Chapter 183 It’s Really Quite Neglectful

Under Gao Qiang's gaze.

The ironclad ship in the distance seemed to be just wrapped in a heavy iron sheet with a wooden hull.

At the same time, the design of the sailing mast was completely abandoned, and it was driven by a human-powered water wheel instead.

But the ramming part was not made of wood, but made of pure iron. It seemed that it should be easy to tear up ordinary wooden ships.

"Huh."

Jiu Luo suddenly made a surprised sound.

"That ironclad ship seems to be approaching us?"

At this moment, the ironclad ship turned all its guns to the opposite direction and released a friendly signal.

"Interesting."

Gao Qiang looked at the actions of the ironclad ship opposite and touched his chin thoughtfully.

When he was waiting for Long Xianyao before, he took Ye Na to the channel to play a wave of autumn wind.

In Gao Qiang's opinion, this ironclad ship might be coming for him.

"I haven't robbed many ships, so has my bad reputation spread here?"

"That's right, your bad reputation is known to everyone from the plankton on the bottom of the sea to the other side of the ocean."

Satan's flattering voice came from behind Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang rolled his eyes, "Don't praise me with the words you use to praise yourself, as if I am so evil."

However, if it is really related to the merchant ships he robbed.

Could the other party come to make him pay taxes?

Thinking about the word tax.

Gao Qiang narrowed his eyes dangerously.

When he was hesitating whether to directly call for someone to sink the other party, the ironclad ship had approached the distance where the sound could be transmitted.

On the opposite ironclad ship, a sailor was heard shouting with all his strength.

"Dear guests from the Fog City, our governor invites you to come over for a chat!"

"Fog City? Are they talking about us?" Gao Qiang looked at Jiu Luo in confusion.

Since entering the Age of Discovery, he seemed to have not seen any fog.

Jiu Luo nodded, took out the nautical chart, and pointed to the area marked with the burial ground.

"Our sea area seems to be called the Fog City Sea Area by outsiders."

"It's just a different name, you don't have to care."

After understanding the situation, Gao Qiang nodded.

Then he called Long Xianyao and the others together.

Anyway, they all had to go to the island for supplies.

Since the governor of Yushan Island was so thoughtful, it saved a lot of trouble.

Following the ironclad ship all the way, Gao Qiang finally saw the huge trade port that Qiao De mentioned.

Looking around, several huge four-masted sailing ships were docked there, and the rest of the large and small sailing ships were countless.

There were also countless sailors in rough work clothes, sweating profusely loading and unloading cargo, just like hardworking ants.

This was the largest port dock that Gao Qiang had seen except for the burial dock.

But the ironclad ship did not stop here.

Instead, it led Gao Qiang to another direction of the port.

This time, Gao Qiang saw a decreasing number of merchant ships along the way, while warships increased.

These warships were floating on the ocean on alert, blocking the merchant ships from approaching.

During this period, Gao Qiang also saw the trace of another ironclad ship.

To have two ironclad ships, Yushan Island was quite capable.

Until the moment when the ironclad ship stopped, there was no trace of merchant ships around.

This port area seemed to be completely cleared.

There was a group of honor guards waiting on the shore, the ground was cleaned spotlessly, and there was even a clean and tidy red carpet on it.

It was in sharp contrast to the scene of the sailors working hard just now that Gao Qiang saw.

He couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of the ruling class.

The cruiser was docked at the port, leaving the sailors and fishermen to guard the ship, and Gao Qiang and his party went down.

Zaka squinted and stared at Gao Qiang and others who came down from the ironclad ship.

He was not a fool, and naturally saw the difference between the other party's ironclad ship and his own.

Although the tonnage seems to be not much different, the opponent's ironclad ship does not seem to use human power at all.

The company's ship? !

Such a thought suddenly popped up in Zaka's mind.

Only the Pan-Ocean Free Trade Company, under the premise of monopolizing technology, can manufacture such a ship that is far superior to their governors in various places.

A trace of fear rose in his heart.

But Zaka did not change his original plan.

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding guard of honor played exciting music.

And Zaka put on a kind smile on his face, with a big belly, and walked past the bureaucrats to meet Gao Qiang.

"I guess you are the fleet from the Fog City?"

"I am Zaka, the governor of Yushan Island."

"I didn't expect your grand prize in advance, so I can only come to welcome you in a hurry. If I am negligent, I hope you will forgive me."

Listening to Zaka's honorific words, anyone would have a little good impression of him at first impression.

But at this moment.

Sasha glanced around and saw that there was no food at all. She couldn't help but muttered quietly: "Really quite neglectful."

......

The air froze for a few seconds.

Long Xianyao looked at Sasha in astonishment.

So facing the other party's politeness, should you respond to such words?

It was visible to the naked eye that Zhaka's smile almost didn't hold.

Facing the unknown person from the fog city.

When it was possible that it was his enemy, his first reaction was to praise him first. The higher he praised him, the more miserable the other party would fall.

The guard of honor at the moment is the highest standard of hospitality on Yushan Island.

He thought about what the other party would say to his grand welcome.

For example, he was flattered or something.

But he never expected that the other party would actually say something quite rude.

"Ahem."

Reluctantly maintaining a smile, Zaka whispered to Gao Qiang: "You see the sea breeze on the shore is humid, why don't you go to my official residence to have a chat?"

"Is he a tortoise? How can he be so patient?" Sasha subconsciously said what she was thinking.

Listening to Sasha's outspoken words, the atmosphere on the field was obviously a little awkward.

Gao Qiang gave Zaka an apologetic look.

Sasha is a perfect diplomat, but unfortunately she is only good at insulting diplomacy.

Judging from the clenched fist in Zaka's hand, he should not be calm at the moment.

The fat on his face is already prominent, but he still has to maintain a kind smile.

Gao Qiang can hardly imagine how the other party can keep his composure.

"Ahem, sorry, sorry."

Just when the atmosphere was getting tense, Long Xianyao suddenly stood up and laughed.

Pushing Sasha to hide behind Dakai.

Long Xianyao walked to Zaka openly.

"You must be the Governor Zaka of Yushan Island. I have heard of you for a long time."

Although she just knew the other party's name a few minutes ago, it did not affect Long Xianyao's politeness.

Finally, there was a normal person.

Zaka was also relieved.

If Sasha said a few more words, the conversation would definitely not continue.
