It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 823

Chessboard Island is not an island, but an archipelago consisting of nineteen islands of different sizes. The whole island stretches for hundreds of miles, a real overseas country. On this island, more than 100,000 people live.

A very small part of the island is aboriginal, living a life of sunrise and sunset. Most of the rest are pirates making waves at sea.

The actual controller of this overseas country is Wang Sunli, known as the Lady of the East China Sea. All customers are required to pay certain protection fees to them. Those who have permission from Chessboard Island can come to the island to do business.

Either the goods brought from overseas are sold on the island, or the goods robbed from other merchants are written off.

This Qipan Island seems to be a large trading market between land and sea. Qipan Island can get rich just by collecting taxes and fees. What's more, they often do some business without capital on the sea.

Turtle Island is the center of Chessboard Island. If someone comes to Turtle Island by boat for the first time, before seeing the coast, they will see a castle made of stone from a distance.

When I got closer, I realized that the "castle" is just a wall, with cornices and corridors inside the wall, small bridges and flowing water, just like a paradise.

After decades of operation, this place has passed through the hands of three masters before and after, and the background is deeper than anyone thinks. Now, the owner of Chessboard Island is Mrs. Donghai.

In the attic at the highest point of the castle, a woman sat in front of the window, looking at the sea horizon in the distance. She is about forty years old, with a slim figure, although she is a milf, but her charm is still there.

A pair of phoenix eyes, with a three-point style before she spoke, she looked into the distance, and as far as she could see, a lonely boat was slowly approaching.

Li Xingzai sat in the cabin, Xu Wentian stood on the deck, and twitched the oars. It is now the ebb tide. With the momentum of the tide, it doesn't take much effort to reach Chessboard Island in one day.

Li Xingzai resisted the cold of the sea breeze with a jar of shochu, and recalled the information about Mrs. Donghai in his mind.

Back then, Li Xingzai was on the sea sweeping away thieves and fighting with Qipan Island. Although there was no fight in the end, the relationship between the two was definitely not that good.

At this time, Mrs. Donghai suddenly wanted to form an alliance with Li Xingzai, but she had no idea what was behind it. This time, Li Xingzai used Chu Yunsheng's name to board Qipan Island, but he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

And the most relevant question in Li Xingzai's heart is: What does Mrs. Donghai look like?

If he really had to eat three kilograms of meat for each meal, Li Xingzai didn't feel that he was too cruel.

He drank a glass of wine and said to Xu Wentian outside the cabin: "General Xu, we are not in a hurry, you drink a glass of wine to drive away the cold."

Xu Wentian thanked him, but did not leave the deck. He glanced into the distance, his expression suddenly tense.

"Your Majesty, a boat is approaching."

Li Xingzai left the cabin and stood on the deck overlooking, and sure enough he saw a three sailboats approaching fast. There was a black flag on the boat.

"Don't panic, it's a pirate from Chessboard Island." Li Xingzai's expression was calm: "Be careful, don't reveal my identity."

The reason why Li Xingzai borrowed Chu Yunsheng's identity was also because the matter was urgent. He wanted to take care of the matter himself, and then he could directly recruit the troops back. But once his identity is revealed, it is difficult for Li Xingzai to predict the way Qipan Island will take him as the King of Free and Easy.

The sailboat approached quickly, and did not stop when it was on the verge of the fishing boat. Seeing this momentum, it seemed that the fishing boat was about to be smashed.

Aggressive.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Wentian's mouth. He picked up the oars and held it against the approaching ship. The big ship pressed it backwards and retreated hundreds of feet straight.

Xu Wentian took advantage of the situation to get a little on the sailboat, the fishing boat turned and passed the big boat.

The big ship was finally willing to stop, and the two ships were moored in the sea, facing each other.

A group of people appeared on the deck of the big ship. The head turned out to be a woman, wearing an embroidered cotton jacket, and her cheeks were reddened by the sea breeze.

Xu Wentian lifted the oar upside down, how could he allow a few thieves to bully him. It is inconvenient to do it now, if Xu Wentian catches the opportunity, he doesn't mind that this group of pirates know how powerful it is.

With a smile on his face, Li Xingzai clasped his fists and said, "But the hero of Qipan Island, Chu Yunsheng, who was in Fengcheng, was invited by Mrs. Donghai to be a guest on Qipan Island."

The few people on the big boat looked at each other in dismay. Of course they didn't know about the alliance between Qipan Island and Luofeng City, but if it was Mrs. Donghai's guest, they wouldn't dare to offend.

The woman cleared her throat and said, "Why is this evidence?"

Li Xingzai took out a letter from his arms, with a pure black cover and white flowers on it. The woman looked carefully, it was indeed the symbol of Mrs. Donghai.

"Offended." The woman ordered the rope ladder to be lowered and said, "Please get on the boat."

Xu Wentian was the first to board the big boat, and he was relieved at this moment. He is confident in his own abilities. As long as he gets on the boat, everyone on the boat will not be his opponent.

Now, he can declare that he is the owner of this ship, as long as he is blind to that person.

After boarding the boat, he nodded to Li Xingzai, indicating that he could control the situation.

Only then did Li Xingzai start to act, and the woman stared at him without moving. I have to say that Li Xingzai is really handsome, with a long gown and a sword. When she was stepping, her body fell... The woman pouted, and said with some regret: "It turns out to be a lame man."

Li Xingzai grabbed the rope ladder and gradually boarded the big boat. He supported the boat with one hand and reached out to the woman with the other, saying, "Excuse me, give me a hand."

The woman frowned, if it wasn't for Li Xingzai's good skin, she really wouldn't want to reach out.

Li Xingzai grabbed her palm, raised his head and gave her a bright smile. He stepped on the deck and pushed the woman's back with a thud, and the woman fell into the sea with a thud.

"Tsk, it turned out to be a chicken in soup." Li Xingzai sighed.

Seven or eight pirates on the boat immediately surrounded Li Xingzai and the two of them. The woman emerged from the woman's water and pointed at Li Xingzai's nose and cursed.

"I take your eighteen generations of ancestors as a donkey's liver and lungs, and my aunt will cut you into eight pieces and throw them into the sea to feed the fish."

Li Xingzai smiled and looked at her embarrassed appearance, but he was not very angry. Suddenly, the smile on his face was immediately stopped, and he said with a cold face: "I scared your eyes, I don't know where this military division came from. I am a guest invited by your master. Are the people on Qipan Island so unruly? ?"

The woman threw herself up in the water. She grew up by the sea since she was a child, and the water really couldn't help him. However, after thinking about it, it was really embarrassing.
