Chapter 128: 3 Islands
On the warship, Acai and the others were stiff all over. They were so frightened by the white wolf in front of them that they dared not move, and even their breathing was cautious.
Cold sweat broke out on his back, his heart was beating like a drum, and his eyes were fixed on the white wolf vigilantly.
Suddenly, the white wolf moved.
Acai and the others were so scared that they hunched over and stretched their hands forward in a defensive posture.
The white wolf shook its fur and quickly lay down on the ground, with its big head resting on its right front paw and its left front paw covering its nose.
[Uh, Tongzi,] Although he had a guess, Qianqian still wanted to confirm it, [What happened to Erdan?]
system……
[It thinks the person opposite it stinks. ]
Ah Cai...
Money money...
Dahua closed her eyes and shook her head. Who would have thought that Erdan was a wolf with mysophobia.
Thinking of this, he jumped off Erdan and protected Qianqian closely.
Acai and the others were startled again by the sound of the big flower falling to the ground, and they all shook violently at the same time.
Big flower...
They stopped looking at the white wolf and looked warily at the girl in red armor in front of them.
The girl had a slender figure and looked no more than a dozen years old. Although she was wearing armor, her intimidation was far less than that of the white wolf in front of her that was covering its nose.
Everyone secretly took a few deep breaths to calm their panicked heartbeats.
Qianqian also jumped off Erdan's back. Now she also smelled the fishy smell on the deck. The smell was really strong.
She put her hand into her bag, took out a huge face towel, walked in front of Erdan with her back to Acai and the others.
Ah Cai had a strange look on his face as he watched the seven or eight-year-old girl wrap the white wolf's nose with a big red scarf.
Everyone...
Qianqian was a little confused by the girl's behavior. After helping Erdan wrap his nose, he turned around and looked at Acai.
"Ahem," she pretended to be an adult and cleared her throat, "I am the Princess of Daxia. Are you the people of Xiangrui Island, Gaodi Island and Lang Island?"
Acai frowned, looked at the people around him and did not answer.
Qian Qian shrugged, "Are you willing to return to Da Xia?"
Seeing that the person on the other side didn't answer, Qian Qian felt a little uneasy, [Tongzi, are they okay? ]
【Little princess, they don’t trust you. 】
The closer you are, the clearer the sound becomes.
Ah Cai finally looked at the two girls in front of him. He bravely took a step forward and said, "Xia Country has abandoned us for so many years. Why should we surrender just because of your words?"
Qian Qian frowned, [Tongzi, they are really against Daxia.]
[Yes, probably because the previous lesson was too painful.]
[Alas, that's right. After all, the damage caused is too great. ]
Qian Qian nodded, pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "I got it."
She clapped her hands and said, "Since you are unwilling to return to Daxia, I will take Xiangrui Island, Gaodi Island and Lang Island as my fiefdom."
As she spoke, she nodded heavily, very satisfied with the idea, "Although I am the eldest princess of Daxia, I don't have my own fiefdom yet."
She thought for a moment and said, "Think about it yourself. If you become a citizen of my fiefdom, I can give you a monthly salary."
[Tongzi,] she hurriedly asked, [How many people are there on the three islands in total?]
【The total number is 3,751.】
Qian Qian nodded, [How much is the monthly income of the shops given by the Queen Mother? ]
[Little Princess,] The system is disappointed, [You should stop being so lazy, money, how much do you earn every month...]
[Ouch, answer me quickly, I'm in a hurry. ]
Qian Qian crossed her arms and shook her head. Her son Tongzi was becoming more and more like his old father.
The system sighed, [Every year, your mother and father will buy some manors and shops for you and Sister Hua. The monthly revenue of your shops is about 50,000 taels.]
[This is just an estimate. Monthly income is different.]
Qianqian's eyes lit up, but Acai felt bitter in his heart. This was the noble man.
[Yeah, then even if these people don't do anything, I can still support them. ]
[Yes, but how could the little princess let them do nothing? There are many treasures on those three islands.]
[Oh?] Qian Qian raised his lips, [When we get to the island, tell me more about it.]
Ah Cai was listening attentively, but the people behind him started whispering.
"Take it as a fiefdom?"
Ah Cai felt complicated, "We need to go back and discuss it."
"Okay," Qian Qian waved his hand.
She pointed at the warship behind her, which shone silver in the sun. "It carries countless torpedo bombs. Your broken ship can be destroyed with just one torpedo bomb."
"Remember," Qian Qian's expression turned cold, "don't act like a demon."
But my inner voice asked, [Tongzi, can we trust those leaders on the other side? ]
[Little princess, Ah Cai is trustworthy. He grew up with his mother, has no evil intentions and is an honest person.]
Qian Qian nodded.
[However, the temporary leader of Langdao, Ashu, is in collusion with the Chu people. ]
[He accepted the money from the Chu people. This time he and his brother were responsible for keeping an eye on Ah Cai and the others.]
[If they don't fight hard or run away when they attack Nanye City, then Ah Shu will be responsible for killing them.]
[Also, this Shu had also been attracted to Acai’s wife before, but Acai’s wife thought Shu had bad intentions and didn’t like him.]
[Ah Shu holds a grudge against this matter. If we hadn't done the Kongming lantern thing this time, Ah Shu would have killed Ah Cai last night.]
Ah Cai...
He slowly turned his head to look at Ashu who had a righteous look on his face, and began to panic unconsciously.
He, does he want to believe it?
Feeling watched, Ashu tilted his head to look into Ah Cai's eyes.
The moment their eyes met, for some reason, Acai believed it.
Qian Qian's eyes lingered on Ah Cai and Ah Shu's faces, and after a moment, he said, "Someone come here."
A man with his face covered by an evil ghost mask suddenly fell onto the deck.
Everyone was shocked again.
Qian Qian ordered on his own, "Go and send a letter to Uncle Ma, saying that we will go to the island together later, and ask him to gather all the people on the three islands to..."
Seeing the little girl hesitate, Ah Cai couldn't help but speak, "Xiangrui Island, Xiangrui Island is the largest of the three islands."
"Okay," Qian Qian looked at Ah Cai with a smile, "Let's gather all the residents of the three islands to Xiangrui Island."
After giving the order, the secret guard left like a ghost.
Dahua patted Qianqian on the shoulder and motioned Qianqian to look at Acai and others.
Qian Qian followed Sister Hua's gaze and realized that these people were skinny and wore tattered clothes. Although they were all men, none of them were particularly strong.
They are all skinny, just bones.
It can be seen how difficult their living environment is. Qian Qian took a deep breath and said, "We have supplies on the ship. Someone will send food over later."
She paused and said, "Do you want to do it yourself, or do we do it?"
"We do it ourselves."
Ashu quickly answered.
Hearing that there was food to eat, everyone's faces relaxed a little. Chu Gou was not a good person, and the dry food they brought with them on this trip was pitifully little.
At this time, I was already starving.
Qian Qian glanced around and saw some people in the crowd with doubtful expressions. She smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm giving you the food. It's up to you whether to eat it or not. Your lives are of no use to me."
"However," Qian Qian pointed at Ashu and others, "this one, this one, and that one," and pointed at more than a dozen people at once.
Dahua was like a flash of red lightning, with nimble movements. Anyone Qian Qian pointed at would be subdued within three breaths.
Without waiting for anyone to question, Qian Qian spoke in a cold voice, "These people are connected with the State of Chu. I will interrogate them carefully. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed without mercy."
