Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Chapter 371: Defusing a sneak attack

Zuo Feng stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the neatly moored ships at the pier. He was about to ask Su Yan how they could find a place to dock their ship in such a crowded place, when he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye. A flag was waving rapidly.

Zuo Feng subconsciously looked in the direction of the waving flag, and found a tall and slender tower built on the edge of the pier. This tall tower was only about two feet square, but it was six or seven feet tall. . There is a middle-aged man on top of the tower, and he is waving a dark blue pennant quickly in his hand.

Zuo Feng saw that the flag in the man's hand on the tower sometimes swayed up and down, and sometimes swayed from side to side. The man would look towards the pier below from time to time, but most of the time his eyes were focused on the top of the ship on Zuo Feng's side.

Zuo Feng followed the man's gaze and discovered that among the dense crowd at the pier, there was also a man holding a blue flag in his hand. Then Zuo Feng looked at the top of his ship. There was a young man staring closely at the man on the top of the tower. He also had a flag in his hand, but the flag was light blue.

At the pier, there were three people on the tower and on the top of the boat, as if they were competing with flags. Zuofeng felt both novel and fun. But a moment later, the man on the top of the boat ordered the people below to turn the steering wheel to the southeast and enter Dizi Pier No. 5.

At this point, Zuo Feng finally understood that the three of them were passing messages to each other through the waving of flags. It seems that this kind of mutual communication is quite troublesome, but in fact it is the most practical means of communication on this noisy dock.

After the young man on the top of the boat ordered to turn the helm, several young people with low cultivation levels on the boat began to move. Zuo Feng saw that they were as comfortable walking on the bumpy boat as if they were walking on flat ground, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances. .

"These are not warriors from the Kang family, but sailors who are responsible for the Kang family's water transportation. Although they are not very advanced, they have lived on the water since childhood, and they are accustomed to big winds and waves."

Zuo Feng nodded slightly, and he could already see it without makeup. These people moved quickly, some untied the cables, some adjusted the position of the sails, and some had slowly lowered the huge anchor behind the ship into the water. The ship's speed also slowly slowed down at this time.

"They can communicate through flags during the day, but don't ships need to enter the port at night?"

Zuo Feng watched the big ship slowly sailing into the port and couldn't help but ask casually. Suyan glanced at Zuo Feng in surprise, and then said: "We use lights as signals at night to convey messages to each other. You don't understand such a simple truth."

Zuo Feng nodded, but didn't say much, but secretly muttered in his heart, 'I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, and this is my first time taking a boat. How did I know you have so many rules for taking a boat. ’

It was naturally difficult for Zuo Feng to say these words to his face, so Suya turned her head when Zuo Feng became silent. Some of the questions Zuo Feng asked before were very sharp. Only a child from a family like Su Yan could answer them one by one. Anyone else would have been left speechless immediately, so when Zuo Feng asked When such a simple question came, Su Yan laughed at her instead.

Suyan felt that she had gone too far, coughed a few times, and continued: "This Xinjun pier is divided into three areas, namely heaven, earth, and people. The Tianzihao pier usually only berths imperial ships, or other Large ships from the empire, because Tianzi Pier is the deepest underwater and can accommodate five-masted ships to berth.

And the three-masted ships of a big family like ours are usually moored at the piers of the locality. The docks at Herringbone are small cargo ships and passenger ships, or short-distance transport boats. "

After listening to Su Yan's introduction, Zuo Feng's eyes scanned the dock. Sure enough, as Suyan said, the pier to the north is docked with five-masted ships, while the pier to the south is the longest, and all kinds of small boats and boats are docked. And where they were, there were all kinds of three-masted ships moored, as well as some large ships that obviously looked like cargo ships.

The dock was crowded with people, but most of them were busy loading and unloading goods. It seems that some goods are transferred here, and some goods are completed here.

Zuo Feng looked towards the outside of the pier and found that there were relatively spacious shops, several shops for buying and selling medicinal materials, and a few shops that looked like they were refining weapons. Zuo Feng curiously scanned the various shops, and suddenly saw a huge shop with no plaque on it, but inside there were dozens of big men in the bone refining stage sitting there drinking water and chatting.

When Su Yan saw that Zuo Feng was interested in the shop without a plaque, she smiled and said, "That's not a shop for buying and selling, but a shop that specializes in providing manpower.

Generally, cargo ships carry very few people. After all, if there are more people, a lot of food must be prepared for them. Therefore, many cargo ships simply use seven or eight sailors. When they arrive at Xinjun Wharf, they can hire some people to carry them around. This way, they still save a lot of money. "

During the introduction without makeup, I saw a short, fat middle-aged man walking into the shop without a plaque, and then negotiated with a big man inside. Finally, the middle-aged man took out several silver cakes and handed them over. The big man weighed the silver cakes, turned around and gave some instructions, and then ten strong men followed the short, fat middle-aged man and walked out.

Zuo Feng nodded gently and said, "Needless to say, this must be the way to make money that Xinjun Maoji came up with."

Suyan smiled slightly and replied, "You're smart," and then turned her attention to the dock. Just at this moment, the ship's hull shook, as if it hit something, but there was no huge sound. When Zuo Feng looked down, he found a lot of inflated skin bags at the dock. The big ship just hit these skin bags.

‘You really don’t have to worry about damaging the hull if you stop the ship like this. It’s probably Naoji who came up with it again. ’ Zuo Feng thought to himself, but this time he didn’t ask Su Yan again.

Seeing that the boat had stopped, Su Yan turned around slowly and said casually: "I'm just going to go to the city for a walk, so let me, an old horse who knows the way, lead the way for Mr. Shen and show you this special place." County town."

After saying that, he walked towards the side of the ship first. Zuo Feng didn't say much else, but quickly followed behind Su Yan. A sailor from the Kang family had already put down the gangplank, stepped onto the gangplank without makeup, and stepped off the gangplank in a few steps onto the pier made of huge rocks.

Zuo Feng saw that the springboard was shaking slightly, but Su Yan was walking extremely smoothly. He couldn't help but think that Su Yan's voice was extremely soft when walking. He thought that Su Yan's skills must be more feminine, and she must have some special skills in body and martial arts. Uniqueness.

Thinking like this, Zuo Feng stepped onto the springboard. The moment he stepped on the springboard, Zuo Feng felt his whole body sinking slightly. When he stepped on the springboard with both feet at the same time, he felt his whole body falling suddenly and shaking from side to side. Zuo Feng couldn't help but think of how steadily he walked without makeup before. If he accidentally fell into the water, he would be really embarrassed.

At this time, Su Yan also noticed that Zuo Feng was unsteady on his feet, stretched out her hand to swallow and snickered. When she stepped off the springboard just now, she deliberately stepped on it so that it would not shake. Zuo Feng followed closely and walked onto the springboard, looking embarrassed as she expected.

But just when Su Yan was snickering, he suddenly stared behind Zuo Feng, and the expression on his face changed slightly. She wanted to warn Zuo Feng, but she was too late. The kick that was as fast as a meteor swept towards the back of Zuo Feng's head, taking advantage of the gap where Zuo Feng was standing unsteadily on the springboard.

At this time, Su Yan felt very regretful about why she had to tease Zuo Feng. If this kick was really real, Zuo Feng would be seriously injured even if he was not injured, and his life might even be in danger.

But what surprised Su Yan was that Zuo Feng's body, which was supposed to be bounced up by the springboard, suddenly fell down again. Normally, when Zuo Feng was bounced off the springboard, his head would be sent up to receive the kick, but his sudden fall was beyond the expectations of the person who made the kick.

This kick swept directly over Zuo Feng's head. Zuo Feng seemed to have no idea what was happening, and still walked towards the bottom of the pedal with his body shaking a little.

The man who attacked Zuo Feng used too much force. His kick swept across the whole person and he rushed sideways for several steps. The people around him who almost screamed when they saw this scene were all stopped by this person at this moment. His embarrassment made him laugh uncontrollably.

At this time, Zuo Feng was still walking slowly down the springboard without even turning his head, but his eyes looking down at the springboard flashed with a cold light.

‘You are a ungrateful person. I don’t want to have a head-on conflict with you because I’m not really afraid of you. It's just that my injuries haven't healed yet, and I don't want the third elder to be alert. But you'd better not mess with me, otherwise I will definitely let you know what it's like to be my enemy. ’

Zuo Feng was thinking secretly in his heart, but suddenly he heard Su Yan on the pier under the gangplank and said sternly: "Kang Qi, what on earth do you want to do? Don't you even care about the young master?"

It turned out that the person who had just attacked Zuo Feng was Kang Qi. Zuo Feng staggered off the gangplank, pretending to look at Su Yan with a puzzled face, and then looked at Kang Qi who was looking at him with shame and anger on the boat. The innocent look of "what the hell happened".

Kang Qi's face turned red and white, because he could still feel the slight jeers around him. Although he had a high status in the Kang family, he did not dare to make a big fuss because of his failed sneak attack on Zuo Feng, so he could only bitterly write down those who laughed at him.

After hesitating for a moment, Kang Qi said to Suyan on the dock: "Xiaoyan, don't you understand that I have been in love with you for so long? I am a direct descendant of the Kang family. A boy from the mountains is nothing. As long as If you refuse, the young master will not force you."

Before Kang Qi finished speaking, Su Yan took Zuo Feng's hand and said coldly, "Ignore him, let's go." Zuo Feng was led by Su Yan and left the dock.
