Chapter 561: Toothfish School
The officers and men on the ship responded to the orders in twos and threes, and Li Luo sighed, after all, these were not Mu Tianlang's brothers.
Looking at the officers and men on the ship, the solemn and worried look on their brows in the past few days seemed to have faded a lot in an instant. Although Cong Fu behaved vulgarly, it could be seen that he was loved by officers Fu Cong and was not using his power to bully others.
Li Luo was quite depressed. If it was just him, life and death would have been indifferent to him, but now there is an extra Congfu, restraining his hands and only adding to the misfortune.
Li Luo looked up and saw that Cong Fu had already begun to greet the officers and men on the ship with high spirits.
After all, Li Luo was just an outsider. Cong Fu gathered Fu Cong's officers and soldiers in just a few words. If Cong Fu had any missions, these officers and soldiers would be very busy. It was really different from the previous days.
The warship traveled for half a day, the sky was getting dark, and there were several small islands faintly visible on the sea.
Li Luo called Cong Fu, but he didn't sound harsh. Instead, he said kindly: "Le Jin, do you know why I left Fucong secretly?"
Cong Fu looked at Li Luo warily, and saw that Li Luo had no abnormal expression. Then he felt relieved, thought for a while, and said softly: "Someone in the East China Sea wants to kill you."
"Well, they can't do anything at the stargazing party, they can only set an ambush on my way back to Dagan. This is why neither Dao-kun nor I want you to see me off.
If the enemy pursues me, not only me, but Le Jin will also become their target, thereby provoking a dispute between Da Gan and Fucong, and then enjoy the consequences.
Le Jin, you are right to say that my mother-in-law and mother-in-law are right, but you cannot stay on the ship."
Cong Fu glanced at Li Luo and said slowly: "I know, I saw something was wrong with my father's expression that day, but I didn't expect you to say the same thing. I'm happy in my heart. You are much better than the unscrupulous means they said.
In fact, when I went to Dagan to find you, I still hated you. Later, you disregarded your safety and went into the sea to kill dragon fish and colubrids, and from the moment you lay on the back of the fish, I secretly made up my mind to kill you.
Send it back to Dagan.
We Donghai people must abide by the rules and value kindness. If you save me, I must return it to you. You don't need to persuade me. I will never go back no matter what you say.
Even if you tie me up and throw me on the island, the two ships will definitely return to Fucong now that they leave me. They dare not disobey my orders. On the sea of Fucong, my orders are sometimes worse than those of my father.
It works, you should think of something else."
Li Luo shook his head and sighed, and was speechless for a long time. Cong Fu's stubbornness reminded Li Luo of Su Xue in Qiming Tower, who was also like this.
No matter what he said, he still went his own way. Suddenly, the shadow of Congfu in front of him merged with that of Changning on the edge of the ancient road in the Western Regions.
Could it be that what happened back then is going to happen again? Although Li Luo didn't do it deliberately this time, it's basically the same.
Li Luo's thoughts changed. It was God's will to go back to help Cong Fu. Li Luo swept away the worry in his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows to look at Cong Fu. Cong Fu jumped in surprise and shouted quickly: "What are you going to do?"
At this moment, suddenly a Fu Cong soldier hurried over and called out quickly: "Le Jin, it's not good, there are shoals of toothfish."
"What, why are there schools of toothfish in this season?" Congfu's face changed and he shouted sweetly.
There was cold sweat on the forehead of General Fu Cong, and he whispered: "It is indeed too abnormal. Not far behind our boat, the school of fish is getting bigger and bigger. I am afraid there are tens of thousands of them."
"So many." Congfu took a breath and stood up quickly.
He shouted an order, "Let the brothers take the helm, and I'll go take a look." After that, he hurried out.
Li Luo was stunned. He didn't know what kind of sea monster the toothfish was, and it could actually make Cong Fu change his face when he heard it. Just looking at his face, he seemed to be more solemn than when he met the spiny-backed arowana and the colubrid.
After leaving the cabin, the sky was already a little dark, and a hazy mist gradually enveloped the place where the sky and the sea meet.
With the lingering light that had not dissipated, a small wave was rolling on the sea not far from the warship. The wave was not big, the highest one was only about one foot, but it was densely packed, with a radius of dozens of feet.
Occasionally, the tail fins of marine fish can be seen in the rising water. It is indeed a group of swimming fish.
Both Cong Fu and Fu Cong's officers looked solemn, and their breathing slowed down a lot.
Cong Fu whispered an order and ordered the soldiers to turn the helm and avoid the path of the group of toothfish.
The warship deflected slightly and headed to the southwest.
The fish school remained unchanged and moved out of the way of the warship. Congfu just breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could take another breath, he saw the fish that had gone away made a circle and swam back towards the warship.
Cong Fu's expression suddenly changed, and he cursed in a low voice: "What a fucking evil sect."
"Le Jin, what should we do?"
"Lower the sails and stop the warship. Let's see where these toothfish are going." Cong Fu scolded in a low voice.
The soldiers unloaded the sails, and the warship suddenly slowed down, drifting helplessly on the sea.
The school of fish swam over and submerged into the bottom of the boat. The officers on the boat calmed down and carefully raised their heads to look at what was going on under the boat.
Suddenly, the sea surface rolled, and water droplets jumped up as if falling into a jade plate. Countless toothfish kept jumping up and down, causing waves of water splashes.
Cong Fu's pretty face turned cold and he said nothing.
In the blink of an eye, these toothfish swam around the warship, drawing a circle of water and surrounding the warship. Congfu snorted coldly, glanced up at the two warships, and said in a deep voice: "Get ready."
Kerosene.”
"Le Jin, is it too early? Maybe these toothfish will disperse after a while."
"We can't let it go. The toothfish never swarm in this season, and nine times out of ten they are coming for us.
As long as there is a school of toothfish, the tiger lionfish will not be far away. I estimate that the tiger lionfish will catch up with the toothfish school in an hour or two at most, and it will be difficult to leave by then."
"Yes, I will prepare the kerosene right now."
"Keep an eye on the wind direction, break through the fish school, then move forward with full sail, and be sure to get rid of the toothfish."
Officer Fu Cong respectfully accepted the order, released the jump pole from the side of the ship, and slowly poured down the kerosene. Seeing the opportunity, Cong Fu shouted sharply: "Fire the arrows and raise the sails."
A raging fire broke out a few feet away from the ship. The toothfish was frightened and fled, leaving a sea path. The two warships filed out and drove away quickly in a direction where they could rely on the wind.
Some of the toothfish that couldn't get away jumped up and crashed into the warship, making a banging sound. Li Luo was secretly surprised when he heard the sound, which was a bit unusual.
The warship used the force to escape a hundred feet away, and the fire behind it became smaller. At first, there were still some toothfish swimming on the sea illuminated by the fire.
After a while, the sea gradually calmed down, and except for an occasional toothfish, the rest disappeared.
Cong Fu's jade face was covered with frost, and he said in a cold voice: "Always pay attention to the wind direction, and be sure to move forward with full sail. The fish school has not gone far. If you slow down a little, you will be overtaken by them."
