Adrian stood outside the door all night. He was waiting for the people inside to be sent out, but what he didn't expect was that Yan Qing slept in the room all night.

You must know that Qiao Zhuo never keeps anyone around overnight, even Phil, who he liked very much before, only stays for a few hours before coming out.

An exception sounded Adrian's alarm, especially under the premise that Yan Qing seemed suspicious.

The door opened just behind Adrian's thoughts.

As soon as Adrian turned around, he saw Qiao Zhuo in a long black coat.

This time, the man's golden-brown hair was not tied tightly behind his head, but let loose, and his blue eyes, which would be seduced no matter how many times he looked at them, were lightly closed, and seemed to be a little sleepy.

Adrian felt his heart soften almost the first second he saw it.

"Joe..." As soon as Adrian went up to meet him, Yan Qing behind Qiao Zhuo showed his body.

Yan Qing's sharp and stern eyebrows were deliberately drooped to pretend to be cute.

It made Adrian's teeth itch.

But Qiao Zhuo seemed to be seduced by this man, and the always cautious and suspicious North Banian pirates would not be able to see Yan Qing's true face.

Qiao Zhuo hissed helplessly, and asked the system: "This npc Adrian likes me?"

The system explained: "In the original plot, Adrian and Widdie would secretly trip up the hero. Jealousy is a good reason."

Qiao Zhuo frowned and sighed: "It's another Shura field, you guys really like this one."

The system grinned and said, "The host, please continue to work hard."

Qiao Zhuo completely ignored the tit-for-tat confrontation between Adrian and Yan Qing, and walked towards the outside of the hotel while listening to the system's announcement.

The system said: "Host, after last night, it was detected that the male lead's career growth value has increased by five points."

Qiao Zhuo responded lightly, and suddenly distorted the facts thoughtfully: "It seems that going to bed is something that can improve the male lead's career growth."

The system froze immediately when it heard the words, and was so shocked that it didn't speak for a while.

Obviously, even after experiencing several small worlds with Qiao Zhuo, the small system is still not Qiao Zhuo's opponent.

It was shocked by Qiao Zhuo's appearance of talking nonsense when he opened his mouth, and finally he could only stammer and retort: "Last night was just a mistake..."

But Qiao Zhuo lightly pinched his chin and said leisurely: "Really? There is no evidence for empty words, so we can only discuss this topic after a few more trials."

After Qiao Zhuo finished speaking, he stopped talking to the system, causing the little system to cry helplessly.

It is obviously a villain system, how could it be reduced to this point, Mosaic played more diligently than the slice multi-attack team next door!

The Red Lady, which was parked at the port of Shengde, was menacing. With the cold wind in the morning, many pirates who stood up from the gentle village could already be seen busily carrying supplies to the ship.

Northern Barnia is a sea of chaos that cannot be covered by the power of the empire. It is vast and turbulent, and even a small storm can set off a huge torrent here.

Last night's darkness blocked many of the beautiful views of Shengde.

At this moment, there were people coming and going, and saw a goose-white stele erected at the port pier.

Then everyone who approaches Shengde from the direction of the waves can see this sentence:

——"The timid stop, the brave move forward."

Yan Qing silently followed behind Qiao Zhuo, quietly acting as a well-behaved bed partner.

Although he was tall and strong, much taller than all Qiao Zhuo's previous bed partners, but at the moment he still tried his best to reduce his sense of existence to the extreme.

After a night of getting along, Yan Qing gradually understands Qiao Zhuo's temperament.

Even though he is in a lower position, Qiao Zhuo likes to control everything. He hates being controlled by others, and he doesn't like the idea of others disobeying him. Therefore, although he is suffering, Yan Qing has some ways to deal with it.

The sea breeze was cool, and Wei Di, who was in the distance, came over with an energy gun, and there were several scratch marks on his neck.

His voice was very tough, and he said: "Joe, the price of energy stones is much cheaper, should we stock up more this time?"

The energy stone is an important engine for the pirates to drive the waves forward. It is more expensive than gold, but the current price is not a good sign.

Qiao Zhuo still had that indifferent and strategizing appearance, attractive and beautiful, which made Yan Qing stare at him several times.

Qiao Zhuo asked, "Did Tim say anything?"

Tim is a businessman with a keen sense of smell and cunning. All the small movements and wind directions of Shengde cannot escape his muddy but shrewd eyes.

Weedy had just done some business with Tim this morning, and he could tell that.

"The regular army wanted to break into Northern Bania. They assembled a powerful navy. The empire took the initiative to take the initiative, and the price of energy stones soon came down."

The Northern Barnia pirates have been prestige for more than ten years, plundering the wealth and resources of countless ports. Now that the Red Lady has emerged, ordinary small pirates dare not mess with it. Unexpectedly, the regular army will make a move.

When Wei Di said these words, he sideways blocked Yan Qing, as if he didn't want this man to participate in their conversation.

Yan Qing was also very knowledgeable, he hung his head and ignored them.

Qiao Zhuo glanced at Yan Qing with a smile in his eyes, and saw that the regular army commander who was pretending to be a lamb didn't let it go, after all, the plot still had to go on.

Qiao Zhuo didn't know how Yan Qing communicated with his subordinates of the regular army, but now that the Red Lady was about to set sail, Yan Qing always had to find a way to deliver the news.

The sea in the distance was calm, with no wind or waves, and blue waves rippling.

After discussing and determining the next route and the ports they will pass through, they all looked at the deep sea of Northern Bania.

Wei Di took out the leather jug filled with spirits at his waist and took a sip, reminding him with a smile: "Joe, are you sure? You want to take him?"

Qiao Zhuo is very picky. In the past, he had to choose a few people to bring on board, but he didn't expect that this time it was decided directly.

Wei Di glanced over Yan Qing carefully, he felt that this man was much more vicious than those little white rabbits before, and if he was a little careless, he would be a troublesome fellow than Phil.

Thinking of this, Wei Di stared at Adrian with some dissatisfaction, thinking that if it wasn't for him, Qiao Zhuo might not have noticed Yan Qing.

Yan Qing heard that the arm hanging by his side was slightly tight. He disobeyed Qiao Zhuo's many orders last night, and he hoped that he didn't make him angry. Otherwise, if they didn't board the Red Lady, all their efforts would be in vain.up.

Now Mrs. Hong is going to set sail again after only stopping for one day, which is somewhat different from Yan Qing's plan. He originally thought that Qiao Zhuo would stay in Shengde for at least a week.

Now it seems that this man is indeed cautious and suspicious. Yan Qing's eyes darkened slightly, and he looked towards the port calmly, waiting for an opportunity.

Qiao Zhuo didn't answer Wei Di's question, but just hooked his hand at Yan Qing. The man wore a black hair rope on his thin and slender wrist bones.

Yan Qing is very smart, he immediately understood what Qiao Zhuo didn't say, took off the hair rope and stood behind Qiao Zhuo to gather his golden brown hair.

Adrian and Wei Di couldn't hide their gloomy expressions when they watched this scene.

Qiao Zhuo's tone sounded very satisfied, he said: "Yan is very smart, I like smart people."

Adrian frowned irritably.

Wei Di glared at Yan Qing brightly, with clear hostility.

The group of people each had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

The handsome man's golden-brown hair was tied tightly, and the two strands of hair that could never be tied to his forehead were still fluttering lightly. The unruly brow bone scar reduced his weak beauty and added to his handsomeness.

Qiao Zhuo suddenly asked, "How much is Tim asking?"

Wei Di was stunned for a moment, and pulled his thoughts of flying to the sky back to the business, and said a number that was not high but definitely not low.

In the next second, everyone heard Qiao Zhuo say flatly: "Buy them all."

Yan Qing's pupils trembled slightly.

Wei Di and Adrian were also taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other very complicatedly.

"Buy them all?" Adrian said softly, "Those energy stones are enough for us to sail for half a year, Joe."

Qiao Zhuo squinted those wavy eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "To find the treasure, it's no problem to be well prepared."

As soon as Qiao Zhuo finished speaking, a group of children ran out behind them, laughing and shouting, pushing each other, and then ran away into the distance.

The children were still humming the ballad: "holon island, holon island, gold coins, silver coins and rubies, the Red Lady of Stormy Waves Fortress, holon island, holon island, the brave pirates defeated the dragon, overcame the thorns and regained the treasure..."

The treasure of Holon Island is a long-standing legend.

Legend has it that there is a mysterious island in the deepest part of the North Banya Sea, where a giant dragon lives and guards the treasures of the world for generations.

But no one has ever reached the depths of the North Barnia waves, and no one thinks the legend is true.

Just when Adrian and Wei Di wanted to persuade, Qiao Zhuo suddenly laughed.

He asked: "Why did the regular army take action suddenly? Is it really just to fight pirates?"

The empire is decaying, the dignitaries are fighting for status, and such a thankless thing as fighting pirates should not be done.

unless……

Adrian and Wei Di said at the same time: "Unless there is huge profit to be made."

Yan Qing frowned silently, he didn't expect Qiao Zhuo to realize that something was wrong so quickly, and guessed the real intention of the regular army to the bottom.

The Empire is reaching out to the treasures of the deep sea of Northern Barnia, but they haven't been there yet, and need a navigator.

And the Red Lady is the best navigator.

Qiao Zhuo twirled the black boots under his feet, but his tone revealed a domineering majesty.

"They want to beg from me, especially gold..."

The momentum of Adrian and Widdy froze. Pirates were also gold diggers. They plundered wealth in the stormy sea. Since the treasure was right in front of them, there was no reason not to take action.

So the destination was set.

When Wei Di was about to change the route map, he suddenly discovered that all the routes discussed just now went to the depths of Northern Barnia.

It turned out that Qiao Zhuo had made a plan from the very beginning.

Wei Di looked at Qiao Zhuo in surprise, but saw Yan Qing who was always beside the man.

"Joe... I've never been on a boat, so I don't know if I'll get seasick."

Qiao Zhuo watched Yan Qing acting with a smile, without any sign of comfort, and said coldly: "Really? Seasickness can be cured."

While supporting the engraved stele to make a mark, Yan Qing lowered his eyes and asked, "How to cure it?"

The Red Lady in front of me is more than 150 meters long and ten stories high. Looking at it, it is really shocking, as if it is a towering fortress as said in the ballad.

Qiao Zhuo stepped onto Mrs. Hong, and said flatly, "Throw it in, swim around, and you will wish to stay on the boat for the rest of your life."

Yan Qing: "..." He felt that Qiao Zhuo was not joking.

The red lady's skirt was raised high again, and the regular soldiers hiding in the dark quietly ran to the engraved monument to check carefully when the giant ship left the port.

Sure enough, Yan Qing left a route mark.

Destination... Holon Island?!

The Red Lady can accommodate a thousand people, and the pirates can take whatever they want when disembarking and resting, including gold, spirits, and even female companions.

In the busy and lively atmosphere, Yan Qing carefully observed everything he could see.

Suddenly, Qiao Zhuo reached out and grabbed Yan Qing's collar, interrupted Yan Qing's thoughts and said, "Yan, your task is not to move goods."

Yan Qing immediately recalled the feeling of last night. After Qiao Zhuo reminded him, he really didn't do any relief. He stiffened until he dissipated.

Is this tormenting process going to last the entire voyage?

For the first time, Yan Qing doubted whether he could do it.

So he asked sincerely, in public.

"Joe, can I get it out tonight?"
