Tianlong Sword Guanghan

Chapter 101.

At three o'clock that night, when mooring at Jiangxing, all the boatmen had already gone to sleep.When everything was quiet, Xiao Xiaoxiao and Huang Yuanji tidied up and sneaked out of the cabin.

The two sneaked into the cabin quietly, and saw dozens of large wooden boxes two feet long and wide in the belly of this big ship, and beside the wooden boxes, a dozen wooden barrels half a person's height were tightly tied with hemp rope .Xiao Xiaoxiao became curious, stepped forward to open the box, a white light flashed, Xiao Xiaoxiao exclaimed softly.

Huang Yuanji hurriedly stepped forward to look, but saw that the box was neatly filled with silver ingots, so he picked up one and took a closer look.After a while, he said softly: "It's the best snowflake silver, and its color is three points better than that of the imperial court silver."

Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at the dozens of large wooden boxes that were full, and said in shock: "This boat is filled with so much silver. The family surnamed Lou has a fleet, but I don't know how much silver it should have." Huang Yuanji thought for a moment, Said: "I have heard that there is a lot of silver in Fusang, presumably they got it by smuggling from Fusang. No wonder Lou Minzhong dared to brag about Haikou and wanted to use silver to find a cabinet position for my father."

Xiao Xiaoxiao frowned and said: "It's just the two of us, but we can't get rid of so many white eyes." Huang Yuanji smiled and said: "We only need to sink the boat, and this lot of silver sinking in the middle of the river is enough for them to slow down." It's time to look for it." Xiao Xiaoxiao opened his eyes, patted Huang Yuanji on the shoulder, and said, "Exactly, if these money are used for rebellion, I don't know how many lives will be lost."

The two of them did what they said, looking around for tools that were handy.Huang Yuanji found the wooden barrel next to the wooden box, his nose twitched suddenly, his face was serious, and he said softly: "Princess, come and see what this is?" Xiao Xiaoxiao stepped forward to watch with a candle in his hand, Huang Yuanji Scared out of his wits, he didn't care about the candle burning his hands, so he squeezed out the candle. Xiao Xiaoxiao was about to speak when Huang Yuanji said: "Don't light the fire, these dozen barrels are full of kerosene!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao heard this, and quickly threw away the candle in his hand, patted his chest with lingering fear, and said: "So much kerosene is a sharp weapon for attacking cities and villages. It seems that their time to do something is not far away."

Huang Yuanji nodded slowly, and said: "It's unlucky for the thief to meet us today, so let's light this kerosene and this boat together, and let them have a dream of Qingqiu."

The two opened the kerosene barrel, splashed it around, and hung an oil lamp high. Xiao Xiaoxiao lit the string hanging the oil lamp, and hurried out of the cabin with Huang Yuanji. The two of them rushed all the way to the stern deck Unexpectedly, there were two boatmen on duty on the deck. When they saw Huang Yuanji and the two of them, they shouted and asked.Xiao Xiaoxiao was anxious in her heart, and hurriedly shot, trying to knock them down.

It's a pity that the two boatmen were too far apart, as soon as Xiao Xiaoxiao started to move, the two of them shouted loudly.Xiao Xiaoxiao saw that the other party had been alarmed, and quickly grabbed Huang Yuanji's collar and jumped into the boat. With a wave of her hand, a dagger in her hand cut the rope tied to the boat, and the boat immediately floated downstream along the river.

After a while, Lou Minzhong's voice sounded on the deck: "Why did Huang Shixiong leave in such a hurry?" While speaking, the big ship slowly anchored, set sail, and chased after the small boat.

Xiao Xiaoxiao grew up on a sea island since she was a child, and she is extremely skilled at boating on the water.The small boat was not big at all, and she kept going back and forth to control it alone. The small boat was full of sails and fled far downstream.Huang Yuanji couldn't help on the boat, so he had to shout loudly to prevent Lou Minzhong from checking the cabin.

He shouted: "My little brother was so excited after hearing what my brother said, I couldn't sleep at night, so I went out all night to tell my father the good news." Lou Minzhong sneered, and when he was about to speak again, he saw a group of boatmen , Fleeing from the cabin one after another, he was shocked, stretched out his hand, grabbed a boatman, and asked in a loud voice: "You are in a panic, what is the matter?" The boatman's face was pale, and he kept calling: " Flooded, Flooded, Flooded cabin!"

Patriarch Yuan heard this, yelled, turned around and left, but was grabbed by Lou Minzhong, Patriarch Yuan said: "Let go, the things in the cabin must not be lost!" Lou Minzhong's face was covered with sweat, trembling Said: "Brother Zu, it's too late, there are seventeen barrels of kerosene I bought from Nanyang in the cabin!"

Zu Shiyuan's legs went limp, if Lou Minzhong hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.Trembling, he raised his right hand, pointed at the boat, and shouted loudly: "Young son of the Huang family, I will not kill you, I swear I will not be a human being!" Huang Yuanji sat in the boat and laughed loudly: "Brother Zu, don't do this. Irritable, if I were you, I should think more about how to save my life in the fire at this moment! Let me take a step first, everyone, don't say goodbye!"

Lou Minzhong and Zu Shiyuan watched the boat go away.At this time, the flames in the cabin became more and more intense, and the heat on the deck was unbearable, and many boatmen and servants jumped into the water one after another. Lou Minzhong slapped the cabin door, tore off the door panel, and said to Zu Shiyuan: "Zu Shiyuan Brother, if we keep the green hills, we won’t have to worry about firewood. Only by keeping us useful can we avenge the Huang family’s children, help the leader and accomplish great things, don’t make mistakes.”

As if Zu Shiyuan had never heard of it, Lou Minzhong threw the door panel in his hand and stretched out his hand to grab Zu Shiyuan, and the two jumped down together.At this time, dozens of boatmen and servants in the water were vying for each other on the plank of the ship. Lou Minzhong's water quality was excellent, and he was able to come and go freely with his ancestors on his back. !"

But the big ship was already on fire at this moment, where could everyone find a plank?These boatmen and servants turned a deaf ear to Lou Minzhong's yelling, and only cared about fighting each other in the water.Lou Min's heart was on fire, and he struck out eight people with one blow, and everyone was terrified and did not dare to go forward.Lou Minzhong pushed Zu Shiyuan onto the door panel, grabbed the door panel to borrow his strength, and said to Zu Shiyuan: "Brother Zu, if you haven't sent a signal to call for revenge, when will you wait?"

After hearing this, Zu Shiyuan woke up suddenly, and took out three fireworks arrows from his arms. Two of them were soaked in water and could no longer be used. The third one was a little dry. .Not long after, a team of knights appeared on both sides of the river, sitting on good horses, holding torches, like two fire dragons, coming along the river.

Patriarch Yuan exercised his internal strength and shouted loudly: "Go down the river quickly and chase a small boat. There is a man and a woman on board. You just hang your tails far away. Don't do anything. I will carefully kill them with my own hands." People were scraped alive with one knife at a time!"

At dawn on the second day, Huang Yuanji was awakened by Xiao Xiaoxiao, and saw a team of knights on both sides of the river, hanging his own boat from a distance, and just as he and Xiao Xiaoxiao were about to land, the knights on the bank galloped away. Signal far away.After doing this three times, Xiao Xiaoxiao said anxiously: "Too bad, if we go ashore, we will be entangled by them, which is terrible." Huang Yuanji frowned and said: "Princess, please continue to sail, we can only go all the way Dong, let’s talk about entering the sea first.”

The two of them entered the sea along the great river and left Zhoushan. Just as they were about to return to the shore, they faintly saw two big boats slowly following at the mouth of the sea. The shape of the two big boats was the same as Lou Minzhong's big boat, Xiao Xiao Xiao didn't dare to look back, so he had to bite the bullet and drive eastward.

They sailed in the sea for four or five days, the two big boats followed closely, and the sea stretched as far as the eye could see. Xiao Xiaoxiao kept changing directions, but he couldn't get rid of the two big boats at all.Huang Yuanji thought hard about how to get out of the predicament, but he couldn't find a way.

When the two of them were at their wits end, suddenly there was a storm, and a strong wind blew up on the sea. The two big boats did not dare to open their sails on a windy day, and their speed slowed down. Facing the wind and sailing, speeding up for a distance, it is possible to escape the opponent's pursuit, but in this windy weather, sailing with sail is too dangerous, you..."

Huang Yuanji laughed, pulled a rope, tied himself tightly to the mast, and said: "Princess, our current situation is already extremely dangerous, can it be worse?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, and said: "Brother Huang Shi, unfortunately, it can be worse." Huang Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly, and said: "It doesn't matter if you can go with the princess."

Xiao Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and as soon as she pulled the cable, the boat sailed forward fiercely.At this time, the wind and waves were getting stronger and stronger, and under the tumbling waves, the flat boat wobbled unsteadily, as if it was about to be smashed to pieces at any moment.Xiao Xiaoxiao kept adjusting the course in the waves, speeding up, and finally got rid of the pursuers at night.

But at the moment when the big waves hit violently, the boat was clumsy and unsustainable. Xiao Xiaoxiao quickly lowered the sail, but when a wave came, a crossbar on the sail slammed into Huang Yuanji, Xiao Xiaoxiao She was holding onto the cable with both hands, and she couldn't let go. With a scolding voice, she took two steps forward, stopped Huang Yuanji in front of her, and patted the crossbar with her palm.It's a pity that she made a hasty move, lacking in strength, the crossbar was deflected a few inches, but hit her chest.

Xiao Xiaoxiao groaned, and fell down on the deck. Seeing his panic, Huang Yuanji flipped his wrist, took out a dagger, cut off the rope on his body, hugged the mast with one hand, and held Xiao Xiaoxiao tightly with the other. He asked in a trembling voice, "Princess, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, and said, "Fortunately, only a few ribs were broken."

Huang Yuanji quickly picked up the rope and tied Xiao Xiaoxiao to the mast. He recalled Xiao Xiaoxiao's actions and wanted to take over the control of the boat.It's a pity that although he is smart, sailing a boat cannot be learned just by looking at it.He tried his best to steer the boat, but the boat turned in circles. If the wind and waves had not gradually subsided at this moment, Huang Yuanji would have already driven the boat and took Xiao Xiaoxiao to look for the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

Huang Yuanji was tired for half a day, and the boat drifted with the current, but luckily the storm calmed down slowly.Only then did Xiao Xiaoxiao direct Huang Yuanji to turn around the boat slowly, and seeing that the boat was already bruised and unusable, she said to Huang Yuanji: "Brother Huang Shi, this boat will be smashed at any time, we can only turn around, first Go to the small island where my family lives to take refuge."

Taking advantage of the calm weather, Huang Yuanji learned how to maneuver the boat for half a day, and now he can slowly turn the direction.He nodded and said: "I have been wanting to see the scenery of Guidao for a long time, I just hope that the boat master can hold on for a while and send us to the island safely."

Xiao Xiaoxiao listened, and said with a coquettish smile: "Brother Huang Shi, you are not ashamed to call this boat a master." Huang Yuanji said: "At this moment, our lives are tied to it, if it can protect us Survive, even if you call me Grandpa, I can do it."

The two of them cautiously drove the dilapidated boat, identified the direction, and drove for another day. On the second day, they finally saw a small island in the distance on the sea.Xiao Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, and said to Huang Yuanji with a smile all over his face: "Brother Huang Shi, that's my home!" Huang Yuanji looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao, and seeing her face like a peach blossom, beaming with joy, he couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful." Xiao Xiaoxiao wondered: "Brother Huang Shi, can you still see the scenery on the island from such a distance?" Huang Yuanji shook his head and said, "I mean, Princess, you are so beautiful right now."

Xiao Xiaoxiao's face flushed suddenly, he let out a "bah", turned his head away, and didn't say a word.Huang Yuanji said softly: "This time we almost died at the bottom of the sea. This life is taken back. From now on, every day we live is a bargain from God. I don't want to hesitate anymore, stay Regret for life." Xiao Xiaoxiao bowed her head and said nothing, after a long while, she said in a voice like a mosquito, "Don't call me Princess anymore, my family members call me Xiaoxiao."

At this moment, the sea breeze blew past, and a burst of breaking waves beat against the side of the boat. Huang Yuanji had never practiced martial arts, so he couldn't hear what Xiao Xiaoxiao said at all. He stared blankly at the flushed Xiao Xiaoxiao, and asked suspiciously, "Huh?"

At noon, the two finally abandoned the boat and landed on the island.Xiao Xiaoxiao was seriously injured and couldn't walk. Huang Yuanji supported her and slowly walked up to the island, only to see a patch of peach blossoms covering the entire island.He was about to lift his legs into the forest, but Xiao Xiaoxiao gently pulled him back, and she said softly, "Brother Yuanji, this peach forest was planted by my second uncle's master, and it is a large array of nine palaces and eight trigrams. At this moment, the formation has not been activated, but it is not allowed to enter the forest at will."

Huang Yuanji touched the bruise on his waist, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Nine palaces and eight trigrams formation? Then I have to take a good look. I have learned Yin and Yang spells and five elements formation in Taixue. This nine palaces I have only heard of its name, but I have never seen it before." Xiao Xiaoxiao leaned on him and said, "Follow me, when we get home, I will give you the map of the formation, and you can take a closer look and see it." yes."

Huang Yuanji didn't dare to be careless, supported Xiao Xiaoxiao, followed her closely, and walked slowly into the forest. After walking for about half an hour, the two finally came to a small exquisite courtyard.Xiao smiled and said: "Brother Yuanji, this is my home. Unfortunately, there is no one at home, so I can't take care of you." Huang Yuanji smiled and said: "It's okay, let's go in quickly, the most important thing is to treat your injuries first."

The two entered the courtyard, washed up with Huang Yuanji, Xiao Xiaoxiao tied up the wound medicine, and the two settled down in the small courtyard.She was afraid that Huang Yuanji would be bored staying there, so she took out the diagram of the Nine Palaces Array. Huang Yuanji was usually the most detailed in this kind of miscellaneous knowledge.

The two of them spend their days with red sleeves and reading books as they please. They had a great time, but on the fourth day, two large boats appeared in the sky and on the sea, slowly sailing towards the small island.
