Chapter 288: Bold and Reckless
I cowered behind the stone, dagger in one hand and staring at the place where the sound had just come from. Soon I could hear that it was not the sound of a wild beast breaking a branch, but after that sound, the footsteps of the clattering and breaking of many branches came in this direction.
No matter how stupid I am, I can hear human footsteps!
Is it a coincidence or are we being followed? I didn't have time to think about it, and I glanced back in the direction of the merchant ship, and there was still no movement there. I didn't have time to rub it any longer, so I carefully listened to the specific direction of the sound, trying to find a place where no one was to escape.
I'm more worried about myself than I'm worried about Gao gradually leaving and meeting these people when he comes back. His martial arts are high!
But I listened for a long time, and I couldn't find my way out except for getting more and more frightened! The footsteps of those people coming unhurriedly could be heard on three sides in front of me, the fallen leaves and dead branches were crushed, and the faint sound struck my eardrums.
The only place where there was no sound of footsteps was behind me...... But there are cliffs and deep seas!
The rest is a dead end!I clutched my heart in my chest, which was about to jump out of my throat, and the slippery touch came from the palm of my other hand holding the dagger. Swallowing my saliva, I stared at the other side and slowly saw the figure.
There were no torches lit, and the moonlight on a full moon night was enough to see everything in the forest.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, since there was only a dead end left, then make a way out of this dead end!" Thinking about this, I leaned over to the edge of the cliff, and as soon as my feet reached the edge, I immediately realized that I had touched a few gravel down......
Fighting back the buzz in my head, I slid my dagger down the ground a little bit.
Fortunately, this is a cliff where it is relatively easy to touch the stone crevices, and I stuck my feet in the stone crevices, and finally loosened my strained arms a little. But my nerves were still tight, because the group was on the edge of the cliff!
"Qi is in charge, there is no one here. It was a man's voice, and it was very coarse, as if it were speaking with a coarse salt in his mouth.
A quiet silence ensued with audible wind, and the people above did not leave. I hung from the cliff with a dagger stuck in the crack in the stone in both hands, and my feet were in a slightly larger gap, but not big enough to fit two feet.
I had one foot hanging outside, and every time the wind blew, it felt like I was going to fall!
Several times I almost screamed, but I was able to stop myself from making a sound by holding the scabbard of the dagger in my mouth. After a while, there was finally movement above.
"No way!" When you looked more closely, the two men you saw in the daytime walked in this direction. This is the closest place to a merchant ship, with the best view, and you can easily get on board as long as you have some light work. If they have bad intentions towards merchant ships, they will come back. It's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go!"
The charming and enchanting timbre speaks hair-making words, which are so special that you will never forget them once you hear them.
That's right, I've heard this voice, and I've heard it in the Penglai Inn in Qizhi, and it's also the voice of the person I've been looking for. I immediately understood in my heart who was standing above.
Qi Jiuniang is here, who is on the ship? I subconsciously turned my sore neck to look at the merchant ship.
At the right time, the person above said, "Did the people on the boat send any news?, and there are big fish falling into the net cast over there?" Listening to her words, it seemed that she had taken two more steps towards the edge of the cliff.
"Back to Qi's house, there is no news from Xiangling yet. Maybe the people didn't come during the day? Let's look around again?" it was a woman who spoke, and she spoke at a moderate pace, but her voice was not calm. She carefully concealed her nervousness and fear.
There was silence for another moment, not knowing what Qi Jiuniang was thinking.
"Qi, Qi is in charge?" the woman's voice sounded like she was trembling. I craned my neck to beg the men to leave, but I was distracted by the woman's inexplicable voice.
She's scared! It's so strange, this Qi Jiuniang hasn't done anything, what is she afraid of?
And, didn't you find us? Why do you think her tone looks like she let go, and now she is asking for sin? For no reason, I remembered the yin and yang weird words of the shopkeeper of Penglai Inn.
Could it be that Qi Jiuniang's merchant ship is really scary?
Before I had time to think about it, Qi Jiuniang's voice had already come from above: "Then it's best to be diligent, and let this seat worry about everything." Be sure to get the results before dawn, or you'll head to the comfort barn at the bottom of the cabin to serve the guests. Got it?"
"Qi is in charge of sparing his life! His subordinates must live up to his mission!" the woman was shaking her teeth when she spoke this time.
Compared with her, Qi Jiuniang seemed much more lazy and calm: "It's good to understand." Just four words, but the words smashed on the kneeling woman's heart, and helped the woman up with one hand, Qi Jiuniang continued: "This seat is different from Yue Yun's waste, never raise waste people on the boat, if you want to live well and have status, you have to fight for it yourself." ”
"Yes! The subordinates understand! The subordinates will go to find it, even if they turn over the woods outside this bay and dig three feet into the ground, they will find out the two people during the day!" the woman said in a crying voice, as if she was frightened.
Qi Jiuniang's faint voice seemed to be comforting: "Go, go, this seat is waiting for your good news." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief at the bottom of the cliff that someone had finally left. Next, I hope that this Qi Jiuniang will also leave quickly - it is best to ...... I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard a male voice above say, "Qi Dangjia, could those two people be Yue Yun's people?"
"Who knows?" Qi Jiuniang's voice finally had a hint of seriousness, but when she spoke, she was still bewitching for the most part, "That one-eyed monster knows that it is aimed at this seat all day long." When one day this seat is full-fledged, he will destroy his Yue family's caravan, and this seat wants to see if he has time to shed tears in one eye?"
"Qi is wise!" the man hurriedly patted the horse.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go. Go back to the boat and have a look. ”
As soon as Qi Jiuniang's words fell, I saw a black shadow like smoke and mist rising from the edge of the cliff. The boat was on the water not far below, and they must have jumped down. Seeing this, I immediately let go of the dagger and pounced!
The other party probably didn't expect someone to suddenly appear under the cliff, and I hugged my calf like that......
I didn't know that I would react so quickly, I only knew at this time that I wanted to respond to the news of where Long was sold, and asking her was the most direct way. "Ahh
My foot is still stuck in the crack of the stone, this time I am afraid that Qi Jiuniang will directly hit the cliff. At the last moment, I hoped that she wouldn't be smashed on the head.
When I saw Qi Jiuniang jump down, I really didn't have time to think about the consequences...... So it became what it is now.
