"That...... Didn't Chen Jiao ask you to give me something to say when she left?" Slightly clumsily manipulating the rudder, Han Xiao asked with a strange expression.

Zhao Gangdan glanced at him, sneered, and said, "You two are not annoying, obviously you don't have any feelings, why do you really seem to value the name of that fiancé." When you disappeared, she was in a mess all day long, and now you look like you are twisting and twisting, not disgusting. ”

"I just care about my crew!" Han Xiao argued in a loud voice.

"Bai Yi is also a crew member, and she is still the best gunner on our ship, and I haven't seen you care about her. Zhao Gangdan continued to tease.

"Ahem, why didn't I ask, didn't I ask about Bai Yi's situation in the first sentence?"

"Yes, I'm blind, I didn't hear you. ”

"What nonsense, what did Chen Jiao say when she left. Han Xiao scolded angrily.

Zhao Gangdan laughed and said, "When she left, she only said that you were welcome to go to the imperial capital to play with her." ”

"That's it?"

"Ah, what else can you say?

Han Xiao decided not to pay attention to Zhao Gangdan, the bastard.

What made Han Xiao feel strange was that although their initial voyage was indeed to the open sea, they began to travel to the inland sea again only three days later, and in the end, what made Han Xiao even more puzzled was that from the sea chart, they were actually constantly moving towards Donglai Kingdom.

"Are you sure we didn't make a mistake?" Han Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, I can still remember the way home?"

"But we're going to Donglai, right?"

"That's right. Zhao Gangdan nodded, then looked at the jade slip in Han Xiao's hand, smacked his lips and said: "I have to say, you kid really met a nobleman, even this kind of sea chart that includes the entire Huating Empire, and even all the states can be obtained, worthy of being the young master in the imperial capital." ”

"I've met a noble guy who's just going to sea to be a pirate. ”

"What?" Zhao Gangdan looked at Han Xiao with some surprise.

"Nothing. Han Xiao waved his hand, he didn't plan to say too much about Pang Ying and the Huating Empire.

The sea ship finally stopped on the coastline of Donglai Kingdom, Han Xiao thought that even if he arrived in Donglai Kingdom, he would definitely go to some more mysterious places, but he didn't expect that in the end, they stopped in the harbor of Donglai Country in the most formal way, and handed over some spirit stones!

"I'm more and more skeptical of the veracity of the tribe you're talking about. Han Xiao said with a gloomy face.

Zhao Gangdan picked up the storage bag, smiled and said: "What do you know, this is called Da Yin Yu City, I didn't tell you what unknown place the tribe is in at the beginning." After slapping, Zhao Gangdan turned his head and pointed at Qingpu with a little fear, and said, "How do you plan to place this thing?"

Hearing Zhao Gangdan's words, Han Xiao reacted to Qingpu's storage, Qingpu has been resting all the way, and the big eyes that are always glowing are always closed, although they haven't been together for a long time, Han Xiao has long been accustomed to this big guy by his side, so that after he slept for a long time, Han Xiao almost forgot about this guy's storage.

"You say, if you let Qingpu go directly to the city, won't it be too popular?" Han Xiao asked with a weak look at Zhao Gangdan.

Zhao Gangdan's eyes squinted, and he said, "What do you say? There is no need to talk about entering the city with this thing, as long as you appear at the port, you can recruit all the guards here." Even if not everyone could recognize him as an ancient holy beast, at least the fierce beast aura on his body was still very strong. ”

"Is it heavy? I feel okay. Han Xiao said weakly.

Zhao Gangdan also chose to ignore Han Xiao's eyes and nonsense, and then he jumped off the boat directly, and Han Xiao saw that he casually took out a large number of spirit stones from the storage bag and stuffed them directly to a person, and then that person turned his head and began to run towards the city, and even forgot to lead a riding beast.

"What is that person doing?" asked Han Xiao, pointing at him.

"Go back and report to me, just say I'm back, let the family pick me up, and send a big car by the way. Zhao Gangdan said casually.

"Report the news, report the news, what is that man doing so crazy. Han Xiao was a little puzzled.

Zhao Gangdan smiled and said, "For a monk who has been recultivated in the Bone Casting Realm, he suddenly received ten top-grade spirit stones just to ask him to go back and report a message, and then as long as he comes back quickly enough, there will be another ten, do you think he will run faster?"

"I didn't expect your kid to wear shabby, but he was generous. Han Xiao said in a strange way, he had suffered from not having spirit stones, and he only got 10,000 low-grade spirit stones when he first started. As a result, Zhao Gangdan now just gave ten top-grade spirit stones just to ask people to report a letter, and one top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a thousand low-grade spirit stones, if you want to say that this guy is not a loser, Han Xiao doesn't believe anything.

Before Han Xiao could sigh for long, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a commotion in the crowd in the distance, and then he saw a big car rushing in from a distance. Of course, rather than saying that it was a big car, Han Xiao preferred to believe that it was a small palace floating on the road.

"That's the big car you are talking about?" Han Xiao asked with some surprise.

Seeing Han Xiao's expression, Zhao Gangdan's face showed a somewhat proud look, and said, "This is Qinglinlin, the car that my Zhao family uses to welcome the most distinguished guests." How's that, magnificent. ”

"Haha, magnificent, magnificent. Han Xiao laughed, rubbed his hands and said, "Don't be so polite, I'm the most distinguished guest." ”

Zhao Gangdan stretched out his hand to stop Han Xiao, and said with a dry smile: "Aren't you quite conscious, then what are you running around." As he spoke, Zhao Gangdan began to arrange, and then Han Xiao watched him neatly stack hundreds of gangplanks between the port and the sea boat, and used the gangplanks to build a wide road, and even thoughtfully erected shelves around and lowered thick curtains.

It didn't take long for Han Xiao to see that after Zhao Gangdan, a corridor was actually created between their ship and the port.

"What are you doing in a daze, wake up Qingpu and let him get in the car. Zhao Gangdan pushed Han Xiao dissatisfiedly.

In this way, they used such a tricky method to the extreme, and used a more coquettish car to properly send Qingpu to Zhao Gangdan's home.

When he arrived at Zhao Gangdan's house, Han Xiao understood why this guy would make such an exaggerated move. Compared with the Zhao family's mansion, Han Xiao only felt that the big car that Zhao Gangdan called and the qiē he made at the port were really just a small thing.

"This is your home?" asked Han Xiao with some uncertainty.

"Haha, yes, this is my home. Zhao Gangdan nodded.

"This ......" Han Xiao smacked his lips, smiled again and said, "Isn't this a little bigger?"

"Yes, it's really big, this place occupies a lot of Donglai City, and the royal family of Donglai Country has also raised opinions on this. Zhao Gangdan said.

"Then, the royal family is dissatisfied with your approach, and you still go your own way?" Han Xiao felt a little strange.

"And then, our family promised to pay an extra 10% of the tax every year, and the royal family shut up. Zhao Gangdan said indifferently: "Besides, didn't our Zhao family build a city within a city in Donglai City, but we didn't exceed the system, the city wall is three feet shorter than the inner wall of Donglai City, and the entire Zhao Mansion is three points smaller than the palace, not to miss it." ”

Han Xiao was completely out of temper by Zhao Gangdan's tone, in fact, before traveling with Zhao Gangdan, Han Xiao had imagined many situations about the appearance of the tribe, but in his imagination, each of them should be in that antique state, and no matter how bad it is, it should be the living state of those natives in the West Pole Plain. As a result, I didn't expect that what I thought was completely inconsistent with reality, where is this tribe, this is simply a super family that is even bigger than the Han family.

Zhao Gangdan's home is a city within a city, as Zhao Gangdan said, the city wall is indeed a little shorter than the inner city wall, and the size is smaller than the palace, but to build such a city within a city in the city of a dignified country, such a nondescript move has been made, which makes Han Xiao feel very curious.

"Your Zhao family is also a big family in Donglai Kingdom, and you can make trembling here by stomping your feet. Following Zhao Gangdan into the Zhao Mansion, that is, when he walked into the city, Han Xiao lowered his head and asked.

Zhao Gangdan shook his head and said, "The reason why our Zhao family has such a big stall has not been killed is because we don't interfere in the politics of Donglai Kingdom at all, let alone in the war. We only do business, and only talk about spirit stones with outsiders, this is the rule left by our ancestors, and this rule of our ancestors is indeed very good, our people have lived very well for thousands of years, and even the royal family of Donglai has changed three or four waves, and we are still steadily parked in Donglai City. ”

Zhao Gangdan's words Han Xiao couldn't refute anything for a long time, this sentence sounded like a joke, but it seemed to be full of truth, hearing this, Han Xiao suddenly thought about the old man in the family who had told him a lot before leaving, and he suddenly wanted to introduce the Zhao family's living state to the ancestor. But soon Han Xiao shook his head, he didn't know how the ancestor of the Zhao family set such family rules back then, but the Han family couldn't do this no matter what.

The Han family has been too deep in the Tianning Kingdom, so there will be a little wind and grass to fight all the grass and trees, if you want to completely withdraw now, the only end is for the enemy to find an opportunity to kill directly.

Following Zhao Gangdan walking in Zhao's mansion, Han Xiao gradually gained a more comprehensive understanding of this city within a city. This small city, which occupies a percent of the land of Donglai City, is not only inhabited by the Zhao family, but there are at least hundreds of families living in this city, in fact, it is not very accurate to say that this is the Zhao Mansion.

"It's just because my Zhao family is responsible for all the expenses of the situation in this city, so this city is called Zhao Mansion. Zhao Gangdan answered Han Xiao's doubts.

Han Xiao nodded thoughtfully, but immediately realized: "How rich is your Zhao family, and can afford to support so many people?"

followed Zhao Gangdan in the city for a while, and from Zhao Gangdan's introduction, Han Xiao learned that many of the hundreds of families were big clans, plus the Zhao family, although the strongest families did not participate in the war in Donglai Kingdom, but for their own safety, there were still a large number of monks in the city. There are now 70,000 inhabitants of the city, including a staggering 10,000 monks. One of the seven people was a monk, and this comparison surprised Han Xiao even more. But it is precisely because of this that Han Xiao has become more curious about the Zhao family's financial resources.

You must know that although the Han family is also a big family, and if there is really a war, the Han family will definitely be able to mobilize no less than 10,000 monks, but more than seventy percent of those monks are supported by the royal family, and they only enjoy the right to command. If the Han family was allowed to support 10,000 monks, Han Xiao really didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

Looking at Han Xiao who was surprised, Zhao Gangdan just smiled faintly and said, "Don't panic too much, our Zhao family has been good at business since our ancestors, and we have naturally accumulated a lot of wealth after years of business. Of course, there is also a more important point, after all, we are from a tribe, and many times with the rules of mutual support between tribal members, we can often find many rare treasures and sell them. Let's give you an account, if it weren't for the worry of the tree, it would not be a problem for our Zhao family to raise the entire Donglai City. ”

"How is this possible, can you really be rich and rival the country?" Han Xiao was really a little unsettled now.

Zhao Gangdan smiled and didn't explain anything more, just said lightly: "When your elders finish talking and know the true details of our tribe, you will know if I am bragging." ”

At this time, Han Xiao suddenly realized that he followed Zhao Gangdan to Donglai Country not to see how their Zhao family was extremely rich, but to really understand the so-called tribal secrets. It was all because the shock caused by this city within a city was so great that Han Xiao couldn't think of any connection to the word "tribe" here.

"Although this city is not large, it is divided into inner and outer cities. The people living in the outer city are the most ordinary people, and they don't have too obvious bloodline awakening, so they belong to the outermost periphery, of course, it can't be said that they are not strong, and there are strong people in the outermost periphery, but every qiē in the tribe is dominated by bloodline. As long as there is a sign of special bloodline awakening, they will be placed in the inner city, but the inner city and the outer city are not completely isolated, and the clansmen in the inner city are more only cultivating here, and even if they like it, they can also pass on their own cultivation techniques, we don't care about these. While walking towards the inner city, Zhao Gangdan introduced the situation here to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao listened very carefully, and the more he walked into the inner city, the more Han Xiao felt that there seemed to be a faint power fluctuating in his body. But he couldn't tell what it was, but it didn't feel normal.

"The real core people, that is, the people who can really be called tribal members, will live in the core area, and the core area is completely isolated from the inner city and the outer city, which means that people in the core area cannot communicate with people outside except for necessary communication. However, as long as one's strength reaches the realm of Tongxuan and can truly take responsibility for one's own actions, there is no limit to where one wants to live. Zhao Gangdan began to take Han Xiao into the core area, and also introduced more information about the situation here by the way.

"Only through the Xuan Realm can be regarded as being responsible for one's own actions...... Han Xiao suddenly felt that he wanted to vomit blood.

Finally walked with Zhao Gangdan to a very quiet courtyard door, Zhao Gangdan put his hands behind his back, and said with a rare serious expression: "When you go here, you will encounter some strange things first, but don't be nervous, this is just a kind of exploration of your bloodline ability, which belongs to the tradition of our tribe, and will not hurt you." ”

"What's the probe?"

"You'll know when you go in. Zhao Gangdan said with a smile.

It's already here, and Han Xiao doesn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he doesn't want to go directly to the courtyard. When Han Xiao was about to walk in, he heard Zhao Gangdan's voice again in a trance: "Our Zhao family is really rich, and even there have been rumors in the family that when our ancestors fought in ancient times, they once supported the people of a county, and the consumption of millions of monks, this is the glory of our family and the glory of the tribe, of course, it will also be the glory of you from now on." ”

Han Xiao's brain began to be a little in a trance, and he wanted to turn around and ask Zhao Gangdan why he suddenly said such a thing, but before he could turn around, his brain suddenly buzzed as if it was about to crack, which suddenly made Han Xiao's whole person become nervous.

Han Xiao walked towards the courtyard step by step, the sudden change in his body just now made him nervous, but what made him extremely puzzled was that after walking into the courtyard, nothing unusual happened, and even when he turned around, he saw Zhao Gangdan standing outside the courtyard.

At this moment, Zhao Gangdan's face was also full of surprise, and he seemed to be extremely shocked that Han Xiao could still turn around and find himself accurately.

"Can he still see me?" Zhao Gangdan said to himself.

"Yes, I can still see you. Not far away, Han Xiao said in a firm tone.

At this time, Zhao Gangdan also began to be uncalm, and looked at Han Xiao with a big eye and a small look and said: "How is it possible, didn't you fall into a maze when you first walked into the Holy Land, could it be that the Great Elder forgot to open the phantom array? Aren't you a member of the tribe?" Thinking of this, Zhao Gangdan's two eyes widened, and his face instantly became wonderful.

But as soon as Zhao Gangdan finished speaking, he saw that Han Xiao's body suddenly changed, and his right arm instantly swelled and turned into a huge vine. It's just that the vine seems to have become more vivid, and now it looks as if it has completely turned into a dragon. It's just that this "dragon" seems to be very angry now, and it doesn't really grow eyes, but it seems to be staring at somewhere.

Zhao Gangdan was speechless in surprise, at this time Han Xiao was also puzzled, this time the change of the Heavenly Demon Arm was not from Han Xiao's instructions, it was completely the change of the arm itself.

Han Xiao looked suspiciously in the direction facing the vines, and vaguely he already felt that there seemed to be someone inside.

But in the end, what Han Xiao saw was a dog coming out.
