The man looked around and saw that the armored soldiers in the cabin were motionless, as if they had turned into statues. Except for occasionally when they passed the waves, they would move slightly. At other times, they stood still and did not drink water.
Didn't eat, let alone talk or laugh.
The man swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, the boat doesn't draft."
Xu Xilou was stunned for a moment and didn't come back to his senses. No water? How could it be possible? Although there was no cargo on the ship, there were more than a hundred living people on board. The weight was over 10,000 kilograms, which was no lighter than delivering goods. How could it be possible?
No water!
But the man is cautious. If he says he doesn’t draft, it’s very likely that he really doesn’t. Xu Xilou quickly lay down on the bow of the boat and looked down. This sight almost scared him. The boat really didn’t draft! Now the bottom of the boat is drafty.
It clearly looks like an empty ship. It is probably heavier than an empty ship, but far less than the weight of more than a hundred people combined.
A chill ran along his back and touched the top of his head. Xu Xilou's liver and gallbladder were split. He didn't dare to think about whether the armored soldiers on the ship were humans or ghosts. He took a strong breath and lowered his voice and said: "Let the brothers grow up."
Just blink, don’t look, tell, don’t ask, just pretend you don’t know anything, do you understand?”
"Yes." The man turned and left. Xu Xilou turned around stiffly, no longer looking at the armored knights in the cabin. When he touched his back, he found that it was all wet.
Besides this man, Fengli was also the one who discovered that the boat was not drafty. Of course, she did not ask Li Luo, but was the first to tell Gu Lianglei. Gulianglei was also stunned, then pondered for a moment, and told Fengli not to tell anyone.
Fengli nodded and agreed. She didn't intend to make a big show of it, but just asked the lady to be careful. Something must have happened to him after he came back from Luye Naga. Maybe it was a good thing, maybe it was a bad thing. Just be careful and you won't make a big mistake.
It was nearly an hour before dawn, and the ship had already arrived at Yanhuixing. After the sun rose, Xu Xilou wanted to see if there were any changes in the armored ghost soldiers on the ship. Unexpectedly, these soldiers were not afraid of the morning light at all, and there was nothing under their feet.
There were shadows everywhere, which really surprised him, but he felt much calmer. He had not slept all night last night and was worried. This meeting was really difficult and unbearable. He told everyone in the Xu family to be careful and go back to the cabin to take a nap.
Li Luo slept for a while last night. In the early morning, he boarded the bow of the boat and looked into the distance. The wind came up in the early hours of last night and swept the lake clean. Yinghu Mountain was in the middle of the lake in the distance. The mountains were endless, high and low.
The lower and highest peak can be seen from the lakeside when the weather is better. It towers into the clouds. Halfway up the mountain, there are auspicious clouds hanging upside down, cranes spreading their wings, overlooking the green mountains and green lakes. It is originally a blessed place for immortals, but it is a pity that
This group of water pirates was allowed to pollute this place.
It was calm during the day, and the formerly busy Jinghu Lake was so calm that it was almost in a depression. There were no fishing boats or merchant ships, only passing chaffinches skimming the water. Occasionally they would settle down in the reed swamps and look curiously at the more than 20 large ships hiding here.
Bored, Fengli found a fishing rod from nowhere and fished boredly. After taking the bait, he untied the fish and threw it into the water. I don’t know if it was because she was lucky or because the fish in Jinghu Lake were hungry.
It was amazing. In half an hour, she caught six or seven big fish one after another, and she never tired of it. Other than that, there was no movement at all, and it was as quiet as a ghost.
Until the sun went down, except for a few small boats far away from the shore, they passed by the lake, but no one dared to go deep into the center of the lake. They only cautiously showed their heads on the near shore, and then hurried back to the shore.
, for fear of running into the water pirates in Yinghu Mountain.
At night, the ship sailed out of Yanhui. The sailors gathered all their strength and flew towards Yinghu Mountain like arrows. The closer they got to Yinghu Mountain, the more nervous Xu Xilou became, for fear of encountering water pirates. The Xu family's ship was not bigger than the big one.
Gan Shui Division mostly carries cargo. Although it has some bows and crossbows, it can deal with ordinary water thieves, but it is hard to say that the group of thieves who hit Yinghu Mountain are hard to say. Fortunately, these water bandits don't have many serious warships.
Some of them were boats hijacked from passing boat merchants or villages and slightly modified. After all, they were not as good as naval warships. In terms of speed alone, Xu Xilou was confident that the Xu family's boats would not lose to them.
The ferry at the foot of Yinghu Mountain is guarded by water bandits' eyes and ears. It is difficult for any ship to escape from their eyes and ears. Su Tan'er led another road, which is not a ferry, but a more than ten feet high
On the cliff, there is only one waterway that can avoid the rocks and reach the bottom of the cliff, which is extremely dangerous. There is a cave there that leads to the top of the cliff, and you can climb Yinghu Mountain silently.
However, this waterway is very difficult to walk. There are many underwater rocks. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. Looking at this cliff, the boatmen and sailors of the Xu family were intimidated. Xu Xilou was extremely dissatisfied and ordered them to
When we got to the bottom of the cliff, no one dared to say that they could safely row the boat in. Even when it was bright, it was not possible to clearly see where the underwater rocks were. The sky was dark at this time, and it was almost impossible to safely row the boat in with the weak moonlight.
Anchored under the cliff.
Li Luo didn't say anything. These boatmen were not the tidal wavers under Cong Fu who rode the wind and waves as if it were child's play. In the past, the boats used to go through waterways that had been traveled thousands of times by their predecessors, but now they were switching to a completely unfamiliar and dangerous waterway. Naturally,
They were all a little worried. Once the ship sank, and there must be undercurrents under the rocks, there was a high probability that they would stay here.
Xu Xilou was very decisive and ordered the ship to drop anchor while exploring the way down the cliff. Even if half of the ship was damaged, the road must be found. Seeing this, the boatman could not say anything else. The ship belonged to the Xu family.
The young master didn't care about private property, so they had no choice but to act according to the order. Fortunately, this trip was to send people up the mountain. Even if half of the boats were destroyed, the rest would be enough to bring the sailors and boatmen on the boats back to the shore.
Only the boatman and rower were left on the boat exploring the path. Everyone else moved to the boat next to them. Following Su Tan'er's instructions, they slowly moved towards the cliff. The entrance was correct, and the next waterway was more dangerous. The sailors on the boat
Be very careful. There are several experienced boatmen on the bow of the boat who listen carefully. Once there is the sound of friction between the boat and the rocks under the water, they will immediately change the course. But they forgot one thing. Once the boat enters the reef area, the water flow will change.
It's not as controllable as elsewhere. There are so many vortices that it's not easy to change the direction.
Sure enough, after a harsh and dull sound, the first ship hit the rocks. The sailors did not dare to shout loudly, but waved their arms desperately to indicate the direction of the ship. After a few breaths, there was a violent earthquake, and the bottom of the ship leaked water. This chapter has been completed!
