The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 539 A rare and serious Sanniang

 In the backyard, Hua Zhenming was pacing back and forth, anxious in his heart: "The Third Master has been here for so long, how come it's calm?"

Others were advising: "Commander Hua, don't be anxious. With the strength of the third leader, he attacked the whole regiment when he first came back that day and shocked everyone. The brothers who were not convinced by the third leader who appeared out of nowhere became submissive overnight. This It's something that ordinary people can do... No matter how strong Zhao Shou is, he can't be the opponent of the Third Master..."

"But why didn't she get beaten when she went in..."

"This calm situation may not be a battle, but maybe a negotiation or drugging the other party..."

 Everyone looked at each other, and a scene emerged in their minds:

The enchanting Third Master Yingying sat in someone's arms, holding up a wine glass and saying, "Sir, after taking this sip, I will be yours tonight..."

　　I can’t help it anymore, my nose is bleeding.

But the pirates seemed to think that similar scenes were normal. Hua Zhenming didn't care. He nodded and said: "If this is the case, you will see the third master carrying this person out in a while. Don't let up, stay here. If anything goes wrong, go and help the third master immediately."

The pirates were nervous, but the scene inside the house was completely different from what people imagined.

Sanniang, who was usually seen as voluptuous and lazy in people's eyes, looked very serious. She slowly wiped her crab-eating hands and stared at Zhao Changhe closely, as if whether he was a house fire pig was particularly important in this matter.

Because she despised "Zhao Shouyi" before coming here, she did not play the role of a boss lady with dedication. She did not change her clothes after coming from a pirate gang. The silk clothes she wore were neither the theoretical silk clothes of a brothel madam, nor the clothes worn by Huangsha Ji. On the contrary, he is quite charming and capable, with a strong sense of being a rough and tumble bandit or pirate, which reminds Zhao Changhe of Yue Hongling, but even more wild.

 Getting serious at this time always gave Zhao Changhe a sense of dissonance as time and space changed. The lazy and smiling turtle dimmed, and was replaced by Venerable Xuanwu of the Four Symbols Sect.

After the unaccustomed feeling of disobedience passed, Zhao Changhe began to feel that this kind of Sanniang was more in line with his original inner imagination of Xuanwu. Then he raised the jug and poured Sanniang a glass of wine: "Yes, I am the fire pig in the lower room of Xuanwu Seat. I have wine. Do you have a story, sir?"

Sanniang said calmly: "Do you want my story, the story of the pirate group, or the story about why we persuaded people to return and expel the fishermen and merchant ships this time?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Can't you tell everything?"

Sanniang said: “Do you want me to tell the truth?”

 “I think there should be nothing that can’t be said...”

“The truth is, I am not as familiar with you as you think.”

　　　…”

Sanniang smiled slightly and leaned back on the chair to drink: "You have fun in you. I think it's interesting. It can distract me from the boredom of facing the sea or the yellow sand for a long time. As for the rest, besides Huang, you and I Apart from the cooperation in Shaji, is there any special friendship? To take the ancient sword Dragon King?"

"Isn't it?" Zhao Changhe thought of Beimang's little ambiguity. Even though he knew that there was nothing to say about it, he still subconsciously felt that they were very close...

"The sword is still on you, and I have no intention of asking you to return it. A smart person like you should actually think of it. This is because I don't want to owe you a favor... You copied the Rejuvenation Technique and gave it to me, although there is still no one in the Four Symbols Sect. You understand, but the Dragon King should be yours, so the excuse I used to lend you the sword is actually giving it to you."

“Tsk, I didn’t expect you to have such twists and turns. I thought you were lazy and slow.”

 Actually, your judgment is right. I really don’t want to use my brain... Sanniang smiled slightly: "Do you think you know me well?"

Zhao Changhe thought for a while, then laughed and said: "If the Venerable said that, then the essence is that the Venerable did not treat me as a domestic fire pig. On the contrary, I regard myself as a member of the Four Symbols Sect and am particularly close to the Venerable. I feel like everyone can trust each other.”

"The first half of the sentence may be correct. It's not just me. Isn't Zhuque a little hesitant?" Sanniang smiled: "The second half of the sentence may not be true. Who can trust your mouth to deceive lovers and deceive flowers?"

Zhao Changhe said helplessly: "I am true to her."

"Really?" Sanniang's eyes were full of fun again, and she seemed to want to do some more work. She finally endured it and said calmly: "I'd better tell you about the situation here first."

 Zhao Changhe refilled her wine and said, "I'm all ears."

Sanniang said: "Since ancient times, the fear of going to sea has been wind and waves. You should be able to imagine that since fishermen went to sea, they would worship some beliefs such as the sea **** and the dragon king to protect people from wind and waves and return home safely."

Zhao Changhe nodded: "This is natural."

"In fact, these gods do not exist - maybe they existed in the last era, but they do not exist in this world. Naturally, they have no efficacious effects. It is nothing more than a kind of superstition or sustenance." Sanniang said: "But starting from the past two years, some people have It works.”

 Zhao Changhe immediately understood: "The Emperor of the Sea."

"Yes, he is called Poseidon in the sea. He has really performed miracles and moved the ship away when the storm came... With more and more miracles, more and more faith has been harvested. Until now, almost all the giants in the sea have Basically all the members of countries big and small and even pirate groups believe in it, and they are still very fanatical."

Zhao Changhe said: "It is normal for gods with miracles to gain fanatical beliefs...Based on the analysis of the situation I know here, the recovery of Poseidon may be related to the power of this kind of belief. This may be the reason why Poseidon has been in the past two years This is the reason why his actions are becoming more and more frequent and he has begun to invade the land. The more faith he has, or the wider the scope of his rule, the closer he is to his complete recovery... Well, maybe there is still a chance to break through to the first level. After all, the gods used to Competition, now he is a bit of a standout, and he has a great chance."

 This is the reason why the Poseidon is eager to push towards the land...The Wang family's irrational actions are completely solved here. But was Wang Daoning really controlled or brainwashed? The usual thinking of the family was abandoned, and the sister who was the queen was no longer wanted, and she accompanied the Poseidon to fool around...

Sanniang leaned back on the chair and sipped her wine, feeling a little comfortable.

It is comfortable to communicate with smart people. Not only does it not require a lot of words, but the other person can draw inferences from one example and even provide peer intelligence in return.

No wonder both Zhuque and Tang Wanzhuang always don’t like to use their brains when this kid is around... Who can love themselves so much...

Sanniang sighed in her stomach and said: "That's right. Although there are many islands and small countries in the sea, it is actually sparse. The total population is very small. Compared with the land of China, there may not even be one in ten thousand. This is In the past two years, Neptune's tentacles have begun to reach out to fishermen and merchants who go to sea on land, deliberately creating waves and saving people, directing and performing miracles on their own, harvesting the faith of fishermen and letting them spread it back."

Zhao Changhe said: "Is this the reason why you are urging us to return?"

Sanniang said calmly: "As you said, it was just a robbery. After the robbery, we just rushed back."

 “That’s not what I’m thinking about…”

"what is that?"

“You are usually at Huangshaji. You can’t control the pirates here, right?”

"Yeah. Actually, we don't have much contact. I'm just here to visit relatives..." Speaking of this, Guigui got angry. Damn it, if your family's love hadn't asked me to come out to take care of your little lover and her little love rival, I would be thousands of miles away. From Huangshaji to Donghai? By the way, your family affairs are none of my business...

Since I have come here, of course I have to find my old organization to use it, but I am directly involved in new things.

Zhao Changhe said: "Since the pirates here have lived on the sea for a long time, why won't their faith be harvested by the Sea King? Do they have other beliefs? The Night Emperor? Or... the Dragon King?"

Sanniang’s heart skipped a beat when she complained. This little man is really smart...

She hesitated for a moment, not wanting to talk too much about pirates to Zhao Changhe, because it would be difficult to avoid talking about her past, and the relationship between them was not that important. After thinking for a while, he said: "Anyway, you know that the pirates here are not like the Poseidon. The fact that they have become pirates has a lot to do with it. Since they are pirates that the Poseidon does not tolerate, they will naturally face a crackdown. This is what I want to say to you. The reason why you want a fleet is that your fleet is very strong..."

“The government is coming to suppress you?”

"Yes, many forces in the sea are united to suppress us. We have spies in various countries and received the news in advance." Sanniang sighed: "Why is my life so miserable? I am going to be suppressed by bandits when I come to visit my relatives..."

Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry. He still had this habit and couldn't hold a stick of incense seriously.

Sanniang seemed to realize that her attitude had lost her temper again. She put the wine glass on the table with a bang and stared at her with beautiful eyes: "Okay, now that we are talking about it, are you going to give me the boat?"

 “Why didn’t the Hai people come in person, but instead engaged in government suppression of bandits?”

Sanniang glared and said, "How do you know there is no Sea Clan among the people here?"

 “Sanniang…”

 “Call me Your Majesty!”

"Okay Sanniang." Zhao Changhe sighed: "Aren't you stupid? You clearly know that I want to fight against the Sea Clan. You and I obviously have a natural cooperative relationship. Why are you always worried that I won't help? Yes? How about you go and sit at the same table with Baoqin next time?"

Sanniang said coldly: "You may have made a mistake... I asked you for the fleet, not you."

Zhao Changhe was stunned and pointed at his nose in surprise: "You don't need my help?"

"That's right, because I don't want anything happening here to reach Tang Wanzhuang's pillow. The Tang family sailors are easy to fool, but you can't."

Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "It's just the remnant of the Dragon King, nothing special about it. As I said just now, the only one who can't trust the pigs in the room is the venerable himself."

He picked up the wine pot again, but this time he did not pour wine for Sanniang. He poured himself a glass and drank it in one gulp: "The fleet can cooperate with you, but I must follow. I must be responsible for the Tang family fleet. In addition... "

"What?"

"Your Majesty, I very much doubt that your affairs would not be so easy to do without my intervention."

Sanniang smiled: "You are self-righteous. Then you can follow me. Whenever I need you to move a finger, you are my boss!"
