Chapter 18 The Traitor(1/2)

Every night on the sea is almost the same, especially on rainy days. Looking out along the window of the cabin, it is a dark scenery, and it is impossible to tell which is the sea or the sky.

Only when the moon is shining with stars can the sailors on the sea distinguish what is the surging sea and what is the vast sky.

Because Tang Jie understood the skills of fighting spirit in the evening, after he sent Niya into her room, he did not go in and linger with her for the first time. Instead, he came to the deck alone, struck while the iron was hot, and activated the fighting spirit in his body again and again, looking for the feeling of this force.

A martial artsman like Tang Jie has mastered a brand new combat skill, and it is the fighting spirit he sees in his usual novels. How could he not enjoy it and be obsessed with it?

His crazy state was even more deeply involved than the navigation technique he taught him by Captain Barr.

I don’t know how long it took, until Tang Jie activated the fighting spirit in his body and saw a layer of golden light faintly appearing on his hands, he stopped ecstatically and proudly.

"I didn't expect that I could really learn such a magical thing as Dou Qi..." Tang Jie smiled slightly, looking at his hands slightly shimmering a layer of yellow halo under the night sky. "I didn't expect that the principle of Dou Qi is very similar to that of a human internal force, but the internal force comes from the human qi and blood meridians, and Dou Qi is extracted from this qi, and it is a purer breath of explosive power."

Tang Jie activated the fighting spirit in his body until he felt a little tired and stopped, and the light yellow light in his hand disappeared.

"It seems that this kind of fighting spirit is still very physically exhausting." Tang Jie thought about it.

No matter what, what I have learned in the past few days is something I have never learned in the past twenty years. Tang Jie has been studying for more than ten years, but he has not been as excited and eager to learn as he has been in the past few days.

Seeing that the moon was already hanging in the sky, and it was already the last dark moment before dawn, Tang Jie stretched and finally prepared to return to his sailor's room and sleep soundly.

His status on this ship was not required to do ordinary sailors' work, although he would sometimes rush to work with them so that he would not alienate each other's relationships, but could learn more sailors' work on the deck.

Even if he sleeps alone in the room until the sun sets, no one will care about him.

Tang Jie bent down, climbed down the deck, and walked into the narrow cabin walkway. When he walked to the door of his sailor's room, he heard a faint sound of speech coming from the end of the corridor.

Tang Jie was a little curious and walked over gently, but was shocked to find that the voice was actually coming from the room where Jones was imprisoned.

After the battle on the "Praiser", Barniya and his team successfully captured the captain of the Raider with the help of Tang Jie. After taking him on the ship, they were kept in a small black room at the end of the cabin. Except for someone who brought him water and food every day, the others did not cause trouble for him, even though his subordinates killed many of their brothers.

Thanks to Captain Barr's explanation, he said that this was an excellent amulet and hostage, and he must not be neglected. Otherwise, with William and his temper, I'm afraid that Jones would have become a pile of rotten meat.

But treat it well, the bearded man Barr repeatedly explained that he would never allow anyone to contact Jones in private, otherwise he would throw it into the sea to feed the fish!

No one on the boat dares to offend Barr's majesty, but who is this? He dares to meet Jones in private at this time?

Does he want to die?

Tang Jieqiang walked to the door of the room with his doubts in his heart, and quietly looked inside, but saw that there were only two figures inside, one sitting on the ground, his hands tied up. It was Jones, and the other was standing, wearing a long shirt, but he couldn't see who it was.

But although Tang Jie couldn't see who this person was, Tang Jie had already guessed the name of this person just from the hem of his ankle!

Horn!

Why is he here at this time?

Is healing Jones?

Tang Jie was shocked. As soon as this thought arose, he heard a low voice coming from inside, but Jones's resentful voice: "Don't pretend, I'll tell you, why things are so chaotic, you know better than me! Why don't we implement the plan we agreed on at the beginning?"

With a bang, Tang Jie only felt an explosion in his head, and a thought that shocked him appeared like lightning!

Horn and Jones met?

Are they colluding?

Horn, is a traitor!?

This thought buzzed in Tang Jie's mind, so that Horn lowered his voice and said something, but he couldn't hear clearly.

Since the end of that naval battle, although Tang Jie didn't think about some suspicious things, he had an impression of them. After he got on the boat, the little things he saw were connected by these words, which made his mind gradually clear.

On the night of the naval battle, I saw Horn on the deck and remembered that there were obvious scratches on his clothes. Niya also said that in this late autumn, the wind direction in the Atak Sea cannot be changed, and there is even less likely to be a sudden storm. There is a kind of person in this world who can change this.

That's the magician!

And Horn is a magician!

During the heavy rain, I climbed onto the mast to loosen the sail knot, but it was a man-made dead knot, and there were obvious scratches on Horn's clothes. It was obvious that it was the trace left by him climbing onto the main mast to tie the sail knot into a dead knot!

As long as the Hell capsizes, he and Jones can easily catch up with Barr and the others. Then all they do is to calm the storm and waves, and then catch up their dogs!

Although Tang Jie has a heroic and straightforward personality, he is definitely not a fool. Although he is not good at scheming power, it does not mean that when all the clues are placed in front of him, he still cannot see the clues of all this.

But what Tang Jie didn't expect was why such a traitor who cooperated with the inside and outside was Horn, who saved his life?

When he first came to this world, although Tang Jie had a conflict with Niya, William and others on the ship, and experienced another thrilling storm and naval battle, what he felt in it was the thrilling fearless fighting spirit of the pirates and their unity spirit of advancing and retreating with Barr.

What particularly touched Tang Jie was the simple and generous group of pirates, who had a drunk character and temper.

This is a group of lovely friends, a team that can make people feel a sense of belonging quickly.

Tang Jie likes these guys, and he also likes this team.

However, today, at this time, Tang Jie finally realized that under the bright sunshine, there will still be dark corners that cannot be exposed to the sun!

Where there are people, there will be battles!

Why did Horn betray us?

Is it because of that fictitious treasure map?

The more Tang Jie thought about it, the more he felt colder, and the more he felt uncomfortable he felt. He had already regarded himself as a part of this ship and as a part of this group. Horn betrayed this team, which was equivalent to betraying him!

What's more, how could this pastor who is addicted to alcohol, lazy and dirty, do such a thing?

It’s really aware of people but not your heart!

When Tang Jie was in his mind, he heard footsteps coming from the room where Jones was imprisoned, and Horn was about to come out.

Tang Jie was shocked and immediately reached out to push the door of a storage room next to him. The door was locked! Tang Jie didn't think about it, and he exclaimed, pulled the iron chain on the door latch and flashed in quickly.

Almost as soon as Tang Jie closed the door lightly, a person walked out of Jones' room.

Tang Jie looked through the crack in the door and saw a dim light shining on a bearded face. Who would it be if it were Horn?

Tang Jie felt like a big stone was pressed in his heart. After Huo An looked around and walked into his room, he walked out and sighed softly.

Back in his room, Tang Jie lay on the cold bed, listening to the thunderous snoring of other sailors in the room, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

It was not until dawn that Tang Jie could not withstand the invasion of sleepiness and fell asleep.

But before he slept for a long time, he vaguely heard someone shouting in the cabin: "Jones are running away! Jones is running away!"

Tang Jie was shocked, and like a burning butt, he sat up and quickly put on his clothes and shoes, and rushed out of the door, but saw Bill running around with a sharp voice.

The cabin was already as lively as a pot of boiling water, and the pirates were clamoring, angry and excited.

Tang Jie grabbed him and asked, "What's going on? How could Jones run away?"

Bill shouted: "I saw that when Kerr went to deliver breakfast to that bastard in the morning, his door was already open, and there was no one inside! And there was one missing in the lifeboat on the boat, so it must have run away!"

At this time, William also came over angrily, his fist clattering: "If I catch this bastard again, I must beat him into meat sauce! Don't think that killing so many of us brothers is enough!"

Tang Jie's thoughts flashed, it must be Horn who let him go!

Bastard, since I appeared last night, why don’t I watch this Jones!

It's all my fault!!

Bill looked at Tang Jie's face and his face was as clear as water. He asked in surprise: "What's wrong, what are you thinking?"

Tang Jie shook his head and patted Bill on the shoulder: "Does the captain understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bill had not answered, he heard the deep and thick voice of the bearded Barr coming from his captain's room: "Tang Jie, come to me!"

The captain's room was smaller than the ordinary sailor's room, but because the captain lived alone, it seemed much spacious. As soon as Tang Jie entered the door, he saw a neatly stacked bed next to a desk. On the copper-yellow wooden wall, there was a pair of armor and a shield, and a short-handled wrist-guarded sword was worn in the shield.

There are not many decorations in the room, but there is a sense of ingenuity and uniqueness everywhere.

Old Barr stood in the room without wearing a captain's hat, revealing his chaotic head, looking a little unsatisfied. When he saw Tang Jie coming in, he gestured to him to bring the door with him with his eyes.

When Tang Jie closed the door, the two men, one old and one young, looked at each other, and neither spoke. The silence in the room seemed more and more depressed by the noise in the corridor.

After a while, Old Bar said, "You have heard about what's happening outside?"

Tang Jie nodded, his lips opened, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

Barr's eyes flashed and he smiled: "What do you want to say? Or, what do you know?"

Tang Jie was shocked, his eyes looked at Barr, but he saw this gentle and kind elder who was usually gentle and kind, with his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to see through Tang Jie's heart at one glance.

Under Barr's gaze, Tang Jie sighed secretly in his heart, and told him everything he saw last night, but he did not say all the speculations in his heart.

Barr was fascinated by the hearing. His bronze face was not surprised or happy, and there was no slight turmoil. It was obvious that he had seen countless storms.

After hearing Tang Jie say this, he raised his head, let out a long sigh, patted Tang Jie on the shoulder, and smiled slightly: "Good boy, I really didn't see you wrong!"

"Hmm?" Tang Jie was a little puzzled.

Barr smiled: "You saw Horn and Jones meet privately last night, right?"

Tang Jie nodded, Barr smiled coldly and said, "I'm right behind you!"

Tang Jie was shocked and his hair stood up on his back!

It turns out that Lao Bar was testing him just now!

Tang Jie said while eating: "So, you know Horn..."

Old Barr smiled slightly and asked back, "Child, how long have you been on the boat?"

Tang Jie thought for a while and said, "It's been sixteen days!"
