Chapter 130: Confrontation
Zhu Zhitong touched the side of the stairs and continued to climb up, and found that it was indeed leading to the deck, and her heart was full of joy, and when she was about to reach the light, she jumped lightly and landed on the deck quietly.
That's when she realized that the shape of the ship was so strange. Not only was the bow pointed, the hull was long and narrow, but it was also twisted into a serpentine shape, and when you looked back from the bow, you couldn't even see the stern.
Zhu Zhitong couldn't help but be secretly happy when she saw that the moon in the sky was completely invisible by the thick clouds. Today, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good time to escape. She crept to the side of the ship and looked down, the sea was so dark that she couldn't see anything.
Where will there be boats? Most of the larger ships of the Bihai Kingdom have spare boats hanging on the side of the ship, and I don't know what the ships of the Luxia Kingdom are like.
Zhu Zhitong slipped to the other side of the boat and found that there were two ropes on the handrail, and when she looked along the ropes, there was really a willow leaf boat hanging there.
That's a real thing!
As soon as Zhu Zhitong saw the shape of the boat, she knew that although the boat could not withstand the strong wind and waves, it sailed extremely fast, and rowing the oars was the most labor-saving. According to what Qiu Yue said, if she is still in the southern waters of the blue sea, it is estimated that she will be able to row back to Nanhua Island in less than an hour at most!
Zhu Zhitong fumbled with the rope and began to look for the place to tie the knot, and after feeling for a long time, she found that the rope was hung directly on the side of the boat through the buckle, and there was no knot to be found.
Just cut the rope!
She pulled out a dart and began to cut the rope with a sharp point.
But the rope was made of something, and not only did it not break, but it immediately made a very piercing sound, like the neighing of some kind of animal before it was slaughtered.
Zhu Zhitong was startled and hurriedly stopped. At this time, a coquettish voice suddenly came from high in the sky:
"What people!"
Zhu Zhitong just wanted to find a place to hide, but he heard the wind coming to his face and knew that there was a hidden weapon coming. Yinhua had taught her the kung fu of hidden weapons, and she knew that it was coming when she heard the wind, so she hurriedly lowered her body, only to hear two swishing sounds above her head, and two three-edged darts had hit the deck behind her.
Only then did Zhu Zhitong see clearly that there was a figure standing on the high mast, and the figure jumped down and came straight towards him.
Zhu Zhitong saw that she was exposed, and thought that if she alarmed the people in the boat, she was afraid that it would be more difficult to escape, so she hurriedly hit two darts.
The man was in the air, and he couldn't avoid it, but he didn't panic, and he actually hit two three-edged darts with his hand, and Zhu Zhitong's two darts were missed, which was fast and accurate.
Although it was only for a moment, Zhu Zhitong had already caught the gap, picked up the machete hanging on the weapon rack on the side, and aimed it at the rope that tied the boat.
The knife was wide and thin, very sharp, and this time the rope did not make the slightest sound, and was directly cut in two.
Zhu Zhitong was just about to cut another rope, but the man had already fallen to the ground and rushed straight over.
Zhu Zhitong turned his heart sideways, exerted all his strength, and threw the machete in his hand as a hidden weapon towards the rope, but fortunately, his usual kung fu was not in vain, and he cut on the rope impartially, and it was broken.
At this moment, the willow leaf boat hanging on the side of the ship fell into the sea with a clatter.
Zhu Zhitong didn't dare to fight, just wanted to get out. She hurriedly shot all the remaining three darts at hand, and hit the upper, middle and lower three lanes, trying to block the opponent's pursuit. With his left hand, he took out the silver bell rope and threw it at the bow of the willow boat.
As soon as the man saw Zhu Zhitong take out the silver bell rope, he sighed, and saw that the three darts were about to fly in front of him, so he took a step back and took out a thing in his arms, which was actually a silver bell rope!
The man first turned around and dragged the silver bell at one end of the silver bell cable from top to bottom, only to hear the three crisp impacts of "Ding Ding Ding", and the silver bell at the end of the rope had knocked three darts to the ground. The man's wrist flicked, and the silver bell changed direction with the momentum of the impact, and flew straight towards the middle section of Zhu Zhitong's silver bell rope, and the two ropes were suddenly entangled.
Zhu Zhitong was secretly glad that his silver bell rope had been hung on the bow of the boat, and he was about to jump on the boat when he pulled it away, but the rope was entangled and dragged by the man halfway, and he was dragged to turn around before he flew into the air, and fell on the deck. The fall made her hurt from shoulder to toe, and she couldn't help but cry out.
At this time, the lights in the cabin were on, and more than a dozen people rushed to the deck.
Zhu Zhitong looked at the firelight and found that the person who had just done it with herself was also a little girl.
She endured the pain and stood up, and wanted to jump off the deck and jump onto the willow leaf boat, but as soon as she stood up, she was caught up by something behind her waist, and there was a soreness, and the faint voice of the eagle's tail came from her ears:
"Miss Liu, please don't act rashly, so as not to get hurt."
Zhu Zhitong was horrified in her heart, this vulture tail was like a ghost, and it appeared behind her unconsciously.
At this time, Qiu Yue also stepped on the deck, he glanced left and right, and saw a group of people surrounding Zhu Zhitong, there were seven or eight darts inserted on the mast on the deck, and there were two silver bell ropes lying on the ground next to Zhu Zhitong.
Qiu Yue glanced at Silver Lingsuo, frowned, and asked:
"Aten, one of these two silver bell ropes is yours, why is the other one looking at the eyes?"
Only then did Zhu Zhitong know that the little girl who fought with her before was named Ateng.
Ah Teng pointed at Zhu Zhitong, "That one is hers, I don't know how she can have the silver bell rope of our Liuxia Kingdom!" Also, her technique of making secret weapons is also the technique of our fog hidden current. It's just that the darts she uses are not quite the same. ”
Qiu Yue's face sank, changed her previous gentle tone, and said sharply to Zhu Zhitong: "Say!" What is the relationship between you and Lin Tongsheng! Where did you get the silver bell cord? ”
Zhu Zhitong was shocked by him but confused.
"What Lin Tongsheng...... This is a silver bell rope, yes, someone else gave it to me. What are you making such a fuss about? ”
Qiu Yue beckoned, Zhu Zhitong intuitively felt that the figure in front of her shook, and the eagle tail behind him had picked up the silver bell rope on the ground at some point and stood beside Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue took the silver bell rope and looked at it carefully, stared at Zhu Zhitong up and down for a while, and said to herself:
"It seems that the person who gave you the silver bell rope is very concerned about you, afraid that you will not use it well, so he changed the length of the rope to a few points shorter, and also mixed kapok silk in the rope, which is softer and softer in his hand."
"Of course, Sister Yin also said so, her one is a little shorter than mine." Zhu Zhitong did not shy away from it.
"Sister Yin? You mean, the person who gave you this silver bell cord is a woman? Qiu Yue Qi said.
"yes."
"How old is she?"
"What's in your thirties? Probably. ”
"...... in her thirties," Qiu Yue muttered to herself, looking at Eagletail beside her, only to see that Eagletail also had a puzzled face.
"Tsukushi-sama, is it ...... Is it Lin Tongsheng's daughter? ”
"No, absolutely not! You forgot he was ......" Akizuki shook her head.
"Yes...... But if it's not his daughter, who could it be? Is it a collection of apprentices? ”
"What's more, how can he accept apprentices with such a temperament." Qiu Yue still shook her head.
Zhu Zhitong saw that they looked strange, and couldn't figure out what they were talking about, so she said:
"If you want this silver cord...... Then take it, I still have some gold here, or ...... Why don't you sell me a boat and I'll row home by myself, okay? ”
In fact, she herself knew that with such a posture, how could the other party agree to sell her boat for a little gold. It's just that she really doesn't have any capital to exchange, it's purely a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Qiu Yue suddenly laughed, laughing very clearly, as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Liu, even if your sister is on Nanhua Island not far away, why do you have to rush ashore to find her at this time? Since I said that I would escort the girl tomorrow, I will definitely do it. Why does the girl distrust me so much? ”
Zhu Zhitong was stunned, "What?" You said Liu Mingyan is on Nanhua Island? ”
Ato snorted unconvinced: "You are less pretending, if you don't know that your sister is looking for you on Nanhua Island, how can you desperately want to steal the boat and escape ashore?" ”
Liu Mingyan is on Nanhua Island!
Zhu Zhitong's mind was spinning fast, although she didn't want to stay with this group of mysterious Liuxia people for a moment, she didn't want to be arrested by Liu Mingyan like this. Once she returned to Taiye, she had no possibility of going to Su Xiaochen.
No way...... At least for now, you can't go to the island.
Zhu Zhitong looked at Qiu Yue and said hesitantly, "I...... I don't want to go to the island. ”
Qiu Yue never expected her to suddenly change her words like this.
Don't want to go to the island? The person who came to steal the boat in the middle of the night suddenly said that he didn't want to go to the island?
Eagletail sneered: "Miss Liu, your sister is looking for you hard, why don't you want to go to the island." If you didn't want to go to your sister, why did you run up to Ato and do it? ”
"I ...... I actually don't want to see Liu Mingyan, you said that you wanted to send me to the Governor's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang, so I wanted to escape halfway, how did I know that she was on Nanhua Island. If I knew that she was on the island at this time, I would definitely go to sleep tonight, and I would still toss these ...... with you" Zhu Zhitong looked aggrieved.
"Why don't you want to see Liu Mingyan? Aren't you her sister? Eagletail still didn't believe it.
"Alas...... I'm not her sister. ”
Eagletail sneered again, and took out a portrait from his sleeve: "You're not her sister?" See for yourself if the portrait posted by your sister is not you. ”
Zhu Zhitong took a look, the portrait on the portrait was vivid, and even the hairpin she usually wore was exactly the same, and she couldn't help but secretly complain. This is a painter, don't you want to paint so similarly!
Qiu Yue saw that she looked like she was bitter and couldn't say anything, nodded, and said in a loud voice: "You all go down to rest, I want to enjoy the moonlight here with Miss Liu." ”
The clouds were thick and dark, and there was a ghost moonlight.
But having said that, no one dared to refute a word. With a gesture from Eagle Tail, everyone entered the cabin in an orderly manner.
After a while, there were only two people left on the deck, Qiu Yue and Zhu Zhitong.
