Chapter 117: The Straw Boat Borrowed Arrows
"I have an idea...... "The dog-headed military master Lin Xian said with a sinister look. But I don't even have a feather fan in my hand, so it's a bit of a loss......
Everyone looked at Lin Xian's weird expression, and they all felt that the hairs on their backs stood on end, as if a yin wind was blowing! But he leaned in and whispered, "We're going to do this first...... And then ......"
Listening to Lin Xian's idea, everyone nodded again and again, and they all thought that this plan was brilliant! Only Paris looked worried, and secretly thought: "At first, I thought that this kid had a defective IQ and was a second fool!" I didn't expect it to be a bad stomach! What if one day, he suddenly remembered the two hundred gold coins? ”
Not to mention Paris's suspicions, after listening to Lin Xian's plan, everyone went to prepare......
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, everything was ready, and the passenger ship pulled up the iron anchor and slowly sailed away from Farah City!
On this voyage, the ship finally officially entered the Grand Canal of Fana. Different from the departure from the city of Widton, the traces of man-made construction on both sides of the strait are very obvious!
According to the captain at the helm, although the Grand Canal borrows many inherent channels, the artificially excavated or widened channels are also three or four hundred kilometers long! It is a huge project that took the whole country to complete with the help of the whole country!
The Grand Canal flows through the Midwest of the Kingdom of Navi, traversing mountains, hills, and plains! There are also numerous rural towns, aristocratic holiday estates, and spectacular temple buildings.
Along the Grand Canal of Fana, where passenger boats anchor at any point, one can discover unique landscapes and taste different cultures and localities.
The picturesque scenery is mesmerizing, but the ship's guards and adventurers all look a little nervous! Because they didn't know the exact location of the attackers, as soon as the passenger ship left the Farah City dock, everyone's heartstrings involuntarily began to tense! Only Lin Xian seemed a little heartless, chatting with the captain on the deck, leisurely enjoying the sunset on the canal!
The nervous mood was detrimental to the body, but the attackers did not understand the thoughts of the guards, and the enemy did not appear until nightfall!
But Lin Xian thinks that this place is still too close to Farah City, and the possibility of being attacked is not great! The most likely place to attack is before reaching Moussetown. But it is already out of the Northwest Province, and the fastest speed of the ship will be there the morning after tomorrow!
So Lin Xian stood on the deck relaxedly, wanting to experience the wonderful feeling of "the unity of heaven and man" again! It's a pity that I didn't get into the state until the sky was about to dawn, and then I knew that entering the realm of "the unity of heaven and man" was not as simple as I thought.
On the contrary, the guards on duty at night admired him. "Look at the adventurer! People are temporary workers hired for money, and they are so responsible for their work! You've been a veteran for more than 10 years, and you're still lazy to sleep on the night shift......," one of the guards who came to change the guard shouted to his lazy teammates.
Get! If Lin Xian tries a few more nights, it is estimated that he will be able to win the best employee award......
As the day passed, the water surface of the Grand Canal gradually changed from calm to turbulent, and passenger boats moved faster and faster......
Lin Xian gave little Saubers lessons step by step all day long, and rubbed food by the way; Or chat with Paris and find out what the Navi Kingdom is all about. There is no sense of urgency that the big war is coming, but the guards and adventurers seem to be a little noisy!
Night fell again, Lin Xian stood on the deck and let the oncoming wind blow on his face, although his face was silent, he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart! At the current rate, the passenger ship will enter Mousse before dawn, and there is a good chance that the attackers will be in action tonight!
"Hey! Are you sure the attackers will act tonight? It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement at all? Hidden in the shadows, Paris asked, a little impatient.
"I'm not an attacker, how can I be sure when they're going to act? I just feel like they're the most likely to do it tonight! Lin Xian said with an indifferent face.
"You said it easy, just because of one of your feelings, all the people on board are not at peace! If nothing happens tonight, I'll see how you explain it! ”
Lin Xian also felt a little bored waiting stupidly, so he chatted with Paris. "In that case, why don't we make a bet? If the attack does happen tonight, you're going to lose to me......"
"I knew that...... Hum! Don't think I don't know what you're up to! Can't you just try to cheat those 200 gold coins back? I'm telling you, no way! Before Lin Xian could say the terms of the bet, he was interrupted by Paris emotionally, and said a lot!
Lin Xian looked at the excited Paris in a daze, what is the situation? When am I going to scam you out of money? What the hell is 200 gold coins......
"Boom!" A loud explosion suddenly came from the bilge of the passenger ship, shattering the quiet night! Soon there was billowing smoke billowing out of the cabin on the ground floor, accompanied by a looming fire!
The whole passenger ship seemed to be boiling, and everyone was running wild on the deck, like a swarm of headless flies! Only the captain at the helm still held his post, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands!
"Whoosh...... sharp arrows in the sky are like a sudden shower, splashing on the passenger ship that is gradually shrouded in smoke! The figures running around on the deck were immediately shot down in a large area, and they looked extremely miserable!
"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow with the sound of breaking the wind shot at the captain! But at this time, Lin Xian's chaotic figure happened to jump to the middle, and was shot by this sharp arrow and fell to the deck! The captain couldn't hold on any longer, let go of the rudder and quickly fled! Fortunately, he still remembered to put down the iron anchor in the end, otherwise with the current flow of the river, it would not take a moment and a half to destroy the boat!
This rain of arrows came from a cargo ship a hundred meters behind, this cargo ship looked extremely ordinary, like countless cargo ships traveling on this river, who knew that it brought a deadly attack!
On the deck of the cargo ship stood a big man in full-body armor, burly and majestic, but the face armor pulled down from the helmet covered his face, and he couldn't see what he looked like! The armored man's right hand was raised slightly, and the dozens of archers on the ship immediately stopped shooting, and the water surface returned to calm for a while, leaving only wisps of black smoke on the passenger ship opposite!
At this time, the passenger ship looked miserable, except for the gradually extinguishing fire and wisps of black smoke, there was not a single figure on the deck, it was fixed in the middle of the river by an iron anchor, and there was no sound with the slow ups and downs of the waves!
"It looks like the ship has watertight compartments, and a single explosion can't sink it. Why don't I use my magic to sink it directly, and let everyone above die in the belly of the fish! A magician in a black robe said. Judging by his age, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he does not hesitate when it comes to wrecking ships and killing people!
The armored man shook his head and rejected the offer, and a deep voice sounded behind the armor: "No! We're pretending to be water bandits, using magic to reveal flaws, and there's no way to be sure that the target is on the ship! Now bring the ship over and kill all the people on board! ”
With the order of the armored man, the cargo ship sailed to the passenger ship that was quietly parked on the water, and slowly approached its side!
The distance between the two ships is only three or five meters now, and with the help of the stars in the sky, you can finally see the situation on the deck faintly!
The armored man looked at the other party's ship, and his heart was suddenly shocked! The figures on the deck of the passenger ship that were shot by the rain of arrows turned out to be made of wooden planks!
"Hahaha...... I finally waited for you to come, and it was not in vain that I played this good show of borrowing arrows from a grass boat! With a smug laugh, Lin Xian Shi Ran walked out of the shadows, holding a spear in his right hand, and really gently shaking a white feather fan in his left hand!
This is definitely too deep into the play......
