bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 411 Oasis
Zhan Taiyi's card room should be one of the most luxurious places in the entire Dali City.

Although the furnishings here are in the style of Simeng, it is absolutely impossible to see them in Simeng—the entire interior pillars, table edges and chair backs, all kinds of large and small places are full of dragon pattern decorations .

On a pair of big red characters on a gold background in the center, the four big characters "wealth and wealth" are written in flamboyant fashion, surrounded by Taka gold coins made in Simeng. Zhan Taiyi leaned on the back of his chair, holding The long gold-clad copper pipe flashed on and off.

"Admiral...general...my lord..."

The man tied to the pillar behind him was already dying, his clothes had been ripped to pieces, covered with blackened blood, but it could be vaguely seen that it was the uniform of the Dead Man Fleet.

The wounds on the body were all flesh wounds. Under the extremely strong and cruel whipping, the human skin would be ripped apart by the hemp rope, as if being rubbed back and forth by a rough file.

The man's weak voice was not too low, and several people at the card table could hear it clearly.

But everyone at the table subconsciously glanced at Zhan Taiyi first, if the lieutenant general didn't speak, they had the right to pretend that they didn't hear.

When the man yelled for the third time, Zhan Taiyi just touched a mahjong tile and held it in his hand, but he didn't play it out for a long time.

"Remember what?"

Zhan Taiyi asked slowly, put the Dongfeng card he had just picked up sideways in front of his body, and took a deep breath on the pipe.

"Lord Lieutenant General... villain... I really never thought that the materials this time would be robbed for no reason, villain..."

The man's voice was as hoarse as an old bellows, Zhanta sighed and stood up.

The lieutenant general is wearing a long gown today - when he went to Siyang Palace on behalf of Xuegang, he didn't wear any Simeng-style clothes, but in this Dali City, he really likes this kind of clothes.

Zhan Taiyi didn't wear the bookish long gown originally, but the buttons were wide open, and he put it on like a casual nightgown, with a few strings of gold jewelry on his neck, which looked beautiful under the candlelight. Very eye-catching.

"Something from the Death Fleet? Crow's Cove?"

Zhan Tai spat the smoke from his mouth onto the face of the man tied to the pillar: "I asked you to pick up the darts by yourself, have you gone?"

The man was choked and coughed violently a few times, then shook his head:

"Master Lieutenant General, it's the little one who made a mistake, the little one shouldn't be lazy and hand everything over to other people..."

When he coughed, it was obvious that the muscles in his body were involved, and he showed a painful expression and unbearable whimpers.

Zhan Taiyi smiled, turned around and looked at the people sitting at his poker table and said:

"Everyone heard, it seems that someone has robbed the dead man's fleet and the materials prepared for the emperor in a place like Crow Bay. The big cities of Blood Harbor are all under the control of a few people. I don't know if there are any clues. Can you share one or two?"

The people sitting at the poker table were obviously from different countries.

Just as Tong Zhan Taiyi is now the spokesperson for Xiaosimeng's "Dali City" in Xuegang, these people sitting at the poker table have also endorsed their group's activities in Xuegang to a certain extent.

Before Zhan Taiyi came to Blood Harbor, Dali City already existed.

But after Zhan Taiyi arrived in Xuegang, Dali City and the Simeng people who were born in Xuegang behind him became prosperous with the rapid advancement of Zhan Taiyi's forces within a few short years.

"Vice Admiral Abdu, maybe your Star-Moon Fleet can provide some clues?"

Zhan Tai smiled and asked a bearded man.

The man he asked was obviously from Olimar, his beard had already been tied into a strand hanging from his chin, and he wore several big rings on his hands. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Admiral Zhan, Crow Bay has always been a dead man's fleet. The territory of the Oasis has always been the territory of Dali City, how can the people in our oasis go there when they have nothing to do?"

The oasis he was talking about was the urban area where people from Olimar's birth to Blood Harbor gathered for bandits.

"is it?"

The smile on Zhan Taiyi's face remained unchanged, he lifted the pipe to his mouth and took another puff, then suddenly frowned.

The tobacco in the pipe obviously needs to be re-flowed and replaced, and it is slightly clogged.

Immediately, a servant at the side brought a golden needle, raised it above his head and knelt beside Zhan Taiyi.

He took the golden needle used to puff the pipe, but turned around and handed it to the man tied to the post.

"Bite."

The man was taken aback, Zhan Taiyi had already stuffed the needle into his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Zhan Taiyi turned the pipe in his hand, and the hot, still sparkling pipe head pointed at a wound that had opened on the man's body, and he stabbed it in.

"Hmm! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)!")]

The man subconsciously clenched the golden needle in his mouth, and the hot pipe stuck to the flesh and blood, scalding a faint wisp of white smoke.

If the temperature is higher, I'm afraid you can smell the smell of meat.

But the man didn't even cry out.

His blood-stained face had turned pale, his lips trembled uncontrollably, but he still bit the golden needle that was as important as his life between his teeth.

Looking at this cruel scene, although Lieutenant General Abdu at the poker table didn't look away, he obviously didn't enjoy it as much as Zhan Taiyi.

"A few days ago, Olimar's merchant envoy was ambushed by Simeng. The people of Olimar had already discussed with the emperor, and the emperor was not very satisfied."

Zhan Taiyi looked at Abdu: "One bad news is acceptable, but if the materials are lost, two bad news are very unappetizing. Since the Star-Moon Fleet can't help you in finding materials, I don't know if Abdu Can the lieutenant general take the Xingyue Fleet out of the port and cause some trouble for your motherland, Olimar?"

When mentioning the matter of confronting Olimar, Abdu’s expression finally relaxed a bit, and he showed a somewhat cruel smile: “Of course, what does the emperor want the oasis to do? To pinch Olimar’s trade routes or just sweep coastal?"

The biggest enemy of those who live in Blood Harbor is where they were born.

"Olima felt that Blood Harbor destroyed Olima's merchant ship because he wanted to intensify the conflict with Simeng, and insisted that Simeng had no reason or purpose to turn against Olima for no reason, and just let them win Simeng's plan to divorce is too stupid."

Zhan Taiyi shook his head, sighed and said: "So, you have to help your motherland, let them see Si Meng's face clearly."

"The Emperor's meaning...isn't it for me to attack Olimar?" Abdu was a little puzzled.

Zhantai smiled and said: "Of course not, the emperor hopes that Oasis can take action against Simeng. Of course, try to make Simeng feel that this has nothing to do with Xuegang, and it is best if it is Olima's attack."

Abdu thought for a moment, and figured out what Zhan Taiyi meant, telling him to pretend to be Olimar's people to attack Simeng.

"Why don't the people in Dali City also go to fight Olima, how good is it for us to eat at both ends?" Abdu's eyes flashed a gleam of wisdom.

Hearing his great opinion, Zhan Taiyi sighed, raised his wrist and flicked it, and swept out a palm wind, flipping the Dongfeng card that hadn't been played for a long time into the river of cards.

"Because I'm going to find the emperor's materials. Why, Dali City went to fight Olimar, and Oasis came to find materials?!"

Abdo immediately fell silent.

As a lieutenant general, he knows better than ordinary people how Zhan Taiyi got to where he is today.

It is precisely because he does not know why, there is actually a way to help the emperor become stronger step by step.

The materials he handled, the people he touched almost all died tragically indiscriminately. Oasis does not have as many strangers as Dali City, and he is still...

You should listen to him first.
