Shocking News
"It seems that He Jingtao is determined to kill me!"
Luo Zheng felt a chill in his heart. He Jingtao had completely disregarded the Marquis of Calm Sea's face by saying these words.
Sure enough, although the Marquis of Calm Sea's expression didn't change, his eyes became sharp and his aura changed abruptly. A young man with an unconventional demeanor suddenly exuded an astonishing aura.
It was like an unsheathed sword that shone with a cold light!
"What do you think, Marquis?"
He Jingtao's face turned pale and a chill ran down his spine. His heart beat wildly, but he couldn't take back what he had said, so he could only bite the bullet.
The Marquis of Calm Sea's eyes kept flashing. Although He Jingtao's words were right, he was the ruler of the Calm Sea Army. Who dared to use their status to suppress him?
Not to mention He Jingtao, even Prince Yu Yan wouldn't dare to be so bold.
However, he was hesitant. If he ignored He Jingtao now, not only would he offend Prince Yu Yan, but he would also be impeached by others in the future.
He Jingtao was right. Even if he was the Marquis of Calm Sea, he had no reason to oppose punishing Luo Zheng and Yu Yan with the status of the Five Saints Army.
However, if he let He Jingtao have his way today and this matter spread out, the Marquis of Calm Sea's prestige in the Hundred Battles Dynasty would be greatly damaged. Even if he was given the title of Marquis of a different surname in the future, he would still be criticized for being suppressed by a first-grade general.
At this moment, Shi Hongyu was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Marquis, I have something to say."
Just at this moment, Luo Zheng, whose expression had been indifferent and calm all this while, opened his mouth.
"Humph, Luo Zheng, what else do you want to say?" He Jingtao stared coldly at Luo Zheng.
"Let him speak."
The Marquis of Calm Sea said indifferently. Luo Zheng was still so calm at this moment, which made him a little curious.
"This is a matter of great military importance. If it is leaked out, no one can bear the responsibility, so I can only report to you."
Luo Zheng glanced at He Jingtao and said with a smile.
"What other tricks are you trying to play?!" He Jingtao's face turned even colder as his eyes flickered. "Do you still want to escape the punishment of the military might rod?"
"General He, this matter is too important for you to bear. Wait for me to report this to the Marquis. If you still dare to say that you want to punish us, I won't even blink an eye even if you give me a hundred strikes, let alone fifty. "
Luo Zheng said with a smile on his face.
"One … one hundred …"
Yan Long, who was listening at the side, felt his legs go weak. His vision turned black, and he fainted.
"Well, let's do as Luo Zheng said. You can leave first."
The Marquis of the Calm Sea waved his hand at He Jingtao.
"Hmph, I'll personally administer the punishment." He Jingtao nodded with a cold smile and left the room.
"Alright, Luo Zheng. You can speak now. I've set up a formation in my tent. No one can pry into it."
The Calm Sea Marquis said.
"Marquis, please wait for a moment. This matter is related to Senior Brother Yan. Let me wake him up first."
Luo Zheng nodded and walked over to pinch Yan Long's philtrum a few times. Yan Long finally woke up and said with a trembling voice, "Junior Brother Luo, are you trying to kill me? The military might rod can turn me into minced meat …"
"Hahaha, since you're going to die with fifty or a hundred, why don't you just die a quick death? Moreover, the Marquis might not be willing to let us die. Have you forgotten about the Phantom Pirates? "
Luo Zheng helped Yan Long up and said with a smile.
"What did you say? Luo Zheng, the matter you mentioned is related to the Phantom Pirates? "The Marquis of the Calm Sea was instantly interested.
The Phantom Pirates often went against the Calm Sea in the South Demon Sea, causing the Calm Sea to suffer heavy losses. Last time, the Brave Battalion was almost wiped out because of the demonic beasts sent by the Phantom Pirates.
The Marquis of the Calm Sea had been fighting with the Phantom Pirates on the South Demon Sea for dozens of years. However, the Phantom Pirates were very difficult to deal with.
"That's right! Marquis, this time, my Senior Martial Brother Yan and I went through a lot of hardships and dangers. We spent a total of three months searching the vast Southern Demon Sea day and night, and finally found the lair of the Ghost Pirates! "
Luo Zheng looked at the Marquis of the Calm Sea and said with a serious face.
Yan Long was imprisoned by the Phantom Pirates for three months. After being rescued, he still had lingering fears. He didn't expect such a huge contribution.
He also came to a sudden realization, and his old face couldn't help but turn red. He had indeed gone through many hardships and dangers, and had been locked up on the Ghost Island day and night. However, this credit didn't seem to have anything to do with him.
However, this was a huge contribution. Luo Zheng was willing to give him half of it. He really couldn't refuse.
At this moment, Yan Long looked at Luo Zheng and was so moved that his eyes turned red. He was speechless.
"Are you serious?!"
Hearing this, the Marquis of the Calm Sea lost his composure. The ancient book that he always held in his hand fell to the ground. He rushed in front of Luo Zheng and grabbed him, excitedly asking.
This news was truly too shocking. The Phantom Pirates had run amok on the South Demon Sea for many years, causing people to tremble in fear. However, they had never been able to find the Phantom Pirates' lair.
If they really found the Phantom Pirates' lair, then the Marquis of the Calm Sea could lead an army to exterminate them. The sea trade route between the Hundred Battles Dynasty and the South Demon Sea would be much smoother. The South Demon Sea was rich in resources and the Hundred Battles Dynasty would be able to obtain astonishing benefits.
With this contribution, the Marquis of the Calm Sea would be granted the title of Marquis of a different surname. No one would be able to stop this!
"I don't have the guts to deceive the Marquis."
Luo Zheng smiled. "Not only did I find the location of the Phantom Island, but I also know that the Phantom Island is not on the surface of the sea. It can float up and down at will. In addition, I also brought an important member of the Phantom Pirates to guide the army!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this boy is really my lucky star!"
The Marquis of the Calm Sea was indescribably happy. He stared at Luo Zheng with an incomparably gentle gaze that was filled with affection.
"This Marquis of the Calm Sea looks too young and feminine. Could it be that he has some special hobbies?"
