Chapter 208: Forcing the King to Obey
Chapter 208 forced Wang Yue to comply
"Brother Xian, I've heard that there are a lot of pirates on this sea. Have you never met it before?" Wang Ming and Huo Qingtian walked together. As the two walked, they were also chatting about some things about pirates.
"Well, don't hide it from Big Brother. In the past, there were a lot fewer pirates because of the suppression of the sea gang, but I don't know why there have been a lot more recently, and many caravans have been intercepted by pirates. At worst, most of the cargo is lost, and at worst, the ship is destroyed and people are killed. If it weren't for the fact that we have a close relationship with the Sea Gang, and every time we go to sea, we will pass with the Sea Gang, I am afraid that we would have been intercepted by pirates. When the time comes, it will be more than lucky. Huo Qingtian sighed and said.
"Then why did the Sea Gang continue to let the pirates continue to run rampant? Not to mention that the strength of the Sea Gang is very large, do ordinary pirates have to avoid it?" Wang Ming said with great confusion when he heard this.
"Big brother, you don't know. Pirates are rampant at sea. The previous pirates were few and could have been easily wiped out. Even if the power increases slightly, it will be suppressed by the sea gang, and they will not dare to make trouble against the wind. ”
"However, the current pirates are different, not only are they greatly more numerous than before, but they have also set up strongholds on many remote islands and mountains, and have repeatedly fought against the sea gangs, and it can be said that they have lost money against each other. But in general, it was the pirates who had the upper hand. If it weren't for the first-class navigation skills of the Sea Gang, I am afraid that it would have been defeated by pirates. However, if it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult to do it for 10 ≥ at sea. Speaking of this, Huo Qingtian sighed and said.
"Yes. Brother Huo, don't worry too much, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!" Wang Ming patted Huo Qingtian on the shoulder and comforted.
"Yes. Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good. My acquaintance with Brother Wang Ming confirms this sentence. Let's go, I'll take you to see Wang Ming's most famous scenery on Huoyu Island, Huoyu Volcano!" said Huo Qingsheng and took Wang Ming towards the depths of Huoyu Island.
Although the area of Huoyu Island is about the same as that of Zhenyuan City, because most of Huoyu Island is a mountain range, the population of Huoyu Island is only more than 100,000, which is much less than the hundreds of thousands of people in Zhenyuan City. Even so, the inhabitants of Huoyu Island are still fierce and fierce, and the people are fierce. Casually encountering a few strong men are all seven or eight levels of strength in the quenching period, and some powerhouses in the transcendent realm are not as rare as Zhenyuan City, and Huo Qingtian is a real Lingtai realm overlord.
"Brother Wang Ming, this is the Fire Rain Volcano. Wang Ming pointed to the large volcanoes around him, each of which was hundreds of meters high. Although it is not very high, each volcano is red like a flame, and there are seven or eight small hills connected together to form a small area.
"It's really extraordinary! I can feel the power of the volcano as I stand here. Isn't there any danger of this volcano erupting?" Wang Ming knew why there were so many warriors on this small island after seeing this volcano. It turns out that this volcano is a very good source of spiritual power.
"There is danger, but it's not very obvious. However, the inhabitants of our island have lived here for hundreds of years, and they have been living unharmed. I don't think there will be any problems for the time being. What's more, this fire attribute is full of spiritual energy, and the residents of our small island depend on it for their lives, which can be regarded as complementing each other. In addition, the flint that is abundant on our island is also a great fortune to sell outside. Huo Qingtian took Wang Ming to the bottom of the volcano and explained to Wang Ming one by one.
"Hmm. That's really good. Wang Ming also picked up a red stone at random and held it in his hand. Although the spiritual power in this flint stone is not enough to be used for cultivation, it may still have some development value if it is used for other purposes. Just as Wang Ming and Huo Qingtian were walking around the volcano, suddenly several guards on the small island hurriedly ran towards them.
"The Owner, the Owner, and the people of the Conch Gang have something important to discuss with the Owner. It is said to be related to pirates. The guard gasped and said anxiously.
"Well, you go back and deliver the message first, and I'll be there shortly. Huo Qingtian frowned, and suddenly felt that the ominous premonition he had been feeling had finally been verified.
"Brother Huo Qingtian, I don't know what happened?" Wang Ming and Huo Qingtian also talked happily with each other, and when they saw Huo Qingtian's sad face, they also asked with great concern.
"That's right. Recently, piracy has become more and more rampant, so the friction between the Conch Gang and the pirates has also increased. I think they must have come to me to discuss what to do. I don't know if Brother Wang Ming can go over with me to study countermeasures!" Huo Qingtian asked a little embarrassed.
"Hehehe, of course. After all, piracy is becoming more and more rampant, if this matter is not dealt with properly. Maybe I'll be hindered when I return to the mainland. In this way, my trip will be delayed indefinitely, which is very detrimental to our royal family. You might as well let Brother Huo Qingtian lead the way, and I'll go over and have a look. "Wang Ming has experienced countless dangers in his life, and this place is nothing compared to going deep into the Frost Forest.
"Then I will thank Brother Wang Ming. Huo Qingtian's face was happy, and he rushed to the meeting hall on the island with Wang Ming.
There is a small town on top of the island, and this is where the island's inhabitants live. Although this small city is slightly smaller than the main city of Zhenyuan City, the buildings inside are all available. In particular, the council chamber is the most magnificent building on the island. Now there are seven or eight Lingtai Realm powerhouses in this building, and there is even an overlord of the Guiyuan Realm waiting inside.
"Elder Lin. It's really rude that the younger brother didn't be able to greet him in person. Huo Qingtian hurriedly came to Elder Lin and said with a smile. The other party also politely replied, and sat down separately.
"Island Lord Huo, is this the VIP you brought back from Chu Yun Kingdom?" Elder Lin looked at Wang Ming and asked.
"Yes, yes. If it weren't for him this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back. Huo Qingtian also said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll get down to business first. I came to you this time just to ask how much manpower you can send to Fire Rain Island to encircle and suppress pirates this time?" Elder Lin nodded at Wang Ming, and then changed the topic and talked about the purpose of this trip.
"Elder Lin, I won't tell you anything, our Fire Rain Island went to Chu Yunguo this time because of the incident, and we lost a lot of good hands. I'm afraid that this time the encirclement and suppression of pirates is really a little overwhelming. Hearing Elder Lin say this, Huo Qingtian's face suddenly turned pale, and he said very weakly.
"Huo Qingtian, I've given you enough face. If you really don't give me face, I have nothing to say. Then your caravan will not want to board our Conch Gang ship again. I don't think there are many caravans on this Chiyang Island who want to go to Chu Yunguo to make a fortune. As for the situation, you can see for yourself. Elder Lin snorted coldly and said.
"Elder Lin, we've already been there a lot of people last time. But only three or four out of ten people can come back alive. This time you asked me to send someone, how can I find it. Even if I am the owner of the island, I can't let the people on the island all go to death!" Huo Qingtian said with a wry smile.
"I don't care. Tell you, I'm the helper. If the helper asks for sin, don't blame me for not being merciful. What's more, what I have summoned this time is not the manpower of your island on Huoyu Island, almost all of the islands under the jurisdiction of our Conch Gang have a share. If you don't send people to Rain Island, those small islands won't join it. In the long run, our Conch Gang still has WeChat! Okay, that's all for me, and I'm leaving. Elder Lin snorted coldly, and left the council hall directly with the people, leaving only Huo Qingtian and several stewards on the island sitting in the council hall with sad faces.
"Brother Huo Qingtian. This pirate is so powerful, is it not even possible for a gang as big as the Conch Gang, and he still has to find people from nearby islands to make up the numbers?" Speaking of which, the people involved in these islands are cannon fodder, and they are all used to send them to death. Otherwise, with the power of the Conch Gang, how could they let the people of Huoyu Island go to ten and only come back three or four! If this is the case, if the pirates do not die, then the Conch Gang will probably disappear.
"In fact, pirates are not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is the spirit beasts encountered on the way to encircle and suppress pirates. Every time I go to encircle and suppress pirates, I will pass through a sea area with many spirit beasts in it. These spirit beasts are all very ferocious, and if they don't eat some of the crew, they will not stop attacking. So every time we encircle and suppress pirates, we have to work very hard. If it weren't for the encirclement and suppression of pirates, they would still be able to share a considerable amount of wealth. I'm afraid we won't go even if we fall out with the Conch Gang. ”
"After all, a certain amount of protection money must be paid to the Conch Gang every year, not to mention, if you participate in the pirate encirclement, you will also have to give a large pension to each family. The most important thing is that the high-level martial artists on the island, one group of deaths will be one less. If all of them are dead, I'm afraid it will be a big problem for us to go to sea. Don't talk about supporting yourself. Huo Qingtian said with a miserable laugh.
"That's right!" Wang Ming nodded, able to understand their suffering. After all, when they were in Zhenyuan City, their family had to enter the Frost Forest every month to hunt spirit beasts, and every time it was extremely dangerous. If something is not good, I am afraid that there will be casualties.
"Hehe, I'm so sorry. Originally, I wanted to bring you to our Rain Island to have a good time, but there have been too many things lately. In this way, I will arrange a meal for my eldest brother today, and I will arrange for others to accompany Brother Wang Ming to play on the island for a few more days in the future. After the pirate matter is over, how about I personally send my eldest brother to Chu Yunguo?" Huo Qingtian said very embarrassedly.
"Okay. Since I'm here as a guest, I just want to know more about the customs! After Wang Ming left the council hall, he went to other places to relax by himself. Of course, Huo Qingtian also arranged for someone to lead Wang Ming as a tour guide.
"Big brother, how did you bring back an irrelevant person?" Just after Wang Ming left, a Lingtai Realm overlord asked in great surprise.
"You don't know. Although this Wang Ming is not a big person, his son is not ordinary!" Huo Qingtian said thoughtfully.
"Oh, what's out of the ordinary. Could it be that his son is an important task of Chu Yunguo, and he is still the great elder of the Li family. This Lingtai Realm Overlord said inexplicably.
"It's better than that. His son is a core disciple of Luo Tianzong, and he is a good friend of the eldest son of the Li family. If he is left here, even if the pirates come to besiege the island. As long as the news reaches Li Deguang, his son Wang Yue will also know the news. When the time comes, the problem of piracy will be solved. Huo Qingtian said with a smile.
"It turns out that the eldest brother has taken a fancy to his son's power. If that's the case, we're going to have to entertain him. Otherwise, if his son really comes, and see that he has been wronged by us, I am afraid that we will not be able to explain to his son. The Lingtai Realm Overlord finally said with a clear mind.
"Yes. It's good to know. Since this is the case, you can arrange it and quickly prepare a sumptuous dinner for Brother Wang Ming. And the formation of these days must also be properly arranged. In particular, the place where he stays at night must be treated as a VIP. Huo Qingtian said with a smile as soon as he thought of the best possible scenario.
"Got it, big brother. The lives of more than 100,000 people on our entire island are in his hands. I'm not going to be sloppy. With that, the Lingtai Realm Overlord left the council hall to prepare.
"Boss Wang. This is the most famous fire rainforest on our Rain of Fire Island. This forest is home to the most famous plant on our Rain of Fires Island. Not only can the fruit or fruit of this tree be used for food, but the trunk of the tree can also be used to build a house, and even the branches on it can be used to make fires. Every year, the Hugo we pick here can make a net profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver when they are sold on Chiyang Island!" Under the guidance of the guide, Wang Ming walked into a red forest.
Wang Ming walked into this forest, as if he had walked into a sea of flames. Each leaf on this fire rain tree is in the shape of a flame. If I hadn't known that this was just a forest, at first glance I would have thought that this forest was on fire. Standing in the middle of the woods a little, Wang Ming could feel that the fire rain forest was filled with a rich aura of flame attributes.
After Wang Ming rested here for a while, it became dark. Under the guidance of the guide, Wang Ming also came to the best restaurant in Huoyu City. Here, Huo Qingtian had already prepared a large table of meals to entertain Wang Ming. This made Wang Ming feel somewhat flattered. In addition, the clansmen brought by Wang Ming were also treated very well here, which is also where Wang Ming is quite pleased.
However, four days passed, and Wang Ming seemed to sense that something was wrong. Because Wang Yue had already said that he would only stay here for two days and three days before leaving, but now that it was the fourth day, Huo Qingtian didn't seem to have arranged a return boat for them. This made Wang Ming somewhat confused and dissatisfied in his heart.
"Patriarch, does this Huo Qingtian want to keep Wang Ming here if he doesn't want to leave Wang Ming here? Although we don't have anything like this, it will have a great impact on our family's business!" the steward of the caravan couldn't help but say to Wang Ming.
"Well, it's not an option to stay here all the time. So be it. I went to Huo Qingtian to explain the matter and asked him to find us some ships to go back. Even if you spend more, it's no problem. When the person in charge said this, Wang Ming was somewhat unable to sit still. had to ask people to find Huo Qingtian.
"Huo Qingtian, the person I asked you to find hasn't been found yet! Our Conch Gang is going to encircle and suppress the pirates immediately. If you don't send someone out to sea again, I'll tell the helper about it. I think the helper will definitely have an arrangement. As for how to punish you Fire Rain Island, I don't know. Elder Lin sat in the council hall and said with a sneer.
"Elder Lin, it's not that I don't want to send someone, but there is a big man who may come to our Fire Rain Island. If this big man comes, it won't be good if we don't take care of it. Isn't that right!" Huo Qingtian said with a smile while apologizing.
"Oh, what is the matter?" asked Elder Lin, whose face turned cold.
"Who would be more helpful than our Conch Gang. If you can't find a good reason, I'll tell you about it. I'm afraid that you Fire Rain Island will be punished more severely!" said Elder Lin with some anger.
"Elder Lin, in fact, I'm also thinking about our Conch Gang. If this person comes, he will definitely become a powerful helper for our Conch Gang to encircle and suppress pirates. When the time comes, he will be more effective than a thousand Lingtai Realm powerhouses. So I hope the helper can wait a few more days. I don't think the helper will be blamed when he finds out about this. Huo Qingtian said with a smile.
"Oh? Okay. Since that's the case, then I'll listen to your explanation. Come on, don't beat around the bush with me. Elder Lin said with an impatient look.
"I think Elder Lin must be no stranger to Luo Tianzong. The person I'm talking about is related to Luo Tianzong, and it is inseparable from the VIP we saw last time. Huo Qingtian said with a smile.
"That VIP is called Wang Ming, and he was originally just an ordinary family in a small city. But there was a peerless genius in their family named Wang Yue. Wang Yue is incredible. is not only a good friend of Li Deguang, the eldest son of the Li family, but also a core disciple of Luo Tianzong. At least the strength of the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm. ”
"Elder Lin, if you think about it, such a character is an extremely rare existence in our Conch Gang after all. If he comes, will it help us strangle the pirates?" Huo Qingtian said flatteringly.
"Oh, if that's the case, that's a good thing indeed. But there's one thing I don't understand. If Wang Yue is willing to help us encircle and suppress pirates, it will naturally be the best. But if he comes and doesn't want to suppress the pirates, I'm afraid even we won't be able to force him. What are you going to do then?"
