"On the town next to Donghai City."

"Go to Donghai City!"

The corners of his mouth were pursed.

That Xiliang Guojun, sure enough, is an old fox!

All the way they came, they were chasing at various checkpoints from Da Zhou to Xiliang, but who would have thought that they didn't go from land at all.

There was no waterway from the Caoyun Fortress either.

They have taken a detour, a long detour!

Yan Ci led people to Donghai City overnight, and at the same time, he also sent a message to Licang, asking him not to attack Xiliang for the time being.

It's not that I've given up attacking Xiliang.

Instead, the banquet had already sent a letter to his uncle Mu Guangyu in the capital, asking him to lead the troops to join Licang.

Since Xiliang is restless, then it is better to completely subdue them.

You don't have to wait for the previous method of boiling frogs in warm water.

Continuous wars have indeed cost the people and money.

But there is no need for a restless person like Xiliang to drag it out.

Thinking that the other party dared to kidnap Wan Wan, the banquet couldn't wait to screw off the head of Xiliang Guojun in minutes!

No, the most important thing now is to find Wan Wan first.

After galloping for three days and three nights, Yan Yu led people to Donghai City and came to the ship where the clue was found.

Yan Ci stretched out his hand, touched the black ash, and carefully looked at the large and small holes next to him that were pierced by sharp weapons.

Holes, getting smaller and smaller.

The eyes of the banquet are getting brighter and brighter.

The whole person was visibly excited.

Tianji was beside him, his face was confused, and he said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, this, is this a very important clue?" ”

"The hole is getting smaller and smaller, which proves that the sharp weapon that has been ground and baked is getting sharper and sharper."

That thing is a needle!

And Wan Wan is best at using needles!

Why didn't Lin Wanyi carve some other handwriting as clues on those boats at the beginning?

It's not like she hasn't done it.

It's just that Xu Zhao, a native of Xiliang, is very cautious and cautious, whether he changes the carriage or the boat halfway, he will be directly destroyed, leaving no trace at all.

Even the Gu worms that were searched from Ceransi's body were burned to death, so I was worried that they would be found.

That's why, at the beginning of the banquet, they didn't find any clues.

The last ship, before leaving, Xu Zhao didn't have time to burn it, but he also carefully inspected it.

There is no place for any words to engrave.

As for the few holes in the wooden plank, they are also very inconspicuous, as Tianji said before, traces of this level have been found in many places, and even he is not sure if this thing was made by Lin Wanyi and them.

But he missed one thing.

That is, there was no trace before, and suddenly a little trace was left, even if it was just an ordinary trace, but it also made people be able to follow the vine.

Find the truth.

Yan Ci immediately said coldly: "Go and find out when this ship came here, and where did the people on board go?" ”

"Yes."

Tianquan's efficiency was very fast, and he immediately found out.

The ship came here five days ago, and the people on board changed to a larger ship, selected some experienced sailors, and went to sea.

With a click, the banquet broke the tea bowl in his hand.

Sea!

Xiliang people are really cunning, this is really going around in a big circle, and then bring people back to Xiliang!

Tianquan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, those people definitely didn't take the coastal route in order to avoid the official ships. But on other routes, you may encounter Haikou. ”

Yan Yu stood up, "Go prepare the boat and go to sea!" ”

Before, there was no clue at all, no direction at all, and now that there is a clue, what are you waiting for?

Not only did he have to go to the sea to find it, but he also ordered people to immediately send people to the cities and strongholds all along the coast.

As soon as they get ashore, stop them!

For the first three days, the sea was calm and nothing happened.

White seabirds follow the huge wooden boats.

But on the fourth day, the sky began to darken and oppressive, and the gentle sea gradually changed its mood as if it had been provoked by something.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "A corpse found!" ”

Tianji, who was originally standing on the deck, suddenly became nervous, he was just about to go over to see who the corpse was, but found that the chiffon next to him was running faster!

This kid is obviously not as good as him!

Chiffon rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the body was a man.

The experienced sailors who followed over immediately recognized it, "This is Zhang San, it's the sailor who followed that group of people to sea a few days ago, he, why did he die?" ”

This Zhang San has a knife wound on his body.

In other words, it is very likely that the ship has encountered a pirate!

Yan Ci walked out and looked at the corpse, his face was calm, but there was a very strong worry in his eyes.

He said decisively: "In what direction did the corpse float from?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's the Southeast."

"Drive over there!"

"But...... Just now an experienced sailor said that the storm is about to start at sea, and the storm over there will be even stronger! ”

Storms at sea are no joke.

If you are not careful, you will be wiped out.

But looking at the murderous banquet, everyone closed their mouths.

I hope the queen is okay, otherwise, Your Majesty may become, even more terrible than this raging storm!

**

The dark clouds in the sky were so black that they seemed to be about to stick to the sea.

Several wooden barrels floated onto the beach, swaying with the waves.

These barrels were used to store vegetables, fruits, grains, etc., but after a fight broke out on the ship, they also swayed from side to side, and those barrels rolled out.

After a while, the raindrops of beans smashed on the wooden barrel with a very crisp sound.

With a click, the top of the barrel was pushed away by someone, and Lin Wanyi, who was very embarrassed, crawled out of it.

Fortunately, the water here is shallow, only up to her knees.

Lin Wanyi washed her face with the slightly cool seawater, so that she could wake up quickly, and hurriedly shouted around.

"Cerancy? Where are you? ”

At that time, the situation was very urgent, and it was difficult to find a wooden boat.

And that way the target is bigger, and it is easy to be discovered by the pirates.

Fortunately, at the stern of the ship, there were a lot of barrels, many of which were empty.

At that time, Celancy first hid Lin Wanyi in the wooden barrel, closed the lid, and pushed the wooden barrel into the sea.

In Sailanqian's words, she knows martial arts, and her strength is greater than Lin Wanyi's, although she was poisoned, but because Lin Wanyi used a needle to relieve her and let her bleed, her strength at this time is still greater.

So she let Lin Wanyi into the barrel first.

The original arrangement between the two was that Cerancy pushed all the other barrels into the water to confuse the public, and then she jumped down and randomly got into one of the barrels to hide.

Lin Wanyi chuckled in her heart.

Could it be that Ceransi didn't have time to get into the barrel before she was discovered by those pirates?!
