Protect Our Patriarch - Chapter 384

[Chapter 89 Sister-in-law is mighty!]

…

the vast blue waters of Qingluo Sea, the water is clear and clean, and the water temperature is cold.

In this sea area, the growth rate of all kinds of raw seafood is relatively slow, which further enhances the quality and flavor of these seafood.

Once upon a time, this vast sea area was also full of fishing boats, producing a lot.

It’s a pity that in the Qingluo Sea waters, the pirates gradually became prosperous.

As a result, the fishery economy is almost at a standstill now, and many commercial and trade vessels have decreased by 80 to 90% compared with a hundred years ago.

Only the merchant ships of the Cao Clan and Fang Clan can travel unimpeded in this sea area.

now.

In this vast ocean, there is a fleet of ships forming a stable formation, slashing the wind and waves, and moving forward quickly.

In this fleet, the most striking is a large merchant ship with a unique style.

The ship, named “Luo Miao”, is the latest merchant ship jointly built by the Chen family of Donggang and the Wang family of Changning.

It does not have several towering masts like ordinary sea ships, but instead erects a huge cylindrical object where the masts should be.

Its volume is also much larger than that of ordinary sea ships. Many joints have used the latest steel structure. In addition to the traditional sail, a huge power cabin is also installed at the bottom of the cabin. A huge boiler, and a propeller propelled by a steam structure.

This is the latest refiner product launched by Wang’s secret research institute – “Wang’s Steam Engine”.

When it comes to the steam engine, it is one of the biggest weapons to promote the progress of the earth’s civilization.

Every ordinary person knows the principle of the steam engine, but most ordinary people do not know the specific structure of the steam engine.

Just like Wang Shouzhe, of course he knows that steam can be used to generate power, and he also vaguely knows some general structures.

But you want him to design a whole set of steam engine structure abruptly, that is something that he can’t do even if you kill him.

Fortunately, Wang’s research institute, after decades of development, is full of talented people.

Regarding the subject of steam power, Wang Shouzhe has put forward the concepts and principles, as well as the general structural direction and ideas decades ago.

The structure of steam power is actually not complicated, and there is no shortage of smart people in the world. The reason why we encounter technical bottlenecks is that there is only a lack of ideas and directions.

After having a clear idea and direction, blacksmiths, refiners and technicians, with the encouragement of dry gold, overcome various difficulties little by little, and it took decades before and after.

It has come up with such a huge, yet very primitive steam power system.

But no matter how primitive it is, it is also a steam system, which belongs to the “high-end technology” of the primary level of “boiling water”, which is much more advanced than pure sail kinetic energy.

You know, the biggest problem that restricts the development of the shipping industry is the cargo capacity of ships.

Because only a strong enough cargo capacity can bring enough profit.

What limits the cargo capacity of a ship is actually power.

Using sails as power is not only easy to be affected by climate and ocean currents, but it can only be forced to stop sailing for nearly half of the year. The power that can be provided is also limited, and the transportation speed is really not fast.

But with the steam system as the power, there is no such trouble.

The upper limit of the power that the steam system can generate is much higher than that of the sail.

Moreover, the steam power is also more stable than the sail power.

Even if it is going against the current, the speed will never be too slow.

In addition, because coal is very cheap in the world, its consumption is not high.

Based on this, the shipping industry still has huge development potential in the future.

However, as of now, Wang’s steam power system is still in the state of experimental investment and needs to be continuously improved in the practice process, and it is far from being ready for large-scale production.

“Luo Miao” is Wang’s work to test the waters.

At the same time, this large merchant ship named “Luo Miao” is also the flagship of the entire fleet.

It carries the most precious foreign glass products, and there are a dozen divine cannons installed on the ship. Its defense is so powerful that it is no exaggeration to call it a “mobile war fortress at sea”.

Compared with the Luomiao, the defense strength of the other nine merchant ships was much inferior, and each merchant ship only had one Divine Mighty Cannon.

The front deck of “Luo Miao” is very high, and it is five or six feet high from the horizontal plane, which makes it look far more powerful than ordinary sea ships.

At this moment, at the front of the deck, next to a mighty cannon, there was a woman standing beautifully.

She looks quite handsome, her long hair is simply tied into a ponytail behind her head, and there are no extra decorations on her body.

Against the background of the basalt armor and cloak, her figure is tall and exquisite, and she looks heroic and neat.

This woman is naturally the person in charge of this fleet, Wang Luomiao.

In general, the women of high-grade Xuanwu families, some of the best ones will go the school route, and most of the rest are going to marry and have children, the way of marriage for the family, especially some women from direct lineage, most of the time they simply cannot dominate. own marriage.

Cao Lina is a typical example.

As a direct descendant of the Cao family from far away, her aptitude is not bad, but she can only obey the family’s arrangement and marry Qian Qinhong of the Qian family of Longzuo as a sequel.

However, the Wang family is a little different.

At Wang Shouzhe’s insistence, all women in the Wang clan enjoy the same rights and treatment as men, including marriage.

Any woman from the Wang family has the right to choose to marry or not to marry. The family will only give advice and not force it.

It is even more powerful than the family’s men. After all, some men will not marry and have children for a long time, and the family will take certain measures…

At this point, Wang Shouzhe has received strong support from the ancestors of Longyan.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe’s half-sister, Wang Luomiao, has never been married so far.

Like the men of the same generation in the family, she used her own efforts and abilities to prop up the sky for the family.

Sea trade has always been difficult.

Wang Luomiao chose this method to take part of the responsibility for the family, and also to provoke part of the burden for his brother Wang Shouzhe.

In the past 20 years, she has been learning everything she can learn bit by bit, growing step by step and integrating step by step.

The sea breeze is blowing, and the cloak is hunting.

With the baptism of the years, the ignorant girl at the beginning has gradually transformed into a mature and capable girls’ hero.

“Miss Luomiao, it’s windy outside.”

At some point, a handsome young man appeared behind Wang Luomiao.

He looked at Wang Luomiao and said with concern: “Go back and rest first~ In this Qingluo Sea, no pirate dares to move a ship with the Fang’s flag.”

Although this caravan is the king’s The industry of the family’s in-laws alliance is dedicated to trade with the Liaoyuan Fang family.

Because of the huge profits, the Fang family paid more and more attention to this trade line, and dispatched Fang Jinghui, the contemporary son of the family, to be responsible for the follow-up.

This young man is naturally Fang Jinghui.

The two sides have cooperated for 20 years, and the relationship has become closer and closer.

Fang Jinghui was not a few years older than Luo Miao, and despite his elegant and gentle temperament, his strength had also reached the peak of the third floor of Lingtai Realm.

If you put it in the school, you must be a core disciple of Ji Mingyu’s level.

It can be seen that the background of the Liaoyuan Fang clan has far surpassed that of the ordinary sixth-grade family, and now it happens to be on the verge of impacting the fifth-grade Zifu family.

Once they succeed in attacking the Zifu, coupled with Fang Youan, a direct disciple of Longzuo Zifu Academy, as the Austrian aid, the future development potential is great.

“Young Master Jinghui.” Wang Luomiao nodded slightly in greeting, “This time the ship is loaded with a large number of glassware, I’d better keep an eye on it, and I can respond quickly if something happens.

” Education and resources are also top notch.

Although she was unable to obtain the primary bloodline qualification improvement liquid due to the depletion of resources in the Shenwu Dynasty Proving Ground, she was the younger sister of Wang Shouzhe’s direct relative, and Wang Shouzhe would naturally not treat her badly.

“Enlightenment”, “Blood quenching”, and “Blood Washing” three pills have been completed, and her bloodline aptitude has already reached the level of Xiaotianjiao of the middle grade C.

Later, Wang Shouzhe also reserved one for her among the batch of blood guinea pigs that Wang Shouzhe got.

Now, she is also a generation of arrogance.

However, after all, she is ten years younger than Wang Shouzhe, and she started a little later. Her current strength is only in the middle and late stages of the third floor of Lingtai Realm, and she is still a little far from breaking through the middle stage of Lingtai Realm.

With this kind of bloodline talent, although there is still a slight risk of being promoted to the Purple Palace Realm, it is not difficult for the Heaven and Human Realm.

What’s more, Wang’s is now in the stage of rapid development, and the annual income of various industries is gradually rising.

Just like the Ice Devil Floating Island developed by the Academy, it has now entered the stage of annual income of hundreds of thousands.

The Shouda Firm, which has invested heavily in the past, has already made a return on its capital, and the annual income is extremely considerable.

What the Wang family is most looking forward to is Xin’an Town. Now Xin’an Town has begun to reclaim wasteland on a large scale, and the number of fertile fields has risen again and again, bringing considerable benefits to the Wang family, who mainly grows grain.

Moreover, Xin’an Town is a new wasteland town. According to the Dagan Law, it can enjoy the preferential treatment of exempting the state tax and county tax for 30 years. It only needs to pay the guard tax of Changning Wei and the family tax given to the Wang family.

If it is a fertile land registered in the Wang family’s name, then even this 10% of the family tax is exempted.

Therefore, the income of Xin’an Town is particularly impressive.

After getting the money, Wang Shouzhe began to search around for the Xisui Dan, Wuji Baodan, etc. that could improve his aptitude.

With Wang Luomiao’s status and family contribution, it may not be possible to get another Wuji Baodan in the future.

Gossip aside.

Seeing that Wang Luomiao’s attitude was so firm, Fang Jinghui sighed helplessly: “Since that’s the case, I’ll accompany Miss Luomiao to talk here~”

After speaking, he walked to Wang Luomiao’s side and said in a chatty tone: “In five or six days, we will arrive at the Panshui Port of Fang’s family. What’s your plan? You’re not going to go somewhere…”

Just as the two of them were talking.

Suddenly.

A sharp, piercing screeching sound suddenly sounded.

It was the watchman on the observation deck who found the enemy and blew a warning whistle.

In an instant, everyone in the merchant fleet became tense, Wang Luomiao and Fang Jinghui also stopped talking immediately and looked up at the observation deck.

On the watchtower, the deputy watchman was waving the flag in an orderly manner and conveying the message with the flag language.

“The pirates are attacking?” Fang Jinghui’s expression changed, “Which pirates are they, and even our merchant ships dare to loot?”

Wang Luomiao’s face turned cold, and immediately based on the number of pirate ships and the direction of the attack conveyed by the semaphore , a series of deployments and arrangements were made.

As the flagship “Luo Miao”, it turned its direction and actively blocked the attacking direction of the pirates.

On the deck, the twelve Divine Might Cannons were all loaded and ready for battle.

All the non-combatants hid in the cabin, and the ones left on the deck were all basalt monks with combat effectiveness, as well as family generals who knew how to operate the mighty artillery.

Merchant ships carry a large amount of cargo, and it is impossible to outrun the pirates. Relying on the advantage of the “sightseeing mirror” to first discover the enemy’s situation, it is most cost-effective to set up a defensive formation.

Almost at the same time when the fleet was dispatched, dozens of small dots appeared on the vast sea.

It was dozens of small and medium-sized fast boats, with their sails bulging, and they were rushing in the direction of the wind.

After the dozens of clippers, several large sea ships followed.

The speed of these large sea ships is slightly slower than that of fast ships, but they are also more than double the speed of the sea ships used by the caravan to carry goods.

Above these ships, the flag of the pirates fluttered high, and before they approached, they brought a strong sense of oppression to everyone in the caravan.

Soon, the Clippers became more and more clear in everyone’s field of vision, and the distance between the two sides began to shrink rapidly.

A fierce naval battle began.

The thunderous roar of the Shenwei Cannon blew up waves on the sea.

If you are lucky enough, you can also sink a small clipper.

As the pirates approached quickly, the opposing ballista also began to counterattack.

However, the ballista’s effectiveness paled in comparison to the clean results of the Shenwei Cannon.

“Damn it!” Nie Long, the rough-looking leader of the pirates, was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames, “How can the goddamn mighty artillery be so powerful?”

He had heard it before, Wang and Chen The power of the magic cannon was extraordinary, and he even sneered at it.

Unexpectedly, now they have suffered a lot. Not only have many brothers been killed by Shenwei Cannon, but even the ship has been destroyed a lot.

.

“Brothers keep rushing!”

Nie Long was so angry that his hair was red, and his aura suddenly soared.

At the same time, he stepped on the deck with one leg, and the whole person suddenly rose into the air, striding in the air, and soared away in the direction of Luomiao.

However, in a matter of seconds, his figure had already reached the sky above the flagship Luomiao of the caravan.

Following his right hand, a thick-backed sword suddenly appeared in his palm. It was a magic weapon-level long sword.

This was given to him by Cao Youbin, the previous head of the Cao family, when he was promoted to the realm of heaven and man.

Otherwise, with his strength and financial resources, it is really not that easy to get such a magic weapon.

Nie Long held a knife in both hands and slashed towards the flagship with a sharp knife.

In an instant, a huge amount of profound energy surged out, condensed into a semi-circular sword light several feet in size and roared away, majestic, domineering and tragic.

Obviously, Nie Long is a master swordsman and has already understood a little bit of sword intent.

At this moment, he was suspended in the air, his burly body was like a hill, and the profound energy fluctuations in his body were even more surging, like a raging wave, and coupled with the overwhelming sword light, it was really powerful.

Even if he looks like a random slash, the power of this slash is still enough to cut through the waves and captivate the soul.

This is the power of heaven and man!

When a Celestial Realm Xuanwu cultivator goes all out to shoot, the fighting power that erupts is extremely terrifying.

What merchant ships and what mighty guns are all useless at all.

This is also the reason why if there is an ancestor of heaven and man, he can dominate the place and become a powerful force.

The cultivator of the Heaven and Human Realm has long since left the mortal level, and it is very possible to destroy an ordinary eighth-rank family by his own strength.

And at critical moments, it can often sway the direction of a small-scale war.

“No, it’s the ‘Red-haired Dragon King’ Nie Long, be careful girl Luomiao!” Fang Jinghui turned pale and hurriedly stood in front of Wang Luomiao, flicking his left hand, a spiritual shield swirled and flew up, opening a burst of energy The shield blocked both of them.

It’s just that with his strength, to block this move is purely a man’s arm.

At this critical moment, inside the “Luo Miao”, a long whistle suddenly sounded.

I saw a blue water dragon burst out from the cabin, hitting the sword light like a sharp arrow.

“Boom!” The

two energies clashed violently, and a shock wave spread in all directions. The masts and decks of the “Luo Miao” were all broken.

at the same time.

A tall and burly old man flew out of the cabin with a silver long spear in his hand, and hovered in the air opposite Nie Long, the “Red-haired Dragon King”, laughing loudly: “Nie Long, with me here, it’s not a turn. You are so arrogant.”

“Is it you? Chen Ruhong, the ancestor of the Chen clan?” Nie Long’s pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly became solemn, “You didn’t stay in Donggang well, but you came out to follow the boat?”

He is also very afraid of Chen Ruhong. It is rumored that after this person was promoted to the Heaven and Human Realm, several waves of pirates in the East China Sea have been exterminated by him, and even one large pirate in the Heaven and Human Realm was among them.

That big pirate has been rampant in the waters near the East China Sea for more than 100 years, even the Donghai King of Donghaiwei and others, who have nothing to do with him, actually died in the hands of Chen Ruhong, a new celestial realm.

That battle also made Chen Ruhong famous, and for a while, all the young people in the East China Sea huddled up.

Many people speculate that Chen Ruhong’s bloodline talent is probably not simple, otherwise it would not be possible to advance so quickly and have the strength to kill the same level.

“The old man went out, of course, to slay you little ghosts.” Chen Ruhong said with an indifferent expression, “Nie Long, today is your death.”

“Chen Ruhong, don’t be too arrogant! In order to be taller than you, what are you using to kill me?” Nie Long became angry, his aura soared, and he slashed at him with a sharp knife.

This knife is not as casual as the previous one, but used all his strength in a serious manner.

“Humph~!”

Chen Ruhong snorted coldly and raised his gun to meet him without fear.

“Boom!” The

two celestial beings fought together in the air, and even the sea beneath their feet was shaken by layers of waves.

Under Chen Ruhong’s intentional or unintentional guidance, the battle between the two kept away from the Luomiao, so as not to hurt the innocent.

This scene surprised Fang Jinghui: “Ms. Luomiao, Senior Ru Hong is also secretly guarding? In this way, this wave of pirates is dead. Let’s kill the enemy together and defeat the pirates’ minions first.”

“Hey~~ Young Master Jinghui, you’re probably thinking too simplistically. The raid by the pirates this time is by no means an accident.” Wang Luomiao sighed and glanced at Fang Jinghui helplessly.

Speaking of which, this Fang Jinghui should only need to be picked up at Pangang, Liaoyuan. He has to escort back and forth in person several times. How could Wang Luomiao not know her thoughts?

It’s not that Wang Luomiao is ruthless, it’s just that there are many outstanding children in the usual family, and this Fang Jinghui’s overall performance can only be described as mediocre.

Not to mention compared to her elder brother Wang Shouzhe, even her elder brothers Shouyong and Shoulian are far behind.

Speaking of which, the shipping this time was planned by her brother Wang Shouzhe. The goods of these ten merchant ships were all genuine, but they were used as bait by her brother to lure the secret enemy into taking action.

Wang Luomiao has no way of knowing why her brother knew that something would happen, but she has witnessed too many miracles since she was a child, and she has unconditional trust in her brother.

This time, I was caught by my brother again.

“Ms. Luomiao, are you saying that this time the pirates attacked, there is a behind-the-scenes commander?” Fang Jinghui was not too stupid after all, and immediately thought of something, “Could it be that it’s Mrs. Cao? Cao Clan has always coveted the interests of our sea trade, but he offended Qing’an Zuoqiu Clan more than ten years ago, so that he can’t take care of himself.”

He just finished his words.

On the flagship of the pirates, another cultivator with a powerful breath rose into the sky, and in just a few breaths, he came to the sky above the “Luo Miao”, and he stood in the air with his hands on his back: “Your caravan, there are still days. The human realm is secretly guarding, hum, but I underestimate you. It’s a pity that with me, Cao Bangyan, none of you want to escape today.”

“Cao Bangyan! How could it be you? You, you, you are so bold. “Fang Jinghui’s face turned pale again. Compared to Nie Long’s pirates and thieves, Cao Bangyan was a very famous genius in Liaoyuan County.

And it is rumored that this son has always been ruthless and ruthless.

Anyone who offends him will end up miserably.

Fang Jinghui had even heard rumors that Cao Bangyan was a starving ghost. I don’t know how many girls from the 8th and 9th rank of aristocratic families were targeted, and they were all secretly ruined.

It’s just that these are all rumors, and there is no real evidence, and no one dares to sue Cao Bangyan.

“Fang Jinghui, hehehe~” Cao Bangyan laughed playfully, “You are too stupid, the sea of green flowers is boundless. When you are all dead, who knows what I did?”

“You…” Fang Jinghui was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and when he was about to refute a few words, Wang Luomiao gently pulled his arm and dragged him behind him, she raised her head and said loudly, “Cao Bangyan, what is the reason? , let you drive the pirates to loot our merchant ships?”

Cao Bangyan slowly floated onto the ship, staring at Wang Luomiao greedily: “Little sister, are you Luomiao, the first-line queen of the Wang family? Sure enough, as rumored, you have a sassy appearance. As long as you are willing to obey me obediently, I will spare your life.”

“Beast…” Fang Jinghui was furious, but when he was about to rush up, he was caught by Wang Luomiao, and he threw it back and threw a somersault. .

She said calmly and calmly: “You are also a genius, and you are nothing if you follow. However, our Wang family has not offended your Cao family, why do you want to do something to us?”

“Luo Miao…” Fang Jinghui fell to the ground, Shocked and saddened.

“Interesting, interesting, are you kidding me?” Cao Bangyan laughed loudly, “However, since you are such a smart little beauty, then I will let you be a sensible ghost. You Wang family, offend you. Those who can’t afford to offend will be finished soon.”

“Who did you offend?” Wang Luomiao frowned slightly, “Did we offend the ‘red-haired dragon king’ Nie Long by suppressing the pirates? Why did he have such energy to drive Young Master Cao? ”

Nie Long? I bah, Nie Long is just a dog raised by our Cao family, and he dares to drive this young master?” You little beauty, don’t be too ignorant…”

“Sister-in-law, my task has been completed, is it all recorded?” Wang Luomiao suddenly said behind him.

“It’s recorded.” A clear and cold voice sounded, and a person suddenly appeared on the side deck of the ship, a woman who was wearing a hat and weft yarn and could not see her true face.

In her slender jade hand, she also held a strange prop the size of a disc.

Anyone with a little knowledge will know that it is a very precious spiritual treasure, the “Tianji Photo Plate”.

This thing is extremely difficult to refine, and no refiner can produce it.

Only a certain crafting family in the legendary “Hanyue Xian Dynasty” can imitate the Tianji photo disk of the Shenwu Dynasty.

This item was a rare item in the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty, and it was extremely valuable in Dagan Kingdom, and it was affordable for no ordinary family.

Fifteen years ago, after Wang Shouzhe saw its magical effect, he kept it in his heart.

It took a lot of favor and money to get such a piece.

No, the critical moment played a role.

“Who are you? That’s the Tianji photo disk!” Cao Bangyan’s face froze, and he said coldly, “You guys were just kidding me?” Wang Luomiao pouted and

said, “Idiot, did you wake up now? It’s up to you. This kind of intelligence actually wants to deal with our Wang family… Who do you look down on?”

“You!” Cao Bangyan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and laughed in anger, “Okay, I admit that I was provoked by you. I will Let the two of you…”

He didn’t finish his sentence.

I saw a flash of water flashing in front of me, and I don’t know when the woman in the bucket hat had already bullied her body, lifted her wrist lightly, and gave a fluttering palm in the air.

“Boom!”

Cao Bangyan felt as if he had been hit by a desolate beast in his chest, his ribs cracked and shattered, his body flew backwards like a cannonball, and after smashing the railing of the ship, the castration did not disappear. After flying more than a hundred feet, it fell into the sea.

“This…” Fang Jinghui’s pupils shrank sharply, and the dignified Cao Clan’s Tianjiao was actually knocked into the air by someone!

Although there is an unexpected suspicion, but that mysterious woman is too powerful, right?

“嗛~~” Wang Luomiao pouted and sneered, “What arrogant Cao Bangyan, I think so much, I thought he was so powerful.”

“My sister-in-law is mighty, and my sister-in-law is domineering!

”
