Cao Ke's spirit was shocked, and he said to the family outside the door: "Quickly let the Long brothers go to the living room to rest for a while, and I will clean up and go to see them." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No!" replied, and turned to go down.

Red Sleeves frowned slightly: "Brother Ke, how could this Long brother find you here? Could it be that they want to join our Cao family?" After all, Red Sleeves followed Cao Ke to participate in a one-day competition, and he had already heard of this Long Brother, and at the same time, Red Sleeves also knew that Cao Ke had a heart of love for talent, and his mind to accept the Long brothers was also very urgent, so Red Sleeves was surprised by the sudden visit of the Long brothers, but also with a trace of excitement.

"Whether it is to join our Cao family or not, it's hard to say for the time being. Cao Ke shook his head: "Long Yi told me before that the reason why they came to participate in the big competition was not because they wanted to rely on the big competition to soar, but because they had another purpose, and this purpose was even related to our Cao family...... I don't know much about the details, and I won't have until I've met them before I get the final result......"

"That's ......" Red Sleeves pondered for a moment: "Then do you want me to accompany you to see this Long brother? With me here, I can give you an idea or something, or simply report this matter directly to the old lady, and let the old lady go directly to see the Long brother." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to inform grandpa yet. Cao Ke rejected Red Sleeves' proposal: "The Long brothers said by name that if they want to see me, they must have their deep meaning, so I will go and meet them first, see what they say, and then make a decision...... As for you, it's better to stay here and take care of Xiao Yu'er, after all, Xiao Yu'er's body is weak now, and she is still in the stage of recuperation. ”

After speaking, Cao Ke stood up, patted the shoulder of the red sleeve very gently, glanced at Liu Hongyu again, and then pushed open the door and hurried towards the living room.

When Cao Ke came to the living room, the Long brothers had been waiting for a long time, and from their expressions, they didn't show much anxiety, but drank tea very casually, talking about something easily.

"Two Dragon brothers, I'm really sorry, there are a lot of things in the house, so I've kept you waiting for a long time!" As soon as Cao Ke entered the door, he put on a smiling face and walked towards the Long brothers in great strides, stretching out his hands as he walked.

Long Yi and Long Si, when they saw Cao Ke coming, their faces suddenly turned whole, they stood up in unison, and they also stretched out their hands separately and held Cao Ke tightly together.

"Young Master Ke is really too polite, our brother has only just arrived for a while! It was Young Master Ke that you took time out of your busy schedule to meet our brother, so we were flattered!" Long Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, and like Cao Ke, he pulled up his official tone and talked about the scene.

The three of them seem to be harmonious on the surface, but there is such a greasy feeling of incompatibility in their bones. This feeling is like the feeling that politicians from various countries meet on the earth today, how can we say it? It is a hypocrisy from the inside out!

Cao Ke smiled noncommittally, pointed to the chair and said, "Please sit down, please sit down, if there is anything, let's talk slowly." ”

After the Long brothers sat down separately, Cao Ke sat on the main seat step by step, slowly picked up the teapot on the side, poured himself a cup of tea, and did not speak, and tasted the tea first.

It didn't take long for Long Si to take the lead and couldn't sit still, so he stood up with a loud voice and said angrily: "Young Master Ke, what do you mean by this? Our brother came sincerely, you just gave us some things on the whole scene, and now that we have been sitting down for so long, you don't speak, ask us what we are doing here?...... Is it in your heart that our brother was born recklessly, and it is not worth mentioning at all?"

Listening to Long Si's words, Long Yi hurriedly said angrily: "Fourth, what are you talking about? Where does Young Master Ke mean that? Why don't you hurry up and make amends to Young Master Ke!"

"It's okay!" Cao Ke waved his hand: "Brother Long, we don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, your brother's visit, so I Cao Ke doesn't know what's going on, under such a premise, I can only adopt a more hypocritical official way of communication, and I feel very sorry for the alienation it brings you, but I know you will understand my intention to do this...... Right, Brother Dragon?"

Long nodded: "Young Master Ke did this, I can fully understand that this matter is that we came here suddenly, troublesome the Cao family, Young Master Ke treated us in such a more official way when he didn't know the truth of the matter, it was understandable......

Cao Ke was very satisfied when he heard this, stopped speaking, and continued to pick up the teacup in his hand and take a sip gently.

Looking at Cao Ke, who was full of indifference, Long Si's heart couldn't help but be angry, and he whispered to Long Yi: "Big brother, this Cao Ke obviously doesn't take us seriously! When did you and my brother suffer such dislike? If it weren't for the mission, I would ...... I really want to go up and punch him a few times!"

Long Yi secretly raised his hand to stop Long Si: "Fourth brother, why don't you use your brain to think about the problem? Why does Cao Ke greet you and me like this? Don't you want to take the initiative in our affairs? Now, we have a request from his Cao family, as long as we can complete the task, it is worth being angry!"

"Also, from my little contact with this Cao Ke, it can already be clearly seen that this Cao Ke is definitely not a good-for-nothing gentleman as rumored, and his city government and resourcefulness are definitely not under your eldest brother and me...... Next, when we talk about things, you better interject less! Just your temper, don't really fall out with Young Master Ke!"

Long Si nodded helplessly: "I listen to the eldest brother! The eldest brother won't let me make a sound, and I won't make a sound if I kill me!" It's just ...... It's just that I don't like this Cao Ke kid very well, can you wait and turn around and not look at him......?

Long Yi glanced at Long Si angrily, and said in a low voice: "Whatever you want!

As he spoke, Long Yi no longer paid attention to Long Si, turned to Cao Ke, who was seated, hugged his fists, and said respectfully: "Young Master Ke, you are a cheerful person, as for me, I won't go around in circles, and I will say it directly." ”

Cao Ke put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table next to him, and replied lightly: "I've been waiting for you to say it......"

Long Yi sorted out his thoughts, and after an interval of half an hour, he asked solemnly, "I don't know if Young Master Ke has ever heard of the Sea Clan?"

"Sea Clan?" Cao Ke couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this. Things really can't stand up to chatter, just two days ago, His Royal Highness Tang Yun, Prince Jingyun of the Tongtian Empire, passed through Wanghai City, and talked about the so-called sea clan in the dragon's mouth. Although Cao Ke didn't understand much at the time, he still vaguely remembered that this sea clan seemed to be being attacked by the Sunset Kingdom now, and Prince Jingyun went this time in the hope of mediating the contradictions between the two sides.

Therefore, Long Yi suddenly mentioned the Sea Clan at this time, and Cao Ke's spirit appeared in a short trance, and then he nodded and said, "The Sea Clan, of course I have heard, it is said to be the name of a loose ethnic group composed of many tribes living in an archipelago more than a hundred nautical miles away from Wanghai City...... Oh! I thought about it, it is precisely because the two of you are from the Sea Clan, so when you participate in the big competition, you fill in the origin of 'Sea Village', Sea Village, Sea Clan, it has a similar meaning!"

"Young Master Ke is smart!" Long Yi habitually praised Cao Ke, and then, a pair of eyes stared at Cao Ke's face tightly, and said seriously and slowly: "Long Si and I are from this Sea Clan! To be precise, we are from a relatively powerful tribe among the Sea Clan, the Sea Priest!"

"Sea Priest?" Cao Ke repeated with some confusion, "I really haven't heard of this. ”

Long Yi waved his hand: "Young Master Ke can know about the Sea Clan, it's already very good, I haven't heard of the Sea Priest, but it's reasonable......"

"The Sea Clan, as Young Master Ke said before, is divided into many tribes of different sizes, and usually, these tribes are independent, and each tribe also has its own patriarch. Only after a major event has happened to the entire Sea Clan, will the patriarchs of the various clans sit together and obey the unified command of the Great Chief. ”

"This so-called big chief, re-elected every five years, is basically the head of the tribe with relatively strong overall strength in the Sea Clan, and he basically has nothing to do in normal times, and only in extraordinary times will he stand up and lead the entire Sea Clan through the difficulties. ”

"And now, the great chief who leads our Sea Clan is my father, the patriarch of the Sea Priest Clan, Dragon Soars!"

Cao Ke nodded unconsciously when he heard this: "In this way, the two are still young patriarchs! Being able to dispatch the task of two young patriarchs at one time must be very important, and I really want to know now, why did you come to Wanghai City and do everything possible to attract the attention of my Cao family?"

"Young Master Ke, don't be impatient. Long Yi leaned forward slightly, making himself look more formal: "If you want to explain this matter, it will be a long ......."

Cao Ke picked up the teacup next to him, held the bottom in front of him with both hands, and said with a smile: "It's okay, no matter how long the words are, you have to say them sentence by sentence, I have time, let's chat while drinking tea." With that, Cao Ke saluted the Long brothers and slowly tasted the tea.

Long Yi did not pick up the teacup as Cao Ke said, but continued to narrate in a heavier tone: "No matter which tribe in the Sea Clan, almost all of them are accompanied by the sea for life, and the vast sea is like the mother of my Sea Clan, who gave birth to us, raised us, and accompanied us, and we Sea Clan people are also willing to accompany the Sea Mother for the rest of our lives until we leave this world!"

"However, the vast endless sea, in which countless treasures are drowned...... If there is treasure, there will be people who covet and seek treasure! These people can be called adventurers at best, but pirates at worst! And the so-called Sunset Kingdom is the largest pirate nation!"

"For a long time, the Sunset Kingdom has been rampant on the sea through their powerful navy, except for behemoths like the Tongtian Empire, they dare not move, some other races living in the sea have to act according to their faces, among them, of course, including our sea tribe......"
