The implication is that you have to pay more! I need the fish to bite the hook, so I won't care about money. I want them to know that this trip to sea is a 'big deal'.
"The money is easy to talk about. As long as the boat can get to where I want to go, the price is whatever you want."
When the gangster and the captain heard this, their expressions changed.
The Yahang guy was surprised, and the boat owner was shocked.
The guy took a commission from the transaction amount. The larger the transaction amount between me and the boat owner, the more he took. So when he heard that I was willing to pay a sky-high price for the charter fee, his face lit up with joy.
The ship owner confirmed that I wanted to buy the lives of a whole ship of people.
I agreed readily, but he hesitated, saying that he had to discuss it with the crew. This was no small matter. The crew members all had their families and they couldn't just leave.
"I'll wait one more day. If it doesn't work, forget it." The price was high and the time was tight. The information I revealed was obvious enough.
The captain promised everything, saying that he would go back immediately to discuss with the crew and give me an answer one day later.
That night, the inn received uninvited guests.
Several men in black appeared outside my room door and outside my window. They let some insects into the house from under the door.
The bugs crawled to where I was meditating, and I wrapped them in bubbles.
Then I gathered the bubbles together and placed them on the coffee table next to me.
The person outside the window knocked on the window very softly, but there was no movement in the room. The person outside knocked harder twice more.
I still didn't move in the house. The person outside the window used a dagger to pry open the window, jumped over and jumped into the house. He rolled on the spot and came to me.
They covered their faces and first lit smoke when they entered the room. Only when the room was filled with smoke did they reach out to me.
"Ah..." The masked man stretched out his hand and let out a short cry. There was a small insect lying on the back of his hand, just the kind that the man in black outside the door let in through the crack of the door.
"Old Rong, what happened to your bug?" The masked man growled at the door and hurriedly ran to the door, "I was bitten by it, get the antidote quickly!"
The person inside the door went to pull the door latch, but the door latch was entangled with the air thread and could not be opened at all.
"The door is stuck, please fix it outside." The masked man made a weak voice.
"Damn it, I can't open it!" The person outside the door tried to use a dagger to open the door bolt, but found that it couldn't be opened, and the door bolt seemed to be welded to the door.
The other masked man in the room hesitated to reach out.
He took two steps back, retreated to the window, and stared at me warily.
"Monkey, are you sure she's fainted? Why do I feel like she's staring at me!" The masked man who retreated to the window said with a trembling voice.
The masked man who was bitten by the insect cursed him and retreated to the window. He wanted to go through the window and meet the people outside the door downstairs to detoxify.
Bang——
The window automatically closed when there was no wind, making the two people by the window tremble.
They are not like well-trained killers or secret guards, and they have a strong smell of seafood.
"Kick this window open!" The bitten person has moved slowly, his steps are unsteady, and he staggers every step he takes.
He asked his companion to kick open the window, but his companion ran back to me and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Auntie, please forgive me! We just came to steal something, there is absolutely no harm in life..." His voice was filled with tears.
I have to admit that although he is timid, he also has keen intuition that is beyond ordinary people.
"Are you crazy?"
The two people outside the door had already gone downstairs, preparing to join their accomplices, but the two people inside the house had not yet left.
I didn't pay attention to the small fish and shrimps, so I immediately retracted the air thread and the window opened automatically.
"Carry me down quickly!" the bitten masked man urged his accomplices.
"Thank you, auntie, for sparing my life!" The masked man kowtowed to me, then got up and went back to the window, picked up his accomplice and jumped out of the window.
I used some tricks to make them lose their balance in mid-air. The one who was bitten by the insect fell to the ground and broke one of his legs.
Another man broke his arm, and their screams attracted their accomplices and woke up the innkeepers and guests.
The two able-bodied men each picked up an accomplice and ran away.
The waiter got up and checked inside the inn. They thought a thief had broken in to see if anything was missing.
After confirming that nothing was missing, he comforted the guest and went back to his room to sleep.
Early the next morning, several Jianghu guests came to the inn looking for someone. They were looking for a woman wearing a black gauze hat.
Before they finished speaking, a group of officers surrounded the inn, saying they wanted to capture wanted criminals.
The portrait of the criminal is a woman wearing black clothes and a black gauze hat.
I finished my breakfast calmly upstairs, and a large group of people had gathered downstairs.
Before they even saw me, they started quarreling over the 'Dragon Palace Order'.
It's nothing to be afraid of if you can start a quarrel in public at the inn.
They didn't even bother me, so they started to attack in the hall.
The innkeeper tried to dissuade him, but was slapped away by one of them.
Without the martial arts alliance in the world, all demons and ghosts came out to act recklessly.
The officers and soldiers outside the inn retreated a distance, obviously wanting to reap the benefits.
When they attack downtown areas, they will inevitably hurt ordinary people.
I jumped out of the window and climbed onto the roof of the inn first. People outside saw me, and then I used Qinggong and ran out of the city.
"She ran away——"
"Hurry up!"
When the people fighting in the inn heard the shouting, they immediately let go of their opponents and rushed towards me.
I jumped up and down on the roof. If I knew how to do it easily, I would fly up to the roof to chase him. If I didn't know how, I would just run around in the market below.
After running out of a street, two groups of men in black suddenly appeared on the roof with crossbows in their hands. They were lying in wait on the roof, waiting for me to approach and immediately appeared to fire the crossbows.
I didn't hide either, I just used my air shield to deflect the crossbow arrows.
They can't affect my speed of leaving the city at all.
The Jianghu people who were chasing me were more unlucky. The crossbows had no eyes, and they followed me into the shooting range. They could only hide or resist, which slowed down the pursuit of me.
I raced all the way out of the city, chasing away the Jianghu people who caught up with me in the dense forest outside the city.
They all circled in the dense forest, and when they met their colleagues, they fought again.
I waited until dark before returning to the inn. The captain was waiting at the door of the inn. When he saw me coming back, he immediately came forward. His expression was fine, but the mood in his heart was not normal.
He said that he had discussed it with the crew and they were willing to work for me as long as the money was enough.
If that's the case, why is he beating the drum in his heart?
"It's best to set off tonight, I'm afraid we'll encounter bad weather if we're late," he added hurriedly.
"Oh." I nodded understandingly, "Of course the sooner the better."
He took me to the dock and showed me his boat himself. He was the owner of the boat but he never went to sea with it.
The captain was waiting for me under the boat. When he saw us coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted me.
The ship owner introduced: "This is the captain Li Shun. He is responsible for everything on the ship."
"Thank you, let's set off." I gave a slight salute and quickly boarded the ship with Captain Li Shun.
Everyone on the ship is at their respective posts, ready to start at any time.
I glanced around and evaluated each one, and I couldn't help but secretly thought, wow, the people on this boat are all fake sailors!
