"If you fall into the Yellow Sea, even if you are lucky enough to climb up, you will be covered in sand and mud. There is no way, all the sand from the upper reaches will be brought here."
The sea dog said this and turned the direction of the boat to avoid the turbulence ahead.
At this moment, they were sailing not far from the coastline. If they looked to the horizon a little, they could see the vague lights of the Magic City.
"Unlike other places, the Demon City is the freest and only recognizes money, not saints and masters. Even when the control is the strictest, the boats transporting rice here to the White Lotus Sect have never stopped."
"But wasn't that ban indeed issued?" Liu Banxian asked.
"It has been issued and posted on the dock."
The sea dog smiled and said: "But the ships that transport grain all have shares owned by adults, which blocks their way of making money. Any ban is just a piece of paper."
After a pause, he smiled brighter again, "The admirals, governors, generals, Gui Lao's consuls, and general magistrates of this province have spent a lot of money investing in shipping. How could they not just because the court said it was bad luck? What happened?
Anyway, no one believes that the White Lotus Sect can attack here. What does the war in the north have to do with those adults? It's not their turn to go. ”
"Hey, you're such a bastard." Liu Banxian gritted his teeth.
Although Liu Banxian neither liked the imperial court nor supported the White Lotus Sect, he still felt that these people relied on war to make a fortune, and every one of them was a bunch of beasts.
"Hey, if you want to make money, you have to be a jerk."
Sea Dog shook his head, "These days, if you are not an asshole, then don't blame others for being an asshole to you.
It's the same as wandering on the road, it depends on being sad enough and having no bottom line. Betraying brothers, beating up bosses, taking care of sisters-in-law, those in high positions are much more ruthless than this. ”
"Why, you often play this trick too?"
Yin Xiu walked out of the cabin.
"How is that possible?"
Sea Dog waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just because I'm not a bastard that I am now running a ship and doing transportation. It would be unfair to say that I do these things."
"It's not transportation, it's smuggling and smuggling."
After Yin Xiu corrected him, he stood on the deck and looked at the Magic City from a distance.
This city that never sleeps in the Far East can make people realize its greatness just by looking at it from the sea.
When the sea dog was about to quibble, a rapid sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded from the starboard side.
Upon hearing this eardrum-vibrating sound, the sea dog couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
Because a ship dislikes the sound of gongs and drums, not because someone won the top prize or got married.
Only in heavy fog or at night, when two ships are very close and there is a risk of collision, sailors will beat gongs, drums and shout in a specific direction desperately.
Now there was a sound of gongs and drums on the starboard side, which meant that a ship was on their right, heading towards them uncontrollably!
"The wind is tight!"
The sea dog shouted and immediately turned to look to the right. Then he saw, under the moonlight, a dark shadow like a mountain crashing towards them, the figure almost covering the moon and stars.
How is that possible! ?
On this moonlit night, the sea was calm and the lights on the boat were lit, a huge ship hit.
And that's fine if they didn't notice him. Why didn't he notice this big ship that was off course and running wildly out of order?
Everyone shouted loudly, either out of fear or anger.
Only the seal clenched his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Increase the horsepower and turn left!"
Then he didn't care about anyone else, just alternated his hands and quickly turned the wooden steering wheel, making a clattering sound.
The sailors' scalps were still numb, but their hands were moving slowly. Some people added coal to the boiler, while the rest, together with Yin Xiu, Ma Xiaoyu and others, ran to the port side of the ship and tried their best to push the ship to the left with their weight. , assisting the ship to turn.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, at the last moment, the huge black ship scraped against the side of the Black Widow, splashing water onto the deck.
call!
After finally avoiding it, everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath and fell down on the deck.
Sea Dog's palms were trembling even more. He took the wine bag on one side and drank a mouthful of burning knife, then he cursed loudly at the departing giant ship.
"You bastard! You still drink while sailing, are you dying!?"
As if hearing the scolding of the seals, a figure suddenly popped out from the stern of the boat and waved provocatively towards the boat.
"What do you mean, asking for help?" Sea Dog asked confused.
"What are you asking for help?" Yin Xiu sneered, "It's obviously asking us to follow him if we can and ask for an explanation."
The sea dog was angry at first, as if he wanted to kill someone, but he is a man of the sea, and there are rules at sea.
The other party is a big ship, but they are a small ship. When sailing on the sea, the tonnage and number of people are always considered, so the priority and berths are only determined in the port.
And on the sea, if a small boat is hit by a big ship, let's not talk about whether it will survive or not, but even if it really happens, colleagues will habitually favor those big ships.
Just like whoever has a bigger fist speaks louder on the shore, at sea, whoever has a bigger tonnage has more confidence.
Facing Yin Xiu's cold gaze, Sea Dog was a little at a loss.
"Emperor, please forget it. There are many of these bastards, and there are formal procedures for such a giant ship. If we go up hastily, it will not be good if there is any dispute."
"Who do you think I am?"
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "Pull the boat in for me!"
There is no way, except for the actual operation of the voyage, in fact, the whole ship, from top to bottom, has to listen to Yin Xiu.
Even though Liu Banxian is the big boss who apparently contributed money, as long as he doesn't say anything, Yin Xiu is the biggest.
He gave the order, and even if the sea dog had ten thousand worries in his heart, he could only abide by it. This was also the rule on the ship - whoever has the highest status has the final say.
All the sailors had already held their breath. It didn't matter whether it was a giant ship or a warship. They just held their breath and wanted to get it back.
As soon as Yin Xiu gave the order, they worked hard to fill it with coal and drive the turbine.
"Let's wait together?"
Yin Xiu looked at Ren Qi.
"Why, are you afraid that you can't beat him?" Ren Qi asked.
"I just saw that when you were staring at them just now, your palms were itching. I was afraid that if you didn't kill those bastards later, you would kill the people on our ship first."
"Have you seen all this?"
Ren Qi turned over and looked at his palms, then wiped his hands on his clothes.
"Do you have any requirements later?" he asked again.
"Request?"
"Yes, do you want the opponent's left hand or right hand, or should you chop them together?"
"Use the scabbard."
Yin Xiu scratched his head, "It was just a fight, no murder was committed. If the game goes too far and a murder case occurs in the Demon City, and the government investigates it, it will affect our sailing plan."
"You don't have to worry about that."
The sea dog grinned, "For those adults, it's not a big deal if a group of sailors die, as long as the ship is still there.
Now go up and chop them down. I'll ask my men to go up and help clean them up. Throw them all into the sea. It will take a few days to be discovered. By the time the government starts searching, we can already see the harbor city. ”
"Now you support me in taking action?" Yin Xiu said with a smile.
"Hey, since we're going to fight, what else can I do besides support your boss? You can't just kneel down and beg for mercy when your boss says you're going to fight those bastards? If I'm such a bastard, just throw me into the sea Forget about feeding the fish.”
With that said, the sea dog turned the rudder in a circle, and the Black Widow got into the shadow of the giant ship. Don't get too close to avoid accidents.
It cannot be too far away, lest the sailor cannot throw the anchor hook onto the ship.
Which of these sailors who follow the seals is not a part-time smuggler and their main job is killing people and stealing goods?
After just one or two attempts, two or three people easily hung the anchor hook on the railing of the giant ship and held it firmly.
Then the first mate respectfully asked Yin Xiu: "Boss, let's go up and explore the road first?"
"I'm not your boss, the sea dog is."
"Boss Sea Dog is the boss, and you are also the boss. We can tell the difference clearly." The first mate put his hand on his chest, looking very serious.
"Okay!"
Yin Xiu sighed, "You guys hold on to the rope tightly, and Ren Qi and I can go up."
Yin Xiu turned around and met Ma Xiaoyu's eyes.
Considering her personality, Yin Xiu asked again: "How about you help me too?"
"Forget it, I won't join in the fun."
Ma Xiaoyu waved her hand, "I can kill people, but I can't fight."
"Why?" Liu Banxian was suddenly confused.
"Because fighting is too barbaric, and the women of our Ma family have always been very ladies."
"Oh, I understand." Liu Banxian nodded mechanically.
Since Ma Xiaoyu doesn't go up, it's just him and Ren Qi.
"Remember, only use the scabbard!"
After once again admonishing this swordsman who told him that killing was easier than breathing, Yin Xiu jumped up and stepped on the rope with his toes.
As soon as the sailors holding the rope felt the weight on their hands, Yin Xiu was already running on the rope, covering half the distance in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Ren Qi also jumped up.
When the sailors tensed their muscles, preparing to bear the weight of the two men, they discovered that Ren Qi was as light and fast as Yin Xiu, like an ape climbing a vine, and his body was also terrifyingly flexible.
Even these sailors who usually grabbed ropes and jumped to join in the robbery, saw these two people running fast on a rope, and felt that their so-called heroic appearance before was nothing more than a baby crawling on the ground.
With another kick, Yin Xiu landed firmly on the deck, and then Ren Qi also arrived on the ship quietly, like a fallen leaf.
"Go to the bow or stern first?" Ren Qi asked.
"No need, people are already here."
As soon as Yin Xiu finished speaking, a dozen strong men emerged from the darkness around them, each holding a steel knife and harpoon, shining in the moonlight.
"These people don't seem to be sailors?" Yin Xiu said.
"Yeah."
Ren Qi nodded, "Even if they are exposed to the sun every day, the skin of these people is much whiter than that of the sailors, and the postures in which several of them hold the harpoon look more like some kind of marksmanship or stick technique. Orthodox sailors hold it with their backhand." .
These guys obviously make a living on the shore and rarely walk on the water. ”
"So, we have met someone traveling the same way?" Yin Xiu felt that things were a little interesting.
"You mean they are stowaways just like us?" Ren Qi asked.
"What stowaways? We are travelers!"
Yin Xiu emphasized: "I have read a martial arts novel before, where a man traveled around the earth in eighty-eight days, from Europe to the Far East, to Africa, and the Cape of Good Hope, and traveled around the world! What we did is similar to He is almost the same, how can he be called a stowaway? ”
"That's what you said."
Ren Qi nodded expressionlessly, "Traveler, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly it."
While Yin Xiuzheng and Ren Qi were discussing, someone came out of the crowd.
He is a handsome young man with delicate features, eyes as bright as candles, and a turban on his head that sailors often wear.
Although the figure at the stern of the boat was a little blurry, Yin Xiu always felt that the person in front of him was probably the person who provoked them.
"Is it you, the bastard who ordered the ship to hit us?" Yin Xiu asked.
"I didn't instruct anyone."
The man shook his head and said, "I was the one who drove this boat just now."
"Then I understand."
Yin Xiu suddenly laughed, "You bastard are honest."
"Don't sound like a bastard!"
The man's eyes widened, "My name is Lin Yun. If you want to be beaten or thrown into the sea, you can just tell me. I am a cheerful person and I will never be sloppy with you. I will definitely fulfill your wishes. ”
"Then all I want right now is to give you a good beating. I wonder if that can satisfy me?"
"Yes!"
Lin Yun waved, and the dozen or so people swarmed forward, surrounding Ren Qi and Yin Xiu.
Before Yin Xiu could say anything, Ren Qi took off a cyan sword from his back and casually handed it forward with the scabbard. Immediately, a man suffered a heavy blow to his face and fell limply to the ground.
Yin Xiu turned around.
"Don't worry, I just fainted. I'm not dead. I'll just lie down for two days and I'll be fine."
As he spoke, Ren Qi smashed his sword back again, and another thug fell to the ground with a muffled sound on his hand.
"I can rest assured when you do things."
Yin Xiu said this and jumped up, not even looking at the thugs who jumped up to surround him.
Just because Ren Qi was protecting him from the side, almost as soon as those people took a step forward or raised their hands, they all gritted their teeth and rolled their eyes and fell asleep.
So Yin Xiu was just focused and pounced on his prey, Lin Yun, like an eagle.
Lin Yun's pupils suddenly tightened when he saw Yin Xiu coming towards him, and he bumped into her without hesitation, punching out with both fists, and the wind and thunder surged.
Tai Chi cannon beating?
Yin Xiu had a sneer on her lips, her toes slid and twisted on the deck, her body paused and then rushed forward in a strange rhythm.
Lin Yun was unsure of what to do. Yin Xiu caught the gap and deceived his fist. At the same time, he grabbed his head with one hand and pushed it to the deck.
As Yin Xiu's hand lifted off his turban, his shiny black hair fell down like a waterfall.
Lin Yun is actually a woman? (End of chapter)
