After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

A Bao felt guilty and stole a glance at his uncle.

However, the black-robed uncle was able to keep his composure, and his smile became more dignified and elegant.

It seemed as if he had no intention of stabbing Zhou Jin to death.

The situation was becoming increasingly awkward, weird, and tense.

A Bao smiled falsely and said firmly: "The position of Donggong Zhengfu is not a bargaining chip."

"Leave it to Pei Guichen, I understand." Zhou Jin thought he saw through it and smiled playfully.

You know a hammer!

A Bao roared in his heart and glanced at his uncle Feng Ran.

The face of the black-robed uncle was even darker.

She made a prompt decision, poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of Zhou Jin, then changed the subject: "Cloud Pine Snow Top. Master Jin, please try it. How does it taste?"

Zhou Jin stroked the rim of the celadon cup for a long time, then suddenly drank it all in one gulp.

"The tea soup is clear and the tea tastes pure." Zhou Jin looked at A Bao meaningfully, "The mood of the person who brews the tea can greatly affect the taste of the tea. It seems that the princess is in a very peaceful state of mind at the moment."

"Now that things have come to this, keeping quiet and doing nothing is the best option." A Bao smiled.

Hearing this, Zhou Jin, who had introduced himself at the beginning, became less anxious. "The Yunsong Xueding tea tributed by Shuzhou is indeed excellent. I'd like to drink a few more cups. Princess, don't you mind?"

A Bao smiled and poured another cup of hot tea, passing it to Zhou Jin, "Please."

It took nearly two or three hours to drink these two cups of hot tea.

If it weren't for the dark wind and rain, we would have just watched the night fall.

But Abao knew that Zhou Jin was competing with her in patience.

She simply took the opportunity to secretly figure out how to regain the initiative in the negotiations.

Opposite the tea table, Zhou Jin listened to the rattling of the tea room windows caused by the strong wind and heavy rain, looked at A Bao who remained silent, and finally put down the empty celadon teacup.

In this patient confrontation, Po won completely.

Zhou Jin’s patience ran out. He broke the silence and spoke up to talk about business.

"Princess, do you know how wide the Chuyue Sea is?"

The vastness of the Chuyue Sea is clearly recorded in the "Records of the Four Seas" in Wenyuan Pavilion.

A Bao was familiar with the classics in Wenyuan Pavilion, so he naturally knew it.

But she inexplicably felt that Zhou Jin's question was not intended to test her general knowledge.

Sure enough, as soon as she frowned in doubt, Zhou Jin smiled proudly and said, "Chuyuehai, if you say it's big, hundreds of boats are competing for the current; if you say it's small, all the troubles are gathered on that Sheqiu Island."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Jin looked at A Bao with a meaningful smile.

Their eyes met, and they understood each other tacitly.

A Bao sighed: So that's what it means.

The vast Chuyue Sea is filled with golden water.

As for this flowing gold mine, the pirates all regard Sheqiu Island as their supreme destination.

Among them, the leader of Sheqiu Island, Old Man Hai, is the uncrowned king of the bandits.

Further down, there are three elders.

However, the Zhou family, which joined Sheqiu Island decades ago, has the shallowest roots on the island.

A Bao roughly guessed Zhou Jin's plan.

It's just that, after decades of hard work, the Zhou family has become the elder pirate family of Sheqiu Island and is unwilling to continue to be inferior to the old man.

The thought that Sheqiu Island is not united and impregnable.

A Bao guessed that Zhou Jin came here to seek external help.

At the same time, the tea table is served.

Xuanyuan Fengran's fingertips, which were covered with thin calluses, felt hot as he wrote on her palm.

——Recruitment is very good.

A Bao silently scratched the palm of his uncle's hand.

In fact, she had this idea a long time ago, but she couldn't find a suitable ally.

Zhou Jin, is he the right person?

His mind raced, and Po looked up in confusion, waiting to see what would happen.

But Zhou Jin still thought he had the upper hand.

"After the tragic death of Old Man Hai's biological son, his adopted son gradually became more important." Zhou Jin said with a wicked smile, "Old Man Hai's adopted son is bloodthirsty, cruel and tyrannical. Enemies who fall into his hands will either die or die miserably."

A Bao didn't know Zhou Jin, but he had heard of Hai Lao's adopted son.

His surname is Hai and his given name is Xi. This is the murder weapon that Old Man Hai personally taught him to use.

Treat enemies ruthlessly.

They dug out hearts and livers, cut off hands and chopped off heads without blinking an eye.

The more Abao thought about the rumors about Ebi's adopted son, the uglier his expression became.

Seeing this, Zhou Jin smiled meaningfully, "Everyone knows that the imperial court has vowed to wipe out the pirates. However, when Hai Lao's adopted son controls the entire Chuyue Sea, the final battle to wipe out the pirates will surely kill several times more navy soldiers."

Hearing this, A Bao, who was full of doubts, asked, "The one who left the arrow and declared war was Hai Xi?"

Zhou Jin glanced at Xuanyuan Fengran beside A Bao meaningfully.

The protective attitude of the black-robed uncle was inexplicably dazzling to him.

He couldn't help but sound sarcastic.

"Does the princess intend to persuade Hai Xi to settle the matter peacefully?" Zhou Jin teased, "It will be impossible as long as King Feng Ran stays with the princess."

Po was puzzled: "Why?"

Zhou Jin said directly: "Hai Xi once swore to Old Man Hai that he would seek revenge on King Feng Ran for his sworn brother. If Hai Xi breaks this promise, he will be betrayed by his beloved and will not have a good end."

Upon hearing this, A Bao felt chilled to the bone.

Such a cruel oath.

That old man Hai probably didn't consider his adopted son as a family member.
