Chapter 51 The 51st round of visits to the end of the world to find a weak girl and meet Yiren across the angry sea

It turned out that the shop owner and some guests came out to watch what happened. They were awakened long ago and did not dare to come out until the sound of fighting fell silent for a long time. What the Sa brothers suffered was only external injuries. After the acupoints were untied, they were able to move freely. They were very experienced and sophisticated, so they greeted the innkeeper without asking questions, "It is the thief who came last night and intends to rob us. Officer, we have already beaten you away. We destroyed your place, and our officer promised to compensate you for the loss.” He took out an ingot of ingots, which was enough to repair the earthen wall, and gave it to the shopkeeper.The owner of the shop was both surprised and delighted. You must know that if the official ordered by the imperial court was robbed or injured in his shop, it would have a lot to do with it. Now Boss Sa, as the official's entourage, did not pursue the matter at all. It was a blessing in disguise, and I was overjoyed.

It was broad daylight at this time, the guests staying at the inn, seeing such an unexpected incident, were afraid of being involved, and left one after another.Boss Sa pulled the owner of the shop and asked: "Can you buy horses in your town? Our mount is broken." Hard to buy." Boss Sa took out a handful of gold and said, "We are willing to pay three times more than usual. If you know a family with a horse, please let him sell it." For the sake of money, the shop owner was ordered to be cautious, so he took them out to buy horses.Boss Sa ordered the shop assistants again, saying that their officials needed to rest and not to be harassed, and then went out with the shop owner.Xin Qiji laughed secretly: "They are my attendants, and they don't benefit from me at all, but instead they are tired and they lose money for me."

The shop owner and customers had all gone, and the shop was quiet, which was convenient for the old monk to heal Geng Zhao's wounds.At that moment, when he entered Xin Qiji's room, the old monk asked Geng Zhao to lie down, took out a tube of silver needles, and began to prick Geng Zhao's acupuncture points to pull out the poison. Geng Zhao said: "Thank you for your kindness and great virtue, Zen Master. I haven't asked for advice, so I don't know what to call me?" The old monk laughed and said: "I have forgotten my name, well, you can call me the monk without a name." Geng Zhao Full of doubts, he thought: "This old monk is really weird. He seems to be very concerned about Miss Liu, but why have I never heard her mention that she knew such an old monk?" It turned out that Penglai Witch and Geng Although Zhao had a close relationship, he never mentioned his life experience to him because he had no relationship with him. Geng Zhao had never heard the story of this old monk.

The old monk stabbed Geng Zhao's thirteen acupuncture points, and finally pierced his middle finger, and squeezed out a few drops of blood, which was like thick ink.The old monk then said: "You have practiced the Sang family's Eight Forms of Dayan, and you have already established a foundation in your internal strength. You must know the law of luck. Now I will teach you another kind of breathing technique. You practice it three times a day and persevere. The combination of your original internal strength can not only avoid the future trouble of poisonous injury, but also after a few years, you can practice the integration of good and evil internal strength, and it is not difficult to become a first-class master in the world." Immediately, the formula was passed on, and the profound meaning of it was explained in detail, Geng The memory is very good. After listening to it twice, it is already memorized in my heart.

The old monk picked up his crutches and wanted to say goodbye, when Geng Zhao remembered something, he suddenly said: "Master, please stop. I still want to ask for advice..." The old monk said: "Is there anything you don't understand?" Geng Zhao said: " No. I want to ask the master about someone." The old monk said: "Oh, you want to ask about someone? Who?" Geng Zhao said: "Wulin Tianjiao." The old monk was slightly surprised, and said: "You know him too Him?" Geng Zhao said: "No. My disciple is making inquiries on behalf of a friend." The old monk said: "What kind of friend? Why did he want to inquire about Wulin Tianjiao?" Seems a bit strange to Geng Zhao.Geng Zhao said: "It's Liu Qingyao and Liu Nvxia." The old monk was quite surprised, and said in a voiceless voice: "Qingyao, has she met Wulin Tianjiao? How is their friendship? Why did she want to investigate Wulin Tianjiao's whereabouts? ?”

Geng Zhao said: "I don't know when they met, and I don't know what kind of friendship they are. But I know that she encountered an accident when she was in Lin'an. Two of her friends had a fight in Gushan. This matter seemed to have something to do with her, and afterward, the two of them drifted away and left without saying goodbye. Liu Nv Liu was very disturbed..." The old monk quickly asked: "One of them must be the martial arts genius? Who is the other? ?” Geng Zhao said, “It’s Hua Guhan and Hua Daxia. I don’t know if the old Zen master knew each other before?”

The old monk seemed to be quite surprised, his brows were furrowed into a line, and he said: "Swordsman and Wulin Tianjiao fought? What happened?" Geng Zhao told this night as much as he knew. The old monk then said: "Nvxia Liu is very sorry to see that the two of them have hurt their peace. Daxia Hua proved that Wulin Tianjiao was the murderer of Zen Master Gu Yue that night. Nvxia Liu did not defend him at that time, but she later After repeated deliberation with Senior Dongyuan, she did not believe that Wulin Tianjiao would do such a murderous thing. Unfortunately, Wulin Tianjiao disappeared, and she could no longer ask him to understand. Although Liu Nuxia didn't tell me, but I know She is very concerned about these two friends. Since the old Zen master knows the news about Wulin Tianjiao, can you tell me and let me pass it on to Miss Liu."

The old monk suddenly sighed leisurely, and said to himself: "This is really an unexpected thing, but it is difficult for the old monk." The old monk was in a dilemma.The old monk rested for a while, and said slowly: "No wonder Xiaoao Qiankun met a few days ago and didn't mention Qingyao in a word. Well, about the news about the two of them, let me personally tell Qingyao. Mr. Xianggong, thank you for your concern for Qingyao. I am leaving." The crutch touched the ground, and he jumped out of the window, disappearing in an instant. Geng Zhao was full of doubts, and said: "This old monk is really strange. From his tone, he seems to be a relative of Lady Liu." Xin Qiji said, "It's almost like my father's tone. Do you know the background of Lady Liu? "Geng Zhao said: "I'm afraid this is impossible? I heard Miss Coral say that Miss Liu is an abandoned orphan. Most likely her father is dead." Xin Qiji said: "There are the most unexpected things in troubled times. In the human world, it is a monk who becomes a monk."

Qin Nongyu said: "It would be great if this old monk is really Sister Liu's father." Everyone was discussing, only to hear horses neighing outside the door, and Xin Qiji said: "Brother Sa is back. Brother Zhao, you Can I go today?" Geng Zhao took a deep breath, relaxed his muscles and bones, and said with a smile, "I am refreshed and energetic, and seem to be better than before. Let's go now." Xin Qiji's luggage is simple, pick it up and go.The military situation was urgent, and he had to rush to take up the post. Since Geng Zhao could leave, he didn't want to delay, waiting for the Sa brothers to come in.

After leaving the store, I saw the Sa brothers brought back five horses, although they were not as good as their original army horses, they were still very strong.Xin Qiji smiled and said, "Boss Sa, thanks to your ability to do things well, we can rush to Jiangyin tonight." He didn't know that Boss Sa bought the five horses at a high price of fifty taels of gold. The shop owner asked: "What about your original four horses? How do you deal with them?" Sa Lao said: "I'll bother you to kill them so that they don't suffer more. But remember, the horse meat cannot be eaten. Eating them will kill people. You should bury them. This ingot of silver will be your reward." It turned out that their four army horses were poisoned by Gongsun Qi, and they were dying. Boss Sa had already gone to see them.

Old Master Sa: "What about the old monk?" Geng Zhao said: "Let's go." Old Master Sa: "It's a pity, it's a pity. This old monk's peerless martial arts, I have never met such a master in my life, and I have not yet had to ask him Thank you, ask him for advice, and he left." Geng Zhao said: "This old monk will go to Feilong Island for a while." Boss Sa laughed and said: "He is a monk, and he also wants to join in the fun and meet Jiangnan Someone from the underworld?" Geng Zhao said: "No, he is going to meet Lady Liu. This is very strange, let's talk about it as we walk." Sa Dao said: "I also have something to tell you, okay, let's talk on the road. Mr. Geng, congratulations, congratulations, I was worried that you would not be able to ride a horse today." Not only did Geng Zhao heal, but his eyes were radiant, and his internal strength was obviously better than before. Out of this small town, Geng Zhao said: "Brother Sa, let's talk about your matter first." Sa Lao said: "I thought you wouldn't be cured so quickly. After I bought a horse, I took time to visit Meng's house I went there and wanted to say goodbye to Mrs. Meng. I saw the door was open, and I went in to see a donkey cart parked in the yard. The kid who fought with you last night seemed to have injured his leg and was slowly getting on the donkey. The car. His wife was there to serve him. When I asked, it turned out that the mother and son of the Meng family had already left first. The boy seemed to be full of sulking, and stared at me, asking me to tell you that he and yours are not worth the money. You must be careful. This kid is disgusting at the first sight, not because he has been injured. I really want to beat him up again. I laughed it off at the moment, since Mrs. Meng abandoned her home Qiu, I can't see her, so I will leave. Mr. Geng, what kind of deep hatred did this kid have with you to hate you so much?" Geng Zhao said: "He is Gongsun Qi's servant, I don't know why he hates me, Probably because of his master, he is hostile to me." In fact, Geng Zhao certainly knew the reason, but he didn't want to tell Boss Sa.Geng Zhao thought about Sang Qinghong's affection for him, and thought in his heart: "I only know that Qinghong will be trusted for life, but who knows that she is still entrusted to no one." He felt disappointed.You must know that although Geng Zhao cannot accept her affection, he still hopes that she will have a happy future and a happy marriage.Thinking of Meng Zhao's low character, why not make him feel sorry for Sang Qinghong? Sa Dao said: "Now it's time for you to talk about the strange things about the old monk." Geng Zhao told what happened just now, and the Sa brothers couldn't help being very surprised, suspecting that even if the old monk was not the father of the Penglai Witch, at least he was the father of the witch. a very close person.Boss Sa laughed and said, "Nvxia Liu and the old monk are going to Feilong Island. This scene is really exciting. Maybe there will be a big fight against the mountain gate first, and then there will be another father and daughter scene." Let's meet." Second Sa said: "Sister-in-law of Meng's family spoke very well about the master of Feilong Island, if we meet that old monk, I don't know what to do, but unfortunately we can't watch the excitement." Nothing happened all the way, and I arrived in Jiangyin that night.The magistrate of Jiangyin had already received the post report and knew that it was Xin Qiji who had come, so he was very happy.In terms of official position, the judge was a member of Zuozhu Zhizhou's staff, but Xin Qiji's fame moved the government and the public, Jiangyin Zhizhou also admired him very much, he did not dare to treat him like a staff member, and went out to greet him in person.There was no special government office for signing the judgment, but firstly, because Xin Qiji served as a part-time counselor for Jiangyin military affairs, and secondly, the magistrate admired him very much, so an official residence was prepared for him early for his use.Geng Zhao, the Sa brothers and others all moved in. On the second day, Xin Qiji officially took over as the director. The leaders of Jiangyin's various regiments training Xiangyong got the news that Xin Qiji had come here to counsel military affairs. As soon as they saw the matter, they came to see him one after another.Xin Qiji asked about the situation of river defense in various places, drew up a military plan to respond to prosperity and reform, and selected a group of village braves to station in the city, and he personally trained troops.Although he was busy, the work was unexpectedly smooth.In the past, Jiangyin did not have a specially appointed military officer, and the prefect always took care of it. Now Xin Qiji came here to counsel military affairs, called "counselor", and actually presided over it with full authority. However, in a few days, everything was in order, Geng Zhao and others felt relieved and were happy for him.Although Geng Zhao is good at martial arts, he is a layman when it comes to military affairs, and he is not good at affairs, so he can't help Xin Qiji with anything, he only practices martial arts with his cousin in the yamen every day. After meeting Geng Zhao again, Qin Nongyu felt refreshed, and after resting for a few days, her body had fully recovered.One night, I practiced martial arts with Geng Zhao in the back garden. Geng Zhao practiced the Eight Forms of Dayan, and Qin Nongyu also practiced a set of "Xiaoyun Swordsmanship". The move is also powerful, much stronger than before." Qin Nongyu said: "This is all thanks to Sister Liu." After telling how the Penglai witch opened up the Sanjiao veins for her that day, Geng Zhao said, "No wonder your internal strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. The kindness that Miss Liu has done to us, we I really don’t know how to respond.” Qin Nongyu was thoughtful, and suddenly said: "Brother Zhao, I have a discussion with you." Geng Zhao said, "What's the matter?" Qin Nongyu said, "Sister Liu and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss you very much. Now that you and I have recovered physically, and General Xin doesn't need us here for the time being, I think, I want to go to Feilong Island with you one trip." Geng Zhao's heart was shaken, and he said for a while, "Sister Yu, this, this—I'm afraid I have to think twice." Qin Nongyu asked, "What worries do you have?" Geng Zhao said dully, "Staying still is worse than moving, and you are not used to storms. With our martial arts, we may not be able to help Miss Liu when we arrive at Feilong Island. Besides, here, here, General Xin..." He was about to pile up some more reasons when Qin Nongyu suddenly gave a "puchi" smile and interrupted him: "Brother Zhao, all your reasons are just excuses. I understand what's on your mind, and I know what you're worried about." Geng Geng Zhao was very embarrassed, forced a smile and said, "What do you understand?" Qin Nongyu said: "I know Sister Coral will definitely go to Feilong Island to avenge Nanshanhu for killing her father. You don't want to meet her there with me." Geng Zhao has this concern, he is afraid of getting involved in the vortex of emotions again.You must know that Shanhu has traveled thousands of miles with him, and several times when he was in danger, he sacrificed his life to save him.Although he has made a choice now, he can never forget it.Under the current situation, seeing Coral, apart from causing each other's sadness, what else is there to say?What's more, he was also afraid that the two of them would act out the previous scene again after they met, giving in to each other and avoiding him.This is really "seeing is worse than not seeing". Geng Zhao told his cousin the central matter, but kept silent.Qin Nongyu sighed and said, "Brother Zhao, this is your pity!" Geng Zhao said blankly, "Why am I wrong?" Qin Nongyu said slowly: "A man should have a bright heart. Sister Shan Hu has escorted you for thousands of miles, and her kindness is as high as a mountain. Now she is going to avenge the murder of her father. How can you stay out of it and ignore her? Although our martial arts It's not high, but when things are urgent, you can always help her. Besides, as long as we do our best, it's better than doing nothing. The things between the three of us can be discussed slowly in the future, and you don't have to be afraid I was narrow-minded, so I didn't dare to see Sister Coral." Geng Zhao told her that his face turned blue and red, but in fact, why didn't he miss Shan Shan?In the past few days, every time he thought that Shan Hu was about to be alone in danger, but he stood by and watched, why didn't he feel guilty? Geng Zhao hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind, and said: "You are right. On Feilong Island, we are outnumbered. Although there are Liu Nuxia, Senior Dongyuan and others gone, but one more person will help them. Strength. However, although there is nothing wrong here, we must be on guard against changes in the military situation. I don’t know what arrangements Brother Xin has made, can you let me leave this place for ten or eight days? You have to ask others before you can decide.” Just at this point, Boss Sa came in a hurry and said, "General Xin is looking for you, so you are here." Geng Zhao asked, "What is General Xin looking for?" Boss Sa said: "I heard that someone came from General Yu in Caishiji." When he came to the south of the Yangtze River, he also served as a naval trainee in his army. Hearing that he sent someone, he was overjoyed and said, "It turns out that General Yu has already contacted Brother Xin. With them working together to guard the river defense, why worry about the gold bandits?" Invasion of the south, I just wonder if he is here to report some military intelligence?" At that moment, Geng Zhao and Boss Sa went to see Xin Qiji. Qin Nongyu thought they had important military matters to discuss, and after greeting Xin Qiji, he wanted to leave. Xin Qiji smiled and said, "This matter is related to Geng Zhao, you can hear it. I also want to ask what you mean." Geng Zhao asked in surprise, "What is it that has something to do with me?" Qin Nongyu was also very surprised, and said, "I don't know anything about military and state affairs, so how can I make any claims?" Xin Qiji smiled and said, "Miss Qin, has Geng Zhao's body fully recovered? Tell me the truth." Qin Nongyu said, "Much stronger than before. The inner strength and mind method taught by the old monk is indeed very effective." Xin Qiji said: "Okay, I'll believe what you said. There's an errand I want to ask Brother Zhao to do. When he recovers, I'll let him go." Geng Zhao said: "I pledge myself to the country, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to say anything, just take orders from my elder brother." Xin Qiji said: "General Yu sent someone to talk about two things. The first one is to transfer you to help him to lead that rebel army, which is now officially organized as an official army, known as the Flying Tiger Army." Geng Zhao was taken aback, and said: "How can I take on such a burden, and I have never learned the art of war." Xin Qiji smiled and said: "You follow General Yu, and you can learn it slowly. General Yu said that this army The rebel army was originally created by your uncle, since I can't help him lead this army, then you are the most suitable. However, this matter can be delayed a little bit, and the second thing is to start immediately." Geng Zhao said: "But the military situation has changed, where did Jin Kou cross the river?" Xin Qiji said: "That's not true. The Jin invaders have now concentrated on the north bank, and the situation is indeed very tense. However, they are recruiting civilian boats on a large scale, and it will take about a month's preparation before they can cross the river in a large scale. This matter is more important than defending the Jin Kou crossing the river is more dangerous." Geng Zhao said, "What's the matter?" Xin Qiji said, "General Yu got the news that the water bandit Fan Tong is gathering gangsters on a small island outside the mouth of the Yangtze River. It's time for the meeting." Geng Zhao said, "Why is it Fan Tong? Oh, I understand!" He said with a smile, "I don't know the details of General Yu yet. The leader of their meeting is the leader of Feilong Island, the leader of Feilong Island Nan Shanhu and Fan Tong are sworn brothers, and Fan Tong is only the third child. Probably because he has been a bandit in the Yangtze River for a long time, so he stepped in." Xin Qiji had also heard Boss De Sa talk about this matter before, and nodded , said: "That's right, from this point of view, the gathering of bandits gathered by Island Master Feilong and Fan Tong is really a thing." Xin Qiji went on to say: "General Yu sent a map of the water area. It turns out that Feilong Island is very close to us. If you sail from Huogang outside Jiangyin City, you can get there in three days with a favorable wind, and five days with a headwind at most. Yu. The general means that I want to send a smart and brave person to Feilong Island to find out the news, to see what the plan of the gang of water bandits is, whether they have any collusion with the Jin people, who are the leaders of the party, etc. This matter is Going deep into the caves of dragons and tigers is no small matter, brother Zhao..." Geng Zhao rejoiced and said, "I'll go! Brother, to tell you the truth, I was discussing this matter with Yumei just now, even if you don't ask me to go, I will go too!" Xin Qiji said: "Miss Qin, you two met again after going through many hardships, are you relieved to let him go?" Qin Nongyu said: "Contributing to the country is not just a man's business. I am about to ask the general for orders, and I also want to go with Brother Zhao." Xin Qiji said happily: "It's rare that Miss Qin understands the righteousness. This matter is going deep into the caves of dragons and tigers. It's very dangerous. I originally wanted to send two people to go together, so that I can take care of them. To put it in a discouraged way, if one of them is lost, I can return to the village." Another came back to report. However, Miss Qin..." Qin Nongyu said: "It is precisely because of the danger that I want to go with Brother Zhao." Sa Lao said: "General Xin, in my opinion, it is better to let our brothers go. Mr. Geng still has important things to take care of. Didn't General Yu ask him to help lead the rebel army?" Xin Qiji said: "I want you to go with Geng Zhao. Your brother stays here, and I also need a capable person to help me. The matter of Feilong Island is a top priority. After Geng Zhao returns, go to Yu There is no delay with the general." This is only a superficial reason. It turned out that Xin Qiji was worried about the danger of the matter, and he was afraid that something unexpected would happen. One of the three Sa brothers died for the country, and he couldn't bear to send them two brothers away. sent together.Of course, he also cherishes Geng Zhao, but there is always a trade-off, so he decided to go with Geng Zhao, Boss Sa. The boss is very experienced in Jianghu and can make up for Geng Zhao's shortcomings, so Xin Qiji made such a decision after careful consideration. Boss Sa understands the ways of the world and understands Xin Qiji's intentions, so he is very grateful.Xin Qiji had already issued a firm order, so he stopped fighting for his brother, and immediately took the arrow with Geng Zhao. Qin Nongyu shouted: "I must go too." She thought to herself: "If brother Zhao is in danger, can I still live alone?" She wanted to "die and live together" with Geng Zhao, although she didn't say anything She said it, but Xin Qiji already understood it deeply from her expression and tone.Immediately said: "Okay, it's rare that you are all going to justice, then the three of you go together." The plan was made, Xin Qiji allocated a decked boat for them, and set sail early the next morning. On the first day, the weather was bright, the sea was calm, and the sailing was very smooth.Boss Sa is capable of both land and water. Steering a boat is like riding a horse. When the boat encounters a favorable wind, it flies like an arrow, faster than a horse.Geng Zhao was a naval trainee in Yu Yunwen's army and knew how to steer a ship, but not as proficient as Boss Sa, so the two of them took turns at the helm.Qin Nongyu couldn't help, so he watched the sea view from the bow of the boat. Under the sun, the waves were calm, and the sea seemed to be covered with a layer of golden brocade.The sky is full of sand gulls flying, and all kinds of strange fish swim at the bottom of the water. There is a kind of flying fish that can jump out of the water, fly in the air for a while like a bird, and then dive into the water.Qin Nongyu was amazed and said with a smile: "The last time when I crossed the river, I encountered a strong wind and big waves, which made me feel sick in the cabin. Only now do I know the scenery on the sea, so it's so beautiful." Boss Sa laughed loudly. "If the weather turns bad, the waves on the sea will be more dangerous than those on the Yangtze River." Qin Nongyu said, "I've experienced seasickness that time, so I've gained some experience. If I encounter storms again, I probably won't be so uncomfortable. .Of course, it's better not to run into each other." The next day there was a bit of wind, but it was a favorable wind, and Qin Nongyu didn't feel much about it. She had nothing to do, and sometimes she would grind the skills that Geng Zhao taught her to sail a boat.When it was about dusk, Boss Sa took out a map of the water area and looked at it, and said with a smile, "If the wind is so smooth tomorrow, we can arrive at Feilong Island earlier." Then use fear. The first half of the third day was still calm, and the sailing was smooth, but at noon, the sky suddenly changed, and in a blink of an eye, the whirlwind rolled up the waves, throwing their boat up and down, and Boss Sa was surprised: "Not good, We've got a big storm at sea!" After a while, the sun faded, the sky was dark, and the waves came in like hills. Boss Sa and Geng Zhao worked together to steer the boat, but the boat was still swaying and erratic.Qin Nongyu collapsed in the cabin, already wanting to vomit, but fortunately Boss Sa had prepared pills to prevent sea sickness and gave her the pills, which made her drowsy, which relieved her uncomfortable feeling. Geng Zhao asked, "What's the direction of the wind?" Boss Sa sighed, "It's against the wind. It's a great fortune that the boat doesn't turn over. Whether we can reach Feilong Island as scheduled or not is up to fate." Suddenly I saw a big ship approaching, with a big flag flying on the bow, painted with skulls, in the gloomy sky and the rough waves, it looked even more hideous and terrifying.Boss Sa was taken aback and said, "Turn the bow quickly to avoid them." Geng Zhao said: "Why, did you encounter a pirate ship?" He thought: "This is a gathering of pirates, why is it so surprising to meet a pirate ship?" Sa Lao said: "This is not an ordinary pirate ship. Kou leader Naohaijiao Fantong's boat, although we are his guests, it is always bad to meet here, we would rather meet his subordinates than meet himself." You must know that Boss Sa took the boat that day. Old Madam Meng's Command Arrow was originally intended to be used in Feilong Island, if she encounters Fan Tong and the subordinates of Feilong Island Master and sees this Command Arrow, of course she will treat them with courtesy and bring them in.But if you meet them in person, of course you know what kind of "guests" they invite, and when you see two unfamiliar faces, you will definitely question them. Together with him, Geng Zhao turned the bow of the ship and turned the rudder to move in another direction.But the wind was so violent that they couldn't manage it well. A mountain-like wave came over, threw their boat up, swooped down, and was swept up by the rapids again. They saw the skull flag right in front of them. They wanted to Wanting to avoid that pirate ship, unexpectedly the distance is even closer. Geng Zhao said: "If it's really impossible to avoid it, I'll go on a pirate ship and fight with them. You take care of Miss Qin and run away quickly." He was going to sacrifice himself to protect them, lest his cousin fall into the hands of thieves. Boss Sa suddenly said: "Hey, something is wrong. Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Geng Zhao said: "What?" Sa Lao said: "Tomorrow is the time for the gathering of bandits. Fan Tong is one of the hosts. He should receive guests on Feilong Island. How can he have the leisure to go to sea? But this ship seems to be on a long voyage come back." Geng Zhao said: "Are you saying that this flag is the symbol of his ship?" Sa Lao said: "I understand. It seems that his men used his ship to pick up the distinguished guests." Geng Zhao cheered up, and said: "If it's not Fan Tong himself, then we don't need to be alarmed. You have the command arrow of the flying dragon island master." Sa said: "That's right, but I don't know what kind of distinguished guest, Fan Tong will pick him up in his own boat." While speaking, the big boat with the skeleton flag was no more than ten feet away from them, adding fuel to the flames, making their small boat even more wobbly.At this moment, a delicate voice suddenly heard shouting: "Isn't that Zhaodi? Hey, Zhaodi, your small boat is sinking, hurry up and get on our big boat!" The voice pierced his ears, and Geng Zhao was taken aback. When he looked up, he saw a young girl standing on the bow of the pirate ship. It was the jade-faced demon fox Lian Qingbo! What surprised Geng Zhao even more was that even Qingbo was worth it, and there was a tall old man beside her, that was Jin Chaoyue, the national teacher of the Kingdom of Jin, "Old Monster of Qilian"!Only then did Geng Zhao understand, no wonder Fan Tong wanted to use his own boat to meet them. Jin Chaoyue laughed, and said: "Princess Qilian, so this kid is Geng Zhao? His father was once favored by our Dajin, and he dared to kill the guards in Jizhou, steal Jiangnan, and become an enemy of our Dajin. Hmph , Hmph, it's really too bold and reckless." Lian Qingbo said softly: "National teacher, don't scare him, he is my good friend." Jin Chaoyue said: "Okay, for the sake of the princess and you, he just needs to obediently surrender to us, I will It’s okay to forgive him.” Lian Qingbo waved and shouted: "Brother Zhao, come on board! You already know my origin, and I don't want to hide it from you. I am the princess bestowed by Emperor Dajin. But now your life is in danger, Even if Master Jin doesn't make things difficult for you, your small boat can't withstand this storm. Let's put aside the grievances for now, I always have good intentions for you, you don't need me to help you get on the boat, right?" Geng Zhao was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he was about to yell at him, but Qin Nongyu had already yelled out for him: "You, you demon fox, haven't you hurt us enough? You are so human!" It turned out that Qin Nongyu heard Lian Qingbo's voice in a drowsy state. She was startled and woke up suddenly. She had a bloody hatred, and now facing her enemy, how could she not be angry and angry?She didn't know where the strength came from, she got up and walked out of the bow. Geng Zhao saw her trembling appearance, and her footsteps seemed to be unsteady. He was startled, and quickly said: "Sister Yu, you go back. Let me deal with her." Lian Qingbo sneered and said: "Miss Qin, you have forgotten your revenge for killing your father so quickly, and you are actually in love with your enemy?" Qin Nongyu cursed angrily: "Yaohu, you still want to lie to me? You are the enemy who killed my father! Brother Zhao, she also killed your mother. We must not let her go!" She was too impulsive , before the words were finished, wow, a mouthful of blood spit out. Lian Qingbo's complexion changed suddenly, and he laughed loudly: "Oh, so you all know? Well, let's see how you deal with me?" Jin Chaoyue said: "This kid doesn't know how to praise, why talk to him? Princess, do you want to live or die?" Lian Qingbo said: "It's better to live." Jin Chaoyue laughed and said: "Princess, after all He is still a man of love and righteousness." A long rope suddenly flew out amidst loud laughter. The rope was wrapped around the mast at the bow of the ship, and Geng Zhao's small boat was dragged towards the big ship by him in the stormy sea.Geng Zhao drew out his sword and chopped it off. Jin Chaoyue waved his left hand, and with a "hoo", another long fly flew out. Falling, luckily it didn't wrap around his wrist. Boss Sa shouted: "Don't be a monster!" With both hands outstretched, they grabbed the two ropes. The heavy hand of the heavy pendant fixes the figure, but it can still stand firm. Fortunately, Geng Zhao's skill is not what it used to be, otherwise his arm would have been broken if he hit it, but now he only feels a little pain and is not injured.Geng Zhao picked up the sword, just swiped two swords, and cut off the two taut ropes. The boat lost its pull, and a wave came and threw it up. Qin Nongyu couldn't stand firmly and was about to fall.Geng Zhao quickly carried her into the cabin. Boss Sa suddenly lost his center of gravity. Even if he used the weight-weight method of the jackhammer, he couldn't help but hovered a few times on the bow to stabilize his figure.The strength of Jin Chaoyue's hands on the other side was suddenly cut off, but he couldn't help but "gudong" and landed on the bottom of the boat, sitting on the board. At this time, there was a headwind, and Geng Zhao's boat fell down, being swept by the current, he was far away from the big boat.Jin Chaoyue stood up and said angrily, "Catch up and sink it!" There were thirty-two sailors in Fan Tong's boat, and they all paddled like galloping horses, rushed past the countercurrent, and caught up. Geng Zhao said: "Let's fight!" Put Qin Nongyu down, drew out his sword, and prepared to jump on the big boat to fight when the two boats approached.Boss Sa said in a deep voice: "I can't!" Geng Zhao said: "Could it be that it was sunk by it and buried in the belly of the fish?" The arrival is only a few feet away. With Jin Chaoyue's ability, he could have been condescending and jumped off their boat.Boss Sa and Geng Zhao are both exhausted, they are definitely not his opponents, and it is not difficult to capture them alive. But in this violent wind and waves, Jin Chaoyue was also afraid of making mistakes. If he fell into the sea, wouldn't he be asking for bad luck?Therefore, he still followed the original plan and told the sailors to row hard to sink the boat. Lian Qingbo said: "It seems that their small boat is going to sink soon, why not follow it, and when it sinks, then fish up these people. It's better to live than to die." The boat was more than ten times larger than Geng Zhao's boat, and when it crashed with the force of Mount Tai, the boat might be broken into pieces, and the people on board might not survive. Jin Chaoyue said with a smile: "Princess, don't forget that we are going to Feilong Island tonight. Tomorrow is the meeting date. It's better to finish it quickly to save trouble. Besides, if you take this kid in, I'm afraid that Gongsun Qi...haha, I'm afraid Gongsun Qi is not willing either!" Lian Qingbo blushed, and said: "The national teacher is joking. I just want to capture the criminal alive for the emperor." Jin Chaoyue said: "It's more important to rush to Feilong Island. We can't delay this kid's life or death." Lian Qingbo Qingbo said: "Okay, let's follow the national teacher's idea." It was too late and then quickly, the big boat and the small boat came closer again, almost touching each other end to end, Lian Qingbo shouted: "Geng Zhao, you are already dead. Are you still not listening to my advice?" Geng Zhao was about to jump on the big boat regardless of everything, when he suddenly heard the boss of Desa shout: "Use heavy body to stand firm on the port side!" Suddenly he turned the bow of the boat, instead of running forward, he rammed into the stern of the big boat. Hearing a "bang", a wave column several feet high was stirred up. At this moment, the boat was thrown up abruptly, as if flying through the clouds for a long time.萨老大站在右舷，耿照站在左舷，都以千斤坠的重身法稳定船身，小船兀是东歪西倒，但也幸而萨老大预先吩咐，有了准备，各在一边，定着船身，才不致有覆舟之险。 瞬息之间，小舟已在几个洪峰之上滑过，这次他们顺着水流，狂风催浪，也催送小舟，当真有一泻千里之势，不消多久，浪没有这么大了，小舟稍稍稳定下来。耿照抬眼望去，只见那只大船远远的只剩下一个黑点，似乎在海面打着圈圈。 萨老大吁了口气，说道：“算是过了一关了，你快去看看秦姑娘。” 只见秦弄玉面如白纸，手足冰凉，耿照惊道：“玉妹，你怎么啦？”秦弄玉颤声说道：“我倒似好了一些，胸口没那么闷了。就是有点觉得冷。” 幸好这时风力已大大减弱，小船也过了水流湍急之处，渐渐慢了下来，没那么颠簸了。秦弄玉虽说无事，耿照却很不放心，叫道：“萨大叔，请你进来看一看秦姑娘。” 萨老大察看水纹，知道并无甚危险，暂时不用掌舵，他稍通医理，进去给秦弄玉把了把脉，笑道：“秦姑娘身体不适，还是因为晕浪与精神疲倦所致，并非受了内伤。她刚才是一时激怒，口吐鲜血，吐血之后，胸中积闷发散，对身体只有好处，没有坏处，耿相公倒可放心。” 耿照放下了心上的石头，发觉小船走得很慢，不觉又有点忧虑，说道：“他们那只大船比我们快得多，难关还是没有渡过。咦，怎的不见他们追来？”原来他凝眸远察，却连那只大船的影子都看不见了。 萨老大笑道：“他们决计赶不上我们了，如今他们即使不是丧身鱼腹。只怕也要比咱们狼狈得多。” 耿照诧道：“为什么？”萨老大说道：“咱们的船只虽小，船头却是包着铁甲的，刚才那么一撞，我是对准他们船尾最薄的那一部份撞去，少说也要撞他一个窟窿。”耿照这才明白，适才两船遭遇之时，萨老大何以禁止他跳上大船冒险，原来他是深明双方船只的构造，早已成竹在胸。 耿照喜道：“倘若如此，那真是邀天之幸了。萨大叔，你歇一会，我替你掌舵。”这时小船又有倾侧摇荡的现象，但萨老大察看水纹，却知正是顺流而下，论理不该有此现象，心中甚感诧异。 秦弄玉道：“照哥，给我一口水喝，我口渴得很。” 耿照抬眼一看，这才发现盛有淡水的皮袋，以及贮备的粮食都已无影无踪。原来在刚才两船相撞，他们这只小船被抛起之时，船中的一切杂物，都已被风浪卷去。船中空荡荡的，除了他们三个人之外，是再也没有一件东西了。 耿照暗暗叫苦，忽听得秦弄玉道：“那不是水吗？”只听得汩汩声响，原来他们的船，右侧船舱板壁也给震裂了一个小孔，海水正在渐渐地侵进来。秦弄玉神智还不是十分清醒，只道那是皮袋的水泻在地上。 耿照这一惊非同小可，无物可以堵塞，只好伏下用掌封住小洞，说道：“这可怎么办？玉妹，这是侵进来的海水，不能喝的。”秦弄玉定了定神，这才弄清楚了是怎么一回事情。 秦弄玉叹口气道：“照哥，都是我累了你了。”耿照微微一笑，说道：“你还记得大明湖畔那次，你要与我同归于尽吗？那时你我倘若真是同时死了，你心中充满恨意，我死了也不得安宁；如今最多也不过一个死，情景可是大大不同了，你为我感到歉意，我更为你感到欢喜。”耿照处此绝境，自忖难以生还，因此顾不了萨老大在旁，便说出了心中言语。秦弄玉苍白的脸上泛起一圈红晕，嗔道：“照哥！这个时候你还有心情说笑。”他似嗔实喜，脸上晕红，心中无限甜意。 萨老大道：“还有一线希望，你我必须打起精神，掌稳了舵，堵住漏洞，只要碰上渔船经过，就有救了。此时万万松懈不得。”耿照道：“是，玉妹，你忍着些儿。”这时船舱板壁的缺口已是渐渐扩大，耿照一掌难以封闭，索性把整个身子堵上去，忍受那海水入侵的压力。秦弄玉口渴如焚，但见耿照如此情形，心想照哥所受的痛苦比我更大，也就不觉得怎么难过了。 风暴过后，瞑色四合，在海上又过了一个白天，明日就是飞龙岛的会期了。但这时萨、耿等三人死生难卜，萨老大的水域图也早已湿成一团，无法展读，不知航线对是不对，只好都不管了。 一弯眉月，似是从海中升起，这时已是风平浪静，月色柔和，“海上生明月”，本来是诗人咏叹的幽美境界，但这时他们在死亡线上挣扎，心情却是极不安宁。 他们在海上经过大风浪，经过大厮杀，又漂流了整整一天，没水喝，没东西吃，秦弄玉本来就已晕浪，不用说了；萨、耿二人，饶是耿照以身体堵住缺口，又冷又饿，又要抵受海浪冲击的压力，初时还有痛苦的感觉，渐渐连感觉也麻木了，似乎身体已在僵化，脑中空荡荡的，但觉一片茫然。 萨老大也渐渐没有气力把船，忽听得耿照呻吟之声，他回头一看，只见耿照似是瘫在船上，身子被水冲开，原来那缺口愈来愈大，耿照已是挡不住水力的冲压。萨老大这一惊非同小可，要去抢救。祸不单行，他把舵不稳，轰隆一声，又撞着一块礁石，小船搁浅，船板破裂，海水大量灌了进来，小船渐渐下沉。耿照一咬舌头，陡地振作精神，抱起了秦弄玉，但这时哪还有逃生之望？耿照苦笑道：“玉妹，咱们不是同年同月同日生，这回却是同年同月同日死了！” 眼看就要同归于尽，就在这千钧一发之时，忽听得风帆猎猎，一只快船箭一般地驶来，靠近了他们这只小船，有个女子的声音说道：“将他们救起来。”船中走出六个少女，两个拉一个，把他们三人都拉上了她们那一条船。exactly: If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter.
