Chapter 166: No Wind and Waves
When she opened her eyes, she still felt that her eyes were a little blurry, but when she saw the scene in front of her clearly, a subconscious panic scream was stuck in her throat.
Rao has been driving on the sea for so many days, from Surabaya to Hanshui, it has always been smooth sailing, no wind and no waves, why did there suddenly appear such a big wind and waves?!
The damp breath that was almost suffocating came to her face, and Luo Liyao could almost feel the salty sea breeze enveloping her whole body, and a wave that was three people tall engulfed her in an instant.
"Your Highness!"
Mo Yi didn't care about what kind of fire and thunder he used, and subconsciously rushed towards the place where she was, trying to pull her down.
But he had barely taken a few steps and stretched out his hand when he was shot by another feathered arrow that broke through the wind.
The sharp arrow pierced straight through his elbow until it pierced the small half of the arrow, and then stopped.
"Hmm!"
Mo Yi only snorted, hurriedly withdrew his injured arm, and covered his wounds, but his body still insisted on going in the direction where Luo Liyao was swallowed by the huge waves - even if he risked his life, he must protect His Highness!
And the archer and the feathered arrow he shot would not understand his loyalty, and in the blink of an eye, another arrow pierced through the huge waves!
Looking at the direction of this arrow, if he was still firmly close to Luo Liyao, he would definitely be shot in the head by this arrow; And if he stops there, the danger of Luo Liyao's murder will greatly increase.
Mo Yi knows these points very well, and this is already his fastest speed......
He gritted his teeth and kicked the ground violently, actually wanting to break through his limit speed by taking advantage of the bump of the boat, and continue to rush in the direction where Luo Liyao was just now!
"Oh, why are you so desperate—"
A woman's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, leisurely and lazy with some inexplicable coquettishness, which made people unconsciously feel a little crispy and numb when they listened to it.
Mo Yili ignored it, and his movements did not stop at all, without even a pause, and rushed straight into the huge waves.
"Alas...... You're really an elm head......"
The strange woman seemed to sigh, and then a crisp and melodious lute sounded—"The big strings are noisy like a torrential rain, and the little strings are like whispers." Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate. ”①
Even the waves of unknown origin seemed to be affected by the sound of the lute in Qingyue, and the sea water, which had been rushing frantically towards the boat, instantly fell straight down and merged into the sea again.
Mo Yi didn't realize it, and only looked in the direction where Luo Liyao was just now—among the receding waves, Luo Liyao bent over gradually emerged
The appearance of a cough.
"Ahem......"
was swallowed up by wave after wave, Luo Liyao's body was naturally completely wet, and it seemed that she was still choking on a lot of water.
Originally, Luo Liyao was holding her breath, extremely uncomfortable resisting the huge wave that engulfed her.
In her opinion, such a strange situation of huge waves without wind and this wave rushing towards her must have been deliberately done by someone, but unexpectedly, the salty and wet sea water that was almost about to suffocate her from lack of oxygen suddenly receded, which surprised her and choked a lot of water at the same time, which led to the scene that Mo Yi saw.
"Your Highness, you ...... Not! ”
A feather arrow entered his body, and the fierce flesh and blood tearing pain instantly swept through Mo Yi's limbs, and he only had time to let out a muffled snort, he couldn't say anything, and his body fell straight to the deck.
Luo Liyao raised her head when she heard the sound, but only saw the bloody scene of Mo Yi being hit by an arrow, and her heart was suddenly shocked, and she subconsciously blurted out: "Don't-"
"Oops—this little brother's luck is really good."
At the same time as Luo Liyao's voice, there was also the exclamation of the woman just now—but the voice did not contain much surprise under careful listening, but more of a relaxed smile.
Luo Liyao staggered forward a few steps, trying to help Mo Yi who had fallen on the deck up, but when he found that he had an arrow on his arm in addition to the arrow he had just hit, he didn't dare to touch him, for fear of touching his wound and aggravating it.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess of Tianqi...... Smart is smart, but it doesn't seem to know how to deal with the wounded. ”
It was still the woman's voice, but it was much closer than before, which caused Luo Liyao to subconsciously look back at her: the woman's figure was very tall, and her beautiful face naturally revealed a charming taste, and her body was still dressed like Luo Liyao had never seen and did not have any national characteristics - she was carrying a phoenix-necked pipa behind her back, and the clothes on her body were almost equal to nothing, revealing most of her limbs and part of her lower abdomen, which was as tender as a white lotus, and she only saw that Luo Liyao's face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look at it again.
Really, it's extremely sexy and seductive.
"Oops......" Seeing that she turned her face directly but didn't forget to block the injured Mo Yi behind her, she couldn't help laughing, "You princes and nobles, it's really boring and tightly guarded - Your Royal Highness Princess, with such a big movement, someone on the boat should be coming, right?" ”
Luo Liyao was silent, only opened her eyes and didn't look at her, blocking between her and Mo Yi.
Such a big movement, even if Zuo Ying pretended not to notice it, Ye Luoqing and Tang Haoqi should have noticed it and were rushing over here - so what Luo Liyao has to do now is to delay as much time as possible and put it in front of her
This woman who looked like a bad comer blocked it.
It's just that...... I don't know what Moyi's injuries are and whether he can survive this period of time.
"There is poison on the arrow, he can't hold it for long." The woman seemed to be a little helpless, and approached her a little more delicately, and said to her slightly, "Your Highness, why don't you get out of the way...... Let me try? ”
The beauty is like an orchid, it is a very ordinary few words, but it turns three times, which naturally reveals some tempting demagoguery, Rao is Luo Liyao, as a woman, can't help but feel a little flurry, and I want to listen to her words in my heart.
The most fatal thing is never the beauty, but the intentional temptation of the beauty.
But Luo Liyao did not obey, but looked sideways slightly, ignoring her bold and hot clothes and looking directly into her eyes - her eyes turned out to be a rare amber color, translucent yellow and bright black were intertwined, just one glance made Luo Liyao stunned for a moment, stunned for a moment before saying, "You...... Your eyes...... You are? ”
"Shhhh ”
Luo Liyao stared at her, a little unsure of what to do.
"You won't get out of the way...... He's really going to die, I'm a little reluctant to be such a loyal and lovely secret guard—" The woman smiled and walked around her lightly, "This poison, except for the person who poisoned it, only I know the solution." ”
After that, the woman didn't wait for Luo Liyao to react, she squatted down and quickly pulled out the one that had pierced Mo Yi's arm, and blood splashed on her white arms and thighs in an instant.
Luo Liyao opened her mouth, and hurriedly took out the ointment from her already soaked sleeve and handed it to her: "Stop the bleeding." ”
The woman was a little surprised by the change in her attitude, but she still took it, and together with the medicine she took out from the small bag on her waist, she applied it directly to the wound on Moyi's arm.
"The effect of the medicine of the Shenchu royal family is indeed very good, but it can't be used more." The woman reached out and pulled out another feather arrow that pierced Mo Yi's shoulder, and the moment the blood splattered out, it was pressed back a little by the hemostatic medicine, "I can't stay here either, someone asked me to bring a message to His Highness - you remember to be careful......"
"Your Highness—"
"Your Highness——!!"
Before the woman's words were finished, she was startled by Tang Haoqi's shout in the distance, and only said "There will be a period later" and left the two medicines for Mo Yi, instantly turned around and ran to the side of the boat, and jumped directly before Tang Haoqi and the others saw her, completely disappearing from Luo Liyao's sight.
If it weren't for her, she would have left behind for the ink
The antidote, Luo Liyao almost thought that this person had never appeared at all - he jumped directly into the sea and disappeared in an instant, which was simply amazing.
"Your Highness—"
Tang Haoqi rushed to them with a few attendants behind him, and saw that Luo Liyao had been staring at the side of the boat in a daze, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask immediately, but only stepped forward to check Moyi's situation: "I have already taken medicine to temporarily stop the bleeding, you can move him back and take good care of him." ”
The attendants behind him took the order, carefully carrying Moyi back to his ship.
And Tang Haoqi consciously took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Luo Liyao: "Your Highness, don't think about it, go back and change your soaked clothes first." ”
Luo Liyao took his cloak and draped it on his body, but his eyes still stayed on the place where the woman disappeared just now, and muttered, "Do you think that there are really people who can come and go freely in the sea?" ”
"It's difficult-" Tang Haoqi saw that she was a little uneasy, so he was also very uneasy, so he directly supported her through the cloak and walked to the cabin with her, "First of all, you have to be able to swim in the water (2), and your physical strength and endurance have to be different from ordinary people to be possible." I've seen the map, and the sea is so big, and there are no islands around...... If anyone can come and go here, it's not a youkai. ”
Luo Liyao: "......"
"Really, unless there is some special means." Tang Haoqi saw her speechless appearance, and knew that she didn't believe her words, so he hurriedly explained, "For example, you can manipulate foreign objects such as water and fish for your own use, or ......."
"Or?"
"Or maybe that person was a monster!"
“...... You better stop talking. ”
“...... Your Highness! What's the matter with your indescribable look of disgust! The more you learn, the more bad it is, you have to learn this! Ahhh ”
Although Luo Liyao's body is no longer as delicate as before, it is still frightened, and Mo Yi, who has been out of danger of his life, has been in a coma and has never woken up.
There was nothing to do, Luo Liyao didn't bother to move, just shrunk in her cabin, thinking about the strange events one after another today-first the feather arrow that I didn't know where it came from outside the boat and was obviously a bad person, and then the strange woman who didn't know her identity but had no hostility towards them.
People with amber pupils should have been extinct decades ago, so why did they suddenly appear here? What's more, the woman kept saying that she was entrusted by someone to come and give her a message? And...... Luo Liyao couldn't help but have a little headache, and said in her heart that this person was really strange, as soon as she heard that someone was coming, she disappeared directly without even finishing her words.
Her unfinished words simply whetted Luo Liyao's appetite, but it made her puzzled
- If she was asked to be careful of Zuo Ying, it would be completely superfluous, so it couldn't be him.
So by analogy, on this boat, in addition to Zuo Ying, is there any factor that will be unfavorable to her?!
