When Li Luo and others boarded the warship, they all felt happy about surviving the disaster, just like Luo Qingluan, holding on to Su and Wan Ce tightly, feeling worried and happy at the same time.
Li Luo smiled with relief, fortunately everyone came back safely.
Half an hour later, most of the fog shrouding the sea area dissipated, and the sky was getting dark. Some of the afterglow of sunset filtered in from the dusk overhead, giving the warship an intoxicating splendor.
The warship did not set off immediately to return to the alliance city. There is still one ship whose whereabouts are unknown. It is unknown where it ended up in this thick fog.
After the fog cleared, it took only a few moments for General Fu Cong to find the lost warship Pao Ze. It turned out that the two ships were not far apart and were in the same sea area. However, they were blocked by a mysterious force and could never meet again.
.
Cong Fu was so angry that he put one foot on the side of the boat, pointed at Si Youjun on the opposite boat and scolded him. All the evil fire and dissatisfaction in his heart were directed at Si Youjun. Si Youjun was dejected and hung his head, not daring to do so.
He talked back and listened respectfully to Cong Fu's loud reproach.
All the officers and men on the ship secretly smiled bitterly, as if they were often scolded by Cong Fu.
Jiu Cai'er stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her nose at Li Luo, implying that Cong Fu's appearance was all because of Li Luo.
Li Luo touched the tip of his nose and pretended not to understand what he meant.
After a hearty scolding, Congfu finally lost his temper, his expression softened, and he ordered Si Youjun to return home.
Looking back, he saw Li Luo and others looking at him solemnly, their pretty faces blushing, and they muttered, "Look what I'm doing." After that, they hurried to the other side of the warship.
The sea was calm and the tired bird returned to its nest. The warship sailed slowly towards the alliance city. It was no longer important whether the secret of the ghost ship was solved or not. All the soldiers saw it. Li Luo and several others also went aboard and witnessed the ghost ship with their own eyes.
The ship sank, and all that was left was to think about how much to tell the people of the alliance city to calm their hearts.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while. Li Luo was injured, so he said goodbye and went back to the cabin to rest alone.
The night sky tonight is very quiet and clear. I wonder if it is because I was dizzy in the mist during the day. At this time, the bright stars in the night sky seem particularly close.
Li Luo pulled up his clothes. The sea breeze in the evening was still a bit cool.
Li Luo came to the door. When the Ming Hong Dao in Guanzhong seemed to vibrate, Li Luo didn't pay attention and pushed the door open.
The room was a bit dark and there was no lamp. Usually at this time, the Chinese cavalry officers would light candles and lanterns, but today they seemed to have forgotten about it.
Li Luo didn't pay much attention. He just forgot. He didn't like these powerful pomps. Why should others do it when he could do it himself.
Li Luo lit the candle. The tea was still warm and he had just changed it.
Li Luo poured a cup of tea, suddenly stopped his hand, poured another cup, and looked back at the bed.
A white shadow like a ghost sat quietly on the bed. When Li Luo turned around and looked over, he said softly: "Aren't you surprised?"
Li Luo put down the teapot and replied calmly: "It's okay."
"I want to borrow your boat to go ashore, is that possible?"
Li Luo looked at this unexpected guest and sighed helplessly, saying, "If I don't want you to stay on the ship, what will you do?"
The woman in white smiled softly and responded in a low voice: "You are the host and I am the guest. Of course, guests do as the host does. If you don't want me to stay, I can only leave."
"You saved my life on the ghost ship."
"Half and half, if I don't save you, I will be hurt by you."
"You also have the virtue of a helping hand in the whirlpool at the bottom of the sea."
"Haha, it's just a coincidence. Besides, the undercurrent of the sea water can't do anything to you."
"The girl's arts are extraordinary, and her qinggong is even more outstanding. It's not difficult to hide it from me. But since she came to me, I will naturally not let her go back to the sea. You stay on the boat. I thanked the girl for being in the ghost ship."
A feeling of helping each other.”
"You knew I was coming on board?"
"We have searched within a hundred miles of this sea area, and there is no place to stay. Unless the girl is a fairy in the sea, it will not be easy to leave alive."
The woman in white chuckled and said: "Fairy spirit? Shouldn't it be a demon spirit?"
"Whether it's a fairy or a demon, I want to go back. There's nothing wrong with taking the girl for a ride, but I didn't expect the girl to find my place."
"You think I would go on another ship and hide quietly, wouldn't that be too unfair?
Although this room is not very comfortable, it is very spacious and more than enough for two people.”
Li Luo frowned and said calmly: "A lonely man and a widowed woman are not on good terms with the girl. If the girl likes this room, I will do the same when I go out. No one will come in and disturb you."
The woman in white gave a faint oh and said slowly: "The prince of Dagan must carry out his orders, so naturally no one dares to disturb me, but this will inevitably arouse suspicion.
This ship is someone else's ship, and the people on it are not the prince's own. Besides, several of your guards are rare martial arts masters. I don't want to reveal my whereabouts. If someone accidentally sees me, what do you think I should do?
Is that good?"
"The girl is threatening me."
"How could it be? I'm just an unwanted guest. How dare I threaten the prince? I just mentioned my difficulties. I don't know what difficulties the prince has?"
"Girl, there is no need to resort to provocation. Since I promised you, I will not break my promise and will take you back safely. As for the matter of honor, girl, you can rest assured. I will only stay a few nights."
"It's okay to stay a few nights, but you will always come back. An empty room is even more suspicious. You can also rest assured that I live here and have no intention of occupying the magpie's nest. You can just pretend that I am not here.
good."
Li Luo frowned and said, "How can this be done?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. As long as you and I are honest and have a clear conscience, what are we afraid of?"
"The girl hides her whereabouts so deliberately, is there any ulterior secret?"
"Yes." The woman in white spoke bluntly and replied calmly, "But since it's a secret, I can't tell you."
Li Luo paused for a moment, speechless.
"If you want to hide your tracks on a small ship, even if you don't have a master, it's not easy without hurting innocent people."
Li Luo snorted coldly. With such a weird and unparalleled martial arts master hiding elsewhere in the warship, Li Luo really couldn't feel at ease. He didn't want to find out the woman's whereabouts at the moment. In any case, the woman in white had the meaning of saving him. The villain Li Luo repeated this
I don't even bother to do it.
The woman in white saw Li Luo's expression changed and then returned to calm, she chuckled and said, "Can I stay here?"
Li Luo snorted, let out a breath, and said, "Girl, I'd better get dressed first. There are my daily changes of clothes in the cabinet next to me, so I can only make do with them for now."
