Chapter 18: The Mole

Every night at sea is almost the same, especially on a rainy day, and when you look out the window of the cabin, it is a dark and vast scenery, and you can't tell which is the sea and which is the sky.

Only when the moon and stars are scarce can the sailors of the sea distinguish between the rough sea and the vast and boundless sky.

Because Tang Jie comprehended the technique of fighting spirit in the evening, after he sent Nia into her own room, he didn't go in to linger with her for the first time, but came to the deck alone, striking while the iron was hot, urging the fighting energy in his body again and again, looking for this feeling of strength.

A martial artist like Tang Jie has mastered a new combat skill, and it is still the fighting spirit he usually sees in novels, how can he not be tired of it and obsessed with it?

His state of madness was even deeper than learning the seamanship taught him by Captain Barr.

I don't know how long it took, until Tang Jie urged the fighting energy in his body and saw that his hands were faintly glowing with a layer of golden light, that he stopped in ecstasy and triumphantly.

"I didn't expect that I could really learn such a magical thing as Douqi......" Tang Jie smiled slightly, looking at his hands with a slight yellow halo under the night sky, "I didn't expect that the principle of Douqi is very similar to people's internal force, but the internal force comes from people's qi and blood meridians, and Douqi is extracted from this kind of qi vein, a purer and extremely explosive breath." ”

Tang Jie urged the fighting qi in his body until he felt that he was a little tired and tired, then he stopped, and the pale yellow light in his hand disappeared.

"It seems that this kind of fighting spirit is still very physically draining. Tang Jie was thoughtful.

Anyway, what he has learned in the past few days is something he has not learned in the past 20 years, Tang Jie has been studying for more than ten years, but there is not a single day that is so excited and eager to learn as these days.

Seeing that the moon was already hanging diagonally in the sky, and it was already the last dark hour before dawn, Tang Jie stretched his waist and finally prepared to return to his sailor's room and fall asleep.

His position on this ship was so detached that he did not need to do the work of ordinary sailors, although he would sometimes rush to work with them, so as not to alienate themselves from each other, and he could come to learn more about the sailors' work on deck.

Even if he slept alone in his room until the sun went down, no one would care about him.

Tang Jie bent down, climbed off the deck, and walked into the narrow aisle of the cabin, and when he reached the door of his sailor's room, he heard a faint sound of talking at the end of the corridor.

Tang Jie was a little curious, and walked over lightly, but was a little shocked to find that this voice actually came from the room where Jones was being held.

After the battle aboard the Marauder, Barnia and their help, with the help of Tang Jie, managed to capture the captain of the Marauder, Jones, and took him to the ship, where he was kept in a small dark room at the end of the cabin, except for the daily water and food, the others did not bother him, although his men killed many of their brothers.

This is also thanks to Captain Barr's explanation, saying that this is an excellent talisman and hostage, and must not be neglected. If not, with William's character and temper, I am afraid that Jones would have become a pile of rotten meat by now.

But be kind and kind, the bearded Barr has repeatedly explained that no one is allowed to contact Jones in private, otherwise he will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!

Barr's majesty, no one on this ship dares to offend, but who dares to go to Jones in private at this time?

Is he dying?

Tang Jieqiang pressed the doubts in his heart, walked to the door of the room, and quietly peeked inside, but saw that it was dark inside, and there were only two figures, one was sitting on the ground, his hands were tied behind his back, it was Jones, and the other was standing, wearing a long robe, but he couldn't see who it was.

But although Tang Jie couldn't see who this person was, just from the hem of the clothes hanging from his ankles, Tang Jie had already guessed the name of this person!

Horne!

Why is he here at this time?

Was he healing Jones?

Tang Jie's heart shook violently, and as soon as this thought came up, he heard a low voice from inside, but it was Jones's resentful voice: "Don't pretend, let me tell you, why things are like this, you know better than me! Why didn't we implement the plan we said at the beginning?"

With a bang, Tang Jie only felt that his head exploded, and a terrifying thought came through him like lightning!

Horn knows Jones?

Do they collude?

Horn, is it a mole!?

This thought was buzzing in Tang Jie's mind, so much so that Horn lowered his voice and said something, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

Since the end of that naval battle, although Tang Jie didn't think much about some suspicious things, after all, he had an impression in his heart, after he got on the ship, the bits and pieces he saw were connected by this sentence, which suddenly made his mind gradually clear.

On the night of the battle, I saw Horn on the deck, and remembered that his clothes had obvious scratches, and Nia had also said that in this late autumn season, it is impossible to change the direction of the wind in the Ataq Sea, let alone a sudden storm, and there is a kind of person in this world who can change this.

That's the magician!

And Horn is a magician!

During the rainstorm, I climbed up to the mast to loosen the sail knot, only to find that it was a man-made dead knot, and there were obvious scratches on Horn's clothes, and it was obvious that he had climbed the mainmast and tied the sail knot into a dead knot!

As long as the Inferno capsizes, he and Jones can easily catch up with Barr, and all they do is calm the storm and pick up their Reservoir Dogs!

Although Tang Jie has a heroic and straightforward personality, he is definitely not a fool idiot, although he is not scheming, it does not mean that when all the clues are placed in front of him, he still can't see the clues before and after.

It's just that Tang Jie didn't expect that such a traitor who should be inside and outside should be why it turned out to be Horn who saved his life?

When he first came to this world, although Tang Jie had conflicts with Nia, William and others on this ship, and experienced a thrilling storm and naval battle, in it, what he felt was the blood-boiling fearless fighting spirit of this group of pirates and their spirit of unity with Barr.

What especially touched Tang Jie deeply was that this group of pirates were simple and bold, with the character and temper of being drunk and drunk.

It's a lovely group of friends, and it's a team that gives people a sense of belonging quickly.

Tang Jie likes this group of guys, and he also likes this team.

However, today, at this time, Tang Jie finally discovered that under the bright sunshine in the sky, there would still be dark corners that the sun could not shine!

Where there are people, there is fighting!

Why did Horn betray us?

Is it because of that non-existent treasure map?

The more Tang Jie thought about it, the more cold he became, the more uncomfortable he became, he already saw himself as a part of this boat, as a part of this group, and Horn's betrayal of this team was equivalent to betraying him!

What's more, on weekdays, how could this drunk, lazy, and dirty pastor do such a thing?

I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart!

Tang Jie was tumbling in his mind when he heard footsteps coming from the room where Jones was being held, and Horn was about to come out.

Tang Jie was startled, and immediately stretched out his hand to push the door of a storage room next to him, the door was locked! Tang Jie didn't think about it, he let out a fighting spirit in his hand, tore the iron chain on the door latch alive, and quickly flashed in.

Almost as soon as Tang Jie closed the door lightly, a person walked out of Jones's room.

Tang Jie looked through the crack in the door, but saw the dim light shining on a bearded face, who was it not Horn?

Tang Jie felt like a big stone in his heart, and after Horn looked around and walked into his room, he walked out and sighed softly.

Back in his room, Tang Jie lay on the cold bed, listening to the thunderous snoring of the other sailors in the room, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

It wasn't until the sky was just dawning that Tang Jie couldn't stand the invasion of drowsiness and fell asleep.

But he hadn't slept long before he faintly heard someone shouting in the cabin: "Jones has escaped! Jones has escaped!"

Tang Jie was shocked, like burning his buttocks, he sat up, quickly put on his clothes and shoes, and rushed out of the door, only to see Bill scurrying around with a sharp voice.

The cabin was already as lively as a pot of boiling water, and the pirates were noisy and angry.

Tang Jie grabbed him and asked, "What's the matter? How did Jones escape?"

Bill exclaimed, "When Keya went to deliver breakfast to that bastard in the morning, he found that his door was open, and there was no one inside!

At this time, William also came over angrily, and his fists clenched: "If I catch this bastard again, I must beat him into meat sauce!

Tang Jie's thoughts flashed in his heart, Horn must have let him go!

Bastard, since I found out last night, why don't you watch this Jones!

It's all my fault!!

Bill looked at Tang Jie's face was cloudy, his face was as heavy as water, and he asked with some surprise, "What's wrong, what are you thinking?"

Tang Jie shook his head and patted Bill's shoulder: "Does the captain know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Bill could answer, he heard the deep and deep voice of the bearded Barr coming from his captain's room: "Tang Jie, come to me!"

The captain's room was smaller than the ordinary sailor's room, but because the captain lived alone, it was much more spacious, and as soon as Tang Jie entered the door, he saw a neatly folded and cleanly cleaned bed next to a desk, and on the copper-yellow wooden wall, hung a pair of armor and a shield, among which he wore a short-handled wrist sword.

There are not many furnishings in the room, but there is a sense of sophistication everywhere.

Old Barr stood in the middle of the room, without a captain's hat, revealing a messy hair, looking a little in good spirits, he saw Tang Jie come in, and motioned with his eyes for him to close the door.

When Tang Jie closed the door, the two people, one old and one young, glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke, and the silence in the room became more and more depressing in the noise in the corridor.

After a while, old Barr spoke, "You have heard what is going on outside?"

Tang Jie nodded, his lips opened, but he stopped talking.

Barr's eyes flashed and he smiled, "What do you want to say?"

Tang Jie's heart was shocked, and his eyes met Barr's, but he saw that this gentle and kind elder on weekdays was as sharp as a knife at this time, as if he wanted to see through Tang Jie's heart at a glance.

Under the pressure of Barr's gaze, Tang Jie sighed secretly in his heart, and told everything he saw last night, but he didn't say all the speculations in his heart.

Barr listened attentively, and there was no surprise or joy on his bronzed countenance, and there was not the slightest wave, and he was obviously used to seeing countless storms and waves.

After listening to Tang Jie, he raised his head, took a long breath, patted Tang Jie's shoulder, and smiled slightly: "Good boy, I really didn't misunderstand you!"

"Huh?" Tang Jie was a little puzzled.

Barr smiled, "You saw Horn and Jones meeting privately last night, right?"

Tang Jie nodded, and Barr smiled coldly and said, "I'm right behind you!"

Tang Jie was shocked, and he couldn't help but have cold hairs on his back!

It turns out that old Barr has been testing him all along!

Tang Jie said eating: "In this way, you also know Horn's ......"

Old Barr smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Child, how long have you been on the boat?"

Tang Jie thought for a while and said, "It's been sixteen days!"

"Heh, you've only been on the ship for sixteen days, and you can find out who the traitor is......" Old Barr sneered, "Am I, an old thing who has lived on this ship for more than thirty years, worse than you?"

Tang Jie's body was shocked, and his eyes looked at Baal in shock!

It turned out that he already knew!

"Horn made waves at sea, climbed the mainmast and tied the sailor's knot into a dead knot, I figured it out as soon as the naval battle was over. Old Barr's eyes shot a sharp light, "It's just that you were seriously injured at the time, and most of the others were also injured, and we need Horn's healing technique to heal us!"

"So, you've been enduring and waiting!" Tang Jie suddenly realized, remembering that Old Barr was silent on weekdays, and his smile was as usual, he couldn't help but sigh!

What is a city government?

"We are about to arrive at the city of Dam, and as soon as we get to the city of Dam, I will kill Jones and completely cut off the clues that the Duchy of York is tracking us. Horn finally couldn't take it anymore, he thought there was anything going on this boat that could hide it from my eyes?"

"So, Horn was afraid that Jones would confess him before he died, so he let Jones go?" Tang Jie was smart and clear.

Old Barr nodded appreciatively: "If he doesn't jump out by himself, I can't find a chance to start yet!"

Take action?

Tang Jie had mixed feelings in his heart, and when he looked at Old Barr's gaze again, he already had a trace of strangeness and awe.

Old Bal is an old man, of course he knows what Tang Jie's gaze contains, he is not willing to be estranged from Tang Jie, he smiled, his face became gentle again, he sighed: "Child, I have been sailing for more than 30 years, I have experienced countless storms and waves, and I have seen countless people's hearts, how can I not have the mind to protect myself? I have been teaching you the art of navigation a few days ago, but those are just techniques, you can learn from any experienced sailor." And the lesson I'm going to teach you today is something that no one else can teach you!"

Old Barr approached Tang Jie slightly, and in his ear, a low voice said: "Sea god Tira once said that she would be generous and merciful to every believer, but she would never tolerate any betrayer. The same goes for us pirates!"

"We will be open to every friend and companion we recognize, but if anyone dares to betray us, we will definitely break him to pieces, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth!"

"Today, I want to teach you the first lesson, that is: not everyone will become your partner, and not every partner will be willing to be with you through thick and thin!" Old Barr said earnestly, "I suffered many losses when I was young, but fortunately, I didn't lose my life because of this!"

After speaking, Old Barr raised his iron hook prosthetic, his tone was flat, but Tang Jie clearly heard the bloody wind and blood, and heard the grievances and hatred.

"The pirate king Athos was killed on the spot because of the betrayal of his subordinates, leaving only a vigorous legend. And I lost an arm because of the betrayal of one of my most trusted partners!" Barr smiled slightly, and in a tone full of the wisdom and vicissitudes of the elder, he sighed slowly, "Sailing on the sea, without scheming and the city, how can you save your life and live so long?"

Old Barr turned his head and looked at Tang Jie with blazing eyes, his eyes were full of admiration, appreciation, and love: "You are the most talented man I have ever met in more than 50 years! Your eyes are full of boredom with the ordinary world, full of longing for an unknown life, full of yearning and ambition for wealth and passion! Your pursuit of fine wine, beauty, wealth and your own great power is endless, you are a natural pirate, I will never look away!"

"So, I don't want you to make the same mistakes I once made!" said Barr, "I am calling you in today, not to test you, but to give you the first real lesson in life at sea!"

Barr smiled, suddenly changed his heavy tone, and said slightly teasingly: "You still have a long way to go, if you don't learn to grow up as soon as possible, how can my ship and my daughter be entrusted to you with confidence?"

Tang Jie was a little stunned when he heard this, he was moved and dazed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

What would you do if there was a man who looked the other way at you and entrusted you with his possessions and his daughter?

Tang Jie sighed in his heart: Isn't that the old man Lu looking at Liu Bang?

Whether he is Liu Bang or not, Tang Jie himself doesn't know, but he knows that the gratitude he feels to Barr in his heart is really not something that can be described in words.

He was floating on the sea when he crossed over, and if it weren't for Barr, he would have drowned at sea!

If it weren't for Barr, how could he identify with the world so quickly, have a group that gives him a strong sense of belonging, and let him have so many lovely and simple companions?

If it weren't for Baal, how could he become the future heir of this ship in just a dozen days, and how could he win Nia's heart and favor?

Thinking of this, Tang Jie let out a long sigh, he originally wanted to intercede for Horn, the life-saving benefactor, even if he didn't kill him, give him a boat, obey the destiny of heaven at sea, and let the sea god Tira decide whether he was dead or alive, that would be good.

But after listening to Barr's words at this time, Tang Jie knew in his heart that Horn's life would never be saved!
