Chapter 43 Covered News

An hour later.

The King of Flower Country, Morostai Biru, put down the Den Den Mushi.

"Still unable to contact, what happened to Qing Jiao?"

Ever since the sound that resounded through the sky, he has been trying to contact Qing Jiao, but without exception, he has failed.

"I wonder if the people I sent out just now have arrived!"

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi rang.

He quickly answered the call, and a slightly anxious voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Your Majesty, something big has happened. It seems that a big battle has just taken place here. Most of the garden of the leader of Qing Jiao has been destroyed. Moreover, we did not find the leader of Qing Jiao. He seems to be gone!"

Just as Biru was about to speak, a cry of surprise came from the other side.

"Come here quickly, there is a stone tablet with a few words engraved on it, it seems to be... Qing... Qing Jiao's... Tomb!!!"

Panic, shock, unbelievable, the voice was filled with all kinds of emotions.

Biru on the other end of the Den Den Mushi felt his brain go blank.

The guardian of the Kingdom of Flowers, the leader of Qingjiao, died, died!

Impossible, how could Qingjiao die?

He almost shouted.

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. Dig it up for me. If I find out you're playing a trick on me, you'll all die!"

Bilu was angry for a reason.

First of all, Qingjiao and he had been friends for many years, and they had a very good relationship.

Secondly, other countries around had long been eyeing the Kingdom of Flowers. If it weren't for Qingjiao's reputation, they would have probably taken action long ago.

However, if Qingjiao died, the consequences would be disastrous.

Although Cai Yi, the 13th generation pillar of the Babao Navy, had begun to show the style of a leader, this was far from enough. In terms of strength, he could not be compared with Qingjiao.

Only Qingjiao could intimidate those people.

Waiting is always tormenting.

The two soldiers who were sent over kept digging the soil. At first, it was fine, until they dug four or five meters deep, a familiar piece of clothing appeared in front of them.

Continuing to dig down, they dug up... Qingjiao's body.

Qingjiao is dead!

"Your Majesty, the leader of Qingjiao is really dead, please accept my condolences!"

Bilu felt his eyes go dark and fainted.

...

It was three hours later when Luodi returned to the no-man's land.

No-man's land port.

A group of people in gray uniforms were carrying dark boxes and just passed by Luodi.

At this time, Smanton was standing at the bow, throwing dice in his hand idly.

When he saw Luodi's figure, he immediately cheered up and jumped to the shore.

"Captain, you are finally back. That, look, I have something I want to buy. Can I, uh, go inside for a walk!"

He pointed to the road behind Luodi leading to the no-man's land, looking a little embarrassed.

Luodi knew what he wanted to do as soon as he saw him, and then nodded helplessly.

"You have to change your gambling habit. That's it. Go ahead!"

Smanton nodded quickly. Whether he would change it was another matter.

Back on the ship, the deck became very empty. The arms originally loaded here had disappeared. It seemed that the transaction was completed, and the people just seen should be the ones responsible for carrying the arms.

At this time, Winnie just came out of the kitchen and came to Luo Di with a glass of juice.

"Lord Luo Di, here!"

She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Luo Di.

Somewhat timid!

Luo Di took the juice helplessly and asked while drinking.

"How much did those arms sell for?"

Winnie stirred her fingers and said timidly.

"Lord Lafayette said, it seems to be, three, three hundred million Baileys?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and she seemed a little uncertain.

In fact, it was the first time she heard such a large amount of Bailey.

"Three hundred million?"

Luo Di touched his chin and muttered to himself.

In this case, plus the previous four hundred million, it would be seven hundred million.

By then, I will buy the Adam Tree and the Devil Fruit.

Then he handed the empty cup to Winnie.

Only then did he notice that Winnie seemed to still be wearing that old dress. If you look closely, you can see the gray stains and cracks on the corners of the dress.

"What do you look like in this dress? As a maid, cleanliness is the most important thing. Tomorrow, you and Ai Ko will go to the Kingdom of Flowers with me."

Luo Di pretended to be disgusted, then waved his hand and walked towards the storage warehouse.

Winnie was timid and cowardly. If she didn't do this, she would probably refuse for a long time.

Looking at Luo Di's back, Winnie secretly wiped her eyes, not because she was sad, but because she was happy.

She could feel that Luo Di had no ill intentions.

Being able to feel other people's emotions was her biggest secret.

The dean's mother once told her that she must not tell anyone about this, otherwise it would bring her endless disasters.

So she has been hiding this secret in her heart.

Except for her, perhaps no one else in the world will know it in the future.

...

It was night.

Meeting room.

Luo Di handed Winnie's freshly made fried rice to Lafayette who had just returned and asked.

"How is it? What did the old boatman say?"

The old boatman Luo Di mentioned was the retired No. 1 boatman of the Flower Kingdom, Wheeler!

Lafayette took a sip of water and nodded with a smile.

"He didn't agree at first, but when I mentioned Adam's Wood, he agreed without any hesitation. Maybe it was his obsession to build a ship with Adam's Wood!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In fact, many shipbuilders may not see materials of Adam's Wood in their lifetime, let alone build ships with it.

Old shipbuilder Wheeler is that kind of shipbuilder. Although he has good shipbuilding skills, he has never seen Adam's Wood, and no one is willing to let him build a ship with that material.

However, maybe it won't be long before the wish that has troubled him for half his life can be realized.

Palace.

Bilu locked himself in the room.

His hair became a little messy because of scratching, and there were several empty bottles on the table, obviously he had just drunk wine.

Hiccup——

As if stimulated by something, Bilu suddenly shook his head, and his face, which was red with the smell of wine, was determined at this moment.

"No, no, this matter must not be spread out, otherwise several other countries may take action immediately, and then the Flower Kingdom will be in danger!"

"Besides, Qingjiao has been in seclusion for many years. This is something they all know. As long as that person does not spread it maliciously, no one will know about Qingjiao's death!"

Just when he was in high spirits, the next moment, he suddenly looked depressed.

"Qingjiao, I'm really sorry. At this time, I still have to deliberately conceal it, but don't worry, I will definitely find out who did it and then avenge you!"

However, this is just to comfort myself.

That person can even kill Qingjiao, and want revenge? I'm afraid it's as difficult as ascending to heaven!

For Bilu, there is another problem now, that is, should he tell Cai Yi and Abu about Qingjiao's death?

"Forget it, let's tell them after finding out who did it!"

After thinking for a long time, the alcohol has already invaded his brain. He fell on the table and closed his eyes.
