142: Jiang Xiaowen from Wind Island
Red Beard was also dumbfounded; the intelligence he received was about a fat sheep, but this fat sheep was too big, a little ridiculous.
Pirates are popular for boarding actions, which means pulling the ship alongside, putting up a plank, and jumping onto the opponent's deck to rob them. But this big ship in front of him was probably dozens of meters high. If his small ship pulled alongside, the plank wouldn't even reach the opponent's deck, would it? Unless he was a top expert, only then could he jump onto that big ship, right?
Red Beard felt something was wrong and had the intention to retreat.
At this moment, a huge cannonball whizzed through the air and accurately hit the middle of the ship, causing a terrifying explosion.
With immense force, countless pirates were blown away, scattered across the sky like celestial maidens scattering flowers.
Red Beard's ship was directly blown in half from the middle.
Any magic enchantment was just a child's toy in the face of pure violence.
It was too terrifying.
He didn't play fair! We pirates don't fight like this, you're cheating!
Red Beard was stunned, plopped into the sea, then quickly took out a card, summoned a strange lifeboat, lay on the lifeboat, and fled rapidly.
It was pitiful for those sailors who didn't have Red Beard's treasure, floating in the sea clutching broken wood.
After several rounds of shelling from the Sichuan, all three pirate ships were blown to pieces.
Zheng He piloted the large ship over and pulled two people out of the sea.
They completely ignored the others and let them fend for themselves.
They shoved the two captives forward, presenting them before Han Huohuo.
One fat, one thin, a clear contrast, they were pushed in front of Han Huohuo in a panic.
Since coming to this world, Han Huohuo had been in a high position for a long time, and his aura was still very strong. The two Pirates didn't wait for him to question them and immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.
Pirates, they are all people who can bend and stretch.
"King, spare our lives! We're just small sailors, how could we know we offended the King?"
"What do you do? Who is your Boss?"
"Reporting, King, our Boss is Red Beard, a Pirate. His ship was just smashed by you, and he escaped by himself in an escape boat. If it weren't for the King's rescue, we would have been shark food in a moment."
Han Huohuo nodded. This was a native Pirate, not an external Lord, because the system had no prompts.
If an external Lord had attacked him, there would have been a prompt in the system.
"Where is your base?"
"King, it's not far, on a large island not far away where pirates gather. Because there are strong winds all year round on the island, that island is called Wind Whisper Island. There's a strange Lord on the island. Yes, she makes everyone call her Lord and doesn't allow anyone to call her a Pirate. On her island, she maintains law and order and doesn't go robbing, but anyone who goes to her island for supplies has to pay. Because she is very powerful, everyone is willing to abide by the rules."
Han Huohuo's eyes lit up. Hearing this style of doing things, she should be a Lord who transmigrated. She doesn't like robbing and just likes to do business. She probably isn't a warlike person.
"What is the name of the Lord you mentioned?"
"Her name is Jiang Xiaowen!"
Han Huohuo was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling that this name sounded a bit familiar. He opened his forum and took a look. There was a girl whom he had blacklisted back then.
It was this Jiang Xiaowen.
Han Huohuo felt a bit awkward. Then he realized he was annoyed and closed all other forums, leaving only Ten Thousand Mountains. Now that Ten Thousand Mountains had become his subordinates, there was no news either.
This area belongs to the Devil Sea. Han Huohuo reactivated the Devil Sea area forum and then unblocked Jiang Xiaowen from the blacklist.
The world goes in circles. He didn't expect the gossipy woman he blacklisted back then to become a big shot at sea.
This is a bit awkward.
He tried to call Jiang Xiaowen.
Jiang Xiaowen was on a platform by the sea, enjoying the sea breeze and leisurely drinking red wine. Behind her stood a row of servants, some holding pastries, some holding juice, some holding towels, and some fanning her. She was like the queen here.
Ding!
There's a message.
She glanced at the system.
Jiang Xiaowen's face changed. She saw a number she deeply hated. Wasn't this that most arrogant person in the world? Wasn't it this scoundrel who blacklisted me back then?
Why did he suddenly unblock me again?
What does this bastard want to do?
"Excuse me, is this Jiang Xiaowen?"
"Yes, I am Jiang Xiaowen, who are you?"
"Ah? You don't recognize me?"
"Do we know each other? I don't know you!"
Han Huohuo felt a wave of suppressed delight. This woman had a bad memory and didn't recognize him. That was great.
"Oh, then it's nothing. I traded with you once before..."
"Haha, there are too many people I've traded with, how could I possibly remember everyone? You're right, by the way, is there something you need from me?"
"It's like this, I have something going on recently and went out to sea to handle some matters. I just heard that you are the Boss of Wind Whisper Island and wanted to pay a visit. I wonder if it's convenient?"
"Welcome! So, when are you planning to come?"
"Ah, I'm already not far from your Wind Whisper Island, I should arrive in about an hour."
"What?"
Jiang Xiaowen was startled. What did he mean? He silently sneaked up to my home? What does this guy want to do?
"Then... did you bring a strong fleet out to sea?"
"How could that be? I'm not here to fight, just to wander around at sea. My army still needs to guard the crystal at home, right? To be honest, I only brought one ship out to sea."
"Oh? Only... one ship?"
"That's right!"
"Alright, then I will receive you very warmly. Come on over."
"Thank you!"
After hanging up the communication, Han Huohuo's face was beaming red. He was lucky. This woman didn't hold grudges, mainly because she had a bad memory.
Mu Jiu pouted from the side, "You're acting strange, did you just finish talking to a woman?"
Han Huohuo was greatly surprised, "You can tell that? It's nothing, just an old friend. Don't think too much."
Mu Jiu chuckled, "An old friend? I have to remind you, women are the most vengeful creatures. Don't get tricked."
Han Huohuo gave an awkward laugh, and then he couldn't laugh anymore. He suddenly felt that what Mu Jiu said made a lot of sense.
Jiang Xiaowen hung up the communication.
Turning around, her face showed a fierce expression.
"Mobilize all the troops for me, deploy them to the dock, get your weapons ready, I want to give this... friend... a good reception!"
Jiang Xiaowen said this through gritted teeth, not looking like she had forgotten Han Huohuo at all.
The entire Wind Whisper Island was in motion. Various soldiers began to gather at the dock, all the crossbows on the turrets were loaded, as if facing a formidable enemy.
A Lieutenant came over, "Boss, is your enemy coming?"
Jiang Xiaowen said fiercely, "That's right, an irreconcilable enemy!"
