The Yongyi Islands are composed of more than 100 islands, of which there are more than 30 islands that can be inhabited, and among these islands, the largest one has a size of tens of millions of acres, and the smallest one has a size of more than 10 acres. These islands are inhabited by a wide range of ordinary people, more or less in number, and the most prosperous places are not inferior to the big cities on land.

The ocean-going ship of the Xu firm docked at the port of Baihua Island, the largest island in the Yongyi Islands. Except for the necessary personnel on duty to guard the Ocean, the rest of the sailors were allowed to operate on the island. This docking will also take at least ten days and half a month of rest, which is enough for the sailors to relax their tense nerves and relieve all kinds of negative emotions brought about by the boring life at sea.

After the Ocean docked, in addition to arranging for the personnel to take turns on duty, the first thing Xu Zhongda did was to pay the sailors, and Gong Huaiming also received almost five hundred taels of silver. Part of the money was his wages, and the most important thing was the reward for killing pirates. Maritime trade is more profitable, and the wages given by Xu's firm are also generous, even so, if Gong Huaiming hadn't killed several pirates and forced back the second master, Gong Huaiming would not have gotten so much silver.

Xu Zhongda asked Gong Huaiming to go to the island to have fun, and if the money was not enough, he could borrow it from him without interest. Gong Huaiming wanted to get acquainted with the life of the island, and by the way, he heard the news to see if he could find out where the patron of the Yongyi Islands, the Hundred Flowers Fairy, lived, if he could have the opportunity to get close to the Hundred Flowers Fairy, it would naturally be better, if the Hundred Flowers Fairy favored him and included him in his door, it would be simply cool.

Gong Huaiming stepped onto the deck with the sailors who disembarked, and as soon as one foot stepped on the land, Xu Zhongda's voice came from behind, "Huaiming stays." ”

Gong Huaiming looked back, Xu Zhongda chased him to the deck at the bow of the ship, followed by Xu Hu with a sad face. Xu Zhongda beckoned to Gong Huaiming and motioned for him to return to the boat.

"Huaiming, I'm going to do a big thing, I originally planned to take Xu Hu and Xu Bao there, who knew that Xu Hu just told me that Xu Bao was sick, and the doctor said that he must recuperate in the last three or five days, and he can't run around and do strenuous activities. The things I want to do are very important, and I can't afford to lose them, just take Xu Hu alone, it's a bit unsafe, I think about it, I think of you, I don't know if you are willing to accompany me on a trip?" Xu Zhongda stopped when he said this.

Xu Hu said: "Brother Huaiming, on our ship, except for me and Brother Xu Bao, you have the best skills." There is no other person to protect the young owner's family except you. ”

Xu Bao is sick, Gong Huaiming knows, and looking at his expression, Xu Zhongda is indeed in trouble, and it doesn't seem like he wants to do anything unfavorable against him. What's more, Xu's firm will be his foothold for a period of time in the future, and it is obviously not wise to refuse Xu Zhongda. "Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll go with you. ”

Xu Zhongda nodded, "Follow me." ”

Gong Huaiming followed Xu Zhongda and Xu Hu into the cabin. Xu Zhongda walked to the wooden cabinet in the corner of the cabin, opened the lock with the key, and took out three slender brocade boxes from inside. Inside the brocade box are three divine weapons, including the Cloud Sword.

Xu Zhongda said: "Each of the three of us carries a divine weapon, and I will take you to a place." You remember, along the way, even if you fight for your life, you must ensure the safety of the divine soldiers. ”

Xu Hu and Gong Huaiming nodded vigorously together. The three of them wrapped the brocade box in cloth, tied it firmly to their backs, and then disembarked together.

It was not the first time Xu Zhongda had come to Baihua Island, and he turned a blind eye to the pedestrians and hawkers on the island, and just took Xu Hu and Gong Huaiming to bury their heads and walk forward.

After leaving the dock, Xu Zhongda spent money to hire a car, the style of the car is very similar to the carriage on land, but the livestock pulling the cart is not a common animal such as mules, horses, donkeys and cattle, but a kind of waterway amphibious beast unique to the boundless sea - sea bear, its body size is similar to that of a bear, the color of the hair is mostly black, brown, and white, it is one of the common means of transportation in the three major islands of Yongyi Islands, Dongju Islands, and Qianbing Islands, in addition to pulling a cart, it can also be used as a mount.

The sea bear is very fast, and the speed of the gallop is not inferior to that of the best horses. The three of them sat in such a bear cart and crossed the entire Baihua Island. The bear pulls the cart, Gong Huaiming has never seen this kind of diorama, staring at the fat and clumsy sea bear running fast on the ground all the way, how to look at it and feel strange.

After getting off the bear cart, Xu Zhongda took Xu Hu and Gong Huaiming to a small wharf, which was surrounded by a wall, and there were more than a dozen people guarding the gate, led by two young and beautiful women, the two women were wearing pleated long skirts, their expressions were very arrogant, and their eyes were full of a high taste.

There are a total of seven or eight piers on Baihua Island, and the other docks are very lively, but this pier is so deserted that no one even passes by here, if you have to pass by the gate of this pier, you will go around as far as possible, as if there is something in the dock that you can't provoke.

Xu Zhongda stopped at a distance of about ten zhang from the gate of the dock, took a flag the size of a millstone from his arms, and asked Xu Hu for a thin stick that could be freely retracted and stretched, and wore the flag on the stick. Gong Huaiming saw that there were no words on this flag, but it was embroidered with a pink dragon.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing here?" Gong Huaiming asked casually.

Xu Zhongda said: "This is for identification, if we don't have this flag, if we approach this pier in front of us, we will have to be shot." After a while, you two will follow me, and do everything I command, whatever you see or hear, don't talk or talk too much. Also, if someone asks you something, you must say something, tell it truthfully, don't exaggerate, don't shrink it. Remember, if something happens, I will not be able to save you. ”

Xu Zhongda said very cautiously, Xu Hu and Gong Huaiming were infected by him and nodded heavily. Xu Zhongda took a deep breath, raised the flag in his hand, and walked towards the door of the dock. When he walked three zhang away from the gate, a piercing sound rang out, and a carved arrow pierced the sky and shot at Xu Zhongda's feet accurately. Half of the carved arrow pierced into the hard stone of the ground, and the exposed half of the arrow trembled and buzzed.

Looking at this arrow, Gong Huaiming was shocked. This arrow is clearly made of bamboo, and it can pierce the stone ground nearly a foot deep, how much strength does it take? And how much pull should the bow that shoots this arrow have? How strong should the person who can pull the bow out?
