As we sailed, the water surface gradually widened, and both sides of the vast expanse were blurred. The new water and the old water stirred up, setting off waves six or seven feet high. Looking from a distance, the sky and water merged into one.
Merchant ships follow the official ships at a short distance, just like the clouds in the sky, which is the color of the sails. Behind these merchant ships, there are also some private ships, which are not merchant ships, but so-called tourist ships. Most of the people who chartered these ships were individual passengers, including out-of-town squires or well-endowed scholars who wanted to return home from the capital.
Although these squires or scholars have more status and wealth than ordinary people, they are not able to get on official ships. They can be squeezed into a ship with businessmen, but they are unwilling to do so for various reasons.
Therefore, this combination of a boatman, several sailors and a medium-sized travel boat has become the first choice of these people.
At present, most of the passenger ships follow the merchant ships. Looking at it coldly, there is not much difference. They are just not like the official ships hanging yellow dragon flags and lanterns with the official name, nor are they like the merchant ships hanging lanterns with a certain family name.
You can tell whose boat it is at a glance.
"Sir, if we go further, we will reach the mouth of the sea. By then, a small boat like ours will not be able to go very far at all. It may be overturned by wind and waves at any time. Are you sure you want to continue going forward?"
There is a travel boat at the end. The boatman looks big and rough, but he is very careful. Looking at Mr. Sun who chartered the boat, he can't help but murmur in his heart.
It has to be said that at first I just saw Mr. Sun's gorgeous clothes and his generous spending. I gave him twenty taels as a deposit alone. He also spent extra money to buy some snacks for the road. He did not require entering the sea. He only said that along the way.
It only took a short walk along the river, so I agreed to the job.
But looking at Mr. Sun's posture now, it doesn't look like he is planning to stop. Could it be that this young man is planning to take this boat into the sea?
I'm just afraid that if a big wave hits the boat, the boat will become loose.
"We haven't reached the entrance yet, why are you in a hurry?" The young man who had been turning his back to the boatman turned around and took a cold look with his dark eyes.
The boatman, who was about to say something else, suddenly shuddered subconsciously when he caught the young man's gaze, and felt that all the hairs on his body were exploding.
An instinctive fear of being targeted by a dark evil beast almost made his legs weak and he immediately collapsed there.
Fortunately, Mr. Sun just scolded him and turned around again.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the boatman did not dare to say anything more. Thinking about it, Mr. Sun was right. He was still walking along the river bank and did not go out to sea. He had not yet reached the shore.
"Forget it, let's move on." He waved to a few sailors, and the captain sighed and walked away. Sun Buhan, who had been looking at the fleet ahead from a distance, barely suppressed the violence in his heart.
He was almost losing control of himself and attacking the boatman.
But if the identity of the monster is exposed in public, the next plan will be ruined, so it is very difficult to endure it.
In the eyes of others, he was looking at the caravan following him, but in fact, his eyes looked past the merchant ships and official ships, and locked directly on the imperial envoy ship.
"The Imperial Envoy, the Minister of War...hehe..."
As expected of a third-grade officer, when he was not seriously injured, he would not be such a strong deterrent, but now from such a distance, the momentum coming towards him, and the rolling power of the imperial ship, he was burning like the scorching sun, and
I am like a fish out of water, I can't get close at all, otherwise the pain will suddenly intensify.
Even being so far away is still harmful to my skin.
"Ahem!" He stared straight ahead and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Sun Buhan slowly lowered the hand that was covering his mouth, looked up, and found that the blood in his palm was not bright red, but blood that was almost black in color, with tiny blood clots in it.
Is this body going to be unable to hold on?
"What a shame, one step is missing, one step is missing." Sun Buhan lowered his eyes and looked at the black blood, and smiled solemnly: "Then let's win."
"That vixen escaped my search many times. I didn't realize it at the time, but when I thought about it later, I found it very strange. Could it be that Wei Shizu's treasure in Qingqiu was on it?"
"Even if you are not here, there must be a great connection."
It is not that easy to seize the body. It must be exactly what the person was born with and the horoscope must match, and it will also consume part of the soul.
Otherwise, the ways of ghosts and gods have long been unscrupulous - wouldn't it be best to seize the prince's body?
Even if you are not a prince, wouldn’t it be best if you come from a wealthy family?
Dozens or hundreds of monsters who practice the ways of ghosts and gods join wealthy families. When they grow up, wouldn't they immediately change the world when they join forces?
Even now, Sun Buhan still wanted to preserve this body as much as possible. Of course, if he took away Wei Shizu's treasure, it would be worth giving up this body.
Originally, according to the plan, he planned to go deeper, but now his body could no longer hold on, and the people on the boat probably didn't want to either. Sun Buhan regretfully thought, so he could only rush to attack at the mouth of the sea.
He waved his sleeves lightly, and the wind that was already blowing became stronger.
It was still a favorable wind, blowing these boats straight and heading towards the sea faster.
"Boatman!" Sun Buhan shouted.
The boatman was already looking at the water with some fear. Sun Buhan shouted and came over immediately.
"Sir, do you want to dock?"
"What's the rush?" Sun Buhan glanced with a half-smile, then pointed to the right: "Turn around, go that way."
"But..."
"I haven't asked you to go to sea, but you are just turning around on this river, and you don't want to? Do you really think that this money is so easy to get?" Sun Buhan looked at the boatman with dark eyes, which made him feel cold in his heart. "Okay, okay, I will do as you say!" He agreed hastily, and the boatman immediately ran very fast.
Because this ship was hanging at the end of a fleet, its sudden turn did not attract much attention.
Along the way, there were quite a few ships following them, and from time to time they would arrive at a place to dock. Even if they noticed them, they would look away after just one glance.
Seeing that they arrived at a place in the wind, the wind became stronger and stronger, blowing the sails of the ship until they were about to break.
The boat is crooked and may roll over at any time in this area where the sea and river meet.
It was a big boat on the river, but here it looked weak and helpless.
"Sir, we really can't go any further. If we go any further, the boat will capsize!" The boatman said anxiously despite his fear of Sun Buhan.
After all, if we go further, the ship may be destroyed and people may be killed. Even if this young man is very scary, if he is going to die anyway, the fear will naturally disappear.
"Look ahead." Sun Buhan motioned to the boatman to look ahead.
"That, that's..."
A small island was blown away by the strong wind in the mist, revealing its true appearance.
This is probably because the estuary is formed by the silt of the river. It is right between the estuary and the real ocean. Although it is not big, seeing that the sky is getting dark and the wind is getting strong, it is indeed a safe way to park the boat on the shore and take shelter from the wind temporarily.
