Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Flag

Ji Ji watched Xie Lang leave, slowly lowered her eyes, and then, the sound of the flute rose faintly.

The next day, Ji Ji got up early in the morning again, she came to the bow of the boat, crouched on the side of the boat, looked at the spring waves in the morning glow, and was drunk for a while.

Xie Twenty-nine also came out of the cabin at this time, and when he saw Ji Ji with an intoxicated and happy face, he walked over. Coming behind Ji Ji, Xie Twenty-nine's low, naturally strict and cold voice sounded, "Are you in a good mood?" โ€

Ji Ji turned around and saw that it was him, she saluted and said with a smile: "The spring is shining, the morning glow is full of sky, and I am in a happy mood." โ€

Xie Twenty-nine looked at her, and after a while, he frowned and said, "I don't understand this, you should obviously be worried." He said: "I can't get it and I can't let it go, this kind of thing happened to my eighteenth brother, and he was more melancholy than happy, why do you show that you are more free and easy than him?" โ€

When he said this, Ji Ji didn't know how to reply. Looking at each other for a while, Ji Ji whispered: "Such a beautiful day, seeing it for a day, is a lot of cheapness for a day, what troubles can overwhelm the pleasure given by the beautiful scenery of this world?" โ€

Xie Twenty-nine definitely glanced at her, and saw that she didn't seem to be fake, so he nodded and said, "You are a free and easy person." With that, he turned and walked away.

After watching the sunrise at the bow of the boat for a while, Ji Ji felt a little tired, so she went back to the cabin.

She had just had breakfast in the cabin, and when she took out a book Jane and was about to flip through it, suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

You must know that Xie Lang's subordinates have always been disciplined. There are not many facts that can make them noisy, and at that moment, Ji Ji put the book slip on a few sides and walked out of the cabin quickly.

The bow of the ship was full of people.

When Ji Ji came over, she saw at a glance that the river in front of her was dyed red by a large area, and there were many corpses floating on the river, as well as some boat wreckage!

This scene made Ji Ji shocked.

That's when it happened. Footsteps behind him. But it was Xie Lang who walked out surrounded by everyone.

Seeing him coming, Xie Twenty-nine hurriedly greeted him, and he said sternly: "Eighteen brothers, do you see this situation? โ€

Xie Lang did not answer. Just said to Xie Jing: "Get a few corpses to come up and have a look." โ€

"Yes."

Just when Xie Jing and the others were salvaging the body. Xie Twenty-nine saw the only woman in the crowd, Ji Ji. Then he frowned at Xie Lang and said, "This scene is unbearable, let your woman hide back in the cabin." โ€

Xie Lang didn't look back, he said indifferently: "She's not afraid." โ€

As soon as these words came out. Xie Twenty-nine was stunned.

After a while, several corpses were brought up by the trilogy.

When the seven corpses were lined up on the deck, Xie Twenty-nine looked towards Ji Ji, and saw that her face was really as usual, not afraid, and he was secretly shocked, and couldn't help but wonder: This poor girl is so bold, and she has only learned people, but she is afraid that Shibalang's future wife will really not be able to suppress her.

The seven corpses were dressed in one color, Xie Jing checked it, turned to Xie Lang and said: "Lang Jun, these people are dressed as river bandits, but from this dress, I can't tell which river bandit it is." โ€

Xie Lang nodded.

After throwing the seven corpses into the river, Xie Jing and the others were still looking for the floating corpses dressed differently. After a while, they finally found one, and when they took a look, someone exclaimed: "It's the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty!" Lang Jun, as you expected, it was really some river bandits who attacked the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty! โ€

Xie Twenty-Nine's expression was quite stern, and after he looked at the corpse carefully for a while, he turned to Xie Lang and said, "Eighteen Lang, this matter has been expected by you one after another, but I am afraid that I have to guard against it." โ€

Xie Lang bowed slightly, and after looking at the river in the distance for a while, he slowly ordered: "Go to the flag!" On the family crest! โ€

"Yes!"

So, almost as soon as Xie Lang's voice fell, the painting style of the whole boat changed greatly, and in the blink of an eye, Xie Guang, Xie Jing and others put on Chinese clothes, and in the blink of an eye, the bow and stern of the boat were repainted with the mark belonging to the Xie clan of Chen County, and in the blink of an eye, a blue flag and a white flag rose.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Downstream of the river, three cargo ships slowly approached, and at this moment, the corpses and broken planks also flowed to the side of these cargo ships, so that the whole cargo ship came out, and they pointed at the river, and everyone had a sad look on their faces.

At this moment, the captain of the ship cried out in ecstasy, "Heaven will not kill me!" God won't kill me! โ€

Everyone was startled and looked at him in unison.

The boss of the boat pointed to Xie Lang's ship in front of him, and exclaimed excitedly, "Look at that boat!" Look at their flags! โ€

After looking at it for a while, a young man shouted excitedly, "It's Chenjun Xie!" Oh my God, it's actually Chenjun Xie's ship! โ€

"It's not just the Chenjun Xie clan, but I know the mark on the white flag that is raised, it belongs to the Xie Eighteen of the Chenjun Xie clan!"

"It's actually Xie Eighteen!" "Great, it's Xie Eighteen!" "It's really the way to the sky!"

In a burst of ecstasy, the three cargo ships accelerated at the same time, and they waved their flags at the same time as they chased after Xie's ship.

The flags of these three cargo ships were issued for a while, and on the other side, the ship belonging to the Xie clan of Chenjun immediately replied, and their flag slogan actually was, "You are allowed to follow!" "Lower your respective flags and listen to my commands." "The ships are going one hundred and fifty paces from each other!"

So, in the blink of an eye, Ji Ji saw that the cargo ships behind actually lowered the signs of their respective families or caravans one by one, and at the same time raised a white sail of the same color as Chenjun Xie's, and the white sail also added a big and very obvious mark of Chenjun Xie's with an ink pen!

This is only secondly, as time goes on, more and more cargo ships and passenger ships appear on the river, and all the ships, after seeing the flag of Chenjun Xie, have lowered their flags and uniformly replaced them with the flag of Chenjun Xie!

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The current envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty have encountered the third wave of calamity!

The first wave of calamities, which they had encountered last night, grew up in the north, and everyone was proficient in equestrianism. The team, which was almost water-based, suddenly found that the boat they were sitting on actually leaked.

Although there were still many guards sent by Liu Song on the boat, no matter who it was, watching the boat become more and more flooded, the hull began to break, and then looking at the turbid waves, the Yangtze River water could not be seen. One by one, they are helpless or panicked!

All of a sudden. All the envoys are thinking: This time I am afraid that it will be more auspicious!

But just when they were desperate, six medium-sized cargo ships suddenly appeared behind them, and what they didn't expect was even more unexpected. These six boats are on board. It's actually their accomplice!

Overjoyed moment. The envoys fled to the ships.

But they didn't expect that in the early hours of the morning, they encountered a second wave of catastrophe! A river bandit that has come out of nowhere has surrounded their boat!

These river bandits are all brave. The only thing they didn't expect was that among the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty this time, there were actually 300 boatmen who were proficient in water who came with six boats!

So, with the assistance of the 300 water masters, the envoys beat the river bandits to the bone, although they were not completely annihilated, but they also left countless corpses on the river bandits.

And then there's the moment.

Looking at the fishermen and people scattered in front of them, fishing or boating away, not to mention two or three thousand fishermen, the Northern Wei Dynasty made everyone's face like ashes.

Lang Jun, a high-ranking man from the northern land, said in despair: "It seems that in the Liu Song royal family, someone is determined to sink us all in the Yangtze River!" โ€

As soon as he said this, the faces of the southern scholars in the team turned pale.

At this time, the envoy of this trip spoke up, he first glared at the copper bell, and roared angrily at the southern scholars who were crying, "Whoever dares to cry, grandpa will cut off your head!" โ€

After a scolding made the team quiet, the Tuoba Dai turned to Lang Jun of several northern high gates, his face was cold, and he said angrily: "What's the use of saying such frustrating words now? In this case, you should quickly think of a way! โ€

He gritted one of his teeth, spat out a mouthful of blood into the water, and scolded fiercely at the scattered boats and figures that were blocking ahead: "If Grandpa escapes this time, he must kill this rabbit cub all over the ground!" โ€

At this time, Lang Jun, another high-ranking man from the Northland, spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "As Tuoba Dai said, we must not be discouraged, we must come up with a countermeasure. โ€

When a Lang Jun heard this, he said, "Why don't we go back?" โ€

Tuoba Dai sneered, and he said angrily: "Return? Those river bandits we met just now are waiting for us in the back! โ€

"What then?" Lang Jun, a high-ranking man from the Northland, said angrily: "You can't advance or retreat, so what now?" โ€

Before Tuoba Dai could speak, another handsome Beidi Langjun spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "As Liu Lang said, since we can't advance or retreat, then let's stop for the time being. โ€

Hearing this, Tuoba Dai roared, "Stop? Stop and wait for death or wait for them to charge? โ€

The handsome Langjun was not angry, he just pursed his thin lips, stared at the dense black spots in front of him for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Let's wait for the Liu Song master who sent us six boats to come here!" Since that man was like a god, and not only saved our men, but also sent six boats and three hundred masters to eliminate the river bandits for us, then he must have known that we would be in danger in this journey, and would definitely save us again. โ€

Almost as soon as his voice fell, several voices trembled: "Quick, look, what's that?" โ€

The crowd swooped back!

This time, many people were disappointed, and Tuoba Dai shouted even more depressedly: "What is all the fuss? It's just an ordinary boat, though. โ€

Someone rejoiced and screamed, "No, no! It wasn't an ordinary boat, it was Chenjun Xie's boat. โ€

"Chenjun Xie's ship?" "What about Chenjun Xie's ship? There are only two or three hundred people in a boat, can it still deal with those two or three thousand? โ€

In the midst of the ensuing discussions, the handsome Beidi Langjun turned his head, and after whispering for a while with a person dressed as a staff member, he turned to the Tuoba Dai and shouted: "Everyone, we are saved, the ship is Chenjun Xie!" He pointed to the two flags on the ship, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, please see, those two flags are blue and white, and each has a mark on it, representing the two Langjun of the Xie clan of Chenjun. And the mark on the white flag represents the Xie Eighteenth of Chenjun Xie! โ€

In a blink of an eye, he emphasized again: "Everyone, Xie Eighteen's methods, I think everyone has understood them. The southerners all said that Xie Shibai acted prudently and never took risks lightly. He only has a boat, and he dares to call him Xie Eighteen, he must have some basis! Ladies and gentlemen, here at Xie 18, we should have no worries. โ€

The crowd was silent at first, and then burst into laughter.

Those who came from the Northern Wei Dynasty were just that, including the handsome Langjun who spoke extremely confidently, as if Xie Shibai was really invincible, deep down, he actually just had a glimmer of subtle hope. But the attitude of those southerners is completely different from theirs.

Looking at these southerners who were heartily ecstatic and almost dancing, Tuoba Dai muttered, "What are you doing? But a little white face, are these people crazy or stupid, and they actually believe in him so much? โ€

The handsome Beidi Langjun said with a wry smile: "The general doesn't know anything, this is called "Bear the high hopes of the world!" "Whether it is in the Central Plains or Hedong, there will be one or two celebrities with amazing prestige, and this Xie Eighteen should be one of them!"

In the distance, the black dot in front of the envoys was still wandering, and when the ships of the Xie clan of Chenjun were getting closer and closer, not only did they not disperse, but faintly, there seemed to be laughter, and faintly, someone seemed to be shouting, "With a boat, a broken flag, do you want to bluff me away?" โ€

Yes, he Xie Lang has the greatest reputation and is the most remarkable, with his only boat, can he still deal with two or three thousand water masters?

Just when the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty began to be uneasy again, suddenly, behind the boat of the Xie family of Chen County, another boat sailed out.

Then, more and more ships sailed out, looking at the endless fleet of ships lined up in a row, waving the same Chenjun Xie flag, stretching to the end of the sky.

It turned out that Xie Eighteen brought a huge fleet!

It turns out that they are really safe!

Suddenly, all the envoys, including Tuobada, breathed a long sigh, and their feet weakened, only to realize that their clothes were already sweaty. And beside them, there were even more joyful cries.

At this time, the scattered black spots blocking the river in front of them were solemn. After a while, I don't know who gave the order, and the black spots began to reced, and gradually, they disappeared into the jungle on the north shore!

At this time, Chen Jun Xie's ship also sailed to the side of the envoys.

Looking at these envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty who described wolf bรจi, and saw that they were happy and with a bit of complicated scrutiny, Xie Twenty-nine walked out, he crossed his hands towards everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, let you be frightened!" โ€

Just when the Tuoba Dai snorted heavily, the handsome Kitachi Langjun was observing the ships behind him, and after looking at them for a while, he exclaimed, "Those are merchant ships?" In the blink of an eye, he said again: "Those ships are not your Chenjun Xie clan at all?" โ€

Xie Twenty-nine said: "Exactly, my brother and I have no official position, and we are just going out for a walk, and these ships behind us are just some passing by, and when they see my brother in front, they voluntarily lower their flags, and the vassals are walking behind us." โ€

As soon as Xie Twenty-nine's words came out, the faces of the envoys became more and more complicated.
