Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 206
There was no navigator, and Xu Qi changed the course randomly without recording. For a while, Xu Qing's ship lost its direction like a headless chicken.

According to Xu Qing's intention, he walked southward and approached the Shandong Peninsula, but after walking for a long time, it was dark and the shore was still missing.

Headlong into the night.

That mirage also made Xu Qing dizzy. Everyone knows that the mirage is either an illusion, or it is caused by the bending and refraction of the sea.So many people saw it together, and it is impossible to have hallucinogenic poison, so it must not be a hallucination, but what about refraction?It can only reflect what exists in front of it.But they were sailing eastward before, and there were devils in front of them except sticks. At this time, they were only in the era of thatched cottages, and it was impossible to have such a prosperous scene.

Did it go wrong?
"Brother Xu, what's the matter?" Huang Shimei was lying in Xu Qing's arms, but found that Xu Qing was not sexy today, so she couldn't help being puzzled.

"Shimei, we're lost..." Xu Qing rested his head on Huang Shimei's.

"It's okay, we didn't go very far," Huang Shimei said, "It's a big deal, I will go south for one day tomorrow, and I won't be able to get to the shore. I will go east for another hundred days."

Xu Qing smiled, he was indeed right, it was impossible for him to get out of the Yellow Sea in such a short time, and he hadn't seen the coast for so long, maybe it was because of the low visibility?
Anchor, overnight.

What Xu Qing said was that he had just laid down and planned to sleep peacefully, when his hands reached the third base, he heard the sound of the ship's plank, bang, bang, bang, as if something was beating on the deck.

Who goes crazy if he doesn't sleep at night?Xu Qing opened the window and shouted outside.

I saw a few night watchmen on the deck holding torches and looking down the ship. Hearing Xu Qing's scolding, one of them turned around and said, "My lord, it's not us who made the noise, it's something in the sea!"

Someone on the other side shouted: "My lord, it seems that the sharks in the daytime are back!"

"Mackerel! There's more than one!" Another person shouted, holding a torch to shine on the sea surface. Suddenly, Xu Qing saw a three-to-four-meter-long white shark rushing out of the sea by the light of the torch. , nimbly grabbed the boat, and brought the man with the torch down.For a split second, the man didn't even have time to scream. If it wasn't for the torch accidentally left on the boat, and the sound of the huge fish's tail fin slapping the water, Xu Qing wouldn't have thought that there was someone there.

Stabilizing his jaw that was about to fall from shock, Xu Qing shouted tremblingly, "Come back quickly, don't get close to the side of the boat!"

Xu Qing turned around and said to Huang Shimei: "Shimei, something happened, take Xue'er and the others to the top!"

Huang Shimei is a courageous woman, she put on her clothes and went out without saying a word.Xu Qing went out faster and called Zhang Linye and Yang Cheng up.

"What's wrong? Is there a thief?"

"It's much more powerful than a thief..." Xu Qing replied: "Sharks surround the boat!"

"shark?"

"It's a shark!"

"Mackerel, the one you saw during the day?" Zhang Linye and Yang Cheng asked as they walked, and walked to the deck: "That guy is about the size of a cow! How many are there?"

"I don't know yet. Listening to the sound, there must be dozens of them!"

"I'll go and have a look!" Yang Cheng took the torch from the door and was about to go to the side of the boat to check, Xu Qing hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't go to the side of the boat, just got one!"

"Hold it down?!" The two shouted in unison: "Could it be that this fish can still fly?"

"It's impossible to fly, but you can still jump at this height!" Xu Qing looked at the side of the boat worriedly: "Just now I watched one go down with my own eyes!"

"Then..." Zhang Linye tried to say, "Why don't you just wait on the boat and wait for them to disperse on their own?"

"No, those things seem to be crashing into the boat," Yang Cheng retorted, "It's just that the boat is made of double-layer hardwood and iron, so hard that it might break their heads! It's just..."

Xu Qing smiled bitterly: "Even if the boat is strong, they can't disperse by themselves..."

Zhang Linye asked: "Why?"

"Just now they ate the sweetness and smelled the blood. I'm afraid they won't leave for three or four days," Xu Qing said with a sigh, "but the fresh water on the boat is only enough for us for more than a day."

The two sighed at the same time. At this time, a white shark rushed out of the sea beside the boat, showing its head in the eyes of everyone, and stretched its belly.This white shark was bigger than the one Xu Qing saw before, which really made Xu Qing's heart tremble three times.

Zhang Linye and Yang Cheng were also so frightened that they could only swallow their saliva. Both of them had killed the enemy before, but they were still a little scared when they encountered this "unreasonable" beast.

Xu Qing had some clues at this time, and ordered to lift up the anchor.

The deck of the ship was only more than three meters away from the sea surface. After the anchor was lowered, it dropped to less than three meters. Raising the anchor can at least raise the height of the ship, which is better than nothing.Zhang Linye took the order and left.

Raise the sails, and put the rudder in the direction of the sea.

Going into the sea, won't you provoke more sharks?
More sharks would be better, this group of sharks... the sharks are so hungry, they might fight if they see more of their own kind.

Yang Cheng took the order to hoist the sail, Zhang Linye came back and said that the anchor had been raised by the bosun.Xu Qing said again, choose people with good eyesight to come out, and bring the two bed crossbows on the boat.

When Xu Qing set out, besides eating and playing, he also brought defensive devices.These two bed crossbows are not the ones Duan Hongchen imitated, they are serious Tang army crossbows.

After a while, the sail went up, but there was no wind, and the canvas couldn't stand up.When Yang Cheng came over, Xu Qing asked him to organize some people under the boat to be ready to repair at any time, so as to prevent the shark from hitting the boat with its iron head.

The whole boat started to move, and Xu Qing "pointed the finger", making Zhang Linye and Yang Cheng busy here and there, while he himself turned his head to think about the countermeasures.

During this time, the sharks became irritable for some reason and jumped to the surface one by one.What happened underwater?Xu Qing didn't dare to take a look.

After a while, more than 20 people with excellent eyesight stood in front of Xu Qing, and he ordered ten people to move the two bed crossbows to the highest place, ready to shoot at any time.The other ten people climbed on the mast and observed the sea surface from an oblique angle. First, they should find out the enemy situation around them and see the number of sharks. , also let those sharks know that the prey on the boat is spiny!

"One, two,..., seven,..., thirteen..." Every time the people on the mast counted a word, Xu Qing's heart sank, even if the number of people above was repeated, there were hundreds of repetitions Shark!

A shark is like a car. Even if a shark hits it, the boat may not survive.Fortunately, sharks will not sacrifice their own heads to bless other people's stomachs, nor will they organize to crash into one place.

What happened next?

My lord, the mackerel didn't hit it, and it was quiet for a long time.

That's good……

Xu Qing rested his chin and thought. The two bed crossbows actually had very little effect. Rather than letting the shark know how powerful it was, it was more about reassuring the people on board.

As long as the shark doesn't destroy the boat, there is no danger for the time being.But the fresh water on the boat was a big problem, and it would take at most two days to save it, and I didn't dare to go to the side of the boat, let alone put the boat down.What to do after two days, depends on the sky... The key is that Xu Qing still doesn't know where he is, and he can't even see the shadow on the shore.

Thoughts seemed to be blocked, Xu Qing paced to the second floor, remembering that Huang Shimei took all the girls up there, he couldn't help laughing at himself, what's the use of running up there with a boat tied together.

I saw the girls on the third floor, and briefly talked about the situation with them. When I saw the bed crossbow was moved up, I helped the handle, and the bed crossbow had to be moved to the top of the third floor.

When he reached the roof, Xu Qing felt his hair flutter.

Huh?It's windy!
The hull shook, turned around, and started to move slowly, heading towards a place that no one knew.

However, this speed can be regarded as moving, slower than manual shaking, and it is even more impossible to shake off the shark.

At this time, the people who were counting sharks outside finally stopped, asked each other, and said a number, there must be one hundred and eighty sharks!This is what can be seen on the surface of the sea, as well as potentially underwater.

Xu Qing shook his head and smiled wryly, wondering if these unfished sharks have bred so large, they can be called a shark group!Regardless of the number, the sharks are still so big.

At this time Xu Qing began to hesitate whether to kill the sharks, what if they were angered?gang fight?I don't know if sharks eat their own kind, how good would it be to injure one and make them eat each other?
God is smiling, guess big or small?

Xu Qing decided to take a gamble, turned around, and got off the deck, organized the guards and members of the dark river to come out, and stood in a circle in the middle of the deck.They all hold strong bows and crossbows, with arrows facing outward, ready to launch at any time, and the breeze is majestic.

The observer on the mast pointed to a direction and said that there were many sharks over there, and one person could go out, and threw a torch into the sea.

Call ~
Moved, but didn't jump, humanity on the mast.

Throw it again!

call!
It moved, there were too many sharks, but it still didn't jump.The light of the torches was too short for them to jump.

Find a paddle, tie it with a rope, and hang it out for a try?It was suggested.

This matter is dangerous, if one does not do it well, even oneself will be dragged down.However, when Xu Qing waved his hand, some warriors also stood up.

Xu Qing tied the two oars together, then tied the torches, and repeatedly told him to throw them away quickly.

The torch was cautiously stretched out to the side of the boat, and the people on the bed and crossbow were all focused on the side of the boat.

"coming!"

The man on the mast yelled.

Xu Qing stared at him, his hand was like iron, the man with the torch threw it forward, then rolled to the side, when it was too late, three or five white sharks jumped out of the water together, raising their bloody mouths.

But to the disappointment of the sharks, there were no delicious meatballs beside the torches, but dozens of crossbow bolts coming towards them, and two bed crossbow bolts as big as oars!

Xu Qing didn't know if the small crossbow arrows could hurt the shark, maybe they couldn't even pierce the shark's skin, but he saw the moment when the two bed crossbow arrows pierced through directly.

puff!There was a heavy thud as the shark fell back into the water.Then, Xu Qing and others heard a noise in the water, as if sharks were vying to bite and injure them.

Sure enough, this group of beasts recognized blood, not humans.

Xu Qing's heart calmed slightly. At this moment, there was a sound of water, and a white shark jumped out of the water again. This time, it didn't jump into the sky, but came towards the deck of the ship.
