It was dawn, but not too bright, and there was a gloomy atmosphere of dawn all around.

At this time, the sun broke through the layers of thick clouds, and just emerged from the corner of the river, instantly sprinkled with thousands of rays of light, and immediately floated on the water with a fiery red.

In one of the cabins under the big ship, there was a faint smell of coolness and blood, rats brazenly walking up and down the bulkheads, the lanterns glowing dimly and oppressively yellow, the painful wails and slight moans of the wounded from the next door, and then the sound of walking on the deck joined the assembly.

Lu Qianyu and Lao Dao sat across a rotten table of eight immortals, and the bulkhead was stamped with the hideous shadows of the two of them.

"That's the way it is!" said the old knife with a look of shame on his face, lifting up his body sunken in his chair, "I'm really sorry for not telling you the secret sooner. But there is a reason for it, and the reason why a secret is a secret is because you can't talk nonsense!"

"I can understand, anyone would do this!" Lu Qianyu nodded, he stared at a small bulge on the table, and questioned, "Isn't there anything missing?"

"At this point, there is no need to deceive you. The old knife stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, he leaned forward, stared at Lu Qianyu's eyes and said, "Now the decision is in your hands, you can choose to stay." Of course, it's better to leave!" With that, the old knife reached for the teapot.

Lu Qianyu pushed the teapot over, and he laughed softly: "I won't leave for the time being, especially now!"

"Aren't you going for revenge?" the old knife poured water and took a sip. He stared at Lu Qianyu clasping the hand on the left bulge and said, "It seems that you don't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. ”

"I really don't need to wade into this troubled water!" Lu Qianyu's mind came to the scene of Liuheshan falling, he lifted a piece of lacquer in the bulging place, blew the crumbs with his mouth, and said, "It's easy to get on the boat, but it's hard to get off the boat." This matter has nothing to do with me. Because Hua Qiangui killed my master. ”

"The people of Demon Flame are not easy to deal with. The old knife touched the teacup and said.

"I haven't dealt with it yet, let's try it. Lu Qianyu got up, pulled out a chair, took Gu Han, and walked out of the cabin.

The old knife looked at a large piece of wood on the table, shook his head, and couldn't help but say, "Why bother?"

Coming outside, Lu Qianyu took a deep breath and stood on the deck, holding the railing with both hands, looking at the river in the distance.

The saffron river, the blue waves, the undulating appearance of the water surface, like a woman's skirt raised on a windy day.

On the distant mountains, the verdant forests are green, and the smoke cage lingers, like a fairy sky.

The beautiful mountains and beautiful waters, the heaven and the earth are formed, forming a beautiful picture.

Then, Lu Qianyu withdrew his gaze and looked closer again.

The mist filled the surroundings of the big ship, and the water droplets attached to the air were lighting little by little in the sun, and the fishing boats leaving the port were in twos and threes, and the sailors sang fishing songs, and the boats were in a hurry, disturbing a flock of water birds.

A few waterfowl flapped their wings and flew into the sky for nine days, making a pleasant cry, while a few lazily stranded in the river, burying their heads in the middle of their wings and combing their colorful feathers.

On the deck, there was no trace of last night's battle, and the sailors were washing the blood away with water, and it seemed that the truth had also rushed out.

Obviously, Lu Qianyu had a long talk with Lao Dao, not for the sake of greetings.

Lu Qianyu got the answers to all the questions from the old knife, and the numbness in his heart instantly dissolved, this was a good thing that suddenly became clear, but he couldn't relax at all. He also thinks that there will be huge ups and downs in his heart, however, it is like a cold pool, without any waves.

The boulder hanging above his head fell to the ground, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

recalled the content of the conversation, which made Lu Qianyu cry and laugh.

Recently, a big thing happened on the rivers and lakes.

There was a rebellion in the Northwest Demon Flame Sect, and a high-level person stole the sect's treasure and crossed over, so the Demon Flame Sect mobilized heroes from all walks of life, intercepted and killed halfway, and a bloody storm was opened.

All of a sudden, the twelve sects, the righteous people, the greedy people, the heroes of the green forest, and the various forces sharpened their knives, and secretly wrestled for the treasure. A storm and turmoil, the chaos of the storm and clouds, is spreading rapidly on the rivers and lakes.

And the treasure thief is the masked man on the ship, one of the core figures of the Demon Flame Sect.

As soon as the news came out, Lu Qianyu was shocked into a cold sweat, and his heart almost collapsed, "It seems that the original expectation was good, but sure enough, it was on a thief ship!"

If there is one, there will be two, and then three will be on four, and so it will be continuous.

Since the Demon Flame Sect knows the whereabouts of the big ship, it will continue to attack in the future, and each time it becomes more and more ferocious, just like a man hiding from his wife.

Last night, the battle had just ended, and the people on the big ship held an impromptu meeting.

To escape, or not to escape, became the central idea of the meeting.

Lu Qianyu didn't know about the meeting, because when he came back with the knife, the battle had been over for a long time, and only the packed corpses were left, waiting to be transported off the ship.

He heard Lao Dao say that at the meeting, people with different views were arguing and foaming at the meeting. When it was intense, it almost fought, and the scene got out of control several times and subsided several times.

Those who advocate fleeing have a point of view that is to the point and reasonable. The Demon Flame Sect is too powerful, and after this battle, it will definitely regain its strength, and the next wave of attacks will be coming soon. At that time, the number of people will be double, triple, or even dozens of times that of this attack, and there will be as many masters and strong as a cow. The number of people on the big ship is limited, there is no replenishment, there is one less death, the big ship is in a dilemma in Stone Town, if it does not flee now, it will definitely be wiped out by then.

The second brother was one of the main representatives, but he rarely attended such meetings, and he did not appear at the initial stage of this meeting. Xiao Liu and Ah Tai helped him convey his opinion. Opinions represent the stubbornness of a small number of people, among which of course the stubborn old knife is indispensable, and he chose to stand on the side of the second brother.

When Xiao Liu finished talking, a secret naturally surfaced vaguely.

Why does the big ship have to go to Dongqiu?

It turned out that in order to defect to the Lianheng faction, the first major faction in the rivers and lakes, the masked people would respond in Dongqiu. At that time, the Demon Flame Arcana will be offered as a gift of sincerity.

Legend has it that this Lianheng faction, known as the largest faction in the rivers and lakes, has 100,000 disciples. In recent years, he has called on the martial arts heroes to form a martial arts alliance dominated by twelve sects together with other sects to deal with the newly rising Northwest Demon Flame.

Over the years, the two sides have fought several battles in the rivers and lakes, killing and wounding each other. As for who took advantage, the two sides are at loggerheads, and there is no way to find out.

In short, the Martial Arts League and the Demon Flame Sect are as powerful as fire and water, and they will never stand against each other, and they are already real hammers.

Not long ago, the masked man received a secret letter from the Wulin League, pointing out that they had sent someone to answer, Stone City was the meeting place, in the letter, they urgently asked the masked man, must wait for reinforcements, not rash, all in order to protect the treasure is important, the masked man felt that he did not have the treasure important mood was very unhappy, but he opened the bow and did not turn back, it was already at the end of the road, only the Wulin League could save him, so he had to act according to the plan.

In fact, on the night when Lu Qianyu was rescued, the meeting held on the big ship was for this matter.

However, this time it was different, the Demon Flame Sect took the preemptive strike and rushed ahead of the Martial Arts League, no one knew if the big ship would be able to hold out until the arrival of the people from the Martial Arts League, and even the masked man lost confidence for a while, and in the end, the second brother personally went into battle, explained the stakes, turned the tide, and stabilized the situation.

What he meant was very simple, running away was death, why not fight with the people of the Demon Flame Sect here, and still have a glimmer of life?

However, before dawn today, a few guards rolled up their bedding and quietly left. This kind of thing that shakes the hearts of the army, Lao Dao naturally won't tell Lu Qianyu, but Lu Qianyu is not stupid, he didn't feel sleepy after he came back, and it is not difficult to judge from the squirming movement that the situation on the big ship has reached a crisis.

"Martial Arts Alliance, Demon Flame Sect, Jianghu, Justice?" Lu Qianyu sneered and walked towards the shore with these words in his head.
