Although the fog has dissipated a lot, the sea is still pitch black, and you can only hear the sound of the waves, and you can't see anything. Lian Sheng held the side of the boat with both hands, leaned out slightly, and then a few more people jumped in, only to hear the sound of paddling fading away.

Xu Yan came to the side of the boat with a horse lantern, and held the horse lantern to the sea, and a few shadows could be faintly seen floating in the darkness. Liansheng's heart had already risen to his throat, and in the darkness, no one knew how many dangers were hidden around him, and the people on the ship were holding their breath and staring at the sea tightly.

"My lord, there is a reef at the bottom of the sea."

Captain Gu sent a sailor to report.

"What do you mean? What are the consequences? Liansheng knows that it must be a bad thing to hit the rocks, but it depends on other professionals to have any impact on the hull.

"The situation is okay, it's not very serious, but Captain Gu thinks that the situation in this sea area is complicated, and now there is heavy fog, so it is not appropriate to continue to move forward, so he decided to drop anchor and wait for dawn, please decide."

After Xiao Bing finished talking about the specific situation in one breath, Lian Sheng nodded and said, "Your Gu Lieutenant is a professional, I listen to him, and the command of this ship completely belongs to him." ”

"Yes!"

After a moment of walking, the ship's jolting stopped, and it seemed that the anchor had been dropped, and the hull of the ship only swayed gently with the waves, like a cradle.

At this time, the fog gradually cleared a little, and the moon in the deep black sky could be vaguely seen, but the edge of the moon was blurred, revealing an ambiguous light, like a baked flatbread.

The people fluttering in the sea didn't know what was going on, Xu Yan held a horse lantern. Suddenly, he pointed in a direction and asked, "What's there?" ”

Liansheng followed her finger and looked over, only to see that there seemed to be a large black mass in front of the ship, and the island on the sea was still a big rock.

She hurriedly beckoned someone to recruit the sailors on board, who should have experience sailing on foggy days.

"Qianer, come up, that guy will run away if he escapes, and the sea is dangerous."

Liansheng grabbed the side of the boat and shouted at the sea.

It may be that he is already exhausted, and the sound of paddling is heard, and when the person reaches the bow of the boat, someone says, "Put the rope down." The voice was tired. It was Qianer.

Liansheng hurriedly asked someone to lower the rope. Pulled the people in the sea up one by one, fluttering in the sea water for a while, the few people who came up were tired, Xu Yan hurriedly went to the kitchen in the bilge to greet and bring hot rice soup up. Let's drive away the cold first. It's already September. The sea is still very cold.

"Damn, that guy escaped." Qianji smashed it into a circle on the deck in a circle.

"How could he suddenly disappear in the water?" The soldiers who went into the water together also felt strange.

"It's not that it's gone, I'm afraid someone is answering."

Another soldier interjected.

Someone answered? Is it possible?

A sailor in charge of the lookout in the bilge was called up. He went under the mast and hugged it, and with a few swishs climbed to the top of it, threw himself through the fog and looked for a while, then slid down again and reported: "My lord, general, there should be a boat ahead!" ”

"Boats? How big is it? ”

"It's much smaller than our ship, but it's dark and foggy and I can't see the specific situation, I don't know if it's a merchant ship."

"My lord, I know, that traitor just swam in that direction before disappearing." The soldier who entered the water suddenly remembered the details of being in the sea.

When Liansheng heard this, she didn't know if it was because the wind was too cold, and the hairs all over her body stood up, she rubbed her face vigorously, and forced this creepy feeling down, and then said, "Pass my order, and all the staff are in a state of combat readiness." It's dark and foggy, so beware of the enemy's attack. ”

The soldier gave the order, and Qianji stood up and looked at the dark sea in the distance: "Are you also worried that it is the big ship that disappeared?" ”

"Yes, Xuan Ming is too cunning, he jumped into the sea when we exposed it just now, I always think he has found a way out. Captain Gu said that the situation in this sea area is complicated, there are many reefs on the bottom of the sea, and now that the fog is so big that the situation is unknown, we can't continue to move forward, and we are trapped here. ”

"I'm going to change my clothes." Qianji also thought that Liansheng was right, turned around and went back to the cabin to change into wet clothes, and changed into a capable short fight, with a sword at his waist and a musket.

There is also one of this musket lotus sheng, which is carried in the pocket inside the clothes for self-defense. A person with strong martial arts like Qianji usually holds a musket as a thing, and he doesn't really hang it on his waist, and it can be seen that he also realizes that the situation is very critical.

Everything was quiet, only the sound of the sea rushing.

Liansheng's brain is running rapidly, Xuanming's gang was born in the Qin Palace, there are not many rivers in Xi'an City, these people may not be very good at water, and there will not be many people lurking in the water to ambush. She ordered the soldiers to stand one person along the side of the ship, every five steps, and closely observe the sea situation.

After a while, there was a faint sound of paddling.

Xu Yan hurriedly held the lantern in the direction where there was movement, vaguely looking like a small boat.

The sound of paddling is getting closer and closer, what is this man trying to do?

Qian'er stood at the bow of the boat and shouted: "Who is coming, this is an official ship, don't approach!" "There was still no sound from the boat, only the sound of the clattering of the water.

Qian'er is a person who knows martial arts, this shout is full of anger, and the people on the boat don't move at all, this is the enemy, they use the boat to attack closely? That's stupid, isn't it? The surroundings are so quiet, and the sound of paddling is listened to carefully, how can you sneak attack?

"Traitors, I warn you to stop!"

Qianji shouted again and pressed the musket on his waist with his hand.

Muskets! Fire! Liansheng suddenly thought of the explosion on Snake Island yesterday, and his heart was not good, this was a self-killing-style attack!

She hurriedly pulled Qian'er and said anxiously: "They must be told to stop, this ship is probably a big bomb!" ”

Qianji instantly understood what Liansheng meant. The geographical environment of this sea area is complex, Xuan Ming and others may have made two preparations, on the one hand, the people who set a trap and waited for themselves to throw themselves into the net and were killed on Snake Island, but they didn't expect that when it was just a few pathfinders who went to the island, the explosion also caused a volcanic eruption.

Now Xuan Ming's ship is hiding in front, thinking that it is their second-hand preparation, taking advantage of the night to quietly launch an attack, people are not as good as the sky, who would have thought that they would encounter heavy fog, this sea area is still so complicated, and their ship does not dare to act rashly. So when Xuan Ming went back, he sent a small boat carrying explosives as a death squad to confront the official ship.

But now that it's foggy and you can't get into the water, how can you cut off that boat? Xu Yan held the lantern high, and accidentally, a wisp of fire drilled out of the edge of the lantern, and it burned her hair with a bang, Xu Yan screamed, and Liansheng suddenly had an idea: "Use a rocket!" ”

It's a great idea, the fire on the rocket can help determine the direction of the boat, and it can also detonate the boat.

Qianji called ten archers and asked them to line up at the sound of paddling, and swished arrows in unison.

The feathers of these arrows are hung with cotton balls, which are soaked in vegetable oil and are burning vigorously. The rocket tore through the dark night, and by the light of the rocket, the boat could already be seen clearly, and there were four people on board, rowing desperately.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing where the enemy is, everyone's hearts are more scored, and it is a new round of rocket rain. The boat saw that it was leaking in the firelight, and hurriedly turned around and wanted to run, but it was too late, and the third batch of rockets just arrived, and the boat immediately caught fire, and with a loud bang, the boat exploded on the sea, and the people on board were blown up into the air and fell into the sea.

On the boat in the distance, Xuan Ming, who had already removed Ma Liu's mask, gritted his teeth and smashed his fist into the mast: "Why! Why is this happening! (To be continued......)
