The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 537 Taiping Island

“Master Zhao.” Tang En knocked on Zhao Changhe’s door: “Taiping Island is ahead of us. Let’s go down to rest and replenish supplies. Master, do you want to go?”

It has been more than ten days since the voyage, and this Mr. Zhao has not left home. He sits cross-legged in the house without moving. He does not need to eat, drink, or **** or urinate. There is not even a toilet in his house... It's really It refreshed the three outlooks of the Tang family sailors.

 Did you pull the bed?

If you really don’t need anything, then you’re not a human anymore, right?

　　It is said that he is number one in the human rankings and the king of human beings. It is not surprising how strong he is. Maybe he has already reached the second level of secrets. But even if it is a second-level secret treasure, it is not that everyone has seen people like Tang Shouzuo. Tang Shouzuo also needs to eat, and it is also convenient to metabolize after eating.

 Zhao Changhe opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of thick air.

　In this crisp autumn sea, a thick white mist is breathed out like a cold winter.

 “How many days have we been sailing?”

"It's already the thirteenth day." Tang En was very impressed: "Young Master can actually retreat like this. He is truly an immortal."

Zhao Changhe got out of bed and moved his hands and feet. He felt a little weak and needed to replenish energy, which meant that he was not a god.

These days, we are actually in a state of internal circulation. The metabolism in the body is extremely slow and the energy demand is extremely low. It is also actively absorbing the power of heaven and earth from the outside world, injecting heavenly spirits above and flowing springs below to make up for the needs of practice. energy.

Since the meridians have been reshaped and the internal energy has been broken through, this has been possible... Top warriors are often able to achieve long-term seclusion and enlightenment because of this.

 Of course no one can play like this when they are full, and they still need to eat...but if they are in an extreme situation, such as being trapped on an island or falling into the water, if they can reach this level, they will not die. The first-level secret treasure dared not go out to sea, but the second-level secret treasure had the confidence. The most important thing is based on this, it is not afraid if the boat capsizes.

However, this so-called confidence actually does not allow them to directly face the top beings of the Sea Clan. No matter how far they have recovered, even if their hard power is not as good as Baoqin, they cannot face it directly because everyone has different understanding and mastery of the power of heaven and earth. level.

The Sea Clan's secret skill in Cui Wenjing, which induces the water element in the body to go berserk, cannot be used by ordinary Sea Clan. The Sea Clan will not be as good as Wang Daoning, but once it reaches this level, Zhao Changhe thinks he can't handle it now. You can't resist even a single move.

Cui Wenjing survived all these attacks, which shows that he can actually carry it. Because he was injured first and had never experienced this trick before, he should be able to withstand it if he was specifically prepared. In other words, only by having three secrets and being prepared can you have the confidence to face it head-on.

Still not strong enough... I thought I was climbing very fast, but when I looked up, I saw that there were still mountains in front of me, one after another without end. And the speed at which I was improving could not keep up with the intensity of the enemies I faced.

I don’t know how far this overseas experience can push my practice... So far, I am still far away from the threshold of the triple secret, let alone a breakthrough.

Zhao Changhe opened the door and went out. An island appeared in the distance, and there seemed to be buildings on the island.

Tang En was standing by the side waiting. When he saw him coming out, he smiled and said, "That's Taiping Island over there. We usually make a transit there."

Zhao Changhe didn’t quite understand this: “Did we not bring enough food and water?”

"In terms of food and water alone, it is actually enough for us to get to Haitian Island, but it is also good to replenish some along the way. In case of getting lost, there is always more protection." Tang En said with a smile: "In addition, Mr. Zhao may be in retreat. Less than... Sailing on the sea for a long time is very depressing. You always see the same scenery in front of you, and your mental state becomes wrong over time. Not all sailors and soldiers are veterans, there are still many who are sailing for the first time. Newcomers need to adjust more, and taking a break to relax in the middle is very necessary.”

Zhao Changhe understood and said with a smile: "There may be a place for you to indulge in alcohol and alcohol."

Tang En blinked: "If the young master goes, we will keep it secret and won't tell my young lady."

"Hey, who told you that I have a relationship with the lady of your family?" Zhao Changhe secretly thought that my relationship with Wan Zhuang was not shown in public in front of outsiders... Was it spread out about the capital city walking hand in hand? Or is Baoqin or Tang Buqi too talkative?

Tang En said with a smile: "The young lady's attitude towards you is so special that none of the elders in the family can see it. The old man is just pretending to be blind, but he is actually very happy..."

He lowered his voice and said, "It's Your Highness after all."

 Zhao Changhe: “emmmm…”

 Is it so obvious...

 Since Xia Chichi and Xia Longyuan met, even though the father and daughter's attitude was still very strange, Zhao Changhe always felt that his identity had been transferred back to Chichi. He didn't know whether Old Mrs. Tang and the others would be completely disappointed by then.

Tang En added: "Speaking of Taiping Island, it is actually not a very professional midway supply island, because there are not many ships on this route itself. It would be good to have one or two fleets passing by here throughout the year. They themselves They were a group of Xia people fishermen who went to sea to escape war and harsh government. They were formed for the same reason as many small countries overseas. However, they had only a small number of people, so they were just a group of people who enjoyed fishing. Later, occasionally fleets would pass by and come to them for shopping and supplies. They adapted and opened some inns and gambling houses, which are very expensive. After all, they only open so many times a year, so brothels are even more expensive..." Zhao Changhe suddenly said: "They make brothels with their own fishermen? Where can the girl come from? From your own town?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he had not considered this issue and was at a loss for what to do.

Zhao Changhe added: "You can see pirates blocking ships in our coastal waters. Do you know how rampant the pirates have become? How can some simple fishermen still enjoy themselves on the island? Do you have a life to spend after making money?"

Tang En opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

I have slept there several times in the past few years. How lucky am I that I still have my kidneys?

Having woken up after a while, he quickly went to give the order: "Don't go to Taiping Island, we..."

Before he finished speaking, he was caught by Zhao Changhe. Turning around, Zhao Changhe seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "If you went there before and it was fine, then it will probably be fine again... I would like to find out what kind of tiger's nest and dragon's pond this is. .”

 This is the detective addiction coming back...

The blind man folded his arms and thought to himself that you wanted to lose the jade medal at first. You obviously liked this. Of course, this trait is also very suitable for her needs. Xia Longyuan is right.

Tang En was speechless: "You know the danger, so there's no need to go..."

“Why not go? What is the reason why the pirates want to persuade us to return? I have always been curious...Aren’t you curious?”

　　…“…I’m not curious.”

 “You have to go even if you’re not curious, you should eat and drink when you need to.”

 “Bump.” The fleet slowly docked amidst the wrangling.

 The sailors on the ship got off the ship with joy and joy, running towards the wine flag held in front of them, and the seemingly deserted island suddenly became lively.

Zhao Changhe has always been in seclusion because he really has not realized what it is like for these sailors to watch the same sea water from beginning to end for more than ten days. He cannot understand this kind of passion.

 Walking among the crowd, my mind was observing with great interest.

I thought it was just a small broken island, a small town, and one or two small wine shops. But when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that there were a vast area of ​​taverns, casinos and brothels. The scale of these entertainment venues alone could almost become a town.

 That's right, a fleet usually has a lot of people, and one or two small restaurants cannot accommodate them.

 But the larger the scale, the more it proves that it cannot be started by some fishermen themselves. There must be something fishy behind it.

Zhao Changhe casually followed the flow of people into a restaurant. In the restaurant, a group of women surrounded him: "How are you, gentlemen..."

 The Ganqing Restaurant and the brothel are directly integrated.

Zhao Changhe didn't care and said to the old bustard casually: "Give these brothers to me, so I don't need them. Find me a quiet box and I can drink some by myself."

At the same time, in the backyard of the brothel, Sanniang ran in excitedly: "I heard that Zhao Shouyi entered this house, right? Which room is he in? I'll go meet him for a while."

No matter which hotel, gambling house or brothel Zhao Changhe enters, the proprietress will always be the third boss. This is the home court!

Hua Zhenming advised: "The third master should be more careful... This person is really strong, don't underestimate the enemy."

Sanniang was full of confidence: "How can I be afraid of a little good-for-nothing who just got off the ship and went to whore? If we take him down, the Tang family's fleet will be ours."
