From the head of the Yangtze River into the sea, and then turn south, the sky is high and the sea is wide.

There were many merchant ships on the same road when they went to sea, but as time went by, each traveled different distances, and the number of ships traveling with them gradually decreased, and most of the time, there was only one lonely ship on the vast ocean, and the flag fluttered.

Although Annan was young, he had been adrift at sea for many years, and he was extremely cautious in his voyage, clinging to the shore all the way, and would not rush into the deep sea for the sake of a tailwind, and the farthest was only fifty miles from the shore. When the weather is fine, you can even see the wine flags of the villages on the shore.

From Jinling to Fuzhou, the sea route is compared with the land route, although the detour is far, the speed of the ship can be accelerated, and it is calculated that it is still ahead of the land route. Along the way, Annan's goal was very clear, when to set sail during the day and when to drop anchor at night, all of which were clearly calculated. If you go down like this, even if you are delayed for a few days in bad weather, you can still arrive in Fuzhou before February.

It's just that I don't know when Lan Zhouzi will choose to make trouble. Even if he couldn't crack the lock, Lan Zhouzi must have known that the armory drawings were extremely important to Li Huanglai, otherwise he wouldn't have stolen them. However, all he got was a lump of wood, and it was not difficult to guess how he was thunderous.

Lan Zhouzi is no better than Chu Ting, the latter has the Greedy Demon Hall as a basis, while the former is just a helpless bandit, although the stealing technique is more powerful, if he is not careful, he will be ruined in an instant, and it will become more and more difficult to deal with. Anyway, he is also famous in the coastal areas as a river and ocean thief, and Lan Zhouzi will never do a loss-making business.

On this premise, it is not difficult to guess that Lan Zhouzi must also regard this boat of people as a great enemy at this time, and he will never give up if he does not pull out a few teeth from the tiger's mouth.

Since going to sea, Zhao Wu'an has hardly slept a peaceful night.

It has always grown in the inland of the Central Plains, and rarely experienced the wind and waves at sea, so it is not able to sleep, which is naturally an important reason. In addition, Zhao Wuan also had the duty to pay attention to the movements of all parties at sea, and worked day and night to guard against attacks from Lan Zhouzi.

Since the other party dares to fire arrows to demonstrate, he must have the confidence and ability to fight at sea, which is also in line with the legend that Lan Zhouzi is famous for naval battles.

However, on the other hand, on his own side, Duan Taoli's martial arts are scarce, Li Huanglai is just an empty shell, Ling Zhixiao is still unknown whether he can fight, the An family brothers and sisters and a boatload of guys must also be protected, Zhao Wu'an and Duan Hunttian are the only two people who can fight with Lan Zhouzi.

The sea is the other party's world, and now I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and if I am not careful, I will lose everything, Zhao Wuan really has to pay full attention.

The sea is stormy, and now it has just passed the New Year, and the cold wind on the shop is like cutting the noodles with a knife. Even in this weather, Zhao Wu'an just sat on the bow of the boat in a white robe, holding the lanyard of the red box tightly in one hand and stroking the arrow marks left on the bow with the other.

Judging from the arrow marks, the arrow that transmitted Lan Zhouzi's news was extremely deep into the plank, and the angle was extremely positive, as if it had been thrown from the clouds by a celestial immortal, and with the power of piercing clouds and cracking stones, it was nailed straight into the bow of the ship.

There was no high place near the wharf where the merchant ships were anchored, and the only commanding height was the city wall of Jiangning Mansion half a mile away, from where Lan Zhouzi could only shoot an arrow into the clouds and then make it pierce the merchant ship.

At such a distance, it would be difficult to just hit, let alone make an arrow fall from the sky and hit the target ship just right. If this is the case, then Lan Zhouzi's archery attainments are almost inhuman, and his own martial arts must be quite worth seeing.

After all, Lan Zhouzi is a person who has been famous along the coast for a long time, even if he doesn't often hear about it in the interior, the few days he spent in Jiangning Mansion are always like thunder. Zhao Wuan had to guard against it, but he was afraid that he would not be able to prevent it.

The wind and the sun were blowing, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but An Qing couldn't stand it every time, and sat on the deck beside him to accompany him.

The angry waves of the Hanhai Sea are indeed worthy of its name. Even though Annan had tried his best to sail on the shore, the wind and waves at sea were still fighting day by day, and Zhao Wuan even couldn't bear An Qing to sit on the bow of the ship with him.

From time to time, there were monstrous waves, often wetting the clothes of the two. But no matter what Zhao Wu'an said, An Qing refused to leave.

"If you catch a cold in the spring, how can I explain to your parents?" Zhao Wu'an said helplessly.

"Let's just say that the second brother abused me and made me a coolie!" An Qing said with a sugar pill in her mouth, as a matter of course.

Zhao Wu'an couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The sugar pill that An Qing chewed was also turned out of Annan's goods.

begging for a living at sea all the year round, Annan's life should not be said to be comfortable, but judging from the handwriting of his hospitality to Zhao Wu'an, it is obvious that there is an inhumane way to make money, and his sisters are so comfortable rubbing oil, Zhao Wu'an naturally has no reason to speak.

"Lan Zhouzi doesn't know when he will come, and there are no ships around here, so it's okay if you go down for a while now, right?" An Qing asked.

Zhao Wu'an shook his head and said: "Some people are born with good water nature, and if they are trained, they can even sneak underwater to keep up with the battleship. In the past, when the north and the south faced each other, many naval armies were defeated by these people. I don't know what tricks Lan Zhouzi has up, but judging from the fact that he dares to make waves on the sea, it won't be a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

An Qing sighed, took out a small bag from her arms, and handed it to Zhao Wu'an: "If you are sleepy, eat one, sweet, no side effects." ”

Zhao Wu'an took it and gently rubbed it through the fabric, it should look like the sugar pill in An Qing's mouth. His heart warmed, nodded lightly, and did not say much.

After sitting with him for a while, An Qing was already yawning, and was driven back to the cabin by Zhao Wu'an to sleep. He sat alone in the bow of the boat, like a lonely boat, and looked a little deserted.

Unexpectedly, not long after An Qing left, another girl behind her coughed bluffingly, as if she wanted to scare him.

In addition to An Qing, there is only one girl on this boat. Zhao Wuan didn't reply, and said with a wry smile: "What?"

"I have a question for you. ”

Say. ”

"Are you willing to help deal with Lan Zhouzi because of that drawing, or because of me?" Duan Taoli asked cautiously.

Princess Valan, who has experienced strong winds and waves, can afford to put it down, and since Zhao Wuan has made up her mind with An Qing, she will never be entangled again.

It's just that it is clear that Jiuda Temple has only been separated for a short time, and in a blink of an eye, he and Zhao Wu'an took the same boat to the south, approaching their hometown of Valan. Looking back on the past fourteen years of ups and downs, Duan Taoli even felt that he was dreaming.

The sturdy bow of the ship cleaved the waves, and the blue water was shattered into thousands of pearls and jades, and smashed at Zhao Wu'an's feet. Duan Taoli stood behind him and looked at him, wearing a white robe and holding a red box, only feeling like an immortal.

Zhao Wu'an tapped the deck with his slender fingers and said lightly, "Both." I'm also curious about what kind of thing can make Li Huang pour out his family property. ”

Duan Taoli was stunned, "Didn't he say that it was the blueprint of the armory?"

Zhao Wu'an was noncommittal.

Duan Taoli frowned, unable to understand what he meant, and was meditating hard when a loud bang suddenly sounded from the side of the boat. The monstrous waves then rose to a height of two zhang, as if there were heavenly immortals standing on them.

In just an instant, Zhao Wu'an immediately grabbed the sword box and stood up, and before Duan Taoli could come to his senses, he jumped past her and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.

It's just that I didn't expect someone to be faster than him.

I don't know how long I dived underwater, my clothes were clinging to my body, my soaked hair hung like a broken reed, but my eyes looked like a wolf who wanted to choose someone to devour.

Chu Ting, the Greedy Demon Palace, caught up with them again in this vast sea.

However, before he could say hello to Zhao Wu'an a few times and taunt each other a few times, he fell to the ground one by one.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw that above the mast, the dark-skinned and withdrawn young man jumped down, raised a piece of purple silk in his hand, and tied his hands and feet strongly.

Zhao Wu'an blinked, but didn't react.

After waiting for a few days and nights, he really didn't want to stare at each other, but after thinking about it, he found that he actually had nothing to do.

This Xu Yanchen, at some point, put a rope on the side of the railing, and tied an iron ball weighing forty pounds at both ends. Chu Ting bit the knife and just climbed up from under the boat to show off his skills, and stepped on the rope in the first step.

Then his body staggered, thanks to years of cultivation, and his martial arts were good, but he couldn't wrestle, and after tossing for a while, he finally stood on the deck.

But then things are a little bit disgusting. As soon as the rope was loosened, the two iron balls that had been placed outside the railing immediately rolled off the boat and hung outside. Stabilizing his body had already made Chu Ting do his best, but now that he was dragged like this, he naturally fell and gnawed on the mud.

When Zhao Wu'an thought that he had arrived with lightning speed, Xu Yanchen, who was shrunk on the mast, had already jumped down and quickly tied up this inexperienced water thief.

Escorting Chu Ting, who had just boarded the ship, to the cabin, and letting him be whipped by everyone's curious and suspicious eyes, Zhao Wu'an quietly pulled Xu Yanchen aside.

"You seem to be very powerful, how did you catch Chu Ting just now?"

Xu Yanchen didn't seem to be used to this guest who had served for a long time being so enthusiastic about him all of a sudden, and he was a little restrained.

There is a way to have a ruler that is short and long, for these people with a skill, Zhao Wuan has always admired it, and he is also quite ashamed.

So even if he was casual by nature, he wanted to know how Xu Yanchen did this. If there is such a unique method like a prophet, he will not have to work hard to stick to it. Although the sword intent in the Luo Shen sword box is strong, it is also a fool's dream to envelop the entire merchant ship without much effort.

After looking at him in a daze for a long time, Xu Yanchen came back to his senses and said without thinking: "He wants to get on the boat, I have already found out." ”

"What!" Zhao Wu'an couldn't hide the look of shock on his face, "How can this be?"

"The splash on the fourth sail on the starboard side is higher than anywhere else. Xu Yanchen said lightly, "Take a walk and you can find out." It was already hard to keep up with the boat, and it was impossible for him to swim any further, so I tied the rope between the fourth and sixth sails and waited for him to take the bait. ”

Zhao Wu'an was dumbfounded.

After a while, he came back to his senses and sighed, and smiled bitterly at the young boatman who didn't hear a single one: "It's better to be ashamed." ”

Practice makes perfect, no matter how preoccupied Zhao Wu'an is, he is just a landlubber after all, and he doesn't know anything about the way of water flow.

These martial arts masters, two products and one product, what are the metaphysical creations, they are indeed in the limelight, and they are majestic. They may be able to make a river flow with their own hands, but it is difficult to guess from the flow of a small stream that the shore is in a hurry.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a moment, his heart was like walking late at night, and suddenly there was a little light and candle.

At the end of the day, it's okay to see more and think more, see more, or even think less. Zhao Wu'an admits that he is an enemy of others, and has always tried to outwit rather than strength, but he seems to have missed something extremely important. The master uses war to support the war, Zhao Wu'an is unwilling, but if he works behind closed doors, he may have to stay in the second grade realm for many more years.

The pinnacle master of the Creation Realm, when the Oriental Lian Desert is the first in the world today, is one person and one rusty knife, living alone in the Gobi Desert for ten years, not forming a house or farming, walking wildly in the Shuo Desert, and proudly walking in the Gobi, so as to have the status of the first today.

Three thousand avenues, after all, are all taken from the mountains and rivers of this world.

Seeing the clouds and seeing the sun, Zhao Wu'an seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind.
