On the vast river, a boat moved quickly, and the men behind it were swimming in pursuit. Their movements were very fast, and when they saw several fishing boats approaching around them, they threw the fishermen into the water one after another and paddled on their own.

, quickly chasing the ship in front of him.

It was already dusk, the sky was dark and gray. The sound of the girl's rapid paddling came from the withered yellow reeds. They had been chasing for a while. The men were sometimes far away from the girl and sometimes closer. There were boats on the river.

The long traces passed by were soon submerged by water.

"Don't let her run away, chase her quickly!"

Harsh shouts rang out in droves. At this time, Xin Yue had already crossed a long distance of water, his arms were numb with soreness, sweat was dripping from his jade-like face, and there were a few strands of hair on his smooth forehead.

Close to her, her pointed little face was now flushed, looking as intoxicating as if she had been drunk.

Soon, she saw the long embankment, her eyes flashed, and she quickly rowed the boat to the shore. She took out a gold leaf from the small pocket at her waist and put it into the arms of the old fisherman.

To compensate him for the fish he worked so hard to catch but she kicked him into the river.

She tied the rope around a big tree on the side to prevent the fishing boat from drifting around. In a few seconds, she was done with the aftermath, and the people behind her were quickly catching up.

This is a turning point, and it is also a docking place. At this moment, there are a few boats parked on the shore. Xin Yue did not go ashore, but got into a boat like a swimming fish with an inconspicuous boat hanging at the stern.

After Xin Yue boarded the boat with a small red flag, he said quickly and quietly to the people inside:

"According to plan, no changes."

"Hey!"

That man was a Japanese ronin, hired by Xin Yue these days. After hearing Xin Yue's words, the ronin replied ably.

This man has stern eyes, and his paddling speed is even faster than that of Xin Yue. It can be seen that he is a practicing practitioner who has been making a living at sea all year round. As Xin Yue planned before, he paddled leisurely

By paddling, Chu Zhiling's men would not catch up, but they would not open too much distance.

At this moment, Xin Yue was not rowing, so she felt reassured by the prodigal's hand strength. On the bow of the boat, which had a canopy, she suddenly turned her head and glanced behind her, as if she was inspecting the situation behind.

The distance between Song Chang and his group was still quite far, and the sky was cloudy at this time, so it was not possible to see anyone clearly. Xin Yue only turned around for a moment, but Song Chang's keen eyes caught it, and he couldn't care about anything.

He didn't even think about changing the boat, and he didn't even think about whether it was a scam. He just ordered his brothers to chase him quickly.

Because the fishing boat was blocked by a not too small awning, Song Chang and others who followed could not see the Japanese ronin rowing on the bow. They thought that Xin Yue was paddling quickly as usual, thinking that she was the only one on the boat.

People are fighting alone.

They took the stolen boat and headed forward desperately.

About ten minutes later, the boat came to a dense forest as expected. The boats behind it were also chasing steadily. Xin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"A little faster."

The Ronin then speeded up, and at this moment, a thin black shadow on the boat slid down quietly, almost silently diving into the cold sea water, and quietly moved towards the shore in the slightly gloomy sky.

Rowing away, suddenly, a black shadow broke out of the water, landed on the shore like lightning, rolled on the spot, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest. The black shadow was very fast, like light smoke, and when no one noticed it, it disappeared

It has already escaped and disappeared.

Under the gloomy sky, Song Chang and others locked their eyes on the fast-moving boat in front of them, and did not notice this insignificant change at all.

"Chase! Work harder, we must catch up with her!"

When the black shadow in the forest heard this hoarse cry, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a bright smile bloomed on his usually lazy face.

Half an hour later, the sky had turned completely dark.

Two hours later. Tazawa Mansion.

The expressionless man sat on the gold-painted rosewood soft chair, resting his elbows on the armrests beside him. His thumb and index finger gently rubbed his smooth chin. His eyes as black as the abyss coldly glanced at the people present.

Deep voice:

"We almost caught up with her and let her run away again?"

There was no trace of anger in his voice, nor was it loud, but it was as if a storm was brewing and was about to break out at any time.

"Yes, brother."

Song Chang stood up, nodded and replied.

Chu Zhiling's eyes suddenly narrowed, his expression not angry but powerful, and several people secretly broke into a cold sweat.

In fact, Chu Zhiling was very kind to them and rarely lost his temper with them. However, in the past few days, without Xin Yue, Chu Zhiling's temper became particularly irritable, like an angry beast. And when he was not angry,

He pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes seemed to be shining with coldness, and the air could often drop to freezing point.

"A few days ago, my elder brother asked us to track down the whereabouts of that woman. We searched everywhere but to no avail. Today we finally found out that the woman had appeared in Shuizaki. A group of us chased her away, but in the blink of an eye she disappeared again. Until

In the evening, someone discovered that she seemed to be heading to Hirado Port, carrying a ship from Hirado Port, back to China."

Chu Zhiling frowned slightly, and there was a small and unclear light floating in his narrow eyes. He seemed to have calmed down a lot, and said thoughtfully:

"Tell me about the specific process."

Song Chang then told what he saw and felt today.

His central meaning is roughly this: Xin Yue has been heading north.

Chu Zhiling raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is she going to Jingtuan Port in the north?"

——

One day later, Jingtuan Port, which is slightly north of Hirado Port, was surrounded by Chu Zhiling's troops and secretly watched. Song Chang secretly checked every move in the surrounding area. He believed that Xin Yue's purpose was very clear, and she was eager to get it.

Chu Zhiling escaped from Chu Zhiling and was eager to return to China, so he must lurk near the port. When they relaxed a little, they took the ship back.

Two days later, there was still no sign of Xin Yue. Song Chang wondered to himself, could it be that she continued to go north? She guessed that they would guard the nearby Jingtuan Port, so she did not hesitate to go to a port further north?

As a result, Chu Zhiling's men and horses dispersed sharply and guarded closely at major ports in Japan. Just in case, in case Xin Yue used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, it seemed that they would not go to Xin Yue again.

The Hirado Port has arranged manpower.

This was simply an airtight place. Chu Zhiling sent out almost all his men and horses to circle around the major ports. If Xin Yue could escape, it would be impossible unless he had wings or the blessing of gods.

As long as Xin Yue wants to escape, he will be caught by Chu Zhiling sooner or later. This is simply a dead game, and Xin Yue has nowhere to go.
