Chapter 979 Chapter 979
"Since it is a weapon, you can finish it all after it is destroyed. Why didn't she do this? Instead, it will cost so much manpower and financial resources, and you even have to wander on the sea for many years and hide the Flanger cannons at the sea?"
After hearing what I said, the Iron Face King glanced at me.
At that glance, I couldn't tell whether it was indifferent or cold, and I even saw a little bit of ridicule.
I was stunned by his glance.
However, he did not answer my question, as if he was disdainful to answer such questions. He turned his head coldly and looked at the vast sea in front of him. The continuous ups and downs of waves stretched towards the sky, making our journey seem turbulent and strange, and the future is unknown.
Feeling the strange coldness on him, I hesitated for a long time and didn't ask any further questions.
The sky gradually darkened.
The thick clouds above the head turned into dark twilight, as if someone always sprinkled a handful of thick ink into the sky. The ink slowly settled down, turning the sky, the four fields, and the endless vast sea under the sky into a deep twilight.
At this moment, suddenly, a strange gurgling sound broke the silence on the deck.
I was stunned for a moment, and the Iron-Faced King turned his head to look at me with a slightly frown, and then looked down at me. His smiley expression immediately became vivid, and I suddenly turned red.
I have never asked Xue Muhua before, how long it has been since they rescued us on the boat, at least for most of the day since I woke up, and I haven't gotten in, so no wonder my stomach protested.
The iron-faced king smiled and said, "Are you hungry?"
I was a little embarrassed and smiled embarrassedly.
"You go back to your room, I'll have someone give you food."
I nodded and was about to go back obediently, but as soon as I turned around, I heard the sound of several boatmen suddenly speaking loudly from the bow of the ship in front. One of the men with dark faces and messy heads ran over and said loudly: "Brother, look ahead!"
The Iron-Faced King frowned, immediately held the fence and leaned forward to look.
I also stopped and turned around and looked forward.
The dusk became deeper and the sea of sky was almost gray and black, becoming a whole dark curtain. In the dark distance, some flashing light spots appeared faintly, rising and falling with the ups and downs of the waves.
What is that?
I subconsciously frowned and leaned over to look. The Iron-faced King looked like a rook, as if he had already understood it, and sneered: "Trouble stuff."
The boatmen said one after another: "I'm here to block our way."
"It seems that there are many ships coming."
"Brother, do we want it-"
The Iron-faced King said coldly: "Let everyone who has finished the meal come out and prepare for the fight."
Fight! These two words made me feel excited and I suddenly became nervous. When the Iron-faced King turned around and saw that I was still standing at the door of the cabin, he said, "You haven't gone in yet?"
I asked hurriedly, "Yes, are there any enemies?"
"The people from the Sea Snake Gang," he said coldly, without much care, "He is here to block our way."
I hurriedly walked up to him: "Do they come in many people?"
The Iron-faced King looked back and saw that the light spots had slowly taken shape in sight and became larger, but they were reflected from the flashing waves on the sea, so I couldn't tell who was who.
The Iron-faced King said: "Not many, just about ten small boats."
"Is it important?"
"It doesn't matter."
I looked at him with a slight look, even a little careless. Although I was worried, I also understood that he had been wandering on the sea for so many years and had fought with the Sea Snake Gang for so many years. Naturally, he knew better about the strength of both sides than me.
But, after all, I am on his ship, anything is related to my life.
Besides, what I'm more worried about is-
"What if they find the Florence gun?"
“Impossible.”
“…”
When the Iron-faced King said this, he waved his hand: "Hurry up and go into the room."
"I--"
"These annoying things are nothing to me, but I don't want to have someone who is completely helpless standing on the deck when dealing with them, which will get in the way of my hands and feet."
“…”
His words were clearly clear, and he even disliked them a little.
But, of course, it is the fact.
I could only look back at the light spot that was getting closer on the sea, and turned around and entered the cabin.
|
I walked back along the road before, but unexpectedly saw a shaking figure standing at my door, as if I was about to reach out to knock on the door, but I was a little hesitant.
I subconsciously stopped.
And he had already heard my footsteps, turned his head and saw me, his eyes flashed: "You are back."
"Why are you coming out?"
The light in the cabin was very dark. I only saw the half silver mask on his face shining with a faint light, but it made his gray sides dimly tortured by a low fever, and his lips were pale with blood. Even if I had to hold the wall to barely hold on, I said, "Come to me?"
"Um."
"Is there anything wrong?"
“…”
Although he was knocking on my door, he hesitated at this time. The two of them stood at the door and looked at each other, and they were speechless for a moment.
The one who broke the deadlock between us was a subordinate of the Iron-Meditated King. He brought some food over. When he saw us standing at the door, he frowned and said, "If you have something to say, go into the house and sit down. I'm afraid you won't be so steadily standing like this later."
After saying that, he handed me a few cold and hard cakes and turned around and left.
Liu Qinghan looked at the man's back in surprise, turned around and asked me: "What does it mean?"
I opened the door and asked him to go in and sit down, put the cakes on the table, and then said, "I just came back from the deck, and the people from the Sea Snake Gang seemed to be coming to block our way."
"Sea Snake Gang?"
Then I remembered that he had no idea what I knew, so he briefly told him about the current situation, including the matter of the Iron-Faced King. His face became more ugly when he heard it. I finally told him: "They have more than a dozen ships, which are small, but they are quite powerful. The Iron-Faced King is about to fight them."
When he heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair: "Then we-"
I said calmly: "The Iron Face King means that this is just a small scene for him. But he doesn't want people like us who can't help them to go to the deck to share their hearts."
After saying this, he understood and sat down slowly with the armrests on both sides of the chair.
Now, one of us is weak when we are sick, and the other one has no power to tie up a chicken. It is not useful to remove the deck as a target for others and cause trouble for the Iron-Faced King. It is really useless. It is better to stay in the room obediently and avoid any harm.
But, that being said, nervousness is inevitable.
I saw his hands covering the chair, and because of the force, his finger joints turned white.
He was silent for a moment and asked, "You said, is it possible that those people from the Sea Snake Gang have found it-"
"I'm so worried, but the Iron Face King said that they couldn't find it."
"He is so confident?"
I thought about it and found that although I had no confidence in his excessive self-confidence, after all, the things were in his hands and the situation was controlled by him, and only he knew the joints best. So I said, "Maybe, the things were hidden by him, and he was the most confident that others could find them."
Liu Qinghan looked at me, his eyes looking a little deep.
When I was seen by his eyes, I subconsciously frowned: "What's wrong?"
He thought for a while before looking up at me, he said softly: "Do you hope that those Florian cannons will be found?"
"Of course not."
"What I'm talking about is not those pirates from the Sea Snake Gang."
“…”
"I'm talking about us."
“…”
“Anyone.”
“…”
"Do you want those Florian guns to be born?"
I don’t know if it was because the situation outside became more and more tense, or because the sea breeze became more and more bitter, in this quiet room where only two people breathed one after another, my heartbeat became more and more violent. As if to hide the throbbing in my heart at this moment, and to prepare for the storm that I would face next, I suddenly stood up, walked to the table and picked up a piece of dry cake, and broke it from it.
The cake was completely cold and hard as a stone.
I picked up the small piece and wanted to send it to my mouth, but just after I was delivered to my lips, I turned around and looked at him with a smile: "Aren't you looking for the Folang Machine Cannons for the Emperor? You say that now, don't you want those cannons to appear? Don't you want to find them?"
He looked at me and his brows furrowed.
When I talked to him, I no longer had the previous roundabout and cover-up. In fact, at this moment, if I had to go around and cover-up, it would only make the situation less and less unfold towards the situation we were looking forward to.
He said, "What does Madam mean?"
My fingertips trembled slightly.
The cake fell from the tip of his fingers and fell onto the table.
I looked back at him and lost my voice for a moment.
But immediately, I smiled: "Why should Lord Liu repeat this?"
He seemed to be stabbed by my words, and his whole body was a little stiff. He held the handrail with his hands fixedly, and for a moment he seemed to be unable to tell what to say and do, and looked at me with a little gloom.
"Since Lord Liu has an idea, he should just say it out."
“…”
"Why do you have to ask me? Let me guess?"
“…”
"It's misleading others, but also mistaken yourself."
“…”
Immediately, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be stained by the sea breeze that suddenly poured in outside the window, and it became cold in an instant.
He was silent for a while, suddenly coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then said, "Madam... I have some words, it is necessary to explain them to my wife."
I looked at him faintly.
At this point, he stopped himself. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up and walked to the door and closed the door that was originally open. I subconsciously frowned and saw him looking back at me. His originally gray face turned paler at this moment, and even felt a little unbearable. He leaned against the door and gasped slightly.
I held the edge of the table and looked at him without moving.
The silence between the two people became more and more tense when the storm was about to come, and it seemed that they could collapse at any time.
When he spoke again, his voice was already a little hoarse, and he could also hear the obvious hesitation and hesitation.
"Madam, is an extraordinary person."
“…”
"I respect my wife very much, too-" He repeated for a long time, and in his eyes that were tortured by low fever, many emotions seemed to be visible. At this moment, he finally seemed to make up his mind, looked up at me, and said calmly: "Also--I am extremely admiring."
My eyes suddenly widened.
What did he say?!
He said he was to me—
I could hardly believe my ears, and I couldn't even believe what was happening in front of my eyes at this moment. I just felt that maybe the fight had started outside, maybe it had started to fight in the upside down, so there was hallucination in front of me, in my ears.
Otherwise, how could he say these things to me?
How could he talk to me like this?!
Just when I was so shocked by his words that he almost completely lost his reaction, he said solemnly: "I have led my wife as a confidant in the world and a close friend in trouble. Now I have spoken these words to my wife openly and honestly, and I have absolutely no intention of despising her reputation. I respect and admire her wife, and I only have this to stop!"
“…”
"I have a pearl of love to my wife, but no desire to be presumptuous."
“…”
He glanced at me, and although there was no look of annoyance on his face, he said with a bit of unspeakable embarrassment: "Before, I was on the island, and I might have done some excessive actions and excessive words, but that was an extraordinary momentum and extraordinary momentum."
“…”
"But please don't misunderstand my wife."
After saying that, he looked up at me, his eyes clear and calm.
It's like the vast ocean, the bright moon rises.
I looked at him for a while, slowly put my hand off the edge of the table, and said with a smile: "What is the extraordinary momentum and what is the extraordinary momentum? I can't understand a word."
He was slightly stunned.
"Did Lord Liu be a little confused because of the burn?"
“…”
"I only remember that I, Lord Liu, and Miss Zitong, were united and supported each other on the island, and finally got through that desperate situation and that difficulty, as for the others, I didn't remember anything."
He looked at me for a while, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Madam, he is indeed an extraordinary person."
As he said that, he shook his clothes and bowed to me: "Thank you, Madam."
I smiled and nodded lightly.
He seemed to be calmer and walked back and sat on the chair, but maybe because he had been standing for too long, he couldn't hold on anymore, and almost fell into the chair, and he was breathing slightly, but he immediately said: "Then, for those Flang machine guns..."
I said, "What does Lord Liu think, but it's okay."
He said: "It seems that such a thing is too terrible. No matter what happens successfully, it is definitely not a good tool."
“…”
"I think the best way to deal with such things is to avoid the world."
My heart trembled violently.
And just as his words finished, a deafening sound suddenly sounded outside.
Almost before we could react, we felt the hull tremble suddenly. Suddenly, all the cups and objects on the table were smashed to the ground and smashed, and he and I were knocked to the ground almost at the same time.
I almost screamed with my elbows and knees on the floor with my elbows and my squeal at the same time, both of us raised our heads and looked at each other.
Chapter completed!
