Yin Ziqi captured Feng Ruofang not to kill him, but to use it as a bargaining chip to save An Qingxu. Unexpectedly, the other party let Nao Wen and An Qingxu go together, which was a surprise. However, Yin Ziqi has rich experience in the world, and the more he At this time, he didn't dare to relax at all, and immediately said: "Dugu Zhang, you are a senior expert who has been famous in the world for a long time, so you can't lie."
Dugu Wen smiled and said, "Old man, of course I keep my word." He knew that Yin Ziqi was more concerned about An Qingxu's life and death, so he deliberately held An Qingxu captive, but threw the trouble in front of him and said, "Here, I'll give it back to you first. .”
Naowen didn't know martial arts. After being caught by Dugu Wen for a while, he only felt that his bones were numb and his muscles were numb. Naowen was so used to being pampered that he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up. At this time, the big food warriors on the deck couldn't protect themselves. As he looked around, naturally no one among the pirates came to help him, so Yan Zhuang had no choice but to rush forward to see him and help him up.
When Naowen saw that it was Yan Zhuang and knew that he could talk about Dashi, he hurriedly asked him. Dugu asked: "Yan Sheng, tell him not to ask any more questions. Chief Feng said to let him live."
However, Yan Zhuang did not interrupt Naowen immediately. He kept smiling and waited for Naowen to finish, and then translated for him as Dugu Wen said. Naowen never expected that he could survive death, but he still had some guts. , muttered a few words with an arrogant expression, probably talking about something special, but Yan Zhuang just smiled and did not translate for him, so no one knew what he said.
Yin Ziqi knew that Feng Ruofang had the final say on the sea, so he let go of Feng Ruofang's wrist and said, "Big boss, I've offended you a lot."
The only person Yin Ziqi feared was Jiang Shuo. Although he let go of Feng Ruofang, he was actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside. He tightened his grip on Xintinghou. If Feng Ruofang wanted to run away, or if Jiang Shuo dared to suddenly attack, he would be sure to regain control of Feng Ruofang.
Feng Ruofang didn't know why. He had some free time and asked Dugu, "Dugu Zhang, please let the second master An go too."
Dugu Wen immediately let go of An Qingxu. Unexpectedly, An Qingxu turned over and struck Dugu Wen with a knife on his shoulder with his left palm. He made a fist with his right hand and punched Dugu Wen in the lower abdomen. This was a move in the Xiqi sword technique in which the sword was added with a fist, but the palm was used instead of the sword. . He worshiped Yin Ziqi as his teacher, and worked hard in the Zhulong Kung Fu and Xiqi Dao. He thought he had obtained the true teachings, but he was caught accidentally because of his carelessness. He was quite dissatisfied and suddenly attacked Dugu Wen.
Dugu Wen chuckled, pushed An Qingxu's left elbow with his right hand, and supported his right elbow with his left hand. At the same time, he kicked the calf point of his left knee very secretly with his toes. An Qingxu felt his knees go weak, and he knelt on one leg, involuntarily. He bent his arms inwards and struck the ground with his left palm on top of his right fist. To outsiders, it looked like An Qingxu knelt down to greet Dugu Wen.
Dugu Wen smiled and said, "Why is Second Master An so polite? He even kowtowed to my father-in-law before leaving."
Only then did An Qingxu realize that there was so much difference between him and Dugu Wen. He even knelt on his knees. He simply knelt down and said, "I don't accept that the master is guilty. Dugu Zhang showed mercy. Qingxu should thank you for it." His words were indeed true. Appropriate, but looking at his red face and thick neck, anyone with a discerning eye would know that he really suffered a big loss.
Yin Ziqi couldn't help but snorted and said, "Dugu Zhang was known as the third son of the Central Plains back then. He was very respectful in his family affairs. How could I know his old man's tricks?"
An Qingxu then stood up, not daring to make another mistake, and lowered his head and said yes.
Feng Ruofang ordered his men: "Arrange a small boat to send Mr. An, Mr. Yin and King Naowen away, and no one can stop them." His last words were directed at Xu Lai.
Yin Ziqi said: "Yan Sheng is the Kongmu officer of An Shuai. Please give it back to the chief." He pointed at the brothers He Wanzai and He Qianqian on the floating wood in the sea and said: "These Khitan people, the chief left It’s useless to use it, so why not leave it to us as oarsmen?”
Brother Er He has always been dressed like a Khitan hunter. At this moment, the wrapping around his head has long fallen off, revealing his bald head. Feng Ruofang glanced sideways and said: "No one wants the Khitan barbarian. He is not worth the money, so he will give it to Mr. Yin." Face. But the big cannibal can’t pay back anything except making a fuss. We have already suffered a huge loss in this business, and we have to take these stones back.”
Pirates call human trafficking "buying stones." Although the food slaves are not as valuable as the Kunlun slaves, they are still worth a lot because they are rare.
Naowen couldn't speak Chinese until he was put down into the boat along with Yin Ziqi and others.
Only then did he realize that the big eater had not been released. He hurriedly asked Yan Zhuang, and Yan Zhuang translated what Feng Ruofang said for him. Naowen was shocked and yelled, but who in this sea at this moment would listen to him? The noise? Yin Ziqi impatiently tapped the acupuncture point on the back of his head, and Naowen fell weakly onto the boat.
The Erhe brothers and the surviving warriors in the Xuanji Formation took up the oars together. They were not boatmen and oarsmen, but they moved in unison and swung the oars together, pushing the boat crookedly forward in the ice sea. The small boat could not withstand the wind and waves, so it naturally did not dare to go out to sea. Instead, it turned northwest and sailed into the frozen Bohai Sea. After passing through the ice floe area and reaching the solid ice, it was possible to abandon the boat and walk back to the west coast on the ice. The area under the jurisdiction of Fanyang Jiedushi.
The Yazhou pirates continued to salvage the big cannibal, and the salvage was not completed until noon. The fleet turned south and only eighty miles away, they reached the last island in the Wuhu island chain, north of Daxie Island. Feng Ruofang said to Said: "Dugu Zhang, Young Master Jiang, you have to go to Dengzhou after turning around Daxie Island. You know, soldiers and bandits are on different roads. Although I am not afraid of the navy in Dengzhou, the six thousand miles north this time has been greatly traveled." If you lose money, it’s better to have one less thing than one more thing, so we’ll send each other here.”
So he lowered a small boat for Jiang Shuo and the others to use. Jiang Shuo also wanted to intercede for the big cannibals captured on the boat, so he crossed his hands to Feng Ruofang and said, "Big leader, these big cannibals..."
Feng Ruofang said: "The cannibalism is not in the eyes of the dignitaries in Gyeonggi. We will drag them to Mingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River and try our luck to see if we can sell them at a good price. What, Master Jiang, do you have any advice?"
Before Jiang Shuo could say anything, Dugu Wen interrupted Jiang Shuo, cupped his hands towards Feng Ruofang and said, "Goodbye, I wish Chief Feng a prosperous business."
Feng Ruofang sneered and said, "Easy to say, easy to say."
Jiang Shuo understood what Dugu Wen meant. Feng Ruofang was moody and a ruthless character on the sea. He chased the big cannibal on the sea and traveled six thousand miles for several months. He insisted on selling the big cannibal as a slave. The situation was difficult. persuade. ” He could only swallow his words, and together with Dugu Wen, he cupped his fists and said goodbye to Feng Ruofang. Feng Ruofang was so proud that he ordered the fleet to turn around and go back to the south around the Dengzhou Peninsula.
This small boat is said to be a small boat, but that is because it is huge compared to the loach boat. In fact, it contains Jiang Shuo, Dugu Wen, Dugu Xiang, Xu Lai, Peng Gufan and two horses. It is not too crowded. The boat was equipped with all the equipment. Xu Lai and Peng Gufan were both experts in boating. Although there were only two of them, after a lot of effort, they were able to row faster than the Erhe brothers and more than a dozen people. Flexibly turn west around Daxie Island and head towards Dengzhou.
Dengzhou is the largest port in the north. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi State had built a seaport here. Its port is located at the northernmost end of Qi, facing Daxie Island across a fifteen-mile-wide waterway.
Xu Lai pointed south on the small boat and said to Jiang Shuo: "Young Master, to the south is Dengzhou Port, also known as Penglai."
Dugu Xiang said: "I heard that Penglai is a fairy island on the sea. Why is it on land?"
Peng Gufan smiled and said: "We all know that we often take the Beidao Road. There are no fairy islands in the world. In the Qin Dynasty, it was said that there were three fairy mountains in Minghai: Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the people of Yanqi used the Bohai Sea as their north. Ming, Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty both sent people to the sea to seek immortality. Until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they simply called this land "Penglai". "
Jiang Shuo said: "Oh, I know, this is called the method of overwhelming victory."
While he was talking, he suddenly saw three huge stern ships approaching the small boat. Jiang Shuo said, "Hey...how did Chief Feng go and come back?"
Dugu Xiang said in a trembling voice: "What's going on and coming back? They want to sink us! Could it be that they are afraid that we will report their human trafficking activities to the government, so they want to kill and silence them."
Jiang Shuo said: "This...Brother Xu, try to dodge quickly." As he spoke, he drew out the seven-star sword and said: "Now we can only fight to the death."
Xu Lai and Peng Gufan laughed loudly and did not steer the boat.
Jiang Shuo was surprised and said, "Brothers, are you still in the mood to laugh at this moment?"
Dugu Wen had already seen some clues. He said to Jiang Shuo and Xiang'er: "Shuo'er, Xiang'er, look under those three ships."
Shuo and Xiang looked under the ship and discovered that when the three large ships were sailing on the ice floes, they did not push away the sea water or ice floes at all.
It seems to be floating from the sea.
Dugu Xiang said: "Ah... it's a ghost ship!"
Three large ships were approaching, and suddenly they turned into smoke and disappeared out of thin air.
Both Shuo and Xiang were stunned by the sight before them. Duguxiang rubbed his eyes vigorously and said, "Why did it suddenly disappear? Is it really a ghost ship?"
Dugu Wen already understood. He twisted his beard and said, "It's a mirage."
Duguxiang asked: "Grandpa, what is this 'mirage'?" "
Peng Gufan said: "It is said that there is a huge clam in the sea, called a "mirage". The mirage exhales in the sea and transforms into a mirage. It is not really a fairy mountain. The same is true for these sea ships. They are all mirages." scene. "
Dugu Wen shook his head and said: "It is said that there is a mirage scene in the vast sea in Mobei. There are no big clams there. It should be due to the refraction of the sky. These three ships seem to be quite imaginary with the three loach ships led by Feng." , I’m afraid it’s the special clouds and mist that cast the shadows of the three ships on the sea.”
Dugu Xiang didn't like reading. She only liked to read one book, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". There were many stories about supernatural beings in it. She read this book too many times and only knew that the gods and monsters recorded in the book were real. Now listen to Peng Gu Fan said that overseas fairy mountains did not exist, and Grandpa also said that the theory of mirages exhaling breath did not exist either. He could not help but pout and feel unhappy.
Xu Lai said: "No matter what the cause is, mirage wonders are very rare, and they mostly occur in spring and summer, and are not seen again later in the year. It is really rare for the young master to see this wonder in the winter moon."
