Pampering the sea

"By the way," Xin Yue's voice suddenly cooled down, and his expression became very calm, "What are you going to do next?"

"What's next?" Chu Zhiling stopped smiling, and looked at her slightly puzzled.

Xin Yue raised his head, his eyes were as clear as water: "Now that the Dutch army is in decline, will you attack the imperial court with them?"

When attacking the arsenal of Zeelandia Castle that day, Xin Yue’s soldiers successfully burned down the largest arsenal of the castle. Although the lethality is great, it will not destroy the entire castle.The current situation is that the East India Company is busy with European commercial wars and cannot take care of East Asia for the time being. It may think that China is a fat that will not be available soon, and spending manpower and material resources here is just a waste of resources, so no more staffing. and weapons came, and there was a faint tendency to withdraw the troops originally stationed.

"Is this what you want to ask?" Chu Zhiling looked at her, his eyes were like a sudden change in the weather, and the wind and rain suddenly dimmed, and there was a faint icy chill, "This is the first thing you care about?"

In any case, whether it is because she misses Yan Zhan's official career, or just because of her loyalty to the dynasty, or even because she has a strong patriotic heart, she is so unreasonable that it chills him a bit, he thought she would Asked what their relationship should be like next, but she seemed calm about it, and didn't care how strangers they would become.

That's it, the first thing she cares about is definitely not him.

Chu Zhiling just said lightly: "Cooperate with the Dutch army, can I? From the moment you were rescued, the East India Company and I lost the opportunity to continue to cooperate. They might think that I have become a You are a running dog of the imperial court, otherwise why would you save you, the admiral."

"Thank you." Xin Yue raised her head and looked at him, her eyes were like twinkling stars, her expression was not as perfunctory as before, but showed a slightly moved expression.

Chu Zhiling was taken aback for a moment, he felt that Xin Yue seemed a little different, she would never say that to him in the past, with a faint expression, as if she took all help for granted, and seemed to have no respect for life and death, honor and disgrace, and for the help and harm of others. Don't care, in short, it's a cold and arrogant look that doesn't care, like a cold mist that can't be seen through.

But in the past few days, he found that she seemed to be more and more real. She would cry, get angry, and say thank you. She seemed to be trying to express her feelings.

The corners of Chu Zhiling's mouth raised slightly, but the next moment the corners of his lips became stiff again.

"I will remember, and I will return your favor." Xin Yue's expression was still calm, but his tone seemed more serious.

"What are you talking about?" Chu Zhiling suddenly approached her, clamped her white and thin wrists, narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of danger flashing, "Return the favor?"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Xin Yue frowned slightly and asked suspiciously.

Chu Zhiling shook off her arm, stood up straight with his hands behind his back and said, "Yes, very right, very right, there is nothing more right than what you said in the world."

"Are you angry?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No." Chu Zhiling tossed off his robe and walked outside.

angry?Of course he is angry!She said she wanted to return his favor, and she said it so seriously, what do you mean?She completely regarded him as an outsider, or an ordinary friend. If he was her lover or her husband, how could she say such foreign words? !

"Stop, Chu Zhiling." Xin Yue's voice sounded in the room, "I have something to tell you."

Chu Zhiling frowned, but still stopped, he turned his head slowly, and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"

"If you don't cooperate with the Dutch army, it means two possibilities. First, you stop fighting the imperial court. Second, you return to the sea and lead the pirates to make waves. I guess the second possibility is more likely, right? "

Xu really regarded him as an outsider, or the kind of outsider who is not easy to get close to. When Xin Yue asked questions, he was very polite, with a hint of caution. If she used to ask directly, hey, Chu Zhiling, are you Don't you want to continue to fight against the court?

"Won't your head hurt from worrying about these things all day?" Chu Zhiling said in a deep voice, with obvious displeasure in his eyes.

"It's a little." Xin Yue rubbed his temples and smiled faintly. It seemed that he was unwilling to answer her question.

That's right, even if they were able to love each other not long ago, they are destined to be opposites to each other. Only when they are drunk and unconscious can they coexist peacefully without conflict.

"By the way, you used to get vermilion amber from the South China Sea, do you still have any?" Knowing that he would not answer that sensitive question, Xin Yue wisely didn't ask again, but changed the subject and jumped to the topic of his own thoughts. Know on another question.

"Yes," Chu Zhiling frowned, "What do you want to do?"

"I want three hundred grams." Xin Yue said lightly.She will never forget that in the small prescription, there are three hundred grams of medicinal materials such as South Sea vermilion amber.

Chu Zhiling frowned, people wanted Amber mostly for medical treatment, he wanted to ask her what disease she had, but considering the fact that she subconsciously treated him as an outsider before, he felt a little annoyed, and refused to show the slightest worry.

"I can buy it, and I'll give you the money." Xin Yue pursed his lips lightly, his eyes like water.Obviously, she thinks that Chu Zhiling's hesitation is because she thinks she is self-righteous. Since she broke up with him before, she still thinks that he will give unconditionally. She is actually a little afraid of him, afraid that he will laugh at her after she makes such a request, saying, What do you think I will give you this?who are you?

Therefore, she first used the words of payment to create a distance between the two of them.

With a bang, the furious man kicked the table over, and the things on it were scattered all over the ground in a mess.

"You're fucking ruthless." Chu Zhiling growled, grabbed a chair, and threw it on the ground with a bang, Xin Yue's ears seemed to be thundered.Now Chu Zhiling was as angry as a leopard, wishing to tear down the whole house.

"Why are you so angry?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "Why am I so cruel, you were the one who said you wanted to break up with me, and yesterday you said after humiliating me that you would only treat me like a doll , in your mind I am worthless, you speak harshly first, I follow your will to disown you, what else can you be angry about?"

With a bang, Chu Zhiling slapped his palm on the table, and said angrily in his heart, I haven't seen you so obedient at ordinary times, but now that you've found something to do, you just want to get rid of me, right?Can't wait to leave me, right?

That's the same sentence, you're fucking ruthless!

"Even if I throw it into the sea to feed the fish, I won't give you the vermilion amber!"

Chu Zhiling violently kicked over a round table, and with a loud bang, he had already walked to the door angrily, stretched out his long hand, and closed the door with a bang, but the door couldn't bear his huge strength, after closing it , fell to the ground with a bang.

"I'm sick." Xin Yue half-closed his eyes, glanced at the direction the man was going away, and said with extreme contempt, "Sooner or later, a blood vessel in this man's brain will burst."

She lazily stroked her hair at the temples, and smiled provocatively: "I'm so arrogant, if you don't give me the vermilion amber, won't I go get it myself?"
