In the Yangtze River during the day, thousands of sails are racing, and hundreds of boats are competing for the current; After nightfall, the river is lit with fishing fires, reflecting thousands of stars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Legend has it that every time a firework goes off in the night, a life disappears.

Li En saw a blooming firework on the bow of the ship, and the four friends of Sui Han who were traveling with him immediately became vigilant, and sure enough, they encountered an ambush here, and the ambush soldiers on both sides of the river shot countless rockets at their sailboat, and for a time the hull of the ship was ablaze and reflected the red river.

"Looks like we'll have to abandon ship to survive!" The boss Zhan Kaijiao said: "Do you know how to swim? ”

Li En had not yet answered, but the situation was urgent, the old shipwright had already dropped the rudder, grabbed him and rushed into the bilge, the old shipowner had not yet understood what was coming, but the four knights who followed had already swung their blades and struck the ship's plank.

After an explosion, the ship's planks cracked, and the river water poured into the cabin, and the old shipwright escaped from the cabin with Li En, jumped into the Yangtze River, and swam to the shore.

The water nature of the old boatman is naturally not weak, and he can hold his breath for half a column of incense under the water, but Li En can't, but fortunately, the current here is very strong, but the wind and waves are not big, and they are carried downstream by the current.

Jin Shenghan swam up from behind, then stuffed a jet-black bamboo pole into Li En's mouth, and said, "Hold it in your mouth and put your head back under the water." ”

The bamboo poles are hollow so that they can breathe underwater.

They all dived underwater, and several clippers rowed towards the sailboat, casting their nets and starting to salvage.

Li En saw the sabers on the waists of these boatmen from under the water, this group of people was obviously aimed at himself, could it be related to the election of the alliance leader?

Under the guidance of the four friends of Sui Han, he swam to the north of the river, and the old boatman kept holding Li En's hand, and then simply connected the two with a belt and swam to the shore along the current.

Lee's mouth was numb, but he still didn't dare to let go, but he rolled over and began to swim on his own.

The fishing fire behind him gradually faded away, and the old boatman pulled him ashore, quickly looked around, and saw that there were no pursuers, so he sat down and gasped.

Li En also spit out the bamboo pole in his mouth and gasped for breath. The clothes on his body were completely soaked, and a night breeze blew, and it was a little cold, and he shivered.

The others swam ashore not far ahead of them, and without resting, they hurried towards them.

Li En asked them, "Who ambushed us?" ”

Zhan Kaijiao said: "Don't make a sound, come with us!" ”

The owner of the ship sighed and said, "My new ship, which is less than a year old, is ruined like this!" ”

The old boatman also regretted it, and Zhan Kaijiao said in a low voice: "Your losses are recorded in the accounts of the seniors, for the safety of Li Gongzi, you rush to Jiangdong, and we will meet again in Luoyang!" ”

Li En also said to the old boatman: "I just thanked the boatman for saving his life, but I haven't asked for the surname of Engongzun, how to call it?" ”

The old boatman said: "The morality of the rivers and lakes does not have to be taken to heart." If there is fate, we will see you again! ”

Zhan Kaijiao said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, it's not safe here!" ”

Li En hurriedly got up, twisted the water stains on his clothes, and walked forward behind Zhan Kaijiao.

Li En is not good at walking at night, but there are stars and moon tonight, plus someone to guide the way, it is not difficult to walk, but the footsteps still can't keep up with Zhan Kaijiao, he doesn't understand that the old injuries on these four people have not healed, but they still walk so fast?

Xue Tao's words woke him up: "Hurry up, otherwise the chasing soldiers will come from behind, and we will all die!" ”

They were walking briskly, Zhan Kaijiao suddenly stopped, turned to the three of them, and said, "Lie down, don't make a sound!" ”

Before Li En could finish listening, the two behind him had already pressed him to the ground, and Zhan Kaijiao also squatted down, and saw one of them hurrying back from front of them, and then whispered: "The enemy has discovered that we have escaped from the cabin, and we are now searching along the river with torches." ”

Listening to the voice, Zhan Kaijiao said in a low voice: "I hope that Captain Ouyang can lead the enemy away." ”

Li En said, "Then aren't they very dangerous?" ”

Jin Shenghan immediately covered his mouth and said, "Shut up!" ”

Zhan Kaijiao turned his head and said in a low voice: "They are just ordinary boatmen, what will the enemy do to them?" But you're different, they'll take your head and take it back for a reward! ”

Sure enough, Ouyang's boat owner and his gang attracted the attention of the pursuers, and a team of knights took the lead in chasing, Zhan Kaijiao immediately lay on the ground, Zha Tiankuo made a seal on his chest, whispered a decision, and quickly lay on the ground.

Li En felt that he had been pointed, not only could he not move his body, but he couldn't even speak.

The group of cavalry rushed past them, and Li En heard the sound of Jin Shenghan's bones breaking beside him.

After the team of knights chased away, Zhan Kaijiao immediately jumped up to check Jin Shenghan's injuries, and Zha Tiankuo read the decision again, Xue Tao unlocked Li En's acupoint, and then mobilized internal force to heal his companions.

Jin Shenghan spit out a mouthful of black blood and said, "Don't heal me yet, let's leave quickly!" ”

Zhan Kaijiao immediately picked him up and said to Zha Tiankuo: "Second brother, do you remember the direction to Dafa Temple?" Let's go there and take shelter! ”

Zha Tiankuo nodded in response, pulled Li En and said, "Don't fall behind, you are responsible for the fourth child!" Xue Tao answered and held the sword.

Their speed is faster, and Li En deeply understands that if they don't run desperately, they will die.

No sooner had they fled than he turned back to see a large crowd of enemies with torches searching the place where they had just been hiding.

They waited until the moon disappeared and the stars in the sky were only a few sparse points, and then they arrived outside a small village, and the sound of dogs barking came from outside the simple house, Zhan Kaijiao put the third child down, and said in a low voice: "Everyone stop and rest for a while, don't disturb the villagers!" ”

Li En said, "Why don't we go to the village to spend the night?" ”

Although Zhan Kaijiao was very tired, he still sneered and said, "If you want the whole village to be affected, go ahead!" ”

Xue Tao opened Jin Shenghan's shirt, touched the fracture, and said, "You have to hurry up and pick up the bones, otherwise the broken bones will easily puncture the internal organs!" ”

Zhan Kaijiao asked Zha Tiankuo: "How far is it from Dafa Temple here?" ”

Zha Tiankuo got up and carefully observed the village, and said: "If I guess correctly, this should be Baishi Village, two miles away from Dafa Temple, Taibai Star is due east, Dafa Temple is due north, we will be able to arrive soon if we walk in this direction!" ”

Zhan Kaijiao said: "There is no time, we must enter the Dafa Temple before dawn!" ”

Li En said: "Let me carry the golden knight!" ”

Xue Tao said: "No need, it's more dangerous for you to carry the third child!" ”

He and Zhan Kaijiao set up Jin Shenghan, Zha Tiankuo led the way, and Li En followed behind them and quickly rushed north, and they heard the bell in the temple.

After walking more than two miles, a piece of fish belly white was exposed in the east, and a black and steep temple appeared in front of them, Li En was overjoyed and was about to step forward to call the door, Zhan Kaijiao stopped him again and said, "Let's go over the wall and go in!" ”
