About an hour later, the Minjiang Gang's cargo ship arrived at Rongzhou, Shu's first important pass on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
But when everyone thought they were about to face the first round of inspections, the scene was unexpected. _o_m
I saw dozens of boats of different shapes and sizes parked scattered across the river.
Two of them had special shapes, high ships and thick boards. They were setting huge sails and making hunting noises. At a glance, it was obvious that they were the double-decker sea falcon warships of the Shu Kingdom.
The fleet has a strong lineup, but no one is seen taking command on the ship at this moment.
Everyone stood at the bow of the ship, and Hou Dayu ordered his subordinates to slow down the ship and gradually approach the ship array.
"It's strange. I have never seen such a battle in the past... Please don't show your face later. I will go out and deal with it."
As the boat got closer, Wang Qi'an showed a warning look and said:
"Brother Hou, please don't act rashly! There is no one on board, so this matter is very fishy. And..."
His expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and shouted to Hou Dayu:
"Brother Hou, please quickly order your subordinates to stop the ship."
Although Hou Dayu didn't know why, he saw Wang Qi'an's face was serious and solemn, so he hurried away quickly.
After a while, I felt the hull of the boat shake, and its speed gradually slowed down until it became suspended on the river surface and stopped moving forward.
At this time, it was less than a hundred feet away from the ship formation.
"Hey, why did you stop the boat..."
Qian Xiyue rushed to everyone's side angrily, but glanced ahead and immediately stopped talking.
Because she also saw something wrong.
"Are these ships here to intercept us? Why aren't there any guards?"
Wang Qi'an had no intention of answering her, so he casually took a piece of wood next to him, shattered it into several pieces, and threw it out. People followed him and jumped from the bow of the ship.
"I'll go explore and come back..."
Wang Qi'an spread out his body skills, and with the help of wood pieces, he crossed the river in an instant and jumped onto one of the Sea Falcon warships.
"Hey, wait for me..."
Qian Xiyue became so curious that she imitated Wang Qi'an, picked up a wooden board, threw it to the river, and then jumped in.
The difference is that she didn't smash the board, but stood on it and slid forward with her strength.
The Xihai Sect is located on the west coast. Qian Xiyue has been dealing with water since she was a child, so her water skills are naturally not weak.
Wang Qi'an didn't expect Qian Xiyue to follow. Seeing her appear on the deck, he had to say:
"You'd better follow me closely, otherwise if something happens, I won't be able to protect you..."
Qian Xiyue snorted, wrinkled her nose slightly, and said disdainfully:
"I haven't seen anything in this girl. Who wants you to protect me? You check yours, and I'll check mine. Don't follow me..."
After she finished speaking, she swept towards the other direction of the ship.
Wang Qi'an hesitated, shook his head helplessly, and ran after the woman.
The two patrolled outside for a week and found nothing.
Qian Xiyue turned around and ran into the cabin first, only to hear him scream and shout hurriedly:
"Hey, hey, come on, come on..."
Wang Qian couldn't help but quickly rushed into the cabin after hearing the sound.
I saw corpses lying in the cabin, and looking at the armor, they were all Shu troops.
The wall facing the cabin door was painted with ten bold blood-red characters:
"The temple will last forever, those who obey will prosper, and those who go against will perish!"
Wang Qi'an saw that Qian Xiyue had been silent since she called him, and her eyes were staring at the big red characters on the wall.
Wang Qi'an thought there were some details that he had overlooked, so he couldn't help but look at the ten bloody words and examine them carefully.
He suddenly felt dizzy, and the font gradually expanded in front of his eyes. The blood-red color seemed to jump out of the wall and rush towards him.
"No...this is evil..."
Wang Qian was shocked and was about to reach out to pull Qian Xiyue, but he felt a force of energy coming towards him.
Qian Xiyue's eyes were red and his face was full of resentment. He was holding a sun and moon wheel and was slashing towards his arm.
"Those who face...soldiers...fight..."
Wang Qi'an shouted the nine-character mantra. When Qian Xiyue's body stagnated, several fingers quickly came out and landed on the large Lingtai acupoint on his body.
Qian Xiyue made a "pop" sound and spat out a mouthful of blood. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

My head went blank, and then I had a splitting headache.
"This place is very evil, leave quickly..."
When Wang Qi'an saw Qian Xiyue waking up, he quickly pulled her out of the cabin.
Qian Xiyue covered her temples, looking a little sluggish, and murmured blankly:
"What happened to me just now?"
After Wang Qi'an briefly explained what happened in the cabin, Qian Xiyue shouted loudly:
"Ah! It's the white fox's blood curse...
The white fox once introduced to me the various evil arts he is good at. One of them is to use the blood that has been cursed to write words and patterns to make the viewer evil...
It is said that... people who have been hit by this curse will lose all their consciousness and their hearts will be full of resentment and hatred, so they will easily kill anyone they see...
Ah... the dead white fox... the stinking white fox... how dare you use this technique against me..."
Although she scolded Bai Hutong, her eyes secretly glanced at Wang Qi'an. _o_m
"So, Jiuyou City is very likely to have joined forces with Yama Luodian...
This is a Shu warship, and the victims inside are all Shu soldiers. Why does Yama Luodian deal with them? Could it be that because the assassination of Meng Chang failed, he was angry at others? "
After Wang Qi'an pondered for a moment, he said to Qian Xiyue:
"You're injured, just wait for me here. I'll go check out other ships and see if I find anything..."
Qian Xiyue took out a small pill from her arms and swallowed it, waving her hands quickly and saying:
"No, no, I have to go too..."
Wang Qian had no choice but to shake his head and lead the way.
The situation on the other Sea Falcon warship was no different.
But Qian Xiyue learned the lesson this time and hurriedly closed her eyes when she saw the blood red area.
After the two patrolled the other speedboats, they returned to the first Sea Falcon boat.
"It seems that the corpses of other ships have been gathered into these two large ships... What is the purpose of Yama Luodian doing this?"
At this time, there was a sound of galloping horse hooves from the shore.
A moment later, hundreds of armored cavalry appeared in front of them. Behind them, they were closely pursued by nearly a thousand infantrymen armed with long spears.
Wang Qi'an couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw the word "Liao" written on the team's flag.
Because Hou Dayu once told him that the guard general of Rongzhou City was named Meng Jing, who was a descendant of the royal noble family of the Meng family, and was Meng Chang's cousin in terms of seniority.
So where does this "Liao" family army come from?
Wang Qi'an had no time to think about it, because this team of people had begun to push out more than a dozen small boats from the shore, and a group of twenty people were heading towards the position of the two Sea Falcon main ships where he and Qian Xiyue were.
Naturally, Wang Qi'an could not jump back to the Minjiang Gang's cargo ship at this moment, so he and Qian Xiyue had to find a stack of wooden boxes in the cabin to hide.
In order to prevent visitors from accidentally falling into the white fox boy's blood curse, Wang Qi'an had previously erased all the blood words on the wall.
They hid themselves, footsteps were heard outside the cabin, the ship trembled, and at least a hundred people rushed in roaring. .
