Chapter 591: The Inner Court of the Palace
The pirates drew their swords, shouted, and pounced!
The blood flew, and soon, the two pirates fell, and Tang Hao's body was also covered with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the enemy's blood, and he still protected the girl behind him.
The ferocity of the pirates was aroused and surrounded again. Soon, Tang Hao began to be hit continuously, and the girl behind him screamed, and began to stab with arrows indiscriminately.
After all, the heroes were hard to beat their fists, and seeing that the two were surrounded, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the sea.
Immediately afterward, a low trumpet sound came with the sea breeze.
On the sea, at some point, another big ship came, and with another loud bang, it bombarded the pirate ship.
The horn sounded rapidly, from the pirate ship, as if to summon the pirates to return. The remaining pirates rolled over and ran back.
The girl even wanted to chase again, but was dragged by Tang Hao.
Two large ships at sea have already begun to scuffle. The pirate ship hastily responded to the battle, fell into the wind, and before long it was full of sails and fled in disarray.
The big ship approached the coast, and someone began to go ashore.
Tang Hao pulled the girl and wanted to run, but the girl pulled him, pointing at the people on the beach and screaming excitedly.
Tang Hao saw clearly, the person who came, the same as the girl's outfit, it seemed that his own person came.
Ashore was a small detachment of more than twenty people, young men of one color, armed with waist knives and armed with firearms.
The girl pulled Tang Hao to greet her. As soon as the leading man came up, he immediately led a group of people to bow their heads and salute.
The girl said something, but everyone refused to look up. Tang Hao glanced at the large white and lines that the girl leaked out, couldn't help but tighten his throat, pointed to his heart, and took off his gown
down and handed it to her.
The girl was handsome with a little heroism, and when she understood, her little face turned red, and she hurriedly put on Tang Hao's coat.
Only then did everyone raise their heads, they were all dark with joy, but when they looked at the girl and at Tang Hao, their eyes were a little weird.
The girl pulled Tang Hao and got on the big boat with everyone.
A tall old man with a white beard, who was already waiting on the deck, saw the girl come back, and the old man saved the girl, and his excited expression was overflowing.
Tang Hao glanced at the big ship, this is also a wooden sailing ship, or a primitive sailing ship one or two hundred years ago, on both sides of the ship, there are several cannons, and at a glance at the casting process, it is not high, and the same firearms used by sailors are still at the level of more than a century ago.
Who are these people, Tang Hao couldn't help but become even more curious.
The girl is a resident of Lehman Island, to be precise, a princess of the Lehman Kingdom on Lehman Island, named Heather. And the tall and vicissitudes of life of the white-bearded old man is none other than her father, the king of the Lehman Kingdom.
After a simple exchange, Tang Hao was not only a little surprised, according to what they said, this Lehman Kingdom was actually a descendant of the Atlantean civilization! (Note: Atlantis, a prehistoric civilization that mysteriously disappeared in legend, is highly developed, located on the island of the Atlantic Ocean near Europe to the Strait of Gibraltar, and the earliest recorded description appears in the ancient Greek philosopher Plato's book "Dialogues", which is said to have been destroyed by the prehistoric flood in 10,000 BC, and its inhabitants call themselves the children of the sea)
At the strong invitation of Princess Heather and the old king, Tang Hao had no choice but to take Qin Run and Jiang Guilan to board the big ship and go to Lehman Island. The trio aroused great interest among the inhabitants of the ship. Princess Heather, in particular, looked left and right at the dress of the two girls, with curiosity and envy in her expression.
Lehman Island is located in the depths of the ocean, the royal customs are simple, the king of the previous generation, but also once left the island, in the civilized society traveled and studied, so the old king and princess will have some common language of the outside world, which just eliminates the communication barrier between several people.
Tang Hao's sacrifice to save him won the warm gratitude of the old king and the residents. That night, people sang and danced and held a grand bonfire to welcome them.
Tang Hao and the two daughters sat under the king, full of wine and food, sitting there, looking at the residents dancing around the bonfire, and for a while they couldn't believe that they had escaped the isolated life on a desert island like this.
"Come and dance?" Princess Heather, who was beside the king, suddenly walked over and said to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao waved his hand. The princess drank a lot of wine, her little face flushed, smiled, and turned and rushed into the dancing crowd.
There was a burst of cheers around the campfire. The princess is at a young age, extremely beautiful, and is the pearl of the kingdom, especially after drinking a lot of wine, her eyes are flowing, and she is dancing, and her eyes look at Tang Hao from time to time while dancing.
"This princess is interesting to you," Qin Run said, with a hint of sourness.
"What are you talking about," Tang Hao was a little embarrassed. However, looking at the princess who was held by the stars, her hair was like a waterfall and her appearance was gorgeous, few men could resist such a temptation.
"A woman's intuition is very accurate," Qin Run said with a glance at him.
Fertility is encouraged on Lehman Island, so polygamy is allowed.
"Let's think about how to get out of here," Tang Hao retracted his thoughts.
The Old Kingdom has promised to send a ship to bring them back to civilization at a later date. But when the old king promised, he had doubts in his heart.
The One-Eyed Pirates are the most ferocious of the high seas, they have long coveted Lehman Island and want to take it for themselves, and now they have formed a deep hatred, and they will definitely take revenge in the future.
The pirate weapons are not far behind, and they also have extremely powerful "small cannons" (they don't know that it is a Bartley heavy sniper). The old king was inevitably worried.
Deep in the open sea, a hidden island harbor.
The six-masted galleon gathered its sails and anchored in a secluded harbor. In several caves on the island, the lights are bright and the people are noisy. This is the stronghold of the one-eyed pirates, and the pirates who have returned from defeat are indulging in wine.
The one-eyed pirate sat on the sealskin throne with a displeased expression. On this trip, the beautiful little princess of Lehman Island was not caught, and more than a dozen people were damaged, and the losses were heavy.
The man using the Bartlet sniper sat next to him. The man was dressed in a hunting suit, which was noticeably different from the ragged pirates. He looked playfully at the indulgent pirates below, with a hint of disdain and pity.
The man was none other than the Assassin of the Sumerian island nation.
At the beginning, after completing the mission of the Sumerian island country, he received the task of going to the Xia country, although he pretended to be a security guard, first killed the Wang president of the Yifeng Group in the villa, and successfully framed Tang Hao, but he failed to catch Tang Hao and let him escape calmly.
This was the first time in his mission career that he had missed, and naturally, he did not get the $2 million in compensation. But unexpectedly, the party behind the scenes actually raised the reward to five million US dollars, and asked him to continue tracking until Tang Hao was killed.
For the sake of money, but also for the sake of reputation, he had to take it, looking for a needle in a haystack all the way, and with the assistance of the global intelligence network behind the scenes, he actually tracked it all the way here, bought off the one-eyed pirate, and searched at sea.
It wasn't until the one-eyed pirate caught Princess Heather that he unexpectedly found Tang Hao.
It's a pity that the timely rescue of the Lehman Kingdom made them fall short.
"Now, I want $200,000, and I won't do anything less." The one-eyed pirate hummed, "I've already lost a dozen brothers, and if you want me to go to Lehman Island, at least 200,000." ”
"Come on, attacking Lehman Island has been your goal all along, but it's not all about helping me," the man said, "We are helping each other, or rather, I am helping you, 100,000 is already too much." As he spoke, he took the heavy sniper next to him and began to wipe it.
"Don't forget, here I am!" The one-eyed pirate said angrily, "If you want Lao Tzu to work, you have to listen to me!" ”
The man's face was gloomy, and at this time, the satellite phone on his body rang, and the man picked up the phone and walked out.
"In three days, we must kill that boy," the woman's voice seemed to come from the distant sky, still mechanical, but with an indescribable alternative temptation, "we can pay eight million dollars."
"You're rarely so generous,"
The man was very curious, that kid, what kind of important person is that kid, who can make the intelligence agencies of the United States repeatedly increase the weight and offer such a sky-high price. He wouldn't ask, though.
He just does what he is told, and as a killer, it is an extremely dangerous thing to ask the reason.
Back in the cave, the pirates were shouting around several young and beautiful women.
They all came in, blonde, red, white and black, all young and beautiful women, a few naked, no one on their bodies, two in tattered bikinis, and a few in skirts, etc., but they had all been torn into one by one, looming, and another impact.
"Whichever one you like, play with it," the one-eyed pirate grinned rudely, gesturing at the women on the ground.
Those who can go to the high seas to have fun are the yachts of the rich, and the women they bring are naturally young and beautiful, and the other few who come from the freighter are also young women who want to go overseas to pan for gold.
The man glanced at it, and his expression was invisible. "Two hundred thousand, deal," he said, "but I want you to go now......"
Lehman Island, the inner court of the royal palace.
The tall and resolute old king looked at Tang Hao for a long time, and finally said, "In three days, I will send a ship to send you to the nearest mainland, but I have one condition. ”
The old king stroked the long hair of Princess Heather beside him, "I'm just this one daughter, I want you to take her with me,"
"Why, Father, I won't leave you!" Heather said. Although he had always been curious about the outside world, she also vaguely sensed the old king's worries.
"We are descendants of Atlantis," the old king sighed, "and it seems to be our destiny to disappear from the river of mankind...... This day is coming soon, and I only hope that you can live happily instead of walking into the grave of the ocean with me, a dying man......"
"Father......" Large tears rolled down Heather's eyes.
"Are you worried about pirates?" Tang Hao said.
Qin Run and Jiang Guilan next to him did not make a sound. For them, everything that happened in front of them, the ancient kingdom, the princesses, the pirates, the vanished civilization, made them feel a dream-like illusion, and they had never been exposed to these things in their previous lives.
"Father, I will stay, fight with you, and defend our kingdom!"
The king shook his head, "Actually, I already know where there is still a kingdom, we are just a small remnant tribe in the sea, and we have worked hard for generations to survive until today, even if there are no pirates, we will not have a great future." ”
Tang Hao wanted to say, then why not take the initiative to integrate into civilized society. When I think that this place is thousands of miles away from the outside civilization, it is a small island in the boundless ocean, and how they can integrate it seems unrealistic.
"In three days, I'll send you away." The old king said, stretched out his hand to stop his daughter, and said, "I have made up my mind, and if you stay, it will only affect my preparation for war, and only increase my worries." ”
The feast outside has come to an end. One by one, the joyous people were already overwhelmed by the strength of the wine, and fell asleep on the ground. If there are no pirates, there is no strife, and it is also happy to live carefree like this.
