The beach one mile outside Heyuan City stretches along the entire southeast coast and has five ports, two of which are military ports.
Since the rise of Pearl Island, it has encountered several invasions by pirates and neighboring family islands. In addition, Zhu Youfu is engaged in pearl and medicinal material business and often travels between sea and land. Therefore, the navy has recruited a total of 50,000 people. He wants to give himself It wouldn’t be much of a problem to establish a Marquis Dangdang.
However, his Pearl Island has the reputation of being a major source of medicinal materials in Zangyunjian, and he is also highly sought after among many forces, which is much more enjoyable than being a prince.
The navy did not think that they were inferior to any of the princes' troops. When joking, they even called the Jinyihou ship closest to them a lost dog, because when Pearl Island was founded, Ningjia Island had sent ships due to interests. I came to fight against Pearl Island, but was finally beaten back.
A few decades ago, there was no Jinyihou, but his surname was Ning, and he was the young island owner of Ningjia Island.
There are nine surnames in the Haixing Islands, each occupying a large island and operating their own camps. Until Ning Shao, the island owner, became famous and took over the position of the island owner. He either conquered or united the nine surnames and became the leader of the nine surnames, known as Jinyihou.
When Jin Yihou rose, Pearl Island also rose rapidly, and their military strength was about the same, so they always lived in peace.
Today, at the navy station in Peng Tau Kok, someone wanted them to surrender to Jin Yihou.
Under the starry night, the waves washed up on the beach, erasing the traces left by the big head crabs, but could not touch the bonfire three steps away.
"Okay, those cowards are too scared to come, let's just discuss it."
There are a few leaders who want to take care of both sides. They either send their men to the Island Lord's Mansion and come here themselves, or they go to the Island Lord's Mansion and send their men here.
Zhu Shanmin simply changed the conversation with them to the evening and waited for the results from the Island Lord's Mansion together.
As soon as the incident at the island owner's house came out, some people were busy saying goodbye and leaving.
Zhu Shanmin was about forty, tall and tall, with a beard. The firelight made his face look ferocious. He pointed his two fingers together with his sword at the circle of people gathered around the bonfire, "Pearl Island was sold by my bastard uncle. Changing the name to Shilaozi Yingzhou has made our lives precarious, which is really hateful!"
"Dismissal, are you willing to become nothing again?" He patted his chest and said, "I am not willing to accept it!"
"But if we want to accept the recruitment, I don't believe that the new island owner can reuse us without any grudges. When the time comes, our brothers will be scattered and our strength will be weakened. Maybe one day the sea tribe will attack the shore and ask us to be the first to die. Since ancient times, those who have been surrendered or recruited have never had a good end."
"Then what you said about surrendering to Marquis Jinyi is reliable?" The person who asked the question was Hu Chonghuan. He also knew what happened in the hall from his subordinates. He felt that the new island owner was not easy to deal with. If he really Fu Xiaoren It's up to you, maybe even the bones will be left in the trap, so you might as well try to take the risk.
"We say we surrender, but actually we do it ourselves. Jinyihou will provide us with help. As long as we occupy the island, we will cede the two hundred miles of Qishan Mountain to them." Zhu Shanmin said, "Now the Hai clan frequently attacks passing ships. Jin Yihou doesn’t dare to fight a naval battle, so we don’t have to worry about him stabbing us in the back.”
"I have collected some of the remaining forces of the navy. Currently, I have 7,000 men. Brother Tiger has 600 men. You, Uncle Lin, have 500 men. You, Captain Pan, are the most talented. A dozen patrol guards can grow into a thousand people!"
Inspector Pan, who was pointed at by Zhu Shanmin, waved his hands repeatedly, "It's funny, it's all forced by life."
"Isn't it forced by life?" Zhu Shanmin's eyes were bright, "Then we must not resist!"
"However, she is fifth on the combat power list. I heard that she can fight against ordinary mortals, and there are more than twenty foundation builders around her!" Hu Chonghuan pointed to the commanders and commanders around her, "Among us, you are included. , counting me, Lin Pan, and the seven of your navy, there are only eleven. If the thousands of people below are not dead, we will be killed first."
"Brother Tiger, don't worry, I have a plan. The foundation building of the island master's mansion will be done by Jin Yihou. We just need to act according to the situation. The first step is to gather more people, so many that she wants to kill They can’t all be killed.”
He bared his sharp teeth and said, "This person will close down dozens of towns as soon as he comes. There are many people complaining, and the people's hearts have been lost. We only need to unite the local villages and people with resentments on the island to rise up together and restore our pearls." The peace of the island!”
"Don't forget, she doesn't have many people on her hands!"
Island Lord's Mansion
"During the day, Fellow Daoist Zhou spoke generously and frankly, but he hasn't thanked you yet. It's rude."
"Island Master is welcome. Since I have joined the Day Clan, speaking for you means speaking for me. Besides, there is no need for me to speak specifically. Everyone should know that the Island Master is not someone they want to blackmail." Zhou Qian Mingqian said cautiously. .
Zhan Changfeng looked slightly relaxed after reading the last official document, and stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, can you go for a walk outside with me?"
"Of course I do."
The paths in the Island Lord's Mansion extend in all directions and are often interesting. Zhan Changfeng took a random path and said, "I am surprised that Fellow Daoist Zhou can stay here instead of just leaving like the others, and I originally wanted to send you there." Please go to the island owner’s mansion to help me handle the island affairs, I don’t want you to choose the military camp.”
Zhou Qianming suddenly realized that this was an opportunity to express his thoughts, so he did not hesitate and said, "Everyone praises me for managing a city well, but I don't know how long my cultivation has not improved. Even I think I’m going to stop here.”
"Pearl Island is broken. I also thought about leaving. I just wanted to finish things off and hand over things in the city to the new island owner. I didn't expect the new island owner to come alone. I'm glad that I was well-informed and learned about the island owner. You are on the battle strength list."
"I'm very curious. The combat power and talents of the people on the rookie list are rumored to be amazing. What's more, only those at the top of the list are the real monks. Ah, I don't doubt the island owner. In terms of strength, I just want to know what the difference is between me and the people on the list."
The former owner of the island was a person who enjoyed himself very much. He hung red lanterns with lighting stones on the corridor, and placed a few in the flowers on the grass. At night, the beams of light filtered through the green leaves and yellow flowers, creating a blurry scene that Zhou Qianming had no time to appreciate. , he couldn't stop the words as soon as they came out, and all the thoughts that had made him sleepless poured out, "What's even more incredible is that outstanding people can cross the chasm of a large realm to carry out cross-level counterattacks. It is really unreasonable."
Zhan Changfeng also expressed that his surprise was unreasonable. After all, he had become the lord of a main city on Pearl Island and had access to many things. How could he ask such a question, "Have you never come into contact with the people on the list?" The one?"
"I've had a few contacts, but I didn't feel anything special. I was even able to defeat a rookie who was ranked 70th in foundation building, but even after defeating him, I didn't make the list." Zhou Qianming recalled this incident. Sadly, I still remember that at that time he was still angrily cursing the unfairness of the three rankings. It was also at that time that he walked away to sea in anger.
Thinking about it again today, the unwillingness to accept the grievances of my youth seems to overflow my heart again.
Zhan Changfeng seemed to understand something, "Then do you know the Tao seeds?"
"Of course I know that. I remember that there were a few people who had visions of heaven and earth when they formed the Tao Seed, and it was widely circulated for a long time. Isn't the one who recently took the first place in the rookie foundation building?"
"That's right. You should also know that the rookie list is based on talent and supplemented by strength to determine the qualifications for the list. The strength list is based on strength. If your talent is not ahead of most people, your strength will also be on the list. Not on the rookie list."
Zhou Qianming sighed, "Is talent really that important? I have a middle-grade bone, and haven't I also cultivated to the perfection of foundation building?"
"This understanding is superficial. Talent is not just about the bones."
