"Don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet. ”

Looking at Ouyang Hongyan, who was dissatisfied, Zhao Yun smiled and said: "In addition to the above, the prince also needs to introduce me to the Zheng State as the owner of Blackwater Island, so that others can know the current strength of the prince." ”

"Blackwater Island Owner?!"

Ouyang Hongyan said with a look of surprise on his face: "Is Lord Shen Duo too anxious? You want to be the island master now, this king can't help you!"

Zhao Yun said lightly: "10,000 people, and only if I take Heishui Island, can I gather as soon as possible, as for how to take it, the prince doesn't have to worry, I will stay in Yundu for a while, waiting for the prince to introduce me to those princes and nobles." ”

In the end, Ouyang Hongyan agreed to Zhao Yun's request, he had no reason to refuse Zhao Yun, let alone compete with a monk with advanced cultivation, he thought that if this matter could not be done, he would go directly to Jin Ao, but it seems that there is no need for that at present, unless Zhao Yun fails to overthrow Jin Ao.

Following.

Ouyang Hongyan really held a banquet in the mansion according to Zhao Yun's request, and invited a group of princes and nobles to the banquet, and Zhao Yun also took the opportunity to write down these people one by one, the purpose was very simple, to find out what Ouyang Hongyan was planning, and to find out the current attitude of these people towards Ling'er.

The power dispute within Zheng Guo is not a matter of one or two years, although at present, Ling'er is the only heir to Zheng Guo who meets the requirements, but she has no prestige after all, and in the power struggle, if someone has a different heart, any inheritance rules will be pale and powerless, if someone secretly opposes Ling'er, or premeditates to overthrow the existing power pattern, he must find out these people in advance to ensure Ling'er's absolute control of the royal power.

When Ouyang Hongyan was about to introduce Zhao Yun halfway through the banquet, Zhao Yun stood up with a glass of wine and loudly told everyone that he was the owner of Heishui Island, and he was just here as a guest of King Chu, and he was willing to make more friends.

During this period, some people questioned it, saying that they had already seen the owner of the Golden Island of Blackwater Island, but they had never heard of when the owner of this Blackwater Island had changed.

Faced with doubts, Zhao Yun had no choice but to tell them that because of the internal struggle on Blackwater Island, Jin Ao was finally killed, and as a monk of the Golden Bone Great Perfection Realm, he was elected by everyone as the new island owner.

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked, although Zhao Yun did not say it directly, but everyone had already heard that Jin Ao's death must be related to him, after all, Jin Ao, as the leader of Zheng Guo's second largest cultivation force, has cultivated profoundly, and has been famous for a long time, in addition to the monks who are also in the Golden Bone Realm, there are also those who have direct interests, and whoever is the owner of the island in the end is who.

Although Blackwater Island is not as good as Tangmen, but since the fall of the Lihuo Sect ten years ago, Blackwater Island has become the second largest force in Zheng Guo with the help of plundered resources, and the disciples of Heishui Island are good at ship construction and water warfare, and now there is a war on the Hao River, and the new island owner has appeared in Kyoto again, and expressed his friendship with Zheng Guo's powers, which is very delicate for the current power situation of Zheng Guo.

After being shocked, Zhao Yun observed that many people at the banquet had heavy thoughts in their eyes, and then there were successive toasts and politeness, faintly showing their intention to win over Zhao Yun.

Sure enough, although Zheng Guosheji is already in danger, these people still do not forget to compete for power and interests, but there is an undercurrent surging under the brilliant lights, in addition to fighting for interests, intrigue with their own people, Zhao Yun is not sure if anyone has disagreed with other countries, if there is, this battle will be more difficult.

During the banquet, Zhao Yun found that these people were roughly divided into three factions, one faction was many princes and a small number of civil officials led by Ouyang Dan, the king of Zhen, Qi Huo, and others, who controlled many private soldiers, as well as ore mining, casting and other industries.

The other faction is a group of military generals led by Cardinal Wang Yuanhua, who are the controllers of Zheng Guo's Bird Fire Army.

The last faction is Ouyang Hongyan, the king of Chu, except for a Si Zhi named Wang Zhe around him, there is only a group of wealthy businessmen left, and maybe some small cultivation forces, but who doesn't have these?

So at present, the weakest strength is the young King of Chu beside him, and it is no wonder that he will not hesitate to take risks and win over Yanyuqiu alone.

However, what disappointed Zhao Yun the most was that there were only a few neutrals in it, and he didn't know if they supported Ling'er or if they were just grass on the wall under the unknown situation.

What worries Zhao Yun especially is that cardinal Wang Yuanhua, now Zheng Guo is like a soldier covered with wounds, and the Sparrow Fire Army is the weapon in the soldier's hand, and the hand holding the weapon is Wang Yuanhua, if Wang Yuanhua has the intention of rebellion, the soldier must lose his weapon and break his wrist.

When the banquet dispersed, Zhao Yun stopped Wang Yuanhua and said straight to the point: "Shen wants to go to your mansion to meet in a few days, I wonder if Lord Wang welcomes it?"

Wang Yuanhua straightened up, stroked his gray beard, and said with a smile: "Wherever the island lord Shen goes now, he is a distinguished guest, how can the old man not welcome it? Please also inform the time to prevent the island owner from neglecting." ”

Zhao Yun stretched his head over Wang Yuanhua's shoulder, and said in his mouth: "Shen likes to visit privately, and when he will go depends on the situation." ”

When Wang Yuanhua left with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ouyang Dan, the king of Zhen, who also had gray hair, came to Zhao Yun's side and arched his hand: "Lord Shen Island is not only extraordinary, but also has reached the Golden Bone Realm at a young age, and now he is in charge of Blackwater Island, which makes this king very admired!"

Zhao Yun said politely: "The prince praises falsely, Shen is just lucky." ”

"Luck is also ability. ”

Ouyang Dan's face was full of appreciation, and he sent out an invitation: "If you are not busy, this king wants to invite the island owner to the mansion to talk, I don't know if it is possible?"

Zhao Yun arched his hand and smiled: "Then thank you Lord Wang, but I have really been inconvenient recently, and I will definitely visit you in person when I have time." ”

After all the people who went to the banquet left, Ouyang Hongyan walked up to Zhao Yun and asked, "You just said that the Lord of the Golden Island is dead, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Zhao Yun stared at the crowd that dispersed outside the door, and said lightly: "The fact is that it is not yet, but it is almost there." ”

......

The eastern part of Zhengguo is an area with a lot of rainfall, and it is also the land of fish and rice with the most dense rivers.

At the confluence of dozens of large and small rivers, there is a huge lake, which occupies one-tenth of the land area of the entire Zheng Kingdom, and because the largest of the rivers is called the Heishui River, the name of the lake is also called Heishui Lake.

Although it is called Blackwater Lake, the water of the lake is not only clear and bright, but also has few fish and grass, and it is even more sweet and delicious to drink.

There is an island on Blackwater Lake, and the power of Blackwater Island, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is entrenched on it.

The wind washes the clouds, the water reflects the blue sky, and the rivers connect the Heishui Lake like a bright ribbon in the sun, and it is early summer at this time, and there are large green lotus leaves dotted on the water surface.

Where the Heishui River meets the Heishui Lake, a gust of wind blows through the lotus leaves, bringing ripples, and bends the bow of the boat, stroking towards the hosta hall green silk on the boat.

The woman was sitting on the boat in a gentle manner, enjoying the beautiful scenery around her, like a lazy cat.

But this is the site of Blackwater Island, no matter how good the scenery is, very few people can enjoy it leisurely, except for the people on the island, if outsiders are not invited here, it is extremely dangerous.

No one rowed, but the boat moved slowly, not knowing whether the wind was pushing or the water was flowing.

When the surrounding water surface was vast and wide, the boat had already entered the Heishui Lake from the Heishui River, and the lotus leaves around were becoming fewer and fewer, and it was not long before you could see the disciples of Heishui Island in the distance traveling in a boat.

As if seeing the approaching boat, the disciple of Blackwater Island stepped on a black boat and came quickly, and when he saw a woman wearing a veil when he got closer, the disciple couldn't help but circle around the boat in confusion.

"Who are you, have you been invited by Blackwater Island?" the disciple stopped the boat and looked at the woman with a cautious expression.

Seeing that the woman did not answer, and the boat was still moving forward slightly, the disciple couldn't help but step on the boat, and resisted the boat and said angrily: "Are you deaf or dumb! Answer my question quickly, otherwise you will be treated as a foreign enemy!"

When the woman slowly stood up, the disciple's eyes couldn't help but show a touch of amazement and swallowed his saliva.

"If I'm really a foreign enemy, what will you do?"

The sound is like a clear spring under the moon, clear and sweet, and the disciple licked his dry lips and said, "If it is a foreign enemy, I have no choice but to arrest the girl and hand it over to the island owner for disposal." ”

"And what if you stumble into here?"

"Then please come with me, and when you are done, you can leave." ”

Listening to the slight hunger and thirst trembling in the disciple's voice, the woman shook her head slightly, stretched out her finger and lightly clicked, a light breeze swept by, and the disciple had fallen softly.

Then the boat on the water disappeared along with the woman, and only a little star flew towards the island in the sunlight.

The disciple who stepped on the black boat was the Blackfish Guard who patrolled Blackwater Island, and there were about forty or fifty Blackfish Guards patrolling the entire waters of Blackwater Island every day.

The sun was still shining, the breeze was gentle, and not long after the woman disappeared, several black fish guards discovered the anomaly and surrounded the black fish guard who had fainted.

"What's the matter with him, isn't he suffering from heat stroke?"

"What are you kidding, he's obviously knocked unconscious. Another Blackfish Guardian.

"What are you looking at here, hurry up and send an invasion signal!"

......

Just as a group of blackfish guards were arguing about who would take the fainted blackfish guard away, no one noticed that the blue water around them had gradually turned red, as if a large pot of tomato soup with oil flowers had been poured into the water.

"This ...... What's going on with this water, I'm dazzled?" a blackfish guard stared at the surface of the water and rubbed his eyes.

The rest of the black fish guards also noticed this situation, and they all stared at the water with puzzled faces, and another black fish guard said, "Why does this look like tomato soup?"
