Chapter 996 Cutting Off the Retreat
Bailie offered them a reward they couldn't refuse, so they took the risk of carrying people on a hurricane day and illegally going to the island.
But Bailie didn't mention that this job also carries the risk of being beheaded!
Seeing these vicious men wielding knives at any time, the captains were also afraid. What if the Bailong people came back when the hurricane landed and forced them to go out to sea?
Being cut in the neck is death, but going out to sea at that time is also death!
Everyone gathered together to discuss that they couldn't stay in this place.
But the Bailong people also left a few guards. When they heard them mumbling, they came over and said:
"What are you talking about?"
Looking at the knives on their waists, everyone laughed: "Nothing, let's eat something."
The Bailong people were afraid of being exposed, so they didn't let them make a fire, so everyone could only eat some dry food and cold food.
In this damn weather, the more they eat, the colder it gets.
At this time, a captain pointed to the sea: "Run away, run away!"
Everyone squeezed to the edge of the cave and saw that there were indeed two fishing boats away from the shore and heading into the sea. It was too late for the Bailong guards to jump down and intercept them.
"Isn't that Huang Laosan and Li Mazi?" Everyone sighed, "These two bastards are cunning, leaving us and secretly sailing away!"
They hesitated here, but others had already taken action.
The captains on the shore looked at the two boats with envy. The Bailong guards held a steel knife and shouted at them: "Do you want to escape together? Get into the cave!"
It would have been better if they didn't shout this sentence. When the captains heard it, their minds became active.
Yes, there were only five guards in total, but there were more than 20 on their side. If everyone jumped down and sailed together, how many could the Bailong guards stop?
People who fought the wind and waves on the sea all day were brave enough. When they thought of this, they secretly winked at each other.
The Bailong people also felt something was wrong and were about to yell, but suddenly someone pointed at the sea and shouted:
"It's capsized, they're going to capsize!"
Everyone rushed to the cave entrance and saw that the two ships that had escaped to the sea were already swaying in the wind and waves, and at this time it seemed that something was jumping back and forth on the deck. The boat was swinging sideways without anyone controlling it, and it couldn't withstand the two waves and capsized.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces were very ugly.
"Huang Laosan is very good at boating, how could it capsize so easily!"
"Didn't you see what was on his boat?"
"Yin Hu, it's Yin Hu!" Someone's face turned pale, "How come these ghost things come out in a hurricane!"
"They shouldn't be near Sodin Island!"
"With these things underwater, our boat can't go out!"
Forget it, now everyone gave up the idea of sneaking out to sea.
No matter how strong the wind and waves are, there is still a chance if you try; with Yin Hu underwater, who dares to go to sea to die?
They talked a lot, and the Bailong guards looked uglier the more they listened.
Just then, there was a new visitor on the beach.
The guards were alert, but soon found that the visitors were all their own people.
They were the elites around Wanqi Feng.
"What's the situation here?" The elite asked, "The young master asked everyone to be ready and may set off at any time."
Wanqi Feng went to the dock for support, but he did not give up the retreat and still asked people to come to check the situation of the ship.
"Set off at any time?" The guard smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid we can't get out!"
"The wind and waves are too big?" The elite frowned, "Isn't there a talisman on the bottom of the ship? It should be able to withstand the wind and waves now, right?"
After all, the hurricane has not landed directly yet.
The ships participating in tonight's operation were all pasted with "Dixing Fu".
This talisman has eight pieces in a set, the main talisman is pasted on the main cabin, and the seven secondary talismans are pasted around the hull, which can make the ship like a tumbler, and it can return to the right position after being blown by the wind and waves.
If this thing is not pasted, how dare the sea ship go out in this weather? It will be overturned if it does not sail more than 200 feet.
The Lu family doesn't have such good stuff. Several sets of the Dixing Fu were taken out by the Bejia people. If you want to support the riot, you can't just rely on words, at least there must be material support.
Before the guards could answer, the captain of the boat next to him shouted: "There are Yin Hu tugboats under the water. If you go, one will die. If you go, two will die. It's more terrible than the wind and waves!"
The boatmen said one after another: "We won't go out to sea. We won't go out even if you kill us!"
The guards also said to the elites: "Just now, two ships went out to sea, and they were towed away by Yin Hu. The boats were destroyed and people died! These things seem to be swimming nearby!"
The Yin Hu attacked the ships, and they went out to sea to gamble their lives. What's more, the wind and waves are getting more violent. When the young master arrives, the sea conditions may not be suitable for sailing.
Although the "Dixing Fu" is good, it has limited power after all. Facing the infinite power of the ocean, who dares to say that the talismans refined by the magician can hold up to the end?
So these elites nodded after listening, told them to continue to stick to their posts, and then turned and left.
They should report this incident to Wanqi Feng as soon as possible.
¥¥¥¥¥
After issuing the order on the tray, Yu Zecheng stood up and pushed the door open.
He Xiao was dead, so there was no need for him to sit here and pretend.
He had been sitting in the room for half a night, bored. After all, he had fought so many battles on the battlefield. Thinking of his men intercepting the burrow spider queen in the east of Sodin Island, he couldn't help it.
The guests of the hot spring cottage were of course aware of the successive incidents outside. At this time, they all left the guest room and squeezed outside to watch.
Panic and anxiety were everywhere.
The guards of the hot spring cottage rushed in to maintain law and order. When the guests asked what was going on outside, they only said that Qingyun Road was dangerous and the dock was even more turbulent. Only by staying in the cottage could they be safe.
Such words were of course not convincing. Many people hurried out, wanting to go to the dock to take a boat to leave.
Yu Zecheng and three other people also joined the group of customers and walked out.
But before they reached the door, several people flashed past, blocking their way.
"Where are you going, Master Yu? We have prepared a special midnight snack for the distinguished guests tonight." Blocking the way were two Rongshan people, Lu Qiuwei and Du Xiaoyi. Lu Qiuwei was all smiles, "Each guest is given a perfectly roasted young leg of lamb, paired with 20-year-old Spring Mountain wine. It is a time-honored brand in Blade Port! There is also a bowl of brown sugar lotus seed soup after the meal to relieve tiredness..."
"Get out of the way." He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and Yu Zecheng also smiled, "I'm going out for a walk. You can just bring me a midnight snack to my room."
Lu Qiuwei groaned: "It's not peaceful outside. You are Beijia's distinguished guest. If something unexpected happens when you go out, how can we afford this responsibility?"
"What if?" The guard behind Yu Zecheng couldn't help but said, "Your island owner He Xiao is dead, what if you tell us?"
Lu Qiuwei's smile never diminished: "I only do my job, how can I care about external affairs?"
"Your mission is me?" Yu Zecheng looked at him twice, and the more he looked, the more he felt his heart sinking. The master is dead, how can his subordinates have this attitude? "Get out of the way, I don't want to kill anyone tonight."
As soon as Du Xiaoyi whistled, someone would go to guard every door and window of Nuanxiangzhai.
