Yaohua

The sound immediately gave away his presence.

The man looked towards this side, and was immediately pleasantly surprised, and said in amazement:

——"It's you, little boy!"

Xia Jingyuan was stunned

"Me! It's me!!" The man gestured with both hands

Xia Jingyuan didn't know how to react, she suddenly spotted the wooden hairpin on his head, and blurted out:

"Qiu Fengyue!"

"Your grandpa's, remember?" Someone swears

"..."

Xia Jingyuan silently walked to the small peach blossom tree, picked up the peach blossoms, felt that it was strange that Qiu Fengyue appeared here, and then looked at him carefully, and saw him a few days ago. The appearance was very different, and when he saw him, he leaned over to look at the peach blossoms , Qidao:

"Do you like peach blossoms?"

"Hmm," Qiufeng blushed in a rare way, "Don't you think peach blossoms are beautiful?"

"..."

Qiufeng Yue had seen enough peach blossoms, and finally had time to talk to the people who were left alone, and asked, "Jiu Yuan, why are you here?"

Xia Jingyuan glanced at his coarse cloth bunt, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Naturally... something happened"

"I have something to do too"

The two agreed tacitly without further questioning.

Xia Jingyuan looked for clues everywhere on her own, and Qiu Fengyue sat cross-legged, pulled out a grass, and put it in her mouth, her eyes were fixed on Xia Jingyuan's slender waist, licking her lips lustfully, with a look on her face. Obsession: "You are so pretty, even better than those rabbit masters."

Xia Jingyuan is scratching the wall

"Why aren't you a girl in a kiln? I can prostitute you." Qiufeng chewed the root of grass, held her chin, and an unknown liquid flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Tsk tsk, no wonder the emperor chooses such a show twice in three days."

Xia Jingyuan was busy identifying the writing on the ruins

"Hey, actually you're not bad looking, you just don't know what it's like—"

—— "Boom!" The stone as big as a fist rushed straight to the door, and Qiu Fengyue hit his head on the ground, splashing blood on the spot.

"Grandma's!"

Qiufeng got up and slapped her again.

Xia Jingyuan's movements of slapping her mouth were extremely elegant and quick, positive and negative, the four slapping mouths are comparable to the nuns in the palace.Then stretched out fingers like the finest mutton jade, wrapped around Qiu Fengyue's chin, and opened her red lips lightly:

"Brother, can you keep your mouth shut?"

Qiu Fengyue was stunned by the four slaps in front and back, and when she finally woke up, she saw an intoxicating spring breeze, an indescribable youthful face, and then he was fascinated by it?

--wrong!

Qiu Xiongtai is full of heroism, mighty and unyielding: "Shut your mother's shit mouth, it's like a dead woman who is singled out!"

"hehe"

Prince Xia Jiu smiled lightly, his clothes fluttered like a nine-day fairy, his fingers moved slightly, and a few ice needles instantly condensed between his fingers. Jing Yuan flew up, tapped Qiufeng's waist, suddenly twisted her body, lifted her knee and hit her abdomen.

Qiu Fengyue felt that his waist and side were like a heavy weight, the pain was unspeakable, and his abdomen was hit hard again, and he was dizzy and his ears rang, and a salty bloody smell gushed out of his throat and filled his mouth.I saw Qiu Fengyue's whole body flying out like a bird with broken wings, and hit a dead tree not far away. The tree crown and Qiu Fengyue fell to the ground together, Qiu Fengyue leaned slightly, and coughed up a big mouthful of blood...

Xia Jingyuan suddenly said "Huh?", stepped forward quickly, leaned over and squatted under the dead tree, and found a raised stone at the half-dug root.He couldn't help turning his face, teasingly said:

"Unexpectedly, you are also useful"

Qiufeng snorted coldly, half propped up, his whole arm was trembling, seeing him sitting up with great difficulty, but ended up with a crooked elbow, and fell back again.After repeated attempts like this, he failed several times. In the end, he could only collapse on the ground weakly, with another stream of blood spilling out of the corner of his mouth.

Qiufeng saw that face again in a daze... There seemed to be a little bit of panic on the face, and then a warm current slowly flowed into the limbs and bones, and then he fell into the boundless darkness.

The fourth time the man in the painting

Qiu Fengyue and Xia Jingyuan first met in Shangpin Palace, because the purse was stolen by a thief, and they didn't realize it until they paid the bill, so that they were considered to be eating the king's meal.Qiu Feng said he would wash dishes for them kindly, but he was punched and kicked. It was easy to deal with a few thugs with his skills, but he was repaired by a swordsman a few days ago, and the external and internal injuries became very bad.There are so many rich and noble people coming in and out of the restaurant, but no one is willing to pay for his meal, or even watch with a cold eye. Only Jiu Yuan noticed that he was still kind enough to pay the bill and treat guests. Qiu Fengyue promised him that he would have more in the future Reward; meeting again this time, Qiufeng was more pleasantly surprised, and the result?

I was kicked dizzy, that's right, it was a kick! !

Qiufeng became more and more furious, spit out another mouthful of blood, and woke up immediately.It's fine when he wakes up, the first sentence is:

"Damn it, where's the little bastard?"

Xia Jingyuan just turned around from the side of the stone room when she heard the words and her face twisted.

Qiu Fengyue patted her chest and abdomen contentedly. It was fine, but it hurt a little. Then she looked around and cursed softly, "What the hell!"

"Are you awake?" Xia Jingyuan came over, holding a scroll in her hand, ignoring the man's probing gaze, and ordered: "Go quickly! The owner is supposed to be here."

Qiu Fengyue got up and walked around the stone room, but found nothing, then sat by the stone table and looked suspiciously at the picture scroll in his hand.he asks:

"The painting was found in the stone chamber?"

"Qiu Fengyue, you should go!" Thinking of his relationship with Su Yin, his tone was impatient.

Qiu Fengyue ignored his reminder, hooked his fingers at him, and said, "Show me the painting in your hand."

"..."

Xia Jingyuan walked to the door of the stone room, pressed something next to the door, the stone door was completely moved away, and light came in from outside, he asked back: "Do you want to go out by yourself, or should I kick you out?"

Qiu Fengyue didn't choke herself to death, pointing at him "you, you, you..." non-stop, her face turned blue and white, and finally turned green.Qiu Fengyue slapped the stone table, bristling with anger, and left angrily...

After about half a stick of incense, Xiao Mubai walked into the stone room.Xia Jingyuan sat beside the stone table, thinking about what kind of person that scholar was?Qiu Fengyue has a close relationship with Su Yin, so who is he?Behind the interlocking people and events, there seems to be a huge net intertwined.Seeing Xiao Mubai coming in, he said:

"Follow the Mission"

"Did you find any clues?" Xiao Mubai originally used Xiaoxueju to gain the trust of the court, but Xiao Mubai never thought that he would actually find a stone room.But looking carefully around the stone room, except for the stone table, stone table, stone bed and other objects, there is nothing else, Xiao Mubai couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Seeing him like this, Xia Jingyuan smiled instead of anger, and said, "As the saying goes: Don't use doubtful people, but don't doubt employing people. Does the owner regret it?"

"How dare you!" Xiao Mubai still looked like a master on the surface, but his eyes revealed surprise, "The prince is extremely wise, I just deeply feel that my Xiao family's decades of hard work can't match the prince's momentary majesty."

"The landlord is too modest"

Xia Jingyuan turned down Xiao Zhuangzhu's kindness with an excuse, and insisted on returning to Zuichen Xiaoxie to enjoy the beauty's favor.Leaving Wuling Mountain Villa, Xia Jingyuan and the golden cicada escaped from her shell, and only leaned over to pull out the scroll from her boots in the secret room of the drunken dust pavilion.

As the picture scroll unfolded, a person was half lying on his side, lying on the window casement, with a pink thin shirt and emerald green ribbon tied around his waist casually, and his whole body was coquettish, coquettish but not kitschy... There were faint red marks on the half-exposed shoulders ;The few branches of peach blossom outside the window are full of powder, and some petals are hidden in the hair of the man like ink.There are two words beside the picture scroll: Xiaoqing

A hundred years later, the scroll is dilapidated and the characters are slightly blurred. However, the artistic conception is tranquil and peaceful, and Xia Jingyuan can still feel the harmony and love in it.

That night, Xia Jingyuan fell asleep with the scroll in her arms. In her dream, the man was holding a peach blossom, and the sadness in his eyes turned into tears of blood, which rolled down on the peach blossom...

Who is that man's face?

The dream was chaotic, Xia Jingyuan eagerly wanted to see the man's face clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, the man's face still seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, like a faded scroll.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Jingyuan woke up with a splitting headache. After a simple wash, she heard the noise outside, as if someone had gone mad with alcohol. Moreover, hearing this laughter... well, it was very familiar.

Early in the morning, the backyard can be described as a mess.Last night, a guest came to eat Bawang's meal, and finally got drunk. The manager had no choice but to throw the guest into the backyard to sober up, but he suddenly started drinking crazy.

The steward was sweating profusely, for fear of disturbing His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, he ordered:

"Hit out with sticks—!"

At this time, a young servant ran over in a panic and shouted:

"You can't beat me! You can't beat me!!—Master Ninth has an order to clean up this guest and send him to your master's room!!"

In an instant, five thunders struck the top, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains.

The servants were quick with their hands and feet, and within a moment, the guests were washed and sent to the room of "Ninth Young Master".

"Jiuyuan, am I really drunk, why did I see you here?" Qiu Fengyue, the guest, was dizzy, and suddenly realized, knocked on the head, and shouted: "You are the rabbit master here! That’s great, come here and serve me!!”

I'm going to pounce on the wolf

Xia Jingyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and Qiu Fengyue completely softened when the blow hit the back of her neck.

"A bastard who doesn't know how to live or die!"

Xia Jingyuan was still puzzled, so she mended her feet a few more times. Hearing him humming in pain in a coma, she couldn't help but wonder: How could it hurt after a few strokes that are obviously useless?

Xia Jingyuan hurriedly helped him up, unbuttoned a layer of thin shirt, and couldn't help taking a breath, seeing the bruises on his body, big and small, it was clear that he had been abused, and...he hadn't been treated for wounds.

The long-lost sullenness made his pale as paper face a little more flushed, but meeting by chance, even if he wanted to intervene, he might not be able to do so.After thousands of calculations, only Xia Jingyuan sighed in the end.

Xia Jingyuan helped him lie on the soft couch, rubbed the medicine carefully, and then sat on the side of the couch to accompany him. The unexplainable strange feeling made him very uncomfortable.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered the appearance of the person in the picture scroll. Xia Jingyuan took out the picture scroll, opened it slowly, and compared it to Qiu Fengyue's face. After struggling several times, she finally shook her head dejectedly.

I don't know how long it took before a servant knocked on the door. Xia Jingyuan hurriedly put away the inexplicable disappointment in her heart, took a set of red clothes and put it beside Qiu Fengyue, opened the door, and saw several servants holding The food box is waiting at the door, and the cold voice is as cold as spring water in winter:

"Put it in the 'Zinfang Pavilion', and take the pot of wine."

The boy obediently backed down

Xia Jingyuan didn't have much appetite, because she didn't sleep well, she was very sleepy, and fell asleep after a few mouthfuls of food.

Nothing happened today, Xia Jingyuan went to sleep peacefully, and in a trance, she heard that person's voice again, seeming to be flirting with a smile, each sound was infinitely tender and charming: "Smile~~my smile~", faded His picture scroll gradually became clear, his eyebrows and eyes were indeed smiling, and after careful identification, he was somewhat similar to Xiao Mubai, the Patriarch of the Xiao family.

……

Xia Jingyuan was awakened by murderous intent

Finally had a dream, but was disturbed, Xia Jingyuan's expression was obviously displeased, the servant came to tell the time, only then did he realize that he had slept for several hours, no wonder his stomach was empty.

The Zuichen Xiaoxie had already started business, and there was a lot of voices, Xia Jingyuan chose an attic to have a panoramic view of everything.Suddenly, his expression froze, and the sound of drinking orders in the corner came one after another. With a thought in his mind, he couldn't help lying down on the attic, through the bead curtain, and said loudly:

"Qiu Fengyue, did you bring your drink money this time?"

Qiu Fengyue's head protruded from the corner, grinning: "There is no money. Are you going to beat me out?"

"what do you say"

Qiu Fengyue's expression changed, maybe because he was drunk, he jumped up from the railing, as fast as lightning, the figure hidden in the dark seemed to be approaching a formidable enemy, and he was about to strike in the next moment, but after seeing Xia Jingyuan's gesture After disappearing again, Qiu Fengyue landed lightly like a flying feather in front of the attic, begging for mercy through the bead curtain.

"Seeing that you are so rich, why is it difficult to pay me for a drink?"

Xia Jingyuan was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect this person to be so rude. In the dream, the foolish "smile" was still in her ears. Through the bead curtain, those bright eyes became more and more fascinating. The next moment, Xia Jing Yuan covered her face with a fan, concealing her abnormal expression, approached, and whispered softly: "You call me 'Xiaoqing', and I will help you pay for the drink."

That pair of pupils suddenly revealed a look of surprise, just like its owner.

"It's simple!" His long and narrow eyes were bent into two crescent moons, Qiu Feng got closer, breathing like blue, and the clear fragrance of wine rushed to his face, it was the "lock fragrance" of Zuichen Xiaoxie, his breath was blowing Pass the bead curtain, stop by the ear, pause every word, with a silly smile:

"Xiaoqing...my Xiaoqing, thank you."

Qiu Fengyue was really drunk, her footsteps were unsteady, she staggered, and almost fell off the attic.He screamed downstairs, and saw his feet hooked on the railing, borrowing his strength, and landed like a flying swallow.

Suddenly there was no movement in the attic, Qiufeng smiled and groaned, took a pot of wine and poured it down, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and the clear wine flowed down the throat, soaking the skirt of the clothes without knowing it.

——Suddenly a sudden gust of wind passed through Drunken Dream Xiaoxie, and wherever it went, sword qi crisscrossed, hitting Qiu Fengyue's throat directly.

Such a murderous spirit is not good for those who come.

Qiu Fengyue was in the midst of drinking, when suddenly she felt a chill down her spine, she couldn't help shivering, and was pulled by someone in a trance, and then there was a loud noise in her ears,

Xia Jingyuan squinted her noble phoenix eyes, let go of Qiu Fengyue's arm, and looked at the young man who suddenly barged in. Her expression was still cold and cold, but her pupils shrank and became narrow and long, with a vaguely strange color, as if she had been irritated. Beast pupils.

Qiu Feng was loosened by his arm, and immediately fell to the ground drunk. After a while, he got up, pointed at the young man, and asked drunkenly, "Who are you?"

The young man raised the sword in his hand and pointed at Qiu Fengyue, his voice was cold and harsh, and his words were sonorous: "I don't have time to play with you. Qiu Fengyue, come back with me!"

Qiu Fengyue immediately hid behind Xia Jingyuan, and said with a smile, "What if I don't?"

The young man put away his sword and said coldly, "You are drunk".

Qiu Fengyue shook her head, "No, I'm sober. Look, I still remember your name... Uh, Mei Shuying, right? Hehe, I can drink so well, how could I be drunk!"

"If you are sober, how dare you speak to me in such a tone!"

The young man put away his sword, picked up the pieces of wood at his feet and threw them at Qiu Fengyue. Qiu Fengyue hid behind Xia Jingyuan, and the pieces rushed towards Xia Jingyuan without any surprise.

Qiu Fengyue seemed to be apprehensive, not daring to go head-on, and was about to push Xia Jingyuan away, but she couldn't.It was too late and then too soon, Qiu Fengyue stepped in front of Xia Jingyuan with a stride, and took all the fragments.

The young man's cold and resolute expression was suddenly shaken, and he moved his feet, but he restrained himself abruptly, and there was a little trembling in his tone:

"It seems that you are indeed sober. Can you go back with me now?"

Qiu Fengyue clutched the wound on his side waist, the blood flowed out from between his fingers, the blood color was not obvious under the cover of the red clothes, his figure swayed a few times, and smiled wryly like self-deprecating: "Can you not be sober! I've been drunk here for the rest of my life!"

The young man snorted coldly, noncommittal.

"But... why did you hurt the innocent..."

Qiu Fengyue turned around, his forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, he still raised the corners of his mouth, looking like a foolish ruffian, but winked and winked pretending to complain: "Fortunately, you are fine. He is too fierce, you should hide from now on." a bit".

Xia Jingyuan looked at him with pity, and asked, "A mere unknown swordsman, do you think he can hurt me?"

Qiu Fengyue immediately remembered being kicked and fainted by him before, and her face immediately became very bad.

Qiu Fengyue was actually very wronged in his heart, this man looked weak, how could he pass out when he kicked him down?Could it be that I have been lazy in the past few days and my skills are unfamiliar?

Not so much!

Qiu Fengyue was still very torn, and was not in a good mood, what's wrong with drinking to relieve his worries?Getting drunk and being caught by a swordsman is really bad luck!

Qiufeng scratched her head more and more irritably, caught a glimpse of the young man's back, and hurriedly chased after him. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and shouted at Xia Jingyuan, "Thank you for your hospitality during the day!" and hurried up.

Xia Jingyuan suddenly remembered the bruises on his body, and thought: He is willing to fight and suffer, so why should I bother.

The voice "Xiaoqing...my Xiaoqing, thank you!" in my ear, but I couldn't let it go no matter what.

A dilapidated farmyard near the gate of Fengyue City.From a distance, I saw a few rough men running around the door without a head. Seeing Qiu Fengyue coming back, he immediately wiped away his tears, and almost cried bitterly with his arms around his thighs.

"Second Master is taking the brothers to test the medicine, and they have passed out several times!"

Qiu Fengyue ran in quickly, seeing the half-dead brothers frothing at the mouth and twitching, with a "thump" in his heart, and exclaimed:

"The scholar won't give them his newly developed medicine!"

An elegant and elegant scholar walked out, with handsome eyes and a sweet smile:

"Where did you go to be lazy today?"

"Uh……"

"The swordsman has been looking for you for a day and a night. Everyone doesn't say anything, but they are worried. I was thinking that if you accidentally confessed here, where can I find a 'Qiu Dazhuan' to pay the old man!"

The more Qiufeng peeked, seeing Mei Shuying's face behind him became more and more gloomy. It was true that "there is a smiling tiger in front, and a wolf in the back", Qiufeng suddenly wanted to die.

"You, come in"

"Oh"

At the same time, a burly man entered an inconspicuous inn, knocked on the door, "five heavy and four light", someone greeted him, saw the person coming, and immediately looked around cautiously.

"Go! I'm watching, but no one is following!"

"Yes, come in, boss."

The fifth round is surging

The ship to go to sea is ready

Just as Xiao Mubai said: Fishermen have the best sailing experience. They fish at sea all year round, betting their lives on the sea, and most navigators come from fishermen; There is no problem in building a ship that can go to sea with materials.

To deal with pirates, one must choose a young and strong Lianjiazi. The Xiao family has always been friendly with several sects in Jianghu, and it is extremely easy to borrow some disciples.

It is said that some pirates only rob treasures, food and clothing, and do not hurt human life.Even if you give them enough of what they need, they'll let you go.Of course this is just a rumor.

the eve of going to sea

Xia Jingyuan was walking along the seashore, the sun was setting over the long river in the distance, and her figure was like an afterimage under the vast afterglow.There is a fishing village on the high slope in the distance.Although the fishing village is a village, there are hundreds of families.There is traffic in the village, chickens and dogs are heard, there are old people playing chess and children playing.The folk customs of the villagers are simple, and when they see strangers, they warmly invite them.

Xia Jingyuan was not polite and stayed for dinner.An old man asked him to play a game of chess, and he complied.

So calm, but I don't know why the waves are turbulent, especially when facing the sea.

...as if hearing the voice of the sea: You are back!

In the sky full of smoke and cloudless sky, the floating light jumps into the extremely turbulent and magnificent sea. Xia Jingyuan sat by the seaside, her eyes were fascinated.

Not far away, there is a little boy playing on the waves, singing a song:

...the fairy lives at the bottom of the Canglang Cliff

Fairy Xiao Xiao led you here

blood like jade moon full boat

Dragon boat floats gold and silver snow

Singing over Crystal Bay

dragon boat stranded

peach blossoms

Immortals welcome guests with a smile...

The child's voice was crisp and clear, Xia Jingyuan stopped to listen, and then waved to them.

"Big brother, did you call us?" The children looked at each other and ran over together.

Xia Jingyuan squatted down to look at them, and asked softly:

"What are you singing about?"

"Ge'er!" The child who seemed to be the head of the child was triumphant, "Grandpa taught me."

"Grandpa taught it!" The other children also echoed.

Xia Jingyuan couldn't help reaching out to touch the child's head, and said with a smile, "It's so nice."

Xia Jingyuan watched the children run away clamoring and clamoring, then looked towards the sea, and suddenly, he sang in a low voice:

"The immortal lives at the bottom of Canglang Cliff,

The immortal Xiao Xiao led you here.

blood like jade,

full moon boat,

The dragon boat floats gold and silver snow,

The sound of singing spread over Crystal Bay.

The dragon boat ran aground,

peach blossoms,

The fairy greets the guests with a smile..."

His voice was originally cold and soft, but when he chanted in a low voice, there was an illusion as if he had passed away.

On the day of going out to sea, the sea was calm and the sky was cloudless.

Going out to sea on a large scale has attracted many people to watch. The men on the sea are the most tenacious and brave. Fengyue is a town near the sea. He is in awe of the sea and respects the men on the sea.

Everyone is ready to go, and the momentum is like a rainbow.With Xiao Mubai's voice:

——"Go to sea!!"

The sonorous and powerful voice runs through the "Jiaolong".

The "Jiaolong" sailed slowly into the sea.

Xia Jingyuan stood at the bow of the boat, her long hair was tied up high and blown out in the wind, wrapped in a sable fur cloak, she felt more and more isolated from the world.Zun and Luying are accompanying them. When they look at the sea, their minds suddenly open up, but they also feel more and more alone in the sea.

At this time Xiao Mubai walked out of the cabin, with long hair standing on end, dressed in Su embroidered brocade clothes, with jade rings around his waist, showing his tall and straight figure.This attire is rather luxurious, but it doesn't look like going out to sea, but it looks like a rich boy and a beautiful woman going boating on a lake.

"Going out is different from being at home. You can come here as you please." Luying probed her head and frowned, "Master Xiao is quite reserved."

Xiao Mubai didn't seem to hear the meaning of these words, and said calmly:

"My mother was born in a family of officials and officials, so she was naturally strict with my attire, speech and behavior."

Luying thought for a while, and said seriously: "It really looks like a son of a son, not like a shrewd businessman."

The sea breeze was getting a bit chilly, Xia Jingyuan wrapped her body in sable fur, looked up at the sky, and said, "The sky has changed, let's go in."

This time, Luying's almond eyes widened and she shouted:

"No way, Master knows all this?!"

Xiao Mubai was also quite surprised, seeing that the sky was so clear and there was no cloud, he wondered: "It shouldn't be so. How did the prince know?"

Xia Jingyuan looked back and smiled, she was quite charming, and replied: "Intuition".

Within half an hour, dark clouds rolled over the sea, and purple lightning pierced through the thick clouds, almost cutting the sea surface.Xia Jingyuan was sitting by the coffee table, while drinking tea, she looked at the rough waves outside the window with a smile.

"Master Xiao never went to sea?"

Xiao Mubai smiled wryly, "I'm ashamed to say, I'm the head of the Xiao family, so I don't need to worry about going to sea."

"To be a king, one should be: strategizing within the tentacles, winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Xiao Zhuangzhu need not be ashamed," Xia Jingyuan said casually.

"Then..." Xiao Mubai suddenly elongated his voice, and asked in a low voice: "Is the Ninth Prince the king?"

Xia Jingyuan shook her head, "Of course not."

It was as dark as night outside the window, with dark clouds connecting with the sea surface, and there was a tendency of mountain rain and wind filling the building.The gust of wind suddenly blows through the window, and the cold hits the face. Xia Jingyuan's long hair is disheveled, and the corners of her lips suddenly evoked a sneer that looks at the world—this smile is fleeting, so fast that people mistake it for an illusion.He stared out the window and said:

"A big storm is coming"

Moon Bay

Inside the red gauze tent, there are graceful figures, and their tender cries seem to be weeping but not sobbing.Inside the hibiscus tent, the hands were like catkins, the skin was like creamy fat, a strong and huge man was holding the woman's thighs and sprinting.At this time, someone came to report:

"Master, they went to sea"

The big guy——Lei Tianba sprinted faster, hastily resolved his desire, walked out of the gauze tent, picked up a piece of clothing and put it on his muscular body, and ordered:

"Notify brothers, get ready!"

After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Don't forget to let me know over there."

Bandit Island

Scholar Su Yin searched for Qiufeng all over the place, and met Mei Shuying on the way.Mei Shuying had just finished practicing the sword, she was refreshed, she seemed to be in a good mood, she didn't go mad and slashed people, she just snorted coldly: "There's something wrong with him that he won't show up for the rest of his life."

"...he has injuries"

"That's what he deserves!"

Su Yin slipped away silently and continued looking for someone.

After searching for a long time, Su Yin sat slumped on the ground, looking at the sea in the infinite distance, the wind was surging, and suddenly there was a thunderous explosion above his head, and he couldn't help feeling restless:

"Where are you going?"

At this time, a tall and tall man came slowly.She was dressed in a dazzling red dress, with long sleeves tightly tied, and her ink-like long hair was casually tied up with a red ribbon; there were two slender knives hanging on her side, and the blades were tied with red silk ribbons.

Seeing the person coming, Su Yin breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where have you been?"

The man just said: "Practice".

Bright purple lightning flashed across and brightened up, reflecting a peerless and alluring face.

The cinnabar mole at the corner of the eye is like the unshed tears in the previous life...

The Sixth Battle of Moon Bay

Heavy rain poured down, the sea flickered, and thunder continued.

"Jiaolong"

In the room, Luying piled cakes to play boredly, and glanced sideways at the other two: she closed her eyes and rested her mind, but she was vigilant of her surroundings and did not dare to relax, and could not play with him; the master was lying on the soft couch reading a book, not daring to disturb her.

After half a day like this, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the sea suddenly became clear.Luying was the second to rush out to feel the brilliance of the sun, and Xiao Mubai was the first, I saw him staring into the distance without moving his body.

"What is Master Xiao looking at?"

Xiao Mubai was shaken by her innocent smile, and the tips of his ears turned red quietly.

——"Moon Bay is right in front of you?" A cold voice suddenly rang out

Xia Jingyuan followed behind Luying, closed the paper fan, and pointed to a barely visible black spot in the distance.

"Yes", Xiao Mubai nodded, then pointed further away, "That's Bandit Island".

Luying followed the direction pointed by the two of them, let alone Bandit Island, she couldn't even see Moon Bay.

"You can sail into Moon Bay tonight, which is the jurisdiction of the pirate 'Shark'."

Xia Jingyuan pondered: "It seems that tonight will not pass smoothly."

Xiao Mubai stepped up his guard, increased manpower to watch the sentries, and ordered people to keep patrolling the boat, to guard against anyone fishing in troubled waters.

Everyone was waiting in line, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Moon Bay, from only vague black dots to gradually showing the shape of Moon Bay.An unspeakable sense of oppression shrouded the "Jiaolong" and weighed on everyone's heads, which was suffocating and frightening.There was also an experienced sailor whose expression remained unchanged, his sharp eyes were alert to his surroundings, and someone yelled:

"Our men on the sea are all warriors, those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, go back to the cabin——!"

The decadence was swept away, replaced by awe-inspiring morale.

"Jiaolong" sails into Moon Bay

Moon Bay is named after its shape, and the coast is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.There are strange pines and cypresses hanging on the cliff, and strange rocks and gloomy vegetation at the bottom of the cliff; The "Jiaolong" is almost full of grass and trees. The strange pines and cypresses, strange rocks, and vegetation are like shadows, and the rustling sea breeze seems to be whispered.Xiao Mubai, who was guarded behind the sailor, also had a dignified expression, not daring to slack off a bit; on the other hand, Xia Jingyuan, waving the paper fan lightly, enjoyed the wonders of Moon Bay and was at ease, surrounded by bottles and Luying guarding her left and right.

Because of the retrograde current and the need to avoid the vortex, the "Jiaolong" was traveling extremely slowly.

However--

...a little closer...

...and a little bit of driving around Moon Bay...

...a little bit further away...

From the beginning to the end, Moon Bay is eerie and terrifying, with apes singing and mourning, and the vegetation rustling.

... gradually moved away, and when everyone realized that the "Jiaolong" was indeed gradually moving away from Moon Bay, they realized that the clothes soaked in cold sweat were sticking to their bodies and it was chilly.But that's not important anymore, it's the happiest thing that I don't have to swing my knives with vicious pirates!

——Thanks to the great Sea God!

Xiao Mubai looked thoughtfully at the Moon Bay that was getting further away, and the uneasiness in his heart not only did not disappear, but even worsened.

why?

Pirates have no reason to let go of their prey...

At this time Xia Jingyuan came over, cupped her hands and said, "Are we escaped a catastrophe?"

"I don't know..." Xiao Mubai seemed to be at a loss, muttering to himself: "Don't ask me, I also... don't know..."

On the deck, the sailors were all cheering and shouting - "Thanks to the great sea god!"

Xia Jingyuan knocked on the folding fan in her hand, she suddenly got tired, left Xiao Mubai behind and went back to the room, followed by Zun and Luying who were equally puzzled.

"What do you think of this matter?" Xia Jingyuan suddenly turned around and asked

Zun and Luying looked at each other and said in unison: "It's weird!"

"...Moon Bay is too peaceful, it makes me feel very uncomfortable." Luying twisted her willow eyebrows

Zun hesitated a little, thought for a while, and then said: "Trouble is still to come."

"Crack!" Knocking the paper fan on her shoulder, Xia Jingyuan said with a smile, "I'll go and see Master Xiao, and you two will also watch the whistle!" Then she flung the paper fan away and walked away gracefully. .

Leaving the two of them staring at each other

With the title of "Imperial Envoy", Xia Jingyuan went all the way unimpeded and knocked on Xiao Mubai's door.

Xiao Mubai broke out in cold sweat just now, was taking a bath, when he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was a maid, so he said: "Come in!"

So Xia Jingyuan pushed open the door, passed the beaded curtain in the compartment, and saw Master Xiao soaked in a wooden barrel, surrounded by smoke, his handsome face was as red as rouge, and his loose long hair was wet. Half resting on Zhiyu's flawless back.

"Put the clothes on the table, you go out!"

Xiao Mubai gave orders, then continued to soak in the bucket, distracted.

The matter of Moon Bay is too strange, he needs to carefully plan how to go next... A gust of heat hit the back of his neck, Xiao Mubai didn't even have time to react, he had already been tapped on several large acupuncture points on his body, and a chuckle came from behind , Xiao Mubai's pupils constricted, and he pretended to be calm and said:

"Prince, what does this mean?"

Xia Jingyuan smiled like the spring sun in March, and with that smooth and delicate skin, afraid that he might not be able to hear clearly, she leaned closer and whispered in a whisper: "I wanted to talk to the owner about the staffing of the 'Jiaolong', but I don't want to see such a beautiful scenery, I can't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed." The fingers touched the beautiful neck, and slowly moved down until they touched the two blushing spots on his chest.

Xiao Mubai's face was full of shame and indignation, and he roared:

"—Ninth Prince!—Please respect yourself!"

Xia Jingyuan really stopped, and said: "Jing Yuan offended, so I offer a plan as an apology." After finishing speaking, he untied his acupoints and smiled sincerely and innocently.

Xiao Mubai smiled wryly, "The next grassroots, how dare the prince make an apology."

"The landlord's words are out of the ordinary."

Xia Jingyuan's expression was gentle, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her deep eyes were like the surface of the sea under the night sky.

Zun and Luying inspected separately and found nothing unusual.The two met on the deck, and Lu Ying glanced at his cold face wrinkled tightly, feeling strange.

People who practice martial arts are very alert, and so is Zun.From the moment he approached Moon Bay, he could feel the murderous aura that was close at hand, but in fact nothing happened, and now the murderous aura was even worse. He looked around and was still calm, unable to explain clearly, and the depression suppressed in his chest made him Very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Zun drew his sword out, pointing at Luying.

Luying's pretty face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly asked:

"what happened?"

"Moon Bay, we are back!"

Luying turned her head abruptly, stared at it for a moment, and sure enough, she saw the shadow of Moon Bay gradually getting bigger.

"How is it possible, obviously..."

"I'm going to find the master, you go and inform Mr. Xiao and the others! -- Hurry up!"

The "Jiaolong" returned quickly, and when Xia Jingyuan and Xiao Mubai stood on the deck, the huge black shadow of Moon Bay had already enveloped the entire "Jiaolong".

The sky was gray, with occasional stars hanging low, and it was impossible to discern the direction at all.Xia Jingyuan glanced at the sail, and suddenly said: "It's the wind!"

Next to him, the navigator gestured with a compass, his expression almost distorted.

"Because of the barrier of Moon Bay, the sea current and wind direction in this area are very abnormal. Not long ago, the wind direction changed, because the change was so small that it was hard to detect; the compass suddenly failed again, and I couldn't tell the direction... Otherwise, how could I not notice it? .”

Xiao Mubai pursed his lips tightly, and after a long time, he said: "It should be that the compass is broken. Let me tell you: If you don't want to die, take a knife and prepare for the battle!!"

The navigator didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly withdrew.

Xia Jingyuan guessed that there were spies, perhaps there were spies on board from the very beginning.It's just that there are priorities, and I escaped from Moon Bay first before looking for other things.

The "Jiaolong" sailed back to Moon Bay. Not long after, countless shadows appeared above the "Jiaolong". Before everyone could react, they were caught off guard by the flying stones.
