That night, Xiao Liu used every method at his disposal. It was unknown if it was Wang Jixian's aphrodisiac or that mysterious medicine that had acted on him, but Zhao Deji's blood boiled, and he felt a sense of contentment that he had not felt in a long time. Seeing that the spirit medicine had worked, Xiao Liu was pleased. In his fantasies, he became even more determined to give birth to a dragon.
During the most severe winter on land, the island welcomed another sunny day.
Groups of fish and prawns swam back and forth beside a huge protruding rock. Some strange crabs and soft shellfish swam all the way to the human's feet, unafraid of living.
The Little Tiger held a soft fish that was ready to move in its hands. It especially liked this kind of soft animal. He was wearing a soft green silk apron, and his little arms and legs were exposed to the sun.
The wet nurse ran over and picked him up. She put on a thin coat and wiped the sweat off his face. She said gently, "Good tiger, let's go back and change into a new undergarment. Look, it's wet …"
The Little Tiger laughed as it brandished the slippery fish in front of her, "No, I'm not leaving …"
A huge palm came over, and slapped his butt: "Stinky kid, you dare to disobey …"
"Abba, Abba... "Hug …" He threw himself into King Qin's embrace, and the wet fish continuously swept towards King Qin's eyes. Seeing him dodge, the Little Tiger was even more happy. It put even more effort in trying to mess with him with the fish tail, and as he dodged, the slippery fish dropped to the ground. The Little Tiger was so happy that it clapped its hands: "Abba … Fish... Abba... "
King Qin opened his eyes from the fishy smell and sighed before sitting down beside him. In front of him was a huge protruding rock. The cracks in the rock were filled with green plankton. It had been more than ten years, and the memory of that little girl hiding in this crevice was still fresh in his mind. When he found her, the wound on her chest was almost completely ripped open by the seawater. If it wasn't for the timely rescue, she would have had no chance of survival.
In the blink of an eye, the Little Tiger began to pull at the beard in front of it. It went down along the beard and its small hand reached into his half-opened clothes to feel if there was anything inside. Every time, he would find one or two toys he liked. "Abba …"
This time it was an exquisite bronze statue. He held it in his hand and spun it. The little bronze man extended his foot and kicked him. His palms ached slightly, but his smile was uncontrollable. These days, King Qin had found two wet nurses to take care of him and even arranged for two of his trusted aides to take care of his safety. Although "Sunset Island" was very safe, he still hoped that the child could receive the best protection and care.
He withdrew his gaze from the boulder and looked at the small face of the bronze doll. He was still a child after all, and after crying for a few days, he had gotten used to the fact that his mother was not around. The flying birds and swimming fish on the island all suffered as they were chased around by him all day long. Even a wild cat that he had tamed on the island had its whiskers plucked off. The novel island had become his never-ending paradise.
He played with it attentively as he raised his head to look at King Qin. King Qin's heart trembled from the look of those big, black eyes. After a long while, he muttered to himself: "Stinky kid, you don't miss your mother? "You heartless brat, how can you be so happy without your mother …"
Little Tiger head did not understand, and only focused on playing. Hearing him mention his mother, she seemed to recall her own mother, and quickly looked around, where was his mother? His mouth was flattened, and he was about to cry. King Qin's hands were under his armpits: "You useless brat, how can you always be flirting with your mother? Doesn't he look like a man? "
The Little Tiger's head started laughing, crying and laughing, and its soft arms were struggling: "Abba, Abba... "Mom …"
"Stinky kid, don't cry, I will definitely get your mother back."
"Mom, how long have you been home?"
King Qin could not answer and could only look at him in a daze. He only used his hands to caress the two long eyelashes that were filled with tears. It was unknown what kind of emotions he had in the past few days. Perhaps it was because of those eyes, or perhaps it was because of the soft body of the Little Tiger, he was like a father who was happy as he embraced his own son. Give him the best of everything and let him grow up happily. However, everything was fine, yet he couldn't give him a mother.
A pirate walked over. "Great King, Third Uncle Yang is on a cruiser, I have something to report to you."
King Qin nodded and passed the Little Tiger head to the wet nurse. Little Tiger head was unwilling to leave his embrace, so he asked. "Mommy … Where's Mom … And the Abba? "
King Qin glared at him. "Be good and listen to me, or this daddy will spank your butt."
The Little Tiger did not dare to ask, its mouth flat as it hid in the embrace of the wet nurse.
On the cruiser, seven or eight important pirates were gathered.
The King Qin entered and sat on the tiger-skin gold chair in the middle. He said in a methodical manner, "Great King, Ye Lvdayong's troops on the land need to be trained. We have to send people over immediately. "Who do you think is the most suitable?"
King Qin looked around. The participants included the old subordinate Zhou Wu, Zhou Qi and Liu Wu. He pondered for a moment, and upon seeing that Ma Su had not returned from the Fusang trade, he decided that he must protect him, and said: "Zhou Wu and Zhou Qi can accompany me on my journey."
The two of them accepted the order. Zhou Wu said, "I have another matter to report to the King."
"What is it?"
"Zhang Shiwu and Lam Shiro want to seek refuge with the King."
King Qin pondered for a moment, but did not immediately answer. The two of them were Lin Zhijie's son-in-law, the rich and powerful Lin Zhijie had previously earned a reward for saving Zhao Deji at sea. However, two years ago, when Lin Zhijie passed away from illness, Lam Shiro and the rest encountered a storm during their voyage. The goods were damaged, and they gradually fell to the ground. As the sea trade became more difficult, they invested in the name of the King Qin to achieve better development.
"Zhou Qi, what is their relationship with the imperial government now?"
"Ever since Old mister Lin's death, those two brothers had no relationship with the imperial government. Furthermore, they were extorted from time to time by the Imperial Water Army stationed at the border. Because their families had fallen, they wanted to rely on the King."
"Well, if that's the case, let them operate along the coast."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Qin looked around and said, "I have entrusted Third Uncle with the care of everything on the island. I will accompany Zhou Qi and the others."
Third Uncle Yang was shocked, and immediately expressed his opposition: "Great King, Ye Lvdayong did not ask you to go personally."
"He's worried about us, and I'm worried about him as well, considering the size of the army. So, I must kiss her. "
"But here and there. "How long will it take?"
"Ye Lvdayong and I still have things to discuss, we need to go."
Third Uncle Yang could no longer object. At this time, he did not wish for the King Qin to come ashore. With this army that had not been formed yet, if something were to happen, wouldn't they all be defeated?
With a wave of his hand, one of the lackeys brought up a red box. King Qin opened it, and inside were a few small figures of women. All of them were Li Tinglan's, and there were even beautiful words written by Li Tinglan on them.
He laughed out loud. "This woman, is simply not like the Old ghost Jeru …"
Everyone struggled to look at the portrait and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful, so beautiful …" "Your Majesty is so lucky …"
"Great King, how long did it take for the wife to get married?"
"Wait, didn't the King set a date for their marriage?" "It's just next year at noon …"
"It's almost the end of the year, it's almost time …"
"My King, if this little one has been dreaming of such a beauty, why didn't you marry her earlier?"
The pirates didn't care about etiquette. They chatted and laughed merrily.
King Qin held the small portrait, and was extremely pleased: "Good, at that time, after I marry Madam Yue, everyone will level up again …"
Everyone cheered.
When the crowd dispersed, Third Uncle Yang stayed behind by himself and said bitterly, "Great King, I do not wish for you to have any selfish thoughts …"
"What selfishness would I have? "I don't have any selfish thoughts."
"Now that Yue Pengju and his wife have been dealt with by the imperial government, I hope that you do not interfere with our plans."
King Qin was a little impatient: "Why would this daddy meddle in Yue Pengju's business? This old man had already known that Zhao Deji would kill him. I don't have three heads and six arms, how could I save them? "
Third Uncle Yang nodded, he only said in his heart, if that's really the case.
After King Qin left, he still couldn't stop worrying. He secretly found Zhou Qi and warned him in detail.
As they went ashore, the more they walked forward, the more obvious the bleakness of winter became.
Everyone was galloping at top speed. Another five hundred miles forward, the scenery was completely different from the south. Rows after rows of poplar trees were stripped of their leaves. Under the dim yellow sky, the grass was withered and the people were all barren. Over the years of war, more than half of the vitality of the North had been destroyed.
King Qin reined his horse, suddenly remembering that this was actually a "farm". That was the place where the little girl had settled down after he escaped. She had been here for six or seven years, but even after searching millions of miles, they couldn't find this place. It was only one time when Li Xing and the others accidentally passed by that they discovered her trace.
Li Xing and the others had long died under the slaughter blade of the Golden Man, and of the eighteen elite riders back then, only he was left. He looked at his elite team. None of them knew his past and the history of his marriage.
In the afternoon, everyone was tired and thirsty. In the distance, there was a grass hut with a broken chess piece floating on top of it. It had the word 'Tea' written on it.
This tea shop was still here.
Zhou Qi was overjoyed: "King, there is a tea house in front of us. Let's go have a cup of tea first and leave after we have some rest."
King Qin immediately agreed.
Everyone dismounted, and only a few people could be seen inside the tea house. King Qin walked over, and stopped ten feet away. Beside the only table sat a fat monk, dressed in black, with a full beard. His face no longer had the domineering expression of the past, but rather, he looked like a monk who had gone through great efforts of cultivation. Beside him was a large staff with the thickness of a bowl.
He actually bumped into Lu Da here again!
He walked over and sat down next to Lu Da with a heavy thud. The more he stared at Lu Da, the weirder he felt it was. He had read a lot of people in his life, but he had never seen such a strange person: his eyes revealed deep compassion, but his staff exuded a murderous aura. Tathagata had done the Lion's Roar, did Lu Da become a Buddha?
