Chapter 720: Compare

White waves beat the rocks.
There are many ships on the sea, you can't see the head at a glance.
In the semi-outdoor dock, iron chains and pulleys made a harsh rubbing sound. The dock door was like a huge mouth, and sailors carried wooden barrels and wooden boxes from the huge mouth and carried them onto the big ship like a long dragon. The spare asphalt, tar, turpentine, and even cables, anchors, winches, bolts and nails of various materials in the box, in short, as long as the dock can be dismantled and taken away, almost all valuable things are rolled up air.
There are also some scrapped cargo ships run aground, with a variety of styles, most of which were looted by the Red Flag gang and can no longer be used. The craftsmen attached to the boat frame and keel piers like swarming ants, and dismantled the good wood from the boat.
"Old Xu, what flag is on your head now?"
A man with two legs resting on the keel, with a beard in his thirties, asked the silent bald head opposite.
"Black Flag, we are going to Annan."
"Ha, my luck is better than you. I want to go to Borneo. I have relatives living there and I heard that my life is good."
The bald old Xu pulled out an iron nail, feeling a little sad: "I'm apart this time. I don't know when I can meet each other?"
"spit."
Beard spit out the sand that was poured in by the sea breeze in his mouth: "Do you think you can go to India? How far is Borneo? Isn't it this sea? Isn't the Tianbao leader said? Within three years, we must be back."
"I'm afraid I fed the mosquitoes in Annan, three years later."
Old Xu gave each other a white glance.
"No, I'm afraid that you are more likely to be fascinated by Chick Annan."
Both of them laughed out loud.
The entire port is busy, and inexplicably depressed.
Zheng Xiu stopped for a while. When she was a child, she often played in the dock. This beach was her paradise. Once, she took the fishbone toys, copper armbands, conch and colored stones she had collected for a long time as treasures and buried them under an abandoned Manila ship that was stranded. As the result was high in the evening, even she herself forgot where she was buried. Tianbaozi led some people to dig it and couldn't find it most of the night.
Later, Madam Ten said that the child was too weak to bury herself, and she must have been washed away by the tide. Xiu'er cried loudly. Tianbaozai went to the shallow water booth and touched it for several days, only to get her a silver arm back. The ring is the one on her wrist now.
The pirates boarded the fleet one by one, food, fresh water, some emergency medicines, and daily necessities have been loaded onto the ship. Bottles and cans that could not be taken were either broken or discarded.
The entire island was empty, there was nothing left.
In front of the port, the supervisor's nephew Nong spotted Zheng Xiu and took the initiative to come over and say hello.
"Lord Xiu, are you here? Tianbao dragon head is waiting for you on the ship of Shenlou."
Zheng Xiu put his gaze on his nephew Nong's face: "I know, I will go now."
On the top deck of the boat, Li Yan soaked in the bamboo tip that Lantau people used to drink while listening to Sohail's boat statistics report.
Nowadays Sohail has a tall waist and can speak well. He speaks fluent Chinese with a Minnan accent, messes with two shiny moustaches, and in his deep-set eye sockets, two blue pupils shimmer.
Six years ago, while still working in the East India Company, he encountered Tianmu crossing the sea and was captured by the Red Flag Gang, because he knew some magic technology to save his life. Because he offended the rich and powerful, Sohail had no future in Europa. He joined the pirates and made a fortune with the help of the tiger skins of the Red Flag Gang.
"There are about 300 intact ships docked at the port of Lantau, but in fact, one and a half are small boats within six meters. The remaining large ships are also traditional pure ships that the East India Company eliminated as early as the end of the last century. Sailing power. Speed ​​and agility are relatively low. Fortunately, we have purchased a large number of live seawater turbines from SkyBoost over the years, which greatly improved the performance of the ship. But I must warn you, SkyBold.
Sohail looked serious: "The seawater turbine is a technology that has already been eliminated in Europa, and many companies have ceased production. If even the Pasteur laboratory stops producing seawater turbines, the performance gap between us and the East India Company will be further widened. It will be more difficult for us to fight against the government coalition forces in the future."
"Discontinued?"
Li Yan put down the tea cup.
Sohail shrugged: "In fact, not only seawater turbines, but all companies in the live application field of Europa are not doing very well. Our Lantau Island has been the largest buyer in the seawater turbine market for three consecutive years."
Speaking of this, he also sighed: "Once, the entire eighteenth century was the golden age of live applications. Herron’s highest masterpiece, the seven major ships, and the core technology of four large ships belong to the field of live applications."
"However, after entering the new era, due to the lack of new marine species and water samples as research samples, the entire live application of Europa has stagnated and is gradually marginalized. The technical level of mineral energy science has advanced by leaps and bounds. Nowadays, all-iron-clad warships with practical propellers have been fully developed. Occupying the market, they are more powerful, cheaper to build, and can be mass-produced. There are a large number of old devices similar to seawater turbines that no one cares about. The future of the ocean belongs to armored ships and coal. Now most of the laboratories and companies for live applications have turned to Human body modification and medicine have been introduced. I think it’s only a matter of time before the production stops."
Li Yan's ears moved, Zheng Xiu's footsteps ranged from far to near, and he said to Sohail: "I see, you go and rest first."
Sohail bowed to Li Yanshen, and he happened to see Zheng Xiu at the top of the stairs, and his eyes lit up: "Ah, hello to the leader."
"Good Uncle Suo."
Zheng Xiuying gave a gift.
Sohail's hippie smile wanted to say something, so Li Yan gave a stare before leaving in grief.
"sit."
Zheng Xiu and Li Yan sat side by side. The port in front of you is neatly displayed with hundreds of large sailing ships, guarding the two Lin's treasure ships headed by the Shenlou ship, each forming a huge triangular array, and the fierce red flag is as bright as blood under the sea breeze.
Li Yan moved his stiff neck: "I want to talk to you alone, and ask your people to leave first."
Zheng Xiu was shocked, her face as if nothing had happened: "I don't understand what Tianbao brother said..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yan stretched out his hand to pop out a drop of writhing trouble, where it was Zheng Xiu's shadow.
"what!"
A black man wearing a bowler hat fled from Zheng Xiu's shadow, and he leaped over two meters high with his right face covered. A big silver spear flew out from nowhere, hit his waist and knocked the man out of the sea.
Zheng Xiu walked quickly to the railing and looked down for the man's trace.
"He can't die, sit back."
Zheng Xiu had to sit back next to Li Yan.
Li Yan raised the water cup, only to realize that it was empty. He put down the cup dullly and asked, "Yin Shu saves life, Yang Shu increases blessing. I call you Xiu Yang Wan, how many have you repaired these years?"
"..."
Zheng Xiu picked up the water bottle, filled the water cup, and lowered her head to answer: "There are seventy-two Yangshu techniques, and I have now reached the thirty-sixth technique. Golden Gladiator and Purple Jinzhan have practiced better, and the rest can only be said. It looks like."
Golden Gladiator can use spells and flames to transform into a magical spirit that can be driven by humans, while purple marigold is a healing holy technique for flesh and bones.
Li Yan came with interest: "Oh? Let me have a look."
Zheng Xiu drew a fire fold from her cuffs and blew a breath at the burning head. Her hands were sealed, and the flames bloomed between her two index fingers, a halo the size of a fist, about dozens of them, which could be vaguely seen in the light group. To the baby holding the knee.
Taiping Wenshu·Golden Wrestler.
Li Yan looked at it for a while and took a sigh of relief. The light black mist swallowed the light ball at once. Zheng Xiu exclaimed, and the fire in his hand went out.
Li Yan shook his head: "Tell me to see how Zijinling is hot again."
As he said, he took off an extraordinary flame-colored dagger from the table, unzipped his sleeves and exposed his arms, the blade was swiped straight down, the flesh and blood blossomed, and the splashes of blood stained Zheng Xiu's hair.
"Come."
Zheng Xiu bit her lower lip, she stood up, buried her hands in her sleeves, and whispered for a while. The narrow wound on Li Yan's arm was suddenly covered with purple trumpet flowers, covering all the wounds.
Zheng Xiu took out a copper bell and shook it. The trumpet flowers withered and withered. The wound on Li Yan's arm with the fleshy skin healed completely, leaving only a shallow scar.
Taiping Wenshu·Purple Marigold.
Click~
The superficial scars didn't know this anymore, but they were torn apart again, and the blood flow continued, making them more tragic than before.
Zheng Xiu panicked for a while, chanting the purple marigold spell several times, and sweat oozes from her forehead.
"Okay."
Li Yan's muscles tightened to restrain the wound, and he fell off his sleeve.
He handed the flame dagger on the table to Zheng Xiu: "This Changjin is your uncle's weapon. When will your purple marigold heal the wound left by this weapon, it will be better repaired. Sixth. In the year, the fisherman who changed Zhang He also gained fame. With your talent, you shouldn't have only this level. You are distracted by other things."
The words were a bit heavy, Zheng Xiu hung her head in despair, her eyes flushed.
Li Yan took another sip of tea and lowered his voice: "Have you secretly practiced the aversion technique over the years?"
Zheng Xiu said nothing.
"That is there?"
Li Yan's voice was lowered a bit: "I am tired of defeating others and hurting myself. I can't let you follow Shi Niang's footsteps."
"But my mother never said that I am not allowed to cultivate."
Zheng Xiu argued in a low voice.
"Your mother never said it, but I did."
The atmosphere gradually tightened.
Zheng Xiu took a deep breath: "I have practiced, but don't you also practice alchemy? I don't think it is different."
"Stopping Surgery is more vicious than Taiping Yin Surgery. At first, Shi Niang asked her to get blood from her spine. If I was not there, would you do it?"
"If Lantau Island is all gone, just do it."
Zheng Xiu stared at Li Yan's eyes.
Li Yan was startled, not angry, but weakened.
Both of them stopped talking for a while.
"Sit down first."
Zheng Xiu turned away from Li Yan, but sat down anyway.
"I said before, I did something wrong."
Seeing that Xiu'er did not respond, Li Yan said: "You asked someone to send back to Annan's Ruan Zhengwu, I just saw it."
Xiu'er looked up, her face pale.
"I asked my nephew Nong. The one who fell into the water just now was called Ruan Zhengyuan, a well-known stranger in Annan. He practiced the vine shadow supernatural technique, which is known as hurting the shadow. Ruan Zhengwu can make a human skin mask and knows the bone art and the phantom spell. , Even women and children can be faked. These two people are very famous in Annan, and what do they call... ghost fox fur?
"You dare to summon the red flag leader behind my back to discuss the matter in the martial arts hall. I thought at the time, if I didn't show up, how would you end up? I only knew when I saw that fox fur. Did you want him to impersonate me?"
"me……"
Zheng Xiu wanted to say something, but couldn't say a whole sentence after choking for a long time. A finger suddenly lightly placed on her forehead:
"Only this time, not as an example,"
Li Yan sighed and fiddled with the teacup: "How good you were when you were a kid. Buying a bunch of candied haws or a rattle will make you happy. It's not easy to coax now.
After speaking, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zheng Xiu: "Everyone is even."
Zheng Xiu held the tea cup and begged softly, "Can you not kill Brother Ruan?"
"I didn't say to kill them, but the right hand of that fox fur is gone. It's none of my business. My nephew Nong brought him to see me. Who knew he would shake when he saw me, and I cut my right hand without saying anything. Broken, saying that I won't be disguised ever since."
After a pause, Li Yan's conversation turned: "Before Shishi, you took this boat to go south to see Lin Ajin in the Lanfang Republic, and the knife will accompany you. If everything goes well, I will go to you."
"But, the government..."
"Of course I have a way."
Oooooooooo~
The pirate with the red scarf on his head blew the horn more than half a meter long. Interrupted the conversation between the two.
More than two hundred boats displayed flags at the same time, and the red flag on Lantau Island actually had four colors of black, white, yellow and blue.
"The time is up. I don't have time to care about you." Li Yan took out a creamy white meat ball and stuffed it into Xiu'er's arms: "Keep it self-defense. When you get to Borneo, be a thought."
Zheng Xiu frowned, and subconsciously squeezed the meat ball in her hand, like a bird or a chicken?
"What is this?"
Zheng Xiu asked.
"Uh, alchemy."
Li Yan stood up and walked to the edge of the fence. The shouts of the mountains and the tsunami resounded through the sky, and the faint clouds and the rolling east wind gradually rose.
