Pampering the sea

On the vast river, a boat was moving fast, and the men behind were swimming in pursuit. Their movements were very fast, and seeing several fishing boats approaching, they threw the fishermen into the water one after another, and rowed their own oars. , quickly chasing the ship in front of him.

It was dusk, the sky was sunless and gray.The sound of the girl's rapid paddling came from the yellow reeds, and she had been chasing her for a while. The distance between the men and the girl was sometimes far and sometimes close, and the river surface was marked with long marks from the boats, which were soon submerged again.

"Don't let her run away, hurry up!"

Ear-piercing shouts rang out in groups. At this time, Xin Yue had already crossed the long water journey, his arms were already numb with soreness, sweat was dripping from his white jade-like face, and there were a few strands of hair on his smooth forehead. Sticking to it, her pointed little face was flushed at the moment, and she looked as intoxicated as if she had been drunk.

Soon, she saw the long embankment, her eyes flashed, and she quickly rowed the boat to the shore. She took out a piece of gold leaf from the pocket at her waist and put it in the old fisherman's arms. Compensation for the fish he fought so hard but was kicked into the river by her.

She wrapped the rope around the big tree on the side to prevent the fishing boat from drifting around. In a few seconds, she did the aftermath work, and the people behind were about to catch up.

This is just a turning point, and it is also a docking point. At this moment, there are few boats parked on the shore. Xin Yue did not go ashore, but got into a boat with an unremarkable boat hanging on the stern like a fish. After boarding the boat with the red flag, Xin Yue said quickly and deeply to the people in the boat:

"According to plan, no changes."

"Hey!"

That man was a Japanese ronin who was hired by Xin Yue these days. Hearing what Xin Yue said, the ronin replied ably.

This person's eyes are hale and hearty, and his paddling speed is even faster than Xin Yue's. It can be seen that he is a Lianjiazi who has lived at sea all year round. Paddle so that Chu Zhiling's men won't catch up, but also won't create too much distance.

At this moment, Xin Yue was not rowing the boat, and she was very relieved of the strength of the ronin's hands. On the bow of the boat with the canopy, she suddenly turned her head and looked back, as if she was checking the situation behind.

The distance between Song Chang and his party was still a bit far, and in addition to the overcast sky at this time, it was difficult to see a person very clearly. It was only a moment when Xin Yue turned his head back. He didn't expect to change the ship at all, and he didn't want to guard against fraud, so he only ordered the brothers to chase after him.

Because the fishing boat was blocked by a not-too-small awning, Song Chang and the others couldn't see the Japanese ronin rowing at the bow of the boat. They thought that Xin Yue was paddling fast as usual, thinking that she was the only one on the boat Man is alone.

They drove the snatched boat forward desperately.

About ten minutes later, the boat came to a dense forest without accident, and the boats behind were also chasing steadily. Xin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"Slightly faster."

The Ronin then sped up his speed, and at this moment, a slender black figure on the boat slipped quietly, almost silently dived into the icy sea water, and in the slightly dark sky, silently headed towards the shore beside him. After paddling, suddenly, the black shadow broke through the water, landed on the shore like lightning, rolled on the spot, and the figure quickly sank into the dense forest. The black shadow was extremely fast, like light smoke, and when no one noticed It has already escaped and disappeared.

Under the dark sky, Song Chang and others locked their eyes on the fast-moving boat in front of them, and did not notice this insignificant change at all.

"Chasing! Work harder, we must catch up with her!"

Hearing this hoarse call, the black shadow in the forest raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a bright smile appeared on his usual lazy face.

After half an hour, the sky was completely dark.

Two hours later.Tazawa Mansion.

The expressionless man was sitting on a gilded red sandalwood soft chair, with his elbows propped on the armrest beside him, his thumb and forefinger caressing his smooth chin gently, his abyss-black eyes coldly swept across the people present, Deep voice:

"Catch up and let her run away again?"

There was no trace of anger in his voice, nor was it loud, but it seemed that a storm was brewing and was about to erupt at any moment.

"yes, Sir."

Song Chang stood up, nodded and replied.

Chu Zhiling narrowed his eyes immediately, his expression was not angry but mighty, and several people broke into a cold sweat secretly.

In fact, Chu Zhiling was very kind to them and rarely lost his temper with them, but these few days, when Xin Yue was away, Chu Zhiling's temper became extremely irritable, like an angry beast.And when he was not angry, he pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes seemed to be shimmering with coldness, and the air could often drop to freezing point.

"Brother asked us to track down the woman's whereabouts a few days ago, but we searched everywhere but to no avail. Today we finally found out that the woman showed up in Mizusaki, and our group chased her away, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye until In the evening, someone discovered that she seemed to be going to Hirado Port, and she was carrying a ship from Hirado Port back to China."

Chu Zhiling frowned slightly, and there was a faint stream of light floating in his long and narrow eyes. He seemed to have calmed down a lot, and thoughtfully said:

"Tell me about the specific process."

Song Chang then told what he saw and felt today.

His central meaning is roughly this: Xin Yue has been going north.

Chu Zhiling raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is she going to Jingtuan Port in the north?"

-

One day later, Jingtuan Port, which is slightly north of Hirado Port, was surrounded by Chu Zhiling's men, Ma Mingli, who were secretly watching.Song Chang secretly checked every move around. He believed that Xin Yue's purpose could not be clearer. She was anxious to escape from Chu Zhiling and return to China, so she must be lurking near the port. The boat goes back.

Two days later, there was still no sign of Xin Yue, Song Chang thought to himself, did she continue to go north?Guessing that they will guard the nearest Jingtuan Port, so they will not hesitate to go to a port further north?

As a result, Chu Zhiling's troops dispersed rapidly, and they guarded the major ports of Japan closely. Just in case, in case Xin Yue used the trick of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain to make a false statement, they were still in Xin Yue and it seemed that they would not go again. The port of Hirado has arranged for manpower.

This is simply an impenetrable atmosphere. Chu Zhiling dispatched almost all his troops to hover around the major ports. If Xin Yue could escape, it would be unless he had wings or the blessings of the gods.

As long as Xin Yue wants to escape, sooner or later he will be caught by Chu Zhiling. This is simply a game of death, and Xin Yue has nowhere to go.

However, when the night was dark, a slender girl dressed in black suddenly had a calm smile on her face, and her eyes shone like stars.
