Chapter 11: The Mysterious Life Experience, the Master of Dongying (9)
Half an hour later, the strength of the heroes had recovered, and Nangong Yu calculated: "The Dongying people shouldn't have gone far yet, and they can't let them escape after killing them." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shen Jun echoed: "That's right, that man's dress is so conspicuous, someone will know if you ask along the way, not to mention that he is still injured, are we afraid that we won't be able to catch up on horseback." Xiao Yunxi said: "I am willing to go together." Zhu Xinqi and Yan Moyu said in unison: "I'll go too!" and five other dart masters asked for help, vowing to avenge Huang Kaishi. Xiao Yunxi said: "It's just us people, it's not helpful to go too much." ”
There were horses in the dart board, and the group galloped out of the dart board, inquiring along the road, and sure enough, many pedestrians saw the whereabouts of Dongying and the two, and they followed the instructions out of the north gate and went all the way to the north. After chasing out a section, I met pedestrians, and learned that Dongying and the two also had horses, and chased them to the Yangtze River.
The river is vast, and the wharf is full of boats, including fishing boats, cargo ships, and passenger ships. Merchants of all kinds were busy, with fishermen and porters being the most numerous, and travelers boarding passenger ships in droves. Shen Jun scolded: "Damn, how can you find so many boats." Xiao Yunxi said: "It seems that the Dongying people have already thought of a way to retreat before they come, and they can catch up with them sooner or later on land, but as long as they miss a ship, they will flee." Nangong Yu said: "Hideko's scheming and resourcefulness cannot be underestimated, she is even more terrifying than Niwa Changten." Zhu Xinqi said fiercely: "I want to teach her." Nangong Yu knew that she was annoyed that Xiuzi was being held hostage, and said: "First of all, we have to determine their escape plan first, whether they really want to take a boat, or whether they want to trick us away and secretly Chen Cang." ”
Xiao Yunxi said: "What Brother Nangong said is that if it were me, I would do the same, hide in the dark and wait for us to leave before getting on the boat and leaving." Nangong Yu said: "That is to say, as long as we don't leave, they won't act." Because they want to spy on us, their hiding place won't be too far away from us. As he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to the small grove on the right. Shen Jun said: "They are hiding in the forest, go in and search?" Nangong Yu said: "Don't alarm them first, let's pretend to search on the dock first, and then pretend to withdraw, and I will go up the tree to investigate, and after seeing which ship they got on, we will catch turtles in the urn, so that they have no way to escape." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, inquired on the dock at the moment, and pretended to return. Nangong Yu took the opportunity to climb a big tree and hid it, and the others were hiding five hundred zhang away, waiting for his news. Nangong Yu's view from above is excellent, and any passengers on board and ships departing from the port can be seen.
But until dusk, there was no trace of the Dongying people, and he wondered in his heart, could it be a mistake in judgment? At this time, the last large passenger ship slowly sailed away from the dock, and the passengers were eating in the cabin, and there was no one on the deck. Suddenly, two black shadows burst out of the trees, rushed to the dock, jumped up on the deck, flashed to the mast and disappeared. Nangong Yu recognized that it was Dongying and the two, jumped off the tree with a roar, and rushed to the dock with a roar. He chartered a medium-sized fishing boat, and when everyone arrived, the boatmen swayed and flew together, and after a while they caught up with the passenger boat, and the group jumped onto the deck.
One of the sailors passing by the deck was startled when he saw them flying aboard, and asked, "You... Are you here to rub the boat? Nangong Yu didn't want to frighten them, and said: "We missed the hour and almost didn't catch the boat, don't blame the little brother, where can I make up the ticket." The sailor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see, come with me." At that moment, everyone made up the ticket to the boss of the ship, arranged a warehouse, and found out that the destination of the ship was Songjiang Mansion, which was across the sea from Dongying, and it was much easier to escape.
At this time, the passengers were all dining on the second floor of the ship, and Nangong Yu and the others took the opportunity to check all the cabins and the entire ground floor, but they did not find Dongying and the two, and they were all surprised. Nangong Yu recalled the scene when Dongying and the two got on the boat, vaguely remembered that they changed into different clothes, and remembered that Xiuzi had pretended to be Tian Xiu, and suddenly said: "I understand, they want to be confused." Xiao Yunxi said: "How can you mix up the pearls?" Nangong Yu said: "Xiuzi is proficient in the art of disguise, she can turn herself into another person, and now she and Niwa Nagato must be another face." Shen Jun said: "That means that they are not under the cabin at all, but eat with everyone on the ship." Xiao Yunxi said: "Then let's go up and have a look." ”
At this time, most of the guests finished their meal and came to the deck to enjoy the view. Nangong Yu and the others looked at everyone carefully, a total of forty or fifty men, women, and children, and after reading it, they didn't find any suspicions.
The passenger ship went down the east of the river, and the city of Nanjing in the distance slowly passed in front of them, and after a while, it entered the suburbs. The passengers walked down the cabin one after another to rest, and Nangong Yu found that they all had their own cabins, and no one was left alone. This time something was wrong, and everyone couldn't figure out why, so they gathered in a cabin to discuss.
A dart master surnamed Zhang said: "The sun will set soon, if they jump into the river at night to escape, we have no way at all." Another dart master surnamed Wang said: "I will immediately tell the captain of the ship what happened, and let the sailors cooperate with us to check the passengers one by one." The others also said a few thoughts, and Nangong Yu, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I think Xiuzi will not only not escape, but will deal with us, she is good at disguise, and she is also very clever in pretending to be others, she is quite confident in this, and she will definitely use this opportunity to take revenge on us." Shen Jun said: "Yes, she did this once last time." Xiao Yunxi nodded and said: "Since she is so competitive, then we still have a chance, but everyone should be careful and try not to be alone." Nangong Yu added: "In addition, don't eat or drink the things on the boat, if you are thirsty, you can eat the Yangtze River water, and if you are hungry, bear with it first." ”
Zhu Xinqi frowned and said, "What if they don't show up?" Do you want to be hungry all the way? Can we take the initiative to find them?" Xiao Yunxi said: "Of course you have to find them, but you have to do it in secret, just me, Brother Nangong, and Brother Shen are in charge of the night patrol, you go back to rest, don't come out at night." Zhu Xinqi said: "I'm not afraid of them, I want to be with you." Xiao Yunxi said: "This... Brother Nangong, look at it. Nangong Yu smiled: "Then let's be together." Yan Mo said: "Then I can't be idle, and I'll follow you." Xiao Yunxi agreed with a wry smile.
After the dart masters returned to the house to rest, the five of them divided the work to keep vigil, Nangong Yu and Zhu Xinqi guarded the bow, Xiao Yunxi and Yan Moyu guarded the stern, and Shen Jun guarded the cabin.
