Chapter 161: Set Sail Again
Chapter 161: Set Sail Again
The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Ye Yuechen and others carrying gifts, his eyes were very surprised, because he didn't remember that he had such a group of strangely dressed relatives and friends.
"...... you?"
"We are fishermen from the fishing village in the north, and I heard that you used to be fishermen, so I want to ask you about some of the situation in the waters around here, can we go in?"
"Oh, that's right, come in. The man welcomed the people into the house and invited them to sit down.
"Actually, I haven't been fishing for many years. ”
"Oh, why is that?"
The man paused, and finally smiled and said, "It's in the past, so don't mention it." ”
Ye Yuechen couldn't help but be a little disappointed, in his opinion, what the man wanted to say must have something to do with the sea in the south.
"Uncle, I heard that you have been to the sea in the south and seen a forest, right?"
As soon as the man heard this, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he stared at Ye Yuechen for a long time, showing a very unfriendly side.
"Uncle, you ...... What's wrong with you?"
"Who the hell are you?"
Ye Yuechen and Wang Tianhao glanced at each other, then squeezed out a smile and said, "We are fishermen, what, don't you think it's like it?"
"Hmph. The man snorted coldly, "Today is not the first time someone has asked me this question, you said that you are also a fisherman, you want to ask the south of such a large sea area, is it just a coincidence?"
"Uncle, what do you mean by that? I don't understand. ”
"Don't pretend, I think you're in the same league as those people in the morning, right?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately had a bad premonition. Ye Yuechen was also shocked in his heart, could it be that there were still people who also wanted to go to the Holy Land of Qilin? Thinking about it this way, they were probably the people of the wolf's teeth, but they didn't expect to be preempted.
"How's it going, don't you have anything to say?" the man asked, curling the corners of his mouth.
"No, such important news must be told by him. Ye Yuechen said secretly, so he had an idea, took out a token printed with the word "official" from his arms, put it in front of the man and shook it, "Actually, we are from the government, and the people you mentioned before are likely to be fugitives we are pursuing." ”
The man looked at the token, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, but the doubt in his eyes still did not completely subside.
Ye Yuechen saw that this trick had some effect, so he pretended to be serious and continued, "You have already disclosed the confidential information to the fugitives, for the sake of your unintentional mistakes, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins now, otherwise I will punish you for the crime of covering up and arrest you." ”
Yue Ji and Qiao Ba skillfully cooperated with Ye Yuechen's words, and took out the double axes on their backs and put them in their hands, showing a fierce and vicious appearance.
"Your Excellency, spare your life. Seeing this, the man hurriedly fell to his knees.
Ye Yuechen couldn't hold back his laughter, and said, "I'm asking you now, and you have to answer truthfully." ”
"Definitely, definitely. ”
"What do those people look like in the morning?"
"Back to my lords, they are all wearing black cloaks, and they can't see their faces clearly, but they speak strangely and terrifyingly. As soon as these words came out, Ye Yuechen was even more sure of their identities.
"Are you telling them how to get to the south of the sea?"
"My lord, I lied to them. ”
"Oh, what did you say?" the crowd pricked up their ears when they knew that the man was about to get to the point.
"I was there a few years ago, and the forest wasn't just south, it was southwest. After a few days of sailing south from the town, you will see a large island, and the correct direction should be to go from the west side of the island, and I don't think the people are good people in the morning, so I lied to them to go east. ”
"Is what you're saying true?"
"It's true. ”
Ye Yuechen nodded, thinking to himself, he didn't dare to lie, "Since this is the case, I will no longer hold you responsible, you get up." ”
"Master Xie. ”
Yue Ji threw the gift in his hand into his hand and said, "These things should be regarded as condolences from the adults, keep them well, we are going to arrest the fugitives." ”
The man also smiled and took it with both hands, thanking him again and again. Then he sent Ye Yuechen and his party out of the door, watched them leave, and when they were far away, the man looked at the gift in his hand, suddenly thought of something, and shouted, "It's not right." Then he shouted at Ye Yuechen's back, "You guys come back to me, you are not an official of our country, why do you care about me?"
Listening to his call, the group finally burst out laughing.
"Good brother, how is it, it feels good to be an official in a foreign country, right?"
Ye Yuechen pretended to think carefully for a while, and then said, "Well, it's not bad." ”
It was already night after returning to the inn, if the man informed Blood Shadow and the others of the correct location of the Qilin Holy Land, Ye Yuechen might not stay here, they must rush to the Holy Land before the wolf's tooth and inform the fire Qilin's guardian beast of the news, but now, he is not too worried, the holy land is in the west, and the wolf's tooth is to the east, so in this way, they will go far away.
After more than ten days of drifting on the sea, Ye Yuechen has not slept peacefully, because the shaking of the hull of the ship makes it really difficult for him to sleep, and now he can finally make up for the sleepiness he lost in the past.
The night in the seaside town is warm, and the sound of the rolling waves and the chirping of seabirds does not spoil such a quiet and peaceful picture, as if it is more like a sweet serenade, which is melodious and lulling.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the window on Ye Yuechen's handsome face, the soft and warm feeling made him open his eyes. Although he didn't sleep until noon, he slept contentedly, without strange dreams or the rocking of the ship.
After purchasing some supplies, the group stepped on the deck again, Yue Ji is face was sad, and if he sat down again, it was estimated that he would be seasick, but there was no way, who made him choose to follow Ye Yuechen in the first place. But this time he learned wisely, and when he got on the ship, he bought a lot of good wine and meat, and with these things to distract him, maybe time would pass sooner.
Under Blackboy's command, the sailboat set sail again and continued its journey south, this time with a clearer sense of direction.
Yue Ji stood at the bow of the boat, reluctantly watching the town gradually disappear, and that expression did not appear when he left the East Turkistan Empire.
Chopper came from behind with a smile, put his arm on his shoulder and smiled, "Isn't it just a boat, so you won't be afraid of this." ”
Yue Ji said while eating chicken legs, "Who said that I was afraid, I was worried that after one day, I would stay on the boat for one less day, so I was not happy." ”
"I see!" everyone laughed, pretending to be enlightened.
In fact, Yue Ji also knew that his excuse was so far-fetched that it couldn't be more far-fetched, but he didn't want to admit that he would sit on a boat until his legs were weak, and how could he be worthy of his title of "one of the three warriors of the East Turkistan Kingdom".
Seeing that other people were also a gesture of making fun of themselves, Yueji was very unhappy in his heart, stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth, and hid in the cabin to sleep.
"Haha......"
"Hahaha......"
Everyone watched him play with a childish temper, and they all laughed happily as they stood on the deck.
"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. ”
No one knows how long the road ahead is, and they don't care, because their end is clear, and nothing can stand in the way of this.
