"By the way," Xin Yue's voice suddenly became colder and his expression became very calm, "What are you going to do next?"

"What's next?" Chu Zhiling stopped smiling and looked at her slightly confused.

Xin Yue raised his head, his eyes as clear as water: "Now that the Dutch army is in decline, will you still attack the imperial court with them?"

When attacking the arsenal of the Castle of Geranze that day, Xin Yue's soldiers successfully burned the largest arsenal of the castle. However, at that time, the Dutch army's gunpowder had gradually been exhausted due to years of battles, so they blasted it.

Although it was very destructive at that time, it would not destroy the entire castle. The current situation is that the East India Company is busy with European commercial wars and cannot take care of East Asia for the time being. It may think that China is a piece of fat that cannot be obtained quickly.

Spending manpower and material resources here is just a waste of resources, so no more manpower and weapons are mobilized, and there is a faint tendency to evacuate the troops originally stationed there.

"Is this what you want to ask?" Chu Zhiling looked at her, his eyes were like a sudden change in the weather, swaying with wind and rain, dimming in an instant, and there was a faint icy chill, "Is this what you care about first?"

In any case, whether it was because she was concerned about Yan Zhan's official career, or just because of her loyalty to the dynasty, or even more so because she had a heart of patriotism, she was so inhumane that it chilled him a little. He thought she would

Asked how their relationship should be going forward, she seemed to be calm and unconcerned about it, not caring about how alienated they would become.

That's it, the first thing she cares about is definitely not him.

Chu Zhiling just said lightly: "Can I cooperate with the Dutch army? From the moment I rescued you, the East India Company and I lost the opportunity to continue our cooperation. They might have thought that I had become a

You are a lackey of the imperial court, otherwise why would I save you, the admiral?"

"Thank you." Xin Yue raised her head and looked at him, her eyes were like twinkling stars. Her expression was not as perfunctory as before, but slightly moved.

Chu Zhiling was stunned. He felt that Xin Yue seemed a little different. In the past, she would never say this to him. Her indifferent expression seemed to take all help as a matter of course, and she seemed to have no regard for the honor and disgrace of life and death, or the help and harm of others.

I don't care, in short, I just look cold and arrogant that I don't care, like a cold mist that I can't see through.

But in the past few days, he found that she seemed to be becoming more and more real. She could cry, get angry, and say thank you. She seemed to be trying to express her feelings.

The corners of Chu Zhiling's lips raised slightly, but the curve of his lips stiffened again the next moment.

"I remember, and I will return the favor to you." Xin Yue's expression was still calm, but his tone seemed more serious.

"What are you talking about?" Chu Zhiling suddenly approached her, clamped down on her slim white wrist, and narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing with a dangerous aura, "Return the favor?"

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Xin Yue frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

Chu Zhiling threw her arm away, stood up straight and put his hands behind his back and said, "Yes, it's very right, it's very right. There is nothing more right than what you said in the world."

"Are you angry?" Xin Yue asked, raising his eyebrows.

"No." Chu Zhiling tossed his robe and walked out.

Angry? Of course he was angry! What did she mean when she said she wanted to return his favor and said it so seriously? She completely regarded him as an outsider, or an ordinary friend. If she regarded him as a lover or a husband, how could she say such a thing?

What if you see someone outside?!

"Stop, Chu Zhiling." Xin Yue's voice sounded in the room, "I have something to tell you."

Chu Zhiling frowned, but still stopped. He slowly turned his head and asked coldly: "What's the matter?"

"You not cooperating with the Dutch army means two possibilities. First, you give up and stop dealing with the court. Second, you return to the sea and lead the pirates to make trouble. I guess the second possibility is more likely, right?

"

Xu did he really regard him as an outsider, or the kind of outsider who was not easy to get close to? Xin Yue was very polite when asking questions, with a hint of caution. In the past, she would have asked directly, "Hey, Chu Zhiling, who are you?"

Aren't you going to continue to fight against the imperial court?

"Worrying about these things all day long won't your head hurt?" Chu Zhiling said in a deep voice, with obvious displeasure in his eyes.

"It's a bit." Xin Yue rubbed his temples and smiled faintly. It seemed that he was unwilling to answer her question.

Also, even if they could love each other to death not long ago, they are destined to be opposites to each other. Only when they are drunk and unconscious can they coexist peacefully without conflicts.

"By the way, you used to get vermilion amber from the South China Sea on your ship. Do you still have it now?" Knowing that he would not answer that sensitive question, Xin Yue smartly did not ask again, but changed the subject and jumped to what he wanted.

On another issue I know.

"Yes," Chu Zhiling frowned, "What do you want to do?"

"I want three hundred grams." Xin Yue said calmly. She would not forget that Xiaozhi's prescription included three hundred grams of South China Sea vermilion amber.

Chu Zhiling frowned. Most people wanted amber to treat illnesses. He wanted to ask her what illness she had, but considering that she had subconsciously treated him as an outsider, he felt a little angry and refused to show any concern.

"I can buy it, and I'll give you the money." Xin Yue pursed her lips lightly, her eyes watery. Obviously she thought Chu Zhiling's hesitation was because she felt that she was self-righteous. Since they had broken up before, she thought he would give unconditionally. For him,

She was actually a little scared, afraid that he would laugh at her after making such a request and say, "Why do you think I will give it to you like this? Who do you think you are?"

Therefore, she first used money to create distance between the two of them.

With a bang, the furious man kicked the table over, and the things on it were scattered all over the floor in a mess.

"You're so fucking cruel." Chu Zhiling roared, grabbed a chair, and threw it on the ground with a bang. Xin Yue's ears felt like thunder. Now Chu Zhiling was as angry as a head.

The leopard wants to tear down the whole house.

"Why are you so angry?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "Why am I so cruel? It was you who said you wanted to break up with me in the first place, and yesterday it was you who said you would only treat me as a doll after you used all your words to humiliate me.

, I am worthless in your mind, you said harsh words first, and I followed your wishes and broke off the relationship with you, what else do you have to be angry about? "

With a bang, Chu Zhiling slapped his palm on the table, and said angrily in his heart, I have never seen you so obedient, but now that you have found a loophole, you are eager to break up the relationship with me, right? You are eager to leave me, right?

Again, you are so damn cruel!

"Even if you throw it into the sea to feed the fish, I will not give you the vermilion amber!"

Chu Zhiling kicked a round table over with a loud bang. He walked angrily to the door with a loud bang. He stretched out his long hand and closed the door with a loud bang. However, the door could not withstand his huge strength. After closing,

, and fell to the ground with a loud pop.

"He's sick." Xin Yue half-closed his eyes, glanced at the direction the man was walking away, and said with great disdain, "Sooner or later, this man's cerebral blood vessels will burst."
