Chapter Twenty-Three: The Song of the Shark IX
The flickering flames flickered in the shadows of the sea, and the water and fire blended together. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In the sea breeze, like lovers hugging each other, their lips tossing and biting, meeting the war song that rushes out from under the sea:
The battle armor is like a cloud, and Ling Yu is in a state of arms.
Is the respect of the remnants in vain?
Aid jade spears beat drums, can't get in and out, and can't go back.
How can you say that you have no courage? Repair my spear and have the same enmity with my son.
How can you say that you have no courage? Repair my spear and halberd, and work with my son.
Repair my scales and armor and walk with my son.

The grand and pathetic atmosphere permeates the sea area, and the eyes of the mermaids in the sea are staring at the bottom of the ship made by Xuangang, and their bodies swim. The blood that floated out of their bodies spilled into the water, passing by their swimming bodies, as if they were good friends and became strangers.
Shen Ling stood on the deck, the bow of the ship had already turned in a different direction, and the sails hanging on the mast had an arc with the direction of the wind. The sea breeze drove the boat through the canvas made of animal skins, tearing the water from the bottom of the boat and heading off into the distance.
He looked at the flames burning on the sea, and the tragic war song of the merman was in his ears, he was a little distracted, and muttered in his mouth: "The battle armor is like a cloud, and Ling and the array are like a cloud..."
The voice was so thin that others could only see his lips squirming, but they didn't know what he was talking about.
"General, at the cost of three fighting ships, the Xuzhou Shang Alliance has torn through the encirclement of the mermaids and is coming towards us. Shouldn't we fire arrows to warn them?"
One of the scouts bowed, his words trembling a little.
"Let them follow!" Shen Ling waved his hand and looked at the merchant ship.
Dragging their flesh and blood rolls, many mermaids threw the last of their weapons onto the decks of merchant ships. The entire fleet of the Xuzhou Business League had no fighting spirit, and took advantage of the sea breeze to agitate the canvas to flee for their lives. Many of the corpses that had fallen on the deck had turned cold, and the blood had melted into the deck, turning into a unique dye with a fishy smell.
.........
"General Shen, how could these black-scaled sharks attack us so frantically?" Li Qi looked at the sharks who were some distance away from the ship, and walked to Shen Ling's side under the cover of the soldiers, his lips slightly opened.
When Shen Ling heard Li Qi's voice, his expression paused slightly, and he froze on his original expression. He turned his head and looked at Li Qi, whose hair was fluttering, and next to him was Xiang Yiming, who was holding a sword.
He glared at Xiang Yiming, looked at the sword in his hand, and couldn't help but think of his junior brother.
He looked at Li Qi, who had already walked out of the cabin, turned his head, raised his left hand slightly and pointed at the merchant ship, and rubbed his eyebrows together: "Presumably, the merman tribe captured by the Xuzhou Business Alliance this time has formed an alliance with this group of mermaids underwater, which directly attracted so many mermaids." ”
"Oh, huh?"
The corners of Li Qi's mouth opened and sneered, looking at the merchant ship and smiling without saying a word. Xiang Yiming on the side just glanced at the merchant ship lightly and spread his gaze, and when he noticed the red that was passing away in the seawater, his unchanged expression finally changed a little.
"How many people are going to die like this?" he thought to himself, his upper and lower teeth clasping the flesh between his lips, and his hand holding the sword loose.
"Does General Shen think they will catch up again?" Li Qi looked away from the merchant ship, and he felt a feeling of nausea in his heart, and he slowly swept over the sea.
"How many people does Li Shizi think a merman can have in a tribe?"
Shen Ling squinted and watched as the merchant ship chased after him, and on the stern side of the merchant ship, there were a few mermaids who jumped out of the sea despite the fire.
Silently, Li Qi's eyes were a little gloomy, and he didn't know what to say. A merman tribe has only about a thousand people at most, and this battle is already injured, if they want to continue to breed in this sea, I am afraid they will not dare to continue to chase.
The fire grew smaller and smaller in the sea breeze, and the smoke cleared. Li Qi's eyes suddenly stopped as he scanned the sea, and he looked at about thirty meters away from the ship, and the hand behind his back jumped slightly.
Xiang Yiming noticed Li Qi's gaze, and wondered in his heart, and followed his gaze, but saw a woman struggling and swimming on the sea, plopping into the sea from time to time and resurfacing. At her side was the blood that was gradually dispersing.
"Is that her?"
Xiang Yiming whispered in his mouth, turned his head to look at the gray big coat that was untying his body, revealing only a pair of cold chain armor, and jumped towards the sea.
"Li Shizi.."
Shen Ling shouted, looking at Li Qi, who had already jumped down and kept swimming in a certain direction, he turned his head and ordered the people behind him: "Go quickly, go down quickly to protect Li Shizi's safety." ”
"Go!"
"Yes!"
The dozens of people behind him unloaded the heavy armor on their bodies and jumped towards the sea.
Xiang Yiming was stunned in his heart, and withdrew the hand that was not stretched out in time when Li Qigang jumped down. With a flick of his right hand, he plunged his sword into the deck and unfastened the silver armor from his body.
"What do you want to do?"
Shen Ling looked at Xiang Yiming, who was taking off his armor, with some anger, and walked towards him, blocking in front of him.
"I am a guard at the prince's side, and my duty is to protect him. ”
Xiang Yiming staggered away from Shen Ling, his eyes were cold and resolute, and he took out the dagger that Qingya gave him. He took a step forward in Shen Ling's somewhat complicated gaze.
Before the words could disperse in the wind, Shen Ling didn't stop it. Behind Xiang Yiming were the other three guards who accompanied Li Qi.
"Be careful.."
Shen Ling moved, the sound of diving sounded in his ears, and he said softly, I don't know if Xiang Yiming, who jumped into the seawater, can still hear it.
At this time, the season is already late autumn, and the sea breeze is extremely biting. Xiang Yiming's body floated on the surface of the sea, and the sea water was a little red.
He tilted his head slightly in the seawater and looked at Li Qi, who was not far from him. In front of them was a merman, her purple tail weeping blood, broken scales attached to her tail and swaying with the sea, blood pouring out of her body.
She is the merman in Li Qi's mouth - Baichuan.
The wounds on her body must have been accidentally injured during the battle between the two armies! After all, not every soldier had seen her, and it was luck that she was alive.
The soldiers on the ship cautiously pulled the bow in their hands, and Li Qi had already swam to the side of Baichuan and held up his plump body with his hands: "Didn't I let you go? Why do you have to come back when the sea is so big?"
Her rosy eyes were wet with the sea, her body was a little weak, and the pain from the wound chewed at the beating heart in her chest.
"I don't know where to go! The sea is too big, but I don't know where to accept me. ”
She said softly, and the body supported by Li Qi struggled slightly, wanting to get rid of Li Qi's hand.
"Are you willing to follow me?" Looking at the woman in front of him, Li Qi's eyes were a little complicated. Such a poor man could not help but remind him of his mother, who died in the palace when he was ten years old:
"Qi'er, your father once told me that he would grant me a world. At that time, I thought that if I had the whole world he gave me, I would be free, do you think that the person who owns the world really has freedom?"
"This Yue country is actually very small, and the people in the palace have only been around for decades. This world is also extremely small, and it is no more beautiful than hundreds of miles under your feet. ”
"The world that your father promised me is a silhouette under the sunset after all. Beauty is beautiful, but it's too far away, and on that side of the sky, he can't take me there. ”
Bai Chuan struggled to raise her head, she saw the man's pure eyes, she squeezed out a smile, and said, "Follow you, do I have a pool with a depth of three zhang?"
"No, maybe there will be more!" Li Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth, holding Bai Chuan and slowly walking towards the ship not far from him.
Xiang Yiming was behind them, and the few sharks who caught up pulled him and inserted sharp weapons into his legs.
He had forgotten how he had finally climbed onto the ship, he only remembered that he had been lying on the deck afterwards. It was exceptionally blue that day, and it smelled of autumn as soon as the wind blew.
