Chapter 61 [Island Master]
The sea breeze on the beach really makes people feel refreshed, but Han Mo was very unhappy. Although his heart was not vicious, it was definitely not a kind heart. When he was slapped in the face by the pirate, the hostility deep in his heart was immediately aroused. Although he is still a prisoner now, he has made a secret decision that as long as he gets the opportunity and makes free his hands, this self-righteous cold glance will definitely be the target for his own practice.
"Island Lord, the island Lord is here!" someone suddenly shouted.
Soon, under the protection of two big men, an old man in his fifties slowly walked over.
This man was thin and had a pale face. When walking, the lower plate was frivolous, and it was obvious that the lower plate was unstable. There were a lot of white hair in the middle of his hair, which looked much older than his actual age. However, his eyebrows and eyes were extremely imposing. Although his figure was not very burly, his eyes were still sharp, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He must have been a majestic good man when he was young.
Everyone around looked at this person with respect, and the long-legged beauty Du Bingyue had already stepped up quickly, holding the island owner's arm, and angrily said, "Dad, you are not recovering from your illness, what are you doing? Why don't you rest in the house?"
The island owner looked at Du Bingyue lovingly, patted her arm that supported her, and said softly: "Yue'er, don't help your father. Dad is not old and can walk."
Du Bingyue was stunned, but soon understood what his father meant.
My father didn't want to show weakness in front of his subordinates. He wanted to prove that he was still the strongest man on the island and the authority on the island.
When Han Mo saw this island owner for the first time, he knew that he was sick. If what he expected was good, he would be sick.
When Leng Zhao saw the island master, she was already a little more restrained when she looked unscrupulous, but she still looked cold. She stepped forward and bowed and said, "Island Master!" The pirates who went out to sea looked at each other, all of whom showed strange expressions, and bowed, "Island Master!"
...
The island owner slowly walked past Leng Zhao, and without looking at him, he walked straight to Han Mo and Xiao Tongguang, looked carefully, and then said lightly: "Leng Zhao, your courage is getting bigger and bigger now. You dare to make a decision on the official ship."
Leng Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and she seemed very respectful on the surface, but her tone was fearless: "The island master, those pearls were picked up by the Han family, but they were to be handed over to the court. Let's bring some to support the people of the island."
"Where is the pearl?" The island owner's voice was still calm, and there was no sign of joy or anger on his face.
Leng Zhao did not answer, but gave a wink at one person. The man immediately said respectfully: "Master of the Island, you can't blame Brother Leng for this. He is also kind-hearted and wants to grab some pearls and come back. In the future, the big guys don't have to suffer. But he didn't expect that the official family has arranged so many guards. We have carefully planned and tried our best, but we still haven't succeeded. Brother Leng took us back to talk about a dog official who can exchange for silver."
The island owner said "Oh", his brows pounded, and said lightly: "Planning carefully? What plan? Why do I, the island owner, know nothing?"
Leng Zhao said, "It was Leng Zhao who saw that the island owner was in poor health for a while and did not dare to be alarmed, so he took his own initiative and led his brothers to do this."
"It turns out that I'm worried about my body." The island master suddenly smiled, turned around and patted Leng Zhao's shoulder, and said warmly: "Leng Zhao, if you have any problems in the future, you can talk to me, the old guy, maybe I can help."
Leng Zhao hurriedly said, "Leng Zhao obeys the order. This time Leng Zhao went out to sea rashly, which ruined several brothers. I hope the island leader will punish him!"
"Doing things in the sea will inevitably lead to death." The island owner smiled and said, "But since you take back two hostages, it's not a futile thing. Just be careful when doing things in the future."
Du Bingyue, who was following him, glared at Leng Zhao fiercely and couldn't help but step forward and said, "Dad, he took people to sea without even saying anything to you. Do you still take you seriously? There is no island rule in his eyes."
The island owner scolded: "Yue'er, don't mess around. Leng Zhao did this, so he naturally had his plans. The matter has passed. Remember it in the future, don't say it again."
Du Bingyue bit her lip and stomped her feet hard with her long legs, looking reluctant.
In Han Mo's eyes, he quickly understood the entanglement between these people.
There is no doubt that the island owner is now seriously ill and has lost his power. The real power on the island is likely to have been taken away by Leng Zhao. Otherwise, Leng Zhao would not have mobilized so many people to go to sea without knowing the island owner.
But the island owner's power is still there, and Leng Zhao still dares not be too presumptuous in terms of face.
As for the long-legged beauty, she was the daughter of the island owner, no wonder everyone called her "maid". Han Mo was thinking about now whether this lady was the "mermaid" mentioned by Huo Qiuyuan. But depending on the situation, it was probably her.
It seems that the island with more than 300 people is also full of internal conflicts and internal conflicts.
"Leng Zhao, take these two people down and lock them up first, and send someone to discuss the ransom with the other side in two days." The island owner said with a smile: "Come with me, I have something to say to you."
"Yes, the island master!" Leng Zhao waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to take Han Mo and the other two down, then asked the island master: "But I don't know what instructions the island master has?"
The island owner seemed to be watching Han Mo and the other two leave under the push of several pirates, then patted the cold photo on the shoulder and said, "Come on, have a cup of tea with me."
...
Compared with ordinary people, the island owner lives in the place where he lives is not very special. It is just that four houses made of large bamboo and thatch are connected together. It is much spacious. A wooden fence with people height is set up on the outside. The yard is filled with flowers and plants. Outside the fence is covered with trees and dense shade. The several houses located in this dense forest look peaceful and elegant. Outside the yard are several clean and trimmed roads. The fragrance of trees and plants in the air and the leisurely breath blowing from the distant sea breeze are indeed a paradise. No wonder it calls itself a "Immortal Island".
The island owner sat on a wooden chair in the yard, signaling Leng Zhao to sit down, and smiled and said, "Leng Zhao, do you know what I want to say to you?"
"Leng Zhao doesn't know, so I hope the island master will show you!" Leng Zhao said calmly, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Leng Zhao, you also know that your father Leng Yan and I are sworn brothers. When they were young, they sailed together in the East China Sea and did a lot of things. They are also considered two famous figures in the East China Sea." The island owner sighed and said slowly: "It's just that your father died young. It still makes me feel very distressed when I think about it."
Leng Zhao stood up and said respectfully: "My father fell ill when Leng Zhao was eight years old. Over the years, Leng Zhao and his mother have been taken care of by the island owner. Leng Zhao is very grateful!"
The island owner waved his hand and said, "This is my duty, and it should be like this. Just like after I die, you must take good care of Yue'er."
Leng Zhao was stunned and immediately said, "Master of the Island, your illness will definitely be cured."
The island owner stood up, walked slowly to a flowerbed, looked at the distant coast, and said slowly: "Leng Zhao, look at the waves, the tides rise and fall, and the cycle of reincarnation. Human life is like the waves. Since I have been born, I will die. This is the cycle of reincarnation that cannot be changed. I have been sick for one day, and I can't live much. The future of this Immortal Island, more than 300 lives on this island will be handed over to you in the future."
Leng Zhao was stunned. He was not excited by this sentence, but his eyebrows were pounding, and a look of alert flashed in his eyes. His voice became respectful in an instant: "Master of the Island, the Yoshinori has his own appearance, and your illness will be cured soon. This Immortal Island cannot be separated from the commander of the Island Lord, and Leng Zhao cannot be separated from the teachings of the Island Lord. Leng Zhao is young and has a short experience. He never thought of accepting such a heavy burden. He only wanted to follow the island Lord and make a meal for everyone."
The island owner turned his back to Leng Zhao, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a cold look flashed in his eyes, but when he turned around, he still had a kind smile on his face, gently patting Leng Zhao's shoulders, and said, "Young people, it's always good to do things. Your ancestors of the Leng family and my Du family are all as close as brothers. They have been passed down from generation to generation and have built up the territory of Xianren Island. This is our home, so we must guard this place."
Leng Zhao said solemnly: "Leng Zhao Mingming, I will defend this immortal island with my own blood."
The island owner laughed, and at this time, there seemed to be a hint of encouragement in his eyes.
"Island Master, Leng Zhao has something to ask the island master to be the leader." Leng Zhao pondered slightly and said slowly.
"Tell me!"
"When my father was alive, he decided to marry the island master. Now Bingyue is seventeen years old, so Lengzhao wants to ask the island master to fulfill his wish and fulfill his father's original wish as soon as possible." Lengzhao's throat was slightly ups and downs, but his voice was extremely respectful.
The island owner said "Oh" and smiled and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about this. You are all old. It's time to fulfill Brother Leng Yan's wish. Let's do this. When the ransom is delivered, we will release the person and start preparing for your marriage." He smiled and said, "You should know that this marriage costs money. You can't marry the bride too shabby, right?"
"Yes!" Leng Zhao was obviously a little excited and fell to the ground: "Lord Xie Island will fulfill his wish!"
"Okay. Leng Zhao, I'm not feeling well. I'm discussing ransom with the official, so you can send someone to do it."
When Leng Zhao left, Du Bingyue, who had long and beautiful legs, immediately came out from the side, stomped her feet, and blamed her: "Dad, I won't marry him, and I won't marry him even if I die."
The island owner looked grim at this time, with a cold look in his eyes. Looking at Leng Zhao's distant back, he said lightly: "This child's heart is too big. He dreams of becoming the second East Sea King. His mind will destroy the Immortal Island and kill all of us."
Du Bingyue was stunned, then came over to help the island master sit down, and then asked softly: "Dad, Leng Zhao's power is getting stronger and stronger now, and many brothers have followed his instructions. If this continues, you can't control him."
