Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 518 Tyrant Chen Jiu Si (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Watching Chen Jiu Si turn and leave, Gouzi couldn't hold back anymore. He really wanted to leave with his master, but he couldn't bear to leave his family.

At this moment, all she could do was watch Chen Jie's retreating figure and cry silently, after all, he was just a seven or eight-year-old child.

At this moment, Erniu was staring blankly at Chen Jie's back as he held the Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber manual given to him by Chen Jie. The fisherwoman beside him was also staring blankly at Chen Jie as he walked away, while looking at the unbelievably beautiful gold hairpin inlaid with rubies in her hand.

The jewelry Chen Jie wore was no ordinary item. Although this gold hairpin was of average quality in Chen Jie's possession, it was still a treasure stolen from the emperor's treasury in the Great Qian Kingdom.

In layman's terms, it would be perfectly acceptable to call it priceless, because it truly is priceless.

If this hairpin were sold to the common people, it would be worth at least one or two thousand taels of silver. The gold itself is secondary; the main thing is the fiery red gemstone on it.

Of course, none of this was very important to Chen Jie, since in his eyes, one or two thousand taels of silver was no different from one or two taels of silver.

Old Zhong looked at Chen Jie's retreating figure and said, "Alright, everyone, calm down. There are many injured people on the island, and we should all go and help them."

"As for 94, he's someone we can never reach in our lifetime. We just need to avoid causing him trouble."

At this point, Uncle Zhong thought to himself, "Have a safe journey!"

Chen Jie went straight to the beach in front of him, where he saw that the first mate had already piled up heaps of grain on the shore. This amount of grain should be enough for the entire island's inhabitants to eat and drink for one or two years without having to do any work.

Meanwhile, the first mate was already standing on the beach with more than twenty crew members.

A ship was floating in the sea not far away, but it did not approach the island directly. Instead, it used a small sampan as a landing boat.

Since the island in front of them had no port, large ships could not get close enough, so they could only send small boats ashore.

At this moment, the first mate looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Sir, shall we set off?"

After hearing the first mate's words, Chen Jie glanced at him and said, "Don't mention me, Captain."

"Yes, Captain, shall we set sail?"

The first mate asked Chen Jie a question, and Chen Jie replied, "Let's go."

As he spoke, the first mate immediately ordered the sailors to push the small sampan that was stranded on the beach into the sea. Chen Jie jumped onto the small sampan, and the first mate immediately directed the sailors to row the boat closer to the large ship in front of them.

Soon they arrived at the pirate ship sailing on the high seas.

The pirate ship was an early Clark sailing ship with a double-deck structure, 20 meters long, and a load capacity of 600 tons. It was a classic three-masted sailing ship with a speed of 4-5 knots, and could reach 6-8 knots with the wind.

There is a main cannon at the bow, with a small muzzle, capable of firing four-pound shells.

Overall, this is a small warship that is not very powerful!

It was a small pirate ship, quite common at sea. Chen Jie boarded the ship and counted the crew. Besides the first mate, there were thirty-four sailors.

At this moment, led by the first mate, all the sailors came to Chen Jie. Chen Jie stood on a wooden barrel and looked at the pirates in the room, saying, "I know you are curious about who I am and why I am here."

"I have no interest in telling you who I am. Just remember that I am your captain, One-Eyed Dragon."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the arena looked at Chen Jie in astonishment. Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Chen Jie then performed a miraculous transformation right in front of everyone. He took out a human skin mask to protect his face and used his bone-shrinking technique. In a moment, their captain, the one-eyed pirate, appeared in the arena.

At that moment, Chen Jie reached out, and the first mate, who had already been informed, immediately handed him an eye patch for a one-eyed man. Chen Jie put on the eye patch, looked at the people in the room, and said, "Now you know who I am, right?"

The pirates in the arena immediately gasped in shock; they had never seen such a terrifying ability before.

This is simply a miracle.

Chen Jie had nothing to explain. The reason he displayed this disguise technique was mainly to tell the pirates that his methods were ever-changing and that they should not try to play tricks on him, especially after taking his poison.

If he wanted, the life and death of everyone in the arena could be decided in a single thought.

These pirates at sea are seasoned veterans who have been around for many years. If you try to appease them, they will definitely not submit to you. Therefore, there is only one way to deal with these veterans: use violence to fight violence.

If you are stronger than them, if you can scare them, they will behave like a placenta.

If you show even the slightest weakness, or if they see through your true nature, then I'm sorry, what awaits you is either betrayal or assassination. In short, if you want to intimidate them, you must make them both fear and dread you.

Of course, the downside of this method of governance is that under high pressure, it is difficult to cultivate truly loyal subordinates, and it is also difficult to entrust them with their own affairs and let them take charge independently.

This is why tyranny makes it difficult to maintain stability for long.

However, Chen Jie wasn't going to be the boss of this group of sea junk. The reason he took in these pirates was that it would be difficult for him to operate such a large ship by himself.

For ocean voyages, he would need a large ship, so Chen Jie did not remove all the marine debris.

Otherwise, none of these people will be able to leave Fisherman's Island alive.

So Chen Jie boarded the ship using the most violent means and announced that the ship was now his. Sure enough, under Chen Jie's cunning methods, these old pirates were terrified. They looked at each other and remembered the poison they had taken, which made them even more afraid.

Chen Jie then changed his appearance, appearing before everyone as a one-eyed dragon, and said: "I know you have many questions in your hearts, but I have no interest in explaining them to you. Just remember one thing, and that is to obey. Anyone who dares to disobey will not see the sun rise tomorrow."

"Alright, I'm going to announce the only ironclad rule on this ship: you must obey the captain's will. Anyone who dares to disobey the captain's will will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks."

"Alright, I've finished speaking. Now it's your turn. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

Chen Jie asked directly, and upon hearing this, none of the pirates dared to object; they all remained silent in agreement. Chen Jie then said to his first mate behind him, "Alright, leave everything to the first mate. Our destination is the Sosa Islands. Let's set sail!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the first mate immediately shouted, "Bullhead, raise the sails! You few, weigh anchor! Helmsman, hard to starboard! Destination: Sosa Islands!"

"Yes!"

At the first mate's command, the group of pirates who made their living on the high seas immediately got to work, and soon the large ship was set sail.

Chen Jie then went up to the lookout tower on the mainmast to look into the distance, and then jumped down. The first mate immediately prepared the finest chilled wine and roast meat for Chen Jie, which were reserved for the most distinguished people on the ship.

Chen Jie didn't stand on ceremony. He drank the first mate's wine and ate meat. At that moment, he saw a group of sailors busy with their own tasks, but a small group of sailors huddled together and whispered among themselves.

Chen Jie's hearing was exceptionally sharp; he could hear the group of crickets chirping about him.

In particular, the leader, a shifty-eyed fellow, was now urging the others: "Once the ship enters the Sosa Islands, we'll go to Prince Wuping to complain. I recognize this guy; he's the notorious pirate from the South Seas that Prince Wuping has put a bounty on."

"If we report him, we can get the position of general in Siam, and have a thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land to live like masters."

"Isn't this the life we've always dreamed of?"

These people huddled together whispering. Watching them, Chen Jie said to the obsequious first mate beside him, "Guess what they're saying?"

Seeing this, the first mate said, "Hehe, sir, after the ship sets sail, the sailors will have a short rest time, so they often get together to chat. If you don't want them to, I can have them disperse."

Chen Jie then took a sip of wine and said to the first mate, "Shall I ask you to guess what they're saying?"

The first mate's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He said, "What could they possibly be saying? They're definitely talking about the women in that brothel. We can't help it, sometimes we don't even get off the ship for months, the brothers are all going stir-crazy..."

As he was saying this, Chen Jie unexpectedly spoke up, "When we get to the Sosa Islands, we'll cover for you. Shui Gui, go find Wu Ping Wang's men and report him!"

"Tell them we've found the notorious pirate from Southeast Asia, and we'll split the reward equally!"

Chen Jie then repeated the conversation between the people opposite him, sentence by sentence. Upon hearing this, the first mate's face immediately turned ashen. He knew that Chen Jie was repeating the conversation from the other side.

He cursed inwardly, "These idiots! How dare they so arrogantly discuss these things openly here? Aren't they courting death?"
Thinking of this, the first mate took a deep breath, wanting to say something, but Chen Jie spoke up instead: "Let me ask you a question, if there are five fewer people on this ship, will it affect the ship's sailing?"

The first mate was taken aback, not understanding what Chen Jie meant.

Chen Jie said, "This is the second time. Next time I ask you a question, I don't want you to hesitate, do you hear me?"

The first mate was startled, and immediately replied, "Yes, Captain, I understand."

"Five fewer people won't affect the ship's movement."

Chen Jie chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Very good, you are very honest."

After saying this, Chen Jie looked at the first mate and said, "Go and tell them that their plan has been exposed. I'll give them one cup of wine to escape. After that, I'll start the massacre!"

Upon hearing this, the first mate was taken aback, then looked at Chen Jie, who asked, "What are you trying to say?"

The first mate dared not say anything more and ran over there, where the five guys were still whispering among themselves, thinking about going ashore to report Chen Jie.

Just then, the first mate ran over and said, "What nonsense are you bunch of bastards spouting? You want to report the captain? Are you all crazy?!"

"Huh? First mate!" The group turned around and saw the first mate, all looking surprised. They hadn't expected him to come looking for them at this time, and they all stared at him in astonishment.

The first mate then spoke up: "Why are you all staring at me like that? Your secret has been discovered, you bunch of stupid trash. Get out of here! The captain said you only have time for a drink!"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned. The next moment, they looked at the first mate and pleaded, "Ah, first mate, you can't abandon us! You have to save us! Save us!"

The first mate, his face dark, said, "You want me to save you? Where were you all before? A bunch of damned bastards! Now that you've caused trouble, you want me to save you? Where am I supposed to save you? You bunch of bastards, good luck to you!"

The first mate, his face dark, shouted sternly. Hearing his words, several sailors immediately retorted, their faces also darkening. "What do you mean, First mate? Aren't you going to abandon us?"

The first mate said, "Go find whoever can take care of you. I can't handle this."

Upon hearing this, the sailors panicked. At this moment, the shifty-eyed leader gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, let's fight him to the death! Today, it's either him or us; there's absolutely no chance of a peaceful resolution!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and then someone said, "But we can't beat him."

The shifty-eyed fellow said, "This is the deep sea. If we fall into the water, it will be almost impossible for us to survive, and he will not let us go. The only thing we can do now is to rush in together."

"I don't believe he can kill us all at once."

After hearing what the shifty-eyed guy said, the other pirates also made up their minds. They glared at each other, their eyes bloodshot, and pulled out their knives.

The first mate was helpless when he saw them pull out knives. Weren't they courting death?

Thinking this, they walked towards Chen Jie, who was drinking red wine with a calm smile on his face as he watched the five pirates approach.

At this moment, the five pirates arrived in front of Chen Jie. The shifty-eyed pirate roared, "Captain, we only said a few bad things about you, and you want to kill us all? We've never seen such a domineering captain. Today we'll fight you to the death! Kill us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shifty-eyed pirate waved his hand, and the other four stupid pirates rushed forward.

But he was a step too slow, wanting to see Chen Jie's true strength.

Chen Jie looked at the newcomer, then downed the glass of red wine in one gulp. The next moment, he gave a sharp shake, and with a crack, the ceramic glass in his hand shattered into pieces.

The next moment, Chen Jie waved his hand, and the fragments rushed directly towards the attacking pirates.

Swish, swish, swish!
With the sound of shards cutting through the air, the three pirates at the forefront were instantly struck by three ceramic shards, their heads exploding like watermelons with a series of loud bangs.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the surrounding pirates turned ashen-faced at the sight, looking utterly miserable.

At this moment, the last of the four pirates who had charged forward saw the fate of his companions and turned to run away in fear. But just then, another piece of porcelain flew over and smashed his head open with a bang.

Now only the shifty-eyed pirate remained.

The man was completely terrified and immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Captain, I know I was wrong, please spare my life, Captain, please spare my life."

At this moment, Chen Jie stood up and walked step by step toward the kneeling, shifty-eyed pirate, looking at him and saying, "You're a clever man."

The pirates didn't dare to speak, while Chen Jie continued, "Unfortunately, I don't like a clever fellow like you."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and the next moment, with a bang, his head exploded, and blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground.

Even the most knowledgeable and experienced pirates, who were used to seeing countless killings and carnage, trembled at the sight of this horrific scene.

I don't know who said it, but someone said, "Tyrant!"

The others immediately agreed, saying that the captain was indeed a tyrannical king.

stomping on...

Chen Jie then turned around and said to the first mate behind him, "Clean the deck clean. I don't like things stained with blood."

"Ah, yes!"

The first mate was filled with fear. He immediately shouted to the sailors around him to help throw the headless, fearless corpse into the sea to feed the fish. At the same time, he ordered the sailors to squat down and use rags to clean all the bloodstains off the deck.

Chen Jie then went directly to the One-Eyed Dragon's captain's cabin, sat down in his chair, and looked at everything in front of him.

It was like a tyrannical ruler who reigned supreme.

From that moment on, everyone on the ship began to call Chen Jie a new name: Tyrant.

Chen Jie didn't care about this at all. He didn't care much about whether the emperor was a tyrant or not. What he cared about was whether he had achieved his goal.

To deal with these ruthless and inhumane pirates, the only way is to use even more ruthless and inhumane methods to deter them.

Sure enough, they didn't dare to cause any trouble during the rest of the trip.

After three days and three nights of sailing, the ship arrived directly near the Sosa Islands.

The Sosa Islands, located in the South China Sea, are a particularly large group of islands. There are many islands here, and the Kingdom of Siam and other Southeast Asian countries each led their own armies to occupy some of the islands, thus creating a standoff.

At this point, Chen Jie and his group arrived directly at the main island of the area occupied by the Kingdom of Siam: Conch Island.

At this moment, warships were seen gathered around Conch Island, many of which were flying various pirate flags. As soon as Chen Jie's ship arrived, the first mate ordered the sailors to hang up their pirate flags, and by the way, the flag of the Siamese elephant.

Then one sees Chen Jie's three-masted sailing ship, with a giant elephant symbolizing the Kingdom of Siam hanging on the mainsail.

The pirate flag was hoisted above the hull sail. The pirate flag had a special symbol on it, which was the skull and crossbones symbol on the flags of all pirates on the high seas.

This led to the development of other designs, such as the One-Eyed Pirates, which featured a skull with a single eye.

At this point, the ship raised its flag and began to approach the coast of Conch Island.

At this moment, Chen Jie looked and saw that there were nearly a hundred warships around Conch Island. Among them, thirty warships were the most advanced and all flew the giant elephant flag. They were the Royal Navy of Siam, commanded by the first prince of Siam, King Na Xuan, who was in charge of the country!
Then there were his thirty powerful warships, which were the main warships in this battle.

Following them were some shoddy, substandard pirate warships, like the One-Eyed Dragon.

There are probably seventy or eighty ships in total. These warships were recruited by King Wu Ping, who promised them that as long as they agreed to this naval battle, they would receive high-ranking positions and generous salaries, and would become affiliated navies of the Kingdom of Siam, where they would also be able to earn a living from the imperial rations!

Such a temptation was too great for these pirates; in this day and age, who wouldn't want a government job?

Thus, this group of people were directly lured over and became a motley crew under King Wuping.

Of course, while these pirates were a rabble, their opponents were no better off; they were the allied forces of the Southeast Asian nations.

The commander-in-chief was the national advisor of the Zhenla Kingdom, the one-eyed tiger, Libona.

Libona gathered the remaining forces from various Southeast Asian countries to form a joint fleet of over 120 warships, but their combat strength was far inferior to that of the elite forces under King Wuping.

Especially in naval battles, King Wuping was able to deploy his troops in formations that directly increased his strength exponentially.

Libona was initially forced into retreat by King Wuping and was almost completely defeated. If they were defeated, the entire Southeast Asia would be without any fighting force, and the entire Southeast Asia would only have one fate: to be destroyed and annexed by Siam.

At the most dangerous moment, two ships arrived and changed the course of the battlefield, thus giving rise to Zhang Dingbian, a renowned war god in the Nanyang Allied Forces.

That's right, it was Zhang Dingbian. And at the most critical moment of this naval battle, when the Southeast Asian countries were suffering repeated defeats, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Dragon Sect suddenly arrived and brought this war god with her.

At first, no one thought this God of War was that powerful, and they didn't think much of him. But out of consideration for the Dragon God Cult, Libona let him command a small-scale battle.

As a result, the Southeast Asian countries won the battle in one fell swoop, directly undermining the image of King Wuping as an invincible force.

At this moment, the allied forces of the Southeast Asian nations realized the might of this war god.

Following this, the God of War commanded several more battles, retaking all the battles in which the Southeast Asian countries had previously been at a disadvantage, and turning the tide.

In a short time, the countries of Southeast Asia realized the power of this war god, and at the same time, they directly regarded him as the main commander of this war and treated him as an honored guest.

Once Siam's initial invincible momentum was curbed, its unparalleled and overwhelming fighting power vanished, leading to the current protracted war.

For the time being, neither side could gain the upper hand.

Under these circumstances, King Wuping began to send his pirate gangs to collect grain, preparing sufficient military provisions in preparation for a decisive battle with the South Seas.

The battle cannot be delayed any longer. If it drags on any longer, King Wuping is truly afraid that he will lose the resources to compete with that war god!
