The men were drinking, but Sanniang was in a bad mood and kept sitting on the side, distracted.
Hai Changkong had a lot of things to do, and although he felt that Zhao Changhe was quite to his liking, he also didn't want to say too much.
It's confusing to say, but actually he came to the Tang family ship just to find out what Zhao Changhe and Sanniang were doing on the sea. Especially since they brought a powerful fleet with them, which made people uneasy - a group of people were fighting fiercely, but now even the goals of both sides have just begun to become clear to each other.
Upon learning that Zhao Changhe was really just looking for an island, Hai Changkong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hai Qianfan must have run into a ghost. What's going on here has nothing to do with you, but you barged in and messed up everything."
"Who said it has nothing to do with me? Turtle... Sanniang's business is my business."
Hai Changkong glanced at Sanniang, who was still distracted and didn't seem to hear what Zhao Changhe was saying. He smacked his lips and shook his head, "What island are you looking for? Tell me."
Zhao Changhe gave a rough description, and Tang En beside him was very interested: "If you can see the heart fire of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars rising before your eyes... In fact, that is the boundary between the sea and the sky."
Zhao Changhe said, "Theoretically, right? Can we go all the way east to the end of the world?"
Hai Changkong shook his head: "It's not that easy to sail on the sea. If you blindly go straight, you will inevitably be caught in unknown ocean currents. Add to that the problem of supplies and so on... Throughout history, many people have wanted to find the end of the world, but who has ever succeeded?"
"Well… "
"The place Mr. Zhao mentioned does exist, but it is not the real boundary between the sea and the sky. It is actually an island in the middle of the sea. The sun, moon and stars that you see are as if they are right in front of you. It is generally believed to be a mirage phenomenon, reflecting the illusion of the real boundary between the sea and the sky in the distance. Of course, there are also believers of the sea god who think that it is a miracle." Hai Changkong smiled: "In fact, the sea god may really be nearby. The mirage may be the manifestation of the sea god's power distorting vision."
Zhao Changhe was in high spirits: "Where is this island?"
Hai Changkong stood up and said, "There are many people who know about this island, including many in the pirate group... You can just find two experienced people to be your guides."
Tang En: "... Hua Zhenming, that bastard, told me he didn't know."
"Hua Zhenming probably took a fancy to your ship and tried to keep you here to slowly attack you after the real work is done... but now they don't have the opportunity to do it." Hai Changkong cupped his hands: "Have the etiquette in my hometown changed?"
Zhao Changhe bowed in return: "Nothing has changed."
"Then take your leave." Hai Changkong left: "When I have time in the future, I will drink and discuss swords with Master Zhao again."
Tang En looked at his receding back and praised, "This Marshal Hai is quite a character."
Zhao Changhe nodded. In fact, it should be said that Lian Hai Qianfan is also a character... After all, not everyone can roam the sea for so many years. It is difficult to become a pirate leader that all countries have a headache about. It's a pity that his mind became a demon, and he died before he even had a few lines.
It seems that most of these people with the surname Hai were adopted by Hai Pinglan in his early years. Hai Pinglan personally taught them martial arts, which also shows Hai Pinglan's style. Apart from other things, the fact that he trained two people at the level of the Earth Ranking completely surpassed the ability of all the people in the Heaven Ranking in the Central Plains to teach apprentices.
Of course, this is also related to the atmosphere of long-term battles at sea. The Central Plains has just entered a chaotic era, unlike the countries at sea who have been fighting each other. In addition, there are actually a lot of special resources at sea, which are also very nourishing. Unfortunately, no one has enjoyed them so far.
For example, the pirates' collections were obviously confiscated by Hai Changkong, and the entire pirate group was recruited. It is unknown how many people escaped and became pirates, and it is unlikely that they will become a force to be reckoned with. Zhao Changhe wanted to get some resources, but he didn't have a single copper coin. He did get some medicinal herbs and fresh water, and asked for a group of experienced people to serve as guides.
The unexpected harvest was a few cannons, which were actually more like stone cannons.
There were some in the pirate base's warehouse, but they were bulky and inconvenient, so Hai Changkong didn't take them all away because they were too heavy. This time, Zhao Changhe carried them onto the boat, and several men squatted beside the cannon to study them.
"This thing, from what I've seen, is just so-so. It has a poor range, low power, poor accuracy, and the barrel is easily damaged, and the interval is long. Why is Your Highness so interested in it?"
"Old Tang, forget about the other stuff, just the interval is so long. The interval between your crossbow shots is even longer."
"But our shots are far and powerful."
"Was it this strong at the beginning?"
Tang En was stunned, thinking about something.
Zhao Changhe finally stood up and walked into the cabin: "Anyway, this thing is not something you can study. Everyone has their own expertise. Let's sail first to the Mirage Island where we can see the junction of the sea and the sky. There is no need to go to Penglai."
"yes."
"Tell Wanzhuang and Buqi later to find professional craftsmen and spend more time on this. Believe me, the bed crossbow will be eliminated by it." Zhao Changhe walked and suddenly stopped for a moment, as if he had a deep meaning: "If things go wrong, half of the warriors will be eliminated."
In this kind of world, Zhao Changhe only dares to say that half of them will be eliminated.
The perverts like Yujing have reached the level of cultivating the soul, which is no longer human. If they go up to the level of blind people who randomly capture people across time and space, at least modern technology cannot do it. "Blind."
"what?"
"Huh? I just called you to keep in touch, but I didn't expect you to actually reply."
Blind man: “…”
"Since you're back, how about telling me how the atomic bomb compares to you?"
"Boring." The blind man said calmly, "Why don't you tell me what you were thinking when you intentionally or unintentionally led Hai Changkong to talk about the issue of faith?"
Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "Hai Changkong said it himself, what does it have to do with me?"
“Heh…” the blind man said leisurely, “Don’t just pry into some things… You used to be quite cautious, but I think you’re a little too proud now.”
Zhao Changhe did not refute. It was hard to say whether he was arrogant or not, but he was a little anxious. He really admired the blind man for being able to watch her silently from Xia Longyuan to now, silently waiting for the opportunity she wanted for decades.
Maybe this is the confidence of the immortal species. Unlike Hai Changkong, who is obviously a hero, but has no more confidence when he is nearly fifty years old. It seems that he has even given up the idea of going back to the land. After all, people are people.
Zhao Changhe didn't mention this and asked instead: "Do you have anything to say about the Sea King incident this time?"
"No." The blind man said calmly, "You are not the only one in the world. There are many things worth seeing."
"For example, the game between Hai Pinglan and the Sea King?" Zhao Changhe took the opportunity to say, "Is the Sea King a little slow? It seems that apart from throwing a few constructs out to do things, it has no other reaction. We killed a lot of scumbags before, but I didn't see any new moves from Him."
The blind man said, "Then just watch. While others haven't regarded you as a worthy opponent yet, you can still float for a few days."
"Even if you seem to be unintentionally creating a sense of urgency for me, I'm still going to pick up the turtle. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Blind man: “…”
"Why did you invite Lai Qi to disturb us? Are you anxious?"
“…None of my business.”
After saying these four words, the blind man fell completely silent, but his heart skipped a beat. He finally understood the feelings of the people whose cases were solved by Zhao Changhe in the past two years.
Obviously he had no evidence at all for many things, but his intuition was incredibly sharp.
Zhao Changhe had already pushed the door open and entered the house. When they went to move the cannon, Sanniang had already returned to the house and was leaning against the window, weighing two crystal cores and pondering them.
But looking at his trance-like look, it is unclear whether he is looking at the crystal core or his mind is wandering in space.
Zhao Changhe sat next to him and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Sanniang came back to her senses and smiled brightly: "It's nothing... I was thinking that my triple secret treasure is not as good as Hai Changkong."
"Then what about?"
"I once said that I wanted the Night Emperor to come to the world and let Xia Longyuan, Hai Pinglan and the others know that the so-called imperial ambitions are ultimately empty talk." Sanniang leaned back in her chair and tossed the two crystal cores one after another: "I was wondering why I never thought of letting them know this myself."
Zhao Changhe asked: "So this is your plan now?"
"No." Sanniang stretched lazily: "When I think of this, I feel so annoyed. I might as well go to sleep."
Feeling Zhao Changhe's twitching expression, the blind man almost laughed out loud.
Is it desperate to let you guide me
But Zhao Changhe hugged him and said, "As expected, he is my master. This attitude is the cutest..."
The blind man walked away angrily.
