Chapter 3000 Who is in charge?
Their small boat slowly approached the three tall ships, as if approaching a high mountain. The figures on the boat swayed and lowered the escalator.
Tingfu was just about to help Nanyan up the escalator when he heard a few whooshing sounds around him. Several anchors shot out from the water and hooked onto the edge of the big ship. Then, the men in black emerged from the water with a few noises and jumped directly onto the big ship.
What a fast skill, just like a water ghost.
Tingfu became more cautious, supporting Nanyan and whispering, "Madam, take your time."
As Nan Yan walked up, she whispered, "Don't be afraid."
After saying that, he walked up the escalator and boarded one of the large ships.
This ship was very large, even comparable to the dragon boat she had taken when she had been on patrol with Zhu Feng before. However, these three large ships were placed side by side, with nothing on them. There was only a long corridor in the middle, and it looked like they were parked on the shore as a pier for going ashore.
Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: How heroic.
There were quite a few people standing on the boat.
Just like Lu Linchuan, these people were all wearing ordinary linen clothes and short tops, looking very strong, but each of them had a ferocious look on their faces, holding torches in their hands and staring straight at Nan Yan in the dark, as if they wanted to eat her.
Tingfu subconsciously walked forward and stood in front of Nanyan.
At this time, Lu Linchuan also boarded the boat. He glanced around, then looked at Nan Yan, who showed no fear, and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see the elders."
The burly men holding torches in front said, "Xiaochuan, this is not what you should do."
Lu Linchuan said coldly: "I haven't visited the elders for a long time. Can't I just visit the old man?"
The burly men looked at each other without saying anything. They turned around and walked forward with their torches in hand. Lu Linchuan made a gesture to Nan Yan and the others, "Come here."
In fact, now that they have arrived here, it doesn’t make much difference to Nan Yan no matter who leads the way. If there is really any danger, she has already prepared herself mentally.
However, Lu Linchuan was the one who rowed the boat all the way here, so psychologically, they were still quite reassured about him.
His leading the way made Nan Yan and Ting Fu feel more at ease.
Nan Yan looked at his back, smiled gently, and followed him with Tingfu. They walked through the passage formed by the three large ships and reached the edge of the innermost large ship. There was another escalator. They walked down slowly, and what they saw was a wide river beach.
There were many wooden houses and tents built on the river beach, and a dozen bonfires dotted around, with many people sitting around them.
The air is filled with the aroma of barbecue and wine.
When those people saw them getting off the ship, although they did not stand up, their eyes were all focused on them. In the dark night, they stared at them like green wolf eyes.
Nan Yan calmed down at this time and walked calmly.
After crossing the river beach, there was a valley in front, with high peaks on both sides standing tall. In the night, it looked like two door gods standing on the island. Nan Yan vaguely felt that the island was very large. The two sides beyond the peaks extended into the dark night, with no end in sight. Moreover, when she was sailing over just now, she also saw many dark shadows standing in the night nearby. Obviously, there should be many islands around.
Tiangang Lianhuanwu, these islands are probably connected to each other, and they will reinforce each other in case of war.
No wonder, even Emperor Gao couldn’t take over Xingluo Lake.
Nan Yan had been with Zhu Feng for so many years. Even if she had never eaten pork, she was used to seeing pigs running. She had experienced several wars and seen Zhu Feng deploy troops so many times. She had some basic knowledge of military affairs, but from her point of view, Xingluo Lake was indeed difficult to take.
As she walked, she observed her surroundings calmly.
The valley was very quiet. There was a wide stone road underfoot, and plank roads on the mountain walls on both sides. There were at least a dozen people guarding each side. These people held torches and carried bows and arrows. Anyone who approached the island or walked into the valley would be immediately sniped to death by them.
When these people looked down at Nan Yan, it was like a falcon staring at its prey running past its feet.
After walking through this corridor, the view suddenly opens up.
In front of them was a huge valley with countless houses built in it. These were obviously the residences of these pirates. Nan Yan made a rough estimate and found that just looking at this place, there were at least 5,000 people living there.
It is still unknown how many people live in other places on this island, or on other islands.
The sky is getting darker and darker.
Lu Linchuan walked in front, then turned back and said impatiently: "Follow closely, I won't care if you get lost."
Nan Yan smiled and followed.
They walked for a long time and came to a house at the foot of the mountain. It looked like a wealthy family. There were three braziers on each side of the door, and the lights were on inside. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a tall main room with a chair placed directly above it. Three animal heads were nailed to the wooden wall behind it. A whole wolf skin was covered on the chair, but the chair was empty.
There were two chairs on each side of the main seat. Four white-haired old men were sitting there, looking at Lu Linchuan leading Nan Yan and others in with dignity.
Lu Linchuan walked in and bowed to them: "Elders."
The old man in the yellow shirt sitting on the left looked the oldest, with white eyebrows that hung long at the corners of his eyes. He squinted at them and said, "Linchuan, why are you here today? Your adoptive father is calling you for no reason."
Lu Linchuan's face darkened.
He said, "I picked him up from Xiajiang Town, so naturally I have to send him here to complete the process."
“…”
"Now, I've brought the person here. It doesn't matter whether my adoptive father sees me or not."
After saying that, he raised his hand, turned around and walked out. He only stopped for a moment when passing by Nan Yan, glanced at her, snorted coldly, and walked out.
Nan Yan turned around and watched his figure disappear into the night.
Tingfu slowly approached Nanyan.
At this time, someone said, "Are you the Madam Huang that Lu Taining mentioned who wants to make a deal with us?"
Nan Yan turned around and saw that it was the old man in yellow who was talking. Although this was a bandit's den and this group of people were water bandits entrenched in Xingluo Lake, these people did not look like bandits at all. Judging from their age, I'm afraid these people had fought with Emperor Gao in the past.
even--
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.
They might even be acquaintances of Qin Zhengqi and Imperial Concubine Qin Xixi.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "That's right. Who is in charge?"
