Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 569: The heart of a warrior

Chapter 569 The Heart of a Warrior

The Tang family's big ship.

The fleet has been waiting for Zhao Changhe at the new pirate island. When the two men went missing after chasing Shuiren, the "loyal" Hai Qianfan did not look for him at all. Instead, the Tang family's fleet was frightened and searched everywhere. It's like losing my father.

Nominally they are maritime merchants from the Tang family going to Penglai. In fact, they are simply private troops sent by Tang Wanzhuang to **** Zhao Changhe when he goes to sea. Everything is based on Zhao Changhe's orders. If you look at it from the perspective of "a family's bet", this means that the Tang family is completely bound to Zhao Changhe, sharing weal and woe.

Of course, the Tang family actually knew what was going on, so they looked at the voluptuous and mature woman that Zhao Changhe had brought back inexplicably, with a somewhat unkind expression.

Sanniang still has to accept their kindness. After all, they saved the residents of Taiping Island from the Hai Clan, which is a great kindness to Sanniang. So she was obviously dissatisfied with Tang Wanzhuang, but she still had to be looked at by the crew of the Tang family like she was a vixen mistress, and Sanniang had to accompany her with a smile. In the end, she simply hid in the room and studied the few crystal nuclei on hand.

Tang En was too lazy to pay attention to the mistress, and said to Zhao Changhe in a very resentful tone: "Your Highness, don't be like this. You lead the charge and we won't say anything. Blood Shura, that's the fighting style. But this kind of alone Is it your duty as your highness to chase down bandits? How much does your safety depend on... If nothing else, if something really happens, I will lose my head if I go back. This is what I am doing to force me to live on the sea. Pirates..."

Zhao Changhe is a little speechless. The father and daughter of the old Xia family have recognized each other. It’s very embarrassing for the younger sister to have a dirty face but a badger’s neodymium...

"Evening makeup is not like that...maybe you don't know how to do it?"

"You said the opposite. I really lost her lover. Do you think it is the young master who will kill me, or the first one?"

"..."

Twain was too lazy to say more, and just said: "What's going on here now...I think something's wrong with the pirates, they're fighting among themselves? Do you want us to do something?"

"Well, we are cleaning... we won't get involved." Zhao Changhe said: "When you have been with the pirates these days, have you asked where the island we are looking for is? This is what we are here for. Important things."

"I asked Hua Zhenming, and he said he didn't know..." Tang En said: "Logically, the Tianyuan Pirates should be the most familiar with all kinds of strange and unknown places on the sea. Many kingdoms may not be as familiar with them. If they don’t know, it’s going to be really hard to find.”

"Why don't you ask me?" Hai Changkong's voice came from nowhere: "We basically share information about the pirate group, and His Majesty also relies on these eyes and ears to control a lot of maritime affairs."

Zhao Changhe turned around and saw Hai Changkong standing alone on a small boat, floating over.

Everyone was talking on the deck outside and did not cover up their voices. It was normal for Hai Changkong's strength to hear them. Zhao Changhe didn't care and asked: "Your Excellency, are you willing to share the information with us?"

Hai Changkong floated on the boat, looked around, and sighed: "What a good boat... I thought that we shared the technology of the Four Symbols Sect and the Wang family from different sources, and our shipbuilding level should be the best in the world, but unexpectedly The Tang family’s boat is obviously a level above ours.”

"The Four Elephants Church itself is not very good at this technology, so it would be good if we could get some relatively mainstream blueprints for the pirates. As for the Wang family, do you think they will give you the best technology?"

"That's the truth..." Hai Changkong said so, his eyes looking at the boat and bed crossbow, refusing to look away.

Zhao Changhe knew what he meant: "If you want this technology, there is no way."

Hai Changkong: "...Shall we pay? Any amount is fine."

"No amount is enough." Zhao Changhe turned to Tang En and said directly: "You have to make up your mind. No matter what the inducement is, this is not for sale."

Twain smiled and responded: "Yes."

Hai Changkong sighed: "Young Master is not from the Xia Kingdom, so why bother?"

"How do you know I'm not from the Xia Kingdom?"

"What island clues are you looking for? Don't you want them anymore?"

Zhao Changhe sighed: "One code is another code. After all, we are a powerful help for you to fall out with Poseidon this time, not to mention that the place we are looking for may be related to Poseidon. Not to mention this, it is somewhat He's acting out of emotion, I don't think Hai Shuai is that kind of person..."

Hai Changkong smiled and said: "Does Young Master Zhao know me very well? Why was Young Master so sure before I came here that I would cooperate with you to kill Hai Qianfan, and what one move he was talking about, I still don't understand. How Young Master knew what I was thinking. ?"

Sanniang raised her ears in the cabin.

"You stopped the general who tipped off the information last night. There is only one explanation for your behavior. You were actually protecting him. When I regard the pirates as imaginary traitors, it is completely understandable. More What's more, when we broke the formation just now, what you said just reminded me that you don't need to fight to the death with the water people to break the formation, just sink the ship... It's obvious that you are one of your own, at least not Poseidon's people."

"That's all? Do you dare to bet?"

"Huh? Does it count as a gamble if I just brag?"

"..."

"When I found out that you weren't cooperating, I just blew it off and lost some face, so I turned around and took Sanniang to run for my life. Saying it or not won't affect the essence, so I might as well just pretend. ”

Sanniang couldn't laugh or cry in the cabin, and Hai Changkong was also dumbfounded and laughed: "After doing this for a long time, you are really just bragging."

"If you don't pretend to be cool, what's the point of living?" Zhao Changhe said confidently: "Aren't you the same?"

Hai Changkong said: "Why am I the same? Why do you always like to say that I am the same as you?"

Zhao Changhe was not joking this time. He turned around and sat on the edge of the boat, looking at the vast sea and sky, and suddenly said: "You are a warrior, the kind who sincerely does it."

Hai Changkong was stunned for a moment.

"You want to confirm what you have learned, you want to be famous in the Middle-earth, but you don't want to know that you are one of the world's top two secret masters, traveling across the East China Sea all your life but being unknown... Even the king is looking up to you. , I think you are much better than him."

Hai Changkong: "..."

Zhao Changhe said: "I can feel that you really want to compete with me. The concept conveyed by the tip of the knife is extremely resonant. At that moment, you didn't think about anything else at all, you just wanted to fight this fight."

Hai Changkong was silent for a moment, standing side by side with him, leaning on the side of the boat and looking at the sea.

After reading it for a long time, he whispered: "I am not willing to accept it. It seems to be traveling all over the world, but in fact it is walking at night. It would be better if there were no books about troubled times in the world... With this thing, it is really stupid and touching."

"That's why it's called The Book of Troubled Times..."

"Yes." Hai Changkong said: "I know that I can no longer make any breakthroughs. This is the only talent I have, and I am almost fifty years old. I don't have the confidence to make breakthroughs anymore. I once thought, what if The king of men in troubled times is nothing more than this, so I can go back to Zongheng and conquer the world... But I must admit that I am not your opponent, so this life will be like this, and I will just do my job at sea honestly."

Zhao Changhe said: "Have you lost your temper just like that?"

Hai Changkong smiled: "There is no shame in facing the facts. You are very strong."

Zhao Changhe said: "So let's talk, don't you want to show your holiness in front of others, are you the same as me?"

Hai Changkong finally laughed: "Okay, okay, it's indeed the same."

Zhao Changhe turned to Tang En and said, "Get some wine?"

Tang En went into the cabin to get some wine and said leisurely: "If you want to be famous, you have to be drunk."

Zhao Changhe pointed at him and smiled: "You actually know what I mean by asking for wine."

Tang En also laughed: "Warriors share this same heart, who doesn't?"

The men's drinking and noisy noises spread on the deck, carried far away by the sea breeze, unbridled.

Sanniang secretly thought in the room that anyone who shares your mind and is famous all over the world should sleep instead.

But listening to the sound of men drinking, talking and laughing, the genes belonging to pirates and bandits in my heart couldn't help but start to stir. I pushed the door open with a "clang" and left the house, and went to Zhao Changhe to pat the chopping board: "I Drink too."

Zhao Changhe handed over the wine bowl, and Sanniang raised her neck and drank it all in one gulp.

Hai Changkong looked at Sanniang drinking freely, with some nostalgia in his eyes: "She really looks like her..."

Sanniang put down the wine bowl and glared: "What's wrong, do you still have a crush on my mother?"

Hai Changkong said honestly: "I was young at that time, and I had lived too much at sea. Even a pig would look pretty, let alone your father-in-law... You can ask all the old brothers, who doesn't admire your father-in-law, and I'm not the only one."

Sanniang: "..."

Zhao Changhe asked: "Is your opposition to Haihuang related to this?"

Hai Changkong sighed: "Young Master Zhao is really smart... The culprit of what happened that year was indeed the Emperor of the Sea. I would suggest that the princess go back and reconcile with His Majesty. After all, blood is thicker than water."

Sanniang was silent.

Although I have already made some guesses because of Hai Changkong's performance, this is the answer I hope to get. But for some reason, Sanniang found that she was not as happy as expected at all, but rather calm.

Hai Changkong said the same thing, but it could be seen that he didn’t really hope that the father and daughter could reconcile. He quickly changed his mind and said, “To be honest, we didn’t know about this at the beginning. The inside story, but when Poseidon began to perform miracles and preach, we have always been resistant to this so-called Poseidon belief. Your Majesty wanted to build a temple, and we even had trouble with him."

"Oh?" Zhao Changhe's interest returned now: "Why? Men who make a living at sea are generally afraid of wind and waves. If the sea **** can really perform miracles, it should be easy to gain faith."

"What's the use of that?" Hai Changkong said calmly: "Those who believe in will be saved, but those who don't believe will be punished by God... Then I would like to ask, what is the difference between this kind of **** and the enemy country that invades your country? Those who surrender will be promoted to official positions. Is it the same that those who resist will be exterminated? We have already destroyed a country once, and we fled to the sea because we didn’t want to surrender. Could it be that we changed places and came to surrender instead?”

Tang En was stunned and thoughtful.

Hai Changkong added: "Civilians can be said to have nothing to do, so why do warriors like us put our lives in the protection of others? We should conquer the wind and waves ourselves and conquer the ocean. Yes or no?"

Sanniang’s wine bowl was placed in her mouth, and she was suddenly speechless.

If we put it this way, is the belief of the Four Symbols Sect also a joke?

Although the teachings are different...

But in essence, isn’t it also relying on others?

Looking back at Zhao Changhe, Zhao Changhe grinned widely and touched a bowl with Hai Changkong: "Well said, well said, I'll give you a bowl!"

Sanniang watched the man drinking in ecstasy, and suddenly thought, no wonder Zhao Changhe always said that the biggest embarrassment between him and the Four Symbols Sect was that he could not establish his faith.

He always believed only in his own power.
