Chapter 149: The Unfulfilled Mission (Three Watches)
Xue Zha pulled Le Xiang into the room, poked his head out and looked around, making sure that no one was following him before he spoke.
"Lao Le, have you noticed that the people in the house are a little strange?"
Xue Zha sat in his seat, directly grabbed the kettle on the table, first poured a glass of water for Le Xiang, and then added a glass for himself.
When Le Shen heard Xue Zha's words, his brows furrowed, and he learned from Xue Zha's low voice and said.
"Yes, I also found out that since Liu Ruo's guy promised to help us, the people in the mansion seem to be deliberately avoiding us. ”
Le Xiang directly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently.
Xue Zhe nodded, raised his right hand and rubbed his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
"Liu Ruo, that guy looks very good-looking, but he is also a ruthless master, the housekeeper will kill if he says kill, maybe the other subordinates will kill and avoid us because of this, after all, when the two of us come, the housekeeper will die. ”
Xue Zha remembered the scene yesterday when the butler who was so frightened that he kept trembling fell to the ground.
Liu Ruo was like a machine without any emotion, and directly cut off the butler's head with a knife, without looking at it from beginning to end.
Even when blood soaked the boots under his feet, he never looked back.
This kind of person is either a madman or a person who is indifferent to life to the extreme.
Sure enough, the people who can sit in the position of the city lord are not good at stubble.
Xue Zha and Le Xiang have been on the island of the Three Kingdoms for a while, and they have also come into contact with different generals and people from the management class of the Three Kingdoms.
But they only had one thing in common, that is, the mission of persuasion given by the Holy Courtyard could not be completed.
Not to mention whether the three countries agree or not, they have not even seen the kings of the three countries, and they already feel that there are many difficulties.
The forces on all sides are passing the buck to each other, and there is absolutely no way to carry out the idea of persuading peace.
Xue Zha retracted the momentum on his body, scratched his head, and then reached out and threw the shrimp line of the big lobster just now on the deck.
"Well, I really don't have any ill will, and besides, I really came out of the Holy Island, and I have a mission on my part, and I have to do it. ”
Xue Zha spread his hands to show that he was harmless, and at the same time took out his body, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon.
Tang Long'er's eyes were still full of vigilance, but her face softened a little.
She waved her hand at the subordinates who had already surrounded Xue Zha, and at the same time straightened her back, looked at Xue Zha and said.
"What does your mission have to do with us?"
Xue Zha saw that Tang Long'er was still so cautious at this time, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Don't mention it, the Holy Courtyard has sent me a lot of tasks, and I don't have a clue until now, so I thought I would ask some people who are familiar with the sea environment, who asked you to tie me to the ship while I was sleeping?"
Tang Long'er's face was slightly red when he heard Xue Zha's words.
As Xue Zha said, it was she who tied Xue Zha to the boat, and he provoked Xue Zha first, and the people did not kill people to retaliate on a large scale, which was already regarded as merciful to his subordinates.
"You are not familiar with the sea? Who is not a good navigator from the Holy Island? Who are you?"
The atmosphere that had just eased up instantly became tense again, Tang Long'er clenched the weapon in his hand, and the battle would be triggered at any time.
Xue Zhe really couldn't stand the woman in front of him, he had already said it so clearly, why didn't he believe it.
In fact, I can't complain about Xue Zha, people who beg for a living on the sea, especially those who are pirates, live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.
There is no friendship and affection between pirates, and whoever has a hard fist is the boss with more people, so the word trust does not exist at all in pirates.
It is also a new experience for people who live inland all year round and have never seen much of the sea, and it is also a feeling that they have never experienced at all.
So it's not that Xue Zha doesn't understand, it's that he doesn't know the situation at all, which is completely different from the fights between those gang families on land.
Tang Long'er saw that Xue Zha didn't speak for a long time, and the weapon in his hand became tighter and tighter, for fear that the next moment, Xue Zha took out a dagger and stabbed her.
But with Xue Zha's long sigh, Tang Long'er showed doubts on his face.
"Alas...... I really don't know how you became the boss of the pirate group, you don't have a little observation and judgment, it seems that I think highly of you, since you don't want to believe me, give me a ship and some supplies, I'll leave now. ”
Xue Zha shook his head, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at Tang Long'er one last time, then stopped looking at it.
Somehow, Tang Long'er was glanced at by Xue Zha, and a feeling of guilt suddenly arose in his heart, and this feeling became stronger and stronger, and it has been lingering in his heart.
Xue Zha saw that Tang Long'er didn't react, and finally decided not to delay any longer, turned around and walked towards the bottom of the boat.
When the pirates saw Xue Zha, they did not stop it in the slightest, and directly formed a passage two people wide.
Tang Long'er saw that Xue Zha didn't look back, and was about to disappear from her sight, she subconsciously shouted.
"Wait a minute!"
Xue Zha's footsteps stopped, but he didn't turn around, but there was already a smile on his face.
"What for?"
Xue Zha turned his head sideways, glanced at Tang Long'er and asked.
"What's your name?"
Tang Long'er frowned and asked.
Xue Zha turned around slowly, and this time there was a puzzled expression on his face.
"You didn't stop me just to ask my name, did you? Sorry, I didn't make an appointment. ”
There was a hint of anger on Xue Zha's face, and he turned around again to leave.
Tang Long'er was really a little anxious now, although she didn't know who Xue Zha was at all, and she didn't know what Xue Zh's purpose was, but she couldn't help but be moved when she remembered what Xue Zha said just now.
It is true that Tang Long'er is the leader of a pirate group, but she is also a woman after all, and due to the limitations of the times, the status of women is not very high, and women can't show their heads outside, let alone mix with a group of men every day.
But Tang Long'er is not a person who is willing to be ordinary, she also wants to do something big, and she also wants those stinky men who look down on her to see how good she is, even better than many men.
Therefore, Xue Zha's proposal just now was very tempting for her.
"Stop! I want to ask you, what will I have to pay if you help me become the best pirate group in this sea?"
Xue Zhe heard Tang Long'er's words, his footsteps stopped again, and this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that his goal had been achieved.
But before Xue Zha could turn around and speak, a few people who looked like heads stood up beside Tang Long'er.
"Boss, we don't even know who he is, so we can't take risks!"
"Yes, we will definitely suffer if we do it, we can't beat him, think twice, boss!"
Tang Long'er saw the two left and right hands coming to his side, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"I'm the boss of this ship, I have the final say!"
Tang Long'er's tone became tough, and his attitude was very resolute.
As the saying goes, wealth is in danger, although Tang Long'er doesn't know Xue Zha's purpose and personality, but she is willing to gamble, not to mention anything else, it's a big deal to lose and start all over again, but if you win, you will get a lot of rewards.
Whoever says that a woman can't do a big thing, she just wants to do a big thing, to silence the men who used to sneer at him and look at him with strange eyes, or bow their heads to him.
If Xue Zha could know Tang Long'er's thoughts, he probably wouldn't have helped this only strong woman on the sea.
Xue Zha turned around with a smile, slowly walked in front of Tang Long'er, and looked at her steadily.
"Hello, my name is Xue Zha, I am a newcomer who has just entered the Holy Courtyard, after I help you unify this sea area, I need you to help me find the distribution of various sea beasts. ”
Xue Zha said some of his basic information.
But when Tang Long'er heard Xue Zha's name, he was obviously stunned, and glanced at Xue Zha with disbelief.
