Chapter 149: Who's on Whose Ship of Thieves
The pirates retreated, as Tang Jie had predicted, this was not a bunch of bloody pirates at all, all their courage was poured into the thirst for wealth, and their courage would crumble when wealth was hard to come by and the fear of survival overrode their greedy nature.
Such an enemy could not be his opponent, Tang Jie even felt that they were not worthy of being his opponent, but in comparison, he admired a guy like Alamsey who would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
Kaman, Yuri, and O'Sullivan retreated unwillingly under the powerful deterrence of Tang Jie's miracle arrow, and they didn't even dare to say a few more words, because they were afraid that this demon king would shoot another arrow from their warship, and after receiving Tang Jie's assurance that they would never pursue, they fled in a hurry like lost dogs.
Fierce when he came, embarrassed when he left, Angel looked at some unwilling eyes mixed with these pirates who fled in a hurry, and thoughtfully.
Who would dare to risk the wrath of the two empires and come to attack the princess of the Falco Empire?
Is it the vicious Queen Camilla, or is it the opposition to the marriage in the two empires?
Why was the convoy of the Pound Empire three days late at this juncture?
Angel's side surrounded by this series of questions, making her feel like she was in the abyss, dark and cold all around, and she didn't even know who to trust.
After nineteen years of living in that damn cold hellish palace, and now finally leaving it, Angel found that even when she was in the golden sun, she didn't feel any warmth, and it seemed that she had never escaped the damn palace cage.
It was as if her fate had been tied up in this cursed palace for the rest of her life, and she had never been free, even in the process of transferring from the cage of the Falco palace to the prison of the Pound palace, she still had to suffer a never-ending despicable attack from the shadows!
Christina, who has followed Princess Angel for many years, looked at Angel's young face but showed an old and mature look, and the grief in her heart was indescribable, in her opinion, although Her Royal Highness the princess is usually cold and arrogant, but she has a kind heart, and she will also show an innocent smile without a trace of impurities like other girls.
She was supposed to be a happy and happy woman, and this beautiful woman who was all over the country and the city should have been pampered, but the truth is that the suffering and all kinds of attacks she endured were far beyond anyone could have imagined.
I really don't know how her delicate body survived!
Christina sighed faintly in her heart, she stood beside Angel and whispered: "Your Highness, my Highness......"
Angel awoke from her deep thoughts, and she looked up at Christina with some confusion and displeasure, and she was very disgusted that someone was disturbing her while she was pondering.
Christina pointed at Tang Jie at the bow of the ship with her eyes and said, "My Highness, you should go and say something, say something to our warriors!"
"Huh?" Angel glanced at Tang Jie, her heart suddenly beat violently, a complex and unspeakable feeling hit her chest like a torrent, she retracted her gaze in panic, and lowered her voice to Christina, "You go to talk to him on my behalf?"
Christina's eyes widened: "I, I'll go and tell him, my Highness, you are the representative of the Empire, and it is up to you to come forward!"
Angel frowned slightly: "You go and ask him on my behalf, what does he want? Give him whatever he wants!"
Christina smiled bitterly, "My Highness, don't you see it yet? we can't offend him now, your attitude will anger him......!
Christina hesitated for a moment, she looked at the sailors and soldiers on the deck who were busy cleaning up the battle, and whispered: "I suspect that all this is a premeditated attack, and the instigator behind it is very likely that they will not be willing to accept this defeat!"
Angel's eyes flashed with a gleam: "What you said is the same as I thought, what I want to know now is, when is the next attack?"
Christina whispered, "So, there's a good chance we won't be able to withstand the next attack!
Angel took a deep breath and said sarcastically, "You mean, we've driven away a bunch of pirates, and we're going to hire another pirate to protect ourselves? aren't you afraid he's an even more vicious beast? That's a brilliant joke, Christina!"
Christina said helplessly: "It was he who drove away these pirates, not us, my Highness!
Angel thought for a while, she took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Tang Jie at the bow of the boat, but saw this man leaning idly on the side of the boat at this time, looking around with a curious gaze, his lazy posture and expression made it impossible to connect him with the image of the golden armor god of war just now.
Angel nodded her head as if she had made a great deal of determination, and she said, "Well, you're right, Christina! I'll go talk to him, but can you come with me?"
Angel bit her lip and said in a difficult tone: "I need a little courage......"
Christina smiled slightly: "Of course, my highness, I will always be behind you." ”
Tang Jie leaned on the side of the ship, he didn't care about the sailors of the ship secretly looking at him, just basking in the sun by himself, the warm sun made him look like a lion who was taking a sleepy nap, sleepy-eyed.
Occasionally, when Tang Jie grabbed a sailor to inquire about something, the sailor's face would change dramatically in shock, his tongue would be knotted, and he would tremble and unable to say a word.
Am I a devil? Am I so terrible?
Tang Jie thought depressedly.
"Dear Warrior......" A beautiful voice woke Tang Jie up from his lazy and idle sunbathing time, he opened his eyelids and looked at the visitor in front of him.
He wanted to ignore the three-seven-twenty-one, hijack the ship and then go back to Alcatraz Island, but when he got on the boat, he found that the boat was full of more than a thousand people eyeing him, and after driving away most of the pirates, Tang Jie found it difficult to be ruthless and shouted at the beautiful princess: Hey, I have requisitioned your ship, the little lady and I will go back to be the lady of the village!
He was embarrassed to do this, although he was a pirate, he had never done such a thing as robbing a house and bullying the weak.
After hearing Princess Angel's moving voice, Tang Jie straightened up and said to her with a smile, "Is there anything wrong?
Angel raised his head and looked at Tang Jie, and was immediately attracted by his dark eyes, which were as deep as the sea and as bright as the stars, which were so clear and transparent that they could reflect their own appearance, and Angel could not see the slightest hint of obscenity and obscenity in these eyes.
"Hmm...... On behalf of the Falco Empire, I would like to express my gratitude to you! Thank you for your righteous actions, thank you for your gentlemanly sense of justice!" Angel was a little helpless under Tang Jie's gaze, she was like a vulgar and unruly person, her head was lowered, her eyes were looking around, and her fingers were unconsciously rubbing the corners of her clothes.
Christina smiled bitterly in her heart, she coughed dryly, and stepped forward to make a round for Her Royal Highness the Princess: "In view of your help, please allow me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the three hundred and twenty-one people on board! We are willing to pay you a huge amount of money as a thank you!"
Tang Jie's eyes moved away from Angel's body, and Christina's words made him a little moved: Remuneration? A huge remuneration? That's a good thing, I happen to be so poor that I'm about to go bankrupt!
More than 1,000 people on Alcatraz Island are waiting to be fed!
Her Royal Highness the princess has made it clear that she doesn't want to see me, and I don't necessarily want to make this cold ass with a hot face, right?
It's so easy to be a good person, and you have to pay some rewards!
Tang Jie's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh, how much are you going to repay me?"
Angel and Christina were stunned at the same time, and neither of them could believe that this man like a god of war could exude the spirit of a merchant!
Angel somehow felt a disappointment in her heart, but also a sense of relief, disappointed that this man turned out to be such a vulgar and greedy person, he was really a vulgar pirate, and the relief was that she finally found a reason for herself to continue to hate and hate the man in front of her.
Christina was speechless when she ate, but Angel calmed down, she raised her head and looked directly at Tang Jie: "How much do you want to be paid?"
Tang Jie was a little uncomfortable with this sharp gaze, he subconsciously dodged slightly, and soon greeted him again, and said with a smile: "It's up to you!"
Angel frowned, and the momentum of the drama master who had been cultivated in the palace all the year round unconsciously exuded, and his eyes were sharp: "What does this sentence mean?"
Tang Jie didn't seem to feel this kind of gaze, he looked at Angel and Christina, and said with a smile: "This is how much the princess of the Erko Empire and this brave female warrior are worth together!"
This sentence made Angel's heart furious, and she said with a blushing face: "You want to blackmail the Falco Empire?"
Tang Jie spread out his hands and said with an aggrieved face: "Do I have it?
Angel clenched his fists and was filled with exasperation in his heart: he is the most shameless guy I have ever met!!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Christina quickly interjected: "Respected warrior, we appreciate your strong force and your righteous actions, but please maintain respect for Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Falco Empire, and don't measure her by such dirty things as money!"
Tang Jie smiled when he heard this, and he clapped his hands: "Since you are unwilling to make an offer, then there is no need to negotiate?" Okay, now, this boat can turn around!"
Christina asked in disbelief, "Turn around?"
Tang Jie smiled and said to the two of them with an expression that Angel later denounced as "extremely shameless and extremely scoundrel": "Didn't you hear what I said when I first got on the boat?"
Christina and Angel were puzzled and asked in unison, "What words?"
Tang Jie pointed to the ship and said, "I said at the time: This ship is now mine!"
Angel: "......"
Christina: "......"
Angel gritted his teeth and said to himself: I swear to Tira, the god of the sea, that he is definitely the most shameless guy in the world! He has no chivalry at all! He is indeed a shameless pirate!
Christina was startled when she heard this, she thought that Tang Jie really wanted to eat black and kill them all in turn, but she soon found a hint of a playful smile in the corner of Tang Jie's eyes, and she quickly reacted that this man was playing with them!
"Ahem...... Cristina, who had no choice but to act as the lubricant of the pressure reducer, said, "You are really humorous...... I haven't asked for your name yet, dear sir?"
"Tang Jie, my name is Tang Jie!" Tang Jie said with a smile, he had a good impression of this red-haired female warrior more than the aggressive beauty princess.
He is a typical guy who eats soft and does not eat hard, whoever speaks well to him, he will be polite to whom, and if anyone yells at him, he will directly add up his fists and feet.
"Then, Dear Mr. Tang Jie, we will definitely pay you the reward you said, please believe me, I swear to you with the dignity and credibility of a captain of the Royal Guard of the Falco Empire, it must be a huge amount of honorarity!" Christina said, "But as you can see, we are in terrible trouble! Someone dared to risk offending the two largest empires in the world to attack our Highness the Princess, and although we escaped this time with your courageous help, it is hard to say whether we will be able to escape such a catastrophe next time, so, we need your help!"
Christina looked at Tang Jie with a pleading but dignified gaze, and said, "We need you to escort us to the imperial capital of Garcia, and only when we get there, can you get your honorarium!"
Huh? To the imperial capital of Garcia?
At this time, Tang Jie also figured it out, he wanted the ship to turn around and return to Alcatraz Island, this is absolutely unrealistic, if he forcibly does this, his Alcatraz Island will definitely be wiped out under the joint attack of the enraged Pound Empire and the Falco Empire, the miracle arrow and the black dragon king with incomplete power will not be able to save him at all, he and his men will be buried in an instant by the monstrous anger of the two empires.
The only thing that can be done now is to follow the boat, find a place to go ashore, and then turn back to Sisis and back to Alcatraz.
But the honorarium mentioned by Angel and Christina impressed Tang Jie, he is indeed poor and in urgent need of money, more than a thousand mouths are waiting for him to feed, the construction of a huge sea castle is simply a gold-swallowing beast, and the treasure of Athos has been squandered by him.
Having a very good reward can naturally solve the urgent need, but the question is, they asked themselves to escort them to the imperial capital of Garcia?
That's too far, right?
Tang Jie was stunned for a moment and fell into thought.
In a period of rapid development on Alcatraz Island, leave Nia and them behind and go to the unpredictable imperial capital alone?
It's a question worth considering......
Tang Jie tilted his head and thought, he looked at Christina's gaze, and suddenly had a feeling: Why do I think I'm on a thief ship?
