Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 185 The Thief
The bilge was littered with thunderbolt fireballs, which were ignited by the flames, and they immediately burst into rage.
Xu Xuan's throat was sweet, and he was turned over and flew up by the violent shock wave, and everyone screamed in surprise and fell into the river one after another. The sails and the cabins were in flames, and even the flocks of birds hovering above were on fire, screaming and falling.
In the bright purple and red light, I saw pieces of iron dancing wildly, broken wood flying, and the head of the wolf carving ancestor spun up into the sky, screaming miserably, hitting the broken mast, and then bounced towards the cabin, and rolled down in front of the seven women who were visiting relatives and blowing pipes.
The hideous and ugly eyes glared at the women viciously, but they didn't realize it, and they still played in unison, mechanically and smoothly. In this burst of roars and screams, it was particularly passionate and joyful
Hai Dongqing screamed and landed on Xu Xuan's chest, he stroked the back of its neck, lay on the deck, inhaled heavily, looking at the black, purple and red night sky, there seemed to be stratus clouds stirring in his chest, and he couldn't help but howl
If it was in the past, killing the Wolf Eagle Ancestor in one fell swoop, he would have been excited and cheering, but at this time, not only did he not feel the slightest joy, but he was even more sad and painful. The whistling intensified, overshadowing the music and roar, and the exclamations and screams around it, rumbling and echoing with the thunder.
The lightning flickered, the clouds rolled, and suddenly it snowed in the sky. The snowflakes grew bigger and bigger, rolling in a chaotic manner, mixed with dense ice droplets, and "aggressively" hit the cabin roof, canvas and deck, and the green smoke danced wildly, and the fire gradually became smaller.
The bandits floated on the water, cold and afraid, shivering, but they did not dare to climb into the boat. Suddenly, I heard someone screaming: "An Yuchen committed the following crimes, perverse acts, it is really cheap to kill him like this villain Hu Sanshu, I am willing to swear to follow the emperor to the death, change my heart, put on my liver and drain my guts, go to the soup and go to the fire, and never give up."
The rest of the pirates woke up from a dream and shouted: "We are willing to swear allegiance to the emperor to the death, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up."
Xu Xuan was even more angry and disgusted when he heard this, and turned to laugh wildly, just wanting to jump up and kill all these evil thieves who saw the wind and made the rudder.
Everyone heard the cold murderous intent in his laughter, and the shouts became quieter and quieter, but Hu Sanshu was quite bold, grabbed the hanging rope, quickly climbed onto the side of the boat, and knocked his head a few times towards him, and said loudly: "With the emperor's ability to reach the sky, there is no need for us ants to help." However, in the whole world, there are very few strong ships and cannons that are better than this wolf eagle. If the emperor wants to rush into the Qiantang River, bombard Lin'an, and then kill the dog emperor with his own hands to vent his hatred...... Maybe it's just the little ones."
Xu Xuan's heart was shocked, and his laughter stopped.
Hu Sanshu saw that there was a turnaround, and he was even more energetic, and said: "On that day, Emperor Zhao Song Dog heard that the emperor was out of Emei, and he was so angry that he sent masters of various Taoist and Buddhist factions to the heavens and the earth to chase and kill everywhere. We were all filled with righteous indignation when we heard it, and we hated to follow the emperor into the inner circle, and it was a pity to destroy the dog emperor and destroy the nine clans......"
The wrinkled thin face squeezed out a look of grief and indignation, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that in the past few months, there has been no news of Emperor Zun, and the gods and dragons have no leader, and everyone is anxious. A few days ago, when I heard that the green dragon appeared in Beihai, the brothers were very excited, and they all expected that the emperor must have found Penglai, descended the dragon and returned, and swept the world, and they were all looking forward to it. Unexpectedly...... I didn't expect to be able to meet the emperor today and see the power of God, the villain really got his long-cherished wish, and he was blinded when he died" When he said the last sentence, he wiped the raindrops on his face, and choked with a trembling voice, but it really seemed to be excited to tears.
Green Dragon? Xu Xuan was shocked again when he heard this, could it be that Qinglong also escaped from Penglai Mountain? But at this time, all my thoughts were focused on the nine words of "bombarding Lin'an and assassinating the Dog Emperor", recalling the scene of the Jinguo Tartars bombarding Jinshan Temple that day, and my heart jumped even more suddenly.
Eighteen cannons were installed on each side of the bilge of this pirate ship, which was extremely powerful, and it was indeed difficult for the Great Song Sailors to resist. No matter how far the cannon range, it can't blast into the palace from the Qiantang River, but as long as it can stir up the panic of the people in the capital, with the temperament of the Zhao official family who is greedy for life and afraid of death, most of them will have to go out of the city to avoid danger. In this way, there is a chance to intercept it halfway
Although he is extremely smart, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy after all, and he considers many hardships and difficulties very simply, thinking that he can avenge his parents, and he rushes to the top with enthusiasm for a while, and he can't care about anything.
At that moment, he was lucky enough to be angry, and shouted loudly: "Okay, the widow will give you a chance to atone for your sins." If you want to keep the head of Xiang Shang, you will break through Lin'an City and vent your hatred for the widow. Otherwise, this is your fate" with a "bang" palm, smashing the head of the wolf eagle ancestor into the air and blowing it apart.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, sweated coldly, and cheered. At the moment, he pulled the rope, scrambled to climb onto the side of the ship, and under the dispatch of Hu Sanshu, he methodically extinguished the flames and checked the damage to the big ship.
Nahu Sanshu was originally a talent in Fujian, but he had no way to take the imperial examination, and he was disheartened, so he simply joined An Yuchen's door with a few scoundrels in the clan and became a pirate. Although he is slippery and cunning, and his words are like a tide, he is good at doing things and commanding well, and he is a figure who is quite trustworthy among the group of thieves. At this time, he was bent on pleasing the "Demon Emperor", and he cheered up his spirits and took out all his skills.
The ship is made of Fuso's "agarwood wood", which is extremely solid, and there are several sealed waterproof compartments around the bilge. Although the deck, keel, and mast were damaged by the thunderbolt fire, there was not a single leak in the bottom of the ship.
Bandits have been at sea for decades and have experienced many battles, and they are even more experienced in how to quickly repair ships. In addition to food, fresh water, and looted goods, the ship also stockpiled a lot of fine wood, which was immediately ready for complete refurbishment.
Xu Xuanpan sat in the cockpit, wanting to close his eyes and breathe, but his heart was sad and hateful, holding Hai Dongqing, listening to their "tinkling" repair sound all night, sleepless all night, and only took a nap when it was almost dawn. When I opened my eyes again, the sky was as blue as indigo, and it was almost noon.
The bandits were still shuttling back and forth between the deck and the bilge, and the seemingly battered ship had been almost repaired, and even the broken mainmast had been replaced, and the sails were inspired, and the flags were hunting.
When Hu Sanshu saw him wake up, he hurriedly took three steps and made two steps to run to the stern cabin, and said respectfully: "Emperor Qi, the ship has been repaired and can set sail." The villain counted the number of people, more than 160 dead and wounded, and there were 218 people left, which was enough to change for three batches of rotational rest, day and night, at full speed, and could arrive in Lin'an in eight or nine days at the earliest. The food stored on the ship was enough to last until then. Two of the thirty-six cannons have been damaged, and there are thirty-four remaining available, and there are two hundred and twenty-one Thunderbolt fireballs left, if they are not enough, when they pass through the Fire Island, they can be loaded with some more ......"
Seeing that his eyes were bloodshot and his face was tired, but his words were still the same as the head, and the lines were clear, Xu Xuan secretly felt a little appreciative, but thinking that he had fallen to this point, he was planning with this burning, killing and plundering pirate how to attack Jingshi, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and disgusted.
However, when he thought about the tragic death of his parents, he suddenly became angry again, and said in his heart: "Over the years, the people in Lin'an City who have been blessed by the 'Renji Hall's benevolence are more than thousands, and when my father and mother were executed by Ling Chi, how could those onlookers have any mercy?" If they have no compassion, why should I care about their lives or death? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately ordered the group of thieves to immediately release the woman on the boat and sail at full speed.
The pirates did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly complied with his instructions, and dressed the dozen or so women who had survived, and sent them to two small ships together with the seven blind and deaf musicians, and threw away some food and furs to keep them warm, and left them to fend for themselves.
Most of those women were Jurchens and Goryeo, who escaped death, and wept in surprise and thanks. The big ship sailed far away, and they could still be seen kneeling on the small boat, kowtowing and crying. Only the seven rakuka, who did not know what had happened, reached out and groped for the edge of the boat, their faces dazed.
"Swan Village" is really only more than 20 miles away from the sea, after a small half an hour, the river in front of it is getting wider and wider, and the vast ocean can be seen. At this time, it was nearly October, and the ship was sailing on the sea, and the sails were inspired, and the march was like flying. The thieves are like fish returning to the sea, and birds are returning to the sky, cheering endlessly.
The sky and the sea are vast, and there is not a single island in sight. Apart from them, there are only the endless white clouds and the occasional flying bird.
In this vast and boundless ocean, time seems to be particularly long. Xu Xuan sat in the stern cabin, listening to the sails, the roar of the waves, and the shouts and songs of the bandits, full of anger, like an arrow, every moment, every moment, was so anxious.
I finally survived until the evening, the sunset melted gold, the sea was like plating, and the wind was getting colder and colder. He sat for a day, and he couldn't stand it, and then followed Hu Sanshu to An Yuchen's cabin to rest.
The interior of the house is extremely spacious and luxurious, not at all like in a cramped sea boat. There are four plates of cold dishes and eight bowls of hot dishes on the table, and the taste is not inferior to the tavern chef of Lin'an. However, he had no appetite, and only ate half a bowl of roasted beast meat and rice, and handed over the rest to Hai Dongqing.
Woke up in the middle of the night, the moonlight was like milk, half of the bed flowed, he couldn't remember where he was, and seemed to have returned to Lin'an's home. Suddenly, a big wave came, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the sea holly cried and landed on his arm, and he was covered in a cold sweat and remembered everything.
The heart suddenly felt like someone had been stabbed severely, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't breathe. They died, they died, and now he was really the only one left in the world
He sat up sharply, his mouth open, gasping for breath, and the sorrow that had been held for a whole day finally erupted like a torrent, tears pouring out, blurring the whole world.
At this moment, there was a sharp earthquake of "boom", Hai Dongqing screamed, his body shook, and he almost fell off the bed. The horn outside the cabin was loud, and there were exclamations, and I vaguely heard Hu Sanshu shouting: "Turn the rudder and prepare to meet the enemy."
