HCB Chapter 127 First meeting
Chapter 127 First meeting
Acai looked towards the direction of the island. Amid the huge roar in the night, he could only see faint flashes of fire.
He murmured in a low voice, "Everything Eminem said is true. It's all true."
"Over there, they are playing tricks on us again. They have never treated us as their own people. After so many years, when will this unprovoked disaster end?"
"It would be fine if you didn't let us go home, but why did you play tricks on us? Why did you give us hope and then shut us out..."
He had never experienced anything of the older generation, but he had heard a lot about it from his grandparents.
He clenched his hands into fists, and the others on the boat panicked, "Uncle Cai, what should we do?"
"Acai,"
Just when everyone was panicking, the roar stopped and soon the sea returned to calm again.
The sky lanterns continued to rise in the night sky, and the islanders on the ten warships felt uneasy.
"Acai," someone asked in a deep voice, "was it Chu Gou who did it? If nothing works, we can fight them."
"spell?"
Someone responded with a trembling voice, "What are you fighting for? The lives of your parents, or your children and daughter-in-law?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes became red and the tall men couldn't help sobbing.
At this time, the singing started again, but each line of the song sounded extremely noisy.
Ah Cai clenched his fist and said, "Go call the leaders of Gaodi Island and Lang Island. We're all going to die anyway, so the worst that can happen is we'll just have to fight it out."
After a night, the day began to dawn.
Acai and the leaders of the other two islands have already discussed and decided to send five warships to Nanye City to explore the way first.
The rest of the people returned to see whether Chu Gou kept his promise.
Not long after the warship sailed, Acai and others were stunned by the scene before them.
"Acai?"
Someone asked in a trembling voice, "Yes, is it Xiaguo?"
Ah Cai took a deep breath and looked at the huge ship in the distance. He closed his eyes and said, "Stop the ship."
On the opposite sea, more than a dozen huge three-decker passenger ships were slowly advancing towards them. The strong sense of oppression made Acai and others hold their breath.
He ordered the five ships to come closer, and everyone stopped sailing and waited for the opposing ships to approach.
Qianqian was riding on Erdan's back and standing at the bow of the boat.
[Tongzi, was the trick you used yesterday useful? ]
The system groaned, [Uh, maybe this has the opposite effect.]
[Little Princess,] the system hurriedly explained, [You can’t blame me for this, you know, some details of the melon, I can only eat them when I get close.]
[Okay,] Qian Qian was helpless. She had no intention of blaming Tong Zi at all. Okay, [When have I ever really blamed you? Tell me, what happened?]
[Alas,] the system was relieved, but also a little sad, [the ancestors of these islanders were once played by the mayors of Zhou Ling and Nan Ye.]
【Playing?】 Qian Qian frowned, 【How to play?】
[It was the city lord who ordered the word to spread, saying that they would accept the islanders to return home.]
[However, when the islanders arrived at the city gate with their families, they refused to open the gate for them with various reasons.]
[Later, instead of opening the city gate, they invited some nobles to shoot the islanders outside the city gate for fun.]
【asshole.】
[It's really a jerk, so the islanders would rather survive on the island in recent years than return to Daxia. ]
[Although the older generation is no longer around, these stories are still passed down by word of mouth among the islanders.]
[In short, they hated the State of Chu very much.]
[It's not much better for Daxia either. They just can't and don't want to return to their roots.]
[Alas,] Qian Qian's shoulders slumped, [Who could have thought that such a thing could happen.]
[Yes, when Daxia was founded, it was still in chaos, and everything needed to be rebuilt. The nobles at that time did not take the lives of the common people seriously.]
Qian Qian thought about it and asked the warship to stay where it was and wait.
She asked Li Rui, "Brother Rui, can our torpedo warship deal with the five Chu warships on the opposite side?"
Li Rui picked up the telescope and observed it carefully.
He raised his head and looked at Qian Qian, "Princess, it's OK. The Chu warships on the other side are all badly damaged and don't seem to have much killing power."
Qian Qian nodded, "Got it. Tell everyone to be careful and stand by. If the other side suddenly attacks, don't be polite."
"Princess," Li Rui said worriedly, "What do you want to do?"
Qian Qian smiled at Li Rui and said, "Get on board."
Dahua had changed into armor. She stood beside Erdan with a spear in her hand, looking heroic and valiant. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I'll go with you."
"Of course we have to," Qian Qian raised his head and looked at Li Rui again, "Start the boat."
Li Rui took a deep breath and said, "Yes."
He immediately turned around and told everyone to stand by. The thick steel gun hole on the bow of the torpedo warship was slowly extended and pushed out, aiming at the opposite warship.
The torpedo warship slowly approached, and Acai clenched his fists nervously.
Soon, he saw clearly a huge white dog standing on the bow of the warship that was shining with cold light.
The warship on the other side came closer, and Ah Cai and the people around him took a deep breath, "Is it... a wolf?"
"It's a wolf."
Exclamations rang out one after another, and everyone saw the two little girls riding on the white wolf.
Qian Qian gently rubbed the soft hair on Erdan's neck. When Zhanchuan could clearly see the people on the opposite side, she asked the system.
[Tongzi, who is that person opposite? ]
[The tall, dark-skinned man in the lead is called Acai, and he is the boss of Xiangrui Island. The middle-aged men on his left and right are the bosses of Gaodi Island and Lang Island.]
Acai clenched his fists and stared at the little girl who was about the same age as his daughter.
What was that sound just now?
The two ships were close to each other, but how could the voices be so clear?
Besides, besides the girl's voice, there was also a strange...
Acai swallowed hard and tried to look calm.
[Little Princess,] The system prompts, [Lord Ma has taken control of Xiangrui Island and captured some soldiers from the Chu State.]
[They planned to take down the Chu people on the other two islands in one fell swoop.]
When Ah Cai heard this, his eyes suddenly went dark and he could not stand. On the one hand, he did not quite believe what the voice said.
It’s hard to say what kind of evil magic the other party was using.
Huh, princess?
Since you are a noble person, there is nothing good about you.
On the other hand, he hoped that what the voice said was true.
[Tongzi,] Qianqian turned his neck, [I want Erdan to jump onto the opposite boat, is that ok? Is it safe?]
The system considered it and said, "Yes," he said proudly, "Our sister Hua can deal with those people."
【OK. 】
Qian Qian ordered the warship to get closer and patted Erdan on the side of his neck, "Erdan, calculate the distance and jump onto the opposite ship later. Can you do it?"
"Roar."
This earth-shattering roar scared Acai and the others so much that they shrank their necks.
Erdan glanced at the opposite ship with his icy blue eyes, then turned and walked to the inside of the deck.
Just when Acai and others were confused, the white wolf, which was bigger than a horse, suddenly moved.
I saw it running faster on the deck, its snow-white fur swaying violently in the sea breeze.
Its face was so cold that it scared Acai and the others so much that they retreated unconsciously.
Bang!
Erdan landed steadily in front of Acai, who was less than two arms' distance away from the white wolf.
He was so scared that he clamped his legs together and tried to stay calm.
The white wolf stopped walking, shook his head proudly, and stood up straight, staring at the group of terrified people opposite him with disdainful eyes...
