The next day Yaoniang suddenly saw a big ship on the sea and called Pei Liang out quickly.
"In which direction is it going?" The woman was confused. From her perspective, the two ships seemed to be stationary on the water.
Pei Liang explained: "Just look at the bow and stern of the ship. The bow is generally higher than the stern. The bow is pointed and the stern is flat, which helps reduce resistance."
"That's it." Yaoniang nodded. After taking a closer look, she finally discovered that the two ships were heading in the same direction.
"It looks like it's a cargo ship." Pei Liang's eyesight is much stronger than that of ordinary people. From this distance, he can see every move of the people on the other side's ship.
When Yaoniang heard that it was a cargo ship, her eyes lit up and she quickly urged Pei Liang to catch up with them, just in time to exchange some daily necessities with them.
The package of gold ingots and silver notes presented by Lu Qingyan was worried that there was no place to spend it.
Pei Liang didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he raised his energy and flew to the mast.
The two ships were about the same size, but because the ship in front was fully loaded with cargo, it was definitely not as fast as our own ship. In less than half a stick of incense, the two ships had closed to less than a hundred feet.
Pei Liang adjusted the sail in time to avoid collision.
After taking the gold ingot from Yaoniang, Pei Liang asked her to go back to the ship building and board the ship alone.
Some people began to gather on the deck of the other party's cargo ship. They were all dressed as boatmen or men responsible for transportation, and they all poked their heads here.
Pei Liang covered his face, jumped up, and as quickly as an eagle landed on the bow of the opponent's ship.
The frightened boatman and crew fled one after another. At the same time, a group of people armed with knives and clubs hurried over and surrounded Pei Liang.
The three women who were watching secretly through the window no longer looked nervous as before. They all had relaxed expressions on their faces. Although they didn't know how powerful Pei Liang's golden body was, they had passed through all the way without any rivals. How could these people do it? No matter how hard it is.
"It's great to have martial arts. You won't be afraid no matter where you go." Yaoniang took a bite of the preserved fruit in her hand.
"That's right. If I know martial arts, I can beat whoever I want!" Xiao Wan said with envy.
Lu Qingyan sat back on the stool and said with a smile: "Practicing martial arts is not an easy task. Not only does it require a lot of hardship, but your character also has to be tempered. You can't even control your own desires."
"Hey, this is the only thing I admire about Pei." Xiao Wan sighed softly.
"What do you admire about him?" Yaoniang became more and more familiar with Xiaowan and asked casually, patting the maid's shoulder.
"His martial arts skills are so high, but he can still show off his skills without showing off or bullying the weak. This is amazing!"
Xiao Wan's words made Yaoniang and Lu Qingyan nod unconsciously. This girl had never been kind to Pei Liang before, so it was even more valuable to be able to say this.
Pei Liang, who came in empty-handed, startled the three women with his first words.
"Pack it all together, we have to change boats tonight."
"Why?" Yaoniang was the first to ask.
"This is a cargo ship transporting grain and grass to Yujing, we can just sneak in!"
Pei Liang's eyes flashed with light.
Lu Qingyan pondered for a moment and immediately understood:
"Brother Pei is worried that Liu Jinyan will cause trouble. It will be difficult for our ship to approach Yujing City."
"Yes, after all, my current identity is still a foreign spy who holds the minister's family hostage. This will definitely be made a big fuss by him. In addition, the navy of the imperial court is stationed along the coast of Yujing. The interrogation must be very meticulous. In order to avoid trouble, we just Able to sneak into town.”
After Pei Liang explained this, Yaoniang immediately understood. It seemed that this journey was far more dangerous than she imagined.
"I gave a large sum of money to the steward on the cargo ship and asked him to arrange for us to hide on the ship. There will be many people and eyesight during the day, so we can only move at night."
"What about this ship?" Xiaowan asked hurriedly.
"I will sink it!" Pei Liang said in a deep voice.
"What about...Master Yuan?" Lu Qingyan's voice trembled when she asked this question.
Pei Liang didn't answer, just shook his head.
All three women understood what the man's action meant.
"No, Brother Yuan must be laid to rest!" Xiao Wan said firmly.
Pei Liang was silent for a moment and said: "Even if there is a way, I don't want to do this, but there is no!"
After the man finished speaking, he glanced at Yaoniang, turned around and left.
Yaoniang quickly followed and sighed before leaving: "I think Pei Liang is right!"
Xiao Wan sat dumbly at the table, tears streaming down his face.
Lu Qingyan did not persuade her. At this moment, she felt no less uncomfortable than she did. I believed Xiaowan could figure it out.
"I'm sick of living on a boat with those stinky men!"
As soon as Yaoniang returned to the room with Pei Liang, she couldn't help but complain.
"I'm not a stinky man?" Pei Liang turned around and smiled.
"Young master Pei is handsome, with jade trees in the wind, and your whole body is fragrant. How can those common people compare with you?"
Yaoniang said, stretching out her jade finger and tapping Pei Liang's chest.
Following this charming beauty, Pei Liang found that his concentration was getting better and better.
"Look at what you should take. It's time to leave at midnight."
"I only have a few things, which are easy to pack. It's still early in the morning, so we two..."
Yaoniang suddenly stopped deliberately when she said this.
"Let's each sleep together?" The young man blinked.
Yaoniang couldn't help coughing: "You are using each one well!"
Pei Liang nodded, deeply convinced.
It was noon, and neither Xiao Wan nor Lu Qingyan came down to eat. Pei Liang asked Yaoniang to give them some, and soon Yaoniang came down.
"They all say they have no appetite."
Yaoniang sighed and sat down opposite Pei Liang.
"There's something I've always wanted to ask you." Yaoniang hesitated and finally spoke.
Pei Liang nodded.
"How did you know that Liu Jinyan and I were in that carriage that night?" Yaoniang's voice was low.
"Someone reported to me." Pei Liang replied truthfully.
"who"
"The gambler I saved when we first stayed in the inn, his house happens to be in that alley."
"oh"
"You think I'm following you"
"Um"
"How could I be so boring?"
"I'm afraid that person will be found out by Liu Jinyan and silenced."
"I asked him to escape by boat overnight."
"Well, you always consider others when doing things."
Hearing this, Pei Liang smiled faintly. When his master spotted him at a glance among so many children, didn't he get a glimpse of his innocent heart?
He often said that in practicing martial arts, understanding and endurance are not the most important, but the original intention is the foundation that determines the level of martial arts.
"It's time to talk about Nirvana masters!" Yao Niang put her chin in her hand and smiled in order to prevent Pei Liang from falling silent.
"The eighth name is Pingyuan Wuxin. He comes from the Ping clan, a branch of the Japanese royal family. He became the number one master in Japan at the age of eighteen. After that, he traveled eastward to the Central Plains and challenged the top masters in the Central Plains. He was finally defeated by Cao Yu and was destroyed. He removed his eyes and disappeared from sight ever since.”
"This isn't that great."
"This all happened a hundred years ago. Later, Pingyuan Wuxin took refuge in Motuo Mountain for revenge. He practiced hard for decades and finally stepped into the Nirvana realm and became one of the four masters of the Demon Sect."
"You can be so powerful even if you are blind. This person is really a martial arts wizard."
"He was the one who killed my master."
"ah……"
"This person's popularity is extremely narrow, and he will definitely be punished. After reaching the Nirvana state, all those who have offended him will be killed. Even the Japanese royal family cannot escape the fate of massacre."
"Such a person can achieve Nirvana. It's really God's fault."
"Luck is the most elusive thing in the world."
"Don't be discouraged. One day you will be able to defeat him and avenge your master."
"Lending you good words"
A smile appeared on Pei Liang's lips and he hugged the woman.
As night fell, everyone packed up and went to the deck behind the ship.
Pei Liang carried out Yuan Qianqiu's body.
A rotten smell that was not too strong immediately filled the air. Although it was quickly blown away by the sea breeze, the smell evaporated endlessly. If Yuan Qianqiu was taken to another ship, it would be impossible not to be smelled by others. find.
"Everyone, give me a toast to old Yuan, and say goodbye!"
Pei Liang placed a kettle and a cup on the ground.
Xiao rolled up his sleeves to wipe away the tears that came from his eyes, bent down to pour a full cup, and spread it around Yuan Qianqiu.
"Brother Yuan, my sister will always remember you. I wish you a good journey and protect me and my lady in the underworld. We can turn every bad thing into good luck..." Xiaowan muttered something in his mouth, with a pious expression.
Lu Qingyan was the second to step forward and spill all the water in the cup.
"Master Yuan, you are so kind and virtuous. Lu Qingyan is very grateful. I wanted to carve a monument for you, but now..."
Lu Qingyan suddenly paused and stood for a while before continuing:
"May you reach bliss soon and we may meet again in the next life!"
Pei Liang took the cup from Lu Qingyan's hand and said something to Yuan Qianqiu that moved everyone.
"Brother will not let you sink to the bottom of the sea forever. I will definitely take you home."
Lu Qingyan and Xiao Wan raised their heads at the same time, with deep shock in their eyes.
But looking at the boundless sea water around her, even though Lu Qingyan had no doubts about Pei Liang's ability, she still felt unbelievable because there was no place to mark here.
Pei Liang saw the woman's confusion and said with a smile: "I'm not exaggerating. We are about to enter a trench. The trench is a geomantic treasure with special magnetism. You can locate it just by holding a compass."
"How come you know everything?" Yaoniang looked shocked.
"When traveling around the world, you need to know a little bit about the geography of mountains and rivers, as well as the distribution of gold and acupoints." Pei Liang pursed his lips.
"When the time comes, I will leave tokens on the ship and on Lao Yuan's body. Please ask Miss Lu to send someone to salvage them in time."
"Okay, I'll arrange the manpower as soon as I get back to Yujing."
Lu Qingyan was also afraid that Yuan Qianqiu's body would be eaten up by fish and shrimps, so she quickly agreed.
Pei Liang's words relieved everyone's sadness a lot, and Xiao Wan and Lu Qingyan also calmed down.
When the Xu hour arrived, Pei Liang tightened the sail, and the ship that had been following the cargo ship slowly began to accelerate.
