In the Clouds: Mulan Line

Chapter 13
Xiaoyu is gone.

Naturally, it was quite chaotic when dealing with the funeral, but Xiaoyu followed Hua Mulan closely all the time, but she didn't know when she suddenly disappeared.

Hua Mulan searched around but couldn't find it. She recalled the soft sound before again, and the bad premonition in her heart became more and more serious. She felt that Xiaoyu's disappearance might be related to that sound.

And Baili Shouyue searched the vicinity carefully, and suddenly said: "Captain, I found strange footprints. Right here, there are two of them, they seem to have come prepared, and took Xiaoyu away. "

Hua Mulan's eyes turned cold all of a sudden: "It's that businessman!"

Thinking about it now, the other party probably knew that Xiaoyu was in her arms when he stopped her.I'm afraid they were able to track Yuzai not only by blanket search, but also by some special means.

From this point of view, this group of people is by no means ordinary people, and the method of tracking is very clever, at least she didn't notice it.

"That's treacherous! Xiaoyu can detect the existence of black crystal sand and can help us track down and investigate. I want to rescue it." Hua Mulan said.

As she said that, she took a look at Baili Shouyue, and said bluntly: "To tell you the truth, I also have selfish intentions. I like Xiaoyu very much, and I don't want her to be taken away. But I will discuss it with you, and I will not act privately. "

Baili was a little embarrassed to keep the promise, but he also understood Hua Mulan's meaning better. To be honest, he also admired Hua Mulan's frankness. Maybe he lacked this frankness with Hua Mulan, but now is not the time to be honest...

"Xiaoyu has already helped us, so naturally we can't just sit idly by." Baili kept his promise.

Hua Mulan nodded, and the two quickly followed along.

Although the opponent's method of covering up their traces was very clever, but they were in a hurry to leave after all, so there were always some omissions, and under Baili Shouyue's extremely strong observation ability, these omissions became arrows pointing their direction.

At this time, Xiaoyu was crying bitterly, struggling to get back to Hua Mulan.

These people again, why do these people always want to catch it!
Xiaoyu, who was sealed in the cage, kept hitting the cage with her small body, but the solid iron cage did not move at all.

"Fortunately, I got it. Such a jade boy will definitely sell for a lot of money." A person was looking at Xiaoyu with satisfaction, completely turning a blind eye to Xiaoyu's struggling movements.

He was wearing a smart outfit, revealing the tattoo of two crossed oars on his chest, and there were many complicated pictures and texts engraved on the oars. His face was exactly that of the previous businessman, but his temperament was quite different, very sturdy.

The previous "buddies" are also here, and they also have tattoos of crossed oars on their chests, but the engraved pictures and texts are much simpler.

Although Yuzi is expensive and has many uses, its own combat effectiveness is negligible.This jade boy is particularly cunning, but they haven't caught it yet.

With Yuzai's strength, if he entered the special iron cage, he would never be able to get out.

Someone said with some concern: "Didn't it be said that it was obtained by a woman who looks very difficult to mess with? Will she find it?"

The sturdy man waved his hand indifferently: "Not to mention that she doesn't know our real identity at all, even if she finds us, wouldn't our Shazhou Brotherhood be afraid of her as a woman?"

The rest immediately laughed.

"The hall master said so."

"Not to mention that we have left Yunzhou City now, where will she look for it if she wants to?"

"good."

The strength of Xiaoyu's impact gradually weakened. It looked at a big ship in front of it. Although it didn't know what it was, but seeing these people carrying itself up, Xiaoyu understood that it was something that would take him away from here.

It hurriedly turned to the direction of Yunzhou City, and called out mournfully: "Hey!"

"Haha, I'm quite reluctant to part with this little thing."

"It's really strange, Yuzai is so smart?"

"Yuzai can communicate with people, so it's not surprising that she behaves like this."

"Really? But it's okay, the smarter you are, the more expensive you can sell it. Come on, little thing, stop barking, will you roll?"

Xiaoyu turned a deaf ear to these people's words, and stared at Yunzhou City closely with jewel-like eyes. There seemed to be flashes of water in the eye sockets, but as a jade boy, she didn't have real tears, but the voice was pitiful enough A: "Oh..."

At this time, Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue, whom Xiaoyu had been looking forward to, were taking the time to track down the trail of this group of people.

"No, they left the city." Baili Shouyue checked the last trace carefully, his expression changed slightly.

Hua Mulan also frowned, this group of people was more cunning than she thought.

"Chase!"

Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue had just chased out of the city gate when they saw a ship about to set sail from afar.Several small boats followed behind.

"That's... a sand boat!"

The boats driving in the sand sea are undoubtedly the sand boats.

It’s just that, unlike ships driving on the water, the sand boat doesn’t actually drive on the sand, but floats above the sand sea.

"There is a totem of crossed oars on the sail, which is the symbol of the Shazhou Brotherhood." Baili Shouyue frowned and said.

The Shazhou Brotherhood... Hua Mulan also immediately sank.She has also heard of the Shazhou Brotherhood.

The Shazhou Brotherhood is one of the three major business groups in Shahai, which is as famous as the Secret Jade Society, but in fact it is notorious for mainly robbery.Such a business group is naturally at odds with the Great Wall Guards, but one of the two sides is on the Great Wall, and the other is in the clouds and sand seas, and they will not meet each other.

But for such a business group, Hua Mulan has long disliked it.

What's wrong with having hands and feet, you have to do robbery!
Now it's over her head!

Now that I think about it, the businessman I met before was not a real businessman. I am afraid that he used the skin of a businessman as a cover, but in fact he was still engaged in activities such as looting and setting up spots.Daring to plunder in broad daylight is blatant and extremely arrogant.

Baili Shouyue has excellent eyesight. With all his attention at this time, his eyes are slightly reflecting light in the sun, and the pupils are almost shrunk to a point, almost no different from the eyes of wolves.

The sails, the people on board... Baili Shouyue's eyes swept across the sand boat one by one, and then captured the most critical scene, an iron cage hanging on a wooden frame under the sail, Xiaoyu was in the in.

"I saw Xiaoyu, on that sand boat." Baili Shouyue's eyes instantly returned to normal, and he said at the same time.

"The speed of the sand boat is extremely fast. We can't catch up with the camels alone. Yunzhou City has produced a large number of sand boats, and there must be sand boats for sale now. We have to find one first."

Just halfway through Baili Shou's appointment, he saw that Hua Mulan had already aimed at the last sand boat, and then decisively threw the light sword.Hearing a scream of "ah", the sand boat shook a few times, and then fell headlong into the yellow sand.

"Okay, there's a sand boat." Hua Mulan clapped her hands and said murderously.

This sand boat is so small that it can almost only be regarded as a canoe.Behind the big boat of the Shazhou Brotherhood, such a canoe can mostly be used for pathfinding and patrolling.

Only then did Baili Shouyi say the second half: "...and find someone to drive."

Hua Mulan didn't have time to explain, she just said briefly, "Follow the matter urgently."

This sand boat is only a little smaller, but it can still be used.

Baili Shouyue expressed his understanding, but he raised another question: "But we don't know how to control sand boats."

Hua Mulan thought for a while and said, "Anyway, go up first and then talk!"

With that said, she jumped onto the sand boat first.

Baili kept the contract and helped the forehead. Although he knew that the captain had always been vigorous and resolute, he was too vigorous and resolute.

If you don't know how to drive, even if you go up, you can only stare blankly.

But even so, out of trust in Hua Mulan, Baili Shouyan jumped on it without hesitation.

The canoe that can only accommodate one person becomes even smaller after two people are boarded. This canoe looks very simple, and at first glance, it is impossible to guess the operating principle of the canoe.

As soon as Hua Mulan went up, she immediately started to observe, but it was just a sand boat, how troublesome could it be?
Baili Shouyue also displayed his powerful observation skills at this time. He saw a familiar thing with sharp eyes, and his heart was almost shocked: "There is also black crystal sand here?"

Hua Mulan was also slightly taken aback, and immediately looked down, and found a small hole in the bottom of the sand boat. The black crystal sand was just on the edge of the hole, and there seemed to be some extremely precise structures underneath...

"Didn't you say before that there will be some business groups in the cloud, such as the three major business groups, all of which will capture the black crystal sand? Although the black crystal sand is unknown, it has special energy?" Hua Mulan asked suddenly.

Baili Shouyue is also a quick-thinking person. He was only a little startled when he heard the words, and he understood: "The captain means that the special energy possessed by this black crystal sand can drive the sand boat to travel on the sand sea?"

Hua Mulan waved her hand: "Whether it is true or not, just try it and you will know."

Hua Mulan swept the small grain of black crystal sand in, then stood up and held the oar.The paddle is connected to the precise structure inside. Hua Mulan tried to shake it, and found that the small paddle was full of resistance...

She only paused for a moment, then increased her strength, and only heard a crackling sound, the hull shook suddenly, and a special energy fluctuation suddenly came from the bottom of the canoe, and immediately the whole canoe was in the air between Hua Mulan and Huo Mulan. Under the gaze of Baili Shouyue, he slowly floated up.

Hua Mulan: "Isn't that enough?"

Baili Shouyue nodded, thinking to himself.

The oars of this canoe must not be driven with absolute force, so how did the captain drive it?

Seeing the sand boat really float up now, they also have a special feeling in the canoe.Rather than saying that the sand boat is floating, it is better to say that there seems to be a repulsive force between the canoe and the sand sea. This repulsion separates the canoe from the sand sea with an invisible "membrane".

And a series of mechanical reactions accompanied by paddle strokes eventually led to the forward movement of the canoe.

After observing for a while, Baili figured it out. It turned out that he used the characteristics of the black crystal sand.The black crystal sand will attract each other, but it will repel the rest of the sand, which naturally includes the sand sea under their feet?
And at this time, he just heard Hua Mulan say: "Using the repulsive force of black crystal sand to make power, shouldn't it be like this? This sand boat is really wonderful."

Baili kept the promise and couldn't help nodding: "I guess that's it. I think the same as the captain."

Because of Hua Mulan's decisive operation, the canoe can be regarded as "flying", so that they can also catch up with the sand boat of the Shazhou Brotherhood in front.

However, as Hua Mulan swung the oars with all her strength, Baili Shouyi, who was full of confidence in the captain, was almost thrown out!

Fortunately, he stabilized his figure from the spear with lightning speed, but even so, half of his body was still hanging outside the canoe.It's just that Baili kept his promise, and threw himself back with a slight swing.

Then he let out a breath in his heart.

so close.

He silently glanced at Hua Mulan, um, it's for sure, the captain's method of completely using violence, even using sword energy to stir the black crystal sand to speed up, is definitely not the correct way to drive the sand boat.

It is even certain that this weak canoe will definitely die soon if it continues like this.

In addition, because his perspective is sometimes aimed at the sky and sometimes at the yellow sand, Baili Shou promise can also be sure that their canoe is not always facing upwards, to be precise, it should always be Be in a spin.

Baili Shouyue with a calm face thought so.

But even so, he still spoke: "Captain!"

Hua Mulan's voice was also very calm: "Don't worry, we will catch up soon."

Baili kept the promise and said nothing.

All right, listen to the captain.

He was just a little worried that the canoe would fall apart in the air, well, just a little bit.

At this time, someone on the sand boat in front also noticed the inconspicuous small canoe behind.

The canoe didn't attract people's attention at first, but after casually looking at it a few more times, the eyeballs of the person who paid attention almost popped out.

"Tang... the hall master! Look, what is that?"

The sturdy man known as the hall master casually turned his head to look, and suddenly showed an incredible look: "What the hell!"
