Chapter 419: Black Shop
Han Xiao's actions made Zhao Gangdan and the others also vigilant, and King Zhuge who had just recovered his past demeanor also found an opportunity to look over. As a result, they saw that at this time, there were already warships approaching them, and several pirate ships leaned over, and when they saw the incomparably flamboyant pirate flags on the pirate ships, Han Xiao and their faces showed a little relaxed.
If it's a pirate ship, they're not afraid, and the last thing they're afraid of now is pirates.
Yan Tong's expression on his pretty face now is very exciting, there are expectations and panics, looking at the pirate ship battle flag in the distance like a monster, a pair of eyes keep turning, I have to say that this little girl's eyes are indeed very beautiful.
"Uncle, what should we do now, are we going to escape?" Yan Tong looked at the pirate ship for a long time, then looked at King Zhuge and asked.
Yan Tong's tone was very calm, although there was a slightly nervous look on his face, but there was no panic in his speech, Zhao Gangdan saw this, and deliberately joked: "Little girl, aren't you afraid that we can't beat those pirates and can't escape, and then they will be captured as coolies?"
Iron Hammer also followed closely without hesitation and said: "We can forget it, at most we will be coolies for a few years, maybe we can be a sailor if we perform well, but women are in trouble, it is said that if the pirates rob the women at sea, the end will be really unimaginable." ”
Zhao Gangdan and Iron Hammer sang and harmonized, but they told some of the pirates' crimes, if it were an ordinary little girl listening to them say these things now, even if they could guess that they were joking, they would definitely be very nervous. Although Yan Tong's eyes flickered a little when he listened, the corners of his mouth were always raised, and he couldn't show the slightest fright with a smile, and even looked as gentle as a kitten.
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhao Gangdan said that they didn't see Yan Tong timidity for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel bored, so they simply asked.
Yan Tong smiled and said quirkily: "Several uncles are not afraid, and now they are still in the mood to scare me as a little girl, what do I have to be afraid of." It's really fun to listen to my uncles tell me some interesting stories, but my uncle never tells me these funny stories, and he doesn't hurt me at all, huh!"
King Zhuge smiled a little shyly again, but when he looked at Yan Tong, his eyes were full of doting. In fact, Han Xiao and they could all see that Yan Tong would be so calm, in fact, it was more because King Zhuge was by Yan Tong's side. This man who has been by her side for seven years to shield her from the wind and rain, although he seems to be very weak, but in Yan Tong's heart, he is definitely already a god-like figure, and by his side, Yan Tong will not panic.
After the joke, King Zhuge looked at Han Xiao and asked, "How do you fight?"
"What to fight, but a rabble, just scare away. Han Xiao waved his hand very boringly, and then walked into the cabin. Because Han Xiao is the only one at the helm of the current guardianship, he often finds a nearby island to rest at night, and Han Xiao naturally has to sail the guardianship out of the coast now.
Zhao Gangdan also walked into the gun cabin with a smile all the time, and there was no sign of going to war at all. On the contrary, at this time, Su Yue and Su Chen rushed out of the cabin, although these two guys are not unkind, but after all, they have a little bit of a relationship with Han Xiao, and when they saw Han Xiao before, they were all catching up, and the two of them simply stayed in the cabin to rest. Now seeing that an enemy appeared, Su Yue immediately appeared, walked to Han Xiao's side and asked, "How do you fight?"
Han Xiao was a little helpless, and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, just hand it over to the steel egg." As he spoke, the guardianship had already turned its bow, and at the moment when the opponent's warship had just entered the range of the guardian's spirit cannon, the roar of the spirit cannon immediately sounded. Although he had been mentally prepared before, Yan Tong couldn't help but panic when the spirit cannon sounded, and stood on the deck with his ears covered and looked overwhelmed.
King Zhuge stood beside Yan Tong very calmly, patted Yan Tong on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, this is just a small scene." ”
King Zhuge 's words seemed to have magical power, and Yan Tong, who was extremely panicked just now, has recovered a lot. Looking at the impact of the spirit cannon flying all over the sea, Yan Tong gradually looked a little stunned: "Uncle, have you often been like this before?"
"What is that?" asked King Zhuge with a smile.
"That's how it fought. Yan Tong continued.
"Then do you want me to be like this or don't you want me to be like this?" asked King Zhuge with a smile, looking at their current appearance, they really looked like a father and daughter.
Yan Tong bit his fingers, tilted his head to look at King Zhuge , frowned and thought for a while before saying, "As long as it is done by the uncle, I like it all." ”
King Zhuge continued to smile kindly, and after laughing, King Zhuge said very seriously: "Uncle did have such an experience in the past, but it was already in the past. King Zhuge wanted to continue, but in the end he took all the words back. Originally, he wanted to tell Yan Tong not to think that this was a good thing, but after thinking about it, no matter how poor Yan Tong was, it was impossible for him to yearn for the life of a pirate, so such worries seemed superfluous.
As a result, just when King Zhuge had just put his mind at ease and was about to explain the details of this naval battle to Yan Tong, he heard Yan Tong suddenly say: "Great, so exciting, it turns out that going to sea is so interesting." Uncle, I must cultivate hard, quickly improve my cultivation, and I must be a pirate in the future. ”
King Zhuge suddenly felt like vomiting blood, but after the collapse, he could only smile bitterly. In fact, Yan Tong doesn't know how pirates live, you must know that Yan Tong's biological father is a pirate, and Yan Tong must have gone to sea when he was young.
This naval battle is actually not very exciting, Han Xiao and Zhao Gangdan They look like they have nothing to do, but the combat power shown after the real war is enough to make people jaw-dropping, those pirate ships originally wanted to rush the guardianship, but under Zhao Gangdan's fierce attack, they could only slip away, looking at the defeat of those warships, Yan Tong still couldn't stop laughing. Looking at the appearance of the little girl, King Zhuge could only shake his head secretly, he knew that it would be difficult to stop Yan Tong's desire to be a pirate.
It's just that when they think of the place they are about to go, a place like Yin Sitan is estimated to be a place of nine deaths and a lifetime, and it will definitely be impossible to take Yan Tong with them at that time. In fact, King Zhuge already had a plan in his heart, maybe this time he went to sea to get together with Yan Tong for the last time. It's just that at this time, King Zhuge doesn't want to make these things too obvious.
"Is this the end?" Seeing that those pirate ships began to retreat without even half of them, Yan Tong asked with some unfinished feelings.
King Zhuge nodded and said, "With the skills of those small fish and shrimp, it's too tender to shoot at us." "Of course, King Zhuge is not boasting, and this is exactly what happened.
The voyage at sea continued, encountering several waves of pirates along the way, but the results were not much different from the first time. Yan Tong went from the initial excitement, to the calm afterward, and then to the final feeling of being boring, such a change is also reasonable, anyone who always sees the naval battle just broke out and then ends immediately, after watching a few anticlimactic naval battles, of course he will not think that there is any mystery in this kind of thing.
And no matter what strange thoughts Yan Tong had now, Han Xiao and their guardianship gradually sailed into the waters of the Huating Empire. However, after entering the open sea area of the Huating Empire, Zhao Gangdan began to show Han Xiao the way, seeing this situation, the corners of Han Xiao's mouth rose slightly, and said, "What's the matter, I'm going to find an acquaintance again?"
Zhao Gangdan didn't refuse, nodded and said, "Yes, let's go." ”
"Walking. Han Xiao was in a good mood and drove the warship in the direction pointed by Zhao Gangdan. Iron Hammer, who had been bored for a long time, finally came to his senses, and immediately got up and asked, "What acquaintances are you looking for?" Tell me, do I know each other, did you mention it before?"
"Hey, by the way, what is Your Highness Wuyue, are you going to look for her this time?" Iron Hammer thought for a long time, and then immediately asked.
This time, Zhao Gangdan became curious: "Do you still know Qin Wuyue?" he looked at the hammer and asked.
"I've met, that woman's strength is not good, but her temper is not small. Hammer said with a nonchalant expression. I really don't know what kind of fluctuations his words will cause if they fall into the ears of the Imperial Capital Monks of the Huating Empire, you must know that although Qin Wuyue has not really stepped into the ranks of super powerhouses until now, among the Imperial Capital Monks, even compared to many older generation of monks, Qin Wuyue's talent is not far behind, and his combat power has directly caught up.
But such a powerful monk who can really be called a genius has become a woman with "not good strength" in the eyes of Iron Hammer, and I don't know what Qin Wuyue will think when he hears such a sentence.
"Who is it this time?" Han Xiao finally asked.
"This time it's two people. Zhao Gangdan prompted.
"Chen Jiao and Bai Yi?" Han Xiao blurted out immediately.
Zhao Gangdan smiled and said, "It seems that the charm of the little lover is great, and I just gave this hint and thought of who it is." ”
"Little lover?" Hearing Zhao Gangdan's words, Iron Hammer immediately became interested, and came to Zhao Gangdan's side and asked: "What kind of little lover, is Han Xiao's previous woman? Why have you never heard him talk about it, is this kid abandoned from the beginning, and now that girl will not become a resentful woman." ”
"Shut up, what so much nonsense. Han Xiao snorted angrily and said.
Zhao Gangdan was smiling evilly on the side, he didn't explain anything to Han Xiao, and he didn't talk nonsense. Iron Hammer was full of curiosity about this, and chased after Zhao Gangdan and kept asking, but Zhao Gangdan didn't say anything in the end when he saw Han Xiao's cold face. Iron Hammer also knew that there must be no answer from Han Xiao, so he could only go back to sleep again.
Han Xiao and Chen Jiao were indeed a little affectionate back then, but after many years of separation, Han Xiao has also recognized the feelings in his heart, and some of the feelings back then were just the impulses of his youth. More than ten years have passed, and Han Xiao doesn't want to say more about the past, and of course he doesn't want Zhao Gangdan to say more.
As for how to guess that it was Chen Jiao and Bai Yi, this matter was really simple to the extreme, after all, there were only a few crew members on the Freedom back then. Han Xiao is the captain, Chen Jiao is the first mate, King Zhuge is the boatswain, and Zhao Gangdan and Bai Yi are the gunners. If you have to force it, maybe Qingpu can also be regarded as a crew member later. It's just that now they have all returned, only Chen Jiao and Bai are missing, this time it is weak that Zhao Gangdan said that he was looking for someone Han Xiao would not be so sure, but since they were looking for two together, of course they knew which two they were looking for.
The guardian ship slowly sailed into an island, this kind of island is not uncommon in the waters off the Huating Empire, it is obviously a seaport dedicated to black merchant ships to dock, the scale is not too large, it is nothing more than a few pirate groups temporarily put together, controlling the sea area that can be covered near the island, even if the merchant ships in the past are not black ships, they will be dyed black after they go to this island. Han Xiao has been wandering in the Black Cliff Sea for many years, and this situation is common.
"What are Chen Jiao and Bai Yi doing now?" After landing on the island, Han Xiao subconsciously asked. The environment of this island is much better than Han Xiao expected before, looking at the thriving scene on the island, Han Xiao also has a new estimate of the situation on this island. Here, at least a medium-sized pirate regiment is required to be stationed to ensure security.
Zhao Gangdan originally wanted to sell a pass, but after seeing Han Xiao's raised eyes, he immediately said, "Open a store." ”
"What? what are you talking about?" Han Xiao looked at Zhao Gangdan suspiciously, as if he had heard it wrong.
"I said they were opening a store. Zhao Gangdan said very indifferently: "The relationship between Chen Jiao and the Chen family has always been bad, and you don't know this, after the invasion of Western forces, although the Chen family did not become a lackey of Western forces, Chen Jiao still parted ways with the Chen family. At first, she followed Qin Wuyue for a period of time in the Huating Empire, but after that, because Qin Wuyue went to sea to fight too many times, she simply brought Bai Yi here. It's not easy for two women to make a living in this kind of place, and then they don't know what they think, so they open a shop. ”
Listening to Zhao Gangdan's narration, Han Xiao and the others were all interested, King Zhuge was extremely excited, he had always admired Chen Jiao very much, after all, Chen Jiao's ability in navigation and the talent of refining weapons King Zhuge had seen and admired it with his own eyes back then.
Of course, Yan Tong listened to everything new, listening to Zhao Gangdan's narration on the side, this little girl was jumping up and down excitedly, and finally she asked, "Uncle Zhao, what kind of store do they open?"
Han Xiao also looked at Zhao Gangdan with interest, but Zhao Gangdan smiled and said, "It's a black shop." ”
