After Zhang Tongtian communicated with those high-level Sky People, most of the transactions would also choose to barter.

And at the same time that everything was going well on Zhang Tongtian's side, in the bitter salt village of the Xuangu Continent, Shen Dajie was giving himself medicine, before he was hit in the chest by the stone kicked by the thief, he felt so painful at that time, and the place where he was hit was even more swollen and bruised, Shen Dajie felt that if it wasn't for the fact that he had begun to practice martial arts, his physical strength was much stronger than before, and he could directly break several ribs this time.

Since many people in this village were more seriously injured than him, several doctors transferred from the town were among those seriously injured, and he had to take medicine himself for such minor injuries.

And just when Shen Dajie was enduring the stinging pain in his room and carefully medicating himself, the bitter panther rushed into his house again, and shouted at him excitedly: "Teacher, there's a big boat outside, it's really big!" ”

When Shen Dajie heard this, he immediately put on a coat and went out to check the situation, but as soon as he went out, he saw a battleship appear on the sea not far away.

This battleship is a wooden sail warship, the main body is still hardwood, only the outer side of the hull is wrapped with a layer of iron, its length is more than 30 meters, and the width is more than 6 meters, and the largest fishing boat in Kuyan Village is only about five meters long, compared with those small fishing boats, this is indeed a big ship, no wonder the bitter panther this kid is so excited.

It's just that what Shen Dajie doesn't understand is why such a battleship came to Kuyan Village, could it be that the battleship was damaged during the voyage, so it made an emergency stop near this small village?

And the facts quickly proved that Shen Dajie guessed wrong this time, and this battleship came specifically to Kuyan Village.

According to a naval captain on the battleship, this battleship was eliminated from the navy's transport forces, after all, the newly built transport ships now use steel keels, all of which are very large in size, and this kind of old warships in the transport fleet are all small in size, and they are close to their service life, so they are simply eliminated from the navy and temporarily leased to Kuyan Village for use.

And it is not only Kuyan Village that has obtained this eliminated battleship, but also many seaside fishing villages that have been attacked by bandits not long ago have obtained such a eliminated battleship. Most of these warships belong to small warships, according to the current division of the Qinglong Empire Navy, those warships below 50 meters in length are all small warships, those above 50 meters and below 100 meters belong to medium-sized warships, and those above 100 meters are large warships.

Since the Blue Dragon Empire Navy now uses these wooden warships to transport supplies most of the time, it is natural that the larger the size and tonnage, the higher the efficiency of transportation, so these warships that are too small will be eliminated so quickly.

And don't look at these warships are too small in the eyes of the navy, but they are absolutely huge in these small fishing villages, and they can even fit all the villagers of Kuyan Village.

This is actually the main reason why Guo Dafu decided to temporarily lease these obsolete warships to these fishing villages, with these warships in hand, if those fishing villages are attacked in the future, they can completely hide on the battleships temporarily, so that most of the bandits and bandits on land have nothing to do with them.

As for those pirates, it is generally difficult to take down such a regular warship.

Although the guns on these obsolete small warships have been removed, they have been replaced with some slightly less powerful, but easier to operate large ballistas.

Take the small warship assigned to Kuyan Village as an example, it has two large ballistas in the bow and stern, and it can also be freely switched between single shot and burst mode, where the burst mode can cause effective damage to most enemies below the innate realm, and the single shot mode is more powerful, enough to hurt those innate one or two martial artists.

In addition, the hull was flanked by low walls made of steel plates with perforations, allowing the villagers to take refuge behind the sturdy steel walls and shoot with crossbows and muskets.

It is conceivable that when such a battleship is full, its firepower is actually very fierce, and the average pirate cannot be compared at all, and even if the firepower cannot be compared, this battleship can directly sink the small ships of those pirates by virtue of its tonnage advantage, after all, these wooden warships have taken this tactic into account when they were built, so their ship capitals are built very solidly, and with the modified stainless steel ramming angle, even if it is a pirate ship of the same size, it is also one by one.

As for the cost of renting this battleship, it is actually very low, only the villagers need to hand in one-tenth of the catch every month. After three years, the battleship belonged to the fishing village completely.

In fact, with such a small warship in hand, the brave fishermen in the fishing village can go to the deep sea where they did not dare to go before, and the catch will definitely be much more than before, and there is no pressure on the villagers to hand over one-tenth of the catch as the cost of renting this warship.

The villagers of Kuyan Village, from this move by the top of the empire, all deeply felt the importance of the upper levels to them, the people at the bottom, and some villagers were moved to bow and thank them on the spot in the direction where Shark Castle City was located.

At this time, Guo Dafu was not actually in Shark Castle City, but had just returned to Thang Long City on Roaring Island.

He came back this time, mainly to hold a wedding with the princess of the Golden Eagle Empire, Ling Zhi, not long ago after he communicated with his wife Su Li, the other party also agreed to Ling Zhi to enter the door, so the wedding of the two has been preparing for a while. In addition, this time Guo Dafu will make up the wedding with Su Li, after all, there were many things before, and he and Su Li did not hold a wedding.

Now that the Central Continent has turned from offensive to defensive, and the war has stopped for a while, Guo Dafu finally has the time to take some time to hold a wedding with his two wives.

To be honest, as an imperial emperor sitting on tens of millions of square kilometers of land, only two women are really a bit too little, so when I heard that Guo Dafu came back, there are many families who think they have a bit of status, and they also want to marry the women of the family to Guo Dafu, so as to enrich the emperor's harem.

However, Guo Dafu politely refused this, after all, he is now the emperor of the Qinglong Empire, and every word and deed must be carefully considered, just like this time, if he is greedy for women and includes all the beauties sent by those people into the harem, then it will make those families suddenly become imperial relatives, and once these relatives become stronger, it will be a huge hidden danger to the stability of the empire.

So for the sake of long-term consideration, Guo Dafu will never accept beauties into his harem.

And as the princess of the Golden Eagle Empire, Ling Zhi, who was fortunate enough to be included in the harem by Guo Dafu this time, actually has a trace of regret about her marriage, because she is actually a good-looking party, and the ideal object in her mind has always been that handsome guy type. And Guo Dafu, the emperor of the Blue Dragon Empire, although he is not ugly, he is not very handsome, and his appearance can really only be said to be mediocre. If you really want to praise the other party in terms of appearance, then at most you can only say that your facial features are correct.

Fortunately, Guo Dafu is not handsome enough, but Ling Zhi is quite satisfied in other aspects, after all, in addition to her requirements for appearance, she also has requirements for her future husband's strength, that is, at least she can't be much weaker than her, and Guo Dafu is not only not weaker than her, relying on the blessing of various secret arts, her combat power has already steadily entered the level of a great grandmaster, and she is a master of the same level as her mother.

And when she thought of her mother, Ling Zhi couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, she should be almost like a traitor to the Golden Eagle Empire now, so this wedding, her mother, as the only elder who is still alive, is not likely to attend.

Although there are still many regrets, Ling Zhi also understands that this wedding between herself and Guo Dafu must be held, after all, she is in the Qinglong Empire, she can be said to be a complete outsider, but she has the Eagle Yang Army in her hands, an elite army of hundreds of thousands, if she refuses this marriage, many generals of the Blue Dragon Empire will have distrust of the Eagle Yang Army led by her in the future, in this case, the Eagle Yang Army is likely to become cannon fodder in the rejection of everyone, This was not the result Ling Zhi wanted, so even if it was just for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of Eagle Yang Army soldiers who followed her, she couldn't refuse this marriage. Not to mention, if she wants to take revenge in the future, she must also rely on the power of Guo Dafu and the Blue Dragon Empire, otherwise, on her own, she will not have the ability to confront the powerful Golden Eagle Empire at all.

And just as Ling Zhi was trying on his own wedding dress with a slightly sad face, a mysterious person wearing a black robe, and even his head and face were tightly wrapped in a black scarf, was standing on the treetop of a big tree near Ling Zhi's room, looking at Ling Zhi inside through the half-open window.

The strange thing is that Ling Zhi, who is a master of the Grandmaster Realm, is unaware of this.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the black-robed man outside the window also disappeared like the wind, without attracting Ling Zhi's attention.

Ling Zhi got up and opened the door of the room, and found that there was a green crane outside the door, and the other party was holding a large box of beautifully made gorgeous jewelry.

As a princess who has just lost her father and lost her country, Qinghe and Ling Zhi actually have similar backgrounds and experiences, but she does not have the good luck of Ling Zhi, she can be favored by a great emperor like Guo Dafu, and then married into the harem.

She had heard that the emperor of the Blue Dragon Empire had only two women in total so far, and as the second Ling Zhi to enter the door, this time she was likely to be named a noble concubine, and her status in the harem was second only to that queen Su Li. And the other party still has the military power of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eagle Yang Army in his hands, and he will definitely mix well in this Qinglong Empire in the future, unlike her, who is pitiful now, and can only send people under the fence, even if he wants to recommend himself to the pillow seat, the emperor of the Qinglong Empire can't look down on it.

Yes! In order to gain the capital for revenge and revenge for herself, Qinghe had already seen an opportunity to recommend herself to Guo Dafu, but unfortunately her appearance was obviously not enough to impress the emperor of the Qinglong Empire, and she was almost driven away by the other party who was disgusted.
