When Pan Shu asked, Yan Xiaowei was also stunned, raised her hand and scratched her head: "Yes, what method is used?" If you use a small boat, come from somewhere else, you can't get close to us without being discovered, and there are no submarines here! ”

She was originally muttering quietly, but she didn't expect to be heard by Rong Xiu, who was on the tip of her ear, and he suddenly turned his head: "Submarine? What is that? ”

Yan Xiaowei opened her mouth in panic, gestured with her hands in the air, and laughed twice: "Cough, I saw it in a miscellaneous book by chance, saying that there is something like a boat, but it is closed all around, and it can be used for reconnaissance and patrol for a long time!" ”

Rong Xiu was skeptical: "Is there really such a thing?" What is the title of the book, and how come I have never seen a book about it? ”

Yan Xiaoyan hurriedly shook her head: "I still read it when I was a child, I have long forgotten what book it is!" Besides, who knows if there is such a thing, maybe it was made up by the person who wrote the book! ”

She couldn't wait to pinch herself at the moment, so that she accidentally slipped her mouth, if Rong Xiu was more serious, she really didn't know how to deal with it!

However, when Rong Xiu heard this, he only frowned and didn't ask any more questions, but his gaze deepened unconsciously.

Pan Shu on the side listened to it and slapped his big palm: "I said brother and sister, you are really a lucky star!" What kind of 'submarine' you are talking about, maybe there really is! I guess, make the wood into a closed boat, make a bamboo pole-like vent on top of it to circulate the air, and put something heavy in the boat, so that the boat does not sink to the bottom of the sea, and does not float on the surface of the sea, but just dives into the sea! Well, when you look at it from the sea, you can hardly see anything. I see, maybe that's how the princess was kidnapped! ”

He walked over and reached out and patted Rong Xiu's shoulder: "This is just a guess of mine, if it is really feasible, I will let people study and study it in the future, it will be beneficial for us to fight naval battles or patrol the sea in the future!" ”

Rong Xiu nodded, what Pan Shu said just now, he naturally thought of it. But now the key question is, where are the princesses?

Everyone was silent for a while, and they couldn't figure it out.

Rong Xiu thought for a while, and said to Pan Shu in a deep voice: "No matter what, if something so big happens, let's order a cloud-piercing arrow to send a signal to send reinforcements!" The troops we brought to the ship on this trip are already limited, and after the fight just now, there were a lot of casualties, and these people we are now may not be enough! It has not been an hour since the princess disappeared, and it is estimated that they will not be able to run far. ”

Pan Shu heard this, but reached out and pressed his shoulder, and the usual grinning appearance suddenly converged, and the tiger's eyes looked particularly solemn.

"In my opinion, if you send reinforcements now, I'm afraid there will be trouble! You think, your father and Prime Minister Liu Cheng have always been the right-hand men of our Baili Dynasty, although they are both literate and martial, their power should not be underestimated! This time, Princess Ruixiang and Liu Gongzi disappeared at the same time, and the black-faced people kept saying that Liu Gongzi was the mastermind behind the scenes, whether it was true or not, the news would definitely bring a lot of shock to the imperial court when it reached Beijing! ”

The more he spoke, the colder Rong Xiu's face became.

Pan Shu sighed: "Brother, I'm also thinking about you!" You think, if this rumor reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor will definitely be jealous of Prime Minister Liu because of Liu Gongzi. Similarly, everyone in Beijing knows that Liu Gongzi is a loser, and he has no ambition for a day, but this time, the black-faced man insisted that Liu Gongzi did it. And you and Liu Gongzi have always been at odds, so if Prime Minister Liu is suspicious of you and thinks that you have framed his son, then it is not possible that Prime Minister Liu and your father will tear each other down because of this matter! ”

Rong Xiu lowered his hand, his eyes fell to the ground a little, as if he was distracted and didn't seem to think about anything: "There is no way to be suspicious, the top priority is to save people!" ”

Yan Xiaowei listened to it for a while, and suddenly something flashed in her mind, she looked at the two speechless men standing opposite each other, and suddenly a bell rang in her head: "According to Brother Pan, how do I think someone deliberately wants to provoke the dispute between the Rong and Liu families!" If there is chaos between the two of you, who will benefit from it? Could the person who made the profit be the conspirator of this incident? ”

Pan Shu glanced at Rong Xiu after hearing this, and took a deep breath: "There are many people who want their two families to be at odds!" The forces in the court, the forces from the outside...... Who the hell knows who's the conspirators! ”

Yan Xiaoyu rubbed her face irritably, she was originally out to play, who would have thought that something so complicated would happen! If something happens to the princess or Liu Tianze, not to mention it, I am afraid that the lives of everyone on this ship will not be saved!

Rong Xiu leaned his body against the ship, his slender arm rested on it, and his index finger tapped rhythmically. Keep sorting out the causes and consequences of this matter and various possibilities in your mind, and strive to make the most effective decision in the shortest possible time.

His fingertips slammed against the ship's wedge, and suddenly he felt a little rough and a little prickly in the wood under his fingers. His eyes unconsciously fell on the ship's wedge, and his eyes suddenly froze.

The flat and smooth shaft that had been polished by the shipbuilders had been scratched by some sharp weapon with a few deep marks, as if scratched by a kitten's paws, he looked along the shaft, there were more than a dozen such scratches!

He was so familiar with this thing, it was clearly a flying hook used to assist in climbing and boarding the ship!

He hurriedly turned around: "Send a few people to the sea and find out for me the flying hook that sank on the bottom of the sea near the hull!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few soldiers with good water skills hit their shirtless, stepped on the ship's and jumped into the sea!

About a stick of incense, a few bubbles appeared on the sea, and then a small soldier jumped out of the sea with a carp, he raised his hand to wipe the water on his face, and raised his hand: "General, the thing has been found!" ”

After speaking, he waved his arm to shake the thing in his hand, and the flying hook was firmly hooked on the ship's bridge, and then he pulled the rope on the flying hook with both arms, and the whole person quickly climbed up from the boat gang with his strength.

After him, the other creeps who went down also came back with flying hooks.

Rong Xiu and Pan Shu took the flying hook in their hands and studied it carefully under their noses. Yan Xiaowei also took a look on the side, but he was not a professional in the end, and he had no more ideas except for finding the rough workmanship outrageous.

Fortunately, Rong Xiu and Pan Shu are both experts in this type of equipment, and when they took it in their hands, they shook their heads: "It is not made by the official instrument workshop, it should be made of iron." Judging from the quality of the hook, the raw material should be near this bay, and the toughness is relatively hard. And this rope is not the red hemp usually used in our Baili national rope, but a relatively special jute! ”

Pan Shu rolled a few rolls of hemp rope in his hand and whipped it the ground like a whip: "Jute? Isn't it Phoenix Island that grows jute around here! Damn, I still wonder which group of little rabbit cubs dared to tie up the uncle, how did they forget, the widows on Phoenix Island! This group of dwarfs is simply dead, how many times we have cleaned up is not enough, it's only been a few years of hard work, and they came out to stir up trouble again! Now it all makes sense, if you want to see our civil strife, your father and Liu Cheng are not in harmony, who else is there besides this group of rabbit cubs! Hurry up and let go of the cloud arrows, this time Lao Tzu will send someone to clean up this group of people who don't know how thick the sky is! ”

Yan Xiaowei looked at the two of them with adoring eyes for the first time on the side, and she could tell who did it from just a flying hook, it was amazing!

Xu is eyes are too bright, Rong Xiu's face, which has been cold for this time, rarely showed a little smile, and he hooked his thin lips: "What?" Fascinated by Master Ben? ”

Yan Xiaoyi's face was rarely hot, but she didn't let her mouth go at all: "Hey, I'm less proud, I'm just surprised, it turns out that you occasionally have brains!" ”

Rong Xiu's handsome face suddenly turned blue, watching her grit her teeth, and her big hand suddenly pinched her face: "Young Master Ben reminds you, I don't just have brains!" You can have what you want! ”

This man! Yan Xiaoyu opened her mouth and bit his tiger mouth: "I hate it!" ”

Pan Shu laughed on the side: "Flirting and scolding is really enviable!" Before the words fell, he received a knife shot from Yan Xiaoyi, and he immediately pretended to lift the hem of his clothes and strode into the cabin: "What is the terrain of Phoenix Island?" No, I have to find a pen and ink to paint, and we have to arrange the troops according to the terrain! ”

The creep ignited the cloud-piercing arrow, and it rose into the sky with a whoosh, making a small muffled sound.

The helmsman turned the wheel, and the ship turned around in the vast sea and sailed in the direction it came.

In less than an hour, they met with two ships sent in by land for reinforcements.

At this time, the sun has been swallowed up by the sea level little by little, and the blue sea is sprinkled with golden light. However, Yan Xiaowei and the others knew that this splendor was only temporary, and it would not be long before the night would strike.

The soldiers temporarily connected the three ships, and the generals of the other two ships, a middle-aged soldier and a young captain, led several people onto the big ship. After talking to Yan Xiaoyi, I learned that the two turned out to be father and son.

When Gu Zhengrong saw Rong Xiu, he first stretched out his fist and punched him, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, General Rong!" ”

Rong Xiu patted him on the shoulder and bent his lips: "Yes, the last time we fought side by side was the Battle of Yunyang!" ”

Gu Weihai sneered on the side, and the white beard at the corner of his mouth curled: "Hmph, General Rong?" Is this a name that you can afford too? A hairy boy! It's far worse than your father! ”

He swept a pair of tiger eyes across Yan Xiaoyi's body, and his tone was yin and yang: "No wonder even the princess and Liu Xiaozi have been lost, your mind has been used on this troubled water, right?" Tsk, look at the mess you guys have made one by one, she doesn't have any injuries on her body at all, so many people are just protecting her! Otherwise, I'll say that women can't help at all, and it will add to the chaos! ”

Yan Xiaoyi's face with a polite smile was a little unbearable, this person looked respectable, how could he come up and see that he was not pleasing to the eye, and he looked down on women!

Gu Zhengrong glanced at Yan Xiaoyi, and hurriedly reached out and pulled Gu Weihai's sleeve: "Dad!" What are you talking nonsense! ”

Gu Weihai pulled his sleeve back: "I'm talking nonsense? When I can't see it, this Rong boy's eyes are glued to this stinky girl, and I guess I can't pick it off! Hmph, I haven't seen much effort for a few years, but playing with women is first-class! ”

As expected, Yan Xiaoyu and Rong Xiu both stiffened the corners of their mouths.

Pan Shu laughed: "Old man Gu, I haven't seen your old temper for a few years and you're still so unlikable!" Don't just talk about these useless things, come and discuss the matter of saving the princess together! ”
