"Follow the fleet on the left!" Fan Feng said as he came to the bow of the ship and observed for a moment.
"Left!" Tang Hai shouted at the boatman.
"Are you sure?" asked Wang Lie.
"You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my professionalism!" Fan Feng said with his head held high.
"Okay, how do you see that? I looked, and the waterlines on both sides are about the same. Wang Lie asked suspiciously.
"The Cao Gang is a veteran, and they won't show their flaws in such a shallow place as the waterline. Fan Feng said, his eyes were full of pride, and continued: "I have been guarding against them long before I set off, and I have made secret notes on the loaded ships to ensure that I will not lose them!"
"No wonder!" Wang Lie and Tang Hai rolled their eyes, thinking that he had some unique secret, it turned out that he had made a mark in advance.
"What do you mean by that, it also takes a level to be able to make secret marks that won't be discovered!" Fan Feng said dissatisfiedly.
"Cut! I have at least ten ways to do this!" Tang Hai said disdainfully. He didn't say anything big, the Tang Sect was the best at these delicate little means, and it was not difficult for him to make a secret mark that could only be discovered by himself.
"So what, it's not up to me yet!" Fan Feng glared at him and said loudly.
"Alright, stop arguing, keep an eye on it, the ship in front of you will be out of sight. Wang Lie said.
They only delayed slightly, and the Cao Gang fleet in front of them was about to throw them out of sight, the waterways here are more complicated, and they will be lost if they are not careful.
"Don't worry, with me, I will never lose it!" Fan Feng said easily, and the person still ran to the cockpit to direct the shipwright. Tang Hai was bored and went along.
Wang Lie didn't go to join in the fun, and called Li Suning to practice on the deck.
"Ning'er, the ship is unstable, let's practice the 'Bafang Wind Rope' today. Wang Lie said to Li Suning.
"Senior brother, do you want to join me?" Li Suning said eagerly.
"Okay, come on, as long as you can fight me, you win. Wang Lie said with a smile, he hadn't played with Li Suning for a long time, and he didn't know how she was progressing.
"That's what you said!" Li Suning touched the silver whip on his waist, and a pair of small dimples appeared on his cheeks.
The words fell, a silver light appeared out of thin air, Wang Lie's eyes were full of flowers, the sound of the wind was already blowing, haha laughed, he exerted his strength under his feet, and the Qianshandu was shocked by him, and gently tilted to the left, with this oblique, Wang Lie's body avoided the whip.
Li Suning's body rotated half a circle along the shaking of the boat, his posture was natural and beautiful, his wrist moved, the whip momentum was endless, and the whip tip was like a spirit snake biting Wang Lie's throat.
"Okay!" Wang Lie shouted, tilted his head, and his body slid back half a foot in a half-leaning state, as if a pulley was installed under his feet.
Li Suning knew that it was not so easy to hit him, so he scolded lightly, making the north "Broad Desert Wind Style", and then the "Kaifeng Style", appearing in a row, with the footwork of his feet, one after another whip shadows surrounded Wang Lie from all directions.
Wang Lie didn't use Ling Bo's micro-step, only dodged Li Suning's whip in a small area, and often made a slight movement to dodge at the moment when the whip was about to hit him, the boat was not so smooth on the river, but the light skills of the two were extraordinary, and they were not affected at all.
After a meal, Li Suning used a trick "Melting Wind Style", the whip snapped twice in the air, she withdrew the whip, pursed her small mouth, and said: "If you don't fight, I can't hit you, it's boring!"
"Ning'er, your whipping technique has made a lot of progress recently," Wang Lie said with a smile, "I'm a little wolf when I parry." ”
"What's the use of progress, it's not the same that can't hit you. She said a little sullenly as she wrapped the silver whip around her waist.
"That's not the case, you're improving, senior brother, and I'm improving, and besides, you're still young, and I won't be able to escape your whip in two years. Wang Lie coaxed.
"I'm young again!" Li Suning muttered, "Isn't it just a few years younger than you?"
"Okay, Ning'er will be a big girl soon. Wang Lie suddenly, time is really fast, it has been almost a year since they left Xiaoyao Valley, Li Suning is a year older, I don't know what is the situation of Wuyazi and them, there should be no conflict.
"Hmph, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes. Li Suning turned his head and walked towards the cabin, and after only two steps, he began to jump, and his mood was obviously happy again.
Wang Liewaner, raised his right hand, I don't know where to find a flying knife, a few inches long flying knife danced between the five fingers of his right hand, he used the pen turning action of the later generations to exercise the flexibility of the fingers, but the difficulty is much more difficult than the later generations, the sharp blade will hurt the fingers if you are not careful, but Wang Lie has been quite proficient after practicing for a few days.
The days of tracking are relatively boring, they are two or three miles away from each other hanging the fleet of the Cao Gang, there is nothing to do during the day, Wang Lie in addition to playing chess with Li Suning, chatting with Tang Haifan Feng and bragging, occasionally when the interest comes, they will personally cook a delicious meal, several people completely regard this trip as a tour, and there is no tension in the fleet of the Cao Gang that they track.
"Host, I'm afraid there will be a storm tonight, do you think we should stop at the shore?" On the afternoon of this day, Wang Lie was lying on the deck blowing the wind, and the boatman Lao Xing came over and said. Lao Xing was the leader of several shipwrights he hired, with more than 30 years of sailing experience, and he was already planning to retire, but Wang Lie promised a lot of money before he agreed to take over this business.
"Storm?" Wang Lie sat up, puzzled.
"When I was young, I learned the ability to predict the weather by looking at clouds, and although I dare not say that it is right every time, I am 100% sure that there will be heavy rain in the evening in this rain cloud today. Lao Xing said with an oath.
"That's right. Wang Lie still trusts Lao Xing very much, and he has a little advantage that he can listen to the opinions of professionals, "Lao Xing, you go back first, I'll go to them to discuss and we are deciding." ”
Lao Xing nodded, turned around and went back to take care of the cockpit.
Wang Lie called Fan Feng and Tang Hai over, Li Suning didn't know what to do in the room, just tell him that they had something to discuss.
"Lao Xing told me just now that there might be a storm tonight, if we dock for a while, won't we follow the fleet of the Cao Gang?" Wang Lie said.
"It's going to be a loss of time. Fan Feng said: "The speed of the Cao Gang can go out more than 100 miles in one night, and I can't tell which waterway it will run to, and it will be difficult for us to catch up." ”
"But our boat can't withstand too much wind and waves, and it may not be safe to go through the rain. Wang Lie expressed Lao Xing's opinion.
"Look, there's a ravine ahead, and at the current speed of the boats, the boats of the Cao Gang will be able to get there at night, and if there is a storm, they won't risk going to get there. Tang Hai pointed to the map and said, the water speed of the canyon is fast, the channel is complicated, and it is too close to the two sides of the bank to cause problems.
"We can't say for sure what they're doing, otherwise, we'll let Lao Xing slow down the boat and sail to the shore, if the wind and waves are too strong, we'll dock, and if we can bear it, we'll continue to follow." If it really doesn't work, it will be providential to lose it in the end. Wang Lie said. They have been secretly escorting the ship for a while, and if there is no way to lose it, it will be fine, and they can't let everyone on this boat risk their lives.
"That's the only way, it's a big deal I'll chase along the coast tomorrow morning!" Fan Feng said.
Wang Lie called Lao Xing and told him of this decision, and Lao Xing agreed without any opinion, it was not too much wind and waves, and in his experience, there was not much danger in sailing at night.
