Chapter 364: Sure enough, it's him
[Today's 20th update, 4th update]
After listening to Qiao Lin's words, Wang Hou secretly laughed in his heart: I don't know if the sect master made it privately, or if it was really dug out from under the skull wall? I don't know if he believed it or did he deliberately deceive Jami? Wang Hou was inconvenient to say, returned the Zen staff to Qiao Lin, and advised: "Since it is precious, and it was given to you by the prince of Jami, you can put it away." ”
Qiao Lin smiled very brightly, suddenly took a few deep breaths, and said with a smile: "How can you be sour when you talk to the master?" …… If you don't treat others well, this Zen stick is for you, put it away, don't lose it. Wang Hou couldn't help but be moved, and knew that he couldn't resist her, so he said, "Thank you, Elder Qiao, you will take it for me first." ”
Qiao Lin hummed, hid the "Dharma Zen Staff", and suddenly shouted: "Oh, it's dark, people are hungry, go eat quickly." He took Wang Hou and ran out of the door.
☆☆☆☆☆ "No, people still have to drink." In ten days, we will be in Adan, and I will not be able to drink it if I want to. Qiao Lin snatched the flask from Wang Hou's hand and filled two glasses. Wang Hou listened to her words neatly, knew that there was too much wine, and said with a wry smile: "Elder Qiao, since the fleet set off from Persia, you have always drunk a lot in the past eight days. ”
"When people and people think about coming to Adan soon, they feel uncomfortable." Qiao Lin looked at Wang Hou in a daze, sighed, picked up the cup, touched it with Wang Hou's cup, and took a dry mouthful, choking and coughing.
Today is the eighth day of December, and the fleet has docked in Persia for a month, and set sail on the first day of December. On the day of departure, Jamie once again wanted to give the second "Dharma Zen Staff" to Wang Hou to thank him for his martial arts guidance these days.
The fleet has been at sea for eight days. These days on the boat, Qiao Lin pesters Wang Hou every day, either telling stories or fighting wine. Wang Hou had nothing to do with her, but fortunately, Qiao Lin didn't drink much, so she fell asleep on the bed after a few glasses of wine. And her temper has become very bad, and the entourage she brought with her does not dare to ask more questions at all.
Seeing her sleeping soundly on the bed, Wang Hou shook his head, knowing that he was going to meditate all night tonight. Covered the quilt for Jolene, sat cross-legged near the porthole, thinking that there were ten days to reach Adan, where the fleet would dock for two months, and if possible, he would ride a fast horse to Mugudushu and meet Yan'er and them in advance, so that he could not only get rid of Jolene, so as not to fall in love for a long time and do wrong things, but also to have a reunion Spring Festival with Yan'er and them, and at the same time to prevent Chen Xiong.
As soon as he thought of Chen Xiong, Wang Hou's heart became apprehensive, I don't know if he was running ahead, this person is indeed an extremely dangerous person, coming from Zhancheng, Manraka, Sumatra, and Guli several times, he escaped, I hope he will not pose a threat to Yan'er and them...... After thinking about it for a while, I decided to settle down, and soon forgot about it.
I don't know how long later, I heard two knocks on the door. "Who? Come in. Wang Hou stood up, the candles in the room burned out, the light seeped through the porthole, and the sea was vast and foggy. The fog was very heavy and visibility was extremely low, so you couldn't see it ten feet away.
The door creaked open, but it was Li Xing who came in: "General Wang, General Zheng invites you to come over." Wang Hou felt a pang in his heart: Zheng Zongbing had never called himself early in the morning, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" "General Wang will talk about it in the past." Li Xing looked a little nervous.
Wang Hou didn't say more, and took a few steps to the door, but heard someone behind Qiao Lin: "Helper, I'll go with you." I don't know if she was woken up by the two of them talking, or if she was already awake, she grabbed the "Dharma Zen Staff" next to the bed and turned over and jumped out of bed, and followed.
Li Xing led the two up to the command room in the bow, Zheng He with his back to the door, facing the sea through the wide porthole in front. The yin-yang official in the room was also there, as well as a few conductors. Hearing the voice, Zheng He turned around and said, "General Wang, did you sleep well?" …… Princess Jolene is here too? ”
Wang Hou asked, "Zheng Zongbing called me over at this time, what are your orders?" Zheng He's face sank and he told the reason for the incident. The fleet sailed at night and relied on the water compass (i.e., the sea path needle) and the "transoceanic star pulling" to keep course, but last night the fog was too big to observe the stars, so they had to rely on the water compass. Originally, this was nothing, it was common to not see the starlight on the sea, but who knew that it was not until dawn that Zheng He entered the command room, with his many years of sailing experience, he vaguely felt that things were not good!
The fleet deviated from the original direction, and Zheng He broke out in a cold sweat: if it wasn't dawn, if it was not dawn, if it sailed like this at night, there was a possibility of hitting the rocks! Hurriedly summoned the Onmyoji and other people, everyone didn't understand why this happened, and the water compass was also intact, and it was impossible for anyone to come in and do anything.
At this time, one of the conductors expressed his confusion: Yesterday evening, he saw a small boat in front of the fleet, which was always not far away or near the ground, and was not found again until after dark. Originally, it was normal to have other ships on the sea, but Zheng He keenly felt that the deviation of the fleet from the direction might be related to the small boats, and ordinary small boats saw the treasure ships like hills, so they were afraid to avoid them, how could they dare to occupy the route in front? After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng He decided to ask Li Xing to invite Wang Hou over, and prepared to let him bring a warship to the front to investigate.
Eighteen zhang long and six zhang wide, it is the most mobile and flexible combat ship in the fleet. After listening to Zheng He's words, Wang Hou secretly thought: If there is really a small boat in front of him, the warship will also surprise the other party in the past, so it is better to go to investigate alone, so he said his thoughts.
Zheng He knew that he had made great achievements, and what he said was reasonable, so he advised: "General Wang must be careful, just understand what kind of boat it is." Wang Hou answered, and was about to jump out of the porthole, but heard Qiao Lin say urgently: "Helper, bring this!" When he turned around, he saw Qiao Lin handing over the "Dharma Zen Staff", and couldn't bear to brush her kindness, so he thanked him after taking it, and then flew out.
Without waiting to fall to the surface of the sea, Wang Hou immediately performed "Skill to Divide the Wind", his body swept forward rapidly, his footsteps were light on the water, and he had reached ten zhang away, and the surrounding area was still white, and the visibility did not change in the slightest. Wang Hou encountered this situation three times in total, once from Wang Qiaodong, along the Yuxi River to the south, across the Yangtze River, when the river was also full of fog. The second time was the Sailing Contest in Rizhao, and the Willow Sect Master drove a small boat to meet the sea fog, which was even bigger than it is now, and it was also poisonous. The third time was in Tianjinwei, looking for those Japanese pirates on the sea, it was night, and they had been rushing out of the sea for more than ten miles before they found the Japanese boats.
At this time, Wang Hou didn't think much about it, he just wanted to find the suspicious boat as soon as possible, rushed out for almost five miles, but did not find the slightest, and went forward about five miles, but still found nothing, so he gradually slowed down, and with the help of the rebound of the greenstone mat, he stopped on the water. Secretly: Could it be that the boat seen by the command post has already traveled far away? Or did the boat change course? It's a pity that it's foggy weather, otherwise if you climb to the top of the mast of the treasure ship, you can see the situation within ten miles at least.
After thinking for a moment, because of the experience of the last Rizhao Sailing Competition, Wang Hou decided to turn west first, and then return to the "Tian Yuan", so as not to miss the position of the boat. The fleet from Persia to Adan has been moving from north to south, with the coastline in the west. I turned back a little and went back less than three miles, but I found that there was a faint shadow in front of me!
Wang Hou was stunned, did not dare to hesitate, his body sank, and he sank into the sea. Dark Passage: Could it be the boat? The shadow just now is at least two or three stories high, but from a distance on the treasure ship, it is not too much to say that it is a small ship, and no matter how big a ship is, it is a small ship compared to the treasure ship.
Sinking into the water, Wang Hou held his breath, his consciousness dispersed, and listened to the sound above. Wang Hou was secretly happy in his heart, he was not worried about being discovered by the other party at all, of course, thanks to Tie Saluo, if there was no recovery internal strength of the Emerald Island Waterhole, it would be difficult to sink in the water for a long time.
Hearing the sound of paddling getting closer and closer, Wang Hou made up his mind: first attach to the hull of the boat, and then go up to investigate while the other party is unprepared. After a while, the current above his head fluctuated, Wang Hou knew that the boat was approaching, and immediately stretched out his right hand, and when the palm touched, a style of "heaven and water communicate" tightly adsorbed the hull, and when he saw that there was no abnormality, he poked his head out of the water, and the whole person was also close to the hull.
The boat has two floors, and Wang Hou was about to climb up a little, but he heard someone on the boat: "Your Majesty is clever!" Just calculated that there will be fog today, Zheng He and they are afraid that they have fallen into a trap! Another voice said: "Your Majesty is not only a clever plan, but this fog is also arranged by Your Majesty!" ”
Wang Houyilin: It turns out that this boat is really making trouble! …… I wonder who the Majesty is in their mouths? What trap can you fall into?
A voice snorted coldly: "You are less flattering!" ......" Wang Hou almost let go of his palm when he heard this voice: Chen Xiong! It turned out to be Chen Xiong! Immediately held his breath, he knew that Chen Xiong was a person who would fall into his trap if he was not careful. He dared to appear in this place, he definitely didn't know that I could do it, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so careless!
Chen Xiong's voice continued: "Actually, you are all wrong, it was this fog that saved Zheng He!" If it weren't for the fog, the speed of the fleet would not have decreased, and by this time it had already entered an ambush! …… At this time, there can still be fog on the sea, and God was helping him at that time? However, I have a numb treasure, and he can't escape my palm after all! Several voices said at the same time: "Your Majesty's clever plan!" ”
Malin Treasure! Wang Hou's heart was pounding: It seems that Ma Lin Qibao is on this boat, no matter what, I have to catch him today, this opportunity is too rare, catching him now is equivalent to catching a turtle in an urn, the key is that I can't be captured by him! Especially since he still has a marlin treasure in his hand!
