Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Search for the Blue Goose Boat
Duan Qianqiu pointed to the Qingyan Boat and said to the crossbowman on the battleship: "The arrow has a long rope on it, can it be shot on the side of the ship over there?"
The crossbowman who was guarding next to the largest and strongest crossbow on the ship said, "No problem. ”
The crossbow's giant bow shot two spears and arrows one after another, and plunged them straight into the side of the Qingyan boat with two long ropes, and the long ropes dangled and trembled between the two boats.
Duan Qianqiu knew that if he wanted to go over to the ship's plank, he would inevitably reveal his martial arts, and before he did it, he was reluctant to do so, because he felt that it was better to hide his true strength around Cai Liancheng, so as not to arouse suspicion.
But after so many days of investigation, he found that he couldn't sneak into Wei Dezhao's mansion at all, because the defense was too strict, and he himself was only a small captain of the Cao Wei battalion, and he didn't even have the qualifications to enter and leave Wei Mansion openly.
However, the black jade blood ginseng is now in Wei Dezhao's mansion, because for the convenience of the trial, Cai Liancheng and Qin Shiyao both lived in the Wei mansion, and Bi Baicao naturally followed, Duan Qianqiu watched him enter with the porcelain basin of black jade blood ginseng.
If you want to get black jade blood ginseng, one is to rob it, and the other is to steal it. If you want to be in a place where there are nearly a hundred masters watching, it is almost impossible to grab the black jade blood ginseng, Duan Qianqiu weighed it, and felt that it was more reliable to steal!
But if he wants to steal, he must also sneak into the Wei Mansion before he can succeed, with his current identity, without increasing his exposure and presence, it is impossible for the Wei Mansion to let him enter and exit freely.
Therefore, when Zhang Pu told him today to save the princess together, he showed unprecedented enthusiasm, because he wanted to make meritorious contributions, and only after meritorious service could he ascend to the throne, and only then could he get close to the center of the Wei Mansion, and only then could he have the opportunity to steal the black jade blood ginseng.
The long rope was ready, and when Zhang Pu asked him how many more people he needed, Duan Qianqiu said that he was enough alone.
Zhang Pu was a little surprised, Duan Qianqiu smiled and said: "I'm not going to fight, it's useless if there are too many people, just to reconnoiter the situation of the opposite ship, if there is anything abnormal, I will send a signal, and the eldest brother will bring people over." Now that there are returning corpses in the river, the eldest brother has to deal with them more energy, so don't let too many returning corpses climb into that boat. ”
Zhang Pu said: "Brother is right, I will attack with fire oil and see if we can make these monsters retreat." ”
Duan Qianqiu nodded in appreciation: "Big brother is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he has the talent to lead the army. I don't see these monsters with good eyesight, but they are extremely sensitive to sounds, so the eldest brother can send a ship to ring the gong to lure these rejuvenated corpses into the distance, and then use fire attacks. This relieves the stress here. ”
Zhang Pu said: "Later, I will send the Sea Whale to lure them away, the Sea Whale ship is high, and it is more difficult for the soul corpse to jump on the deck, and this ship is led by Zhao Mingchuan, and the sailors are well-trained, so they can be shot with bows and arrows while luring them away." It's just that the Reincarnates move fast, and our arrows are hard to hit. Brother, don't worry, I'll deal with the situation here, and you must find the princess when you get on the boat, otherwise our whole camp will be unlucky." ”
In order not to hinder the action, Duan Qianqiu took off the armor of the Cao Wei Battalion, only carried a long knife on his back, jumped up from the deck, and landed on the two ropes, the ropes bounced up under the force, Duan Qianqiu flew up again, his body was fast and dashing, as fast as an eagle harrier, and the two took off and landed, and they arrived on the deck of the Qingyan Boat.
There was a cheer in the Cao camp, which for a while overshadowed the sound of fighting with the returning corpses on the battlefield.
Duan Qianqiu turned around and glanced at the warships of the Cao camp, and saw that the officers and soldiers of all the ships had already organized an effective attack, and were methodically using various weapons to eliminate the Returning Soul Corpse, and the Returning Soul Corpse did not seem to have much desire to attack, but kept swimming in the river, so the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
There were more than twenty corpses at the front of the deck of the Qingyan Boat, most of them were guards of the Imperial Palace's Northern Guard Zuo Yulin Army wearing black armor and red battle robes, and a few were rejuvenated corpses with severed heads.
The entire deck was littered with discarded broken weapons, and shattered ship boards and shields. It seems that the battle is very fierce!
Duan Qianqiu quickly searched the deck silently, and there was nothing alive except for the corpse.
The Qingyan Boat is a building ship, and after going up the gangway on the lower deck, there are two more floors.
Duan Qianqiu went straight up to the highest floor, but saw that the situation was as tragic as the deck on the lowest floor, and it was also full of corpses of the Yulin Army. There was also a rejuvenated corpse that was cut off by the waist, and the upper body of the upper body was struggling and crawling on the deck, and when he saw Duan Qianqiu, he made a hoarse hissing sound from his mouth, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
Duan Qianqiu unleashed the long knife and squeezed it from the mouth of the returning corpse, and the returning corpse was killed immediately.
The door of the cabin was broken and stuck very tightly, and Duan Qianqiu didn't dare to break in, so he used a long knife to pry open the wooden door and enter inside.
Inside the door was a large independent cabin, and although the room had been destroyed by a fierce fight, the delicate and meticulous decoration remained, and there were many ancient books scattered all over the room. The tassels of the tent curtain, the bronze mirror makeup, are all inlaid with luxury, at a glance you know that it is a palace thing, and there are still clothes worn by the girl on the bed, even though there is a faint fragrance in the heavy smell of blood.
"This is probably the princess's boudoir, right?, but where have the people gone?" Duan Qianqiu carefully searched the room, but found nothing, so he withdrew from the cabin.
Next, in the cabin on the same floor, there is another larger room, the layout in the room is the same as the previous princess boudoir, but the decoration is simpler, and there is a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
Duan Qianqiu thought to himself, "Maybe it's also something that the princess lost in a hurry, right?" and took it into his arms.
The first deck was searched, but there was still no one there, and the smell of death on the deck was a choking fishy smell.
The building ship is divided into three floors above the deck, and the lower two floors should be the residence of the Yulin Army's guards, Duan Qianqiu searched all the way in order, and couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, because the entire ship seemed to have become dead.
The last hope left is the bilge below deck.
Half of the bilge was used to store food and water, and half was used for shipwrights and sailors.
Duan Qianqiu lifted the hatch cover, only to see that it was pitch black inside, and he walked down the wooden gangway, the ladder had been loosened in some places because of the frequent stepping on it, so it made a squeaky sound.
The squeaking sound was particularly loud in the silent darkness, but Duan Qianqiu heard more than that, because a familiar voice came from the darkness again.
The resurrected corpse seems to be hissing from the chest!
Duan Qianqiu immediately stopped, he felt the breath of death of the soul returning corpse, but at the same time, he also felt the breath of the living!
There are still living people in the bilge!
Duan Qianqiu condensed his luck and went down the stairs lightly. The stairs were silent, and the revived corpses were silent.
The further down he went, the more Yin Qianqiu felt that the yin qi was compelling, as if he was walking towards Senluo Hell step by step.
At this time, he could already clearly feel the breath of five people, and even in the dark, his eyes had strong night vision.
The bilge was divided into two compartments, one for the storage of grain and water, and the other for the residence of the boatmen and sailors and the place of the oars.
A large hole had now been made in the port side of the bilge, and the entire ship was stuck in the reef, and the hull was tilted towards the side of the sailor's quarters. So water poured in from the hole and soaked the sailors' quarters.
Luckily, it was low tide and the boat was stuck on the reef half-overhang, so the water didn't completely fill the bilge, leaving a small amount of space.
Now there are five people in this space.
The bilge was extremely dark, and Duan Qianqiu couldn't see the faces of these five people, but he couldn't speak, because he also saw dozens of rejuvenated corpses swimming in from the cracks in the hull, crouching in the water like frogs, waiting to pounce on the place where there was a sound.
So Duan Qianqiu decided to light up the fire fold.
And as it turned out, his decision was an adventure!
