The fog of the sea adhered to the fishy smell rising from the sea, extending from the nostrils of everyone on the ship to the lungs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The horn of time and time sounded on the ship, and the people on the battleship of such a fog could not even see ten meters away. The sailors on the battleship judged by the echo whether there was a cliff ahead.

Xiang Yiming followed Li Qi to the deck, Li Qi lifted the fog in front of him, as if he wanted to get rid of the gauzy fog, and then he put his hand on the railing and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Guard Xiang, you can get used to life on this ship." Li Qi carried Xiang Yiming on his back, and his words were a little weak.

"It's fine."

Xiang Yiming nodded behind him, the expression on his face was a little distracted, his eyes moved around, and he responded casually.

"Oh, is it? Xiang Guard, can you think of Los Angeles? ”

The mist that Li Qigang had lifted gathered again. His gaze darkened, and his fingers tapped lightly on the railing.

"Hmm."

Xiang Yiming nodded again, and his words quickly dispersed in the airflow.

Li Qi sensed the casualness in Xiang Yiming's tone, he glanced back at Xiang Yiming, whose eyes were moving around, and couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart.

It turned out that the Los Angeles in his heart was not cherished by everyone, and he couldn't help but feel bored in his heart, he shook his head but didn't get angry with Xiang Yiming.

Because of the relationship between Xiang Yiming and Zhao Wuke, he didn't restrain Xiang Yiming's behavior, it seemed that Xiang Yiming didn't care if he was by his side or not.

The two of them were silent, and they just stood like this, and from time to time there was a low horn sound in their ears.

The mist gradually dispersed in the air, accumulating in the blue sky to form patches of white clouds.

The two of them stood like this for an hour, each staring blankly at the front with their eyes on their minds.

After Shen Ling dissipated from the fog, he went to the deck and stood beside Li Qi and Xiang Yiming, looking at the dozen or so dots that appeared in the distance.

"Let's go and see if it's a merchant ship coming and going."

Shen Ling lowered his head and looked at the red horse boat closest to the ship, and spoke slowly to one of the scouts on the boat.

"Yes."

The scout bowed and nodded, rowing his paddle to the dozen points in the distance.

"Merchant ships? Bandits!! ”

Li Qi squinted at the distance and looked at the point that was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, and there was a thick disdain in his tone.

"What? The prince did not like the merchant ships that came and went on the sea. ”

Shen Ling held the heavy sword at his waist and glanced at Li Qi beside him thoughtfully.

"It's nothing, I just don't like their greed! After all, this sea is a merman, and if there is more hatred, I am afraid that I will hurt more innocent people. Li Qi's squinted eyes had a smile that he couldn't stretch, and his hand lying on the railing let go of the gray big coat.

"Oh! Really? Why did the prince say that? Shen Ling seemed to be very interested in what Li Qi was thinking, and slowly rubbed his sword.

Xiang Yiming didn't listen carefully to the words of the two, he looked up slightly at the seabird that seemed to be flying without direction, and took a deep breath. He noticed Li Qi's gaze, and he looked at Li Qi in a daze.

"Guards Xiang have seen mermen?" When Li Qi looked at Xiang Yiming, the unfolded smile in the corner of his eyes spread along the wrinkles and slowly spoke.

"No, but I've often heard stories about mermaids in the market." Xiang Yiming staggered Li Qi's gaze and spoke in a calm tone.

After Li Qi heard this, he shook his head with a bitter smile, and his tone was jerky: "General Shen, do you think the merman will hate Xiang Guard?" A man who has never seen a merman. ”

"Yes! They hate all the people on the continent, but they are also afraid of us. There was a sigh in Shen Ling's tone, and he retracted his gaze to look at the ships that were getting closer and closer.

"Ordinary people are hated like this, and it is not easy to live a good life. If one day the mermaids are no longer afraid, what about those people at the bottom of the continent? ”

Li Qi leaned on the railing, his eyes deep.

didn't answer, and Shen Ling didn't know how to answer, if he wanted to live differently from others, he had to have a sacrifice.

A dozen points ahead, in the conversation between the two, had already come to the sea less than 100 meters away from them.

The scout who rushed back bowed in front of Shen Ling, and there was some panting in his words: "General Hui is from our Xuzhou Business Alliance of Chu State, they captured a large number of mermaids yesterday and are planning to return home. ”

"Oh, yes?"

Shen Ling waved his hand behind his back and watched as two flags were slowly raised on more than a dozen merchant ships.

One flag is a soaring goshawk, which is the symbol of their Chu state, and the other flag is a cherry blossom tree, the symbol of their Xuzhou business alliance.

"Xuzhou Business Alliance, Xuzhou where the cherry blossoms are in the sky?" Li Qi stood against Shen Ling and sighed softly.

"Listening to Shizi's tone, it seems that there is some yearning for the Xuzhou cherry blossoms in our Chu State." Shen Ling said with a smile, but his eyes were looking at the slowly rising flag of the Chu State.

"Don't all literati yearn for that kind of artistic conception? Presumably, there will be no shortage of Yashi in Xuzhou, right? ”

"Haha..."

"I see! The meaning of the prince is to make friends with strategists. It's that my vision is too shallow and short, and I misunderstand the meaning of the son's heart. Shen Ling laughed out loud and squinted at the merchant ship that had stopped at their thirty meters ahead of them against the wind.

The archers on the towers pulled their bows and arrows halfway and stared at the merchant ships that had stopped ahead without blinking.

"General, it's Yang Jin on the merchant ship, he heard that it was you, my lord, and wanted to invite you to the merchant ship for a while." Another scout bowed in front of Shen Ling and reported.

"Yang Jin?"

Shen Ling's eyes flashed with playfulness, and he waved his hand: "Tell me to go down and bring the ship over." ”

"Yes."

The scout hurriedly turned around and gave the order.

"Would you like to get acquainted with the robbers you call you?" Shen Ling squinted at Li Qi and asked.

"But it's okay to go, it's boring to stay on this ship for a long time." Li Qi looked directly into Shen Ling's eyes, and his tone was calm and powerful.

The distance between the merchant ship and the warship was getting closer and closer, and Xiang Yiming had been listening to the conversation between Shen Ling and Li Qi just now. When he heard the cherry blossoms, he couldn't help but be a little curious about this business alliance in Xuzhou.

Although he had never seen cherry blossoms, he had often heard Tuoba Qian mention the name of the flower.

Large, sturdy planks are placed on the two boats, temporarily connecting the two boats. The Yu Clan archers on the arrow tower looked cautiously at the dozens of people lined up on the merchant ship.

Xiang Yiming followed Shen Ling and Li Qi to step on the plank, and from the side of the merchant ship of more than fifty feet, there was an astringent sound from the seawater, and the sea water formed a circle of ripples and staggered, and from time to time scarlet blood flowers rose from under the sea water.

He was a little curious, and his eyes were on the sea water on both sides of the merchant ship, but he did not ask, and when he walked in, he found that there were many slender and shiny chains on top of the merchant ship, which extended to the bottom of the sea.

Before they set foot on the merchant ship, a fishy smell that was several times stronger than usual came towards them. Several people frowned subconsciously, but they didn't say anything, and walked up without stopping.
