Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2542 Stowaway Fishing Boat

Half of the painted marks on that fishing boat fell below the waterline, but the shape and color of the fish made Liu Ya feel familiar, so she wanted Cang Qianche to confirm it for herself.

Cang Qianche focused his eyes on the past, then nodded, and said, "Yes. It's very similar to the fish painted on the pirate flag you found."

They look alike from a distance, but are they the same up close?
What's more, Liu Ya's restored flag was only able to see a vague fish shape, maybe what was painted on the side of the boat was the real shape of that fish.

Liu Ya frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Che, you said those two ships are on the side of Nanyuan Country, could they be smuggling ships?"

The Yunqiong Kingdom and the Nanyuan Kingdom have always had maritime trade, and it happened to be the Helian family who handled it.

Before Liu Ya and the others noticed Yudao, Yudao was nothing more than a solidified and closed island in everyone's impression. It was never heard that Yudao sent any goods to Nanyuan country alone.

But now it seems that the Helian family has always monopolized the maritime business, and maritime trade is a big business that makes money. It is hard to guarantee that no one will have any thoughts.

Cang Qianche nodded and said: "It's nothing to trade some things in private. The Helian family may have known about it long ago, but they just turned a blind eye. But what I'm worried about is that the goods on their ship are not so glorious. "

Liu Ya followed Cang Qianche's train of thought, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, she couldn't help but wondered: "Could it be smuggling? Or... kidnapping!"

"I'm most afraid of this." Cang Qianche sighed, and said: "There is no way to guess now. We must either go down to find out, or let Brother Yu's boat pass by and intercept him directly. Everything will come to light naturally. "

But if Big Brother Yu is asked to come forward directly, it will be tantamount to joining the pirates, which is even more inappropriate.

After discussing for a while, Liu Ya and Cang Qianche decided to sneak over to have a look now.If the other party is really committing crimes, let Helian Tianqi come forward directly.

The two walked down the mountain, and it was convenient to hide their whereabouts in the woods, but the distance from the woods to the shore was more dangerous.

Liu Ya and Cang Qianche went to the edge of the forest to check, and found that the people on the fishing boat were not very alert, only three or five people who looked like boatmen were doing daily inspections.

Liu Ya frowned and said, "This situation is wrong."

Cang Qianche also nodded, and said: "Although our two ships are not approaching from this sea area, the movement on Yudao Island is not ordinary. Even if they don't want to meddle in their own business here, there is no reason for them to be so leisurely." .”

"Go, go over and have a look." Liu Ya simply stopped hiding and rushed forward directly pulling Cang Qianche.

Seeing Cang Qianche and Liu Ya flying over, several people on the boat were stunned for a moment and stopped what they were doing.

Only one person ran over and lay down on the side of the boat, and asked, "Who is here?"

"The patriarch of the fish clan asked us to deliver the goods." Liu Ya replied casually, and she and Cang Qianche had already arrived at the pier.

"What goods?" The man was puzzled, because Liu Ya and Cang Qianche were both empty-handed, how could they look like they had goods?
"We are the goods." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she had already winked at Cang Qianche.

Cang Qianche smiled slightly, stopped and grabbed Liu Ya's waist, and then supported her with both hands.

Liu Ya jumped up lightly with the help of this support, and directly jumped onto the deck of the ship.Then, Cang Qianche jumped up directly.

"you……"

"We are the goods." Liu Ya walked over with a smile, and said, "The old lady of the head of the fish tribe said that she wanted to ship the two of us, so we came here by ourselves."

"Come here." The man came back to his senses, and while yelling for someone to come, he stepped back.

The few silver needles in Liu Ya's hand were shot out, and the boatmen froze in place.

"Quick, let's search as soon as possible to see if there are any clues." Liu Ya pulled Cang Qianche and ran into the cabin, and when they got down to the first floor, two people came up to meet them.

This time it was Cang Qianche who made the move, restrained the acupuncture points of the two people, and pushed them directly to the ground.

Going further in, I found that there was no one else on the entire ship.Neither the wheelhouse nor the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship was empty of people or cargo.

"No, if it's a fishing boat, there should be a tank for storing fresh fish. If it's for hauling cargo, the bilge shouldn't be so clean." Liu Ya frowned, obviously feeling something was wrong but couldn't remember it for a while.

Cang Qianche raised his nose and sniffed, then said: "The smell is wrong here, it stinks."

After hearing what Cang Qianche said, Liu Ya also sniffed vigorously, and sure enough, she found that the cabin was very smelly.

And it's not the smell of rotting fish and shrimp, nor the smell of years of seawater deposits, but the smell of human defecation.

It smelled like a field toilet that hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and what remained in the air was the stench of ammonia.

"Someone really lives here." Liu Ya was surprised by this discovery. It seems that the Yu clan is really doing something against the law, helping Nanyuan country to traffic and smuggle people.

But where do their "sources" come from?A passing merchant ship nearby, or somewhere else?And now, where did the people on board go?
"There's something wrong with that big ship." Liu Ya suddenly realized, "Could a ship that big be an ocean-going warship?"

"Hurry up, go back and tell Brother Yu and Tianqi the news." Cang Qianche pulled Liu Ya and ran out.But as soon as they ran to the deck, they heard several "rumbling" sounds.

The boat under their feet shook for a while, and then they saw a thick black smoke rising from the other side of the mountain.

"The cannon is the cannon on Brother Yu's boat." Liu Ya was surprised.

"More than that." Cang Qianche narrowed his eyes, recalling the sound he heard just now, and said, "It wasn't the sound of one or two cannons, at least there were more than five cannons."

Speaking of this, Cang Qianche looked back at the big ship that was still parked in the distance, and said, "Could it be, that ship was transporting artillery?"

Liu Ya anxiously said: "What should we do now? Brother Yu and the others must have been attacked."

"No, their boat is still here, and the artillery is hidden in the Yu clan." After analyzing Cang Qianche, he said, "It may be too late for us to go back now. We can only go by water."

If they go back the same way, they will have to climb over the mountain.But neither Liu Ya's boat nor Brother Yu's boat could stop at the shore, so Liu Ya and the others needed to go back by boat.

If the fight has really started, who will row a boat to pick them up?
Thinking of this, Cang Qianche said decisively: "Get those boatmen down and let them sail."

Liu Ya also understood when she heard it, that Cang Qianche planned to drive the boat and go back directly by water.
