Etiquette and law may not necessarily make a person who is a great evil person change his appearance and do great good. However, if a person learns to respect his parents since childhood and carves the word filial piety into his bones, he dare not say that he must be a filial son after he becomes an adult, but don’t ask whether it is much better than those children who have been rebellious since childhood and have no father or mother in their eyes.

However, Luo Shixin was determined to have a big battle with Zhang Zhongjian regardless of winning or losing. Because martial arts reached his level, it was extremely difficult to find an opponent. It was extremely rare to be able to have a happy duel with an opponent of equal strength. It would be of great benefit to his own martial arts.

But no matter whether this fight can be fought or not, in Luo Shixin's eyes, Zhang Zhongjian, the bearded guest, was his master's brother, his elder, and secondly, his wife's savior. Facing the bearded guest, Luo Shixin had to give him enough respect even if he was eager to fight.

Zhang Zhongjian twisted his beard and smiled, "The chief manager has a grand temperament, but Zhang Zhongjian dared not rely on his seniority. We people in the world have always been concerned about their relationship. The pharmacist is my second brother, and it is true that the chief manager's mentor is the mentor. But you and I don't have to force each other because of this relationship. Today, I came to the chief manager to make a deal with the chief manager based on peer relationships."

Luo Shixin was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly thought of Pei Qingyi. Zheng Liwan once said that Zhang Zhongjian and a group of friends from the world went overseas and gained a foothold on Daoyuan Island among the 72 islands in Haidong. The 72 islands in Haidong are hanging overseas and relied on their own. They do not participate in secular disputes, but there are conflicts in the world where there are people.

Although the Seventy-Two Islands are hanging overseas, there are many rare resources on the island that are peeking at by pirates.

Zhang Zhongjian's first arrival at Daoyuan Island was boycotted by many islanders, but they brought the science and culture of the Tang Dynasty to the residents of the island. He gradually gained recognition from the islanders and became a member of the island. The reason why Zhang Zhongjian became the owner of the Seventy-Two Islands was the attack of pirates. With the cultural knowledge brought by Zhang Zhongjian, the life of the Seventy-Two Islands was significantly changed. They learned to use big nets to catch fish, learn to dig soil to build houses, learn to make salt, learn to dig gold ore, master the use of iron tools, and their lives became richer.

It turns out that pirates don’t care about them often, and the things they disdainful of them gradually attracted a large number of pirates.

Zhang Zhongjian trained the islanders to kill enemies and resisted pirates. Until once, the pirates invaded on a large scale. The islanders of the Seventy Two Islands retreated step by step. Zhang Zhongjian turned the tide at the critical moment and led the islanders of the Seventy Two Islands to defeat the strong with the advantage of the Seventy Two Islands to defeat the strong with the weak. Zhang Zhongjian had already won respect for spreading advanced culture and improving the lives of the islanders. This time, he pushed his reputation to the peak and was promoted to the lord of the Seventy Two Islands.

Zhang Zhongjian made a deal with him during the war, and the content of the transaction must be related to this conquest...

"Is it?"

Luo Shixin made an invitation gesture calmly: "Since the senior is here for business, please enter the account and discuss in detail."

Zhang Zhongjian was not polite and took the lead.

Pei Qingyi followed him and paused beside Luo Shixin and said, "I was bored in Chang'an and missed my master. I went to Daoyuan Island. I happened to encounter an unpleasant problem, so I asked my master to come to you."

Luo Shixin nodded. Although Pei Qingyi lived in his mansion, he was a free man, and no one could interfere in her life or think about it. He just asked: "Pingyang, Liwan, and Xiaohuzha are all okay."

Pei Qingyi said quietly: "Everything is very good."

Luo Shixin was in a deep heart and walked into the military camp with her.

When he arrived at the Central Army Commander's tent, Luo Shixin asked Zhang Zhongjian and Pei Qingyi to take his seat.

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Although it was the first time I met the Grand Chief and I, the relationship is quite good. My second brother also has Qingyi and Li Wan. I have been intimate with the Grand Chief. I have been intimate with the Grand Chief. I dare not talk about the Grand Chief. But I know very well. I believe the Grand Chief has also heard of some of my deeds in recent years. I should have heard of the pirates attacking the 72 islands of Haidong that year, right?"

Luo Shixin nodded and said, "But I heard that my senior was elected as the owner of the Seventy-Two Islands because of that attack, right?"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Yes, when the pirates attacked, I found it strange. In the Haidong area, there were many pirates, but most of them were outlaws from Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Yamato. They either made trouble or were forced by life, and they were just mobs and made small fuss. They were just accidental plundering property. They had no possibility of gathering and launching a large-scale attack. In addition, the pirates who attacked at that time were well-trained and well-equipped, which was definitely not something that the pirates could possess."

Luo Shixin said calmly: "When I heard Miss Qingyi talk about this, I also had some doubts in my heart. I just didn't understand the situation and didn't think about it. The seniors also had this idea, so it would be impossible to be wrong. I guess it was the regular army of Baekje or Yamato. The 72 Haidong Kingdoms where you are located is located at the junction of Yamato and Baekje, and have certain strategic value. It is not surprising that they have the idea of ​​controlling this place. Of course, there is Silla, and they are unlikely, but they do not rule out that they want to control the 72 Islands and open a waterway channel to contact my Tang Dynasty through the 72 Islands."

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and sighed, "The Grand Chief, like my second brother, has the ability to predict things as God. As the Grand Chief, as the Grand Chief, thought, when the Seventy-Two Islands became stronger, Baekje, Silla, and Yamato all sent envoys to discuss surrender with the elders on the island. The Seventy-Two Islands were used to being casual and refused one by one. Only then did the pirates launch a large-scale attack. After becoming the island master, I sent someone to intervene this matter. The person behind this scene was the guardian of Kyushu Island in Yamato."

"It's a little Japanese again!" Luo Shixin was not surprised when he heard this. Japan was the most suspicious. They were trapped in a small island country and dreamed of expanding outward, but they had no success.

Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "It seems that the Grand Chief still has a certain understanding of Yamato."

At this time, Japan was not called Japan, but Yamato, but as they gradually moved from slave society to feudal society, they paid more and more attention to their own country's name. At that time, Japan changed it to Fuso because of the slightest insult, and later changed it to Yamato. In recent years, they also called themselves the Sunrise Country, indicating that Japan is the center of the world. The name of Japan originated from the Sunrise Country, and gradually became the name of Japan.

Luo Shi believed that Zhang Zhongjian was misunderstood, but he did not explain.

Zhang Zhongjian continued, "Although I had the desire to take revenge at that time, I had no power to take revenge, so I could only endure this breath. Not long ago, Yamato sent an envoy to find him again. This time they spoke tough and left no room for anything, indicating that if they did not surrender, no grass would grow in the seventy-two islands." Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "When we came to Daoyuan Island, we were just tired of our original life, and wanted to leave the world, find a place beyond our world, and be free and easy. But we didn't want to bring the people of the seventy-two islands into a dangerous situation, and we felt really guilty."

Luo Shixin said: "There is no fair in the world, and the survival of the strong is the principle of survival. The predecessors did not hear that the jackals, tigers and leopards are fierce, which would cause harm to the world. But if there were no jackals, tigers and leopards, all kinds of herbivorous creatures would be spread all over the mountains and fields, devouring forests and grasslands. In a thousand years, there might be no green things in the world. Similarly, if there were no human hunting, wolves, tigers and leopards flooded and ate all creatures, their only food was us humans. All things born in nature were the survival of the strong and fertile. If the islanders of the seventy-two islands had no guidance from their predecessors, they would improve their lives and improve their combat effectiveness, which attracted the attention of Yamato. They might not have threatened them, but would come directly to the door and destroy you."

Zhang Zhongjian was stunned for a while and sighed: "It's amazing, really amazing. I am roaming the world and being young and energetic, but I feel that I have one person and one sword in the world that swept across the five lakes. Only after thirty years old did I realize that it's much harder to keep people under a knife than killing with a sword. After that, I have experienced all kinds of things in the world and realized that it's better to convince people than to kill people. It's not until the time has been cut off before that I know the way of nature, killing as I wish. Some people can guide them upward, but some people cannot stop killing. The general manager is young, but he understands the principle of survival of all things in nature. It's really amazing."

Luo Shixin was a little moved. Zhang Zhongjian was talking about martial arts cultivation. He actually understood the truth of nature of all things. In terms of martial arts, he was indeed much inferior to the old man in front of him. Although he knew this principle, he was not as good as Zhang Zhongjian's feeling of being immersed in his work because of his foresight for thousands of years. Perhaps he might not lose to him with real swords and guns, but in terms of his own cultivation, Zhang Zhongjian was indeed above him. The 40 years of experience that differed between them could not be easily compensated.

Luo Shixin returned to his senses and said strangely: "Senior, why did Yamato force you to surrender to him at this time?"

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the only thing that is certain is that they are not aimless. The people I sent have found that their navy is gathering, and the person responsible for this guide is Daming who comes forward to pretend to be a pirate. He has failed once, has experience in attack, and this time it is the support of the Emperor Yamato, and he has absolute advantages in all aspects. Although the islanders of the Seventy-Two Islands have been trained by me and have good combat power. However, they are islanders after all, and there are no warships suitable for fighting, no armored weapons, and lack long-range weapons such as bows, arrows, and crossbows. They are much inferior in number. If they really fight, there will be a lot of danger. Just as Qingyi came to the island, he asked me to come to the chief manager to find the situation. This is better to say that the transaction is a request for help from the side. At most, we can only give the chief manager a victory here."

"That may not be!" Luo Shixin took a pen from his desk and went to the map on the right. "Senior, don't recommend drawing the location of the 72 Islands in Haidong on this map." (To be continued...)
