Chapter 314: Human Wisdom
This question had actually been in Su Yue's stomach for a long time, and he had always wanted to know the answer to this question, but thinking that Han Xiao was in a big battle before, and he had to cultivate later, he didn't ask this question very interestingly. But now that he has talked about this issue, of course he will not let go of this opportunity again.
And at this time, even the hammer was already on the side and said, "Yes, I have always been curious about this question. At this time, Su Yue's body changed again, although she was still in the state of a big lizard, her two hind legs had obviously grown a lot.
"Why?" Han Xiao smiled and said, "What else can it be, because of the strong self-confidence of Western monks, and because they just want to deliberately leave such a group of people." ”
Su Yue and the others didn't speak, just listened quietly.
In fact, Han Xiao can understand Qin Wuyue's approach very well, in the case that the powerhouses of the Huating Empire have been defeated, and the remaining wealthy nobles should flee and surrender, in fact, Qin Wuyue and them are really very dangerous to stay in the Huating Empire in this way, but they still stayed without hesitation.
It's all because they're all gambling. The real decision-makers in the Huating Empire now would not know that monks like Qin Wuyue were all left with two hearts, but they just wanted to keep Qin Wuyue, because they were already very confident in their own strength, even if Qin Wuyue and them were here to be the internal response, it would be impossible to bring back those wealthy monks who escaped from the Huating Empire.
And the result of this is that those wealthy monks of the Huating Empire who are hiding outside will gradually find that it is difficult to return to the Huating Empire even if there is an internal response, and the longer Qin Wuyue is in the Huating Empire, the more they do nothing, and the more they will hit those Huating monks outside. Maybe it's not fatal, but if someone does be affected, it can definitely be fatal.
In the final analysis, leaving Qin Wuyue and them in Huating was to undermine the confidence of those who escaped, not to tell those people that they would take them in even if they had two hearts.
Qin Wuyue wouldn't not know about such a situation, even if Qin Wuyue couldn't understand it, Situ Han couldn't see it clearly. But they all stayed in the Huating Empire, because they were also gambling, and they were betting that they could really contribute to the restoration of the Huating Empire in the future.
In fact, Han Xiao couldn't figure out all this before, he couldn't understand why Qin Wuyue wanted to stay in Huating at all, but after realizing that Situ Han was also staying in Huating Empire, he began to think more deeply about this problem, and then he figured it all out.
Su Yue listened to Han Xiao's explanation, and could only shake his head helplessly, in his opinion, although Han Xiao's explanation was very clear, he still couldn't understand this kind of thing. Seeing Su Yue's disapproving expression, Han Xiao could also understand his thoughts.
After all, Su Yue had also said that in the Twin Seas, in fact, the battle of annihilation of the country often happened, because the confrontation between the ancient realm monks and the Tianfu bloodline monks in the Twin Seas had already reached the level where it could not be resolved, and it was not like the dispensable situation of the Three Realms Sea, so the battle there was not a battle between countries at all, but a pure battle between two worlds.
"Then where is the first dragon lair you plan to explore?" After clarifying these questions, Su Yue asked instead.
"I want to go to Ssangyong Hai. Han Xiao said.
"Shuanglong Hai?" Hearing Han Xiao's words, Iron Hammer first let out a doubt: "You want to go back to Tianning Kingdom?"
"Tianning Country?" Su Yueyi frowned: "Is that the country of Qin Wuyue that I said before?"
"Yes, it's Qin Wuyue's country, and it's also my hometown. Han Xiao said: "Among the many dragon nests that the dark night gave me, two dragon nests were actually in the Shuanglong Sea area, but they had not been discovered before. I'm going to go back and take a look, and by the way, see what Tianning Kingdom has become now. ”
Of course, Su Yue and they had no objections to Han Xiao's arrangement, and Iron Hammer only thought that Han Xiao might just want to go back to Tianning Kingdom on a whim, and there was nothing wrong with such a thing.
Today's Tianning Kingdom is actually not much different from the past, after the Huating Empire was invaded by the Western powers, the Tianning Imperial Family almost surrendered, so the war did not affect this country too much. Of course, Emperor Qingyang had disappeared at the time of surrender, and even many of the worshipping elders of the royal family had also left the imperial family before the imperial family surrendered, so it also led to the fact that they assassinated the royal monks after the imperial family surrendered.
It's just that all of this has become a thing of the past, and now Qin Wuyue has changed from the girl princess in the past to a Tongxuan powerhouse, struggling with a very special identity in the Imperial Navy, and the monks in Tianning Kingdom have also become much quieter than in the past. Because although this is only a state, the Western powers still have not relaxed their rule here, and the current Tianning Kingdom is the same as the Huating Empire, and the monks are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Western monks are naturally well-deserved nobles, no matter what status these people had in the Western country, anyway, after coming here, they have become nobles among nobles.
Fortunately, monks are monks after all, and although they have oppressed many wealthy families very seriously, they have not persecuted ordinary people much. Of course, this is not to say how noble these monks are, but after they have really cultivated to a certain level, the monks have unconsciously lost the idea of doing something to ordinary people, and even if they are greedy for beauty, they will rarely find a woman who is not a monk.
"Then we'll have to get a boat now. Thinking of returning to Tianning Kingdom, Su Yue spoke. Hearing Su Yue's words, Su Chen immediately spoke: "I have already explored when I came, there is an island five hundred nautical miles away from here, and there is a pirate regiment stationed there, we can go there to grab a warship." ”
"Okay, let's do it. Su Yue nodded.
"That's it. Han Xiao said with a smile: "What kind of warship to rob, we are going to act in secret, how conspicuous it is to rob a warship." ”
"What do you mean? Su Yue asked.
"Su Chen must have a ship when he comes, just use his boat. Han Xiao said.
Su Chen looked at Han Xiao like an idiot, and said: "My ship was robbed halfway, there is only a spirit cannon, and it is even a very old one, if we use this kind of ship to walk on the sea, basically we will encounter pirates with better ships, and we will have to abandon the ship." ”
"Whoever said they were going to go by themselves, it would be enough to have a ship that could get to a seaport. Han Xiao waved his hand and said, and then simply didn't explain at all, and took them directly on the road.
Bai'an Island, strictly speaking, is already an island in the West Sea. It's just that the state of this island is also quite special, if it is ruled by the Huating Empire, there are still many pirates here, but if it is said that it is a place where pirates like Kongming Island gather, there is even an imperial navy stationed here. In fact, this is a black-and-white island, of course, Bai'an Island is still an island belonging to the Huating Empire on the surface.
"The Western giants can defeat all the powerhouses of the Huating Empire, and even drive out all the unconvinced giants, but they still can't control all the naval monks in their hands. Of course, these imperial navies can only be driven by the Western giants because of the general trend, but except for those bigwigs at the top, the rest of the naval friars are still doing things in their own way. Walking on the road of Bai'an Island, Han Xiao naturally explained to Su Yue and them.
"This was originally an island for garrison, and the Imperial Navy was stationed here to protect merchant ships in the western sea. It's just that we all know that the sea area is so big and there are so many merchant ships, how can it be possible to protect it if you want to protect it. So the best way to do this is to gather all the merchant ships and the pirates. As long as you are willing to pay spirit stones on Bai'an Island, you can trade on it, as well as pay tribute. Han Xiao continued to explain.
"Nagong?" asked Su Yue puzzled.
"Yes, it's Nagon. Han Xiao nodded and smiled: "If you want to safely pass through the merchant ships in this sea area, you have to feed the Imperial Navy on Bai'an Island first, and then you have to give some sweetness to the pirates stationed here, so that these pirates will definitely not embarrass these merchant ships, and even take the initiative to escort these merchant ships. ”
"What a strange thing. After listening to this, Su Yue said with emotion.
"Not strange, not at all. Han Xiao waved his hand: "Everything pays attention to a sharp word, business is for spirit stones, being a pirate is also for spirit stones, and in addition to spirit stones, the most important thing is to live." If you can, no one wants to go toe-to-toe with someone else. There are actually many islands like Bai'an Island in the West Sea, especially after the Western giants entered the Huating Empire, the trade between the Western countries and the Huating Empire became more and more frequent, and there were more and more merchant ships coming here to forage for food, but in the end there were more and more pirates who colluded with the Imperial Navy. As long as everyone is friendly and wealthy, identity or something can be ignored. ”
After hearing these words, Su Yue slowly opened up her understanding. Thinking about it, there are so many merchant ships and so many pirate ships in the huge sea, if the navy really wants to go to sea diligently to escort those who come on board, the manpower and warships alone will definitely not be enough, and the risks are even more unpredictable.
"This is the wisdom of man. Thinking of this, Su Yue suddenly sighed.
Hearing this, Han Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then asked, "Won't such a situation occur in the Twin Seas?"
Su Yue shook her head very seriously and said, "There is only real battle in the Twin Seas, and there is no such hypocrisy as a snake. ”
Hearing Su Yue's words, Han Xiao shook his head and said, "That's because you always focus on the frontal battlefield, as long as there are people, there will be these calculations." You know, there's nothing shameful about that. As you just said, this is human wisdom. Everyone is just begging for a bite to eat, even if the Twin Seas are a battle between the Ancient Realm and Tianfu, but more people must be living at the bottom and can't touch that kind of high level of battle. They are more concerned about how many spirit stones they can get today, what realm they can cultivate to in their lifetime, and whether their children have the opportunity to cultivate to their own height or beyond their own cultivation. ”
"Your idea is strange. Su Yue looked at Han Xiao and said.
"I just see more of the lives of ordinary people than you do. Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "Let's go, I'll take you to try to go to Tianning Kingdom in the most ordinary and trouble-free way." ”
Su Yue found that with Han Xiao, he could always experience many interesting things, which he couldn't experience at all in the Twin Seas. This time is the same, after following Han Xiao for a while, they walked on a boat under the leadership of an obscene-looking, but extremely athletic old man, and after getting on the boat, the man did not forget to tell Han Xiao: "Don't make trouble after getting on the boat, just go over honestly." ”
"Okay, thank you boss. Han Xiao said with a smile, and casually stuffed the old man with a piece of top-grade spirit stone.
Han Xiao's hand has always been generous, and although the old man was silent when he turned out to be the best spirit stone, the joy in his eyes could not be hidden. After a few laughs, the old man quietly got off the boat again.
Su Yue looked at the appearance of this ship, and said with some surprise: "Let's use this ship to go to Tianning Kingdom?"
"Of course, how about it, yes, isn't this better than robbing any pirate ship?" Han Xiao said with a smile.
Su Yue nodded in agreement, and said: "Yes, a destroyer battleship, a super battleship that can carry five hundred people is naturally much stronger than a pirate ship, and the most important thing is that this is still a naval warship, not only is it not afraid of wind and waves, but even pirates don't have to be afraid." Speaking of this, Su Yue even said with a smile: "How did you come up with this method." ”
"Haha, it's human wisdom. Han Xiao laughed. In fact, this is nothing unusual for Han Xiao. Today's Imperial Navy can't get too many resources because of the oppression of the Western powers, and the Imperial Navy monks are also monks, and they also have to cultivate, so they can only do everything they can to earn spirit stones. Sending a few people out to sea on a naval warship like this is actually not a big deal for the Imperial Navy.
In the past ten years, if Han Xiao needs to go to sea when he goes out to hunt demon beasts, he usually uses this method. It's really hard to imagine how these people on the warship would feel if they knew that they had a criminal on the Empire's first-class bounty list on board.
"I hope you don't be disappointed this time. Sitting on the warship, Han Xiao said lightly.
