Chapter Seventy-Three: A Strange Meeting (2nd Update)
Xue Zha took a few steps forward directly, walked in front of Le Xiang, supported it with one hand, touched his chin with his right hand, and turned around Le Xiang twice.
As he turned, he nodded his head and seemed to be muttering something in a low voice.
Le Xiang was a little nervous by Xue Zha, he was originally a little at a loss, not only took Xue Zha's things, but also took the things privately.
Not to mention that he intercepted a bottle of potion and found someone to study it, he also secretly hid a few ginseng sticks of fifty years old from Xue Zha, and even ate one.
It is said that the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of taking people are short, and Le Shen at this time is in this state, he not only eats but also takes.
But after all, he is also a long-established old Jianghu, and there is no change in expression on his face.
Le Xiang's eyes kept moving with Xue Zha's body, but he couldn't help but speak after all.
"Brother Xue, is there anything wrong with the old man?"
Xue Zha shook his head and replied directly.
"No, but I'm curious, why did this island owner say something like that to me when he asked me to make a deal?"
Xue Zha's words made it really difficult for Le Shen to answer, but he still replied stubbornly.
"That's right, I'm good friends with the owner of this island, and I mentioned your potion to him before, and he was very interested, so I want to know more about it. ”
Le Shen didn't tell Xue Zha the truth, but it was true that the island owner said that he wanted to trade with Xue Zhe.
Xue Zha raised his head and looked at Le Xiang seriously, knowing that he was a little hairy when he looked at the other party again, so he stopped.
"Alright, let's go, I don't think you can be the master of the transaction. ”
Xue Zha's words made Le Xiang almost unable to hold back and run away, but he still held back.
"Boy, wait for you to feel better, I'll let you now. ”
Xue Zha didn't know what Le Shen was thinking at this time, otherwise he would definitely have a good time with him first.
Le Xiang took Xue Zha around and finally came to a secluded place.
At this time, the road seemed to have come to an end, and in front of the two, there was only a square table and four chairs.
"Do you know I'm tired? ”
Xue Zha smiled, and directly moved a chair and sat down, without the slightest politeness.
Le Shen saw that Xue Zha didn't help him move a chair, and his face was a little unsightly, but he didn't show it, but it was fleeting.
Le Xiang also moved a chair and sat down directly.
There was an iron stove and a stove next to the table, and Le Shen directly pulled the stove closer.
"Since you want to rest, how can you do without tea?"
After Le Shen finished speaking, he took out a small bottle of tea from his waist, opened the teacup directly, and put the tea leaves in with tweezers.
Xue Zhe narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to block the sunlight above his head, and walked to the deck after adjusting to the sunlight.
I don't know what's going on, Xue Zha found that the pirates passing by always looked at him strangely, although it wasn't strange, but he always felt that their eyes had a deep meaning.
"Strange? I don't think there's anything on my face. ”
Xue Zha subconsciously touched her face, and at the same time looked at Tang Long'er on the side, and found that she had a cold face and threatened her eyes and stretched out her fist to demonstrate against the pirates.
Xue Zha looked at Tang Long'er, and then at the pirate's eyes looking at him, remembering yesterday's incident, and quickly figured out the joints.
This clearly treats him as a man.
But in general, in addition to the strange eyes, Xue Zha can still feel a kind of respect, after all, he Xue Zha is not an embroidered pillow.
Xue Zha walked to the side of the boat, looked at the blue sea, stretched out his arms to feel the salty sea breeze, and stretched his waist again.
"Hah...... Waking up to see such a vast sea is truly an experience that cannot be imagined in the interior. ”
Xue Zhe moved his body a little, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
Tang Long'er walked over with a smile and stood quietly beside him.
"Since you like it, you can stay, Jack is captured by us, and his men will also be annexed, and we can be the overlord of this sea area in the future." ”
Tang Long'er sent an invitation to Xue Zha, although she did not change on the surface, but in her heart she kept shouting for Xue Zha to stay.
Xue Zha smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.
"Although the sea is good, it is not my home after all, it is very vast, but it can't accommodate my existence, I am not a person who can live on the sea, Tang is in charge, I understand your kindness. ”
Xue Zha politely refused Tang Long'er's invitation, he just had the idea of curiosity and emotion about the sea, if he really lived on the sea, maybe something would happen.
Tang Long'er didn't show a disappointed expression, she already had a premonition that Xue Zha would refuse her invitation.
She smiled softly, as if she had thought of something, and spoke.
"By the way, Mr. Xue, it's time for us to go see Captain Jack, he's been waiting for you all along. ”
Tang Long'er suddenly spoke, and did not show even a trace of embarrassment because of Xue Zha's refusal.
So Xue Zha just accepted it after a while, and the two sides suddenly tacitly agreed not to mention this issue again.
When Tang Long'er took Xue Zha back to the cabin again, and at the same time kept walking towards the bottom of the boat, Xue Zha deeply felt the difference between different classes.
I had only learned about the slaves at sea from books, living in the dark bottom of a ship, cold, damp, crowded and dirty.
This time, Xue Zha can be regarded as having experienced it firsthand.
The pirates who lived at the bottom of the ships were either of relatively low status, or those of lower strength or who were old and sick, and the air was cloudy, mixed with the smell of sweat and urine, and at the same time, because of the lack of circulation, they were very depressing.
Xue Zhe stayed for a while, and then felt that his whole body became uncomfortable.
But Tang Long'er didn't change at all, which made Xue Zhegao look at her a few times, this master must have also suffered from this.
Soon, Tang Long'er took Xue Zha to the door of a room, and there were two pirates standing in front of the door, who had been guarding the door, not leaving an inch.
When they saw Tang Long'er coming, the two pirates nodded and bowed to her at the same time.
In one of the living rooms of the cabin, three people sat around a square table, none of them speaking, only the mist rising from the teacups in front of them reflected their faces.
Captain Jack looked at Xue Zha, who squinted his eyes and folded his hands around his chest as if he were asleep.
On the other side, Tang Long'er took out the short knife at his waist and put the blade close to his fingers, as if he was cutting his nails.
Captain Jack looked at Xue Zhe and then at Tang Long'er, and saw that the two of them didn't mean to speak, so he slammed the table, and the teacup on the table was suddenly knocked over, and the tea soup slowly flowed down the edge of the table.
"Why don't you speak? Are you waiting for me to speak first? Okay, then I'll speak first. ”
Captain Jack withdrew his palm, his eyes swept to Xue Zha and Tang Long'er's faces again, and seeing that the two still didn't mean to speak, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Brother Xue just talked to me, and he plans to gather the power of all the elite pirates in this sea area, gather them together, and hunt the sea beasts!"
As Captain Jack's last word fell, Tang Long'er, who was trimming his nails on the side, stiffened his fingers, and unconsciously turned his head to look at Xue Zhe, who was still pretending to sleep.
Seeing that his words had an effect, Captain Jack leaned back and continued.
"Brother Xue, don't sell it, you should have a detailed plan for what to do, right? I really don't like you scholars, you still grind and chirp when you talk about something, and you can't finish it in one breath. ”
