Chapter 16: Qi Ling's Pursuit
The next morning, the rain stopped, the thick clouds in the sky faded, the sea returned to calm, and everything was red with the rising sun, as if there had never been a torrential rain or a war. www.biquge.info The sun has always been like this, always bringing people the illusion of peace and hope.
Xuan Shao was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunrise on the sea, because Mu Yunmo had not woken up yet. He moved the deserter he knocked unconscious under the boat, and then pushed the boat into the water, he couldn't know what was going on on the island, he couldn't leave the unconscious Mu Yunmo to investigate, so he decided to sail to the desert island where his Xizhao army rested before, there should still be tents and food left over from that night, and wait until he got to the island to check Mu Yunmo's situation, and then make plans.
Gai fed Mu Yunmo some water, and then rowed towards the island.
The news of Xuan Shao's disappearance was reported back to Xi Zhao that afternoon.
"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Miyin asked her subordinates to bring back the news, her troops have found and successfully rescued the hijacked crew, the battle continues, some of the pirate smuggling alliance has been unable to resist the attack of our army, and it has been decided to negotiate peace, and some pirate gangs are struggling to resist, and it is expected that they can be defeated in one fell swoop before tonight." The scout sent back by Miyin to deliver the news saluted Jiayang Twilight.
"Good! Worthy of my bustling army! "Jiayang twilight day is happy.
Xuan Yue was also present at this time, and she came to the palace very early to know the information about her brother's side as soon as possible.
At this time, the scout glanced at Xuan Yue and said hesitantly: "But... General Xuan Shao disappeared yesterday afternoon, and during the battle, he and his troops were scattered, and Lord Miyin led his troops to attack while looking for the general, but there is no news so far. Lord Miyin said that he would find General Xuan Shao as soon as possible and then return to the island, and the general should be on the island. ”
"What? Brother he....missing?! How so? Xuan Yue shouted, the anxious look on her face was self-evident, and everyone present was also very surprised.
"Will Xuan Shao be in the hands of the Chihu people?" Jiayang Jinglin, who was standing next to Jiayang Twilight, asked.
"Miyin-sama was also suspicious, but she asked the Chihu people who were negotiating peace, and they revealed that General Xuan Shao was not in the hands of the Pirate Alliance." The Scout replied.
"I'm going to Chihu Island to find my brother!" Xuan Yue said firmly.
"No way!"
Wei Chixin shouted, he had a very good personal relationship with the Xuan family, and the people present didn't think much about it, but he himself was slightly embarrassed, lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Xuan Yue, Chihu is already very chaotic, now that there is a war, it will be more dangerous for you to go, besides, Miyin's reconnaissance ability is strong, and Xuan Shao will definitely be found, let's wait for the news first." Jiayang Dusky said to Xuan Yue.
"Please, Your Majesty......" Xuan Yue still insisted on going, with pleading in her tone.
"No, how anxious would Xuan Shao be if he knew where you went? If you believe in Xuan Shao, there will be no problem with his ability. Jiayang Twilight rejected Xuan Yue, his tone was not negotiable, and then he turned around and walked towards the inner hall, Xuan Shao and Xuan Yue were the children he watched grow up, and they were a pair of children of his best brother, and now that Xuan Shao was missing, he couldn't let Xuan Yue have an accident.
Yu Chixin followed behind Jiayang Dusk, and secretly glanced back at Xuan Yue when he was about to enter the inner hall.
Xuan Yue didn't go home after walking out of the palace, and rode directly to the port of Deyin in the southeast of Yunlang Kingdom.
Deyin Port is the closest port to Chihu Island, and many merchants who go to Chihu Island to buy and sell goods will start from here, so there are long-term ships from here to Yanmiao Island.
Xuan Yue arrived at Deyin Port, but he didn't want the ship's family to refuse the business of going to Chihu Island in one go, without exception, because Chihu was at war, and no one was willing to take this risk.
"Please, take me to Chihu Island, I can pay you ten times more." Xuan Yue asked the last boatman with a heart that was about to despair.
"Girl, it's not that I don't want to earn this money, but I don't want to take over a business and end up with my life! I advise you to go back quickly, Chihu Island is very dangerous right now! The boatman refused.
Xuan Yue was anxiously not knowing what to do, and suddenly a halberd pointed at the neck of the boatman, Xuan Yue was startled, and looked back to find that it was Wei Chixin.
Wei Chixin put Bikong close to the boatman's neck with one hand, and threw a money bag with the other hand on the boat, and said to the boatman: "Go to sea, this money is all yours, if not, I will let you die on your ship now!" The choice is yours. ”
"Don't! Hero! Can't I take you there? Hey, count me unlucky, let's go! The boatman was so frightened that his legs were a little weak, so he had to agree to Wei Chixin.
On the boat heading towards Chihu, neither Xuan Yue nor Yu Chixin spoke, although Xuan Yue wanted to ask Yu Chixin why she knew why she knew that she was going to Chihu Island secretly and why she came with her, but she still twisted her head to the side and didn't look at Yu Chixin.
"Goooo
"Whoa." Wei Chixin took out the dry food and handed it to Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue hesitated for a moment, but still blushed and quickly took the dry food, then turned his back to Wei Chixin and ate it.
Looking at the stubborn Xuan Yue, Wei Chixin couldn't help laughing, he was speechless all the way, just silently looking at Xuan Yue's back.
"Lord Zuo Xiang, the people under him were discovered by Mu Yan when they attacked Xuan Shao and Mu Yunmo, and as a result... Didn't kill either of them. Pei Xi said to Qi Ling tremblingly.
"Then Mu Yan caught your people?" Qi Ling said unexpectedly flatly. However, Pei Xi's heart was even more uneasy, because Qi Ling had never been intimidating with his angry temper, and his subordinates knew that when he was calm, it was even more terrifying.
"No, the few people who were chased by Mu Yan ended up jumping off the cliff. Mu Yan and Mu Yunmo were hit by a poisonous crossbow and were seriously injured. Peixi replied cautiously.
"So what's the battle situation between Hee Zhao and Chihu?" Qi Ling's tone was still so calm that Pei Xi couldn't read it through.
"It seems that Xizhao has the upper hand, and most of the people in the Chihu pirate gang have decided to negotiate peace, and it is estimated that the rest will be soon..."Pei Xi lowered his head, not daring to look at Qi Ling.
"You bring more people, kill Mu Yan and Mu Yunmo, you didn't destroy Xizhao's battle, and getting rid of those two people is not a waste of opportunity. They're seriously injured, and it's a great opportunity, so you can do it. Then Qi Ling turned his head and looked deeply at Pei Xi with an extremely sharp gaze.
Pei Xi suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and this gaze seemed to tell Pei Xi: "I don't give you the right to fail this mission"
"My subordinates understand." Pei Xi forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, left Qi Ling's mansion, and quickly thought of a way to do it in his mind, and immediately set off for Chihu.
