Chapter 1130 Setting sail (two chapters in one)
On the street, two people were sitting in a luxurious private carriage, one was the steward of the Qin family, and the other was the guard of the Qin family.
After listening to what the guard said, Butler Qin shook his head and said, "Ask me, I don't know. Has the detection spiritual weapon in your hand never responded?"
"No response." The guard took out a metal object from his arms and said very depressedly.
“It has been a long time since it last reacted, and there has been no movement during this period.”
"Alas." Butler Qin sighed, "Now the only spiritual device that can locate the lady's location has not responded. If we want to find the lady, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"For now, we can only wait patiently. "The guard said.
"Yes! There is no other way but to wait patiently." Butler Qin frowned.
"It's all those bastards' fault. If they hadn't lied to us about having clues about the lady, we wouldn't have wasted so much time and missed the best opportunity to find the lady." The guard said angrily, clenching his fists Gotta be tight.
If those liars were in front of him at this time, he would have to teach them a lesson.
The sound of chatting could be heard from time to time in the luxurious carriage, which was driving towards the end of the street. An ordinary carriage passed by it on the road. The two sides were going in different directions and gradually widened the distance.
"It will take a long time for us to get there. Let's try what I just bought on the road."
In the compartment of the ordinary carriage, Lin Li had a thought in his mind, and a thing appeared in his hand. Bags of dried fruits.
This bag of dried fruits was bought from a small vendor on his way home just now.
At that time, he tasted these dried fruits and they tasted very good, so he bought some to eat on the road.
"I just had breakfast and I'm not hungry." Qin Muqing said politely.
Lin Li smiled, reached out and grabbed a large handful of dried fruit from the bag and stuffed it into Qin Muqing's hand.
"Eat some dried fruit and it won't fill your stomach. It'll be okay..."
Qin Muqing said "hmm" and then put an almond into her mouth.
The two of them were eating snacks while waiting for the carriage to arrive at its destination.
…………
“Everyone, please hurry up.”
“Boy, be careful. If you drop the box on the ground, you will lose your day’s wages. . ”
“The boat is about to leave. Those who have bought tickets, please line up to board the boat...”
A pier in Dongwucheng is crowded with people and various sounds. sounded, intertwined with each other and floated around.
There are many tall passenger ships docked on the river bank. These passenger ships are hundreds of meters long, have many rooms, and are very large.
At this moment, many people with tickets in their hands are boarding the ship.
“Hey.”
In the distance, the driver pulled the reins and the carriage stopped.
"Sir, we have arrived at the dock."
"Okay." Lin Li responded, and then he and Qin Muqing got off the carriage.
After paying the fare, Lin Li and Qin Muqing quickly walked to a passenger ship in the distance.
“So many people.” Qin Muqing exclaimed.
"This is the largest dock in Dongwu City. People going to Shuanghe City will start from here, so a lot of people gather here." Lin Li told Qin Muqing what he learned from passers-by.
There were many people queuing up to board the ship. Lin Li and Qin Muqing came to the back of a queue and lined up.
He took out two ferry tickets from his pocket and handed one to Qin Muqing.
The two waited patiently. After a few minutes, the queue was still very long.
The ticket checking efficiency is too low... Lin Li looked ahead and complained in his heart.
Qin Muqing looked around curiously. She saw a group of soldiers approaching in the distance, and her eyes fell on the soldiers.
"Stalling is not allowed here. Pack your things and leave immediately." The soldier stopped and said to several vendors setting up stalls.
"Okay, let's pack up and leave now..." The small traders did not dare to anger these soldiers, so they quickly packed up their things. After a while, all the small traders left.
As these soldiers drove away the vendors, the chaos on the dock gradually improved.
"I didn't expect these soldiers to also serve as urban management..." Lin Li said with a smile.
"Urban management?" Qin Muqing listened to what Lin Li said. Because it was the first time he heard this word, it was very unfamiliar and he felt a little confused.
Lin Li didn't explain much. At this time, he noticed that the speed of ticket checking in front was speeding up, so he called Qin Muqing to go forward.
It took the two people half an hour to finally board the boat.
"This ship is really big. Standing on it feels like walking on flat ground." Lin Li stepped on the ground and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's okay! This is actually a small boat..." Qin Muqing muttered.
When she was in the imperial capital, the smallest ships she had ever seen were ten times larger than the ship in front of her, so she thought the ship in front of her was a small ship.
"Have you ever seen a ship bigger than this?" Lin Li looked at Qin Muqing and asked casually.
"That's not true. I heard others say it when I was buying groceries..." Qin Muqing explained.
Lin Li nodded, and then did not continue on this topic.
After they boarded the ship, they found the staff on the ship and led them to the door of the room they were staying in.
The two rooms were adjacent to each other. Lin Li said to Qin Muqing with a smile before she entered the room.
“I’m going to visit other places on the ship later, do you want to come with me?”
Qin Muqing shook her head. She had been on ships that were a hundred times more luxurious than this one, and she didn't have much curiosity about this simple ship.
"Then you stay in the room and rest. I will come to you when it's time to eat." Lin Li said.
"Yes." Qin Muqing responded, then closed the door to the room.
Lin Li walked into his room, closed the door, and took a look at the situation inside.
The room is more than fifty square meters, with a separate bathroom, like a small apartment.
"The environment of the room on the ship is quite good."
Lin Li looked around the room and nodded with satisfaction.
After looking at the situation in the room, he walked out of the room and walked to the deck.
After a while, Lin Li came to the deck. There were not many people on the deck at this time. Most of the passengers were probably still in their rooms, settling their carry-on luggage.
“Woo…”
Suddenly, sounds came from various places on the ship, attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Li looked towards the location where the sound appeared and found that there were trumpet-shaped objects installed in some corners of the ship.
"Dear passengers, please note that the ship is about to depart. Passengers who have not yet found their room, please ask the ship's staff..."
Lin Li noticed from these trumpet-shaped objects I sensed some spiritual energy fluctuations and knew that these artifacts were spiritual artifacts.
He has been in Dongwu City for a long time, and now knows that these artifacts are spiritual artifacts, and there is no particularly surprised expression on his face.
About five minutes after the broadcast ended, Lin Li, who was standing on the deck, felt the ground begin to shake.
“It’s time to set off.”
Lin Li held the railing. Under his gaze, the huge passenger ship gradually moved away from the dock and sailed along the river towards the outside of the city.
As time passed by, the figures on the pier finally turned into small black dots.
The passenger ship went down the river and left Dongwu City more than 20 minutes later.
Based on what he had learned before, Lin Li knew that the passenger ship would have to travel for another half an hour before it could enter a wider river.
He was waiting patiently on the deck for the passenger ship to enter the wider river. During this period, there were gradually more passengers on the deck. These passengers were obviously settled, so they came to the deck to stroll around and enjoy the scenery along the coast.
As the number of people increased, the deck became more and more noisy.
When the boat enters a wider river, the eyes instantly open up countless times.
The river where the ship is currently located is called Honghe. The length of the river is tens of thousands of kilometers, a hundred kilometers at its narrowest point, and thousands of kilometers at its widest point.
There are many cities along the coast, and thousands of passenger ships and cargo ships can be seen on the river every day, traveling to and from various cities.
“If I hadn’t known it was a river in advance, I would have thought it was a sea, which means there would be such a magnificent river in the spiritual world.”
Lin Li looked at the endless river. , marveled in my heart.
"Gululu..."
It was noon, and when it was time to eat, many people’s stomachs growled.
Lin Li raised his hand and patted his stomach, looked back at the river, and then began to return to his residence.
…………
In the quiet room, Qin Muqing lay on the bed with her eyes closed to relax.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
Qin Muqing opened her eyes immediately when she heard the noise. She got up and got out of bed and came to the door. Instead of opening the door rashly, she asked outside the door first.
“Who?”
“It’s me.” Lin Li, standing at the door, answered.
Qin Muqing heard the familiar voice and immediately opened the door.
"It's time to have lunch."
"Yeah."
"Let's go!"
"Yeah."
Lin Li went to the place to eat. As he walked, Qin Muqing followed him.
The two people walked in the corridor for a few minutes and arrived at the dining area on the ship.
Because it is meal time, there are many people on site.
"There are fewer people over there, let's go there to eat..." Lin Li raised his hand and pointed to the empty space in front of him on the left.
Two people came to a restaurant, and there was a menu posted on the wall at the door.
"The food here is so expensive." Qin Muqing glanced at the prices of the food on the menu and said in a low voice.
"After all, it's on a ship. It's not as convenient as on land, and the price isn't particularly outrageous," Lin Li said.
At this time, a young man with a smile on his face came over. This man was a waiter in the restaurant. Under his guidance, Lin Li and Qin Muqing found a table and sat down.
"What do you want to eat?" Lin Li said with a smile.
"Just order it, I can do it." Qin Muqing said politely.
“Let’s order four dishes each.” Lin Li suggested.
"That's a bit...ok." Qin Muqing subconsciously wanted to say that ordering four dishes was a bit too much. When the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered the scene where Lin Li wiped out a whole table of dishes last time, and she immediately swallowed her words. Back to the belly.
After ordering the food, the two of them waited patiently for the food to be served. Lin Li looked outside the door and saw an endless stream of people coming and going on the road outside. He said, "It feels like a market here. "
"Yes! If there are more vendors, it will be no different from a market..." Qin Muqing, who often goes out to buy vegetables, nodded in agreement.
The eight dishes were served quickly. The chef's skills were very good, and Lin Li was very satisfied with the food.
After eating and drinking, Qin Muqing originally wanted to go back to the room to stay.
At Lin Li's suggestion, she changed her mind and followed Lin Li to the deck to get some air.
"Huh..."
As soon as we arrived on the deck, a gust of wind blew in front of us, making people's clothes and hair flutter.
“It’s such a strong wind.” Qin Muqing raised her hand to block her face and exclaimed.
"It was calm just now, why did the wind suddenly pick up?" Lin Li was a little embarrassed.
His original intention was to let Qin Muqing come out for some air, but as a result, the wind was blowing heavily on the deck, which was not suitable for ordinary people to stay for too long.
"The wind is blowing a bit strong now. When the wind stops, we will come on the deck to get some fresh air." Lin Li said.
Then, the two people went back to the room to rest.
But at this moment, a huge wave suddenly rose in the distance, accompanied by a loud roar of a beast.
"Roar..."
The earth-shattering roar of the beast was so deafening that all passengers on the passenger ship could hear it clearly.
A huge creature jumped out of the water, tens of meters long, its body covered with silver scales, shining brightly in the sunlight.
“It’s a silver-scaled fish.” A passenger recognized the strange beast in the distance and shouted immediately.
"It seems to be swimming towards us." Another passenger said nervously.
"If it collides with the ship, we will be in danger."
"Don't worry! There are guards on the ship, and the alien beast can't do anything to us."
As the alien beast appeared, chaos suddenly broke out on the deck.
Some people are very scared, and some people look calm.
Qin Muqing's expression was a little nervous, and Lin Li on the side spoke to comfort him.
"It's okay. That alien beast only has the strength of the first stage of the second stage. The guards on the ship can definitely take care of it... Even if it can't be taken care of, I will take action."
After hearing what Lin Li said, Qin Muqing's nervousness immediately disappeared.
"Roar..."
The silver-scaled fish dives into the water and jumps out of the water, making frightening roars from time to time.
Its target is very clear, it is the passenger ship where Lin Li is.
If nothing goes wrong, the silver-scaled fish will hit the passenger ship in one minute.
At this time, more and more nervous passengers were on board, staring intently at the strange beast approaching the passenger ship quickly.
"Huh?"
Lin Li suddenly sensed several psychic energy fluctuations in the distance. The next second, he saw five strong men with weapons jumping up from the deck. , jumped into the river.
The passengers who didn’t know what was going on screamed again and again, and then through the explanation of insiders, they learned that the five strong men with weapons just now were the escorts protecting the passenger ship.
Lin Li looked at the five strong men holding weapons and saw that they jumped into the river and did not sink into the water, but stood on the river as if they were walking on flat ground.
"Drink."
The weapons in the hands of the four strong men were long bows. They shouted in unison, bending their bows and shooting arrows quickly.
"Whoops..."
Four arrows were shot out, flying straight towards the silver-scaled fish approaching the passenger ship.
"Roar..."
The silver-scaled fish sensed the danger and flicked its tail, causing a huge wave to hit the incoming arrow.
