Under the orders of the leader, the remaining sixteen pirates immediately headed for the wooden ship with eighteen cloth bags and diving equipment.

Qiao Yun looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Is this the scope of Huaxia?"

"It's not a Chinese area, but fifteen nautical miles north will be within the South China Sea, and you'll soon be able to reach the archipelago. The middle-aged man replied truthfully.

It turned out that he and Qing Ling had really drifted to the vicinity of the South China Sea, Qiao Yun already knew it in his heart, and then asked, "What day is the month today?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, a little strange why Qiao Yun asked him the date, but he still replied: "March 18." ”

March 18...... Unexpectedly, it took nearly four months for the two of them to drift here from Ruihai, and it was still winter when they left the family summit, but now it is spring there, Qiao Yun sighed slightly in his heart. As Qiao Yun and Qing Ling drifted all the way south, the temperature gradually increased, so the change of seasons was not obvious, so Qiao Yun only had a general idea of the time, but he didn't know the specifics.

It's time to go back!Qiao Yun looked at the coastline in the distance, in Yanjing, Yifan, Jingwan, Zixuan, and Yuyun were still waiting for him, as well as Mingjin......

Qiao Yun suddenly felt a pain in his heart, retracted his gaze, and said to the leader: "Those eighteen bags of gold, silver and jewelry are for you to recruit troops and horses, and then help me collect the islands that are not occupied in the world's seas, but if you find an island that is suitable for habitation and a decent area, you will send people to occupy it." ”

After a pause, Qiao Yun continued: "If you really can't find it, it's not impossible to buy islands from some small countries, as long as the islands are suitable. The price is negotiable, you can negotiate with the other party and let me know. If you don't have enough money, ask me for it. ”

After the middle-aged man translated. The leader nodded suddenly, and said a few words, Qiao Yun looked like he was showing his loyalty, and after listening to the middle-aged man's translation, the consequences were almost the same. After nodding, Qiao Yun asked, "What's the name of the two of you?"

This time, the middle-aged man did not translate, but replied directly: "Yu Shaoxia, his subordinate is called Chang Liang, and the leader is named Ruan Wenchang." ”

The leader listened to the two names in the middle-aged man's mouth, seemed to understand Qiao Yun's question, and immediately said two words to the middle-aged man. Then the middle-aged man said to Qiao Yun: "Young man, the leader, please ask the name of the young man." ”

"Yunchuan. Qiao Yun said calmly, Qiao Yun still didn't leave his real name after thinking about it, after experiencing the previous things, Qiao Yun acted more cautiously, even if the other party did not pose a threat to him, but Qiao Yun still had a cautious attitude towards everything.

Qiao Yun left a series of phone numbers for the middle-aged man and the leader, asking the two to contact him with this number for anything, and then ordered the two to go to the ship to prepare and leave early tomorrow morning.

After the two pirates were ordered to leave. Qiao Yun walked slowly to the wooden house, and after entering the wooden house, Qiao Yun saw the sleeping Qing Ling facing the door, and a smile appeared on his face. Qingling's slender eyelashes trembled slightly with even breathing. Even in his sleep, it was incredibly beautiful, making Qiao Yun's gaze stay on Qing Ling's pretty face for a long time.

After a long time, Qiao Yun slowly withdrew his gaze. Take a seat on a wooden chair next to you. The right hand reached for his waist and glanced at the sachet hanging from his waist. Then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly. entered the state of cultivation and silently guarded Qing Ling's side.

Early the next morning, when Qing Ling woke up from his sleep and slowly opened his eyes, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Qiao Yun sitting on a wooden chair next to him meditating with his eyes closed. At the same time, Qiao Yun also opened his eyes, looked at Qing Ling, and smiled: "You woke up, how are you resting?"

"It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly. Qing Ling sat up, stretched lightly and said.

Qiao Yun stood up and said with a smile: "It's good to rest, then you clean up, let's get ready to go." ”

Qing Ling nodded lightly and said, "Let's go, I don't have anything to pack." ”

The two walked out of the wooden house, standing outside the wooden house, Qingling couldn't help but look back at the wooden house, her eyes showed a look of reluctance, although she only lived in this wooden house for one night, but she had no feelings for this wooden house Qingling.

But the two of them were going to leave eventually, but this wooden house could not be taken away, and Qing Ling could only deeply remember it and keep it in his memory.

After taking a deep look at the wooden house again, Qing Ling turned to Qiao Yun and smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go." ”

Qiao Yun saw all this, but he didn't make a sound, nodded silently, took a step, and walked towards the beach side by side with Qing Ling.

Ruan Wenchang had already led seventeen pirates to wait on the shore, and when they saw Qiao Yun and Qing Ling coming, they all stepped forward to salute.

Qiao Yun waved his hand to everyone, and then jumped onto the wooden boat with Qing Ling, and Ruan Wenchang took the rest of the pirates to board the floating ladder and then boarded the wooden boat. With a sound of a horn, the wooden ship slowly started and sailed away from the island of the King of Thieves, heading for the northern seas.

Ruan Wenchang's own room in the wooden boat had already been cleaned up and vacated to Qiao Yun and Qing Ling, Qiao Yun and Qing Ling sat in the room, looking out the window at the gradually distant Thief King Island, they were speechless, silently watching this island full of greenery.

Fifteen nautical miles was not a long distance, and soon the wooden boat came to the edge of the South China Sea, and near the edge, the wooden boat stopped and stopped moving. At the same time, Ruan Wenchang also knocked on Qiao Yun and Qing Ling's door, and Chang Liang followed him.

"Shaoxia, ahead is the waters of the South China Sea. Chang Liang translated.

Qiao Yun nodded, stood up, and said to Qing Ling, "Ling'er, let's go." ”

Qing Ling immediately stood up, nodded, and followed Qiao Yun to the deck.

Two pirates had already lowered the speedboat when Qiao Yun and Qingling came down from the wooden boat with a cable, Qiao Yun glanced at the speedboat, turned back to Ruan Wenchang and said, "You guys go back, contact me at any time if you have news." ”

After Chang Liang conveyed it, Ruan Wenchang nodded again and again, patted his chest and chattered.

Qiao Yun didn't wait for him to finish, he grabbed Qing Ling's little hand and jumped down. The figures of the two were like a pair of swallows in the air, light and ethereal, and slowly landed on the speedboat under the wooden boat, and the eighteen pirates were all brightly lit up.

After cutting the cable, Qiao Yun and Qing Ling drove away in the speedboat, and watched Qiao Yun and Qing Ling go away, Ruan Wenchang then ordered to turn around, and the wooden boat immediately headed south.

Besides, Qiao Yun and Qing Ling, the speedboat was loaded and refueled by the pirates last night, so at this moment Qiao Yun no longer needed to go into the water to push the boat, and the two of them rode the wind and waves and kept sailing towards the north.

Not long after, an island appeared in Qiao Yun and Qing Ling's divine consciousness, this island was dozens of times larger than the Thief King Island, but it was not green, but many houses were towering, and it was an inhabited island.

Qiao Yun drove the speedboat straight to the island, if someone watched in the sky at this time, they would definitely see a white wave line approaching the island at a rapid speed when the sea and sky were in the sky.

This island is one of the southernmost islands in the South China Sea, and there are not many long-term residents on it, but there are many tourists who come to visit it every day.

A few fishermen had just come back from going out to sea to fish, and they were comparing the results with each other in talking and laughing, but they were stunned when they saw a white line galloping from a distance. Just stunned, the white line got closer and closer, and several people immediately saw that it was actually a speedboat, and the roar on the speedboat was also heard from afar.

Several fishermen looked at each other, and they all saw a look of astonishment in each other's eyes, and they couldn't understand how a speedboat could come from such a distance. Although there are also speedboat rides on the island, they are all in designated areas, and there is no reason to travel from such a distance.

Before the fishermen could react, the speedboat had already driven closer, and the fishermen saw a young man driving the speedboat, and there was a girl in black beside him, but the girl's face was veiled, and they could only judge her gender from her long hair.

Without waiting for the speedboat to stop, Qiao Yun and Qing Ling jumped ashore one after another, startling several fishermen. Qiao Yun hugged his fist at one of the elderly fishermen and asked, "This uncle, how many flights take off from the island every day?"

The fisherman was stunned for a moment, but replied, "At least two shifts a day, and sometimes three or four shifts." ”

"Thank you. Qiao Yun nodded to the fisherman, and then walked away with Qing Ling.

"Hey, young man, your boat ......" The fisherman saw Qiao Yun and Qing Ling turn around and leave, and didn't even pull out the key on the speedboat, and immediately shouted behind the two.

"I've sent you......" Qiao Yun waved his hand behind him, and left without looking back, leaving only a few fishermen standing there looking at each other.

Qiao Yun and Qing Ling soon came to the prosperous area of the island, took out the bank card from the ring, Qiao Yun bought clothes for himself and Qing Ling on the island, and then called Xi Fat Man and asked him to book air tickets for himself and Qing Ling.

When Fat Xi received a call from Qiao Yun, it can be said that he was so excited, there was no news of Qiao Yun in the past four months, and he thought that something had happened to Qiao Yun, and he was about to die of worry. However, Qiao Yun stopped Xi Fatzi's tirade, asked him to go back and talk to himself if he had anything to say, and sent a text message to himself after getting the ticket, and then Qiao Yun hung up the phone.

It's not that Qiao Yun doesn't want to listen to Xi Fatzi's ramblings, it's just that he is about to be separated from Qingling, Qiao Yun wants to leave more time for himself and Qingling, even if it's just to accompany Qingling around the island casually.

The two took a shower in the hotel, and then changed the clothes on their bodies, both of them felt refreshed, and the fatigue of more than four months of wandering seemed to dissipate.

"Shall we go get something to eat?" Qiao Yun suggested.

"Okay!" Qing Ling smiled and walked out of the hotel side by side with Qiao Yun. (To be continued.) )
