Chapter 18: Leaving the ship and escaping at night

The tide rises and falls, the bright moon hangs high, the cool breeze blows, and the night is silent.

At the door of a small room in the innermost part of the cabin on the third floor, there were two middle-aged guards standing with long knives in their hands, and their expressions were full of vigilance and vigilance.

There was a sudden sound of extremely calm footsteps in the long corridor in front of them, and the sound was obviously coming towards this side, both of them were startled, and the tiredness that had just sprung up in the middle of the night instantly disappeared, and they subconsciously held the handle of the knife, and it seemed that they were ready to unsheath it at any time.

The next moment, in the dim light of the corridor, I saw a figure holding a tray in both hands, walking slowly towards this side.

There are four plates of home-cooked stir-fry on the wooden tray, the taste is fragrant, and the smell is appetizing, and there is a large pot of steamed buns made of cornmeal as the staple food next to it, although it looks simple, but in this sea in addition to fish or fish, it is already a rare authentic hometown food, after all, not everyone can be as luxurious as Jiang Dashao.

This person was none other than Gu Xuan, seeing that he was already near, he greeted with a smile: "Two adults, I'm here to bring you food." ”

The old steward from the Jiang family on the ship obviously wanted to train him as a future heir, so he always wanted him to have more contact with other subordinates of the Jiang family, so he also mentioned these loyal retainers and guards in private, so even if Gu Xuan's appearance at this moment was actually a little unreasonable, they were not vigilant, they only felt that this was specially instructed by the old butler to come over and get close, and there was no need to drive the other party away like this.

Of course, the main reason is that they are indeed hungry, after all, in the middle of the night, there is no way not to be hungry, especially the smell, the smell makes the two brothers hungry, and they can't wait to catch it and eat it in their stomachs immediately.

Gu Xuan handed over the tray in his hand quickly and smoothly, and then said helplessly: "I didn't dare to take the wine, after all, it is said that drinking is wrong, and it looks like it is about to arrive in the Eastern Continent, so it's better not to go wrong." ”

When the two of them heard this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, because if the other party really brought the wine over just now, then they had to consider the special intentions that this person might have, although it is unlikely that there will be any problems under their noses, but after all, it is better to be careful, and it will save the young master's affairs.

Looking at the side dishes in front of them, the two nodded in unison: "It should be so, it should be so." ”

Gu Xuan smiled, then stretched out his hand, took out a stack of side dishes that looked relatively poor, and at the same time didn't have much meat, as well as two steamed buns, and then explained to the two who were a little puzzled: "It was ordered by the young master, it's the last night, feed him something to eat, so that Ming'er won't be able to sell it at a good price if he starves to death." ”

When the two saw each other's meaning, they wanted to go in and contact the slave in person, and they immediately furrowed their eyebrows and hesitated.

Seeing this, Gu Xuan hurriedly explained: "I understand what the two of you are worried about, just because the young master is busy, I don't have the courage to go to the young master to get another handwritten message, not to mention that there are two of you guarding the door, what else is there to worry about, or if you two are really not at ease, just send one person with me to ask the young master." ”

When the two of them heard this, they subconsciously thought of Jiang Dashao's terrible temperament of treating human life as a mustard, and suddenly shuddered, if he really dared to bother him with these little things, then his brothers might not know what to eat, why bother, not to mention that although this kid is missing an eye, he is not a bad person, not to mention that it is approved by the old steward, just let him go in and send something, and besides, everyone is tied up, what are you afraid of.

You must go in in person, maybe because you are worried that your two brothers will eat everything secretly, but it's okay, you don't have to waste your time to feed, so what if you let this kid feed it, this is the sea, is it possible that these two people can still fly.

Thinking of this, one of them nodded and said, "Okay, I'll open the door for you." ”

After that, he turned around, took out the key to the door behind him from his arms, and opened the door in a few clicks, Gu Xuan took the opportunity to look into the house curiously, only to find that Adam was still staying in an iron cage, and his limbs were full of chains, which were connected with the locks on the ground, and he looked extremely pitiful.

As soon as the two looked at each other, they instantly staggered their eyes, pretending not to know each other at all, Gu Xuan also laughed and said, "Still a half-blood?"

The two of them didn't bother to answer this conversation, but turned their backs directly, looked at the supper placed in their hands, lowered their heads and smelled the taste deeply, and suddenly moved their index fingers, and didn't care about the rest of the matter, they quickly took a steamed bun first, broke it, and began to gnaw on the vegetables with chopsticks.

Later, Gu Xuan also put down the food with his hand, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he smiled meaningfully: "Brother Adam, I'm here." ”

An excited smile suddenly appeared on Adam's face, nodded excitedly, and shouted in a suppressed voice, "I knew you would definitely come." ”

"Of course, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold!"

As Gu Xuan spoke, he grabbed the iron bar that formed the cage with his hands, and at the same time, with a slight force with both hands, he easily pulled it away from both sides silently, revealing a large hole that could accommodate one person.

In fact, this kind of thing can be easily done by his original body, and after being continuously strengthened by the aether energy, he can easily pull open the cage and get into it from the outside.

After seeing that Gu Xuan had casually broken the chain as thick as an arm, and that look was as easy as breaking a piece of tofu, even Adam couldn't help but be surprised: "Aether energy strengthens your physical body?"

Gu Xuan was willing to tell him frankly about other issues, even his true identity, but only on this issue, Gu Xuan didn't want to talk about it, so he just said: "Some strengthening, but not much, originally my physical body is very strong, it is not difficult for me to do these things, and I believe that if you can recover, you should be able to do it." ”

Adam breathed a long sigh of relief, watched him quickly rely on brute force to help him untie the shackles, looked at the other party with a complicated expression, and said: "Indeed, I can do it, but it will never be as easy as you, Po, you are really an amazing person!"

Gu Xuan was talking to him, his ears were still listening to the movement outside, and the movements of his hands naturally did not stop.

"Perhaps, this is the real Terran. ”

After losing the heavy restraint of the chains, Adam stood up again, looked at Gu Xuan, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and said very seriously: "No, you must be the Chosen One in a Million!"

The Chosen One?

I?

The corners of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything about this statement, but just laughed at it.

At the same time, one of the two people at the door who was eating non-stop, after swallowing the steamed bun in his mouth with great difficulty, suddenly straightened up, frowned, and whispered: "No, no!"

The man next to him dipped the rich soup with steamed buns, and he was happy to eat, but after his stomach swelled, he was a little sleepy, so he just subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

The man turned his head and said with a nervous expression, "Didn't they get rescued from the same boat, how could they not know that this slave was half-blooded?"

When the person next to him heard this, he stiffened, and after slowly turning his head, he looked at the person next to him, and his eyes suddenly became clear, he was about to put down what he was doing, turned around to subdue this ill-intentioned liar and asked him clearly, Leng Buding's neck suddenly hurt, and then he felt a whirlwind of the world, and his mouth made an unconscious "hum" sound, and finally fell directly to the ground and fainted.

After Gu Xuan easily stunned the two of them with two hand knives, he couldn't help but tease at the two: "It's quite smart to be smart, but you think slowly." ”

With that, he turned his head, beckoned to the back, and asked Adam, "Can you go by yourself?"

Adam moved his wrists and ankles slightly, and said unconvincedly, "Of course, I am a warrior in the clan. ”

Gu Xuan nodded lightly and said, "That's good, you come with me." ”

It was already the second half of the night, and according to the news that Gu Xuan had heard from other places, it was only a few hours away from the port of the Eastern Continent at most.

If you stand on the deck and look to the east, you can already see the long coastline of the Eastern Continent, which is a behemoth that is far stronger than ordinary islands, this is the proof, a little calculation, you can know the approximate time.

The place they are about to go to is a treaty port built by the Jiang family for several generations, close to Adam's original tribe, not too far from the territory of the Spirit Clan, from the perspective of doing business, this is definitely a good place to be in the middle, in addition, the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce has also built ports in other places, but because each other's routes are different, so they have not met with other fleets along the way.

Gu Xuan walked in front to explore the way, but he didn't meet an outsider along the way.

At this time, there are not many people who are still awake, not only because the daily work is very grinding, but also because everyone knows that the next day will have to face more strenuous things, so it must be a good rest the night before.

Although there are people on the deck who are keeping vigil, it is not difficult to avoid them with the skills of the two of them, after all, there is now Gu Xuan, an "inner ghost", to help find a route, so after a while, the two of them have already walked to the stern, here, there are small boats, which are not big, and it is just right for the two of them to sit in.
