In the dim and gloomy cabin on the ground floor, there was an inexplicable rattling sound, and Xiao Er was carrying an oil lamp, and the dim light halo could only illuminate a radius of three meters.

Two buddies huddled around him.

The three who have always been bold can't help but be a little frightened.

The wicked people who do not enter the stream are extremely afraid of ghosts and the like, and the reason is that they do too many bad things, and they are afraid that others will come to take revenge on them.

From Shi Qing's point of view, I wish the three of them were so frightened that they turned around and ran, so that he had enough time to get out.

It's a pity that Xiao Er didn't leave, but shouted again: "What are you guys doing? ”

At the end of his sentence, he walked to the nearest cell and kicked it, his eyes scanning the "goods" inside with a fierce look. ”

No one answered, and under the light, the dead faces stared at Xiao Er with a dead man's eyes.

Hiss, Xiao Er gasped, his brain turned, and he shouted in a low voice: "Quick, go see that Taoist master." ”

To be able to make a group of people who have become prisoners of the stairs show such a look, it must be the business trip pool where the Taoist master is imprisoned.

The three of them quickly ran to the cell where Shi Qing was, and at a glance they saw the men who were breaking the iron fence.

Xiao Er's face was as frightened as earth, and then he roared: "Stop me, do you want to die?" Yuan leprosy, hurry up and open the door. ”

The person known as Yuan Lezi was at a loss and said, "I only take the key to room six." ”

Due to Liu Feifei's rules, Yuan Lezi didn't dare to take away all the keys to the cell, which would be too conspicuous, and he could only choose a place to be imprisoned in advance by the.

Xiao Er jumped to his feet in anger and said loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and call the eldest sister to run away." ”

Halfway through, the others have already flown outside, and it won't help to stay any longer, so it's better to run away quickly.

It's okay to play yin with the Taoist master, but the front is hard, and the brothers will lie down in their sixty-five mouths.

The three of them ran all the way to the deck, and the celebration banquet was starting to be celebrated on it, and someone said with a smile: "Xiao Er, look at your anxious appearance, your butt has been bitten by a poisonous snake again?" ”

"Get out," Xiao Er didn't have time to joke with him, pushed people away, strode in front of Liu Feifei, and said eagerly: "Eldest sister, it's not good, that Taoist master named Shi Qing is about to get out of trouble, let's run away quickly." ”

As soon as these words came out, the celebratory atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing, and some people were so frightened that even their wine glasses fell to the ground, and they didn't even realize it.

No one would think that Xiao Er would tell such a joke.

Liu Feifei was the only one whose face remained unchanged, her brain quickly turned, and then she said coldly: "We can't escape, there is only one way to survive, return to the bottom of the cabin and take hostages." ”

This seemingly bold battle actually has a certain basis. First of all, the other party is not clear about the structure of this ship, and it is not clear that this ship has many secret doors.

If they return, they can avoid each other through a secret door.

Secondly, judging from Shi Qing's sentence that he doesn't think that Taoist masters are nobler than ordinary people, and his attitude towards things, he shouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't save him when he sees death.

Although Liu Feifei herself is quite disgusted with that kind of hypocrisy, in this case, she can only hope that that hypocrisy can be hypocritical to the end.

At the same time, in the lowest cell, with the rattling sound falling, the iron fence has been bent from side to side, forming a hole wide enough for people to drill through.

Six men with weak arms and too tired to sit on the ground and get up, let a young girl come over and pull out the silver needle stuck in the abdomen.

Shi Qing silently recited the strengthening spell, his arm suddenly pulled with force, and with a bang, the iron lock was pulled out of the wooden wall, and he easily got up.

The iron was almost as good as tofu dregs, and it was completely impossible to continue to bind his body.

Breaking the iron fence in front of him, he said to the crowd, "Wait, I'll deal with them first, and then I'll come back to help you." ”

He was worried that if it was too late, the people would scatter and run away, and it would be very troublesome for him to arrest them.

Leaving the bottom floor, the upper layer was where the goods were stacked, and wooden boxes were stacked one after another, and he easily poked one of them, revealing a lot of white salt inside.

The sale of illicit salt is illegal in large businessmen, and it also represents extremely high profits.

He couldn't understand, with such a highly lucrative job, why did Liu Feifei take the risk of being a slave trader who sold Taoist masters?

Unable to figure out the answer, he decided to put it aside and ran towards it with a quick pace.

All the way up, he couldn't see half a figure, and those people seemed to have all run away, which made him more and more anxious.

Rushing to the deck, the cold moonlight shone down, and the food on the tables emitted heat, indicating that there were people staying here for a banquet not long ago.

He bent his feet, leaped again, jumped onto a mast, and looked around at the night when the Emerald River reflected the stars in the sky, and the purring of birds drifted in the wind from the trees on both sides.

There was not a single figure in sight, and there was no sign of the boat escaping.

At this moment, Shi Qing realized that he had made a mistake.

The other party had no intention of escaping at all, and the woman's courage and calmness were beyond his imagination, and he was afraid that everyone in the cabin at the bottom would be taken hostage.

He thought for a moment, jumped off the mast, and instead of running into the cabin, he plunged headlong into the cold emerald waters.

A moment later, Liu Feifei walked out of the cabin with a large group of people and came to the bow deck, and the hostages she held were all children, or weak women, and half-dead old people.

Generally speaking, these three categories are easy to sympathize with, which can increase the bargaining chips of the hostage.

Stout men can't do it, not to mention that they are easy to be counter-killed when they are held hostage, and they can't stimulate people's desire to protect.

Liu Feifei's eyes looked around, but she didn't find Shi Qing's figure.

Xiao Er held a knife in one hand and grabbed the child's arm in the other, and said nervously: "Big sister, is he chasing us?" ”

"Idiot, no one has seen it, how can you chase it," Liu Feifei scolded this subordinate whose brain was stiff due to fear, and then turned to shout around: "Shi Qing, you listen to me clearly, I count three times, if you don't come out, I will cut this woman's neck!" ”

"One!"

Rumble!

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed in the night sky, and before Liu Feifei could react, the entire merchant ship seemed to be hit by an unprecedented huge wave, half of it was raised, fell to the left, and suddenly returned to mid-air and fell heavily on the river, causing another loud bang.

All the people on the boat fell because of their unstable center of gravity, the wine and food spilled on the ground, and the tables and chairs overturned.

Liu Feifei was stunned by the fall, and she couldn't react for a while.

When there was a sharp pain in her head, she came to her senses and reached for the fallen knife as soon as possible.

There was a soft click, and the watery foot stepped on the blade, and looking along the foot, you could see a sturdy man's body, and finally the delicate face.

"Whoever moves will die." He said lightly.
