get on board

The dock is not quiet at night either. The boatmen are noisy, the sailors are noisy, and the dock workers are also shouting, which makes people who like silence not want to stop for a moment.

Nazhi was in this state. From birth to now, the noisiest thing she had experienced was just a banquet. It was hard to accept the loud slogans at the dock and port for a while.

The people who work here are very demanding.

She also had to raise her voice when speaking to be heard by the people around her.

"Where is our ship?"

She asked the man who didn't care about his clothes. He was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

Zuo Lan stopped and looked at the ships moored on the pier. A five-sail ship was entering the harbor, and the sailors were laying out the cables.

Since his gaze was fixed on that ship, Nazhi's eyes followed suit, pointing and asking: "That one?"

The sleeves of the clothes were wider, so when she stretched out her hand, others could only see her index finger.

Zuo Lan transferred the suitcase to his other hand and walked towards the ship entering the port.

When they walked under the boat, short Wu Peng was waiting there.

The two grown men hugged each other. Wu Peng narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the man who was following him. Without asking any questions, he just took the lead to the nearby dock.

Nazhi was very interested in everything, especially when he saw the ship being built in the dock. It was a warship, and the workers were hoisting artillery pieces to the warship.

Parked next to the warship is a small sampan that can only accommodate three people.

Wu Peng was the first to get off the sampan and motioned for the two of them to follow.

Zuo Lan first handed the suitcase to Wu Peng, and then slowly got on the boat. Then, he stretched out his hands towards the branch that had not yet boarded the boat.

Nazhi knew a little bit of common sense, and she asked Zuo Lan doubtfully: "Are you sure it's safe to go into the sea with this?"

Wu Peng frowned. He looked at Zuo Lan half puzzled and half angry. He really couldn't understand why he brought a woman here.

Despite all the doubts, he was still carried on board the ship obediently.

After helping Nazhi sit up, Zuo Lan returned a reassuring look to Wu Peng.

Wu Peng shook his head and handed Zuo Lan a pair of oars.

"Let's set off!"

Zuo Lan announced boldly, and the two men loosened the cable. It was impossible for such a small boat to have an anchor, and they could only leave their fate to the wind and waves at sea.

The sampan was pushed away and sailed out of the dock very slowly.

From the moment they left the dock until they rounded the bend and entered the shallow water, several people didn't say a word. They could only hear the sound of the wind and the sound of the oars sweeping across the sea.

After rowing along the coast for a while, the men changed their direction and pointed the bow of the boat deeper into the sea.

Now Zuo Lan was rowing alone, and Wu Peng lit the oil lamp on the bow of the boat, and then said: "We expected it right, the Lucky Princess is going to be auctioned, we should be able to take this cursed ship, I don't

I believe these people will be interested in such a ship."

Nazhi asked doubtfully: "What on earth are you going to do?"

Wu Peng looked at that one indifferently, and then stared at Zuo Lan: "Did you tell her nothing? Also, who is this woman? Why did you bring a woman out?"

"Let's not talk about it for now." Zuo Lan put down the oar and took out the suitcase, "It doesn't matter if there is competition, but I want to be sure. Is that boat really that important to you?"

Wu Peng nodded undeniably and solemnly assured: "It is very important. It is a Taihui cruiser. If something like this is not a special situation, do you think it will be put up for auction?"

"But I heard that only a shell of the ship is left, and the weapons system has been completely dismantled."

"You only know part of it." Wu Peng smiled mysteriously, "The external claim is that it only retains its basic functions, but in fact, this ghost ship, which often kills people, has not disassembled its weapons. The version I heard is this

Yes, this ship was forcibly decommissioned after serving for a year and a half and has been used as a museum. However, some people still died mysteriously. Because of this, no one dared to preserve anything on this ship. The ship was intact.

"

Hearing this, Nazhi blurted out an exclamation: "You want to buy Taihui's warship! Why? Aren't you afraid of being arrested?"

"Can you..." Wu Peng was stunned midway through his words. He looked at Na Zhi's pretty face carefully and immediately recognized who this person was.

He stared at Zuo Lan fiercely and said coldly: "Is there something wrong with your brain? Have you forgotten what you said at the beginning? I don't care, you are responsible for anything that goes wrong."

After saying this, Wu Peng ignored the other two people and rowed with his head in his arms.

Zuo Lan showed an embarrassed apologetic smile and explained for himself: "I can't help it, I don't want to do this, but I can't control myself."

Wu Peng snorted coldly and continued rowing.

Na Zhi felt uncomfortable at being so unwelcome. She especially wanted to show her determination, but when she saw Wu Peng's cold attitude, her throat choked up.

At this time, Zuo Lan reached out and opened the suitcase in front of Na Zhi.

With the help of the light of the oil lamp, the inside of the box was glowing, and the gold coins were flashing all over the box.

He grabbed a handful of gold coins and let go, letting the gold coins clatter back into the box. The crisp sound of the gold coins colliding was particularly touching.

Nazhi sighed: "Oh my God, did you rob the inn?"

Nazhi's family is rich, but she has never seen so many gold coins appear at the same time. This is something that only ministers related to minting and finance can see.

The sampan sailed to the inland sea. The sea here was not as calm as the shore. The hull of the boat was swayed from side to side by small waves. Nazhi, who had never been on a boat before, was lying on the bow of the boat. She was seasick.

The deeper we went, the more violently the ship shook. There was a sail on the sampan, but no one dared to raise it for fear of being blown over by a sudden strong wind.

Na Zhi endured the pain of seasickness. On the endless sea, this small sampan felt extremely lonely.

After an unknown amount of time, a huge creature blocked the small sampan without any warning, only a dozen meters away.

The two men tried hard to keep the sampan at the same level as the behemoth, and the hull of the boat was close to the big ship.

The branch raised its head in pain, and she strained to raise her neck to see the whole hull of the big ship, even though it was just an outline.

Wu Peng picked up the oil lamp and shook it, and the lights on the top of the big ship in front also flickered.

The sailor shouted to the sampan below: "Ticket!"

"Three!"

"Wait!"

A hanging basket hung down from the big ship. Zuo Lan supported the branch on the hanging basket, and the three people transferred from the small sampan to the big ship.

As soon as they regained their footing, several sailors pointed guns at them.

Zuo Lan quickly took out three cards and shook them.

The boatswain took the card and read it carefully, then announced to his men: "Search."

Hearing the search, Nazhi took a step back. This action attracted the boatswain's attention.

When the boatswain walked up to the branch, Zuo Lan stopped it with his arm and said slowly: "Woman."

The boatswain looked coldly at Zuo Lan, who took out a few gold coins from his suitcase and handed them over, and said, "Be merciful."

Taking the gold coin, the boatswain fumbled around on the branch casually, then shook his head slightly to let it go.

After the search was over and it was determined that no one was carrying weapons, a sailor came forward and put masks on several people.

"Come with me."

The boatswain waved his hand and led the three people off the side of the ship and onto the deck.

The ship was really big, and it took several people a few minutes to reach their destination, which was a dormitory in the warehouse.

The boatswain opened the door to the dormitory and introduced some instructions: "This is a room for two people. You can sleep tonight and have free activities tomorrow. However, you are not allowed to enter the ship building. You can also ask for another room, provided that

Spend a boat ticket.”

Zuo Lan decisively handed over the last ticket, and the boatswain nodded and stood there.

A strange scene happened, and all four people stopped making any further movements.

Until the boatswain asked impatiently: "Which one of you is coming with me?"

Zuo Lan looked at the branch next to him that was in extremely bad condition, and then looked at Wu Peng.

Wu Peng's expression changed immediately. He never imagined that he was the one who was isolated, but he was also isolated and had no temper.
