The sandy beach a mile outside the city stretches along the southeast coast and has five harbors, two of which are military ports.

Since the beginning of Pearl Island, it has encountered several invasions of pirates and surrounding family islands, and Zhu Youfu has been in the pearl and medicinal materials business, and often has to travel back and forth between sea and land, so the sailor has recruited a full 50,000 people, and it is not much of a problem for him to set up a marquis for himself.

However, his Pearl Island has the reputation of a major source of medicinal materials in the Tibetan Cloud Stream, and he is also highly sought after among many forces, which is much cooler than being a prince.

The sailors didn't think that they were inferior to any of the princes' troops, and when they joked, they scolded the ships closest to them as water dogs, because when Pearl Island was started, Ningjia Island had sent ships to attack Pearl Island because of interest issues, and was finally beaten back.

Decades ago, there was no Marquis of Jinyi, but his surname was Ning, and he was the young owner of Ningjia Island.

There are nine surnames in the Starfish Islands, each occupying a large island, and each of them is also a camp, until the owner of Ning Shao Island makes a name for himself, takes over the position of the island owner, and conquers or unites the nine surnames, and becomes the lord of the nine surnames, known as the Marquis of Jinyi.

When the Marquis of Jinyi rose, Pearl Island was also rising rapidly, and the troops were comparable, so they had always been peaceful.

And today, in the sailor station in Pengtoujiao, some people want them to surrender to the Marquis of Jinyi.

Under the stars of the night, the waves rushed onto the sandy shore, erasing the traces left by the big-headed crabs, but they could not touch the bonfire three steps away.

"Okay, those cowards, too scared to come, just in time for us to discuss. ”

There were a few leaders who wanted to take care of both sides, either sending their men to the Lord's Mansion and coming here themselves, or going to the Lord's Mansion themselves and sending their men here.

Zhu Shanmin simply changed the conversation with them to the evening and waited for the results of the Island Lord's Mansion together.

As soon as the matter of the island owner's mansion came out, some people were busy saying goodbye and leaving.

Zhu Shanmin was about forty years old, burly, with a beard, the firelight lined his face fiercely, he pointed with two fingers and a sword, pointing at a circle of people around the bonfire, "Pearl Island was sold by my bastard uncle, and it was renamed Shilaozi Yingzhou, tired of us, it is really hateful!"

"Dismissal, can you be willing to become nothing again?" he patted his chest, "I'm not reconciled!"

"But if you want to accept Zhao'an, I don't believe that this new island master can reuse us without a mustard, and when the time comes, it will definitely disperse our brothers and weaken our strength. ”

"Then what you said about Toucheng Jinyi Marquis is reliable?" It was Hu Chonghuan who asked, he also knew what happened in the hall from his subordinates, and felt that the new island owner was not easy to deal with.

"It is said that it is to surrender, but in fact, we do it ourselves, and the Marquis of Jinyi will help us, as long as we occupy the island, we will cede a radius of 200 miles from Qishan to them. Zhu Shanmin said, "Now that the Sea Clan frequently attacks passing ships, the Marquis of Jinyi does not dare to fight a naval battle, and we don't have to worry about him stabbing us in the back." ”

"I have collected part of the remnants of the water division, and currently I have seven thousand people in my hands, six hundred Tiger Brothers, and five hundred of you, Lin Bochang, and you Pan Patrol Guard are the most talented, and the fifty-odd patrol guards in Zhencheng can develop into a thousand people!"

Patrol Chief Pan, who was pointed at by Zhu Shanmin, waved his hand again and again, "I laughed, I was forced by life." ”

"Isn't life forcing you!" Zhu Shanmin's eyes lit up, "Then we must not resist!"

"However, she is the fifth in the combat power list, I heard that she can fight ordinary people, and there are more than twenty Zhuji around her!" Hu Chonghuan pointed to the big and small commanders around her, "Among us, count you, count me, and then Lin Pan, and seven of your sailors, there are only eleven, and the thousands of people below didn't die, so we were killed first." ”

"Brother Tiger, don't worry, I have a plan, the foundation of the Island Lord's Mansion will be completed by the Marquis of Jinyi, we just need to act at the opportunity, this first step is to gather more people, so much so that she can't kill them all if she wants to." ”

He bared his sharp teeth, "As soon as this person comes, he will close dozens of towns, there are many people who complain, and the people's hearts have been lost, we just need to unite the local villages on the island and the people with grievances to revolt together and restore the peace of my Pearl Island!"

"Don't forget, there aren't many people on her hands!"

The Lord's Mansion

During the day, Zhou Daoyou spoke generously and bluntly, and he had not thanked him, which was rude. ”

"The island owner is polite, since I have joined the Sun Clan, speaking for you is speaking for me, not to mention that I don't need to speak out of my mouth, everyone should know that the island owner is not what they want to lie. Zhou Qianming said modestly.

After reading the last official document, Zhan Changfeng looked slightly relieved, got up and said, "Zhou Daoyou, can you go outside with me?"

"Naturally, I would like to. ”

The paths of the Island Lord's Mansion extend in all directions, and there are often different interests, Zhan Changfeng walked a path at will, "Zhou Daoyou can stay, and not leave like everyone else, I am very surprised, and I originally wanted to invite you to the Island Lord's Mansion to help me deal with the island affairs, I didn't want you to choose the military camp." ”

Zhou Qianming suddenly realized that this was an opportunity to express his thoughts, so he did not hesitate and said, "Everyone praises me for managing a city very well, but I don't know how long my cultivation has not improved, even I thought I was going to stop here." ”

"Pearl Island is broken, I also thought about leaving, I just hope that there will be a beginning and an end, and the things in the city and the new island owner's people will be handed over, but I didn't expect the new island owner to come alone, and I am glad that I am more well-informed, and I learned that the island owner is the person on the combat power list. ”

"I'm very curious, the talent and strength of the people on the combat power and rookie list are rumored to be amazing, and even more so, only the top few on the list are the real cultivators, ah, I don't doubt the strength of the island master, I just want to know what the difference between me and the people on the list is. ”

The former owner of the island is a person who is very good at enjoyment, there are red lanterns with lighting stones hanging on the corridor, and there will be a few in the grass flowers, and at night, the beam of light passes through the green leaves and yellow flowers, blurring into a blurred scenery, Zhou Qianming has no time to appreciate, and he can't stop as soon as he speaks, and the thoughts that have made him toss and turn insomnia are poured out, "What's even more incredible is that the excellent can cross the gap of the great realm to cross the level and kill, which is really unreasonable." ”

Zhan Changfeng's surprise at him was also unreasonable, he had become the city lord of a main city on Pearl Island, and he had a lot of things to do from the south to the north, how could he ask such a question, "Haven't you been in contact with the people on the list?"

"I had a few contacts, but I didn't feel anything special, I was even able to beat a rookie who was 70th in the game, but I didn't make the list after beating him. Zhou Qianming was stunned when he recalled this incident, and still remembered that he was angry at that time and scolded the three lists for being unfair, and it was also at that time that he went to sea in a rage.

Looking back today, the unwilling grievances of my youth seem to overflow my heart again.

Zhan Changfeng seemed to understand something, "Then do you know the Dao Seed?"

"Of course I know, I remember that there were a few people who had visions of heaven and earth when they condensed into the Dao Seed, and they were widely circulated for a long time.

That's right, you should also know that the rookie list is based on talent and strength, supplemented by qualifications, and the combat power list is based on strength. If your talent is not ahead of most people, you will not be able to make the rookie list if you are strong. ”

Zhou Qianming sighed, "Is talent really so important, I am a middle-grade root bone, haven't I also cultivated to the great consummation of foundation building?"

"This understanding is shallow, talent, not just the root bones. ”
