Faluco agrees with this sentence. He does not have a lord who is loyal to Kunji and the captain, but it does not mean that he is not loyal to Tisu—Simona, as a spy in the North Desert, manipulates the political situation in the South Kingdom. This is something he must not endured.
"I decided to monitor him like I monitored Fecona." Kunji continued, "This is no longer an order from someone, it's just what I want to do."
"The lord is dead, and the poisonous scorpion ambers have no place to stay. I simply sold the Black Mint at a low price, and used the money to disperse the poisonous scorpion ambers in the city. Maybe you have seen them in the streets and alleys." " Kunji smiled, "As long as we don't have a knife, we are just ordinary people."
Just like Dad, when she didn't hold the Hanyin Token, Sister Chun and the others were just ordinary boys and girls in Taiyan City. Hailian thought silently.
Kunji picked up the flat silver flagon on the table and took a sip to moisten her throat, "I'm too lazy to say what happened later, Faluco should have told you all, I want to know now, how do you plan to kill Simona ? He is not an ordinary assassination target, he will stretch out his neck and chop you."
"I didn't say I just killed him. I know that Simona has brought the Beimo people into Jiumeng City," Hai Lian said. He had been thinking about it since the treaty that Fang Tinglan handed over to him that night, or even earlier, but now, this idea finally emerged from his chaotic mind, draining away bit by bit. After removing the water stains on it, "Jiumeng City has to be restored to its original state...or even better."
The City of Dreams, which is intoxicated forever, should not be stained with other discordant colors because of one person's selfish desires.
Hai Lian also walked up to the beam of light, half of the young man's face was submerged in the darkness, only his dark pupils were facing the sun, and he smiled at Kunji: "Since you have agreed to board the boat just now, I want to take you to meet other the 'crew', and work on the 'chart' together."
Faluco was startled: "Hailean, you don't want to bring her to see His Highness Long Rong, do you?!"
"Can't you?" Helian asked back.
The sheriff was at a loss for words.
"Long Rong? You mean the princess who went to Beihong to get married?" Kunji exclaimed.
Hailian shook his head: "It didn't work out, we thought Beihong's men were soft bones, so we came back."
"Pfft..." Kunji chuckled, but didn't expose the casual lie, and asked again, "So she's also in Sand Ghost Bay now?"
"On my boat. Don't worry, she's different from those nobles. She's a..." Hailian couldn't think of an adjective for a while, so she said, "She's a very good woman. Besides, she's faced a bunch of stinky men like us. Moon, it's time to meet the pretty girl and wash your eyes."
Kunji was obviously amused by the word "beautiful girl", "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are quite good at talking. Okay, then show me this little girl Long Rong."
58.
It was not until evening, and the sailors on the Heisman had already disembarked together to have their own fun. Only the boatmen on duty in twos and threes were still cleaning the deck. When they saw Hailian coming up, they waved to them: "Boss."
"Fang Ting... Has that Dongzhou man come back?" Hai Lian asked.
"I don't seem to see him, are you looking for him?"
Hailian looked away: "No, I'm looking for Her Majesty the Queen."
"She just came out to breathe for a while, and now she seems to be back in the cabin."
"Okay." Hailian nodded, took out a silver coin and threw it to him, "Go down and have a drink after you're done."
The man responded with a smile, and made faces at the rest of the people.
Although the cabin of the Black Jammer is messy, it is not as dirty and filthy as a pirate ship. After receiving Long Rong, Hai Lian cleared out a wine storage warehouse for her to live alone, while the others slept on canopy beds with the sailors. But Long Rong is not in the small room, but sitting on a wooden box, reading a book by the light from the porthole.
"Where did you get the book?"
Long Rong turned her head and smiled after hearing the voice: "A sailor borrowed it from me. It's the first time I've read this kind of market novel. It's very interesting..." Her eyes flickered slightly, and she obviously recognized the sheriff behind the baron. "Faluko...?"
"Your Majesty." Faluco bowed to Long Rong with a wry smile.
"I'll talk about the greetings with Faluco later, let me introduce someone to you first," Hailian took a step aside, "The first helper I got was my old friend at sea, and also Faluco. The person rescued from Jiumeng City, Kunji."
Kunji pursed her lips, and walked forward carelessly, "What should I do, I don't know how to salute a queen yet... want me to hold a skirt corner?"
"No need." Long Rong smiled and shook her head, she stood up, raised her hand and hugged her gently.
The female pirate, who has always had no taboos, was stunned.
"This is gratitude and admiration." Long Rong said softly, "Thank you for saving my friend, and I also admire you for being able to mediate in Yunhai. This is something I can't do but yearn for..." She let go of her hand , Bending a pair of blue eyes towards Kunji, "When it comes to saluting, I should salute you first." As she spoke, she really bowed while holding her skirt.
Kunji looked at Hai Lian who was smiling at the side, and then at the smiling queen in front of her, she understood why Hai Lian said that Long Rong was different from the others just now.
※※※
"I've been thinking about it for a while," Hailian pointed to herself and Kunji, "no one knows what's going on in Jiumeng City now, I can't let Her Majesty the Queen just go in like this—at least I have to wait for me and Kunji to come in." Kunji ruled out the potential danger of Jiumeng. So I want Her Majesty the Queen to temporarily stay at Qianlu Beach... "
"I refuse." Seeing Hailian's surprised expression, Long Rong continued to explain, "I don't want to be the one who follows the crowd and waits for arrangements. This marriage has taught me enough lessons. What's more, Tisu, my country, we Of course, I need to use my strength to fight for it, instead of waiting for you to clean up Jiumeng City and let me continue to live in the golden palace on Jinqi Wutai—that is actually no different from my brother."
Hailian frowned: "Then you want to..."
"Let me go to the various family fiefdoms to lobby. I believe that Simona has no such great ability to make the whole Tisu surrender to him and the people of Beimo in such a short period of time." Long Rong tilted his head slightly, I couldn't help but smile, "Don't think that I'm a weak girl. Back then, I voluntarily gave up my inheritance rights twice because I didn't like to fight with others. But now, I have no reason to give up."
"But... just you?" Hailian hesitated, "Should we wait for those envoys to come back before..."
"And me." Faluco stood up, "Your Majesty has the clear code in my hand, and I have the password in my hand. I still have some archives of what they have done in private over the years. At least with the arrogant I am always more skilled than you in dealing with the nobles."
Hailian tapped his fingers on the wooden strips beside him, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, "... that's fine. Then divide the troops into two groups for a quick battle, and catch them by surprise."
59.
After the discussions were over, there was a commotion from the deck above, and the sailors yelled at each other and returned to the ship.
"It's getting late, anyway, there's still a long way to go back to Jiumeng, and we can chat on even the narrowest road, so let's go here first." After Hailian finished speaking, he greeted the kitchen, and the strong cook was among the ingredients. He poked his head out: "Boss, are you ready for dinner?"
"Bring the best wine and food to the deck," Hailian said with a smile, "I saw an old friend today and I'm in a good mood, so I want everyone to celebrate together."
The cook whistled, "Don't worry!"
When the sinking sunset kissed the horizon, this small banquet on the Blackfish also began. I bought exotic fruits from smugglers, and bought fresh wild deer and poultry from the residents of Sand Ghost Bay. The notes are scattered. The sailors got drunk, and when Fang Tinglan returned to the Black Shark with a pot of Hua Zuchun, he saw such a hot scene. He looked around in the noise, and soon found the person he wanted beside the side of the boat.
"Why, is this a banquet?" The man asked with a smile.
Hailian threw an orange to him: "Yes."
Fang Tinglan took it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, "It seems to be to celebrate that you met your old friend again, and you also successfully won the poisonous scorpion amber."
With this guy's intelligence, Hai Lian was not surprised that he would succeed in guessing. Anyway, he will continue to travel together for the rest of the journey. He said, "Kun Ji is the leader of the poisonous scorpion amber. Do you remember, that's the one..."
"Of course I remember." Fang Tinglan peeled off a piece of orange and brought it to Hailian's mouth, "It's that beautiful captain who told you that I had no good intentions for you and told you to dump me immediately."
"Facts have proved that she is right." Hai Lian bit his finger in retaliation while taking away the orange.
Fang Tinglan gasped, and withdrew his hand helplessly: "I think there may be more than this reason?"
"Ok?"
"One needs to relax." Fang Tinglan also leaned against the ship's side, and the evening wind from the sea brushed his slightly long hair. To continue to fight, to have such a rare peaceful night, it really makes everyone happy."
"You sound like you're praising me?"
"Of course I'm praising you," Fang Tinglan laughed, "You will be an excellent leader."
Hailian raised his eyebrows: "The first thing the outstanding leader will do after returning to Tisu is to drive out all the spies you planted in Jiumeng, along with the Beimo people."
The man laughed.
While the two were talking, the piece of music on the deck was also changed—during a boring and long voyage, each ship must be equipped with one or two sailors who can play musical instruments. Pull the ditty. People danced to the rhythm. Her Majesty the Queen has been fascinated by the melodious music of the royal family and the soothing and graceful dance since she was a child. Where has she seen such a simple and casual dance? She widened her eyes curiously and thought When she took a second look, she was grabbed by Kunji's arm. The woman laughed and pulled the queen into the crowd involuntarily.
"Aren't you going to dance?" Fang Tinglan pointed to the lively place, "I still remember that you are also good at dancing."
"I'll go again later. If I go, no one will dare to jump." Hai Lian pointed at the object in Fang Tinglan's hand with his eyes, "What is this?"
"liquor."
"Of course I know it's wine, where did you get it?"
"Hmm..." Fang Tinglan dragged on the end for half a minute, and finally decided not to tease him, "I just went to my subordinate's boat and asked them for a pot of flowers to commit spring."
Hai Lian was speechless for a while, not knowing whether to be angry with him for the first half of the sentence or the second half of the sentence, so he chose to shut up. He didn't want to talk anymore, but the guy opposite continued to bother him: "Before I share this jug of wine with you, I still have something to say to you."
"What words?"
"During the time you were in Beihong, Nanhong also had many incidents. On New Year's Eve, an emperor, a Liang king, and a Chen king died in Chijin City, and the Qin royal family was destroyed. Now Nanhong With Zhou Buyi as the head of the country, the six ministries will discuss and govern the country together."
Now he got up very directly, Hai Lian hit the nail on the head: "You did it."
Fang Tinglan smiled and did not deny it.
"Why?" Hai Lian still remembered why he broke up with this person five years ago - he wanted to kill Qin Weiyu, but Fang Tinglan refused, the reason being "cannot say".
"I don't like the 'emperor' thing, so I have to find a way, either manipulate it or replace it. When I learned that my parents died because of the Qin family, this is what I decided to do." Fang Tinglan in In the night, I looked into the eyes of a child who looked like they were spotting paint, "I was too naive five years ago, thinking that manipulation was enough. Five years later, I found that this was a wrong idea, and of course I have to correct it."
Hai Lian was not stupid, he quickly caught the loophole in Fang Tinglan's words: "Since you don't like the emperor, why did you help Long Rong become the queen?"
Because you are loyal to Longrong, and I don't want to make you sad again. Of course, Fang Tinglan would not say this, his eyes were very upright: "Because the national conditions are different. The nobles that Nan Hong prides himself on are just a bunch of waste who moved south due to the war of splitting the country, and their family history is also different. But in the past sixty years, what kind of hairpin family is; but Tisu is different, the imperial surname in this country has not changed for thousands of years, and Longrong is more like a religious existence to them—she must exist.”
This explanation is indeed tenable, Hailian pouted: "Why are you telling me this?"
"I want you to see me clearly."
Hailian waved her hand: "I already see you very clearly, you are just..."
"Bastard? Bad guy? Selfish bastard?" Fang Tinglan continued with a smile, "Then you really see clearly, thank you for the compliment."
Hailian snorted coldly.
"I always thought that I was a person who played chess. Whether it was about myself or everything, I always saw clearly. There was only one thing... a person, and I was always a fan of the authorities. I once asked my father if he was I like my aunt because she looks as good-looking as a fairy." Fang Tinglan opened the wine seal, and a rich aroma escaped from the bottle, "His answer at that time was long forgotten by me. I suddenly remembered it during the time I was lost on Rochester Island. My father said he didn’t know, and by the time he realized it, he had already liked it so much.”
He yearns for the harmony of his parents, and knows that love needs to be dedicated, elegant, meticulous, and resonate with the soul.
So forget that emotion is impulsiveness, anger, ignorance, and instinctive reaction.
Lord Zhenhai has always corrected his mistakes and never evaded them. There is one last knot left in his heart, and he also hopes to untie it on this worry-free night.
"So I'm sorry about Geng Tie, but I don't regret it."
Hailian stood there in a daze, watching the other party Fang Tinglan lean forward and bully him, breathing hot.
"Gengtie is just a life-changing post written on paper, and the life that has been truly delivered, I will not return it to you, even if you tear it up."
He gave him a kiss full of flowers and spring.
