Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Lord of Juao Island
Old man Ma laughed, and walked away as if he was extremely happy, leaving Zhao Lan with residual anger between his eyebrows and eyes, as well as the scarred man who had just arrived at the scene.
Xiao Lori, who has been standing on the sidelines watching the battle and cheering, has completely closed her mouth since the scar-faced man walked out of the bamboo forest, and when she saw the old man Ma leaving, she also sneaked and tiptoed towards the bamboo forest.
But before she could retreat into the bamboo forest, the scar-faced fat man, who had been watching the old man leave, suddenly let out a low shout.
"Light water, come here."
Little Lori's footsteps suddenly froze in mid-air as if petrified, and she turned to look at the scar-faced fat man who had been staring ahead, and she said with a pitiful expression: "Daddy, my daughter is just passing by, and she doesn't know anything." ”
"Humph!"
Scarface handed the iron bow in his hand to the subordinates beside him, walked in front of Xiao Lori with his hand, and reprimanded with anger on his face: "You don't familiarize yourself with the female commandments, don't go to the skilled female red, and chase chickens and dogs on the island all day long, causing chaos everywhere, what kind of system." ”
Zhao Lan listened to Scarface's words, and couldn't help frowning, what does this guy mean? Secretly scolding yourself for being a chicken dog?
"Don't go back to the house yet."
Scarface scolded angrily, scared the little Lori and fled, then turned to look at Zhao Lan, who had been standing behind him with an arrow, and suddenly had a warm smile on his face, walked in front of Zhao Lan, looked Zhao Lan up and down, and said with a smile: "The little girl and the elders on the island don't know the dignity of the county king, and they offended the county king, and I hope the county king will not be blamed." ”
After speaking, he looked at the wound on Zhao Lan's shoulder, Scarface took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "Ah, the county king is injured, and there is a bottle of gold sore medicine poured here below, how about applying it to the county king." ”
Zhao Lan smiled when he heard this, took the small porcelain bottle, unscrewed it and poured it on the wound, then looked at the subordinates on his side who were nervously staring at the arrows in his hand, waved them into the distance, and saluted back to the smiling scarface in front of him and said, "It's okay, I don't attach much importance to these false courtesies, but I thank the island owner." ”
When Scarface heard Zhao Lan's words, he immediately smiled even more happily, looked at the shabby white underwear on Zhao Lan's body, and suddenly had a dissatisfied look on his face, and reprimanded his subordinates who were staring at Zhao Lan tightly: "I asked you to invite the county king to come and reminisce about the old days, you see how you invited it, why don't you quickly change a new set of clothes for the county king, what to see." ”
The subordinates around him were scolded by him and went to look for new clothes, and Scarface led forward with a false hand, and smiled at Zhao Lan: "King of the county, please go ahead." ”
Zhao Lan smiled slightly and walked forward.
"The contemptible Wu Tiansheng, who is loved by his brothers, has become the big boss of this Juao Island, and it is really helpless to invite the king of the county here today, and I hope that the king of the county will not be blamed."
The two walked all the way forward until they reached a gazebo, and Scarface, who was walking beside Zhao Lan, suddenly introduced himself to him.
Zhao Lan smiled softly, looked at the owner of Juao Island who sent dozens of people in front of him to arrest him, took two steps forward with his arms crossed, and looked at the bamboo forest around him and the pavilion not far away as he walked, and then looked at Wu Tiansheng and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the island owner, we don't have to be so hypocritical, we might as well open the skylight and say something, you sent someone to arrest me here, what is your intention, I don't believe that you just invited me to come, with good wine and food and these beautiful scenery to greet me?" ”
Wu Tiansheng seemed to be shocked by Zhao Lan's straightforward words, but then he came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Lan in front of him, and laughed: "The king of the county is really fast-talking, to be honest, although the contemptible people are far away on the island of the cape, they have also heard rumors about the talent of the county king, and they have heard that the county king is wise and virtuous, has the ability of the prince, and the image of the king of a country." When I saw it today, I knew that it was better to be famous than to meet. ”
As he spoke, Wu Tiansheng took Zhao Lan's hand and guided him to the direction of the pavilion with a spire not far away.
The two walked all the way to the pavilion along the gravel paved path, and Zhao Lan looked up at the pavilion a few times.
The vermilion red paint on the four pillars in the pavilion seemed to have been painted recently, forming a few droplet-like paint marks on the pillars, Zhao Lan gently stretched out his hand and touched those paint marks with his fingernails, just pressing a light press to make a mark.
"These pillars have just been painted, so don't stain your hands."
Just as Zhao Lan was playing with his heart and wanted to deduct a piece of red paint, a woman suddenly walked in from the other side of the pavilion, whispered softly to Zhao Lan, and then bowed to him and placed the desk in his hand in the center of the pavilion.
Zhao Lan turned her head to look at the woman and found that it was the woman who had just brought him food at breakfast in the prison.
Isn't she the daughter of the owner?
"The king of the county, this is the eldest daughter of the contemptible people, and the contemptible people were busy before, so they had to send the little girl to deliver meals to the king of the county, and she also met with the king of the county."
Wu Tiansheng introduced his daughter on the side, then knelt on the ground, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Lan pointing to the seat in front of him.
For the world that has not yet invented chairs, Zhao Lan is also very speechless for those inventors.
Is it so hard to nail four legs to a simple plank? It hasn't been invented for thousands of years.
Sitting cross-legged on the seat, looking at the few dishes on the table in front of him, and then looking at the glass of wine that the owner's eldest daughter poured herself on the side, the corners of Zhao Lan's mouth couldn't help but curl up with a subtle smile.
"The county king, please."
Wu Tiansheng picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, glanced at the bamboo shadows around the pavilion, and then said to Zhao Lan: "I don't know what the king of the county thinks I have here." ”
Zhao Lan picked up the wine glass, looked at the turbid wine in the glass, took a sip, put down the wine glass and sighed softly: "The mountain is not high, there are immortals, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and there are dragons." ”
Looking at the puzzled expression on Wu Tiansheng's face in front of him, Zhao Lan smiled slightly and explained: "It's just that the scenery is beautiful, it's very good." ”
But he was secretly sighing in his heart, there is no famous story like "The Burrow" in this world, and it is really a waste! In the future, if you have time, you can also plagiarize, and in the face of this kind of robber and rough person, it will tarnish the famous article.
Wu Tiansheng then understood, laughed and drank a glass of wine again, and continued to Zhao Lan: "Then I don't know what the king of the county thinks of the foundation of my Juao Island. ”
When Zhao Lan heard his question, she was a little surprised, looked at the expression on Wu Tiansheng's face, and suddenly felt a little unsure of what he meant.
"I don't know what the island owner means, please make it clear."
Zhao Lan was a little irritable, the two of them were so fake to beg, put down the wine glass, and looked at Wu Tiansheng in front of him: "I told the island owner before, if you have anything to say, it's better to let it go, I'm not a pedantic person, as long as it's not too excessive, I can still agree." ”
"Good!"
As soon as Zhao Lan's words were finished, Wu Tiansheng on the opposite side suddenly slapped the case, shouted hello, and watched Zhao Lan spit out a sentence that almost stunned him in a low voice: "I don't know if the county king is interested in the throne." ”
The corners of Zhao Lan's eyes twitched as he looked at Wu Tiansheng, who had a slightly gnashing expression in front of him, and his brain almost didn't turn for a while.
"Isn't the owner of the island joking with this king?"
Zhao Lan came back to his senses for a long time, picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, smiled lightly, and continued: "The Ninth Five-Year Honor has always been appointed by the official family. A battle, and even countless Manchus were shattered, could it be that the island owner also wanted to come forward to join in the fun? ”
