Chapter 221 The boat capsized
After listening to the conversation between the few people, Huo Qingchen finally understood why they were not worried about the little tail behind them.
Now he was no longer worried about the little tail behind him, but he was very worried about the wind and rain belt in front of him.
Although he had not experienced it personally, he knew that if it rained heavily at sea, the waves would become bigger.
When the waves get bigger, the boat can easily capsize.
Will nothing happen to them?
Huo Qingchen did not express his worries, but his face was tense.
One look at his expression and you can tell how nervous he is.
Yu Youning patted his shoulder gently, "Don't worry, this is our way home, and nothing will happen to you."
Huo Qingchen, "..."
Huo Qingchen nodded heavily, but there was no sign of relaxation on his face, even his brows were still tightly furrowed.
Seeing him like this, Yu Youning did not comfort him any more.
No matter how much you say now, it will be useless.
After he has passed it safely, Huo Qingchen will be able to relax next time.
No matter how worried Huo Qingchen was, the ship continued to move forward at the original speed and trajectory.
There were also quite a few people on the boat following behind them from a distance.
These people are gathered together to discuss what to do next.
They had two purposes for following this time.
The first is to find the location of Penglai Island.
The second is to kill as many people as possible on the boat in front.
Kill as many as you can.
Even if there is only one, as long as they cut off the head and bring it back, plus the specific location of Penglai Island, their mission this time will be accomplished.
When you go back, you don’t have to worry about being punished.
These two tasks don't seem difficult.
But only when you actually put it into practice do you realize how difficult it is.
If we talk about assassination, now is the best opportunity.
On the sea, there were only a few of Yu Youning's group, but on their side, there were many people.
If we act at this time, even if we cannot take down all the opponents, we should be able to take down a few if we try our best.
But if that's the case, then forget about following them to find the location of Penglai Island.
But if we don't take action now, the situation will immediately reverse when we arrive at Penglai Island.
By then, we will be outnumbered and what chance do they have of winning?
"Chief, what should we do?"
"Yeah! We should come up with a plan quickly! It's no use dragging it on like this!"
"Once we get to Penglai Island, we won't have a choice!"
The man known as the leader cursed inwardly.
Why was such a difficult decision left to him alone?
Is it because he’s some kind of shitty leader?
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to be a leader!
The man cursed in his heart, but he also knew that there was no time to waste. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only grit his teeth and make a decision, "Keep following!"
"We must find the location of Penglai Island, otherwise none of us will be able to land when we return."
"Once you see the location of Penglai Island, take action immediately and don't give them the opportunity to get close to Penglai Island."
"Even if the people on Penglai Island find out, as long as we quickly resolve the battle and immediately turn around and leave, they will just be left staring blankly."
"Even if we assume there's really no way to kill any of them, that's fine. As long as we know the location of Penglai Island, we'll be done. At most, we won't receive any reward, but we shouldn't receive any punishment either."
"After all, we can always find another opportunity to kill him later, but if we want to know the exact location of Penglai Island, this is our only chance."
Everyone listened to his words and nodded in their hearts, thinking that what he said made a lot of sense.
At the same time, I also feel fortunate.
Fortunately, no need to do anything!
There is no danger in following from a distance.
If you really go forward to assassinate him, you might lose your life!
After all, they all knew the result of the previous assassination attempt by Nanzhao.
That means the entire army is wiped out!
Although they thought they were much more powerful than those who had gone to Nanzhao to assassinate before, the more powerful a person was, the more they valued their life.
Who would want to die when they can live a good life?
"The leader is right!"
"The chief is absolutely right!"
"We all listen to the leader! We will do whatever the leader tells us to do!"
Just as they were talking, someone suddenly said in surprise, "Chief, look, there seems to be something up ahead!"
When everyone heard this, they no longer cared about flattery and all looked forward.
The distance was quite far and they couldn't see clearly.
I don’t know exactly what the situation is.
Just from the color point of view, the front is too dark!
Compared with the clear sky here, the sky over there seems to be covered with dark clouds.
etc!
Dark clouds?
The leader was surprised, "Could it be that it's raining over there?"
"rain?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"
In the past twenty years, he had never seen a situation where the sky was clear on his side but there were dark clouds and heavy rain not far ahead.
This was completely beyond his understanding.
The leader glanced at him calmly, "Impossible, how can it be impossible? The situation at sea changes rapidly, anything can happen, nothing is impossible!"
"What should we do then?"
"What should we do? The ship ahead is still moving forward, so of course we should keep following it! Penglai Island is their home, and they must know the situation better than we do. They haven't stopped or changed direction, which means there's no danger ahead, so we should keep following. If we turn back now, without completing any mission, the end result will still be death. Not only will we die, but our families will die with us. Think about it for yourself!"
Those who were a little hesitant just now, all their hesitation disappeared after hearing the leader's words.
yes!
They are on a mission, not out for fun!
Even if you sense that there may be danger ahead, you won't try to stop or turn around.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the leader said, "For safety's sake, speed up and follow closely, so that you don't lose sight of them in the wind and rain and get lost again."
Someone immediately passed on his instructions.
After a while, the speed of the boat increased, and as it got closer and closer to the big ship in front, it also got closer and closer to the place where it was raining.
We hadn't reached the place where it was raining yet, but the sea breeze was getting stronger and the waves were getting bigger.
The strong wind brought cold raindrops that hit their faces, making them look even more nervous.
The situation...seems a little bad!
The wind and waves are bigger than they imagined!
But it's already this time, even if I want to turn around, it's too late.
Not to mention, there was no way they could turn around.
The others actually understood this as well. Although their hearts were in their throats, they could only watch the boat sail into the heavy rain.
Before, they thought the ship was very big and very safe at sea.
But when the entire ship was swaying with the waves, this ship that looked very large in their garden seemed as fragile as a leaf at this moment.
Whenever a wave hits, the boat shakes violently, as if it will be overturned at any moment.
"Chief! What should we do next?"
"Captain, the ship is out of control!"
"Chief, the boat ahead is gone!"
Before the leader could say anything, another huge wave hit the boat, instantly breaking the hull and starting to take in water!
The water is entering very quickly!
As the water in the cabin increased and the boat continued to sink, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.
At this moment, they all knew very well in their hearts that they were finished!
...
A quarter of an hour later, Yu Youning and his crew's boat finally sailed out of the storm belt.
The sea surface gradually calmed down and the boat no longer shook violently.
Huo Qingchen was sitting on the ground, hugging a pillar, his face extremely pale.
Even though the boat had stabilized, he still felt that everything in front of him was shaking violently.
The world is spinning, that's probably what it feels like.
Yu Youning walked over, slowly squatted down, and spread out his palms.
In her palm, a green pill lay quietly, emitting the fragrance of mint.
Smelling this scent, Huo Qingchen felt refreshed.
"What's this?"
After saying just a few words, Huo Qingchen felt his stomach churning and he almost vomited.
"It's refreshing and will make you feel better. Eat it quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingchen immediately picked up the pill and put it in his mouth without saying a word.
The pill melts in your mouth.
After it melted in his mouth, Huo Qingchen felt his mind instantly become clear.
Even the feeling of nausea disappeared, and I gradually gained some strength.
"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How is he?" Huo Qingchen asked hurriedly.
Yu Youning looked at Huo Qingchen with amusement, "Don't worry about that. Ah Xu's situation is much better than yours!"
Huo Qingchen looked towards Chu Huaixu and saw that Chu Huaixu was sitting at the table with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Huo Qingchen was not embarrassed, but relieved instead.
It’s okay!
Nothing happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
As for the embarrassment he just suffered?
We are all acquaintances anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I embarrass myself in front of them!
It was already past noon, so they could only eat a simple meal and wait until they arrived at Penglai Island in the evening to have a proper meal.
After lunch, Yu Youning found a few fishing rods and wanted to take them to the stern of the boat to fish.
Chu Huaishan originally had no intention of going out to enjoy the sea breeze, but when he heard that they were going fishing, he immediately became interested.
"Come on, old man, let me go with you! Let's catch a few more fish so we can eat together in the evening!"
Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan looked at each other helplessly, but still followed them.
