Chapter 2999 We Are Here
Seeing his serious look, Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'm very busy. In my opinion, only people who are valuable will make me take the trouble to remember their names."
Hearing her words, Lu Linchuan's expression changed.
He seemed to want to be angry, but he didn't know where the anger came from. He just glared at Nan Yan fiercely.
Nan Yan, facing this young man who was actually not much younger than herself, acted as if she was teasing a child. She was so angry that Lu Linchuan glared at her without even saying a word, and she just turned her head and looked at the islands on both sides.
This time, it was closer.
She then noticed that the grain ships that had just disappeared in the mist were all heading for Langya Island. She remembered that Zhu Feng had sent people to investigate and found that people and goods from Xingluo Lake had to pass Langya Island before heading in.
However, their ship passed directly through the islands on both sides and continued to go deeper.
It seems that we are about to enter Tiangang Lianhuanwu.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took a deep breath. Tingfu also took the opportunity to walk to the bow of the boat, supported her and said softly, "Madam, do you want to go back and sit down? It's too foggy outside."
Lu Linchuan sneered and said, "Are you scared?"
Nan Yan ignored him this time and walked slowly back to the cabin with the help of Tingfu, watching the fog outside wrap around the doorposts and window frames. Soon, their ship passed Langya Island and headed deeper. There were various reefs and islands scattered here. If you were not familiar with the terrain, you would accidentally bump into them. No wonder it was called Xingluo Lake.
And Lu Linchuan was obviously very familiar with the terrain here.
Nan Yan discovered that he didn't even need to look at the surrounding lake surface, he just paddled the boat and sailed freely in this area of water. Several times, Nan Yan saw that their boat was about to hit the reef, but he pushed the boat away with a calm hand. And sometimes, the water ahead was obviously calm, but he avoided it for no reason. When the boat passed by, Nan Yan saw that there were some reefs under the water that had not yet emerged.
This person is like a living map.
She looked at Lu Linchuan a few more times.
As they walked further in, the sky began to darken. Nan Yan vaguely estimated that it was already past the hour of Xu.
The surroundings were very quiet, with mist rising from the water. The mountains and valleys on both sides of the river could no longer be seen, and it was difficult to see the floating fish and shrimps underwater. It seemed as if their small boat was the only thing left in the world.
Nan Yan couldn't help but hold her breath.
In this way, after walking for another half an hour, it was already completely dark.
Sometimes, silence can relax the body and mind, but sometimes, silence also means the danger of being lost. Nan Yan had always been very vigilant, but after sailing like this for so long, she finally asked, "How long will it take to arrive?"
As if he had finally found an opportunity, Lu Linchuan immediately smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
Nan Yan had long seen through this young man. Although he pretended to be cold on the surface, he was actually a competitive child at heart. The more she argued with him, the more excited he became. So she didn't bother to pay attention to him. She just walked to the edge of the boat and looked down at the gurgling lake water passing by the hull.
Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from under the boat with a whoosh.
"ah!"
Nan Yan was caught off guard and let out a low cry of fright.
Then, several more figures jumped out from under the boat. Nan Yan was so frightened that she took two steps back. Tingfu hurried forward and said, "Madam, be careful!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lu Linchuan on the bow burst into laughter.
Hearing his laugh, Nan Yan frowned and turned around, only to see several hands wearing fish-skin gloves grabbing the edge of the boat, holding onto several parts of the hull. Then, several people emerged from the water.
They were a few men in black, all wet.
As soon as she saw them, Nan Yan immediately recalled the first time she followed Zhu Feng to Xingluo Lake. When the shipwreck occurred, they also encountered a group of men in black on the lake. These people were proficient in water and extremely cunning. If it weren't for the appearance of Master Shangshan from Huangling Temple, they would have almost all died in Xingluo Lake.
Lu Linchuan was rowing the boat while saying, "Fourth brother, how did you get here?"
One of the men in black wiped the water off his face and said, "The Great Elder asked us to come over and take a look."
As he spoke, the man turned around and glanced at Nan Yan on the boat.
At this time, Nan Yan also calmed herself down and glanced at them coldly. The "fourth brother" said, "Is this the one that Lu Taining reported back earlier, that was going to Lianhuanwu - Madam Huang?"
"Yes, it's her."
Several men in black squinted their eyes and looked at Nan Yan for a while.
Nan Yan was not afraid and just let them look at her.
To be honest, their fight happened several years ago, and it was the middle of the night at that time. There was no light at all on the entire Xingluo Lake. These people might not have seen her clearly, let alone remembered her.
It doesn't matter if you remember her.
Her main target this time was not the mob of people in Tiangang Lianhuanwu, but the mysterious man who had caused them trouble several times before. He knew her inside and out.
Several people only looked at her for a moment, and it seemed that they really didn't recognize her. The "fourth brother" said to Lu Linchuan: "Let's go, we will lead the way."
After saying that, he dived into the water.
Several other people followed him into the water and turned into several black shadows in the night, shuttling back and forth in the water ahead, and soon disappeared.
Nan Yan took a deep breath and heard Tingfu beside her holding his breath nervously.
Tingfu had seen some of the world, but Tiangang Lianhuanwu was different from the places he had been to before. The imperial court had never arrived here before, and to them, everything here was unknown.
Looking at the night sky, a little cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Nan Yan said softly, "Don't be afraid."
When Tingfu heard this, he immediately whispered, "Madam, I am just worried about you. I will do my best to protect you when the time comes."
Nan Yan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't be so nervous. Remember what the master told you before we set out. When you get there soon, no matter what you see or hear, just listen to me."
"yes."
Tingfu nodded and suddenly pointed ahead: "Madam, look!"
Nan Yan quickly turned her head and looked forward in the direction of his finger, only to see some faint flames appearing in the dark night and the misty fog.
There were people holding lanterns and torches, standing on something and watching them.
When we got closer, we realized that they were three huge ships.
Behind the big ship was a pitch-black island that looked like a giant beast crawling on the lake. Those ships were the piers to the island.
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
"We're here."
