Chapter 306: Allies and Enemies
"The Navy's warship?" Hearing this, Han Xiao's brows immediately furrowed, and so did everyone around him. Strictly speaking, except for Su Yue, who is not a real pirate, the rest of the people are actually pirates, and even the fat boss who is now trembling with fear is actually a pirate.
Because in the eyes of the current imperial navy leaders, as long as they do not submit to the Huating Empire, they are all pirates.
"Has Kongming Island experienced a frontal attack by the Navy before?" Han Xiao asked with some uncertainty, he didn't have too many memories of this place.
The fat shopkeeper couldn't count on it at all, but the guy on the side made up his mind and said: "No, not once, the Imperial Navy has never even penetrated so deep into the Black Cliff Sea." ”
Hearing the guy say the word "deep", Han Xiao couldn't help but glance at him with some surprise, but in the end, his thoughts were immediately placed on the warship outside. When he heard the news, a very strange idea had already sprung up in his heart, and he even agreed with this more absurd idea of his own. Forcibly pressing down the strange thought in his heart, Han Xiao immediately began to analyze the current situation.
He already had some impressions before he asked the guy, although in the past thirteen years, he had been fighting with the Scythe Pirate Regiment, and even an island of the level of Kongming Island did not dare to come over to beg for food. But Han Xiao still knows some of the situation in the Black Cliff Sea area.
What this guy said is not false, although the Huating Empire now has more powerful warships and spirit cannons, but the Huating Empire is facing a huge problem, that is, the vast majority of naval monks are still native monks of the Huating Empire. Although the Western Haoqiang defeated Huating through strong strength and means, it did not achieve conquest in the real sense, and even now there are rebels in the interior of the Huating Empire, but they are suppressed very miserably, so more people choose to accumulate strength at sea.
It is precisely because the naval monks under his command are still Huating people after all, and it is naturally difficult to guarantee that they will do their best to send them across the ocean to attack the Black Cliff Sea. First of all, if you want to fight from the inland of the Huating Empire to the Black Cliff Sea area, the distance is too far, and the danger level is still very high. The second nature is that there are still more people in the Imperial Navy who are obedient to the rule of the West, and it is a ridiculous thing to expect them to do their best in the war against their compatriots.
All of these are the reasons why it is impossible for the Imperial Navy to attack the Black Cliff Sea in the open ocean. However, under the obstacles of such difficult conditions, the warships of the Imperial Navy still appeared in the Black Cliff Sea, and they also appeared on Kongming Island very accurately, especially just a few hours after Han Xiao appeared here. Thinking of these situations, Han Xiao couldn't help but wonder if these imperial navies were really coming for themselves.
"How far is the navy warship from Kongming Island?" asked Han Xiao again.
"Three hundred miles. The guy said right away.
"So far?" Han Xiaoyi frowned.
"Kongming Island has also left a sentry post in the surrounding seas. This time, without waiting for the guy to answer, Sun Baoxi reminded on the side.
Han Xiao nodded, and then slowly sat back on the chair, the guy saw that the atmosphere in the room was too depressing, and after asking for advice, he helped the fat boss and slowly retreated.
"What now?" As soon as the man and the shopkeeper left, Hammer said in a loud voice, "Let's go, don't get involved in this kind of mess." ”
"Let's go?" Han Xiao suddenly sneered: "I still want to leave now, isn't it too optimistic." ”
"What do you mean?" Iron Hammer looked at Han Xiao puzzled, including Chu Xunzhi, and they also looked at Han Xiao in puzzlement.
"If I'm not mistaken, these people must have come to me. Han Xiao knocked his fingers on the table and said lightly.
"Impossible. Hammer said with some incomprehension.
Sun Baoxi walked up, frowned and said, "Brother Han is not too sensitive, how can this kind of thing happen." ”
As for Chu Xunzhi on the side, he was now sneering, in his opinion, this kind of thing was absolutely impossible. Although he had seen Han Xiao's performance before, and he also knew from these people what Han Xiao had done more than ten years ago, at this time, it was impossible for the Imperial Navy to send the navy to Kongming Island to conquer Han Xiao for this trivial matter. What's more, the news of Han Xiao's appearance on Kongming Island had only spread for a few hours at most, could it be that the Imperial Navy had been patrolling the Black Cliff Sea until it received the news, and then it was killed immediately?
Thinking of this, Chu Xunzhi even subconsciously wanted to say something ridiculous.
"Mrs. Sun, if you have nothing to do, you'd better go first. Thinking of the current situation, Han Xiao suddenly spoke.
Hearing Han Xiao's words, Sun Baoxi's heart tightened at first, and then looked at the old lady nervously. At this time, Sun Baoxi herself wanted to stay on Kongming Island, in fact, her thoughts were also very direct, it was impossible for those imperial navies to come to conquer Han Xiao, and at this time, she must not lose the opportunity to contact Han Xiao. The other point is that even if those imperial navies came to conquer Han Xiao, so what. With so many pirates on the huge island of Kongming, could it be true that they would watch the warships of the Imperial Navy show off their might here?
Sun Huaipei was really silent, and after a while, she slowly spoke: "Okay, if it's okay, let's go first." ”
"Madam!" Sun Baoxi suddenly shouted, and even said with a little anger: "How can I leave now?"
"What's the matter, are you planning to take charge of the Sun family for me now?" Seeing Sun Baoxi's appearance, Sun Huaipei also said in a cold voice. When this sentence was spoken, Sun Baoxi didn't dare to say anything more. After all, the Sun family is inherited in the most traditional way, and although Sun Baoxi disagrees with many of Sun Huaipei's decisions, he can only obey.
Seeing Sun Baoxi looking at him apologetically, Han Xiao waved his hand very casually and said, "That's very good, you guys go first, so as not to cause more trouble later." Sun Baoxi wanted to speak and stopped, but after seeing Sun Huaipei's face, he could only bite his lip and leave with a group of clansmen.
Seeing Sun Huaipei's resolute departure, Han Xiao finally couldn't help but shake his head slightly. If the Sun family continues to let this old lady take charge, it is very likely that it will even be annihilated in the world in the future. A family that was not very strong in the first place, and did not want to unite more forces in such a big disaster, but blindly thought about escaping from the world and protecting itself. Such short-sightedness really made Han Xiao wonder how Sun Huaipei had gained a foothold in the imperial capital in the first place.
Finally, when the Sun family was about to leave, Han Xiao suddenly spoke: "By the way, if possible, it's best to find those people from the Zhao family, it's best to be with the monks of the tribe at this time." ”
Sun Huaipei just nodded, and then strode out of the inn with the Sun family. Chu Xunzhi always looked at all this coldly, and after Sun Huaipei and the others left, he snorted coldly: "The woman's opinion, the woman's opinion." ”
Chu Rong looked embarrassed, and didn't seem to want her grandfather to talk about things so desperately, but her state was similar to Sun Baoxi just now, Chu Xunzhi's identity was here after all, and his words would definitely not be challenged.
"Senior Chu, you don't want to leave yet, are you here waiting to be implicated by me?" Han Xiao turned his head and asked.
"In that case, then we will not bother. Hearing Han Xiao's words, Chu Xunzhi actually got up immediately, and turned around to leave after saying goodbye.
"Grandpa!" Chu Rong got up and shouted, her appearance was exactly the same as Sun Baoxi just now, but Chu Xunzhi didn't even say a word, as if he hadn't even heard it, he shook his hand and walked out of the inn with the clansmen. Chu Rong looked at Han Xiao with a bitter face and said, "Brother Han......"
"It's okay, let's go, let's go, I'm the best, and it's a burden to carry you. Han Xiao also waved his hand, without the slightest anger.
It's just that after those tribal monks from Wanhu Island left, Han Xiao's eyes were somewhat gloomy, and he muttered: "I thought Chu Xunzhi was the second Situ Han, but I didn't expect him to be Chu Xunzhi." ”
"What do you mean?" Hammer asked, confused.
"It's not interesting, it's just a sigh. Han Xiao smiled and shook his head.
Chu Xunzhi and Sun Huaipei's departure just now, although it was all facilitated by Han Xiao, but seeing that they are leaving without hesitation now, it is definitely a lie to say that there is really no turmoil in their hearts. Chu Rong and the Sun family were rescued after a hard fight by themselves, but in this case, they really left separately. Han Xiao never took the initiative to ask anyone to do anything, but the approach of these people was indeed a little chilling.
Thinking of the battle between Li Mu and Qingpu back then, although Situ Han also abandoned Han Xiao, but at that time it was because they had no contact, after real contact, although Situ Han was always reprimanding Han Xiao, he would take action every time Han Xiao was in danger. Situ Han is old-fashioned, but he can distinguish between good and evil, and the most important thing is that he knows what morality is.
Thinking of Situ Han, and then thinking of these so-called tribal monks, Han Xiao naturally sighed with emotion. In fact, if they weren't tribal cultivators, Han Xiao wouldn't have had so many feelings.
Su Yue watched Han Xiao's reaction from the side, and said, "You are disappointed?"
Glancing at Su Yue, Han Xiao nodded unabashedly: "A little bit." ”
"It's good to be disappointed, such people are not suitable to be allies, and it is really a burden to keep them around. Su Yue said very seriously, he had always spoken so bluntly.
For Su Yue, Han Xiao's impression is relatively good, this straight-talking kid is certainly not very pleasing, but at least it is not boring. Thinking of this, Han Xiao suddenly said with a smile: "Then are you my ally or an enemy?"
