Hai Qin dreamed again.

There was a sharp knock outside the hatch, pulling Hai Qin back from his dream back into the real world. He picked up the flask and poured himself a glass of wine to refresh himself. Outside the door, the sailor's knock became more and more urgent, and he shouted: "Captain!

Hai Qin was suddenly a little bored, it was common to encounter pirates at sea, and these useless sailors had to wake him up every time, as if they wouldn't fight the pirates to the death if they hadn't watched them. Hai Qin put on his cloak, picked up the sword hanging on the hanger, and finally cheered up before rushing out the door.

Hai Qin jumped out of the cabin, just in time to see a pirate rushing to the hatch, cutting down the sailor who had been knocking on the door to urge him with a single sword, and the target of the next knife was himself.

Hai Qin didn't have time to draw his sword, so he could only use his scabbard to resist. The pirate collected his knife and wanted to slash horizontally, but Hai Qin was short, and the scabbard stabbed on the pirate's life. The pirate was in pain, so Hai Qin seized the opportunity to draw his sword and cut off the pirate's head.

It was a big favor for me. Looking at the sailor's corpse, Hai Qin thought so for no reason. What they encountered was a pirate fleet, and a whole three black flag sailing ships had surrounded Hai Qin's ship, and the pirates and sailors were fighting on the deck, and there were constantly pirates jumping on Hai Qin's deck.

Hai Qin saw the situation clearly and jumped onto the deck to fight side by side with his sailors. There were too many pirates, and Hai Qin could only fight and retreat. He noticed that on the largest black-flag ship, a middle-aged man in a captain's hat was staring at him with a smirk, looking confident.

After determining the position of the other captain, Hai Qin began a fierce counterattack. After all, pirates are just a rabble, and Hai Qin has received professional combat training, and soon fought his way out, and he is getting closer and closer to the other captain.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the pirate captain himself jumped onto Hai Qin's deck, holding a scimitar in his hand, staring at Hai Qin with fierce eyes.

Hai Qin roared and rushed forward with his sword raised, and the pirate captain stood motionless, just putting on a posture of battle. The simple slash of the long sword was easily blocked by the pirate captain, and then the captain slashed at Hai Qin's abdomen with another sword. Hai Qin jumped back, but he was able to avoid the scimitar, and the pirate captain was unforgiving, and the stormy attack came towards Hai Qin.

Hai Qin constantly blocked with his sword, while looking for the pirate captain's flaws. The captain looks like an experienced man, and he lives a life of licking blood from the knife all year round. The scimitar is harder than the other, and he doesn't care about the more and more cuts on his blade. Hand-to-hand combat, fighting is the endurance of steel, Hai Qin gradually couldn't parry, just a few more slashes, the pirate captain was confident to let his sword get out of his hands.

The pirate captain's strength is amazing, which makes Haiqin, who has always been good at agility, very uncomfortable. As the saying goes, four or two dials a thousand catties, but when this weight reaches 10,000 catties, it is far from what the current Haiqin can resist.

Defeating the strong with the weak, the emphasis is on constantly weakening the endurance of the strong, and when the strong is tired, his strength will come to the same level as himself, and the importance of agility is reflected at this time, but the pirate captain on the other side does not look tired at all, but Hai Qin began to gradually show fatigue between dodging and parrying again and again.

"You shouldn't be here!" the pirate captain screamed, grabbing a flaw in Hai Qin and slashing him hard in the shoulder.

Hai Qin's tiger's mouth was finally shattered by the impact force because of the parry again and again. The wounded Hai Qin had even more difficulty parrying the captain's attack, and the wounds on his body became more and more numerous.

I don't know how many more rounds were fought, Hai Qin was already covered in blood, and the desire to survive made Hai Qin start to want to escape, the pirates gradually occupied the deck, and Hai Qin's sailors were slaughtered one after another. Gradually, the pirates formed an encirclement, surrounding Hai Qin and their captain in the middle, staring at the battle inside the encirclement with an excited expression.

Hai Qin's consciousness began to become trance-like, as if he had returned to Xi Mu's shabby tavern, where there were no delicious women, only a man in black who couldn't see his face clearly hiding behind the bar......

"You shouldn't be here......"

"Come closer...... I can't reach ......."

As if driven by magic, Hai Qin slowly approached the man in black.

A thunderbolt pierced the sky, and Hai Qin suddenly came back to his senses, what kind of bar was this, and there was no man in black in front of him, only the smiling pirate captain, and the blade in his hand that flashed with cold light.

The pirate captain's sword fell, and the world in Hai Qin's eyes began to tilt, and the sky spun around. He was sluggish to realize that it was not the world that was spinning, but himself. Hai Qin's human head rolled on the deck, as if he had escaped from the pirate captain.

In Hai Qin's eyes, he saw a rickety man in black walking out of the pirate encirclement, and after the pirate captain saw him, he walked up to the man in black as if he was inviting merit, pointed at Hai Qin's head and laughed.

"You shouldn't have come here......" The man in black stepped up to the head and warned again.

......

"Hai Qin! Hai Qin, wake up!"

Hai Qin sat up from the bed suddenly, and in front of him was the deputy captain Haige. Haigo was looking at him worriedly, concern written all over his face. Hai Qin looked around at his cabin blankly, wondering if he was still in a dream. Not only his clothes, but the entire bed was soaked with his sweat, Hai Qin picked up the kettle at hand and drank half of the pot violently, so that he finally recovered a little.

"Dreaming again?" asked Heigo.

Hai Qin nodded, nightmares had been surrounding him since his first voyage to Ximu for a divination. As long as he reached the sea, the closer he got to Ximu, the more real his dreams became, and the words of the man in black, "You shouldn't have come here", were like a magic spell that kept disturbing his thoughts in his mind.

Hai Qin always recalled what the man in black said, so far, he has become the captain of the ship as he wished, but this is already one of the information foreseen by the man in black, the man in black has told Hai Qin all his life, but he doesn't know when the curse in the second half of the prophecy will come.

"A seagull came to the sea. Haige took out a note from his arms and handed it to Hai Qin.

Receiving information at sea is not an easy task. No one can fathom the temper of the goddess of the sea, and coupled with the freedom of the sea, the captain can go wherever he wants. Therefore, generally no news is received at sea, and only when something particularly important happens, the land will send a full twenty letter gulls to deliver the news, but the people on land are not sure whether the people at sea will be able to receive the news.

Hai Qin spread out the note, his expression was much soothed, and finally he laughed and asked Haige: "Tuo that kid is getting married?"

Haige laughed and said, "We're all going to send us messages at sea, it should be true." ”

"Who would have thought," a memory appeared in front of Hai Qin's eyes, "that kid who did the same work as other sailors on the ship and never complained was actually the prince of Changxia." It's been a few years, two years, right?"

"Three years. Heigo corrected.

"Three years! Hahaha! Three years! It seems that he is doing well, there is still half a month to go, can we rush back?"

"If you land in Imperial Harbour, no problem. Heigo assured.

Hai Qin poured two glasses of water from the kettle, handed one to Haige, and said, "Then speed up, and by the way, pray to the goddess of the sea to give us the wind to go home." If it's early, I can still prepare some gifts for Taku. ”

"Respect to the prince. Haigo raised his glass and said.

"Respect to the prince!"

The two of them replaced the wine with water and drank it all. Before he could make any more small talk, he heard the shouts of sailors on the deck, quick and clear.

"There is a black flag! There is a black flag in the East!"
