Chapter 976: Where is the artillery hiding?
cpa300_4(); As soon as I opened the door, I saw a familiar, chilling face.
I was stunned.
Standing at the door was Liu Qinghan, who was also pushing open the hatch, half of his face was still a little athermic pale, and even his lips did not have the slightest blood, and when he was barely standing at the door, one hand was still struggling to prop up on the wall. Suddenly pushed open the door like this, and when he saw me, he was stunned for a while.
The two of them looked at each other stupidly like this, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
I don't know how long it took for me to come back to my senses from the shock of the blood surging in that moment, and looking at his clear, slightly red eyes, I said softly, "You-"
"Are you alright?"
“……”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was probably because of typhoid fever, and he was completely dumb.
I hurriedly shook my head.
Then, I heard him let out a long sigh of relief: "It's okay." ”
After saying this, he suddenly seemed to have collapsed a little, and his hand holding the door frame was a little unable to support it, seeing that he was about to fall, I hurriedly reached out to support him: "How are you?"
Holding him like this, at a close distance, I found that the uninjured half of his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his body seemed to be particularly weak, his arms were shaking, I hurriedly carried him to the bed, just two steps over, he could not support the fall on the bed.
I helped him to lie on the bed, subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead, and was immediately shocked by the heat of my hand.
"It's hot, you're having a fever!"
"It's been burning, it's fine. ”
He said this, but seemed to know that he was weak, looked up at me, and said with a slight gasp, "Give me some water to drink." ”
"Oh, good!"
I agreed, hurriedly went to the other side and poured him a cup of tea, but found that the tea was cold, but at this time I didn't care so much, hurriedly walked over and handed it to his mouth, he was very thirsty, his hands trembled and held my hand and the teacup in his hand, and drank it dry in a few sips.
I wiped his mouth for a while: "Do you want more?"
"......" he shook his head.
"Lie down!"
I squatted down to help him take off his shoes, and carefully helped him lie back on the bed, but he was still a little uneasy, lying on the bed and looking at me, although his eyes were clear, his eyes were a little chaotic for a while, and a little clear: "Here, where is it?"
"It's crossing the sea and flying clouds. ”
He thought back for a moment: "Pirate's ship?"
"Sort of, sort of. ”
"Sort of?" he frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
I looked at his pale, sweaty face, was silent for a moment, and said, "This ship should have been built by my mother at the expense of the past." ”
His eyes widened suddenly.
I felt like he was suffocating for breath, and he lay there a little stiff as if he had been struck by lightning.
And after saying that, I don't know what to say.
Already, everything is clear.
The ship built by my mother, the Franco cannon, the secret that has been hidden for many years.
This qiē is almost only separated from us by a layer of mist, and even as long as the sea breeze is more chilly and our eyes are sharper, we may be able to see through this qiē.
But—
My brow slowly deepened.
For a while, the two of them were quiet, he lay there quietly, I stood quietly by the bed, the sea breeze blew in from the window on the side, blowing the gray curtains on the bed and flying non-stop, as if countless clouds and mist covered my eyes, so that I couldn't see him clearly, and he seemed to be a little unable to see me.
I don't know how long it took for him to finally speak, and his hoarse voice seemed strangely hollow in the silent room.
"Mrs. Yan, the boat your mother built?"
"Yes. ”
"That is, senior brother said, the ship used to go to sea to hide the Franc machine artillery?"
"Yes. ”
He gasped.
I saw that his face became more and more pale, and even pale with a bluish gray, which is the face of a person who has quite a strict typhoid fever, and I immediately regretted it, I should not have told him about this matter so quickly, and I hurriedly advised him to rest first, after all, it is still unknown now, and the Iron Mask King is not such a good talker.
However, before my words came out, Liu Qinghan had already spoken, and his voice was also tinged with a chill-
"How far is this ship, from the Franc artillery?"
I was startled, looked at him, and didn't speak.
If other people heard this sentence, they must have felt that he was asking a little inexplicable, but at this moment, I can fully understand what he means.
On this ship, how far are we from the truth, from the murder weapons?
Perhaps, it's really not far off.
No matter how vigilant the Iron Mask King is, no matter how long this secret has been sealed, there will be a day when the truth will come out, and I, as the eldest lady of the Yan family, got on this ship, and even I didn't believe that I would return empty-handed, not to mention, there are so many people with different intentions and even ambitions, searching and searching in this batch of sea areas.
I glanced down at him, my eyes flickering.
We are on this ship, and we are not far from the Franco-machine artillery, maybe it really is not far away.
Then, I saw that his eyebrows were deeply wrinkled, and his eyes, which were exceptionally clear because of the fever, suddenly became very deep and deep, like the bottomless ocean under his feet, although it was turbulent and stormy, but it was always impossible to see its deepest depths, to how many mysteries were hidden in it.
He was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly: "Do you really want to let those things come out?"
“……!”
I looked at him with wide eyes.
What did he say?!
I was completely stunned for a while, and even couldn't believe my ears, so I could only look at him stupidly, but I saw that his brows were deeply locked, and the deep folds in the center of his eyebrows seemed to be full of worry, and when he looked at me again, he was already too heavy to bear.
I subconsciously said, "What did you say?"
He looked at me with a heavy expression, but he seemed to hesitate, as if he was hesitating whether he should tell me or not.
But after a long silence, he said again: "Those things, really want to let them-"
Before we finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door behind us: "Are you here?"
I was shocked, and subconsciously turned around, but saw Xue Muhua standing at the door, looking at us in some surprise, and then looked at me: "You-why did you come here?"
I subconsciously took a step back to the side, and she had already walked in.
I said, "I wanted to get it back, I thought this was my room, and it turned out—"
"Your room is next door. Xue Muhua said and smiled again: "However, it is not easy for you to find it back and find here." ”
Liu Qinghan was lying on the bed, looking at the two of us women standing on the edge of the bed, and subconsciously wanted to stand up from the bed, Xue Muhua hurriedly walked over and supported his shoulder: "Don't get up." You haven't recovered from typhoid fever yet, so you need to get some rest. ”
Being pressed by her like this, Liu Qinghan could only lie back down.
Xue Muhua pulled up the quilt and carefully covered him, and I had already put the used cup in my hand on the table, and looked back, he seemed to have forgotten what he had just said to me, and calmly lay on the bed and listened to Xue Muhua's advice a few times, and she finally said, "You can rest first." Later, when it's time to take the medicine, I'll have someone bring it to you. ”
"Thank you. ”
"You're welcome. ”
After speaking, Xue Muhua stood up and looked at me, and said, "Don't disturb him to rest, let's go out first." ”
"Hmm. ”
I nodded and followed her out of Liu Qinghan's room.
The room between the two of us is really next door, next to my cabin, but unfortunately although I remember so many twists and turns, I still don't remember this door, but after Xue Muhua walked into the cabin with me, he looked at me with a little appreciation: "This ship extends in all directions, like a labyrinth, I was dizzy when I first came up." Can you remember the way back?"
I just forced a smile and didn't say anything more.
After all, the skills I experienced in Hongyan Building, the skills I was trained, are not a past worth boasting about.
But—"You just came to me, what's wrong?"
Seeing her like that just now, it seemed to be a little more troubled than before she sent me to the Iron Mask King's cabin.
When she heard this, she immediately frowned again and nodded slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"We may not be able to go ashore for a while. ”
"What?"
Xue Muhua frowned, and said: "Originally, they planned to dock once in the near future, and they could also send me ashore with you, but maybe, this time will be delayed." ”
"Why?"
Xue Muhua walked up to me and said in a low voice: "Theirs--old nest, it seems that something has happened." ”
"The lair?" I widened in astonishment, "their lair?"
"Yes. She nodded and said, "I've been on the ship for a while, although I've been on the ship, but I've also heard some about it in their conversations, in addition to this ship, they have dominated several islands around here, it is said that because the location of the island corresponds to the seven stars in the sky, they call it a chain of islands, and the name of each island corresponds to the stars in the sky." ”
“……!”
I listened and listened, and immediately remembered that when the middle-aged man went to the Iron Mask King's room just now, I heard his last sentence, which seemed to mention "Tianquan", and I didn't care at all at that time, and I only understood when I heard Xue Muhua say this.
Tianquan is probably an island they occupy, because the location corresponds to the Tianquan Star in the sky, so it is called Tianquan Island.
I asked, "Is it Tianquan Island?"
When Xue Muhua heard this, he immediately nodded: "Yes, I heard them say so." ”
"So, what's going on Tianquan Island?"
"It's like, someone has taken possession. ”
"What?!"
I was shocked and looked at her with wide eyes: "Occupied?"
Xue Muhua nodded, lowered his voice a little more, and said softly: "They didn't tell me, I overheard it when I came back." In this sea, in addition to them, there is another group of pirates, you should know, the same group that was with you before. ”
I nodded hurriedly.
"That group of pirates is known as the Sea Serpents, and I say they have been operating in this area for decades, making a living by raiding passing merchant ships. They burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, and the most hateful thing was that they robbed things and killed all the people on the robbed boat, and the women were snatched back by them, and the people at sea were very afraid of them, and the eldest brother also hated them very much, and over the years, they had fought more than once or twice, and they all had casualties. ”
"Hmm. ”
I was not surprised that as soon as the pirates saw the ship, they immediately shouted the name "Crossing the Sea and Flying Clouds", and the Iron Mask King immediately ordered an attack on them, and I could tell that the two sides had a deep grudge.
I said, "You mean, that group of pirates has taken possession of their old nest, Tianquan Island?"
"That's how it should be. ”
"What are they doing with that island?"
"I don't know, I've been on the boat all these days since I was rescued by them, and I've never been on that island. But-" Xue Muhua thought for a moment and said, "Since it is their old nest, it may be where they live when they don't go to sea, or where they store food?"
"......" I didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Pirates and pirates, although they are thieves at sea, can't really be on the island all their lives, they have to go to land for a period of time to replenish food, clothing, and some necessities of life, and these things can't be kept on the ship all the time, of course, they have to find a place to store them.
Some pirates even hide their looted belongings on hidden islands.
Therefore, on Tianquan Island, there will inevitably be some assets of the Iron Mask King.
For example: food, clothing, money......
Even-
My heart pounded.
That's right, Franc machine artillery!
It was in his hands, but it was not seen on the ship, and they did not use the Franc cannon when dealing with the Sea Serpents, that is, the cannon was not on the ship at all.
If he hadn't been on the ship, he would have to find a place to hide it. And where such a large number of artillery pieces can be hidden, is there any other place than an island in the sea?
Thinking of this, I suddenly shuddered slightly.
At the same time, my heart sank.
Oops!
The Franco's cannon is likely to be hidden on Tianquan Island, but now, Tianquan Island is occupied by those pirates who do all kinds of evil!
In case, they found that batch of artillery-
I can't even think about it!
Looking at my frightened and pale face, Xue Muhua didn't know what was wrong, only looked at me with a little worry, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
"......" I glanced up at her and shook my head, "I'm fine." ”
She sighed and said, "It looks like this ship is going to the side of Tianquan Island." ”
“……”
"We're going to go ashore, and it's probably going to be a long time coming. ”
“……”
"Moreover, I heard that the people of the Sea Serpent Gang are also very fierce, I don't know what the result will be when they fight this time. ”
