After Jiajing's consent, he immediately mobilized 200,000 yuan and scattered his people to Xingxing City and nearby cities and towns to purchase a large number of daily necessities, among which grain, salt and other living necessities were his key purchases.

Holding a drinking party, buying mansions, sea tribes, and purchasing materials used a lot of money, Jiajing now has little money on hand, but the wine party received a lot of precious gifts, Jiajing sold them to the wine merchants who came to do business, got a lot of cash, the purse finally bulged a little, plus the daily income of the winery, in addition to the remuneration paid to the workers, there is a surplus, and there is no need to worry about funds for a while.

Although the war began, it had little impact on Yihong's business.

Because of the prohibition of Athena merchants from entering, the price of exquisite Yihong high wine has soared again and again, and many merchants have continued to buy through checkpoints to transport the wine to Jingjue in order to make huge profits, which has made the number of Yihong fine wines sold increase more than usual.

Things are slowly getting on the right track, the weather is getting colder and colder, Jiajing has just ordered the people below to cut down trees and go up the mountain for winter heating, and the servant who is responsible for taking care of the Sea Clan has come to report that Hancock, who has been in a coma for more than ten days, has finally woken up!

Jiajing would inquire about the nobles of Star Picking City from time to time these days, and learned that the Invenia family had not taken any major action, and it was estimated that they did not know where the slave catchers had disappeared, so they did not come to Star Picking City to take a look.

The Mercenary Guild in Star Picking City, on the national mission magic crystal plate, has been on the task of finding the news of the Invenia family's slave catcher.

Vilia's hands and feet were still relatively clean, and the slave catchers did not leave a single living room.

It is estimated that they are more afraid of the revenge and revenge of the Indian family than Jiajing.

The Ingenia family is only more than a thousand miles away from Star Picking City, and if the news is revealed at the beginning, ten days of hard work will be enough for them to send a master to pick up stars.

Jiajing even suspected that they might not have known that their slave hunting team had actually captured four sea tribes.

After Jiajing sent away the servants, he came to the cave where the Hai tribe lived alone.

After more than ten days of cultivation, Bao and the two swordfish warriors Blackburn and Keli have recovered nine times out of ten, and the wounds on their bodies are almost completely healed. At this time, when he saw Jiajing coming, he immediately stood up and saluted Jiajing: "Lord Viscount, thank you for taking care of me these days!"

Jiajing hurriedly waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite." ”

The mermaid Han Cook looked at Jiajing's handsome face fixedly, and bent down slightly to salute: "Han Cook thanked Viscount Jiajing for saving his life." ”

Her voice was extremely moving, and it came into Jiajing's ears, and he heard it so that his heart was rippling, and his heart was relaxed, like a wind chime ringing with the wind, Jiajing had never heard someone speak so pleasantly!

But what surprised Jiajing even more was another thing, he looked at Hancock's lower body, no matter how impolite this was, he was still stunned for a long time before a question suddenly burst out of his mouth: "You, where is your fish tail?"

It turned out that Hancock's red and black fishtail had actually disappeared! At this time, what appeared in front of Jiajing's eyes was a pair of white and flawless human calves that could not be concealed by a light veil. If it weren't for the diamond-shaped scales on her forehead that showed her noble status as a sea clan, Jiajing would have thought that what was standing in front of her at this moment was an out-and-out human beauty.

Hancock's face flushed slightly, and in mermaid customs, fishtails are a very private topic, usually only mentioned by intimate partners.

However, Jiajing had a life-saving grace for her, she hesitated for a moment, but still answered Jiajing's question: "The humanoid sea clan all have legs and can walk on land, and our mermaid clan is no exception. However, we can freely change the shape of the tail and legs, which is more convenient for movement in the sea and on land. ”

"That's right. Although the Invenia family did not make any moves, Jiajing still wanted to send them back to the sea as soon as possible, just in case: "By the way, you are almost recovered, I don't know when you plan to leave and go back to the sea to the south?"

Hancock couldn't imagine that Jiajing would really let himself go back without making any demands as Bao En said, so he asked him a little surprised: "Viscount Jiajing, how much did you spend to buy us? According to my understanding of the land, our current status should be slaves, right?"

Jiajing smiled and touched the back of his head: "It's not much, it's just 100,000 gold, you were snatched from the slave catcher by a friend of mine, I just saw them, so I bought you, but don't worry, I don't have any malicious intent, I just don't want to see such a beautiful princess become someone else's doll." ”

Hancock's face turned slightly red, but a faint sadness appeared in an instant, and he said faintly: "Even if you are willing to let us go back to the sea, I'm afraid we won't have a place to stay." ”

Grace, Blackburn, and Kleeka immediately knelt down, covered their left chest with one hand, and swore an oath: "We swear in the name of the sea god that we will definitely protect the princess's safety, assist the princess to recover the empire, and eradicate the traitors, and we will not hesitate to pay the price of our lives!"

Han's eyes appeared faint tears, and he sighed: "You all get up, don't mention anything about recovering the country, I'm no longer a princess, you have lost a lot of comrades in arms to protect me from the pursuit, and now I am still caught by the slave team, fortunately I can get out of the clutches with the help of Viscount Jiajing, otherwise I don't want to be at ease for the rest of my life...... Cheng Zongsi said that as long as you support him, he will not pursue anything that happened in the past. ”

The tone of the three sea clans couldn't be more firm: "The subordinates will never leave the princess!"

Han Cook knew that what he said was in vain, if they were willing to take refuge in Cheng Zongsi, they would not forcibly break through the siege of Cheng Zongsi's 3,000 Sea Clan warriors with twenty people, and desperately escort themselves away.

Jiajing's face changed slightly: "I don't understand very well, I heard you say, you can't go back to the sea again, can you tell me what's going on? As long as Jiajing is within his ability, he will definitely draw a knife to help!"

Hancock sighed and explained: "There are disputes within the empire on the mainland, and so are we the Sea Clan, the four of us are all from the Seattle Empire in the South China Sea, my father has always advocated peaceful coexistence with the mainland empire, but the ambitious Zuo Xiang Cheng Zongsi has always advocated invading the mainland. Not long ago, he also launched a coup d'état, led three thousand elites to besiege the palace, only five of us escaped, the rest were either captured and surrendered or died in battle, my father in order to cover my escape, let the guards forcibly take me to escape, the five of us hid for almost a month, and finally forced to leave the sea, unfortunately encountered the slave hunting team of the Indian family, the tiger shark warrior Qiongchuan was killed in battle, and the four of us were caught by them, alas...... Cheng Zongsi is in charge of the Xihaitu Empire, and I am afraid that it will cause war again. ”

Jiajing couldn't help but secretly complain, originally the Yinya family was enough for him to worry about, but now there is the entire Xihai Tuhai clan. With his small Badaling, he picked up the Star Viscount, and he wanted to fight against the Athena Empire, not to mention the entire Sea Clan!

It seems that the plan to salvage the oil tanker has failed.

Jiajing looked at Hancock's sad and sobbing appearance, Chu Chu was pitiful, but his ability was limited, so he had to sigh: "In this case, you can live here with peace of mind, the people of the Innia family don't seem to know that the slaves captured by their slave hunting team are you, and you shouldn't have to hide in the cave all day." ”

Jiajing thought for a while: "By the way, Hancock, you have just woken up, let's rest first, I'll ask someone to bring you something to eat, and there is still a little thing to deal with next, so I will leave for a while." ”

Hancock nodded gratefully, looked at Jiajing's departing back, and whispered: "It seems that the people on the mainland are not all bad people......

Bao En also nodded approvingly: "Well, this Viscount Jiajing is a good person." ”

Jiajing said to himself whimsically as he walked: "It seems that the oil tanker is still 35,000 Newtons away from floating, it should be about 3,500 kilograms, and it will be good to find a sea beast with more strength as a war beast in the future." ”

However, the current Jiajing is really in too much trouble, and it is broken, the dragon knight, the fire magister, the sunset swamp, and the Incalnia family, which is full of uncertainties, can give him a headache, and now there is one more sea clan rebellion.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly twice and shrugged his shoulders: It's not a big deal, if you have the ability, you can rush to Badaling to find Lao Tzu's bad luck.

After thinking about it, Jiajing still decided to hand over the matter to Yan Mei to take care of for a period of time, and he went into retreat to study the wrath of destroying the sky.

As long as he improves his own strength, trains the red-eyed griffin and the pearl silver dragon python well, and relies on the identity of a super Warcraft warrior and a red-eyed griffin puppeteer, Jiajing doesn't believe that he can't protect Yan Mei and Hancock!

It's a big deal, Yihong doesn't want it.

At most, when the time comes, he will dive to the bottom of the sea, take out his guns, and fall into the grass like Vilia and them, and take Renault and them with him, galloping across this great wilderness, dividing one side, and who can control them.

Originally, Jiajing wanted to retreat as soon as he returned, but the current situation was really surprisingly large, and it delayed him for another month.

He laid out the future development plan with Yan Mei, Lao Ke, Allardier, and the Storm Bear brothers, and handed over the crossbow team to Allardier to manage, and began his own retreat.

As soon as Jiajing went into retreat, he was closed for nine months!

During this period of time, except for Yan Mei, who would bring food to Jiajing every day to see him, even Lao Ke and them were rarely able to see Jiajing.

The rest of the orphans who used to follow Yan Meiming, although they lived in the cave, they could only meet Jiajing by chance.

Yan Mei knew that Jiajing was in retreat and cultivating, so it was best not to be distracted by things in the outside world, so if there was nothing important, she would not go to Jiajing to discuss, for fear of disturbing him.

The four sea tribes didn't cause any trouble, but they had to soak in sea salt water for a few hours a week, and the swordfish warriors who were good at swordsmanship became swordsmanship instructors for private soldiers.

The Invenia family only sent out a mission to find the whereabouts of the slave catcher team in the mercenary guild, and most of the year passed, and no action was taken, as if the slave catcher team had been forgotten.

As for the battle between Essence and Athena, it has entered a stalemate.

Relying on the unpreparedness of the attack, Jingjue advanced the battle line for more than 300 kilometers and occupied five Athena cities, but there was no momentum of single-handed advance.
