"It sounds pretty good." Ding Shaoan said slowly after listening for a long time.
"A ditty from my hometown."
"Where is your hometown?"
Ding Shaoan asked very puzzledly.
"...You don't understand, and you wouldn't believe it if I told you."
"Okay then." Ding Shaoan sighed: "Sir, where are we going? You only have seven days."
Jiang Fan smiled helplessly: "Yes, seven days. In seven days, I will become the most unlucky person in the world being hunted by my own wife."
"How about... going to Paradise City?"
Jiang Fan glanced at him: "You are smart. But do you want to stay there forever? What is the difference between it and a grave?"
Ding Shaoan was silent.
"How about... going to sea? The Black Sail Gang has a boat and should be able to help you." After a while, Ding Shaoan came up with an idea.
Jiang Fan showed a hint of longing on his face: "It's a good idea. Do you know, I have always had a dream, I want to be a pirate, ride the wind and waves on the endless sea, break into the most violent storms, explore the world The most mysterious treasure, throw away all the shackles of the world and enjoy the most complete freedom."
What Ding Shaoan asked him to say was also a bit fascinating: "Then let's go!"
Jiang Fan sighed: "No, sea ships are different from river ships. The Black Sail Gang does not yet have the ability to go to sea."
Ding Shaoan was a little discouraged: "In this case, I am afraid that only the Three Holy Lands in the world can avoid the empress."
"Three Holy Lands?" Jiang Fan asked: "Didn't you hear what Xiaocui said at that time that if I wanted it, she would knock Taiyue down and give it to me? That poor place did not deter her in the slightest."
"Too……"
Ding Shaoan looked at him: "You still call her Xiaocui. I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who dares to call her like that."
Jiang Fan said indifferently: "She doesn't eat people."
Ding Shaoan said: "I don't know if she can eat people, but she can definitely scare people to death. Do you know why four of the five countries are kings, but she is the only one who wants to be emperor? Because of her courage, she aims to unify the world. .Because she is so powerful that even the heavens and humans are afraid."
Jiang Fan said: "That's true. That's why I was really afraid when she said she wanted to kill me."
Ding Shaoan looked at him: "You know you're afraid? I thought you had nothing to be afraid of."
Jiang Fan said: "I'm afraid that others will say that the boy asked his wife to kill him, which is embarrassing."
Ding Shaoan was speechless and could only smile bitterly: "You are still in the mood to joke, but do you know that the world is so big that there is no place for you?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while and smiled: "That's not necessarily the case. It's time for us to go see Xiaohong."
"Little...Cao Ying? Isn't she in Northern Xinjiang?"
"Yes, Northern Xinjiang, we will go to Northern Xinjiang."
Ding Shaoan shook his head: "You can't even do the Three Holy Lands. How can a Wei princess protect you? She dares to kill even a heavenly being. Besides, Northern Xinjiang is only a long way away, so it will be easy for the empress to find you. She can't hide from you." It's open."
"Hide?" The corner of Jiang Fan's mouth curled up: "Why hide? I want to go to Northern Xinjiang openly. Believe me, she won't kill me there."
Ding Shaoan was confused: "No... I can't understand it."
Jiang Fan said: "You don't understand. All you need to know is that when I deal with Barbarian, she will never take action."
Ding Shaoan looked complicated: "You know what the other person is thinking, but we can never understand. You may be the strangest couple in the world. You know each other so well, but you can't get along."
Seeing his confusion, Jiang Fan patted his shoulder: "Don't think about it, let's go and catch a boat."
Ding Shaoan grabbed the reins: "That's fine, I'll just follow you. Drive!"
Jiang Fan took out the hollow token from his pocket and waved it in a circle on his finger.
The setting sun is like blood, and the dilapidated carriage is getting further and further away.
"The Black Sail Gang is looking good." Jiang Fan looked at Jiang Qi and Alai in front of him and smiled.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Jiang Qi became more and more beautiful, and her demeanor became more like that of the leader of a gang. But he was extremely respectful to Jiang Fan.
"It's all thanks to the young master. My subordinates have reorganized the Black Sail Gang according to the young master's instructions, and now they are looking a little better. However, there were too many masters killed by the young master before, so their strength is a little bit behind."
Jiang Fan said: "This can be done slowly. If you have money, why do you still need to send people?"
Jiang Qi said: "Thanks to the young master, Wei Guo is turning a blind eye to us more and more, and even secretly started to do some unscrupulous business with us under the manipulation of Mr. Cao. Because of the relationship between Princess Changying and the second prince, they The business is booming. I made much more money than I did from previous robberies."
Jiang Fan smiled: "You can't let go of your identity as a Jiang bandit yet, but you need to quietly transform and gradually control the ferry, dock, freight, and smuggling. These are the lasting sources of wealth in the future. The Canglan River is still too small. To rob, you have to go to the sea, where there is endless wealth waiting for you to plunder.”
Alai also said enthusiastically: "Now according to the rules of the young master, we only rob some corrupt officials and some people who are unkind. But since I heard about the young master's pirates, I originally thought that the big Canglan River suddenly became better." It’s too small.”
Jiang Qi and Alai were very excited and pestered Jiang Fan to ask many questions about the sea. It wasn't until Jiang Fan became impatient with the question that he waved his hand: "Okay, okay, now it's better to accumulate strength quickly. Have you taken out Chen Laozuo's treasure?"
Jiang Qi's face was radiant: "I got it. I didn't know before that he actually hid so many treasures secretly. I have already taken inventory and will present the accounts to the young master later."
"What do I want there? You keep recruiting troops to expand your strength. Don't forget to secretly arrange for people to learn shipbuilding and navigation."
Jiang Qi nodded repeatedly: "Young Master once said that our goal is the stars and the sea. Jiang Qi will bear your words in mind."
Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Just remember. In addition, Alai wants to go with me and bring some falcons with her. I need her to help me with some things."
Alai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sir, Alai is willing to go!"
Jiang Qi also smiled and said: "There are many benefits to following the young master. If it weren't for the Black Sail Gang that couldn't leave, Jiang Qi would also want to go. Alai is so lucky."
Jiang Fan said: "Not necessarily, it may be very dangerous. Is Miss Alai willing?"
Alai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Alai likes adventure the most! Young Master, I will prepare now."
Jiang Qi couldn't help but said: "Look at how happy she is."
Jiang Fan said: "How are the two ghosts, Black and White, doing with their practice of the Mandarin Duck Twins?"
Jiang Qi said: "Sure enough, the technique is very suitable for them. They have advanced rapidly. Now they have entered the realm of martial arts masters. It is estimated that they are expected to reach their peak within half a year and become a great martial arts master."
"So fast?" Ding Shaoan was also stunned.
"Maybe it has something to do with the spiritual connection between their twin brothers and sisters."
Ding Shaoan rubbed his nose: "These brothers and sisters have excellent qualifications. I hope they can be more stable."
