Chapter 78 The white fog that cannot be escaped!
"It's you?"
After experiencing the shock that shattered her outlook on life, Chen Ying finally reacted and headed towards the port immediately.
She didn't know what was going on, but her reason told her that it would never be that simple. Using a spell that could drive all the warlock families crazy as a betrothal gift for a concubine? It was almost as outrageous as exchanging half of the country for a prostitute!
She couldn't understand what was happening in front of her. She urgently needed someone who could guide her, and the person she trusted the most in the world was naturally her teacher...
But when I walked to the port, I suddenly remembered that there were no ships at the pier.
Today's dock is completely different from the bustle of the past few days. In the past few days, cargo ships were coming one after another, and there were at least a thousand coolies at the dock. Even at midnight, it was brightly lit and bustling. She still remembered the horses at the door.
Erniang would ask her men to carry two buckets of meat porridge to the pier every day to sell.
But since the white fog appeared on the river, the dock has become more and more deserted, almost returning to the scene when the Liuzhou dock was deserted.
But at this time, a figure that surprised Chen Ying appeared at the pier.
The man was dressed in red and looked charming and frail. He was standing alone on the pier, which made people pity him.
Isn't it Chen Qing's beautiful concubine that the master asked him to escort here before?
No... So, you are already your second concubine?
Thinking of this, Chen Ying looked at the guy in front of her and felt even more weird, and couldn't help but grit her teeth...
"Where are you going, girl?"
It was Ah Li who spoke. She had been staying in Cui Yan's former courtyard. She had to be brought in three meals a day and rarely went out. However, this time she rarely went so far.
"This is what I want to ask." Chen Ying looked at the other party coldly: "Where are you going?"
"Oh?" Ah Li suddenly laughed sweetly: "I thought Master Chen didn't care about me anymore, but I didn't expect that people would still come to find me."
"You're thinking too much..." Chen Ying snorted coldly.
That being said, the man named Chen really doesn't care much about this charming concubine. He almost ran away without knowing it...
When she thought of this, Chen Ying didn't notice it herself, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
"That girl wants to leave by boat?" Ah Li said with a smile.
"You want to run away too?" Chen Ying looked at the other party funny.
"I kind of want to..." Ah Li nodded honestly, and as he replied, he looked at the layer of fog on the river that seemed to never dissipate.
Chen Ying was stunned and looked towards the river. Her eyes suddenly became solemn. She was called by the man named Chen in the morning to check. Unexpectedly, at noon, the fog showed no sign of dispersing. Does this mean something?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the shadow of a ship in the distance slowly sailing out of the fog.
"Is there a ship coming?" Chen Ying's heart moved. If she guessed correctly, this might be the first ship to enter the port today, right?
But as the ship approached, they saw a group of people on the deck jumping out of anger.
"What the hell is going on?"
There were obviously a group of merchants on the boat, and they all looked like they were crying.
"What kind of boating skills do you have?" A fat merchant cursed angrily at the old crewman at the helm: "You call me an old boatman, old boatman, you are like this? You have been sailing for a few days, and you still turned back!"
!”
"Masters, you really don't blame me!" The beefy boatman smiled bitterly: "Old man, I have been at the helm for so many years, and this is the first time I have encountered such an evil situation. I have walked this road along the river no less than a thousand times in the past few decades.
I can't make a mistake with my eyes closed, especially this last time, I always walked in a straight line and planned to go directly around the waterway in Baishui County, but this weird fog..."
When the boatman thought about the situation just now, he felt a chill on his back. It felt like he had entered a cycle. No matter how he walked, turned, or detoured, he would eventually bring the boat back!
and……
"Look, sir!" The boatman pointed to the sky with a helpless smile: "It's this time again!"
When everyone heard this and looked up, they felt a chill in their hearts. It was strange. It was dusk just now, why was the sun at the top again?
"You just said, how many days have you been wandering in this fog?"
Chen Ying, who had been listening, approached and asked with a solemn expression.
"Who is this girl?"
Seeing the two jade-like people, the mood of the ship dealers suddenly improved a lot.
Some of them even rolled their eyes secretly.
Whose girl is this pretty? How could she come here without any of her servants?
If he could be abducted to Tiandu, I'm afraid he could be sold for a high price!
"Answer my question!" Chen Ying was too lazy to talk to these merchants. As soon as her magic power was turned, a wave of wind pressure came over. All the ship merchants had no time to react, and they all knelt down with a thud.
Some businessmen who have seen the world immediately reacted and kowtowed: "But the adults of Yin Yang College? I am short-sighted and have offended the adults. Please forgive me!"
"You just said that you have been wandering in the fog for how many days?"
"Yes..." Several merchants kowtowed in reply, even though they didn't know what Onmyo Academy was, they were frightened by the strange technique.
Just kidding, I can make you kneel on the ground without using your hands and feet to get up. How can a merchant like them mess with this kind of ability?
"How is it possible..." Chen Ying stared blankly at the fog on the riverside after hearing this. If she remembered correctly, this fog only appeared yesterday, right?
"When did you set off?" Ah Li, who had been silent at the side, asked.
"I'm afraid... I set out four days ago!" one of the merchants said after calculation.
"Talk about the calendar!" Ahri said coldly.
"Uh... the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, yes, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I remember!" The merchant said quickly: "Isn't this the Liuzhou Duty Free? After we made a lot of money with our goods last time, we wanted to take the second trip while it was still hot.
We urged the cloth merchant surnamed Wang to deliver the goods, but he delayed us for two days. The goods did not arrive until the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year. We inspected and loaded the goods overnight, and set sail in a hurry on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I remember it clearly, I can't
Incorrect!"
Fourth day of the Lunar New Year?
Ah Li and Chen Ying looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes. The other said that they had been at sea for four days, but the fourth day of the Lunar New Year... was obviously yesterday!
"Do you know the reason?" Chen Ying looked at Ah Li and asked.
Ah Li showed a rare serious expression and shook his head.
She came to the dock because she felt something dangerous was approaching.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable. Even if she was reincarnated for thousands of years, she would not feel this kind of crisis with goosebumps all over her body.
You must know that she is a reincarnation demon and is not afraid of death. Death is just a new beginning for existences like them.
but……
This thing that was about to come made her feel a different threat than before. It seemed that if she encountered it, she would be in a real life and death crisis!
"Let's go!" Chen Ying got on the boat directly and said to the businessmen who were kneeling down: "Get up, sail the boat, I will go with you!"
"This..." A group of businessmen looked at each other and hesitated for a while. After all, the fog seemed to be really evil, but they did not dare to disobey the ancestor in front of them. In the end, the leader gritted his teeth and said: "Old Li, start the boat!"
Maybe it's not a bad thing. If the adults from Yin Yang Academy follow, they may be able to get out of the fog, and they may have time to take action on this batch of goods.
"Aren't you coming?" Chen Ying asked, looking at Ah Li who had no intention of getting on the boat.
Ahri hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head.
She felt...it would be safer to go back to Chen Qing's place...
——
The ship set sail very quickly under Chen Ying's skill. In just a few breaths, it left the dock and sailed into the thick fog.
Ah Li frowned and turned around to leave, but suddenly saw Chen Qing rushing over.
"My husband is here too?" Ah Li said with a smile.
"Where is Chen Ying?" Chen Qing asked directly.
"Oh, I thought my husband was worried about the slave family, but it turns out he is worried about the wild women outside!" Ah Li said in a charming tone.
"Just tell me what I'm asking you!" Chen Qing said coldly: "You should be able to feel it, right? With this heavy fog surrounding you, the guys in the capital who can protect you may not be of any use!"
"What about you, sir?" Ah Li looked at Chen Qing seriously: "Can you keep the slave family?"
"Then it depends on whether you can cooperate."
"Sir, how do you want the slave family to cooperate?" Ah Li approached with a smile and whispered in Chen Qing's ear: "Do you want the slave family to lie down or stand up?"
Chen Qing: "……."
"Okay... I'm just joking." Ah Li looked at the dark-faced Chen Qing, stopped teasing, pointed to the riverside and said: "A ship came just now, and the merchants on the ship said some weird things.
Your little concubine left with me."
"Weird words?" Chen Qing asked quickly: "Speak them word for word and let me hear them."
