Chapter 522 Dongshan Island(1/2)
Zhang Changgong said disdainfully: "He has to force him this time."
Tan Ziming said: "I guess he will slip away midway."
Luo Lie said: "The most important thing for us is not him." In fact, for people like Chen Haodong who are extremely ambitious, shattering of disillusion is the greatest pain. Now he has basically no hope of becoming the leader of the sect. After Jiang Yunxiu was robbed, his various behaviors angered Jiang Shaoxiong. Regardless of whether Jiang Yunxiu can return safely, Jiang Shaoxiong will not let him become his son-in-law, which means that Chen Haodong cannot get his support. Chen Haodong wanted to silence Yang Chao and offended Liang Zaijun, who had always been loyal to him. This time, Chen Haodong chose to board this ship in large part because he lost the support of Zhenwu Sect.
Luo Lie believes that Chen Haodong cannot cause any storm. The one who really needs to be vigilant is Bai Yunfei, who has never appeared in public.
Luo Lie said to Shao Wei: "Brother Shao, at our current speed, how many people can arrive at Dongshan Island?"
Shao Wei said: "Two days, up to three days. I have notified the gang leader before that there will be no problems on Dongshan Island."
Luo Lie handed Shao Wei the nautical chart marked with latitude and longitude. Shao Wei had actually seen it, but he still took it and looked at it and said, "In the southeast of Dongshan Island, there are many islands, dozens of them are large and small."
Tan Ziming said: "There is a name on it, it is called Python Jiao Island."
Shao Wei smiled and said, "I have been in Dongshan Island for so many years and have never heard of an island with this name nearby. However, since it has accurate latitude and longitude, it should be possible to find it."
The sound of sparrows came from a distance: "Luo Lie!"
Luo Lie smiled at her and signaled her to wait. Zhang Changgong said, "You go, don't mess with women."
Luo Lie laughed, and he came to the side of the sparrow. The sparrow pointed to the bow of the boat. The two walked side by side to the bow of the boat. The sparrow said, "Why should I bring Chen Haodong with me?"
Luo Lie said: "Jiang Yunxiu is his fiancée, so it is normal for him to participate in this matter."
The sparrow said: "Aren't you afraid that he will make trouble secretly?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I'm afraid he has a thief heart but no courage."
Sparrow said: "Why did you suddenly take on this task?"
Luo Lie said: "Tan Ziming asked me for help, but I can't refuse."
Sparrow said: "This is a bit strange. How did he know that you are good at this kind of thing?"
Luo Lie discovered that after he came back this time, the sparrow became suspicious and had a skeptical attitude towards everything around him. Of course, he was an exception. Luo Lie said: "He is the son of an old friend. I told him about the adventure of me in Tianmiao that year. Maybe this is the reason."
Sparrow said: "You are so smart, there is no need for me to remind you, but Ye Qinghong specifically told me that she wanted me to take care of you when she was away, so I stared at you."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I asked you to take care of me, didn't you ask you to monitor me?"
Sparrow said: "I am a promise. Ye Qinghong is worried that you will run away suddenly and leave for three years. If you disappear strangely again, how can I explain to her then?"
Luo Lie said: "No, I won't leave again this time no matter what."
The sparrow said: "You are cruel and your wife and children are just thrown away. You follow Feng Jiuqing. By the way, where have you been to these three years? When you went to the West Sea, how could you appear in the Pale Mountain? Could it be that there is a secret passage between the West Sea and the Pale Mountain?"
Luo Lie said: "You don't believe it if you say it."
Sparrow said: "How can you know I don't believe it if you don't say it?"
Luo Lie said: "I can tell you, but you must not tell others."
The sparrow widened her eyes and nodded seriously: "Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone."
Luo Liedao: "The Nine Dings you are studying are actually equipment to start the space-time channel. I followed Feng Jiuqing into the West Sea to start the space-time channel. I was sucked in, and then I followed the space-time channel to the future society more than a hundred years later."
The sparrow seemed to have heard a fantasy. She thought Luo Lie was just teasing her. She squinted her eyes and said with a suspicion: "After you reaching that era, are all of us dead?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Only you are still alive."
Although Sparrow thought his words were incredible, he still aroused a lot of interest in the future he described. He asked, "What did I look like when I was old?" After asking, he said, "Forget it, you'd better stop talking." What else can he do when he is old? He must be an old woman.
Luo Lie smiled and said, "It's very kind and very friendly."
The sparrow said, "Don't say it!" and then said, "Do I have money?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "Very rich!"
The sparrow breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is almost the same. By the way, I... am I lonely?" A hundred years later, I am afraid that few people can survive by themselves.
Luo Lie said: "No, you have a grandson and a great-granddaughter."
The sparrow said in surprise: "I'm married? Who did I marry?" She looked at Luo Lie and had already made a vow in her heart that she would be single in this life, but where did the grandson and great-granddaughter come from? Her thinking became chaotic, and she blushed and said, "You deliberately lied to me."
Luo Lie said: "You have never married for life, and you adopted the child." At this point, he suddenly felt sad. The reason why Sparrow chose to be single should be himself. In the time trajectory he once went to, he never returned after he disappeared. In fact, there is no need for Sparrow to choose to be single, and she doesn't owe him anything.
The sparrow nodded and she whispered, "I never thought of getting married." After saying that, her face blushed to the bottom of her neck. She realized that she shouldn't say this in front of Luo Lie. Isn't this mean indirectly expressing her feelings to Luo Lie? They are already married and have children.
Luo Liedao: "Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life."
The sparrow responded, and Luo Lie's words resolved her embarrassment. Yes, people have the right to choose their own lifestyle. What's wrong with choosing to be single? It's better to have nothing than to be abusive. If you force yourself to find a man to spend it, wouldn't it harm others and yourself?
Chen Haodong pushed open the cabin door and walked out. His eyes subconsciously narrowed because he could not adapt to the strong sunlight outside. Soon he discovered Luo Lie and sparrow not far away. It happened that Tan Ziming asked Luo Lie to go over and discuss the next action plan.
Chen Haodong hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to walk towards the sparrow. From the sparrow's expression, she could already see her disgust for herself.
Chen Haodong said: "You go too!"
Sparrow said, "Just treat it as a sightseeing trip." She looked at Chen Haodong and said, "Your face is not good."
Chen Haodong sighed and said, "Because of Yun Xiu's affairs, I haven't had a good rest these days."
The sparrow said: "Why didn't you see it in the past? You are actually a saint."
Chen Haodong knew that she was mocking her and said softly: "Everyone has a time to have true feelings, so don't you treat the same person with the surname Luo."
The sparrow looked at him coldly and said, "Don't compare me with you, you and I have never been a member of the same place."
Chen Haodong said: "Of course I can't compare to you!"
The sparrow said: "You have done so many bad things, but you dare to get on the boat this time. Are you afraid that we will avenge Uncle Fu?"
Chen Haodong said: "I didn't kill him, why did I have to frame my things I haven't done before?"
Sparrow said: "Uncle Fu was not wrong back then. You are a man with great ambitions and lack of ability."
Chen Haodong said angrily: "Enough!"
He couldn't scare the sparrow, and the sparrow said, "You dare not stay in Huangpu because you are worried that you will encounter an unexpected accident if you stay there. You offended Governor Jiang and Zhenwu Sect, and now you are betrayal of your relatives."
Chen Haodong was exposed by the sparrow, and his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to do anything to the sparrow. He gritted his teeth and said, "The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. You can say whatever you want. I don't care. I don't have to see you."
Sparrow said: "It's just that you made the wrong plan. Chen Haodong, I warn you, if you dare to do something on the way, I will not let you go first."
Chen Haodong sneered: "Do you think I will be scared by you?"
Sparrow said: "Anyway, you're dead, you have nothing to be afraid of. By the way, do you know where this ship is heading?" She lowered her voice and said: "Dongshan Island, when you get there, it will be your death!"
Chen Haodong was really scared when he learned that they were about to go to Dongshan Island. He originally expected to have the opportunity to escape from the gunboat on the way, but judging from his current situation, it was almost impossible to slip away from everyone's noses. Now, he can only take one step at a time. There is nothing wrong with the sparrow. Anyway, he is dead, so what's there to be afraid of?
The calm journey to Dongshan Island was just in line with Cheng Yufei's blessing. Tan Ziming was meticulous and meticulous. When he was actively preparing for this adventure, Luo Lie spent most of his time bathing in the sun on the deck, regulating his breath and resting. Since returning to this era, his body has not yet been fully recovered. Luo Lie had a premonition that this adventure should not be calm all the time, and he might face a dangerous test. He always involuntarily linked this adventure with the last time Bai Yunfei asked him to find the illusion of the illusion, and even suspected that this time was also related to Bai Yunfei.
Chen Haodong was sick, and at first everyone thought he was pretending to be sick, but after the diagnosis of the doctor on board, he was indeed sick, and it should be because he was not accustomed to the local environment. However, Chen Haodong's symptoms were not the same as the common local environment. The latter usually manifested as vomiting and diarrhea, while Chen Haodong always had a high fever. His temperature reached 41 degrees, which made everyone wonder whether this guy would die on the ship. However, his condition improved on the third day, and his temperature gradually began to return to normal.
Except for the doctor on board, no one cares about Chen Haodong's life or death. According to Sparrow, this guy is also a waste of food when he lives in the world.
They have successfully entered the control of the Hailong Gang. The Hailong Gang, which was notified in advance, sent two small boats to guide the way, because the sea routes leading to Dongshan Island are full of reefs, which are extremely complicated. If there is no one familiar with the terrain, you may encounter an accident.
Tan Ziming and Shao Wei stood at the bow of the boat. Although there was a small boat leading the way in front of him, Tan Ziming still did not dare to take it lightly. After several days of contact with Shao Wei, he was already very familiar with him and smiled and said, "Brother Tan, don't worry. If we have our people leading the way, there will never be any mistakes."
Tan Ziming said: "To be honest, I was in the army when I joined the army, and my experience at sea was really pitifully rare."
Shao Wei said: "On land, you only need to focus on your opponents, and at sea, you must be prepared for storms that may come at any time and ubiquitous reefs."
Tan Ziming smiled and said, "The Hailong Gang dominated the East China Sea for so long, and the leader of the gang is also an amazing hero."
Shao Wei sighed: "If it weren't for our gang leader, the Hailong Gang would have disbanded long ago." He patted the railing with both hands and said: "The gang leader actually had the heart to wash his hands with golden basin, but in a chaotic world, if he had washed his hands without doing it, how would so many of our brothers make a living? What's more, the world's weak prey on intrigue, and who can tell the good and evil clearly."
Tan Ziming nodded in agreement and said softly: "Don't worry, after this mission is completed, I will explain this matter to the supervisor and strive to promote cooperation."
Shao Wei was overjoyed. If the cooperation was really successful, the Hailong Gang could get rid of the title of pirates from then on and become a legitimate military organization, and he also made great contributions.
A large area of mist appeared in front of him, and the ship leading the way signaled them to slow down. Shao Wei said: "It's coming."
Tan Ziming said: "Why does it suddenly fog suddenly?"
Shao Wei said: "This is the weather in this area, and it is covered with mist for more than half a year."
Tan Ziming thought to himself, no wonder the Hailong Gang was able to stand firm when he encountered bandit suppression many times, which was related to their geographical location. Going forward, the fog gradually dissipated, and the sunlight shone directly from the air, illuminating the entire sea surface, like millions of koi leaping on it, making people dizzy. A group of islands suddenly appeared in front of them, and in the center of the group of islands stood a cone-shaped island like a bunker on the sea. This high island is Dongshan Island. Dozens of small islands are scattered around Dongshan Island. These small islands surround Dongshan Island like stars arching the moon, and at the same time divide the vast sea surface around Dongshan Island into waterways.
These waterways vary in width and narrow. A sluice gate is set up in the widest waterway. Large ships must pass through the sluice gate to pass. There are bunkers and watchtowers on each island, which can be called a maritime fortress.
When Tan Ziming saw the scene in front of him, he knew why the Hailong Gang was able to repel and clear away again and again, and he has stood tenaciously on the East China Sea.
At this time, Zhang Changgong's burly figure appeared on the deck. He waved his arms to the distance, and the sluice slowly opened. The largest pier on Dongshan Island was already full of people coming to greet him. One of the beautiful young women smiled and shouted loudly: "Husband! I'm here!" She is Zhang Changgong's wife Hai Mingzhu, and the treasured daughter of Hai Liantian, the leader of the Hailong Gang.
Zhang Changgong showed a honest smile on his face, and saw his wife's heart that was indescribable warmth and happiness emerged.
Luo Lie came to Zhang Changgong and patted his shoulder. Suddenly, the sound of cannons shook the sea and the sky came from the island. Tan Ziming's heart sank, but he immediately reacted that the cannon was not to attack them, but to welcome them.
With nine guns, Shao Wei introduced to everyone that this was the highest courtesy for Dongshan Island to welcome guests.
It was only now that Tan Ziming learned that Zhang Changgong was actually the son-in-law of the leader of the Hailong Gang. He felt relieved. With these people helping him, why worry about not being able to succeed in this mission?
The sound of cannons woke Chen Haodong up. He suddenly sat up from the bed and was filled with cold sweat. His only subordinate said, "Mr. Chen, you have arrived in Dongshan Island. Don't worry, what you hear is the sound of cannons."
Chen Haodong gasped and said, "Pour glass of water for me."
His subordinates poured him a cup of warm water and brought it over. Chen Haodong grabbed the cup and gushes it down. After drinking one cup, he asked for another cup. Only then did he feel that his sense of hunger was slightly relieved.
His subordinate said: "Mr. Chen, are you feeling better?"
Chen Haodong nodded and said, "Take the clothes and I'll change them. I'm probably going to get off the boat."
