Chapter 747: The River is Attacked
The sky, the sunset hangs, obliquely shooting out thousands of rays of brilliance, the blue waves wander, the spring breeze is picturesque.
The speed of the steel ship was extremely fast, speeding on the Tiancang Grand Canal, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, and leaving the boundary of Tianzhou.
At this time, Jiang Yi was practicing martial arts on the deck, constantly absorbing the medicinal power of the Jingyuan Divine Pill.
He was going to refine all the ten Essence Yuan Divine Pills before swallowing the Holy Spirit Pill.
The capacity is like the wind, the exhalation is like a cow, one move and one style, all of them are flowing clouds and water, without half a point of stagnation, giving people a sense of heaviness like a mountain.
This is the orthodox martial art of forging the flesh.
The "Mr. Min" secretly observed, and secretly said in his heart: "This kid's martial arts are well practiced, ten Jing Yuan Divine Pills, plus a Holy Spirit Pill, are enough to cultivate to the realm of half saints, but even if he cultivates to a half saint, it is not worth mentioning in front of me, His Royal Highness sent me to supervise this kid this time, it is really overkill, but if this kid is obedient, forget it, if he has a different heart, I will kill him and return to his life." I've never killed ...... new champion, Wenqu Xing has never killed it."
A gloomy sneer appeared on his face, and he immediately withdrew his gaze and returned to the room, not continuing to observe.
He is a powerhouse of the first level of transcendent sainthood, high and unblasphemous, and Jiang Yi has not even cultivated a half-saint, how can he take it to heart?
In his heart, even if Jiang Yi is the top and first, he is still an ant, no matter how hard he cultivates, he is not his opponent.
But he didn't know that his every move was in Jiang Yi's sense.
After Jiang Yi saw him return to the room, he couldn't help but sneer a few times in his heart, and he didn't care, he continued to practice martial arts and refine the Jingyuan Divine Pill.
It was getting dark soon, and the river breeze brought a hint of coolness.
After Jiang Yi took a cold shower, he stood at the bow of the boat and continued to comprehend the "art of exhaling the wind".
Just then, footsteps approached behind him.
He opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head and saw that it was actually a shipman.
However, this soldier is a little different, his body looks extremely small, and he has a faint fragrance all over his body.
"A woman dressed as a man?"
Jiang Yi immediately reacted and saw Mingtang, but this aroma made him feel very familiar.
"Miss Qiu Wan?"
In an instant, he saw the face of the ship's soldier clearly, and was surprised: "Why are you?"
Who else could this skinny shipper be if it wasn't Pang Qiuwan?
She actually disguised herself as a shipwreck and infiltrated the steel ship, and she didn't know where she was hiding, and now it was dark before she came out.
At this moment, another thin boat soldier walked over, it was Pang Qiuwan's maid, Cui'er.
"I got on this ship, naturally I was going to Cangzhou. Pang Qiuwan said.
"You're going to Cangzhou, Cangzhou is too far away from Kyoto, and it's not peaceful, did you tell the Taishi?" Jiang Yi said in surprise.
"Don't worry! My father already knows that I went to Cangzhou. Pang Qiuwan replied.
When she was leaving, she had already left a letter, and the letter was very clear, how could her father not know?
But Jiang Yi's eyes swept over the two of them, revealing suspicion: "You ran out secretly, no, I'll still send you back, in case something goes wrong, how can you afford it?"
This Taishi Pang Tiandu, who is a literary master in the world, has a heroic and upright spirit, is bright and upright, and has high morality, talked with him at the Qionglin banquet, and told Jiang Yi many things without reservation.
Jiang Yi's heart was very grateful, if there was anything to serve, he was naturally duty-bound.
"Now that the ship has left Tianzhou, if it is turned back, it will take another day's work, you have received the emperor's order this time, and you have 100,000 urgent military affairs on your body, if you delay a major event, can you afford it?"
Pang Qiuwan hurriedly said, looking like I wouldn't go back.
"Threaten me with this, but it's a pity that I don't eat this!" Jiang Yi's heart moved, and he guessed Pang Qiuwan's thoughts: "I didn't say that I would fall off the boat and go back, when I get to the next state and provincial dock, I will order someone to send you back." ”
"You ......," Pang Qiuwan looked angry.
"Lifeng Gongzi, for the sake of Miss helping you, you can take our Miss to Cangzhou, if you send us back to Kyoto, the Taishi will definitely tie Miss up and hang her. Cui'er pleaded with a pitiful face.
When Jiang Yi heard this, he immediately laughed dumbly, how could Pang Tiandu be a great Confucian, how could he do such a barbaric thing.
What's more, Pang Tiandu must be pampered by such a daughter as Pang Qiuwan, and it is too late to feel distressed, and it is impossible to beat her.
This maid is bold, if this remark reaches the ears of the Taishi, I don't know what a wonderful expression the Taishi will be.
What kind of master there is, what kind of maid there is.
Jiang Yi probably saw that the two masters and servants today were relying on him.
"Well, in that case, then you can stay first, but you have to listen to me for everything along the way, otherwise I won't be responsible for any mistakes. ”
Jiang Yi finally agreed.
"Thank you, Lady Lifeng!" Cui'er said with a grateful face.
"Hmph!" Pang Qiuwan snorted coldly, as if she was still a little dissatisfied.
Then the two of them turned and left, and went down to change their uniforms.
Jiang Yi continued to stay in the bow of the boat, with the help of the bright moonlight, looking at the front of the canal, his eyes flashed with a strong essence: "Cangzhou, I'm Jiang Yi here!"
On this day, the Cangcang Grand Canal, passing through dozens of states and provinces, has layers of blockades on the river, and passing ships need to go through strict inventory before they can get through.
However, Jiang Yi is the champion of the prince, and the notice has been passed to all states and provinces, and he has become an upstart in the imperial court, and his reputation is far and wide, and no one knows it.
He was the official position of Zheng Sanpin, and many officials had to be polite when they saw him, knelt down and saluted, and competed to escort him, and the road was unimpeded.
However, Jiang Yi also discovered that officials from several states and provinces did not seem to buy his account and wanted to check the ships, but he had a holy decree in his hand and was ordered to go to Cangzhou, and these people finally let him go.
Later, I heard Pang Qiuwan say that the officials of these states and provinces were the people of the second prince, and they should have known that he had taken refuge in the eldest prince, so they deliberately made things difficult.
This kind of factional struggle is extremely dark and often kills people without blood.
Five days later!
The ship still came to Cangzhou very smoothly.
As soon as they entered the territory of Cangzhou, everyone felt that the air had become much more humid and smelled a fishy and salty smell.
Coming to Cangzhou means being close to the sea, which is the taste of the sea.
"We've never seen the sea before, and we don't know what it's like. Everyone gathered around Jiang Yi and said excitedly.
Almost all of them stay in Lizhou, where is the opportunity to see the sea?
Ying Ning is a member of the desolate clan, and he has never seen the sea, and his eyes are full of curiosity.
"I used to follow my father to Cangzhou once, but at that time I was still young, many memories have been blurred, and the first impression of the sea to me is that it is wide, boundless, beautiful and free. ”
Pang Qiuwan suddenly spoke, also full of yearning: "Now the ship has just entered the territory of Cangzhou, and there is still a distance from the sea, according to the speed of this ship, I am afraid it will arrive early tomorrow morning." ”
Jiang Yi glanced at her and didn't speak.
At this moment, it is evening.
A fiery cloud appeared in the sky, and a flock of geese flew north, as if the direction of the sea was going.
It's a place of freedom, but it's also a place of danger.
The river ahead became narrow and slow.
On both sides of the canal, the mountains and mountains, the sound of wolves howling and tiger roars are constantly heard, and there are apes crying, which gives people a taste of horror in this twilight.
At this moment, all of a sudden, the night birds on both sides of the mountains were startled, and the cries of those wild wolves, tigers and leopards, and apes stopped abruptly, and there was silence all around, as if some terrible sound was about to happen.
Swish!
In an instant, a dazzling light shot forward from the boat, spreading layer by layer, illuminating the canal in snow-white light, and all the scenery was in full view.
This is the "Sky Lantern", which was also made by the Central Imperial Shrine and is very useful for traveling at night.
"Hurry back, an enemy is coming to the door. The "Mr. Min" walked forward, proudly independent, his eyes like lightning, looking at both sides of the canal, and said in a commanding tone.
Needless to say, when the "sky lantern" shot out, Jiang Yi discovered the situation.
But he didn't care, since this person wanted to be capable, let him come, so he beckoned everyone to retreat: "Everyone be careful!"
There are free thugs who don't use, that's fools.
Now the enemy has not yet been clarified, and it is not known whether there are any powerful masters, the only thing that can be determined is that these people have been ambushed here for a long time, waiting for a long time, and they are menacing.
"Who are these people? What are these people? How bold they are to attack a military ship from Kyoto. Pang Qiuwan's eyes were sharp, and she immediately exerted her mental power, and immediately saw that on the bank of the canal, many black shadows appeared, and many people actually held bows and crossbows in their hands.
"Be careful!" she cried out as her face changed.
Whoosh ......
Almost at the same time as this sound was made, a dense rain of arrows appeared on both sides of the canal, shooting towards the river.
Dingding!!
These sharp arrows, containing great power, shot at the ship, and suddenly a piercing sound sounded, stirring up countless sparks.
But the ship was made of steel, so strong that it stopped all the arrows in an instant.
Only a few of the sailors were caught off guard, fell to the ground with arrows, and were shot and killed.
"This is the Rainstorm Breaking Divine Arrow made by Momen, is it a disciple of Momen?" Jiang Yi asked everyone to hide their bodies, grabbed it with his big hand, and immediately grabbed a few sharp arrows in his hands, and at a glance, he recognized this sharp arrow, it was actually a Rainstorm Breaking Divine Arrow that could fire eight arrows in a row.
This kind of bow and crossbow is amazingly powerful, comparable to a talisman crossbow, and even a reborn master can't resist it.
