Chapter 1347: Waiting
As for the main island of the Northern Islands, they have resumed their original operations, but they have stopped their operations in recent days, because their personnel have been injured, and if they attack the nobles at this time, it is likely to provoke them.
And on the other side, Lambert also returned to England with his Crimanes family, the reason is very simple, if they stay here, it is very likely that their identities will be revealed, and if they go back now, although they may face some small suppression, it is better than them staying here and being recognized.
And those nobles did not dare to confront the Crimanes family head-on, the reason is very simple, whether it is Lambert or the fallen angel legion under him, they are the strongest legions in the UK, although they are not as good as the Royal Knight Legion, but if it is said that it is the legion in the second army, there is no problem.
It is precisely because of this that they can still maintain a little peace when they return to their own turf, even if they sometimes get some harassment, but they have to avoid more trouble, so it is very necessary to go back now.
As for Peraro on the other side, they chose a more secure way to stay on the island and chose to retreat, in fact, their losses were not big except for personnel, and most of them were peripheral members, so there was nothing to worry about for them.
Their pirate group is divided into two parts, one is the core group, the other is the peripheral group, their core team is all Xia Ximeng's supporters, which is absolutely loyal to Xia Ximeng, and their personal combat effectiveness is particularly strong, and the three most prominent of them are Peraro, Lambert, and a Bertelem.
The Outer Regiments are really just some pirate groups at their disposal, or some real villains, because they need these people to play for them, and almost a third of everything they loot goes into their hands.
Although some funds can develop their own people, and even improve their own combat effectiveness, but it will make them lose a large amount of combat power in the process of fighting.
It is equivalent to them using money to buy their lives, and this method has been expanding continuously since they had money, so the small islands on the periphery basically belong to these pirates, and these islands in the inland basically belong to the core group, and the core group can enter the islands of the peripheral group, but if the peripheral group wants to break into the island of the core group, then he will be directly sentenced to betrayal and killed.
It is precisely because of such iron-blooded means that those troops on the periphery are very obedient to the command of these core regiments, of course, a slap, a sweet date, at the same time that they get the order to die, if they successfully complete the task, they will also get a large bounty.
But Peraro also has his own principles, that is, he set three rules for these pirates, first, women, children, and old people do not kill. Second, those who disarm do not kill. The third is the need to obey orders.
These three rules, any one of them will be killed on the spot, such a bloody method is the most effective for those of them who ask for money and don't want to die, and Peralaro also knows this, so he chose to do so from the beginning and did not choose other paths.
This way of operation has led to the pattern of the whole island becoming very obvious, that is, just like the ancient Chinese palace, the most core place, holding the most core power, the most periphery, is just cannon fodder, but they can get some other benefits to make up for the shortcomings of their mission, which is
Mutually beneficial, since they have chosen this line of work and have chosen to join their peripheral group, they must bear what they should bear.
Although during this period of rest, they could only fish for three days and dry their nets for four days, they were also happy to be idle, and did not feel that there was no money to be made, because they could eat their wages even if they were not on a mission, otherwise, how could these people stay here for such a long time and work so hard.
As for the current inner island, Xia Ximeng's harem has restored a piece of tranquility, after being helped out of the room by the maid two days ago, Xia Ximeng has been staying in the pavilion outside, not entering the room to rest, and staying here all the time staring at the state inside the room.
In this way, the first day passed, the second day passed, Xia Ximeng was not a weak woman, and she could also get sufficient rest and food replenishment here, and she was not as pale or weak as she imagined.
All the things Xia Ximeng can do have been done, and the next thing can only depend on Yang Qi's own, but thinking about the current situation, it is good to be calm, because if it fails, it is very likely that it will directly blow itself up, and the entire courtyard will be moved to the ground, which is why Xia Ximeng stays here.
Because a sentence reminded Xia Ximeng, the husband is difficult to carry with the husband, and the husband dies with the husband, as a woman who has been identified as Xia Ximeng, she did not follow him like other women, but quietly did what she should do on this island, and did not care too much about those virtual things.
But she is a woman, a genuine woman, some things will still be compared even if she doesn't say it in her heart, and it was precisely because of Grandma's words that Xia Ximeng walked into the room and made the last thing she could do.
And the reason why Xia Ximeng didn't leave was because if Yang Qi failed, she would die with him, which was where she was luckier than other women, and it was also the only thing Xia Ximeng could fight for now.
But on the third day, the room in Xia Ximeng's boudoir was suddenly kicked open, and a lazy figure slowly walked out of it, stretched out his arms and stretched his waist and said, "This sleep is really long!"
"You guy, you're finally willing to wake up......" Xia Ximeng stepped forward and said with a little choked up.
In the past three days, Xia Ximeng has slept relatively solidly except for the first day, of course, it is tired, basically there are only a few hours a day to close her eyes, in fact, it is because she is worried, and after the routine, Xia Ximeng herself did not have any cultivation, she also improved her strength, and directly jumped to the realm of celestial phenomena, which amazed her for several hours.
Of course, it's only been a few hours, and she is still worried about Yang Qi in the room, so she has always been worried, for fear that if she makes a mistake, the two will really fly together......
"No way, I'm passive......" Yang Qi said with a shrug.
For the woman in front of him, in fact, if he really said, he didn't know that Xia Ximeng found him two years ago, but Xia Ximeng didn't show any weird state at that time, just like a normal subordinate of his own, he was very clear about what to do and what not to do, especially when he brought the team here, he almost didn't have any expression of opposition, and he agreed to come down in one bite.
So to be honest, Yang Qi and the woman in front of him have not been in contact for two years, but in these three days, Yang Qi has thought about a lot of things, and he finally understands why this smart woman approached him at the beginning
Keep it so bland, and there's a little bit of a sense of distance.
may be to make today's reunion more flavorful, and he himself doubts whether he was born as a pervert in his previous life, why every time he wants to improve his strength, or if something goes wrong when he improves his strength, he needs a woman to solve the problem for him, almost every time.
And it is precisely because of this that there are more and more women around him, although he knows that the evil fire in his body is getting stronger and stronger, but he is not crazy enough to want to take her into the harem when he sees a woman, or what he wants to do with her.
But in such a passive way, I always feel that I am a natural color embryo, because the teacher did such a thing without any emotion, and he couldn't tell which side was at a loss......
"Don't you have anything else to say to me?" Xia Ximeng said as if she had changed from a smart hostess to a little girl.
"Of course you have, you did what you wanted, and I got what I wanted, isn't that the best of both worlds?" Yang Qi opened his arms with a wicked smile on his face, but he didn't take the initiative to step forward, still waiting for Xia Ximeng to make his own decision.
Xia Ximeng's eyes flickered slightly, and when he found that his conspiracy had been discovered, he laughed out loud, without hesitation, he went up directly and hugged Yang Qi, and said with a smile: "You are really a smart man, but I am really worried about you, unlike the white-eyed wolf in Huaxia......"
"You mean Ye Qianyu, right? Actually, you can't blame Lao Ye, he is not a god, and it is impossible to count everything. After Yang Qi hugged for a while, they separated, returned to the chair in the courtyard and sat down, Yang Qi said with some interest.
"Hmph, why doesn't it have anything to do with him? He commanded this matter as the chief of the general staff, and this information was also given by him, and he almost killed you, someone must stand up and take responsibility, and this person must be him, and I also removed him before you woke up, his position as chief of the general staff, and now the affairs of England, he can't manage it at all, he can only manage his affairs in China and the Middle East, and I am in charge of the affairs here, including intelligence, arrangement, and planning. Xia Ximeng said with an unhappy face.
Seriously, they are actually competing, not because of who is right and who is wrong in this matter, or fighting for sovereignty, the current Xia Ximeng is actually Yang Qi's woman to be honest, although it is only one of them, but her status is still higher than Ye Qianyu.
You must know that every woman around Yang Qi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not a business wizard, or in a certain aspect, specializing in their own field, and even unceremoniously, they are all among the best talented women in the whole of China, even if they don't rely on men, they can yearn for their own freedom and independence, and even that love is superfluous for them.
Xia Ximeng is the same, if it weren't for Yang Qi's relationship with her, she wouldn't even care about this proud person.
"Among the people who work under me, you are the only one who dares to choke him like this, he doesn't dare to talk back, but forget it, by the way, you don't care about food here, I've been hungry for three days, don't you have a bite of food for me?" Yang Qi was very indifferent in the front, and when he talked about food later, his spirit had already been raised, after all, he hadn't eaten for three days, and he was very hungry.
"Are you really strange, the first thing you do when you wake up is not to report your safety, or do you want to eat?" Xia Ximeng said a little speechlessly.
"Don't worry, they know I can't die as a cockroach. Yang Qi said heartlessly.
"......" Xia Ximeng.
