of the three deputy generals. He is the most powerful person in the Flame Army. Although he is not as good as Ye Peng, Ye Tang and Shangguan Zhenhua, he is not bad either.
Zhong Kui had the body of a puppet and a domineering look in his eyes. As soon as the competition started, he approached and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Shangguan Qiang.
"What kind of reckless man dares to compete with Shangguan Qiang in strength?"
"It's just a matter of life and death!"
There was a chorus of laughter from the audience, and many people were shouting and cheering for Shangguan Qiang.
Of course, there were also people cheering for Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui was eventually defeated.
However, Shangguan Qiangsheng was not at an easy time either. His face was covered with sweat and he was breathing heavily from exhaustion.
He looked at Zhong Kui with sharp eyes: "Who are you?"
Zhong Kui stood up tiredly and frowned at him: "The challenger does not need to reveal his identity. Isn't this the rule you set? Zhong has lost. Goodbye!"
He turned and left. Shangguan Qiang winked at a few people in the crowd below, and they immediately followed Zhong Kui.
The Shangguan clan would not let go of someone with great strength like Zhong Kui, but they did not want to kill him either. Instead, they wanted to win him over. All those who had great strength were worthy of being won over by the Shangguan clan.
Seeing this, Ye Tang and the other two sneered.
Shangguan Qiang was tired from being beaten by Zhong Kui, so he temporarily withdrew from the stage. His replacement came up, also from the Shangguan family.
It’s just that this person doesn’t have very great strength, but his martial arts moves are extremely powerful.
Even without divine power, the Shangguan clan disciples are extremely powerful in combat.
After watching the fight for an hour, Ye Tang and the other man came out of the private room.
Upon seeing this, the attendant hurried to inform Nalan Xu.
When Nalan Xu came over, Xiao Jingxuan said, "I admire your country's shipbuilding technology very much. I wonder if His Royal Highness the Grandson can take me to see the big ships of your Penglai Kingdom."
When Nalan Xu heard this, he naturally understood that what Xiao Jingxuan wanted to see was not an ordinary large ship, but those warships that did not exist in the outside world.
"No problem." Nalan Xu agreed readily. The emperor had already instructed in advance that if there was a chance, he would take the Yuan Dynasty delegation to see Penglai's warships and let them see Penglai's national strength.
Therefore, even if Xiao Jingxuan didn't say it, Nalan Xu would take him there.
After leaving the restaurant and getting on a carriage, the couple followed Nalan Xu to the northern suburbs, where there was a river connected to the sea.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived.
Before getting off the carriage, Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan heard a noisy sound.
Nalanxu was the first to get off the carriage.
Ye Tang and the other man followed them down and saw the huge warships in the river at a glance.
These warships and treasure ships look similar to the Fu ships in appearance, but they are much more stable than the Fu ships, and they are domineering and majestic.
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan stood on the shore and looked up at the big ship. In comparison, they looked so small.
Seeing Nalan Ze bringing a few outsiders to visit the warship, a commander hurried over and asked about the identities of Ye Tang and the other two.
Upon learning that they were an envoy from the Yuan Dynasty, the commander smiled proudly and volunteered to lead the way for them to visit the warships.
"My Penglai warship is a giant on the sea, and the warships here are just ordinary ones."
"..."
The commander's voice was full of pride, and there was also some contempt for Ye Tang and the others. After all, the Yuan Dynasty could not build a ship as big as their Penglai Kingdom.
Although they were reluctant to admit it, after seeing it with their own eyes, Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan clearly realized the gap between the Yuan Dynasty and the Penglai Kingdom.
The Yuan Dynasty was a latecomer. Although it made rapid progress, it was still much weaker than great powers like the Penglai Kingdom that had existed for hundreds of years.
It was already dusk when we finished visiting the battleship.
Nalan Xu took Ye Tang and the other two to a restaurant for a big meal, then sent them back to the royal villa, and then returned to the Prince's Mansion.
After returning to their residence, Ye Tang and the other person immediately sent someone to call Zhong Kui over.
Zhong Kui arrived soon, with no injuries on his body. Xiao Jingxuan asked, "Were you stopped by the Shangguan clan?"
Zhong Kui nodded: "They were stopped, but they didn't hurt me, they just wanted to..."
When he said this, he looked a little uncomfortable.
