There was a flash of cold light, and she thought she was going to die, but then she heard a bang, the sound of wood breaking, and the lancet pierced the wooden pillar next to her neck. Turning her head, she could only see the deep-cut handle of the knife.

, not a single sharp edge can be seen.

Konoha's back was turned to her, but his whole body was twitching in rage. You could see his clenched iron fists that were clattering and his muscles that were tense to the point of being made of stone. You could even see the veins boiling on the back of his hands.

The blood is about to flow out, and you can still see the tense side of her face that is burning - she is gnashing her teeth, wishing she could grind her bones to pieces!

But the anger finally subsided, and when Konoha faced her again, there was only a smile that was frozen into ice.

"I won't hurt you, but someone will - make your life worse than death."

Xue Hai's face was boiling with heat because of this, but the knot in her heart was half untied. She let out a breath and continued to laugh innocently. This time she felt really relaxed - for some unknown reason,

Although those eyes seemed to want to devour her at any time, Konoha did not dare to harm her for the time being. Maybe there was a bigger conspiracy. But no matter what the conspiracy was? Before landing, she was still in fear of her life.[

His big eyes flickered and blinked, and a series of ideas popped up.

"I'm hungry!"

"What?!"

"Hungry! If you're hungry, you're hungry!" she shouted.

"It's easy to starve to death!"

"If I starve to death and let my brother know, I won't cooperate with you!"

"You..." Konoha was almost mad at her.

"Hey! Just a little food, why are you being stingy? Also, I can't eat anything too dry, so I need something to drink, preferably hot. Also, I can't move since I'm tied up by you - why don't you feed me!"

There was a murderous aura in his eyes, but from Xue Hai's point of view, it was far inferior to Xie Junhe's demonic face. With such self-confidence, no matter how strong the murderous aura was, it was turned into a

Tan Shui. The only trick he has left is this "thick-skinned technique"!

He put away his knife and left the house, and within a moment he actually brought a basin with some snacks and a cup of steaming tea on it. The basin was placed at her feet, and he also untied the rope that bound her.

"Eat it yourself!"

Under his glare, Xuehai grinned, which could be regarded as a small victory. The first thing was to straighten her messy clothes - she didn't want to keep looking at Konoha in such an imageless way.

What danger will it really bring? The second thing is to eat it hard.

I was really hungry. Of course, the dim sum couldn't compare to Duan Shiyu's craftsmanship. But after all, there was plenty to eat. Ignoring my delicate image, I rolled up my sleeves and opened my arms to nibble on the pastry.

Konoha always frowned and didn't look at her.

Xue Hai simply finished eating, stretched out his waist, kicked his legs, and all the muscles and bones in his body seemed to have revived. However, the fragrance of purple ylang rose again, and a hint of cunning flashed at the corner of Konoha's mouth. He understood a little bit in his heart.

"Really, I'm feeling dizzy, I'm going to sleep! Don't disturb my dream!" He fell on his back, picked the right spot under the sack pile to block the wind, curled up and lay down - said

Just sleep.

He closed his eyes and snored sweetly.

Konoha stayed by her side for a long time. He sniffed here and there like a cunning hound for a while, and finally his eyes showed disappointment and resentment: "Stinky girl!" Then he had to go up the ladder and return to the deck of the ship.

Already.

Xue Hai was the only one left in the warehouse.

The footsteps on the deck gradually became lighter. However, a kind of psychedelic sleepiness also hit her immediately. She knew that it was the purple ylang stamen again, the frightening hallucinogen. She stood up and looked around.

, sack after sack of goods, seem to be some grain. There are still piles on the shelves.

There were long rolls of fabric tied up with ropes. Is there any place to hide? There was only a surprisingly small boat, just enough for one head to stick out. No wonder Konoha was so relieved that she was alone.

.There was nothing I could do, so I had to tiptoe toward the cabin door and listen.[

The sounds of people coming and going on the deck were very lively, and the sailors' small words were intertwined with each other - there were really a lot of people, and of course, this cargo ship was not small. The topics they discussed were all messy and confusing.

But one sentence stands out: "We're almost docking!"

Ashore? The snow sea was filled with joy. This was an opportunity - no wonder the crew were all active on the deck, and few people passed by outside the cabin door - everyone was busy! Even Konoha no longer seemed to care about her existence. Damn it.

At the time of landing, the pier was crowded with people, cars and boats, and if we didn't leave now, when would we wait? Xuehai tried his best to keep himself awake, waiting for the opportunity.

Finally, with the slight collision and shaking of the hull, the big ship came to the shore. The sound of the heavy anchor being lowered was intertwined with the shouts of the sailors, and a chaos boiled around her ears. The sound of heavy iron locks made her heart immediately lift.

It reaches the throat.

However, when Konoha opened the iron lock and carefully stepped into the cabin, he heard a "crash" sound of falling water, which was so sudden that his expression changed drastically.

In the darkness of the bilge, there was not a single figure. Only the extremely narrow boat was slowly glowing with light. Konoha ran to the front of the boat and paused deeply for a moment. Ripples were surging on the water, as if they were in circles.

Something heavy sank directly to the bottom of the water. Judging from the shape of the ripples, it made people think that it must be a person who fell.

How is this possible? Chu Xuehai can actually jump into the water from a small area the size of her head. Could it be that she knows the bone-shrinking technique?

There was a burst of rage, I didn’t believe it, I never believed it! Who didn’t know that Chu Xuehai didn’t know any martial arts? Konoha suddenly dumped the pile of goods to the other side. In the chaos of the warehouse, there was really no place to hide.

The sound of falling into the water alarmed several sailors, who looked down from above and asked, "What's going on?"

"The girl is missing. Interesting..." A cold smile spread on Konoha's face.

What?

The sailors were shocked and jumped up and down, almost causing a commotion on the ship: "Escaped? How is it possible? How could she escape from this birdcage-like place?"

"Chase, chase quickly!" they shouted crazily.

But Konoha suddenly jumped up and stood in front of the hatch, smiling horribly: "Why bother? Master Jiang didn't want to get his hands dirty. Someone will chase him, so don't worry."

"Can……"

"Inform Mr. Qi and ask him to come to the dock to find Chu Xuehai. I have no such leisure!"

"What's the meaning?"

"This is the north coast. Even if Chu Xuehai is extremely capable, there is no way he can swim back. This is enough."

No one understood his words, but only heard more shrill laughter, wildly filling the entire cabin, which was very strange. His bloody eyes like wild beasts were extremely aggressive, making the sailors shudder, as if

The smell of gunpowder smoke was already filling the air. It was terrible. Some people gradually realized that the situation was far more chaotic than expected.

"Let's set out at dawn and go to Bilianzhou." Konoha ordered: "According to what Master Jiang said, if anyone leaks the news about taking a detour to the north bank, the waves of the long river will be his burial place."

Everyone was silent.

What is Konoha's purpose in kidnapping Xuehai? This purpose seems to go far beyond ordinary resentment or cruelty.

Before dawn the next day, a note was placed on Chu Tao's desk, which read: The snow falls in the north and the ground is cold. There is no signature. This note was brought by a strange gray pigeon from the north coast. It fell

On the lattice of the study room, it was cooing. When Chu Tao took off the letter tube, the pigeon soared into the sky as if it had understood, leaving no trace.[

His face remained silent. Wang Hong asked him what was going on, but he did not answer.

"Miss, nothing will happen to her..." Wang Hong tried his best to comfort her.

Chu Tao smiled sadly: "The world has been turned upside down..." He pressed his heart. After the snow sea left, the continuous rain, dampness and cold made him unable to bear it. "Let everyone prepare for the worst...

…”

"The worst? What is it?" Wang Hong asked anxiously.

"I don't want this world to be bloody, but if someone insists on forcing me..."

Wang Hong was stunned and turned pale. But he couldn't wait for any more response from Chu Tao.

On this day, Chu Tao said nothing, locked himself in the study, and played a magnificent song "Ode of the Long River" over and over again. The torrent in the music was rushing in thousands of twists and turns,
Chapter completed!
