Chapter 100

Cao Ke's spirit was shocked, and he said to the servants outside: "let the long brothers go to the living room to have a rest. I'll clean up and see them."

"No!" The servant answered and turned down.

Black tea eyebrow slightly wrinkled: "brother Ke, how did the Dragon brothers find you here? Do they want to join our Cao family? " After all, Hong Xiu followed Cao Ke to participate in a big contest. She had heard about the long brothers for a long time. At the same time, Hong Xiu also knew that Cao Ke had a heart of love for talent, and it was urgent to accept the long brothers. Therefore, Hong Xiu was surprised and excited by the long brothers' sudden visit.

"It's hard to say whether we should take refuge in the Cao family." Cao Ke shook his head: "Long Yi told me before that the reason why they came to Dabie was not that they wanted to prosper by Dabie, but that they had another purpose. This purpose even had something to do with our Cao family... I don't know much about the detailed information. I will have to wait until I have met them before the final result will come out..."

"So..." red tea thought for a while: "do you want me to accompany you to see the Dragon brothers? If I'm here, I can give you some advice or something, or I can just report it to the old master and let him go to see the Dragon brothers directly. "

"Don't rush to inform grandfather first." Cao Ke denied the proposal of red tea: "the Dragon brothers said that if they want to see me, they must have deep meaning. I'll go to see them first, see what they say, and then make a decision... As for you, you'd better stay here to take care of Xiao yu'er. After all, Xiao yu'er is still in the stage of healing."

With that, Cao Ke stood up, patted Hong Xiu's shoulder gently, and then looked at Liu Hongyu. He just pushed the door open and rushed to the living room quickly.

When Cao Ke came to the living room, the long brothers had been waiting for a long time. From their expressions, they didn't show much anxiety. On the contrary, they drank tea casually and talked about something easily.

"Two dragon brothers! I'm so sorry. There are so many things in the house that I've kept you waiting for a long time! " As soon as Cao Ke entered the door, he put on a smiling face and walked with great strides towards the Dragon brothers. As he walked, he stretched out his hands.

Long Yi and long Si, seeing Cao Ke coming, immediately got up and held out their hands to hold Cao Ke tightly.

"Master Ke is very polite. Our brother just arrived for a while! However, young master Ke, you have taken time out of your busy schedule to meet our brother, which makes us very flattered! " Like Cao Ke, the Dragon turned his mouth and began to talk about the scene.

On the surface, the three people seem to be just right, but in their bones there is a feeling of being out of place. This kind of feeling is just like the feeling when politicians from different countries meet on the earth. How can we say that? It's hypocrisy from inside to outside!

Cao Ke noncommittal smile, pointed to the chair, said: "two please sit down, please sit down, what's the matter, let's chat slowly."

After the long brothers took their seats, Cao Ke sat on the throne step by step, slowly picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for himself, did not speak, and began to enjoy the tea.

After a short time, long Si couldn't sit down for the first time. Teng stood up and said: "master Ke, what do you mean? My brother sincerely came here. You just gave us the whole scene. Now that you have been sitting down for so long, you don't speak and ask us what we are doing here Is it in your heart that our brother's rash background is not worth mentioning at all? "

After hearing what dragon four said, dragon one said angrily: "old four, what are you talking about? Where does Master Ke mean that? Don't make amends to master Ke as soon as possible

"No harm!" Cao Ke waved his hand: "brother long, we don't talk in secret in front of the people of Ming Dynasty. I don't know what happened to your brother's visit. Under such a premise, I can only adopt a more hypocritical official way of communication. I feel very sorry for the sense of alienation brought to you. However, I will compare my heart with my heart, I know you'll understand what I'm doing... Right? Brother long

Long nodded: "I can fully understand that when master Ke did this, it was our sudden visit to the Cao family. When master Ke didn't know the truth, he treated us in this more official way. It's nothing to blame..."

Cao Ke smell speech is very satisfied with the grace of a, no longer words, continue to pick up the hands of the cup gently taste a mouthful.

Looking at Cao Ke who didn't care, long Si's heart can't help indignation. He whispered to Long Yi: "brother, Cao Ke obviously doesn't take us seriously! When did you and my brother suffer such a dislike? If it wasn't for the task, i... I really want to go up and punch him! "

Longyi secretly raised his hand to stop Longsi: "fourth brother, why don't you use your brain to think about the problem? Why does Cao Ke greet you and me like this? Don't you want to take the initiative in our business? Now, it's the Cao family that we ask for. As long as we can finish the task, it's worth getting angry! "

"In addition, from my little contact with this Cao Ke, it can be clearly seen that this Cao Ke is not a dandy with no merit like the rumor. His city and wisdom are not under your elder brother and me... Next, when we talk about things, you'd better cut in! Don't really fall out with master Ke just because of your fighting temper

Dragon four helplessly point a head: "I listen to big brother! Big brother won't let me make a sound. I won't make a sound even if I'm killed! It's just... It's just that I don't like this guy. Can I turn around and not look at him later? You talk about your... "

Longyi glanced at Longsi and whispered, "whatever you want! Don't disturb my plan

With that, Long Yi ignored long Si and turned to Cao Ke, who was sitting on the table. With a clasp, he said in a respectful voice, "young master Ke, you are a pleasant person. I won't beat around the Bush, so I'll be frank."

Cao Ke put the cup down on the side table and said, "I've been waiting for you to say..."

Long Yi sorted out his thoughts. After half a quarter of an hour, he asked seriously, "don't you know if master Ke has ever heard of the Hai clan?"

"The sea people?" Cao Ke can't help but be slightly stunned. Two days ago, Tang Yun, his Royal Highness Prince Jingyun of Tongtian Empire, talked about the so-called sea people in longyikou when he passed Wanghai city. Although Cao Ke didn't understand it at that time, he still vaguely remembers that this sea clan seems to be being attacked by sunset kingdom. Prince Jingyun went here in the hope of mediating the conflict between the two sides. In order to protect Prince Jingyun's safety, Cao Hong, Cao Ke's elder brother, even accompanied by the pro unification army, has not returned.

So, longyi suddenly mentioned the Hai nationality, and Cao Ke's spirit was in a trance for a short time. Then he nodded and said, "Hai nationality, of course, I've heard of it. It's said that it's the name of a loose ethnic group composed of many tribes living in an archipelago more than 100 nautical miles away from Wanghai city... Oh! It occurred to me that just because you two came from the Hai nationality, when you took part in the contest, you filled in the origin of "Hai village". Hai village and Hai nationality originally meant the same thing! "

"Master Ke is clever!" Long Yi habitually praised Cao Ke, and then, with his eyes fixed on Cao Ke's face, said seriously and slowly: "I and long Si'er are from this sea people! To be exact, we are from a relatively powerful tribe among the sea tribes, the sea priests

"Sea priest?" Cao Ke repeated with some doubts: "I really haven't heard of this."

Long Yi waved his hand: "it's very good that master Ke can know the sea people. He hasn't heard of the sea priest, but it's reasonable..."

"The Hai people, just as young master Ke said before, are divided into many tribes of different sizes. Usually, these tribes go their own ways, and each tribe has its own patriarch. Only after a big event happens to the whole Haizu will the heads of all ethnic groups sit together and obey the unified command of the chief. "

"The so-called chief, who is re elected every five years, is basically assumed by the tribal head of the Haizu, who has relatively strong overall strength. At ordinary times, there is basically nothing. Only in extraordinary times, can he stand up and lead the Haizu through difficulties."

"Now, the chief of our sea clan is my father, the head of the sea priest clan, long tengkong!"

When Cao Ke heard this, he nodded his head unconsciously: "so, they are still young clan leaders! It must be very important to be able to dispatch two young clan leaders at one time. Now I really want to know what happened when you came to Wanghai city and tried every means to attract the attention of the Cao family? "

"Don't be impatient, young master Ke." The Dragon leaned forward slightly to make himself more formal: "if you want to make it clear, it will take a long time..."

Cao Ke picked up the teacup beside him, held the bottom with both hands and raised it in front of him. He said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. No matter how long the words are, we have to say one by one that I have time. Let's have a chat while drinking tea." With that, Cao Ke saluted the Dragon brothers and tasted the tea slowly.

Instead of picking up the tea cup as Cao Ke said, long continued to narrate in a heavy tone: "no matter which tribe of the Hai people, they are almost always with the sea for life. The vast sea, just like the mother of our Hai people, breeds us, raises us and accompanies us. We Hai people are willing to spend our whole life with the mother of the sea, Until I die

"But there are countless hidden treasures in the vast endless sea... If there are treasures, there are people who are greedy for them! These people can be called adventurers in a good way, but pirates in a bad way! And the so-called sunset kingdom is the biggest pirate country

"All along, the sunset Kingdom has been traversing the sea through their powerful navy. Except for the giant things like the Tongtian Empire, they dare not move. Other groups living in the sea have to act according to their faces, including our sea people of course..."
