5.
Meatloaf and water were brought in on a tray with an orange on top.
"Be good to your teeth." Fang Tinglan grinned at him, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
The wound on the head has been bandaged properly, and the dislocated wrist has also been connected. Hai Lian, who is sitting across the table, gave Fang Tinglan a white look, grabbed the meatloaf and took a bite.
"Since we're making a deal, I'll say it frankly," Fang Tinglan paused, "I hope that within a year's time limit, you can kill someone for me."
Hearing this, Hailian didn't even stop chewing: "Kill someone."
"I don't know." Fang Tinglan replied. Seeing that the other party looked up at him in surprise, he spread his hands towards him, "I only know that person is hiding in Jiumeng City, the capital of Tisu, and the rest of the information is blank. Don't worry, if the one-year deadline expires, I haven't found that person yet." , will also pay you as a reward, a lot of money."
Hailian's expression finally loosened slightly when he heard the word "payment". He swallowed the food hard and took the water glass, "How do you calculate it?"
"Pay your 40% deposit first." Fang Tinglan took out a paper ticket from his arms, "You can withdraw cash at any ticket shop or bank in Tisu for the ticket of the Gubei United Chamber of Commerce—"
"I just want cash." Hai Lian said straightforwardly.
Fang Tinglan was dumbfounded, and after a while he smiled and sighed: "You are really a pirate." The man got up, took out a money bag from the cabinet in the corner, and poured out all the gold coins in it, "That's all right. "
No one would be troubled by money, after filling a glass of water, Hailian covered the stack of gold coins with his palm, and slowly moved the pile of gadgets in front of him: "One year is definitely not enough to find someone in Jiumeng City. "
"You seem to be very familiar with Jiumeng?"
"My home is in the city."
Fang Tinglan didn't reply immediately after hearing this answer, he nodded after thinking for a moment: "That's just right, I have to trouble you to show me around when the time comes."
"I can only kill people, not a tour guide."
"I can still add money."
Helian closed her mouth. He raised his eyes to look at Fang Tinglan, who just gave him a gentle smile under the lamp.
Don't be fooled by this guy's smiling and fake appearance, think about it, you have been struggling in Jiumengcheng and Yunhai for so many years, there are not many people who can be as difficult as this person. A voice in his head warned him. He hasn't revealed anything to you so far, and he just shot you. If he asks you to kill King Tisu, will you go too
I know I know. But the gold coin in his hand was rubbing against the lines of his palm, reminding himself that he was really short of money.
"...Why are you looking for me?" After a long silence, he choked out a few dry words.
"My family has been worshiping generals in the army for generations. Since I entered the Wulong Palace to study at the age of fourteen, whether it is martial arts classes or private fights, I have always been the number one in the same period," Fang Tinglan said, showing his arm Put on the wrapped bandage, the bleeding has stopped, "But I believe, if you had eaten at that time, I would have died."
Hailian glanced at the empty food box on the table: "Aren't you afraid that I will attack you now?"
Fang Tinglan smiled: "I'm not blind. You can't bear it when your companion is kidnapped. You will be moved when you see the captain's body. The little brother is just pretending to be fierce."
Hailian choked for a moment, and simply turned her face away.
Seeing this, Fang Tinglan's eyebrows and eyes became more curved: "Okay, this room is reserved for you, we have to leave tomorrow morning." He leaned over and put the untouched orange in Hailian's hand, "Eat it .”
The employer had already left the door, Hailian held the orange in silence for a long time, and finally peeled a piece slowly and put it in his mouth.
It is sweet.

As soon as Fang Tinglan came out of the door, he was dragged to a corner by the first officer. The first officer was a middle-aged man, so strong that he could almost cover Fang Tinglan's figure. The man's square face was full of anxiety at this moment: "Are you okay?"
"What could be the matter?" Fang Tinglan asked back with a smile, "The conversation went very well, this person happens to know Jiumengcheng well, so maybe it will be even smoother."
"I think you might as well find someone in Bolang Merchant according to the original plan. The pirates are cruel and moody by nature. It's really unbelievable. They—"
"Walking in the caravan will increase the number of people who know me, and it will be more troublesome." Fang Tinglan denied, "And this person..."
"What's the matter with him?" asked the mate.
"... No, it's nothing." Fang Tinglan swallowed the second half of the sentence.
After the short confrontation before, he was quite concerned about some things about Hai Lian, but there was no need to tell others about this concern, so Fang Tinglan said again: "I mean this guy in the room is just a money-grubbing Desperado, it will be very convenient for me to deal with it when the time comes."
Deal with it... The first mate chewed on the word, and then glanced at the door behind Fang Tinglan, "It's okay. What about the other pirates?"
"Isn't the military factory in Xianzhou still short of people? Send them there."
The first mate spat on the floor in disgust, "It's too cheap for them, you should have thrown all these beasts into the sea just now."
Fang Tinglan smiled, but didn't answer.
The first officer had nothing else to say, he looked at the dark sea in the distance, clenched his fists, and finally said solemnly: "Please remember, whether it is the king of Liang or the emperor, their suspicion of you has not diminished much. , we can only keep it a secret for a year at most, and you must come back no matter whether the matter is successful or not within a year, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"I know it well," Fang Tinglan bowed to the chief mate, "Uncle Chen, you are my father's most trusted old department, and it's up to you how Dongzhou handles it."
"The son of Zhenhai Gongfang Que encountered pirates on his first voyage, and accidentally fell into the sea during the exchange of fire and was captured." Referring to his former boss, Uncle Chen finally had a smile on his wrinkled face, "If this is true, Your father can come back alive from the bottom of the ground."
The young man shook his head with a wry smile, "If my father is still here, I don't know if he will scold my incompetent son."
"What nonsense, your father almost praised you to the sky in front of us old guys, and you are his pride." Uncle Chen patted Fang Tinglan on the shoulder, "You should rest early today, and the rest of the day Some are busy."
