The brand new ship has begun to sink, and the water accumulated to three feet deep in the bottom cabin.

When hundreds of ship workers gritted their teeth and roared and rowed the boat into the dock, they could hear the crackling sound of cracking and breaking from the bilge and beach. Before they could close the dock gate, the big ship was stranded at the dock entrance and could no longer move. The water in the bottom cabin gushed wildly and soon flooded the cabin. The boatmen who were rowing were wet and pale, abandoning the boat ashore.

After Chen Xu got off the ship, he arranged several guards to ask the shipyard to arrange more fishing boats to go out to sea to search and rescue. At the same time, he began to interrogate the rescued Mo Tu and the boatman, and soon found out the beginning and cause of the incident.

Although these Mo disciples were not particularly clear about the arrangements of Huangshigong, a group of alchemists such as the Mo family and Hougong had indeed been together for more than three years.

Huangshi Gong not only captured Gai Nie and Gongsun Beiyan half a year ago, but also caught Shui Qingrou, Yu Wuya and another woman who called herself Luo Shengtang who went to sneak attack the camp in the middle of the night.

"Mr. Marquis, it seems that the Marquis was indeed kidnapped by Mr. Huangshi. Mr. Yu and Gai Nie fell into the water. Do I want me to go to the magistrate of Langya County to mobilize the lieutenant to recruit boatmen and fishermen to pursue them again!" The guard leader asked anxiously.

"Mr. Marquis, the few large ships in the shipyard are not available at present. They can only summon fishing boats to go out to sea, which is very dangerous..." Jiang Chuxing reminded.

"We have to go even if we are in danger. We don't need to summon the lieutenant. We quickly inform the Langya County Magistrate to recruit large ships. It is not yet noon now, and it is still time to go out to pursue the sea. As long as we can find the island where Huangshigong and others are hiding, this marquis must fry these bandits into meat sauce!"

"Here!" The guard leader left with his fists.

At this time, fishing boats in and out of the entire shipyard, including fishing boats that went out to sea to continue searching, and fishing boats that rescued people and returned. A large number of rescued boatmen and motus were sent to the shore, and dozens of corpses were also present, some of which were missing arms and legs and even had no heads.

Whether it was a dead person or a living person, Chen Xu carefully identified it, but still did not find any familiar faces.

An hour later, it was around noon, and the sun had risen above my head. In the strong sunlight, the beach near the shipyard was filled with corpses and rescued boatman Mo Tu.

Most of the fishing boats searching for the sea also returned.

According to the fishermen who searched, both large ships had sunk. After searching for the sea with a radius of dozens of miles, basically all the living and dead people who could be found had been brought back.

Chen Xu's face was as cold as an iceberg.

Based on the continuous inquiry and identification, he had basically confirmed that Yu Wuya and Gai Nie had no chance of survival.

Another half an hour passed, and the last few fishing boats that went out to sea to search also returned together.

"We also found one, and it still has a breath~" Before a fishing boat landed, the fishermen on the boat kept shouting loudly.

A group of people rushed up with a whistle, and Chen Xu jumped into the sea and rushed to the bow of the boat. Looking at a middle-aged man lying in the cabin, he couldn't help but tremble. He was so familiar with this middle-aged man, Gai Nie, the world-famous swordsman of the Wei Dynasty. However, his eyes were closed and his teeth were clenched, and his face was pale as white as paper.

"Let the doctor come here!" Chen Xu touched his nose and found that there was still a faint breath. He quickly asked a group of people to drag the fishing boat ashore. An old doctor with gray hair and an apprentice hurriedly ran over with a medicine box and started to check and rescue.

These are already the last few fishing boats.

Although Gai Nie was rescued, there was still no trace of Yu Wuya.

Chen Xu's heart instantly sank into the endless dark abyss.

Yu Wuya was the first person he met after traveling to the Qin Dynasty and could truly rely on. It was with Yu Wuya's help that he had reached his current position step by step. It was Yu Wuya that he met Shu Qingrou, who could truly stay with him and could not give up.

Yu Wuya's position in his heart is unsubstitutable. Although he doesn't seem to be very calm on weekdays, he is meticulous and has always protected his safety without any reservations.

He is his best brother or even his elder brother!

An uncontrollable sadness and despair spread throughout the body, as if the whole world suddenly became dim and could no longer feel the warmth. Before I knew it, two lines of tears flowed down my cheeks.

This is the first time he has truly been sad and crying in two lives.

"Marty, the fishing boats going out to sea are ready!" Jiang Chuxing walked to Chen Xu and whispered.

"Get ready!" Chen Xu wiped away tears with his sleeves, turned around, his face full of frost.

"Set out~" The guard leader roared and brought a group of guards and twenty young men carrying fire guns on board. Xiao He, Liu Bang and Cao Shen followed without hesitation.

"Brother Jiang, Miss Chu Yue, you two stay. If we haven't come back in three days, you will go to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion in Xianyang to inform the princess and Wanniang, and ask them to take good care of their health and take good care of their parents for me!" Chen Xu reached out to stop Jiang Chuyue and Jiang Chuxing.

"Marty..."

"Chen Lang..."

Jiang Chuxing and Jiang Chuyue were almost stunned in place at the same time.

"There is no chance of going here. You don't need to follow me to take risks. If an accident occurs, you must ask the governor of Jiang to report to the emperor and get rid of Xiang in advance, and say that this is what I mean!"

"Marty..."

Jiang Chuxing still wanted to speak, but Chen Xu turned around and soon ten fishing boats set off the shore, leaving only the Jiang brothers and sisters standing alone on the dock in a daze.

These ten fishing boats are five meters long and ten meters wide, and they are completely incomparable to the sea boats of Huangshigong and others. They can only ride in a dozen people, and there is no closed cabin at all. However, for now, they are already the best and largest ship that can be found.

For safety, there were only the guards and boys brought by Chen Xu, as well as Liu Bang and Xiao He and others on the ten fishing boats. The rest of the boatmen were fishermen, not only how to row, but also had good water quality.

But in the vast ocean, it doesn’t matter whether the water is good or not. If you are two or three miles away from the coast, you may swim back if you fall into the water or capsize. However, if you go deep into the ocean, no matter how good the water is, it will be a dead end.

What's more, it's the middle of May, and the tropical storm is coming. Chen Xu and his party have only been in Langya for seven or eight days, but they have experienced three storms here, especially the storm last night. The violent waves sound like thousands of troops rushing, and the thunder and lightning lasted for more than an hour. The downpour rain almost overturned the houses they lived in. More than ten cars of local specialties brought from Wuzhong were blown over by the strong wind. They still lived in their foot houses. If it were ordinary thatched houses by the sea, they would probably be blown away without a trace.

Therefore, Chen Xu was not sure about going overseas this time.

But according to the instructions of several Mo Pu who were familiar with the island, you can reach the deserted island in less than three hours as everything goes well.

The sun is shining and the sea is calm. As long as you are smooth, you will definitely be able to find that island before sunset.

Ten fishing boats lined up in two rows, no more than twenty feet apart.

Each boat was riding ten people, and the spare places were all dry food and drinking water, enough for three days to eat and drink.

Except for the fishermen who rowed, Chen Xu and others were almost the first time they sailed on the sea on this small wooden boat.

This kind of boat has neither mast nor sails, and is a flat-bottomed boat like a river boat, and it cannot be drifted at all. Therefore, it is like a wooden board floating on the sea surface. Even the slightest wind and waves will flutter with each other. What's more, the sea seems to be the most peaceful state, but only by sailing into the sea can you feel this violent shaking all the time.

After driving for less than half an hour, Chen Xu's face turned pale, and a group of teenagers were even more pale and vomiting.

It is not just that the boats will bump, but the big boats will bump, because the big boats are all flat-bottomed boats, with neither mast nor sails, nor steer wheels that are easy to control. Only a giant wooden oar at the stern of the boat acts as the rudder, which requires several people to pull. However, because the big boats are heavier and have less impact on the slight wind and waves, they will easily capsize.

Almost no one spoke. They sat nervously in the cabin and grabbed the handrails of the cabin tightly. Only the fishermen who were rowing shouted horns and looked relaxed. Looking at the performance of Chen Xu and others, they felt a little psychologically satisfied.

They didn't want to go out to sea on fishing boats, but under the oppression of the Langya County Magistrate, they had to go out to sea. They could only take advantage of the calmness of the wind and boating to find the island. Otherwise, when night falls or storms come, there will be only a dead end.

The deeper you go to the sea, the seemingly calm sea becomes more and more turbulent. Apart from the sunlight, you can only see layers of waves rolling in the distance, rolling white lights from afar. The fishing boats rise and fall violently in the waves like duckweed, slowly disappearing into the vast sea under the slanting sunlight.

The sun sets westward and is approaching the hour of You.

At the junction of sea and sky in the West, a red sun was about to sink to the sea level. The sky gradually became gloomy and the sea breeze began to become more violent.

With the continuous rotation of fishermen, the ten fishing boats had penetrated the sea for more than a hundred miles. When they arrived here, all the fishermen were almost exhausted, and Chen Xu and others were all vomiting, their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys were in a state of failure. Several boatmen as guides were all standing at the bow of the boat and constantly looking around.

According to time and distance, the island should be nearby.

The sun quickly fell below the sea level, with only a touch of red glow left in the sky, and the vast ocean also began to see the sight dimly and blurred.

"Look, the island is in the southeast!"

Just when everyone was anxious, a boatman suddenly pointed at the junction of the southeast sea and sky, and indeed saw a dark shadow looming, as if a sea beast was lying on the sea surface and shaking with the waves.

In fact, this is an illusion because Chen Xu and others are almost confused by the impulse.

Chen Xu took out his telescope and stood up to watch it. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, it should be that island, with a faint fire on it!"

"Ao, hurry up and quickly ~"

Everyone was instantly inspired. Not only did a group of guards excitedly take over the fishermen's oars, but Xiao He and Liu Bang also rolled up their sleeves and paddled with wooden scoops.

As the island gets closer, you can quickly see the peaks, reefs and even trees on the island. Sure enough, you can also see a few match-sized flames.

"Young Master, we'd better avoid Huangshi Gong's camp first, find a leeward to the shore, and then take a break before inquiring about the whereabouts of Concubine Marquis and others!" Xiao He reminded.

"Yes, we don't know the movements of Huang Shigong and others at the moment, so it's better to be careful!" Cao Shen nodded and agreed.

"Young Master, this island is big enough, and our boat is small. You can just find a beach to dock, so that you can go to the island without anyone noticing!" Liu Bang also whispered.
Chapter completed!
