Chapter 72 [Guide the way]

In the small yard in front of the island owner's house, there was a small wooden table, square, and there were ancient wine utensils on the table. These were all the favorite collections of the island owner. They only enjoyed it themselves on weekdays, but this time they took it out and used it, which was regarded as a real guest of honor...

In addition to the bright moonlight, two lanterns hung on the branches in the yard, which made the small yard extremely bright.

As soon as Dabao led Han Mo into the yard, the island owner immediately stood up to meet him, with a look of gratitude on his face and said with a fist: "Fifth Young Master, please make a little wine, please don't blame me. Come on, please sit down quickly." He seemed extremely enthusiastic.

With a look, Dabao immediately hugged his fists and retreated.

Han Mo was not polite, sat down at the table and smiled, "The island owner handled things very quickly. I only slept for a night, I was afraid that the people on the island have recovered their hearts now?"

The island owner sighed and shook his head and said, "If the fifth young master had not taken action this time, I am afraid that Immortal Island would have suffered a catastrophe. The residents on this island are actually good people and people who live a life. They are just blinded by Leng Zhao. Now the great evil has been killed, and everyone understands it. It is just to stabilize people's hearts, I am afraid it will take a while."

"With the island owner here, I'm not afraid of anything." Han Mo said with a smile.

The island owner smiled and said to the house: "Yue'er, have the fish been steamed?"

"It's almost!" Du Bingyue's crisp voice came from the house.

The island owner smiled and said, "The fifth young master, there is nothing delicious, but the sea fish steamed by Yue'er tastes a little. I will have to try it later."

"Then you will be blessed." Han Mo said with a smile.

He looked into the room and vaguely saw Du Bingyue's figure busy. He didn't expect that this girl was strong in nature but could go to the kitchen. She didn't expect it before.

A gust of wind blew, and Han Mo smelled a scent. He smelled it as he heard his nose, and couldn't help but say, "It smells so good!"

The island master Fu Xu said, "The fragrance that the fifth young master smelled was emitted from the lantern, and fish oil was used there. After lighting the lamp, it emitted a fragrance. It was a treasure from the sea."

Han Mo looked at the two lanterns and was very interested. He walked over and smelled them. It was indeed sent out from the lantern. He couldn't help but exclaim: "It's indeed a treasure, which can light the lamp and incense."

"There are so many treasures on the sea." The island owner said slowly: "One minute of the sea, one minute of the treasure, this sentence is not fake."

Han Mo sat down, as if he was thinking about something, and then smiled for a while, "It's true." He looked at the island owner and asked, "Island owner, what are you going to deal with those people?"

The "those people" he mentioned were naturally Leng Zhao's best friends, and he wanted to hold Xiao Tongguang hostage at the last moment.

"Just asking the fifth prince to make a judgment." The island master said with a solemn expression.

Han Mo raised his right hand, looked at his three golden fingers, and said lightly: "They are the island masters. The island master has the final say on how to deal with it." He paused, glanced at the island master, and slowly said: "But raising a few wolves by his side will not be a good thing, island master, what do you think?"

...

The island owner saw the murderous intent flashing in Han Mo's eyes, and his heart was slightly stern.

Although he had already seen the coldness and wit of this young man through the cold photos, he truly felt the coldness in Han Mo's bones at this time.

Han Mo's smile makes people feel sunny and even makes people feel close, but when he gets cold, his whole body is like a cold knife, sharp and murderous.

"I understand what the fifth young master means." The island master sighed, shook his head, and said softly: "It's just their fault for doing something wrong."

"I know the island owner will handle this matter well." Han Mo smiled and nodded, "After all, the Han family needs an explanation, and I need a reason to go back and plead with you."

The island owner stood up and said respectfully: "All things are done! The five young masters are all grateful on the Immortal Island."

At this time, Du Bingyue had already brought the steamed fish, and it was indeed full of fish fragrance. As soon as she put it on the table, Han Mo picked up the chopsticks without hesitation and picked up a piece of fish and ate it. It was tender and smooth, and the fragrance filled the mouth.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious." Han Mo praised repeatedly.

Du Bingyue showed joy on her face. After all, no one hates praise, but she curled her lips and said, "Fifth Young Master, you are a nobleman. You have eaten too many delicacies. What's so delicious about such a fish?"

Han Mo smiled and said, "Maybe I haven't eaten good food for many days. Well, I heard that some people who are used to eating delicacies have not eaten for a few days. If you occasionally eat a big cake, you will find it extremely delicious."

Du Bingyue was stunned, then understood his meaning, stomped her feet, glared at him fiercely, and turned around and entered.

The island owner squinted his eyes, looked at this scene, smiled in his eyes, poured wine for Han Mo himself, and whispered: "Fifth Young Master, I don't know if the fifth Young Master still remembers what I told you a few days ago."

Han Mo took a sip of wine and said slowly: "What is the island owner talking about moving?"

The island owner showed joy and nodded repeatedly: "It's true. The fifth young master, I hope you can fulfill this matter." He stood up again and bowed deeply.

Han Mo stood up and helped him sit down, and said warmly: "The island master, Leng Zhao has been killed. Immortal Island should be peaceful, why should we move to the place?"

The island owner picked up the wine cup and took a big sip, then started coughing. Du Bingyue heard the cough and ran out immediately, helping the island owner to pat the back gently, and said in a reproachful tone: "Dad, you are in poor health, so don't drink."

"It's okay, I'm happy to talk to the fifth master today, and it's okay to have a drink." The island master waved his hand and sighed, "Fifth master, you have also seen my body. Maybe you can't get up tomorrow after going to bed tonight. I used to see Leng Zhao having some ability, and maybe I could take the responsibility of the island master, but... hey, he is too ambitious. If he doesn't kill him, the entire Immortal Island will be taken into a land of no return. But except for Leng Zhao, although there are many people on this island, in my eyes, no one has the talent to control everyone. It's a pity that I think I still have a lot of talents more than ten years ago, but now there is no one later."

Han Mo listened carefully, and naturally he understood that the pirates were all powerful men. If there was no one with a certain level of martial arts wisdom and prestige, he would choose one person to take over. Not only would he not be able to lead everyone, but he might have greater internal strife in the future.

"So if I don't move, after I die, I'm afraid other people on the sea will peek at my Immortal Island and come to seize it." The island owner finally expressed his concerns.

Du Bingyue gently massaged the island owner's back, and his beautiful face also showed a dull look.

...

Han Mo was somewhat sure of moving to sea residents. Then, it would not be too troublesome to set up a piece of land outside Donghai City, build a village, and then register a household registration.

However, Han Mo suddenly had an extremely bold idea when he looked at the lantern.

"Island Master, I heard that there are many small countries on the sea, but I wonder if you have seen them?" Han Mo held his chin and pondered for a long time, finally asked.

The island owner was stunned. Although he didn't understand why Han Mo asked this, he nodded and said, "The fifth young master is talking about the countries in the southeast?" He knew that they were all relatively large islands, sparse and seem to have dozens of countries. I have been to seven or eight countries. Compared with the four Central Plains, those countries are just small places, which is not worth mentioning."

Du Bingyue also said: "Yes, those countries are very small. I heard before that two countries have too weak national strength and were actually destroyed by several groups of pirates."

"Oh!" Han Mo's face suddenly showed excitement, like a child: "Miss Du, do you know those countries too?"

Du Bingyue curled her lips and said, "That's what nature is known to everyone on the sea."

Han Mo nodded and said, "That's good, it's great."

The island owner and Du Bingyue were both a little strange. They didn't know that Han Mowei and suddenly became so excited. The father and daughter looked at each other, and the island owner asked softly: "Fifth Young Master, what do you mean?"

"Island Master, I have read a book called "East Sea Geography". The book says that there are many countries in the southeast of the sea. Although their national strength is weak, their products are rich and there are many good things." Han Mo looked at the island master with an expectant look and asked, "But I don't know if this is true or not?"

The island owner was knowledgeable and seemed to understand something. He nodded and said, "What the fifth young master said is not bad, but those small countries have many rare things." He turned to Du Bingyue and said, "Yue'er, take out my boxes."

Du Bingyue agreed and immediately returned to the house.

"Fifth Young Master, do you want the warships of the Donghai Pacifier Army to attack those countries and seize property?" The island owner, who was born in a pirate, thought of the word "rob".

Han Mo waved his hand quickly and said, "The island owner misunderstood." After thinking for a while, he asked, "The island owner, are there no merchant ships traveling between the four Central Plains countries and those countries on this sea? I mean, have the two sides never traded?"

In fact, people in this era cannot be very broad in their thinking. The trade between the four Central Plains is in the Central Plains, and even between the four countries, trade may not be smooth. Just like the Wei and Yan, the trade line between the two sides is very difficult.

As for dealing with various maritime countries, there are very few.

First of all, the manpower and material resources of the sea are extraordinary. The most important thing is that there are pirates cruising on the sea. Without a powerful sea guard, it is almost impossible to move forward.

The Han family, who controls the East China Sea, has never thought about maritime trade, so naturally others will not have this condition.

"Fifth Young Master, I'm going to tell you that I've been on the sea for so many years, and I've never seen any merchant ships traveling. A few years ago, merchant ships mainly came to Yan State by sea from the coast of Qing Kingdom. At that time, everyone said they would take the risk to do business." The island owner recalled: "A few ten years ago, several merchant ships from Qing Kingdom wanted to cross the East China Sea to do business with those small countries. Before they reached the end, they were snatched away by several seamen. All the merchants and guards were killed and they were thrown into the Great East China Sea to feed fish."

"So that's it." Han Mo sighed: "No wonder I, Donghai County, didn't see anything overseas. It turned out that the two sides did not interact."

Du Bingyue came over with a box in one hand, put it on the ground, and said, "Dad, that's it."

The island owner nodded, reached out to open one of the boxes, took out a transparent glass bottle from it, and came out. The bottle contained red liquid. It was definitely a rare thing in this era.

When Han Mo saw the glass bottle, he almost jumped up in shock.

He knew that in this era, there was no such thing as glass in the Central Plains.

"This is called wine." The island owner was quite proud: "It was obtained many years ago. It was produced in a country called Stockholm. The wine tastes very special, and the bottle of wine is also a rare thing. I heard they say it is called 'Bori'!"

In Han Mo's shocked eyes, he took out another glass bottle the size of a finger, which contained a yellow liquid. The island owner opened it carefully, and a rich but refreshing fragrance emanated: "This is called Puran perfume, produced in a country called Puran. If you apply a drop on your body, the fragrance will not dissipate for a long time."

He opened another box and took out a piece of animal skin: "This is called a skin painting, the fifth young master, look at it." He pointed to the portrait on the skin and said, "This is a skin painting from Alitu, and the painting above is also very special."

Han Mo looked carefully and saw a painting on the animal skin, which was an extremely strange monster. The painting was definitely not made with a brush, but with a knife craftsmanship. It really has a skill of ingenuity.

"These are all dowry I have prepared for Yue'er, but I have never taken it out to see it." The island owner looked at Han Mo and smiled.

When Du Bingyue heard this, her face turned red and she glared at her father with anger.
