Chapter 96 Mercenary Rebellion

Ji Moshu and others were quick and arrived at the coast that night.

I saw Xiaoyu pacing back and forth on the beach, bent down from time to time and groping in the sea. I don’t know how long it took, some faint light blue halos gradually appeared on the coast, and Xiaoyu immediately screamed excitedly.

Fast, go in the direction of these blue lights.

Ji Moshu and others looked at each other, not understanding what kind of way to distinguish directions was, and only thought that this was a local method that fishermen knew.

Uncle Zhao and others did not dare to delay, so they immediately pushed the prepared canoe into the water. The canoe were all light and light models specially prepared. Although there were not many people on a boat, they ran away quickly.

Uncle Zhao agreed with this, but Ji Moshu didn't let someone bring an oil lamp, but instead asked someone to catch some fireflies and put them in the jar, which acted as a faint biological lighting.

Uncle Zhao and the stunt masters did not understand, but Ji Moshu only thought that fireflies were living creatures. If there were any miasma, poisonous gases and other things in the sea of ​​death, fireflies would be poisoned and died. This could be used as a sign of escape to a certain extent, so there would be no objection to everyone.

The waves happen to be very small tonight, and the sea is calm, which is a good time to go out to sea.

Sitting on the narrow canoe, Ji Moshu pricked up his ears and listened patiently. The sea breeze blew from afar, sounding like a low whimpering sound, very quiet, with only the sound of waves slapping on the hull around.

As it gradually moved away from the coast, the canoe made of logs completely merged into the vast sea, and it was pitch black everywhere. It was impossible to tell where the sky was and where the sea was.

Hiding in the vast sea, except for Su Qingzhou and Xiaoyu who have experience going out to sea, the rest of the people are surrounded by a strange sense of loss.

This is the most common problem for inland people to go to sea. If you stay on the water for a long time without direction, you will have an illusion of being in nothingness and reality.

It is November now, and the sea breeze at night is like a layer of white frost on everyone's face. The girls' frozen red faces are like a faint fragrance of wintersweet blooming in the cold winter under the bright and cold white moonlight.

Put on this and don't freeze.Ji Moshu covered Wei Xiaoyi's insulated blanket, and the little girl was trembling with cold. She was a little annoyed about this. She wouldn't have listened to Wei Xiaoyi if she had known it. It would have been too much of affair with them.

Then what are you building?Wei Xiaoyi wrapped himself in a blanket and looked at Ji Moshu and asked.

It's okay, I'll squeeze in with Sister Su.Ji Moshu had to squeeze with Su Qingzhou. Although it was a bit awkward, it could at least drive away the cold.

Xiaoyu also simply squeezed with Wei Xiaoyi, and the body temperature exchange was much more insulated than just wrapping a blanket.

Seeing this, the bodyguards followed suit, and except for those who rowed and kept watch, everyone else squinted their eyes to replenish their energy.

I was so confused that I didn't know how long I had been floating, but Ji Moshu was dizzy, but there was always a vast ocean everywhere, and I couldn't see the so-called island in Xiaoyu's mouth.

Uncle Zhao looked at the sea that seemed to be unable to see the edge, and couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake. He went further out to the sea. Canoes like theirs could not get out of the sea, but Xiaoyu was extremely persistent, and the island was in this area of ​​water.

Then he searched for another day. In the early morning of that day, Ji Moshu was awakened by the commotion.

Uncle Zhao sat at the bow of the boat and stared at the front. As the boat approached little by little, the outline of the island appeared faintly in the vast sea.

Warning.

Uncle Zhao quickly stood up and blew the conch used to report the message.

The dull sound of conch can always be heard far enough, Ji Moshu got up dizzyly and saw the island appearing in the distance.However, seeing Uncle Zhao's nervous look on his face, she reminded him.

Uncle Zhao, what are you doing?

Be cheered up, this may be an hallucination. Just cover your mouth and nose with a cloth, and we may be poisoned.Uncle Zhao took out his handkerchief soaked in water to cover his mouth and nose, not daring to relax at all.

He rarely goes to sea, but the brothers on the sea told him that this situation will occur in the sea and in the desert. Miasma will make people hallucinate. Combined with the strange rumors in this water, the islands that appear at this time are likely to be fake, and they are the illusion caused by their poisoning. If they rashly pass, they may die.

Master Zhao, if you worry too much, that is indeed the island we are looking for.Xiaoyu interrupted lightly at this time.

What?Uncle Zhao looked at Xiaoyu.

The little fisherman pointed to the water, look.Looking in the direction pointed by Xiaoyu, you can vaguely see something like aquatic plants swaying with the water flow below after passing the dim water surface. If the corals on the coast are hallucinating miasma in front of you, is it the same below?

It was as if to prove it, Xiaoyu picked up the bamboo pole that measured the water level and stirred it to the bottom of the water. When he picked it up, he happened to be wrapped with a few water plants at the end of the bamboo pole.

Su Qingzhou picked up the firefly lamp and looked it carefully. It was indeed aquatic plants.

That's how little girl really has you.Uncle Zhao touched his head awkwardly and secretly scolded himself for not having a single girl in his life who had seen much knowledge.

Ji Moshu quickly patted his face and cheered up. Considering that there should be a large number of people on the island, they rashly went over and had too big a goal, so she simply asked everyone to stop and cover the firefly lamp with a cover.

Taking advantage of the dim light at dawn, they looked for a bay with backlight and hidden woods.

It seemed that God was helping her, and soon she found a suitable bay, and the morning light of the sun also emerged from the horizon.

The water vapor on the sea evaporates in the morning light, and then a fog forms on the nearshore of the island.

God-given opportunity.

Hurry up, hurry up and go to the shore while there is fog, leave half of the people here to wait for the reception, and follow me to the island with good skills.Ji Moshu quickly gave an order, then turned to Wei Xiaoyi and Xiaoyu and said, "Don't go around here."

good.

Everyone, hurry up.

The stadiumers quickly slid the boat, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the coast. While the fog had not yet dissipated, half of them were left here to watch the canoes waiting to be answered, while the rest quickly drilled into the woods and hid.

The sky was brighter and the fog dissipated. At this time, they were able to see the general situation of the island.

This island is much larger than the kind of deserted island I imagined, with lush vegetation. As Xiaoyu said, it has rich resources and has nothing to do with the deserted island. It may be because of rumors that no one dares to approach it for many years, and everything here seems very primitive.

But it was limited to the periphery. As she penetrated into the woods, she soon noticed some burning traces on the ground.

This is charcoal?Uncle Zhao bent down and pinched a black thing, gently twisted the fingertips a few times, and the black thing turned into pieces, leaving a black mark, which was clearly charcoal.

This is an island surrounded by sea water. It is unlikely that it is a wildfire and no villagers dare to come over. Why are there signs of burning?

Shu, Uncle Zhao, haven’t you always said that there are many rumors of monsters and monsters that cannot be touched?This time you have to see clearly, what is ghost, what is it.Ji Moshu suddenly turned around and said to Uncle Zhao in a low voice.

There are many unexplained strange phenomena in this world. People will instinctively fear the unknown. Therefore, those who are interested will use these phenomena to pretend to be gods and ghosts to achieve their goals. Obviously, Su Niang also used this point to forge a so-called miasma water here to support her troops.

What?Uncle Zhao's face was serious. Is it because everyone is pretending to be a ghost?At this time, smoke gradually rose above the forest in the distance. Yes, it was smoke.

Is there anyone living on this island?

So why do the people in Qingzhou say that people close to this water will disappear, or do people outside cannot get out when they come in?

Many wild guesses popped up in his mind instantly, but his questions were quickly answered.

After careful exploration in the outer woods for a while, they found several ships on the coast of the island near the outer sea. One of them was the Ji family's ship, but these ships were all tied with thick ropes and were moored on the coast, as if they had not sailed for a long time.

Uncle Zhao lowered his terror between his eyebrows and eyes. Someone actually lived on the island to pretend to be a ghost.

Without staying too much, they crossed the woods outside and found more traces of human activities inside the island, burned firewood and coal, and some soil pits dug out to cook food.

Uncle Zhao and several stints were almost unable to close their mouths. This is conclusive evidence that there are people living on the island, and the so-called sea of ​​miasma is an illusion created by man.

Soon, near the middle of the island, they noticed vaguely figures walking around the woods, and the vague sound of stick fighting came.

Uncle Zhao couldn't hold it in anymore, so he grabbed Ji Moshu, Miss Ji, don't go, maybe we stabbed the water bandit's nest, and if we get closer, we will be dead if we find out.The island is clearly inhabited, but it creates an illusion of a sea of ​​death to the outside world, which makes people frightened, which means that all those who come to the island have been killed.

As the saying goes, there are bandits on the road, and there are naturally bandits in the water, although he has not yet figured out how the bandits settled in this barren land and survived.

Ji Moshu almost let out a breath, and Su Qingzhou also looked helplessly at the highly nervous bodyguards. Ordinary people are too simple.

Uncle Zhao, look at this.

Uncle Zhao took the thing handed over by Ji Moshu. The touch was made of wooden. When he looked down, he turned out to be a wooden arrow.

Do the water bandits need to use wooden arrows?

Ji Moshu and Su Qingzhou didn't talk, and the few continued to go deeper slowly, and at this time they could see the situation inside clearly.

After crossing the woods, there was a clearing inside. Looking around, they were basically young men and women, both Tianyuan, wearing simple coarse linen.

The hinterland of the island seems to have been specially cleaned up. Under the hiding of the outer ring forest, many open spaces were cleared out, and simple houses were built around it, and the things on the open space were even more shocking.

There are all kinds of wooden knives, wooden escapes, spears, arrows, and horses. At this time, several young men and women were shooting at the wooden target with bows and arrows.

It is true that even Uncle Zhao is a fool, he can react at this time.He never dared to speak again, and even breathed out and committed suicide for fear of being discovered.

What is in front of us is not a water bandit nest, but a training ground.

Uncle Zhao and several stunts were almost out of touch. Why did this so-called sea of ​​death have a training ground? Is there anyone on the island trying to rebel?

Miss Ji, is this what you are talking about?

Maybe.Ji Moshu responded casually, trying to lower his body and silently look at the training ground.

Seeing that she was still acting so calmly, Uncle Zhao was so anxious that he said what he was in his heart. This was not a ghost, it was obvious that someone wanted to rebel.As soon as the words were finished, the studs looked at each other, with strange expressions on their faces.

Shhh.Ji Moshu seriously blocked everyone's mouths, this is the water bandit.

The water bandits pretended to be by officers and soldiers.Su Qingzhou added.

……

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have expected it, Uncle Zhao and others felt that they were involved in a shocking conspiracy for no reason, and they could not say anything.

However, seeing Ji Moshu and the others were very calm, by the way, when they thought of Su Qingzhou's words, they nodded at the same time.

Yes, this is the water bandits, the water bandits pretended to be by the officers and soldiers. If not, their heads would be out of stock.

Su Qingzhou and Ji Moshu had no time to talk. They didn't even focus too much on these trained soldiers, but focused on finding places where Mr. Ji might be locked up.

They came here this time not to investigate anything or want to know anything, but just for Mr. Ji.

Mo Shu, where do you think they will lock Uncle Ji?Su Qingzhou asked Ji Moshu.

Ji Moshu was also thinking that the boss would definitely not kill Mr. Ji if he had any requests. After all, Mr. Ji was just a businessman, not a politician with deep confusion, and was useful. He would definitely not torture him in a prison cell or something like a criminal. Then the guarded house is the key point of attention.

Find a house with or without a guard.

It makes sense.Su Qingzhou quickly understood. She looked around the soldiers guarding around, but how we went to find them was like a living target when we walked out.

What's the difficulty, look at it.Uncle Zhao replied in response.

In the strange eyes of Ji Moshu and Su Qingzhou, Uncle Zhao and several other corpses were hiding in the bushes. After a while, he saw several soldiers coming together, plucking their hands in their crotch, and then surrounding a tree.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhao and several studs rushed forward, and a soldier with a knife fell softly, and he didn't even have time to lift his pants.

Uncle Zhao and others carried the person to Ji Moshu and Su Qingzhou, stripped naked the soldiers' clothes without saying a word and handed them to Ji Moshu.

Ji Moshu looked at the naked human-shaped objects lying on the ground, a ball of black things, and even a pool of suspicious wet marks, emitting a steaming... smell in the cold wind.

After taking the clothes that Uncle Zhao handed her, which was still temperature-tight, she didn't know how to move her hands, and she always felt very disgusting.

Uncle Zhao quickly stripped off another soldier and handed her clothes to Su Qingzhou. Seeing Ji Moshu's awkward movement, he smiled and joked, "Why is Miss Ji like Kun'er's family? Everyone is embarrassed about Tianyuan. You have to walk around the world all year round like Uncle, and you have to go to the cottage with your brothers to compete with who can pee farther away."

As he said that, it was really convenient to get around a tree with several stintsmen.

Ji Moshu's face turned red in an instant. Her little face, which had been white for several days, turned out to be a scorched bone in Luoyang. She put on her clothes in a few seconds and pulled Su Qingzhou to escape from this place full of strange smell.

As expected, they are all a group of rash men in the village, extremely vulgar.

Su Qingzhou smiled and looked at Ji Moshu's reaction. His blushing face looked like Ji Moshu in his memory. There may have been too many changes in the past year. Ji Moshu has shed the shyness of his young daughter's family. Not to mention being shy, he always has a blank face and is unhappy, which makes her sister really not know how to persuade her.

With this disguise that is both full of color, fragrance and flavor, they sneaked into the barracks. Because they were not familiar with the situation here, they did not dare to cause suspicion, so they tried their best to avoid people.

After careful investigation on the island for half a day, I learned that these soldiers were all refugees from near Qingzhou and had been practicing on the island for several years.

Soon, they found the place where the house was resting. In addition to the large shops where soldiers entered and exited, there were several buildings that looked outstanding, with three or two soldiers in charge. If they were not big men, they would probably have been imprisoned.

Do you want to inquire now?

Don't wait for the evening.

Ji Moshu held Su Qingzhou.

Su Qingzhou felt it was reasonable and lies down.
