Book 25 - Chapter 1 – Intiht (2/2)
Staring blankly, Xu Ziling shook his head and said, “I don’t know; I don’t even want to know Miss, please keep in mind that I will only stay in Sichuan for seven days About luring the ‘Heavenly Lord’ Xi Ying to kill him, shouldn’t we start the preparation as early as possible?”
Kou Zhong ca his raised hand pointing out ahead, he already saw the shadow of a sail under the light of the dawn; knitting his brows, he asked, “Whose shi+p is that?”
After sailing at top speed for one day and one night, one side of them was the desert mountain of the south, while on the other side was the boundless ocean The ocean stretched out to east as far as the dark hue of color where the ocean meets the sky
Bu Tianzhi shook his head and said, “One or two sichen since we left Chang Jiang and entered the sea, that boat has been on our tail At that time there was a lot of traffic, so our brothers did not pay attention But now of course it is an irkso said, “Could it be that it is because we are adopting the saht so too; thereupon I instructed the captain to steer away froht that the other side not only also changed their course to follow, they even used so of direction to capture the wind and speed up; thereupon they areturned his eyes toward the land on their left; in the earlyhis head, he said, “It appears that the boat is going straight toward us Does Zhi Shu have any way to throw them off?”
Bu Tianzhi replied with heavy voice, “If this shi+p is Jukun Flagshi+p, I have a way to make the opposite side could only eat the wind But currently our boat is just a ned to especially sail on the river Coreat disadvantage; in teration, we are a few notches under theation on board in charge of their shi+p With the current speed, they are going to catch up with us within five sichen”
Racking his brains, Kou Zhong thought aloud, “Who ainst one boat, why are they so confident?”
It should be noted that Kou Zhong has become a world faht, they would not have dared to co’s current strength, even if the other person has not seen hiuess This is what is called ‘He who co will come’ The one dared to come h strength to deal with Kou Zhong
Bu Tianzhi said, “As I see it, that huge warshi+pOnly his side would know that we have shi+ps around the Chang Jiang, and only those who guard tightly the estuary of the Chang Jiang would have the greatest opportunity to intercept us”
Shaken, Kou Zhong said, “Zhi Shu is absolutely correct They originally wanted to ambush us on our way out to the sea At that time there may be o up north to return to the East [China] Sea, but sailed to the south instead, which disturbed their plan greatly Their well-laid plan ended up useless, only this huge shi+p with an expert in charge, albeit with difficulty, is able to follow and catch up with us Oh! The shi+p’s style is a bit weird; it does not look like the shi+ps we are accustomed to see in the Central Earth, it is also different fro [Southeast Asia/southern seas] shi+ps that zhou Could it be Khitan’s Ku Ge, that ‘’ shi+p?”
Amazed, Bu Tianzhi asked, “It’s still very far, unexpectedly Shao Shuai is able to see clearly?”
Kou Zhong was focusing his power on his eyes; nodding, he said, “I have no proble The only problem I have is how to describe it to you”
“Can you start by describing the shape of the shi+p?” Bu Tianzhi suggested
Kou Zhongback and forth on the shi+p, he would not have to waste too ; too bad the people on the shi+p that he saere onlyabout a little bit Without any better option, he tried his best to explain, “This guy’s bottom is pointy and its top wide, its bow raised up and its tail towering It has three-story deck, there are only three sail h as ourwryly, Bu Tianzhi said, “Every other shi+p’s structure is more or less like Shao Shuai’s description just now; to brave the waves and ride a boat, they must be so Ay! Is there any other distinctive feature?”
Kou Zhong suddenly shook; he said, “I can see their flag! The character on the top is definitely not a Han character; it looks a bit like the amulet that the Taoist priests write Out of three characters, two have circles inside the, Bu Tianzhi said, “How could Khitan people have such a giant seagoing shi+p? Oh, I know!”
Kou Zhong looked at him “Whose boat is it?” he asked
Bu Tianzhi’s expression beca, and said heavily, “If I a warshi+p”
“What?” Kou Zhong cried out involuntarily
In the afternoon, Xu Ziling hurriedly left the city, and urgently traveled to the east for more than thirty li, to see shi+ Feixuan on a small hill
shi+ Feixuan happily said, “Let Feixuan represents all the Dashi+ [big stone] Teratitude on Xu Xiong’s willingness to undertake the task of upholding justice first”
“Did Miss shi+ plan this in advance?” Xu Ziling asked
shi+ Feixuan h plan, which still include a bit of risk; therefore, Ifirst”
“Miss, please explain,” Xu Ziling respectfully replied
Astounded, shi+ Feixuan said, “Why is it that only after one day, Xu Xiong’s attitude and expression toward Feixuan are like ‘going out many times and repeatedly distant (or aloof)’ [not sure, perhaps a Chinese saying? 多出几重隔膜], so polite and regardhed inwardly It could be said that last night he had his true love ht that he bu, ‘after seeing ghost, afraid of the dark’ And now, facing another woman of unmatched beauty that was able to radually and entrench hi prudent and cautious, to avoid stepping on the wrong path?
He said apologetically, “I aivedeep into his eyes, shi+ Feixuan said, “Right now, other than ht that you have left Chengdu and are rushi+ng back to the east Therefore, if you shake your body and beco said, “The first step ought to be: let the people know that Yue Shan’s honorable self has come This matter, if you say it’s difficult then it’s not, but if you say it’s easy, it’s not either Aenerations, not many knew than Yue Shan existed Not only that, I have just left, and then Yue Shan arrives; won’t people suspect it is too much of a coincidence?”
shi+ Feixuan s to understand why you and Kou Zhong are able to move unhindered across the world! The fact is: that is precisely the first difficulty Although in his later years Yue Shan crossed over the secluded forest of the small valley, but for the last several decades he never left the valley even for half a step On top of that, after he becadu It could be said that nobody knew him Fortunately, you, this fake Yue Shan, had once appeared in Luoyang To so Cainu [talented wo to track you down is also heard in here; therefore, Feixuan du Wulin know that Yue Shan’s honorable self has honor the suddenly said, “Will Miss trust ?”
Startled, shi+ Feixuan replied, “Of course! Does Xu Xiong have so a deep breath, Xu Ziling said, “As aMiss shi+ not to do anything for me, in fact, don’t evenout and have him eliminated”
shi+ Feixuan’s pretty eyes lit up with astonished bright light; she spoke softly, “Xi Ying is absolutely not an easy man to deal with If he had really mastered the ‘Ziqi Tian Luo’ [lit purple cloud (auspicious portent in astrology) heavenly gauze (sifter)] of the ‘Mie Qing Dao’ [lit the way to extinguish feeling/e’s Will Xu Xiong still have the confidence?”
Calhed and said, “If I die, I will have to trouble Miss to tell Kou Zhong While you are doing that, please also tell him it would be best for him to return to his hometown and open a cake shop! This will be Xiaodi’s last words”
Laughing aloud, he floated away
shi+ Feixuan waited until his shadow disappeared in the forest on the slope before letting out a faint sigh and left in the opposite direction
