They also saw that there was actually a woman with bright eyes and white teeth who was secretly watching them. Hua Rong didn't mind as she continued to observe the terrain.

That night, everyone stayed on shore to light a bonfire and stayed overnight. Because they didn't know whether the Golden Army would chase them or not, they didn't dare to sleep. They took turns to stay up and spent the night in panic.

Furthermore, Zhou Qi had signaled early in the morning to only lead two underlings on a water boat at a very fast speed to the middle island. By then, it was already morning.

He landed and was welcomed by a few pirates. "Brother Zhou Qi, what's the matter?"

"I need to see the King Qin. I have urgent matters to attend to."

The pirates saw that he was in a hurry and did not dare delay. They immediately took him to a huge wooden house on the island.

Furthermore, ever since King Qin was firmly rejected by Hua Rong and the two of them were 'married', he knew that there was nothing he could do. With Yue Pengju by his side, and him unable to snatch Hua Rong, under his rage, a fight broke out and he was injured. He saw that Hua Rong was completely indifferent to her injuries, and even more so treated him like a cockroach or a mouse. He thought about how he had travelled thousands of miles to find his wife and the death of his subordinates, only to have his subordinates die and save her from the Jinying. He had originally hoped that he could bring her back home, but he never expected that he would end up like this.

After returning to the sea and taking a short break, he began to subdue all the surrounding small islands. Little Pirate Zhou Qi was one of them as well, they took him as their leader and started to do "business" together.

On this day, he was discussing with a group of people about how to subdue a large island that he could not subdue and refused to surrender to. At the most intense point of the discussion, the small fry on duty hurried over: "Great King, Zhou Qi has arrived."

"Send him in."

Zhou Qi hurried in, his face was full of joy: "Great King, a big deal is coming."

"What big deal?"

"A merchant surnamed Lin came to find us, saying that he wanted to pass by using the Dao."

"Oh? He just needed to leave behind some money to buy his way out. What kind of big deal was this? "What's the value of his merchant ship?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know …" Zhou Qi lowered his voice, looked left and right, the King Qin understood, and moved away, "What is it?"

"The merchant Lin's boat is not gold and silver, but it is better than gold and silver. That person seemed to be a Zhaojiaji, he was chased all the way to the ocean by the Golden Army … "Eldest brother, think about it. If we can do anything to protect our emperor, then we can get a title …"

According to Lam Shiro and Zhang Shiwu's express intentions, Lam Shiro had promised Zhou Qi a noble and noble character, someone born into a bandit family, that they would be welcomed. Now that Zhou Qi had received the promise of the Son of Heaven, he naturally felt moved too.

When King Qin returned to the sea, although he did not ask about external affairs and only wanted to occupy the area of influence, there would be people who would report to him for such an explosive event like chasing from mountain to Yangzhou. However, it was truly unexpected for Zhao Deji to be chased this far out to sea.

His heart suddenly jumped wildly. Since Zhao Deji was chased here, would he, Hua Rong, be together with him?

He focused his mind: "Is there a woman in Zhao Deji's group?"

Zhou Qi was baffled. "Who is Zhao Deji?"

He did not know Zhaojiaji's name, so he waved his hand, "Is there a woman in that group of people?"

"I only saw Lam Shiro, Zhang Shiwu, before I saw the others. King, you want a woman? "

"I have plenty of women. It's nothing, just a casual question. I'm afraid I've fallen into their trap. "

"They don't have many guards with them, and the difference in strength is huge. I saw that it was impossible for them to harm us, so I allowed them to approach the shore. As this matter is too important, I am afraid to make the decision. Thus, I am here to ask big brother about it. "

"Fine, I'll go take a look." He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Forget it. No need, Zhao Deji is not a good thing, being captured by the Bird Golden Man has nothing to do with me. Anyway, his family couldn't sit still. "You reply to them and tell them to take a detour …"

Zhou Qi hesitated. If it really was the Son of Heaven who did not rescue her, wouldn't he be sentenced to death in the future?

"Do we need to detain them? "It's better to just not do it, and not stop at nothing …"

"There's no need. There was no need to save him and no one was allowed to make things difficult for him. "Also, return the gifts they gave you. If you need them, you can provide them with some food and water."

"Yes."

Zhou Qi was very disappointed, but King Qin glared at him: "Leave Zhao Deji here and attract Golden Army. Although Golden Man is not accustomed to water battles, there will be endless troubles in the future. Furthermore, accompanying a tiger is like accompanying a tiger. If he is not careful, he will turn hostile and we will all have to move our heads. "Except for your island, you are not allowed to reveal any other islands to him, in case he escapes."

Zhou Qi did not dare defy the order. Although he urgently wanted to gain the merit of "protecting the king", but seeing that the Son of Heaven was not the almighty and noble person who lived a peaceful life, but was instead a few people who had fled, he thought that there was nothing left to be gained from it. He did not try to persuade the King Qin anymore and returned to report in a hurry.

When the King Qin saw Zhou Qi leaving, he wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, Hua Rong did not have any sort of friendship with him, so why did he even ask her?

No matter how strong the wind or rain was, it had nothing to do with him even if he died on the sea. Besides, she might not be there.

It was already half a day later than expected, so everyone waited anxiously until the afternoon before they saw Zhou Qi and a few of his subordinates rushing over. For safety's sake, Zhao Deji and the others protected Zhao Deji as he boarded the ship, leaving behind the Lam Shiro for the negotiations. Hua Rong also stayed behind.

Zhou Tong thought of the King Qin's words and looked at his in the crowd. He saw a girl dressed in a military uniform, her appearance delicate and pretty, and wondered if the person that the King Qin had mentioned was her.

Because he had been ordered to reject, he did not dare to ask too much and only turned to Zhang Shiwu and the others.

Lam Shiro bowed first: "Zhou Xianggong, has your esteemed leader agreed yet?"

Zhou Qi was a pirate, but he still called him "Hubby" even though he was respected in the current dynasty. Zhou Qi had received gifts from them, but had not completed any of the tasks, hence he was a little embarrassed. Your gifts, return as promised. "

"This is a small gift to Zhou Xianggong, there's no need to return it."

Lam Shiro was very disappointed. Even after asking a few more times, Zhou Qi still could not accept it and his tone became impatient: "Quickly, you guys find another way out. If I need it, I can offer some clear water food as well. "

The rest were helpless, they could only pretend to drink their water, Lam Shiro insisted on keeping the gifts, Zhou Qi apologised, and gave them some rations to eat.

At this time, he suddenly spoke out, "Zhou Xianggong, may I ask if your leader is King Qin?"

Zhou Qi was surprised to hear her ask. "That's right."

"Can you tell him I want to talk to him? My name is Hua Rong. "

Zhou Qi saw that she looked elegant and spoke in a refined manner. Although she was a crude pirate, Zhou Qi could not help but turn gentle: "Boss has already said it, I will not negotiate any conditions with you."

"Tell him, my name is Hua Rong. Maybe he will meet with me."

When Zhou Qi heard King Qin's question, he knew that they must have some sort of relationship. His attitude became even more respectful: "Miss, please forgive me. The boss refuses to meet any of you. "

After hearing his words, Hua Rong was even more certain that it was Qin Shangcheng. In this world, there was definitely no second King Qin.

Hua Rong was very disappointed. After being silent for a while, she said: "Let's wait for another two days. I'll trouble Zhou Xianggong to tell him that Hua Rong has something to ask of him."

"This …"

"I shall trouble Zhou Xianggong one last time. If he really does not see us, we will immediately leave. We definitely will not dare to disturb him again."

Lam Shiro and Zhang Shiwu also took the opportunity to plead for leniency: "Thank you Zhou Xianggong for your kindness, please pass this on to us."

Zhou Qi accepted their great gift, and would not accept any merits. Seeing Hua Rong's calm demeanor, he had a very good impression of them, and had no choice but to say: "Alright, I'll go and ask again."

"Thank you, we will wait here."

Zhou Qi turned around, and then the Lam Shiro said in a low voice: "Miss, you recognize the King Qin?"

"Yes."

He and Zhang Shiwu looked at each other, overjoyed.

Hua Rong shook her head: "That's not necessarily true, I have only met King Qin once. Even an enemy. In order to avoid any mishaps, the two of you will have to board the ship to protect us. It's best if you don't wait for me. "

The two of them looked at each other. Wouldn't this be a waste of time and joy?

Hua Rong saw that the two were panicking, and said: "Rest assured, both of you only need to wait for me on the boat.

"How can this be? We have to stay with you and have some help. "

The two of them did not know what conflict she had with the King Qin, but since it was like this, they could only treat it as if it was alive. They wanted to try their luck, and even though they were uneasy, they could only wait for Zhou Qi to return.

Just as he sent out the signal, he saw a sailboat parked at a secret passage. On the bow of the ship, the King Qin had his back facing Zhou Qi as he looked at the vast ocean surface.

He said in surprise, "Great King, I was just about to go look for you. Why did you come here personally? "

King Qin did not answer, but asked: "Why are you looking for me?"

"Among that group, there is a woman who insisted on seeing you. Oh right, she said her name was Hua Rong!"

Hua Rong!

It really was her.

King Qin said indifferently: "Alright, bring her to find me. Remember, only she is allowed to come."

"Yes."

"She's right in front by the sea. I'll send for her right away."

"No, take her to the island where I'm staying for the time being."

"Yes."

"How's the wind at Golden Army right now?"

"There is currently no news. A few days ago, there was a storm and Golden Man was not used to water battles. I estimate that they will not catch up soon."

"Alright, you have to increase your defense in the next few days. Stay behind to assist them, tell a reliable brother of yours to bring Hua Rong here to find me."

"Yes."

Hua Rong was leaning against a coconut tree, resting with her eyes closed. From a distance, Zhou Qi said, "Miss, my boss invites you."

Hua Rong was shocked: "King Qin is on the island?"

"No, he just sent someone to ask to see you."

"Thank you, Zhou Xianggong."

Lam Shiro and Zhang Shiwu immediately said: "We will accompany you."

However, he heard Zhou Qi say: "Wait a moment, your highness only wants this lady." He waved his hand, and one of the Vice Leader Zhou Wu walked over, and ordered: "Zhou Wu, send this lady to the King Qin."

"Yes."

The Lam Shiro sensed that something was wrong. The mysterious Pirate Head only saw Hua Rong, could it be that she was in danger? Just as he was about to stop him, Hua Rong shook her head and said softly: "There's no harm. Go back and report to the Emperor first, tell them not to worry. "

Zhou Qi wasn't sure either, so he instructed Zhou Wu in a low voice: "Send the people there, you must do your best to deal with them and ensure her safety. This is someone from the Emperor's Shangguan Family. "

"Yes."

Hua Rong had already left with Zhou Wu, but Lam Shiro finally felt that the matter was dangerous, and immediately boarded the ship. When he saw Zhao Deji, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Miss Hua Rong has left …"

Zhao Deji turned pale with fright: "Where did you go?"

"Zhou Qi said that their leader's name is King Qin, and Miss Hua Rong said that she knows this man, so she went to talk with him."

Lin Zhijie said: "Why don't you go with me?"

"King Qin indicated that she should meet him alone. Zhou Qi sent someone to send her off. "

Zhao Deji suddenly remembered that many years ago, Hua Rong had fallen into the hands of pirates and felt a chill in her heart, "Not good, Rong Er is falling into the Thief's Lair again."

Xu Caizhi was also aware of that matter, and anxiously said: "Since Miss Hua knows what to do, since she dares to go, she will not be rash."

Zhao Deji was worried in the end, so he shook his head and became even more dejected. Looking at the small island in front of him, he sighed in his heart.
