"Miss, are we going back to the ship?" Yun Lai asked while collecting his things when he saw his lady coming over.
"There are too many people. If we take shelter from the rain, we can't accommodate many people on the boat. Why not take shelter on this island?"
Ye Yining felt that the stone she had just chosen, with a little shelter on top, could accommodate two or three people to shelter from the rain.
At this time, Ye Hanxiao hurried over.
"Ning'er, it's going to rain heavily. You guys should get back to the boat quickly!"
"Aren't you going to take shelter from the rain on the island?" Ye Yining looked at the dark sky again.
"I'm afraid that if the rain is too heavy, the island will be submerged in water soon. By then, the island will be full of rocks, and the boat will be in more trouble. We may have to hurry up and get on our way before the rain falls."
"Let's go then!" Ye Yining no longer hesitated and immediately followed her elder brother.
After everyone got on the boat, Jun Jiuji also came back.
"The ship is heading north. Hurry up and hurry up." Jun Jiuji gave the order and entered the ship.
"Why are you going north this time?" Ye Yining asked curiously.
Jun Jiuji sat down next to her and said softly: "There is a canyon about an hour north by boat. There may be a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
Ye Yining was slightly surprised. In such a short time, had Jun Jiuji already checked north?
However, she didn't ask any more questions, but asked Yun Lai to bring her small stove over and start cooking food.
I just hope that this rain can wait until they get to the canyon before it starts raining again.
But in fact, less than half an hour after their boat sailed north, the rain began to fall.
Despite this, Jun Jiuji did not ask everyone to stop, but speeded up the boat.
By the time they arrived at the naturally formed canyon, the rain was already as heavy as the sea water, and the wind was howling.
Ye Yining's boat took shelter from the wind in the canyon, but the boat was still shaking violently.
Except for those who stayed in the cabin, everyone else had already become drowned.
The only good thing is that at this hour of sailing, everyone has eaten enough on the way, and they are all practicing. A little rain will not make them sick immediately.
As the wind got stronger and stronger, Ye Yining felt a little uncomfortable being shaken by the boat and almost felt like vomiting.
She quickly asked the pharmacy to prepare an anti-fainting and anti-vomiting medicine for her.
Before she could take out the medicine, Jun Jiuji hugged her into his arms and gently stroked her back.
The next moment, Ye Yining found that there was a warm force flowing into her body along her vest. Then, she found that she was no longer dizzy and did not want to vomit.
She raised her eyes to look at Jun Jiuji and asked curiously: "What did you do?"
"Just stabilize your mind, close your eyes and rest for a while." Jun Jiuji coaxed softly.
Ye Yining obviously didn't want to rest, but she felt that the aura on Jun Jiuji's body was very stable. Being held by him, the rocking of the boat was like a cradle for a baby to sleep, as if to lull someone to sleep.
Not long after, Ye Yining closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Jun Jiuji looked at the little girl sleeping in her arms, lowered her head and kissed her on the forehead, and then looked outside at the dark, gloomy, and rainy sky.
It seems that this rain will last for a long time.
…
On the other side, under the storm, there were several ships struggling to survive in the rain.
Suddenly, a hurricane blew, and the boat the prince and Su Yuer were in suddenly turned over, and everyone fell into the water.
The next to suffer was the ship of the Third Prince and the ship of the Prince of Xiliang.
While everyone was busy saving themselves, the body of the Xiliang Imperial Master sank to the bottom of the water without any sign of resistance for some unknown reason.
When everyone worked together to overturn the sunken ship and climbed on board again, the Prince of Xiliang panicked.
"National Preceptor? Where is the Imperial Preceptor? Hurry and find the Imperial Preceptor."
Although he had some complaints against the Imperial Preceptor along the way, he still relied on the Imperial Preceptor very much.
But now, everyone who is weaker than the Imperial Master is here, but the Imperial Master is no longer there.
It was obvious that something had happened to the Imperial Master.
The people in Xiliang were on their backs and looking for someone in the rain. Su Yu'er, who had been missing in the water for a while, was also carried onto the boat by a guard.
However, she fainted as soon as she got on the boat.
It rained all day and all night, which made everyone suffer.
At noon the next day, the weather cleared up and the body of Xiliang Imperial Master was also found.
However, the prince of Xiliang never thought that the imperial master was not drowned but murdered.
Because, there is a bloody hole in the heart of the Imperial Master, similar to an arrow wound.
So, who killed the Imperial Master?
The prince of Xiliang's face darkened, and he looked at the ships that had sailed away in front of him with an ugly expression.
"Your Highness, the Nanyin Kingdom's ship was further behind and had no chance of getting close to us. The person who killed the Imperial Master was either the Prince of Beihan Kingdom or the Third Prince..." the guard said as he recalled.
The Prince of Xiliang pondered for a while and then said: "Protect the Imperial Master's body well, and we will send the Imperial Master back to Xiliang as soon as possible to examine the cause of the Imperial Master's death."
"yes……"
…
At the same time, Ye Yining's boat had left the canyon and continued on their way.
The boat drove along the canyon for two hours, but the water unexpectedly merged into a vast ocean.
For a moment, everyone was confused about the direction, and the boat had to stop.
But soon, they were lucky enough to find a fishing boat. Following the fishing boat, Ye Yining and the others arrived at a small fishing village near the sea when it was getting dark.
Coincidentally, they actually met the crown prince of Dong Chu here.
When the crown prince of the Eastern Chu Kingdom saw King Ji and the others, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his previous arrogance and alienation completely disappeared.
Before they could ask, he quickly explained the situation here.
"King Ji, everything in this fishing village is weird. They all seem to be mute and don't answer any questions. They have extremely high martial arts skills and are very cruel. We just asked about the situation, but they came up and attacked. I lost more than a dozen people.
... Also, my people discovered that the fish they caught were eaten raw. It seems that there is only this village nearby, and we can't find any other way out from here..."
The most depressing thing for Prince Dong Chu was that he thought he was going to be saved, but instead he was trapped in this weird little fishing village, with dozens of guards around him dead.
After hearing this, King Ji pondered for a moment, "Yeze, take two people to take a look first. If you can't help it, don't do it."
It is possible for one or two people to be mute, but it is also impossible for the entire fishing village to be mute.
"Yes." Ye Ze quickly led the two people away.
Ye Yining looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a fishing boat in the distance.
That fishing boat was the one that guided them in the sea and rescued them in disguise. However, when they all arrived, they didn't see anyone getting off the boat.
After thinking about it, she gently pulled Jun Jiuji's sleeve and said, "The owner of that ship probably saved us. Should we go and thank him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Prince Dongchu said excitedly: "Don't go. We came to this place because we saw the ship and were guided here. But in fact, there was no one on the ship at all.
Man, that’s a ghost ship.”
"No? No one?"
Ye Yining's face was full of shock and disbelief.
"If you don't believe it, just go and see it!"
If he hadn't seen it himself, Prince Dongchu wouldn't believe it.
How does a ship sail without a person at the helm?
Because of this, he felt that everything in this small fishing village was weird.
