For a moment, everything was silent and all the onlookers were confused. Sanniang even forgot that this was a battle scene and subconsciously scratched her head.
After all this time, Hai Qianfan, who was once thought to be loyal, is now a traitor, and Hai Changkong, who once was his enemy, is now one of us
How did Zhao Changhe see that and be able to play such a precise match
The water man was also stunned for a long time, and finally became furious: "Hai Changkong, what are you doing!"
Hai Changkong glanced at it and said, "I am very secretive in my actions. I declare that I want to kill those I don't want to kill, and I pretend to cooperate with traitors I find. I see loyal officials and patriots who regard me as an enemy and secretly inform traitors to guard against me, but I still have to protect them to prevent them from being discovered and killed by you. Do you know how I feel all these years?"
The general who tried to tip off the enemy by going to the toilet that night but was stopped stood in the distance in a daze, his mind slowly clearing up from the shutdown.
There were many believers of the Sea God in the army, and there might even be sea people among them. Before the Dragon King officially turned against the Sea God, Hai Changkong certainly couldn't reveal his true inclinations, so as not to ruin the Dragon King's plan.
The water man said angrily, "You dare to do that now?"
"If you haven't figured out that His Majesty has decided to turn against the Sea God after listening for so long, then your intelligence is much weaker than I thought..." Hai Changkong smiled and said, "Of course, I didn't dare to expose the truth in front of you. After all, I'm no match for you. I have to wait until this battle is over and I'm done with my mission. But now Sanniang and this Mr. Zhao are so powerful, and you're the one who's going to die, so why shouldn't I dare?"
Sanniang glanced at him, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she said nothing and suddenly attacked the water man.
I have said everything that needs to be said, there is no need to say too much else in front of the water man.
The next moment, Zhao Changhe's sword and Hai Changkong's knife attacked the water man almost at the same time.
Facing the combined attack of these three, how could the water man, who was already injured by Zhao Changhe's sneak attack, withstand it? In an instant, energy surged, water waves spread, and the water man was beaten to death, leaving only a blue crystal suspended in the void.
Sanniang took the crystal stone and still didn't say anything, mainly because her mind was confused and she didn't know what to say. In fact, Zhao Changhe didn't know what to say at this time, so he said something to liven up the atmosphere: "It seems that the Sea King didn't make a move this time? I didn't think it would be that easy."
Sanniang said: "Since He didn't crush us directly last time, He won't waste His energy casually."
Zhao Changhe nodded and said, "This water man is said to have triple secret treasure strength, but I feel that he can't beat a true Heavenly Ranking expert, right? We have three crystal stones..."
Sanniang responded, "A construct is still a construct after all, and it will still have many flaws. For example, it will never have a combat mindset as insidious as yours."
I'm here to liven up the atmosphere, why are you scolding me... Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was about to say something when Hai Changkong interrupted the two's incoherent crosstalk and asked directly, "Does the princess still hate me?"
Sanniang glanced at him again. She had told Zhao Changhe before that she had no hatred towards him, but that didn't mean she didn't have some problems with him. She didn't know how to communicate with him.
Since the other party had spoken so, she said calmly: "You were just following orders in the early years, and there is nothing to say. But Hai Qianfan said that killing me can solve many problems, and the same is true for you. If you kill me, you will have a great chance to obtain the inheritance of Penglai. How can I be sure whether you still have this intention?"
Hai Changkong laughed dumbly: "You have no intention of doing this at all. You are not my obstacle at all. Why do you want to cause yourself this trouble? Maybe one day when your majesty is old, he will suddenly think of the father-daughter relationship and find the murderer unpleasant in every way. Who can I complain to?"
This time even Zhao Changhe looked at him in surprise.
This is true, but there are not many people who can be so insightful. Marshal Hai is indeed a talent.
Hai Changkong said casually: "It doesn't matter if the princess hates me, as long as the personal grudge does not affect the main business. Let's do this for now, I will clean up the battlefield and then send you two to Penglai."
After saying that, he strode away and walked towards the warship.
The battle at sea is also coming to an end.
The scene where the pirate leader was beheaded was witnessed by some people. The pirates were so confused that they didn't know what to do. The fleets of various countries that were about to be annihilated finally found an opportunity to break out and soon disappeared. Hai Changkong did not pursue them. He needed Lai Qi to go back and publicize the sacrifice here, and the defeated soldiers of various countries would serve as circumstantial evidence.
Fundamentally shaking the faith in the God of the Sea would be the biggest blow to the Emperor of the Sea, and all the accumulation over the years would almost completely collapse.
To kill a snake, you must strike it at its most vulnerable part. Hai Pinglan endured for many years and finally showed his fangs to the ancient gods and demons.
If Sanniang hadn't come, perhaps nothing would have happened, Hai Pinglan's plan would have been implemented smoothly, and Hai Qianfan might have been a loyal minister until the end. Sanniang's arrival, on the contrary, triggered Hai Qianfan's defection, but in the end, there was no danger, and the result was no different.
If there is any difference, it is that the turtle was sent into the arms of the piglet.
Zhao Changhe pulled Sanniang's sleeve and asked, "Are you going to Penglai?"
Sanniang curled her lips: "You made an appointment with Chi Chi, right?"
"Well… "
Sanniang was very unhappy: "Chi Chi should be out exploring the island. It's unlikely that he will stay in Penglai all the time. I feel like it's useless for you to go. I came here to find the pirate group first, originally to ask them to help find this place... Who knew that things would change one after another, and I almost forgot what I was going to do..."
Zhao Changhe said "hmm". It can be said that among Sanniang's many identities, the one she really cares about and identifies with the most is the Xuanwu of the Four Symbols Sect.
Xia Chichi went overseas to find Xia Longyuan to teach her about a special place that could help her break through the triple secret treasure. On the surface, it was just her own improvement, but as a saint, being able to peek into the triple secret treasure at such a young age was a major event for the sect, and her position as the leader was almost set in stone. Zhuque attached great importance to it, and Xuanwu went to help in person, all because of this. In comparison, the rebellion of the Wang family, which was known as the center of the storm at this time, was nothing to the Four Symbols Sect.
God knows what happened on Sanniang's side, and she became the protagonist. It was unexpected, and my head is still buzzing until now.
Sanniang added: "I don't want to argue with Hai Changkong right now, and that's also why. If we want to find this place, we can't do without their help. I don't really want to talk to him, so you can ask more about it later, this matter is very important to us."
Zhao Changhe touched her head and said, "Okay."
"Don't touch my head!"
"Then let's go to another place?" Zhao Changhe took her hand and said, "We have our own boat."
"It's the Tang family's ship, right? Who says she is us?"
The two of them walked hand in hand on the waves, the sounds of their bickering fading away until they could no longer be heard.
… …
Hai Pinglan, who was talking to Xia Chichi, suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. It seemed that an invisible air flow was swirling in the sky and then dissipated.
He stared for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Times have changed. Ever since 'He' blindly set foot on land, distracting a lot of his energy and provoking your father... I knew this day would come sooner or later."
Xia Chichi blinked.
Hai Pinglan stood up and said, "Let's go, little girl."
When he stood up, Xia Chichi realized that he was very tall. He could imagine how heroic he was when he traveled all over the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. But perhaps because he had been injured for a long time and then kept fighting with the Sea King, his body was in very poor condition. He looked very old. He was obviously not much older than Xia Longyuan. He should be in his sixties at the moment, but he looked like he was a whole generation older, eighty or ninety years old...
Xia Chichi sighed inwardly and pretended to be stupid: "Where are you going?"
"You had someone search for a certain sea area before. Did you think you could hide it from me?"
"I didn't want to hide it from my uncle, but I didn't ask him for help..."
Hai Pinglan was stunned for a while by the title of "Uncle". He suddenly laughed out loud: "I am not on good terms with Xia Longyuan. You don't have to use this title to stop me. I will never do anything bad to you. Why are you panicking?"
Xia Chichi curled her lips.
She came here not to go on a diplomatic mission to Penglai, but to find a place.
In the first few days, Xia Chichi did not want to contact the Penglai officials directly. After the last voyage, her general Jiao Mujiao, who was actually the elder from the Renbang You whom Zhao Changhe had met several times, temporarily settled here and developed a base. This time, she asked Jiao Mujiao to explore her destination and find out which sea areas were similar to the images shown by Xia Longyuan.
Unfortunately, this was obviously not something that Jiao Mujiao, who had just arrived, could do. He almost cried when he heard this request. He gritted his teeth and searched for a while, and then told Xia Chichi directly that he could not find anyone.
Xia Chichi hesitated again and again, but finally went to see Hai Pinglan. After all, they were allies, and it would be easier to visit openly than to do it secretly.
However, before the meeting, Xia Chichi would never have thought that the core of their conversation would be the Xuanwu Reverend, and that the other party had also confirmed her identity as Xia Longyuan's daughter, and their relationship became very strange. The topics they talked about were also very deep, so deep that they were not topics that the envoys who met for the first time should talk about.
Moreover, she never mentioned "asking allies to help find a place" but the other party took the initiative to bring it up.
I thought I was isolated from the sea, but it turns out I was the one who was isolated. Others knew so much, but I only had a rough idea of their affairs.
"If I'm not mistaken, there are only a few places you are looking for..." Hai Pinglan smiled and said, "Would you like to go and see the legendary end of the sea and sky, where the sun rises?"
Xia Chichi blurted out: "Yes!"
Hai Pinglan smiled and said, "Come on then. The journey will take a long time."
Xia Chichi was stunned: "Uncle means... you are going too?"
"Of course I have to go. Xia Longyuan used you to lure the Sea Emperor, and I am just driving him to devour the wolf. If I don't go now, when will I go!" Hai Pinglan strode out, and from the back, he seemed to be a middle-aged man.
