Chapter 69: Out to Sea
"General, this is it. In the next room were two girls, and they were together. ”
The man took Tie Mu Yuan to the door of Li Xiuyan's room.
Temuyuan reached into his arms, took out a few taels of silver, and rewarded them to the young man. It's not that he picks the door, it's because the other party is only worth so much.
The young man took the bounty money, thanked him and left.
Temu Yuan straightened the armor on his body and reached out to knock on the door, but he knocked more than a dozen times in a row, but he didn't get any response.
I went to the next door and knocked again, but no one answered.
Temuyuan suddenly realized something, kicked the door open with a slam kick, and sure enough, the room was empty, reached out and touched the teapot on the table, it was still warm, and immediately turned around and went downstairs.
The two people who were guarding outside the inn before saw Tie Muyuan coming down, and immediately greeted them, but they were slapped by Tie Muyuan alone, "What about people, haven't you been staying here all the time?"
The two of them were beaten and looked confused, and hurriedly explained, "We have been staying here according to your orders, and we have not left an inch!"
Tie Muyuan frowned, turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have a back door?"
The four Li Xiuyan, who had left the inn, had already come to the vicinity of the port in the southwest of Jiangbo City.
There are more than a thousand large and small ships parked here, like a huge mound, but when you look up, there is not even a shadow of half a boat on the sea.
"It's heavily guarded. Kou Ning looked around and said.
Throughout the harbor, there are many towers, each with a bronze bell, a huge bronze mirror, and a soldier in red armor.
Li Xiuyan roughly counted it, and there were almost thirty of them in this vicinity alone.
The soldiers on these towers are all doing the same thing, observing the sea.
"No matter how tightly guarded you are, there are loopholes. Li Xiuyan said casually, and beckoned Kou Ning and Li Shuyao to continue walking.
The purpose of their coming here was to find a boat that could go to sea, and to arrive at the Holy Domain before the Holy Soul Academy sent someone to pick them up, so that they would not have to worry about being worried about the prince of the Chiyang Empire.
But after a big circle around, Li Xiuyan didn't see a single boatman, and he couldn't go to sea even if he thought about it, and the boatmen all went to find other livelihoods, so they couldn't rely here, otherwise they would have to starve to death.
"Do you know where the Holy Domain is?" Shen Xuanbing, who was lying on Li Xiuyan's back, suddenly spoke.
Shen Xuanbing can barely walk with the help of crutches, but her injuries have not healed and she can't walk far, so Li Xiuyan simply didn't let her go, so as not to get tired, and carried her directly, anyway, she is not heavy, with Li Xiuyan's physical condition, even if she carries her for three days and three nights, she will not feel tired.
"I don't know the direction of the Lower Heaven Realm......
Shen Xuanbing sneered: "It seems that you know the directions of the Middle Heaven Realm and the Upper Heaven Realm." ”
"Of course I ......" Li Xiuyan wanted to say, of course I knew, but in that case, it would definitely arouse Shen Xuanbing's suspicions, paused, and said, "Of course I don't know......"
"Hey, I thought you would say you knew. ”
Li Xiuyan smiled and stopped continuing the topic.
"Come here!" Kou Ning waved his hand and shouted at Li Xiuyan and Shen Xuanbing. He found a ship that seemed to be suitable for a long voyage, but he was stuck in the middle of other ships, and if he wanted to get it out to sea, he had to get at least thirty ships out of the way.
"The boat is good, remember the location, let's find a place to rest first and come back later. ”
Li Xiuyan had a way to get the boat out without much effort, and in order to avoid being discovered by others, he wanted to wait until it was dark before setting off.
Fearing that they would be discovered by the prince's people, Li Xiuyan and the four of them did not leave the dock, and basically no one here would come except for those soldiers who were observing the sea from the tower. The soldiers' attention was all focused on the sea, and naturally they didn't bother to pay attention to the people or things on the shore.
"Brother Yan, there's something I want to ask you, do you know how to sail?"
Kou Ning grew up with Li Xiuyan since he was a child, and the two have been living inland, this time he came to Jiangbo, and it was the first time he saw the sea, but Li Xiuyan said that he would sail out to sea to find the holy land, Kou Ning was really afraid of being abducted by him, especially at sea, he could encounter a shark attack at any time......
"Shall I sail a boat?
In the face of Kou Ning's questioning, Li Xiuyan almost shook out the things of his previous life again, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to stop talking in time, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and rest, and set off after dark." ”
Kou Ning rolled his eyes, turned his head and asked Li Shuyao, "Yaoyao, do you believe him?"
Li Shuyao nodded playfully, "He's my brother, of course I believe him." ”
Kou Ning was bored with himself, and asked Shen Xuanbing again, "What about you?"
Shen Xuanbing replied to him very simply, "I believe it." ”
Kou Ning didn't want to be the unsociable person, and sighed, "Okay, then I believe he's okay too......"
As the sun sets, the sky gets darker.
The soldiers who were on top of the tower and monitoring the sea level had also changed to a new batch, and at the same time, the tower was also lit up with firelight, and the fire light was reflected on the sea surface with the help of a huge bronze mirror, forming a circular circle of light. By moving the bronze mirror, the soldier can change the position of the aperture, so that he can see if there are sharks on the dark sea.
"Damn, do they still have this hand?" Looking at the aperture moving back and forth on the sea level, Li Xiuyan couldn't help but praise it, I don't know who came up with this method, it's really talented.
"What now?" asked Korning.
"No matter, just follow it. Li Xiuyan picked up Shen Xuanbing on his back and beckoned Kou Ning and Li Shuyao to set off.
I thought that I would be able to avoid being discovered by those soldiers by taking advantage of the darkness, but now it seems that the difference from the day is not very big.
But fortunately, Li Xiuyan said that it was not these soldiers that they needed to guard against.
The soldier's task is to monitor the sea surface to see if there are any sharks, and as for whether there are fishing boats that leave their posts without knowing whether they are alive or dead, it is estimated that even if they see it, they will treat it as if they did not see it.
According to the previous markings, Li Xiuyan and the four of them soon came to the place where they found the ship during the day.
"Wait here for me. Li Xiuyan handed Shen Xuanbing over to Li Shuyao and Kou Ning, and stepped on the "corpse" of the fishing boat alone, all the way to the boat suitable for going to sea.
The ship Koning had inspected, and the keel and hull were fine, and it looked very new.
Li Xiuyan jumped onto the boat, squatted down on his knees, spread the five fingers of his left hand, and pressed it on the deck, and at the same time, with a movement of his mind, the space where the ship was located began to become distorted, but between breaths, the whole ship disappeared completely.
The corners of Li Xiuyan's lips raised slightly, rubbed the soul key ring worn on the thumb of his left hand, and said in his heart: The space of the Nine Realms is really convenient, but it can't be entered by living people, bad review!
