The grass in the factory should be plucked

Xie Buli and Xie Buqi happily went to inspect their "territory".

Jiang Li called the Rejuvenating Ivy and the Gold-Eating Grass over again, and asked them to take out two hours every day to form a Five Elements Formation with the other three spiritual plants, place the dragon egg in the formation, and use the Five Elements spiritual energy to nourish it and help it hatch as soon as possible.

Both the Rejuvenating Ivy and the Gold Devouring Grass knew that the Dragon Egg was the true master of the Dragon Palace. They did not dare to neglect the situation and responded in unison, "Yes!"

The dragon egg was very grateful: "Sister, I'm so lucky to have met you!"

Fortunately, he met Jiang Li, and fortunately, he made a prompt decision and immediately signed a life contract with her, forcing himself to become her life spirit pet. Otherwise, when the spiritual energy of the Dragon Palace was exhausted, he would have died alone in that dilapidated Dragon Palace.

Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you want to repay my kindness, then live well. I am still waiting to share your dragon clan's ten thousand-year lifespan."

The contract they signed was a life contract, which stipulated that they would live and die together, and share joys and sorrows. Although the risk was great when the dragon egg was young, the rewards would be huge when it grew up.

As the dragon race has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, even if Jiang Li doesn't practice cultivation, he can still live like a thousand-year-old turtle or a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise.

What's more, the dragon's body is indestructible, and the adult dragons have powerful magic powers. With Dandan as her natal spiritual pet, she can walk sideways in the Tianyan Realm!

The problem is, this dragon is still a baby and hasn't even hatched!

Not only does she have to take the trouble to help him hatch, but she also has to share the joys and sorrows with him, worry about him, and protect him through his fragile childhood!

Jiang Li rolled her eyes at Longdan, and he quickly said with a smile, "Sister, I will work hard, and you can just wait and enjoy the happiness."

"Wait and see."

Jiang Li glanced at him with a half-smile. Long Dan's scalp tingled, and he said hurriedly, "Sister, I'll go look after the two little ones!"

He jumped and skipped as if escaping, and went to find Xie Buli and Xie Buqi.

That night, Jiang Li set up a sumptuous banquet in the main hall of the Dragon Palace to celebrate the restoration of the Dragon Palace to its original appearance.

Longdan, Jiang Li, Xie Changan and their family of six sat together. Even Xie Wuyou and Xie Wuchou, who were still breastfeeding, were held by their parents to attend the family dinner.

The dragon egg was extremely happy. Five hundred years ago, the dragon clan was destroyed and his family was broken up. Five hundred years later, he unexpectedly had a family again!

It's a pity that the pearl is far away in the South China Sea...

Jiang Li has no time to care about him now. She has to keep an eye on Xie Buqi, this curious little guy. In order to show that he is a big brother, he wants to secretly give his younger siblings a taste of any delicious food he eats.

"Buqi, don't let your sister eat this! She hasn't grown any teeth yet, so she can't eat anything!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Buqi put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Mother, the Grand Tutor said that you should not talk while eating and should not talk while sleeping."

The parents were stunned.

Jiang Li said coldly, "Didn't the Grand Tutor ever say that if a son is not taught well, it's the father's fault? Shouldn't you ask your father to impose family rules?"

Xie Changan suppressed his laughter and said with a straight face, "Exactly, your mother is right."

Xie Buqi immediately burst into tears: "Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong! Buqi will never feed my brothers and sisters carelessly again!"

"anything else?"

Xie Buqi's eyes rolled around: "No more."

"Ok?"

Xie Buqi rushed over, hugged his mother and acted coquettishly: "Buqi, be a good boy in the future, listen to what mother says, and don't talk back to mother..."

Longdan watched all this, laughed, and felt extremely warm in his heart.

When they were enjoying themselves, Jiang Li suddenly received a message from Mingzhu:

"Little Fairy, there's an urgent military report from the East China Sea outpost!"

Jiang Li was startled and asked solemnly, "What's going on?"

Mingzhu said, "The East China Sea outpost intercepted several bottles that had drifted from Japan, each containing a note..."

"What does it say?"

Mingzhu shook her head and said, "I don't understand. It seems to be the language of the Great Chu, but it's missing some parts and makes no sense."

"?"

Jiang Li was also confused. Who would throw a bottle with a note in it into the sea?

If the bottle was meant to deliver a message, how could it possibly have reached the shore in the vast ocean, when would it have drifted to shore?

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Jifeng and Suifeng to go over there and bring the bottle back."

"it is good."

Xie Changan also heard the conversation between the two through the heart-to-heart contract.

"This is a message in a bottle," he said.

"A message in a bottle? What's its use?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

"It's just to pass on the message." Xie Changan said.

Xie Wuchou in his arms had fallen asleep sweetly. Xie Changan adjusted his posture to make the little girl in his arms sleep more comfortably, and continued, "It is recorded in military books that there was a famous general in the previous dynasty, Shi Wansui, who used bamboo tubes that floated on the water to transmit military information."

He recounted this account in detail.

During the previous dynasty, a large-scale rebellion broke out in eastern Zhejiang, and two generals were ordered to go and quell the rebellion.

Yang Su was the main general and Shi Wansui was the deputy general.

The terrain in eastern Zhejiang is complex, with dense mountains, rivers and towering ancient trees. Shi Wansui, the vanguard, lost contact with the army led by commander Yang Su. He led the vanguard through the mountains and forests for more than three months, but was unable to find the main force.

Yang Su also thought that Shi Wansui's entire army had been wiped out.

Unexpectedly, one day, Yang Su's men went to the stream to fetch water, but accidentally fished out a bamboo tube from the stream. The bamboo tube was plugged with a bamboo stopper. Inside was a letter written on a piece of silk. The content was the victory report written by Shi Wansui the day before!

Yang Su was overjoyed. Following the direction marked in the letter, he went upstream along the stream and finally met up with Shi Wansui's vanguard army.

Shi Wansui was also overjoyed. He said that he had written many such bamboo tube letters and let them float down the river, believing that one of them would be picked up by the coach. Sure enough, it worked!

The fact that he used the "drift bottle" to convey military intelligence was reported to the emperor. The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded Shi Wansui handsomely.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and smiled, "General Shi knew the army would definitely need to find a water source, so he placed the bamboo tube letter in the stream, letting it float downstream. There's a good chance the army will find it."

"But how can someone who throws a bottle into the sea ensure that someone will find it?"

The sea is not a stream with a fixed direction. A bottle thrown into the sea is truly a drop in the ocean. No one knows where it will drift to!

"Perhaps, that person didn't have a fixed direction, and just wanted to send the message out?"

Xie Changan pondered.

The island nation of Japan is now like a closed country. That person just wants to send the message out, as long as someone picks it up.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, "Or perhaps the messenger knew that there is an outpost we have set up in the East China Sea!"

"This message in a bottle is meant for us!"

"That's right!" Xie Changan nodded.

The sea tribe army led by Mingzhu set up numerous outposts around the Japanese Islands, closely monitoring the every move of the Japanese island nation.

That's why the other party was certain that the message in the bottle he threw into the sea would most likely be intercepted by the sentry!

In this case, it is obvious to whom that person wants to send the message in the bottle!
