Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Brother, why does this ship have to wait until the eighth day of next month? The pier is so big and there are so many ships. Is this the only one going to Weihu City?" Lin Yi asked in shock.

"Hey, you two are new here, right? We are in the Zhenduan Sea Area, and Weihu City is in the Weihu Sea Area. Not only is it a long distance from here to Weihu City, but the key is that the forces in the two sea areas often fight, causing chaos. If you don't take care of things up and down, you won't be able to get through it at all!" The boy explained to the two of them: "So ordinary passenger ships can't do this business at all. There are only two or three experienced old ships on this line in the entire terminal. It takes a month for the ship to come and go, so don’t you have to wait for a while..."

"Even if there are only two or three ships, and each round trip takes a month, then we don't need to wait for a whole month, right? Little brother, did you say that the ship that left on the eighth day of next month is the one that just left?" Lin Yi frowned.

"Yes, in fact, in addition to the one we just left, there is another larger one that set sail half a month ago. It should be docked in Weihu City now and will return here in half a month. But this one The boat's quota has been booked in advance, so you two can only wait a little longer." The guy shook his head and then suggested: "If you are sure to leave on the eighth day of next month, I will make a reservation for you two first. Two seats? But you need to pay a deposit of ten pieces of spiritual jade first."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Yi thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the only thing he could do at the moment, so he immediately gave the clerk ten pieces of spiritual jade. No matter what happened, it would be good to reserve two seats first. Anyway, Even if you don't take this boat, you don't mind wasting ten pieces of spiritual jade.

"Okay, it's the eighth day of next month. You two are welcome to come early." After collecting the spirit jade, the waiter immediately ran to the wooden house that looked like a toll station and gave two tickets to Lin Yi and the other two.

After collecting the ticket, Lin Yi turned to Huang Xiaotao and said, "I'll make peace with it now that I've come. Anyway, we have no other choice now, so let's take a look here first."

"Okay, the previous information from the Law Enforcement Hall said that Wu Baoliang appeared in the Weihu sea area. The information may not be accurate and timely. Moreover, he may not always stay in the Weihu sea area. He may have escaped to the nearby sea area." Huang Xiaotao comforted.

"Well, that's right. Let's try our luck here first." Lin Yi nodded.

In fact, when he thought about it, staying here temporarily without being able to go back was not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Cheng Qitian was still watching over Weihu City, and now he just happened to be out of sight to avoid this threat.

"Actually, I find it very strange. Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan both lost their escorts and left us two behind. They rushed back in such a hurry. Isn't this just a rush to scold me? I don't know. What are they thinking..." Huang Xiaotao suddenly couldn't help mumbling.

"They probably have other plans. When they go back, they will put the responsibility on the two of us. By the time we go back, the matter will have been settled." Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly.

Based on the disdainful attitude of the two people towards him and Huang Xiaotao's flirtation, it is not difficult to speculate about this kind of thing. However, Lin Yi's agreement to be an escort was an accident. He didn't care about this and was too lazy to care about what these people would do. No more sewage.

"If that's the case, they must be too dirty. The situation was basically caused by their surrender. Otherwise, the escort might not have been thrown away." Huang Xiaotao said angrily.

"People's hearts are separated from each other, who knows." Lin Yi shook his head and said: "Actually, I think another thing is strange. The four peak masters of the late Jindan stage clearly seemed premeditated and prepared. But in the vast sea fog, they don’t know that we are taking the escort route, how is it possible? Unless..."

"Unless what?" Huang Xiaotao asked, blinking.

"Unless there is something else inside." Lin Yi was just a bold guess. There was no substantive evidence so far, so he did not go into details and said instead: "Forget it, I have to stay here for a month. , let’s find an inn to stay first.”

"Okay." Huang Xiaotao nodded, suddenly feeling a little heavier, but Lin Yi took off his own coat and put it on himself, and his heart suddenly felt warm.

The reason why Lin Yi did this was actually because he had learned from his previous experience. Although Huang Xiaotao was covered with a veil and others couldn't see her appearance clearly, her exquisite figure could not be covered and it still easily attracted attention.

If you meet someone like Cheng Qitian again, you might be in trouble again, but now that your coat is on you, your figure is also covered, so no one will pay attention anymore.

The two people immediately came out of the pier and walked towards the town not far from the pier. Like Weihu City, this place is also the center of the Zhenduan Sea Area and has the same name, Zhenduan City.

According to rumors, the Zhenduan sea area is far more chaotic than the Weihu sea area, but it can be felt from the situation at the dock just now that there are far more people here than in Weihu city.

This situation became even more obvious after the two entered Zhenduan City. The streets were bustling with people, and it was a bustling and lively scene. This long-lost feeling even reminded Lin Yi of the secular world. .

Only in the commercial streets of large cities in the secular world, and during holiday sales, can you see such a crowded situation. As for other places on Tianjie Island, even Nakajimabo City is not so crowded.

Lin Yi was secretly frightened. While pulling Huang Xiaotao, he squeezed into the crowd and drifted with the crowd. However, after walking for half an hour, he was shocked to find that not to mention the boat to Weihu City was not easy to find, it was not even easy to find a home. An inn is also a luxury.

I have already walked around three streets and passed seven or eight inns, but every one of them clearly had a sign saying it was fully occupied.

"What's going on in this place?" Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other with puzzled faces. Even if it was their first time in Zhenduan City, they could clearly feel that there was something strange about this place.

Just when the two of them were wondering, they came to a square with the flow of people, and heard the shouts of many people, one after another. Although they were full of energy, they couldn't handle the huge flow of people, and they were soon noisy again. The sound was drowned out.

However, with Lin Yi's ear, as long as he is careful and gets a little closer, he can clearly hear what these people are shouting.

"Lu Feng Forest Expedition, the team has been formed! There are only two more to go, and we are about to set off. Practitioners above the Golden Core stage must not miss it!" This was the shout closest to Lin Yi and the other two, penetrating It is very powerful and can be heard clearly even in a crowd.
