On the way to find Shu Xiao, Da Liang realized that he had not prepared a gift to meet Admiral Joyce. This is a very rude thing for a female companion who is about to accompany him to a ceremony, and his hands are empty. It's just that Da Liang doesn't know what to give Joyce, after all, as Joyce, he shouldn't lack anything, right?

So Da Liang was ready to ask Shu Xiao that one of her women should know the preferences of the same woman.

After entering Shangjiang City, Shu Xiao jumped down from the royal griffin with satisfaction, and asked Da Liang: "Master has anything to do with me, even if I am allowed to break into the castle of the King of the East China Sea, I dare to do it." ”

"What did I ask you to break into the castle of the King of the East Sea, I came to you to ask you to help me choose a gift?"

"Gifts? To whom? ”

Joyce's matter must not be told to Shu Xiao, so Da Liang pondered it for a moment and said: "A woman, a woman with status and strength." Anyway, I need you to help me choose a gift that doesn't make her very happy, as long as it doesn't make her angry. ”

Da Liang's meaning is very obvious, that is, to choose a past gift that can be said, a ceremonial thing, without Joyce's ecstasy to see the performance, the favorability doubles, as long as it does not arouse her disgust.

These words turned sour in Shu Xiao's ears.

It's broken, the master didn't step on the two boats well...... Capsized. It must have been discovered that he was dating Gu Tao today, "status" and "strong" don't mean that Xu Man, the deacon of the University Alliance, manages 25,000 members, and it will be more than 100,000 people if he expands his enrollment again. Such a strong woman sees her 'boyfriend' splitting her legs, which is definitely not as simple as the roar of the Hedong lion. Master must have wanted to give a gift to coax Xu Man this time, and he also knew that he would not easily get Xu Man's forgiveness, so the request for the gift was not to stimulate her to make her more angry, and then slowly change her mind in the future.

I said that I had said that I would give a griffon, but it turned out to be a big giveaway. It turned out that I had given two griffons and a royal griffon to close my mouth, and although I was not used to his behavior, I had already given in after a walk around the sky, so I would help him this time.

So Shu Xiao, who thought he had understood Da Liang's thoughts, took him into a handicraft shop.

"Originally, it was absolutely right to give a woman a gift and a rose. But...... In your case, Master, it is estimated that flowers will not solve the problem. ”

Of course, roses can't solve the problem, doesn't this tell Joyce's husband-to-be Prince William that brother is the "old king next door" of your family? Wang Daliang pursed his lips, nodded and said firmly: "That's right, you can't send flowers." ”

Seeing Da Liang's strange expression, Shu Xiao was even more convinced of his guess: "Actually...... Women are emotional creatures, and their moods are easily influenced by something beautiful. Since the flowers can't be sent, let's send music, a smooth and soft music, it is easy to make a woman calm, once a woman is sensible, everything is easy to discuss. ”

"Music? Is it hard for me to sing a song when I meet? ”

"Who made you sing," Shu Xiao pointed to a beautiful small box in the store and said: "I asked you to send a music box, this music box I have long been interested in, inside is the serenade "Toseri", the voice is particularly soft and touching, it is my favorite song." I needed 100 gold, and I wanted to save up to buy it, but I couldn't even save 20 gold. ”

"100 gold! So expensive? Da Liang picked up this music box, to be honest, the workmanship of this music box is indeed very exquisite, its shape is a small house, the carving is exquisite and round, the lacquer work is bright and soft, open the window of the small house, and a serenade of "Ding Ding Dong Dong" will be played, which is indeed very good as Shu Xiao said.

Shu Xiao retorted: "Do you know what art is, this is purely handmade, its wood is spruce wood, this wood can naturally resonate with the sound, and after reprocessing, the music can be perfectly amplified without distortion." If you listen to it, you can tell that the articulations inside are all made of brass, and the notes on the soundtrack are very accurate, not a single frame is bad. Such a music box from the hands of a famous craftsman is at least 30,000 yuan outside the game, and it is only sold for 100 gold here, which is really cheap. ”

Da Liang has a brain melon and is still there tirelessly introducing Shu Xiao: "You also know that this is the inside of the game, this thing is a program from the inside out, and you can download a piece of music and put it in it." This is what cheats you little girls out of money, and it is also spruce wood, and it is handmade, and it is not bad at all, and you are here to make up so many details. ”

Shu Xiao suddenly realized: "That's right...... It's all because the game is too real. So do you buy it or not? The crafts here are very expensive. ”

"Buy ......" Da Liang found that Shu Xiao was not very reliable, but the time was almost up, and he couldn't afford to pick and choose. So Da Liang took out 100 gold and bought this music box.

Out of the handicraft shop, Shu Xiao couldn't wait to jump on the back of the royal griffin and said to Da Liang, "Master, I'll leave if there's nothing to do." However, I still have to advise you, one is good ......"

One is good? Da Liang looked at the music box in his hand, and his brother didn't buy two? What do you mean?

Da Liang wanted to ask clearly, but Shu Xiao had already flown away.

Forget it, let's hurry to the Pudong Fleet Admiral's Palace.

Pudong Fleet Military Port, this is the second time Da Liang has come here, and the last time he was escorted by the guards of Shangjiang City. This time, Julian led the griffons and the newly recruited soldiers to stand neatly at the door of the barracks, and when they saw the great light falling from the sky, they saluted him together.

The knight who went to Feichen Island to deliver the canonization book also stood here, and when he saw Da Liang, he said respectfully: "Hello Baron Feichen, Lord Admiral is already waiting for you, please come with me." ”

Da Liang and Julian followed into the military port, at this time there were many fewer warships in the military port than last time, the clouds of war were already shrouded here, all kinds of barges were unloading a large number of supplies at the dock, and artillery positions were being built. Everyone here was preparing for battle, and even the knights leading the way in front of them were stiffly nervous.

Da Liang made a simple assessment of Shangjiang City's military strength. It stands to reason that it has a level 14 main city as a backing, and has 10 archangels and 20 angels sitting on the military power, when Shangjiang City found out that Chongming City had a golden dragon without authorization, and had already shown its antipathy, it should quickly attack Chongming City, why did it seem to put on a defensive posture at any time?

They were not confident in winning this war, and it seemed that Shangjiang City's military strength was not as strong as they had shown.

"Lord Admiral, His Excellency Baron Flying Dust has arrived, and he is waiting outside the door......"

"Let him in."
