"No …" Zhi Ning said straightforwardly.
The maid was surprised for a while, then nodded, "Yes."
But not long after, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps came from outside.
"Your Highness, you … you can't go in." The maid shouted anxiously.
Then, a slightly domineering voice sounded, "Humph … This is the Yan Empire, there is no place I can't go."
Zhi Ning frowned.
Bang … Then, the door was kicked open, and a man in a golden brocade robe walked in.
The man had a jade-like face and a handsome appearance that was even comparable to Soran's. However, his eyebrows were always raised, and his chin was always raised. He always had a domineering and arrogant look.
Also, he liked to walk with his legs wide open, like a crab, wishing he could walk sideways.
He was the fourth son of the Yan Empire's Emperor, Prince Ji Min.
"Ji Min, didn't your parents teach you manners?" Zhi Ning said coldly, "You have no manners."
"So what if I'm not educated?" Ji Min said, "Who in the world can control me? Who dares to control me? You haven't even married me, and you already want to control me? "
Prince Ji Min was the number one playboy in the Yan Empire.
He was the Empress Dowager's darling, the Crown Prince's younger brother, and the Queen's youngest son.
Because the Crown Prince had already been decided, he had no interest in politics, and all he wanted was to be an arrogant and domineering king.
So basically, as he said, no one in the world dared to control him. Everyone could only flatter him and flatter him.
Basically, except for Jung Yeon, he was not afraid of anything.
The reason why he was afraid of Jung Yeon was because Jung Yeon was a woman, and she was good at martial arts.
"You just returned to Fengdu a few years ago, and now you're back?" Ji Min said, "Did you hear something about me, so you came back to control me? Let me tell you, I have a lot of affairs outside. You don't have to care about me. You won't be able to. "
With that, he lifted his robe and sat down on a chair. Then, he lifted his chin and glanced at Zhi Ning.
"Sigh, you're still so skinny, and your face is still so pale. Can't you have more meat on your body? I like women with big breasts and big buttocks. A woman like you makes me feel disgusted. "Ji Min looked at Zhi Ning with a look of disgust.
He was just like that. Zhi Ning couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. After the food was served, she directly picked up her chopsticks and ate.
Even though she didn't want to eat at all and would vomit if she did, she still ate with all her might.
There were only her and her brother left in the family. Every life was precious, so she must make the child in her belly strong.
Seeing Princess Zhi Ning's table manners, Prince Ji Min was a little shocked. He said, "Hey, hey, I'll let you have more meat. There's no hurry. Your table manners will make me lose my desire. You don't look dignified and noble at all. Oh my god, oil is still dripping from the corner of your mouth. How can I kiss you in the future? "
Princess Zhi Ning couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. This Ji Min was a chatterbox. He was very annoying.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Prince Ji Min said rudely, "I came all the way to see you, and you're ignoring me? Please, it was your brother who begged me to marry you. I don't like you. You're just a princess, and a princess of a nouveau riche kingdom. I'm a prince of the Yan Empire. We don't match each other. "
Zhi Ning said, "The engagement between us is only verbal. It's not official yet."
Prince Ji Min said, "That's why, it depends on your performance. If I'm not satisfied, then you can forget about this marriage."
At this time, Zhi Ning was eating too fast. She couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to vomit again.
Seeing this, Prince Ji Min said with disgust, "Can you be more disgusting? I'm about to vomit. What are you doing? I'm pregnant. "
Princess Zhi Ning held back her vomiting and said, "Yes, I'm pregnant with another man."
As soon as this was said, Prince Ji Min felt like he was struck by lightning.
…
On the sea, on the flagship of Queen's Island's fleet.
"Master, as a swordsman, your cultivation has reached the intermediate level of nine stars. You're only half a step away from the advanced level," Eros said.
As soon as this was said, Søren was completely shocked. "How is this possible? You were only at the intermediate level of three stars. How did you break through to six stars all of a sudden?"
Eros said, "Swordsmen have high requirements for Spirit, followed by Agility and Strength. The Dragon's Sacred Tear that I devoured this time has a lot of energy. I used a small part of it to increase my Strength, but most of it was used to increase my Spirit and Agility. Your Spirit Talent has become extremely high, so your Spirit has increased rapidly. That's why you used Dragon Power to increase your Agility. That's why you have such a huge improvement. "
Then, Eros said, "Of course, this only means that your attributes have reached the level of an intermediate level of nine stars swordsman. However, you rarely practice swordsmanship and have almost never practiced any swordsmanship. So, it doesn't mean that your swordsmanship has reached this level. "
Of course, Søren knew this. When he returned this time, if he had free time, he would definitely practice swordsmanship with Nelle.
He had learned the Nine Swords of Disaster. However, this set of swordsmanship was used to comprehend swordsmanship and improve meridians. It was not suitable for combat.
At the very least, he had to learn a set of swordsmanship that could be used in combat from Nelle.
Eros said, "Of course, your Spirit Talent is so high. No matter what swordsmanship you learn, you'll get twice the result with half the effort."
After sailing for five days, Queen Island's fleet replenished enough fresh water on an island. Then, they continued sailing towards Tianshui City's sea region.
"We'll reach Tianshui City's sea region in about three days," Yan Chao 'er (Queen) said.
Søren nodded and said, "Aunt, with the current strength of our Queen Island's fleet, how many times can we defeat the enemy?"
Yan Chao 'er said, "That depends on the enemy's strength."
Søren said, "Let's take Yingzhou's Hai family as an example."
Yan Chao 'er said, "Yingzhou's Hai family started as rock pirates. However, there aren't many rock people left in the fleet. Moreover, they've been naturalized for a long time. We can defeat the Yingzhou navy that's 1.5 times our size."
Søren said, "In other words, our 7,000 rock pirates can defend against 10,000 Yingzhou navy."
"Yes," Yan Chao 'er said, "How many enemies are we going to face?"
Søren said, "60,000 navy, 600 Sou warships, 110,000 soldiers."
Yan Chao 'er said, "In other words, ten times my strength?"
Søren nodded and said, "Yes."
Yan Chao 'er said, "How many navy does the Suo Clan originally have?"
Søren said, "A few dozen fortress ships. Their speed isn't fast. The real navy doesn't exceed a thousand."
Yan Chao 'er said, "We can't win, we definitely can't win. In a one-to-ten ratio of strength, we can't win without a miracle. "
Søren took a deep breath and agreed with Rock Queen's words.
Just the navy alone, 70,000 versus 60,000. Even if the rock pirates were strong, they couldn't win.
… …
At this time, City Lord Tuli Wen personally led 5,000 navy and a few dozen warships. They disguised themselves as pirates and entered Tianshui City's sea region for a full five days.
In these five days, they searched countless islands but found nothing.
Of course, it wasn't like they didn't find anything. On many islands, they found secret fortresses, secret tunnels, and so on.
At first, they were overjoyed, thinking they had found the Magic Mirror's secret base. But after a real investigation, they realized it was just a smokescreen.
The two of them were anxious. They searched the island along the way, but they didn't find anything.
Tuli Wen said, "With Søren's personality, he must be extremely secretive. He might not even set up the Magic Mirror's base on an island in Tianshui City's sea region. It might even be on an island in the open sea."
Tu Ningchen said, "If that's the case, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Who knows how many islands there are in the vast sea."
Tuli Wen said, "Unless we catch their supply ship."
Indeed, other than a few people, only the people on the supply ship knew the exact location of the Magic Mirror's secret base.
But there were only a few dozen sailors and warriors on the supply ship.
And these people could only stay on an island most of the time. They couldn't go to the mainland. In exchange, they could get ten times the salary and let their families live a wealthy life.
Moreover, they didn't know what their ship was transporting. They had no idea what the island they were transporting to was for.
"City Lord, a ship appeared in the southwest region," someone suddenly reported to Tuli Wen.
Tuli Wen said, "Are there any secret markings? For example, Waterfront City or Immortal Abode Island?"
"No," the sailor said, "There are no markings."
Tu Ningchen said, "It's probably a supply ship from Tianshui City to the Magic Mirror Island."
Tu Liwen ordered, "All ships, surround the ship and capture it."
"Yes." Immediately, dozens of Luanyang City's fleet, which was disguised as pirates, surrounded the ship.
…
This was indeed a supply ship from Tianshui City. It provided large amounts of food, meat, and most importantly, mercury and other materials for the Magic Mirror Island.
Moreover, Yan Nai 'er was in charge of escorting this batch of supplies.
She was busy with military affairs, so Ye Jingyu was in charge of escorting the supplies.
But this time, she didn't just have to escort the supplies. More importantly, she had to go to Pirate Cove to inquire about Søren's whereabouts.
This was because there had been no news of Søren for more than a month.
The atmosphere in the City Lord's residence was extremely uneasy.
Even though Søren repeatedly told her not to look for him, Yan Nai 'er couldn't help but decide to look for Søren herself.
Nai 'er stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the vast sea. She resisted the dizziness in her head and was filled with worry and uneasiness.
She was a little seasick, but she insisted on going out to sea.
"Madam, don't worry too much. Master will be fine," Ye Jingyu comforted her.
Nai 'er forced a smile at Ye Jingyu.
At this moment, a sailor came forward and said, "Madam, a large group of pirates has appeared behind us."
With a light leap, Nyr jumped onto the tall mast. Sure enough, she saw that tens of thousands of meters behind them were surrounded by dozens of ships.
"Full speed ahead," Nai 'er ordered loudly.
Then, the supply ship immediately changed direction and went with the wind. It rowed with all its might in an attempt to reach its maximum speed.
Even so, this was still a supply ship. It was fully loaded and drained.
"Throw away all the food and meat on the ship," Nai 'er ordered.
Immediately, apart from the sailors rowing the oars, everything else was thrown into the sea and fled east at full speed.
Even so, Nai 'er's ship was a cargo ship, so it couldn't catch up.
Luanyang City's fleet, on the other hand, was all warships, so they were much faster.
Luanyang City's fleet got closer and closer to Nai 'er, forming a semi-encirclement formation.
Four hours later, the distance between them was reduced from tens of thousands of meters to only three thousand meters.
At this time, Tu Ningchen's eyes lit up when he saw Yan Nai 'er on the supply ship. "The woman on the ship in front is Yan Nai' er, the commander of the Tianshui City Guards and Søren's future wife."
Tully said, "Then she must know the location of the Magic Mirror Island."
Tu Ningchen said, "Definitely."
Tully said, "All sailors, row as hard as you can. Full speed ahead and capture Yan Nai 'er alive!"
Instantly, all the sailors in Luanyang City's fleet rowed with all their might. The sails were full and the speed increased.
Nai 'er's supply ship was already at its maximum speed, but it was still much slower than the enemy.
Instantly, the distance between the two of them continued to shrink. Closer, closer, closer.
Two hours later, the dozens of warships from Luanyang City formed a circle and surrounded Nai 'er's supply ship.
"Surrender, Miss Yan," Lord Tully said, "I have fifty warships and five thousand navy. You only have a cargo ship with a few dozen sailors. For their lives, surrender! "
"Lord Tully?" Yan Nai 'er said coldly, "You really aren't pirates."
"How do you know me, Miss Yan?" Lord Tully asked.
Yan Nai 'er said, "My husband's painting skills are unparalleled. He has portraits of all the important enemies."
Originally, Tu Ningchen didn't plan to appear. However, after hearing Yan Nai 'er say the words "my husband" with pride, he couldn't hold it in anymore and walked out of the cabin.
Nile was only a little surprised to see Tu Lingchen, but she did not appear to be very surprised.
"Crown Prince Tu Ling is here too," Yan Nai 'er said.
After their last meeting, their relationship had been completely torn apart. That was also the last time Nai 'er called him Brother Liu Chen.
Hearing Yan Nai 'er address him in such a strange way, Tu Ningchen's face twitched and his heart ached.
"Nai 'er, surrender." Tu Ningchen said, "If possible, tell us where the secret island that produces the Magic Mirror is. Of course, it's fine if you don't tell us. You still have dozens of sailors on your ship. One of them will confess eventually. You can't kill them all right now, can you? "
Yan Nai 'er unsheathed her sword and said, "There's no such thing as surrender to me."
Tu Ningchen shook his head, "Nai 'er, your struggle is meaningless. Thousands against dozens of you, you'll definitely lose."
Yan Nai 'er said coldly, "Worst comes to worst, I'll just die."
Tu Ningchen said, "Is there any meaning to it? This is the foundation of the Suo Clan. What does it have to do with you? "
Yan Nai 'er said, "This is my husband's foundation. Naturally, it's also my foundation."
"Your husband? Søren? "Tu Ningchen sneered," He's already dead. "
Nai 'er's expression changed drastically and she said with a trembling voice, "You're lying!"
Tu Ningchen said, "Søren found a Warlock to disguise himself as Shen Lang and went to the Pirate Harbor. He successfully caught the eye of the Rock Island's Princess Yanxue and entered the Rock Islands. He almost succeeded. Even though Yanxue was his half-sister, the two still faked their marriage and he successfully obtained the Queen's Island's fleet. However, he shouldn't have returned to stop the Rock Queen from committing suicide. In the end, he was pushed into the Sea God's Abyss by the Rock Demon and died without a burial. "
As soon as these words came out, Nai 'er's vision darkened and she felt dizzy.
Then, she couldn't bear it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood. She was about to fall backward.
Because what Tu Ningchen said was the truth. She knew that Søren disguised himself as Shen Lang and entered the Rock Islands through the Pirate Harbor.
Moreover, this was top secret. It was impossible for outsiders to know. And now that Tu Ningchen said it in such detail, it could only prove that his words were true.
Søren … was really killed by the Rock Demon!
Endless coldness, endless darkness and despair welled up in her heart.
Nai 'er spat out another mouthful of blood.
Ye Jingyu hurriedly went forward and supported Yan Nai 'er.
Nai 'er forcefully opened her eyes wide and suppressed all the dizziness. She stared at Tu Ningchen and revealed incomparable killing intent.
"My husband is dead. I'll just follow him." Yan Nai 'er said coldly: "But you know this matter so clearly. You must have a part in it. I'll kill you first and avenge my husband!"
Then, Yan Nai 'er suddenly shouted and jumped off the supply ship. She stepped on a wooden plank and rushed towards Luan Yang City's City Lord Tu Liwen's flagship.
Her delicate body leaped up and jumped onto the deck of Luan Yang City's flagship. The sharp sword in her hand was like a shooting star as she stabbed towards Tu Ningchen.
Tu Ningchen's expression was ice cold. He said coldly: "Good, very good. You actually came to kill me for Søren. Then I won't show any mercy. I'll just treat it as you walking into a trap!"
Then, Tu Ningchen abruptly pulled out his sword and fought Yan Nai 'er.
And at this time, in the sea tens of thousands of meters away, hundreds of ships appeared densely packed. Each ship looked ferocious and terrifying. It was the Queen Island's fleet led by Søren!
At this time, Queen Island's fleet was like a giant beast opening its mouth and surrounded Luan Yang City's fleet.
