Han Xiao has almost no friends in the imperial capital, and the connection with the Sun family is only because of the blood relationship, but until now Han Xiao still does not have much sense of belonging to the Sun family, it may really be as Sun Huaipei said, although it is the same blood of the Dongli clan, but because it is continued according to different inheritances in the ancient times, there is naturally not much family affection at all, Han Xiao is the real recognition of the Han family, after all, the Han family is no longer the place, and it is also a place where he has lived in peace and stability for more than ten years.

However, no matter how few friends there are in the imperial capital, Han Xiao still has a few, and one of them is naturally Pang Ying. This guy's foolish loyalty to the Huating Empire, Han Xiao doesn't like it very much, but it doesn't prevent him from being very optimistic about Pang Ying.

Hearing Han Xiao's words, Pang Ying's face finally began to glooze, and he said in a low voice: "The battle of the West Sea is already much worse than expected. The Western pirates must have known what was happening outside the imperial capital, and now they are like mad dogs, attacking our ships whenever they see them, and they seem to have made up their minds to fight a war of attrition with us. They already have a lot of warships, and they no longer only send three or five warships occasionally as they used to, and they have to deceive themselves into disguised as pirate ships. Now those people are going to attack in the open, and all the ships are flying the battle flag instead of the pirate flag. ”

Although he didn't have much affection for the Huating Empire, Han Xiao was still angry when he heard this: "These Western barbarians, do you really think that the Huating Empire is easy to bully?"

"It's not that they think so, it's that way it is. The wry smile on Pang Ying's face was even stronger, and even looked a little bitter: "The empire has a total of seven legions, but there are only four real main legions, and now there are three legions just thrown in the outer waters of the imperial capital, so there can only be one legion of Pompey in the West Sea." When the Great War begins, the Evil Moon Legion can certainly play a huge role, but they can't participate in the war after all, what they can do is to help us repair the damaged warships and spirit cannons as quickly as possible, of course, I'm not saying that this is useless, but on the frontal battlefield, the Empire does only have four legions to use. ”

Han Xiao didn't know much about the navy of the Huating Empire, and if he thought about it carefully, he was indeed a little derelict in his duties, but listening to Pang Ying's words, he now has a certain understanding of the situation in front of him, to put it bluntly, the current strength of the Huating Empire is already stretched, and it is definitely impossible for a single Pompeii army to defeat the Western pirates on the battlefield in the West Sea.

Han Xiao has also fought against Western pirates, and Han Xiao is also very clear about this, if you send ordinary imperial warships to fight against Western pirates, unless each battle is a large number of warships besieging the opponent's few warships, otherwise, if it is an evenly matched fight, the final result is that the imperial navy is constantly harassed, and in the end it is not to go, and it can't be fought, and the result is that it is crushed by Western pirates in such a tug-of-war.

In fact, Pang Ying was driven crazy under such circumstances. Although there are a lot of ships in the Pompeii Legion, but the West Sea is indeed too big, they can't always stay in the harbor, just waiting for the other party to hit the harbor, the Western pirates are not stupid, they can afford it now, if the Imperial Navy does not attack, they will continue to establish their own territory on the periphery, and there is a tendency to settle here. And if the Imperial Navy attacked, they would face an enemy situation where the ships were faster than them, the spirit cannons were faster than them, and there was no disadvantage in firepower.

Pang Ying led three warships to encounter the same number of Western pirate ships in the Western Sea at that time, but after the real war, their three imperial navy warships seemed to be played by Western pirates as monkeys, Pang Ying couldn't bear this situation, so he secretly swam to a Western warship when the war broke out, and almost fought to the death on the Western warship, so the warship was captured. The Western pirates were very decisive and fled immediately when they saw an accident on a ship, and Pang Ying also saved his life.

If those Western pirates were more daring at that time and dared to rush on the ship to fight Pang Ying, Pang Ying would definitely not be able to hold on.

"Those Western pirates have a kind of poison on their weapons, I don't know what kind of poison it is, that poison is not too poisonous, but there is one thing that is really hateful, that is, if you are cut by a weapon infected with that toxin, the wound will hardly heal, and no matter what kind of elixir is used, it will be worse, so now he ended up so miserable. While Pang Ying was talking, Sun Huaipei explained on the side why he was so seriously injured on the Western warship.

Hearing such a statement, Han Xiao couldn't help but be amazed, I have to say that those Western pirates who are looked down on by them, the so-called barbarian land, have much more flexible brains than them, at least from the warship, you can see the gap between the two sides, and now I see that they have got such a poison. This poison doesn't seem to be a big deal, it's just a few more days of being slashed. But the problem is that they are pirates and they are fighting at sea, not everyone can be like Pang Ying, and after being injured, they will be sent back to the imperial capital immediately, and there are grandmaster-level figures like Sun Huaipei to personally heal their injuries.

On the battlefield at sea, once an ordinary navy is hit by such a weapon, it is doomed that the wound will not heal in a short time, and after a long delay, it is doomed to be disabled if it does not die, and even the cultivation that is not high will fall.

I have to say that this poison, which doesn't seem to be very poisonous, is the real insidious storage zài.

"It would be nice if the steel eggs were here. Han Xiao said subconsciously.

"What can that kid do here?" Sun Huaipei was a little surprised and looked at Han Xiao.

"He said that there was a very powerful poison master among the Tianfu monks back then, although that strong man did not leave any complete inheritance, but at least some of the secrets of the way of insect Gu remained, maybe a few poison masters who studied the way of insect Gu were transferred from Zhaojia City, it was possible to alleviate the current situation. Han Xiao thought about it very seriously and said.

Before the words fell, Pang Ying, who was originally lifeless, suddenly widened his eyes and said: "What you said is true, do you know the master of using poison? Where is Zhao Jiacheng, is it a place where some masters from outside the world live, how can I invite a master from there?"

Looking at Pang Ying's excited appearance, Han Xiao could only smile helplessly: "It can't be said that there are too many masters living there, but it is indeed different from a normal city, I don't know if it is difficult to invite people from there, I still need to ask my partner for specific matters, after all, he is the young master there." ”

Sun Huaipei pondered for a moment, and finally said: "This matter, in fact, it is still possible to do it, those guys in the Zhao family city are not world-weary, on the contrary, because of the Qing ...... Because of the Zhao family, the people there like to get in touch with the outside world. What's more, you have a good relationship with Zhao Gangdan, if you talk about it, it may be realized. Speaking of this, Sun Huaipei said with some self-reproach: "After all, I have had too little contact with Zhao Jiacheng over the years, and I don't know much about the situation there. ”

I don't know if this sentence is explained to Pang Ying or Han Xiao, but Han Xiao is not surprised by this, after all, Qing Huang and Zhao Gangdan have said before that because of their special inheritance methods, the Sun family has very little contact with even the clansmen who are also tribesmen.

"Han Xiao, when my brother begs you again this time, can you go to the Zhao family city to help me invite people to come, and let those strong people help to see how this poison should be solved. If it can be done, I can guarantee that I will say that the ancestor of the moving family will recommend you to be a general. Pang Ying grabbed Han Xiao and said excitedly.

"Shang-General?" Rao is Han Xiao is not very keen on naval officers, but when he heard these three words, he couldn't help but be stunned, except for the general, it is the general, and in the imperial navy, only those old antiques can be named generals, it can be said that the general-general is the real leader of the major legions.

Pang Ying's words are really interesting, if they sponsor themselves to be generals, wouldn't they be suing themselves, not only will they give themselves official positions, but they will even give themselves corresponding powers, this is the real sponsor.

Seeing this situation, even Sun Huaipei on the side was a little puzzled, and when Han Xiao saw this, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Do you really need those poison masters so much?" Master Sun is just getting in touch with your situation, and your injuries will still heal in time, are you so anxious?"

"Is there such an urgency?" Pang Ying suddenly became very excited, struggled to stand up and said: "Why don't you hurry, my injuries alone are easy to handle, but what about those brothers at sea." I really don't know what you people think, you obviously have the ability to save the world, but you all like to pretend to be high and isolated from the world. ”

Pang Ying said excitedly, after seeing Han Xiao's face a little embarrassed, he woke up and wanted to ask for someone now, his momentum stagnated, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm a little excited." ”

Han Xiao had long been accustomed to Pang Ying starting from the position of the Huating Empire in everything, he waved his hand casually and asked, "If those poison masters can really crack this poison, it will be of great help to the battle here?"

Pang Ying nodded very seriously, and said very solemnly: "If those poison masters are willing to come, they will definitely help us a lot." ”

"What do you say?" Han Xiao asked, he also had a lot of doubts in his heart, he didn't have a fight with Western pirates, the most difficult thing about those pirates was actually the warship, not the so-called poison, even if the weapon was poisonous, the naval battle was fought for the firepower of both sides and the sturdiness of the warship, like Pang Ying's way of being injured, there would not be one or two people a year.

Seeing Han Xiao's disbelieving expression, Pang Ying suddenly said very sternly: "As long as this poison can be overcome, I can guarantee that this naval battle can end early, and the Imperial Navy will win." ”
