Chapter 561: Sea and sky

"Is the bone injury healed?"

Back in the house, Sanniang sat cross-legged to recuperate with a serious and holy face, not wanting anyone to notice that she was wet.

Zhao Changhe asked casually while wiping his hair in front of him.

Sanniang grumbled in annoyance: "Can't you let them rest quietly? They're walking around and talking too much. Their wet hair is shaking all over the place, and it's soaking me..."

Zhao Changhe took a look and said, "You're not wet either..."

I looked down again, could it be my period

Sanniang covered her face in anger and said, "Where are you looking?"

"Cough." Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "I want to ask you about your bone injury."

"It's not completely healed. If you use too much force, it still hurts. It doesn't affect you in general, but it will be a burden if you fight hard." Sanniang asked curiously, "Why? Do you think your boxing skills have improved and you want to defeat me?"

Zhao Changhe said: "We have run out of medicine. I haven't thought about this in the past two days. I just asked Lai Qi, and he has medicine on the ship..."

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, yes...

Zhao Changhe took a bottle of medicine and sat beside her: "I studied it and it's still effective. I'll apply some more to you. The war is coming, and I'll appreciate the extra recovery."

"Oh." Sanniang undressed herself very consciously: "Come on."

Zhao Changhe also sat beside him very naturally, picked up some ointment and applied it.

Unlike the time when he "accidentally" rubbed the southern hemisphere with the medicine, this time he was rubbing it openly on the hemisphere. Sanniang just glared at him and said, "Be serious. If you mess around again, I'll suffocate you!"

"..." Zhao Changhe concentrated on applying medicine and studying physics.

Sanniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she slapped him hard, causing him to look up reluctantly.

The sailors and crew members could not hear any movement in the house during the past few days. The actual scene was extremely ordinary and daily. The two of them slept in the same clothes and woke up together every night, just like before.

To the extent that intimacy became too common, all the places that should and shouldn't be touched had already been touched.

There were several times when Zhao Changhe woke up with his face buried in Sanniang's arms, sleeping comfortably with the ball in his arms. When Sanniang found out, she got so angry that she didn't beat him up to warn him, but instead held the piglet and played with it for a while.

At night, he seemed to have forgotten that he was angry in the morning and continued to sleep in my arms.

If being stranded on the island was an emergency measure, and hugging each other naked could be forgiven and forgotten, then there is really nothing to explain about these past few days.

If you are moved, you are moved. If you like it, you like it.

When I apply the medicine now, I don't feel as excited as I did then. It's just like touching my left hand with my right hand.

Zhao Changhe was applying the medicine, sighing in his heart. He glanced down and became curious about the previous topic again: "Hey, seriously, do you have your period?"

Turtle Turtle didn't think this question crossed the line at all. Instead, he was equally curious: "What is that? My mother has no sisters, but Ying Wu's side is full of brothers."

"…referring to menstruation." Zhao Changhe asked naturally: "We have been together for such a long time, and this has never happened to us…"

"That's it?" Sanniang replied lazily, "When I trained my body to the second level of secret treasure, I stopped having my period..."

Zhao Changhe was very curious: "Is this called Slashing the Red Dragon?"

"Really?" Sanniang said uncertainly: "I also heard that this will actually affect fertility, but there is no precedent, so I'm not sure. Either you go and Zhu... Oh, you are a pig."

She stole a glance at Zhao Changhe and found that he was still applying the medicine. He seemed not to have noticed the problem, so she sighed and continued, "I heard that Yue Hongling also has the second level of secret treasure, right? She should not be purely internal energy, she has also forged a sword body, so it should be similar. You can try to have a baby with Yue Hongling?"

Zhao Changhe shamelessly hugged her and said, "Can't I try it with you?"

Sanniang's eyes flickered, as if she was smiling: "Do you really want to try it with me?"

"I think about it." Zhao Changhe said directly: "I think about it every day."

Sanniang looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, let's try again later."

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Ah?"

Sanniang sighed, "After I get back, I'll ask the Qinglong Hall, which specializes in medicine, to see if there's any cure for your unspeakable secret. Don't worry, I won't tell Chi Chi."

Zhao Changhe: “?”

Sanniang touched his face sympathetically: "Poor you, you must have been feeling depressed these days, it's okay, sister won't mind." Zhao Changhe: "???"

"Knock knock~" There was a knock on the door, and Lai Qi's voice said outside the door: "You two, we just estimated that we can reach Dong'an Island tonight."

Zhao Changhe lost all his thoughts and asked curiously, "So fast? Didn't they say it takes seven days to sail? It's only the fourth day now, which means it will arrive in five days?"

Lai Qi said, "The allied forces have scheduled a gathering time of seven days. In addition, we are not familiar with the sea area where we met you two before, so we need to estimate some variables, so we added some time and calculated that we will arrive on time. This section is calm and peaceful, and we are very familiar with this area now, so we can be sure that we will arrive early at night."

"So..." Zhao Changhe thought to himself that it was a good thing that he did not slack off these days. He just mastered the Black Tortoise Fist today, as he might face a battle in the evening.

This was not just a matter of learning a single boxing technique, but rather a declaration that one's knowledge and understanding of the sea had begun to grow, one's understanding and control of power had become deeper, and one was one step closer to the triple secret treasure, with a major leap in overall strength.

I am also closer to "Control"... To put it bluntly, every step now is to study Control, and when everything is thorough, that will be the day to reach the realm of gods and demons.

"The question now is whether we need to stay overnight and wait until the day to attend the meeting." Lai Qi was saying, "After all, we are a coalition of different countries. Arriving at night may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. I came here to ask you, Your Excellency."

The two people in the room looked at each other, and once again felt like they didn't want to face worldly affairs. They both knew that this mentality was wrong, so they sighed again and said in unison: "Just go in directly, no need to stay. When the time comes, we will pretend to be your crew members, and you don't need to make a sound."

Lai Qi agreed and walked away with a strange look on his face.

Such an unusual and long sentence can be completely synchronized. It's so magical.

The two people in the room also felt that their words were synchronized very magically, and their train of thought were so similar, they blinked and looked at each other for a while, and both smiled brightly.

Zhao Changhe took out a good bandage and wrapped it around Sanniang, saying with a smile, "I originally thought that the more supplies we had, the farther we were from the deserted island, and the farther we were from you... But it turns out that we are still this close, so there is nothing to regret."

After a pause, he stood up and said, "If you don't have that ability, then you don't have that ability. That's good..."

It’s really good, otherwise no one would know whether it is love or desire.

But after these days, it is clear.

Sanniang closed her eyes, worked hard to recover the last bit of her injuries, and said no more.

… …

It was a dark and windy night.

The Javanese fleet arrived at Dong'an Island.

The security issue that Lai Qi was worried about did not exist, because they were actually the first to arrive except for Penglai. The outside of the island was still very deserted and there were not many boats, but the island was brightly lit, and there were Penglai soldiers inside feasting and having fun.

When the patrol fleet of Penglai saw the allied forces arrive, they politely led them to the shore and welcomed them to the island: "General Lai, our general is waiting for you in the camp."

Lai Qi represented the face of a country. Although he was terrified by the Penglai army, he nodded with dignity and said, "Lead the way."

Zhao Changhe and Sanniang disguised themselves slightly, wearing Javanese military uniforms and followed behind Lai Qi. Lai Qi turned his head and glanced at them, saying, "These are all my personal guards, can you come in?"

The other general did not show any contempt and saluted politely: "Of course. Please follow me..."

This Dong'an Island is obviously a military port belonging to Penglai. It has the same supply and entertainment facilities as Taiping Island and is officially operated by Penglai.

Following behind Lai Qi and looking at him all the way, Sanniang was very silent and had a tense face. Zhao Changhe was also a little surprised in his heart.

Seeing that the Javanese navy could be easily destroyed by two people, I always felt that their maritime strength was just that. But when I came here and saw the Penglai naval port, I realized that their strength was not weak at all.

Although the ships are not as strong as those of the Tang family, they are slightly better than the pirates. The total number of ships is even greater, the military is well-organized, the equipment is complete, and there are more people. Judging from the strength alone, they are actually stronger than the pirates, and compared with small countries like Java, they are completely crushed.

I guess the reason why it is difficult to deal with the pirates by themselves is that it may cause a lot of casualties, and secondly, it is because the pirates are in the right place. Looking for the coalition forces of various countries seems to be more like a trick to trick a group of cannon fodder to explore the way and step on the mines.

"General Lai is here? Please come in." When they arrived at a restaurant, a bold voice came from above: "I haven't seen General Lai for many years. I wonder if he is still as heroic as before."

Going up the stairs, a spacious hall appeared in front of us. A group of generals were having a banquet, but there were no women.

A middle-aged man sat in the main seat, with a generous smile and a loud and powerful voice.

One of Hai Pinglan's adopted sons, one of the most dedicated enemies in the hunt for Sanniang, and this time the Penglai commander-in-chief Hai Changkong.

The book of troubled times does not reflect the heroes of the sea, but in fact there are many fierce people. Hai Qianfan from the pirate side is a second-level secret treasure, and will be sent to face Hai Qianfan's opponent, of course, it is about the same.

It is very likely that he also has the second secret treasure.
