Chapter 567: Entering the Water, Sea Attack
Speaking of the Ten Thousand Gold Ship, it is true that the ship is worth ten thousand taels of gold. There are all kinds of shops on the ship. Because it is located in the sea, most of the people coming and going are passengers from other ships, and most of them are martial arts masters. It is rare to meet ordinary people.
After walking for less than a hundred meters, they saw a loft inside the boat. There were two or three women standing on the terrace, waving colorful scented handkerchiefs and flirting with passers-by. They didn't expect that there was such a place with fireworks and red powder inside the boat. The two of them passed by here and could not avoid being harassed, especially by Li Changxiao. The women on the terrace spoke like arrows, and they had to break his defense and make him blush.
But Li Chang just smiled and walked away, not caring at all, which made the girl feel regretful and sorry. She just watched his back getting farther and farther away, unable to keep him.
After going up to the second floor, it was quiet immediately. Looking at the decorations around, it was much more elegant, as if I had walked from a bustling market to a gentleman's bedroom. It was just one step away, but it was a completely different world. There was a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of my nose. I was used to living in a narrow and cramped place, and suddenly came here, I always felt a little dazed. Even Mu Qin had some thoughts, wondering if she should have brought more money when she first set off and took a more spacious boat.
Although she didn't like luxury, she didn't have to suffer, but she immediately rejected it. The long journey was heading northwest. There was only one boat, and even if she brought more money, she could only sit in this small boat and live in the cramped house.
Looking around, they saw a banquet on the second floor, but no one knew who had set it up. The two of them walked past one side without interacting with the guests at the banquet. After walking a few steps away, Li Changxiao suddenly handed them a steaming white bread.
It was from the banquet. Mu Qin took one in each hand and took the white bread. She glanced at him and took a bite. Since they boarded the ship and sailed far away, they had eaten all the rice on the ship. They had been eating dry food and coarse grains. They were happy to eat this fine grain occasionally.
The two of them were just strolling around, and while they were strolling around, they heard some noise. They looked up and saw that an auction was taking place on the ship. Only those who were invited could enter, and it was just the beginning of the auction, so there were people walking around, and it was very lively.
Those who can enter are all well-known people on the sea. They can recognize each other's identity and call each other by name. They bow and compliment each other, and say polite words. There is no lack of etiquette.
I sneaked into the venue and saw that the lights were dim and everyone was standing. Only a tall, beautiful woman in thin clothes was presiding over the auction at the front desk.
What is being sold at the moment is a bright pearl with a smooth color and a soft glow. This product is extremely rare in this state. Within half a breath, there were voices of bidding. Judging from the tone of the voices, most of the bidders were women.
"The auction is held at sea, so there are probably some secrets that cannot be told to others." Li Changxiao became interested and had already visited most places on the ship. Seeing this scene, he didn't want to leave.
Mu Qin said nothing, but looked ahead, and saw that the girl spoke clearly and in a melodious voice, describing each item vividly. Allusions, effects, meanings, and values came out of her mouth, which was fascinating and not boring just to listen to. Not to mention the competition among various forces during the bidding, which was also very interesting.
Before we knew it, it was the second half. The girl smiled at the crowd, bowed, and walked off the stage with graceful steps. As she walked off the stage, countless men followed her with burning eyes. After a while, a middle-aged man came on stage. When he came on stage, the atmosphere suddenly changed, with a more solemn and murderous atmosphere.
The middle-aged man clapped his hands, and the next item was brought up. It turned out to be the girl who had just stepped off the stage. Everyone in the audience was shocked, even Mu Qin was stunned, but Li Changxiao had expected it.
The girl had not expected this. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. Her body was pressed into the iron cage and she could not move. She was eloquent but her words were unclear. Someone in the audience laughed and said, "That's right. I thought Wanjin Auction House had changed its nature."
Another person added, "After all this time, what we just did was just the demonstration phase. Now it's officially starting."
Hearing what was said in the audience, the woman cried even harder, but was eventually bought for about a hundred taels of silver. Soon, more items were brought up one by one.
Most of the items sold were shady things, ranging from antiques to the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and treasures from heaven and earth. Human trafficking was common. For example, the opening girl was just an appetizer, the first but definitely not the last. After her, several more people were tied up, ironed, and put on the stage to be sold.
And they all have remarkable backgrounds, some are long-established knights of the martial arts world, some are princesses of a fallen country, and so on.
As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be bought and sold. No wonder these people try every possible means to escape to the deep sea. What they do is indeed shameful.
Just when the excitement was in full swing, there was a loud roar, and then the ship shook, lost its balance, and tilted to the right. The people in the auction house were in chaos and scattered like ants.
Looking out the window, he saw eight or nine black iron ships approaching, each with a cannon. Mu Qin said, "It's the Tianji Cannon." The fire robe was narrow in front and wide in the back. It was driven by the warrior's strength and had amazing power, which could penetrate metal and stone. While he was watching, he saw the Tianji Cannon activated, and a glazed cannon attacked. Judging from the trajectory, it seemed to be right next to him. Li Changxiao was very interested, and he didn't dodge or evade, but wanted to see how powerful it was.
When it hit the hull, it almost destroyed it with one blow, and the wooden boards were smashed into pieces. The power was like a Jindan expert gathering his strength and punching out with all his might. The power was quite powerful. Although it did not hit Li Changxiao head-on, the remaining waves were like a violent hurricane, enough to blow both of them into the sea.
With a splash, Li Changxiao fell into the sea, and saw Mu Qin also flying down with him, and then sinking to the bottom of the sea with a splash.
Li Changxiao reached into the sea and saw Mu Qin sinking into the sea little by little like a vertical wooden pole, neither swimming nor struggling. He quickly dived down, grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her up with force, floating to the surface.
"Why don't you hide?" Li Changxiao asked. Mu Qin didn't answer, but looked at him, her eyes were asking, why don't you hide? In the previous scene, she saw that Li Changxiao clearly saw the shells flying, but he didn't move, didn't dodge or evade, thinking that he was going to use some skills to push the shells away or deflect them. She was curious and planned to observe closely.
But this guy didn't react at all. In the end, the shell hit him and blew him away. He was caught off guard and ended up being soaked.
Li Changxiao was speechless for a moment. He had not expected such a strong force. He was caught off guard and flew out with the aftermath. He floated on the sea, the sea was surging, wood chips were scattered around him, and he was looking at the ship worth ten thousand gold, half of which had already fallen into the sea.
There were several roars, and eight or nine black iron ships in the distance activated their cannons and flew towards the Wanjin ship. This wave of attack was likely to smash the ship into pieces.
Seeing people fleeing everywhere on the ship, they fell into the sea like dumplings. Li Changxiao pinched his chin and thought, this ship has countless supplies, it is normal to encounter pirates, but now the power has developed to this extent, such a huge treasure ship was turned into powder in an instant.
Just considering this killing power...it cannot be underestimated.
