Chapter 152: Turtle Wisdom
Jiang Lie also learned from Mrs. Bai that since Bai Xiance killed a lot of people at home and disappeared inexplicably, Mrs. Bai's hair turned gray overnight and became depressed and sick. Her body was getting worse day by day. Her current physical condition was declining, and her breath was declining.
Dying, life is in danger, no worries about morning and evening.
So Jiang Lie secretly swore in his heart that he would find Bai Xiance before Mrs. Bai drove to the west, and let Bai Xiance come and see his mother one last time.
Jiang Lie seemed to have learned a lot during this trip, but he seemed to have learned nothing, and he still felt somewhat lost.
After walking out of the Bai family gate, Ruan Lei asked: "Commander, what should we do next?"
Jiang Lie pursed his lips and sighed: "I don't know what to do, but now I have a possible way, which is to take advantage of Mrs. Bai's condition. After all, with Mrs. Bai's current physical condition, Bai may die at any time.
Xiance is a man who loves his wife, and he should also care about his old mother."
Ruan Lei asked: "So, we need to spread the news and let Bai Xiance hear the news as much as possible."
Jiang Lie shook his head: "Don't be impatient for a moment. Don't act rashly yet. You can go back first. I have to go home and be alone and think carefully."
Afterwards, Jiang Lie went straight back to Jiang Mansion. Seeing Jiang Lie return home, Grandma An quickly slapped her thigh: "Oh! Prince Consort, I didn't know you were coming back, so I didn't even cook for you at noon!"
Jiang Lie smiled and said: "It's okay, I can go out to a restaurant. Is Nan'er here?"
Aunt An responded: "Her Royal Highness is practicing calligraphy in the study."
Practicing calligraphy requires meditation, so Jiang Lie couldn't bear to disturb Yuan Nan'er. At this moment, Jiang Luo woke up from his dream and was stretching and taking a walk in the courtyard.
For no reason, Jiang Lie immediately thought that maybe Jiang Luo could provide some inspiration. After all, he had lived for hundreds of years and had an extremely rich life experience.
So Jiang Lie dragged Jiang Luo to go to Huaide Building for lunch.
Jiang Luo asked all the time, but couldn't get the reason why Jiang Lie took him to Huaide's restaurant downstairs. So Jiang Luo was confused all the way, after all, this was a bit unexpected.
As soon as he arrived at Huaide Building, Jiang Lie asked the waiter to open a private room.
Jiang Luo asked: "Hei Lie, why do you want to go to the private room to eat today?"
Jiang Lie responded in a low voice: "Because we want to talk about something more secret."
After arriving at the private room, Jiang Lie casually ordered some home-cooked meals. After the dishes were served, he opened his mouth and told everything he knew about Bai Xiance.
Jiang Luo pondered for a moment, then picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth. He chewed it for a while and said, "Didn't Master Li say that? I haven't even found it in the lakes and ponds. In my opinion, this Master Bai is probably hidden somewhere."
In a lake.”
Jiang Lie said with a look of disdain: "Can people survive underwater? My ancestors, I can count on you to give me advice. I'm not asking you to cause trouble."
Jiang Luo shook his head and smiled: "Hei Lie, how can you say that? Do you know why only the two of us died in Jiangjiazhuang? It's because you are the master of fire, and fire can't kill you. And I hide in the water tank
The fire cannot burn it. It is precisely because it was hidden in the water that I was able to survive."
Jiang Lie said feebly: "Brother, you are an old turtle. Of course you can survive in the water, but Bai Xiance is a mortal. Mortals cannot survive in the water."
Jiang Luo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You only saw the surface. He was born a mortal, can he only be a mortal in this life? I was originally just a mortal turtle, but later I swallowed the dragon beads and became a turtle dragon.
He has swallowed the dragon beads, so naturally he is no longer a mortal and can survive in the water."
Jiang Lie was stunned immediately, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and whispered: "You are saying that Bai Xiance may have swallowed the dragon beads and turned into a dragon, so he can fight one against a hundred and hide in the water... But...
, if he is no longer a mortal, why has he disappeared for ten years? What is he afraid of? Is he afraid that someone will catch him despite his abilities? "
Jiang Luo responded: "I don't dare to say for sure. I just have such an idea and cannot rule out this possibility. If you want to believe it, you can try it and search for it in all the lakes and ponds in the Divine Lion City."
Jiang Lie frowned and said: "However, I am a fire controller, not a water controller. If I go into the water, am I not seeking death?"
Jiang Luo smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that Sanxian once gave you a bottle of water-avoiding pills?"
Jiang Lie suddenly understood: "Yes! I almost forgot about this! However, the water-avoiding pill can only extend the time of holding my breath underwater, but it does not allow me to move freely in the water. The deeper the water, the greater the water pressure, and I
I’m afraid my body won’t be able to bear the pressure.”
Jiang Luo said sternly: "I'll help you. The water is my hometown. I'll give you a helping hand, help you explore the way, and help you find people."
Jiang Lie was in awe: "Although I think the possibility is still a bit slim and it won't be such a coincidence, it is still worth a try anyway. Without further ado, let's start taking action tonight!"
In the afternoon, the two thousand war horses sent by Yan Sen had safely arrived at the Shiyan Army station, and the weapons made by Tie Lang were also distributed to everyone. The cavalrymen who were assigned to the war horses cheered, and Jiang Lie was also overjoyed. However,
, Jiang Lie knew very well that there were still a thousand cavalry without horses, so he was still anxious despite his joy. After all, he still had no idea about finding Bai Xiance.
Inside the headquarters, Ruan Lei came to see him: "Commander, have you come up with any ideas?"
Jiang Lie responded: "I have an idea now. I will try it myself. You don't have to worry about it. First, settle the two thousand horses, wear clothes, saddles, and check the stirrups and saddles.
It needs to be replaced, and it needs to be repaired.”
Ruan Lei nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will arrange these two thousand horses. But... Commander, do you really want to go alone? Where are you going to find them?"
Jiang Lie smiled and said: "The secret must not be leaked. Don't worry, I will be fine. I told you, you don't have to worry."
Ruan Lei saluted with a military salute: "I wish the commander-in-chief great success!"
Jiang Lie returned the gift and said with a smile: "That's right, when the horse arrives, it means success. Our ultimate goal is to have the horse arrive!"
As they spoke, the two of them couldn't help laughing.
That night, after Jiang Lie had dinner at home, he took Jiang Luo out. In order to prevent the "Fire Controlling Manual" from being soaked by the lake water, Jiang Lie hadn't put the "Fire Controlling Manual" on his body yet.
Yuan Nan'er asked: "You all went out to eat out at noon. You have already eaten tonight. Do you want to go out for another meal?"
Jiang Lie had already made an excuse. Although he didn't want to deceive Yuan Nan'er, it was really difficult to tell the truth in such a situation, so he responded: "When we were in Jiangjiazhuang, this old man loved fishing. No, come to the Divine Lion
He has been in the city for so long and hasn’t fished yet. He misses the old fishing days and has to let me go fishing with him.”
"Fishing?" Yuan Nan'er's eyes lit up and she was eager to try, "This is really interesting! I have never fished before, and I want to try it too!"
Jiang Lie's eyes suddenly widened: "No! Auntie, please don't! What if I accidentally slip and fall by the water at this late night? Then I will blame myself to death. For your safety, you
It’s better to wait at home for us to come back.”
Yuan Nan'er said coquettishly: "You just think I'm a burden, don't you?"
Jiang Lie smiled bitterly and said: "No way! Oh, just be obedient, good boy! If I have time another day, I will build a fish pond at my house, a big fish pond! You can fish if you want! Okay?"
"Okay, okay! You go, be careful and pay attention to safety!" Yuan Nan'er smiled and patted Jiang Lie's chest.
Jiang Lie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a woman's temper is really unpredictable, but she can be made happy by coaxing her with sweet words. Of course, everyone can coax, but not everyone is really capable of building a big fish pond at home, and Jiang Lie can't help but sigh in his heart.
