When the small boat returned with a full load, and with the help of others, all the rescued people were transported to the big ship, the deck under Xiao Han's feet, which had just seemed a little empty, finally became lively!
Countless men with bloated bellies lay huddled together, coughing and vomiting could be heard all the time.
And that's not all, those Tang soldiers who have killed a thousand swords are walking among these people. Whenever they find someone who is drowning seriously, they start to roll their eyes, and they will immediately stretch out their big feet and step heavily on these people's stomachs.
It wasn't until the man screamed and spat out a long jet of water that they gave up, took their feet back with satisfaction, and continued looking for the next unlucky guy.
As the leader of these people, the young man was also rescued at this time.
However, compared with those poor drowned rats, his clothes were still dry.
This is not because he has great water skills and has learned skills such as Qinggong and floating on the water, but because Xiao Han specifically asked his men to open their nets for him and rescued him before the ship sank, and only then did he save his life.
What little dignity he had left.
"Tell me, should I call you Young Master Xunfu? Or should I call you Young Master Wu?"
Looking the young man up and down, Xiao Han seemed to be meeting an old friend for many years. He didn't look as tense as he should have when seeing an enemy.
"Winning king or losing bandit, follow Xiao Hou to call him." The young man was also looking at Xiao Han at this time, paying no attention to the noise around him. There was a complex expression of either resentment or unwillingness in his eyes.
He is really unwilling!
This kind of unwillingness is not the kind of unwillingness that he always loses to Xiao Han! Because the other party has such an immortal weapon, there is no shame in losing to him!
What the young man is unwilling to accept now is that he is obviously only two feet away from Xiao Han. He can strangle Xiao Han's neck with just one leap. However, because there is one more person beside Xiao Han, one more person can catch Ba Niu with his bare hands.
Crossbow is so ruthless! This change caused him to not dare to make any move even if he was standing in front of Xiao Han!
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the young man's hanging palms trembled slightly. The next second, he immediately felt two real eyes stabbing at him!
At the same time, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart! It seemed that as long as he made a slight move, he would fall into a situation of no return!
"I wonder how Xiao Hou could be so elegant and come to the sea to talk to a villain?" The stiff palms slowly relaxed. Although the young man had been talking about success and defeat, he still felt bitter at this time.
Smiling, he slowly asked.
Now, he is no longer confused and anxious about his life and death!
Because the young man thought clearly: since the other party had gone to such great lengths to "invite" him to his ship, there was no chance of him being hacked to death with a single knife!
"You are very smart!" Xiao Han looked at the young man and replied approvingly.
As soon as the young man got on the boat, he began to carefully observe the changes in this man's expression. When he saw him slowly change from nervousness to relief, and then from relief to being free-spirited, he knew that this man could no longer control himself.
Seek a break!
In this world, he is not afraid of young people going crazy, let alone breaking away. The only thing he is afraid of now is that young people want to die!
Because if that was the case, why did he bother to spend so much money? Why didn't he sit around the stove at home and bask in the sun in the middle of winter, but why did he go to the sea and be blown by the cold wind!
"I already know all the things you have committed on this sea these years." The corner of his mouth raised slightly, Xiao Han stared at the young man and said word by word.
The young man didn't say anything, and even the expression on his face didn't change much. Now that things have come to this, we are fighting for each other, and life and death only depend on each other! In this case, whatever I say is nonsense, it is better to listen to Xiao Han's words
mean.
"To tell you the truth, I have something that I need a smart person like you to help me with. Are you willing?"
After giving the young man an appreciative look, Xiao Han crossed his arms and continued to ask with a smile.
When the young man saw this, he also responded with a smile to Xiao Han: "Haha, do I have a choice to refuse?"
"Well..." Xiao Han shrugged: "It seems not!"
"..."
The young man was not surprised at all by Xiao Han's answer. His eyes flickered a few times, and finally he just let out a long sigh.
No one in the world knows the crimes he committed on this sea better than him! However, even though he has committed such a heinous crime, the other party still refuses to kill him, and instead wants to give him a task. This shows that
, this task must be extraordinary! It is definitely not something that ordinary people can accomplish.
After thinking about this clearly, the young man was shuddered and subconsciously raised his hand: "What are your orders, Marquis Xiao? If you can make such a battle, this matter will probably lead to a narrow escape from death!"
"Ahem, it shouldn't be a narrow escape." Xiao Han coughed twice, and said with a slight guilt in his tone: "I just want Mr. Wu to go to a place and bring back some seeds. If I can get these seeds back, the previous grudges will be solved."
It can be written off in one stroke!”
"Seed? Settle the grudges?"
Hearing Xiao Han's purpose, the young man was slightly startled, but he quickly realized that he absolutely did not believe that there could be such a beautiful thing in the world, it was even more exaggerated than pie in the sky!
How many shameful things has he done secretly over the years? If the emperor knew about this, Ling Chi would have qualified ten times, and there would be no room for detours!
But now this young prince wants to wipe out his grudges. Isn't this really a trap?
"I wonder where this place is? What kind of seed is it? It's not an exaggeration to think that it's a priceless treasure that can make Xiao Hou so calculating."
"It's not a priceless treasure. There are a lot of these seeds out there, but they're not worth a penny!"
"Then why doesn't Xiao Hou get it himself?"
"A little far."
"how far?"
"It's about twenty-eight thousand miles from here to the east!"
"hiss……"
Twenty-eight thousand miles! What number is this?
The ancients often said that reading thousands of books means traveling thousands of miles. It can be seen that traveling thousands of miles at this time is a person's lifelong goal! Now Xiao Han actually asked them to go 28,000 miles away to find Laoshizi seeds? Isn't this crazy?
What!
"Does Xiaohou know how far it is twenty-eight thousand miles?"
Looking at Xiao Han in disbelief, the young man felt that even if he was a prisoner, he should have a little bit of dignity, right?
Now that you have fallen into the hands of the other party, it is up to you whether to kill or scrape! But it is too unkind for you to tease yourself like this!
Twenty-eight thousand miles? If you really want to run this far, are you not afraid of running to the end of the earth and stepping into the endless illusory space?
