Chapter 22: Confidants in the Sea
Chapter 22: Confidants in the Sea
Why am I still so dizzy, this is not my dormitory. Still spinning, shaking his head vigorously. I saw that my clothes were cloth clothes, and I looked around a small room that was all wood. Am I crossing over again?
Looking out of the window next to me, I was on the boat with water, and I could see the trees on the shore in the distance, which was in Lethe. How could I be on board?
Thinking about it, I drank the wine that Kun handed me, and then I fainted. Why would he do it?
I walked out dizzily by the wall, and as soon as I reached the deck, I saw the sunset like egg yolks that were about to fall into the reeds in the distance, and there were a few unnamed white cranes in the reeds on the shore, sorting their feathers. There's a guy on the deck crouching here working on his own fishing nets, who are you?
When the man turned around, it was an ordinary woman with slightly chubby wheat-colored skin. Objectively, you're awake. The voice is a little rough,
I said, who sent me here?
She said it was a masked man, you sent it to my boat, and said you were going to Tide Bluffs. I happened to be going to Tide Bluff too, so he put you on my boat. Also paid me.
I think it's Kun who sent me here, but I can't leave Kyoto right now. I don't know what to do if Qianfeng knows that I'm gone? He must have died in a hurry. Then he turned to the boatman and asked, how long have I been here?
Objectively, you have been in a coma on my ship for three days. We've been out of Wuji Cheng for three days now.
It's been three days, oh my God, Qianfeng must have known that I'm gone, and I don't know what the Taiji Palace has become. I'll be back in a week now. Forget it, go find Chu Ming anyway.
The ship has been gone for half a month, and the weather has become hot instead of getting colder. I asked the boatman what was going on, and he said that it would naturally get hot when it was almost summer.
It wasn't until I arrived that I realized that the boatman had lied to me, so I'd send it to the east side of the city. I didn't know until I got off the boat.
I said, didn't you say to send me to the tide cliff? How did you get to the East China Sea?
The boatman said while tying the rope of the boat, what is the fun of fighting in the north, and the alias here is called Tide Cliff.
When I saw her like that, my lungs were going to explode, but there was nothing I could do with the boat.
I took the baggage that Kun had prepared for me and got off the boat. I'm going to find a reliable boat to take me back to the palace. I got off the boat and asked around the harbor if there was a boat to go to the North Cold Tide Cliff, but they all said no.
Just when I was cornered, I saw two big ships coming from the sea, and the skulls painted on the flags on them looked like pirates.
I ran as fast as I could, and the big man who got down from the boat grabbed people everywhere, and when he saw a young man or woman, he grabbed them, and tied their hands with ropes.
At this speed, and I really can't run fast. So unfortunately, I was not spared from being caught and tied my hands, tying more than one person every meter, dozens of men and women on a rope, almost a hundred, pressing one by one on the pirate ship. I was locked up in the cabin with all of them. There were no windows or lights, there were sighs, there were weeping. There are also various smells of the dampness. I don't know how long it has been. It should be dozens of days later, the longest month I've ever had.
As soon as we came out of the cabin, we were blinded by the sun. Because I stayed in a dark place for too long, I was still a little uncomfortable. I found that the sun was so warm, even if the temperature was more than 30 degrees now, I didn't feel hot under the sunset. When I got used to it, I opened my eyes and saw such a spectacular scene on the coast, the blue sky and the deep blue sea together. Between the vast sea and the sky, a floating city is bustling and noisy, shouting for fear of being overwhelmed by the vast blue world. Walk around this floating island and look at your feet, this island is made up of corals and conchs, and all kinds of sea things, and there are many wooden houses on it. Do it like a sea town. There are hundreds of 100-meter boats floating around. It's very large, and it should be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Almost all the men and women in this maritime city came out, and I looked at them as if there were no old men among them. Almost all of them were young men, dressed in coarse cloth and animal skins. They all cheered to greet a man wearing a gold coat and a red overlay with wide robes and large sleeves. An obese middle-aged woman, is that legendary. led thousands of huge ships to occupy the sea as the king, whether it was the Moon Kingdom or the Junru Kingdom, Haiyan could not be exterminated?
Haiyan is a famous pirate, and was first sent by the Junru Kingdom to send a reconnaissance team to the Flying Dragon Navy. At that time, the head of the navy was not Haiyan. At that time, the leader seemed to be called Ying Long, but because he found a lot of wealth on the sea, and the monarch of the Confucian kingdom changed again, he did not listen to the monarchy of the Confucian kingdom and was independent of the sea. Later, the monarch of the Confucian Kingdom changed again, and their group was recruited. But they will say that they are loyal to the Confucian Kingdom, and they will do maritime trade with the Moon Kingdom. So they have been independent between the two countries, and no one has touched them. Since Haiyan replaced the previous Ying Long, it has become even more lawless. The cargo ships that often harass themselves at sea returning from Ore Island, and the fishermen on the border of the East China Sea, have also become more and more inflated over the years.
We were caught and thrown into a fairly wide prison.
When I was thrown in, I saw that there were still prisoners here, and I didn't know what they had done wrong and when they were prisoners here. They were all very old, dressed in gray clothes, handcuffed and shackled, dozens of people. They all looked at us, and I found a place to sit alone.
There was a person in gray clothes, who walked over and said again. In the future, I will follow you, my name is Menglong. What's your name, little sister?
I listened to this word very kindly, but I didn't say anything and bowed my head, my name is Wen Liang. This is the first friend I've made here.
He smiled and shook his head.
Everyone in the prison was unhappy, but he leisurely went over and told some desperate people, telling pornographic jokes.
A few days later we were all called out. I saw Hai Yan, an obese middle-aged woman in golden clothes not far away, sitting on it. Dozens of us were brought to a very large water depression, two or three hundred meters in size. And then we all pushed it down.
The taste in the sea water is too uncomfortable, and I can't open my eyes in the sea water, and as soon as I open my eyes, the sea water hurts, and I am most afraid of the danger of not seeing, so I open my eyes and take a look at it. I don't know if I don't see it, but I was startled when I saw it, there seemed to be a big black shadow in the water and it was moving quickly, and my intuition told me that it must not be a good thing.
As soon as I got out of the water, I cried out that there were monsters in the water...... There was also a man who came out and screamed in terror that there was a monster in the water...... Everyone, run............
Many people heard this cry, and they hurriedly climbed to the shore in fright, but as soon as they climbed up, they were kicked down by the guards by the pool. Some climbed up, but were caught back and pushed down. I clenched my fists and watched the scene, and there was a man screaming loudly, and a man swimming to the shore like crazy, and screaming, Run, the monster has found us......
The swimmer quickly climbed ashore.
A black behemoth bulged out of the water, opening its bloody mouth and devouring the man who had struggled to climb ashore and the pirate who had not had time to react on the shore.
It was a monster I had never seen before, the size of a military truck, and for a moment the monster with a very large head and four horns came ashore and began to eat the living creatures that were scurrying around in fright.
I saw that I was taking advantage of the chaos now, so I quickly took off the hairpin on my head, opened my handcuffs and shackles, and immediately climbed ashore to help the people around me unlock the lock. Come with me, Dream Dragon grabbed my hand and led me to run in the direction behind the monster. also jokingly said, I didn't see that you still have this skill, you don't see the handsome guy taking a bath, right?
I feigned anger and looked behind me. When are you still in the mood to joke?
Menglong smiled, don't worry about pulling it out after eating.
He was about to run to the shore a little farther away, and the dream dragon shouted that a monster had come ashore as he ran...... Haiyan was eaten by a monster......
The dozen or so guards guarding the dock were suspicious, but there were screams from the direction we came. Frightened, the pirate's weapons fell.
Ignoring the soldiers, Menglong took the group and boarded the largest ship on the dock, the King of Ships.
The soldiers followed, and the ship looked two or three hundred meters long and a hundred meters wide, and the whole body was a dark wood that had been doused with tung oil, and it was still very new.
When our group went up, Menglong ordered people to go to the cabin to row the boat, and ordered people to raise the sails. Watching Menglong's orderly row, the boat sailed out, and he didn't see his usual cynicism at all.
On the island
Originally, the monster roared wildly and looked at the living creatures and ate them, Hai Yan ordered the firebow crossbowmen to shoot a bucket at the monster, but Ren Ran did not take advantage. Unexpectedly, another monster jumped up, bigger and darker than the one just now.
Haiyan saw that there was no chance of winning, so he and his men fought and retreated, and hurriedly fled to the shore and got on the boat and escaped.
Haiyan stood on the deck and watched the floating city. The ups and downs were a mess of big fish arches, and some houses were burned. The soldiers on one side said worriedly, what should we do if our family is gone, King Yan?
Haiyan said with a solemn expression. Let's go to the Moon Country. It's King Yan. Haiyan looked into the distance and said, Menglong, I'm waiting for you. The former sea hegemon now has only a hundred and ten medium-sized ships left, moving with the wind on the sea.
A few days later, the sun had just fallen into the sea at dusk, and the sea was still in the heat wave, and there were flocks of seagulls in the sky, singing like a dying elegy. I stood alone on the deck, looking worriedly into the distance.
Menglong also came out. Old woman? What do you think?
Menglong is always so unserious. Am I that old? Alas~ I don't know if Haiyan was eaten by a fish? If you get eaten by a fish, that's fine. If only she had eaten the fish. When you're full, you're definitely coming to us. Now these people on our side are still ordinary people who have escaped and have no combat experience, and then there are some soldiers from Haiyan. But the soldiers never ate with us, and rarely interacted with us. If Haiyan chases, we can only jump into the sea.
Menglong tapped me on the head with two fingers. If you are worried about it, you will really become an old woman.
I touched my head, I couldn't help but worry, Haiyan was an overlord at sea. If we do, we'll be dead.
Menglong said with a smile, come here...... Phew. Before he finished speaking, a stone fell from the sky and was smashing on Menglong's head, Menglong looked at the sky and said angrily, if you throw things around, I will throw the big monster in the sea to play with you.
I said, have you heard the story of Jingwei reclamation?
Dream Dragon, what does it have to do with seagulls?
I looked into the distance, "Legend has it that Emperor Yan's youngest daughter Jingwei was playing in the sea, but she was accidentally turned into the sea by the waves and drowned, and after her death, she turned into a seagull and would take stones from the land to the sea every day, hoping to fill the sea one day, so there is a seagull also called Jingwei." “
Thank you, Menglong, do you know a lot?
I smirked.
Fool, the sea is impossible to fill up, it's just a legend that deceives a sister-in-law like you.
