Chapter 558: Penglai is suspicious
Zhao Changhe cautiously glanced at Sanniang's expression.
Sanniang didn't show any special performance, her beautiful eyes glanced at the other party's face, and then looked around, looking as usual.
Zhao Changhe also breathed a sigh of relief, and stood behind Lai Qi with Sanniang left and right, watching them talk.
First of all, let's see if Lai Qi will sell people...... He is honest on the ship, but not necessarily when he has a backer
I really listened to them, it depends on what he thinks.
Lai Qi really didn't think about selling them, he actually vaguely guessed that the man and woman might not be here to help fight pirates, and even more
may be aimed at Penglai, and it is a bit obvious from the performance of following in disguise. However, everyone is from different countries, even if this pair of men and women is not good for Penglai, it is not a good thing.
Who is impatient to really work together to suppress the bandits? Pirates don't have the interest in destroying people's countries, but the Penglai Navy is not easy to say, who is more stupid than whom.
He smiled and raised his wine glass in salute: "I haven't seen you for many years, I have gray hair, Haishuai seems to have not changed from a few years ago, it seems that the strong people who have achieved cultivation are really different from ordinary people like us." ”
Hai Changkong said with a smile: "General Lai can't be said to be an ordinary person, the entrance is ninefold, even if it is placed in the Xia Kingdom, it is also a hero." ”
Lai Qi smiled. The significant difference between the people of Penglai and other countries on the sea is that other people on the sea were out of the sea in different historical periods in the early years, and many people didn't even know what the Xia Kingdom was.
Only the people of Penglai must call it summer, and in the early years, it was a little hateful, but after so many years, it has become a kind of superiority of "we are more expert in things on the shore" and "we have seen more than you".
Lai Qi was too lazy to talk about this, and went straight to the point: "This time to suppress bandits, does Hai Shuai need to wait for all countries to arrive before discussing, or can he say a few words to Lai Mou now?"
"It doesn't hurt to talk about it first." Hai Changkong said: "This joint suppression of bandits, originally the suppression of bandits was just incidental. ”
Lai Qi was stunned: "What do you say?" Poseidon preached, just let everyone come to suppress bandits.
Hai Changkong smiled: "The sea god asked everyone to suppress the bandits, and everyone has their own thoughts, whether they are really bandits or come to shop, no one knows." How to manage the allies and command the battle situation, such as an arm and a finger, the sea god will not interfere, of course, it is the commander's own decision. ”
Lai Qi's expression changed slightly.
It's not a hint, it's just an explicit.
Everyone has their own thoughts, some people come to suppress bandits, some people come to travel, and of course, some people can also take this opportunity to unify the East China Sea. That's what it means, right?
Hai Changkong is nakedly saying, I want to co-opt you, and I want to make the capital of Java an island under Penglai's rule!
Because of the "oracle", all countries have worked very hard to send troops out, and the basic main force is here. As long as the main force is swallowed, play it directly, and there is no need to struggle.
This really doesn't need to wait for someone to talk about it, just say it one by one, and just beat them all.
Lai Qi knew that he couldn't even have the slightest resistance, and Penglai wanted to take him in like a play.
But in fact, this kind of thing is not that everyone has not considered it, Lai Qi is not false, and he has fixed his mind: "Penglai really wants to unify the East China Sea, so he is not afraid that the sea god will be jealous?"
The real emergence of a unified and powerful maritime empire will inevitably face a problem: the struggle between divine power and monarchy, all countries worship the god of the sea, but the monarchy is scattered in so many countries, no monarch can challenge the god of the sea, once the situation is different.
Now they're not afraid? Dare to openly provoke the authority of the Poseidon?
In the past few years, Penglai's strength has crushed all countries, but he has never dared to do anything to destroy the country, which is the main reason.
In addition, countries have long distances, and they have to sail for a month or two to reach another country at every turn, and it is unknown how much significance this kind of "annihilation" is, and there is a high probability that the country will be autonomous as it is. Is Hai Pinglan crazy, why do you want to do this kind of thing that basically has no benefit but has to provoke the sea god?
Hai Changkong smiled and said, "Your Majesty's intentions, you don't need to guess more...... What's more, this time it was the Poseidon who asked everyone to send troops, why don't you think this is the Poseidon acquiescing? ”
Lai Qi frowned tightly, and only said after a while: "Can you allow me to think about it for one night?" ”
Hai Changkong waved his hand very happily: "Of course, we don't rely on coercion, we convince people with virtue, and convince people with virtue." Come on, send General Lai to rest, and arrange the most beautiful girl. ”
The girl doesn't need it, and Lai also needs to discuss with the deputy generals.
Hai Changkong didn't insist, and got up happily to see Lai Qi leave.
Lai Qi returned to the guest house with a heavy heart, in fact, there was nothing to think about, he planned to ask the opinion of the "Venerable": "Venerable ......"
Sanniang waved her hand, listened carefully for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No eavesdropping." ”
Lai Qi said: "What do they think, I really can't understand Lai." ”
Sanniang and Zhao Changhe glanced at each other, also confused. On the surface, it is only possible that Hai Pinglan is really turning his face with the sea god, and it is difficult to find a second explanation.
The so-called destruction of the country has no substantive significance, in fact, there is.
The power of the sea god is revived, and it is now known that a large part of it is the power of faith, if it is a competition in this regard, then it doesn't matter if there is no interest in destroying the country, as long as the faith is destroyed, forced conversion and the like, the sea god can be weaker.
It's no wonder why Hai Pinglan dares to do such an obvious thing, even if the sea god can't beat Xia Longyuan, it's not easy to beat you Hai Pinglan? You provoked so directly, don't you want to die?
It can't be that this is really the tacit approval of the sea god himself, right?
Zhao Changhe said categorically: "I still suggest eavesdropping...... This is also the first time that they have a showdown with a small country, and when we leave, they will definitely discuss it internally, and this can hear the true meaning. ”
Sanniang didn't say a word, the two disappeared directly into the night, and after a while, they reappeared in the restaurant just now, fell on the top silently, and took off a small piece of tile to look inside.
Hai Changkong was still having a banquet with his subordinates, and sure enough, what he said was not the same as just now, and his domineering appearance was gone, but he was a little worried: "Lai Qi is not a very tough person, this performance has impressed Ben Shuai, maybe he has another reason......
The general on the side persuaded: "The marshal does not need to be so cautious. Java is a small role. ”
Hai Changkong sighed: "You don't know...... News came from the pirate's side that the three masters had returned, do you know what this means?
The generals looked at each other, and most of them really didn't know. There are only a few veterans who know the meaning, and they all lowered their voices and asked, "Really?"
"Really. Previously, the Sea Emperor abruptly used the Sea Clan to attack the pirates, and there was a woman who was very strong in that battle, so it should be.
There was some commotion in the know: "She's really back....at this moment!"
Hai Changkong's tiger eyes swept over everyone, took in his expressions, and said coldly: "So this battle is not allowed to be defeated, and any slight changes, this commander cannot be negligent." ”
She ...... What strength? Someone asked cautiously.
"It's about the same as Ben Shuai." Hai Changkong said lightly: "In short, it's not an immortal body, when the time comes, I will see it, no matter the cost, I will kill it."
"Then since ..... have a detailed work, where is their new base, and they don't necessarily need to look for it again?
"Of course, that's for the nations, so that the news doesn't leak to the pirates, and the actual commander always knows where they are.
Everyone sighed and toasted: "He is worthy of being a handsome, and he is strategizing, and it is not difficult at all." ”
Hai Changkong did not refuse to drink, and the atmosphere of the banquet became noisy, as if the solemnity just now was just a gust of wind, and no one cared.
Seeing that the wine was hot, a general staggered up and smiled: "I'll go and relieve myself." ”
He staggered out of the backyard, but instead of going to the toilet, he quickly summoned his own relatives: "Quick, you go......
"Where are you going?" The general turned his head in shock, and saw Hai Changkong standing behind him with a smile on his face.
He broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and said with a smile: "The young general is not strong enough to drink, let the relatives go and buy some hangover medicine........
Zhao Changhe and Sanniang were ready to surprise and save people almost at the same time.
"Oh, it's okay, Ben Shuai has medicine here, just say anything directly in the future." To the surprise of the two, Hai Changkong didn't pay attention to him at all.
Ran affectionately patted the general's shoulder, and returned to the hall with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
Sanniang's eyes widened, a little shocked.
In this scene just now, it should be that the general is in Litong pirates, informing them that the place is exposed, and retreat quickly. And Hai Changkong followed him out clearly and secretly, and he didn't say anything about it, just interrupted his ventilation message.
Shouldn't this be taken right away?
Even the so-called knowing where the pirates are is just fishing, waiting for the traitor to pass on to the pirates, and sending someone to follow them, then they can really find out where the pirates are.
That's the conventional understanding.
But what is Hai Changkong doing? Is the turn of the way around protecting the general?
