Chapter 385: The way the game is swept away
Glover gasped and stood in front of Fang Xing. The body was wet, judging from the sunny weather, this was not wet by the rain, it seemed that he swam in the sea according to Fang Xing's "instructions". But more than embarrassment, there is more anxiety and hesitation.
Fang Xing also saw his mood swings, and without waiting for him to say it, he asked first, "Is there something wrong?" β
"Uhhhh Seeing Fang Xing's question, Glover didn't choose to hide it, "The Celestial Dragons said that they wanted to find an effort to escape, and asked the navy for assistance. β
"Assistance?" Fang Xing muttered softly, and then asked, "Does the Navy have to help with this?"
"Uhhh It doesn't have to be put either. Glover said as much as possible to maintain the face of the navy: "Although according to the regulations, the Draconians do have the power to command the navy, but most of the time, the navy is just a faΓ§ade. ... No one wants to actually help the Draconians, which seems stupid. β
"It's stupid indeed." Fang Xing agreed, "Often, it's not just the Tianlong people who bear the infamy, but even the navy that obeys their orders. Just like this operation, no matter how you look at it, it is a righteous action of the navy to encircle and suppress illegal forces, but you can often hear nearby residents thinking in pieces, 'What the hell is the navy doing?' "Most of them are used as mud legs for the Draconians again." Such words. β
"That's right."
Glover nodded with feeling, he wasn't particularly kind before he was here, but at least he was loved by the vast majority of the residents. However, after coming here, he also took it as his duty to protect peace and justice, but it was difficult to find one of the ten inhabitants who respected him. This is an abnormal situation, and under normal circumstances, in a prosperous place like Chambord Islands, the inhabitants should live happier lives, and their prejudices about the navy are not so deep.
But in reality, the opposite is true, and instead of reverence, the inhabitants are wrapped in resentment towards the navy. Later, he learned the reason, in fact, this group of residents regarded them as the mud legs of the Draconians, and every day when the Dragonmen appeared on the streets, they were protected by the accompanying navy, saying that they had nothing to do with the navy, which could not be explained at all. And the residents also transferred their resentment against the Draco people to the navy, which is also the reason for the bad reputation of the navy in the Chambord Islands. Even now that the navy is clearing out illegal forces, the rest of the inhabitants will be blindfolded when they look at it, and they think, who knows what the hell the navy is up to.
"So, that's why you hesitated just now, you think I don't understand the doorway?"
"Not really!" Glover affirmed, his rare tough side in front of Fang Xing, "On the contrary, I think you'll be involved in this." β
"Participation?" Fang Xing understood what he meant, "Do you think I will interfere with, or even interfere with and stop this act of the Celestial Dragons... Do I look that decent? β
"Please give yourself a little affirmation!" Glover said again in a strong tone. "You're definitely a qualified navy, there's no doubt about that! Even if the marshal of the Warring States period, whom I admire the most, denies it, I will fight for you! For any navy, who can guarantee that he will be able to rectify the cancer that exists on this island when he first takes office? But you chose the toughest way, and that alone is enough for me to admire, because you are stronger than me! β
Glover, who had personally served as the base manager of the Chambord Islands Navy, knew exactly what the pressure was.
The power of Panhuan... The shackles of the rules... The desire to survive, who was once full of justice, chose to ignore it after coming here, ignoring the residents' pleas for help, ignoring the existence of this lawless zone, which is also a disregard for himself.
Glover didn't think he was a proper navy, and even in front of his men, he looked "like" yes, but he didn't think so.
And Fang Xing did what he didn't dare to do, if he still denied his "decency" now, wouldn't that be a denial of the actions he had been trying to overcome this pressure?
"Am I so amazing?" Fang Xing muttered softly, "... So what do you want me to do? Is it advice that I should not meddle in the affairs of the Draconians? β
"As a senior in the navy, this is an exhortation to you, don't get involved in the affairs of the Draconians."
Fang Xing didn't reply, he also understood the reason for Glover's admonition, the Celestial Dragon people were indeed the only existence in this world. To put it in a better way, the navy is like the military strength in the ancient feudal society, and the Draconians are the royal family. In the case of a soldier offending the royal family, it is clear that the soldier was almost sentenced to "death", and there is no bright future for him. Of course, there are exceptions, the era of the sea pirates, which means that these "generals" are being activated, in such a chaotic era, the status value of the general is significantly higher than that of ordinary Tianlongren, such as veterans such as the Warring States Marshal in the navy, if the attack on Tianlongren is made, then the world government will most likely calm down the people, and even take the initiative to cover it up.
However, it is clear that Glover does not think that Fang Xing has this young rear admiral and has the same status as other veteran navies, which is why he made this admonition.
Fang Xing pondered for a while before he said, "Is it symbolically pretentious?"
"Well, that's enough, anyway, no navy is willing to really do things for the Draconians."
"I have a better idea than this."
"What's the idea?" Glover asked curiously.
"Now that the lawless forces have not been completely expelled, since the Celestial Dragons have asked the navy to help them find the escaped criminals, then we can completely take the blame for him." Fang Xing's belly underworld.
Glover became intrigued by the term "back to the pot," and he went on to say, "How? β
While talking about helping the Tianlong people find people, he drove people out. Those people say that being driven out of here is a dead end, but what if it is the world nobles who drive them out? Do they just run outside, or do they keep going inside? The answer is obvious, with such a reason, I am afraid that they will withdraw faster than anyone else. When they go back, they can say to the forces behind them in this kind of tone, 'It was the Draconians who drove us away, and we really didn't dare to cause trouble for you, so we withdrew.' β... This made the navy happy to relax, but it was just a useless pot on the back of the Tianlong people who had troubled the navy in the past. Fang Xing said lightly, as if he was telling a matter of course.
Glover looked stunned, and he quietly listened to what Fang Xing said, and there was no interruption in the whole process. Truth be told, it's pretty dark... But it's cool! Let the Tianlong people who were protected in the past take the blame for themselves, well... Because it was the most comfortable thing he thought was here in the Chambord Islands, and the most important thing was that he could still do it for granted. They did follow the orders of the Draconians, and they did it with all their hearts, searching and arresting at the most likely location, no matter how you think about the navy, it is all meritorious.
"Yes! I replied immediately and organized someone to do it! Glover exclaimed.
β¦β¦
After a series of actions by the navy, Fang Xing used his free time to sneak back to the intimate tavern.
"Stinky boy! You're making me your servant, aren't you? Sanji said disgustedly, while spreading the food on Fang Xing's table, this was the fifth time he handed over the food, but Fang Xing didn't have the slightest intention of filling his stomach, and kept eating the food and then begging.
"Thank you, and give me another one." Reilly smiled and pushed the empty plate to Sanji.
Sanji took it angrily, "You are the same!" β
No matter what kind of reputation Reilly has, in his opinion, he is just an old man who eats white food, and more importantly, delays his time with Robin! He turned impatiently, ready to have free time to spend with Robin after preparing the perfect meal.
"I also think that Island 13 is not far from here, and you should go back to your Ms. Xia Qi." Fang Xing said.
"But I think it's better here, she has wine there, but she doesn't have the delicious food here." Reilly replied.
Fang Xing swallowed the pieces of meat on the plate in a few bites, chewed and said, "But here you are... Obviously severely affected my eating speed. With that, he tapped the empty plate with his fork.
"Can't say that! Anyway, I've done a lot of things for you, kid. For example, supervising Ace, knocking him out of his work after he wakes up and eats his food. Reilly couldn't help but say, "Just, don't you think it's a bit too ruthless?" I can't stand it anymore. β
"You're the one who did it." Fang Xing responded.
"But you came up with the idea!"
"What I came up with was an idea, at most it was an attempt to act, and you came out with an action, obviously you are more hateful."
Reilly choked up and changed the subject: "It turns out that what you said about borrowing is to become a navy, it seems that you still have a connection with the navy, but I don't understand what is the use of this force you are doing now to expel the lawless zone." β
"You don't understand." Fang Xing pretended to be deep, "This is the same as the choice in the galgame game, because the options chosen are different, and the plot trend obtained is completely different, at this time, if you want to see the end of everything, all you have to do is sweep, and what I'm doing now is sweeping." β
Reilly didn't understand what Fang Xing's mouth was at all, and he asked, "What does that mean?" β
"That's what I want." Fang Xing took out a stack of paper documents from the backpack beside him. "Here's the information on all the forces in the lawless zone, unnatural deaths."
Reilly looked through it casually, and most of the records were the cause of death, posture, and what kind of weapon he was killed, which obviously seemed to be something that was only needed to investigate the murderer.
"What's the use of that?" He asked.
"Because of the conflict caused by Ace, countless forces have lurked on this island. And their best hiding place is in the lawless zone, which is different from the civilian area, whether it is a sudden increase in members, or a sudden disappearance or death, it is a rare and common thing. And this information is these unnatural deaths. By comparing it with the previous ones and excluding some special cases, you can roughly see how many groups of people have infiltrated it. Character, weapons, and even characteristics. That's what I want. Fang Xing said coldly.
"It seems like you always surprise me. You can use this kind of thing to get this information. So... Need my help? Reilly chuckled.
"Do you want to kill them? While this is hassle-free, it's clear that you're not the best option. β
"Looks like you have a better choice." Reilly raised his glass and took a sip on his face, then asked, "By the way, what about the 'big-mouthed monster' that your companion spoke of?" I often hear your chefs complain. β
"Huh? You mean Valpo, I asked him to do something, just before I 'borrowed'. Fang Xing replied.
"Presumably something that can't be revealed to be related to the navy." Reilly said.
Before Fang Xing said "borrowing", in other words, before exposing the connection with the navy.
He didn't know how much this clever little ghost had to hide everywhere because he cooperated with several parties, but it was obvious that it wasn't his business, all he had to do was to protect his son for his old friend. Of course, he didn't plan to get involved in this island, after all, when the fleet was disbanded, the connection between them would also be dissolved.
"Well, there is something that must be confirmed, but the answer is somewhat unexpected," Fang Xing said with a little sorrow.
"You kid, did you expect anything?" Reilly smacked his mouth.
After Fang Xing showed that he had full control over everything, he gradually got used to this almost omnipotent kid, and it was hard to imagine what he hadn't expected.
"I'm not omnipotent, in fact, I didn't expect you to save Ace." Fang Xing rhythmically tapped the empty plate, "Originally, I was going to fool you." β
"Uh," Reilly was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It looks like I was already in it before you fooled me." β
"It makes me feel a lot more relaxed, you don't look like a foolish person. Occasionally, I wonder when I'll be able to stop, sit and have a cup of tea, and live a peaceful life where my brain rests. It's just that you don't go for trouble, but trouble will always follow. Fang Xing sighed and said.
Reilly didn't care too much about Fang Xing's attitude, because the next moment Fang Xing sighed, Sanji brought a food plate. Reilly took it, it was meant to be his plate. But Fang Xing didn't know when, his hand was already on the corner of the plate, and he was tugging with Reilly.
"This one is mine, shouldn't you respect the old and love the young?" Reilly said.
Fang Xing still grabbed a corner and replied unceremoniously: "I'm sorry, I don't have this word in my dictionary." β
Reilly looked compromised, "In that case, I have toβ" He stood up, and instantly stuck out his tongue and took three consecutive "bah blah" on the food plate.
The corners of Fang Xing's mouth twitched, and he let go of the plate in an instant, but Reilly didn't feel flustered by Fang Xing's sudden release, he easily stabilized the plate, and then put it in front of him.
As if in return, he said, "I'm a pirate, and the word hygiene doesn't have anything to do with me." β
Fang Xing looked away and looked at Sanji, "That's the way it is... Please prepare another copy for me. β
