122. A sailing ship with an unknown flag
The two of them stood quietly on the deck, looking at each other, except for the occasional chirping of seagulls in the sky, there was silence around them, and there was no sound.
The performance of the two is surprisingly similar at this time, if you want to find a difference, you can only distinguish it from the expression, Lu Haoyue is smiling look, while Lin Jue showed an uncomfortable expression, looking like that, it was like eating a seafood meal with joy, and halfway through the meal, a cockroach was found on the plate.
Lin Jue's body trembled slightly, as if he was startled by this unexpected meeting, it seemed that it took a long time for him to react, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back, until he stopped on the side of the boat.
"Impossible!Why are you here?" Lin Jue asked with a frightened expression on his face.
Lu Haoyue covered her mouth and chuckled, "What's the matter?
"Do you think I'm drunk and want to run away?"
"But you didn't expect that, did you? I was pretending to be drunk, and I knew you were going to escape, so I took advantage of the time you were back at the inn to visit your ships. ”
"Alas, but I didn't expect that before I could get off the ship, you set sail, so I could only follow him to Phoenix City as a guest. I don't think Your Excellency the Governor won't diswelcome me, will you?"
Lin Jue's expression was very ugly at the moment, and he said: "Since Lord Lu is just here to visit, I have seen it, delaying Lord Lu's disembarkation time and delaying your official business, I am very sorry, I will send you away when you go to the next port." ”
Lu Haoyue shrugged her shoulders, suddenly took a few steps forward, and the whole person almost stuck to Lin Jue's body, leaned into his ear, and said, "Since I have already boarded the thief ship, I can't leave, I am all your people, do you still want to drive me away?"
Lin Jue was taken aback by this scene, and his whole body leaned back as hard as he could, and he could even feel the warm breath coming from his ears.
Lin Jue leaned on the railing with both hands, trying to support his body, trying to lean back while trying to keep himself from falling into the water because of the angle of elevation too far back.
"Master Lu, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, we can say anything well, you get up first. ”
Lu Haoyue asked with a smile: "What do we two have to say? Your Excellency the Governor just got me a job, and it was only a few minutes before you repented. ”
Lin Jue secretly rolled his eyes: "You are eating the Yan Empire's court, how can I have the ability to make you lose your job." ”
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it.
"Okay, okay, the Governor's Mansion welcomes Lord Lu to join at any time, okay?"
"That's pretty much it. ”
Lu Haoyue took a few steps back like a nobody, making way for Lin Jue to move, as if the scene just now had nothing to do with her.
Lin Jue rubbed his sore shoulders and said suspiciously: "My aunt, what do you want?" I don't believe that you just want to come and work for me, if you still want us to participate in the matter of the Sea of Mist, then please go back." ”
"Don't worry. Lu Haoyue said: "I won't force you in this matter, didn't I say it? It's very simple, take me away, I want to follow you." ”
Hearing this, Lin Jue only felt a headache, this enigmatic woman seemed to be like a black hole, from her body, it was impossible to find even a little useful information, let her follow her? Just kidding, this is equivalent to directly opening his arms, openly welcoming a senior spy to probe his news, not letting her follow him? This is even more impossible, at least this Lin Jue has no way to resist, he is completely helpless against this woman.
"Or, ask the witch-sama if there is any magic that can control people's minds, just control it for a while, and just trick her out of the ship and everything will be fine. ”
After making up his mind, Lin Jue decided to implement it immediately and immediately went to Agnes to ask.
Lin Jue said: "Okay, okay, you can say anything, Master Lu, you continue, I'll go back and rest." ”
As soon as the words fell, regardless of Lu Haoyue's reaction, he turned around and left directly, and went straight to the captain's room.
Just a few steps away, there was a rapid bell sound over the deck, hearing this sound, Lin Jue couldn't help but stop, he raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Not only Lin Jue, but the remaining sailors on the deck raised their heads one after another, casting all kinds of glances in the direction from which the voice came.
At the top of the midmast, on the lookout, a sailor kept shaking the rope in his hand, and with this shaking, the crisp sound of the bell kept passing around.
At this moment, Gloria walked out of the captain's chamber wearing a tricorne hat.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
She placed her palms in front of her forehead, blocking the glare of the sun, and looked at the sailors on the lookout. The sailor was still ringing the bell, and it was a long moment before he stopped, and he held on to the fence of the lookout and shouted loudly to the deck.
"Directly in the direction of port side, there is a ship with an unknown flag!"
Hearing this, Gloria trotted to the aft deck and took a closer look at the sea ahead.
Sure enough, there was a dark shadow in front of him, which seemed to be in the shape of a sailboat. She pulled out her binoculars and looked out into the sea ahead of the ship.
It didn't take long for the telescope to be lowered.
Lin Jue came to her side and wondered, "What's wrong?"
Gloria handed him the binoculars and said, "See for yourself." ”
Lin Jue opened his binoculars suspiciously, looking at the sea in front of him, sure enough, there was a ship, but when he looked at the ship carefully, he was stunned.
Indeed, the ship did not fly the flag, it was impossible to distinguish the identity of the other party, and the ship was also in tatters, if you understood according to the common sense in Lin Jue's mind, the first thing that came to mind was that this was a pirate ship, but it was impossible to be sure, and it was impossible to draw conclusions.
However, the ship was very strange, not to mention the flag, not even the sails, to be precise, not even the mast, it seemed to have been cut off, unable to move forward with the help of the wind, and was drifting aimlessly on the sea.
"Where did this ship come from?"
Moreover, Lin Jue found that the deck of the ship was empty, and there was no one, only a scene of chaos. Due to the obstruction of the ship's side, Lin Jue couldn't see clearly. The deck appears to be littered with pieces of wood, perhaps from broken crates and hulls.
