I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

"He must have drunk the longevity medicine himself." Lu Qiling said firmly.

"He has lived for four hundred years. If it is just to weave a lie and lie to me at the end, then he is really lying and crazy."

Lu Qiling hesitated to speak, but in fact she wanted to say that maybe this old man who has lived for four hundred years is really crazy.

Cao Xiong looked at the place where the sea and the sky meet.

Elixir of elixir... elixir of life.

Cao Xiong murmured.

Chapter 1608 Surprise for you

Wan'er sat in a carriage and slowly came to Hizen Port.

After passing the inspection by the tiger and leopard riders, a few guards of the tiger and leopard riders led her all the way to Cao Xiong's house.

"Your Majesty is not here." Xuan Jiabing at the gate of the house said.

"Where did the prince go?" Wan'er asked him strangely.

"Master Shizi went to the port coast."

Wan'er knew Cao Xiong's location, so she went to the coast again.

Big tents and wooden villages were built one by one on the Hiqian coast.

There are sentry posts all over the surrounding sea cliffs.

Near the jungle, a cage was set up to temporarily imprison the Japanese soldiers.

Cao Xiong looked at these captives with complicated emotions.

The prisoners were almost out of food.

No matter how much food is on board, the storage is limited, and the military food is almost running out.

If Cao Xiong and Wan'er can't reconcile their relationship with the tribes in Yingzhou, they can only use force to grab them.

Cao Xiong continued to patrol with his own soldiers.

He has to do all the preparations.

As soon as Cao Xiong came out of a jungle, he saw a carriage slowly coming in from the road.

"It seems that Wan'er has arrived."

Cao Xiong saw two maids accompanying the carriage.

"Let's go and meet the ambassador of Yingzhou!" Cao Xiong went down the mountain with his soldiers.

Cao Xiong rode his horse and stopped on the avenue, just in time to meet the approaching carriage.

"Your Majesty! It's Miss Wan'er." Hu Baoqi bowed his hands to Cao Xiong.

The two maids opened the car curtain and helped Wan'er down.

"Your Majesty." Wan'er also called out to Cao Xiong.

"Come here so soon, have you talked with the people from the Shangsan Family?" Cao Xiong looked at Wan'er.

"It's settled, so I'm here to find you." Wan'er nodded.

Wan'er took out a scroll from her bosom and handed it to Cao Xiong, "This is a letter written to you by Patriarch Chiba on behalf of the patriarchs of several tribes."

Cao Xiong spread out the scroll and saw the strange writing on it.

Cao Xiong's eyes twitched twice, but he still couldn't help looking at Wan'er, "I don't understand this word!"

He handed the letter to Wan'er, "Wan'er, read it for me."

Wan'er pushed the letter back, "I don't understand Japanese characters, but Xu Fu does."

"If you don't understand, you can ask Xu Fu to explain it to you."

Cao Xiong was stunned.

"All right." Cao Xiong rolled up the letter and put it away.

"Let's go." Cao Xiong pulled Wan'er's wrist.

"Where are we going?" Wan'er asked him curiously.

"Didn't I say that when I see you again, I will give you a surprise?" Cao Xiong winked at Wan'er, "Don't you want to see it?"

"I think." Wan'er nodded.

Cao Xiong still held her wrist like a big brother.

It's true that she hasn't looked forward to something for a long time.

After experiencing the battlefield, she felt that something was suppressing her heart.

Cao Xiong took her to a wooden shed by the sea.

Except for a few Xuanjia soldiers nearby, this place is still sparsely populated, and few people come here.

On the reef protruding from the sea, there is a shirtless man who is fishing in the sea.

"My son!" The soldiers saluted Cao Xiong one after another.

Cao Xiong led Wan'er all the way into the wooden shed, only then did Wan'er see a thin figure from her back.

"Sir?" Wan'er is very familiar with this figure.

The body in the white cloth robe, the exposed arms and ankles, all showed aging skin.

The old man bowed and straightened his waist, and stopped the pen he was holding.

"Himiko?" Xu Fu turned his head and saw Wan'er standing outside the shed.

As soon as Xu Fu turned around, Wan'er rushed towards him and was almost knocked down by him!

"Why did you come here?" Xu Fu looked at the girl in his arms distressedly.

"Were you captured by Cao Xiong?"

"No, it was Cao Xiong who brought me here." Wan'er turned around and found that Cao Xiong was not at the door.

"Where's Cao Xiong?" Wan'er looked at the door strangely, but Cao Xiong didn't follow.

Chapter 1609 Xu Fu and Nan Shengmi Are Still Alive

At this time, Cao Xiong was rolling up the trousers on his calf.

He went barefoot to the rocks by the sea.

On the reef, Nan Shengmi was fishing with peace of mind.

After catching Nan Shengmi on the sea, although Cao Xiong was very angry, he didn't kill him.

This person is very capable and is Wan'er's personal soldier, so he must be of great use in the future.

Now, Wan'er may stay and take the Japanese soldiers to complete the unification of Yingzhou. It is very suitable for Shengmi to assist her in case of trouble.

"My son!" Nan Shengmi saw Cao Xiong coming, and hurriedly put down his fishing rod and stood up to salute.

"No need, keep fishing, don't scare the fish away." Cao Xiong also sat on the reef.

The sea water is cool, and Cao Xiong feels very comfortable in the sea with his calf bare.

He suddenly wanted to swim and relax. It was time to pick a time and relax for himself.

But not now.

"Nanshengmi, do you know why I didn't kill you?" Cao Xiong turned to Nanshengmi, pawing at the water with his feet.

"Because I protected Himiko-sama." Nan Shengmi looked at the sea calmly.

Cao Xiong looked at the wooden barrel next to him, and Nan Shengmi had already caught several big fish in it.

"I made fish soup tonight, bring me some too." Cao Xiong pawed at the fish in the bucket with his hands, "I heard that you people from Jiangdong use the seasonings you made yourself to cook the fish soup. All delicious."

"Yes, son." Nan Shengmi continued to fish.

"Listen to your name, it doesn't look like Jiang Dong's name."

"I grew up in Zhuqian in Yingzhou when I was a child, and then I went to sea with my father, and only arrived in Jiangdong Wu County."

Cao Xiong turned his head to look at the wooden shed, and Wan'er's little head stuck out, looking at the reef.

"What you did was right." Xu Fu said to Wan'er in the room, "Only with the support of your son can you rule Yingzhou."

"You are on Yingzhou Island, you can rely on the [-] Japanese soldiers under your command, you can also rely on the gentry from Jiangdong, and you can also rely on your brother Xiong."

"Remember, you can trust the tribes of Yingzhou, but you can't rely on them."

"Why?" Wan'er turned around and looked at Xu Fu strangely.

"Because the people I let you rely on are the ones who want to use you to control Yingzhou, so they will protect you."

"And the upper three tribes in Yingzhou are just using your name to expand their power and seek benefits for themselves."

"When one day you are no longer needed, your situation will become dangerous."

"I understand." Wan'er nodded.

"There is one more person who can help you." Xu Fu outlined the lines with the pen in his hand.

"Who?"

"Nanshengmi." Xu Fu said, "He can assist you very well. You are not good at war and power, but Nanshengmi is just a very good talent to make."

"I know." Wan'er put her head outside the door again, looking at the people on the reef, "On the sea, he was the one who stopped Cao Jun for me."

"I'm so happy to see him alive!"

"I've heard about the difficulty of raising rice." Xu Fu said, "From the first time I saw him, I felt that this kid was smart since he was a child, and he could accomplish great things."

It was getting late.

Wan'er chatted with Xu Fu for a long time.

Nan Shengmi came back from the outside with a wooden barrel containing fish and shrimp, and was about to start a fire outside the wooden shed to cook.

"It's hard to grow rice." Wan'er heard the movement outside, and knew that someone had come back.

"Lord Himiko." Nan Shengmi bowed his hands to Wan'er.

"Where is the prince?" Wan'er searched on the coast and rocks, but did not see Cao Xiong.

"The prince has gone back." He said to Wan'er, "The prince said that if Master Himihu is satisfied with this surprise, we can talk about the matter of Yingzhou Island tomorrow."

Wan'er shook her head, "This matter should be done sooner rather than later."

Wanxin thought about the Japanese soldiers who were still imprisoned outside, "There are still many of our prisoners who have not been released."

"Himiko is right." Xu Fu came over and said to Nan Shengmi and Wan'er, "But, don't disappoint the prince's wishes. Let's go to the prince after dinner."

Chapter 1610 I Can't Bear It

At night, many bonfires are lit on the coast.

The tiger and leopard riders on the shore also sat around the campfire, some drinking wine and some eating meat.

Cao Xiong and Lu Qiling gathered in front of a grand bonfire, each holding a wooden fork with a big fish on the end of the fork.

Lu Qiling held up the grilled fish and put it on the firewood. After a while, the smell of the grilled fish permeated the air.

"Wow~~~" Lu Qiling was immersed in the fragrance, closing her eyes and sniffing the fragrance with her nose.
