Chapter 478: The Man in the Dark
The southeast coast of Xizhou is the East Shore Sea. The river that runs through Wandu www.biquge.info eventually flows to this sea.
Because of the vastness of the sea, unlike the boats on the small river, if you want to reach the island as soon as possible, you must take a sailboat. Fortunately, the palace made a contribution, and soon hired a ship about dozens of feet long, in which there were several small rooms, for rest, although not as comfortable and gorgeous as a double-decker pleasure boat, but for navigation, this kind of sailing ship was sufficient.
There are five people in the group, none of whom are people who know how to sail, and among them, there is only Qi Yu who has done this kind of sailing - he has followed his father to fight in the north and south since he was a child, and has traveled around, and Dongyuan Sea has naturally come several times, not only him, but also Su Chen has been here several times.
At that time, the wind and waves were calm, the sky was wonderful, the blue sky was like washing, looking at it from afar, the sky was connected to the sea, the white clouds were flawless, the flowers were floating in the air, and from time to time there was a flock of seabirds flying by. Beneath your feet are the wet reef and mud and sand, the blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and the waves roll in and crash against the reef.
Standing here, Fang appreciated the size of heaven and earth, the insignificance of people, and it seemed that all troubles could go away with the wind. The so-called sea is inclusive, if people's hearts are as vast as the sea, how can they add to their worries?
"Let's go and rest for a while, or you might get seasick later." Qi Yu finally jumped on the boat and said to Tang Guxi and Jade Cicada, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head to Lin Xun and looked at him hesitantly.
Lin Xun hurriedly jumped back and said loudly: "You just let the two of you go, don't underestimate people, how can I get seasick?" Don't forget, I grew up on horseback......"
Qi Yu smiled, "Whatever you want." ”
Tang Guxi and Jade Cicada were not seasick, but they came all the way, and they were already tired, and Tang Guxi had just recovered from a serious illness, and they were not in a hurry to enjoy the scenery on the sea, so the two simply walked in.
Lu Wei was in charge of placing the luggage, and he had a large bag on his body, and he had already followed the boatman to the compartment to be busy. On the deck, only Lin Xun and Qi Yu remained.
The ship itself was not large, and there were not many helmsmen, surrounded by boatmen in coarse cloth shirts carrying goods back and forth. Although it was a hired boat, it was also carrying other fishermen and healers who went to the island to collect medicine, and there were very few pedestrians.
Lin Xun boarded the ship for the first time, couldn't suppress his curiosity, looked at the vast sea and praised again and again, sometimes chanting poetry and sometimes singing, since he came out of the palace, he had never had such a happy moment, as if in the blink of an eye he had become a child playing with Qi Yu all day long.
But after a while, there was a "wow" sound next to him, and Qi Yu didn't have to look back, he knew that it was Lin Xun who vomited. He walked unhurriedly, without laughing at anything, beckoned the boatman to come and clean up, and let one of them carry him back.
Thinking back to Lin Xun's pale face, Qi Yu stood in the sea breeze and laughed for a while.
The sun is setting, and the twilight is vast. On the empty deck, he was the only one who stood tall and straight, like a pine in the mountains, standing in the wind.
Mayfly Island, Mayfly Island......
The closest to this is Mayfly Island.
It's been a year, and she's on this island, how should she be? Can the venom of plum blossom poison be completely cleared? Can the sequelae of the antidote be alleviated? The kind of flower that can be eaten by mixing with seawater...... Is it really a miracle? What has become of her, will she not dare to see him? What should he say then?
Qi Yu closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, letting the salty sea breeze blow straight to his cheeks, relieving the headache and brain fever caused by the burning.
When I opened my eyes again, it was a little darker.
He sighed, turned around, and walked towards the slightly open wooden door. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a figure that flashed past him at a very fast speed, and when he looked at it again, it had long since disappeared.
His heart lifted, years of battlefield experience made him always vigilant, although the people on this ship were strictly checked and controlled, but it was inevitable that there would be fish that slipped through the net.
You must know that Tang Guxi and Lin Xun provoked a year ago are not a few. If there are assassins, they will come at them.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Yu had already walked in the direction of the man, but there was silence all around, only a few boatmen not far away were tending to the goods, and when they saw him, they all raised their heads.
"Qi Gongzi, is there something wrong?" Several people looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
"Can you see someone passing?"
"No ......"
"No, it's just the four of us."
"Who is Childe looking for?"
Qi Yu shook his head, turned around and walked to the side, carefully observing the surrounding scenery, and stopped when he passed a heavy wooden plank under his feet.
"What is this?" He pointed to the plank.
"That's the entrance to the cabin, it's long gone, because the entrance is too small, and many goods can't get in, so we have to reopen one. If Childe wants to go down, he can go from that big one-"
"No need." Qi Yu turned his head, stared at the wooden board on the ground, threw the long sword in his hand on the ground, knelt down on one knee, and slowly lifted the wooden board.
It was pitch black in all directions below, and it was getting late, and it was even more blurry in the twilight. Qi Yu's eyes deepened, staring at this darkness, his lips tightened together, and in the dark, he felt more and more that there must be something strange underneath.
"Childe, you want to-"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Yu jumped down.
Because of the light work, when he landed quietly, his eyes suddenly fell into darkness, and when he got used to it, he faintly saw some objects - all of them were just stacked wooden boxes, and some fishing nets and other fishing equipment.
And yet, to his dismay, he came down unharmed!
If that person really wanted to stop himself, he would not wait for himself to come down, and he would have preemptively struck at the moment he jumped off. However, after landing for a long time, the other party did not make any moves.
Seem...... The other party is not to be his enemy, but to ...... Rather, it was deliberately led him down.
Deliberately lure him down?
Who is the other person, what is he going to do, and why is he being brought down? A series of conjectures came to his mind, Qi Yu was not afraid of how strong the opponent was, what he was afraid of was that he didn't know the other party's mind, what should he do if he won the trick?
Medium?!
As soon as this thought came out, Qi Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, how could he forget that there were four unsuspecting people on it! Lin Xun is seasick, Tang Guxi is recovering from a serious illness, Jade Cicada is powerless, and only one Lu Wei can fight against the assassins!
In just a moment, Qi Yu's mind went blank, and he was about to fly up when he turned around.
However, as soon as his feet left the ground, a pair of hands flew sideways and grabbed him. Qi Yu reacted quickly, although he was pulled up, he didn't slow down his actions for half a minute, kicked out, the other party suddenly took a few steps back, and after landing on the ground, he turned his palm into a knife and slashed straight at the opponent's neck.
However, as he took the palm, an unusually familiar face appeared in the darkness. The wind swept over, and when it was only two inches from the man's neck, it suddenly stopped.
