Prequel Chapter 40 Tempest
Vice General Wang's angry voice was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any practical effect, even if the anger between the words and the anger in the tone were still unable to prevent the Qin family from "fleeing in the wilderness" in his eyes.
"You wait for me, don't move here, I'll call someone!" Even though Qin Yi was seriously injured, he still didn't forget to cooperate with Vice General Wang, and the faint sound of ridicule came back in the wind.
Even if the people of the Qin family were busy, they still faintly showed an orderly temperament, which was very different from the quality of the guards in Shangyu City.
The sound of iron hooves was getting closer and closer, and a mighty team had appeared in sight.
At this moment, the Qin family was carrying the luggage and belongings on the carriage to the small boat docked on the beach.
The big ship standing on the sea in front of them is their hope of escape, and the mighty army behind them may be their end. Not far from the line of sight, Vice General Wang had already exchanged heads with the leader of this army, dancing with all kinds of tricks.
"Quick!" Qin Zongyao shouted, his tone filled with anxiety.
If they can't leave before the other party arrives, everyone in the Qin family, even if they don't do anything rebellious, as long as Vice General Wang just says a few words, they can make the Qin family fall into a place of no return.
The Qin family was aware of the seriousness of the matter, and even accelerated the speed of transportation, and even the wounded who were injured when blocking the Japanese invaders joined the carrying team regardless of their own injuries.
"Not good!" Qin Zongyao was anxious in his heart, now that the Qin family had a lot of luggage and belongings, plus the wounded, no matter how fast the carrying speed was, how could it compare to the officers and soldiers speeding behind him? Once handed over, the Qin family's casualties would be even heavier.
"Everyone get on the boat, don't care about these things outside your body!" Qin Zongyao immediately decided.
Everyone listened to the order and boarded the boat one after another, and at the same time, they did not forget to reach out and pull the person behind them.
"Divine Fleet!" On this side, the commander of that team gave an order, and more than a dozen soldiers with long guns flashed out of the team, and immediately knelt down on one knee to aim at the direction where everyone in the Qin family was, and the infantry had already begun to rush towards everyone in the Qin family.
"Damn, what kind of army is this, and there are even firecrackers!" Qin Yi looked at the scene in front of him, revealing an unbelievable look.
"Let's go!" I don't know who shouted, but the boat that Qin Zongyao and the others were in slowly moved towards the sea.
Looking intently, I saw that a Qin family guard who was originally on the boat had jumped onto the shore and slowly pushed the boat into the sea with his own strength.
"Bang!" At the same time as white smoke rose from the long gun in the distance, several sounds like metal penetrating the flesh echoed in everyone's ears, only to see the guard's body trembling violently, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and then looked at Qin Yi, and said intermittently: "Brother Qin, you, you go quickly!" As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a wry smile, and his dim eyes revealed a desire for life, but the blood stars that kept spurting out of his mouth and the feeling of weakness in his body made him resolutely choose the latter between life and righteousness.
After saying a word, he gritted his teeth, accompanied by a roar, and used all his strength to push the boat hard, and the boat fell steadily into the sea.
Qin Yihu's eyes were full of tears, Qin Zongyao couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned his head, but found that there was a guard at the back of the rest of the boats who pushed the boats into the sea.
"Swear to defend the Qin family to the death!"
The guards pushing the boats behind the rest of the boats shouted a slogan in unison, which was not a battlefield tragedy to defend the country, but an aria in praise of sacrifice for righteousness.
"Wait!" the general frowned and stopped the Divine Fleet, and the herald beside him also stopped the infantry who were rushing forward.
"What is this for!" Vice Admiral Wang said in amazement, "Let this gang of thieves go, but there will be endless troubles!"
"What are the anti-thieves, they are nothing more than a group of short-sighted hillbillies, flying separately when disaster strikes! Even the Liangshan thieves who used righteousness as the name during the Xuanhe period of the previous dynasty are still intrigue!" The general shouted, "But look at this group of people, even in this situation, they are still united, and there are even more people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, you still have to explain to me what happened!"
At the same time, he also caught a glimpse of the smoke rising from all sides of the city, and immediately commanded the team to ask for help, begging not to encounter the wandering Japanese robbers, and in an instant, the sound of the handover of blades spread again in the city.
The people of the Qin family finally boarded the big ship that the Japanese were riding, and immediately set sail to leave this homeland that made them feel mixed.
A few hours later, Qin Zongyao stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes slightly closed, letting the sea breeze blow across his tired face.
"Brother Zong Yao, where is the next stop?" Qin Yi stepped forward and interrupted.
"Alas...... I wanted to rest in Shangyu City for a few days and find a boatman to take us to Qingdao, but I never thought that this would happen. Qin Zongyao let out a long sigh.
"Over there in Yingzhou, I have already said hello, but we have no sailing experience here, so I'm afraid that something will go wrong temporarily. Qin Yi said worriedly.
"For today's plan, we can only drive north, where we can go, in short, we can reach Yingzhou. Qin Zongyao said.
In the middle of the night.
The silver platter, which had been hanging high in the night sky, was suddenly obscured by a menacing dark cloud, and a strong wind suddenly rolled up on the sea.
The fierce and strange wind broke the calm atmosphere of the sea, and the strong waves violently slapped the hull of the ship swaying back and forth, as if to overturn the search boat.
The people on the boat suppressed their fears and staggered to the deck, during which many people fell to the ground due to unstable standing.
"Not good!" Qin Yi exclaimed.
I saw that the dense dark clouds in the distance were sweeping violently, and the electric light flashing in the middle reflected the miserable white face in the dark night.
The roar of thunder and lightning caught the people on board off guard, and the torrential rain poured down with the strong wind, smashing on everyone, on the deck, and on the sea.
"Pull the rudder!" Qin Zongyao said loudly, but his majestic voice was drowned out by the wind and rain, thunder and lightning.
The ship drifted with the waves on the sea, and the huge waves slapped unscrupulously, making the ship tilt out of the angle of about to roll countless times, and everyone on board had long been unable to stabilize their footing, and with the swaying of the hull, the body also hit the side of the ship, and the severe pain of the body only made people make a faint muffled snort, but it was covered by the mixed sound of thunder, rainstorm, and waves.
A huge wave mercilessly hit the hull of the boat, throwing Qin Mufeng, who was already on the side of the ship, out of the boat.
In a hurry, Qin Mufeng, who was thrown out, stretched out his little hand and grabbed the side of the ship, but the angle of the hull became more and more tilted, making his whole body become powerless, and only one hand was connected to the hull.
The rainstorm did not stop for a moment, Qin Mufeng's clothes were already wet, the raindrops of beans hit his body, and a tingling sensation came from his skin, and the rain flowing on his body invisibly increased the weight of Qin Mufeng's body.
"Humph!"
The icy rain was like the cold heart of the heavens, and in the face of such coldness, Qin Mufeng could only grit his teeth and insist.
However, even if he insisted, the relentless waves had formed behind him, and without a trace of emotion, they slapped at him fiercely.
Qin Mufeng's consciousness became a little blurred, and the waves slid down the hull of the ship with an irresistible pulling force.
"Is that the end of it?"
Qin Mufeng only felt that under the pull of the waves, his arm was like a cramp, and he couldn't exert more strength.
Fortunately, the hull of the boat had tilted in the opposite direction under the lapping of the waves, and his body was attached to the slippery hull, but it also took some weight off his arms.
The chaotic situation on the ship makes everyone have no time to take care of others, even if Qin Mufeng is no longer on the deck, at the moment of endangering his life, no matter who he is, subconsciously will put self-protection in the first place, but if self-protection is difficult, how to help others? Just like when a car accident is about to happen, the driver will always instinctively protect himself, so the situation in the driver's seat is always safer than the co-pilot's seat, not to mention that in such a chaotic night, it is a great luck to be able to protect himself.
Heavenly Dao was ruthless, a huge wave slapped the hull of the ship on the opposite side of Qin Mufeng again, he hung in the air again, the power in his hand was getting weaker and weaker, and his consciousness could no longer be sober.
A figure, with the tilt of the hull, slammed into Qin Mufeng's only finger of hope.
Before he could feel the sharp pain in his fingers, his figure had already fallen into the raging sea.
The cold sea paralyzed his body, and he only saw that the behemoth in front of him had drifted with the current, getting farther and farther away from him.
"Frost River Lonely Shadow!"
Qin Mufeng shouted out these words with the last trace of consciousness he had left, and in the blink of an eye, a piece of crystal-shaped Xuan Ice had wrapped his body in it, rolling with the ferocious waves, floating and sinking, and disappearing into the night......
