Nanchen Zhongtian died, Ren Tiantang recovered, and Xiao Chen earned... five battleships.
He cooperated with Ren Tiantang to kill Nanchen Zhongtian, so they naturally wanted to share the spoils.
The two parties settled the matter easily in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. Ren Tiantang was extremely grateful to Xiao Chen and didn't know how to repay him.
So in addition to Silver Island, take away all the warships, personnel, food, gold and silver... as long as you can take away Xiao Chen.
This means you can't take Silver Island with you, otherwise it can be yours.
Xiao Chen was not that greedy. He only wanted five battleships and some soldiers who were willing to fight with him, leaving the rest to Ren Tiantang.
Paradise Island is located on the east-west route, and its geographical location is very important. It not only has commercial value, but also has strategic significance.
Xiao Chen doesn't know where the situation will develop in the future, but no matter what, having a strong friend here will be of great benefit to him without any harm.
At least this can be considered a retreat.
Although Ren Tiantang is a woman, she is definitely a hero among women, so Xiao Chen is very willing to be a very good friend with her, even if it costs a lot...
Overall, this is a happy ending.
The only person who was unhappy was Shangguan Qiji.
The first displeasure was that Qianye Ling refused his request to go to Yanyun County with him, choosing instead to stay on Paradise Island as Ren Tiantang's attendant.
He also said that the life-saving grace cannot be repaid in this life, and I will definitely repay you when I get married in the next life... I may not be able to be a cow or a horse in my next life!
Speaking of the second one being unhappy, it really pisses me off!
When he was setting up the Four Elephant Formation, didn't he pile a small gold mountain on the west side of the yard to support the power of the white tiger?
But at that time, he was so preoccupied with saving Qianye Ling that he forgot to dig out the big gold brick inside. When he remembered to dig it out again, there was no bird in the gold brick!
Everyone he asked told him they didn't know, so forget it. What made him most miserable was that the hundreds of gold coins he had won from setting up a gambling game outside the Paradise Bar were gone!
Not one left!
Fu Yan said that he must have been patronized by a thief. It's your fault too. If you put so much gold under the bed, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving it to the thief for free?
You see, I always carry my money with me...
Shangguan Qiji said: Who the hell would have thought that something would be lost here?
Fu Yan said that what you said was wrong. Have you forgotten where this place is?
A paradise for robbers and a paradise for bad guys, it’s a den of thieves!
We've been showing off a lot these past two days, and we've been secretly noticed by countless thieves. We might lose things even if we're not careful, not to mention you being so careless.
Shangguan Qiji, who had lost both his life and wealth, did not want to live anymore. He threatened to jump into the sea as soon as he boarded the ship. I will fight with anyone who stops me unless you return my gold to me.
I now suspect that he is a thief. Except for Xiao Ye, my brother, you are all suspected, I tell you!
The biggest suspect is Ling'er, which is also well-founded, because after he won the gold coins, Ling'er asked him for dozens of coins to play with, but he didn't give them, and Ling'er was very angry at that time...
This little girl is the worst. In fact, what can’t she do?
At the farewell banquet, Ren Bijiang saw him alone in the corner. He was unhappy and asked Shangguan brother what was wrong with him. If you have any trouble, just tell him. As long as he can help, I will be fine!
Shangguan Qiji said that I had just lost a fortune, so Shangguan was unhappy. If you want to help me, young island master, just give me one thousand eight hundred taels of gold.
Ren Bijiang laughed loudly when he heard this, "Brother Shangguan, you are really good at joking. How can a first-rate hero like you care about gold and silver?"
I think it’s because of that woman Qianye Ling, right?
But I'm really sorry for this, and I can't help you because she doesn't want to go with you, so we can't force her, right?
The extremely clever Ren Pijiang only guessed half of it right.
Before parting, Ren Tiantang had a secret conversation with Xiao Chen for a long time. As for the secret content of the conversation, no one except the two of them knew...
Except for Shangguan Qiji.
After the fleet went to sea, Shangguan Qiji was still depressed and was alone on the deck in a daze.
"Fat man, do you really want to jump into the sea?" Xiao Chen walked over with his hands behind his back, "You won't do it for such a small amount of gold."
It sounds a lot like schadenfreude.
"Nonsense!" Shangguan Qiji said, "Is that a matter of gold? I am missing Miss Qianye."
"That's not the case. As the saying goes, a melon that is forced is not sweet, and there is no grass anywhere in the world..." Xiao Chen comforted him.
"Hmph, you boy's feelings are like those of a full man but not those of a hungry man!" Shangguan Qiji said.
"Where did you start talking about this?" Xiao Chen expressed surprise.
"Don't think I don't know Ang! Are you having an affair with that Ren Tiantang? Look into my eyes and answer me!" Shangguan Qiji stared into Xiao Chen's eyes and asked.
"I'm very sorry for your wording!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "What is adultery? It can't be feelings?"
"I'm surprised. You're not as capable as me, not as tall as me, and not as handsome as me. Why do so many girls like you?" Shangguan Qiji thought Xiao Chen was just an ordinary person.
How can I be so outstanding?
"Fat man, let me ask you something, who do you think Ren Bijiang looks like?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"Ren Bijiang? Who do you look like?" Shangguan Qiji didn't pay attention at all.
"That may be my illusion, but with so many people in the world, it's not surprising that some of them look alike." Xiao Chen shook his head, thinking that he might have seen it wrong.
"Let's put it this way, I really feel that he looks a bit familiar, but I can't remember it... What are you guys doing so sneakily? You want to assassinate the king and kill him!" Shangguan Qiji was mid-sentence when he suddenly shouted at him.
There was a loud shouting on the deck.
But it was Saji Zuoyama, Saburo Yokowatari, and that ninja.
These three people were really lucky. They survived being besieged by the men in black robes, and they all surrendered together.
Logically speaking, they should be killed, but Qianye Ling asked Xiao Chen to intercede on their behalf, saying that although their martial arts skills were average, they were all brave and capable naval officers. Aren't you going to fight with the Ross people? They must be
I can help you.
Lord Xiao Chen was in large numbers, so naturally he wouldn't care about such a small character, and it was the time to hire people, so he kept them all.
The three of them were greatly grateful and vowed to do their best to be loyal to Xiao Chen in the future...
"No, no, no, we are here to ask Mr. Shangguan for advice." Saji Zuoyama waved his hands repeatedly and said a little embarrassed, "We heard that Mr. Shangguan is not only powerful in martial arts, but also has superb medical skills..."
It turned out that the three of them came to ask Shangguan Qiji for help in healing his injuries.
Ordinarily, we should look for him, because their injuries were all caused by Shangguan Qiji himself.
At first, we didn't dare to come to him, but after checking their injuries, the medical officers on the ship expressed that they were helpless.
