Chapter 565 The Dispersing Fog
From the beginning of this battle, the scene has always been so psychedelic that there is supportable basis for guessing in any direction.
The pirate group has been waiting for Sanniang as the "third leader" for so many years. Hai Qianfan has always only called himself the "acting leader". When Sanniang comes back, he will automatically give up power and has no intention of fighting for power. If he wants to control the pirate group, it's really just like playing for fun. Sanniang won't compete with him at all. Is it necessary to act like this?
What's more, after so many years, there have been iterations within the pirate group. The education that newcomers have always heard is that there is a third boss outside, and they must follow it when they come back. This can't be acted out either. You can tell the attitude of the pirates at a glance.
In the past few years, the pirate group has been secretly trading to make money for the Four Elephants Sect. They have always been diligent and diligent, and even the amount of black money they tacitly allowed them to take was very small. When they came this time, Sanniang realized that the power of faith accelerated the recovery of the Sea King, and asked them to persuade the fishermen and merchants to return to Xia Kingdom. They just went and executed it meticulously.
No matter how you look at it, they are loyal subordinates.
The most important thing is that the last time I was attacked by the Sea Clan at night, it was really serious. Not only did the pirates suffer heavy casualties in that battle, countless elite members of the sea tribe were also killed there. The powerful shark-men and the water-men with one missing crystal core were all destroyed there, and the ordinary fish-men were littered with corpses. The sea was littered with death and injuries.
Could this be an act?
It may be said that the acting was done to deceive Sanniang, but she didn't deceive her at all. The battle between Sanniang and the water man was so stalemate that there was no conspiracy.
This time it seems that the pirates and Penglai united to kill the small country's fleet, but suddenly they were doing it to help the Poseidon?
Isn't this baffling? Why can't you trust them for once and think there's another reason?
For example, because the two families were originally from the same source and had secretly reached some conspiracy against maritime hegemony, the pirates might not even know that there was a sacrifice. Moreover, this kind of conspiracy must have been in contact a long time ago, and it cannot be reached recently, so it has nothing to do with Sanniang.
Even if you guess that Penglai and the pirate group are a family from the beginning to the end, and they split into two sides in order to deceive the Poseidon, it makes perfect sense.
How to judge whether to trust Hai Qianfan once?
When Zhao Changhe secretly communicated with Sanniang about this matter, Sanniang couldn't make a choice, but still replied with those three words: "It's up to you."
As long as you are willing to listen, Guigui is cute and he is willing to hand over the decision-making power to others when his own brain is down, instead of being stubborn.
Once it is left to Zhao Changhe to judge, he has no friendship with the pirates, so he will naturally not be disturbed by emotions. He only needs to do a test. Forced by Hai Changkong, he didn't use his left or right sword. He just hid his weakness and looked like he could be crushed by adding a handful of straw, waiting to catch fish.
Sure enough, it's done once you catch it.
Hai Qianfan is over fifty. He was Hai Pinglan's guard commander back then. He is several years older than the young Hai Changkong. Now his beard has turned gray, and his majestic and gray beard looks really upright.
At this moment, facing Sanniang's angry fist, Hai Qianfan took half a step back and slashed diagonally: "The princess was injured before and has not recovered. Just now she was focused on defeating the water man, and now she is injured again... It's better not to be so angry. good."
"Bang!" The fist force and the sword light intersected, and both sides took a few steps back. Sanniang covered the unhealed bone wound under her ribs with a cold expression.
Hai Qianfan didn't feel well either. The gap in physical strength was such that even a punch that hurt him still made his insides swell and he almost vomited blood.
He took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Changhe who was facing the siege of Hai Changkong and Hua Zhenming with swords and swords, and said slowly: "It is actually very dangerous for Mr. Zhao to test like this. If he is not careful, he has already injured Hai Changkong's hand." The reason for doing this must be that I am the enemy, and you would rather take some risks to expose me. Can you ask Mr. Zhao the reason? I want to know where I have exposed my flaws. Is it because of this incident? A naval battle? The cause of this naval battle really has nothing to do with what you two think."
Sanniang glanced at Zhao Changhe and wanted to know his reason.
Zhao Changhe forced Hua Zhenming away with a sword and said with a smile: "My confusion started from this brother Hua... The night the base was attacked by the Hai clan at night, Sanniang was a newcomer and was not in charge of the fleet command at that time. She didn't expect that It is not surprising to evacuate the people on Taiping Island, but as a pirate captain who often needs to relocate everywhere, this must be the first reaction, but Brother Hua did not think of this... It is difficult for me to understand such a fatal What’s even more difficult to understand is that Senior Hai didn’t even show any anger or blame afterward.”
Hua Zhenming had a sullen face and his offensive became more and more crazy. Unfortunately, his strength was indeed weaker and he could not pose any threat to Zhao Changhe.
Hai Changkong, on the other hand, was very interested in not using any special moves. He was clinking his swords with Zhao Changhe like he was practicing martial arts. He seemed to be very interested in Zhao Changhe's remarks and was waiting for updates.
"I can only understand that Taiping Island is what you want to give up and give to the Sea Tribe, maybe to feed them to strengthen this new ethnic group... Every race always needs to eat, they mutate What will you eat after you gain wisdom?”
The expressions of the onlookers changed drastically.
"Of course, I think this is a bit of a conspiracy theory. It's hard to express it openly, but it makes me look like a villain. Others just make one mistake and get on the line... so I didn't mention this matter to Sanniang." Zhao Changhe continued Said: "But there is something that happens later that I really don't understand."
Hai Qianfan asked in a deep voice: "Which one?"
"Commander Hai Changkong said that there are spies among the pirates. They already know the location of the new base where the pirates will move... This is outrageous. This period of time is really not long. It will take you several days to move. This is what you guys As soon as we moved to a new place, we immediately sent people to report to the Marine Commander that we were safe so that we could deliver the information in such a timely manner - if we just moved to a new place and someone sneaked out of the ship and left immediately, and none of you could find it, then what on earth would the pirate group have? Survived to this day? Is Uncle Hai going to tell Sanniang that you are a waste and that you are here today only because of luck?”
Hai Qianfan stopped talking.
Zhao Changhe said: "So I have reason to suspect that the one who reported the message was not a spy, but you yourself. Even the method of reporting the message was not by sending a ship, but by the so-called sea people who transmitted the image. Your message speed is far faster than that of ordinary people. This Perhaps this is the main reason why you have not been wiped out by other forces in the East China Sea for more than ten years, but have become more and more prosperous. Otherwise, it is too dreamy for the pirate group to develop better than other countries... You are basically the official royal pirate group of Penglai. , the split back then was just a show.”
He paused and sighed: "I want to believe what you just said: 'The cause of this naval battle really has nothing to do with what you two thought.' Perhaps it is true. The cause of this naval battle is that Penglai began to close the line. Take advantage of this great opportunity of "Poseidon's Proclamation to Suppress Bandits" to unify the Eastern Sea."
This time even Hai Changkong couldn't help but sigh: "Wonderful. Is there anything more?"
It looks like I’m a fan of the book and I still want to hear it.
"Although there is, I don't know anymore." Zhao Changhe said: "Penglai wants to unify the East China Sea, and the Sea Emperor will not agree. This involves the game between the Dragon King and the Sea Emperor. Some of you listen to the Dragon King, and some rely on Going to Poseidon has created a very psychedelic situation... Sanniang and I accidentally got involved, and because of Sanniang's identity, your tendencies have changed and become even more bizarre. Yes, I’m not a roundworm in your stomach, so how can I know? Now that I’ve told so many stories, can you please explain it to me?”
Hai Changkong laughed loudly: "If all the characters in Middle-earth are like this, I will hide in the sea for the rest of my life and don't go up there."
At about the same time, far away in Penglai, the Dragon King Hai Pinglan was receiving Xia Chichi, the saint of the Four Symbols Sect, and the two parties were drinking and talking.
I don’t know how much he said before, but Xia Chichi’s expression at this moment was as dumbfounded as the crowd on Dong’an Island: “Sanniang is your daughter?”
"She didn't tell you?"
Xia Chichi scratched his head: "I joined the religion late, and I haven't met Master Xuanwu very often. These things have indeed not been told to me. Er, no, I doubt that Master Suzaku didn't know either. Before I came here, Master Suzaku The author didn’t even mention it.”
Hai Pinglan chuckled: "She doesn't recognize me and doesn't want to talk about the past. Aren't you the same?"
Xia Chichi narrowed her eyes: "Your Majesty knows my affairs very well?"
Hai Pinglan said nonchalantly: "The Wang family guessed it, I think it's almost the same."
Xia Chichi admitted very bachelorly: "I don't recognize him because he is not worthy. Why does my uncle disown you?"
"Because I am not worthy either." Hai Pinglan said calmly: "I personally suppressed her, sent people to hunt her down, and told Changkong to kill her without mercy. If you kill her, maybe the prince will be yours."
