But he didn't know that it was the Imperial Navy that secretly invested in the construction of Crescent Harbor.

The empire wants to build this place into a qualified secret supply port to facilitate the conduct of espionage missions.

The thief said that "Crescent Port has gradually become different in the past two or three years", which shows that the empire's plan to promote the construction of a secret port had already started two or three years ago.

The competition for the Pirate Throne began this year, but the wise men of the empire had long heard or predicted this situation and made plans in advance.

The reason why the Shengming Empire is the number one force in the world is not only its strong muscles, but also its smart mind and far-sighted vision.

Although the thief's guess turned out to be wrong, it was logically self-consistent. It was a pity that he belonged to the lower class. If he had a higher status and received more secret information, he should have been able to guess the correct answer.

"How many gold coins do you want? I will cooperate with you. I hope you will release me as soon as possible, because I have important tasks." Cang Xu sighed, "Compared with the loss of this money, I delayed the tasks assigned by the superiors, and the consequences are more serious.

.In addition, I have to warn you two, after you get the ransom, please leave this town as soon as possible and try not to come back again."

"Because once I regain my freedom, I will definitely use manpower and material resources to arrest the two of you. Of course, I don't really want to do anything bad to you, but my identity determines that I cannot embarrass the nobles behind me. Please also

Please cooperate with me and don't make things too difficult for me."

"Hehehe." The thief said with a mocking look on his face, "I know, it's the honor of the nobility!"

"Tell me how much ransom you want. If you can write, I can help you write the ransom letter." Cang Xu said.

The two thieves looked at each other. They didn't expect Cang Xu to take the road like this. One of them asked tentatively: "Then a hundred gold coins?"

"Okay." Cang Xu immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing him being so straightforward, the two thieves immediately regretted: "No, two hundred gold coins."

Cang Xu nodded.

"Three hundred gold coins, no, five hundred gold coins!" The thief regretted again.

Cang Xu shook his head: "Five hundred gold coins is too little. Why not just give it one thousand gold coins."

The eyes of the two thieves glowed.

"But the question is, can you afford these one thousand gold coins?" Cang Xu said with a smile.

The two thieves suddenly changed their expressions, and the mockery in their smiles was too strong.

"Old man, I'm going to make you suffer." The thief who detained Cangxu moved his dagger.

The next moment, the dagger pierced Cang Xu's cheek, leaving a long wound on his face.

But no blood flowed from the wound.

Not only that, judging from the cuts, Cang Xu's internal skin and flesh were pale and lifeless.

"Who are you?!" The two thieves were horrified.

Cang Xu smiled and stretched out his hand to touch his cheek. He touched the wound and pressed it with his fingers, pressing the cut layer of flesh back to its original position.

Then, the other three people saw that the wound on Cang Xu's face healed quickly.

The two thieves realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat and put some distance between themselves and Cang Xu.

But at this time, they realized that they could no longer move.

An unspeakable coldness froze their souls.

"you you you!"

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

The two people's faces were twisted and they were begging frantically for mercy.

Cang Xu began to sing.

After a dozen breaths, his spell was cast, and the souls of the two thieves were forcibly extracted, while their bodies fell to the floor.
