Chapter Ninety-Six: A Battle in the Wind and Waves
PS: On the first day of the shelves, there are three more today, thank you for your support!
The weather on the beach is unpredictable, and when you are at home in the morning, the sun is shining in the sky and the air is warm and humid, and if you close your eyes, you may even mistake it for spring. But when Zhou Zhong was tricked into Xie Lingyun's boat, a strong wind blew from the northwest in the sky, and patches of dark clouds also filled the sky, and it seemed that the sky could change at any time.
When he was first locked in the cabin, Zhou Zhong kept spinning back and forth like a trapped beast, his heart was full of anger towards Xie Lingyun, but he quickly calmed down and began to sit down and consider ways to get out. Zhou Zhong, who is a man of two lives, has a tenacious character, and as long as he does not reach the last moment, he will never give up hope.
If you want to get out of this ship, you must understand why the Xie family suddenly dealt with you? Zhou Chong couldn't figure it out at first, but when he seriously considered the process of his contact with Xie Lingyun, he immediately found the problem in a flash of inspiration.
"Sharp!" Zhou Zhong suddenly slapped himself heavily at this time, he was a human being in vain for two lives, and he forgot to ignore this most basic principle of life, since he met Xie Lingyun, especially when he arrived at Shuangyu Port with her, he showed superior talent everywhere, plus the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce used to be a big chamber of commerce on an equal footing with the Xie family, with the position of the Xie family, how could he watch himself develop?
figured out the reason why the Xie family dealt with him, but Zhou Zhong quickly despaired, now the Xie family is very jealous of his talent, so if he is the Xie family, the best way is to kill himself. And Xie Lingyun has already said it before. Koji Kamiizumi is ready to use it against them, and this is simply the best scapegoat. After killing himself and Kamizumi Hongji, he planted his own death in Shangquan Hong's second-hand. At that time, it will be useless no matter how much others doubt it.
"Bastard, can you just sit here and wait to die?" Zhou Chong sat on the chair with his ass in his back, his eyes were full of madness, if there was really only one death, then before he died, he must also be crazy, at least a few cushions.
"Huh~, no, I still have a chance to live!" In a life-or-death moment. Zhou Chong's mind flashed again, and he thought of a way to survive in death, this method requires a lot of luck, that is, before the other party disposes of himself, he must find a way to let Xie Lingyun come to see him, and then he suddenly makes a move, controls the other party at once, and takes her as a hostage, and then he will have the possibility of escaping.
Come to think of it. Zhou Zhong stood up suddenly, walked around the cabin a few times with excitement, and then opened the hatch again, but it was still the two strong men blocking the door. It's just that at this time, Zhou Zhong pretended to be angry and said: "You go and tell your young lady, just say that I have something important to see her, if she doesn't come." I won't be willing to die! ”
Hearing Zhou Chong's request to see Miss, the two guards looked at each other. Then one of them said, "We'll pass on Childe's request to Miss, but Miss is busy right now." I wonder if I have time to meet you! ”
"Well, I'm sure she'll come to see me because she owes me an explanation!" After Zhou Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and entered the cabin again, and then lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, he had to adjust his physical state to the best, so that he could have a greater chance of controlling Xie Lingyun in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, a guard in front of Zhou Chong's door found Xie Lingyun on the deck and was repeating Zhou Chong's words to her, and when Xie Lingyun heard Zhou Chong's full stop, 'I will not be willing to die', his face also showed a somewhat complicated look, turned his head to look at the fleet of Shangquan Hongji that could already be seen in the distance, and after a while, he instructed the guard: "You go and tell Zhou Gongzi, just say that I have something to do now, and I will naturally go to see him when I am done." ”
However, as soon as Xie Lingyun's words fell, he immediately thought of something, and then ordered softly: "In addition, Zhou Gongzi shouldn't have eaten lunch yet, you go and prepare some food and send it to his cabin!" ”
The guard was stunned when he heard the order behind his young lady, and looked up at the enemy who could catch up at any time on the sea in the distance, and really couldn't figure out how at such a critical moment, why would the young lady still consider the question of whether Zhou Zhong ate or not? However, although the guard was strange in his heart, he did not dare to question it, and immediately agreed and turned away.
After ordering the guards, Xie Lingyun's eyes turned to the direction of the house arrest Zhou Chong's cabin for a while, and then he sighed lightly and turned around, looking up at the dark clouds blowing from the northwest, as well as the half-human-high waves above the sea, which made Xie Lingyun's long eyebrows frown slightly, winter was originally a relatively calm season for the sea, but looking at the current weather, it seems that there is going to be a strong wind blowing, which will definitely bring some unpredictable variables to this operation.
As Xie Lingyun and their ship left Qingcun Port for longer and longer, Shangquan Hongji, who was following them behind, became more and more bold, and he had already heard that today was the day when Xie Lingyun and Zhou Zhong went to inspect a small island overseas, and the two of them did get on the boat one after another, which also made Shangquan Hongji more relieved, and even wanted to catch up with the ship in front of him immediately, so that he would be ashamed of his previous shame.
It was precisely because of this that Koji Kamiizumi kept urging the ships to speed up, but he didn't notice that on both sides of their fleet and behind them, several large ships faintly appeared, encircling their fleet in a kind of encirclement. It's a pity that the people on Shangquan Hong'er side paid attention to Xie Lingyun's boat in front of them, and they didn't notice anything unusual around them.
For Shangquan Hongji, who was chasing behind him, Xie Lingyun instructed the boatmen on his ship to speed up a little, but it was just slower than Shangquan Hongji's fleet, which could stimulate the other party to chase desperately, and when the dark clouds in the northwest covered the entire sky and the wind and waves on the sea became extremely large, Shangquan Hongji's fleet had already chased Xie Lingyun less than a mile behind their ship.
The distance between the two parties was so close that even Xie Lingyun, who was standing at the bow of the boat, had already seen Hongji Shangquan holding a sword on the other party's boat. However, Xie Lingyun was not afraid at all, because at this moment, the fleet she had ambushed in advance also formed an encirclement from all sides, and Shangquan Hongji's fleet was already a turtle in an urn for her, and there was no possibility of escaping at all.
In fact, Koji Kamizumi on the ship had already discovered that something was wrong, but it was already too late at this time, and the boats that suddenly appeared around had already blocked their escape path, plus the strong wind was blowing from behind them, and the wind and waves had become so strong that if they turned at this time, it would be too late.
Seeing that he had fallen into a trap and missed the best opportunity to escape, Hongji Shangquan was also furious, angry that he hacked to death the widow who was in charge of the lookout guard on the ship, and then desperately accelerated the boat, striving to catch up with Xie Lingyun's ship before the other party closed up. His idea was actually the same as Zhou Chong's, that is, he wanted to catch Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun in this situation, in exchange for a way to live.
It's a pity that Xie Lingyun is as shrewd, how could he give Shangquan Hongji this opportunity, I saw that the lookout on her ship quickly waved the flag to the surrounding ships, and at the same time, the boatmen also adjusted the sails to increase the speed of the ship to the maximum, no matter how Shangquan Hongji chased, it was impossible to catch up with this special sea ship.
"Boom~" was the first to collide with Koji Izumi, a fleet rushed from the west, this flotilla was dominated by two fortune ships of about ten zhang, driven by the storm at sea, and hit Koji Kamizumi's ship at a very fast speed, and as a result, the starboard side of the ship suddenly knocked out of a big hole, and a large stream of sea water poured into the cabin at once, and the hull slowly tilted to the right.
Shangquan Hongji brought a total of more than 160 people, divided into four large boats, and now the boat he was riding was the first to be hit hard, and the other ships just wanted to come to the rescue, but at this time, the ships chasing from other directions also collided, and in the blink of an eye, almost all four ships were hit from different directions.
In the naval battle, the impact was only the first step, as the four ships of Shangquan Hongji and more than a dozen ships of the Xie family collided together, and then countless ropes flew out of each ship of the Xie family, the steel claws at the front end were shining, and then fell on the deck of the opponent with great precision, and with the pull of the Xie family's boatmen, quite a lot of steel claws grabbed the side and mast of the opponent's ship.
With these ropes, many boatmen of the Xie family began to climb along the ropes towards the boat of Quan Honger and them, and even in some places where the two boats met, many boatmen of the Xie family had already been killed. The Japanese people brought by Koji Kamizumi were also outlaws, and naturally they refused to be captured, so they quickly stepped forward to meet the battle, and a tragic battle finally began.
"Kill~" Shangquan Hongji held a knife in his hand, and cut a Xie family boatman who rushed in front of him into two pieces with a knife, and the smelly blood sprayed all over his body, but Shangquan Hongji wiped his face indifferently, raised the knife and wanted to kill a few more people, in order to boost morale, but with a large wave on the sea that was nearly a foot high, their ships shook greatly, and most of them could not stand firmly, and they held on to the things around them, but then the two sides fought together.
Perhaps stimulated by the scene of flesh and blood flying on the ship, the sea at this time is even more violent, the waves of one person are higher than the waves, although the people fighting on the deck have long been accustomed to the turbulence of the sea, but they still stand unstable in this kind of strong wind and waves, many people who obviously have the upper hand are accidentally overturned by the wind and waves, and die tragically in the hands of the enemy, which also makes the ship's broadside battle appear more tragic, and the blood flows into the sea along the hull, attracting many sharks to shuttle on the sea surface and devour the corpses that fell into the sea.
Xie Lingyun, who was not far away, looked at the scene of the battle in front of her, and a trace of unbearable color flashed in her eyes, and the wind and waves at this time were too big, and some of the waves had already hit the deck, making the corners of her skirt wet with seawater
Although the wind and waves are very strong now, Shangquan Hongji is also leading people to resist stubbornly, but because of the gap in numbers, Shangquan Hongji is destined to not escape from Xie Lingyun's palm, plus she thought of Zhou Chong saying that she wanted to see herself before, so she saw Xie Lingyun sigh, turned around and came to Zhou Chong's cabin door, ready to see him at the back. It's just that she didn't know that it was this meeting between the two that caused a series of things beyond her control, and at the same time changed the fate of herself and Zhou Chong.
