Alternative Jianghu Adventures
Chapter 63 The Swallowtail Gang
Xia Yun's actions made everyone puzzled.
"What do you mean?" Lan Sang asked in a daze, not fully awake from the symptoms of seasickness.
"Go back to the house first, don't stick around here, it's in the way." Xia Yun smiled apologetically, and led everyone back to the cabin, not forgetting to put the Pipi shrimp on the table, "Hey! Why are you looking at me? Eat first! Talk while eating!"
All of you present here are smart people—even Yu Ying, a martial idiot who doesn’t care about anything, immediately understood Xia Yun’s meaning because he has been running around the sea all year round. , completely unaware of the turbulent situation outside the cabin.
The sailors on the deck were running around restlessly, but apart from the one shot just now, after a long time, no second shell hit the ship.
This eye-catching effort is enough for others to react.
360 lines, every line has rules in it.Those who hang out in the rivers and lakes seem to be at ease, but in fact they must abide by the rules to avoid public wrath-if they are told by their colleagues, if they show their faces again, they will be hunted down by the people of the world.
Previously, when Xia Yun was walking in the Shunfeng Escort Bureau, he encountered a robbery dart, and there were still two horses who took the lead in detouring to communicate.
Comparing your heart to your heart, even if Xia Yun knows nothing about the things on the sea road, it is not difficult to imagine that there must be signs before the catastrophe.
This ship has been traveling between the South China Sea and the East China Sea all year round, and it is backed by powerful forces. It must be familiar with the pirates in this area—for pirates who started their business by robbing houses and selling private salt, after all, they often come and go. Even if the face is torn, it may not be able to beat others.
They are all looking for money, and they are regular customers, so it is natural that kindness is the top priority.
Xia Yunqiao Anyue witnessed the semaphore on the boat was "Let go", presumably the other party would not slap herself so boringly.
Even though the next shell hit the side of the ship, the second shell did not follow after such a long time.
If it was robbery, it would be too incompetent.
After figuring this out, everyone immediately felt relieved.
"Hey, how do you make your Pippi shrimp? I grew up eating seafood, and I have never tasted such delicious food!" Yu Ying asked Qiao Anyue for advice, and the Pippi shrimp in her hand had already been gnawed. Most of it.
Lan Sang's brain was still dizzy, especially the violent shaking from the cannonball just now, which made her lips turn white.
The prestige of bickering with Xia Yun on weekdays is completely gone, and he first belittles the "big hearted person" who "can still eat at this time" with a breathless breath, and then hits the core of the problem:
"If it's not for money, then why? It can't be... an accidental injury, right?"
Xia Yun shrugged, "How do I know? It's not that no one is taking care of us on board, so we guests should stay calm and stay in the cabin like other borrowed merchants! When the sky fell, there was a tall man standing on top of him. , what are you fussing about?"
"We can't delay the matter." Cheng Zhe struggled on the four-wheeled vehicle and uttered.
——The situation of his Lansang is slightly stronger.Although I was seasick from the very beginning, but after lying in the house for so many days, I gradually got used to the rhythm of the bumps on the boat.
"Everyone, don't forget what our purpose is this time? Whether it's the young master or Nanyang Wuying's herbs, the most urgent task is to ensure that the ship can sail normally.
If not, it would be easier to think about such a herbal medicine whose whereabouts are obsessed. If it is different from the young master who went south, it would make a big mess. "
"If you have the ability, then go and fix the boat! Don't mess around here!" Xia Yun glared at Cheng Zhe angrily, "I don't have any tools, and the boat didn't hit a vital point, and it sank in a while. No. The captain is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"
"I'm still worried." Cheng Zhe tapped his temple to suppress the feeling of vomiting in his chest, and said to Chu Yi: "Chu Yi, why don't you go out and have a look? If the ship sinks, we will do it early Prepare."
On the first day of the lunar new year, he nodded slightly, picked up the long sword and went out through the curtain.
Xia Yun looked enviously at the long sword that had not yet been unsheathed, and swallowed, "Cheng Wangcai, how about it, I don't have a weapon in my hand now. I don't want you to return my tens of thousands of taels of silver, you How about giving me a sword similar to the one in Chuyi's hand?
You forged that sword, right?Listen to the sound and you will know that it is in the top grade! "
"That's impossible," Cheng Zhe shook his head like a rattle, "I, Cheng, will never use repeated weapons. The sword in the first day of junior high school was tailor-made for him after I observed his sword-handling habits. You...don't even think about it!"
While speaking, Lansang Qiao Anyue had already caught the information that the artillery was in place from the movement outside.
"Then show me too."
Xia Yun took it for granted, but unexpectedly got a meaningful expression from Cheng Zhe.
"how?"
"You...Xia Qiongqiong, do you want to know the reason why I haven't given you a weapon?" Cheng Zhe propped his face with one hand, his eyes kept wandering between Xia Yun's hands.
Xia Yun hadn't uttered the words "tell me and listen" when he felt the body of the boat shake suddenly, and his body threw forward uncontrollably due to inertia.
Almost hit the table in front of me!
Qiao Anyue quickly pulled someone's arm, "Are you all right?"
Xia Yun waved his hand, his fingertips slipped across Qiao Anyue's palm, and said in a deep voice, "The boat has stopped."
"The firearm has not been fired, so stop the ship urgently." Yu Ying followed quickly, "It seems that we can't fight anymore. I'm afraid we have to negotiate."
"Negotiation?"
"I don't know why there is no war yet, but if negotiations are involved, according to the rules in this sea area, the two sides should go to each other's ship to identify hostages, and then the two sides will send people to negotiate." Yu Ying said without thinking, "If it succeeds, the hostages will be returned to Zhao intact, if not..."
Yu Ying raised her voice, "It depends on which side will make the first move."
As soon as she finished speaking, she came back in a hurry on the first day of the new year. Looking at the inquiring eyes of the crowd, she said succinctly, "The boat stopped. The semaphore said it was an accidental injury. Now the two sides are adjusting their directions and preparing to meet."
"Accidental injury?" Lan Sang was stunned, "What kind of accidental injury can fire a firearm to hit here!"
You must know that it takes a long time to load and fire the shells.How could it be so "sudden" that it accidentally bombed the merchant ship?
"It's absolutely impossible for money." Yu Ying found a map from the cabin at some point, which seemed to be pointing the country.
"This area is at the junction of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Especially in summer and autumn, the north and south ocean currents converge into one place. When the weather is bad, the wind and waves are extremely strong. Ordinary pirates have already set up ships to go there. somewhere else.
As far as I know, the only gang still active in this area at this time is the Yanwei Gang, who came to catch some rare seafood while the sea was rising, and came to rob the passing merchant ships—then Merchant ships are concerned about the bad sea conditions, and they don't want to entangle with pirates, and they often spend money to buy safety. "
Yu Ying talked in one breath without stopping,
"However, the Yanwei Gang has always been friendly with the ship merchants who sailed this time. The tolls are usually paid on an annual basis, and they usually open their doors when passing by on weekdays. I also know a few brothers from the Yanwei Gang—compared to other If they act according to the rules, they are already a very moral gang.
It's impossible to make the tripper feel bad at this time.
Impossible, absolutely impossible! "
Yu Ying frowned, with an expression of disbelief.
At this time, the hull of the merchant ship had started to slowly rotate again, and several people glanced at each other, and they all walked to the deck—they blinked especially among a group of merchants who were hiding in the cabin for fear of avoiding them.
The sailors were busy in front of and behind the ship, and the embers around the big hole made by the shells had not even been completely extinguished.
They found a slightly secluded corner, and found that the bow of the ship was facing the two big ships looking far away.
"Can you see what is painted on the opposite sail?" Lan Sang couldn't help asking when he saw Yu Ying squinting his eyes and concentrating.
"I can't see clearly." Yu Ying shook her head, but then she took out a single-tube "clairvoyance" from her bosom and sent it to her eyes——
When the mirror refracted and magnified, I saw a huge seagull painted on the white sail with thick black ink!
"Sure enough!" Yu Ying only said two words, but everyone else knew what she wanted to say.
It's the Swallowtail Gang.
"Then how about we keep silent, don't show up, just sit on the sidelines and watch from the sidelines?" Cheng Zhe doesn't care what kind of misunderstanding happened in the middle. For him, as long as everything is under his control again, it will be fine. It's easy to say.
Others, don't care.
Although Lan Sang habitually wanted to find out what happened, seeing that Cheng Zhe had already opened his mouth and Xia Yun didn't refute, he didn't want to spoil everyone's interest and buried his strong curiosity in his mouth .
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Yu Ying spoke suddenly.
Cheng Zhe only felt a bright round light shone on him from afar - as a craftsman, he was very familiar with this kind of light!
This is the reflection of the mirror!
The other party is also watching here with "clairvoyance"!
"They found you."
"……so what?"
"Do you remember what I said earlier about the 'negotiation' rule?"
Cheng Zhe was a little dazed—he was dizzy before, and to be honest, he really didn't concentrate on listening to this passage.
"The first step is to exchange hostages." Qiao Anyue added in a timely manner.
"Wear fine clothes and get out of the wooden cart." Lan Sang also responded.
Xia Yun patted Cheng Zhe's shoulder with a heavy face, "If you are rich, you are disabled, who else will you be tied to?"
On the first day of the lunar new year, he tightly shook the tiger's mouth of the long sword in his hand, "Just kill it."
"...Do you people from Qiao's family like to fight and kill so much when you encounter difficult things to solve?" Xia Yun looked at Qiao Anyue helplessly—don't think that she didn't notice that someone did something when she was cooking. It's because of this group of people who are eating and drinking, that they are a little bit murderous!
"It's so convenient."
It's not that Qiao Anyue can't use her brain to solve problems, it's just that from the past experience of killing people without blinking an eye, after possessing extremely high martial arts, killing people is indeed the fastest solution to many problems.
Anyway, you can change your face in the future, no one will recognize you, and you won't feel guilty.
Cheng Zhe sighed heavily for his unfortunate experience, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Wait a minute."
He rolled his eyes twice, and then, hesitantly asked everyone in a low voice, "You said, is this a pirate ship?"
……
After being stared at "You are not talking nonsense", Cheng Zhe quickly reorganized his words, "I mean...
Will there be any treasure map in this pirate ship? "
He just suddenly thought of——
The seaside, the map, the ends of the earth... so many clues are connected here!
Perhaps, the map of the ends of the earth and the corners of the earth drawn by the person surnamed Xia is not impossible on this vast sea!

Clairvoyance... Well, it's actually one of the ancient versions of telescopes... Baidu came, blame Du Niang for the mistake, um.
